Dependent on the current status of your internet connection, it is possible to obtain an active telephone service through this, rather than from your local phone service providers.

VOIP Phone Services has two major advantages. Firstly, it can lower costs. Secondly, it increases the practicality of voice communication, making it easier to keep business flowing throughout the working day. It generally works in three different ways. Firstly, through an ATA. This works by your ordinary telephone connecting to ATA.
Then, the ATA connects to Ethernet, which follows through to broadband, allowing it to function using the internet. Once this is completed it then is signalled through the VOIP Service Provider.
Another way of how this system can work is through using an IP Phone. This is similar to the previous cycle but without the 'ATA' implement. Using an IP Phone, this connects to ethernet, broadband etc. The final way and arguably the most uncommon way is voice over internet protocol connecting directly. This does not take into account a VOIP Service Provider and instead directly connects to an intended user.
One issue with this approach is if the recipient is on a NAT Type Internet, this can cause problems with initial connection and quality.

LOS ANGELES — As if trying to escape a recurring nightmare, most of the survivors of O.J. Simpson's"Trial of the Century" refuse to talk about it on the 20th anniversary of the tragedy. And that includes Simpson, who sent word from prison that he has nothing to say.
Two members of the famous defense "dream team" are dead. Only F. Lee Bailey continues a campaign to prove to the public that the acquitted defendant truly was not guilty of the murders of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ronald Goldman.
STEELE: Bills fans still conflicted 20 years later
Here is a look at what became of the key players:
Robert Kardashian, a close friend of Simpson, renewed his lapsed law license to participate in the trial. Simpson stayed at his home after the killings were discovered and Kardashian read to the public a rambling message from Simpson as he was fleeing from police in a white Ford Bronco. Kardashian died at the age of 59 in 2003 from esophageal cancer. His ex-wife, Kris, and his children, Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Rob, became famous after his death with their reality show, "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."

Judge Lance Ito, still on the Los Angeles Superior Court bench, has presided over some 500 trials since the Simpson case made him famous. He long ago took his name plate off his courtroom door because it kept getting stolen. He is not standing for re-election this year and will retire in 2015 with few plans other than to learn to play guitar.
Gil Garcetti, Los Angeles district attorney during the Simpson trial, was re-elected to another term in spite of criticism of his handling of the case. He later changed careers, focusing on photography, and traveled the world taking pictures that were published in six books to raise awareness of social needs such as water wells in Africa. He has been consulting director of TV crime dramas, "The Closer" and "Major Crimes." His son, Eric, is mayor of Los Angeles.
Marcia Clark, who prosecuted Simpson unsuccessfully, was paid $4 million for her memoir of the case and wrote a series of mystery novels. She never tried another case and stopped practicing law, though she has appeared as a TV commentator on high-profile trials.

Chris Darden, the co-prosecutor criticized for having Simpson try on the so-called murder gloves, left the district attorney's office following the trial and became a defense attorney. He wrote a memoir of the trial and has published several mystery novels.
Robert Shapiro, the first member of Simpson's defense team, launched a foundation to help drug addicted youngsters after his son, Brent, fatally overdosed in 2005. He was one of the founders of LegalZoom.com, a do-it-yourself document service for people bringing lawsuits.
Johnnie L. Cochran Jr., Simpson's lead attorney who coined the phrase, "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit," wrote a memoir revealing his rift with Shapiro over control of the defense case. He expanded his law firm to 15 states and was the success story of the team until he was stricken with brain cancer and died in 2005 at 68.
Barry Scheck, the lawyer who introduced the science of DNA to jurors and to the public watching on TV, attacked police methods of evidence collection and demolished the prosecution's forensic evidence case. He and co-counsel on the Simpson case, Peter Neufeld, founded The Innocence Project that uses DNA evidence to exonerate wrongly convicted prisoners. They have helped overturn hundreds of cases.
F. Lee Bailey, famed for his role in the trials of Dr. Sam Shepard and heiress Patty Hearst, was a part-time member of the "Dream Team" who exposed detective Mark Fuhrman's racist statements. Bailey later was disbarred in Massachusetts and Florida for misconduct in handling a client's case. He continues to seek readmission to the bar and has written a lengthy treatise on why he believes in Simpson's innocence.Kato Kaelin, known as America's most famous house guest, was living on Simpson's property when he claimed to hear a bump in the night that prosecutors suggested was Simpson returning from the murders. Kaelin tried to extend his moment in the spotlight to show business after the trial and is now involved in promoting a clothing line called, "Kato's Potatoes."
Kim Goldman, Ron Goldman's younger sister, was 22 when she burst into hysterical sobs when the not guilty verdict was read. She counsels troubled teens as executive director of the Southern California-based nonprofit The Youth Project and is a speaker to victims' rights group. She is the author of two books. Her latest, "Can't Forgive: My Twenty-Year Battle With O.J. Simpson," was published last month. Goldman, 42, is divorced and lives in a Southern California suburb with her 10-year-old son.
Fred Goldman, Ron Goldman's father, relentlessly pursued O.J. Simpson through civil courts for more than a decade. Goldman's family seized Simpson's Heisman Trophy, the rights to his movies, a book he wrote about the killings and other items to satisfy part of a $33.5 million judgment by a civil court jury that held Simpson liable for the killings. Goldman, a 73-year-old former architect, lives with his wife, Patti, in Arizona, where he works in retail sales. "Can't afford to retire," says Goldman, who adds he has put what share of the judgment he's recovered into the Ron Goldman Foundation for Justice that he founded with his wife and daughter.

