On 7 September, 2007, the Director General, Julia Marton-Lefèvre, wrote to all voting Members of IUCN inviting them to suggest names for consideration by Council for the positions of President, Treasurer and Chairs of IUCN's Commissions and to submit nominations for Regional Councillors to the Election Officer.
Members of IUCN's Commissions were also invited to submit their suggestions for the Chair of their Commission. IUCN Members and Commission members actively participated in these two processes providing a wide range of excellent names.
We are delighted to announce that the Council, at its 69th Meeting on 10-12 March 2008, decided to put forward two very distinguished candidates for the position of IUCN President and an impressive list of names for the positions of Treasurer and Chairs of IUCN's Commissions.

I have been on vacation the past 2 weeks so I have not been able to post many posts so now I will catch up on all the posts that I have fallen behind on. One of them was all the Jerome Jordan news that went on the past week.
Last week Jerome Jordan, the 7 foot center who was a second round pick that the Knicks purchased from Milwaukee last offseason, signed a deal to play in Slovenia for the Krka club in the event of a lockout. Last season, Jordan played in Serbia for KK Hermofam. The great thing about Jordans contract is that he has an out clause for next season. It has been reported that the Knicks will buy Jordan out for 500,000 from Krka when the lockout ends. I love this move for Jordan in that he can get playing time that he needs to refine his game and when the Knicks can play games they will have him. It is also a great move for Jordan because as a 2nd round pick he is guaranteed nothing from the Knicks. There is a chance he will not make the team when the NBA resumes. He will for sure be playing ball for money and he can play for the Knicks whenever the season starts. It is great for Jordan and great for the Knicks. I am very interested to see how he contributes once NBA games start being played. If he becomes a stud, or at least an above average defensive center, he will contribute greatly to the Knicks.

DENVER (AP) -- President Barack Obama has issued major disaster declarations for the Royal Gorge and Black Forest wildfires, allowing for federal aid to help deal with their effects.
The declaration triggers unemployment benefits for Royal Gorge Bridge & Park employees and others who are out of work after the wildfire this summer and aren't eligible for regular state jobless benefits. The fire destroyed several structures in the park.
Similar aid is available for areas affected by the Black Forest Fire, which was the most destructive in state history, and to help with crisis counseling there.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency said Friday that the federal government also will contribute funds for emergency work and the repair or replacement of disaster-damaged facilities. It also will provide aid to help prevent future catastrophic wildfires.

Romeo And Juliet - The Royal Ballet
Kde Royal Opera House
Leonid Lavrovsky's Romeo and Juliet is the iconic 20th-century Russian ballet. Lavrovsky was part of the original creative team that developed Prokofiev's score – now one of the most popular modern ballet scores.
Prokofiev was originally commissioned by the Bolshoi, but they rejected his work citing the 'undanceable' rhythms. It wasn't until 1940 that the score was heard in Russia, with the Mariinsky dancing Lavrovsky's choreography. The premiere marked a new era in Soviet ballet, in which Lavrovsky was the pioneer.
Experience this moving ballet at the Royal Opera House in London.

WORKfromHome. Cheap Link Building Options
Cheap Link Building is pretty easy to come by. However, what you are basically sacrificing instead of money, is your time. But there are several ways to go about building links without spending a dime. They key for any of them to be effective is to have worthwhile content on your website or blog. Even if you can get people to visit your site through some SEO tactics, they will not stay, or return, if you are not offering something that is valuable to them.
You can manually go out and ask webmasters to link to your content. Just send them an email introducing your site, and ask them if they would consider linking to it. what often happens is that they will ask for a link, in return, back to their site. This is called reciprocal linking. And while it is "better than nothing", you really get more out of one-way links into your site. Either way, this is free of charge to do.
One of the most popular methods of cheap link building today is participating in forums, in social media sites, and on blogs. Depending on the site you participate in, you can either have a link that goes back to your website within your post or text, or your signature can contain a link. The key to succeeding with this strategy is to offer helpful advice, suggestions or information, and to ask real questions. You won't get many people clicking on your links if you only post the link along with some promotional text. It's also a good idea to fill out your profile as much as possible, using keywords, and to include a photograph. #workfromhome
Article marketing is a third way to get links back to your website or blog. This takes a little more time, and you do have to be able to write a little bit. However, do not think you need to be an expert writer. As long as you can come up with a 500-word article that is clear, concise, and doesn't have spelling or grammatical errors, then you are qualified. You can also hire someone to write for you for pretty low rates, but remember that the quality of the article will probably correspond with what you are willing to pay. If at all possible, start writing the keyword-targeted articles yourself, and as you start to progress, you can consider having someone else do it for you or with you.
Finally, you can submit your article to the various directories and search engines. Start with the free ones if you are on a budget and add a paid one every week or month as your budget allows. When submitting, keep in mind that your descriptions should not be promotional and should not include the name of your website in them, so as to increase your chances of being accepted. As you can see, there are many ways to go about cheap link building

