Principal Investigator(s):
Dispersal is a key process in maintaining healthy and viable animal populations. Maintaining movement and connectivity across landscapes can help to reduce inbreeding, rescue small populations from extinction, and/or colonize new habitat. But with limited funding and constant threats of habitat loss, how do we choose which habitats to protect so that landscapes will stay well-connected for wild animal species? Brad McRae has been working on these questions with some novel twists: he's applying ideas from electrical engineering to the study of connectivity in landscapes.
So what do animals and electrons have in common? Plenty, according to the mathematics behind electronic circuits on the one hand and random walk theory on the other. Commonalities between the theories have been exploited in other disciplines, like the study of neural and social networks, but their use in ecology and evolution is new. Because of these connections, powerful computing tools developed in engineering can be used to analyze connectivity in large and complex landscapes. For example, by simultaneously taking into account multiple dispersal pathways, circuit theory can be used to explain patterns of gene flow and genetic differentiation among animal populations, and to predict how these patterns might change under future land use or climate change scenarios. Or, if current flows across a model landscape, the density of flow in different areas can be used to predict which portions of the landscape are most used by dispersing animals, thus identifying critical connective habitats. The goals are to understand how landscape heterogeneity structures populations, and to efficiently prioritize habitats for conservation so that we can maintain well-connected landscapes into the future.

Can sleeping with your pet make you sick?
Sleeping with your pet can make you sick.
Letting your dog or cat lick you can do the same thing, says a team of veterinarians at the University of California-Davis school of veterinary medicine.
But before you banish Fido or Fluffy to the laundry room at night, be aware that there are "howevers" involved in the report, which is being published in the February issue of the public health journal Emerging Infectious Diseases.
More on that later.
But first consider the report, which was the subject of a story in a recent edition of HealthDay News.
It says that seemingly healthy pets can carry parasites, bacteria or viruses that cause mild to life-threatening illness in people.

Is Muesli Really A Healthy Breakfast Option?
You may have heard that muesli is a great healthy breakfast, but do you know what it is and whether it's actually good for you? When it was first developed, muesli was typically a dry cereal made from toasted whole oats, nuts, fruit and wheat flakes. Now, you can find many versions, including gluten-free muesli, fresh muesli (soaked overnight in water or fruit juice to soften), toasted or untoasted muesli, and its close cousin: granola. Depending on how the muesli is made, it's often more natural and contains less calories and sugar than granola, which usually has more added syrup to aid in the toasting.
What are the nutritional benefits of muesli?
- Muesli typically has less sugar and calories than most breakfast cereals on supermarket shelves.
- It's high in fiber and whole grains, which regulate the digestive system, are filling and can aid in weight control.
- Muesli is a potent source of antioxidants.
- The addition of nuts provides a great source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids (especially walnuts).
- Milk or dairy alternatives that usually accompany muesli is a source of dairy and protein.
What makes muesli unhealthy?
Many people are shocked to discover that their "healthy" go-to breakfast is actually laden with extra sugar, unnecessary calories, carbs and fat – and rightly so when the packaging and slogans scream promises of greater health.
What should people be looking for in muesli for it to be considered healthy?
- Unroasted
- Watch the serving size (should only be 1/3- 1/2 cup max)
- Aim for varieties containing under 20g of carbohydrates per serving
- <3g of saturated fat per 100g
- Low glycemic index
- Limited dry fruit (too high in sugar)
- A mixture of healthy fats
In my book, the only healthy muesli is homemade muesli! By making your own muesli, you'll be able to avoid dried fruit (high sugar) and the roasting process, which denatures fatty acids – plus you get to control all the lovely ingredients. Below is a recipe for a muesli I am particularly fond of.
Superfood Muesli
Ingredients (Serves approximately 10):
- 1 cup oats (to make this gluten free, increase the almonds and coconut to 1 cup each)
- 1/2 cup of raw almonds (chop in a food processor)
- 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut?
- 1/3 cup sunflower seeds?
- 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- 1/3 cup chia seeds
- 1/3 cup wheatgerm?
- 1/2 cup almonds, roughly chopped?
- 4 tbsp linseeds
- 2 tsp cinnamon
Mix all ingredients in a bowl then add into a large glass jar to store.
OR, for something a little different:
Paleo Crunch (gluten/grain free)
Dry ingredients:
- 2 cups of raw almonds
- 1/2 cup of raw, unsalted sunflower seeds (shelled)
- 1/2 cup of raw, unsalted pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 cup of hazelnuts (or any other flavorful nut)
- 1/2 cup of chia seeds
- 1/2 cup of unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 cup of almond flour (if you're patient, all it takes is almonds and a food processor… or you could buy a package in the gluten-free baking section of most markets)
- 1 tablespoon of cinnamon
Wet ingredients:
- 1/4 cup of coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 1/2 a cup of honey or agave nectar
Using a food processor or knife, chop almonds and hazelnuts to desired size.
Combine all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
Add coconut oil, honey and vanilla extract and stir until all ingredients are incorporated.
Spread the mixture on a large jelly roll pan or cookie sheet with a lip, and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
Remove pan from the oven and stir ingredients carefully.
Return pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until ingredients begin to brown.
Let your paleo crunch cool before eating. As it sits, the crunch will get… crunchier. Store in an airtight container, or in single-serving (approximately 1 cup) bags.

