Trends in the Potential for Environmental Risk from Pesticide Loss from Farm Fields
Robert L. Kellogg, Natural
Resources Conservation Service, USDA
Environmental indicators of the potential for pesticide leaching and runoff from farm fields were constructed to provide policy makers and national program managers with information to help assess whether existing programs and policies have been effective in reducing externalities from agricultural activities.
Twelve pesticide-related time series were estimated for 1972 through 1997 for watersheds at the 6-digit Hydrologic Unit level:
A model was constructed to estimate pesticide loss from farm fields using the following data and information:
The National Pesticide Loss Database was used as the basis for all but the time series for pounds applied. The National Pesticide Loss Database provides estimates of the 95th percentile of annual mass loss and concentrations at the bottom of the root zone and the edge of the field for 120 soils, 55 climate stations, and 243 pesticides. Separate estimates are available for irrigated and nonirrigated conditions. Pesticide leaching and runoff losses were estimated using the pesticide fate and transport model GLEAMS. GLEAMS is a process model that uses as inputs soil parameters, field characteristics, management practices, pesticide properties, and climate to estimate pesticide leaching and runoff losses. (For additional details on the National Pesticide Loss Database, see "The National Pesticide Loss Database: A Tool for Management of Large Watersheds.")
The analytical framework consists of about 5,000 resource polygons representing the intersection of 48 states, 280 watersheds at the 6-digit Hydrologic Unit level, and 1,400 combinations of climate and soil groups. Seven crops are currently included in the analysis: corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton, sorghum, barley, and rice. A total of 94 pesticides were included in estimates for 1972-86, and up to 192 pesticides were included in estimates for 1987-97. The framework was constructed using the NRI after imputing the pesticide loss data onto NRI sample points by crop, soil group, and climate group. Concentration and mass loss estimates in the National Pesticide Loss Database are relative to application rates so that, when multiplied by application rates specific to crops and states, the final estimate of the annual concentration or mass loss is obtained. Estimates of pounds of pesticides applied, mass loss, and annual concentrations were obtained for pesticides used on the 7 crops in each of the 5,000 resource polygons for each of the 26 years.
On average, 75 percent of the cultivated cropland in the 48 states was incorporated into the simulation. Map 1 and map 2 show the spatial distribution of the approximate coverage for 1982 and 1992.
(Note on the map legends: In the process of converting maps to the World Wide Web the legends on certain maps became unreadable due to their small size. As a temporary solution the legends are presented in a separate file until we can update the maps. Simply look up the map number to find the appropriate legend.)
Environmental risk was assessed using Threshold Exceedence Units (TEUs), which measure the extent that the annual concentration exceeds a water quality threshold. For each pesticide used in each of the 5,000 resource polygons, the threshold-concentration ratio was calculated. Where the threshold concentration was exceeded, the ratio was multiplied by the acres treated to obtain estimates of Threshold Exceedence Units (TEUs). Acres treated were estimated for each resource polygon using acres-planted data and state-level estimates of the percentage of acres treated derived from the Doane and NASS survey databases. Thus, TEUs account for the amount the threshold was exceeded and the amount of acres treated in an area. TEUs were derived in this manner specifically for the purpose of comparing risk from multiple pesticides over space and time. They are a relative measure of risk (the higher the TEU score, the higher the risk), but do not measure absolute levels of risk. (TEUs are similar in concept to the acre-feet volumetric measure, since they are a multiple of acres times a measure of magnitude at a point.) TEUs per watershed were obtained by summing TEUs over all pesticides used in each resource polygon, then summing over all resource polygons in each watershed. (For information about another application using TEUs, see "An Information Aid for Assessing Possible NRCS Involvement in the State Management Plan Process for Regulation of Pesticides.")
The estimated indexes of potential risk change over space and time because of: 1) changes in acres planted, 2) changes in percent acres treated, and 3) changes in the suite of pesticides used, and 4) changes in application rates of the more mobile and/or persistent pesticides on vulnerable acres. The estimated indexes are based on national-level databases, and so caution should be exercised in making local interpretations. Management factors are not included in the indicators.
The algorithm for the potential risk index is:
The 8 pesticide risk indexes indicate that the Nation's pesticide policies during the last twenty six years have succeeded in reducing overall environmental risk, in spite of slight increases in acres planted and pounds of pesticides applied. Nevertheless, there are still areas of the country where there is no evidence of progress, and areas where risk levels for protection of drinking water, fish, algae and crustaceans remain high. Observations supporting this conclusion are:
The authors plan to extend the indexes to include additional crops in the future, but including additional crops is unlikely to alter the broad trends shown here because of the small acreage involved.

