The SPDC's hand-picked Dam Byan Byaut Kya ('Guerrilla Retaliation') units first began executing villagers in Nyaunglebin District in late 1998, but in recent years their activities declined and it appeared that the ouster of Prime Minister Khin Nyunt, who allegedly controlled them, may have ended their existence. Since July, however, villagers have reported their re-emergence in northern Nyaunglebin District under a new name - the Pyaung Shin ('to clear all'). Just to the north in Toungoo District a marginal Karen splinter group, calling itself the Nyein Chan Yay A'Pwet ('Peace Group') because it acts as a proxy army for the SPDC, has suddenly moved troops into a former SPDC army camp southeast of Toungoo, apparently under SPDC orders. Both of these moves threaten the security of villagers in northern Nyaunglebin and southern Toungoo Districts, and could be a reflection of more aggressive military strategies being developed by the SPDC since Khin Nyunt's ouster. Among villagers in the region, these developments are sparking fears of increased repression and a possible resumption of SPDC military offensives despite the junta's 'informal ceasefire' with the Karen National Union.
The situation observed in Nyaunglebin and Toungoo Districts (see Map 1 and Map 2 respectively) of northern Karen State has for many years been highly volatile. Even now, with the existence of the verbal ceasefire between the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) and the Karen National Union (KNU), forced labour and extortion is rife and thousands of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) live in hiding in the forests. The ceasefire has done little to help the lot of the villagers living in these areas. The SPDC has taken advantage of their relative freedoms of movement and activity under the ceasefire agreement, leading to recent developments in these two districts which threaten to make life for the villagers living there even harder.
Since its formation in September 1998, the Dam Byan Byaut Kya ('Guerrilla Retaliation Units') have terrorised the villagers of first Nyaunglebin and later also Toungoo District, seeking out and punishing any villagers suspected of having contact with the resistance. In the years following its creation, the Dam Byan Byaut Kya were very active in the plains of Nyaunglebin and Toungoo Districts and KHRG has identified as many as ten distinct units operating in the two districts [see "Enduring Hunger and Repression; Food Scarcity, Internal Displacement, and the Continued Use of Forced Labour in Toungoo District" (KHRG#2004-01, 27/9/04), and "Death Squads and Displacement" (KHRG #99-04, May 1999)]. They move in small sections of five to ten men typically by night, travelling from village to village brutally executing any villagers accused of supporting the KNU/KNLA. Many of the villagers were horribly tortured prior to being killed, and their bodies mutilated or decapitated after. The past few years have seen a decrease in the number of executions being committed by the Dam Byan Byaut Kya . In this time, their activities have come to resemble those of regular SPDC Army battalions, in that they appear more interested in exacting forced labour and extorting money from the villagers. In Toungoo District, KHRG field researchers have been reporting that the Dam Byan Byaut Kya are no longer active and have largely been amalgamated back into the regular SPDC Army battalions from which they were originally selected.
However, reports that KHRG is now receiving claim that the Dam Byan Byaut Kya have recently resumed activity in the plains of Nyaunglebin District, particularly in Mone (Mu) township to the north. According to a KHRG field researcher from the region, they re-emerged in July 2005, leaving behind the name of Dam Byan Byaut Kya and adopting the new moniker of Pyaung Shin ('to clear all'). The name change may be to distance them from deposed former Prime Minister Lieutenant General Khin Nyunt, who was believed to exercise direct control over the Dam Byan Byaut Kya . In the days following his arrest in October 2004, the SPDC dismantled the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) that he had commanded, arrested all of the officers deemed loyal to him, and tore down all images of him on public display in an apparent attempt to not only purge him from his position but also his memory from the record books. It remains unclear whether the renamed Pyaung Shin units are to operate under the newly reorganised Intelligence services or under the Army.
This somewhat disturbing development must be watched closely as it may signify a resurgence of Dam Byan Byaut Kya , albeit now under the name of Pyaung Shin . A member of the KNLA told KHRG that he expects the Pyaung Shinto be used as additional security for regular SPDC Army soldiers whenever they are out on operation, rather than acting as the counter-insurgency force that they once were. The evidence at hand however is not yet sufficient to make a statement either way. In any case, the re-emergence of a counter-insurgency force specifically targetted at civilians under the prevailing ceasefire, however fragile it may be, strengthens the argument that the SPDC sees its strongest enemy as the civilian population and intends to use the ceasefire as cover to step up its attacks on civilians. The resumption of military activity by the Pyaung Shin makes it clear that the SPDC has no commitment to the terms of the ceasefire or to seeking lasting peace in Karen State. Instead, it appears that the regime is primarily concerned with retaining power by abusing authority and continuing to terrorise and repress the civilian population.
A second worrying development also took place in July 2005; this time further north in Toungoo District. On July 25 th 2005, commander Kyaw Thu lead thirty of his soldiers from the Nyein Chan Yay A'Pwet ('Peace Group'), a small marginalised Karen splinter group which surrendered to the SPDC in 1997, into the Tha Pyay Nyunt Army camp in Tantabin (Taw Ta Tu) township with the intention of establishing themselves there. Tha Pyay Nyunt has been the site of an SPDC Army camp for many years, although it is not an area in which the Peace Group has ever operated before. It is just north of Mone (Mu) township in Nyaunglebin District, which is where the Pyaung Shin have re-emerged. The Group has largely been restricted to the areas in and around Pya Sakan and Leit Tho where they have been permitted to operate various businesses, most of which are involved in the logging trade. This effort marks the first time that they have ever ventured so far south. The only other time that they have ever entered the hills in force was shortly following their defection in 1997, when they burned a number of villages in Than Daung township that were not under SPDC control [for more information, refer to the previously published KHRG reports,"Enduring Hunger and Repression; Food Scarcity, Internal Displacement, and the Continued Use of Forced Labour in Toungoo District" (KHRG#2004-01, 27/9/04), and "Peace Villages and Hiding Villages; Roads, Relocations and the Campaign for Control in Toungoo District" (KHRG #2000-05, 15/10/00)] . Since that time, the Peace Group has not been militarily active. The fact that they are now establishing camps in areas where they have never operated before, and where the KNLA remains quite active, is both unexpected and cause for concern. This move would not be possible without SPDC approval and backing. It may indicate that though few in number and militarily ill-equipped, they are soon to become militarily active again - either on their own, which is highly improbable, or as a proxy army to control the local civilians on behalf of the SPDC, or to assist the SPDC in an impending offensive. Similar moves by splinter groups in the past have been followed by forced recruitment drives to beef up their numbers so that they can 'control' an area for the SPDC, which usually means extorting forced labour, money and materials out of the civilian population to fill the needs of the SPDC military and carrying out reprisals against civilians when ordered to do so by SPDC officers. Whether this will occur in this case bears further observation. This latest move by the Nyein Chan Yay A'Pwet could be part of the same strategic reshuffle which has seen the re-emergence of the Pyaung Shin force mentioned above.
Though no definite evidence exists as yet, the feeling among the Karen population, the KNU, and various independent observers is that a large scale offensive may well be imminent during the dry season which is now beginning. Since the beginning of the ceasefire, the SPDC has taken full advantage of the lack of fighting to build many new camps, move in new units, resupply the existing ones, and build a wider network of roads linking them. All of this work has been carried out through the use of forced labour. The board is now set with the soldiers in place, their camps stocked, and the roads built to facilitate their rapid mobilisation. Should the SPDC launch a large scale offensive, it would shatter the tenuous balance which has been established in some areas between internally displaced villagers, various opposing Karen forces, and the SPDC military, and would likely force tens of thousands of villagers to flee further into the forests or to attempt to cross into Thailand as refugees.