(From Latin: "to, toward, a direction toward, an addition to, near, at"; and changes to: "ac-, af-, ag-, al-, an-, ap-, aq-, ar-, as-, at-" and ad- is also combined with certain words that begin with the letters c, f, g, l, n, p, q, r, s, and t.)
The Latin element ad carries the idea of "in the direction of" and combines with many Latin words and roots to make common English words.
Equivalent to "from top to bottom".
A Roman phrase similar to English, "From soup to nuts", but meaning "From start to finish". This definition is based on the fact that Roman dinners often started with eggs and ended with fruit.
From the beginning to the end of any enterprise, thoroughly or without qualification.
He's dead.
Before sc, sp, and st; ad- is simplified to a-: ascend, aspect, et al.
Before c-, ad- is assimilated to ac-: accelerate, accept, accept, accident, accord, accumulate, accurate, accurate, et al.
Before f, ad- becomes af-: affable, affect, affidavit, affiliate, affinity, affirm, affix, afflatus, afflict, affluence, et al.
Before g, ad- becomes ag-: agglomeration, agglutinate, aggrandize, aggravate, aggravate, aggregate, aggression, aggressive, aggressive, aggressor, et al.
Before l, ad- becomes al-: allege, allegiance, alleviate, alliteration, allocate, allude, allure, allusion, alluvium, et al.
Before n, ad- becomes an-: annex, annihilate, annotate, announce, annul, annulment, et al.
Before p, ad- becomes ap-: apparatus, appeal, appearance, append, appendage, appendix, appetite, applaud, applause, applicable, application, applied, apply, appoint, apportion, apposition, appraise, appreciate, apprehend, apprentice, approach, appropriate, approve, approximate, et al.
Before q, ad- becomes ac-: acquaint, acquaintance, acquiesce, acquiescence, acquire, acquisition, acquital, et al.
Before r, ad- becomes ar-: arrears, arrest, arrive, arrogant, et al.
Before s, ad- becomes as-: ascent, ascertain, ascribe, aspect, , assail, assailant, assault, assemble, assent, assert, assertion, , asset, assiduous, assign, assignment, assist, assistant, associate, assonance, assortment, assuage, assume, assumption, assurance, assure, assuredly et al.
Used to indicate a specific year date.
Before c, f, g, l, n, p, q, r, s, and t; ad- is changed to ac-, af-, ag-, al-, an-, ap-, aq-, ar-, as-, and at-.
In other words, the d of ad usually changes into the same letter as the first letter of the following root or word when it is a consonant: ad-fix becomes affix, and ad-sign becomes assign; therefore, making a double consonant.
Another example includes: attract as with ad-tract (drawn towards); so it has a double t. On the other hand when ad- precedes a vowel, as with adapt, it is simply ad-apt, with one d. For the same reason, there is only one d in adore and adumbrate, because ad- has combined with orare and umbra each of which starts with a vowel.
So, remember: since these Latin words begin with vowels and not consonants, the d of ad does not double as shown in the previous examples.
Ad astra is used as a motto by many organisations and as a proper title for different unrelated things, such as bands, games, and publications, like "Ad Astra", a short story by William Faulkner.
The motto of the state of Kansas, USA and Campbell University, Buies Creek, North Carolina, USA.
This motto suggests that we achieve great things only by encountering and overcoming adversities; it will be rough going, but we will make it.
Augusta refers to holy places and angusta to narrow spaces, therefore sometimes we cannot achieve great results without suffering by squeezing through narrow spaces.
This statement refers to the calends, the first day of the month which was a feature of the Roman calendar, but the Greeks had no calends!
The calends was the day that interest on borrowed money was to be paid, so, for Roman debtors, they were tristes calendae, "the unhappy calends".
For the purpose of winning good will.

All your paving equipment needs to be able adjust to specific application requirements, including the placement of thick or thin lifts. That includes asphalt compactors, which increasingly must handle thinner lifts and the amplitude and frequency settings that go with them.
The need for a single roller to properly compact both thick and thin lifts is the reason Caterpillar developed the Versa-Vibe™ Vibratory System. The system handles a wide range of compaction equipment requirements in both high amplitude/low frequency, or in low amplitude/high frequency settings. Simply put, the system enables a single machine to perform at high speeds on thin lifts and overlays, or at low speeds on thick lifts and coarse mixes.
That versatility has key advantages, including cost savings. In fact, the Versa-Vibe System creates such versatility that one asphalt compactor can accomplish what otherwise would require two very different machines.
Productivity. With asphalt compaction, productivity can be measured as the number of passes required to reach a target density. That number depends on the stiffness of the mix and the weight and drum movement of the vibratory compactor. Mixes that pass beneath the screed at more than 87 percent of theoretical density might only require a "typical" compactor.
However, Versa-Vibe compactors have a significant production advantage over typical rollers when the mix is stiffer. The Versa-Vibe machine will achieve target densities in fewer passes because of its dual vibratory drum/higher amplitude compaction. Job studies verify that tough compaction applications need dual vibrating drums with high amplitude. In certain applications, high frequency and high rolling speeds can increase productivity by as much as 50 percent over traditional compaction methods.
Versatility. Some competitive rollers have lower amplitudes in their single vibratory drum, yet they have no high-frequency option. At best, some have medium frequency (3,000 vibrations per minute) in the vibratory drum and 2,500 vpm in the oscillatory drum. This makes the rollers ineffective on high-production, thin lift projects. With these rollers, compaction sometimes can't be achieved. Worse, the mat can be damaged if it has cooled considerably before the compactor is able to reach it. A lower-frequency roller also can leave impact marks in the surface of thinner mats if traveling faster than the vibratory system will allow in regard to impact spacing.
Simplicity. Cat® Asphalt Compactors offer straightforward vibratory choices that are easy to implement. It starts when the operator selects either "light" or "heavy" amplitude with the handwheel. Next, with the flip of a switch, the operator selects the "low" frequency option of 42 Hz or the "high" frequency option of 63.3 Hz. The operator can switch between high amplitude or high frequency while the machine is operating.
With some other rollers, the vibratory and oscillating drums have different variable frequencies—yet only a single frequency gauge. That means the amplitude changes only as the operator adjusts frequency. The result: The roller never properly matches the job's demands. In addition, operators find this system difficult to understand and therefore seldom make the proper adjustments. (See the sidebar for an explanation of how Versa-Vibe works.)
Maintenance. The Versa-Vibe System is virtually maintenance-free with a 3,000-hour/3 year maintenance interval. Other systems typically feature two belt-driven weight shafts that require maintenance every 1,000 hours.
Rollers with Versa-Vibe feature all the other benefits you've come to expect from Cat products, including the unparalleled customer support and parts availability. Call your Cat Dealer for more information about the benefits of Versa-Vibe, including replacing two application-specific compactors with one fully adjustable machine.
The foundation of the patented Versa-Vibe™ Vibratory System is similar to the standard vibratory system: The rotation of an unbalanced weight shaft provides drum movement, or amplitude. However, on the Versa-Vibe System, a fixed eccentric weight is coupled to a two-position counterweight partially filled with steel shot.
By using the hand wheel on the side of the drum, the operator selects "H" to set the counterweight in a more eccentric position for higher amplitude or "L" to set the counterweight in a more balanced position for lower amplitude.
When the operator selects high frequency, the weight shaft spins in a clockwise direction, the steel shot in the hollow weight are confined adjacent to the eccentric weight, and the lower amplitude is created. When the operator switches to low frequency, the weight turns counterclockwise, the steel shot are moved to counterbalance the eccentric weight, and higher amplitudes are automatically created.
In total, there are four amplitudes and two vibratory frequencies.

