Product Description
sunflower oil refining cost
According to the difference of alkali thickness and oil temperature, the process of 1-20TPD Small Scale Oil Refining Lineis divided into two types, one is low temperature with thick alkali (its initial temperature is 20 ~ 30 ℃, alkali thickness is 20 ~ 30 Be) and another one is high temperature with light alkali (its initial temperature is 75 ℃, alkali thickness is 10 to 16 Be). The former of sunflower oil refining costis generally applied and the latter is mainly used for crude oil which has low acid value, light clour and lustre, and less impurity.
1. What is the soybean oil pretreatment of 1-20TPD Small Scale Oil Refining Line?

Mixed oil→Filter→Negative pressure evaporation → Crude oil
what's refining?
Refining is an essential process for a complete oil pressing line because there are still some impurities, such as phospholipids, FFA, pigment, odor, etc. in crude oil. Shandong Microwave Machinery Co.,Ltd can provide you professional technical support and fabricate high quality oil making machines as per your specific requirements. Meanwhile, Shandong Microwave Machinery Co.,Ltd can provide you turnkey oil refining solution.
What's the refining oil production line?
1. Crude Oil Degumming: Gums in crude oil are removed by hydration with the help of phosphoric acid.
2. Neutralization: Free fatty acids are neutralized by using sodium hydroxide and convert them into soap. Additional impurities are also removed by LDorption on soap.
3. Bleaching: During bleaching, unwanted pigments are LDorbed physically and oil will become much clearer.
4. Deodorization: It is used to remove unacceptable odors by steam distillation, the odoriferous compound are stripped off with the help of live injected steam into heated oil under high vacuum pressure.
5. Dewaxing (necessary for cold areas)
Some kinds of oil like sunflower oil, maize germ or corn oil contains waxes inside, if these impurities are not removed, the oil will freeze easily under low temperature, thus effecting oil quality and appearance. so this process is necessary in extremely cold areas.

The DIY Loudspeaker Projects Site
Here's an excellent and inspiring online resource for those of you who fall under the DIY-minded audiophile category of our readership (aka folks like our very own Peter Treadway). Troels Gravesen of Denmark has collected a selection of project instructions to aid in the construction of your own stereo speaker cabinets and component hardware, from cutting wood components down to the wiring!
The site includes a dizzying amount of component options, but provides a solid framework for anyone serious enough to put their wood working skills into effect for the joy customizing your home with your own hand-built audio component ("What kind of speakers are those?" "Oh…I built those myself" [beaming proudly). There's plenty of diagrams and photos, accompanied by resources galore for reference.
Obviously, these projects are not for the majority of us easily scared by instruction manuals to set your microwave clock, but even so, fascinating enough to preview what is possible if you've got the tools and the know how. If there's one project we'd love to create, it would be huge wood block turntable.

This tiny pill wears many hats.
This tiny pill wears many hats.
Pain reliever. Heart attack and stroke preventer. Arthritis manager. Cancer fighter.
Aspirin continues to amaze doctors and researchers more than 100 years after it was marketed by Bayer.
"There are few drugs where absolutely you have to use this, and this is one of them," said Dr. David Sabgir, a Mount Carmel St. Ann's cardiologist. "Definitely a miracle drug."
Aspirin, which was first sold as a pain reliever, is derived from the bark and leaves of willow trees. (Hippocrates first described its benefits in 400 B.C.)
It has appeared in more than 10,000 medical studies since 1966, according to MedlinePlus, a medical database compiled by the National Library of Medicine. In the past three years, it has been mentioned in more than 4,200 medical paper titles.
Since the 1970s, aspirin also has been prescribed to prevent and manage heart disease. Most recently, the wonder drug has been linked to preventing cancer in the colon, lungs, prostate and esophagus.
So what's the secret to its success?
Aspirin helps keep blood from clotting, Sabgir said, which is crucial for patients who have a higher risk of heart attack or stroke because of family history or past occurrences.
Doctors recommend that women 55 to 79 years old who have never had a heart attack or stroke take one low-dose aspirin a day if the risk of stroke is greater than the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, Sabgir said. Men 45 to 79 who have never had a heart attack should take aspirin if the risk of an attack outweighs the risk of bleeding, he said.
Recommended dosage is 75 to 150 milligrams, but Sabgir said most doctors recommend doses closer to 75 milligrams, the equivalent of one baby aspirin a day. He said taking a regular dose of aspirin instead of a baby dose can have long-term effects on the stomach's gastric lining.
Dr. William Abraham, director of Ohio State's cardiovascular-medicine program, said taking aspirin also can reduce the risk of having another heart attack or stroke by 25 to 30 percent.
"It actually really is what it's cracked up to be," Abraham said.
The benefits are so convincing that doctors say some people are popping a pill a day when they shouldn't.
"A lot of people look at it as a vitamin when it's a medication," said Dr. Teresa Caulin-Glaser, executive director of the McConnell Heart Health Center. "It needs to be treated with that same respect. Aspirin is a powerful medication."
Even the miracle drug isn't risk-free, Caulin-Glaser said.
Patients should ask their doctors before starting an aspirin regimen to discuss side effects, which include bleeding, breathing problems and rashes.
"I think they take it and think they'll never have a heart attack, but that's not the case," Caulin-Glaser said.
"Aspirin is just one tool. It doesn't eliminate the risk."
Will researchers discover other uses for aspirin?
Sabgir said he would bet money on it.
"Certain drugs continue to be good for things," he said.

