text: Now You Can Fuel Your Car With TobaccoTim Barribeau1/06/10 10:00amFiled to: mad scienceTobaccoTomaccoBiofuelsgreen energyScienceJalopnik49EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Researchers have developed a way to boost the naturally-occurring oils in tobacco, increasing its potential for use as a biofuel. Big tobacco plus big oil? What could possibly go wrong?AdvertisementIt seems that the seeds of the tobacco plant are naturally high in oils that would make them ideal for use as a biofuel — but an acre of the plant only produces around 600kg of seeds. Researchers from the Biotechnology Foundation Laboratories at Thomas Jefferson University have found a way to modify the plants to produce 20x as much oil in the leaves — by tweaking the diacyglycerol acytransferase (DGAT) and the LEAFY COTYLEDON 2 (LEC2) genes. This would significantly increase the amount of biofuel that could be generated.Large areas of America are already set up for tobacco farming, so the switch to biofuel production may not be too difficult. We might even see large tobacco firms using this as a PR offensive, as a way to clean up their tarnished image. Who knows, maybe they'll even team up with big oil, for a megacorp lovefest.Advertisement[via Thomas Jefferson Hospital]

Rick Perry Shuts Down Planned Parenthood
Posted on the 13 December 2012 by JobsangerBut there is one issue that Perry is doubling down on, because he believes he can ride that issue into the White House -- outlawing abortion. Now Perry is not real bright. He ignores the fact that a significant majority of Americans support the current Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision, which allows abortions in the first trimester of a pregnancy and imposes restrictions after that trimester. All he can see is that outlawing abortion and denying women the ability to control their own bodies is very popular with his teabagger base voters, and he thinks if he beats that drum hard enough he could get the GOP presidential nomination.
In the last legislative session, he supported and signed into law a measure that forces women seeking abortions in Texas to submit to a vaginal sonigram. This is nothing short of state-mandated rape, since it involves violating a woman's vaginal area by inserting a probe against her will. Any citizen that did this would receive a long and well-deserved prison sentence, but Perry and his teabagger cohorts think it is just fine for the state to require this to happen.
Perry also cut off all state funds going to Planned Parenthood -- even though Planned Parenthood never used state funds for abortions (and only 3% of Planned Parenthood's business involved abortions). But Perry didn't care. He knew it would play well to his teabagger base, and that's all he cares about. That resulted in the federal government cutting off funds going to Texas for women's healthcare, and now the next legislature must somehow make up those millions of dollars (or leave poor Texas women without a place to get contraception, breast cancer exams, or basic healthcare.
Now in the new session of the legislature (which starts in January 2013), Perry is pushing a "fetal pain" bill. This is the new popular way the GOP is using to attack abortion. The thesis is that a fetus can feel pain as early as 20 weeks, and Perry and his cohorts would ban all abortions at 20 weeks or after. Of course there is no scientific evidence that a fetus can feel pain at 20 weeks, or even later. Anyone who says they can is just lying to push their own political agenda (and that is exactly what Perry is doing).
The truth is that Rick Perry just wants to outlaw all abortions, even in cases of rape or incest. He knows he can't make a frontal attack on Roe vs. Wade, so he is chipping away at the edges of current law. He admits as much by saying:
To be clear, my goal, and the goal of many of those joining me here today, is to make abortion, at any stage, a thing of the past.While Roe v. Wade prevents us from taking that step, it does allow states to do some things to protect life if they can show there is a compelling state interest. I don't think there is any issue that better fits the definition of 'compelling state interest' than preventing the suffering of our state's unborn. . .Again, the ideal world is a world without abortion.Until then, however, we will continue to pass laws to ensure abortions are as rare as possible under existing law.
But Perry and all the other fetus fetishists are laboring under a false assumption -- that abortion can be eliminated. The fact is though, there have always been abortions -- and always will be. They can be reduced in number through good sex education and the correct use of contraceptives (which Perry and his teabagger buddies oppose), but outlawing abortions will have little effect on whether they continue to happen or not. If outlawed, they will simply move underground again (like they were before Roe vs. Wade), and many women will die because a safe and legal abortion was not available to them.
And the really crazy part is that while Perry loves the fetus, he doesn't have much use for the child after it is born. Like many of his fellow Republicans, he is happy to use the power of the state to attempt to force a woman to have a child. But once that child is born, he opposes the state providing health insurance, food, clothing, housing, or other things the state could provide to raise that child to be a healthy and contributing member of society. He's even against properly funding schools or establishing stricter standards for schools, so the child can get a decent education.
All of you readers outside Texas should take this post as a warning, because Perry is going to try and run for president again -- and this fool would make George W. Bush look like a great president (and a bleeding-heart liberal). If you thought Bush was bad (and he was the worst president of modern times), then just wait until you get Rick Perry (a racist, misogynistic, homophobic, corporatist, corrupt politician with absolutely no moral or ethical center).

