Food is a necessity and the collectivists use it as a weapon.
This has been achieved by attacking the food supply by way of:
• Deception and Propaganda
Deception and propaganda have been used by Wall Street bankers in creating a mindset for massive profits and a monstrous food industry to support it. This has ushered in industrialized farming and "Big Ag". The food industry only grows 1% per year, but in order to clear enormous profits, the industry must:
1. Sell more food (despite only needing a fixed amount).
2. Sell the same food at a higher price (this is usually done through processing the food).
3. Creating new markets for the food (like using corn for animal feed and crops for fuel).
• Water Shortages, compliments of the Endangered Species Act (ESA)
Man-made droughts have been created by Congress, using their authority under the ESA, to stop irrigation water from flowing to farms. Also, the ESA is used to prevent planting crops on farmlands that have been deemed "protected habitats" of so-called threatened or endangered species.
• Monoculture and Subsidies
In the 1970's, Earl Butz, the head of the US Agricultural Department, decided that all farmland should be used to continuously grow food. The result is depleted soil nutrients, therefore, synthetic fertilizers are used to replenish depleted nitrogen. Prior to this time, rotational farming was practiced: farmers would alternate planting corn that depletes the soil, with soy that enriches it, and allowing the land to lay fallow (unplanted) to restore nutrients to the soil.
This action was implemented through government subsidies and tax breaks to farmers, which affected their ability to get loans from banks. As a result, corn became the single biggest crop, and a virtual monoculture (growing only one crop) was created. Monocultures are dangerous because one disease can wipe out the entire food supply (like the great potato famine in Ireland that left thousands to starve).
Archer Daniels Midland and Cargill, the mega corporations that process, store and transport food, are the biggest recipients of agricultural subsidies. Ron Paul has advocated ending all farming subsidies, in order to eliminate the corporate take over of our food supply and to open up a free market.
Corn, used as a sweetener in high fructose corn syrup, is made with sulphuric acid, according to the excellent documentary King Corn.
The most abundant farms are those that grow many types of plants, using rotational farming.
• Pesticides:
Pesticides kill insects. They are not too good for humans, either. Monsanto is the leading producer of pesticides in the world.
If you grow your own food, try using Diotomaceous Earth; this is a powder that is non toxic to humans and pets, but works mechanically to kill ground crawling bugs, so they don't develop immunities to it. Diotomaceous Earth are nearly microscopic diatoms (sea creature shells) often shaped like snowflakes and they cut the waxy chitinous exoskeleton on bugs, killing them.
• Monsanto's seed monopoly
Monsanto controls over 85% of the world's seed market. They cornered the market by selling their patented seeds cheaply to farmers, and charging the farmers for the seeds collected after the harvest (to use for the next season), because they owned the patent. After harvest, the amount of Genetically Modified seeds are fewer than what the farmers could have collected from natural seeds. Further, the farmlands are ruined, because the GM seeds are still present, even if natural seeds are planted in the soil later, and they cross breed with the GM seeds.
• Poisoned food with Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)
Monsanto's GMOs have made America's food supply toxic, and are present in over 75% of the average American diet and they don't even know it due to a media blackout). Genetic engineering is combining 2 or more life forms that would never mate in nature, in order to create a new life form so that it could be patented (like a fish and a tomato). In order to do this, the genes of the organisms are injected with virus, bacteria and/or metal, so that the genes will fit together. These genes then commonly mutate into new unknown life forms, with unknown implications.
Monsanto avoided FDA testing of GMOs by using the dubious talents of Michael Taylor, who started as a lawyer specializing in public policy, then he became the FDA Commissioner of Public Policy, then vice president of Monsanto, and is currently a food advisor to the FDA. Taylor got FDA approval of GMOs when he held office in the FDA in the 1990's. He went to work for the FDA and argued that food has been around for millions of years, so food is safe; he then postulated that GMOs were "substantially equivalent" to food, therefore, GMOs are safe.
Taylor's career is the definition of the "revolving door" (in and out of government office to affect policy in favor of corporations). He is the 2nd cousin of Tipper Gore.
There have been several studies, as well as Monsanto's own data, that shows that GMOs cause liver and kidney damage.
• Toxic Meat and Dairy
Because there was is so much excess corn, as a result of Earl Butz' policies from the 1970's, corn is now used as animal feed. This is particularly harmful for cattle as they are ruminates (multiple stomachs) and were created to eat grass and digest it slowly. When cattle are fed corn (a grain), it produces a condition known as 'acidosis' and their stomachs bloat and implode and the animals die. So, they are given antibiotics and hormones (to fatten them), and then slaughtered before they can die from acidosis, when sent to an industrial feed lot.
When you factor in the concentration of harmful substances from GMO feed, GMO growth hormones and other hormones fed to dairy cattle, you can imagine the harmful implications for humans.
The UN and its affiliated groups that receive funding from them, promote vegetarianism to reduce phony carbon emissions. However, in March of 2010, they admitted that their "science" was skewed.
• Codex Alimentarius
This is an agency of the United Nations designed to de-nutrify food and regulate it, so that the government has total control over all food. One of its main goals is to classify food as a drug, so that adequate vitamins will be unavailable. It is being implemented slowly and secretly (again due to the media blackout). The video We Become Silent is an excellent introduction to this UN horror.
1. Educate everyone you know and stop allowing the Wall Street mindset to dictate what is in our food supply
2. Buy organic food
3. Grow your own food with organic heirloom seeds (permaculture).
4. Join a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). Groups formed to buy food directly from farms and deliver to urban areas. The steady income stream also benefits farmers.
5. Shop at farmer's markets.
6. Stay away from high fructose corn syrup.
7. Lobby against farm subsidies
8. Inform local markets and restaurants that you want to eat organic food.
1. Use non GMO seeds and avoid polluting your land and getting caught in Monsanto's trap of paying for 2nd generation seeds.
2. Plant a variety of crops on a rotation program (read The Omnivore's Dilemma for a detailed model of "Polyface Farm" -a successful rotational farm)
3. Hemp can provide super nutritious food, oil, paper and textiles. You can lobby your County Commissioners or Superintendents to pass a resolution to grow hemp in designated areas. This crop will always be in demand as it has so many uses. It used to be illegal to NOT grow it!
4. Form coalitions of independent farms and create voting blocks to pressure lawmakers.
Follow this link to watch "King Corn"
This movie is important because it exposes these important facts:
1. Due to Earl Butz' agricultural program to produce more food in the 1970's changed farming (crops were no longer rotated, thus creating the need for fertilizers like synthetic nitrogen that has caused all kinds of problems in water sources).
2. Acidosis in cattle that should be fed grass, but are fed grain (corn) instead- and that makes the cattle very sick, so they are given large doses of antibiotics. The cattle on an industrial corn feed lot would die within 6 months, so they are slaughtered at 3-5 months.
3. High fructose corn syrup is made with sulphuric acid! One of the most causic chemicals available (it will burn your skin off on contact)

