text: CHENG TIANQING forages among the stems of a plant and with a loud rustle and a fling of soil pulls out something he says will dispel the hunger of millions of Chinese."We are seeing a revolution in nutrition," says Dr. Cheng, cradling the bit of biota in his palm and stroking away the dirt from its smooth brown skin. People have eaten potatoes for 6,000 years, but never have the one out of five humans who are Chinese dug up so many spuds. For many Chinese farmers and agronomists like Cheng, the potato has become the lodestone of foods. Despite a longstanding popular bias against the potato, millions of Chinese farmers in the past several years have made the tuber their vital source of nutrition. China has quadrupled its potato crop in the past three decades and now grows one out of every two potatoes in the developing world. The potato is especially promising and popular for millions of China's hungriest people: those living in remote mountains on scant arable land, scientists say. If Chinese scientists have their way, the spud in coming years will budge aside staple grains and claim a bigger place in the national larder. China is one of many developing countries that are substituting the potato for rice, wheat, and other grains. As the rise in the yields of staple grains levels off, third-world countries will become increasingly dependent on the tuber to sustain their rapidly growing populations, say Chinese and foreign scientists. "There is no crop that can provide a higher yield or better nutrition on limited land than the potato," says Peter Vander Zaag, director for the International Potato Center (CIP) in Southeast Asia from 1982 until 1990. Developing nations should model their potato promotion after China's systematic program to produce and distribute hybrid potato seeds, say the scientists. For 30 years potato breeders in China have progressively identified hybrids that are more tasty, nutritious, higher-yielding, and resistant to virus and fungus. Then they have relied on China's highly centralized agricultural system to get the hybrid seeds into the ground nationwide. Beijing launched its "potato push" in the early 1950s out of fear of imminent invasion and famine caused by an international trade embargo. Its hybrid seed program anticipated that of CIP - the leading booster of the potato in the developing world - by nearly 20 years, says Elmer Ewing, chairman of the department of fruit and vegetable science at Cornell University. China could hardly have picked a more nutritious crop. The potato yields more food per acre than grains do and is extraordinarily nutritious, brimming with vitamins B and C, complex carbohydrates, niacin, magnesium, potassium, and iron. Less than 1 percent of the food is fat. Moreover, an acre of potatoes produces twice as much protein as an acre of wheat. And it packs a better quality protein than even the soybean. Although millions of Chinese now regard the potato as a gem of nutrition, the tuber still has detractors in China. Compared with staple grains, the potato spoils quickly and is hard to haul and store, critics say. City dwellers and well-off farmers tend to snub the potato as a food for China's minorities and poor. "In the south, people eat rice; in the north, people eat wheat - these habits can't be easily changed," Cheng says. "Chinese people are silly. They think the potato is only a poor man's food," says Kang Yulin, a potato breeder at the Institute of Vegetables and Flowers in Beijing. While urging Chinese to embrace the potato as a staple food, the institute primarily ministers to believers in the tuber's benefits. Under a $377,000 project ending in 1996, the institute aims to raise the area sown with its hybrid seeds from 10 percent to 50 percent of the 7.4 million acres in China devoted to the potato. Meanwhile, back in the institute's greenhouses, potato breeders will continue their quest for the perfect spud. "In the past our varieties achieved very high yields but their shape was very ugly: misshapen with deep-set eyes and bumpy skin," says Cheng, a director of potato breeding at the institute. "We want a full, smooth, oblong potato with shallow eyes and a yellow skin and flesh that makes people hungry."

Waban, Mass.
Despite Tony Kushner and Alisa Solomon's heroic efforts to redeem Caryl Churchill's good intentions ["Tell Her the Truth," April 13], I can't help but read the penultimate speech of her play as an invitation to anti-Semitic stereotyping. What human being is not moved and sorrowful at the death of any child? Only a monster reacts to a bloody child with the cold calculation of the speaker. And Churchill leaves her audiences with that portrait of the Jew, undoing any sympathy created by her earlier dialogue. This is Shylock, without the humanizing gesture of the "hath not a Jew eyes" speech, devoid of even the capacity for empathy. One can criticize a war without dehumanizing a people.
Tel Aviv
I've read Caryl Churchill's Seven Jewish Children: A Play for Gaza three times and cried through each reading. As a mom and an activist living in Israel, I found the play devastating and true. Beyond that, it is remarkably compassionate and clear in its historical consciousness and the awareness that our deepest urge, to protect our children, can have terrible moral consequences. There's not an anti-Semitic word in it.
As my Israeli husband said, she captured exactly how it really is to live here. We constantly struggle with the questions of when and how and what to tell our children about what is happening all around them. That's why, for example, I take my older daughter to events supporting the shministim, the high schoolers refusing to be drafted. Perhaps, as Kushner and Solomon write, this girl will grow up to work for justice.
It is not anti-Semitism but that ability to open people's eyes that is so scary to those who attack Churchill's play.
Madison, Va.
If The Nation truly has an interest in finding a way through the swamps of hatred that obscure the path to peace between Arabs and Jews, it might think twice before lavishing praise on such irritants as Caryl Churchill's play. Rubbing salt in wounds hardly heals. The argument that it has been critically acclaimed doesn't work so well after we look around and see that the play's effect has been to stir the pot of hate. May I suggest that you do a piece on the work of novelist Daniel Spiro, who has organized (in the Washington, DC, area) a formal gathering of Muslims and Jews to strengthen the common ground that's certainly there beneath their feet?