Body Lift After Weight Loss
A common side effect of major weight loss, either naturally or via surgical treatment, is lingering excess skin and pockets of fat. Many people end up frustrated after achieving their weight loss goals when they find that their skin has lost its elasticity and no longer contours to their body size. Body contouring encompasses lifting procedures on all parts of the body, from the face and neck to the limbs and torso. If you have lost weight recently and experience sagging, excess skin, you may be a good candidate for this procedure.
Body lifting procedures involve surgical removal of excess skin under general anesthesia. Often patients require surgical lifting in several areas, and a staged approach with two or three surgeries will be necessary to ensure safety for the patient.
Dr. Laura Cooper is a female plastic surgeon who is double board certified in both Surgery and Plastic Surgery. Dr. Cooper specializes in both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery and has vast surgical experience. She is known for her precise and beautiful body contouring.

A former southwest Missouri high school teacher has been charged in a child sex case involving a 16-year-old female student.
The Springfield News-Leader reports 34-year-old William Herrington of Republic was charged Monday with felony sodomy, child molestation and sexual contact with a student.
Ash Grove police say Herrington sent inappropriate messages to the girl's Twitter account, and had sexual contact with her in the school's library storage closet and at his home in October.
Superintendent Kyle Collins suspended the Ash Grove High School social studies teacher after the girl's mother contacted him in October. Herrington is no longer employed by the district.
It wasn't immediately clear if Herrington has an attorney.