JIM HOTEL. The Jim Hotel was a jazz and blues venue in Fort Worth. Black millionaire William Madison "Gooseneck Bill" McDonald built the three-story, fifty-room hotel at 413 East Fifth Street in the late 1920s. He named the hotel after his second wife, Jimmie Strickland, and the Jim gained a reputation as the finest "Negro" inn in Fort Worth by the end of the 1930s. In 1934 Levi and Oscar Cooper purchased the hotel and built the environment that attracted jazz and blues enthusiasts. The Coopers hired "T-Bone" Walkerqv to lead the house band that played in the hotel lobby, known by guests as the College Inn.
Although the hotel's check-in clientele remained strictly black, white music lovers headed for the Jim after midnight to listen to "real jazz" in the College Inn. They often stayed for early-morning jam sessions with such musicians as Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Cab Calloway, Ray Charles, Billy Eckstine, Ella Fitzgerald, Lowell Fulson, Errol Garner, Woody Herman, Al Hibbler, Earl "Fatha" Hines, Billie Holiday, the original Ink Spots, Louis Jordan, B. B. King, Andy Kirk, George E. Lee, Pigmeat Markham, Bennie Moten, Red Nichols and His Five Pennies, the Andrews Sisters, King Oliver, Buddy Rich, Art Tatum, Sara Vaughan, Joe Venuti, Fats Waller, Chick Webb, Paul Whiteman, Mary Lou Willliams, Lester Young, and Trummy Young.
The Jim Hotel changed hands in the late 1940s, and a series of owners cared for the structure and its twenty-five-room annex, which included a dining room, a beauty salon, and a taxicab stand. During the early 1950s the place was renamed the "New Jim Hotel." It began to deteriorate and saw a declining quality of clientele over the next decade. In 1964 the structure was razed to make room for a freeway. A ramp, driveway, and parking lot now occupy the site where black–white crossover music found a foothold in segregated Fort Worth.
In 2001 the Fort Worth Historic Exhibit Committee approved the construction of a tribute to east downtown Fort Worth's black-owned business district. A bas-relief by Denton sculptor Paula Blincoe Collins, depicting such community icons as Goose-neck Bill McDonald and the Jim Hotel, was commissioned to stand at a covered walkway connecting the Fort Worth Intermodal Transportation Center's main building to the platform at the west end of the Fort Worth–Dallas rail. Her five sculpted panels were installed in 2002.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
In April tobacco king Lucio Tan's LT Group raised $920 million in what was the Philippines' biggest ever share sale. More than half of the money, which Tan will use to expand his liquor, banking and property businesses, came from outside Asia, as investors in the U.S. and Europe were eager to get a slice of the region's fastest-growing economy. Expanding 7.8% in the first quarter on the back of strong domestic consumption, the country got an investment-grade rating this year though rising unemployment remains one of the hitches.
Consolidating his vast private assets last year into listed LT Group (earlier Tanduay Holdings) enabled Tan to cement his position as the country's second-richest person. He was this year's top gainer, adding $3 billion to his wealth followed by mall magnate Henry Sy, who, at No. 1 for the sixth straight year, was richer by $2.9 billion. Another gainer: Andrew Tan, who's biding his time to list casino Resorts World Manila, doubled his fortune to $4.6 billion to snatch the third spot as shares of his Alliance Global, maker of top-selling Emperador brandy, jumped. (None of the Tans on this list is related.)
Other tycoons who tapped the equity market include banker George Ty, who after last year's IPO of GT Capital, raised $350 million in January to increase his holding in a joint venture with ; and juice king Alfredo Yao, one of seven newcomers to the list, who debuts after listing his Philippine Business Bank in February. The explosion of issuances underscores the country's emergence as a hot investment destination in the region, says Lauro Baja, country head, Philippines. The share sales have helped crystallize the values of private businesses built over the years, as in the case of Tan and Ty, he adds. According to Dealogic, more than $7.2 billion was raised since January 2012 compared with $7.7 billion in Indonesia and $9.3 billion in Thailand.
With a buoyant stock market, up 28% in the past year, the country has 2 more billionaires this year, taking the total to 17, including former senator and property baron Manuel Villar. The Aboitiz family enters the top ten ranks after we combined the fortune of the wider clan following the death of patriarch Enrique Aboitiz in January. There were no drop-offs this year when we extended the list from 40 to 50 tycoons, though 9 were poorer. The latter group included Eduardo Cojuangco Jr., who lost his billionaire status after selling a chunk of his stake in San Miguel at a discount to his protégé, Ramon Ang, who debuts on the list (see box, p. 73). The top 50 are worth a combined $65.8 billion, more than a quarter of the nation's GDP.

Groton - The school district is moving forward with additional security measures that would allow school staff to lock gymnasiums, libraries, auditoriums and cafeterias districtwide.
William Robarge, director of buildings and grounds, said Tuesday the hardware has been purchased and is being installed. The plan would install locks so teachers could secure common areas from inside, without stepping into the hallway, in case of an emergency.
The project will cost $110,000 and is part of the capital improvement program approved for this fiscal year.
The door locks represent the second phase of school security upgrades in Groton. The district began the first phase last winter after touring schools with police and discussing what was needed.
Initial upgrades included front door entry system. A lock, camera and buzzer system was installed, so that visitors could buzz the main office and ask to be let in. The system allowed the secretary in the main office to see who was at the door, confirm whether the person had an appointment and open the door remotely.
Groton also installed "panic buttons" in schools that automatically dial 911, cameras that record activity in areas such as playgrounds, and card readers that allow only authorized personnel with issued cards to move between main buildings and portable classrooms.
"I think we've made great improvements across the district, and we continue to do so," Robarge said.
In addition to these measures, the district erected fencing in areas where police deemed it necessary or where school property had been used as a shortcut for walkers, and posted signs warning of the newly installed video surveillance.