ASTD just put out an article on the applicability of games to innovation and learning by Pat Galagan.
I was fortunate enough to be interviewed for the piece….even more so when the only others interviewed were John Seely Brown and Clark Aldrich….two gents who I really respect and admire.
A few excerpts follow:
Good performers have what Tony O'Driscoll, a professor at Duke's Fuqua School of Business, calls "reputational capital." "What you have accomplished and how your performance has been assessed by other players is open for all to see." Capability is so transparent that players cannot fake their skills.
Preparing for and executing raids is a popular activity in WoW. After each raid, the spoils—such as captured weapons and clothing and other virtual trophies—are divvied up immediately. "There's a tight link between accomplishment of activity and remuneration for it," says O'Driscoll, referring to part of the game environment that drives engagement and performance.
Tony O'Driscoll believes that multiplayer role-playing games are a rough proxy for the work environment that lies ahead and that they offer clues to leadership in the future. Certain of their characteristics, such as nonmonetary performance incentives, data that can be seen by all, and temporary leadership roles that allow practice leading to mastery, could be important in organizations of the future.
"The enterprise of the future will be small, global, knowledge-driven, and dependent on web-enabled partnerships. Such organizations require a different kind of leadership," O'Driscoll says. In the MMORPG world, leadership is a task, not an identity.

Between the hours of about 8pm and 12pm, my LO fusses so much at the boob, they always feel soft and I've read that your milk supply is lower at night.
Should I give her a bottle during this time just so I know she's getting enough?
(breast milk)
I try pumping after every feed at the moment just to increase supply - although little comes out mainly drops and I drink Milk Tea to increase supply - over all my supply is great during the days but at night it seems to drop.
I'm wondering though - if I give her the bottle and pump wont I be decreasing my supply?
The pump isn't as good as her and we've both worked hard to get the supply up but just can't seem to give her enough at night.
I fed her last night at 10.30 (well .. I say fed, more like her fussing on and off and crying, on and off ...) and put a clean nappy on her and when she woke at 2.30 to feed the nappy was still dry!
Is that a warning sign that she's definitely not getting enough and dehydrated through the night?
She had done 9 wet diapers that day and 5 poops which is a lot for her - (poop wise!) So I know she's fine, but just this night stretch worries me.
On Kelly Mom is says to not give her a bottle .. but no wet diaper for 4 hours seems bad.
Thanks so much.

quassel (A cross platform IRC client)
quassel is based on the qt4 platform. The quassel core connects to
servers and the quassel client connects to quassel core over the
internet. It means you can retain your IRC sessions even if your
X session is blowed up. Multiple clients can attach to and detach
from a central core. It's like a combination of GNU screen with
such console IRC clients as weechat, bitchX, and irssi.
webkit is an optional dependency.

