Dr. Morgan stood facing the GenomCo President, Sondra Raines, M.B.A., and the eight other staff scientists who ran labs for the small, elite, privately owned genetics research company. There was a slight smirk to his mouth and his voice was, if not condescending, certainly also not humble.
"We have gone as far as we can go, however, in the labs, Ms. Raines. We are at the point in our research where we must provide results for our corporate sponsors, and in order to do so, we must proceed with a full clinical trial without further delay."
Ms. Raines steepled her fingers, letting them tap, manicured nail-tip against manicured nail-tip, in a disconcerting pattern as she spoke.
"I would need assurances that the experimental subjects would not be as …blatant… as your alpha subjects. We have 300 neo-humans in that compound in Jerhattan that we don't dare let the public find out about. All we need is another batch of those and we'll go broke."
"Assuredly, Ms. Raines. The alpha group was a valuable experiment in the most extreme adaptations. The neo-human subjects from our clinical trials on that project succeeded _much_ better than we had any reason to expect, and their continued health and vigor is a testament to the broadest applications of my research. We did not expect to have so many live past puberty, much less find that their traits were, indeed, reproducible in future generations. Admittedly, they are far too exotic to be released into society, but I have my hopes that our corporate sponsors, who have been negotiating on several key projects, will find them suitable for acquisition on at least one of those projects.
"At the same time, Ms. Raines, I certainly concede the expense issues. Having refined our procedures considerably, we are planning on working with a _much_ smaller sample this time. In addition, the last experimental batch of animal subjects in the delta series was normal to all outward appearances at termination. Potentially visible mutations appeared in less than 2% of the total subjects. The remainders were developing adaptations that would be essentially unnoticed, even with careful scrutiny. Most changes were simple matters of eye color, muscle mass…places where we expect to see diversity. Some might be considered unusual, but there is virtually no chance that anyone could pick out one of our delta group subjects as being genetically altered. Even under dissection, less than 10% of the delta group subjects displayed notable anomalies. We have also corrected the life-expectancy problems discovered in the beta and gamma groups."
"How old were the subjects at termination, Doctor?"
"They ranged from 22 weeks gestation to four years of age, Ms. Raines, with the last group of mammalian adolescents–rhesus monkeys–showing no significant abnormalities at all at termination."
Ms. Raines nodded and scanned the sheet of colorful charts in the binder before her.
"So you wish to begin tests with human genotypes again, Doctor?"
"Yes. In order to proceed, we are planning to implant, gestate and follow 35 genetically altered prototype fetuses. We will be using a much smaller sample than the alpha genotypes, and will be introducing these specimens into the community from birth."
"Where are you planning on getting host mothers for these creations of yours, Morgan?"
Mousy, shifty-eyed Dr. Hazen didn't bother to ask for the floor, confrontation and hostility radiating tangibly from her slight, stoop-shouldered form.
"That has all been taken care of, _Doctor_ Hazen. We have a comprehensive program and surrogates of our own creation. These creatures have been bred to breed, so to speak. They are unambitious, not particularly greedy, except for food and a healthy measure of 'strokes' from their nurses, are nearly imbecilic and unable to speak or reason."
Dr. Hazen's brow went up and she sat back in her chair with a curt nod.
From the furthest end of the table, one of the more meek scientists raised a hand tentatively. At a nod from Ms. Raines, he looked at Dr. Morgan.
"Dr. Morgan, how are you planning on integrating these experimental subjects into society? Surely their surrogate hosts can't raise them. You've said yourself that the hosts are essentially mindless."
Dr. Morgan smiled. The smile had an eerie tinge to it, as if a cloud of yellow, sulphurous smoke had suddenly risen in front of the Doctor's sharply chiseled features.
"That is an excellent question, Dr. Windham. I propose that we take advantage of an… unfortunate situation that has developed."
He paused, scanning the length of the boardroom table, his gaze finally stopping at the Chairman's seat.
"As you know, our pharmaceutical division has been promoting a drug for men, Invigra, that would increase their sexual potency, providing longer, stronger erections and more…shall we say.. satisfying orgasms, as well as 'improving' their general interest and stamina. All of the results to date have been impressive. Even men with perfectly normal sexual capacity have been contacting their physicians to acquire this 'wonder drug' for better sex.
"All of you are aware of an additional effect of this medication–one that was never discussed with the FDA or the general public. This drug was, in fact, more than it seemed. It was marketed to improve sexual function, but our researchers discovered a side-effect that was unanticipated. It seems that while the drug has, indeed, improved many mens' sex lives, it has provided some measure of disappointment in other areas for young professionals planning on starting a family. It seems that Invigra acts as a male contraceptive. The follow-ups after six months of use confirm permanent or near permanent sterility in males who take Invigra in a manner consistent with packaging recommendations. The result is that a number of couples find that they are unable to conceive a child, despite consistent…umm… effort.
"We are working on R&D to provide significant formulary changes without changing the nature of the drug itself, in order to convince the FDA that this is a new product. We do not want to lose the large market that we have for Invigra. At the same time, the particular side effect that we hope to exploit for these trials is too valuable to pass up. Our researchers in the pharmaceutical division are working to create a completely new drug, using Invigra as a model and hope to obtain FDA approval to market our discovery to take financial advantage of this side effect. But forgive me, I have strayed off topic."
He scanned the table, ignoring Dr. Hazen's cold glare from the seat across from his own.
"Our pharmaceutical researchers discovered this side effect and are working on new research concerning Invigra. In the meantime, we have been monitoring every individual who has taken the drug. While there is no way of connecting this failure to conceive to our pharmaceutical, I feel it is in our corporate and scientific best interests to develop the means to help these infertile couples to have the child of their dreams.
"It is my contention that GenomCo, thorough one of its dummy corporations, should make an 'adoption agency' available, discretely of course, to those couples who have made use of Invigra. They will actually be given the opportunity to provide genetic material from which a child may be developed in vitro, in our laboratories. They can be offered a chance to have a 'designer baby'–selecting for certain characteristics. Of course, we will not offer guarantees on those 'selections'. This is an 'experimental' technique, and we can only do the best we can, yes?"
