A roadside bomb hit a police patrol in Pakistan's troubled northwest on Monday killing five officers, police said.
The incident took place during a routine patrol in the remote mountainous Shangla district, 230 kilometres (143 miles) northeast of Peshawar, the main town of northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
"It was an IED which hit their vehicle. All the five policemen died on the spot," district police chief Mohammad Hussain told AFP by telephone.
Police official Arif Khan said the high intensity bomb destroyed the van the officers were in and killed them.
"Some of the dead bodies are badly mutilated," Khan told AFP, adding that one senior police officer was among the dead.
Pakistan's interim Prime Minister Mir Hazar Khan Khoso strongly condemned the attack and ordered the authorities to "report the findings that led to the tragic incident", his media office said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but Pakistani Taliban have frequently targeted security forces with bomb and gun attacks as part of a five-year insurgency concentrated in the northwest.

Arts No free lunches when it comes to bat sex
Here's a fun AP story the Seattle PI ran today:
A research team led by Syracuse University biologist Scott Pitnick found that in bat species where the females are promiscuous, the males boasting the largest testicles also had the smallest brains. Conversely, where the females were faithful, the males had smaller testes and larger brains.
"Bats invest an enormous amount in testis, and the investment has to come from somewhere. There are no free lunches," said David Hoskens [a biologist at the Centre for Ecology and Conservation at the University of Exeter in England and a leading authority on bats' mating behavior.]
The study found that in more monogamous species, the average male brain size was about 2.6 percent of body weight, while in promiscuous species, the average size dipped to 1.9 percent.
Which begs the question: Are humans considered a monogamous species? And may I get brains with my testicles?

Wendell's "What to Wear?" - Dress to Impress
Hey Raising Whitley Fans,
Don't faint but yes, I have on a suit and yes, I own a few... lol! As we say in the biz I had to "take a meeting" so I chose a tan suit. When you wear a plain color suit make sure to top it off with a print shirt so you won't be too blah. I chose a patterned shirt mixed with my hair down—I served it.
Now, when the Hollywood wife summons you to her house for a serious talk (yeah summons because a Hollywood husband does not live in), it's best to choose a bright shirt just in case the talk is doom and gloom.
Now, when your child wants to explore their musical talents parent and child can tap into their inner rocker look! My Joshua sported a colorful shirt filled with reds, blues, greens, and I matched him, well not exactly, but with blues and greens. See, you can match closely even if you shop at two totally different stores. Now if you look closely my pants appear to be green leather, however it's just an illusion because the pants are jeans with a green coating. I think we gave you rocker with Whitley.
Showmanship! Showmanship! you want the people in the club to hear what you say but also I like to give fashion, so just throw on a sequence jacket with plain pants and plain shirt and they will think you went out and spent a mint. All of my outfits are not as costly as you may think, ok maybe some are but all of my looks can be done on a low budget.
Until next week fashionistas! Make sure you sign up for OWNers to get all the latest blogs, and everything Oprah.

A few basic questions to accelerate my wordpress plugin development start. I'd like to develop a wordpress plugin that adds some javascript and css to a specific page. What filters or actions should be used? How to restrict execution of a plugin to a single (known) page? How can a plugin add some content to a page?
WordPress has a built-in function called wp_enqueue_script() which will allow a certain piece of JavaScript to be included in a page. If you'd just like to see that script on a particular page, you can conditionally call it from the theme file. For example:
You can do something similar with wp_register_style() and wp_enqueue_style() to include the CSS as well.
Take a look at Page Specific CSS/JS plugin source code -- This simple plugin allows you include a separate stylesheet and/or javascript file for any page on your site.

Reactions are mixed on Chris Abril plea deal
Published: Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 11:15 a.m.
Residents in Polk County had mixed reactions to former Sheriff Chris Abril accepting a plea bargain on Monday and being sentenced to five years probation for sex crimes that occurred 20 years ago.
Abril, 47, pleaded guilty to two counts of soliciting indecent liberties with minors stemming from incidents that occurred in 1988 and 1989 with a then 10-year-old girl and 12-year-old girl.
Residents couldnt believe how someone who was facing a mandatory life sentence if convicted could only be sentenced to probation. Others stood behind Abril and argued the charges were politically motivated.
A Landrum, S.C., resident said she believed Abril was innocent.
He didnt do anything wrong, she said.
Debbie Foster of Lynn said that she hated what happened to Abril.
I voted for him, she said. I know his family and he has been big in this community. I still feel this was a political thing.
Melanie Cobb of Tryon said she knew Abril personally. I feel sad for his family, she said. I think the world of him. This whole thing has been hard on the community.
Tyler Philpott said he believes Abril is a good man.
I am glad to see it all over with, he said.
Doris Hardin said she felt Abril took the plea bargain because of the pressure.
I dont blame him, she said. I was surprised when I saw it in the news.
Judge Zoro Guice Jr. sentenced Abril Monday to five years probation, three of which will be supervised, and 120 days of house arrest after the former sheriff agreed to the plea arrangement. Abril is not required to register as a sex offender.
Defense attorney Greg Newman said state law does not require criminals convicted of this felony to register as sex offenders. Abril pleaded guilty to a class J felony, which under current sentencing laws no longer exists.
Typically, there is a fixed list of criminal offenses, of felonies, that require a person to register on the sex offense list, Newman said. Those tend to be sex offenses, where the offense actually takes place - in other words, a touching, a sexual conduct, something that something has actually taken place, and not soliciting, which Abril pled to.
Abril, a Democrat, was arrested on Aug. 28, 2006, but wound up winning the election for the sheriffs post over incumbent David Satterfield 10 weeks later.
No one interviewed by the Times-News Tuesday had any thoughts on who the next sheriff should be.
Under state law, the Polk County Democratic Party will choose a replacement for Abril and forward it to the Board of Commissioners to be approved. The Executive Committee of the Democratic Party plans to meet at 7 p.m. Thursday to make its choice, and commissioners will meet at 7 p.m. Friday to approve it.