Users of Facebook will soon have a new search tool at their disposal, the leaders of the company announced Tuesday during a live event. The new Graph Search feature will let those on Facebook sift through photos, people, places, and business pages.
The new search ability will join Facebook users' newsfeed and timeline as "pillars" of their experience, said Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who predicted Graph Search would become an "amazing resource."
As for what that resource might help users accomplish, Facebook offered several examples Tuesday, ranging from finding people who like cycling in Seattle, Wash., to looking for a restaurant your friends liked in a certain area — the idea being that Graph Search refines results by combining different attributes.
The service is being introduced in English-language markets first, with a limited number of users using a beta version of the feature. Writing for USA Today, Jon Swartz reports that "Zuckerberg says hundreds, maybe thousands, will initially get Graph Search."
The new feature's name comes from the social network's Graph API, which handles data transfers between Facebook and third-party software such as apps and widgets. And the company is predicting new growth in what kind of data its users share.
As NPR's Laura Sydell tweeted during the announcement, "Facebook says people will put more of their interests on Facebook" if they know their friends are looking for information about what they like, from music and movies to food and services. After the unveiling, shares of user-review site Yelp fell by 8 percent.
Facebook's announcement that it would make it easier to mine for data and photos is sure to raise some privacy concerns among its users. The company sought to address those worries Tuesday, saying that Graph Search will respect the same privacy settings that already limit the visibility of its members' pages.
"Everyone on Facebook who isn't blocked by you can search for you, but what they can see in search results about you depends on what's shared with them," according to a special page created to explain "How Privacy Works with Graph Search."
The page includes a link that allows users to review their Activity Log, which compiles the likes, status updates, photo uploads and other items that define a person's presence on Facebook.
"Most people today don't think about Facebook as a place to discover places where they could go eat, or things that they could go do," Zuckerberg said in a video introducing the new feature. "But with this product, it's so natural to be able to do that."
It may now also be natural, many observers noted Tuesday, to help Facebook strengthen its hold in the search advertising market, which Google has long dominated. The new feature is seen as a way for the social media network to build on the "Sponsored" advertising slots it began selling in 2012, which placed ads with search results.
The Graph Search tool was created internally at Facebook, leading some to speculate that Bing, which has played a Web-search role on the social media service, might be cut out of the picture. But the plan announced Tuesday calls for Bing to present results from the Web when a user's Facebook search comes up empty.

Mr. President, the record shows that most OSCE states have made progress—some very significant progress—in combating the scourge of human trafficking. Prosecution and conviction of traffickers has increased as has victim identification.
Still, we need to do more to rescue and more tangibly assist victims—especially women and children.
Part of my supplemental item, approved by the General Committee on Democracy, Human Rights and Humanitarian Questions, calls on States to encourage airlines—including and especially flight attendants—to be trained to detect trafficking victims in-flight and inform law enforcement prior to landing. This best practice is taking off– the "Airline Partners Against Human Trafficking" program by Airline Ambassadors is being adopted by major U.S. airlines and will rescue many women and children. This must be replicated in all of our participating States.
Second, maternal mortality can and must be reduced by expanding emergency obstetrical care with an emphasis on skilled birth attendants to perform cesarean sections and equipped with medicines to stop hemorrhaging as well as safe blood and antibiotics to save women's lives.
Mr. President, maternal care and prenatal care are closely linked and we must care and show compassion for both mother and unborn child.
I am greatly encouraged that the Committee adopted my amendment calling on States to recognize and support the enormous opportunities available today to diagnose and treat an ever-growing number of diseases and disabilities in unborn children—diseases and disabilities that can be cured or mitigated by timely intervention. When sick, the unborn child, like every other child, is a medical patient, in need of a blood transfusion, medicines that cure and even microsurgery.
Wellness begins in the womb. The healthier the unborn child, the healthier the 1, 2, 5 and 10 year old.
Thank you.

Maryland, along with all 50 states and DC, is a member of the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children to ease the transition for students and to ensure that there are no barriers to educational success imposed on children of military families because of frequent moves and deployment of their parents. The Maryland State Department of Education and our twenty-four local school systems have a long history of establishing effective policies, regulations and procedures that address enrollment and serve to ease the transition of any student who transfers into or out of our schools. Maryland enthusiastically joined the Interstate Commission in 2009 to demonstrate our commitment to easing the transitions of children of military families. We are proud of our membership in the Compact and of our support for the military child.
As a member of the Interstate Commission we have the opportunity to dialogue with other member states on the Articles of the Compact and identify best practices to ensure that we address the educational issues associated with the frequent transitions that a student of a military family must make. Information on the Interstate Compact can be found on our website or please visit the Military Interstate Children's Compact Commission (MIC3) website. Should you have questions about the Compact, please do not hesitate to contact Mary Gable, Assistant State Superintendent and Maryland Commissioner for the Interstate Compact, at 410-767-0472 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
We look forward to working with our military families.
Questions about this document or the Interstate Compact should be directed to Mary Gable, Assistant State Superintendent and Maryland Commissioner for the Interstate Compact at 410-767-0472 or email@example.com.

A mysterious illness with a striking resemblance to the one caused by the SARS virus emerged in the Middle East last year.
But the new virus behind the latest cases didn't seem to be contagious – until now.
A British resident likely caught the disease from a family member in the U.K., health officials said Wednesday. The patient was in close contact with a sick relative and had never traveled to the Middle East, where all other cases of the new illness originated.
This is "strong evidence" that the new virus (a type of coronavirus) can be transmitted from one person to another, John Watson, an epidemiologist from the U.K.'s Health Protection Agency, said in a statement.
"Confirmed novel coronavirus infection in a person without travel history to the Middle East suggests that person-to-person transmission has occurred, and that it occurred in the U.K.," he said.
But Watson was also quick to point out that the threat of the virus appears to be very low.
Another health problem likely made the patient more vulnerable to infection, he said. And no doctors or nurses have caught the disease, which suggest the virus is extremely poor at transmitting from person to person.
There have been only 11 known cases involving the new coronavirus wordwide. But five of the people infected died. The virus causes severe respiratory problems and sometimes kidney failure.
The virus showed hints of person-to-person transmission last November when two relatives got sick in Saudi Arabia. But health officials couldn't rule out independent infections from animals.
Many virologists don't seem too concerned by the new evidence of person-to-person transmission for the coronavirus.
"This doesn't raise too many alarm bells," John Oxford, from Queen Mary, University of London, told the BBC, "In a family, things can spread far more easily than they would spread outside. People share towels and toothbrushes etc."
"If it was somebody who was not related or a nurse or a doctor — that would be a lot more serious," he said.
Six heath care workers, who came in contact with the patient, are being monitored, The Associated Press reports. But none of them have shown signs of an infection.