Orphan (UK - BD RB)
I blame the parents! Marcus checks out the latest naughty kid movie on Blu-ray...
After losing their third child in pregnancy, the Coleman family have been under a lot of strain to find their feet again. Kate (Vera Farmiga) is distant and finding it hard to re-connect with husband John (Peter Sarsgaard), but with the idea of using the love they had built for their unborn child and giving it to a new adopted child, this family might just find the uplifting solution to their problems.
After meeting incredibly offbeat Esther (Isabelle Fuhrman) at the orphanage, with her intelligent outlook, well developed art skills and polite nature, the family decide to welcome her into their home, only to find that when bad things happen, Esther always seems to be around.
What is it with Vera Farmiga and evil kids? After 2007's Joshua (a far superior movie to this—it's lack of a convenient twist made it far, far scarier) you'd be forgiven for thinking that she has a thing for playing broken mothers who have their world collapse around them and have no one believe them when they say it's the kid's fault! However, it has to be said that she does this sort of thing with ease and a whole lot of believability. For the first third of the movie, Fuhrman's performance draws you in and you just want to give her a hug to make it all better, but then we meet with Esther and what began as a fairly well delivered drama becomes the thriller the movie really wants to be.
Now as a positive, if a movie wants you to hate its evil character, Orphan totally succeeds. The level of nasty that this adopted kid thrives in just frustrated the hell out of me (the bully tactics she pulls with the family's youngest deaf child Max especially got my back up) and I just wanted to stick with it to see her get her comeuppance. Sadly this isn't enough to make the film a good one and the longer the movie progresses the less I swallowed the clunky as hell reveals of Esther's frankly ridiculous character.
For a start, who are they trying to kid that anyone is going to adopt a kid who dresses like she's Victorian, and if they did how long is it going to be before enough is enough and those clothes get ditched. Admittedly the writers give themselves a bit of an out by layering in a little speech about how good it is to be different to other kids, but it doesn't end there. Everything Esther does is as if the family have absolutely no sense of parenting, which would be fine if it wasn't for the fact that they have already been depicted as pretty good parents.
It continues with a series of events involving Esther's manipulation of situations. The stupidly tense playground scene where the local bully gets pushed off a slide is just too 'adult' in its depiction of fear to be believable, and even though Esther's threats to the other Coleman kids are nasty, I just felt that the kids had plenty of opportunities to tell their parents, especially outside of the house when Esther didn't have access to the family gun that she could kill Mommy and Daddy with.
This may all begin to get a little heavy handed, but I'll admit that it still kept me locked into the story. Esther was over the top enough to keep me entertained and maybe even a little interested in what was going to happen next, even if it does get incredibly clichéd towards the end. Also, however hokey the over acting gets in the dramatic closing scenes, nothing is as bad as Peter Sarsgaard's character arc. His oblivious over reactions to his wife's claims about their new kid become such a grind to sit through that by the time he's alone with Esther for the movie's (weird) climactic ending he's such a douche bag that I was almost willing that he got gruesome exit.
As for the twist, I won't give anything away here, but I will say that while it explains plenty and is fairly successful, it has to be said that it raises about as many questions as it does explain what's come before its reveal. Now whether that's a good or a bad thing (or enough to make sequels out of), I'm not entirely sure but I will say that it makes the movie more memorable than plenty of other movies in the same ilk such as The Unborn or other dross like that.
This has to be one of the dullest HD transfers I've seen in the Blu-ray catalogue. This is mainly due its cold palette of greys and the snowy setting, but there's nothing about it that pops. Nothing that really sells HD and certainly nothing I can think of that impressed me at all.
Detail levels feel washed out, the lighting is uneventful, and darker scenes can look murky, bringing plenty more attention to the fairly high level of grain in some scenes. Overall, I've certainly seen worse on the HD format but never has the word 'meh' been more applicable.
Attempting to get you feeling a little unsettled in the first half of movie, Orphan has quite a good use of sound effects and atmospherics to creep you out a little, such as the scrape of the bathroom mirror as it opens and the screech of the tap. Wonderfully subtle chimes living in the rear left speakers or giggling orphanage girls in the front right all add a nice range to the track but come the second half when we're neck deep in what's going on it all becomes about short sharp shocks using bass and volume levels to get the job done. It's a fine track that sells the intended jumps with precision.
'Mama's Little Devil's: Bad Seeds and Evil Children'(14:56 HD) is a fairly good little making of, with cast and crew interviews. It delves into the psychology of the evil child fascination and shows off plenty of spoilery clips from the movie—so ensure to watch it after the flick.
'Interviews' (18:36 HD) come from the directors, producers and Isabelle Fuhrman (Esther) who in comparison to her all-American personality really highlights how far removed her performance in the film actually was.
'Deleted and Alternative Scenes' (04:04 SD) don't offer up a great deal, and lastly the theatrical trailer (02:27 HD) wraps up the disc.
A memorable character in a fairly paint by numbers horror/thriller doesn't make this a totally successful outing. At best it does its job and stands slightly above the many, many other mediocre scarefests that seem to come out so regularly. At worst, you'll be rolling your eyes at just how ineptly all of the characters handle the whole situation.
The disc itself is pretty bland with a splattering of extras and a transfer that coasts. The audio is a bit of a saving grace and does a fine job at creating a fine uncomfortable atmosphere. Even so you may want to try this one before you buy it.