Reviewed by Gail M. Burns, June, 1999
You have got to go and see the set for this show, and that means that you have got to go and see the show because the set itself, just sitting there, is nothing. You have got to go and see it in action, under the equally awe-inspiring lighting.
The show itself? Well, you know, Holmes, Watson, damsel in distress, death, greed, betrayal, etc, etc, etc. A good mystery. A real spine-chiller. Yadda, yadda, yadda. But that set! Those lights!
And that is actually a very smart way to present a 21 year old pot-boiler. If the production values weren't so spectacular "The Crucifer of Blood" might garner the polite crowds of regulars and a few folks who love a good mystery. But with that set and those lights the BTF has a real "must-see" show on their hands.
That set is by Rob Odorisio, who also designed the astoundingly beautiful set for BTF's "An Empty Plate at the Cafe du Grand Boeuf" last season. The set for "Grand Boeuf" was so beautiful that you could sit and look at it for hours, marveling in its intricacy and perfection. His set for "Crucifer" made me sea sick when I first walked in. Its amazements are completely hidden. It doesn't come alive until the actors are on it.
While Odorisio's set is a veiled mystery when you first see it, Brian Nason's lighting magic is already at work. I mentioned that I felt sea sick looking at the set before the play began. That is because Nason has it bathed in light like water - shifting blues and greens and yellows. The set itself is not only raked, but it is at an angle - highest up left and lowest down right. I was quite shocked when the action began and this underwater world of light and cloth, this barren, undulating void, became the Red Fort at Agra, India, all beige and brown and white in a twinkling of the eye.
When you set is in the shape of an enormous cross - severely raked and angled - good direction becomes essential. Christopher Renshaw has provided this in spades. He moves his actors and props smoothly and safely over this treacherous landscape, working with the design elements rather than against them.
I hope I am not giving the impression that the actors and the play are just occupying this splendid space, going through their paces. No spectacle can fill the void created by poor acting or a shoddy script. While "The Crucifer of Blood" is formulaic, it is also entertaining. I wouldn't dare tell you anything of the plot, or, God forbid, "who dun it"! Go see it and Holmes will explain that it is all elementary.
As a Holmes fan, I took a while to warm up to Stephen Spinella's portrayal of the great detective, but by the end I was sold. David Adkins played a young Doctor Watson - no whiskers or "by Jove''s - with tenderness, bringing a human side to Holmes endlessly analytical approach. Joanna Going is beautiful and powerful as Irene St.Claire, the obligatory damsel in distress whose plight sends Holmes and Watson on this adventure. And Gary Sloane provides welcome comic relief as Inspector Lestrade.
Alas, James Warwick (Major Alistair Ross), J. Paul Boehmer (Captain Neville St. Claire), and Alex Draper (Jonathan Small) are saddled with cumbersome old-age wigs, make-up and trappings for much of the play. Draper is supposed to be one-legged in his dotage, but only manages to appear that way some of the time. It confuses the mystery when the "one-legged man" has two legs.
Before you pack up grandma and the kids to see this show, I should warn you that it does depict the lowest aspects of human behavior. In the first scene alone there are three on-stage murders. Shots are fired throughout, and enough mineral oil fog is generated to sock in a major airport. Holmes shoots cocaine and an entire scene takes place in a London opium den. The show would certainly be frightening to small children, and you should stay at home if gunfire or the open use of narcotics disturbs you.
But that set! Those lights! I would risk being offended just to see them. Trust me, it is worth it.
"The Crucifer of Blood" runs through July 10 on the Main Stage of the Berkshire Theatre Festival in Stockbridge. The show runs two hours and forty-five minutes with one intermission. Call 413-298-5576 for tickets and information.

