According to a 2009 poll, around 1% of American adults reported eating no animal products. In 2011 that number rose to 2.5%--more than double, but still dwarfed by the 48% who reported eating meat, fish or poultry at all of their meals. In this country, most of us are blessed with an abundance of food and food choices. So taking into account our health, the environment and ethical concerns, which diet is best? Are we or aren't we meant to be carnivores?

Clinical Researcher & Author, 21-Day Weight Loss Kickstart
Neal Barnard, M.D., is Adjunct Associate Professor of Medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington, D.C., who guides numerous clinical trials investigating the effects of diet on body weight, chronic pain, and diabetes. Barnard's most recent study of dietary interventions in type 2 diabetes was funded by the National Institutes of Health. He has authored dozens of scientific publications, 15 books for lay readers, and has hosted three PBS television programs on nutrition and health, ranging from weight loss to Alzheimer's prevention. As President and Founder of the nonprofit Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, Barnard has been instrumental in efforts to reform federal dietary guidelines. He also leads programs advocating for preventive medicine, good nutrition, and higher ethical standards in research.
President and Co-Founder, Farm Sanctuary
Gene Baur, President and Co-founder of Farm Sanctuary, has been hailed as "the conscience of the food movement" by Time magazine. Since the mid-1980s, Gene has traveled extensively, campaigning to raise awareness about the abuses of industrialized factory farming and our system of cheap food production. His book, Farm Sanctuary: Changing Hearts and Minds About Animals and Food (2008), a national bestseller, is a thought-provoking investigation of the ethical questions surrounding beef, poultry, pork, milk, and egg production. It describes what each of us can do to promote compassion and help stop the systematic mistreatment of the billions of farm animals who are exploited for food in the United States every year.
Nutritional Sciences Researcher & Blogger, The Daily Lipid
Chris Masterjohn pursued a career in health and nutrition after recovering from health problems he developed as a vegan by including high-quality, nutrient-dense animal foods in his diet. He earned a PhD in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Connecticut in 2012 and currently researches the physiological interactions between fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and K at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. He has published six peer-reviewed publications and has submitted one manuscript for review. He also writes two blogs.