Morgan schooled is face into a look of solemn pity and deep integrity, then quickly became all business again as he continued.
"The parents can be given the option of signing paperwork at the development stage and having the fetus implanted in the mother at 14 weeks, provided that the mother-to-be passes a stringent physical, or having the child brought to term by one of our…specially developed birth-surrogates."
A hand went up across the table. Dr. Morgan nodded to his colleague with a smile.
"Ah, yes. Dr. Morgan, do you really think that people will go for this? I don't know how many people are going to want genetically altered kids."
"Of course, we will not tell them about the specific genomic alterations we are making, Dr. Hayes. These couples are, in many cases, desperate for a child. It is my contention that they will not only accept the opportunity to use newly discovered 'experimental' techniques to have a child, I believe that they will be willing to _pay_ for the privilege. Further, by making this an exclusive offer to those who have had dealings with GenPharm Bioceuticals via Invigra, we will confirm that division's dedication to 'caring' for our customers and achieve a level of loyalty that is difficult to reach in pharmaceutical customers. I believe that we will find that the customers will select our company's brands more often, and will be less willing to incite lawsuits that might jeopardize their chance to have their 'ideal' family. Our 'counselors' would be sure to remind them that the usual surrogate parenting model results in a 40% loss to legal issues including a surrogate mother who demands and receives custody for 'bearing' the child and a 12% loss to undiagnosed health-related issues. Our parents will be given a 'safe' surrogate structure with no chance that the surrogate mother will try to claim custody later. At the same time, any relationship to GenomCo would be played down into non-existence. The parents would know nothing about the genetic alterations. This is the only way to gather effective data on this project."
Another hand was raised at the table and a young woman spoke up.
"Doctor, what if one of these kids gets sick or has some kind of meltdown? How are we going to keep track of them? What if one of them runs away from home? How are we going to make sure we know what they're turning in to and stop a problem if the alterations cause complications in a child?"
"Well, Dr. Maylan, on the issue of monitoring the research subjects, I believe that we would be easily able to continue in the same 'family support' model, offering the parents 'routine' well-child checkups as part of our ongoing commitment to support. By using staff physicians, the costs to GenomCo and GenPharm would be minimal. Any data that we require could be accumulated by superimposing specialized tests over the routine exams. This would, I believe, raise few eyebrows, because of the experimental nature of the conception process. By this same measure, we would have the ability to hospitalize and potentially selectively terminate any child who could become a hazard to the project or who becomes genetically unstable. As part of the contract, we would, in essence, provide 'guarantees' that if a child were to become 'defective', we would provide a 'replacement', and require that the parents immediately report any unusual behavior or physical deviation. This would also resolve the issue of resources for ongoing research, as we could provide later research subjects to parents who might have to have one of our subjects terminated."
The woman nodded, and raised her finger before she spoke again.
"One more question, Doctor. How would these parents explain their 'babies'–a genetically similar child who was not legally adopted and who was not, in at least a few cases, carried by the biological mother? I see potential legal problems down the road."
"I have considered that, Doctor. We have a comprehensive program in place. We would provide all 'prenatal' care for the mother, and provide her with the means to make the ruse believable, even to her closest friends and family, if she should choose the surrogate model. In fact, using pharmaceuticals created by our own pharmaceutical division, we can even make it possible for the mother who chooses a surrogate birth to breastfeed her new child."
Dr. Morgan looked around the room, clearly pleased with himself .
Dr. Hazen was more than happy to burst his bubble. She tilted her head with a poorly masked sneer.
"I find your choice of surrogate hosts interesting, Morgan. You _have_ heard about the significant indirect data supporting maternal genetic influence on the nursing cell of the placenta. I _assume_ you have some way of preventing either a statistically significant increase in anomalies from your imbecile hosts or accidental correction of the implanted alterations in your healthy mothers. You would have thought of all of that, wouldn't you, Doctor.?"
"As a matter of fact, we have. In our animal studies, we have virtually eliminated the chance of maternal degradation or alteration of the blastocyst and zygote. We have even managed to host higher-order simians in lower order mammals, including kangaroos–which, as you know, are essentially rodents. We have solved the problem by no longer implanting blastocysts, as was the common practice. The embryos now grow in vitro until reaching 14 weeks gestation, then are implanted as embryos."
Dr. Morgan looked decidedly smug.
Dr. Hazen nodded.
"Impressive. What percentage do you lose with this new process. I assume there must be some level of attrition. After all, that's very late for a human-genome placenta to re-implant. That's why it's always been standard practice to implant a blastocyst, before placental development."
Dr. Morgan drew himself up straight as if his shirt had just become a starched board. Ms. Raines watched the interchange with some interest.
"We lose less than 30%, with no chance of accidental genomic deviation after implantation. I doubt that you could give the same success figures on your side of the complex, Doctor"
The smug condescension in his tone as he glanced at the company president, then back across the table at Dr. Hazen was unmistakable.
Ms. Raines dropped her manicured hand flat to the table. There was a sound like a thunder report as her hand slapped on the slick, varnished tabletop. The sound reverberated off the walls for a moment. The two scientists glared at each other from across the table, but neither spoke.
"Does anyone else have further questions for Dr. Morgan?"
Ms. Raines glared at Dr. Hazen and the scientist dropped her chin slightly, though she maintained her antagonistic posture, not bothering to hide her high level of disdain and outright dislike for Morgan, Raines and this whole proceeding.
Ms. Raines stood, with a look of chill derision for Hazen. She proffered a hand to Morgan, bestowing a smile that was nearly genuine.
"Congratulations, Dr. Morgan. It seems to me that you are now more than ready to 'field-test' your high-adaptability genotypes. Come by my office in the morning and I will have the appropriate individuals present to begin implementation of your concept."
"Thank you, Ms. Raines. You will not be displeased with the results, I am sure.


