The 2016 Sweden Review of Innovation Policy deepens the 2012 Review by focusing on six policy initiatives central to the 2008 and 2012 Swedish Research and Innovation Bills, notably: 1) the increase in funding for university research, 2) the establishment of Strategic Research Areas, 3) actions designed to enhance the role of research institutes in Sweden's innovation system, 4) the definition and funding of Strategic Innovation Areas in collaboration with industrial, academic and research institute actors, 5) the initiation of a Challenge-Driven Innovation programme addressing societal challenges, 6) improved prioritisation and support for Swedish participation in European research and innovation activities.
This report looks at farm management practices with green growth potential, from farmer-led innovations (such as those directly linked to soil and water, Integrated Pest Management, organic farming) to science-led technologies (such as biotechnology and precision agriculture). Global food demand can only be met in a sustainable way if new forms of agricultural production and innovative technologies can be unlocked to increase the productivity, stability, and resilience of production systems with goals beyond just raising yields, including saving water and energy, reducing risk, improving product quality, protecting the environment and climate change mitigation.
Nanotechnology is an emerging and promising field for advanced applications in industrial, commercial and medical sectors, and nanomaterials can be found today in sunscreens, deodorants and textiles. Yet these nanomaterials, which are increasing in number, are entering waste streams as part of end-of-life products along with conventional waste, without any real understanding of their environmental impacts or health risks on human beings and living organisms.
This report provides a literature review on four specific waste treatment processes (recycling, incineration, landfilling and wastewater treatment). While state-of-the-art waste treatment facilities may collect, divert or eliminate nanomaterials from these waste streams, the report concludes that knowledge gaps associated with their final disposal remain, underlining the need for further research in this area.
This document constitutes the report of a workshop which was held at the OECD with the purpose of both improving the general understanding of "New Plant Breeding Techniques " (and products derived through them) and sharing experiences of the environmental risk/safety assessment of these products.
A timely set of indicators that reflect the level and structure of the efforts undertaken by OECD member countries and selected non-member economies in the field of science and technology.
This document presents information on current approaches to develop or use concepts of grouping, equivalence and read-across based on physical-chemical properties (GERA-PC) of nanomaterials for their human health and ecosystem hazard assessment in regulatory regimes.
This document present the report of an expert meeting that aimed to identify the appropriate test methods for physical-chemical parameters for manufactured nanomaterials.
This document supplies basic information useful in risk/safety assessment of food and feed using new varieties of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris): background on this major legume which is grown and consumed worldwide, compositional considerations, key constituents (nutrients, anti-nutrients, and others). Constituents to be analysed are suggested. This publication is issued in the Novel Food and Feed Safety Series.
This publication is a tool for environmental safety assessment of COWPEA varieties. This grain legume is an important staple crop in (sub)tropical regions, in Africa mainly. It can be genetically-engineered for resistance to herbicides, pests or diseases. Biology elements useful to biosafety evaluation are detailed, e.g. taxonomy, cultivation, reproduction, genetics, hybridisation, ecology, common pests and pathogens.

Borderscapes by Prem Kumar Rajaram
Book DescriptionConnecting critical issues of state sovereignty with empirical concerns, Borderscapes "interrogates the limits of political space. The essays in this volume analyze everyday procedures, such as the classifying of migrants and refugees, security in European and American detention centers, and the DNA sampling of migrants in Thailand, showing the border as a moral construct rich with panic, danger, and patriotism. Conceptualizing such places as immigration detention camps and refugee camps as areas of political contestation, this work forcefully argues that borders and migration are, ultimately, inextricable from questions of justice and its limits.