Is it possible to squeeze Dublin into five experiences? Of course not. But don't let that stop you trying. Get ready for an unforgettable city break
The Little Museum of Dublin is David to the National Museum's Goliath, a miniature marvel telling the story of city through joyfully eclectic exhibits (a signed U2 album, an old bus ticket machine, a facsimile of James Joyce's death mask). There's a reboot of a traditional Irish kitchen in the basement, too. Hatch & Sons does heart-warming all-day breakfasts, with 21st century takes on classics, such as Beef & Guinness stew. All this mouthwatering food in a basement that could have been airlifted straight from Downton Abbey.
It's fresh and it's funky. It's lo-fi and high on flavour. It's Skinflint, and it's gonna push every last pizza button in your body. The pies are long, thin and delicious – and they're named after the staff's mums (aww...). Is yours a Sadie (roast garlic confit, toasted hazelnuts, spinach) or a Tess (pulled pork, fennel seeds, braised fennel and mascarpone)? A Gráinne or a Vonnie? Hit up #tweetseats on Twitter – it's a lottery for free eats.
You can tour Dublin on foot, by bike, bus, car or coach. Or you could think different and connect with the good folk at City Kayaking. You'll find them by the Jeanie Johnson tall ship – this is the only kayaking operation in the city centre, and it offers the chance to explore the River Liffey, its bridges and Dublin's iconic sights from an entirely different angle. Don't want the full tour? No worries. Rentals are an option, too.
Dublin's museums and galleries may be home to priceless treasures, but most are absolutely free to visit. For a quick fix with a difference, step out of the tourist throngs and into the Temple Bar Gallery & Studios. This cool little cube specialises in cutting-edge visual art, and a few minutes is all it takes to immerse yourself in its ideas. Afterwards, rejoin the world with a new perspective and a pep in your step. .

The Gravity Bar is like a bird's nest, with views stretching from Dublin's city skyline to the coast and mountains beyond. Best of all, it's perched on top of the Guinness Storehouse. Yup, that's seven storeys devoted to the world's most famous stout, and you can even learn how to pull the perfect pint along the way. Cheers!

H.R. 3012, The Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act
- This item is from the 112th Congress (2011-2012) and is no longer current. Comments, voting, and wiki editing have been disabled, and the cost/savings estimate has been frozen.
Version saved on January 24, 2012, 06:37:03, by webmaster:
H.R. 3012 would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to eliminate the per-country numerical limitation for employment-based immigrants, to increase the per-country numerical limitation for family-sponsored immigrants.
Detailed Summary
(Log in to edit the wiki and be the first to provide a detailed summary of the bill!)
Status of the Legislation
Latest Major Action: 1/23/2012: Read the second time. Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 293.
Points in Favor
1. Country of Birth has no place in skills-based immigration. There is a diversity visa
category for that which explicitly disallows China, India etc...
2. America is the LAND OF THE FREE, HOME OF THE BRAVE. Expecting an employees loyalty for
2-3 years in exchange for sponsorship is one thing. Expecting the same for 20-30 years is
only a shade away from indentured servitude and downright slavery. It is not who we are !
3. America needs these High-skilled Immigrants as much as they need us. We need the tax dollars to pay for our retirement, social security, medicare and medicaid. If the majority
of these immigrants are from China and India - these are fast growing MAJOR economies. many
of them can do just as well back home. when that happens AMERICA LOSES.
4. It is time we stopped treating the legal tax-paying immigrants worse than we treat illegal immigrants! These people make an important contribution to society and america - Think Jerry Yang Sergey Brin etc...
Points Against
1. Provides a small relief to backlog (a few years from decades) for India, China, and other countries in the bill while significantly increasing the wait time for the rest of the world.
2. All unused green card numbers from other countries' quotas are already allocated to the countries that are over their quota, each year.
3. Has nothing to do with fairness. Immigration is a privilege, not a birthright, US can institute policies on immigration that it deems beneficial to its interests. While it can be argued that having more highly skilled immigrants is in the best interest of the country, it cannot be logically argued that having more skilled immigrants from India, China, or Mexico will be MORE beneficial to US compared to immigrants from other countries. The selection process to determine the "high" skill of the applicants is same for all applicants regardless of their country of origin. The reason for the per country limit was to keep diversity in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics fields and to encourage immigrants from smaller countries to become permanent residents as well rather than having individuals from one or few countries dominate the STEM
4. The passage of this bill will significantly increase the wait time of Skilled immigrants from countries other than India and China which is not fair. When we are talking fairness we should eliminate a potential problem and not shift the problem from one group of people to other.