text: Hey so I'm doing an exhibition in London for a Young Designers Competition and I wanted to make my stand look good. I'm getting some contact cards very soon which I am pleased with, got a shiny new website and some other stuff like props and images for the display. I will have my Macbook on the desk with a 'turntable' of the desk... basically a rotating 3D view. I am trying to get hold of a 24" iMac for the day with KB & M, maybe Apple will help, if not I might just buy it for one day My iPod classic will be in the desk playing some quiet music to show the integrated speakers off. I will have a small pile of my contact cards on the macbook for viewers to take away. Basically I have designed a 'special' desk and want to have some posters printed for the exhibition stand. I have done a quick mock up... basically I would have 2 Long thing Posters each side to clearly mark where my stand is and to grab attention... These side posters will have 'Novanta.' in big bold, colourful letters at the top and then some quick bullet points, short text and images of my product so the viewer knows what its called, what it is and what it does. I will then have my best A3 sized coursework pages since its a young designers... these will show the progress of the design and thought process. I'm also looking for a print shop that might help support me if they put their logo and company name on the poster in return for a discount. Otherwise, failing that the side posters will cost about £20 or less each from a local print shop... I don't like the man who runs that... expensive, not that helpful and supporting Interested in your views! Luke. P.S. the middles pages on the mock up isn't to scale... they should be A3 but they are about x2 wider and taller than they should be. P.S.S. the posters and pages will all match (not like in the mock up), also the contact cards and website also match the display

This was the day I met my sister Beth.
Okay, half-sister, but I really prefer just sister. We have enough qualifiers in our lives and we don't need any more tonight. That's Beth on the left, then me, our dad, Mantel Man and Bocci. It was 1976, and it must have been spring because we were in Berkeley for our cousin's track meet.
Beth lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, then as now. She was everything I wanted to be: urban, attractive, thin, sophisticated, and sixteen. I made it to sixteen, eventually.
It's weird to talk about my
siblings; I say either "there were three of us" or "we four kids,"
depending upon the context. Every once in a while I forget and say, "my
sister blah blah blah" to someone who knew me before this day,
THE day, but who somehow missed the fact that I had a sister out there,
somewhere. The last time I was that careless was last year, when I
nearly knocked my best friend's mother for a loop; she had never heard
the story, somehow.
Beth probably doesn't remember this, but every Father's Day is an anniversary of sorts for us. About 1995 I decided I wanted to find Beth, with whom we'd had no contact for years, and I was going to use my new computer for the job. The idea was to find her as a sort of Father's Day present for Dad.
No luck. I gave up quickly.
And then, on Father's Day of that year, Beth called Dad, out of the blue. Great minds must think alike, or maybe related minds do? We've been a reunited family ever since.
Beth is still urban, attractive, thin and sophisticated. Neither of us are sixteen any longer, thank God. But I am still the scruffy kid with the goofy smile, somewhat bewildered and certainly enchanted by the idea of a big sister. I still don't know how to act around her, but I love her, and I am reminded every Father's Day, which is almost here. It's a little early to be celebrating Father's Day, but I'm writing this tonight because Beth just sent me this photo, out of the blue. The subject line read The Day.
Beth, you can't make me go to Berkeley again, sorry. Happy anniversary, Sistah.


text: At last, Kristen Wiig's Portlandia episode is this week, as previewed in the clip above. It would be easy to see superfan Gathy as the bad guy in this clip, but honestly, if you call your band Cat Nap, aren't you sort of asking for a catnapping? They should have gone with Catnip; that way their fans would just give them a plant that would make their cat roll around on the ground for a while, and rub itself against stuff. That would be a much less entertaining role for Kristen Wiig, though, probably.

Prop betting is discussed and the guys start their own prop betting game. If your into porking, but not pork, you should look into PETA's
new porn site. Speaking of PETA, the guys think they should pump their brakes and just stick to the basics, and do they owe Mike Vick more?
The guys go on to discuss the troubles of the Philadelphia Eagles and their "dream team" stigma. Travel agent Tim tells us to go to Jamaica and the non-Juarez parts of Mexico. Finally, Kyle signs us off.

Anger management strategies include relaxation, cognitive restructuring, solving the problem, better communication and humor. Changing the environment, taking some personal time and avoiding situations that cause rage are also some useful strategies.
Breathing deeply and relaxation imagery can aid in soothing the feelings of anger. Breathe deeply from the diaphragm while slowly repeating a calming word or phrase. Use your memory or imagination to visualize a relaxing experience. Perform some simple nonstrenuous exercises such as yoga to relax the muscles.
Cognitive restructuring involves changing the way a person thinks. Avoid negative words such as never, focus on the intended goal rather than attacking people, and apply logic when facing a challenge to see a rational perspective. Finally, change your demands to requests. Try to find solutions to problems that cause frustration and anger. Follow a plan, observe time management and monitor the progress when solving the problem.
Improve communication by listening to others and think carefully before responding. Humor helps to diffuse rage. It aids to face a problem more constructively, however, avoid laughing off the problems as well as sarcastic humor since it is a form of aggression.
Find alternative environments to ease anger, for example, if driving causes fury, try alternatives such as taking a train or bus. Also, consider having some personal time on stressful days to recover, and avoid things that bring anger.


text: Dear Therapist, If your patient is confronting divorce, he or she is facing a myriad of legal issues in addition to emotional ones. By having a greater understanding of what individuals go through in the court system when dealing with divorce, custody, visitation and property division issues, you will be better equipped to help your patient deal with the emotional fallout. Friedman & Friedman PLLC, Attorneys at Law, a matrimonial and family law attorney with 35 years of experience, presents "Legal Considerations for Patients Facing Divorce," a seminar designed to help psychologists and social workers understand the legal issues associated with divorce, which may affect how they advise their patients. The seminar will take place on November 30, 2011, at noon at the Viana Hotel and Spa at 3998 Brush Hollow Road in Westbury. For instance, you may think it is not in your patient's best interest to stay in the marital home. However, there may be legal implications – such as those involving the custody of the children – that are associated with your patient moving out at this time. Or when your patient's children misbehave – perhaps as a reaction to the problems between their parents -- you may offer advice on discipline. However, when parties are going through a divorce, there are legal issues pertaining to parental discipline, such as corporal punishment, that therapists should understand. In some cases, your patient or the other parent may be brainwashing the child against the other parent. Therapists should be aware of the possible legal remedies or, in some cases, a lack thereof, to offer sound advice in these situations. By better understanding your patient's legal issues, you can better guide your patient emotionally. The cost of the seminar is $20, which includes lunch. To sign up, call Friedman & Friedman, Attorneys at Law at 800-576-1707. Space is limited, so reserve your spot early.