Through consultations with the industry, our R&D department has been able to enhance transmitter signal performance.
Wavetrak offers a switchable transmitter that can be used in pulse or continuous modes. Coded pig tracking transmitters and receivers allow tracking of mutiple transmitting devices with a single Wavetrak Receiver. more on coded transmitters
Wavetrak is an industry leader who is competitively priced and strives to work with our clients to meet their requirements within their budget. For more information or a quote please give us a call or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com
Wavetrak receivers are very sensitive to even weak signals. The display includes both an analog meter and a digital LED light bar to provide an easy way to view signal strength. The feature a backlit panel which lights up when ambient light levels are low, making it easy to see in any lighting condition. Digital detection and AC hum rejection circuitry provide good noise rejection even in noisy electrical environments.
Our coded transmitters and receivers allow tracking of mutiple devices with a single receiver!
WT-RC-Ex model receivers are made out of a light and durable aluminum frame, have a high impact ABS-M30 handle, and polycarbonate internals. Completely sealed, they are waterproof. They feature 200 hours of continuous operation on one set of batteries (8 x C Cell Alkaline) – dependant on use of optional external strobe, backlight, and signal detection. They are small, and easy to handle, even with one hand.
Included with a receiver kit, and also available as additional accessories are a nylon case, an external antenna, an extension cable, and a hard sided carrying case. Receivers come strobe-equipped, out of the box. This allows an optional external strobe light (purchased separately from the kit) to be plugged into the receiver. This light is triggered by the signal detection of the receiver and serves to alert the operator remotely that a transmitter has been detected. Additional strobe lights can also be ordered as accessories. (Strobe light will not be IECEx certified).
The WT-RC-Ex model receivers also feature push button gain controls, low battery warning, and a buzzer switch to silence the detection tone.
Wavetrak is currently working to certify all Ex model transmitters under the IECEx explosion proof standard.

Unique to the Wavetrak product line are coded transmitters and receivers. Using a coded transmitter and a coded receiver model, this system allows the operator to distinguish between up to 5 different transmitters in one train (Standard 22 Hz, Continuous 22 Hz, and Codes A, B and C).
Nearly all transmitter models are available in either a standard 22 Hz pulse mode, continuous 22 Hz mode, or one of 3 codes (A, B or C). The coded model transmitters also emit a standard 22 Hz tone along with their code to ensure that they can be tracked with either a Wavetrak standard receiver, or other existing receiver products on the market. However, using a Wavetrak WT06C coded receiver allows the operator to identify which pig he is tracking by displaying the code of the transmitter he is receiving.
Wavetrak Electronics' patented construction allows for a stronger signal from a smaller transmitter. All transmitters are powered by easy to replace standard size alkaline batteries, and are built using tough stainless steel housings.
Transmitters can be built on request to meet a specific signal strength or battery life requirement, as well as to accommodate lithium (3.6V) batteries.
Ex Model Transmitters are more durable and can withstand more pressure (2500 psi) than previous models. Also available are tough Delrin cans which serve as additional sealing and protection for the transmitter and are recommended in most pipeline applications.
Temperature ranges are generally limited by the operating specifications of the batteries used. Sealing o-rings are Viton 90 standard sized o-rings and should be replaced after each use. Some previous non-Ex models are still available on request.
Wavetrak is currently working to certify all Ex model transmitters under the IECEx explosion proof standard.

Dancing on the Edge began with a tracking shot from a different kind of fiction entirely, a top-hatted and caped figure advancing in front of the camera through dark London streets. From behind, this is a silhouette of mastery, moving with an assured steadiness. He looks a little predatory even. But Louis isn't the hunter, he's the hunted. "I need you to get me out of the country, Stanley," he says, once he's found the man he's looking for. Stanley appears to agree. "We need a plan, don't we, Louis... we can't have you being caught."
What Louis has done – or been accused of doing – is teasingly being withheld for later because Stephen Poliakoff turns back first of all to 18 months earlier, when Louis is still a struggling jazz musician, staving off the deportation of his American band with a string of short-term gigs, and Stanley is an ambitious young hack at The Music Express, on the lookout for the next big sound, and indifferent to the borderline between journalism and management. Do we like Stanley? Not entirely sure yet, to be honest. But he's the kind of person you stick to because he knows where the best parties are likely to be.
Poliakoff has turned back quite a lot in his recent drama and it's often been to this period – a lull between catastrophes during which it was possible to believe that another catastrophe would never come. But Poliakoff also likes the intersections between tectonic plates, places where the continents grind and slip one another, and the nightclubs of the Thirties are ideal for that. Among other things (a lot of them in fact), Dancing on the Edge is a drama about social wanderlust – poor people longing to get rich and rich people who suspect that poor people might actually be having a better time than they are.
Stanley arranges a residency at a London hotel for Louis and his band, an arrangement that begins unpromisingly. Both guests and management are dubious about the music, even more so about the black musicians. But after they've added some singers to the line-up they start to acquire influential fans. A junior royal drops in one night and signals his approval. And an impulsive American millionaire, Masterson (played by John Goodman), takes them up as a new toy. A substantial chunk of last night's opening episode was taken up with one of those slightly fantastical idylls that Poliakoff is fond of – an extended "picnic" on a private train, full of insinuation, sexual possibility and odd, suspended moments of beauty.
There's a lot to keep track of right now – what with racism, xenophobia, elite conspiracy and characters who are almost self-consciously enigmatic. But Chiwetel Ejiofor and Matthew Goode are excellent as Louis and Stanley, and it looks and sounds gorgeous. Possibly just a little too gorgeous in fact. Self-indulgence can actually be a good quality in a writer, since it allows him or her to get at things that a more strictly policed imagination might not. But it helps to have a stern editor as backstop, and Poliakoff's complete control here – as writer-director – means that some scenes have a glossy fashion-plate inertia to them, as if the drama has stopped in its tracks to admire just how marvellous it all looks. It may acquire a bit of needed briskness in tonight's hour-long episode, but this was easily seductive enough to make you want to check.
Being Eileen is a spin-off of Michael Wynne's Christmas drama Lapland, about a Merseyside family finding healing and reconciliation on a Christmas jolly. Now it's been more tightly focused on Sue Johnston's character, a widow wistfully hankering after some grander meaning in life. It's all right, I guess, if effortful implausibilities for comic effect aren't a deal-breaker for you. But I'm not quite sure why the spinning off was felt to be necessary.

