With only two matchdays left, east Asian teams continue to dominate their respective groups while a clutch of traditional powerhouses from the Middle East have succeeded in keeping their Olympic dream alive.
On Wednesday, Korea Republic and Japan both qualified for the final stage of Beijing 2008 preliminaries after extending their winning sequences to four games, while Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Kuwait all racked up victories to move one step closer to joining them.
For their part, Korea Republic secured a place in the third and final qualifying round by beating Uzbekistan 1-0 in Tashkent. Substitute Baek Ji-Hoon scored the winning goal, curling in a 20-metre freekick with 15 minutes remaining, this shortly after the Suwon Bluewings midfielder had replaced Han Dong-Won. The goal was a major fillip for the 22-year-old, who has been out of form since returning from Germany 2006, where he did not manage a single appearance.
Japan also maintained their 100 per cent record with a 2-0 away win over Syria that, combined with Hong Kong's 1-0 win in Malaysia, sees them virtually seal top spot with two games remaining. Japan now lead Group B with 12 points, with Syria second on six and Malaysia and Hong Kong propping up the table on three.
In Group E, Korea DPR beat India 2-0 at home, while Iraq replied with a 1-0 away win over Thailand three hours later. Those results left the North Koreans leading the group with 10 points, two more than their Iraqi rivals, with the Thais a further four points behind.
Saudis sink Socceroos
In the Middle East, meanwhile, Kuwait preserved their unbeaten run by defeating Pakistan 4-0 at home to stay on top of Group A on ten points. Another 4-0 home win saw Qatar leapfrog Bahrain into second place, and the Qataris could close the three-point gap between them and the leaders when they travel to Kuwait City for their next group fixture in less than a month's time.
Having lost 2-0 to Australia in their previous game, Saudi Arabia returned to winning ways with a 2-1 home victory against the Socceroos, who dropped to third after Iran beat hosts Jordan 3-0. The Saudis are now in pole position in Group D with ten points, with Iran and Australia trailing by five points. The next round of fixtures sees Iran head Down Under next month for a game that will be crucial in the race for second place.
Elsewhere, Vietnam and Lebanon claimed 2-0 and 2-1 home wins over Oman and Indonesia respectively to move joint-top of Group C with nine points. The leaders will now face off against each other in the penultimate group match on 16 May, when Lebanon welcome their south-eastern rivals to Beirut.
Second qualifying round, Matchday 4 results
Wednesday 18 April
Group A: Kuwait 4-0 Pakistan, Qatar 4-0 Bahrain
Group B: Syria 0-2 Japan, Malaysia 0-1 Hong Kong
Group C: Vietnam 2-0 Oman, Lebanon 2-1 Indonesia
Group D: Saudi Arabia 2-1 Australia, Jordan 0-3 Iran
Group E: Korea DPR 2-0 India, Thailand 0-1 Iraq
Group F: Uzbekistan 0-1 Korea Republic, UAE 2-0 Yemen

The State of the Union address, while featured on many channels, is rarely must see TV. Party affiliation of the President doesn't matter. What usually matters is if the American people are looking for answers to direction, or if the country is in crisis.
When the country is in a mood as we are now, a somewhat laid back yet aggravated state of mind, the SOTU always struggles for an audience and more importantly, for relevance.
Wednesday headlines may talk about how President Obama intends to issue dozens of Executive Orders and work without the help of Congress. Top stories will mention President Obama's plans on many initiatives and what those changes will mean to the country.
But the fact of the matter is that the news cycle for this year's SOTU will likely be the shortest of the President's five SOTU's. That has very little to do with what he said and more to do with where the country is politically.
VIDEO: Obama's Speech Gets A 'Reality Check'
To say the country is divided politically would be one of the major understatements of the year, if not the decade. And one of the byproducts of that division is that when issues come up like the State of the Union address, people are not looking for anything new.
Democrats are not looking for motivation from this speech, because the attention is already focused down the road to the November election. Democrats must get prepared to protect the Senate and frankly are worried about the sting from the rollout of the Affordable Care Act. Getting excited about an agenda that will have trouble getting off the ground is not a high priority.
Republicans certainly cannot get cocky, despite the difficulties the President faced in 2013. But they already have an agenda that counts on looking back to 2013 and not on an agenda for 2014. The November election for the GOP will be all about pointing to the problems of last year. Starting new fights over issues in 2014 would defeat that purpose.
So with the parties not focused on the SOTU, it is clear that unless the President announces a new war against Greenland or a new initiative to legalize marijuana, he's not going to make many long lasting headlines.
When it comes to the substance of the speech, while myriad issues were brought up, the arching theme of working around Congress makes for fun repartee, but the reality is that the drafters of the U.S. Constitution are working against the President on this point. While Executive Powers allow him to implement some ideas and proposals, the truth is that nothing of real substance can come from purely Executive Orders.
Presidents throughout history have tried to use Executive Orders to work around Congress. Some made history, like Teddy Roosevelt and how he named new national monuments around the country when Congress wouldn't agree on new national parks, but that's an extreme example.
I don't think we'll be talking about the minimum wage hike of federal contractors to $10.10 one hundred years from now.
For now, we can enjoy the next 24 hours or so of the SOTU news cycle and then get right back to things that matter more to America, which is just about everything else.

BAGHDAD — U.S. forces have routed Al Qaeda in Iraq from every neighborhood of Baghdad, a top American general said Wednesday, allowing U.S. troops involved in the surge to depart as planned.
Maj. Gen. Joseph Fil, commander of U.S. forces in Baghdad, also said that American troops had yet to clear about 13 percent of the city, including Sadr City and several other areas controlled by Shiite militias. But, he said, "there's just no question" that violence has declined since a spike in June.

I took the list of filenames, set it to a fixed pitch font, and right justified it. In a way, this "connects the dots". Perhaps the clue can be found vertically oriented in this list.

Why choose self-guided?
It is important to note that a self-guided vacation is not the same as 'do-it-yourself' or what is also known as self-contained. With a self-contained trip, you are responsible for everything from planning the routes, arranging hotels, luggage transfers, carrying your gear, etc. That does not sound like a fun vacation to us!
If you've never experienced road biking in Phoenix, you're missing out! Here are four reasons you should plan a road bike trip to Phoenix.
Before you rent or ride a bike, you might want to know what size you are. Here's a blog on finding out your best bike fit.
Whether you're on a long or short mountain bike ride, it's important to always have the necessary gear to keep you safe and having fun. Here are the items you should carry on your mountain bike ride.