Aaron T.wrote a review of Craft Elite Bib Shorts - 2012 on August 17, 2012
Good Bibs
I have tried Voler, Bontrager, Pearl Izumi, Castelli and now Craft bib shorts; I would recommend these bibs if you want comfort & flexibility. I am 6'2' 195 and the XL fit perfect, I wear Large in Voler & PI. My favorite bibs are my Bontrager bibs with a race chamois but these are a very close second. These would be my favorite bibs if the chamois molded to your body like the Bontrager Inform chamois does. Overall they are an excellent pair of bibs that rank up there with the best I have.

The Trump Administration on Thursday raised the possibility of imposing a 20 percent levy on Mexican imports to help pay for a border wall, a move that could cause Mexico to retaliate.
But any kind of trade war would put Colorado's ranchers, manufacturers and natural gas producers most at risk, while also raising costs for U.S. consumers, trade experts said Thursday.
"Colorado firms rely on North American supply chains, and this import tariff will ultimately be passed on to the American consumer. Worse, it could lead to Mexico enacting retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods going into Mexico," said Karen Gerwitz, president of the World Trade Center Denver.
Mexico is the state's largest trading partner after Canada, but Canada's share of Colorado exports has fallen from 24.5 percent in 2012 to 17.7 percent in 2015. Mexico's share of Colorado exports, by contrast, has risen from 10.4 percent of the total in 2012 to 13.5 percent in 2015.
Mexico is especially important to meat producers in the state. Beef exports, chilled and frozen, represent the first and fourth largest export categories to Mexico, accounting for about $103 million in sales through November of last year.
Mexican consumers have also developed an appetite for Colorado pork and chicken, the export numbers show. Colorado pork sales in Mexico reached $33.3 million in the first 11 months of 2016, up from $1.97 million in the same period of 2015. Chicken exports have risen from from $3.6 million to $11.9 million.
And Colorado cheese sales, while down in recent years, represent the seventh-largest export category to Mexico. They were running at $26.9 million in the first 11 months of 2016. In Colorado, cheese production is synonymous with Leprino Foods, an important buyer of milk from the state's dairy farmers. After beef, aluminum can lids, a specialty of Broomfield-based Ball Corp., were the second-largest Colorado export to Mexico, accounting for $50.2 million in sales through November 2016. That is up from $10.4 million in the same period of 2015. Ball, the world's largest can maker, recently built a can manufacturing plant in Monterrey, Mexico.
Another potential casualty of any trade war with Mexico could be U.S. natural gas producers, including those operating on Colorado's West Slope. Mexico has made a big investment to replace fuel oil and liquefied natural gas with cheaper natural gas from the U.S., said Jason Slingsby, an energy analyst at BTU Analytics in Lakewood.
U.S. natural gas exports via pipelines doubled between 2009 to 2016, due to new demand from Mexico, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Producers have invested billions of dollars into fields in west Texas under the assumption they could off-load any associated gas they produced into Mexico, which in turn gets an economic boost from having a cheaper source of energy.
"We remain confident the administration wouldn't do anything to harm the largest energy investment of the last half century," said David Ludlam, executive director of the West Slope Colorado Oil & Gas Association.
If U.S. gas can't flow freely into Mexico, for whatever reason, it will further depress prices here, harming producers and the rural economies where they operate, Slingsby adds. That includes places like Garfield, Mesa and Rio Blanco counties.
"Trump is very pro oil and gas," he said.

I have a great idea for a "You Tell Me" because there isn't anything else to talk about Miami Dolphins-related right now (which is kind of pathetic considering we are in Week 6 of the NFL season).
My idea is to see who you would rather the Miami Dolphins have taken in the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft.
With the pick they took RB Daniel Thomas, who has looked very good so far. He is one of the few bright spots on the team, and he has looked much better this year than Ronnie Brown did last year.
The alternative to Thomas, though, was to take QB Ryan Mallett, whom most of you know I was a GIANT supporter of. I strongly believe that Mallett is the real deal, no question about it. The Dolphins obviously didn't feel the same way though, and they allowed him to fall even farther.
So, what I want you guys to tell me is, with what you know now about Miami's offense, would you rather that the Dolphins had Ryan Mallett or would you rather that they still took Thomas. Let's pretend like Chad Henne is still healthy, too, because you can't predict injuries. I want you to say whether you think that Mallett would have been able to lead the Dolphins to more wins than Henne.
Thanks for stopping by, and I look forward to your responses.

Forum:Is there any way of running C1 on WinXP?
Hi there.
I just found my old C1 disc, and I remember being one of my favorites so I wanted to give it a kick, I slip the CD in the drive and up pops "Creatures can only run in windows95". I tried loopholing it by running the install file from the cd, but same problem, just as the install program starts it gives me the same error message. I don't have Win95 anymore, and I assume I'm not the only one in this situation, how do you Creatures fans run C1 on your new machines? Is there a patch, a fix or something I can do?
Thanks in advance
There's an install patch[edit]
There is a thread on the official forums about this - http://forums.gamewaredevelopment.com/showthread.php?t=302 - which seems to work wonderfully.
Windows XP compatibility mode[edit]
Have you reinstalled the game? To install C1 on XP - Open 'My Computer' the CD drive, then the "Install" folder. Right click on setup.exe and select Properties. Click the "Compatibility" tab and uncheck the check box next to the option "Run this program in compatibility mode for:". Next try to run setup.exe and, if it fails, try using the compatibility option "Windows 98 / Windows Me". If you get the "16 bit Windows Subsystem" error that is fine and easily fixable. If the game has recently been installed then check the compatibility setting on Creatures.exe and Launcher.exe in C:\Program Files\Creatures\ and make sure it is disabled for both - Don 15:16, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

"I first bought this album on cassette right after it came out, then bought a CD copy after several years searching. This is a terrific blend of modern Irish rock, folk and traditional. This is a wonderful album with lots of feeling and great musicianship - nice pipe playing on there too! I first discovered this band after hearing them play "Seven Into The Sea" live at the "LIVE FOR IRELAND" benefit concert and subsequent recording. I highly recommend this disc if you can find it!"