ISC Begins BIND 10 Development
After 10 years the industry-independent Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) is embarking on a completely new BIND implementation with BIND 10. Its patrons and sponsors should ensure that the market leader in DNS implementation is more secure, flexible and highly scalable, although developers are keeping the details close to their chests at present.
Admins have always had a mixed relationship with BIND. Although it has a DNS nameserver market share of almost 75% worldwide, its configuration has proven to be somewhat tedious and difficult when it comes to high availability. ISC president and DNS maven Paul Vixie feels that this should soon change with the help of its dozen or so patrons and sponsors among domain registries. The nonprofit organization can then focus on developing BIND 10 under a BSD-like ISC license based on their financing.
Even with full details on BIND 10 missing, ISC sketched out some cornerstones of its design. One among them is that BIND 10 will support DNSSEC. Many security experts called for higher security measures as a critical Internet infrastructure for DNS after they publicized holes in the protocol.
BIND 10 should undergo some modularization to provide more interfaces, including to background query databases. It will also provide new forms of interaction with monitoring and configuration environments, enabling a closer coupling between DNS and DHCP servers to allow not only IP address but also hostname allocations. One thing where developers agree is that BIND 9 left too many opportunities for DoS attacks by dumping and exiting on the slightest error. BIND 10 will use reset-and-continue as the normal response to attacks instead.