Cooking a delicious, low fat and low cost meal can be challenging, but this recipe makes it easy. This "any night of the week" dish is full of good taste and it's quick to prepare for a weeknight meal, any time of year! Nutritious garbanzo beans (chick peas) add taste and texture, while tangy broccoli rabe adds color and crunch.
When purchasing broccoli rabe, make sure the florets and leaves are green, with no yellowing edges, and the stems are firm, not mushy. Clean the broccoli rabe by first trimming off the tough, thick stems. Place the trimmed broccoli rabe into a large bowl and fill it with cold water. Swish the broccoli rabe around to loosen debris and then place it into a large colander. Continue to rinse the broccoli rabe thoroughly, under cold running water, until it is dirt free.
So, if you have not tried broccoli rabe before, here is a simple, delectable and jazzylicious recipe to try. Happy, healthy cooking!
Whole Grain Penne with Broccoli Rabe and Garbanzo Beans
Low Fat and Low Cost Recipe
1/2 pound whole grain or whole wheat penne pasta
1/2 vegetable boullion cube, crumbled
1/2 cup water, plus more as needed
1 bunch broccoli rabe, cleaned, trimmed and chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1/8 to 1/4 crushed red pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon organic tamari
Sea salt
1 tablespoon toasted wheat germ
Pour 1/2 cup water into the bottom of a large skillet. Add the crumbled bouillon cube and bring to a simmer. Stir the bouillon cube into the simmering water until it is dissolved. Add the broccoli rabe, garlic, garbanzo beans and crushed pepper to the skillet. Cover and simmer for 6 to 7 minutes, adding a bit more water, as needed, if the pan becomes dry. Add the tamari. Cover and simmer a few more minutes, or until the broccoli rabe is tender, but still firm. Do not overcook!
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in the penne. Decrease the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the penne is tender, but firm. Drain the pasta well.
For each serving: Place one to two cups of the cooked penne into a pasta bowl. Sprinkle with one teaspoon of wheat germ. Top with a generous portion of the broccoli rabe mixture, making sure to include some of the broth, adding flavor to the penne. Season the pasta with sea salt and freshly ground pepper, if desired.

Whether you need your Hamilton Beach 10 speed blender to crush ice, make single-serving beverages, make a cooler-full of cold drinks, or just sit in your kitchen and blend away, there's one that should be right for you.
If this Hamilton Beach 10 speed blender comes with any disadvantage, it is that the name is not one many Americans are familiar with – yet. This makes many consumers likely to pass the blender in the store, because it is not something they've ever heard of before.
Some customers also think that these blenders offer too many choices, and wish there was one Hamilton Beach blender that did it all. They desire the company to combine wave action with the ability to blend individually, in a cooler, and in a regular glass blending jar, so you don't have to purchase more than one blender to get all these capabilities.
The Hamilton Beach 10 speed blender line is sure to have something that is right for you. Since their reliability and durability is consistently good, there's nothing that should stop you from choosing the blender from this lineup that will best meet all your blending needs.

In the latest look at stocks ordered by largest market capitalization, Russell 3000 component Level 3 Communications, Inc. (LVLT) was identified as having a larger market cap than the smaller end of the S&P 500, for example CenterPoint Energy, Inc (CNP), according to The Online Investor.Market capitalization is an important data point for investors to keep an eye on, for various reasons. The most basic reason is that it gives a true comparison of the value attributed by the stock market to a given company's stock. Many beginning investors look at one stock trading at $10 and another trading at $20 and mistakenly think the latter company is worth twice as much — that of course is a completely meaningless comparison without knowing how many shares of each company exist. But comparing market capitalization (factoring in those share counts) creates a true "apples-to-apples" comparison of the value of two stocks. In the case of Level 3 Communications, Inc. ( LVLT), the market cap is now $10.59B, versus CenterPoint Energy, Inc ( CNP) at $10.58B.

I saw The Town last week. Not a big fan, and in thinking about the problems with the movie I thought they described a lot of the more frustrating experiences I've had with film and television drama in recent years. I write about this in an essay appearing at The Millions today.
But instead of doing something meaningful with this setup, The Town titillates and teases, and then wanders off. It never acts on the tension it's created and as a viewer you're left feeling like you've been manipulated by a cheap trick with no payoff. This is unpleasant in its own right and it indicates the con-artist spirit in which The Town was produced. The filmmakers seem to have approached the movie by asking themselves, "how can we elicit a response from the audience" as opposed to the more appropriate question, "how can we tell a good story."