So, my friend and occasional provocateur, Claire Burge, has rattled my cage and challenged me to start blogging again. Her tactic was to send me a provocative question to which I would reply. After much delay, here goes dusting off the old WordPress install …
Deconstruction before construction is a core element of design thinking. Why is it important to understand the individual components or challenges before understanding the whole?
One of the most powerful activities within design thinking is framing the problem. Probably more than any other activity, how you characterize the problem you're solving is going to be the best predictor of whether you'll come up with anything innovative in the first place. The question is more important than the answer.
Einstein famously said,
If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution, I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask, for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than five minutes.
When I teach problem framing, I often use the example that trying to "build a better diabetes meter" will yield decidedly different solutions from "helping people manage their disease."
In the typical "go do" cultures we exist and work in, we very quickly identify the "thing" we are going to do without taking a step back to understand the underlying "why(s)" we are doing that "thing" in the first place. Is that "thing" even valuable for the person it was originally intended for?
Whenever I am given a directive, or we are kicking off a project, I spend time with the team and starting with the original problem, we ask a successive series of "Why? Why else? Why else?" You can purposely narrow, or deconstruct the problem by asking "How? How else?" This technique is formally called Abstraction Laddering, but the overall purpose is to consider various re-characterizations of the original problem.
Not only is this a worthwhile activity to stretch your thinking about what you're solving for, you'll get the added benefit of gaining alignment on what you're trying to do as a group.
All problems aren't created equal either. By deconstructing the individual challenges, you can also begin to evaluate which challenges have a higher relative impact to solve for in the first place. You can do anything, but you can't do everything, so placing a bet on a high value problem will always get my vote.
I like to use the Alternative Limb Project as a great case story in problem framing. What if an artificial limb were an enhancement vs. a replacement?
"Far Out on a Limb" – New York Times
The Alternative Limb Project
Even the structure of the questions you ask, particularly when leading into ideation, can have a massive effective on outcomes.

|Auntie Helen wearing the opal ring in 1920
Sometimes it's hard to think of our ancestors in terms of being people, or at least people different in any way from the way that we knew them. My great-aunt Helen Bulak was one of those people. Aunt Helen always seemed like a fussy old lady to me, or as my mom said, "Sometimes Auntie can be a real noodge..." It's hard to think that she might have ever been different.
My grandmother said when they were little, my Aunt Helen was the "pretty one." Helen was prettier and chubbier which was high praise back in the day when chubbiness was indicative of a healthy constitution. Helen was also popular. According to my grandmother Helen was "...a bridesmaid for all the weddings." I have dozens photos of Aunt Helen dressed as a bridesmaid. Sometimes she's pictured with a young man (always a different young man) and sometimes as part of a larger wedding party. As they saying goes, "Always a bridesmaid, never a bride."
While Aunt Helen never married she did become an astute business woman, operating what began as a millinery and dry goods shop, for decades on Millbury St. in Worcester. She was never rich but definitely was well-to-do, traveling to Poland in 1937 when most people, my grandparents included, were struggling through the Great Depression. Helen became a leader in the Worcester Polish business community and later worked to assist Polish DPs in coming to the States after the war. When Auntie Helen retired in 1973 she had been in business for 55 years.
Besides being a fussy, old lady (at least in my young eyes) the other thing I remember about Auntie Helen was that she always wore a large opal ring on one hand. Always. Opal was her birthstone. It is a pretty gold ring with a large opal in the center and two tiny diamonds on either side. My mom told me that a young man gave the ring to her when she was young. Apparently she fell in love with this young man when she was fifteen. Unfortunately for her he was twenty-five. The young man asked her to marry him, but her mother was against it. He was ten years older, and he wanted her to go back to Poland with him after they were married. The relationship ended. He returned to Poland, and Helen never saw him again. Before he left he gave her the opal ring. When I asked my mother what happened to the young man she told me, "He died in one of the wars." My mom told me Helen never forgave her mother for ending the relationship.
Over the last two years I've been working through a box of some 70 or 80 letters and postcards sent from family in Poland. I scan the letters or postcards and send them to my cousin Marek who translates them from Polish into English and returns the translation to me via e-mail. Last year I scanned and sent a postcard. Imagine my surprise when I received the following translation:
[Date stamped 1913]
Dear Helenko,
I wonder very presently how much is your health miss, myself even though everything is good here I continue to think about you and my future [?]
The business I'm currently working at [?] came back to [?] because
I'm not happy here, yours Wacek.
Farewell and please answer me at least a few words.
Please greet the parents.
A poem was also written on the card:
Yes, there are names that are not forgotten
still above the tearful heart will circulate
still continue to open healed wound
until the crystal tears sit in it.
I also have another postcard from Wacek with similar sentiments which was sent in 1912. The postal stamp indicates the postcard was sent from Lublin, so I know Wacek left America at least by the end of 1912. Helen would have been eighteen in October of 1912.
How would both of their lives been different if they had married? Would they have been happy? Would they both have been killed in a war?
It's so easy to forget our ancestors were living, breathing people with hopes and dreams for the future. What were Helen and Wacek's dreams? When I look at Helen's bridesmaid photos and see a young man standing with Helen I wonder, was he the one? Is that Wacek? Would Helen have turned out a different person if she had taken a different path in life? I'll never know. One thing I do know. She wore the opal ring for the rest of her life...
Special Thanks: To my cousin Marek for his translation of the postcard.

So it's not what immediately comes to mind when you think of the Halo franchise. Spartan Assault is still as close as you can get to playing Halowithout a first person view, and it's the first Halo coming to the Xbox One. just in time for Christmas.
Featuring more than 30 missions that bridge the gap between Halo 3 and Halo 4, the already-impressive Spartan Assault's been topped-off for its console release. Five new multiplayer missions, more weapons and a bunch of tiny spore beings of some sort making their Spartan Assault debut.
There's a lot of game here for $14.99, and if you've already purchased thee game for Windows 8 or Windows Phone, you can pick up the console version for only $4.99.
The Xbox One version of Halo: Spartan Assault is coming December 24. Look for the Xbox 360 version in January.


text: When working in automotive R&D, awareness of how various materials act at ambient temperature as well as normal operating temperature is important. Many original equipment manufactures have unique temperature requirements that all components need to achieve, for example: -30oC to 80oC. However, engine and transmission components get considerably hotter. It is extremely important to subject the material to these temperatures during testing to understand their performance.

Homeschooling Conference Encourages Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish Homeschoolers
Last month, an international homeschooling conference held in Telemark, Norway allowed the presidents of three Nordic homeschool associations to meet for the first time: Juhani Paavolainen, representing Suomen kotiopettajat (Finnish Home Educators), Marianne Johansen, representing NHUF—Norsk hjemmeundervisningsforbund (Norwegian Homeschooling Association), and Jonas Himmelstrand, representing ROHUS (Swedish Association for Home Education). This is an encouraging step in the growth of homeschooling in the region, especially as recent news has highlighted the increasingly difficult situation for homeschoolers in Sweden.
Hosted by NHUF, the conference was well-attended by 26 adults and 30 children. The three presidents discussed the ramifications of the newly passed Swedish education law, as well as the foundation for homeschooling freedom. The conference featured Dr. Christian Beck, prominent homeschool authority from the Institute of Educational Research at the University of Oslo, and Marta Straume, who is involved in training teachers in Norway to appropriately supervise home educators. In addition, world-renowned Canadian psychologist Dr. Gordon Neufeld presented a lecture entitled, "Homeschooling and Developmental Science."
The Swedish education law passed in June 2010 will only allow homeschooling in Sweden under "exceptional circumstances." The "exceptional circumstances" clause effectively means that families who apply to homeschool in Sweden will almost certainly receive a definite "no," no matter the circumstances. The law has sparked speculation that Swedish homeschoolers may choose to emigrate to nearby countries.
The current situations in Finland and Norway stand in stark contrast to neighboring Sweden. In Finland, the constitution itself protects the right to home educate. Similarly, the law in Norway stipulates only a learning obligation—children are required to receive education, but they do not have to attend school to fulfill this requirement.
HSLDA is involved in supporting a number of court cases of persecuted homeschoolers in Sweden. These include the notorious case of Dominic Johansson, who was taken into custody by Swedish authorities while the family was emigrating. HSLDA and ADF have filed a lawsuit over this case in the European Court of Human Rights. HSLDA is also supporting a number of families who are appealing the denial of permission to homeschool and who have been fined amounts ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars.