What do YOU think about:
1) Consuming GMO food
2) Whether or not GMO food should be labelled
3) The meaning of GMO, the pros and cons
Comment in the comment boxes below the article, we'd love to hear your thoughts.
Read the article from Boston.com below:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Genetically modified foods have been around for years, but most Americans have no idea if they are eating them.
The Food and Drug Administration says they don't need to be labeled, so the state of Vermont has moved forward on its own. On Thursday, Gov. Peter Shumlin signed legislation making his state the first to require labeling of genetically modified organisms, or GMOs.
What about the rest of the country? And does labeling matter?
There's a lot of confusion about genetically modified foods and their safety.
Some people feel very strongly about GMOs. Opponents, who at times have protested in the streets, say consumers have the right to know whether their food contains GMOs. The Vermont law is their first major victory.
The food industry and companies that genetically engineer seeds have pushed back against the labeling laws, saying GMOs are safe and labels would be misleading.
''It's really polarizing,'' says New York University's Marion Nestle, a professor of nutrition and food studies. ''There's no middle ground.''
A look at the debate and some of the facts about genetically modified foods:
GMOs are not really a ''thing,'' Nestle says, and that's hard for the average consumer to grasp. You can't touch or feel a GMO.
Genetically modified foods are plants or animals that have had genes copied from other plants or animals inserted into their DNA. It's not a new idea — humans have been tinkering with genes for centuries through selective breeding. Think dogs bred to be more docile pets, cattle bred to be beefier or tomatoes bred to be sweeter. Turkeys were bred to have bigger breasts — better for Thanksgiving dinner.
What's different about genetically modified or engineered foods is that the manipulation is done in a lab. Engineers don't need to wait for nature to produce a desired gene; they speed up the process by transferring a gene from one plant or animal to another.
What are the desired traits? Most of the nation's corn and soybeans are genetically engineered to resist pesticides and herbicides. A papaya in Hawaii is modified to resist a virus. The FDA is considering an application from a Massachusetts company to approve a genetically engineered salmon that would grow faster than traditional salmon.
Most of the genetically modified corn and soybeans are used in cattle feed, or are made into ingredients like corn oil, corn starch, high fructose corn syrup or soybean oil.
Even in some of those products, the manufacturing process itself may remove some of the GMOs.
A few fruits and vegetables are engineered — the Hawaiian papaya and some squash and zucchini, for example. Only a small amount of sweet corn, the corn we eat, is genetically modified.
But there's no genetically modified meat or fish, like the fast-growing salmon, in the market now; the Food and Drug Administration has yet to approve any.
The vast majority of scientific research has found genetically engineered foods to be generally safe.
An Italian scientist's review of 10 years of research, published in 2013, concluded that the scientific research conducted so far has not detected ''any significant hazard directly connected with the use of GM crops.''
One French research team raised safety questions, but their much-criticized 2012 study linking genetically modified corn to rat tumors was retracted in 2013 by the scientific publisher, who cited weak evidence supporting the conclusions.
Even the food police say they are safe: The Center for Science in the Public Interest, a well-known critic of food companies and artificial and unhealthy ingredients in foods, has not opposed genetically modified foods, on the basis that there's no evidence they are harmful.
Though what we are eating now appears safe, the main concerns for the future would be new genetically engineered foods — from the United States or abroad — that somehow become allergenic or toxic through the engineering process. The FDA says the foods they have evaluated to this point have not been any more likely to cause an allergic or toxic reaction than foods from traditionally bred plants.
Unlike animals, the FDA is not required to approve genetically engineered crops for consumption. However, most companies will go through a voluntary safety review process before they put them on the market.
There are clear benefits for the agricultural industry — the crops that are resistant to pesticides and herbicides, for example. And companies like Monsanto that produce modified seeds say their technologies will be needed to feed a rising world population as they engineer crops to adapt to certain climates and terrains.
While most modified foods have so far been grown to resist chemicals or disease, advocates envision engineering crops to make them more nutritious as well. Food animals have been engineered to be bred to be free of diseases, be cleaner in their environments or grow more efficiently, though none has yet been approved in the United States.
There is an escalating political fight between the labeling advocates and the food industry, which has dug in against labeling. In the absence of a federal labeling standard, GMO opponents have gone to the states to try to get a patchwork of labeling laws approved — a move that could eventually force a national standard.
Ballot measures in California and Washington state failed, but the legislative effort prevailed in Vermont. Maine and Connecticut also have passed laws requiring labels, but they don't take effect unless other states follow suit. The food industry is widely expected to challenge the Vermont law in court.
The state efforts aren't slowing down. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, there are 85 pending GMO labeling bills in 29 states.
In Congress, the food industry is pushing a House bill that would head off efforts to enact mandatory labeling of genetically modified ingredients by proposing new voluntary labels nationwide — an attempted end run around the state-by-state laws.
Safe or not, consumers are increasingly interested in what is in their food, including GMOs.
''There's so much confusing speech on food packaging and food advertising that consumers are often buying things they think are GMO free when they are not,'' says Scott Faber of the Environmental Working Group, which is pushing for the labels.
Faber and other labeling proponents say it's about transparency, not technology. They say there is precedent, like orange juice labels that say whether the juice is from concentrate.
David Ropeik, the author of the book ''How Risky Is It, Really? Why Our Fears Don't Always Match the Facts,'' says he thinks the food industry should endorse labeling so it can move past the debate.
''By supporting labeling, companies would say, 'There's no risk, we have nothing to hide,''' he says.
He says people rightly or wrongly fear GMOs because they are more concerned about man-made risks than natural ones and the food industry's control over what we eat.
''It's a surrogate for a values war they have against big companies,'' he says.