Chiles en nogada
You've never had stuffed peppers like these. Flavorful pork shoulder, along with fruit—dried and fresh, the perfect
fall combination—make this filling unlike any other. Traditionally, new-crop walnuts formed the basis for this sauce. Their skins are very bitter, so they are always peeled, which isn't necessary with regular walnuts.
Leave a Review
I really enjoyed this dish but it's very labor intensive and time- consuming. With prep time included, the first time I made it it took me closer to 5 hours from start to finish. The walnut sauce is a perfect finishing touch and adds a great flavor and texture to the dish. The pomegranates are great as well and balance the savory with a great touch of sweet. I was underwhelmed by the stuffing and have found that the foundations of this recipe are good but I prefer to play around with the stuffing. I have made it with ground beef and sauteed vegetables and a blackberry jam instead of pomegranate seeds, which are only in season for a short time.
WOW! the flavors of this dish are amazing! Three of us got together and made this for a dinner party, which helped make the whole process go faster, it would have taken ages to make alone. Made almost exactly as is. The few tweeks: used coconut milk instead of regular milk for the sauce, which was fantastic! One person in our party was allergic to walnuts, so we subbed pecans instead. No pomegranates were to be found, so we skipped this portion, really can't imagine that it affects the flavor all that much... One note, I grew chillies in my garden and then had to supplement with a few store bought chillies, the ones from the store were much much hotter than the ones from my garden. The hotter chillies totally overpowered the subtle flavors in the stuffing. I would recommend choosing chillies that have a kick, but are not too spicy.
This recipe was amazing. Tons of work, but well worth the effort for a special occasion. The sauce was so simple and delicious that my dinner guests didn't believe me when I told them what was in it. I shredded the pork instead of chopping it, but I don't imagine it made much difference. Lovely flavors. Now I just need to find someone to roast and peel the peppers for me, its a pain.
Delicious! I used crystalized pinneaple instead of the peaches and came out great.
I was so excited to find this recipe because it really tastes like what my friend's mom made for me when I visited them in Mexico. It's time consuming, but very impressive to guests who haven't had it.
Do people understand that this is the celebration dish "Chiles en Nogada" that is the heart of Puebla Mexican cooking? It's a dish served in late summer and at most Pueblan restaurants its scrumptious. Do dot scrim on the walnut sauce. The green poblan, the white walnut sauce and the red pomegranate seeds represent the colors of the Mexican flag. Viva Mexico!
Excellent! I actually purchased pulled pork from my local Whole Foods and skipped that step. Definitel company-worthy.
I thought the sauce wasn't worth the money, or really needed. The peppers were alright.
This was a great idea for leftover cubed pork. The filling is nothing short of a celebration of textures and tastes, well worth the effort.

How much does A.J. Burnett miss Dave Eiland?
From the outside, the impact of a hitting coach or a pitching coach is always vague at best. Clearly coaches play a role, but how much of a player's success comes from his own talent and how much comes from outside perspective and understanding? How much of A.J. Burnett's early season success and recent struggles are because of Dave Eiland?
"I'm not going to lie," Burnett said. "Dave is a big part of what we do here, and who I am and who our starters are. On the other hand, I've been pitching for 11 years now. I think I'd be able to make the adjustment on my own out there."
Eiland left the team for personal reasons on June 4. Burnett pitched that day and began a string of four straight losses.
"I don't discount that," Joe Girardi said. "I wish I knew what exactly it was because we would try to straighten it out. Yeah, Dave has an impact on all of the pitchers. Could it (be part of the problem)? Yeah, but I can't tell you that's exactly what it is."
Now the burden falls on Mike Harkey — who would have been involved to some extent whether Eiland were here or not — to lead the fixing process.
"I don't think it's any tougher than it's always been," Harkey said. "As a coach period we're going to go through ups and downs. You're going to have guys that struggle, and everybody's going to sit there and put their heads together and try to find answers to it."
Ultimately, Burnett and Girardi seem to agree that the bulk of the responsibility falls to the pitcher himself. Burnett said has "an idea" of what he needs to fix — he hasn't felt comfortable out of the windup, which might be a place to start — and he'll get every opportunity to straighten himself out. Girardi said skipping Burnett's turn is not in the plans.
"(Eiland) not here is a big loss for all of us," Burnett said. "I'm not going to point fingers and make excuses at all. I'm out there throwing pitches whether Dave's in the dugout or not. He's corrected me enough where I should have it in my memory what Dave says. I'm a man. I'm a professional athlete who's got a big contract, who's here for a reason, and there's no reason you shouldn't be able to do that on your own."
Here's Burnett speaking after last night's game.