Letters to the Editor
The slumlord must go!
The article on Spiros Zorbalas was not only informative but eye-opening ("The Slumlord of South Minneapolis," 1/30/08). How can this lowlife continue to operate, even as a "slumlord," in our city? Surely something can be, and must be done about this no-good property owner raping the lives of some of the least fortunate people in our society. Is it possible for your readers to electronically sign a petition to bring "The Rat" in front of the licensing body that oversees rental properties in Minneapolis? Surely laws exist that would regulate and punish building owners for this kind of abuse to rental tenants. In a city that is so kind to less fortunates, there certainly has to be an avenue that can be pursued to eliminate such seedy characters as Zorbalas. The sad reality is that there are others like "The Rat" who feed off the inequalities of the poor, and we, as responsible citizens, must not let people like Zorbalas continue to operate their rundown rental properties. Your input into reaching the correct authorities would be appreciated. This man has to go!
Gary P. Minneapolis
No name comes up more often than Spiros
I was thrilled when I saw the cover of this week's issue! I have been in the tenant-screening industry for the past five years and have just about heard it all when it comes to bad tenants or bad landlords stories—but no name comes up more often than that of Spiros Zorbalas or his companies. UPi is impossible to do business with and I can only imagine (with the help of the many stories I hear) what it would be like to rent one of their units. Thank you for researching and writing such a great piece!
Robyn Kunz Crystal
A former (frigid) tenant
Thanks for your story on UPi/Spiros Zorbalas. I lived in one of UPi's "nicer" buildings, and was confronted with no heat when it was below zero, nonexistent maintenance (a guy showed up three months after I'd placed a call about having no power—luckily I was able to resolve it myself the next day), frequent building break-ins, and the most incompetent, uncaring front office staff ever. I urge those who live or have lived in UPi's buildings to prove Spiros wrong and take action against this awful company.
Steve Dallas Minneapolis
Overflowing garbage? Must be Zorbalas.
After we finished reading the recent slumlord article about Spiros Zorbalas, we thought about the building next door with the overflowing dumpster and then went to the website to look at the map of his properties. Surprise, surprise, he owns the building next door as well as five others on this block. We are wondering how to get involved in working against him, working to get him out of our neighborhoods and our communities. Could you, City Pages, give us a list of proper steps to take to get involved? Contacts?
Thanks for printing the article, and hopefully people in the cities will get more involved in this issue to make sure this article doesn't turn out to be useless, like Zorbalas predicted.
Rebecca and Kennedy Minneapolis
Where was the mayor?
The exposing of one of the biggest slumlords in the city was much appreciated, but also depressing. Mayor R.T. Rybak filled us with crap when he promised to address the affordable housing crisis and help low-income people have better access to safe, decent, affordable homes. Instead he's focused on Moneyed Minneapolis. He's got a new place for millionaires to play and tons of homes for them to live. Anyone making less than $30,000 has been sacrificed. It's disgusting that for all the talk so many of Minneapolis's elected officials give to helping those less fortunate, they continue to allow assholes like Zorbalas to continue their crap. Hopefully, the list of buildings will help renters know what they're moving into.
Karla Weigold Minneapolis
Making a difference
Great piece on Spiros Zorbalas! I think this piece is going to get a huge response from the Twin Cities. Perhaps you didn't intend to make a difference with the piece, but I sincerely hope you do!
Marie Martin Minneapolis
Less talk, more rockin' the boat
After reading Kaminsky's article on the new king of Minneapolis slumlords, Spiros Zorbalas, I found myself nearly as mad at the entire Minneapolis City Council as I was at that Greek piece of shit. The council's ability to debate the mistreatment of circus elephants while roofs fall on sweet, young music students' heads means that that entire body is not doing their job. "Well, ya see, regulations dictate that revocation of rental licenses can only occur when three or more infractions coincide with the summer solstice and..." Fuck your regulations. Make new ones, then. If this isn't the perfect example of local government screwin' the pooch, then what is? Councilman Schiff, less talky-talky, more do-y do-y, ya bum.
Joe Widmer Minneapolis
Rich get richer, the poor default on their mortgage
So let me get this right. If I am late on my house payment (or rent) I can get thrown out of my home and have my credit rating slashed, but a convicted felon can traipse into St. Paul's Housing and Redevelopment Authority and receive $3.99 million in loans? Did they do even a basic background check? Either the City Council is complicit, or they're incompetent. Either way they should be ashamed of themselves.