On Friday the DHS Infrastructure Security Compliance Division (ISCD) updated a number of their Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) program reflecting the implementation of the new Chemical Security Assessment Tool (CSAT) 2.0. The big news is that as of Saturday, October 1st, ISCD is re-instating the Top Screen submission requirements for facilities that have new inventories (in the last 60 days) of DHS chemicals of interest (COI) [NOTE: this re-instatement date was actually included in the initial CSAT 2.0 Federal Register announcement.]
CFATS Landing Page
The CFATS landing page included a brief note about the re-instatement of the To Screen submission requirement. They noted that:
"On October 1, 2016, the requirement to submit Top-Screens will be reinstated. Chemical facilities of interest that have not previously submitted a Top-Screen, but which have come into possession of reportable amounts of COI, must submit a Top-Screen within 60 days. Additionally, in the coming months, DHS will be reaching out directly to CFATS chemical facilities that have previously submitted Top-Screens to DHS and require that they submit a new Top-Screen using CSAT 2.0. However, facilities may choose to proactively resubmit a Top-Screen once the new tool is available and prior to receiving the individual notification."
This same verbiage was included on a number of other CFATS related pages.
Interestingly, the list of 'Key Documents' on the bottom of the pages does not include the three new manuals that I mentioned on Friday morning.
CFATS Knowledge Center
The CFATS Knowledge Center added two new items in the 'Latest News' section. The first provided a link to another new document in the 'Documentation' section; the CFATS Tiering Methodology Fact Sheet (more on this later). The second item is a very lengthy discussion entitled "Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards Program Reinstates Top-Screen Requirement with Release of CSAT 2.0". It would have been nice to see this as a separate document that would remain available on the web site for a longer period of time.
CFATS Tiering Methodology
Most of the changes to the Tiering Methodology page were discussed here Friday. The new item on Saturday was a link to the fact sheet mentioned above. Actually it is the same document but a different link. Why ISCD made the decision to store this document on two different pages, I have no idea.
This fact sheet is the first time that DHS has provided any kind of information about how the risk analysis process is used to determine if an individual chemical facility presents the high-risk of terrorist attack that would require coverage by the CFATS program and how the covered facilities are placed in their Tier rankings.
There is not really anything here that anyone with a background in security risk analysis would not have already guessed was included in the risk analysis process. I would bet that most of this was included in the old risk analysis process. The details of the analysis process are still classified, but this new fact sheet does provide some low level of insight into the new process.

Considering the circumstances, Wednesday was a banner day for Real Salt Lake.
On a day when it could've lost any combination of players involving Ned Grabavoy, Collen Warner, Robbie Russell and Chris Schuler in the expansion draft, it went virtually unscathed.
RSL didn't escape entirely, as the Portland Timbers nabbed both David Horst and Robbie Findley in the expansion draft, but they were minimal losses at best. Horst spent most of the year on loan, and Findley had already informed the club he wouldn't be returning next year.
All things considered, Real actually improved itself Wednesday by acquiring Arturo Alvarez from Portland in a post-draft trade.
The San Jose midfielder was picked in the 10th and final round of the expansion draft by Portland, but was traded to Real Salt Lake just a few hours later for a second-round pick in the 2011 SuperDraft. It was the pick RSL acquired in the Carey Talley trade with Chivas USA a few years ago.
"We're stoked to get him. The guy has obviously done really well against us. He's a dynamic left-footed attacking player," said RSL general manager Garth Lagerwey. "We've lost Findley, but we've added Arturo, and if we can tie up Paulo Jr. and (Alvaro Saborio), we're probably better at that position than we were when the day started, and I'm amazed to be saying that considering we lost two players."
Lagerwey said negotiations to keep Saborio long term are ongoing, but he expects a resolution next week. Paulo Jr. is on loan from Miami FC of the United Soccer Leagues, and Lagerwey is hopeful to sign him long term as well.
Alvarez said he can't wait to join the team on Jan. 20 when it kicks off training camp in preparation for the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Champions League.
"It's a perfect situation for me. We all know how good of a team Real Salt Lake is, and to go in there and be a part of that now is great," said Alvarez. "It's always good to surround yourself with good players, and hopefully I can add to that team."
Even though Findley is a U.S. National Team forward who Real wanted back, Findley informed the team earlier this week he's going to pursue playing opportunities overseas. According to reports, he has a trial set up with Randers FC in Denmark — the same team Yura Movsisyan signed with last season.
By drafting the speedy striker, Portland is obviously hoping to convince Findley to stay in MLS. If that doesn't pan out initially, the Timbers retain his rights if he returns to MLS.
Realistically, RSL has been making contingency plans for months, anticipating Findley's departure. It acquired fellow striker Paulo Jr. on loan in September, and the Brazilian striker showed flashes of brilliance during his brief stint with the club. RSL thinks so highly of Paulo Jr., he was one of the 11 players it protected for the expansion draft.
Horst spent most of the 2010 season on loan with the Puerto Rico Islanders in the USL, and he was very impressive. He was a big reason why the Islanders won the USL title and why they qualified for the CONCACAF Champions League group play.
RSL drafted Horst in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft, but he was stuck behind Nat Borchers and Jamison Olave on the depth chart and rarely played.
"He's a very good young player. Ton of talent, ton of potential. We certainly wish him the best," said Lagerwey. "He's behind two defender-of-the-year candidates here, so it's hard to begrudge him the opportunity to launch his career in MLS with an expansion team."
Salt Lake was allowed to move another player back to its protected list once Horst was taken in the fifth round, which ended up being Warner. Findley was plucked away one round later, putting RSL at the maximum number of players it could lose in the expansion draft.
Portland had the first pick in the expansion draft, and to no one's surprise it selected FC Dallas midfielder Dax McCarty. Most were shocked that Dallas did not protect its 23-year-old rising star, and Portland jumped at the chance to select him. The Timbers traded McCarty to D.C. United several hours later.
Real Salt Lake fans will remember that it was McCarty's goal at Rio Tinto Stadium in the playoffs that proved to be the series clincher. Vancouver snagged Seattle forward Sanna Nyassi with its first-round pick.
Seattle, Dallas, Columbus, Real Salt Lake, Chicago and Chivas USA each lost the maximum number of players in the expansion draft. Los Angeles, Houston, New York and New England didn't lose anybody.