This Bill is about one thing as the name says: FAIRNESS
And the best part is this DOES NOT increase any immigration, just being fair to folks who came here first, overriding an archaic and discriminating quota by country of origin, which would make sense for Family based, but is obsolete for Employment based. There are folks waiting already for 13 years, and who start now, may have to wait for upto 70 years.
Be Fair. SUPPORT This Bill.

Employment based immigration should only be based upon merit and not diversity. Also, the current law doesn't really achieve the diversity anyways. It's common sense that first-come-first-serve is the only fair thing to do.

This bill is all about Fairness. no doubt. I am here since 10 years paying my taxes and dues. still waiting for green card. Where as the lottery system giving away 65000 visas a year. And none of em paid even a single dollar in past 10 years.
I support this bill because this is designed for real immigrants.

It is all about fairness. USA is a land of Immigrants. Legal Immigrants pay their fair share of taxes, contribute to the economic system of this country and yet are given the boot when it comes to legal immigration.
On the contrary, all talks are aimed at illegal immigration and granting of asylum to people who are in the country illegally.
Why this indifference????

A lot of hard working immigrant are not only helping the local economies, but are also helping corporates compete in the new economy. It's only fair to give them a chance to get a green card in some real reasonable time frame. We are not realizing that today the US's main strength is in services and technology. And we are already loosing out to other nations with more favorable immigration policies - like Australia, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia. If we continue with the the current policies the 'brain drain' will only escalate and will hurt us more in the long run. Support this bill to be fair and to protect intellect. We need it.

This bill is meant for people who are already here in high tech or medical research jobs possibly more than a decade & their green card cases are sitting PRE APPROVED but can't be adjudicated due to lack of visa numbers.
Secondly such people enter in this country using H1b visas not green cards directly & there are no country limits on H1b visas.
Thirdly why should one country have a preference over the other? If Europeons & Africans don't want to come here or don't have skills, why should Indians & Chinese get green cards after their death?
As far as diversity is concerned, this is all about merit or first come first served. Who is stopping people from other countries to come here if they are skilled. Get in the same line. Fact is no one else produces enough engineers & doctors to spare a few for US.
FactsOctober 15, 2011, 5:22am (report abuse)
Try kicking out all Indians & Chinese hard working skilled Immigrants & see what happens to Housing prices & Car dealers, tech & healthcare industries etc etc.
By the way, we are the people least likely to avail any welfare (although we contribute in social security & medicare etc without any expectation for anything in return) as against your diversity visa winners who need welfare from day one & some need throughout their life times.
In a decade or two, Indians & Chinese won't need to come to US anyway (highly qualified already don't want to). You're doing more harm to your own interests by opposing this bill.

I'll buy a house within weeks of getting my Green Card- This bill would expedite me getting the GC. We are also thinking of starting a private school (kumon) with my wife and her friend, but can't do it without the GC.

This bill is not about fairness.
I have been living in the US, since 1998. I applied for LPR in 2006, my application to adjust status was received by the Nebraska Service Center in July 2007.
My son (currently 14, and who was 1 year old when he arrived in the US) is currently working his tail off (attending a private preparatory school) to develop the prerequisites that would allow him to apply to the Air Force Academy, where he hopes to study to become a fighter pilot in the US Air Force.
If this legislation passes, not only will this dream of his be destroyed, but due to the delays in my application, he will "age-out" and be forced to leave the United States. I effect, it will destroy his life, before he even gets a chance to start.
Any policy that could result in such a travesty of justice, cannot possibly be fair. This legislation must be defeated.

I support H.R. 3012: Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act because it is unfair for people who have been legally working and leaving in U.S. for over 10 years to wait another decade to get their U.S. permanent residency while some other people who came to U.S. very recently as 2009 are allowed to get U.S. permanent residency. How can people who pay tax, contribute to the social security, and has been serving U.S over a decade get lesser preference over someone who just came over to U.S.? Most importantly this bill does not change the overall immigration numbers. This bill only fixes an injustice by allocating skilled immigration visas on a first come first serve bases instead of a quota system.