Please visit the ROHUS, NHUF, or Suomen kotiopettajat websites to learn more about the conference or homeschooling in these countries.

Welcome to Breakthrough House!
Breakthrough House, Inc. is a nonprofit community agency established in 1978 to support the recovery of individuals with mental illness by providing services, supports, and opportunities to improve the quality of their lives. Through the efforts of staff and volunteers, interaction with peers, and community involvement, individual needs are met, social and vocational skills are restored, and self-esteem is strengthened, encouraging the men, women, and children who participate in our programs to contribute their talents and abilities to the benefit of themselves and others as they live, learn, work, and play.
Our History
A student at the University of Kansas, searching for a way to meet the internship requirement for her Masters Degree in Social Work, decided to pursue starting a support group for persons in Topeka recovering from mental illness. She discussed her idea with the director of the local Mental Health Association and with others who shared her vision, and together they initiated weekly meetings at her house. What began then as a small network for patients and former patients from Topeka State Hospital, the Menninger Clinic, and other therapeutic settings has grown to become a full-fledged community of mutual support.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower individuals with mental illness to function more independently in their social, living, and working environments and to secure decent, safe, and affordable housing for them in Shawnee County. The people we serve are on a journey toward recovery from mental illness. Our philosophy is to meet them where they are, to accept them as they are, and to walk side-by-side with them on that journey—supporting them, empowering them, working in partnership with them to achieve their goals for independence and employment.
The Services We Offer
Currently, Breakthrough House provides an array of services, supports, and rehabilitation activities organized into three programs: BTH Clubhouse, Consumer Services and Residential Services.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — What do you get when you take the most extensive library of NBA footage, a room full of creative and inquisitive hoops heads and the simple directive of helping fill the basketball void so many of us have been feeling the past two months?
You get "Playoff Gems on NBA TV," 10 crucial postseason matchups that will make their NBA TV premiers this week as Hardwood Classics. Our good friends at NBA TV will air three games a day starting Tuesday and running through Thursday with the 10th and final game airing Friday, Sept. 2. As a bonus they'll re-air all of the games throughout Labor Day weekend, just in case you miss one the first time.
Here's a quick rundown of the games, including the date and times (ET) they will air on NBA TV, with a few of our notes to help refresh your memory:
Tuesday, Aug. 30
Bullets vs. Warriors, 1975 Finals: Game 3 — 8 p.m. ET
Any game featuring Rick Barry at his best is worth your time. One of the game's all-time great scorers, Barry was at his best in this game. He lit up the Bullets for 38 points and Jamaal Wilkes put the defensive clamps, as best any man could, on Elvin Hayes to help the Warriors to what would be an insurmountable 3-0 series lead. The underdog Warriors finished the Bullets off in Game 4 to complete their magical run. There hasn't been a Finals game played in the Bay Area since this one.
Suns vs. SuperSonics, 1979 Western Conference finals: Game 7 — 10 p.m. ET
The Sonics' first and only NBA title doesn't happen without them grinding through this rugged conference final against the rival Suns. Game 7 was played before 37,000-plus fans at The Kingdome. The final and thrilling seconds of this one still gets the juices flowing for Sonics fans who were worried they might not get a chance for a Finals rematch against the Bullets after losing in 1978. Hall of Fame coach Lenny Wilkens and his point guard, Dennis Johnson, did a masterful job of managing the game down the stretch.
Knicks vs. Nets, 1983 Eastern Conference first round: Game 1 — Midnight ET
For those of us with an appreciation for the artist known as Bernard King, this game will be a treat. King turned the Hudson River Rivalry into a rout with a 40-point explosion as the Hubie Brown-coached Knicks dumped the Nets in two games to advance to a conference semifinal date with the Philadelphia 76ers. HT fave Truck Robinson was on this Knicks team as well, as were Rory Sparrow and a young Bill Cartwright (seriously).

Spurs vs. Nuggets, 1985 Western Conference first round: Game 2 — 8 p.m. ET
With the "Iceman," George Gervin showing off all of his silky smooth moves, the Spurs and Nuggets played a classic. Gervin outgunned high-scoring Nuggets guard Alex English in a series that marked the end of the "Ice Age" in San Antonio — Gervin was traded to the Chicago Bulls after the season.
Celtics vs. Pistons, 1985 Eastern Conference semifinals: Game 4 — 10 p.m. ET
The heated Celtics-Pistons rivalry that colored much of the mid to late 1980s took its first major postseason turn in this series. Isiah Thomas had Joe Dumars (via the draft) and Rick Mahorn (courtesy of a trade with Washington) on his side for the first time in the 1985 postseason. But it was "The Microwave" Vinnie Johnson that stole the show in Game 4. The Pistons' surprising showing in this series — which they lost 4-2 — was a statement that they would be a force to be reckoned with in the coming years.
Sixers vs. Bucks, 1986 Eastern Conference semifinals: Game 1 — Midnight ET
With All-World big man Moses Malone sidelined with an injury a young Charles Barkley — that's right TNT's very own! — went to work against the Bucks and posted a monster 31-point, 20-rebound night as the Sixers rallied for the comeback win. This was just Barkley's second season in the league but it served as his breakout year, as he earned second-team All-NBA honors. Malone was traded to the Bullets before the start of the next season and Barkley became the face of the franchise.

Bulls vs. Sixers, 1990 Eastern Conference semifinals: Game 4 — 8 p.m. ET
You didn't really think this project would be completed without at least one dose of MJ, did you? Michael Jordan was at his versatile best in this game, and did it without Scottie Pippen (who missed the game to attend his father's funeral). MJ's 45 points, 11 assists, six rebounds and two steals only tell part of the story. You need to watch the way he dictated the action from end to end to truly appreciate his performance.
Bulls vs. Pistons, 1991 Eastern Conference finals: Game 3 — 10 p.m. ET
In what turned out to be not only the defining game of this series but the turning point in this rivalry, the Bulls were on the verge of erasing three straight years of postseason frustration at the hands of their fierce rivals. MJ went off, scoring 14 of his 31 points in the fourth quarter in what was one of the defining moments of his early career, this was just his seventh season in the league. He added seven rebounds, seven assists, five blocks and two steals in the breakthrough game that set the stage for the Bulls' series sweep of the Pistons and their first Finals appearance.
Celtics vs. Pacers, 1992 Eastern Conference first round: Game 3 — Midnight ET
In a battle of Reggies (Indy's Reggie Miller vs. Boston's Reggie Lewis), Lewis shined brightest with a 32-point effort to lead the Celtics to victory and a series sweep of a Pacers team that gave them fits a year earlier in a five-game, first-round playoff series. Even with aging and wounded stars Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish still grinding, there was no doubt that Lewis was asserting himself as the heir apparent in Boston. He, and not Bird or McHale, led the Celtics in scoring that season. In 10 playoff games that year, Lewis averaged 28 points on 53 percent shooting from the floor.
Friday, Sept. 2
Suns vs. Rockets, 1994 Western Conference semifinals: Game 7 — 10 p.m. ET
Hakeem Olajuwon was at the height of his powers in this one, destroying the Suns with 37 points and 17 rebounds as the Rockets eventually moved onto the NBA Finals and the first of their back-to-back titles. If you need a refresher course to remind you just how dominant Olajuwon was that season, here is your cheat sheet. If first-person testimonials are needed, just check with Clyde Drexler, Barkley, Karl Malone and Patrick Ewing. All of those superstars saw their title dreams end that season because of Dream and the Rockets.
Do yourself a favor and tune in this week. You'll be glad you did!