I thought this was the best movie of the year. Phenomenal performances, breathtaking scenery, and the best twist I've seen in decades. I seriously thought the film was terrific. Vera Farmiga and Isabelle Furhman should win Oscars for their performances no doubt. They were just groundbreaking. They portrayed various emotions and were the best in heart-wrenching scenes. This movie is a thousand times better than Joshua, another evil child flick, because it's just so much more. Moreover, this wasn't a kid-friendly evil child film. There were actually mature themes, which I'm not giving away. Albeit, I will tell you there are a couple of grisly deaths to be found. The reason why I compare Orphan to Joshua is because Orphan was just "mixed" with the critics, while Joshua was "critically acclaimed". I find this extremely hard to believe. Joshua was a tedious mess. The acting was god awful, the pacing was terrible, and just everything was terrible. I get the director wanted to use subtlety to use effective scares, but it still was an atrocious mess. Also, the whole thing seemed pointless. Spoiler At the end, the kid is playing piano next to his father, yet he almost killed his father? I'm not sure if they found it "creepy" to try to use psychological terror there, but it just never worked for me. The whole film consisted of a whiney mother, a horny dad, and a crying baby. Fortunately, Joshua was a good character, but seriously I'm suppose to be rooting for the antagonist? Joshua sucked. How it got critically acclaimed, is beyond me. Orphan should have been critically acclaimed. A SO MUCH better film.
Also, Marcus, I thought the transfer was EXCELLENT. No grins, no over-polishing. Just right. Aside from the scarcity of extras, this BD was definitely worth the $20 I got for it on a sale at Best Buy.

Each of our great vacations has two identical traits:
Each of our great vacations has two identical traits: We love the travel and adventures but coming back home is always every bit as wonderful. Our recent European thing was certainly no exception.
Previous chats have mentioned ports we visited and sights we saw. When we finished the seven-day cruise circuit, we spent a few days in Rome before flying home, a grand finale to a grand trip.
Our hotel was smack-dab in the middle of the city so we lived "Night at the Museum" for 72 hours. Rome is one huge open-air museum.
Everywhere we went was like strolling through pages of history books. Italy is surely a beautiful place populated by beautiful people.
Italians exude a passion for their country and for life that permeates their speech and gestures, like ones I often saw exchanged between taxi drivers and pedestrians. I liked those folks and am practicing talking with my hands.
I continued my gawking tour of Rome�s historic jewels. We "did" the Vatican and St. Peter�s. I may have done permanent damage to my neck trying to absorb Michelangelo�s masterpiece on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
My best description of the Vatican museum is "dwarfing." That�s a strange word usage, but the experience was so impressive and huge it made me feel quite small, even insignificant. I now understand more about the nature of powers exerted by the church.
Pompeii remains my single favorite tour, but the Colosseum is a close second. I know cheers and jeers of ancient Roman crowds couldn�t possibly have survived 2,000 years, but I strained to hear them anyway. I even went through the motions of a secretive "thumbs up" and "thumbs down" just for the connective hoot of it.
Trevi Fountain was a "must see," but the huge crowds around it gave lie to its romantic reputation. I was afraid I�d put somebody�s eye out trying to toss coins into it. It was so very crowded, as were the Spanish Steps.
Rome is called the "city of fashion" for a reason. My wife Ann was continually entertained by styles, purses, shoes, clothes and all those things I generally ignore. The city is full of very sharp dressers and sharp stores. Cha-ching.
Because this beautiful city is perpetually invaded by tourists, visitors are targeted by hordes of trinket sellers. You quickly learn to ignore such approaches and walk on. If you answer their sales pitch, it�s like ringing a dinner-bell.
I did respond to one guy who was hawking Obama dolls for 5 Euros (about $7 US). I told him I wasn�t interested but would be more than happy to let him have the original for a nickel. He smiled but didn�t understand. I smiled because I did.
As soon as I started buying stuff I noticed they have a national sales tax of 21 percent! When I mentioned this, our driver said he�s paying nearly half of his income in taxes, and the government now wants more.
Maybe a Tea � make that "Wine Party" � is in their future.