An Italian journalist and founder of La Repubblica newspaper, Eugenio Scalfari, had asked Pope Francis in a letter if God forgives atheists/non-believers.
Responding to him, Pope Franics said the key issue for non-believers is that of "obeying their consciences" when faced with choices of good or evil.
Pope Francis wrote:
You ask me if the God of the Christians forgives those who don't believe and who don't seek the faith.
I start by saying – and this is the fundamental thing – that God's mercy has no limits if you go to him with a sincere and contrite heart. The issue for those who do not believe in God is to obey their conscience.
Sin, even for those who have no faith, exists when people disobey their conscience."

GF Data®, which tracks the deal activity of 194 private equity firms in the middle market, recently released its Q4 2014 report -- and the trends we're seeing may be interesting to business owners who are considering a sale.
For some time, the market has been "all push and no pull," according to GF Data. In other words, potential sellers had been lulled into believing that the seller's market is here to stay, so they resisted the pull of favorable macro conditions and tended to sell based only on individual circumstances.
That seems to be changing, based on GF Data's Q4 report. The market is now experiencing some "pull," with small businesses and less strong performers entering the market first. GF Data predicts that larger firms will follow suit in the first half of 2015.

This year, the structure of the writing process for Waa-Mu is undergoing some exciting changes. We are still writing a full-length book musical, but this year, we're looking for you to help us decide what The 88th Annual Waa-Mu Show should be about! This will come in the form of a PITCHING PROCESS.
Who should pitch?
Anyone can pitch a concept for this year's Waa-Mu show! We strongly encourage you to work in groups of 2-4, although you are free to work alone if you prefer. Note that the expectation is that the group whose pitch is selected for this year's show will become the "Writing Coordinators" for the year-long process. If not everyone on your pitch team would like to hold this responsibility, that is okay! But you should have at least 1-2 people who are interested in holding that position on your team.
The Writing Coordinators will work with the Co-Chairs to lead the artistic structure and vision of the writing room. The responsibilities include mentoring younger students, having an eye on overall structure, and developing character and plot. Writing material is a plus but not required. (Note: This job will require a lot of hours and focus. If chosen, Writing Coordinators will not be eligible to be cast in the show.)
What should a pitch include?
We want Waa Mu to be a reflection of our community, which is why we want YOUR ideas. However, we also want to make sure this includes representation for as many people as possible. You must be prepared to answer all of the following questions verbally, and have them in writing, as well:
- What is your show about? Give us a loose plot overview. This doesn't have to be fully fleshed out.
- A title, or a list of possible titles
- Is it an original show? An adaptation of something? Both are welcome!
- The style of show/music. We'd love to hear what existing musicals have inspired this choice
- Why do you love this story?
- How does your pitch reflect the diversity of our campus community and larger world?
- How do you plan to include as many people as possible? How do you plan to utilize the ensemble?
- Why is your show relevant to our community today?
- Bring a sample song, a sample scene, or a written paragraph that details your favorite moment in the show. (Does NOT have to be a show-ready final draft)
Disclaimer: The job of a Writing Coordinator is to be the go-to person for plot and structure, not to write the entire show. If you are less secure about writing, you will have help!
When/How will we pitch?
The first week of fall quarter, the Co-Chairs and Stephen will convene a panel of faculty mentors to hear the pitches presented. Think like a Shark Tank presentation! Come prepared to speak (enthusiastically!) about your idea and making sure you cover all the questions listed above. The panel will likely ask questions about your idea and your team. We hope to select this year's theme by the end of that week.
Sign ups for pitch times will come out in late summer!
Why pitches this year?
We want this year to be an opportunity for students to become the creative driving force of the show! We want the show that's picked to be a relevant, fresh story that the entire community can be passionate about. If you are someone who loves to generate stories and ideas, this is the perfect opportunity for you!
Questions? Reach out to email@example.com! We can't wait to meet with y'all!