With the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Green Technology Pilot Program closed, it's time to think outside the box (and outside the country)
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) Green Technology Pilot Program is now history.
As of February 27, 2012 petition number 3,500 had been granted (see the most recent green_report), and the USPTO announced that the green fast track is closed.
So what do green patent applicants who want, need, crave, and/or yearn for accelerated examination in the USPTO do now?
The USPTO has two suggestions. First, try the office's new Track One Prioritized Examinationprocedure.
Part of the recently-enacted America Invents Act, this new fast track affords a patent application special status and aims to provide a final disposition within a year of the grant of prioritized status.
But Prioritized Examination costs $2,400 for small entities and $4,800 for large entities.
Alternatively, the USPTO invites green patent applicants to take advantage of its established Accelerated Examination program.
This is the familiar Petition to Make Special based on particular circumstances such as infringement or the applicant's age or specific technologies like those relating to HIV/AIDs, cancer, countering terrorism, and, to the point of this post, environmental quality and energy.
However, this program shifts the prior art search and evaluation burden (and cost) to the applicant. A complete Petition to Make Special requires a pre-examination search and submission of the material prior art.
The Accelerated Examination procedure also imposes the onerous requirement of preparing an Examination Support Document (ESD) explaining where each claim limitation can be found in the prior art and how each of the claims is patentable over the prior art.
The ESD has been nicknamed the Express Suicide Document for the potential inequitable conduct and other risks it can raise should a resulting patent be litigated down the road.
What about Patents for Humanity? This is not an accelerated examination procedure, but an awards competition in which patentees and licensees submit applications describing how they have used their patented technologies to address humanitarian needs.
Judges choose winners in four categories, one of which is clean technology. The winner is awarded a certificate for accelerated processing of one its patent applications.
To quote Dom DeLuise, as Emperor Nero in Mel Brooks' History of the World, Part I, "Nice. Not thrilling, but nice." Certainly not something anyone will incorporate into a regular filing strategy.
Allow me to make another suggestion.
Remember two things. First, the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) allows an applicant that receives allowed claims or an issued patent in the intellectual property office in which the patent application was first filed to accelerate examination of a corresponding patent application in a second intellectual property office where the application is subsequently filed.
The PPH is technology agnostic and comprises twenty-two participating jurisdictions, including significant ones without green fast tracks such as the European Patent Office.
Second, the Green Technology Pilot Program was only one of seven green patent fast track programs offered by various national IP offices around the world. Other countries that still provide accelerated examination for green patent applications are the UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, Israel, and Korea.
For applicants who are going to file in one or more of these countries anyway (typically later via the PCT international process and timeline), a good strategy is to file first in one of these countries, say Canada, and get on that country's green tech fast track.
Once the applicant gets claims allowed by the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, you can take the allowed claims and use the PPH to have the corresponding U.S. patent application expedited at the USPTO (and/or many other intellectual property offices around the world).
So one can leverage one of the remaining green tech fast track programs and use it as an HOV lane to provide quick access to the PPH and get those green patent applications accelerated in many countries that don't have green fast tracks.

Design Services: Motorcity Europe
A recent Business Week article stated that "never before has design been so vital to an auto maker's success, maybe even to its survival". Much of the reason for this is the close parity in quality between different brands and the general high quality of new cars; according to J.D. Power, vehicle quality has improved 24% in the past five years. This situation is well recognized and is perhaps reflected in the more expressive design direction that several brands are now adopting in order to better differentiate themselves. But what is not so broadly recognized in addition to the growing importance of design as a differentiator, is the significant growth in volume of design output.
In 1995, there were 910 different cars and light trucks sold in the US. By 2002 that number had risen 44%, to 1314. More models, more derivatives of each model, and a higher replacement rate, means the volume of design work produced by studios has grown just as its importance in product differentiation has grown.
And often compounding the pressures of this situation for OEM design studios are shorter lead times with reduced budgets.
Car manufacturers' in-house design studios have developed new processes and organizational structures that improve efficiency, but the pressure on them to deliver higher quality in ever more quantity is still increasing. Within this context, there is a growing argument for OEMs to use independent studios.
Styling houses pre-date in-house design studios, having stemmed from the coach building trade that in turn pre-dated the car industry. Today the large established independents struggle with a high cost base, a need to utilize capacity and are often most profitable in the engineering and production services they offer. But smaller independent design studios are increasingly succeeding in offering what OEM design groups need and what the established independents can't provide: project based design teams where individuals are brought in for their specific capabilities, combined with low overheads - high quality design at relatively low cost.
One of this new breed of 21st century independent design studios is Motorcity Europe (MCE) based in Cologne, Germany and formed in 2000 by native Detroiter, David Hilton.
Hilton and his associate James Hope have a strong portfolio of OEM, European, US and Asian design work behind them. Amongst many projects for Chrysler, Ford and Johnson Controls, Hope was a lead designer on the Ford Mustang and worked recently on the interactive interior for the Fiat Trepiuno concept. Hilton has worked in the US, Japan, Brazil, Germany and the UK for many OEM brands; his most recent work before founding MCE was on the Ford Mondeo. MCE also has a core of 10 associate automotive designers based in the US, UK, Germany, France, Sweden and Spain, all of them with a high level of digital design competence - a must for this new type of design studio. Their clients currently include Ford of Europe, Hyundai, Kia, Tata and C2P Automotive (a UK-based sports car engineering company).
But what truly makes Motorcity Europe one of the new breed of independents is that they have a total of 38 designers, 84 clay and digital modelers on their books, and 3 full size modeling studios with over 100 engineers available from their established engineering partner Bertrandt. This enables MCE to work almost anywhere in the world and to undertake large projects (the first of which was the Focus RS, the most recent a sports car program requiring 16 designers and 24 modelers), without the expense of keeping huge studio facilities.
According to Hilton; "as all of our projects ebb and flow at different paces, it doesn't make financial sense to have large studios and lots of staff if the projects don't demand it; we bring in talent and procure services on a project by project basis."
With an international base of talent, a high proportion of value creation done digitally, and a network of associate organizations and individuals with specific capabilities, Motorcity Europe is perhaps the pioneer of this type of new leaner, fitter 21st century independent design studio. Just as the demands on OEM design groups inextricably grow, so it seems will the value of this new breed of independent design studio.