Eating flesh daily is not sustainable for our planet, I believe; nor is it the healthiest way to live. Plant-based lifestyles ARE sustainable, though, and we are seeing soaring medicals costs in the USA due to the horrible Standard American Diet; people are sicker and fatter than ever. Meat and dairy are not required for optimal health.
Meat isn't necessary for a healthy body. Plants are. People get sick eating animals - too much fat and by-products in them producing cancer, heart attacks and many serious diseases which don't happen on a vegan diet. Do the research and you will find that a good balanced vegan diet is by far the healthiest and most nutritious diet anyone can eat. Try it.
Farm food animals suffer miserably. This fact alone was enough to make me give up all flesh foods forever, but there is the added benefit of feeling vital, healthy & clean!!
I urge all meat-eaters to go meatless just for a week - it will change your life for the better!! You will be convinced that a plant-based diet is the best!!
I wish you all peace & grace.
I have been a vegetarian for over 45 years. Factory farming of pigs, chickens, calves, and other living beings is perverse, unhealthy for all involved. It causes so much pain, suffering and misery for animals; how can it really be okay? It is arrogant, selfish and ugly to eat animals in todays world. Yes, we all must die, but what is not acceptable is the abuse. Abuse and living a life of torture is not humane, and we do not need to do it. We each have a choice, and yes most North Americans feel somehow they 'deserve' to eat animals several times each day, even though a huge % would never want to kill the animals themselves. If you love animals, your health and our earth, please stop the abuse and the killing. Lots of delicious, gourmet foods do not require death or torture of an animal. Pura Vida!
We live in a new day of awareness in the many years of research progression. We understand life better than we ever have and clearly people know that animals feel pain and sorrow. They have emotions, they have moods, they are intelligent. It is time for the bloodshed and inhumane treatment of animals to stop. We speak of peace on earth - until we look at the way we treat life in a different way we will not have peace on earth. Animals are Sentinel Beings, they are here with us, not for us. They need our care, and we are reaping the consequences in our society for not looking into this more seriously, and responsibly. We have to get meat off the menu. Thank you for allowing me to voice my deep care and concern.
There's just no question that an animal-free diet is the healthiest, most humane, and most environmentally sound. To cause unnecessary cruelty just so we can create public health nightmares and environmental devastation simply doesn't make sense. Our bodies and our planet tell us: Go vegan. Your taste buds and the rest of your body will thank you.
Don't eat anything with a face? Not a problem. By the time my chicken gets to me, it doesn't have a face.
Everybody wants to get better but nobody wants to change, yet the most powerful action one can take to reduce pollution, free up food for the hungry and improve personal health is to eat a plant-based diet. If a person really wants to break the addiction of animal products, it can be done. I did it through substitution; I lost weight and have never felt better in my life.
I´ve been a proud vegetarian for more than 30 years, and I am happy for that. The main reason for my choice was ethical, humane, conviction and compassion for all animals, absolutely all of them. I think that eat meating is a very harmful, unconscious and unethical way of feeding, supported by an old fashioned, ignorant, wrong education about the human´s need to eat meat and dairy products from living animals. BUt nowadays the issue is more about the fact that meat industry is driven by large money, and respect to the meat comsumption, I sadly see that most people really don´t care about where their food comes from, they are indifferent to animal suffering most times. As I told, I am very glad to be in the opposite corner, always caring and respecting for all God´s creatures. Vegetarianism and veganism lifestyles represent the evolution of the human being, and the preminence of the highest values we have as such. Thank you Dr. Barnard for this light shedding live debate, I am very proud of being a supporter or PCRM. Thank you so very much!!!
I am very appreciative of the work of Dr. N. Barnard and other MD's who have taken this path. I am horrified by the cruel treatment of farmed animals and do not think this can be healthy to those who eat these animals either. Also - I suffered from health problems as did my son and since eating a plant based diet all of these issues have retreated or resolved. My son had Ulcerative Colitis and was told he would have to be on medications his entire life and he would eventually succumb to cancer of the colon. Since eating a plant based diet his GI specialist told him she cannot find any trace of his illness. I do not preach about being Plant Based but I am very grateful for the pioneering work of Dr. Barnard and invite those who don't want to eat abused animals or those who do have health problems who want to look around at alternatives to look into what Dr Barnard, Dr. Joel Furhman, Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn are saying.
Two things: 1) our species evolved eating a meat/fat based omnivorous diet for millions of years. 2) there is no traditional "vegan" culture on earth. And there never has been. There is a traditional culture that does eat a neerly 100% meat based diet with no health consequences: the Inuit.
Stop using words like moral and ethical. They are meaningless when it comes to consumption of natural resources. Use sustainable, healthy, natural.
Based on evolutionary studies the human body developed around consuming meat. It is a commonality among the most intelligent creatures.
Your concern about eating faces revolves around your Hyper Active Agency Detection Device: an adaptation to keep you on your toes when there might be a predator around. The presence of eyes nose and mouth, the presence of a brain, is the result of a long series of adaptations. There is nothing wrong or right inherent in their consumption.
If you think it is a bad idea to eat meat for social reasons that is good. Lets hear it.
I look forward to this debate. i hope to be surprised.
Generally, the narrow-mindedness of the vegan ideal as shared in many of these comments boggles my mind. I understand that you don't want to see something suffer, but to ignore the workings of an entire eco-system because death makes you uncomfortable is just not the kind of thinking that will help our planet! What is the least harmful method of food production to the ecosytem? THAT is the real question, because all living things depend on a healthy ecosystem. In order for a vegan diet to provide proper nutrition significant amounts of supplements and monocrops (i.e. soy) are involved. Too feed condensed populations there is no question that agriculture (controlling the elements of food production to make it more efficient) is the key, so the next question, which form of Agriculture does the least harm to our environment? (Or in a very well designed system actually rebuilds soil and increases the fertility of the land?) That is the kind of question we need to be asking. As well the argument that all killing is cruel and immoral is also very narrow and flawed. It's completely ignorant of the reality of nature. Death in and of itself is not cruel or unjust. It will happen to all living things. Methods of death can be cruel, but slaughtering an animal properly and quickly is much kinder than the death mother nature would provide in the wild (starvation, hunted by predators, disease etc) especially in the context of independent farms and butchers. We have stop assuming that the only option is the industrial model. Food production is at the heart of democracy and freedom. Veggie or omnivore, we need to opt out of industrial ag and support food production methods that heal the land and create resiliency in our food supply.
We are not designed to be carnivores. From the beginning of the world we were created to be herbivores. It is written in the Bible, the book of Genesis 1:1, 29-31. Not only humans were designed that way but animals , too. Believe it or not.
Eating animals is inhumane. Even the animals who are raised ethically and fed grass still have to come from somewhere. Cows are forced to give birth to beef cattle year after year without any thought for their health. Try having a baby every year for 10 years and then be killed because you no longer can. People speak against factory farming but the demand for meat is so great that organic free range farms are just not profitable so they just don't happen. There is nothing ethical about eating meat.
Everyone can eat and use whatever products they want. It's really none of my business. I do not care. I get a flu shot (made from eggs) so I am not a vegan. I eat Jell-O® (made from various animal by-products) so I am not even a vegetarian.
One more thing. I would change the title to "Don't eat anyone with a face." After all, one of the arguments for being a vegan is that animals are sentient beings and experience life. Yes?
Hey all you vegans - I've read several comments and you guys are awesome. The comments are intelligent and make great arguments as to why humans should be vegan. All of you who are former animal and animal by-product eaters have told very inspiring stories. And to all of you who still eat animals--cow, pig, chicken, turkey, et al, there is no humane "meat" raising because in the end, the animals are trucked to their death. There is no humane slaughter--this is an oxymoron (with emphasis on the moron). If you don't care about your diet or animals, please investigate why going vegan is the right thing to do for our planet. We all have to breathe the same air, drink the water and eat the food. Factory farms create pollution. Get hip.
The only way to live sustainably, feed everyone and not destroy what is left of the planet is a plant based diet. To compare ourselves to Paleo people is stupid as there were billions fewer of us. ThePaleo diet is very expensive, only for the few who can afford it. Removing factory animals from the scene would help all people, the enviornment to say nothing of the animals. The dude who quotes the Bible clearly isn't reading the King James version which admonishes humans to eat only "green" meat.
Plant eaters do not usually die of heart diseases...
We don't go about killing animals the right way. Meat free for five years now and so happy about it.