BOSTON — As Massachusetts governor, Republican Mitt Romney set himself a daunting challenge: craft a death penalty law that virtually guaranteed only the guilty could be executed, then push it through an overwhelmingly Democratic state Legislature that was leery of capital punishment.
Making the task even more difficult, the push by Romney — who is now running for president — came in 2005 at a time of growing national skepticism about the death penalty. Just two years earlier, Illinois Gov. George Ryan had cleared his state's death row after the death sentences of several inmates had been overturned.
Romney decided to tackle that skepticism by coming up with what he said would be a "gold standard for the death penalty in the modern scientific age."
In trying to set a new and higher bar, Romney also was chasing two political goals.
The first was to fulfill a promise, made during his 2002 run for governor, to try to reinstate the death penalty in Massachusetts, then one of a dozen states that had banned the punishment. The second was to burnish his conservative resume as he looked ahead to 2008 and his first run for president.
"We believe that the capital punishment bill that we put forward is not only right for Massachusetts, but it's a model for the nation," Romney said at the time, in comments similar to what he said about his overhaul of the state health insurance system. That law became a blueprint for the sweeping federal health care overhaul enacted by President Barack Obama, which has become an issue in the White House race.
Romney's handling of the death penalty issue opened a window into the type of management style he could bring to the White House if elected. He hand-picked a commission and outlined his goals in broad terms. Then he turned the panel's recommendations into a bill that ultimately failed to get through the Legislature. But his decision to fight an uphill battle on an issue that had begun to lose its urgency also showed Romney wasn't afraid of a political fight.
His first step was to pull together a panel of legal scholars, prosecutors, crime lab officials, a medical geneticist and criminologist Henry Lee, who played a key role in the O.J. Simpson murder trial and other highly publicized cases.
One of those heading up the panel was Joseph Hoffmann, a law professor at Indiana University's Maurer School of Law. Hoffman said Romney gave the group a free hand, but suggested they focus on harnessing "the power of science" to improve on death penalty laws in other states.
"He said 'this is completely up to you.' We were given an amazing amount of discretion and leeway," Hoffman said. "He wanted us to be free to discuss this, talk about it and propose any ideas, any improvement, any processes that would make this the best death penalty anyone had ever proposed."
The bill Romney filed adopted many of the panel's recommendations.
It limited capital punishment to the "worst of the worst" crimes — including terrorism, the murder of police officers, murder involving torture and the killing of witnesses — and required a "no doubt" standard of guilt.
It outlined a series of safeguards, including a requirement that physical evidence, such as DNA, directly link the defendant to the crime scene. Lethal injection was the specified method of execution. The bill also mandated an additional review of evidence before an execution could be carried out. Every death penalty case would have separate juries for trial and sentencing.
Part of Massachusetts' reluctance to impose death sentences comes from its rocky history with the penalty.
One of the most controversial cases involved the executions of Italian immigrants Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, who were put to death in 1927 after being convicted of killing two people during a robbery. Many observers, then and now, say the trial focused unfairly on their anarchist political beliefs and immigrant status.
The state abolished capital punishment in 1984.
By the time Romney took office in 2003, Massachusetts hadn't put anyone to death since 1947, although it had come within a single vote of restoring the death penalty after the 1997 kidnapping and murder of a 10-year-old boy.
But by 2005, lawmakers had again begun to turn away from the death penalty. Some cited human error and prejudice among reasons to steer clear of reinstating it.
"Errors have been made and will continue to be made," Rep. John Keenan, a Democrat and descendant of one of the victims of the Salem witch trials, said during debate over the bill.
Even Romney conceded the possibility of human fallibility during a public hearing on the measure.
"A 100 percent guarantee? I don't think there's such a thing in life. Except perhaps death — for all of us," Romney said, although he described the proposal "as foolproof a death penalty as exists."
Others saw political motives in Romney's efforts.
"There was no way the Massachusetts Legislature was going to pass a death penalty bill," state Rep. David Linsky, a Democrat who opposed Romney's bill and had helped investigate or prosecute about 25 murder cases as an assistant district attorney, said in an interview. "It was all about setting up his future conservative credentials outside Massachusetts."
Others, including many Republican and moderate Democrats backed the measure, however. But the bill was defeated on a 99-to-53 vote in the House after more than four hours of impassioned debate.
Not all the criticism of Romney's proposal came from death penalty foes.
Some conservatives said his plan was so narrowly drawn and had so many layers of safeguards that it would be virtually impossible to carry out an execution under it.
Now running for president a second time, Romney hasn't spent time touting the death penalty proposal. He prefers to focus the debate on the issue his campaign believes offers him the best chance of winning in November: the economy.

Greenwich girls field hockey team edged by New Canaan on late goal
New Canaan High School field hockey coach Erin Gildea called Elizabeth Miller her "super sophomore" following Thursday's game against rival Greenwich High -- and for good reason.
With both teams battling hard to generate scoring opportunities for 50 minutes, it was evident that the FCIAC matchup was going to come down to which team capitalized on one of its final chances.
The opportunistic Miller made sure the Rams cashed in.
Miller's goal off a penalty corner with 10 minutes, 20 seconds remaining in the second half propelled New Canaan to a 1-0 victory over Greenwich in an important mid-season FCIAC game at Cardinal Stadium.
"Every time you play Greenwich it's a huge game," said Gildea, whose team in unbeaten in its last seven. "We know they are having a great season and are a very strong team and we also know we are going to be battling with each other in the standings. This was a well-played game for both sides."
After earning a penalty corner, the Rams (6-1-1-0) scored the game's lone goal. Senior Bea Eppler sent the insert pass to senior Bridget Falcone, who made a cross pass to Miller. Positioned near the top of the circle, Miller put a drive past Cardinals goalie Freddie Bancroft, giving New Canaan a 1-0 lead with 10:20 left.
"It was a great cross, I got low and just shoved it in the goal," Miller said. "We had to take advantage of our opportunities and we finally took advantage of one near the end of the game. We're really improving with each game."
Forcing two more penalty corners shortly after scoring, New Canaan threatened to pad its lead. Yet Bancroft (nine saves) and the Cardinals stood strong in the face of pressure, keeping it a one-goal game.
"Freddie made a lot of nice saves, she has been the difference maker for us," Cardinals coach Ally Orrico said. "Freddie and our defense attacked the ball, forcing the other team to take bad shots. They really do a good job of keeping us in games."
The game concluded with Greenwich on the attack. The Cardinals (5-3-0-0) generated five corners the final 6:45, but didn't tally the equalizer. Juniors Ali Larkin and senior Emily Brash put the pressure on in the Rams' circle, but defenders Bea Eppler and Alexa Ozimek worked hard to clear the ball out of harms' way.
"We had a lot of opportunities at the end, unfortunately we were not able to convert," said Orrico, whose squad reached the Class L semifinals last season. "I'm very pleased with our effort though. Our intensity level was much better today than it was against McMahon (a 1-0 loss) on Wednesday."
Said Greenwich senior right midfielder Emma Montgomery: "The score doesn't reflect how well we played. After halftime we really picked it up and got on fire. We calmed down and began going to the ball."
The Rams also raised their level of play in the second half.
"The first half our nerves got to us a little bit and we were getting beat with their speed," said Gildea, who received six saves from her junior goalie Emma Ball. "We made some adjustments at halftime and got back in it."
Greenwich, which has lost two straight after winning four in a row, will look to get back on track Saturday against host Fairfield Ludlowe. New Canaan faces Cheshire Saturday at Dunning Stadium.
"This is a game we can definitely build on," Montgomery said.