I am also new to this idea of a digital scrapbook day, and so I've been caught unaware with no ideas. However if anyone has any, please let us know. Or perhaps you can post links in here to things that are happening around the web, maybe some good freebies you've found for the weekend.

Review: Incipio Frequency for iPod nano 7G
Company: Incipio
Website: www.Myincipio.com
Model: Frequency
Price: $16
Compatible: iPod nano 7G
Incipio's Frequency ($16) is one of the very few seventh-generation iPod nano cases on the market, modeled after the case of the same name the company offers for the iPhone 5 and iPod touch 5G. While the super simple, super light nano may not need as much protection from drops and falls as its larger siblings, Frequency adds extra functionality that increases the value of the case. It comes in teal, purple, translucent grey, black, and pink, and ships with a screen protector as well as the tools to apply it.
The case is made out of the company's semi-flexible NGP rubber. With some effort, it wraps around the body, leaving the bezel and screen fully exposed but all the aluminum protected. The Home Button is covered while the Lightning and headphone ports are open at the bottom. We appreciate that Incipio chose to cover the volume buttons as well, but would've preferred if it had left a greater indentation for the play/pause button; the way the material fits over them, you wouldn't know it's there.
Frequency's most interesting component is the triangular loop at the top. It can be used to connect to carabiners, hooks, or keychains, making the iPod nano even more portable. Incipio was able to add this feature without a lot of bulk, and it fits well with the overall aesthetic of the case. Although not as protective as SwitchEasy's Colors, we see the $1 price differential as worth it here. With the screen film in place, the slightly lesser body coverage is totally acceptable, and the loop will be appealing to many users. Taken with Frequency's overall attractive design and feel, it earns the case our strong general recommendation.

War : Over fifteen months, Sebastian Junger followed a single platoon based at a remote outpost in eastern Afghanistan. His objective was both simple and ambitious: to convey what soldiers experience - what war actually feels like. In these pages, he gives insight into the truths of combat: the fear, the honor, and the trust among men. He describes things that few civilians will ever witness or go through: the endless, body-numbing anticipation of battle; the unquestioned and automatic risks soldiers take in combat situations to protect their brothers; the adrenaline-fueled confusion of being ambushed. Junger shows what it means to fight, to serve, and to face down mortal danger on a constant basis.