The objective of this study was to determine how patient preferences guide the course of palliative chemotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer.
Eligible patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) were enrolled nationwide in a prospective, population-based cohort study. Data were obtained through medical record abstraction and patient surveys. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate patient characteristics associated with visiting medical oncology and receiving chemotherapy and patient characteristics, beliefs, and preferences associated with receiving >1 line of chemotherapy and receiving combination chemotherapy.
Among 702 patients with mCRC, 91% consulted a medical oncologist; and among those, 82% received chemotherapy. Patients ages 65 to 75 years and aged ≥75 years were less likely to visit an oncologist, as were patients who were too sick to complete their own survey. In adjusted analyses, patients aged ≥75 years who had moderate or severe comorbidity were less likely to receive chemotherapy, as were patients who were too sick to complete their own survey. Patients received chemotherapy even if they believed that chemotherapy would not extend their life (90%) or that chemotherapy would not likely help with cancer-related problems (89%), or patients preferred treatment focusing on comfort even if it meant not living as long (90%). Older patients were less likely to receive combination first-line therapy. Patient preferences and beliefs were not associated with receipt of >1 line of chemotherapy or combination chemotherapy.
The majority of patients received chemotherapy even if they expressed negative or marginal preferences or beliefs regarding chemotherapy. Patient preferences and beliefs were not associated with the intensity or number of chemotherapy regimens. Cancer 2013. © 2012 American Cancer Society.

Hi all !
I'm currently running a lifetype install which handles multiple domains (dom1.com, dom2.com, ...). When a user creates a blog, he must specify the blog name (blog1 for instance) and the domain (dom4.com for instance). Thus, the blog url is http://blog1.dom4.com ...
Actually i'm evaluating some blogging platforms to migrate to. And wordpress 3 is an interesting candidate. However, after reading so many post on similar subjects here, i can't find an answer to this question : is there a way to accomplish such a functionality? Is it a "core capability" or do I use a specific plugin?
If feasible, is it compatible with the use of plugins such as Domain Mapping (because I also want to allow paying users to use their own domain).
I'm sorry if this question has already been addressed... If it is the case, don't hesitate to blame me and to redirect me to the right post...
Thanks in advance,

DAMN this game is just like the Syobon Action (Cat Mario Bros Version)!!!
Some of the traps I already knew by the Syobon Action, but this game is fucking bullshiting with me!! What the fuck! xD

My God, that huge rock..
Is an utter bastard!!!!!!!!!!!!
but a brilliant game.

Should be called the frustration Game.
A nice idea, but I think it had a greater potential. The engine wasn't perfect, and the level designs were too obvious and predictable, it's just you didn't when. Some more unique twist on this would be good.
However I loved the game, it was fun to play, and you got playing for over 2 minutes. Well done!
P.s. Have you ever watched Super Mario Vros Frustration? ;)
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
but a copied idea. It's much like a mario game I once saw that was impossibly hard. If it was just more original maybe I'd enjoy it more...
Heh, There hasn't been a Flash version of it so I thought there should be one, plus I thought I changed it a fair bit for it too be more unique.