text: 000 FXUS63 KDLH 210956 AFDDLH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Duluth MN 356 AM CST Tue Feb 21 2017 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Wednesday) Issued at 352 AM CST Tue Feb 21 2017 Sfc high pressure ridge is currently moving to the east, with the axis over eastern North Dakota/western Minnesota border, which will eventually advance over the Northland this morning. Areas of fog are expected to expand eastward across the Northland due to weakening winds along the sfc ridge axis. There is a low-level stratus cloud deck overhead this morning, which has been holding strong this morning. There does appear to be some breaks in the stratus near the Brainerd Lakes area, where some denser fog down to 1/4SM has developed as indicated by sfc observations near Staples and Park Rapids. Less dense fog has already developed near the Brainerd Lakes region, but hasn`t reached dense fog criteria yet, although 1/2SM was being reported at Pine River at 3:30 AM CST. A Dense Fog Advisory may be needed for these areas this morning. Otherwise, mostly dry conditions are expected for today as the high pressure ridge advances through the region. The stratus deck looks to hang tough through the morning hours before lifting a bit, and partly to mostly sunny skies are expected for the afternoon. There is a small chance of a rain shower along the International Border as a weak mid-level shortwave translates along this area. Then, better chances of precipitation will develop along our northern counties Tuesday night/Wednesday morning as a more robust mid-level shortwave develops out of the Intermountain West states and into northern Minnesota. Thaler QG analysis shows decent 850-300 mb mean layer isentropic lift, along with a moistening profile as indicated by GFS/NAM model soundings. Bumped up the POPs from the previous forecast as synoptic models are showing better lift with this system. Precipitation types look to be mostly rain at first before transitioning to a wintry mix Wednesday morning. A trailing stream of positive vorticity advection behind the leading shortwave, along with an associated sfc cold front boundary, will slowly translate southeast, and chances of precipitation will follow suit. Any wintry mix that develops should become all rain during the day Wednesday as the thermal profile warms, but chances of wintry mix return Wednesday night as the cold front passes. Total snow accumulation through Wednesday night is expected to be low - with only up to 1 inch of accumulation possible, with perhaps slightly higher amounts over the Minnesota Arrowhead region. Temperatures today and Wednesday will continue to be well above normal, with highs in the mid 40s into the 50s today, with a cooling trend starting Wednesday, with highs in the lower 40s north and the lower 50s south. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Monday) Issued at 352 AM CST Tue Feb 21 2017 The surface low center moves to the eastern Great Lakes Wednesday night. This will bring an end to the precipitation from west to east. A mix of rain and/or snow will be the main p-type before changing to all snow late as colder air is pulled into the area from Canada. High pressure builds in behind the departing system for Thursday. The models continue to struggle with the system due to affect the area Thursday night through Friday night. The GFS has flopped over to yesterdays ECMWF solution with a farther northwest track of the surface low, while the latest ECMWF solution is now reflecting what the GFS has had for the surface low location the last few days. The latest run of the GEM is now leaning toward the ECMWF. Due to this flip flop, will continue to run with a blend of models. Some snow is expected to affect all but the International Falls area. The highest snow amounts will be in northwest Wisconsin with lighter amounts in northeast Minnesota. With this model variability, will leave out any numbers for snow amounts for now. The model differences continue on Saturday and have used a blended approach for pops. An upper level trof will swing through the region Saturday night with an attendant cold front. Some snow showers will accompany the front. Cold air advection behind the front and a northwest wind over Lake Superior will lead to lake effect snow showers along the higher terrain of northwest Wisconsin through Sunday night. High pressure covers the region during this time and lasts into Monday. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday night) Issued at 1131 PM CST Mon Feb 20 2017 A cool front will finish moving through northeast Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin through the wee hours of the morning. Expect widespread IFR ceilings to linger through the wee hours of the morning. Visibility will likely not be much of a concern for a while overnight because of the 5 to 15 knot westerly flow. However, expect lowering ceilings and visibilities later tonight and around dawn Tuesday when the winds weaken with an approaching surface ridge from the west. Areas of fog will likely develop by dawn, especially for the KBRD area. Widespread LIFR/IFR conditions around and shortly after dawn should transition back to VFR by later morning or around noon as the fog lifts and breaks up. Then VFR is expected for the rest of the day. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

An Introduction to Quantum Game Theory
This free, online textbook "gives a self-contained introduction to quantum game theory, and is primarily oriented to economists with little or no acquaintance with quantum mechanics. It assumes little more than a basic knowledge of vector algebra. Quantum mechanical notation and results are introduced as needed. It is also shown that some fundamental problems of quantum mechanics can be formulated as games."

Atmospheric Pressure
Definition - What does Atmospheric Pressure mean?
Atmospheric Pressure is the pressure exerted by the weight of air in the earth's atmosphere. In most cases, the pressure can be approximated closely by hydrostatic pressure caused by weight of the air above the measurement point. In the case of molecules, if the numbers of the air molecules increase above the surface, many molecules exert force on the surface and as a result, the pressure increases. The reduction of the air molecules above the surface will decrease the pressure. Atmospheric Pressure can be measured by an instrument known as a barometer.
Petropedia explains Atmospheric Pressure
Air present in the environment has weight that presses everything it touches. This pressure is known as Atmospheric Pressure. It is a force applied on any surface by air above it as the gravity pulls it to the Earth. A barometer is used to measure the pressure. The barometer has a column of mercury in glass tube which falls or rises as the pressure of the atmosphere changes. This pressure decreases with an increase in altitude. When the pressure decreases, the available oxygen amount for breathing also decreases. At areas with very high altitudes, the pressure and oxygen amount decreases to an extent that people become sick and sometimes even die.
The Atmospheric Pressure is also considered as an indicator of the weather. When low-pressure system travels to an area, it results in wind, cloudiness and precipitation. The area with high-pressure will have calm and fair weather.