It looks like hot lava flowing from a cavernous volcano, rivers of it sweeping through valleys, flames shooting from a central red-hot core.
Actually, though, it's an eye. More specifically, it's the optic nerve leading from the eye to the brain. It's one-and-a-half millimeters of it magnified about a gazillion times on a computer screen at Hood River's Cascade Eye Center.
The detailed image is used to detect miniscule changes in the nerve that indicate the onset of glaucoma, the leading cause of blindness in the United States. Glaucoma occurs when tiny fibers in the optic nerve are destroyed. It often goes undetected in its early stages because there is no pain, and vision loss happens only after the disease has progressed. There's no cure for glaucoma, but it can be treated and controlled to minimize vision loss.
"The big thing with glaucoma is changes that happen over time," said Dr. John Willer, an ophthalmologist at the center. "If we can catch it before the changes happen, we can treat it more successfully." Willer gets the detailed images with a device called a confocal scanning laser opthalmoscope, one of several high tech machines Willer and his partners at Cascade, optometrists Mitch Martin and Chris Barbour, use in their comprehensive eye care practice.
Cascade Eye Center was born out of a merger between an existing clinic and Martin and Barbour's clinic, called Summit View Eyecare. The two optometrists landed in Hood River in 1997 after completing their residencies at Portland's Veteran's Administration Hospital.
"We knew we wanted to stay in Oregon," Barbour said. They literally drove around the state looking for a community where they could establish an eye care clinic -- and raise their families. At the time, Hood River native Sab Akiyama was retiring and looking to sell his 37-year-old optometry practice. The trio met and they clicked, and within a few months Martin and Barbour found themselves in practice in Hood River.
Apprehensive, at first, to be taking over Akiyama's well-established clinic, Martin and Barbour soon found that the community was willing to give the new doctors a try.
"The town was very responsive," Martin said. "We kind of experienced this phenomenon of, `Well, let's try these new kids out.'"
They set out to make their clinic the most comprehensive one around. With the addition of Willer last year (who came on board after a previous ophthalmologist moved away) they've done just that. The clinic offers everything from the latest in glasses frames to laser corrective surgery.
The latter is a new addition to Cascade Eye Center. Beginning this month, a cornea specialist from Oregon Health & Science University Hospital in Portland will come to the clinic once a month to conduct seminars for the public on corrective laser surgery options. He'll schedule another day there to perform laser surgeries.
Other surgeries performed at the clinic include cataracts surgery -- Willer's specialty. Cataracts occurs when the normally clear lens on the eye becomes cloudy; it's a normal part of the aging process, Willer said.
"I tell people a lot of times every day that there are four sure things," he said. "Death, taxes, bifocals and cataracts." Once a leading cause of blindness, cataracts now can be successfully treated through surgery. Willer is able to perform the latest "no-stitch" cataracts surgery on more than 80 percent of his patients. The surgery involves a three millimeter incision and takes about 15 minutes.
"(Patients) go home that day and you wouldn't even know they had surgery," he said.
Another recent addition to Cascade Eye Center is a low vision clinic, headed by Barbour. Funded partly through a grant from the Lions Club, the low vision clinic provides testing and vision aids for people who are vision impaired.
"We provide options for people to help them use their remaining vision more effectively," Barbour said. He works with patients to determine what tasks they'd like to be able to do, then recommends one of dozens of possible aid devices, ranging from specialty magnifiers to closed circuit TV -- what he calls "the Porsche in low vision."
"A lot of people don't realize that you can be legally blind and still read, watch TV and do other things," he said.
Along with treating eye problems, Barbour and his partners try to educate patients on preventing eye disorders.
"Everybody's going to get cataracts," Barbour said, "but you can help reduce the aggressive nature of some diseases." There's recent evidence, for example, that certain anti-oxidants help reduce the incidence of macular degeneration, an age-related vision problem, so Barbour discusses with patients certain nutritional supplements that might help ward off eye problems down the road.
Cascade's doctors rely on their staff of opticians to help with education, as well. Jessie Page, optical manager at the clinic, is particularly concerned with sun damage to eyes.
"We're really trying to educate the public about the importance of sunglasses, and prescription sunglasses," she said.
In the meantime, Barbour and his partners will continue to study eyes, both directly and on computer screens, and use the latest technology to help their patients see clearly.
"Our goal is to provide total eye care under one roof," Barbour said.
Cascade Eye Center is located at 2025 Cascade Ave. Their phone number is 386-2402.