Firm celebrates 75 years of Valentine's Days
SANTA ANA - About half of U.S. businesses close or sell within five years of startup. So Macres Florist, which opened in Santa Ana in 1935 is rare indeed.
The shop opened by Harry Macres and son Albert, is at the corner of Broadway and Fifth, a building that survived the 1932 Long Beach earthquake.
Orange County resident Marlene Papendick recalls a story about her uncle, Harold Ullrich, who worked as a teenager for the Macreses in 1936 in Anaheim.
"He delivered for them and did whatever they wanted him to do." Papendick says. "There was going to be a parade in Anaheim, and (Harry) Macres wanted to put something in it. My uncle told him he could get this mountain goat, and they could hook a cart up to him and the goat could pull it full of flowers through the parade."
Ullrich captured a goat in Modjeska Canyon and managed to get it into the back of the Macres' delivery van.
The parade entry went off as planned, but "they never did get the smell of that goat out of the van!" Papendick says.
Macres built the Santa Ana float for the Rose Parade from 1947 through 1950.
The shop decorated for the seasons. It was also a popular stop for politicians, including Culbert Olson, who was California governor from 1939 to 1943.
Harry went off to produce flower shows throughout Southern California. Al eventually turned the shop over to son Mike, who still runs it with wife Trisha.
But Mike's son is an attorney and won't take over the business.

Heroes of Newerth adds premium Duke Nukem voice
Duke Nukem voice actor Jon St John has lent his dulcet tones – or tones, anyway – to the new Bad Ass Pack for Heroes of Newerth. Playing an RTS game has never been this manly.
According to Big Download, The Bad Ass Pack is the latest substantial patch for the game, and along with all the usual fripperies of tweaking and balancing, includes a paid, premium option of switching out the regular match announcer for St John's hyper-masculine voicings.
"Pff," you may exclaim. "Why would I pay for that? What possible difference could it make?" To which we would answer: watch the trailer embedded below. Awesome.
You can check out the full patch notes through this link.

Console.WriteLine("Decrypted Text: " + decrypted);
Encryption Class
public string Encrypt(string plainText, X509Certificate2 cert)
RSACryptoServiceProvider publicKey = (RSACryptoServiceProvider)cert.PublicKey.Key;
byte[] plainBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(plainText);
byte[] encryptedBytes = publicKey.Encrypt(plainBytes, false);
string encryptedText = encryptedBytes.ToString();
return encryptedText;
public string Decrypt(string encryptedText, X509Certificate2 cert)
RSACryptoServiceProvider privateKey = (RSACryptoServiceProvider)cert.PrivateKey;
byte[] encryptedBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(encryptedText);
byte[] decryptedBytes = privateKey.Decrypt(encryptedBytes, false);
string decryptedText = decryptedBytes.ToString();
return decryptedText;
As you can see, in the main class I am importing a certificate. Then I am creating an instance of the Encryption class. Then I pass plaintext to the Encrypt method along with the certificate in order to get the encrypted text. Afterwards, I pass the encrypted text to the Decrypt method to get the plaintext back.
My problem is that the result of printing the encrypted text is System.[]Byte (if I comment out the decryption call). If I do not comment out the decryption call, I get a Cryptographic Exception: Bad Data in the decryption method.
I guess that the encryptedBytes array is not being converted correctly to string. Furthermore, I am not sure if I am forming the RSAEncryptionProvider correctly. How can I solve this please?
I solved one issue. When converting from byte array to string, I had to use Encoding.UTF8.GetString(EncryptedBytes). The problem now is that the decrypt method is giving me another cryptographic exception (he data to be decrypted exceeds the maximum for this modulus of 128 bytes).
Does anybody know why this is happening and how to solve it?

Paterson Glad There Are Worse People Than Him for New York to Hate
There truly is a silver lining to every cloud.
The governor has fallen on some hard times recently, with his poll numbers dropping, his staff in flux, and members of his own party publicly doubting his performance. But at least Paterson is keeping his sense of humor. Over the weekend he expressed gratitude for the dream-crushing baseball cheats and life-ruining Ponzi-schemers that make him look good by comparison. "If it wasn't for A-Rod and Bernie Madoff they'd just about run me out of this state right now," he told WFAN. [Spin Cycle/Newsday]

Laptop computers donated to schoolsJanuary 09,2013SUNDERLAND Google donated 36 laptop computers to the Bennington-Rutland Supervisory Union recently, according to Superintendent Dan French.
The computers, called Chromebooks because they run using Googles Chrome operating system, will expand the districts initiative of having one computer for every student.
In a statement French thanked Google.
Our partnership with Google over the last six years has had a tremendous impact on our educational delivery systems and has greatly enhanced our ability to personalize learning for students, he said.
A press release said the laptops are good for schools because they are easy to maintain and manage.