Proven Hardware That Sounds Great
By combining 16 of Mackie's flagship Onyx mic preamps with the performance of 24bit Cirrus Logic AD/DA converters, the Mackie DL1608 delivers remarkable sound quality. Add to that eight balanced outputs, and you have a mixer that not only provides incredible dynamic range, fidelity and transparency, but also great versatility and outstanding value.
Tons of Built-in Processing
The DL1608 is loaded with a choice of powerful plug-ins on every channel, so you won't need to set up additional racks of outboard gear. With just the touch of a finger, you have total control over 4-band EQ, compression and gate plug-ins. Plus, sweeten your sound with a full-featured reverb and tap delay or adjust your mix to the room with the 31-band graphic EQ and limiter on the main and aux outs.
Total Snapshot Recall
The Mackie DL1608 allows you to recall mix functions with just the touch of a finger. With Total Snapshot Recall, you can now easily save and access sound check settings for multiple bands, complex song mixes, previous mixes from challenging venues, recall scenes for theater productions and more.

Channel Presets
Quickly set up a new mix with the DL1608's Channel Presets. With simple touch screen control, you can immediately assign a factory or your own custom channel preset for kick drum, bass, guitar, keyboard and more to any channel you choose. And when you've made the perfect settings, easily save them for later use and share them with your friends.
Multiple iPad Support
Supporting up to 10 iPad devices simultaneously, the Mackie DL1608 allows multiple engineers to control the mix. Plus, it gives band members the ability to adjust their own monitors. Now, the band can dial in the mix they want to hear in real time right on stage.
Channel Images
No more need to search for a marker to scribble down channel ID's on a strip of tape, with the app you can use your iPad camera to snap quick pics of the band members or of their gear, for a completely customized channel ID. Channel images is by far one of the coolest ways to identify tracks when mixing live.

(AllHipHop News) Chris Brown will have to appear in a Washington, D.C. court on April 23rd to fight an assault case and the next two weeks could be rough. According to TMZ, Chris Brown has been placed in general population in a Virgina jail until his court date.
TMZ cites administrative source at Northern Neck Regional Jail in Virginia confirming Brown's arrival to the jail as an inmate. Prior to arriving at the Northern Neck Regional Jail, a Los Angeles judge placed Brown in 23 hours of solitary confinement three weeks ago.
Under Brown's original jail terms, he would only be allowed to shower once every two days and would have no television access. However, at his new jail in Virgina, Brown has regular access to showers, exercise equipment and more.

When I was in college, I answered an ad for a birthday party clown. I needed money and it was a last resort. I had no skills. I didn't type. I was a lousy waitress. The man who interviewed me was Jewish, an anomaly in Salt Lake City, as was I. We hit it off and he hired me. I went to one party in the dime-store outfit he supplied: rainbow wig, striped jumpsuit, foam nose. I spent two desperate hours playing Simon Says and Follow the Leader, the only games I knew, with a group of bored 6-year-olds. Then I quit.
Twenty years later, stuck in how to begin my fourth novel and thinking I should get a real job, I perused Craigslist. There I saw practically the same ad: birthday party clown, weekends, good money. Unfortunately, I was practically the same person. Now I have an MFA, but I still have no skills. I can't type for anyone else, I take dyslexic phone messages, and waitressing is too much like home. I wrote down the "clown wanted" number, but I never called.
Still, the ad got me thinking. Cynicism runs deep in our culture. My kids and their friends think altruism is just a good thing for their college applications. So what kind of person would become a clown? My first thought was pedophile. My second was loser, someone--like me--who couldn't do anything else. I figured Los Angeles had a plethora of clowns who are frustrated, hungry actors. They didn't get the role on "The OC," but at least they're putting on a costume once a week.

are undoubtedly one of the main problems afflicting the Monti Pisani chain;
many are the result of a lack of care on the part of tourists and trippers,
but others are clearly started deliberately. The dry conditions in the
summer, the light breezes in these mountains in all seasons, and the inaccessibility
of the area contribute to the difficulty of controlling and extinguishing
fires. For this reason, a number of 'tracks' have been opened up in the
last few decades to function as fire lines. These enable fire-fighting
equipment to reach the affected area and also form barriers which make
it easier to bring fires under control.

Explore the tabs below to better understand the needs locally, or go directly to our Giving Guide to review social service funding requests. You may also want to visit our DonorBridge website to explore all of the local social service agencies.
A child is abused every 15 minutes in Dallas County. In 2010, approximately 33,000 cases of child abuse were reported with 6,000 cases confirmed in Dallas County. Each night, nearly 2,000 children who have been taken from their homes are in foster care.
Children's Medical Center reports that 37% of the child deaths they see are due to abuse and neglect. There are many excellent nonprofit organizations serving children who have been abused and neglected, as well as those children in foster care.

The number of domestic violence cases has increased with the downturn in the economy. In 2011, the Dallas Police Department recorded more than 13,500 family violence calls. Local domestic violence shelters continuously operate at capacity, and most maintain waiting lists for people seeking services. At some shelters the wait for safe shelter can be 60 days or more.

In 2011, the Texas prison system released 7,617 offenders from Dallas County. Of those released, up to 80% will be unable to find jobs within a year of release. According to the North Central Texas Council of Government, the ex-offender support system is a "disconnected and complex array of social service providers." Locally, there are nonprofit organizations that provide housing, job training, counseling and other support services for both ex-offenders and their families.

Approximately 20% of families in the City of Dallas live at or below the Federal poverty line, which in 2011 was $18,530 for a family of three. Therefore, it is no surprise that food insecurity in our community continues to increase in spite of a coordinated system of food banks and food pantries throughout North Texas. In fiscal year 2011 the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) provided access to nearly 33 million nutritious meals (90,000 per day). NTFB estimates that one in four children is at risk of hunger each day.