XFree86-DGA is not intended as a direct rendering API, but rather, as a mechanism to "get the X Server out of the way" so that some other direct rendering API can have full access to the hardware. With this in mind, DGA does provide clients some direct access to the hardware without requiring a separate rendering API, but this access is limited to direct linear framebuffer access.
Most of the reasons for the XFree86-DGA extension's existence are now better served in other ways. Further development of this extension is not expected, and it may be deprecated in a future release. The features that continue to be useful will either be provided through other existing mechanisms, or through an extension that address those needs more specifically. Discussion of these issue is encouraged in the XFree86 developer forum <email@example.com>.
XFree86-DGA is initialized by passing a number corresponding to a valid XDGAMode to XDGASetMode(). Clients can get a list of valid modes from XDGAQueryModes(). Each XDGAMode corresponds to a different framebuffer layout.
XDGAQueryModes() returns a pointer to an array of XDGAModes which are valid for the given screen. num is the number of elements in the array. The returned array can be freed with XFree(3) . The XDGAMode structure is as follows:
typedef struct { int num; char *name; float verticalRefresh; int flags; int imageWidth; int imageHeight; int pixmapWidth; int pixmapHeight; int bytesPerScanline; int byteOrder; int depth; int bitsPerPixel; unsigned long redMask; unsigned long greenMask; unsigned long blueMask; short visualClass; int viewportWidth; int viewportHeight; int xViewportStep; int yViewportStep; int maxViewportX; int maxViewportY; int viewportFlags; int reserved1; int reserved2; } XDGAMode;
XDGASetMode() initialises the XDGAMode corresponding to num. To exit DGA mode and return to normal server operation, call XDGASetMode() with num set to zero. XDGASetMode() returns a pointer to an XDGADevice if successful. The XDGADevice can be freed with XFree(3) . The XDGADevice structure is as follows:
typedef struct { XDGAMode mode; unsigned char *data; Pixmap pixmap; } XDGADevice;
XDGAQueryExtension() checks for the presence of the extension and returns the event and error bases.
XDGAQueryVersion() returns the XFree86-DGA major and minor version numbers.
XDGAOpenFramebuffer() maps the framebuffer memory. The client needs sufficient privileges to be able to do this. XDGAOpenFramebuffer() should be called prior to initializing a DGA mode if direct framebuffer access is desired for that mode. XDGAOpenFramebuffer() does not need to be called if direct framebuffer access is not required. If the framebuffer is opened,
XDGACloseFramebuffer() should be called prior to client exit to unmap the memory.
XDGAChangePixmapMode() can be used to change between two pixmap sizes in cases where a Pixmap is available for Xlib rendering. The following values for the mode parameter are available:
XDGASetViewport() sets the upper left-hand corner of the rectangle of framebuffer that is to be displayed on the screen. Not all locations may be supported by the hardware and requested locations will be adjusted according to the xViewPortStep and yViewPortStep fields in the XDGAMode.
flags can be XDGAFlipRetrace or XDGAFlipImmediate to adjust the viewport location at the next vertical retrace or immediately. Values other than the supported values advertised in the mode's viewportFlags field will result in hardware-specific default behavior. XDGAFlipImmediate will block until the flip is completed. XDGAFlipRetrace will generally NOT block so it is necessary to monitor the viewport status with XDGAGetViewportStatus(). XDGAFlipImmediate requests during pending XDGAFlipRetrace requests will be ignored.
XDGAGetViewportStatus() keeps track of the XDGASetViewport() requests still pending. The return value of the function will have consecutive bits set (LSB justified), each bit representing a pending viewport change. For example:
while(XDGAGetViewportStatus(dpy, screen));
waits for all pending viewport changes to finish.
while(0x2 & XDGAGetViewportStatus(dpy, screen));
waits until all but the last viewport changes have completed.
XDGACreateColormap() is similar to the Xlib function XCreateColormap(3) except that it takes an XDGADevice as an argument instead of a Window and Visual. Though XCreateColormap(3) may create usable colormaps in some cases, XDGACreateColormap() is the preferred method for creating colormaps in DGA since there may not be an advertised visual compatible with the DGA device.
XDGAInstallColormap() must be used to install colormaps in DGA mode. XInstallColormap(3) will not work.
XDGASelectInput() enables DGA's own event mechanism. This function is similar to XSelectInput(3) , and all Xlib Key, Button and Motion masks are supported. The following DGA events are defined:
typedef struct { int type; /* ButtonPress or ButtonRelease + the DGA event base*/ unsigned long serial; /* # or last request processed by the server */ Display *display; /* Display the event was read from */ int screen; /* The screen number the event came from */ Time time; /* milliseconds */ unsigned int state; /* key or button mask */ unsigned int button; /* detail */ } XDGAButtonEvent;
typedef struct { int type; /* KeyPress or KeyRelease + the DGA event base*/ unsigned long serial; /* # or last request processed by the server */ Display *display; /* Display the event was read from */ int screen; /* The screen number the event came from */ Time time; /* milliseconds */ unsigned int state; /* key or button mask */ unsigned int keycode; /* detail */ } XDGAKeyEvent;
typedef struct { int type; /* MotionNotify + the DGA event base*/ unsigned long serial; /* # or last request processed by the server */ Display *display; /* Display the event was read from */ int screen; /* The screen number the event came from */ Time time; /* milliseconds */ unsigned int state; /* key or button mask */ int dx; /* relative pointer motion */ int dy; /* relative pointer motion */ } XDGAMotionEvent;
XDGAKeyEventToXKeyEvent() is a helper function to translate XDGAKeyEvents into XKeyEvents suitable for use with XLookupKeysym(3) .
XDGAFillRectangle(), XDGACopyArea(), and XDGACopyTransparentArea() are included with some reservation since DGA is not intended as a rendering API. These are merely convenience routines and are optionally supported. The associated flags will be set in the XDGAMode's flags field if these functions are supported. These functions will be no-ops otherwise. they do not provide direct access to the hardware, but are simply context-less operations performed by the server.
XDGASync() blocks until all server rendering to the framebuffer completes. If Xlib or the 3 rendering functions above are used, XDGASync() must be called before the client directly accesses the framebuffer as the server rendering is asynchronous with the client and may have not completed. This is especially important if the XDGAConcurrentAccess flag is not set in the XDGAMode's flags field since concurrent access by the server and client may result in a system lockup.