text: Two of three inmates back into custody Posted on April 4, 2017 0 1 91 NELSONVILLE, Ohio (AP) — The second of the three inmates who escaped from a community-based corrections facility in southeast Ohio has been captured. An official at SEPTA Correctional Facility in Nelsonville says 25-year-old Justin Stanley was caught Monday in Newark. Authorities say Stanley and 30-year-old David Skeens escaped from the 112-bed prison in Nelsonville early Saturday while 29-year-old Troy Byrd escaped hours later. Skeens was arrested Saturday morning in Heath, Ohio. Byrd remains on the loose. The state-funded facility houses prisoners from 14 southeast Ohio counties sentenced to a maximum of 180 days for low-level felony crimes. SEPTA supervisor Brenda Ostrander says the men climbed over a fence topped with razor wire to escape. Ostrander says officials have asked the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction to assess security measures at the facility.

This week Nvidia have released their first showcase for the potential of VR in the form of Nvidia's VR Funhouse, a, erm, carnival funhouse simulator! The game offers the player a handful of fun mini-games which – as you might expect – show off some of if not the best graphics seen in VR to date.
There are seven mini-games in total, from the classic carnival game 'Whack a mole', to spraying clowns with green goo in glorious VR. The other mini-games in the VR carnival include; mole boxing (PETA?), shooting flaming arrows at a target, target shooting with revolvers, skeet shooting and finally cutting balloons to pieces with a sword.
Now obviously the VR Funhouse which is being given away for free on steam isn't exactly the AAA title that's going to shake up the gaming world, but it does an incredibly good job of showing what that title may look like. Making use of cool Nvidia physics such as VRWorks and HairWorks, the VR Funhouse looks incredible, showing that top quality VR graphics are attainable with present day gaming rigs, even if this is only a very small scale.
It's really hard to describe the Quality of the visuals without comparing them to real life, although it doesn't go for a photo realism artstyle, the visual effects of things like light shining off the swords and guns, as well as the fire physics combined with the previously mentioned Nvidia physics all come together to provide an eyegasmic experience.
Whilst it would be easy to point out that this is but another WiiSports-esque minigame and that big titles may still be way off in the future – or not as Raw Data shows – let's not forget that Nvidia never usually makes this type of thing and whilst entertaining, the VR Funhouse was never meant than more than Nvidia saying 'look at how excited we are about this whole VR deal'. The VR future is looking bright!
Have you been to the VR Funhouse? What did you think?