There are a number of studies that show the best foods for diverticulitis are those high in fiber such as beans, fresh fruit and vegetables, according to WebMD. Whole-grain bread, cereal and pasta made of whole grains are also recommended.Continue Reading
In addition to eating foods that are high in fiber, doctors also often recommend fiber supplements to patients, explains WebMD. These supplements, such as Metamucil, are usually taken one to three times each day to help soften the stool. Those suffering from diverticulitis should ensure they are getting enough water, as that keeps the stool soft as well. Soft stool helps eliminate the pain associated with diverticulitis.
Just as there are foods that are good for patients suffering from diverticulitis, there are also foods that should be avoided, states WebMD. Hard-to-digest foods such as corn should not be eaten by those with diverticulitis, as the body cannot pass these foods as easily through the large intestine. In addition to eating a diet that is high in fiber-rich foods, doctors recommend that patients with diverticulitis practice good bathroom habits. These include not straining while having a bowel movement and ensuring the patient is using the bathroom on a regular schedule. These practices may ease the pain associated with diverticulitis.Learn more about Nutrition & Diets

BadUSB – Security vulnerability with no fix coming any time soon
No comments · Posted by lance in Podcast, Security Breaches, Video
A couple of months ago researcher Karsten Nohl demonstrated a security vulnerability that he called BadUSB. Basically it was a demonstration that an attacker could alter the firmware in a USB device to automatically attack anything it was plugged in to. At the recent DerbyCon, researchers Adam Caudill and Brandon Wilson demonstrated their version of the attack and released sample code for how to implement it. This really opens pandora's box.
The problem here is that this is not actually a bug in USB. It is exactly how USB is designed to work (as insecure as that might be), and changing that behavior is likely to break a lot of other things. A good and effective fix for this vulnerability is probably years away.
In the mean time, take great care with USB devices. My suggestion is to never use another person's USB device. Don't use USB to transfer files, and make sure that any USB devices you do use are obtained directly in unopened packaging. There could still be exploits introduced in manufacturing, but at least you are as safe as reasonably possible.

Getting an all-in-one desktop serves a lot of purposes. But finding the right one for you and your family might be a little harder than you thought. That's where we come in to give you a helping hand. In this HP Pavilion 27-n110 review, we will take a look at this brand new desktop from the house of HP and see how good of a desktop this is.
This new all-in-one desktop PC is fine for any kind of user. From a casual user to a super heavy one, this desktop can take care of your needs without any issues. There is no weakness in the spec sheet when it comes to power, and that's pretty important these days. Read our full review and find out if this new desktop is good enough for you.
Click Here to check for a Discount price!
This is a beautiful-looking desktop computer. Though it might remind you of something else, it still is a gorgeous computer and the first impression is just wow. The stand is made of aluminum, and it does a great job holding the display. But there is no option to swivel, and the best you can do is just tilt.
The bezels around the screen might be a little too much for some but will work for the most of us. The keyboard and the mouse are standard inclusions as well. They work well but nothing special there. Overall, this desktop is a really well designed and can be a good attraction on your table.
HP Pavilion 27-n110 Specs
The HP Pavilion 27-n110 has a nice array of specs, and it shows.
The display here is a 27-inch screen that is LED-backlit, and it comes with a full-HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. It is an excellent screen, and the fact that it is also an IPS display makes it even better. You can see the screen from any corner of your room and the pictures will retain the same quality.
To top the already brilliant display, this is also a touchscreen. This is a capacitive touchscreen, and the touch sensitivity is pretty good. Being a big screen, navigating this with the mouse might become a bit slow. With the touchscreen, that problem has an answer. You can navigate the screen fast and go where you want to in a jiffy.
The processor that powers this all-in-one desktop is an Intel Core i5 chip from the Skylake generation. This i5 6400T processor has a clock speed of 2.2GHz. With the help of the turbo boost functionality, the processor itself will overclock it to a maximum speed of 2.8GHz.
Being a quad-core processor, there is no lack of power. You get a powerful chip, and that will help you run through your everyday activities like a boss. Be it simple stuff like checking email and browsing the web or some complex stuff like editing photos and videos, this processor will not let you down.
The memory in the desktop is made up of an 8GB DDR3L RAM. This is a standard memory that is enough for most of the users. Even if you are a heavy user, this memory will be okay until you do some serious video editing jobs. You can upgrade the memory if you want which gives you some freedom on this front.
On the slower side, we have the storage. It is a big hard drive with a capacity of 1TB and a speed of 7200RPM. This is not as fast as the SSDs on the market but still is better than those 5400RPM drive that a few companies push. It comes with Windows 10 as the operating system, and that works well too out of the box. It has some new features that you might end up using regularly.
Gaming is not the main purpose of this desktop. It comes with Intel HD graphics 530 and it is wat better than the previous gen integrated graphics. You can do some moderate gaming and will get decent frame rates depending on the game and the settings. It is playable, but the experience is definitely not as good as a serious gaming machine.
The HP Pavilion 27-n110 model supports Bluetooth and 802.11a/c wireless connectivities. There are essential ports like USB 2.0, USB 3.0, HDMI and other ports as well. There is also a try-load DVD writer that you might like as well.
HP Pavilion 27-n110 Review: The Verdict
This HP Pavilion 27-n110 review ends here it is verdict time. This model from HP is a classic-looking, powerful and an overall winner. If you are in the market for a neat all-in-one desktop computer that won't break your bank, then this one is a good choice.

A verdict has been reached in the trial of Jodi Arias, who is charged with first-degree murder in the killing of Travis Alexander, her former boyfriend. The verdict is expected to be announced at 4:30 p.m. ET.
Alexander was stabbed repeatedly, shot and nearly decapitated five years ago. Arias says she killed him in self-defense after he attacked her, but the grisly slaying has caused even some anti-domestic violence advocates to doubt her case.

My First Quilt
Jumping on the show and tell bandwagon, folks! Camille and Carrie are hosting a Quilt Show and Tell…encouraging us to show our first quilt, show our most recent quilt, and to explain something that you learned along the way. So…here goes…
I would consider myself a novice quilter. Even though my first quilt was probably made around 2003, I didn't do much for years in between, and what I did do wasn't really much. I grew up in a house surrounded by fabric, sewing, and lots of craftiness. My mom ran a full-time custom drapery workroom out of our 4th bedroom (and just recently retired after 27 years! YAY!) so I was SURROUNDED by the stuff. She always asked me if I wanted to learn, and I said no. During college, my husband (then boyfriend) and I went to San Antonio to visit, and the Alamo had their annual day where all of the volunteers dress up and let you participate in activities of the period…like grinding corn in a mill, and making bullets, and *watching* the ladies quilt (they didn't let us TOUCH their stuff!). I watched them and thought it was amazing how they could create these beautiful, functional pieces of art. No one in my family quilted…mom sews a mean drape…but hadn't quilted. So, I set out to be the first quilter in the family…with the hopes of passing some of these things on to my future kids and grandkids. Remember…NO SEWING EVER before I made this bad boy…
(OK Mom…don't cringe at the unmade bed underneath…you did teach me to clean…I was just lazy!)
and I have to say…not all that terrible for someone who had never sewed and who had no one helping. For those of you wondering about the size of this thing…it's laying on my King sized bed in my room…so it's HUGE! If you look close you can see the mistakes (like rows TOTALLY not lining up and corners not meeting…I had no concept of this at the time!).
I paid someone to quilt and bind this for me…and I'm sure they just looked at it and gasped! We use this quilt still, and I think that everyone in my family and most of my husband's family have all slept under this quilt at one time or another. It's well loved, and I love that!
Since then I will say that the most important thing that I've learned is to keep a steady seam allowance when you're sewing. I'm quite sure that this first quilt has seam allowances running the gamut…all in a 3 inch section! I have also learned to be more patient in my sewing. It's OK to admit that you sewed it TOTALLY wrong, rip out the seam, and start again…it really is OK!
My most recent quilt is the little doll quilt I made for Hailey.
Here's a picture of my most recent quilt top…another birthday present for a neighborhood friend!
Well, I think that just about does it! And I encourage you…if you're a quilter and you're reading this and thinking…"but mine is REALLY bad!" I say…come on…it can't be that bad!