His playing pomp was spent in the English top division with West Bromwich Albion, for whom he preserved a clean sheet in their single-goal FA Cup final victory over Everton in 1968. But the tall, rather spidery Osborne's athletic exploits between the posts accounted for only part of his appeal to fans of the Baggies. Equally important was his engaging, outgoing personality which ensured a warm rapport with paying customers at the Hawthorns, even when the side was struggling.
Osborne spent his formative years as an outfielder, winning England schoolboy honours as a wing-half and being converted into a keeper only in his late teens. His first professional club was Chesterfield - traditional nurturers of goalkeeping talent - and Osborne achieved more than a century of appearances for the Spireites before joining Albion for pounds 10,000 in January 1967.
Instantly installed as first choice, Osborne emerged as an agile shot- stopper, a generally reliable claimer of crosses and a courageous diver at feet, who was blessed with a shrewd positional sense and who radiated confidence. For several seasons, under the enterprising management of Alan Ashman, he was part of a compact, attractive team which held their own in the middle reaches of the old first division and reached Wembley for a second time in 1970, when they lost the league cup final to Manchester City.
Thereafter Osborne suffered injuries - he was dubbed "the bionic goalkeeper" after a plastic joint was inserted into a finger - and he lost his place intermittently, even retiring briefly in 1972. After a few months he returned to the Hawthorns, but was unable to prevent Albion's relegation to the second division in 1973. After languishing for a term in Peter Latchford's shadow he recovered his berth and starred in a revived side which, now guided by Jonny Giles, regained a place among the elite in 1976.
When Osborne left full-time football - aged 37 in 1978, after 312 senior outings for the Baggies - many believed he would pursue a career in the media, for which he had apparently paved the way by excelling on the television show Quiz Ball in 1969/70 and then hosting his own local radio programme. Instead he opted to work in the promotions department of a local newspaper, and then became commercial manager of Worcestershire County Cricket Club.
John Osborne, footballer: born Barlborough, Derbyshire 1 December 1940; played for Chesterfield 1960-67, West Bromwich Albion 1967-72, 1973-78, Walsall on loan 1973; married (two children); died Evesham, Worcestershire 7 November 1998.

International Women's Day
The official United Nations theme for International Women's Day in 2016 is Planet 50-50 by 2030: Step It Up for Gender Equality. The UN observance on 8 March will reflect on how to accelerate and build momentum for the effective implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It will equally focus on new commitments under UN Women's Step It Up initiative, and other existing commitments on gender equality, women's empowerment and women's human rights.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
Building on the success of the Millennium Development Goals and adopted by 193 Member States in 2015, Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development sets out 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty and promote shared economic prosperity, social development and environmental protection by 2030, and categorically affirms: "The achievement of full human potential and of sustainable development is not possible if one half of humanity continues to be denied its full human rights and opportunities." Vigorously advocated for by UN Women, civil society and other partners, the agenda includes a transformative stand-alone goal on gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls as well as gender-sensitive targets in 11 other goals.
UN Women's Step It Up initiative
UN Women's initiative Planet 50–50 by 2030: Step It Up for Gender Equality Step It Up asks governments to make and follow through with national commitments to address the challenges that are holding women and girls back from reaching their full potential. As of February 2016, more than 90 concrete government commitments and firm pledges have been made to overcome gender equality gaps at, and since, a historic event — the Global Leaders' Meeting on Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment: A Commitment to Action co-hosted by UN Women and the People's Republic of China — in September 2015.
UN commemoration event
The official UN commemoration for IWD took place in the Trusteeship Council at the UN Secretariat in New York City from 10 a.m. to 12.45 p.m EST. It consisted of a series of musical performances and two panel discussions. The first, from 10-11:15 a.m., reflected on what a gender-equal planet means and how to achieve it by 2030 by joining the efforts of the United Nations, governments, civil society and the private sector. For the second panel, entitled "The Push for Parity", panelists probed the progress made in achieving gender equality in the UN system, examined the challenges remaining and unpacked how to mainstream gender perspectives from 11.15 a.m. to 12.45 p.m. See flyer »

Question: What is the Choking Game and how can I talk to my tween about it?

Answer: The choking game is a dangerous practice of tweens and teens in which they self-strangulate in order to achieve a brief high. The high is the result of oxygen rushing back to the brain after it's cut off by the practice of strangulation.

The choking game (also known as Space Monkey) is very dangerous and can easily lead to accidental death. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), there were more than 80 deaths due to self-strangulation in children aged 6 to 19 from 1995-2007. Boys are more likely to die from the choking game, but the behavior is a danger to both boys and girls.

In order to achieve a high, children may use ropes, scarves, or other items to strangle themselves, either alone or within a group.