Spiros goes scot-free
As far as I can tell, the city can apparently do nothing about this guy—not even with everyone on my block calling the cops over and over for just about everything imaginable. Isn't there something we can do about landlords like this? Again, thanks for the article...it's a welcome sight.
Michelle Layland Minneapolis
Seize the initiative, and the properties!
I'm appalled at the conditions that the most vulnerable people are forced to endure. It's quite obvious that in most aspects of our society, the only way to right the wrongs is to have money for attorneys. In my opinion, the city of Minneapolis should seize the buildings, collect the rents for the landlord, and not release the monies to him until the conditions are acceptable on an ongoing basis. I can't believe this is happening in the state of Minnesota!

Forget about getting a new fridge
Thank you so much for printing the article about Zorbalas.
One time I tried to help my brother-in-law get his fridge fixed/replaced in his 3700 Grand Ave. S. apartment (it had been a month since they complained and nothing was done about it). When I went down to the UPi office, I was told that the owner was in Florida.
They never did get their fridge so they moved out instead.
This man needs to be stopped! Too many people are busy living their lives and trying to get by without having to fight for a clean, usable space to live in. They are paying for the space, and he's abusing that!
Thanks again for bringing this to attention. Is there anything the average person can do to help this situation?

My husband and I got married here on 10-11-12. Our room was awesome, although some confusion about booking it at the beginning. Also, it was roomy and looked right over our wedding site. Ate at the restaurant and it was superb. Only real complaint was not knowing what to do prior to the wedding. No one really instructed me in what time to go down and then photographer came and told us I was late. Other than that, it was a magical experience!

I have heard that the only planets able to be seen outside the Solar system are Jovian-sized planets with the occasional detection of planets three times the Earth's size. But, as far as I know, we haven't seen any Earth-sized (due to the range of our telescopes?) extrasolar planets. When will we be able to detect them?
In 2013, the smallest detected exoplanet was Kepler-37-b, which is actually smaller in mass and size than Earth, so we already had a limited ability to detect these size exoplanets.
It is worth noting that there wasn't any new technology that allowed this advance, the paper linked to by NASA indicates that the same methods were used as they would usually use. Making it remarkable that they were even able to discover something this small.
Now, even more Earth-sized planets have been detected. One method used to aid in their detection is described as follows:
Perhaps after the launch of ESA's PLATO space observatory, currently slated to be launched in 2024.
According to this BBC article:
See also Jeremy's answer to this question.
We are now able to find smaller exoplanets than the Earth.
Read the article published in Nature from here.
(Earth is twice bigger than Mars.)
We can find Earth like Extra-Solar Planets, but they just might be too close to their star, and therefore, life might not be in the planet. We are right now living in a "Goldilocks Planet". Goldilocks planets are in the habitable zone, where there is life, and H2O that is at the right temperature to be a flowing liquid.
Anyway, a planet such as Gliese 876 d, is WAY too close to the star it orbits, (Gliese 876) Which it is highly unlikely that life exists, considering it is 377'C (710.6'F)

Regency London's elegant ballrooms mask a daring world of erotic adventure. In this second novel in Gaelen Foley's Spicy Trilogy, a mysterious beauty with a devastating secret discovers, in the arms of a bold and fearless cavalry officer, passion that breaks all boundaries.
Some say the aristocratic Balfour clan is cursed, a once-great family now in slow decline. Graceful Lily Balfour is her family's last hope, and she has come to London with one goal–to marry a rich man. Her well-laid plans are balked, however, by the irresistible Major Derek Knight, a handsome highborn soldier and adventurer newly returned from India.
Hardened by battles on India's lawless frontiers, Derek is not just a fighter but a skilled and insatiable lover–a master of the Eastern arts of pleasure. Though Derek finds no shortage of willing women in London, it is the untouchable, aloof Lily who haunts him. After one stolen moment, he hungers for nights of sensual abandon to fulfill her fantasies and free her from her self-imposed prison. But he has come to England on a vital mission, and when Lily is pledged to a wealthy man suspected of corruption, Derek must thwart the treachery that ensnares them both–for only then will ecstasy and the sweet promise of her heart be his to claim.