Title of Bulletin Board: Which physical activity do you enjoy most?
Category: Physical Activities
Suggested Grade Level: 3-5
Materials: Bulletin board paper, word cutouts
Yellow bulletin board paper was selected because it is bright, but any color will work! I used a "sports-themed" border to draw in the students. Word cut-outs and large foam words were used that identified a variety of physical activities or sports.
The purpose of this bulletin board was to get students to think about ways they could be physically active outside their normal idea of only playing basketball.

QUAD Gallery will be open late for four evenings in July and August, for a chance to play Doug Fishbone's Leisure Land Golf course after work or with the family. Doug Fishbone's Leisure Land Golf is a fully playable, ten-hole artist designed mini golf course. The golf course is the latest exhibition on display in QUAD Gallery, taking visitors on an amusing and thought-provoking journey throughout the Summer Holidays. The installation uses the fun and accessible game of mini-golf as a powerful tool for questioning the leisure industry and society's compulsion for consumption whilst also addressing other important cultural topics from migration to global warming and globalisation. Doug Fishbone's Leisure Land Golf was commissioned and shown at the 56th Venice Biennale by EM15, a collective of arts organisations from the East Midlands, which included QUAD. The artists who have designed the ten holes are: Turner Prize nominee, Yinka Shonibare MBE, John Akomfrah OBE, Hetain Patel, Yara El-Sherbini, Ellie Harrison, Candice Jacobs, Lindsay Seers, Eyal Weizman, Reactor and Doug Fishbone.Leisure Land Late Nights take place in QUAD Gallery on Thursdays 7th & 14th July and 4th & 25th August until 9:00pm.Artist Doug Fishbone will be in QUAD on 23rd July to give an informal talk in the Gallery in July. Known for the use of humour in his work, Doug Fishbone will lead a tour of the exhibition, playing each hole and discussing the key themes on the way.A Round of Golf with Doug Fishbone takes place in QUAD Gallery on Saturday 23rd July, at 12 noon and again at 2:00pm. The event is free and open to all.Doug Fishbone's Leisure Land Golf is on display in QUAD Gallery until Sunday 4th September 2016. The exhibition is free to view, to play the course, the cost is £2 per play, (£1.50 concessions) or £5 for families.

Martin Creed is, to put it plainly, a Scottish contemporary art rockstar. It's true; he has a new album out now. He won the Turner Prize in 2001 for his work entitled Work No. 227: the lights going on and off, which has been acquired recently by Tate Britain. I saw it last December. And with that, it is what it sounds like: the lights going on and off. The gallery room is empty and the lights flick on and off at five second intervals. Sounds like art, right? And like the best art, it's controversial, as it has been since it won the prize in 2001. It can be written off as a joke, a jab at the art establishment by making a commentary about the gallery itself. There is nothing on the walls, just blank white. Instead of paying attention to something in the room, the visitor has to pay attention to the room and what we normally expect to find there. Actually, I find this brilliant, so I think the Turner Prize was rightly won, and with that... moving on.
Martin Creed, who moved to Glasgow when he was a child, was born in England, and studied art in London. But to hear him, you identify his Scottish accent right away. Edinburgh is home to one of his permanent public art installations, The Scotsman Steps. (ie. Work No. 1059) It's a marble staircase in the corner of what is now the Scotsman Hotel (previously home to The Scotsman newspaper) that connects the upper level of North Bridge to the lower Market Street. It's also just kiddy-corner to the Fruitmarket Gallery which commissioned the piece.
// via //
shiny and new // via //
It consists of 104 marble steps from all different locations and of all different hues and patterns. They appear to be arranged randomly with no discernible pattern. The stone is really gorgeous, even littered with cigarette butts from hundreds daily passers-by and dead leaves blown in from who-knows-where. If you didn't know that an internationally-renowned contemporary artist had been commissioned to revive the steps, which had fallen into neglect and become somewhat unsafe, you might not even view the steps as art. To the casual pedestrian, they just look like nice slabs of marble to make a colorful stairway. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's part of the idea.
It also smells like pee.
If you stop long enough to appreciate the stairwell, you'll also appreciate other aspects of it as a stairwell that are much more related to it being a civic space than a piece of artwork. Other than smelling like pee, and the cigarette butts and crisp packets (let's be Scottish for the sake of this post), it gets rained on and is subjected to the dirt and grime of the bottoms of pedestrians' shoes. How many people who piss in that stairwell know they're doing so on a piece of fine art?
I think this is why Martin Creed isn't necessarily a jokester. It's hard to imagine he didn't take these things into consideration when he was commissioned to do the piece. Just like he didn't just flippantly turn the light off in a gallery space and call it art. There was a reason for it and some sort of more refined comment he was trying to make. His tendency to come off as flippant or jokey is, I believe, a product of much careful consideration and planning, knowing just where and how much to jab at the 'art world' to get the desired effect without cheapening the work or the process.
Hayward Gallery's Martin Creed: What's the Point of It? is on through 27 April at Southbank Centre, London.