According to the CDC, children who participate in the choking game may exhibit the following symptoms or behaviors:

Marks or bruises on the neck

Bloodshot eyes

Wearing clothing that covers the neck, even in warm weather

Confusion or disorientation after being alone for a period of time

The presence of unusual items such as dog leashes, ropes, scarves, bungee cords, and belts

Severe headaches, often frequent

Secretive behavior, irritability, hostility

Bleeding under the skin of the face and eyelids

Other signs may include:

Wear marks on furniture (bed posts, door knobs, etc.)

Linens or ropes tied around door knobs or furniture

The frequent need for privacy

The choking game is also known as pass-out game, space monkey, the fainting game, scarf game, space cowboy, California choke, the dream game, cloud nine, and purple hazing.

If you suspect your child has engaged in this dangerous behavior, or if you hear that children at your child's school have engaged in this practice, you need to take quick action. Talk to your child about the real dangers of the choking game, including death, coma, possible brain damage. broken bones, and hemorrhages of the eye. Also, be sure there isn't anything going in with your tween that could cause depression, anxiety or desperate practices like the choking game. Try to get to the root of your child's problems, and if necessary, enlist the help of a professional counselor. In addition, alert your child's school and other parents should you discover that children in your area are in danger of engaging in the choking game. Above all, help your tween learn how to resist peer pressure, enjoy interests and passions and make sure your tween understands that you are always available to talk should your tween need a good listener.

International arbitration and interim applications: jurisdictional issues - .PDF file.
International arbitrations often involve parties resident in jurisdictions that are not the same as the seat of the arbitration. In U&M Mining Zambia Ltd v Konkola Copper Mines plc [2013] EWHC 260 (Comm), the Commercial Court considered whether only the courts at the seat of an arbitration can grant interim measures before the appointment of the arbitral tribunal, or if a party may apply to courts in other countries. Although the facts of the case meant that it was not necessary for the court to reach a decision on this issue, the case contains a helpful summary of the case law on this point, upon which there remains no authority.

I wonder why live chess rating cannot be seen in percentile as well, like it can be seen for online chess.
This is something i have been wondering. its always nice to know where you are so to speak. i am not claiming to be top 10% or anything but i would like to know where i am.
It is available on your full stats page. I don't know why one's online chess percentile is shown even outside that page and the live ones aren't, though.
Is that the same as Live Standard Chess Stats? I still don't have any rankings or percentiles on that page. I must be missing something.
As much activity happens in the live area, especially in bullet, I'm guessing a person's comparative ranking or percentile could change so quickly since it is based on comparisons. In a split second, there could be many games finishing, making it difficult for even a very fast computer to give an accurate percentile ranking or true # ranking. That's just my guess. If that's the case, I'm guessing an estimated percentile or true rank could be determined at a certain time of day and not take a super computer to process it.
That makes sense. I can see the overall distribution by looking at 'view players' in Live Chess. Not sure how often that is updated or how much it moves (very little I'd think) but it gives one an idea of how they compare.

That's actually true, neither your stat page or mine shows a percentile (or rank) for standard live. Then again if you look at my stats page, you should see that I do have a percentile (and rank) for both live blitz and bullet. So I don't know why standard doesn't have it similarly. My first guess was that it's due to inactivity (on my part), but clearly that can't be the case for you.