On March 18, 2013, at about 9:04 PM, the Newport Police Department was dispatched to the area of Beech Street in reference to a suspicious person.
Officers arrived and located a witness who stated that a subject had been on his porch and had gone to another residence. Officers located the subject at a residence on Laurel Street. The occupant of the residence stated that the subject had just shown up and said he had been shot and needed an ambulance. During this investigation, victim Marvin Hoggan (age 32, black male, from Newport) stated that he was at his residence at 405 Leona Street when two subjects, both known to him, came inside his residence. According to Hoggan, LEOTIS GIST JR. (age 20, black male, from Newport) confronted him about a previous dispute with NICO COX (age 23, black male, from Newport). COX then told GIST to "shoot him" and GIST fired at least three rounds at Hoggan using a 9mm handgun. Hoggan was struck once in the buttocks and the bullet exited his groin area. Hoggan then ran from the residence and went to nearby homes seeking assistance. Hoggan was transported to a local hospital and then transferred to a Little Rock hospital. Hoggan's injuries are not expected to be life-threatening. On March 19, GIST and COX were both arrested and transported to the Jackson County Detention Center. They appeared in Newport District Court on March 20 where they were charged with Attempted Murder in the First Degree. Their bonds were each set at $150,000. Both suspects will appear in Jackson County Circuit Court on April 22, 2013.

Newly Revealed Negotiating Documents Show How US Companies Had Excessive Input On ACTA
from the eu-commission-failure dept
Specifically, the US repeatedly told negotiators that it was sharing ACTA documents with industry representatives using non-disclosure agreements -- while the EU negotiators repeatedly complained that there was no legal way for it to share the documents with anyone. In the end, the EU meekly appears to have given up on this point. What this means, of course, is that the US -- and its close connections with entertainment industry special interests -- were able to have significantly more say in matters concerning ACTA. While there was no guarantee that the EU would have briefed public interest stakeholders, there definitely appeared to be at least some concern that such folks were not heard from -- but no real effort to fight for such.
Also, while it's not a surprise that the US wrote "the internet chapter" of ACTA, it is rather enlightening to have it confirmed that it was also the US who pushed so strong for a three strikes disconnection policy (something that negotiators had, at one point, denied was being discussed -- only to be revealed they were lying when various texts were leaked). This, despite the fact that the US requires no such three strikes regime. So all the talk of how there was no intention to use ACTA to change US law? Yeah, that's a lie.
Separately, there's a discussion about how the US's initial text for the internet/digital section was so "confusing" that "several ACTA parties off-the-record said that they would wait for a EU text to "balance" the US one." This is not a surprise again. Entertainment industry lobbyists -- who, again, had full access to the texts and the ready ear of USTR negotiators (go ahead, connect the dots) -- know quite well how to write completely confounding legislation, where the real purposes are hidden in the complex and confusing language. That initial "confusing and complex" draft from the USTR wasn't because they don't know how to be clear. It's a way to hide little time bombs that the entertainment industry plans to explode at later dates -- just as they did with the ProIP bill, and the bizarrely ridiculous interpretation that the clause on seizing CD and DVD burners really meant seizing websites as well...

Note: I've tried to leave out any teams named after Native American tribes.Now that I've probably managed to offend pretty much every sports fan, I'll tell you that I love these names. I didn't call this article the "25 Dumbest Names for College Teams" or the "25 Stupidest Names in College Sports." There's a reason for that. I love all these teams. And honestly, it would seem somewhat trite for most of these teams to be called the Bulldogs, the Falcons, the Braves, the Hawks, the Thrashers, the Georgia Southern Eagles, the Valdosta State Blazers or the Mercer Bears. But if you've had a name for decades then you kinda' stick with it, trite, silly or awesome. Now, let's go get some Fighting Pickles tats!