Rooms are basic, nothing fantastic. Restaurant is good with some atypical options, the staff is the best part - very kind and helpful.
It's a nice walkable area, between rooms and main lodge building, and well lit at night. Wifi in the lodge is a huge bonus! Front desk staff are good, but sometimes are on autopilot!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Every national park has its top lodge, the one place to stay that reflects all the park stands for.

The Senate on Monday rejected a Democratic effort to move forward with campaign finance legislation.
In a 51-44 vote that fell along party lines, the Senate blocked the DISCLOSE Act, the Democrats' most recent attempt to answer the U.S. Supreme Court's Citizens United decision with legislation. Sixty votes were necessary for the bill to move forward.
The bill would require companies, unions and other entities to report campaign spending of more than $10,000.
Democrats were expected to continue the debate into the evening to call attention to the issue. They are describing a series of speeches set to go into Tuesday morning as a "midnight vigil."
"We recognize that you don't win every fight in round one, and this is a fight worth continuing," the Senate bill's lead sponsor, Sen. Sheldon WhitehouseSheldon WhitehouseWhy Kaine is the right choice for Clinton Report: More, stronger cyber attacks to flood networks Senate Dems push Obama for more Iran transparency MORE (D-R.I.), said Monday in a statement. "Putting an end to secret election spending by special interests is an essential step in protecting middle class priorities. For that reason, we are committed to continuing the debate on the DISCLOSE Act late into the night and asking for a second vote tomorrow if need be."
Republicans accused Democrats of setting up a vote they knew would fail in order to score political points against the GOP. They also criticized Democrats for not taking action on the Bush tax rates, which are set to expire at the end of the year. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnellMitch McConnellProgressive group changes tone on Kaine Trump hits Kaine on TPP: He supports a 'job killer' Clinton maps out first 100 days MORE (R-Ky.) argued a tax increase would hurt the economy at a time of high unemployment.
"For 40 straight months of unemployment above 8 percent … and our friends in the majority want us to pass this bill that everyone from the ACLU to the NRA is opposed to," McConnell said seconds before the campaign finance vote. "This is an ultimate waste of Senate time."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) countered: "We know the Republicans don't like disclosure. You can find that from the person they're going to nominate for the President of the United States," a reference to Mitt Romney not releasing more of his tax returns.
Democrats argued it is necessary to limit the amounts corporations and individuals can give for political messaging. Without restrictions, they argue the rich and corporations will have too powerful a voice.
"I believe that the amount of money in American politics today is stealing America's democracy," Sen. John KerryJohn KerryThree strategies to help Clinton build 'Team of Teams' A legacy on the line Power restored at Turkish air base used in anti-ISIS fight MORE (D-Mass.) said. "It is robbing Americans of the right to have the kind of representation and the kind of discussion that Americans deserve."
The Senate failed to advance a similar bill in 2010, which would have required reporting after $600 in campaign spending.

Many times growers will sell out of their marketable trees prior to the end season.

Karina White Lingerie shows the sexy porn star in more lesbian action. Both hot females are wearing similar lingerie while making out on the bed. The girl on top is wearing a pink pair while the girl at the bottom is wearing a blue one. Both ladies have white panties on. This photo makes us wonder what Karina White really prefers more—girls or boys. She looks like she's so into her girlfriend here that she's got us confused. But we don't mind, girls who like girls are always more fun. This photo makes us want to see more action from these two ladies and makes us want to join in too.