In 2012, Metro Dallas Homeless Alliance's identified 3,447 people in Dallas –11% age 6 or under -- living on the streets or in shelters. Twenty-five per cent of those identified in the annual count reported being homeless for the first time – many due to job loss. The Bridge, Dallas' homeless assistance center regularly sees more than 1,000 people seeking services each day. In 2012, Metro Dallas Homeless Alliance reported that there are just over 400 homeless veterans in Dallas. The most important factor in their homelessness is mental illness and chronic substance abuse. The City has set a goal to end chronic homelessness by 2015, in part through the creation of more units of permanent supportive housing, which is apartment-based housing that includes comprehensive support services to help a person maintain stability.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are more than 112,500 veterans of active military duty living in Dallas County.

Matt Kemp became an Internet sensation after an impromptu gesture he made toward a cancer-stricken Dodgers fan attending a game at San Francisco's AT&T Park.
The Dodgers' Gold Glove center fielder was informed of the disabled fan's plight during a 4-3 loss to the Giants on Sunday. After the game, Kemp met with the fan and his father, who were sitting in the front row adjacent to the third base dugout.
The fan, whose name is Josh, appeared to be a teenager and was dressed in a hooded Dodgers sweatshirt. Kemp shook hands with him, autographed a ball and handed him his cap.
The video, which can be seen on YouTube, also shows Kemp pulling his jersey over his head and handing it to Josh - along with his shoes - while his friend Tommy was recording the encounter on his cellphone.

The much anticipated Moto X launched today on AT&T, but there's a catch – you can only get the standard, black or white versions of the device for now.
If you were eagerly waiting to try your design hand on the Moto X, the good news is you can do so right now, though you won't be able to buy the phone you created just yet.
Motomaker.com, the web application that Moto X buyers will use to customize their acquisitions, is now live. There are two options displayed at startup: the first is "Redeem a Moto X Card", which allows you to enter the code found on the coupon you get when purchasing a customizable Moto X from an AT&T store.
The second option is "Design now. Buy later", which is self-explanatory. For reasons unknown, Motorola hasn't flipped the switch on the customization program, as we expected it would, but at least you get to play with the app and save the design you want for later.
We've played with the simple application, and it gets the job done: choose the color of the back plate from three groups of colors – Cool, Neutral, and Warm, then pick between black and white for the front of the device, and finally choose the accents, which include the volume rocker and the ring around the camera. We opted for the mint and lime combination you can see below.
Other available options are picking a wallpaper from a small list of predefined images, choosing the storage capacity, and the color of the wall charger. You have the option to sign in to your Google account so the phone is delivered to you pre-linked, though in our experience doing so reset the customization process.
As announced earlier this week, the option to engrave a custom text on the back of the phone is not yet available, allegedly due to issues with quality control.
It isn't clear why Motorola delayed the availability of the customized version or when it would become available, but it shouldn't be long now.

This is the second post in a series of art walk/auction ideas. Click here to start the series from the beginning.
To create this piece, the students drew circles on tissue paper. I cut them out and then the students glued them onto the canvas.
#7 - Fall Handprint Tree
This one is pretty self explanatory. I do recommend using acrylic paint on canvas. Tempera paint tends to chip off.
#8 - Every Child is an Artist
I found this quote on pinterest and had to copy it with my kiddos!
#9 - Let Them Be Little Quote
To create the hand print art, my teacher assistant laid contact paper (don't peel off the paper yet!) on the canvas. Draw the heart on the contact paper and cut it out being careful not to mess up the outside area. Carefully peel the paper off the contact paper and lay on the canvas. Fill the heart with handprints and peel off contact paper once it's dry. Add quote!
#10 - SMUSH painting
Doesn't this sound like the funnest thing ever!!! I think this one was my kiddos favorite! I mean who doesn't like to smush? To make this piece I started with a piece of card stock. The students chose three colors of paint (tempera) and drizzled, dripped it on the paper randomly. You might have to experiment to get the right amount of paint. You need enough paint that it will cover all the paper when you smush it, but if you use too much all the colors will turn into one. Next, place another piece of paper on top of the paint. (Like a sandwich with paint in the middle) Then, smush the paint around by pushing and moving your hands across the top paper. When you're done smushing, carefully lift the top paper off the bottom one. TADA Smush painting!!!

A person might go to an AA Meeting and tell the audience they are a cross-addictive survivor, yet many of the people may become confused. Cross-addictions are using alcohol, drugs combined, and being addicted to both.
Alcoholics will often drink alcohol and stay away from drugs with the exceptional occasions that they may try drugs out of curiosity. Drug addicts will often use drugs to escape reality, yet they will drink alcohol without the purpose of getting drunk.
Cross-addicts will use both alcohol and drugs to receive a height of highness. Sometimes cross addicts will depend on alcohol to receive the level of high, especially when they cannot make connections with dealers to obtain drugs, or else they are low on cash and cannot afford the drugs. Likewise, if the person has money they will buy drugs and drinks to get their level of high, or sometimes the person will drink or drug one day dismissing one of the substances or chemicals.
Cross-addictions are far more dangerous than alcoholism, since mixing drugs and alcohol can lead to death sooner. Cross-addicts will use cocaine, amphetamine, marijuana, alcohol, liquor, etc without caring what substances and chemicals they mix.
Qualities of Cross-Addicts
Cross-addicts take greater risks than common alcoholics do, i.e. they often affiliate with drug dealers, users, etc which puts them at risk of going to prison, not excluding the risk of losing their life. The drugs and alcohol is not the only area of threat to life in this situation, since when bad blood crosses in drug relationships, death could be the ultimate result.
Cross-addicts are often in extreme denial, while alcoholics will admit they have drinking problems, yet fail to see the results of drinking. Drug and alcohol addicts will hide heavier than common alcoholics will, since they are behaving illegally. In other words, drugs are against the law; therefore, the person has to use extreme precautions, which brings on paranoia.
Paranoia often sets in because a person has to live in secrecy ongoing, and because the person is breaking the law, including, moral laws. Cross-addicts are less revealing. Cross-addicts rarely tell anyone other than druggies or persons they feel they can trust behaving in like manner, but will not tell family, true friends, or counselors. Rarely do they seek help until the law comes in and the person is arrested and forced by the courts to seek help. Some people confuse paranoia with paranoid, however paranoid is more extreme and anyone with paranoid symptoms is either schizophrenic, psychotic, etc.
Crimes committed by Alcoholics
Alcoholics tend to fall into the arms of the law before getting help also, however some alcoholics will try to quite on their own, or else seek help on their own contrary to what others believe.
Cross-addicts will also commit other crimes in some instances. Especially if the person uses crack cocaine, the person will often steal, lie, sell self as sex to get drugs, sell children, etc. Crack addicts are by far the worse types of drug addicts in the world. They have no purpose in life often, and often feel as though the life is drained from their souls. Cocaine addicts will also commit other crimes, yet they are passive and rarely expose their actions. For example, cocaine addicts might sell drugs to support their habits, or else swindle or even steal on occasions to find ways to support their addictions.
Marijuana is more or less a pastime drug, and while some claim it is addictive, I would have to see more evidence and facts that support their claims. Therefore, marijuana is not something I would put in the category of addictions. In fact, my counselor's husband smoked marijuana and she is the one that put me to thinking more into marijuana, yet I hate the stuff, so regardless I find no use of it, yet it is the only statistical poll on the marketplace, i.e. the drug has caused no deaths at this time. This includes affecting the heart that would cause death.