Investors took fright at the prospect of a regulatory review into Britain's life insurance industry on Friday , knocking about £2.4bn off the market value of the biggest insurers.
In the FTSE 100, Resolution, the company behind Friends Life, plunged 7.1pc, while Legal & General lost 3.5pc, Aviva fell 2.8pc, Prudential slumped 2.6pc and Standard Life declined 1.6pc. Phoenix Group, a member of the FTSE 250, also tumbled 11.5pc as the sector was sold-off aggressively by investors.
It came after The Daily Telegraph disclosed that the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), would on Monday outline the scope of an inquiry into closed books of business, or so-called zombie funds, dating from the 1970s to the turn of the millennium, amid concern about whether or not customers are getting a fair deal. A large number of policies would have been sold by doorstep salesmen.
Today's investor reaction prompted calls for a clarification by the FCA, with L&G issuing a stock exchange statement urging the watchdog to "bring forward the publication" of its plan in light of the "disorderly market". In response to the pressure, the regulator attempted to alleviate fears that any changes would be implemented retrospectively on more than 30m policies.
"We are not planning to individually review 30m policies, nor do we intend to look at removing exit fees from those policies providing they were compliant at the time," the FCA said. "This is not a review of the sales practices for these legacy customers and we are not looking at applying current standards retrospectively – for example on exit charges."
However, the FCA said it would examine the treatment of customers in closed accounts and that "there are still valid issues to be looked at around the question of the service that consumers receive".
Aviva said the impact of the review was likely to be "minimal", as the inquiry, which will start in the summer, would only apply at most to some £200m of the current value of the profits expected from its life insurance polices. Resolution also said it would "look forward to receiving further details from the FCA", while Phoenix said it would "co-operate fully" with any inquiry.
Today's sell-off capped a difficult few days for the industry. Insurers had already been hit by last week's Budget, which scrapped rules forcing retirees to buy pension annuities. On Thursday, Steve Webb, the pensions minister, added to the pressure on the sector by announcing that pension fees are to be capped.
"Investors just don't know where the next bullet is coming from," said Gordon Aitken, analyst at RBC Capital Markets.

Knowing that an increasing number of youngsters take drugs on a regular basis for recreational purposes, we have decided to found a business with an emphasis on educating inexperienced drug users and connecting them with people that they may find interesting to hang out with.
We help you build trust with drugs
If you surf the internet or go some place in your local community, you'll be hearing stories and stories about drug abuse. Unfortunately, people from these stories have met their maker before it was time only because they didn't want to listen to any advice. But drug laymen frequently pick wrong methods to educate the uneducated. This is the very reason why we created Whatismolly.com - our mission is to spread the truth about drugs in the right way and say it out loud that if a person abuses drugs, it's the person's not the drug's fault.
Our test kits are the shortcut to safe use
Most drugs are illegal, which leaves enough room for scams and swindling. Dealers often take advantage of such situation and provide you with a low-quality product that's not even worth emerging on the market. It goes without saying that these drugs need to be tested due to its popularity among the younger crowd. Knowing that younger people are easy to fool, dealers take advantage of that, without thinking that it may cause severe damage or even death.
On the other hand, test kits are completely legal and you can take them with you anywhere you want. What's more, they are really easy to use. Our business offers test kits for the following drugs: MDMA, Cocaine, and LSD. You are also provided with a full and detailed instruction about test kit usage. Not to mention that along with test kits you get 200+ tests for each.
Real life stories to show you you're not alone
We not only deal with technical issues here. Our message that we want to get across is people who go through hardships related to drugs are not on their own. Even if you don't know how to use test kits, or you abuse a certain drug, stories from our blog will show you that someone, somewhere is going through something similar, if not identical.
A chance to hook up with great people
We think that the endeavor to connect people of the community is crucial because this is the way to share personal experiences and improve the quality of drug use.
Ultimately, Whatismolly.com stands for our cause and will persevere in our intention to debunk drug myths and educate young people.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. median household net worth declined 35 percent between 2005 and 2010, from $102,844 to $66,740 (in 2010 constant dollars), according to a data released today by the U.S. Census Bureau. That means half of all U.S. households had a net worth greater than $66,740 in 2010, while half had a net worth of less.
"The overall decline in net worth reflects drops in housing values and stock market indices," said Census Bureau economist Alfred Gottschalck.
The collapse of the real estate bubble had the largest impact on household net worth ? the value of assets minus debts. Excluding home equity, median household net worth increased by 8 percent between 2009 and 2010, from $13,859 to $15,00
In absolute terms, median net worth decreased for all age groups over the period, but more so for older households than for younger ones. For householders 65 and older, it decreased from $195,890 to $170,128; for those under 35, the decrease was from $8,528 to $5,402. In percentage terms, however, the story was much different: a 37 percent decline for younger householders, compared with a 13 percent decline for older ones.
All educational groups also experienced declines. For example, those with a high school diploma saw their median net worth fall 39 percent and those with a bachelor's degree experienced a 32 percent decline.
More education is associated with higher net worth. In 2010, those with a graduate or professional degree had a median net worth of $245,763, while the median net worth of those with a high school diploma only was $42,223. Those with a bachelor's degree had a median net worth of $142,518.
In 2000, those with a bachelor's degree had a median net worth value almost twice as large as those with a high school diploma only; by 2010, this number had risen to almost three and one-half times as large. The same pattern can be seen when examining the graduate or professional degree to high school diploma ratio; this ratio has increased from 3.5 to 5.8 over the same period.
Householders age 35 to 44 had the largest percent decline in median net worth from 2005 to 2010 of any age group: 59 percent.