Take This Town and Shove It
A White House reporter's tale of sex, booze and the briefing room.
If you write about American politics for a living, stop right there. Get back to work, and don't read another damn word.
Sign out of Twitter, say "thanks but no thanks" to a dayside cable hit, get off your ass, go outside and listen to folks beyond the same 200 know-it-alls in Washington and New York who share your affinity for snark, views on Game of Thrones and predictions for next year's Senate race in a state only a handful of you have ever set foot in.
Story Continued Below
The 140-character slap-fight you're in the middle of with another reporter who has never worked for minimum wage is eating up time that I'm begging you to use trying to win back credibility with a country that desperately needs us to spend more time listening and less time talking.
You might have to look it up, but find humility. A quick glance at the poll numbers for how much Americans trust their media or a two-minute conversation with a voter should do the trick. Remember why you do this for a living.
If you've managed to carve out a place for yourself in the shark tank that is the Washington media, you probably see yourself as pretty tough—sign No. 1 that you live and work in a town that long ago broke away from reality. It's not your fault. Washington is an endless maze of funhouse mirrors, a fact we're reminded of once a year when the Hill publishes its 50 Most Beautiful list, replete with people who are Washington hot, which is a step above rehab hot and two levels below jury duty hot. All are miles below what the rest of the country considers actual hot.
Growing up, I had a big mouth and a lanky 6'3" frame, a hideous and awkward combination that led to more than a few ill-advised fights. In D.C., I was rarely in a room without another dude who inspired violent tendencies but was too pitiful to punch. Remember that if you do get out of This Town. In a lot of places, folks won't respond by trying to match your passive-aggressive cleverness with a tweet. They'll knock you on your ass.
In short, get out of Washington. It's messing you up more than you know.
I had to come back to Kentucky to see it.
I'd arrived in Washington in 2004 to cover energy policy for Inside Washington Publishers before moving on to the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun, then the Hill and finally, in 2011, Reuters. I made it to the White House beat and broke into the club. I learned how to do sanctimonious and hypocritical with the best of them.
Then, after spending most of 2012 on the presidential campaign trail with Mitt Romney—chasing a story that gets dumber, impossibly more disconnected and sadly more important every four years—I came home this fall to the state where I was born, raised and somewhat educated. My apartment is three times the size of my last one and half the cost, and it's a little more than a block from Rupp Arena, home to the winningest college basketball team of all time and where I'd have my ashes spread if I weren't worried a player would slip on them.
Aside from the occasional three hours I'm in Rupp, where cell service is spotty, I've never worked harder. The walls of my apartment are bare. My closet is stacked with boxes. I haven't been on a date since I got here.
And I can't remember ever being this happy.
Which is not to say I didn't relish my decade in Washington. There was never a time when I walked through the Northwest Gate of the White House or came out the other side of the terminal at Andrews Air Force Base without appreciating how lucky I was.
My first Air Force One trip was George W. Bush's last as president and, for me, a comic exercise in pretense. On that short flight to Norfolk, Va., I wore my D.C. smirk, trying and failing to act bored and unimpressed. Of course, I stole two of everything and mailed it all to my mom. I'd have taken my seat with me if it hadn't been bolted to the plane.
After we arrived in Norfolk, we switched to helicopters and landed on the deck of the U.S.S. George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier. I was standing next to an F-18 when Dan Eggen of the Washington Post quietly told me, "You know, Sam, it's OK that this stuff is pretty cool."
I can't recall ever seeing Dan again in Washington, but I'm indebted to him for the advice and the subsequent years of goosebumps and awe, full of experiences I let myself appreciate without the embarrassing posturing. Introducing my mom and little sister to the president. Sitting next to my younger brother, a veteran of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, in the East Room as Barack Obama honored the 2012 National Champion Kentucky Wildcats. And the look on my grandfather's face when he laid unblinking eyes on the Oval Office.