In December it was revealed that the ECB is buying corporate bonds issued by oil and gas companies as well as car makers, highway construction companies and more. In this way, the ECB is pursuing a strategy that runs contrary to the EU's objectives on climate change.
Since then, 75 organisations have signed an open letter to denounce the policy and a number of researchers are looking into ways the ECB's strategy could be aligned with the need to mitigate climate change.
Building upon those efforts, we have identified a need to deepen civil society's understanding of how the ECB's programme works, and how it fits into a broader economic policy - quantitative easing. Also, a discussion on next steps - what to do separately or together - would be very helpful at this stage.
For those reasons, Friends of the Earth Europe, QE4People and Corporate Europe Observatory invite you to join a half-day seminar in Brussels on the 27th of June. Please save the date, and find a preliminary programme below.

The War on Terror vs. the War on Poverty
Those of us who fight global poverty share a guilty secret: our cause got more attention and resources after September 11, 2001. It soon became clear that there would be an alliance between the "War on Poverty" and the "War on Terror."
But this boost for the cause of the world's poor came at a price for the values of global humanitarian efforts—the loose alliance of private charities, international organizations, and government aid agencies that give aid to poor countries. The connection between the wars on poverty and terror had two unintentional negative consequences that are becoming more evident as time passes. First, it deepened negative stereotypes about the poor that contribute to the current wave of xenophobia against refugees and immigrants in the US and Europe—attitudes suggested by the Brexit vote and the rise of Donald Trump and other far-right leaders. Second, in justifying support for dictatorial regimes, the connection discredited Western advocacy of the ideals of democracy worldwide. We have Trump expressing admiration for authoritarian rulers like Vladimir Putin and in some ways aspiring to be an autocrat himself.
The negative stereotypes about the world's poor got worse during the War on Terror because it was alleged that poverty was the principal cause of terrorism. When he spoke to an international aid conference in March 2002, George W. Bush said that "we fight against poverty because hope is an answer to terror." In July 2005, after the terrorist attack on the London Underground, British Prime Minister Tony Blair said:
Ultimately what we now know, if we did not before, is that where there is extremism, fanaticism or acute and appalling forms of poverty in one continent, the consequences no longer stay fixed in that continent.
The association of "wars" on terror with those on poverty persisted through changes in leaders and parties. In 2014, John Kerry said that "we have a huge common interest in dealing with this issue of poverty, which in many cases is the root cause of terrorism."
As a result the US and UK governments have increased foreign aid to fight the poverty that was allegedly the root of terrorism. The same aid cemented alliances of the US and UK with frontline states in the War on Terror. The unintentional effect was to encourage a stereotype of poor people as terrorists. One well-known economist advising US and UK policy was Paul Collier, whose book The Bottom Billion (2007) conveyed what has become typical of the image of poor countries: "The countries at the bottom coexist with the twenty-first century, but their reality is the fourteenth century: civil war, plague, ignorance."

Coat: Minna Vanilla*
Cami: Topshop (Similiar)
Jeans: ASOS
Shoes: Koi Couture*
Here is part two of my exciting collaboration with Koi Couture! Remember those dreamy black suede boots, well have a look at these beauties! The same style but cropped at the ankle and a tan/suede colour. These are just as comfortable as the others and probably a lot more easier to style since they are more of an ankle boot which allows you to wear them with jeans, skirts and dresses.
I teamed these beautiful booties with my ASOS jeans, Topshop cami and this beautiful light khaki jacket from Minna Vanilla. This was just one of the ways I could have styled this jacket up! You could use a belt to give yourself more of a shape, or you could wear it with a dress. It's super cheap and such a bargain for something so versatile. You could even throw on a jumper for the colder days as it's a great colour to brighten up your outfits with it still suiting the transitional, autumnal colours.
I'm really enjoying shooting on location now! I can't wait to show you more beautiful scenes on my blog as well as some amazing outfits I have planned. I also have shoe boxes up to my eyeballs which I need to style, so I better get my finger out. I have an exciting post coming up about my experience of attending LFW and what my survival tips are so keep an eye out in the next few days!
How would you style these shoes and jacket? I'd love to know.