This is a bill that benefits Indians at the expense of every other nationality. If the shoe was on the other foot, not a single Indian would support it and all this high minded talk about fairness, or discrimination. is just so much chin music. Indians are already for about half of all EB visas right now despite so called per country limits, and apparently they would like all of them. The real problem here is not enough visas but too many Indians.

Does anyone really know how EASY the US makes it to become a citizen in the US? Do a little research and see how our neighbors in Canada and Mexico and then check a few other "friendly" nations like France, Germany, the UK, Japan, and even China. You would be surprised considering the amount of attention the US gets from the world. Americans should be pretty proud of their willingness to open their doors and pocketbooks to all other world inhabitants. BTW, did you know you cannot become a Canadian citizen unless you speak English or French? Pretty hard-lined if you ask me. Guess the PM wouldn't like it in LA or San Antonio! New York must scare the hell out of Canadians!

VOTE YES to this bill for fairness in employment based immigration.
I studied computer science in an American university and there were less than half dozen US citizens in my class of approx 100 students. The majority were from India and China. We have to remain competitive by letting the high skilled immigrants remain in the USA, otherwise corporations will gladly outsource tech jobs to other countries, thereby losing educated high tax paying and high spending immigrants.

Your statement is digressing from the relevance of the bill.
However, to answer your question, Indian consulting companies hire Indian immigrants to exploit them by taking advantage of the archaic immigration laws and inefficient bureaucracy. Due to the system taking 30 yrs to provide a green card to a high skilled immgirant from India/China and the immigration laws preventing high skilled immigrants to change employers/jobs while their GC is being processed, the immigrants become like "bonded labor" to these Indian consulting companies. The high skilled workers have to remain with these employers till the US govt gives the high skilled worker their "freedom" with a GC (after decades of waiting in line legally).
This bill will make high skilled immigration fair by making it first-come-first-served.

Fairness Bill
The people concerned are already in United States working for different Corporations around United States. So there is no question of changing diversity.
They are highly paid and receive high salaries based on merit and hard work. Most of them are in the highly taxed bracket and pay taxes diligently.
Most of them have high bank balances and zero credit card balances. Some of them are sending money to their home country as they cannot invest in business in United States. A few of them bought homes; but the other majority are waiting to get a green card so that they buy a home. They have more than 20% down payment as cash to buy a home.
They cannot change jobs till they get Green Card.
Some of them are moving back to their home country as they have better opportunities there. Some moved out to their home country to start their own business. Some applied for Canada immigration and moved to Canada.
So VOTE YES for this fairness bill.

HR 3012 will promote fairness in the Employment-Based Green Card system by making it a true first-come-first-serve process. The Per-Country limits do not make sense in the Employment-Based Green card system. This Bill will fix that problem which is currently affecting the lives of half a million people stuck in the backlog.

Support this bill.
Existing system penalizes legal, high-skilled applicants from certain countries. Today it affects applicants from India and China (wait times measured in decades); in the future it could as easily affect applicants from Australia, England or wherever - simply based on the number of applicants from that country.
First come first served. Every applicant waits for their turn - irrespective of their nationality. That is what this bill does. It does not impact the make of the applicant pool, the adjudication decisions, etc. All it does is restore and ensure fairness in the system.

This bill is advantageous not to India or China but essentially to the United states.
Skilled work will move to where the skilled workers are. Not passing this now will reverse the brain drain that created the innovation capital that is silicon valey. Its already happenning. The competitiveness of the US is at risk.
Those who think that it gives India or China an advantage, think again.
Each skilled worker that is going to make US a permanent home invests in the US economy (Buys a home, invests capital in secondary and primary markets, many start companies that add US workers and even if they don't, just buying a home means creating construction jobs in the US). The US is getting well educated workers in areas where there is excessive demand without having to have invested a penny in them from birth. The aging population is getting a free funding source for social security and retirement.
Support this bill if not for anything else but for your country - the USA

This bill is only about fairness, it's not about bringing new people, it's just about giving something to somebody who asked first. How is that unfair by any standards ?

Imagine this - You are at the grocery store, trying to buy food to put on your family's table.
Now the manager at the grocery store decides to put you in a separate line just because you are from a community that brings in a lot of customers from. He just hates the fact that there are lot of shoppers from your neck of the wood - which is true but not fair.
Now what happens? This line from your community is super long, you are stuck in this loong line. You cannot a break!
What is happening here? You and people from your community are...and what about the Store? Yes the store is definitely suffering too. If these customers were treated fairly, they would have shopped more, made more purchases, everyone would have been happy. Mind you these customers are not Theives, they are benefitting that grocery store and hence its economy!
This is excatly the same hard scenario these skilled immigrants are going through and we need bring in justice and give them a FAIR chance. DEFINITE YES!!