Portrait of Maquoketa: The Dimensional View
Portrait of Maquoketa: The Dimensional View features the work of Rose Frantzen, a Maquoketa, Iowa, native who has gained national and international acclaim for her oil paintings from life that bring contemporary and innovative perspectives to a traditional alla prima approach. Portrait of Maquoketa features 180 oil painting portraits that Frantzen created from July 2005 to July 2006 and an audio collage of the voices of those who posed, along with music inspired by the voices and by the quiet beauty of the hills around Maquoketa.
For the Figge installation, Frantzen painted a 315-square-foot landscape view of Maquoketa from the hills outside town. The landscape is broken up on 34 vertical panels that are suspended from the ceiling so that the panels come together as one when viewed from one end of the exhibition space. The reverse side of each panel acts as a frame for the 180 portraits. The portraits, the landscape and a new music composition by John Frantzen, Rose's brother, were funded in part by the Iowa Arts Council, a division of the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts.
"Although Portrait of Maquoketa has gone places I never imagined," says Rose Frantzen, "I have felt from the start a desire to set the portrait of the town into a larger framework, namely the landscape—showing this community nestled within the Iowan countryside. The opportunity to show in the beautiful and expansive third-floor gallery of the Figge compelled me to realize my initial vision."
The new three-dimensional installation was conceived and designed by Frantzen in collaboration with her husband, artist Charles Morris, who mapped out the enlargement of Frantzen's landscape onto panels that vary in size from 3 1/2 feet tall to more than 10 feet tall. The original landscape, which Frantzen painted on location in the early spring of 2012, was transformed to fill a 90-degree view with 30 feet in depth.
This exhibition will be on view through January 20, 2013.

Interpol Headquarters in Lyon, France [PHOTO: Massimiliano Mariani] |
Lyon: INTERPOL's General Assembly will bring together Justice,
Home Affairs and Security Ministers from some 110 countries for the largest
ever such gathering, which will focus on criminal violence issues ranging from
human trafficking to terrorist activities.
The Ministerial meeting, which marks the beginning of the
four-day (5 – 8 November) conference in Rome, Italy with the theme 'Challenges
for Police Facing Contemporary Violence' will bring to the table senior
government officials from around the globe.
INTERPOL's Secretary General Ronald K. Noble stated, "This
unprecedented gathering of ministers combined with our General Assembly will
provide strong support for greater global cooperation in confronting
ever-increasing and wide-ranging violent criminal activities.
"Transnational criminal violence is expanding, profiting
from developments in technology and international economic challenges. Reduced
budgets for law enforcement in far too many nations necessitates even greater
levels of mutual support across borders in our continued efforts towards a
safer world," concluded the INTERPOL Chief.
A joint Ministerial outcome declaration will be issued at
the conclusion of the day's discussions, to identify viable policies and
strategies which can be adapted to the unique security situations of cities,
nations and regions, supported by greater shared intelligence and increased use
of INTERPOL'S comprehensive databases covering a wide range of multi-national
criminal activities.