Today is International Women's Day and Rapha is throwing their #WOMENS100 on July 7th. Here are the details:
The Rapha Women's 100 – JULY 7th, 2013
We invite you to ride at least 100k with us this July 7th, 2013. This is the same day that the Etape du Tour is happening in France. Each year this event kicks off with some crazy participation number 0f 25,000 people riding the same route as the Tour de France. Unfortunately, the number of women who do this event is quite paltry. So, in an effort to get that number up, we have declared "l'attaque" (that's French for "attack!") on this day. Let us see how many women we can get riding on the day!
QUESTION?: Never ridden 100k before? Not a problem.
Over the next 16 weeks – roughly the time before July 7th – we will be providing tips, tricks and general guidelines to get you up and over your first 100k. We have lined up a good amount of bi-weekly (I can tell you this already that it is going to spill over to more than bi-weekly) content focused on getting you there. All brought to you by the fantastic women that we ride and interact with on a daily basis both here in Portland as well as some great celebrities in our little world of cycling (people like Gem Atkinson from Bianchista – who is the great rider and smiley woman in our Spring Summer catalog. You may notice that she likes to wear pearls. Which is awesome.)
There will be more about this in the coming weeks than you could ever imagine. As well, the San Francisco based Women's Prestige on April 13th (which is full with 24 teams of women) will be a sounding board for what the Rapha Women's 100 as we hope to inspire all of these ladies to join us in July.
How many women can we get to ride 100k on that day? 100? 1,000? 10,000? 100,000?
How to Follow Along?
How do you know if you're doing it right? Well, you can't do it wrong, that is for sure. The #WOMENS100 hashtag is going to be a great place to look to find some of the inspirational women who are helping us get there. Instagram and Twitter, go for it. Strava will also have a page completed by tomorrow to help show how many women have signed up on the day. Also, we have set up an Events tab on the Rapha Facebook Page to help you follow along.
Also, don't miss out on the very impressive Rapha Women's collection and the Festa Della Donna sale this season!

Danaos reports that a large international liner company is to charter the trio for 12 years each, at accretive rates.
The deal takes the Danaos contracted fleet of newbuildings to 34 ships with a total carrying capacity of 243,468 TEU or 160% of its current fleet.
Danaos says the total contract deal size for these three vessels is approximately $450 million and will be financed by own funds and debt. Upon delivery, this three vessel block addition to Danaos' fleet of containerships is expected to contribute annually approximately $ 51 million of additional EBITDA.