This will remove this big uncertainty in their lives. 15-20 years of uncertainty during your prime productive age is surely not good. Having National Origin as a criteria for approving Green card surely should not be a policy in America. Hope you understand. Thanks you.

As president, I receive a lot of mail with all kinds of questions. A recent persistent question is:
"Where does Multnomah stand on the emerging church?"
My usual answer is brief: "Multnomah has not chosen to take a stand on the emerging church issue." This is because the emerging church, like a number of other issues batted around in evangelical circles, means a lot of radically different things to different people.
I just read an insightful article by Mark Driscoll that helped me unravel some of the dispirit threads of this issue. The article, "Navigating the Emerging Church Highway," was published in a recent issue of The Christian Research Journal (vol. 31, no. 04). Mark, the preaching pastor at Mars Hill Church in Seattle, provides a helpful synopsis to the four "lanes on the emerging church highway."
Briefly, those 4 lanes are:
- Emerging Evangelicals
- House Church Evangelicals
- Emerging Reformers
- Emergent Liberals.
The first three are united in embracing orthodox theology, while holding different views of the mission and purpose of the church. The Emergent Liberals, on the other hand, have rejected much of orthodox theology. Driscoll directs most of his attention on this final group, including an intense analysis of its major proponents: Brian McLaren, Doug Pagitt, and Rob Bell.
Because one can get the impression from reading many of the contemporary books on this topic that there is only one emergent church movement (and it's the liberal one), many conclude there really cannot be any legitimate evangelical expression of the movement. Mark Driscoll clears away some theological smoke for me.
Perhaps it will for you, too.

Another Setback for Facebook Home
Facebook isn't having a great week on mobile with its new Android-based application, Home.
In response to media reports that carriers in Europe were delaying the release of HTC First – the first phone designed specifically for Facebook's new Home application — the company acknowledged Thursday that it has encouraged its European carriers, Orange and EE, to "hold off" on introducing the phone to the continent. It is also going to "limit supporting new devices," according to a statement provided by a Facebook spokeswoman.
"We've listened to feedback from users on their experience using Home. While many people love it, we've heard a lot of great feedback about how to make Home substantially better. As a result we're focusing the next few months on adding customization features that address the feedback we received," said the statement.
It's the latest setback for Facebook, which unveiled Home in April to much fanfare. At the time, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the software turned Google's Android phones into "great" social phones.
But since its release, the app has failed to become a breakout hit, garnering lukewarm reviews in Google's app store and modest downloads. It recorded 1 million installs in the first month, a somewhat disappointing figure, given the hype around the app and the company's marketing push on television and on the Web.
The HTC First has appeared to struggle even more. Wireless carrier AT&T recently cut the device's price to 99 cents from $99 in the United States.
The setbacks show how Facebook is still figuring out its way on mobile. Though it remains one of the most popular apps on Apple's iPhone and Google's Android phones, it has made some strategic blunders along the way. Most notably, it spent years too focused on building a universal, Web-based version of the application instead of putting more energy into designing applications tailored for Apple and Google's operating systems.
After playing catch-up in the first half of 2012, Facebook has vastly improved the performance of its flagship applications and acquired Instagram, the popular photo-sharing mobile app. However, the latest snafus with Home shows how mobile remains a vulnerability as the company tries to compete with a growing crowd of agile upstarts.
In recent weeks, Facebook has acknowledged that it didn't properly design certain aspects of the Home application. Based on user feedback, the company has said that people were upset by the lack of customization options for the home screen. It said it is working on building a better dock and folders for the home screen to address users' concerns.
In separate statements, EE, one of the UK's largest mobile operator, and Orange, said that they did change their plans based on Facebook's recommendation. "We will continue to build on our strong relationship with Facebook so as to offer customers new opportunities in the future," an EE spokesman said in statement.
A spokeswoman for HTC didn't respond to requests for comment.