Homesick prisoner breaks free after moaning about having no inmates from Yorkshire
HOMESICK prisoner Richard Milburn broke out of jail after moaning he had no fellow Yorkshiremen to mix with.
The burglar said he was fed up of being surrounded by inmates from Lancashire and Liverpool.
So he walked out of Category D Kirkham Prison near Preston and fled back over the border to Yorkshire.
"He said he was unhappy because it was not Yorkshire people there. It was Lancashire and Liverpool people"Paul Nicholson
Milburn, 29, who was serving three-and-a-half years for burglary and driving offences, spent two months at large in his home county before surrendering himself. His breakout earned him an extra three months after he admitted escape at Bradford Crown Court.
Paul Nicholson, prosecuting, said Milburn was a model prisoner but added: "He said he was unhappy because it was not Yorkshire people there. It was Lancashire and Liverpool people."
The dad of one, from Bradford, is now surrounded by Tykes as he is banged up in Armley Prison in Leeds.


text: Ive been just lurking the last few months and im fairly confident with scrapebox etc now and use it on various sites no worries. My issue though is I have recently made a website for my self for a more local project im doing. It was ranking for my main search term as number one and also 2-3 for other search terms (it had only been there for 3 days or so when i did a blast and before that i only just selected those keywords a day before that) anyway, i decided to run a blast on the site and only did about 400-500 good pr websites with about 10 keyword sets in the name but to the root site. Anyway the main index page of the site is dancing like crazy for all search terms but my sub pages are still ranking page one etc. I checked and the main index page was page 3 or 4 for my main keyword from position one. Its been like this for two days now. Will it most likely pick back up? 500 links isnt much but i was concerned as this has never happened to me before over something this minor. Should I continue building links gradually to it? a few hundred a day maybe to make it look more natural. thanks for any advice you can give. - Hist0ry.

If These Kids Think It's Bad Now, Just Wait Until College
PC reigns in Snohomish County, Washington Public Schools
Hardly a week goes by now without a headline involving high school students caught up in a controversial flap over what they're wearing.
Certainly it's understandable, if the attire is somehow disruptive to the learning environment, but more often today, we're seeing political correctness as the motivating factor behind upset teachers and administrators.
This example may be the most ridiculous ever, as a group of boys at Snohomish High School have been prohibited from wearing T-shirts to school with the phrase "SNOHOS" on them. One was even suspended for two days.
What's the problem? Apparently some school staffers found the phrase "SNOHOS" to be derogatory toward women. Note the district spokeswoman's personal interjection into the response to a Seattle Times reporter's questions about the matter:
(Seattle Times Snohomish County Bureau- March 31, 2005- Lynn Thompson)
(Story Linked at Orbusmax)
An item on the Snohomish School District's Web site refers to the football team's "SnoHo" traditions. And "Snoho Mojo" is both a headline in the school yearbook and the name of a local espresso stand.
But when Snohomish High senior Justin Patrick wore a T-shirt to school last month with the lettering "SNOHOS" across the front, it led to his suspension from school.
School officials say "Snohos" contains a slang term for prostitutes and is derogatory toward women.
"As a woman, I am sure that you can appreciate our desire in Snohomish to maintain respect for all members of our community, especially our young women, and to not allow the abbreviated form of our school name to be used to reference them as 'ho's,' " said district spokeswoman Shannon Parthemer, in response to an e-mail query about the suspension.
Patrick and four friends say Snohos is their name for their tight group of friends and was coined four years ago when they started filming videos for fun.
"We tried Snohomians, but that was too long," said Kyle Butcher.
Another friend, Mac Stach, said they never considered the term derogatory.
Until Patrick was sent to the office last month for not having a calculator in math class, he and his friends say no one had objected to the shirts that Butcher said they wear to school "all the time."
Vice Principal Robynn Harrington told Patrick the shirt "didn't seem appropriate" for school and that he needed to cover it up. Patrick said that when he protested, Harrington called in another vice principal to confirm that the shirt violated the school dress code, which prohibits any display of words, pictures or references to alcohol, tobacco, weapons, guns or sexual innuendo.
What reference to "ho's" exists here? Anyone who has ever lived in Washington state knows that Snohomish is regularly abbreviated in various ways and settings, including government (Sno-Isle Regional Library System, for example).
There was no emphasis on "ho" in the T-shirts these boys were wearing, so what's the issue?
The real lesson these boys have learned is how oversensitive PC university grads are these days, as they enter various government and corporate positions around the country. This should serve as a head start for the kind of insanity they will face once they reach college.

US flu activity wanes further
Influenza activity in the United States decreased further during the week of Apri 24 to 30, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), with the proportion of deaths from pneumonia and flu below the epidemic threshold. Influenza-associated pediatric deaths numbered 3, including 1 associated with pandemic H1N1, 1 with nonsubtyped influeza A, and 1 with influenza B, raising the season total to 100. Regional flu activity was reported in two states (New Hampshire and New York), local activity in seven states and the District of Columbia, and sporadic activity in 33 states and Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, and Guam. Eight states reported no flu activity.