Pesticides in Fruits and Vegetables: What to Do
Alyssa Newcomb
ABC News
June 14, 2011
Natural Society note: Natural Society recommends purchasing locally grown organic produce in order to avoid toxic pesticides.
You know you should eat your fruits and vegetables, but with a "dirty dozen" list of pesticide-contaminated produce out today and the recent e.coli outbreak linked to supposedly safer organic produce, what's a would-be healthy eater to do?
Editor's note: It has since been found that organic produce was not the source of the e.coli outbreak, and should be consumed regularly.
The answer from health experts — and even the people who did the study on pesticide residue in produce — is still the same: Eat those fruits and vegetables, but get them as clean as you can.
The importance of washing produce before eating or cooking it was driven home today by the release of a "dirty dozen" list of fruits and vegetables that tested positive for the highest concentration of pesticides.
"Pesticides are toxic. They are designed to kill things and most are not good for you" said Sonya Lunder, senior analyst at the Environmental Working Group, which released the study. The non-profit organization attempts to raise awareness about pollutants and dangerous chemicals
Apples, a staple in many refrigerators, topped the list with 98 percent testing positive for a pesticide and 92 percent testing positive for two or more pesticides. Coming in second was celery, with more than 95 percent testing positive for at least one pesticide.
Others on the list of shame include: strawberries, peaches, spinach, nectarines, grapes, sweet bell peppers, potatoes, blueberries, lettuce and kale or collard greens.
The benefits of fruits and vegetables are well known, however Environmental Working Group spokesman Alex Formuzis says the pesticides they're coated with have been linked to nervous system toxicity, cancer, hormone system disruption and IQ deficits in children.
But even though some pesticides were still found on the produce after they were washed and peeled, Formuzis said the benefits of fruits and vegetables still outweigh the problems associated with some other snack foods.
"If it's a choice between an apple and potato chips, choose the apple," he said.
Pesticides, which are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency, are used to protect produce from bugs and also extend its supermarket shelf life.
The Alliance for Food and Farming, a trade group that opposes the new study, says consumers should keep eating the fruits and vegetables in the so-called "dirty dozen."
"Not only are farmers of fruits and vegetables meeting requirements set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for pesticide residues, but their crops are shown to have either no residues at all or with residues 10 times to 100 times below already stringent safety limits," said Teresa Thorne of the AFF.
The Environmental Working Group agrees that eating from the "dirty dozen" is better than not eating fruits and vegetables at all, but suggested that when possible, these items should be bought organic.
A portion of Americans do worry and choose to buy organic produce, which has long trumpeted itself as a healthier, albeit costlier alternative. However, after a deadly E.Coli outbreak linked to organic sprouts recently killed 36 and sickened 3,000 in Germany, is going organic really any safer?
According to Joan Salge Blake, a registered dietician and spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association, the answer is simple: Eat your fruits and vegetables, whether they're organic or not.
"I don't want people being afraid of eating mother nature's finest," she said. "Fruits and vegetables can help reduce the risk of so many diseases and fight obesity."
Blake says the best guarantee for keeping produce safe is to make sure it's thoroughly washed.
The Food and Drug Administration offers several tips for cleaning both fresh and organic produce, including:
Wash fruits and vegetables under running water just before eating or cooking.
Use a brush to scrub produce with hard surfaces, such as melons and cucumbers.
Cut away any damaged or bruised areas on fruits and vegetables before preparing or eating.
"Everyone has a job to do — from the farmer to the person taking the produce to the store to the people selling the produce. And when you bring your produce home, you have a job to do too," Blake said.

Pesticides in Fruits and Vegetables: What to Do:
Wash and soak in 2% Tincture of iodine in the proportion of 2 mls for each liter of water for an hour, rinse and voila!
Thank you for your great article informing the public of the danger of contaminated fruits and vegetables by standard farming practices.
Your article may have been published before the retracted report that organic produce was not the source of the e.coli outbreak.
From time to time you may need to include a foot note correcting previous publication as in this case.