(The Root) — Obesity is more common in African Americans than in other ethnic groups. But when it comes to black people and weight, that's where the agreement seems to end. Is food the culprit? Is exercise the solution? Is there even a real problem to begin with, or should we be focusing on health — or even self-acceptance — rather than the number on the scale?
Against the backdrop of the first lady's mission to slim down the nation's kids, black celebs getting endorsements after shedding inches and a booming weight-loss industry, The Root will publish a series of interviews with medical professionals, activists and fitness enthusiasts that reveal the complexity of this issue and the range of approaches to it.
For the 11th in the series, we spoke to Venus Williams. The tennis superstar is gearing up to compete in the London Olympics, but before buckling down for the games, she stopped in Washington, D.C., for an appearance involving two of her lesser-known priorities: business and health advocacy. A Jamba Juice franchise owner, she's also an ambassador for the company's Team Up for a Healthy America campaign, which is designed to draw attention to the nation's obesity epidemic.
"It's so important to have good roots in healthy eating," she told The Root. "And not everyone learns that in the beginning."
The lifelong healthy eater and recent convert to veganism talked to The Root about her balanced, lifestyle-based approach to wellness; how a health scare inspired her conversion to veganism; and what she's doing to make sure all American kids get the same early introduction to healthy eating that she did.
Read the rest of the interviews in the series here, and check out The Root's other obesity coverage here.
The Root: When it comes to African Americans and obesity, what is the biggest myth or misunderstanding?
Venus Williams: When it comes to people and obesity generally, it's just important to be balanced. It's important to be active, but also to take in the right things that are healthy for your body. It's about being healthy, because obesity does lead to health problems. So it's not just about how you look.
For example, I chose to be a vegan because I had some health problems, so I had to change my lifestyle. It definitely has helped me. I only started last year, so there's still some stuff I'm trying to purge, but it's a lifestyle thing.
TR: If you could make just one suggestion for people to implement in their daily lives with respect to weight and health, what would it be?
VW: What works for me is [a] key word: "lifestyle." You don't have to be perfect and walk the walk every day, but you have to stay active, and you have to make the right food choices most of the time. As long as you do that, it's OK to take some days off and not be active, or eat something that's not ideal.
For me, the right food choices mean a lot of vegetables and fruit and less processed food. We also have to be really conscious about how much sugar we're taking in. You have to take the time to educate yourself.
TR: Are there any other cultural, historical or psychological issues that you think make the black community's relationship with weight and health unique?
VW: I know how I grew up. My mom had us eating vegetables. If we wanted a snack, we went to the refrigerator and got a carrot. It's so important to have good roots in healthy eating, and not everyone learns that in the beginning. And if you don't, it's hard to make changes. I think the real key in our community is to try to educate young people about eating healthy.
We need programs at the grassroots level and in the schools. It's all about keeping our country healthy, and that's important because that's our future. That's why I'm involved in a student lunch program to help students get the right amount of fruits and vegetables throughout the day.
TR: According to the latest statistics, African Americans are 1.5 times as likely as non-Hispanic whites to be obese. What's going on, from your perspective, with black people, obesity and overall health?
VW: I'm not an expert on the statistics, but I can say that [I've promoted] a healthy, active lifestyle my whole life, across the board, for all people. I think that's an important part of avoiding obesity for any group. Jamba Juice is all about a healthy lifestyle, and of course, that's so important to me, so my work with them has been amazing. It reflects my lifestyle.
TR: What else are you working on? What's next for you?
VW: For me it's all about the Olympics right now. For now, that's my focus, and that's it.

Home theater: Channing Tatum, Tim and Eric top new releases roster
Looking to catch a film on Video on Demand or DVD or Blu-ray? Following are some of the newest options available to home theater aficionados.
'The Vow'
Sony, $30.99; Blu-ray, $40.99
Available on VOD on May 8
Movie romances don't get much more gimmicky than "The Vow." Based on a true story, the film stars Rachel McAdams as a boho type named Paige who suffers an accident that wipes out her memories of the previous five years -- including her entire relationship with her husband, Leo (Channing Tatum), and the reasons why she left behind her wealthy parents to pursue art. Leo has to re-woo Paige, and to reconnect her with who she used to be. "The Vow" is predictable, corny and loaded with stereotypes, but it's also genuinely moving, thanks largely to the performances of McAdams and Tatum. The DVD and Blu-ray come with featurettes, deleted scenes and a commentary track by director Michael Sucsy.
'The Front Line'
Well Go USA, $24.98; Blu-ray, $29.98
Jang Hun's pulpy military thriller "The Front Line" is set during the final days of the Korean War, as soldiers try to grab as much territory as they can before the final peace gets brokered. The film follows an officer sent to investigate a possible murder, who instead finds enemy combatants that have been living and working in the same place so long that they've developed a love-hate relationship with each other. The action is bloody and tense, but "The Front Line" also depicts reluctant warriors who understand the arbitrary nature of conflict. The DVD and Blu-ray include a featurette and a highlight reel.
'42nd Street Forever'
Blu-ray Edition
Synapse Blu-ray, $24.95
The ideas of exploitation films are often more enjoyable than the experience of actually sitting through the movies themselves -- the trailers nearly always promise more brain-jangling scenes of sex and violence than mere celluloid can deliver. "42nd Street Forever: Blu-ray Edition" collects nearly four hours of those trailers -- previously scattered across various other DVD anthologies -- accompanied by smart, funny commentary from grindhouse scholars. The previews run the gamut from tame B-movie sci-fi to wild T&A, but nearly all hint at a host of lurid thrills: flesh, gore and shocks. You'll have to keep repeating to yourself: "It's only a trailer…"
'Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie'
Magnolia, $26.98; Blu-ray, $29.98/$34.98
Those unfamiliar with Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim's endurance-testing brand of "anti-comedy" probably shouldn't get anywhere near "Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie," but the duo's fans won't be disappointed with the film's willful weirdness. The plot involves Tim and Eric -- as "themselves" -- squandering a huge budget for a big Hollywood production, which they then try to repay by taking over a run-down mall. Despite the presence of comedy heavyweights like Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis (in small roles), actual punch lines are in short supply here, since Heidecker and Wareheim generally find it funnier to annoy audiences with repetition and sloppiness. This is their shtick, though -- and good for them for remaining defiantly unpolished. The devotees will dig it and also will appreciate the DVD and Blu-ray, which adds typically twisted deleted scenes, a commentary track and a featurette.