H1N1 findings from Austrian cases
An Austrian study on the clinical aspects of 2009 pandemic H1N1 flu in that country published yesterday showed that elderly and obese patients and those with neurologic disease were at highest risk for severe disease, that pregnancy was not linked to a higher risk for severe disease in the latter part of the pandemic, and that antiviral treatment had little effect on symptoms or survival but did reduce the risk of admission to an intensive care unit (ICU). The prospective, cross-sectional, multicenter study included data from seven hospitals on 540 patients with confirmed pandemic H1N1 flu; 343 patients (63.5%) were hospitalized, with 49 (9.1%) entering the ICU and 14 (4.1%) dying. Patients admitted to the ICU were significantly more likely to present with thoracic pain, fatigue, and chills. Those 65 and older had the highest case-fatality rate (9.1%) and the highest rate of ICU admission. The median patient age was 19.3 years (range, 26 days to 90.8 years). Half of the hospitalizations were in patients under 21; only 5.6% were 65 or older.

Chloroquine a no-show for flu prevention
Although the antimalaria drug chloroquine has shown in-vitro activity against several viruses, including influenza, it does not prevent acquisition of influenza or affect the clinical disease course, according to a study published online yesterday in Lancet Infectious Diseases. The study group comprised 1,496 healthy adults who were randomly assigned to receive choroquine phosphate, 500 mg daily for 1 week and then once a week through week 12, or a placebo. Blood samples were taken at baseline and after 12 weeks; in addition, participants kept a weekly online diary plus a daily diary and self-administered nasal swabs if they became ill. In the treated group, 12 (2%) of 724 had laboratory-confirmed clinical influenza, compared with 8 (1%) of 738 controls (relative risk, 1.53; 95% confidence interval, 0.63-3.72, p=0.376). Adverse events, mostly mild and rarely requiring discontinuation of treatment, occurred in close to half of the treated group and in about one third of the control group. The authors conclude that although chloroquine was relatively well tolerated in this group, it does not effectively prevent influenza infection.

Civil war in Kachin state of Burma is endlessly going on and producing more and more refugees, IDPs and food shortage as well. Referring local Kachin residents, the Kachinland News said that government's armed forces are continuously pounding villages and Kachin Independence Army (KIA) locations with heavy artillery shells. Minister for the President's office Aung Min himself said in the last Ruili meeting on Oct 30 that 105 mm and 120 mm mortar shells could only be fired by the authorization of Army's Chief-of-Staff of Defense Services in Nay-Pyi-Taw.
The government army continued to reinforce its frontline positions by sending more combat soldiers, ammunition and other essential supplies to continue combat operations in Kachin region. Then it is unquestionable that government army has been launching a hostile offensive at present.
When President Thein Sein met national races affairs ministers from regions and states at the Presidential Palace in Nay-Pyi-Taw on September 7, he emphasized that national races live in the country as blood brothers. As a result, he said, they have the basic rights of citizens affirmed in the constitution.
During that occasion, Thein Sein also confessed that border regions still failed to sustain development on education, health, transportation, and the economy due to fragile stability and the problems with rule of law. This has resulted conflicts with ethnic armed groups, he acknowledged.
"Currently, peace negotiations are going on at two levels, the first at region/state concerned. The process at region/state level would be smoother with the participation of all local national races including national races affairs ministers," the President told the state-run New Light of Myanmar newspaper.
However, the fierce fighting goes on and both sides suffer several causalities through 17-month old war. Why does the government's military stubbornly stick to this unjust war?
"Serious political dialogue within the framework of a robust peace process must take place to resolve the ongoing conflicts among Burma's ethnic and religious groups. The plight of the Kachin is often overlooked by the international community, and humanitarian conditions are seriously deteriorating in Kachin State and Kachin refugee camps," Trent Franks, a congressman of Arizona and co-chairman of the International Religious Freedom Caucus, wrote an op-ed published by the Washington Times newspaper on Monday. Franks's article underscores the uninterrupted conflict in Kachin state coincided with US President Barack Obama's historic visit to Burma this week.
"Since the Burma Army broke the ceasefire agreement in Kachin State in June 2011, at least 70,000 civilians have been displaced from their villages. The atrocities committed against the Kachin by the Burma Army may amount to war crimes or crimes against humanity and should be zealously investigated and prosecuted as the evidence warrants," says Trent Franks.
According to the local eyewitnesses, the Burmese army has cruelly attacked Kachin villages, destroyed homes, looted properties, and forced the displacement of tens of thousands of people. Soldiers have threatened and tortured civilians during interrogations and raped women. The army has also used anti-personnel mines. It continues recruiting forced laborers, including immature children on the front lines.
Fighting has heaped on in jade-land Hpakant Township and as a result over 10,000 civilians have been added up to existing 80,000 internally displaced persons. Local villagers fleeing from battle zones have flooded Church compounds and monasteries in Hpakant and Seng Tawng city.
There are about 30,000 IDPs in Burmese government controlled areas and about 60,000 IDPs are currently taking refuge in KIO controlled areas. Several hundreds of civilians continue escaping their native places because of scared of bullets, bombs, forced labors, rape, tortures and violence.
In fact, the government's armed forces are behind war crimes and crimes against humanity. The human rights violations of Burmese soldiers in Kachin State are severe breaches of international laws. It is also the duty of the current government to provide humanitarian assistance to thousands of war refugees and internally displaced populations in various ethnic states.
In his commentary, Trent Franks particularly highlights the importance of ethnic representatives' participation in the political dialogue.
Franks says, "Comprehensive and effective dialogue on the overall situation in Burma cannot be conducted without these leaders. Moreover, the U.S. must be careful to take no action that could be interpreted as endorsement of any misconduct or human rights lapses by the Burmese government or President Thein Sein, particularly while the Burmese government is still dominated by the military with a very brutal past".
As Chairman of the Central Committee for Progress of Border Areas and National Races, President Thein Sein gave an address at 1/2011-Meeting held at the President Office in Nay-Pyi-Taw in April. Thein Sein emphasized in his speech that without national unity, the country with over 100 national races cannot enjoy peace and stability. So, the government has to prioritize the national unity, he said.
In contrast, Burma army has been intensifying its strength in Shan, Kachin and Karen States planning to clear out the ethnic armed forces defending their self-determination. President Thein Sein's words and his army's movements are poles apart.
To keep his words of compassion, the first thing President has to do is to order his armed forces to retreat up to the 1994-Ceasefire line. Then, he should persuade his soldiers to support an all-inclusive political dialogue including all ethnic representatives.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York officials say they'll ask a state court to unseal documents containing details about the bloody retaking of Attica state prison after a riot by inmates more than 40 years ago.
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman says he'll seek a court order making public previously secret parts of a 1975 state report that examined New York's efforts to investigate the riot and its aftermath. Thirty-two inmates and 11 civilian employees died after prisoners took over the maximum-security facility in September 1971, most of them when state troopers stormed the prison.
The documents include grand jury testimony ordered sealed in 1975.
Among those seeking release of the records are members of a group of prison employees who survived the riot and relatives of those who died.