Many people have considered the incredible possibility of being able to open a home based business for themselves. You can become your own boss, and work when you want. Making this dream a reality is tough, but it can be accomplished. Read on to find out how.
If your work from home business is going to be your first source of income, make sure to build a Plan B just in case. This is important to always have a secondary plan you can put into action in the case of a disaster. If you have a plan in place you can switch to it when things are going wrong for you.
Going above and beyond what is expected will show your customers that you care. Pack a free gift with their purchase, or include a thank-you note expressing your appreciation for their business. Two things people love are free gifts and appreciation. They will feel that they are not being used.
It's healthy to take short breaks over the course of your work day. Don't use your break time to take care of complicated personal matters, however. Not being self-disciplined enough can lead to a loss in profits and missing important deadlines or opportunities. Take regular breaks and throw in a small exercise routine to keep the body active.
Send out an email announcement to your loved ones and colleagues when you start your home business enterprise. Make sure there is a freebie or some type of discount offered when you start your business. Ask them to promote your business with others they know. Advertising by word of mouth is something that's very effective.
If you are interested in starting a home business enterprise, but not sure what type of business you want to start, the Internet can be a great resource for business ideas that have been proven to work. Be careful, though, of the online scams. There are a lot of places that will offer you basic information that can be found elsewhere for free, or is simply unusuable because it doesn't tell you anything you don't know. Some scams lure their victims into paying for access to high-quality work that does not really exist while others may provide fake online classes. Anything that sounds like a fantasy generally is.
Find the niche for your business. Know ahead of time that the persons you are marketing to will benefit from your services. When you follow through, you'll see selling is a lot easier. See what friends and business associates think about your business niche. You can get valuable referrals from these people too. Go to trade shows or conventions to learn more about your niche.
A home business enterprise is a real business, so don't go charging in without a business plan. You can make adjustments to this business plan as needed. You could also start another one from scratch if you see it is not working. The business plan you write up serves as the backbone and keeps you focused as you get started. It also serves as a map to where you want to be down the road. Your business game plan should be rehashed every once in awhile.
Soliciting support from your family is crucial to the success of your new home business. Owning your work from home business can be stressful, and it can take up much of your time. Your family must not only support you, but they must also allow you time alone for your work.
As you can see, it will require a little bit of work and dedication to make the jump. If you can manage to pull through and stick to the plan, you will be able to accurately represent your dream in the company's image and create something that is long-lasting and profitable over the years.

Very well done image!
An outstanding image of a vintage structure!
Thank you, Will.
Boy, does this take me back to my childhood when I spent the summers on a farm. This looks like a tobacco barn where I used to play and help "put in tobacco". I love it because so many of the old barns and farm buildings are being destroyed across the South. The old buildings, like this barn, were full of character and great stories. I love it! :)
Christopher, I am intrigued by old buildings. This one is so picturesque... The surrounding glory of nature combines beautifully... for a great photograph. Shine on, anne

Ibtihaj Muhammad speaks out about the SXSW incident where she was asked to remove her hijab.
Get breaking news and SI's biggest stories instantly. Download the new Sports Illustrated app (iOS or Android) and personalize your experience by following your favorite teams and SI writers.
Ibtihaj Muhammad, a member of the 2016 U.S. Olympic fencing team, addressed an incident when she was asked to remove her hijab for a credential photo at the SXSW conference in Austin, Texas last month.
Muhammad will be the first American to compete in a hijab, a Muslim headcovering. In addition to training for the Olympics, Muhammad, 30, runs a fashion business geared towards Muslim women.
"At South by Southwest, I went to check in and the volunteer let me know that he couldn't take my picture unless I removed my 'hat.' Those were his exact words," Muhammad says in a video for the Players Tribune. "My initial reaction was to laugh. I thought maybe he was kidding at first, but he continued, even after I explained it was for religious reasons, he kept saying, 'Well, everyone needs to remove their hat,' essentially like I wasn't special."
She requested to speak with his supervisor before being reminded that she was in Texas.
"And I let him know that's not an excuse. Where you live is not an excuse to be ignorant and and be culturally insensitive and offend people," Muhammad says.
"You have to shrug off those moments because they're commonplace when they really shouldn't be, but at the same time, I can't allow them to affect me and hold me back."
SXSW issued an apology where they called the request "insensitive" and embarrassing.
Watch Muhammad's video below:
The 2016 Olympics are set to begin on Aug. 5 in Rio de Janeiro.