# 3balls LEVEL:5, 20 minutes
Had troubles with throwing inwards toward me, and my left hand now throwing the ball far enough to my right hand. But still managed to do the pattern the way i wanted plenty of times. Towards the end of this session I had the most trouble, but it wasn't that bad.
# 3balls LEVEL:5, 25 minutes
Okay so i'm feeling accomplished, even though i didn't do much. Practice went well, I didn't struggle as much as last session. I did notice though that i seem to have trouble making the first and second throw (not as bad as first). But, it isn't too bad. I'm getting better. :)
Total practice time: 45 minutes

# 3balls LEVEL:5, 15 minutes
Felt motivated to practice level: 5(starting from my right side) and....BEAT IT!! I was so happy, I didn't expect it to happen. Here is what I did: I made sure my throws were consistent, and going the same height. I made sure to catch without leaning back or reaching forward and I wasn't thinking too much about what i was doing. I think that may have been another unnecessary obstacle that was holding me back.
Total practice time: 15 minutes

Surprisingly i completed it starting from my left, but not from my right. And i made the mistake of practicing an extra longer trying to. >_>
Total practice time: 120 minutes

# 3balls LEVEL:5, 40 minutes
Okay so, instead of using the accuracy tag every session, i'm just going to state right now, that I review earlier levels for accuracy reasons, before working on my current skill level.
So I spent time working on LeveL: 5, And did notably good. I managed to get it 8 times in a row perfect starting from my right hand. Then about 4-7times(i forgot)perfect in a row starting from my left. I did so well, that I can vision throwing the balls perfect.
Total practice time: 40 minutes

# accuracy, 3balls LEVEL: 4, 3balls LEVEL:5, 49 minutes
Reviewed the previous levels then worked on level: 4, and surprisingly completed it starting from both hands. Then i worked on level: 5. While i was working on level: 5, I noticed that I had a bad habit, I get nervous on the first throw(s), which is where i usually mess up.
Total practice time: 49 minutes

Are you sick of Halloween candy yet? Before you make any drastic decisions to throw out the rest of your stash, take a look at these ideas. I went through a lot to make sure I didn't have any extra candy left at the end of the night (lucky, lucky trick-or-treaters!), but now I wish I had some so I could explore these recipes. Especially the above Halloween Candy Bark. I guess I should have spent more time on Pinterest prior to the holiday!

Trick or treat brownies look like fun. A yummy surprise in every bite!
Or how about "one monstrous mash of a candy pie?" This recipe consists of throwing whatever candy you have into a pie crust and baking it for 30 to 40 minutes. It doesn't get any easier than that!

After doing a bit of research I found lots of opportunities to work in exchange for room and board. This seemed like the perfect solution to my problem. Not only would I cut my costs in half, I would also be able to immerse myself in the local culture and hopefully make some friends as well.
I volunteered at two places while I travelled around Greece. One was a fig farm just outside of Athens, not such a great experience. The other was the Silva Riding Project on Corfu Island.
At any given time there was about six or more volunteers, all ranging in age. I became great friends with these volunteers. On our days off we would venture into town, take part in trivia night at the local pub and sit around a bonfire on the beach.
Do you have a similar experience that you would like to share?

This is the final week of the legislative session, in which the Illinois General Assembly turns into a sequel to ``Animal House.`` Bills that have been piling up all spring are shoveled through in marathon sessions; House and Senate give up on the difficult ones and turn them over to conference committees to settle; some fun-loving legislators turn to horseplay, which is sometimes hard to distinguish from their normal efforts.
An example is an amendment offered by Sen. Frank Savickas (D., Chicago)-- promptly voted through by the Senate--that would allow 10-year veterans of the legislature to become lawyers right away, without having to go through law school. (As he observed, legislators make laws, so why shouldn`t they be qualified to use them professionally?) Mr. Savickas made clear after the vote that he was kidding about this, but his colleagues didn`t seem to notice.