Miss Widdecombe: The right hon. Gentleman is rehearsing the inadequacies of the bail system. I agree with him. There is no disagreement on that. Does he accept, however, that the Bill will only compel a judge to give reasons? It will not restrict the availability of bail. If the right hon. Gentleman is serious about wanting to tackle the inappropriate use of bail, would it not be better to do what we want to do, which is to provide that one breach of bail conditions is enough, and that there must never be more than one chance?
Mr. Kaufman: I would not like to be as categorical as the right hon. Lady on this issue. Sometimes, when I listen to her, I think to myself, "I wish that I were as confident of anything as she is of everything."
The key feature is that the courts should use their judgment. Magistrates and judges know the facts. There are cases where the accused have a right to bail, but I do not want what might be called the profligate use of bail in circumstances such as those that I have described. I do not think that there is any serious difference between the
I thank my right hon. Friend for all his work and for the close attention that he pays to the situation in my constituency and to legislation as a whole. I say on behalf of my constituents that we look to ever-increasing results. We do not want only some crime statistics to be improved; we want them all to be better. We want villains like those to whom I have referred not to be let out on bail. We want them to be sent to prison with long sentences so that they are not a danger to the community. As the Bill is moving towards that situation and has many good provisions, I welcome it. As always, in my sycophantic way, I congratulate my right hon. Friend.
Mr. John Major (Huntingdon): There is a great deal in the Bill with which I can agree and to which I offer a fair wind. I would have happily said much of what the right hon. Member for Manchester, Gorton (Mr. Kaufman) said. Indeed, in some instances I did so some years ago. I am delighted that we share a view. He mentioned in passing that he was a shadow Home Secretary. He was too modest to say that he was a first-class shadow Home Secretary. I always admired his work. I trust that one day he will be able to resume that eminent role, and that day may not be too far away.
I shall concentrate on what is in the Bill and on what I hope the Home Secretary may be inclined to add to the Bill in Committee. For years, Huntingdon Life Sciences in my constituency has been conducting Government- licensed experiments on animals to help research into cures for human ailments. The vast majority of local and political opinion on both sides of the political fence has been outspoken in favour of the research--not least, perhaps, because the Thalidomide Trust is based in my constituency. If experiments to the same depth as are now undertaken on animals had previously been conducted, the thalidomide tragedy might well have been avoided.
At Huntingdon, and at other places, experiments are taking place in an effort to try to find cures for cancer, AIDS, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, asthma and other life-threatening ailments. I strongly support that valuable and necessary research. Others, however, do not: animal rights activists have opposed all of it. Some of them are animal lovers who wish to demonstrate peaceful opposition to something that they find distasteful. I believe that they are wrong, but they are entitled to their views. We have a long tradition of tolerance of peaceful protest, even concerning views with which we personally tend to disagree.
However, the animal rights movement is not composed wholly of such peaceful protesters--far from it. It is led and guided by what I can only call an anarchist minority using the tactics of urban terrorism. It is worth illustrating briefly some of the things that have happened in Huntingdon. Activists have fire-bombed cars outside my constituents' homes; they have attacked cars by throwing concrete blocks at them; and they have assaulted employees physically by spraying cleaning fluid in their eyes. There have been threatening phone calls by day and night and abusive letters--having seen some of them, hate
Those threats are made against ordinary people carrying out their work, licensed, as necessary, by successive Governments. That is by no means all that the animal rights activists have done. They have used other unpleasant tactics: they have ordered services or purchases in the names of employees working on experimentation; published false advertisements in their names; and even, distastefully, ordered a hearse to collect the body of a loved one from someone's house.
It is easy for us to understand how distressing that thuggish behaviour can be. I stress that it is by good fortune alone that no one has yet been killed by those anarchists. One day, however, if those people continue to act as they have been doing, somebody will be killed. They have held demonstrations, sometimes large ones, outside private homes, including mine--but, unlike my constituents, I am pretty well protected. There have been large demonstrations in Cambridgeshire, not least in the city of Cambridge, as the hon. Member for Cambridge (Mrs. Campbell) will know. They are carefully planned and generally controlled by their leaders, not at the demonstrations themselves but some way away on mobile phones. Although far from the action, the leaders are intent on creating maximum disruption.
I accept peaceful protest, but such actions go far beyond peaceful demonstrations. The activists use similar tactics against secondary targets, especially if they think that they will be weak-kneed enough to give in to their threats. None of that behaviour is acceptable, and we need changes in the law--in the Bill, I hope--to protect innocent employees, companies, directors and shareholders alike. I had an opportunity to thank the Home Secretary for his actions on that front a few moments ago. I also express my thanks to the noble Lord Sainsbury for his action in helping to bring about the financial rescue of Huntingdon Life Sciences from the difficulties that it had run into, predominantly as a result of those demonstrations. Lord Sainsbury did an excellent job and I am most grateful to him.
Mr. A. J. Beith (Berwick-upon-Tweed): It is not only at Huntingdon that the effects have been felt; staff in many other places are fearful. Many research companies are internationally owned, and it is important that it be clear that we are taking active steps to deal with such things, because investment decisions are being made about the future location of that research.
Mr. Major: The right hon. Gentleman is right, and I intend to turn to that point later. We are of one mind on this issue.
I understand that the Home Secretary has some proposals in mind. I strongly welcome his willingness to take action, although I have not yet had the opportunity to study his proposals in detail. It is essential that we soon amend existing legislation to prevent violent activists from maintaining personal information that enables them to target individual employees, directors and shareholders. Such targeting is unpleasant and often frightening for people going about their ordinary business. They are not
I shall briefly touch on some of the changes that are necessary. We must look at ways to make it possible for all directors and shareholders potentially at risk--not every director and shareholder, but those who could arguably be at risk from the activists--to register their interest in a company such as Huntingdon Life Sciences in a fashion that protects their private addresses from public scrutiny. Of course, the registrar should have their private addresses, but we should consider the various options for preventing that information becoming generally available to people who will misuse it.
That will not be easy, and the change will need to be carefully managed, but there are a number of ways in which it could be achieved, and I hope that the Home Secretary will incorporate one or other of them in the Bill. I look forward to discussing that with him on another occasion. I regard the change as extremely important, for I have seen the anguish caused by what has happened.
I come to the point made by the right hon. Member for Berwick-upon-Tweed (Mr. Beith). After Huntingdon Life Sciences obtained new financial backers from abroad, and the protesters were frustrated in their bid to close down the company and its work, one of the leading activists appeared on the media claiming that his movement would soon identify the new financial backers and target them.
I cannot recall the exact words that that activist used, but I recall the flavour of them, and I recall the gist of what he said. It was, I thought, a threat: "We have friends even in America, and we will get them." As I heard the interview, that seemed, given the activists' record, to be a threat of promised violence which ought of itself to be an offence, not something to be uttered with impunity time after time in various parts of the media.
We need also to borrow from trade union legislation and make it an offence--the Home Secretary touched on this--to protest against individuals in their homes and, in addition, to prevent secondary activity, such as protests against financial institutions or pension fund investors, and the staff who work for financial institutions or pension investors.
The present laws are shown by the new problem to be inadequate on a number of fronts. The harassment legislation certainly needs amendment, not least to make it more appropriate for the police to use it to prohibit the incitement of harassment and intimidation. At present, it is ineffective for that purpose. I have had some experience of trying to frame ways of dealing with such problems, and I understand only too clearly the difficulties that the Home Secretary and his Ministers will have in framing legislation to cover these points. It will not be easy, but it is possible and we must reconsider existing legislation.
The Malicious Communications Act 1988, for example, illustrates the problem. The Home Secretary touched on that earlier. Section 1(2) of that Act states:
Threats against individuals are not justifiable in any circumstances. In any event, without wishing to be flippant, I should have thought that the precise wording of that subsection was so woolly that it would make it possible for any taxpayer to indict the Inland Revenue under it. Unless the Home Secretary amends it, people may take that advice and do so.
We clearly need to examine existing legislation to deal with emerging problems. Many other changes need to be made, but discussion of those may not be appropriate for a Second Reading debate in which many hon. Members want to speak. I am grateful to the Home Secretary for agreeing to see me so that I may put some detailed suggestions to him. I look forward to that meeting.
I shall touch on one other point, in conclusion. It would be immensely helpful to the industry, to which the Minister and his team have recently given such support, if in his winding-up speech this evening, the Minister of State could confirm the following points unambiguously: first, that the present UK legislation governing the introduction of new medicines demands that they be tested on animals before human trials can occur; secondly, that animal tests are also demanded by regulatory authorities to ensure the safe manufacture, transport and use of agrochemicals and other chemicals; thirdly, to confirm that, in the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 enforced by the Home Office inspectorate, as the Home Secretary said earlier, the UK has the strictest regulations governing the conduct of animal research that can be found in any country in the world; and fourthly, that the current legislation demands that in safety testing, researchers must assure the Home Office that no non-animal alternative tests are available before authority is given for any testing on animals.
I ask for those points to be unambiguously made by the Minister of State, because each and every one of them is perverted by those who oppose the research, and much public opinion accepts the rebuttal of those points. It would be immensely helpful to have them clearly and unambiguously stated by a responsible Minister.

The new criteria for planning performance designation allows the secretary of state to rule on planning if councils don't meet 50% of decisions on major developments within the statutory time limit. This toughens up previous guidelines, which was 40%.
Steve Ingram, the Society's Junior Vice President, told Inside Housing that "all planning authorities are now familiar with the 'speed of decisions' targets/relationship to the potential threat of designation - and they are all typically working hard to improve the efficiency of their decision taking."
Ingram added, "However the ramping up of the criteria for designation will further increase the pressure on planning authorities - and that fact should ideally be reflected in any ongoing thinking regarding the resources that are made available to support effective decision making; i.e. even the development industry are now recognising the fact that high quality local authority planning teams need to be appropriately resourced."

Chlamydiae are gram-negative bacteria which cause diverse diseases of humans and animals. Chlamydia trachomatis, the focus of this work, causes the blinding eye disease trachoma, and reproductive tract infections. Trachoma affects 500 million individuals of whom seven million are blind. Chlamydia is the most common reproductive tract infection and can cause pelvic inflammatory disease and tubal infertility. In both cases treatment with antibiotics is effective but they may not be available, recurrent infection is common and the long-terrn complications irreversible. A vaccine is needed but attempts at developing one have met with limited success. The recent discovery of a family of antigenic surface proteins, the polymorphic membrane proteins, has revitalised the search for potential vaccine candidates. One member of this family, pmpG, was cloned in two fragments and the recombinant products expressed and purified. Humoral and cellular responses to these and other chlamydial antigens, and to common recall antigens, were examined in human subjects in The Gambia using immunoblotting, whole blood assay and cytokine ELISA techniques. Children with active trachoma, adults with trachomatous scarring and women with tubal infertility were examined, together with matched controls. PmPG was shown to be a target of both humoral and cellular responses. These responses were more commonly directed towards the amino- (PmpGa), rather than carboxylterminal (PmpGc) fragment. Antibodies to PmPGa were associated with a reduced risk of active trachoma but antibodies to PmpGc were associated with conjunctival scarring. PmPGa stimulated the production of TNFa, IFNy and TGFb. Children with active trachoma produced higher levels of TNFa and IL-10 than controls in response to PmPGa. High levels of IL-10 in response to both chlamydial and common recall antigens were noted in children with active trachoma and this may be a mechanism by which Chlamydia survives intracellularly. Responses to other chlarnydial proteins were characterised and an association between intestinal helminth infection and conjunctival scarring was noted.