A "single genetic mutation can double your risk of stroke", the Daily Mail has reported. The newspaper added that scientists hope the discovery could lead to tailored treatments for the condition.
The news is based on research which looked for genetic variations that were more common in people who had had an ischaemic stroke than in people who had not had one. Ischaemic strokes occur when the blood flow to a part of the brain is blocked. They account for 80% of stroke cases. By testing the DNA of several thousand participants, the researchers identified a new genetic variant that was associated with increased risk of a type of ischaemic stroke called a "large vessel stroke". In large vessel strokes, one or more of the arteries supplying blood to the brain become blocked. People can carry up to two copies of the variant, and the study's authors estimated that each copy of the variant a person carried was associated with about a 42% increase in the odds of a large vessel stroke. However, it is not yet known whether this genetic variant raises the risk of a stroke, or if it is found near to another variant that is responsible for the increased risk.
This well-designed study has identified a new association between a genetic variation and strokes. However, the study cannot confirm whether the variation itself causes the increased risk of a stroke. This key issue will need to be clarified before these findings can contribute to the development of the new treatments that many newspapers optimistically predicted.
The study was carried out by researchers from the University of Oxford, St George's, University of London, and a number of other UK and international universities and research institutes. It was funded by The Wellcome Trust. The study was published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Nature Genetics.
This study was covered by a number of newspapers. In general, the coverage of the research was good, although many news stories focused on its potential to lead to the development of screening tests and new treatments. However, there is no guarantee that this research will lead to such advances. If it does, they are likely to be some way off.
This case-control study aimed to identify genetic factors that are associated with an increased risk of ischaemic strokes. Ischaemic strokes occur when there is a blockage of blood flow to part of the brain. This can deprive brain cells of vital oxygen and nutrients. Around 80% of strokes are ischaemic. The remainder are haemorrhagic strokes, caused by a blood vessel rupturing in or around the brain.
To find genetic variants associated with strokes, the researchers read the DNA sequences of a group of patients who had had an ischaemic stroke. They compared them to the sequences of a group of healthy people. Their theory was that genetic variations that were more common among the stroke group could potentially be linked to stroke risk. To verify whether the variants they initially identified in these groups were associated with strokes, the researchers tested if the same pattern was seen when another group of stroke patients were compared with another group of healthy individuals (controls). This is an accepted method that is used when performing genetic studies of this type.
Although this was a well-designed study, genetic studies like this one can only show that a particular genetic variant is associated with a disease. Further experiments are required to see if the variants identified have a role in causing strokes, or if they lie close to other genetic variants that have this effect. What these variants do still needs to be identified, so media claims that this research could lead to potential new treatments seem premature.
It is also important to remember that genetic, medical and lifestyle factors are likely to contribute to a person's risk of a stroke. It should not be assumed that a person's genetics mean that they will definitely have a stroke. Equally, people without high-risk genetics may still be at risk of a stroke risk because of lifestyle factors, such as smoking.
In the first phase of the study, researchers recruited 3,548 individuals who had had an ischaemic stroke (the cases) and 5,972 healthy individuals (the controls). The researchers looked for genetic variants that were more common in the stroke group. In a second phase, the researchers confirmed their findings in a new group of 5,859 cases and 6,281 controls. The new genetic variation they identified was then re-confirmed in a further 735 cases and 28,583 controls.
The researchers identified genetic variants at three locations that have been associated with different subtypes of ischaemic stroke in previous studies (near the genes PITX2 and ZFHX3, and on the short arm of chromosome 9). In addition, they identified a genetic variant at a new position within the HDAC9 gene, which was associated with a subtype of ischaemic stroke called large vessel stroke. In large vessel strokes, one or more of the large arteries supplying blood to the brain become blocked. This variant in HDAC9 occurs on about 10% of chromosomes in people in the UK. Humans have two copies of each chromosome, and therefore we can carry up to two copies of this variant (one on each chromosome). The researchers calculated that each copy of the variant that a person possessed was associated with a 42% increase in the odds of having a large vessel stroke (odds ratio 1.42, 95% confidence interval 1.28 to 1.57 for each copy).
The researchers concluded that they have "identified a new association with the HDAC9 gene region in large vessel stroke". They also stated that "the mechanism by which variants in the HDAC9 region increase large vessel stroke risk is not immediately clear."
In this study, researchers have identified a genetic variant in the HDAC9 gene that is associated with a subtype of ischaemic stroke called a large vessel stroke. Large vessel strokes occur when one or more of the arteries supplying blood to the brain become blocked.
In this type of study, the genetic variants identified as being associated with a condition are not necessarily the cause of the increase in risk. Instead, they may lie near another variant that is responsible for the effect. In order to unlock the role of the HDAC9 gene, researchers will now need to study it and the region surrounding it more closely, both to confirm whether the variation in this gene is responsible for the increase in stroke risk and, if so, how it has this effect.
Genetic, medical and lifestyle factors are likely to contribute to stroke risk. In addition, multiple genetic factors may potentially contribute to the risk. It's important to note that although having higher-risk genetic variants increases the risk of having a stroke, it does not guarantee that a person will have one. Equally, people who do not have any associated variants can still be at risk of a stroke because of lifestyles factors such as smoking, drinking and their diet.
This well-designed study found an association between a new genetic variant and one type of stroke. As yet, it is not possible to say whether this finding will lead to the development of new treatments for large vessel strokes.