Michael Pollan's seventh book will not substantially surprise readers of the first six. Mr. Pollan has often said that we lose touch with the basic facts of food production at our own peril, and that shared meals hold families and communities together. He has advocated fresh ingredients and sounded warning bells about why processed foods are barely worth digesting. And he is a major ingredient in his books' blend of gastronomy, science and investigation, linking his own experiences to the lessons he imparts.
But Mr. Pollan winds up broadly playing celebrity chef in "Cooked," his four-quadrant book about fire (barbecue), water (stewing and braising), air (baking bread) and earth (fermentation). He was prompted to do this, he says, partly by what he calls the Cooking Paradox. There we sit on our sofas, watching cooking shows on television rather than preparing meals of our own. "I don't need to point out that the food you watch being cooked on television is not food you get to eat," Mr. Pollan says.
"Cooked" underscores that it has become too easy to unwrap, microwave, order in or otherwise dodge cooking chores — to the point where at-home food preparation skills are simply being lost. It is not encouraging to hear Harry Balzer, a food industry market researcher, tell Mr. Pollan that much of what people now call "cooking" would have grandmothers spinning in their graves.
Mr. Balzer has a cynical suggestion for losing weight, based on his perception of consumer laziness: eat whatever you want, as long as you've cooked it yourself. In that spirit, Mr. Pollan goes into cook-it-yourself mode. But he has chosen modes of cooking so demanding that he needs help. So each section has Mr. Pollan learning at the feet (or dough-kneading hands) of a famous practitioner. Then again, no matter how renowned the teachers he chooses, Mr. Pollan is the star of this four-stage cooking show.
It's unfortunate to begin "Cooked" with a section about fire, since the world of barbecue is such a world of showboating. In this realm, "O.K., but that's not barbecue," is a serious insult, and Ed Mitchell, who "just might be the first pit master to have handlers," refers to his own biography as "the Ed Mitchell story." Mr. Mitchell drops the word "authentic" so often that Mr. Pollan begins to fear "that I'd opened the spigot on a hydrant of barbecue blarney." Nevertheless, he ventures to Wilson, N.C., to learn how to cook a whole hog over a fire.
Not all the blarney is Mr. Mitchell's. The normally common-sensical Mr. Pollan has too much to say about the priestly overtones of this cooking ritual; about the role of meat in mythology and ancient literature ("Achilles served the meat," Homer apparently wrote); about "the whole vexed issue of sauce"; and the apparently indescribable wonders of the end result. "So this was barbecue" and "there was so much going on in this sandwich" are among his weaker comments.
"Cooked" moves on to a seemingly more commonplace subject: cooking in pots. It's a nuanced topic, and it's also the part of the book most apt to teach the reader anything useful. Though Mr. Pollan does not intend "Cooked" as a how-to, he parses the ways diced onions can become a French mirepoix (in butter, with carrots and celery); an Italian sofrito (in olive oil, perhaps with garlic or parsley); or a Spanish sofrito (with tomatoes instead of celery).
Mr. Pollan also addresses larger topics, like the essence of the specific savory taste known as "umami," the chemistry of why salt makes food absorb other flavors, and the joy of uni-tasking. ("When stirring the pot, just stir the pot.") But whenever food starts making Mr. Pollan feel "deep Proustian echoes" coming on, it's time to turn the page.
The book's baking chapter is its most abstruse, because the endless variables in bread making have such nerd appeal. (Mr. Pollan quotes blog posts that he contends sound less like cooking than like "trying to master a new software platform.") He spends time with Chad Robertson, a coolly charismatic surfer-baker. Mr. Robertson has written in his own book about why his signature bread is a loaf with an old soul.
There is discussion here of gluten, retronasal olfaction (the reason bread smells good even after it is ingested) and the flour wars between brown and white. And then, finally, it's time for natto, kvass, smreka, ogi and a lot of other words that belong in crossword puzzles, as Mr. Pollan explores the varieties of fermentation.
It's a topic explored in "The Art of Fermentation" by Sandor Ellix Katz, who appears prominently here as well (Mr. Pollan wrote the foreword for that book). Mr. Pollan mentions "the erotics of disgust" to the nun who is teaching him cheese making; discusses the health benefits of gut-dwelling microbes that may prevent inflammation; and manages to home-brew a beer that smells like a Band-Aid.
For all the exoticism of this book's adventures, Mr. Pollan does not stray far from familiar ground. Simple but true: food becomes "literally more wonderful (and wonderfully more literal)" when we remember that who we are and what we eat are parts of the same world.

Cricketers world over showered praise on India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni for smashing a double-ton on day three of the first Test against Australia here Sunday.
Dhoni scored an unbeaten 206 to take India to 515/8, to give the hosts a lead of 135 runs with two days left in the match. During his innings, which included 22 boundaries and five massive sixes, he scored at a strike rate of 84.77.
Former England captain Michael Vaughn tweeted: "The coolest man in world cricket MS Dhoni delivers when it most matters... Incredible innings against the Aussies..."
In the process, Dhoni also crossed the 4000-run mark in Test cricket. He also has the highest individual score by an Indian wicketkeeper-batsman when he surpassed Budhi Kunderan`s 192.
Legendary spinner Shane Warne was also impressed by Dhoni`s knock.
"WOW, M S Dhoni is going off here in Chennai, amazing batting," tweeted Warne, who is part of the commentary team here.
Warne`s contemporary Glenn McGrath, who is heading the MRF Pace Foundation here, posted: "Great innings by MS Dhoni 206*. India in a strong position against the Aussies."
Former West Indies batsman Darren Ganga said: "Magnificent accomplishment from Dhoni. Proven the critics wrong. Clearly one of India`s finest captains and wicket keeper-batsmen. Brilliant counter attack innings by one of India`s finest captains and wicket keeper-batsmen."
Praise also came from Dhoni`s teammates.
"What an innings @msdhoni truly inspirational stuff. One of the best innings i have seen," tweeted Ajinkya Rahane.