Ohio State will head to Michigan Stadium on Saturday afternoon and try to complete a perfect regular season for the second straight year.
In a game like this, nothing much has to be said before taking the field.
Ohio State will head to Michigan Stadium on Saturday afternoon and try to complete a perfect regular season for the second straight year.
Whatever Urban Meyer has been saying to his team before taking the field, he might want to repeat it Saturday.
One of the keys to an Ohio State win is a fast start by the Buckeyes. The longer Michigan, a 141⁄2 -point underdog at home, stays in the game, the more confidence the Wolverines likely are to gain.
The Buckeyes have outscored their first seven Big Ten opponents 104-24 in the first quarter. Throw in their nonleague games, and the advantage is 206-38 for the season in the opening quarter. Iowa was the only team that led after the first quarter, 10-3, and Ohio State went on to win that game 34-24.
"They have a very good football team," Michigan head coach Brady Hoke said. "Four of their five offensive linemen are seniors. They have a lot of veteran guys who have played a lot of snaps. The running back (Carlos Hyde) is leading the Big Ten. He's a good running back. He's a guy who can break tackles.
"The quarterback has played well. He's throwing the ball better. They have good wide receivers. They're explosive offensively."
Michigan is outscoring its opposition 82-57 in the first quarter, however, the Wolverines have been outscored 23-13 during the last four opening quarters.
These two offense couldn't be more different. Michigan is struggling for both an identity and continuity. Hoke has used five different offensive line combinations, including trotting a new one out for Iowa last week.
Fifth-year senior left tackle Taylor Lewan is Michigan's best offensive lineman. Lewan and right tackle Michael Schofield are the only two players on the line who have started every game at those positions.
That offensive line has contributed to Michigan being ranked 95th in the country in total offense. Ohio State is seventh.
"They have a good group of O-lineman," Buckeye defensive tackle Michael Bennett said. "I don't know what motivates them day by day. I know they will be motivated against us. I know we have to come ready to play."
The defense the Buckeyes will face, however, is another story. Michigan is ranked 26th in total defense.
It adds up to the third-ranked Buckeyes being heavy favorites. Hoke isn't buying into it.
"We're going to play the game on Saturday. That's why we're playing it," Hoke said. "This game has always been different in some ways. Are they a good football team? Yeah, they're a very good football team. Do we have to play better than we've played? I don't think there's any doubt about that."

Democratic Sen. Johnson announces retirement, cites health concerns
Democratic U.S. Sen. Tim Johnson of South Dakota announced Tuesday that he would retire at the end of his term, acknowledging he remains limited by a recent "health crisis" and wants to spend more time with his grandchildren.
Appearing Tuesday in his hometown of Vermillion, Johnson made it official he will not seek a fourth term. Lingering effects from a 2006 brain hemorrhage have slowed his speech and caused him to use a motorized scooter, which he used to get to the news conference Tuesday.
"I feel great, but I must be honest, I appreciate my right arm and right leg aren't what they used to be, and my speech is not entirely there," Johnson, 66, said from the University of South Dakota in his hometown of Vermillion.
Citing his age and a desire to spend more time with his family, Johnson said "it is time for me to say goodbye." He also ruled out running for any other office when his term ends in 2014.
"I look forward to serving the remaining two years as the country is facing difficult times on many fronts and I will work every day to find a bipartisan solution to these challenges," he said.
Former Gov. Mike Rounds, a Republican, had announced plans last year to challenge Johnson, the chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, and figures to give Republicans one of their best opportunities at picking up a seat.
Johnson joins Democratic Sens. Carl Levin of Michigan, Tom Harkin of Iowa, Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, and Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey as seasoned and influential Democrats departing the chamber, where Republicans need to gain six seats to take control. Among those states, West Virginia was carried by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney last year.
Two Republican senators have announced their retirements, both in Republican-performing states Georgia and Nebraska.
By stepping aside, Johnson, who had never lost an election, leaves South Dakota Democrats searching their youthful prospects for a potential successor.
"I believe South Dakota moves into the top slot as the most likely Republican pickup," said Greg Strimple, a Republican pollster and past consultant to the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
Aware that Johnson might decide to retire, Democrats in South Dakota and nationally have discussed possible successors on the ticket, chiefly Johnson's son Brendan Johnson and former U.S. Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin.
Reached by phone Tuesday, Herseth Sandlin declined to say whether she would run.
"While I appreciate the encouragement I've received I haven't focused on the future political opportunities," she told The Associated Press.
Brendan Johnson, 37, who was appointed U.S. attorney for South Dakota in 2009, has never held elected office and faced questions about his father's involvement in the confirmation process.
The senator declined to comment on whether his son might seek the job. He said he had told him of his decision but didn't say whether he would urge him to run.
Like the younger Johnson, Herseth Sandlin is a well-known name in the state and has a fundraising base. But the 42-year-old could face problems in a Democratic primary in light of her opposition to the 2010 Affordable Care Act, a position that is out of step with a majority of party loyalists.