Best Of :: Sports & Recreation
When the war in Iraq began, both Mavs point guards made comments that suggested they were very much against the war. Canadian Nash received no grief from fans. It was suggested on radio call-in shows, however, African-American Van Exel be booed at games. Now, if you don't think that doesn't have at least something to do with their skin color, then you don't know which country was fighting Iraq. We love it when sports fans talk politics. It's almost as painful as listening to Mayor Laura Miller talk sports.
We could suggest lots of places where they like skaters, where they even charge them admission. But what the hell is that? It's not skating unless somebody in a blue uniform chases you. Grab your board and get downtown! Start at the Masonic Temple at Harwood and Young streets for a backside nosegrind on the long sloping ledges in front; head two blocks downhill to City Hall plaza for a nollie heelflip in front of the mayor; kick-flip across the police memorial and past the fake cows; wind up at the best of the best, the front steps of The Dallas Morning News at 508 Young St. The railings there are perfect for a nice long feeblegrind or two: That's the most you'll get in before about 50 rent-a-cops come charging out the door with big-ass shields, helmets and baseball bats. Your board is your weapon, dude!
Tightfisted locals who carp about the upgrading of Dallas' scruffy municipal courses would probably have heart failure if they saw what Euless calls public golf. City-owned-and-run Texas Star is without a doubt one of the best munies in the nation, with fees almost to match. In Euless, every man (and woman) is king, which in this old game means mirror-smooth Bent grass greens, doting attendants at the clubhouse and a layout with some serious pizzazz. Cut from the Trinity River lowlands, the 7,000-yard Texas Star course wanders through untouched native grasses and dense oak forests. These "native areas" are in play on nearly every hole, and off limits for ball hawking should you decide to visit them. Add an abundance of picturesque water hazards and you have what professional course critics call "resistance to scoring." In other words, bubba, bring a buttload of balls.
Chest-deep in a swimming pool, no one can see you sweat. No one can see the flab flopping around either, which is another benefit of water aerobics, the fastest-growing form of exercise for the gym-weary boomer crowd. Tricia Moon's classes--ongoing at the DISD pool on Hermosa at Peavy and at the White Rock Athletic Club--combine high-energy aerobics, underwater weight and resistance training, some tai chi, a little kickboxing (so much easier underwater) and even a bit of go-go dancing. Moon keeps classes lively with a steady patter of jokes and encouraging words. Watching her go through the moves (at 43, she's all leg and lean muscle) is motivation to keep pushing when the urge is to dog-paddle. For three summers, Moon has led a popular (and addictive) Saturday-morning class at Rowlett's Wet Zone water park, where water exercisers jog, skip and leap against the strong current of the "river" pool. It's like fighting a riptide, and it's a killer workout. That class starts again next May.
So, it's pricey, but where else can you jog or walk on a shock-absorbing one-mile outdoor track set against 30 acres of lush pecan, red oak and cedar trees? Where else are the ducks, geese and squirrels so relaxed in their natural habitat they actually risk asking you for spare change? Face it, there is no place like the Cooper Fitness Center, which is why there is still a waiting list to get in. But with its two heated 25-yard, six-lane pools, its 4,200-square-foot weight training area, its sizable cardiovascular equipment area, its indoor basketball and outdoor tennis courts, its multiple saunas, steam rooms and whirlpools, its close association with the Cooper guest lodge, spa and clinic--hell, it just might be worth the wait.
Spring training is a relaxed atmosphere where the players talk candidly and the reporters wear sunscreen and bad Hawaiian shirts. Some of the conversations are considered off the record. Some, not all. During prescribed media hours, Rangers second baseman Mike Young and third baseman Hank Blalock engaged in a conversation with some members of the media, among them a bad, bad person from the Observer. The topic: Howard Stern's interview with Limp Bizkit front man Fred Durst. Durst said that he had gone out with pop icon Britney Spears for a spell. He also claimed, over the course of their courtship, that he "ate her ass." "He ate her ass?" Blalock asked incredulously. "That's what he said," Young responded. "Fred Durst is a cool dude." Truer words were never spoken.

Climate Change
October 11th, 2009 No comments
Here at The Linux Experiment we are all about shaking things up. After all, we have committed to using Linux for four whole months just to see if we could! The next big thing that we are going to introduce into the experiment is a little environmental change. No I don't mean the Al Gore kind of environment, but rather the desktop environment like GNOME or KDE.
For a week or so, leading up to the recording of our next podcast, each of us will be switching our current desktop environment to something else. The point is to once more branch out of our comfort zones a little bit and see if we don't end up liking something else better!
Stay tuned!