My heartfelt condolences go out to the family and friends of Aaron Swartz, who took his own life Friday at age 26.
We'll never know whether the restless Internet wizard and advocate for Internet openness would have beaten the federal rap against him. But the closer you look at the case, the more he looks like a guy who was ahead of his time and couldn't wait for Congress to catch up.
He was charged under the 1986 Computer Fraud and Abuse Act with downloading millions of academic journal articles without authorization. But compared to the banks and national security agencies that the law was intended to protect, Swartz's offense sounds like small potatoes.
As David Segal, executive director of the Demand Progress organization that Swartz founded, put it, his indictment was "like trying to put someone in jail for allegedly checking too many books out of the library."
Granted, we're talking about a lot of "books." Swartz was charged with breaking into a computer wiring closet at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, tapping into the school's computer network and downloading millions of journal articles from JSTOR (short for "journal storage"), a nonprofit service that charges schools to access its archives of scholarly articles.
Swartz, an Internet prodigy at 13, also was a leader in a decade-old "open access" movement that aims, among other goals, to make scholarly articles free to the public. He also is credited with co-founding the popular Reddit website and helping to defeat the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), a proposed copyright protection law that many -- including me -- thought was too restrictive.
Swartz's lawyer and other allies insist he did nothing wrong. MIT ran an open computer network and JSTOR said in a statement that it settled civil claims with Swartz a month before his prosecution began in 2011. Both JSTOR and MIT expressed condolences on their websites and MIT's president L. Rafael Reif said the university has begun an analysis of their involvement with the federal case against Swartz.
JSTOR also has announced that it would open its archives of more than 1,200 journals to free reading by the public on a limited basis.
Yet, efforts by Swartz's lawyers failed to have his charges, which could have brought as much as 30 years in prison, dropped. He hanged himself in his Brooklyn, N.Y., apartment, police said.
I can't say that I approve of Swartz's hacking methods. Like other restless young geniuses on the cutting edge of the Internet political culture, he apparently could not wait for the usual legislative processes to open up more public access to scholarly documents. Yet history may well remember his tragic death for bringing needed attention to a debate that is only beginning about concepts like "freedom" and "liberty" on the Web.
"Freedom" implies no boundaries. "Liberty" suggests that there are rules. The Internet freedom movement wants to get rid of rules and they have a point -- up to a point. An Internet law written back in the mid-1980s, when a megabyte still sounded like a lot of memory, begs for review and updating.
Still, rules are written for a reason. I say this as a newspaper journalist who has watched my industry, as well as the CD industry, bookstores and many others, thoroughly shaken up by the mixed blessings of the Internet age.
Alas, in this debate I find myself on the opposite side of my son, who is a few years younger than Swartz, and his friends. They're so accustomed to the bounty of free stuff on the Web that they sound downright offended that any person would want to charge good money for his or her creations.
For them, Swartz and his mentor, Lawrence Lessig, a Harvard law professor and leading proponent of "free culture," are heroes. Their movement aims to loosen up the allegedly stodgy "permission culture" that includes such quaint old-fashioned concepts as copyright law and other intellectual property rights.
I favor the push for more Internet freedom on the whole, until it bumps up against the right of creative people to protect their creations. That's an emerging debate of our time -- and one more important innovation for which Swartz will be remembered.

It was pretty interesting to see how each character handled the tragedy. I think that the fact that the older family members still have the memories of the death of Mrs. Tsukishima it must have been a bigger blow to lose Wakaba. Momiji I would assume would have been to young to remember her mother's passing.
I think I mentioned many posts back (recap episode) that when Momiji passed Wakaba in age (and swimming accomplishments), it was an interesting situation. It was like she was trying to follow in Wakaba's footsteps. Maybe in an effort to get closer to her sister? A bit like Touch in a way.
Oh, and it's starting to feel odd not having a new Cross Game episode to watch this week.

I can't believe it's finally over. So much has happened throughout the year that this has been airing, for good or bad. Yet Cross Game has always been there to excite me, worry me, make me well up with emotions whenever "Wakaba moments" began, or be riddled with goosebumps when Ko ups the ante at the mound. My viewing times were varied; watching it as soon as an episode was available, to lying down in my bed on a cold night and slamming through 10 episodes at a time. Very fond memories, all of them.
I'm just glad to have been able to watch through it and to witness Adachi's characters come alive through all their highs and lows. Better yet, I am glad that Cross Game will always be around for me to go through again and enjoy it all with a smile on my face.

I've gotta say my favorite character was probably Akaishi. I like all of the characters honestly (you were right, they were all very round ), but Akaishi stood out to me in many ways.
Can somebody help me understand this portion of the story? I didn't get the significance of Kou lying... I mean in general it just went straight over my head in character development. I know he was a good lier, but I don't know what this says about who he is/his interaction with the other characters.
Basically, I think it has to be more significant than what I perceived it to be, can anybody help me out?

I'm reminiscing.
IMO, Kou's lying is a defensive mechanism but in this case, in relation to Aoba, it's for her benefit. Up until this point, it's been unspoken that Kou likes Aoba and vice-versa. Even when Kou confesses to Aoba, he prefaces it with the "is a lie OK?" comment. My belief is that he does this to protect Aoba's feelings. If he was unable to win the game or throw a 160kmph pitch Aoba has an excuse to blame him instead of herself (i.e., she didn't train him properly, or her advice about his pitching motion was incorrect, etc.). This also allows Aoba to brush off his confession if she feels unable to reciprocate without feelings of guilt (i.e., his confession was a bad joke and not to be taken seriously so she should ignore it).
Kou's lying also plays a big role in Akaishi's on-field performance. He's able to convince Akaishi that Akane's hospital stay is no big deal so he's not distracted away from the game. His ability to deceive, or at least obscure the truth, extends to Aoba in this case also. He's able to at least soften the blow of the news about Akane to Aoba and get her to participate in the deception to Akaishi.
Not to mention the earlier covering up that he was training as a pitcher for the farm team. Poor Senda.

My favourite line in ep.2 is Kou saying: "where's that super kind girl that was here just a moment ago?!"
Leaving spoiler tags for people who wants to read the manga later.
Spoiler for that scene in the manga:
On a side note, I'll also support Cross Game in some ways. I'm not usually a manga reader but I want to make an exception here, the manga is ongoing in Italy and 12 volumes out of 17 have been released so far; since usually a volume comes out every two months it should finish in a year or so. Obviously I plan to buy the whole series sooner or later, my idea is to get all the volumes just before or meanwhile the last one goes on sale.

Enjoyed my easter holiday watching this series all over again. Oh, God, I'm gonna miss this one. Thankfully, the manga is coming out and I'll be able to hold on to some sort of phisical evidence of it - because my level of japanese still hardly justifies purchasing the original DVD's or Blu-Rays...
The first and the last episodes still get to me, every single time.