The Ins and Outs of Mobile Apps
Question No. 1: Can you do it yourself?
For many small companies, apps are turning into a valuable marketing tool.
Journal Report
Read the complete Small Business report.
As more people come to rely on smartphones, entrepreneurs are cooking up mobile software that offers a quick way to connect with the business or learn more about it. The apps cover a bunch of jobs, from scheduling appointments and dishing out discounts to giving information about the company.
Take Danny Abrams, owner of Manhattan's Mermaid Inn restaurants. He was looking for a new way to educate and excite seafood lovers about oysters—a potentially confusing food with lots of different varieties. So, he launched Oysterpedia, an app that lets users learn the taste profiles of specific oysters, from beausoleil to bluepoint, and note the ones they've tried.
"I wanted [customers] to come into the Mermaid, and if there are oysters they're unfamiliar with they can learn," he says. "Or they can look back at the last time they were here to see their favorites."
The app has been a smash. It has more than 5,000 downloads, says Mr. Abrams, and he hasn't been able to measure the number of times people have used the software to share "I just had a bluepoint oyster at The Mermaid Inn" on Facebook and Twitter. He adds that diners have created a game—trying to eat their way through the app's database.
Mr. Abrams, whose three restaurants in New York served 125,000 diners last year, says that any business that isn't pursuing a mobile strategy is shortchanging itself.
"Even if only 1% of our customers download the app, it's a lot of great word of mouth," Mr. Abrams says.
But setting up mobile software can be confusing for first-timers. Here's a look at some of the biggest questions business owners may have as they try to turn an idea into an app.
Can We Do It Ourselves?
This depends on how ambitious a company is. Doing something simple, such as supplying the text of a menu, is one thing. Teaching diners about oysters, and giving them interactive options along the way, is another.
Let's assume a company has basic needs, such as letting people book appointments or get coupons. A number of firms offer templates for building and managing straightforward apps, and no programming knowledge is required.
At Bizness Apps LLC's site, for instance, an owner can start by picking an industry-specific template; there are offerings for restaurants, bars, gyms, lawyers and others. The template for restaurants offers tabs that handle common offerings such as a menu and a system for fielding reservation requests. A template for a law firm could include tabs with attorney bios, a list of services and appointment scheduling.
Even if there's no template available for a particular industry, users have options such as choosing a theme for the appearance of the app, and they can upload photos and create topic tabs with custom icons. When users are done, they can use the site to publish the app to Apple Inc. AAPL -1.34 % 's iTunes marketplace and Google Inc.'s Android marketplaces. Then they can come back to the site to edit the app's content, such as updating a gym's class schedule.
What Do Templates Cost?
Bizness Apps charges $39 a month to create and maintain an iPhone application at its site, and $59 for an Android app. (Business owners will probably want to build one of each, since apps designed for one operating system don't work for the other.)
Chicago-based Red Foundry Inc. lets owners build an app free using its templates. Users can publish the app to Apple's mobile-software marketplace on their own if they have a $99-a-year membership to Apple's developer program. Or they can allow Red Foundry to publish the app and provide performance analytics for $39 a month. The company plans to begin offering a platform for Android apps in early July.
Owners should know, though, that other charges may crop up. If they want top-quality graphics or photos in the app, for instance, they may have to hire professionals.
As for the time involved, Jim Heising, founder and chief executive of Red Foundry, says the average time for a user to create an app on the platform is six days, which includes editing images and other tasks. He estimates the actual time spent using the platform to create the app is about four hours.
Are There D.I.Y. Options Besides Templates?
Business owners with programming experience can create apps from scratch instead of using a template. That gives the owner unlimited control over the design and functions of the app and saves the recurring cost for using templates.
To use the programming languages behind the apps, owners can download software-development kits from Apple and from Android creator Google. These require some technical know-how, but both come with tips and tools. The $99 annual Apple developer membership will let users publish as many apps as they want in its marketplace. Android charges a one-time $25 developer-registration fee for publishing apps in its marketplace.
Another option: Companies like MotherApp Inc. let Web developers create apps using HTML instead of the mobile-development kits.
What Do Designers Cost?
If owners don't have the time or inclination to create an app, or want something more complex, they may want to look for help.
Specialized firms charge as much as $20,000 for design and development, and can take months to finish the job. Developers don't usually charge a recurring fee, but they can charge for updates to the app's content or for technical support.
Mr. Abrams says he spent about $10,000 on his project, including hiring app designers and a photographer. Red Foundry, for its part, charges $11,900 to build an app, which includes meeting with business owners to get them up to speed on using the Red Foundry platform to modify the app.
Still, some in the industry argue apps don't have to cost thousands of dollars. Bizness Apps, for one, charges $399 for complete setup and design of an app, in addition to the $39 monthly charge.
Any Other Caveats?
A business owner should be careful about revenue-sharing agreements. For example, a developer may build an app for a better price if the owner shares sales made through the app. Owners should calculate how much business they could be giving away if the app becomes a real sales channel.
Finally, whether owners use a designer or create the app in-house, they should gather meaningful metrics about its performance, including the number of downloads and average usage time. Developers can provide this, and some do-it-yourself services offer it also.