Need central heating repairs? Apply online today and compare prices direct from approved Derry engineers.
"As i'd never booked it this way before I found it quick and easy and shall certainly use it again."
Mr W, Derry
Fix a broken or inefficient heating system for less
If you have an older heating system that isn't operating as it should, it could be time for repairs. The right Derry central heating repairs will get your system up and running again, ensuring you and your loved ones stay nice and toasty regardless of the weather outside. The cost of repairs is something people dread; however, we can make them a lot less stressful by allowing you to compare costs amongst the various providers in our network free of charge.
Central heating repairs are most often caused by a dirty system or one that has an excessive amount of wear. Repairs range from relatively minor ones such as replacing belts to major ones that might include replacing the motor. Heating repairs aren't something you can put off, as a unit that's not functioning well will only get worse in time. As such, what started as a relatively minor repair could wind up being a major problem if you put it off, because other parts will have to work harder to compensate for the malfunctioning one.
When you choose a Gas Safe boiler specialist from our network, you can have complete confidence that they've been fully screened by our strict vetting process. What's more, their work is always rated in detail by members of the public just like you.
Obligation-free, hassle-free quotes.
As with other types of heating systems like boiler units, central heating units should only be repaired, serviced and maintained by engineers who are suitably qualified and experienced to do so. For instance gas fired boilers should only be fixed by Gas Safe registered professionals. Many home Derry owners also tend to ignore the first sings that repairs may be needed, thinking that the problems will go away on their own. However, this is the easiest way to be slapped with a horrendous repair, or replacement bill. As a result, you should ensure that you contact an engineer at the first signs of malfunction or failure on your central heating system.
Typical Derry central heating repair prices will depend on the type of repair that's needed and the make and model of your system. Most heating repair technicians are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but nonetheless charge more for calls made after hours. If your unit is especially difficult to access, contractors may need to charge more, simply because there is more labour involved in completing a repair job.
Like any other major appliance in your home, repairs are inevitable. From time to time, things will simply stop working as they should, and you'll need to call for service. However, there are a few things you can do to prevent some of the most commonly reported problems.
If Derry homeowners are diligent about having their heating systems repaired as soon as the units start to malfunction, it will normally be possible to avoid having a complete replacement performed. However, if unusual noises or malfunctions are ignored continually, chances are that by the time you get around to calling an engineer, it may be replacement that is required instead. It is recommended that a central heating technician be called out as soon as your unit starts to malfunction.
Quit stressing over the cost of Derry heating system repairs and compare estimates right now in the comfort of your own home. Finding free no-obligation estimates couldn't' be easier than it is with our unique service, which only requires a minute or so of your time to fill out our easy online form.
17 Jun Central Heating Repairs: Our boiler has stopped working so we would like it repaired, plus we also think it's a good time to replace some rusted radiators too. Please quote for the work.
17 Jun Derry: We think our heating system might be blocked or partly filled with gunk as it's not working efficiently, so please quote for diagnosis and repair of the system.
16 Jun We are expecting a cold snap in our weather in the next few days and out central heating system seems to have started malfunctioning on same days, and not working at all on other days. Can you please have someone come out as soon as possible to see what is wrong and let us know how much the repairs will cost?
16 Jun Our new home needs renovating and one of the main jobs is the central heating. The central heating system doesn't work and has been sealed off. We're told it's repairable so we would like some quotes to get it up and running again as soon as possible whilst on a tight budget.
More: We need someone to get our heating system up and running again please. The system is part of a renovation project and hasn't been used in around 6 months. It sounds like something is seized up but we would like a professional repair carried out.
June: We typically see a steady stream of quote requests coming in June as people carry out necessary maintenance work to their properties. This month is no exception as we are seeing numerous requests for free boiler servicing, repair and installation quotes.
If your system is not operating properly, you should call if you expect temperatures to drop below the freezing mark and remain there for more than a few hours.
The costs will vary according to how serious the issues are with your home's central heating system, how old it is and whether replacement parts are still available for it.
The most common reason why people call for central heating repairs is a lack of heat. Either their radiators aren't getting warm enough or they have no hot water at their taps. This can be caused by many factors ranging from an incorrectly-set thermostat to a complete failure of the boiler system itself.
It's important to contact a professional for all your central heating repair needs. These individuals have the training and experience required to diagnose and resolve issues with a variety of boiler types and brands. While calling a professional may be more costly than asking a friend to help, the ability for the professional to resolve the issue correctly the first time will save you money in the end.
In some cases, it may be possible to speak with your engineer regarding the possibility of scheduling a payment plan to cover the cost of repairs. This must be discussed before the work is done though, as not all Derry companies will be willing to offer this option to their clients.
The amount of time required to perform repairs on a system depends on the fault that has been diagnosed and whether replacement parts are readily available or not. In the case of older systems, parts may need to be ordered in, which could result in there being a short delay with regards to your system being repaired.
If you know what's wrong with your heating system then let us know a few details using our free online quote application form.
We'll arrange for local heating engineers (up to four approved ones) to get in touch with you direct to provide you with a quote to compare.

It's MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Steve Inskeep.
And I'm Renee Montagne. Good morning. We have been hearing for months about how disclosures by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden have shaken the intelligence community and spurred Congress to try to impose new limits on surveillance. In recent weeks, after-shocks from those leaks have been rippling through the courts as well. NPR's Carrie Johnson reports some judges have signaled they're no longer willing to take the government's word when it comes to national security.
CARRIE JOHNSON, BYLINE: Earlier this year, for the first time in the 36 year history of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, a federal judge in Chicago ordered the Justice Department to share secret wiretap applications with a defense lawyer. Former prosecutor David Laufman says the ruling represents something big.
DAVID LAUFMAN: I think what we are starting to see is a slow erosion in the court's willingness to rely exclusively on the government's invocations of national security without affording defendants, or at least through their attorneys, a meaningful opportunity to contest them.
JOHNSON: In other words, the days of taking the government's word are over. The Justice Department wants to appeal the Chicago decision. And even if defense lawyers win, it's not clear the material will help their client, a 20-year-old accused bomber, win in court. Two other cases involve NSA programs that collect American phone metadata and snoop on electronic conversations overseas.
Defendants there are demanding prosecutors open up their files and reveal how those men got on the U.S. government radar screen in the first place. Their requests foreshadow a long and messy court fight that could call into question the legality of their surveillance and eventually tee up a case before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Justice Department and intelligence leaders say the programs operate under strict oversight. But ACLU deputy legal director Jameel Jaffer is no longer willing to give the government the benefit of the doubt.
JAMEEL JAFFER: What we've seen over the last few months is a growing recognition that the government has been using secrecy not just to protect legitimate sources and methods, but also to prevent the disclosure of programs that would be controversial or programs that might even be unlawful, and that secrecy is being misused in many different ways.
JOHNSON: Jaffer says the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, sometimes perceived as a rubber stamp for the NSA, recently ordered the government to go back and make more information public about its electronic surveillance programs.
JAFFER: And if that court is now telling the government some of the secrecy that you guys are demanding is unjustified, I do think that we are, you know, we're in a different era.
JOHNSON: And then there's another set of cases. American University law professor Jennifer Daskal studies the U.S. no fly list for terrorists. A judge in California recently revealed a former Stanford University student taken into custody more than eight years ago and barred from re-entering the U.S. originally got on the no fly list because an FBI agent checked the wrong box on a form. The judge called the move a monumental human error. Daskal wonders how many more such cases are out there buried in classified files.
JENNIFER DASKAL: I think this case highlights the importance of having an adversarial process and having some mechanism for both sides to be heard and for an airing of the information to protect against mistakes and abuse.
JOHNSON: For all the focus on transparency lately, there's one area that remains a black box: the U.S. targeted killing list, the Obama administration's debating whether to kill or capture an unnamed American believed to be living overseas and plotting against the U.S. That bothers Jaffer of the ACLU.
JAFFER: You've got, you know, a group of government bureaucrats deliberating behind closed doors on the basis of secret law and secret evidence and the result of their deliberations is that somebody's going to get killed with a predator drone.
JOHNSON: It's one more area where secrecy is breeding skepticism. Carrie Johnson, NPR News, Washington. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