Rumors Of Cray's Dearth...
In your article "Cray's feet of clay" (Developments to Watch, Sept. 25), your portrayal of "momentous changes...sweeping the supercomputer industry" noted some exciting trends but missed the point that Cray Research Inc. is driving many of these changes. For instance, Cray plans to ship a new supercomputer line with top speeds above the vaunted teraflops mark (1 trillion calculations per second) early next year, well before the competing system you mention. Advance orders for this Cray system are ahead of the pace set by Cray's current product, which in 1994 became the revenue leader in the emerging market for so-called scalable parallel systems.
More important, these systems are already being used for innovative new tasks including oil exploration, traffic congestion planning, virtual surgery, and advanced medical research.

Military services open the door to GIG-BE
Fed up with the lack of progress Defense has made on modernizing its business systems, Congress is threatening fines of $5,000 and jail time for the department's comptroller if systems do not comply with the EA
Congress is enforcing its mandate that the Defense Department develop systems compatible with the DOD Business Enterprise Architecture'with the threat of jail time and hefty fines for the department's comptroller.
For years, lawmakers working on Defense budgets have demanded that DOD shape up its business systems. In the fiscal 2005 Defense authorization act signed by the president last month, they set a fine of $5,000 along with a possible two-year prison sentence for each time'starting Oct. 1'that Defense OKs spending $1 million or more for any system that does not comply with the BEA.
The language is tied to Title 31 of the Antideficiency Act, which makes it illegal for government agencies to use funds for projects outside authorized purposes.
The move is the latest attempt by lawmakers to force Defense to improve its business systems, many of which duplicate one another and fail to work together. So far, the department has identified 4,700 business systems running within Defense today'up from hundreds just a few years ago. DOD spends billions of dollars each year to operate, maintain and modernize its accounting, acquisition, logistics and personnel systems.
'I think the legislation is a step in the right direction in terms of governance, accountability and helping to bring together the integration of thousands of business systems in the department,' said Gregory Kutz, director of financial management and assurance for the Government Accountability Office.
Kutz said he has never seen an official go to jail for Antideficiency Act violations, but he thinks congressional leaders are looking for someone to hold accountable in rectifying the DOD's business systems problems.
Kutz said when he did his review of the department's Business Management Modernization Program in the summer, he found dozens of systems across the Army, Air Force and Navy'totaling $863 million in obligations'that were in clear violation of the act.
Marilyn Fleming, chief architect for Defense's Business Management Modernization Program, said DOD is listening.
'The goal is an unqualified auditing opinion,' Fleming said this month at the GCN 2004 Enterprise Architecture Conference in Washington. The department is shooting for a clean financial audit by 2007'which would be DOD's first unblemished financial review ever. 'The goal is how do I streamline my business and act like a corporation?'
GAO's Kutz said the application of the architecture would improve military business operations, such as paying active-duty troops and reservists and managing supplies.
Some think the $1 million threshold is set too low, but ultimately, Fleming said, it will help DOD ensure that all its systems meet architecture standards.
Before Tina Westby Jonas, the current comptroller and chief financial officer, approves funding for any business system, she must certify that it is being developed and managed in accordance with the department's Financial Management Modernization Plan.
A DOD guide issued earlier this year, IT Portfolio Management, provides Defense agencies with help on business modernization, Jonas said in an e-mail response to questions. The modernization program office uses the portfolio management guidelines to ensure that systems are bought and built correctly.
The document groups systems by functional similarities, helping managers eliminate redundancy, address gaps in capability and assure investment only in systems that comply with the business architecture, Jonas said.
Lawmakers did acknowledge that some systems rightly should be outside the architecture. In the authorization bill, Congress ordered Defense to create a panel to approve waivers on a case-by-case basis:
For systems deemed necessary to achieve a critical national security capability or address a critical requirement in an area such as safety or security
To prevent a significant adverse effect on a project to achieve an essential capability.
The business systems overhaul is 'the largest transformation effort in government or industry,' Fleming said. Because it is unparalleled in its management scope, DOD has no models to pattern the program after, she said.
Kutz agreed, saying the scope of the project is bigger than any enterprise architecture effort he has ever seen.
'The size and complexity even dwarfs Wal-Mart,' he said. 'DOD is much more complicated than any other organization.'
DOD must do a better job of managing the systems it approves for development, Kutz said. In his report to Congress, he said the department had failed to build a central systems repository for the modernization effort or define what a business system is.
GAO also criticized the BMMP office for poor top-level accountability, deeply embedded cultural resistance to change, lack of performance measures, and inadequate incentives and monitoring mechanisms.
But the BMMP office contends things are turning around. Earlier this year, DOD accepted financial improvement plans from the military services on ways each planned to comply with the comptroller's accounting policies.
In late summer, DOD and BMMP contractor IBM Corp. released Version 2.2 of the business architecture, which includes DOD's Enterprise Business Process Model, and recently delivered Version 2.21, which includes the Standard Financial Information Structure.