Most people have heard of termites; not everyone has seen termite pictures.
Skim through these and you'll have a better idea of who, what, where, when and why they are the cause of so much damage to our homes and how we can do a lot more than just leave it to the pest professionals. DIY termite control has arrived. These illustrations should encourage you to confidently join the ranks of the DIY termite killers.
The first time you see termites it will probably be accidental. You'll move a piece of timber you've kept until it came in handy, or a log, or you'll bump a skirting board… then you'll know why 'they' called them "white ants".
You identify the termite species only by the heads of the soldiers. Here are some of the main culprits…
They damage timber much faster than others but they are native to north of the Tropic of Capricorn and seldom found in sub tropical climates.
This must have been a shock. The plastic insulation of this in-wall electrical wiring was eaten by Coptos and exposed the copper wire in places.
A short-out occurs and if there isn't a Safety Switch, there could be a fire. Anyway, the lights go out and it would take a genius electrician to work out where and why.
Invitation to a termite scout. If you've ever wondered how termites know there is timber "up there" somewhere, this could partially explain it. Here is the building sequence: the concrete footings and slab is poured, the timber frame is erected (and then there were two days of rain resulting in the stain running down over the concrete into the soil).
Next the brick or block wall is erected starting on the ledge. Then the concrete pathway or landscaping is butted up to the new wall. A chemical barrier is supposed to be applied around the base of the wall before any path is laid but this seldom happens or if it does, the concreters usually disturb or breach it during their preparation. The building is finished.
Now it is over to the scouts from any nearby termite colony. That stain is an indicator that trace indicators of resin, fungal spores — anything from the wood, has seeped into the soil. A scout detecting these indicators then goes "upstream" towards the source. The photo below shows how gaps may be left where the first row of bricks were laid on the slab edge. A hole 3mm or bigger is enough for them to get through under and behind the dampcourse up into the frame. As all the timbers in a building are joined to each other, termites can get to everything and hollow it out. This form of "keyhole surgery" or "liposuction" removes the strength of the building though the tiny opening below ground level. This is why you should inspect your home at least once a year to detect incipient damage before it becomes a major issue.

Books I've Read for School [College Edition]
Submitted by geek on Wed, 07/16/2003 - 05:57
- The Jew Store by Stella Suberman
- Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass
- The Wild West: The Mythical Cowboy & Social Theory by Will Wright
- Autobiography by Benjamin Franklin - Everyone in my class hated this. They said it was dry and really really boring. I, on the other hand, was fascinated by it. I loved reading it. I drove my sister crazy talking about Ben Franklin. I wrote down quotes from the book so that I would remember them later. I even made Ben my new hero - my new plan is to just learn everything I can so I can be educated in a ton of different areas. I guess I'm the exception, though, because I was the only person in my class who enjoyed reading it.
- A Feeling for the Organism: The Life and Work of Barbara McClintock by Evelyn Fox Keller - I'm not really one for biographies to begin with, but then throw in a bunch of confusing stuff about genetics on top of that? Forget it. I feel like the book was trying to appeal to audiences either with or without a scientific background, however it may have failed with both communities. Scientists would be bored with the simplistic descriptions of genetics and non-scientists would be completely lost on the more in depth chapters.
- Past and Present: Ideas That Changed Our World by Stuart and Terry Hirschberg - This book is really great. It's filled with short articles by various authors and it gives all the background info I need to understand the context, etc. I haven't read nearly all of it yet, but I'm actually kind of looking forward to it...
- An Anthropologist on Mars by Oliver Sacks - This is a collection of case studies of Sacks' patients, and so interesting. I think it questions what is normal and reality, but I was never any good at reading comprehension. I'm even looking forward to reading more into it in my English class this fall.

and that would be my main page for my blog, but
would be flat pages, managed with the install of WP Alpha version...
I was thinking, I'd just install WP into a folder called blog inside the root of my server, but them, how would WP manage flat pages outside that folder.
The exact paths aren't critical, but I guess I'm basically looking to put "pages" on the index.php page and not the chronological posts, which I'd like to have on a different page?
Have anyone done that and willing to share on how to make it happen?
Thanks all.

- In addition to the General Program, four concentrations are available:
- Administration of Nonprofit Agencies
- Criminal Justice Administration
- Educational Administration – WebPlus Program
- Healthcare Administration
- The program requires 36-37 credit hours, and is ideally completed part-time to suit the schedule of working professionals.
- The General Program and the Educational Administration concentration are offered in a blended format, with once-per-month Saturday classes combined with online learning
- Classes in Criminal Justice, Health Care, and Nonprofit Agencies are offered primarily on-campus in the evenings with some mixed-mode courses.
- UM-Flint faculty make themselves available to students outside the normal class schedule, with flexible office hours and online availability.
- UM-Flint's interdisciplinary MPA program is comprised of faculty and courses from political science, economics, health care, education, criminal justice, sociology, and psychology, offering a rich and varied knowledge base.
- Alumni include top administrators in health care, government, education, and nonprofits as well as notable elected state and city leaders and legislators.
- UM-Flint is part of the world-renowned University of Michigan system. Students are able to tap into resources from our sister campuses in Dearborn and Ann Arbor.
- Whether currently employed in a public organization or interested in starting a graduate degree before obtaining concurrent work experience, you will receive the balanced, advanced education necessary to become a capable, decisive leader.