Review #1 (Астория II, Лондон, Англия, 02.06.03)
Привет всем!.. Мой парень и я собирались на поезд в Лондон, но у нас была 2-часовая задержка:-( У меня была лишь 1 мысль: "Я хочу быть напротив сцены, я хочу быть напротив сцены", я по-настоящему нервничала из-за того, что у меня может не получиться попасть туда, но получилось! Это было замечательно быть прямо напротив сцены в таком маленьком зале!
Я была счастлива, когда Долорес спустилась со сцены, чтобы прикоснуться к нашим рукам! Концерт был по-настоящему замечательным! Мне действительно понравилось! Новые песни были чудесными, хотя они еще не до конца сделаны. В конце выступления мы вышли и ждали, ждали, ждали… Мне нужно было в туалет… и предсталяет? Да! Да! Они уже ушли, но я увидела Ферга на другой стороне улицы и побежала к нему (не оглядываясь на машины) Я попросила его сфотографироваться, и он согласился! Но… у меня не было с собой фотоаппарата… Я дала ее кому-то другому, когда пошла в туалет.:(:(:( Я побежала обратно за камерой, а Фергал был все еще здесь. Он чудесный! Я также сфотографировалась с Майком (он очень милый), но не сфотографировалась с Ноэлом.:( Мне понравился этот концерт, он стоил того, чтобы съездить на него!
Целую, Барбара (aka Little Dolores)
Review #2 (Astoria II, London, England, 02.06.03)
The gig at the Astoria was awesome! This was the first time me and my mate Dan had seen you guys (he almost got Delores red T-shirt we were that close to the front)!! Was so surprised when you played 'Loud and Clear' and 'Pretty' as I adore both songs! It was hard to take pictures as many people had their heads in the way but I got a couple of good ones that will be going up on my wall I dont agree with taking cameras off of everyone we have all paid for a ticket and have some write to remembering the occasion visually in the furture. Anyway great gigs guys hope to see you again Bex xx
Review #3 (Astoria II, London, England, 02.06.03)
Hello, I saw you guys at the astoria last night and you were brilliant, the venue was strangely cosy. I have just read the concert review and have noticed the poster specifically advertising the London Astoria show (Monday, 2nd June) pictured at http://www.cranberries.ie/nonflash/news/londonastoria.html. There weren't any selling at the concert and i would really like it if you could tell me how to get hold of one. i would really, really, really appreciate it, please, please, please. i also have another query. at the Manchester gig in decemner, delores through out some teddies, i thought i saw one on the right hand of the stage (our right), but she didnt throw it out. Was it one of the gifts someone had thrown to her or did she just forget to throw it on?!(webmasters note: The Teddy came from a fan and was redistributed by Dolores! Also, the London poster was never printed in large quantities, and no extras were printed for us!)
Review #4 (Astoria II, London, England, 02.06.03)
I'm a french fan who traveled to london in order to see the cranberries, just 3 days before the begining of my exams. Not very serious but I couldn't miss the only concert of the year (for me)..Yeah why did you choose to put your tour just when i have to go to my exam..:-p So monday 2nd june, we ( Mully, an other french fan) and me were in front of the astoria at 12.00am, determined to be in the first row, in front of the scene ( yeah we are 1st row addicts..). We queued 7 hours. During the queue we met a lot of French fan (where are you english fans?There was a lot of foreigner!). It was really pleasant! Special greats to Mully, Fabienne, Seb, Mickael and Stephane.What can I say about the show? It was FANTASTIC, THE best concert i've ever seen from you (it was my 5th concert). Just a question: why did you cancel a song in the tracklist? I really liked the 2 new song, especialy "In it together". I'm sure it will be really appreciated! I loved it! Monday, there was a REALLY good audience, salvation was fantastic too!! And Dolores came to touch our hands. So did she with mine, and she must have recognized me since she came nexter to me and I kissed her!!She stayed a few second in front of me! I was the only one who kissed her!! THANK YOU Dolores, I can't express all my feelings..But i want to THANK YOU for this concert! Please go in France!! Lots of love Laura ( the girl with the red LEVI'S T-shirt in the 1st row ;o) )

Hi to all the band, Since The Cranberries weren't coming to us on this tour we decided it was worth it to go to them. I first saw The Cranberries in Paris Bercy when the dvd was filmed I loved the performance so much that I jumped at the chance to see them in my home town Glasgow in December last year. By now I was hooked so me and a few friends flew down to London to see you because we didn't want to miss out. We weren't disapointed. A great performance as usual, I loved your ever changing t-shirts Dolores!! I am looking forward to new material "In it together" and "Astral Projection" sounded great. Come back to the Uk soon!!