I. Summary of Information About the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS)
IRIS is a database that contains potential adverse human health effects information that may result from chronic (or lifetime) exposure to specific chemical substances found in the environment. The database (available on the Internet at http://www.epa.gov/iris) contains qualitative and quantitative health effects information for more than 540 chemical substances that may be used to support the first two steps (hazard identification and dose-response evaluation) of a risk assessment process. When supported by available data, the database provides oral reference doses (RfDs) and inhalation reference concentrations (RfCs) for chronic health effects, and oral slope factors and inhalation unit risks for carcinogenic effects. Combined with specific exposure information, government and private entities can use IRIS data to help characterize public health risks of chemical substances in a site-specific situation and thereby support risk management decisions designed to protect public health.
II. Workshop Information
Members of the public may attend the workshop as observers, and there will be a limited time for oral comments from the public. Pre-registration is strongly recommended as space is limited, and registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. The deadline for pre-registration is October 7, 2008. If space allows, registrations will continue to be accepted after this date, including on-site registrations. Time will be set aside to hear comments from observers, and individuals will be limited to a maximum of five minutes during the morning session of peer review workshop.

Air Balloon by Lily Allen
Song Information
Air Balloon is a song by Lily Allen released early Jan 2014. It is the second single from the British artists third studio album. Show video tutorial!
About the Artist
Lily Rose Beatrice Allen (born 2 May 1985) is an English recording artist, talk show host, and actress. She is the daughter of actor and musician Keith Allen and film producer Alison Owen. In her teenage years, her musical tastes evolved from glam rock to alternative. A year later, Allen abandoned school and concentrated on improving her performing and compositional skills. Afterwards, she created several demo songs, and near the end of 2005, she created a profile on MySpace, where she made some of her recordings public. A contract was signed with the label Regal Recordings, as the views on MySpace rose to tens of thousands. In 2006, she began to work on completing what would be her first studio album and its first mainstream single "Smile" reached the top position on the UK Singles Chart in July 2006.[2] Her debut record, Alright, Still, was well received on the international market, selling over 2.6 million copies and brought Allen a nomination at the Grammy Awards, BRIT Awards and MTV Video Music Awards. She then began hosting her own talk-show, Lily Allen and Friends, on BBC Three. Her second major album release, It's Not Me, It's You, saw a genre shift for her, having more of an electropop feel, rather than the ska and reggae influences of the first one.

Quick Reference
Suppose that a needle of length l is dropped at random onto a set of parallel lines a distance d apart, where l < d. The probability that the needle lands crossing one of the lines can be shown to equal 2l/πd. The experiment in which this is repeated many times to estimate the value of π is called Buffon's needle. It was proposed by Georges Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon (1707–88).

Pharmacological actions:
Blueberry and hepatitis C
The proanthocyanidin (PAC) found in blueberry leaves has shown a strong effect in blocking the replication of the Hepatitis C virus, has the greatest potency at inhibiting the expression of subgenomic HCV RNA. The scientific paper mentions that they reduce elevated liver enzymes which can help lower liver inflammation that is associated with many health problems.
Blueberry and Inflammation
Exploring further anti-inflammatory activity of blueberry, it was found that can reduce nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB), transcription factor is a key regulator of proinflammatory conditions. It can reduce 8-isoprostanes, this molecule reflects inflammatory status of body and peroxidation of lipid. It is effective in reducing of Monocyte Chemoattractive Protein-1 (MCP-1), one of several chemokines involved in inflammation process.
Development of cancer is associated with pro-inflammatory proteins are over-expressed and secreted by a wide variety of neoplasia (formation of tumors) such as liver, lung, gastric, pancreas. Thus, it can inhibit growth of several types of cancer cells.
Each capsule contains
Blueberry extract containing Proanthocyanidin …………… 100 mg
♦ Chronic hepatitis C infection
♦ Inflammation and pain
Under 12 years – one capsule once daily after meal
12 years and above – one to two capsules two times daily after meal
If pregnant or breast-feeding, seek supervision from a physician before use.

I will just say it straight out. I have the best job in the world and I love what I do. There is a very special reason one becomes a nature guide, and that is an unwavering passion for understanding, experiencing and conserving the natural world, and sharing it with travellers from around the globe.
After an adventurous 15 year career as a professional guide, I have had the privilege to explore and understand some of Africa's most pristine wilderness areas, but most importantly, my work has allowed me to affirm my belief in conserving our natural heritage through eco-tourism by sharing, teaching and creating incredible wilderness and travel experiences, as well as inspiring a genuine love and understanding of our natural world.
Every person and every journey is different, so allow me the opportunity to mould your tailor made safari into an experience that best suits you and your interests. Let me take you out on a journey of discovery and introduce you to this spectacular continent.
After completing my education, my first few adult years were spent working, living and travelling throughout Southern Africa, the Middle East and extensively across Europe. This gave me a vital understanding of the greater world and a keen interest in people and cultures across the globe.
"Marco, you were and are and exceptional guide! Your valuable insight, knowledge and patience for our many questions were very much appreciated. We look forward to a future African tour with you." – Kent & Gwen Kleeberger, USA
To ensure excellence in all aspects of a safari experience, from maintaining guiding ethics to ensuring smooth logistics and professional support, I have associated myself with the following organizations, either through direct Guiding Services, promoting travel in Africa and maintaining professional guiding practices.