A short-term test is performed to determine the possible presence of elevated levels of radon gas pursuant to local regulations or practices for real estate transactions. Radon is an odorless, colorless and radioactive byproduct of natural soil decay known to increase the risk of cancer in those exposed.
Water testing services include taking a water sample following accepted protocols with analysis of samples performed by a certified lab. General options include a basic water Potability test for Coliform (bacteria) and other elements such as Nitrate/Nitrite, Hardness, Acidity (pH). Expanded testing options may include volatile organic compounds (fuels), heavy metals (lead, etc.) or other elements required or recommended by local authorities or common practice such as when a property is located in close proximity to agricultural land, mining, dry cleaning establishments, gas stations, industrial facilities, landfills, or other known or suspected local hazards exist.

Thermal imaging services make use of an infrared imaging camera that can detect the thermal energy (heat) emitted from an object. Thermal imaging measurements indicate temperature differentials that may help diagnose a myriad of potential concerns in a home or building such as heat loss or gain and waste leakage.
Sewer inspection services can help give both homebuyers and homeowners piece of mind regarding this critical but otherwise unobservable component of a home. With the aging of the housing market, there is an increasing number of homes with sewer lines that are subject to blockage or collapse from tree roots, soil settlement/erosion and other factors. The only way to adequately assess these potential concerns short of excavation is by inspecting a sewer using video camera equipment.
An increasing number of home inspectors are using, or considering the use of a drone (technically a small Unmanned Aerial System (UAS)) in conjunction with their home inspections, and possibly other type services. Having the option to use a drone for inspection of an otherwise inaccessible roofs might be the most obvious benefit, but there are other elements such as high chimneys, siding, windows, and eave areas where the use of a drone might prove helpful.

Fast and Easy Filipino-Style Chicken Adobo
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I probably should issue a blanket apology to the immediate world for my "-style" recipes. I've been experimenting again and have another to add to the list, this time it's a Filipino-like Chicken Adobo. The recipe is my interpretation of a signature dish much loved by the Filipino people. Adobo was part of their cuisine long before the arrival of the conquistadors. While other Spanish speaking countries prepare adobo dishes, those made in the Philippines are unique. Adobo, here, refers to a cooking process in which food is stewed in vinegar. Over time, dishes cooked in this manner came to be known as adobo as well. I first tried chicken prepared in this manner out of curiosity. I generally don't enjoy dishes that are cooked in vinegar, but I put my prejudice aside and decided to give this a try. I did, however, make some major changes to the classic recipes when I began to experiment with mine. As I read through the old recipes, I was struck by how similar these dishes were to the red-cooked meats of China. That resulted in a strange fusion. I decided to use the ingredients of the classic recipes, but to braise them in a Chinese manner. That allowed me to make a guest-worthy dinner in about 30 minutes. It also assured that the chicken would be moist and tender rather than stringy. I really like this recipe and have moved it to my permanent rotation. I hope you will try this. It is as close to effortless as a meal can get and it really is delicious. Here's the recipe.
Filipino-Style Chicken Adobo...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
1 cup water
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon brown sugar
8 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
3 bay leaves
2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 2 teaspoons cold water
1) Combine all ingredients in a 3-quart saucepan. Bring to a simmer over moderate heat. Cover pan and continue to cook until meat is cooked and tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer chicken to a serving bowl.
2) Remove solids and skim fat from sauce. Bring to a boil and cook until sauce is syrupy and reduced by half, about 15 to 20 minutes. Stir cornstarch mixture and whisk into sauce, stirring until sauce thickens and is shiny, about 1 minute. Return chicken to pan and toss with sauce to coat and warm. Transfer chicken to a serving bowl or platter. Serve with rice. Yield: 4 servings.

I do like all of these flavors. Of course, as a child I drank vinegar. But the appeal is - it's easy and filled with rich flavor as opposed to some quickly baked bland chicken. I love how you play with recipes.

Hi Mary,
I'm actually Filipino and you are right we adobo chicken, pork, fish and some vegetables. Each household has a way of cooking it. The secret is in balancing the vinegar and soy sauce. In my household we do not put in cornstarch as we prefer a thinner sauce. - February 22, 2011 at 7:44 PM
- SKIP TO MALOU said...
I am always thrilled when I see Filipino dishes being featured especially by non-Filipino food bloggers.
I'd like to commend that your chicken adobo mixture is authentic. Alhough as you said you have infused some "chinese" style of cooking it by adding cornstarch in the end versus our way, which is to let the sauce simmer until it is reduced to a thick one. But I'm sure the result gives you a real "adobo" flavor that we are accustomed of.
Thank you Mary for featuring adobo.

Last summer I was asking my two Filipino friends "what is the best filippino dish?" and they replied in unison "chicken adobo!" Since then, I have been meaning to look into it or ask them to make it together next time, but with your fantastic version, I will have a to-go recipe now~ looks so tasty and so easy!