Montejo v. Lousiana: Michigan v. Jackson overruled leaving an interrogation free-for-all
An inculpatory statement given by a defendant to police after the court ordered the appointment of counsel may be introduced at trial as evidence against him. In so holding, the Court overruled Michigan v. Jackson, which presumed that a waiver of the right to counsel was invalid once counsel was appointed at arraignment, and did not require the defendant to invoke the right to counsel. The Court explained that the protections of Miranda, Edwards and Minnick v. Mississippi, sufficed to protect defendants against police badgering that induced them to waive the right to counsel. Under Miranda, the suspect must be advised of his right to counsel. Under Edwards, once a defendant has invoked the right to counsel, interrogation must stop. Under Minnick, no subsequent interrogation may take place until counsel is present. These protections meant that Michigan v. Jackson's additional prophylactic layer would not be justified by the additional costs of invalidating confessions and letting criminals go free. The Court noted that, on remand, Montejo would be free to argue that he had made a clear assertion of the right to counsel prior to interrogation, and that the subsequent interrogation therefore violated Edwards v. Arizona. Montejo would also be free to argue that any waiver was involuntary because it was based on misrepresentations by police as to whether he was appointed a lawyer.

Abuelhawa v. United States: Drug Telephone Counts Punish Sales Not Purchases
Whether the use of a telephone to buy drugs for personal use "facilitates" the commission of a drug "felony," in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 843(b), on the theory that the crime facilitated by the buyer is not his purchase of drugs for personal use (a misdemeanor), but is the seller's distribution of the drugs to him (a felony). The Court answered in the negative, holding that using a telephone to make a misdemeanor drug purchase does not "facilitat[e]" felony drug distribution in violation of §843(b). Stopping with the plain meaning of "facilitate" here would ignore the rule that because statutes are not read as a collection of isolated phrases, "[a] word in a statute may or may not extend to the outer limits of its definitional possibilities." Dolan v. Postal Service, 546 U. S. 481. Here it does not.

Flores-Figueroa v. United States: "Knowingly" applies to all elements of aggravated identity theft law
The federal aggravated identity theft statute, 18 U.S.C. § 1028A(a)(1), prescribes a mandatory two-year term of imprisonment for any person who, "during and in relation to" certain other specified crimes, "knowingly transfers, possesses, or uses, without lawful authority, a means of identification of another person." Flores-Figueroa, a Mexican native, worked at a steel plant in East Moline, Ill. He was accused of using a phony Social Security card and a phony alien registration card. The two numbers on those cards had been assigned to someone else; he argued that the enhanced mandatory minimum sentence contained in § 1028A(a)(1) did not apply to him because he used the documents without knowing the numbers were actual numbers assigned to another person. He was convicted and sentenced to 75 months in prison, including a consecutive 24 month enhancement required 1029A(a)(1). The Eighth Circuit Court upheld the sentence, concluding that it was not necessary to show that Flores-Figueroa knew he was using another person's identifying information. In an opinion by Justice Breyer, the Supreme Court reversed, 9-0, holding that ordinary English grammar suggests that the term "knowingly" applies to all of the statutory elements. The court rejected the government's focus on what the words necessarily imply (that is -- "John knowingly threw away the homework of his sister" does not necessarily imply that John knew the homework belonged to the sister) in favor of a test that looks at the words would ordinarily imply (that is -- that John knew whose homework it was). It then noted that in criminal law, courts typically apply the required mens rea to every element in the statute. The Court rejected the government's legislative history argument without commenting on whether the statutory language was ambiguous. It rejected the government's argument about the difficulty of proving such knowledge by reference to the "classic" identity theft case, which in the Court's opinion involves using someone's information to get access to their bank account or credit card. Finally, the Court found that "concerns about practical enforceability are insufficient to outweigh the clarity of the [statutory] text." Justice Scalia (joined by Justice Thomas) concurred in part and in the judgment, taking issue with the Court's statement that courts typically apply the mens rea to all elements of a criminal statute. He pointed out that he hasn't canvassed all the cases so didn't know if that was true and that he was not prepared to say that it should be true. He also disagreed with the Court's legislative history discussion: "[t]he statute's text is clear, and I would reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeals on that ground alone." Justice Alito also concurred in part and in the judgment, because he felt that the Court's point about ordinary English usage was overstated and that context was always the paramount indicator of meaning. He noted that the language used in criminal statutes is often formulated differently from ordinary speech. Justice Alito would start with a general presumption that the specified mens rea applies to all of the elements of the offense, but would also recognize that there are instances where context may rebut the presumption. He would not join any part of the opinion that "may be read to adopt an inflexible rule of construction that can rarely be overcome by contextual features pointing to a contrary meaning." The case resolves a circuit split, and overrules contrary precedent in the Fourth, Eighth, and Eleventh circuits. Its reasoning can also be used to renew challenges to other statutes in which courts have not applied the mens rea to all of the elements. Justice Alito's concurrence offers the following examples: 18 U.S.C. § 2423(a)(knowingly transporting an individual under the age of 18 with the intent that the person engage in criminal sexual activity, where courts have not required proof that the defendant knew the person's age); 21 U.S.C. § 861(a)(1)(knowingly enticing a person under the age of 18 to violate drug laws, where courts have not required proof that the defendant knew the person's age); 8 U.S.C. § 1327 (knowingly assisting an alien who is ineligible to enter the US because s/he has been convicted of an aggravated felony, where courts do not require proof that the defendant knew the alien had been convicted of an aggravated felony). [Adapted from summary by Sara Noonan].

NORWICH, England, Jan. 1 (UPI) -- Police in Britain said a gang of attackers who assaulted a man included two men dressed as Oompa Loompas.
Investigators in Norwich, England, said the three men and one woman who attacked a 28-year-old man after he left a kebab house around 3:20 a.m. Thursday included two men with their skin painted orange and their hair colored green in the style of the characters from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," the Norwich Evening News reported Tuesday.
The victim suffered a cut to his right eye, two black eyes, a small cut to the nose and a cut lip, police said.
Investigators did not reveal the motive for the attack.