IPhone 4S Disappoints Consumers, Investors; Siri App Kicked Out of App Store
Tiffany Kaiser

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
iPhone 4S
(Source: DailyTech)
A lack of hardware updates leaves customers and investors disappointed in the new iPhone 4S
Through a good portion of 2011, many awaited the big
iPhone 5
announcement with the traditional amped-up presentation to show off all the new features an Apple fan could hope for. Instead, what they got was the iPhone 4S and a presentation that lacked the charisma of former CEO Steve Jobs.
iPhone 4S
, which was announced yesterday, does give customers a few changes to look forward to. It's trading in the single-core A4 processor for a dual-core A5 processor. Also, it has 8-megapixel camera with backside illumination (the iPhone 4 had a 5MP camera), the new mobile operating system iOS 5, and it can operate on CDMA and GSM networks.
A main addition to the 4S is the voice assistant called Siri. Siri has been a third-party app that could be downloaded for iOS devices, but now, a more fluid and user-friendly version of the app is integrated into the iPhone 4S. The app was removed from Apple's App Store after presenting the 4S yesterday, and the servers were taken offline. The Siri servers, however, are back online with the following message: "I've been replaced! The new Siri is even smarter and better looking than me, and waiting for you on the iPhone 4S. I'll be leaving for home Oct. 15th. Until then...how can I help you?"
While a newer, better version of Siri voice command is a nice addition to the 4S; it may not be enough to encourage current iPhone 4 users to switch to the latest addition to the iPhone family. Many were disappointed by the lack of external changes, saying they had hoped for a thinner phone with a larger screen. The iPhone's appearance has not changed in over a year, unless you count the release of the
white iPhone 4
"It's been 16 months and all you've got is an A5 processor in the existing iPhone 4," said Colin Gillis, an analyst with BGC Partners. "It's a mild disappointment, but they're still going to be selling millions of units."
The iPhone 4S may sell during the upcoming holiday season due to the expiration of two-year 3GS contracts, but Android-powered smartphones are at the top of their game and Apple really could have used a home run with a new device to intensify competition. Android-powered smartphones had voice command features integrated into their systems already, and the hardware/software is continuously changing. Apple's decision to not update hardware in the 4S may lead to more Android-related purchases, putting the iPhone maker behind by the time it releases the iPhone 5.
According to a Nielsen study,
Android-powered smartphones
are No. 1 in the U.S. with a 43 percent market share leaving the iPhone at No. 2 with a 28 percent market share.
Consumers and investors are disappointed in the 4S release, but Apple has some other tricks up its sleeve. Along with the 4S announcement came the news of a
$99 iPhone 4 and a free iPhone 3GS
for those who sign long-term contracts with their wireless carriers. This will appeal to low-end markets and give Apple an edge in a whole new area.
"Apple is
hitting Nokia
where it's vulnerable," said Michael Yoshikami, CEO of YCMNet Advisors. "How many billions of people in emerging markets would love to have an iPhone? These are a growing demographic."
The iPhone 4S will be available starting at $199 on October 14.

Damage to the respiratory system from cigarette smoking is slow, progressive, and deadly. A healthy respiratory system is continuously cleansed. The mucus produced by the respiratory tubules traps dirt and disease-causing organisms, which cilia sweep toward the mouth, where it can be eliminated. Smoking greatly impairs this housekeeping. With the very first inhalation of smoke, the beating of the cilia slows. With time, the cilia become paralyzed and, eventually, disappear altogether. The loss of cilia leads to the development of smoker's cough. The cilia no longer effectively remove mucus, so the individual must cough it up. Coughing is usually worse in the morning because mucus has accumulated during sleep.
To make matters worse, excess mucus is produced and accumulates, clogging the air passageways. Pathogenic organisms that are normally removed now have easier access to the respiratory surfaces and the resulting lung congestion favors their growth. This is why smokers are sick more often than nonsmokers. In addition, a lethal chain reaction begins. Smokerís cough leads to chronic bronchitis, caused by destroyed respiratory cilia. Mucus production increases and the lining of the bronchioles thickens, making breathing difficult. The bronchioles lose elasticity and are no longer able to absorb the pressure within the alveoli (microscopic air sacs) enough to rupture the delicate alveolar walls; this condition is the hallmark of smoking-induced emphysema. The burst alveoli cause worsening of the cough, fatigue, wheezing, and impaired breathing. Emphysema is fifteen times more common among individuals who smoke a pack of cigarettes a day than among nonsmokers.
Simultaneous with the structural changes progressing to emphysema may be cellular changes leading to lung cancer. First, cells in the outer border of the bronchial lining begin to divide more rapidly than usual. Eventually, these displace the ciliated cells. Their nuclei begin to resemble those of cancerous cells--large and distorted with abnormal numbers of chromosomes. Up to this point, the damage can be repaired if smoking ceases. However, if smoking continues, these cells may eventually break through the basement membrane and begin dividing within the lung tissue, forming a tumor with the potential of spreading throughout lung tissue. Eighty percent of lung cancer cases are due to cigarette smoking. Only 13% of lung cancer patients live as long as 5 years after the initial diagnosis.