Maybe when he says "Is a lie okay?" is when he actually says the truth he's normally too embarrassed to say?

Here was my take on the series written up about a month ago. I'm just really glad Aoba initiated the confession.
I think I have a softer impression on Aoba now that I've rewatched the show. She's a very complex character and the series is full of subtlety.

So they intend to close BH to save £120,000 a year.
Support the Glass Message Board by finding glass through glass-seek.com
The proposed saving for the Council, if the Museum is closed with effect from 1 April 2010, is estimated at £120,000 annually. There has been no evidence to show how that figure is reached. The closure proposals do not originate from Councillors, they originate from Council officials who have offered no evidence of how much it would cost the Council to establish Museum facilities to accommodate the Broadfield House operation on the Red House Cone site.The Council of the Friends of Broadfield House Glass Museum meet on Monday evening, 19 January, when the situation and immediate plans will be formulated.If you wish to add your voice further, may I invite you to take up membership of the Friends.
If you wish to make further representations at Councillor level you may wish to lobby Cllr. Karen Shakespeare the cabinet member for environment and culture who was involved in the 7 January cabinet meeting which endorsed the budget proposals which would result in the closure of BHGM. Her contact details are on the Dudley MBC web site.
It has come to my attention that there is a proposal to close down Broadfield House. This is very disturbing news, although I am unaware to the fate of the Glass Museum. Having spent time researching the archives at Himley Hall for my book, Chance Expressions, and knowing the excellent facilities at Broadfield House, the loss of this resource would be a tragedy. However, is the Glass museum itself to close? I heard a rumour that it could be re-sited at the Red House Glass Cone, which raises more questions: "where" in the Cone would this be possible?! Also, the Cone is leased from the Waterford Wedgwood group, which itself is in difficulties. Lastly, it is worth bearing in mind that Broadfield House Glass Museum is the NATIONAL Glass Museum, and is a resource to benefit the entire United Kingdom (and the international community), and not just limited to Stourbridge glass. As such I feel the proposal must be rejected.
Dear Sir/Madam, The point of my comments was to raise awareness among those responsible for wishing to 'close' Broadfield House, and that such action could cause the loss of an extremely valuable resource! There was little point, therefore, in passing my comments onto Broadfield House, when I have already communicated with Roger Dodsworth. What is disconcerting is the thought that this is being considered in the first place, and the lack of information regarding the inevitable problems that this closure raises - what is happening to the Glass Museum: the collections, the archives, etc? These highly pertinent questions need answering before a move is even considered. If the Red House Glass Cone is being considered as a possible location, then this has serious flaws: lack of space, the land is leased from a company which is going into administration - in all likelihood the adminstrators will choose to sell this asset. So what exactly is the plan of action? I would be grateful if my comments could be forwarded to whichever committee is responsible for even considering this dubious action in the first place. With thanks.
Mr D Encill21 January 2009Dear Mr EncillBroadfield House Glass MuseumFurther to your e-mail of 15 January 2009 to the Council regarding the above.The background to the issue relates to both the Council's aspiration to amalgamate its Glass Heritage facilities on one site (Red House Cone) and a challenging financial climate.As the Assistant Director responsible for Culture and Leisure Services I am well aware of the place of glass in the heritage of the Borough and would not wish to do anything that was detrimental to that.To this end I and my officers have been tasked to undertake feasibility work in terms of how we could bring the collections and services that are currently split over 2 sites, under the one roof.I am well aware as to the size of this challenge, that it may cost initially to bring this about and that the time frame that has been set for achieving this may be difficult to meet but we have been tasked to report back in the near future to Elected Members and appropriate Committees.The Council has a 99 year lease on its part of the Red House Cone site so we have security there and the possibility of acquiring additional land and buildings will be explored as part of this process.I know from meetings with the Friends of Broadfield House that there is much concern over this issue and have assured them that they will be involved in and advised of developments in this process throughout.Yours sincerely Duncan LowndesAssistant Director Culture and Leisure
Thanks very much for that. I have always meant to join the friends and kept putting it to the back of my mind - I shall activate that in the morning As for the placatory letter you received - were you?
Dear Sandra, Many thanks for the prompt response. I am slightly more assured by Mr Lowndes comments, although I also understand the saving per annum is a mere £120k (or £140k depending on who one listens to), which is small beer compared with other ways costs could be saved. I did also hear that if such a proposal were implemented, Kari Moodie and John Smith would not be keeping their current posts: again, rather disturbing news if true. Is it also true that the museum has realised an increase in visitor numbers for the last year, from 11,000 to 15,000? Lastly, and not wishing to take up your valuable time, 2010 is the 400th anniversary of glassmaking in Stourbridge. Is it not rather poignant that such a move/closure is being proposed to coincide with the epic milestone?

Quinoa Chicken Salad
Ahh, yes. Finally a recipe. Though I must admit it's incredibly simple, it's more of a throw everything in bowl and eat it up kind of deal but a recipe nonetheless. It started with a craving for chicken salad that I had no choice but to quench and so, I made chicken salad and I hope you find it as deliciously simple as I did.
1 chicken breast, grilled or pan cooked and chilled
1/4 cup cooked quinoa, chilled
4 basil leaves
1 celery stalk
1 tsp olive oil
1 tbl mayonaise
salt + pepper
1. Chop or shred chicken with a fork, set aside in a bowl
2. Stack basil leaves and roll up, then thinly slice (chiffonade
3. Slice celery lengthwise into thirds and chop into small pieces
4. Add celery, basil, olive oil, quinoa, and mayonaise to the boil and mix together
5. Taste and add salt + pepper until desired flavor is achieved
6. Eat as is or in a sandwich
And that's it. It was quick and totally did the trick. I'm also thinking this simple salad would work perfectly with all that leftover turkey you know you're going to have at the end of this week.