You won't find such a thing. Almost all onboard graphics cards, especially on consumer motherboards, only allow 2 displays even if they have the physical connections for more. Your best chance here is a graphics card, and if you're trying to stuff it in a tiny cases, chances are that's not going to happen.
There are devices that can "split" a VGA signal such that two monitors appear to be one larger monitor, which gives you a better chance, but generally quality is poor, and resolution is limited. I'd say your best hope is a USB VGA dongle, but if you're doing anything 3d, or particularly high resolution, that won't help.
Also, not a shopping guide, yadda yadda.

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Non-oral scenes may irk purists, but good WTW filler.
Craven Moorehread, Stoney Curtis' longtime second-in-command, takes the wheel in this mostly-but-not-entirely-oral series, which also has Stoney Curtis invoking Executive Producer's Privilege now and then.
Vol. 8 clocks in with an impressive 18 scenes, with an enthusiastic turn by Aurora Snow early on, Brit newbie Majella, a star turn with Nikita Denise in the middle (with her saying "Please come on my face" in that throaty voice and then licking the excess off the guy's hand after he does) and a real-world moment when Madalyn Skagg squirms away after the pop, hissing "You got it in my eyes, you fuck." Vol. 9, at 16 scenes, is also good, with scenes featuring a bleached-blonde Kelsey Heart, an Inari Vachs/Bronze twofer, newbie Faith grinning around a dick, and a closer with Calli Cox that ends with her getting fucked by the guy, taking a facial, and mockingly matching his growling as the camera fades to black. Highlights of Vol. 10's 16 offerings include scenes with the now-rare Ryan Conner, recently-enhanced Brit bad girl Layla Jade, first-timer Mary Jane, who takes the dick out of her mouth long enough to confirm that this is her first time on camera, and a barn-burner with Jewel De'Nyle and Mariah double-teaming Chris Cannon.
Non-traditional elements of scenes include stripteases, occasional pussy-rubbing and pussy-eating shots, some fucking, and shots where the guys' faces are seen. Mostly good photography (the AVN screener of Vol. 10 was a bit grainy), well-paced editing and good camera placement. Inclusion of vintage cars and anal sex make some scenes look like they may be leftovers from Curtis' Hot Bods and Tail Pipe, but that isn't a bad thing.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The film is a good-natured potpourri of gags, funny bits, populist sentiment and anti-intellectualism.
Fresh: Dangerfield seems to be setting the film's brisk pace and flawless timing himself.
Fresh: In this very funny Rodney Dangerfield comedy, there has been an important shift in Rodney's entertainment persona, a shift that has made this small film a monster hit.
Rotten: I mean no disrespect to Rodney Dangerfield in suggesting that Back to School is a comedy that belongs back on the drawing board.

Paul Charles faces murder charge after stabbing victim dies
Police say Matthew Snow died from wounds after stabbing
A man accused of stabbing two people in Boca Raton and then prompting a nearly four-hour standoff with police on Palm Beach faces an additional charge now that one of the victims has died.
Police said Paul Charles stabbed his ex-girlfriend and her current boyfriend, Matthew Snow, on March 25.
MUGSHOTS: Who Got Arrested In South Florida?
Both victims were taken to Delray Medical Center. The woman was treated and released, but Snow remained in intensive care, where he died Monday.
Now, Charles faces an upgraded charge of first-degree murder.
After the stabbing, Charles fled to Palm Beach, where he stood knee-deep in the ocean, armed with a knife and threatening to kill himself, police said.
Charles eventually threw away the knife and surrendered. Police said what may have finally convinced him to surrender were sharks in the water.

Ben Hecht once observed that "Doctors have a sense for things unseen and complications unstated." Orthopedic practitioners familiar with this fine book will, without a doubt, sharpen their senses of the possibilities (both seen and unseen), prevention, problems (both stated and unstated), and treatment of the many complications of their craft.
This second edition has added five new chapters to the 1978 text: "Complications of External Fixation," "Complications of Functional Bracing and Cast Bracing," "Complications of Microvascular Surgery," "Complications of Multiple Trauma," and "Complications of Allograft Surgery." The old chapters have been updated, new illustrations have been added, and references have been augmented. The original format of four parts has been retained. Part 1 discusses general considerations, anesthesia, traction and appliances, external fixation, cast bracing, implants, infections, and the role of secondary gain. Part 2 covers the complications of trauma; Part 3, the complications of arthroplasty and total joint replacement;

Uploading a file in a REQUEST/RESPONSE cycle for large files is not a nice experiences for the user, because the application seems to hang during the file upload. Even more critical is that the user can abort the upload, and need to re-start the upload process later.
How can I do the upload process in the background?
There are some examples of running background tasks in rails on railscasts.com but it's not clear to me how to integrate a background job with a file upload.
On other places, I see that I need some webserver tuning for this, but then I need to ask the folks from my shared host for technical support on this?