I believe in the value of t-shirts.
Many people are indifferent to their t-shirts; t-shirts are for dirty things like undershirts or exercise apparel. T-shirts are cheap, unflattering, and definitely not professional. They are what you put on when you feel like crap or are too tired to find "nicer" clothes. T-shirts are what the bums cleaning out your recycle bin wear, in the same size as their 6 year old kid that is helping them.
But t-shirts are also what CEO's wear under their dress shirts. T-shirts are what many athletes wear during competition. Ever had surgery? Bet the surgeon was wearing a t-shirt. And what do you get in thanks for volunteering? Usually a t-shirt.
I believe in t-shirts because they don't discriminate. Boys and girls, young and old, fat and skinny, rich and poor, everyone wears t-shirts. And if you ask any small person – "the size doesn't matter, all we have left are extra larges." Everyone shares t-shirts too. How many times do we borrow t-shirts from a friend, a significant other, or a little brother? I dated someone who was 6'5" – I sure as hell couldn't have ever borrowed his pants or shoes, but I still have one of his t-shirts.
I believe in t-shirts because they are practical. Besides being comfortable, affordable, and machine washable (huge value there), t-shirts are ready to go in every situation. You can even make other things out of t-shirts, such as a quilt, a pillow, a hat, a rag, or in the case of my neighbors, a replacement window?
I believe in t-shirts because they signify respect and promote sportsmanship. In rowing, it is tradition to bet shirts, meaning the losing team (or teams) gives their shirts to the winner after the race. Unlike medals which are awarded based on objective rules, receiving a shirt from an opponent shows they respect your performance and have no complaints, such as regarding the fairness of the race. Giving shirts can be disappointing, but how often do you get to congratulate someone for doing something better than you were able to? If everyone were rewarded based on their opponents opinion of their performance, I think it's safe to say there would be significantly less ethical problems going around.
Finally, I believe in t-shirts because they contain memories. Everyone has their grade school soccer jersey, their fraternity t-shirt, their sports team shirts, those shirts that were borrowed from a friend and somehow never returned. There's always a favorite t-shirt, the worn out one you won't throw away, and the one that is forever lost. You remember the little guys though, because one day, you were really excited or grateful to get that shirt.
If my house was about to burn down and I could only save one thing, I would save my t-shirts.

Squash any bright ideas that Kevin Anderson might step from the basketball court to the lacrosse goal at Loyola.
Freshman Tim McGeeney is the goalie, period. In the opening two victories, McGeeney has a .680 save percentage and, in coach Dave Cottle's words, has "played very well."
Anderson, a goalie in high school but a midfielder for most of his time at Loyola, tended goal in four wins last year before eventual champion North Carolina peppered him in the NCAA tournament. Now that the Greyhounds' basketball season is over, he has rejoined the lacrosse squad, but Cottle isn't sure where to play him.

Sarah: Thank you for your comment. The rule is that the op: functions that back up operators should not accept the empty sequence since the empty sequence is handled at the language level and the function never sees it. Thus, op:subtract-dates op:subtract-times should not accept the empty sequence. The F&O Taskforce agreed to make this change on the 12/2 telcon. All the best, Ashok -----Original Message----- From: firstname.lastname@example.com [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] On Behalf Of Sarah Wilkin Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2003 3:35 PM To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: [F&O] subtracting date/time with empty sequence I'm curious why the subtract functions on date/time were changed to take the empty sequence but the ones on durations were not. Is this a bug or is there a decision behind it? The ones that can take the empty sequence are: op:subtract-dates fn:subtract-dateTimes-yielding-dayTimeDuration fn:subtract-dateTimes-yielding-yearMonthDuration op:subtract-times The ones that cannot are: op:subtract-dayTimeDuration-from-date op:subtract-dayTimeDuration-from-dateTime op:subtract-dayTimeDuration-from-time op:subtract-dayTimeDurations op:subtract-yearMonthDuration-from-date op:subtract-yearMonthDuration-from-dateTime op:subtract-yearMonthDurations --SarahReceived on Wednesday, 3 December 2003 15:23:46 UTC

INFRES: 'Innovative and effective technology and logistics for forest residual biomass supply in the EU ' is a project funded from the EU's 7th framework programme. INFRES aims at high efficiency and precise deliveries of woody feedstock to heat, power and biorefining industries. INFRES concentrates to
develop concrete machines for logging and processing of energy biomass together with transportation solutions and ICT systems to manage the entire supply chain. The aim is to improve the competitiveness of forest energy by reducing the fossil energy consumption and the material loss during the supply chains. New hybrid technology is demonstrated in machines and new improved cargo-space solutions are tested in chip trucks. Flexible fleet management systems are developed to run the harvesting, chipping and transport operations. In addition, the functionality and environmental effects of developed technologies are evaluated as a part of whole forest energy supply chain.
Project newsletters 1 & 2 have been published.
Newsletter 1: Customer and markets of Forest Biomass
Newsletter 2: Forest biomass recovery and improvements