Pimpernel for Oaks glory
The Saeed & Mohammed Al Naboodah Group, one of Meydan's pillar partners, sponsor Thursday evening`s Dubai World Cup Carnival meeting where the three-year-old classic generation take centre stage with both the UAE Oaks and Meydan Classic on the six-race card.
The official feature is the Group 3 UAE Oaks, restricted to three-year-old fillies over 1900m on the all-weather track, for which six have been declared. Godolphin`s Mahmoud Al Zarooni –trained Pimpernel looks certain to be Pick 6 favourite on her second local start having chased home stable companion Gamilati in the UAE 1000 Guineas.
Previously a Listed winner in the UK, she was well beaten by Gamilati in the first fillies` classic but did have four of Thursday`s five rivals behind her on that occasion.
UAE debutante Falls Of Lora is the only one of the sextet who did not run in the UAE 1000 Guineas. She is also trained by Al Zarooni who said: "We have decided to save Gamilati for England and their 1000 Guineas so Pimpernel will be ridden by Frankie Dettori and she really pleased us when chasing home Gamilati. It showed she handled the [all-weather] and she would have been closer with a clear run. She has been working well as has Falls Of Lora who was a nice filly in England as well but will probably need the run and has yet to prove herself on the surface."
The Meydan Classic, a 1600m Listed contest on turf, looks a lot more competitive with 12 declared including Factory Time, winner of the 1400m trial. The colt, prepared by last season's champion trainer Ali Rashid Al Raihe, was chased home on that occasion by Kenny Powers and Fiscal who are both seeking their first career wins.
The trio face stiff opposition though from Singapore`s Cash Luck, Spain`s Matusalen and Entifaadha who is trained in the UK by William Haggas and owned by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Richard Hills who, it was announced this week, will retire at the end of the 2012 Dubai World Cup Carnival takes the ride.
The 1000m Al Naboodah Construction Group sprint on turf appears absolutely wide open with UK-based trainer Robert Cowell well represented with course and distance winners Monsieur Joe, who won a similar race three weeks ago and Prohibit, a winner at Meydan last year before subsequently winning the Group 1 King`s Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot. This will be his first start since October and he has to concede weight to all his rivals.
Al Raihe also appears to have a strong hand with both Green Beret and Happy Dubai among the 13 declarations. The latter, who twice beat Monsieur Joe over course and distance last year but was behind him three weeks ago, bounced back to winning ways in a 1200m all-weather handicap last week. He will again be ridden by Silvestre De Sousa, recently announced as Godolphin`s second jockey.
Stable jockey Royston Ffrench partners Green Beret in a race Irish-trained pair Invincible Ash and Nocturnal Affair are just two others to consider.

2. PETA doesn't appreciate The Barack: "We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals. We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals."
3. There's a song called "Never Swat a Fly." I'm familiar with the old Jim Kweskin version ("Don't do that, Delores/You should never swat a fly"), but here's the 1930 Abe Lyman version. Lyrics:
Never swat a fly, he may love another fly
He may sit with her and sigh the way I do with you
Never harm a flea, he may have a favorite she
That he bounces on his knee the way I do with you
Never stop a moth when he is gliding through the air
He may have a date in someone's flannel underwear
Ah! Ah! Be careful!
Never spray a nit with a great big can of Blitz
He may think some nit has it the way I do with you

A Book for My Brother
This Christmas eve, I found myself in clearing-out mode, going through my closet and letting go of the extraneous. In retrospect, this seems a fitting task for the night before Christmas: Clearing out the unnecessary to make space for the new. I wasn't consciously thinking about it that way, but that's what I was doing.
In the course of my cleaning, I found a small book I'd made when I was six years old, under the tutelage of my first grade teacher, Mrs. Sanosi. I remember her with fondness because she encouraged me in my dreams of writing and authorship. Even at six years old, I knew that I wanted to write.
Fast forward to twenty-one years later, and I've written and published two digital books, and completed two additional manuscripts, one of prose, one of poetry. Most significantly, I am living my childhood dream, working as a full-time, freelance writer as of this November. And this dream began all those years ago, with a little book about Willie. This first book is called "My Brother," and it is fully illustrated with the best crayon drawings I could manage at the time. The text of the book is as follows:
"My brother's name is Willie. We do things together like jump on the bed and wake up at 6 o'clock and wake mom and dad up.
My brother does things alone like read books and play dinosaurs. He loves to play outside. He likes to be alone most of the time. He hates to do his speech lesson with my mom and dad. He hates to be yelled at. I love to play with him sometimes.
My parents spend most of their time teaching him. I go to my freinds' [sic] house while this is going on. He is used to being alone. He loves to line things up outside.
His favorite book is "The Jungle Book." His birthday is May 10th. He is 5 years old. He has brown hair and blue eyes. He loves to play his Talking Animal keyboard. His favorite room is his room. He also loves his toy stuffed animals.
I love my brother so much I could run through the wall! My brother is one of the best people I know. My next-door-neighbors have a club house. My brother loves it. My mom and dad love my brother just as much as I do."
On the final pages, there are a few lines that read, in various states of scrawl, "Willie. Willie. Willie" in orange crayon. Beneath them, my mom wrote, "Willie's Printing."
Reading this book now, these thoughts arise: first, I admire how my childhood self had a distinctive ability to state the facts (as she perceived them) bluntly, in a free-associative way. Second, I can't help but think: My parents are my heroes. (We woke them at 6 am? For fun?) In light of all I know now, I wish I could re-write the final sentence to read: "My parents love my brother and me more than I will ever know."
Finally, I notice that I wrote about my brother's likes and dislikes, his preferences and personality, without once referring to autism. Though I'm fairly certain I knew the term, I'm glad that I wrote about Willie as a person, not a diagnosis.
Reading this book reminds me of what has always been true: That I have always wanted to know my brother, and that I've struggled with sibling rivalry since day one (who hasn't?). Yet despite my struggles, at the end of the book, what rings out is love.
The final page of the book is written in Mrs. Sanosi's hand. It says, "This book is dedicated to my family, especially my brother, my friends, and my teacher, because I love them." And this Christmas eve, with candles in the window and tears in my eyes. I can't say it better than that.