Innovations in Starch & derivatives, side stream products and emerging non-food applications Can cassava fill the global carbohydrate gap and will Indonesia rise to become a big major producer ?
Opportunities for Pea starch and derivatives
Starch is the most common form of carbohydrate in the human diet and finds endless applications in foodstuff, cosmetics, paper and, more recently, as bio - based raw materials for the chemical industry.
Is the government supporting the industry as much as in Thailand ?
Starchy foods such as potatoes, bread, cereals, rice and pasta make up about one third of the food we eat. As world population increases, the deficit in carbohydrate commodities (corn, rice, wheat, potato)becomes larger, creating opportunities for cassava.
Can cassava fill this gap and will Indonesia's cassava industry rise up and become a major producer?
It is reported that "Indonesia imported more than three million tons of cassava in 2012, and the trend seemed to be on the rise"
The Ministry of Agriculture is advising against importing cassava and identified areas suitable for the development of starch-based raw and auxiliary materials across the country.
What is the present status on the development of cassava at home ? How can Indonesia improve the quality of their cassava?
Thailand is the world's biggest exporter of starch and the world's largest producer of native tapioca starch. How can the other countries with cassava industries learn from them ?
Over in the EU, significant investments are made to produce biobased products from starch raw materials. Starch is a well-suited raw material for the sustainable use of agricultural products in the bio-based industry.
Generally the EU starch industry is made from 3 different raw materials: maize, wheat and starch potatoes. To meet the demand, the EU starch companies need to make positive and significant investments to increase production capacity .Again, how can cassava starch contribute to this gap ? Which countries are supplying cassava starch to Europe ?
Attend CMT's 3rd Starch World conference which gathers over 200 delegates from all over the world every year to discuss about issues surrounding the starch industry and the role it plays in an increasing bioeconomy.
1. World carbohydrate outlook and what is means for cassavaFollow Simon Bentley from LMC as he analyses the global carbohydrate markets, grain prices and how the shortage in carbo is creating an interest in cassava2. Can Indonesia's cassava industry rise up to the challenge ?Join PT Budi Starch & Sweeteners, one of the world's largest tapioca starch producer engaged in the production of tapioca starch, citric acid, sulphuric acid, modified tapioca starch, MSG , sweeteners and the Cassava home industry as they unravel Indonesia's cassava future, government plans to support this industry

Developing Thermoplastic Starch Materials for High-Value Sustainable ApplicationsDr James Wang, Research team leader shares development in Kimberly Clarke on the several technologies that are developing to convert starch into thermoplastic starch (TPS) for use in industrial and consumer applications.6. Last year, the value of the snack food market in Indonesia reportedly reached €800 million, with projected growth of 6% to 2017. Dominated by chips/crisps holding 18% market share, this growth is being driven by a large consumer segment that is actively seeking out new tastes and flavours.Hear from Emsland as Henk shares new potato based clean label innovations for fast growing Asian snack and snack pellet markets.7. Pea starch and derivatives (fibers) including developments in Roquette Starch activities.One of the biggest opportunities for Roquette is demand in pea-based ingredients.

"The annual production of cassava in Indonesia has reached 24.6 million tons, while domestic demand for the food commodity is 24.0 million tons." ~ according to Maman Suherman, Director for Nuts And Tuber Development Affairs, Ministry of Agriculture, Indonesia.
Indonesia has enough domestic production of cassava to meet its own needs and does not need to import the commodity. Yet, the country, reportedly, imported more than three million tons of cassava in 2012 and this seems to be increasing.
There are many challenges that force the country to import despite enough production. Although there is enough cassava production to meet domestic needs, farmers lack technical know-how on the processes of developing cassava as starch-based raw and auxiliary materials for use in various industries. Moreover, they also do not possess adequate knowledge, especially in terms of competitive pricing, land space for cassava cultivation, et al.
There are other challenges too. The Agriculture Ministry official mentioned that at times a district cultivating cassava do not have any processing industry. This leads to high production costs, chiefly transportation expenses.
The ministry has already identified areas that are suitable for development of starch-based raw and auxiliary materials. The development of home-based cassava has the potential to lower Indonesia's cassava imports; thus narrowing the trade deficit.
Adhi Lukman, Chairman of Indonesian Food and Beverage Association (Gapmmi) said that his association is keen on using domestically produced starch-based raw and auxiliary materials. He, however, pointed out that quality of production is of great importance and that farmers should focus on producing cassava that has low water and high starch content. Moreover, it is also important for producers to keep in mind that production should be steady throughout the year.
The association didn't deny the fact that they will be bound to import cassava if domestic producers do not succeed in meeting the current demands. The Chairman also stated that logistical support for cassava or other starch-based commodities needs improvement in the country.
For more updates on the imports/exports & demand/supply of cassava in Indonesia, attend 3rd Starch World in Jakarta on 17-19 February, 2014.