Time Bars (TB) is the period of time allowed for filling a claim to court for the protection of civil rights or interests (art. 256 Civil Code of Ukraine).
The duration of general TB is three years (art. 257 CCU).
For separate types of claims the law can establish special TB: shorter or longer as compared to the general TB (art. 258 CCU).
The TB established by the law can be prolonged but it cannot be reduced on the agreement of the parties. The agreement of the TB prolongation is to be concluded in a written form (art. 259 CCU).
The TB shall be calculated based on general rules for determining terms (art. 260 CCU). The order of determining the terms of the TB cannot be changed on the agreement of the parties. The calculation of the TB shall begin from the day following the day of the corresponding calendar date or the occurrence of the event connected with its beginning (art.253 CCU). The term defined in years shall expire on the corresponding month and day of the last year of the term. The term defined in months shall expire on the corresponding day of the last month of the term. If the term defined in months expires on a month that does not have the corresponding day, the day of termination shall the last day of this month. If the last day of the term falls on a day-off, holiday or another non-working day, determined on conformity to the law at the place of committing a certain action, the day of expiration of the term shall be the first working day (art. 254 CCU). If the term was established before the commitment of the action, it can be committed before the expiration of the last day of the term. If this action must be committed at the institution, the term shall expire on the time when certain operations in this institution terminate according to the established rules. Written applications and notices mailed to a post office before the end of the last day of the term shall be considered mailed in time (art. 255 CCU).
The calculation of the TB shall begin from the day when a person became aware of the violation of his right or of the person who violated it. As concerns the obligations with defined deadline, the calculation of the TB shall begin after the expiration of the date of performance. For the obligations with non-defined deadline or defined as the moment of demand, the calculation of the TB shall begin from the day when the right of dement to execute obligations arises with the creditor. If a grace period is given to the debtor for meeting the demands, the TB shall begin after the expiration of such period. In case of recourse liability, the TB shall begin from the day of fulfillment of the main obligation (art. 261 CCU).
The substitution of parties in the obligation shall not change the order of calculation and the duration of the TB (art. 262 CCU). The duration of the TB can be terminated (art. 263 CCU).
The duration of the TB shall be interrupted by committing an action by the person, which gives evidence of the recognition of his debt or another obligation, or in case of taking an action by the person against one of several debtors, or if the subject of the suit is only a part of the claim, to which the plaintiff is entitled. After the interruption, the TB shall be counted anew. The time that passed before the interruption of the TB shall not be counted in the new term (art. 264 CCU).
Dismissal of the claim shall not terminate the TB. If the court should dismiss a claim in a criminal proceedings, the period from the day of bringing of a suit till day of the court decision, by which the suit was dismissed, coming into force shall not be included in the TB. If the remaining part of the term is less than six months, it shall be prolonged to six months (art. 265 CCU).
After the expiration of the TB in connection with the principal claim it shall be considered that the TB has also expired in connection with ancilliary suit (award of a penalty, recovery against mortgaged property, etc.) (art. 266 CCU).
The person who satisfies obligations after the expiration of the TB shall have no right to claim the recovery of the satisfaction, even if at the moment of doing so such person was not aware of the expiration of the TB. The application for the protection of a civil right or interest must be accepted by the court for consideration irrespective of the expiration of the TB. The TB is used by the court only on the application of the party in a dispute submitted before the adjudication. The expiration of the TB, the use whereof being declared by a party in a dispute, shall be the grounds for dismissal of action. If the court should recognize the reasons for missing the deadline a reasonable excuse, the violated right shall be subject to protection (art. 267 CCU).
As far as the judgment on the merits is accepted by the court of the first instance, the court of appeal shall only verify the legitimacy and relevancy of the court decision (art. 303 CPC of Ukraine), the petition of using the TB can be considered if it was submitted during the period of considering the case by the court of the first instance.

There is fun to be had this coming summer at camps offered through ISU Extension and Outreach's 4-H program. Adventures in nature are only part of the experience young people will have at 4-H camps offered across the state and at the Iowa 4-H Center in Madrid — they'll also have fun, make friends and learn.
Statewide themed camps
Four statewide themed camps for middle school-age youth will be offered at the Iowa 4-H Center. Depending on the camp selected, youth will explore animals and veterinary science, develop leadership skills, discover science and robotics, or learn how to grow and use local fresh fruits and vegetables for better health.
Bill Beckley, Iowa 4-H camping program specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach, said Iowa State faculty will enrich the campers' experience. "Iowa State researchers and faculty are contributing to the educational components of the camps so middle school youth can have in-depth experiences with the topics," he said. "At the same time, campers will enjoy all the aspects of camp – the outdoors, recreation and social interactions."
The themed camps are open to any Iowa kid, 4-H and non 4-H, between fifth and ninth grades. Details about the camps and how to register will be available later this winter on the Iowa 4-H Camping website at http://www.extension.iastate.edu/4h/camping. Each state-level camp will accommodate 60 to 100 campers.
County and regional Iowa 4-H camps
In addition to the camps scheduled at the Iowa 4-H Center, a listing of 4-H day and residential camps conducted locally around the state will be listed on the Iowa 4-H camping website. They will be added to the website as they are scheduled. To learn more about Iowa 4-H camps, contact Bill Beckley at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit the website, http://www.extension.iastate.edu/4h/camping.

I am really enjoying working on the Anniversaries of the Heart designs, figuring out how I can personalize the family members represented in each block. On the Snow Garden piece, I omitted stitches in the flowers in the bird's beak to look more like shamrocks.
In the Valentine Rose block, I changed the design on the door to look more like the number five, to represent our house number. The first letter of my dad's name is stitched on the heart above the house.
I did A Wish for You to honor my husband. The Irish flag and verse, the year that we met, and his childhood nickname are all on the block.
You can read more about the personalizations and see more pics on my blog, Notes from Blue Hen Hollow.