Aureole is a pure-dance piece for three women and two men whose spirits, as well as their dancing, seem infected by Handel's music (selections from his concerti grossi and Jephtha). They don't take on any Baroque fussiness, but amid their running, spinning, jumping turbulence there's a sense of sweetness, even modesty. They collect themselves at the ends and beginnings of numbers, with hands neatly spread along parallel thighs. The principal couple (Annmaria Mazzini and Orion Duckstein in Friday night's performance) embrace tenderly, disregarding the audience, as they wait for their music to begin. The other man (Richard Chen See) flirts mildly with the women but barely touches them, and he waits till they're gone to let loose explosions of eccentric jumping.
Forty-five years after it was made, Aureole is still surprising. I was noticing Taylor's fine sense of design in the sculptural curving torso and arm shapes, and the musical way he sets accelerations, decelerations, double time, triplets, and suspensions against Handel's reassuringly regular meters. The dance never looks balletic to me, but it often turns balleticism upside down, with sleek arms that crumple into sudden zigzags, jumps that grow heavier and deeper instead of higher, and grave, internally focused balances.
Esplanade, to Bach violin concertos, is also a pure-dance composition, in which the simplest steps and gestures gradually build into expressive suggestion and virtuosic dancing. Esplanade has evolved since its creation into a bouncy, almost slapstick company rout. The dramatic and storytelling possibilities are there from the outset, so there's not much mystery left to the transformation.
In the slow second movement, people stand still and look at one another, extend their hands without touching, gather in momentary clusters. The dancers do this with high drama now, instead of cryptic impassivity. In big numbers, they continually flash encouragement to one another, signaling to the audience that they're a happily coordinated group of daredevils.
The dance works up to a manic orchestrated chase, in which the dancers fall and scramble up, slide and tumble away, sprint into cannonball lifts. Taylor seems to have added even more potential collisions and noisy running-skid-falls to the choreography. The dancers grin through it all, and the audience screams.
The program also included the knock-down-drag-out farce Troilus and Cressida (reduced), set to Ponchielli's "Dance of the Hours," which the company had performed in August at Jacob's Pillow. Lisa Viola was again a triumphant, clueless heroine, and Robert Kleinendorst fought the Greek invaders bravely, with his purple velour pants around his ankles. The three Cupids, Julie Tice, Parisa Khobdeh, and Eran Bugge, looked as if they'd come from a Playboy Bunny audition.
I got a sharp attack of déja vu when I entered the theater at the Institute for Contemporary Art Thursday night for a performance of Faker, by the Minneapolis-based choreographer Morgan Thorson. Dancers were sprawled on the floor pretending to be waiting for things to get under way. People in blue coveralls were striding around the space, moving props and microphones, tinkering with the lights. We were way back in the 1960s, when avant-garde dancers thought that if they could rid themselves of all dance pretensions and behave like ordinary people, the audience would become democratized overnight, and dance could start up with a new agenda.