Hi everyone,
It's been a long time since I last posted a query here. I have a client request to provide a report every week on dialog performance.
Basically, what they need is a list of users who run dialog transactions/programs with execution time equal or more than 1 hour with the following details:
- User ID
- Program name
- Start and end time
It's sort of an SM37 list for dialog transactions instead of background jobs.
Some of these information I believe can be taken from ST03N (ie, total response time of a transaction, total response time of a user) but not in a consolidated format (total response time of all users and transactions). However, I don't think ST03N provides the start and end time for those dialog transactions. Transaction code STAD provides additional information for response time of a transaction with start and end time when double-clicked but the information stored for STAD only lasts up to 2 days.
Would you know any other table/transaction we can use to gather this data from? Thank you so much.
All the best,

Steve Heiser, 505-5446/@ydsports
High school wrestling is enduring some tough times.
Everyone involved in the sport knows that.
Participation is down and forfeits are up.
Take last Thursday, Jan. 11, as just an example. It was a full night of York-Adams League competition. Results for nine matches involving 17 league teams could be tracked down. Those matches featured 47 forfeits, or more than five forfeits per match. In nearly 19 percent of the weight classes, the local teams didn't field a competitor.

Easy Kids' Art Ideas
Let's Get Started
I spend a great deal of my free time working with youth in various settings. Church, my library, and as a public educator on my fire department. I was honored at one point to share the duties of being the activities coordinator at my church and it was through that relationship I came to learn the power of arts and crafts. Sure most kids are well to do with basketball or some other outside event and on occasion an old Super Nintendo tucked away in a storage closet will suffice but sometimes you have to go the extra mile. For me arts and crafts generally meant getting someone else to do it because I have all the art ability of a blind pot maker who lost his hands in a really tragic pottery accident.
Of course even A and C had to have some weak points I could exploit. One day while another youth leader who usually handles the crafts decided to take the day off I came to the harsh realization that I would have to find a way to do an art project that would not be to advanced, not for the children of course but for myself. It was then that I started to drift back to my days in first grade where I, like other youngsters lived for art class, mainly because it meant no math class! I started to think about a really cool project that was far from complicated but very fun. All I needed was light colored construction paper, a ton of crayons, and a scraping device. I know an odd combination of items but I swear once we get them started working in the right way you will see how some seriously beautiful art can be created.
Getting it Together
Ok let's get our stuff together. First you got to have light colored construction paper. Blank computer paper will do but I like to use pink or yellow or to be honest if you have the pastel style construction paper any of it will work just fine. Now you need to get some crayons. I am never one for name brands but I would suggest you get Crayola brand crayons as opposed to a generic brand. They are a little less waxy and a lot easier to use to get a good coat of color on the paper.
The tricky part is the scraping device. I used wooden dowels that I sharpened in a regular pencil sharpener. You can use anything you find that feels best for the job. Just make sure that you make sure the kids are being safe with a sharp object. Safety first.
If you want you can actually use a stylus that you would use with a handheld video game or even a smart phone. These work good but can sometimes require that more pressure be used to create the project we need.
Let's Get It Done
Now for the fun part. Give each child a nice assortment of crayons and a sheet of paper. The key here is to be creative. Have them use all the colors except black to fill in the paper. I like to do a rainbow like pattern from corner to corner making each strip about an inch wide. This is a good time to teach how you can blend colors and compliment color with other color. I always like to make every project I do with my groups an educational one.
Once all the paper is filled in we can move on to the really unique part of our project. Give them a black crayon and have them go over all of the color they just did. I know seems a bit redundant but you will see how this makes perfect sense.
So now we are looking at a black canvas that was once a beautiful array of colors. Now the real creative juices can flow. Simply use the pointed instrument we mentioned earlier and start scratching away the black. It should reveal the color underneath. Now your group of little wisdom seekers can create beautiful color swirls of art on these scratch off canvases.
Wrap It Up
Even just simply writing a name on this new art paper will be super fun for even a teenager. I have seen some amazing work and with this technique even the most basic of artist can produce amazing works of art.
I hope you enjoy and have fun.