By Nick Stellino
"When Italians talk about food, we are talking about our souls."—Nick Stellino
It was his passion to become a cook that led Nick Stellino to leave his career as a stockbroker and start at the bottom of the restaurant chain as a dishwasher. This same passion has taken Stellino from that $5.00 an hour job (which he paid to the owner!) to being one of America's most popular television chefs and celebrated cookbook authors. In his newest cookbook, Nick Stellino's Passione: Pasta, Pizza, and Panini, his love for all things Italian has the personable Stellino revisiting some of Italy's best loved foods—and the results are simply irresistible.
Advising the reader to "cook with a smile in your heart," Stellino approaches cooking with a sense of adventure, love, and, of course, fun. Every recipe in Passione resounds with the sheer enjoyment of preparing a delicious meal for loved ones and friends. From lasagne and tortellini to paparadelle and ravioli, Stellino's offers enticing pasta dishes that hail from the shores of the Mediterranean to the homes of the United States. Whether thin or thick crust, baked, fried or stuffed, pizza by its very nature, is a food to be shared. Stellino shares regional Italian renditions—as well as his own delectable variations—while proving that a quick snack or an elegant meal can be as easy as pie. Finally, panini (from the Italian panino for "little bread") are sandwiches that can be enjoyed for picnics, lunches, and casual get-togethers.
But whatever the occasion, the dishes in Passione will tantalize, inspire, and satisfy. From dry pastas to fresh pastas, the traditional and innovative are side by side. Simple and comforting, or sumptuous and sophisticated, Baked Pasta with Sausage and Zucchini, Meat Tonellini with Garlic and Cream Sauce, and Pasta Medallions with Wild Mushrooms and Truffle are all easy to prepare and a joy to eat. Then there are gnocchi—one of Stellino's favorite dishes. In fact, it is a special goal of his book to bring the special appeal of gnocchi to the reader. One taste of the feather-light Ricotta and Spinach Gnocchi or the hearty Gnocchi with Arriminata Sauce is bound to garner disciples.
One of America's favorite foods, pizza hardly needs any disciples. Still, Braised Pepper Pizza and Pizza with Caramelized Onions, Roasted Garlic, Prosciutto, and Gorgonzola will keep the legions of pizza lovers satisfied. Enthusiasts will also welcome the not-so-familiar: Fried Pizza Dumplings Stuffed with Meat Sauce and Stuffed Pizza Rounds with Salami and Mushrooms. Meanwhile, sandwiches become an art form in the hands of Stellino. If Lamb Meatball Sandwiches with Minted Tomato Sauce and Portobello Mushroom and Cheese Sandwiches are a far cry from standard deli fare, Stellino deftly turns an American classic into a culinary triumph with his own Hamburgers Italiano.
As always, Stellino offers sage advice and practical cooking techniques. A gifted storyteller, he also shares his personal anecdotes about his family and his love for good times and good food. In a word, Nick Stellino indulges the reader in his passione!
Nick Stellino is the author of Cucina Amore, Nick Stellino's Glorious Italian Cooking, Nick Stellino's Mediterranean Flavors, and Nick Stellino's Family Kitchen. He has appeared on many local and national television and radio shows including The Oprah Winfrey Show, Today and CBS Saturday Morning. The host of more than 150 shows on public television's Cucina Amore, his Nick Stellino's Family Kitchen was launched on PBS in September. Stellino will be available for print and radio interviews nationwide, and he will be touring nationally in the spring of 2001.

A "gold age power list" of the country's most influential pensioners has been published. The list – which includes The Queen, 85, Sir Alex Ferguson, 70, and Sir Mick Jagger, 67 – aims to challenge stereotypes and misconceptions about older people. It was compiled by the charity WRVS, which said the UK's ageing population was too often seen as a "looming disaster" and a "drain on society".
Other names on the list of 66 men and women aged over 66 include the writer Doris Lessing, 92; Glastonbury festival founder Michael Eavis, 75; and scientist Richard Dawkins, 70.
Pensioners judged to be at the top of their field included the author Diana Athill, 93, who won the Costa Biography prize in 2009; the cookery book writer Delia Smith, 69; Michael Palin, 68, who became president of the Royal Geographic Society in 2009; and Sir David Attenborough, 85.

A school has had to cough up $10,000 for hurting the feelings of a weirdo. The last line in the article describes him "as a bit of a free spirit".
Creepy would be more accurate:
An "intensely intellectual" man who lived in a camouflaged van on school grounds has been awarded $10,000 in damages after he was moved on by police.
Friedrich Fehling was staying in his van parked on South Westland Area School's grounds when he was given a trespass order in January 2009.
After a three-year battle with the Hari Hari school, Fehling was last month awarded $10,000 in damages by the Human Rights Review Tribunal for hurt feelings and loss of dignity.
The school said people felt intimidated by Fehling's presence near the school, but the tribunal found there was no evidence of a threat.
Fehling's van was parked by the school swimming pool on land leased by the school to one of its employees and Fehling's friend, senior teacher Jim Costello.
Fehling had permission to keep his van on the land.
The tribunal found that Fehling's feelings and dignity were hurt by the trespass notice.
"The stigma of being banned from the school premises for two years reinforced the hostility and suspicion with which he was being regarded by some in that community," it said.
"The unsavoury connotation that users of the pool, particularly young children using the showers and toilets, were unsafe because of his presence has been particularly humiliating and injurious to Mr Fehling's feelings and there has been a loss of dignity."