When a theater company announces a new season, chances are it's dotted with plays that have been staged once or twice locally. Which is why South Coast Repertory's 2012-13 lineup is truly special.
You won't find a familiar title among the nine productions announced for the first full season under the aegis of Marc Masterson, SCR's new artistic director. You may have heard of one or two, but you haven't seen them at the Costa Mesa theater complex.
An example is "Absurd Person Singular," the farcical English comedy which leads off the season on the Segerstrom Stage from Sept. 7 to Oct. 7. The playwright is one of SCR's favorites — Alan Ayckbourn — and the director certainly is no stranger: David Emmes, co-founder of the 47-year-old company.
Masterson will be in the director's chair for "Eurydice," Sarah Ruhl's new play based on the classic myth of Orpheus and the title character, who goes AWOL on their wedding day. The production runs from Sept. 23 through Oct. 14 on the Julianne Argyros Stage.
"How to Write a New Book for the Bible" is the topic of SCR's third show Bill Cain's comedic drama to be directed by Kent Nicholson. It's a family reminiscence told in flashbacks and will be on the Segerstrom Stage from Oct. 19 to Nov. 18.
Censors are at work on the title of the next offering, "The Motherf**ker With the Hat" by Stephen Adly Guirgis. It's a modern suspenseful comedy set in New York's mean streets and centers on drug addiction. Michael John Carceds will direct the Jan. 6 to 27, 2013, production on the Argyros Stage.
Another quirky title is "Ch'ing-lish," David Henry Hwang's romantic comedy about a Chinese-English translator. This one will play from Jan. 25 to Feb. 24, 2013, on the Segerstrom Stage.
Martin Benson, SCR's co-founder, will stage Samuel D. Hunter's "The Whale," in which the leading character weighs a whopping 600 pounds and seeks to re-connect with his estranged daughter. It's ticketed for May 10 to 31, 2013, on the Argyros Stage.
Three generations of an eccentric Midwestern family faced with major changes provide the centerpiece for "Smokefall," a new drama by Noah Haidle to be directed by Anne Kauffman. It'll kick off the 2013 Pacific Playwrights Festival as a world premiere on the Segerstrom Stage from March 29 through April 28, 2013.
Another world premiere — yet to be announced — will be presented from April 14 to May 5, 2013, on the Argyros Stage. It's also part of the Pacific Playwrights Festival.
Finally, Shakespeare gets rewritten, sort of, in "The Verona Project," a new play with words and music by Amanda Dehnert, who also will direct. It's part theater and part rock concert and will occupy the Segerstrom Stage from May 10 to June 9, 2013.
Various subscription packages are being offered by SCR, and prospective playgoers may learn more by calling the theater's box office at (714) 708-5555 or by going online to http://www.scr.org.

National research projects have been conducted to investigate out-crossing rates of some transgenic crops. Publicly funded research projects on issues relevant to co-existence have been conducted since 1999. Researchers measured pollen flow from GM maize into surrounding fields, determining minimum distances for preventing cross-pollination with conventional or organic fields, and considering relevant parameters like field size and wind direction.
During the test planting of GM maize in 2004, scientists at the University of Halle took samples from neighbouring conventional maize fields in various distances. The evaluation of the experiments showed that the share of GMOs in the conventional maize quickly decreases with increasing distance. At a distance of 10 metres, most maize samples contained GMO shares below the labelling threshold of 0.9 percent. With high confidence, maize at 20 metres from GM plantings will not require labelling. These results have become the basis for the codes of Good Farming Practice that seed companies provide to farmers as of 2005. The documentation is available in German at www.transgen.de (grain maize and forage maize).
The test planting in 2005 was coordinated by scientists of the University of Rostock. In contrast to the test planting in 2004, they designed experiments for several plant species to find out if plants like grasses, barley, potatoes, or fallows can serve as buffer zones for maize pollen. The final results have not yet been published. However, it has already become clear that conventional maize is a more effective at stopping the spread of GM than buffer strips with other crops. In contrast to the analyses in 2004, 2005's preliminary findings seem to suggest that GM content above the labelling threshold of 0.9 percent can be found at distances of more than 20 metres downwind of the GM planting. However, samples were taken directly from the rows themselves, not from the entire harvest batch. What really matters is the GM content in the entire batch when the grain from the entire field is harvested together. Again, the documentation is available in German at www.transgen.de.
In parallel to the test plantings of 2004 and 2005, scientists in Bavaria conducted experiments on the co-existence of Bt maize cultivation and the production of honey. They placed bee colonies at various distances from Bt maize fields and analysed both the honey the pollen carried by the bees for potential traces of GM maize. The result: Only very slight traces Bt maize were found in the honey. The amounts were too small to be quantified precisely. In the collected pollen the scientists sometimes found Bt maize shares above 0.9 percent – but only if the bee populations had been placed directly besides Bt maize fields. Further information is available in German at www.transgen.de (2004 and 2005).
In 2005, scientists from the Federal Agricultural Research Centre (FAL) have started their own cultivation trials on co-existence commissioned by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture (BMELV). Similar to the test plantings, the main goal of the experiments is to identify minimum separation distances and other suitable measures for the co-existence of genetically modified and conventional maize in the same vicinity. In addition, the researchers aim to analyse the impact of clover/grass mixtures and crop stubbles as separation areas. A third aspect of the studies is the question of whether or not the direction of the maize rows relative to prevailing winds has a role in out-crossing rates. In 2006 the focus was on realistic cultivation trials at six locations. In 2007 the previous year's trials were repeated using an almost identical trial set-up.
More information on the trials in 2005 and 2006:
"Over the next few years our aim is to make our trials as realistic as possible." Gerhard Rühl talks about the BMELV coexistence research programme 2005.
BMELV coexistence research programme 2006: locations, experimental design and research questions
The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) funded research on maize out-crossing between 1999 and 2002. The experiments sought to identify the frequency of out-crossing from Bt maize into conventional cultivars depending on various conditions such as weather and prevailing winds. The studied were also intended to help establish co-existence measures. The research programme was conducted by the Federal Biological Research Centre (BBA).
Among the results from this project was the conclusion that the presence of GM pollen drops off quickly with increasing distance from the GM maize field, both in the direction of and against prevailing winds. On average, out-crossing was twice as frequent downwind from the GM field than upwind.
At a distance of ten metres from the GM field, the frequency of out-crossings stayed below one percent on average. At distances of 25 metres, individual measurements were found above one percent, and at 50 metres, out-crossing always remained below one percent. Thus the BBA researchers created a set of basic data which has been largely confirmed by later projects like the test cultivations in 2004. The results are available at www.gmo-safety.eu (documentation and report).
In coorporation with the technical service provider TÜV Nord, the feed company Märka has developed a standard procedure for separating the commodity flows of genetically modified and conventional grain maize.
The goal is to collect and process conventional maize and maize requiring labelling separately. For the system to function the farmers planning to grow GM maize must inform the maize-growing neighbours of their plans. Conventional maize growers with fields less than 20 metres away from GM maize fields must share this with Märka. Once their harvest reaches Märka, this maize is merged with GM maize harvests. When the grain maize is dried during processing, the machine is flushed out with conventional maize after the machine is done with the GM maize, and the first batch of conventional maize is sold as GM. To evaluate the success of the separation system, samples were taken from all incoming maize loads and from points further along in processing in 2005. The analyses showed that the maize harvested more than 20 metres away from GM maize fields consistently stayed well below the 0.9 percent labelling threshold – that is if farmers comply with the seed companies' codes of Good Farming Practice. Therefore, the system for separation has stood the test. The results are available in German at www.transgen.de.
Since no genetically modified rapeseed varieties have been approved for cultivation in the EU, there is no practical experience on the co-existence of genetically modified and conventional rapeseed, neither in Germany nor in other EU member states. Nonetheless, between 1999 and 2004 several research projects with GM rapeseed have been conducted in Germany in the framework of biosafety research, in which questions of relevance to co-existence have been studied. Several universities and research institutions were involved with a joint research programme investigating the spread of genetically modifed rapeseed.
The results: Unlike maize pollen, rapeseed pollen is spread mainly by bees. They can carry rapeseed pollen for several kilometres. However, the amount of rapeseed pollen decreases rapidly with increasing distance. In addition, only part of the transported rapeseed pollen actually fertilises conventional rapeseed plants. Above a field size of 15 hectares, the outcrossing from neighbouring GM fields remained below 0.5 percent.
Rapeseeds that fall to the ground during harvest can germinate the following years thereby spreading both conventional and genetically modified rapeseed plants. Thoroughly cultivating the soil reduces the number of these so-called volunteers significantly. Volunteer rapeseed can persist in agricultural fields and even in the wild, but never to a great extent. Further information is available at www.gmo-safety.eu.
Reliable and standardised detection systems are the basis for monitoring compliance with regulations on co-existence, labelling, and traceability. Detection methods are standardised for individual GM plant varieties at the EU level. This was made possible by testing activities in several different countries. The Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL) in Berlin coordinates monitoring activities in Germany and is also involved in the development of detection methods. The European Regulation regarding the Community reference laboratory for genetically modified organisms lists a total of 20 German national reference laboratories assisting in the testing and validation of methods for GMO detection.