Hi guys ! My name is MULLY I'm French fan and London Astoria gig was the third I saw . There's no words to describe what I've felt during this show …No words to describe my pleasure to see and ear you one more time . Show will always remember… We ( Laura and me ) have been waiting for 7 hours when the doors were opened… It was long but luckily a lot of french fans were there and it was great to talk with them.I don't know why, but sometimes Dolores frightened me, especially when she stared at me that's why I just touched her arm when she came down the stage to greet the public…This show was so great …Hoping to see you soon IN FRANCE this time .MULLY© Crazy French Fan PS/ Special Thanks for Laura, Mickael , Seb & Fabienne from London
Review #7 (Astoria II, London, England, 02.06.03)
Thank you so much for a *fantastic* concert at the London Astoria. We queued up for nearly 7 hours, and still weren't the first in the queue! But it was worth the wait. You were all great and the atmosphere was fantastic. I was front row, which was amazing. I went to the Manchester gig in December, where you handed me a drumstick (was *SO* chuffed at that, thanks), and at Astoria you came offstage and shook my hand! I didn't think it would be possible to make the concert even better than that at Manchester, but you did! As you shook my hand I told you that I loved you and you winked at me.. hehe. I love you all! Mike, I was the annoying one on the front row who kept looking at you and even got you to pose for me to take a photo of you! It turned out great by the way – you also made my day at the Manchester gig as I have your autograph. ) Well thank you all for an amazing night. I can't wait to see you all in concert again, but until then you'll be playing on my hifi Take care and keep those new songs coming, they were great. Jenny xxxx
Review #8 (Astoria II, London, England, 02.06.03)
Hi Dolores, Noel, Mike and Fergal !!! My name is Mickael from France, first of all, thank you for this great performance in such a small venue, it was awesome even if it was smaller than the Olympia in Paris. As you guys are not coming in France this time, i decided to come to you in London. It was a very long journey, i left my hometown at 7 am and arrived at 4pm in London at the Astoria(no time to visit). I really enjoyed the show and i think the new songs are great. I was just disappointed that you didn't play Hollywood, Stars and You and me like you did in belfast last week…(why your concerts in UK are always smaller than in any other countries ?) It was amazing to see that in such a small attendance a big part of the fans were coming from many europeans countries and not only England ( what is going in London ?, in Paris or Milan it would have been sold out in 2 days !!!!). As the show ended, i stayed outside talking with other fans like Anna-Maria from Poland (yes, you're popular there too) and walked around the corner hoping to catch someone, but nobody….and maybe one hour later as we were about to leave a bit disappointed, the backdoor opened and it was Fergal !!!! followed by Noel and Mike, there were only few people still waiting like i did, it was the first time i could see you guys in person ! even if it was my sixth show since april 2002, PARIS bercy, Paris Olympia, Strasbourg, Brussels, Amsterdam and now London, i was really happy and i want to thank you for the little time you shared with us, signing stuff and making photos, it's nothing but it's also a LOT, your kindness is also a reason why we like you so much, the fact that Noel remembered the face of my friend Stephane since the meet and greet in Manchester last december was very cool ! I still cannot realize how was the past day for me, i just can't wait to see you on Sunday the 8th in Bolzano !!! 2000 Kms to see you there from my hometown, but i will be there with other french fans, I just HOPE you will play more songs this time like you did in Belfast !!! please make my wish come true !I hope you'll have as much fun doing this tour than we have by coming to see you and maybe next time i will see Dolores too, who knows ??
Review #9 (Astoria II, London, England, 02.06.03)
…to all the band for a great gig in London on the 2nd June.A very tight set (as usual), myself, my mum, my sister and my cousins thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!!! After Monday, I'm now eagerly awaiting your next release, as the two new songs sounded great, esp. In it Together…. We liked that one!I was wondering whether you had ever considered getting a backing singer in on the live shows (for Delores), because if there is one thing missing (and I'm not saying there is!), it's Delores' fantastic harmonies. If you ever do think about it, I'd love the chance to audition!!!Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for the show, cos it's now 2 days afterwards, and I'm still walkin' around singin! Tanx for reading, Gem…xx.
Review #10 (Astoria II, London, England, 02.06.03)
Saw the show on 2nd of June London Astoria. It was the best gig ever. Much better than when you played at the Hammersmith Apollo last year (although I'd of thought that was impossible). I think the seated venue wasn't such a good idea. The Astoria gig was amazing. What more can I say except you nearly blew my ears off and I had to move to the back. Thank you Jon P (P.S loved the new songs, especially Astral Projection)
Review #11 (Astoria II, London, England, 02.06.03)
hi delores we were stood in line as you turned into the venue in your silver car, we missed an photo oppurtunity as don your husband blocked our view. It was nice to see you first before anyone else.As we were entering the venue the security took our tickets and asked to look at my camera and i did not receive my camera back untill after the show. I was very dissappointed as their was other fans with their cameras in the venue. I agree with taking the cameras but should be taken off everyone. This is my 4th time and my wifes 2nd time seeing you and we both agree you get better each time (well i mean the whole band).Loved the way you came off the stage to meet the fans, pity we wasn't one of them. Hope it all goes well for the rest of the tour and with the rolling stones. Thanks ever so much ,say hi to the lads and up limerick.Mr Flanagan, Basingstoke.
Review #12 (Astoria II, London, England, 02.06.03)
Saw you at Wembley a few years ago – great BUT, like watching ants on the stage and had to rely on the big screen. It was fantastic to see you at the Astoria last night. We were right at the back but almost managed to get wet when you threw the water over the crowd. Loved the way you built the music up and wiped the crowd into a frenzy by the end. Can't wait for the new album. Hope to see you back in London soon! Andy, Ripley, Surrey
Review #13 (Astoria II, London, England, 02.06.03)
The London gig on the 2nd of June was fantastic. I really enjoyed it. I had been looking fowards to the gig for ages and it was sooo worth the wait! Every song that I wanted to hear was played- except for saving grace, I can live with that though as the concert was so fantastically great! Although I was dying with the heat, I wished you guys could have gone on and on and on!!Thank you so much for being fabulous! Please come back soon and do loads more gigs in England, Love you guys, Sam xxx
Review #14 (Astoria II, London, England, 02.06.03)
Hi to Dolores and co, Last night at the London Astoria was fantastic as ever, it had loads of energy in the set, which included the usual crowd pleasers like Zombie and Linger but also a few new songs 'Astral Projection' which had great power cords and one which hasn't even been recorded yet! By the end of the nite the whole crowd was singing and shouting for more even though the place was as hot as a furnace, no one wanted to go home. All the best James / London.
Review #15 (Astoria II, London, England, 02.06.03)
Hi there i recently saw the show you performed at London Astoria on 2 june 2003 and it was amazing!! The whole show was just unbelievable and i would like to thank you for making so. thanks again, ..you rock! Matt Palacio

Obama plans to make his 'fundamental transformation' irreversible – no matter who succeeds him
(LONDON DAILY MAIL) — Grisly photos of a young woman lying beside her baby which had been aborted by force in her seventh month of pregnancy have caused outrage in China.
Pictures purporting to show the woman and her blood-covered baby have shocked anti-abortion groups in China – and fury is spreading around the world.
The Pink Pagoda: One Man's Quest to End Gendercide in China (Autographed)
The mother, Feng Jianmei, told local media that she was forceably injected with a chemical to induce an abortion and her child was stillborn 36 hours later.
Because she already had a child, said Feng, local birth-control authorities ordered her to pay a fine of £4,000.
Join right now in what could be the largest single volunteer campaign to save lives ever launched.
She didn't have the money, she said, so a team from the local family planning authority in Shannxi province came to collect her from her home and take her to hospital for the forced abortion.

|Our Sap house is nestled in a small town in the heart of the Catskill Mountains. During the 70's and 80's syrup was made as a hobby and production on a larger scale started in 1991. We are very proud to again be producing Maple products utilizing the same sap bushes my Grandfather did in the 40's and 50's. (see picture below of Burton Reed's sap house) We currently have 3000 taps on vacuum and are working to increase that number.
|Through the combined effort of Burton Reed, Lee Buel, Harvey Gray, and Leon Howard syrup was made in this building. First on the farm of Lee Buel and when he retired Burt moved the sap house and evaporator to its present location. When the barn burned in 1959, they moved to the neighboring farm. The sap house remained on the old farm and is now used for storage by the Hanson and Peterson families.