Researchers from Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) and China Agricultural University (CAU) have conducted a new study on Cassava or manioc (Manihot esculenta Crantz), and have come up with new ways to extract starch from cassava that can provide food to an additional 30 million people. What's interesting is that these statistics can be achieved without putting more arable land into cassava cultivation. The research estimates that if this new method is applied, food can be provided for 100 million people by 2030.
The researchers at SLU and CAU have also found in their studies that as much as 30% of dry mass is found in discarded cassava stems. In the current production value chain, these stems are considered waste and are removed from the plantations. The researchers pointed that with the help of basic water-based technologies, up to 15% of such starch stem dry weight can be extracted.
If the starch can be extracted from the stems and put to industrial use, root starch (currently used for industrial purposes) can be used for food production. This change in the value chain can provide food for millions of people in the world.
That's not all. The study also reveals that if these techniques are used, it will help in the production of biofuels such as solid fuel and biogas from the residues and processes in the extraction of stem starch.
This is a significant study on cassava as it promises to increase food and bioenergy in such a way that it contributes to sustainable development, solves issues of malnutrition and poverty globally without the need to put more land into cultivation.For more updates from the starch industry, attend 3rdStarch World in Jakarta, Indonesia on 17-18 February, 2014.

PlayStation Portable Hardware User Reviews
My Ice Silver slim PSPThe good:
-Good looking
-Good battery life (From what I've seen so far)
-Buttons feel better than the original's
-Screen looks better than the original's
-Speakers sound better and in a better position than the original's
-Glossy backSummary:
As some may recall, I couldn't decide between a silver slim, black slim, or white slim. Each had something I wanted badly. The 2 reasons I went with silver were basically 1) I liked the bundle a LOT and 2) When you buy an extended battery life kit, you only get silver and black covers, not white ones.
I must say, I couldn't be happier with it. I haven't tested out battery life yet, but I've watched about 1 1/2 hours of a UMD movie on it and battery life (Of the extended life battery) is still at 66%. Not bad at all, if I do say so myself.
Also, it is MUCH lighter than I thought it would be, y...
The reason why I bought a PSP is because I started a security job at night, the job was only for a week but it gave me a great excuse to buy a PSP.
First off I'll start with the bad about the system.
Yes, the screen is easily dirtied with finger prints. But there really is no way around that unless you make sure never ever to touch the screen.
The sensitive shoulder buttons were indeed annoying when watching a UMD. Whenever I accidentally hit off the L button the movie would skip a chapter. However that was thankfully rectified with an Update letting you turn off the shoulder buttons during UM...
PlayStation PortableThe good:
- It's fairly small and lightweight, fitting into most of your pockets.
- You can mute or turn off the LCD screen easily.
- Turns on and off fairly quick.
- Volume is good. Not too loud at the maximum.
- Memory Card is nice and small.
- Feels nice in your hands and fits comfortably.
- Internet, Videos, Photos, Music anf Games is great for this system!
- The screen or the whole system overall can be smudged with fingerprints easily.
- The battery life by hours is inaccurate.
- The earbuds that come with it are short and if you attach it to the extension, it won't be compatiable with another MP3 player.
- If put it on the "hold" button, it is slightly hard to put it back so it's not on hold without turning it off accidentally.
- The guide book annot be helpful at times, as it doesn't tell you some stuff. i.e. Where do you save your videos when using a USB Port?
- It doesn't come with a USB Port or a Memory Card Duo Reader/Writer.
- Buttons are too sensetive. You can barely touch a button and it will work.
When i got the PSP I was thrilled. I actually won it, so i was excitied. I opened it and loved the whole look about it. It felt very comfortable in my ahnds when I held it. Then I took them off, only to find dirty fingerprints on it, even though my hands were sparkly clean. I guess black shouldn't really be PSP's colour, but all PlayStations are black so I guess it had to be. Not a good choice though. All the time you see brownish white fingerprints on the black face or screen, smudges on the top. When I read the manual it made sense, but then it said I could use a USB port instead of buyin...