Dalma cooked with meat not something you can get anywhere in India. It is special Indian food recipe from the east. To be precise, this mutton recipe is from the state of Orissa. So basic recipe for dalma remains the same; it is dal recipe cooked with vegetables. When you add meat to it, it comes a gourmet Indian food recipe, more like a mutton curry recipe.
To try this Indian food recipe you need to choose a kind of dal or pulse (there are many options but we have chosen toor dal) to cook the base. You have to just add mutton to the recipe along with the vegetables to get the dalma recipe in perfect proportions.
Ingredients For Mutton Dalma:
1. Mutton 300 grams (cut into small pieces)
2. Too Dal or yellow 2 pigeon peas cups
3. Tomatoes 2 (slush)
4. Raw papaya half (cut into small pieces)
5. Potatoes 1 (cut into small pieces)
6. Striped pear gourd or Potola (cut into small pieces)
7. Onion 1 (chopped)
8. Green chillies 5 (minced)
9. Mustard seeds 1 teaspoon
10. Bay leaves 2
11. Cumin seeds 1 teaspoon
12. Dry red chillies 4
13. Red chilli powder 1 teaspoons
14. Turmeric powder 1 teaspoon
15. Mustard oil 2 tablespoon
16. Salt as per taste
Procedure For Making Mutton Dalma:
- Marinate mutton pieces with tomato juice, salt and minced green chillies for half an hour.
- Heat oil in a deep pan. It needs to be mustard oil for the flavour and the zing. Now season the oil with red chillies, bay leaves, mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Fry it for a minute.
- Then saute the onions in it until they turn light brown. Now add the mutton pieces and fry them for at least 2-4 minutes until the flesh colour disappears totally.
- Add all the vegetables to the pan and let them cook in the juices of mutton for 5-7 minutes. Add salt and all the powered spices and stir it well.
- Now transfer the the entire mutton vegetable curry to a pressure cooker and add the 2 cups of dal you have soaked earlier to it.
- Add 4 cups of water and cook for the duration of 4 whistles on medium flame.
You can serve mutton dalma as a side rice with plain rice or pulao.

From NextMagazine:
For the music video to Colton Ford's newest song "Let Me Live Again", directed by Marco Ovando, the sexy singer was inspired by the aesthetics of retro masculinity.
"[Marco] came to the table with the idea of playing homage to Tom of Finland and some of our favorite late '80s and '90s clips and I think he did it brilliantly," says Ford. "Everyone on his team was wonderful the models [Rogan Richards, Angelo Petheryotis] were amazing and all brought their substantial talents to the shoot."
"Working with Colton was so much fun," adds Ovando. "[I] loved that I was able to give homage to one of our most sexual icons."
The black-and-white, leather heavy clip was styled with Slick It Up and Rufskin. "Let Me Live Again" is a single from Ford's upcoming The Way I Am album that's due out in May.
You got that right! It is the big boy's Birthday! The biggest badass himself! Naw, he's a pussycat. LOL! Trust me!

List of Games for Playstation Vita
Most of you by now know about the new gaming device being released by Sony later this year. But for those who do not know what playstation Vita is, here is a little introduction.
Playstation Vita is the upcoming handheld gaming device developed by Sony (who else) and is the successor to the Playstation Portable. According to MSNBC,
Seven things to love about PlayStation Vita…The Screen..The Weight…The back touchpad…The dual thumb sticks…Cross-platform gaming…The games…The Price "
The price should not be one of the factor to love Playstation Vita. Its going to cost $249 for the normal version and $299 for the 3GS version, its better to say $300. Whereas the Nintendo 3DS now costs only $170 after cutting its price by one third due to its disappointing sales around the world. As a result of this price cut Sony is already under pressure of cutting its price for the PSVita.
With only $200 you can get the awesome slim Xbox 360 4GB Console. Reducing the price is a must to attract the consumers.
Following are the list of games for PS Vita : Click on the picture to take you directly to Sony's website.

When we visited the ancient city of Venice, Italy, in 2003, it was with the intention to view its art and architecture. Instead, I became enthralled by the myriad of handbags displayed so opulently in Venice's shops their sculptural nature was a revelation. Since I couldnt take them all home with me, I found a lasting way to bring their beauty into my life. - Shayla Su

Art Glass & Hand Blown Glass - Ceramics, Unique Handcrafted Artisan Jewelry - Welcome to the Red Elephant Galleryan online gallery featuring contemporary works by American artists and craftsmen. After many years of craft shows and open studios and discussions on how to justify the time (and money) spent doing it, the Red Elephant Gallery was born in the spring of 2004. Why the Red Elephant you say? Well, it all started on a spring afternoon in Santa Fe in 2001. After spending the day searching for treasures on the mountain road leading to Taos, we were discussing the days adventures over a glass of wine and watching these great elephant sculptures out of the hotel window. They were huge, and their heads were on pivots so that when the wind caught their ears their heads went up and down as if they were running across the fields. And it was windy!