We will continue to look for non-traditional events that showcase the dynamic interaction that occurs when athletes with and without disabilities are paired together to achieve a common goal.
Westhampton Beach, NY (PRWEB) August 05, 2014
Ten disabled athletes age 22 to 60 will join ten able-bodied athletes to travel 22 nautical miles by sea kayak along the Long Island coast during national non-profit World T.E.A.M. Sports' August 12-13 Coastal Team Challenge.
Created in partnership with Long Island non-profit Independent Home Living Program and national financial services company American Portfolios Financial Services Inc., the overnight journey along the island's southern coast from Westhampton Beach to Patchogue will not be easy for these developmentally and physically-disabled athletes. Rowing along the sea lane between rest stops, the athletes will undertake the many challenges of open water boating, from tides to fast-moving summer showers to wakes from passing ships. Close teamwork and cooperation between team members will help these athletes safely reach their destinations.
"I've always wanted to bring World T.E.A.M. Sports to Long Island and could not think of a more perfect outdoor inclusive challenge—a coastal team kayak adventure in its surrounding waters—with a highly regarded organization—IGHL—in which to launch this inaugural event," said Lon Dolber, Chief Executive Officer of American Portfolios Financial Services, an independent broker-dealer that is serving as the event's presenting sponsor. "I am excited at the prospect of this becoming a Long Island community tradition to be held every year," he said.
A primary sponsor of World T.E.A.M. Sports' 2009 Pacific Northwest Coastal Team Challenge that included injured Canadian and American military veterans, American Portfolios has enthusiastically supported inclusive sporting events from the Holbrook, New York non-profit. Serving as a member of World T.E.A.M. Sports' board of directors, Dolber encourages the organization to create new events that challenge athletes with disabilities.
"World T.E.A.M. Sports is excited about the return of this event," said Chief Executive Officer and President Van Brinson. "Adding the Challenge back to our lineup expands our outreach of fully inclusive events. We will continue to look for non-traditional events that showcase the dynamic interaction that occurs when athletes with and without disabilities are paired together to achieve a common goal."
Using Hobie two-person Mirage Oasis kayaks, the teams will remain within sight of land during their non-competitive journey. Rest stops scheduled for each day will keep the athletes fresh, fed and hydrated. In addition, power boats will travel alongside the teams to provide assistance for unexpected emergencies.
Following camping on the beach at Smith Point County Park, the athletes will have a choice of routes on August 13. A shorter northern route of eight nautical miles or a longer southern route of 14 nautical miles provide teams with different challenges. All teams will arrive at Leeward Cove Marina in Patchogue by mid-afternoon for a celebration at Dublin Deck with friends, families and followers of a successful completion.
Sponsors and partners for World T.E.A.M. Sports' 2014 Coastal Team Challenge include Independent Home Living Program, American Portfolios Financial Services, TimeCapital and Capital One Bank. Each partner provides valued support for the Challenge, from sponsorship funding to logistical support to volunteer assistance.
About World T.E.A.M. Sports
World T.E.A.M. Sports is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization chartered in North Carolina and headquartered in Holbrook, New York. Since 1993, World T.E.A.M. Sports has organized athletic events for disabled and able bodied citizens – mountain climbing, white water rafting, biking, and more. Four things always happen at our events: (1) Disabled participants build self-confidence and physical fitness; (2) The disabled provide a role model for other disabled citizens, encouraging them to take up physical activities; (3) The disabled become a moving inspiration to other participants and to spectators when they see that disabled individuals can meet challenges beyond anyone's imagination; and (4) The disabled and able-bodied participants learn to work as a team to overcome those challenges. World T.E.A.M. Sports changes lives through sports.

Consumers who take the time to fill out information online have an expectation to be contacted by an adviser. First contact interviews are generally over the phone. A critical component of first contact is educating- not selling the prospect. Another key component is differentiating yourself from other advisers without tooting your own horn.

The Dark Horse Comic Collection at the Portland State University Library provides a unique legacy for Oregon's premier comics company. Dark Horse Comics was founded in 1986 by PSU alumni Mike Richardson, Class of 1977, as an offshoot of his comic book retail chain, Pegasus Books (founded in 1980). Dark Horse has since grown to become the third largest American comics company. PSU alumni, Neil Hankerson, Class of 1972, joined the company in 1987 and became its Executive Vice President. This major collection honors the importance of the comics format, while providing PSU students, faculty, and researchers access to these works. This gift provides copies of all materials produced by Dark Horse, resulting in a complete and preserved collection of the Dark Horse corpus. It is a unique research and browsing collection of comic books, graphic novels, collected editions, related books, statues, figures, and other materials.
The Research Collection
The research collection contains one copy of every Dark Horse comic book, graphic novel, collected edition, book, print, poster, statue, figure, and all other products. The research collection is available by appointment in Special Collections, 1st Floor, Room 180, for scholarly use.
The Browsing Collection
The browsing collection is available on the third (call numbers A – K), fourth floor (call numbers L – R), and fifth floor (call numbers S – Z). of the Library along the curved windows. There is one copy of every Dark Horse comic book, graphic novel, collected edition, and book. The collection is available for reading in the Library or for checkout. In addition, these works are available for Interlibrary Loan to other libraries. Records for all of these items are in the Library catalog.
About Mike Richardson
After graduating with a degree in art from Portland State University in 1977 where he played basketball for the Vikings, Mike Richardson established himself as a business leader in the Portland metropolitan area with a successful chain of retail comic-book shops he founded in 1980. In 1986, he used the profits from his chain of bookstores and founded Dark Horse Comics, Inc. Richardson determined early on that great stories were great stories no matter the medium in which they're told. This belief led him to explore the world of film-making, and he established his own film-making company, Dark Horse Entertainment, in 1992. In 1994, the company produced The Mask with Jim Carey, followed by TimeCop, with Jean Claude Van Damme, several months later. Both films, featuring characters created by Richardson, were major hits. In the years that followed, Dark Horse Entertainment produced numerous films both critically and commercially successful. In 2007, Richardson won a Primetime Emmy for producing Mr. Warmth: The Don Rickles Project for HBO.
Today Dark Horse Comics, a company founded on a desire to improve and protect the rights of industry writers and artists, is the third largest comic-book publisher in the U.S. The company is also recognized as the world's leading publisher of licensed comics material. Its commitment to creator rights and high quality products caused Hero Illustrated magazine to name Dark Horse President Mike Richardson "the most important person in comics." In 2006, Portland State University named Richardson as an "Outstanding Portland State University Alumnus."

Perhaps a shorter objection is better:
1) how do we know that morality is not a spandrel?
2) even if it is not, how do we have an obligation to the intent of evolution, in what sense are beholden to funtion? Function, evolution, natural selection are not moral agents. What is it that puts us in some contractual commitment to following their intentions? If the argument is not that we are beholden but rather X is what morality is for, so we should use it as X, a more determinist connection, then we don't have to worry about adhering to the function, since whatever we do is a product of evolutionarily-created function. Once I am supposed to follow evolution, use my adaptions, well, how can I fail? And if I fail as an individual, I am still testing for my species and if my approach was poor it will be weeded out. No harm, no foul.