CHARLOTTE � After telling the media last week he felt he�d learned a lot over the course of his first season as head coach, Mike Dunlap found out Tuesday that it wasn�t enough to keep his job as Charlotte Bobcats head coach.
And now Bobcats owner Michael Jordan will be looking for his fifth head coach since he became the franchise�s top basketball official in June 2006 and later its majority owner in March 2010.
Dunlap was let go after the Bobcats tripled their win total from a league-worst 7-59 record in the 2011-12 season to a 21-61 record for a season that ended last Wednesday.
Charlotte won its last three games (all at home) to avoid finishing with the worst record in the NBA.
Rod Higgins, the Bobcats president of basketball operations, told The Associated Press he and general manager Rich Cho met with players and Dunlap before approaching Jordan about making a change.
But Higgins said player input was only �a part of the process (and) not the only indicator.�
Throughout the season, there appeared to be a disconnect with Dunlap and some veteran players, so much so that veterans like Brendan Haywood, Ben Gordon and Tyrus Thomas appeared to spend many games and/or weeks and months in the proverbial �doghouse.�
However, only once did the players� dissatisfaction appear to boil over.
In February, during a practice session, Gordon reportedly kept bouncing a basketball while Dunlap was giving instruction.
Cho told The Associated Press incidents like that made it clear a change was in order.
�I just don�t think he was a great fit,� Cho said. �Probably best that we go in a different direction.�
Dunlap, who was unavailable for comment, was an assistant coach at St. John�s for two years before being hired by the Bobcats last June.
Dunlap was hired after the Bobcats interviewed Charlotte assistant Stephen Silas, Orlando Magic assistant Patrick Ewing, Los Angeles Lakers assistant Quin Snyder, Indiana Pacers assistant Brian Shaw, Memphis Grizzlies assistant Dave Joerger, Cleveland Cavaliers assistant Nate Tibbetts, Golden State Warriors assistant Mike Malone and former NBA head coaches Nate McMillan and Jerry Sloan.
Previously, Jordan has hired four head coaches and had another, the franchise�s first head coach (Bernie Bickerstaff) resign to take a front office position with the Bobcats; Bickerstaff is now a Lakers assistant.
Sam Vincent was hired before the 2007-08 season and fired after one year. Larry Brown was hired before the 2008-09 season before being fired early in the 2010-11 season. Paul Silas was reassigned within the organization last spring after 1 1-2 seasons as head coach. And Dunlap was fired after one season.
Now Charlotte finds itself seeking another new coach.
�In the NBA, you�re not surprised by a lot because so many different things happen: It�s the business,� Higgins said.
With the Bobcats getting another top pick � the NBA draft lottery on May 21 will determine exactly which pick they get � and the potential for the franchise to be up to $21 million under the salary cap, Higgins and Cho are confident in finding a replacement.
�Since the release, our cell phones have been blowing up,� Higgins said. �It lets you know that there is interest in this job, a high level of interest.�
Said Cho: �We want to find the best fit.�

LETTER- Condon manipulated facts
In her August 12 essay [ESSAY: "Playing God: Why it's still a fools' game"], Marlene Condon has the done the community a great service by instilling awareness of living responsibly with nature. However, she has imposed a personal bias on an otherwise thoughtful discussion.
Condon quoted a 2005 report in the journal Human Reproduction that claimed that artificially conceived children are 30-40 percent more likely than naturally conceived fetuses to be born with birth defects, and in an Australian study published in the New England Journal of Medicine she found that babies conceived through assisted conception were more than twice as likely as naturally conceived infants to be diagnosed with multiple birth defects.
What she did not say is that information in both these articles is controversial. Most publications examining the prevalence of birth defects in such infants have serious methodological limitations, and most researchers have concluded that there is no increased risk.
In the July 2004 edition of Pediatrics, Nancy S. Green MD wrote, "Birth defect risk estimates among women receiving [assisted reproduction] are readily confounded by overlapping etiologies, further complicating assignment of risk to specific factors. Epidemiologic rate estimates for birth defects are problematic, with incomplete data. These limitations may result in overestimates of associated risks."
Condon goes on to say, "How can we not worry about unintended consequences, especially if we're unleashing novel forms of organisms (viruses and bacteria) that— precisely because they have not evolved on this planet— do not have natural, or even manmade, controls out there?"
Had she focused and expanded these considerations, her essay would have been valuable in raising public awareness of these dangers and what individuals might do to counter them. But assisted reproduction is a personal choice with the possibility of problems best discussed with a physician, and not a topic for an essay on unleashing novel forms of organisms on this planet.

SNMP can be a hidden gem that seems to be overlooked sometimes during penetration testing. It is really cool the information you can obtain just using snmpwalk from the command line however the information can be lengthy and unless you are an SNMP OID library or feel like googling a bunch of different stuff it really helps to have tools such as snmpcheck available. Below we describe what snmpcheck, which is written in Perl, will accomplish for you and we also provide a couple of examples against Ubuntu and a Cisco router.

100% Organic Devil's Claw Root (Harpagophytum procumbens) Cut & Sifted 4oz.
Botanical Name: Harpagophytum procumbens
Common Names: Grapple plant, wood spider
Devil's claw root, or Harpagophytum procumbens, originates in South Africa. Commonly known as Grapple plant or wood spider, these herbs are members of the same plant family as sesame. The name Devil's claw root comes from the fact that the fruit of these herbs have an unusual, hooked or horned shape. There are other herbs known commonly as Devil's club, but they are not the same herbs.
Harpagophytum procumbens natural herbs are a good source of beta sitosterol and harpagoside. These bulk wholesale herbs have been used historically for a variety of complaints. However, if you have ulcers, including those of the gastric and duodenal varieties, then you will want to avoid using this herb.
This herb comes in both cut and sifted as well as powder forms. The cut and sifted form is a uniform size that is a bit larger than the finest form, which is powder. Our natural herbs pass strict testing from the supplier all the way through production at our facilities, in order to ensure the highest quality product for you.
Warning: Use with caution in persons with gastric or duodenal ulcers.