Ethier seeks to reverse slide against left-handers
GLENDALE, Ariz. Maybe father doesn't throw best.
When Andre Ethier was a Little Leaguer, his naturally right-handed father taught himself to throw left-handed so he could throw batting practice to his left-handed hitting son, hopefully inoculating him against future problems when facing left-handed pitchers.
"I guess he didn't get it right," Ethier said with a laugh when reminded of that. "It didn't work, right?"
Byron Ethier's "south-pa" sessions worked for Andre's first three seasons in the big leagues. His splits were negligible in that time — he hit .281 against left-handed pitching (including an exemplary .351 as a rookie in 2006), .305 against right-handers.
Since 2009 (when he was under .200 against lefties), however, Ethier's splits have become increasingly troublesome. He has hit .217 against lefties in the past four seasons with a growing strikeout rate that reached one every 3.5 at-bats last season.
In the new age of statistical analysis, when any fan with an Internet connection can parse a player's performance a dozen ways between every at-bat, Ethier sees the left-right dichotomy in his production as something for others to pick at — but not something he needs to obsess over.
"My overall numbers were still fine, weren't they?" he asked of hitting .284 with 20 home runs and 89 RBIs overall last year. "It's just something people want to fixate on, I guess. Obviously, you can always get better, and that's one area where I could definitely get better.
"But it's like people like to find the bad in you and pick you apart. That's the one that's brought up with me."
Nonetheless, one of the first things Ethier did in the early days of spring training was sit down with new hitting coach Mark McGwire to formulate a plan to address the issue.
McGwire points to Ethier's success against left-handers early in his career and says he thinks it's a simple issue to get Ethier back to that production. The focus is on pitch selection, Ethier said — what he swings at against left-handers, not how he swings.
Said McGwire: "It's about a mindset that you have when you get in that box. It's about confidence. Confidence and mindset go hand in hand. It's just about reinforcing positive things. He's going to put the work in, and there's no question that he's going to be a lot better. A lot better."
The Dodgers are "counting on him being better, honestly," said Manager Don Mattingly, who said he has no plans to platoon Ethier. But he will use Jerry Hairston Jr. to give Ethier and fellow left-hander Carl Crawford an occasional day off against the left-handers most likely to give them trouble.
"You see certain things with certain types of lefties," Mattingly said. "Some of them he hits better. Some of them he has more trouble with. So we'll try to pick and choose the guys we give him a breather on — with him and Carl as well."
Nonroster catcher Eliezer Alfonzo was delayed in reporting to camp by a family issue. Now he apparently has contracted dengue fever, a virus that will prevent him from traveling for the next 5-7 days. When Alfonzo is able to travel, he will report to the Dodgers' minor-league camp. Double-A catcher Matt Wallach has joined major-league camp to give the Dodgers enough catchers to handle the 28 pitchers currently in camp. …
Mattingly said he plans to play Adrian Gonzalez, Luis Cruz and Hanley Ramirez deeper in games early in the Cactus League schedule to get them more at-bats before they leave for their World Baseball Classic teams March 3. "All those guys want three ABs so they'll have to play longer to get three ABs," Mattingly said. …
Clayton Kershaw is scheduled to start the Dodgers' first Cactus League game Saturday against the White Sox. He will throw two innings, depending on pitch count.

A really difficult situation. I was away from my faith for many years and been back for many years. But whilst away, never received Holy Communion. However, once back, one day, I was at Mass (Funeral) sitting alongside my sister and her two daughters. Just before communion, asked my sister, as I could clearly see my neices were about to go (and it troubled me). Asked her. Have they been to confession. She was annoyed but advised neices not to go. (They hadnt been to Mass for years) It bothered me ever since. Was, I right!! Recently at a Wedding, before getting into that situation, same neices there, spoke to them before we went in and said to them, "many times I donot receive Holy Communion because Ive not been to confession but went to alter with my arms crossed. Also told them, one of my greatest spiritual experiences was doing such, with my arms crossed. " The Priest said something to the effect as he made the sign of the cross on my forehead "May Jesus Christ be in your heart and in your soul". I immediately felt a complete spiritual experience as If I was being thanked for witnessing ie not receiving holy Communion when I could have done. Dont think I was in a state of mortal sin just had been at a party night before and had took too much wine and didnt feel right about it. Dont know if it helps. My neices not back but when they do attend they go to alter for that very special blessing. So my advice for what its worth, tell her. Also tell her about the importance of being able to witness thanks TJay Also maybe someone could answer re too much wine thanks again God Bless Sorry just last thought, its too easy to go up ailse to receive. We all need to think are we right to receive |

TORONTO – Neil Alberico vaulted from eighth place to third in the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda standings following a finely judged victory in Friday's Analytic Systems USF2000 Grand Prix of Toronto held at Exhibition Place.
Alberico controlled the race from the pole and refused to be flustered by no fewer than three full-course cautions which ensured a frantic one-lap dash to the finish line. Alberico (Cape Motorsports with Wayne Taylor Racing) held on for his third win of a topsy-turvy season which has also included three non-finishes in the six races held to date.
"For sure momentum played a big factor after winning the last race at Indy and then going into a break. You just have to keep on your toes and focus on what you have to do to make things happen," Alberico said. "The championship is not over until it's over. We had an unfortunate start to the season, but that's racing. The Cape Motorsports guys did a great job this weekend. There is not a lot of track time here and you have to maximize every lap of every session. I couldn't be happier about today's race and starting tomorrow on pole. I am going to try to score maximum points and keep moving forward."
Sixteen-year-old Frenchman Florian Latorre (JAY Motorsports) produced a sensational performance by moving past championship leader Scott Hargrove at the start and keeping the pressure on Alberico for the entire 25-lap race. Latorre, too, had his work cut out in holding off the attentions of another 16-year-old, Henrik Furuseth, until the final restart when Furuseth was overtaken by an opportunistic Danilo Estrela (Belardi Auto Racing). Estrela, from Goiania, Brazil, had qualified a disappointing 11th but gradually worked his way forward before securing his third podium finish of the season with a bold maneuver at Turn Eight on the final lap.