Google Asks Appeals Court to Keep E-Mail Out of Oracle Trial
Google Inc., fighting a lawsuit filed by Oracle Corp., asked a U.S. appeals court to keep secret an engineer's e-mail that says the company should negotiate a license for the Java programming language.
Google is trying to prevent jurors from seeing an e-mail that Google software engineer Tim Lindholm wrote in August 2010, days before Oracle filed a lawsuit contending Google's Android operating system was designed using patented and copyrighted features of Oracle's Java.
U.S. District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco on Oct. 20 ruled that the e-mail wasn't subject to attorney-client confidentiality protection. Google filed a petition with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington yesterday, seeking to overrule that decision.
The Federal Circuit gave Oracle until Nov. 28 to respond to Google's petition, according to an order posted on the court's website. A copy of the petition wasn't immediately available.
In the e-mail to Android creator Andrew Rubin, Lindholm said he was asked by Google Chief Executive Officer Larry Page and company co-founder Sergey Brin to "investigate what technical alternatives exist to Java for Android and Chrome."
"We've been over a bunch of these, and think they all suck," Lindholm wrote. "We conclude that we need to negotiate a license for Java under the terms we need."
Mountain View, California-based Google contends the e-mail was written as a result of an effort by the company and its lawyers to formulate a response to Oracle's allegations. Google said they were mistakenly disclosed to Oracle.
Deborah Hellinger, a spokeswoman for Redwood City, California-based Oracle, said the company had no comment.
The case is Oracle America Inc. v. Google Inc., 10-03561, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California (San Francisco).

Customer Reviews
Great Story and Use of Media
The creators of Dragon Brush have authored a very nice little story with some moral themes. It is a great story to teach children with. Anyone who thinks it is about income inequality is missing the point though.
The producers have also done a masterful job of using the interactive app environment to tell the the story and draw children in as well. There are various little surprises on almost every page that keep kids interested and wanting to re-read the story again and again. The paint app is also a nice little addition.
I hope to see more like this from the same team! Thank you!
Awful story, beautifully done
The story suggests that this young boy murders the greedy emperor (marooned on a small island In a magical lake and unable to swim) for being...greedy. The punishment for the emperor's "crime" is disproportionate and malicious. And The young rabbit would also almost certainly be killed by the Royal guards following his stunt. There is little positive in this story. Just recklessness and thoughtless abuse of power...by a young rabbit with a magic brush. There are better ways to tell a story about the unfairness of income inequality. I would like a refund.
Spectacularly delightful!
I don't understand why this doesn't have more ratings and reviews. This app is positively glorious and fun for the whole family. It's a fun and unique story telling device, that repeatedly delights.

Hey there guys, I'm having an issue with the Buddypress Admin Bar, where the bar shows itself on top of the Dashboard, overlapping/obscuring links and other content.
The issue is not replicated when you enter my site (www.astromono.com) either logged in or not, so it leads me to believe it's not a theme-based problem.
Any ideas?

Top Definition
Pertaining to the Victorian and Edwardian era in Britain. A time of sepia, steam and iron; imperial pomp, extravagant facial hair, and more starch and crinoline than you could shake an ivory-tipped stick at. The word is a blend modelled on "Jacobethan" (Jacobean + Elizabethan).
Victwardian semi-detached houses are popular with upwardly-mobile couples with young children.