The faculty, staff and students of Dillard University would like to thank the greatest alumni family in the world for their support this past year!
Through your passion and dedication, our alumni participation rate was doubled from last year to this year! For the first time in nearly a decade, we can boast a 10% alumni participation rate (and rising.)
Our committed National Alumni Leadership, local chapter presidents and alumni from coast to coast and beyond, answered the call and made an amazing push in the final 48 hours to achieve this goal. Thank you #BleuPrideRising
NEW ORLEANS - Shar's Enterprise Corporation presents the stage play "The Love of a Family" during the Essence Music Festival at the Marriott Hotel at the Convention Center, 859 Convention Center Blvd. on 3:00 P.M. on July 4, 5, and 6, 2014. Directed, written and produced by Dillard University Alum Shar Sams; a twenty-three year veteran educator who has worked in all areas of the educational arena.
"The Love of a Family" features guest speakers Mary-Pat Hector, National Youth Director for National Action Network Civil Rights Organization; Overseer Ray Neal, Faith Memorial Church of the United Churches of God & Christ in Morrow, Georgia; and Praises Dancers from Greater St. Stephen Full Gospel Baptist Church, New Orleans.
"The Love of a Family" talks about the importance of loving your children. Based on a family of four; a mother, father, and a set of twins; a daughter and a son; the play takes an in depth view concerning the tribulation of parents undergoing a divorce while trying to maintain a relationship with their children.
While the children think they have the perfect family and the "most terrific" parents in the world, they are totally naive of the turmoil taking place behind closed doors with mom and dad. After 25 years of marriage, mom and dad have decided to divorce but are unsure of how to break the news to their children. They don't want their pending separation and divorce to have an adverse effect on their honor roll children in a negative way.
The problem is that both parents love their children unconditionally and they both want custody and despise having to separate them because of the divorce. Therefore, both parents mutually agreed to let the twin siblings live with their mother and have visitation rights with their father. The play dialogues about the different affects a divorce can have on each child and how family issues can extend into a child's classroom, personal friendships and relationships outside of the home. Even, if the children are raised in the same household and by the same parents. The message to remember is never forget that your sons and daughters are the future doctors, lawyers, teachers and leaders of the world.
Will the parents reconcile for the sake of their children? How will the children handle the divorce? How will the children react to their parents after finding out their parents are divorcing? Will both children mutually agree to live with the mother? Will the divorce affect the children's daily, personal, school or religious life?
"If you are looking for great entertainment, inspiration, motivation, great gospel music and a strong message that pertains to issues families face, throughout America on a daily basis? If you're wondering what really goes on behind closed doors in a classroom setting! What goes on in the mind of the so-called "At-Risk Child?" If you're wondering how a divorce can affect the entire family? Then it's a must that your entire family see "The Love of a Family!"

Hi, great plugin, for me it is the best.
I have a question:
I have created a custom post type called "hotels", and some custom fields, among which the field type "gallery".
But when I add a gallery I have sliding photos whose links are the same page where the galley is. Is there a way to delete that link or to link it to the original size of the image?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Toxic Fluoride Levels in 8 of 10 Pet Foods destroys bones and breeding programs; symptoms of fluoride poisoning and FDA warnings.
Nel Liquorman, Health Editor
June 2010 | TheDogPress
Eating their way to bone-cracking health problems, dogs ingest toxic levels of fluoride, a poisonous chemical element abundant in pet foods despite decades of damage reports.
The Environmental
Working Group (EWG), a respected
advocacy group in the USA, had testing
done by independent researchers who
found toxic fluoride levels in 8 out of
10 dog food brands. Fluoride levels ran
as high as 2.5 times the EPA's allowable
dosage in drinking water.

Out in Hollywood, Oscar nominations have been announced, and the movie about a king with a speech impediment rules.
A stuttering king and a stumbling gunslinger are among the Best Picture nominees. "The King's Speech" leads the pack with 12 nominations. The remake of "True Grit" surprised Hollywood when it grabbed 10 nods.
"The Social Network" about the founder of facebook and "The Fighter" each had eight nominations. The other Best Picture nominees: "Black Swan", "The Kids are All Right", "Inception", "Toy Story 3", "Winter's bone" and "127 Hours".
Actor James Franco will have to do some juggling Oscar night. He's the first best actor nominee in nearly 40 years to host the show, but he's got some stiff competition.
Golden Globe winner Colin Firth is up for his role in "The King's Speech." Last year's Oscar winner Jeff Bridges is nominated for "True Grit", Javier Bardem for "Biutiful" and Jesse Eisenberg for "The Social Network."
And in what could be one of the most hotly contested races, Annette Benning is nominated for "The Kids are All Right."
She faces Natalie Portman who gave a haunting performance in the psycho thriller "Black Swan."
Rounding out the category are Nicole Kidman in "Rabbit Hole", Michele Williams in "Blue Valentine" and newcomer Jennifer Lawrence in "Winter's Bone."
Actress Anne Hathaway will join James Franco in sharing hosting duties February 27 on Oscar night.