Johnny Marr to Smiths-reunion hopefuls: 'Find a hobby'
Listen to Johnny Marr on iHeartRadio | Listen to The Smiths on iHeartRadio
Johnny Marr has a message for fans still holding out hope for a reunion of The Smiths: It's not happening.
In more blunt terms, the guitarist told the "Japan Times" in a recent interview, "If people get genuinely upset and frustrated that four men that last played together 25 years ago are doing other things, then those people need to go and find a hobby."
Marr, who formed The Smiths with Morrissey back in 1982, released his first solo album, The Messenger in February and is reportedly already working on a follow up. He's also getting ready to tour the UK in October.

The touching story of a restaurant fixing a 'broken' cheeseburger for an autistic girl
(Liz Klimas) If you've ever made a sandwich for a young child, you might know that how exactly it's cut — into rectangles, squares or triangles — and crust vs. no crust can be points of contention.
There was a similar issue with the cheeseburger placed in front of 7-year-old Arianna Hill at a Chili's restaurant in Midvale, Utah. Hill, it turns out, has autism and wouldn't touch the cheeseburger that had been cut in half. To her, it was "broken."
What happened next prompted her sister to write up a Facebook post Sunday that has since gone viral with more than 27,000 comments, more than 199,000 shares and more than a half a million likes.
Anna Kaye MacLean explained in the post that she and her husband took her younger sister to Chili's where she ordered her usual favorite — cheeseburger with pickles and French fries with a chocolate milk — promptly when the waitress, Lauren, came to get drink orders.
When the food was delivered MacLean said she asked her sister why she wasn't eating her Krabby Patty, a reference to the hamburger joint in the cartoon show SpongeBob Square Pants.
"She replied, 'It's broken. I need another one thats fixed,'" MacLean's Facebook post read. "Then it dawned on me why she wasn't eating it. It's because it was cut in half. Being a child with autism, she has to have certain things in a particular order at all times. One slight change in her routine can change the course of the day instantly."
MacLean told the waitress when she returned that she needed to order a new burger, which they would happily pay for, that wasn't cut down the middle. Here's what happened next:
Lauren was so sweet and just smiled and went along with Arianna, telling her "I brought you a broken cheeseburger?! You know what, I'll have them cook you a new one!" I loved this because rather than just taking it from the table, she actually TOLD Arianna what she was doing. While this seems insignificant, by her telling Arianna what she was doing, we avoided a melt down. The manager, Bradley Cottermole, then came to our table, kneeled down, and said to Arianna, "I heard we gave you a broken cheeseburger! I am so sorry about that! We are making you a brand new one that isn't broken, with pickles! I'll bring you some french fries to munch on while you're waiting, ok?" A couple of minutes later, Lauren arrived back at our table with cheeseburger #2.

Was $149.95 NOW $79.95
Recalling the record-playing phonographs from days of yore, this is the digital gramophone that plays classic Christmas songs performed by renowned musicians. The 12 included 3"-diameter records each represent a classic song, including Here Comes Santa Claus by Bing Crosby, Winter Wonderland by Louis Armstrong, and Let it Snow by The Temptations. As a record spins on the gramophone's turntable it prompts the unit to play the corresponding song through integrated speakers. Other songs include The Temptations melding all five harmonies on Silent Night, James Brown's bluesy version of The Christmas Song, and Eartha Kitt's Santa Baby. The gramophone requires less than 1' sq. of table space and has a engineered wood base and cabinet that neatly stores all of the records, a plastic horn, and a volume-control dial. Requires four AA batteries. 12" H x 6 1/2" D x 8 1/4" W. (2 lbs.)

Best Uses
I thought this would be a more festive way to listen to holiday music! The item is cute and decorative and adds an antique holiday feel to my home! It is a little smaller than I expected but easy to find a space for because of that. Would love to have even more songs to go with it, but the ones included are great choices and the sound is good quality.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