Minnesota Dance Theatre's entire board of directors steps down
Promo image from Minnesota Dance Theatre's Fall Season performance, 2013
The news was unexpected. Last night, Minnesota Dance Theatre's board of directors announced that they would resign as a whole. The dance company and school, however, remains successful and intact.
See also:
Minnesota Dance Theatre celebrates 50 years with 'Carmina Burana' [a retrospective]
The note was short and sweet:
After thoughtful deliberation, the Minnesota Dance Theatre and Dance Institute Board of Directors has decided to resign. It is no longer able to serve the needs of the organization going forward. The organization remains solvent and critically successful. We hope that the company and school will continue to succeed in the hands of a new board and the artistic director.
We request that any further inquiries be directed to the offices of Minnesota Dance Theatre and the Dance Institute.
Thank you.
The MDT/DI Board of Directors.
Later in the evening, Minnesota Dance Theatre's artistic director, Lise Houlton, daughter of company founder Loyce Houlton, issued a statement in response to the earlier announcement. "I continue to be excited and motivated by the artistic integrity and energy of the company dancers, our teachers dedicated to high quality dance training, and the young aspiring dancers journeying on a 'path of excellence.' Many of us have sustained long, fulfilling careers in this organization," she states. In the note, she goes on to point that MDT has plenty of projects and performances coming up, including shows at the Lab Theater in collaboration with Dominique Serrand (which opened last weekend and continues through January), as well as spring shows at the Cowles Center for Performing Arts and the annual student showcase.
Minnesota Dance Theatre is one of the bigger dance troupes in town. The company was founded in 1962 by Loyce Houlton, a Minnesota native who had spent years in New York City training with dance heavyweights such as George Balanchine and Martha Graham. Over the years, the troupe's Nutcracker has become a holiday tradition, and it's fall and spring concerts have also proved popular. Famous alumni include Back to the Future's Lea Thompson, who performed in the controversial Carmina Burana in Minnesota before making it in Hollywood, and Prince, who took classes with the school and even performed for a benefit for the organization.

I'm a 33 year old production manager and lighting designer from Boston. I travel frequently for purposes of both work and leisure; I enjoy art exhibits and concerts, eating well, and meeting new people.
I love experiencing new places through the lens of the locals, and I love airbnb for connecting me more closely to people and places I wouldn't otherwise find (through travel guides, etc.). I am a fun person and I love to socialize, but I am not a party animal. I'm a well traveled working professional and I'm very respectful of shared living spaces.

I am working on an online magazine AS WELL as the blog of the online magazine here: Liquid Imagination Blog. My goal is to take some of the best of the online magazine and post it at the Liquid Imagination Blog. I aim to feature and promote the writers and artists in such a way that pleases them and captures the readers' imagination. I just posted a wonderful story by Sue Babcock called "Second Chance."
Seriously, what would bring you coming back to the blog I'm creating? Contests are already offered through my private web office AND through the online magazine. Would offering contests through the blog entice you, pique your interest? Such as the winner of a writing/poetry contest?
Let me know what you think. Please be brutal in your honesty. I am not a computer wiz, so making changes based on your critiques will take some time.
Thanks in advance! I TRULY appreciate it!!

Medicine as a Biologic Evil
When Darwin's doctrine of evolution became generally accepted, the danger that medical treatment might, by promoting the survival of the unfit, be injurious to the race was of course perceived. But this objection never seems to have been taken seriously by the leaders of the medical profession, too busily occupied with the prevention and treatment of disease to trouble about what they no doubt regarded as a doubtful corollary. But now no less a man than Dr. A. P. Beddard, physician to Guy's Hospital and lecturer on medicine in the medical school, brings forward strong arguments to show that the practice of medicine is exercising a dysgenic effect on the race. In a paper read before the Guy's Hospital Physical Society and published in Guy's Hospital Gazette, entitled "The Rôle of the Medical Profession in Biology," he says that when he was a student the

BRYAN (October 8, 2013)—A janitor at an elementary school in Bryan who's accused of trying to fondle several female students while hugging them, has been charged with three counts of indecency with a child by contact.
Juan Jose Ledezma, 58, was held in the Brazos County Jail Tuesday in lieu of bonds totaling $105,000.
He was arrested after an investigation that started in May when police received allegations that Ledezma, while working at Neal Elementary School, inappropriately touched several girls while giving them hugs, authorities said.
Police say an 11-year-old and two 12-year-old girls came forward over the course of the investigation and said they had been inappropriately touched by Ledezma several times, KBTX-TV in Bryan reported.
Ledezma, who was arrested Friday, resigned from the Bryan Independent School District shortly after the investigation began.
Further details weren't immediately released by police.

People who send me an email get a message back saying my inbox is full. I do actually receive the email.
Is this a virus? How do I stop this happening?
Are there any attachments to the emails the others receive? If yes, what kind of attachments? If it is
If there are no attachments, then clear out your inbox, it's not a virus. It's you not cleaning out your inbox.
Each user on a server is assigned a certain amount of disk space. Yours is full. Delete unwanted items and then empty the trash, or call your provider and ask them to increase your quota.
You're probably getting some, but not all, of your incoming mail.
Say someone sends you a 42k email message and your account has just enough room to write the message to disk: the server will acknowledge receipt of the message and the sender will not receive a bounce. Three minutes later, when another message arrives but there's no room left to write it, the server returns an error saying your inbox is full. Later, you check your mail and create a little more space. Rinse and repeat.