Next January, 56-year-old Donny Osmond will celebrate 50 years in show business by releasing what will be his first album in eight years titled "Soundtrack of My Life." Osmond says that each song, including three originals, tells a story from his life, according to a press release.
While the album's full track list hasn't been released, Osmond said that he included Stevie Wonder's 1969 hit, "My Cherie Amour," because it was the first record he ever bought. He also got Wonder to play harmonica on his new version. Another inclusion is "Ben," from the 1972 film of the same name. The song was first offered to Osmond, who was unable to record it because he was on tour, so Michael Jackson ended up recording it.
Other songs are Peter Gabriel's "Don't Give Up," a song he wrote in 1986 and recorded with Kate Bush, that Osmond's wife Debra plays to him whenever he needs encouragement; and Elton John's "Your Song," which was the song Elton John performed at a concert the moment Osmond knew he would marry Debra (who was dating another Osmond brother at the time).
Library of Congress to honor Billy Joel
The Piano Man will receive the Gershwin Prize for Poplar Music from the Library of Congress for "promoting the genre of song as a vehicle of cultural understanding; entertaining and informing audiences; and inspiring new generations."
Since its inception in 2007, the prize has been awarded to Paul Simon (2007), Stevie Wonder (2009), Paul McCartney (2011), Burt Bacharach and Hal David (both in 2012) and Carole King last year.
In a statement, the 65-year-old Joel, who was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1992 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999, called this honor: "A milestone for me."
Joel, who has 33 Top 40 hits, and who has sold more than 150 million records worldwide, will be presented with his award by President Barack Obama in Washington at a ceremony in November.
Is the end near for Blondie?
Blondie's drummer Clem Burke has been with the band through thick and thin (they split between 1982-1997) since its formation in New York in 1975. He tells The Providence newspaper in Vancouver that the upcoming tour by the band fronted by blonde singer-figurehead Debbie Harry may be its last.
The final 18 shows on the band's schedule, most in Britain and Europe, kick off Aug. 18 at the V Festival in Chelmsford, England — 19 shows if you count a final date listed on the band's website taking place in Oct. 5 in Sacramento at an undetermined site.
If Burke's speculation is correct and if the Sacramento show doesn't materialize, Blondie's final concert ever will take place on Oct. 3 at Harrah's Event Center in Valley View, near San Diego.
The group is touring behind its 10th studio album since 1976, "Ghosts of Download," that came out in May.
"As for the rumors of the last tour, we've decided we'll live forever. But Debbie is older than me (she turned 69 on July 1) and has hinted it could be time. Obviously without her, there is no Blondie," said the 58-year-old Burke.
Shania Twain to end Vegas residency
After a two-year run of her show, "Shania: Still the One," Shania Twain, the best-selling female recording artist in country music history, will end her concert residency at the Colosseum at Caesar's Palace on Dec. 13.
In a statement on her website, the 48-year-old five-time Grammy-winning Canadian songstress who retired for a decade until 2012, said: "Through the rediscovery for my love of performing, I knew the stage would feel like home, but it turned out that Las Vegas itself became 'home.'"
Although Twain hasn't divulged her future plans, speculation is rampant that she'll undertake a major tour in 2015.
Reba's new message song
Reba McEntire's first new song in nearly four years, "Pray for Peace," is available for free download on her website, www.reba.com. She wrote the song, which also features Ronnie Dunn formerly of Brooks and Dunn, after seeing all the turmoil in the world, she writes in a statement on the website.
"It's an act of perseverance, prayer, hope, fellowship and mostly love," she said.
Although much of the song is a mantra that simply repeats four words, "Please pray for peace," she said she has "never worked on a song so long as this one."
She added the idea came to her over the last year as she was walking around her spread in Gallatin, Tenn. singing "Pray for peace" over and over. Months later the song's other components fell into place, including a choir and bagpipe.
On the U.K. and U.S. charts
Iconic English metal band Judas Priest has the highest charting record of their 45-year career with its new album, "Redeemer of Souls," reports Billboard. The album is at No. 6, the first time the group has ever been in the American Top 10.
In other American album chart action, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young's "CSNY 1974" that is available in three packages, from 2-CD to a 3-CD/1-DVD box set, debuted at No. 17 and 36 and No. 81 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart.
Neil Diamond's latest best of compilation, "All-Time Greatest Hits" premiered at No. 15, while Richard Marx's "Beautiful Goodbye" made its first appearance at No. 39. It's his highest charting album in 20 years, since "Paid Vacation" peaked at No. 37 in 1994. "Now: Chicago XXXVI," the jazz-pop-rock outfit's first studio album in eight years, made its inaugural appearance at No. 82.
On the British album chart, Morrissey, who has been hospitalized several times over the past year, is at No. 2 with his latest, "World Peace is None of Your Business." Believe it or not, the former Smith's singer had not been able to find a record label for five years before the release of this new album.
At No. 3 is the combo 2-CD, "Blue Smoke/The Very Best of…" that is the best selling album of Dolly Parton's 55 years on the British chart. Judas Priest is in at No. 12; while Weird Al Yankovic's new "Mandatory Fun" debuted in the U.K. at No. 71.

Spectra Logic necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 152 diseños de 39 diseñadores freelance.
Spectra Logic
We have renamed an existing technology company and are creating a new image. Whilst the old company had a great reputation, the direction and management will now change. We want to keep our existing clients, and attract new ones through different marketing strategies. Much of our existing business has come through word of mouth, proving the services we provide are considered highly. Whilst our company is small (now) we want to give the appearance of a well resourced and organized outfit.
We provide Video, Audio and Automation solutions to high end corporate customers. Our clients expect solutions that are innovative and reliable whilst being easy to use. We are not a cut price outfit that delivers services that are low quality, and focus on our product being the best. Our clients are generally high end corporate, educational facilities, hotels etc. who are expecting a premium service.
We are looking for a logo that could be used on business cards and company correspondence such as letters, invoices, purchase orders etc.
The result should look like the organization is professional and innovative, with a definite hi tech edge. The use of 3D objects such as spheres is a advantage (though not mandatory since the design is quite open). The color scheme should be such that it fulfills the criteria above, but also looks good when printed in black and white, as might occur when a client prints their own hard copy of an invoice.
The graphic should be in vector format.
The company name is Spectra Logic Australia. The logo could just contain the initials "SLA" with Spectra Logic Australia underneath, or only use the words "Spectra Logic" making the the word "Australia" not necessary.
After seeing some of the submissions (which are really nice), can I suggest exploring the Pyramid/Prism option in some of the newer ideas. Further ideas on the sphere theme are still welcome, as so far they are the best we have seen...