I spent two days this election week in Columbus, Ohio, the swing region of the swing state. And people are talking about California.
Mostly, they are talking about how much they don't want to be like California.
Ohioans are worried about their ballot initiative process, which makes it relatively easy to change the state constitution.
They were worried about a proposal to establish a California-style redistricting commission for Ohio -- so worried that they voted down Issue 2, a ballot initiative to do just that.
It wasn't only Ohio that rejected California. Voters in Michigan, where your leading blogger sits as he writes this, turned down an initiative that would have established a 2/3 requirement for taxes. Even the Republican governor opposed it.
There's a warning in this for Californians. The rest of the country follows our lead in matters of fashion, film and food. But in politics and government, they run from our example.
Maybe, at least in the political realm, we should not lead -- but instead follow the lead of better governed states.

Currently, as well as the four remaining books of that series, I also have Ian Cameron Esslemont's Night of Knives, China Mieville's Looking for Jake, CS Friedman's Coldfire Trilogy, Paul Kearney's This Forsaken Earth and Paul J. McAuley's Cowboy Angels waiting to be read, although Peter F. Hamilton's The Dreaming Void will take precedence when it is released on 2 August. Hopefully I can pick up the pace a little in the next few weeks (although a major house move may interfere with that).
Speaking of Paul Kearney, apparently he is close to finalising a deal for a new series and a reprint of his superb Monarchies of God series in one volume, as well as determining the fate of the final Sea Beggars volume after Bantam declined to carry on with the series. Watch this space, or indeed, Paul's website.
It's been a sad few weeks for SF figures passing away. Fred Saberhagen, best known for his Beserker series of SF novels, passed away on 29 June at the age of 77. Douglas Hill, who wrote a number of SF novels for younger readers, passed away on 21 June at the age of 72 after being hit by a bus in Palmer's Green, London. His many works included the enjoyable ColSec Trilogy. British actor and voice artist Peter Tuddenham passed away on 9 July at the age of 88. Tuddenham did voice work for several episodes of the original Doctor Who series but is best known for voicing the three recurring AI characters in Blake's 7, namely Zen, ORAC and Slave.

Didn't realise Douglas Hill was dead... I used to love his 'Last Legionary' (spelling?) when I was little. Shame you can't seem to find them anymore...

A functioning Turing machine, a representation of a computing device, is the latest Google doodle, which celebrates the birth of Alan Turing on 23 June, 1912.
A Turing machine is a device that manipulates symbols on a strip of tape according to a table of rules and was developed by the scientist in 1936.
Turing, the father of computing and artificial intelligence, is best known for his contribution to cracking the German Enigma secret codes with the creation of early computers such as the bombe.
The cracking of the code allowed the Allies to track German military and naval units and destroy them.
Before the war started, Turing had already made an impact on the theory that would pave the way for the construction of the first computers. In 1938 he received his PhD from Princeton in the US.
After the war, Turing worked at the National Physical Laboratory and the University of Manchester.
In 1952, Turing was found guilty of homosexuality. He agreed to be chemically castrated which entailed being given female hormones. Two years later he killed himself at the age of 41.
In 2009, the British prime minister, Gordon Brown, officially apologised for Turing's treatment, although he was not given a posthumous pardon.
• This article was amended on 25 June 2012 to correct the year that Turing was prosecuted for homosexuality. The original gave the date as 1942.

The C63 AMG Coupe undoubtedly provides one of the most visceral and violent driving experiences of all the Euro musclecars available today. A 6.2-liter V8 includes spits, burbles and pops among its ferocious combustion symphony, and when you're driving at the limit, it's clearly no ordinary coupe.
With the reduction of two doors from the C63 Sedan, some of the drama was removed from the aesthetics, but if one company knows how to revive its aggressive appearance, it's Vorsteiner.
To look the part, Vorsteiner addressed the edges of the Mercedes-Benz C63. It's the extremities that define the menacing silhouette and add the wow factor. Utilizing pre-preg carbon fiber, Vorsteiner achieved the makeover flawlessly, and while the Coupe may seem a lot different from our favored sedan, all the parts are interchangeable between both variants, should you have a change of heart between two doors or four.
Working with the sculpted front bumper, a new front spoiler juts sharply forward with factory-tight fitment to provide extra downforce, just as you might expect from a Vorsteiner design. It gives the front-end a lower, race-inspired visage that says "get the hell out of my way."
Moving down the side and keeping the body lines balanced are Vorsteiner side skirts. These bring your eye back to what we consider the best angle of the C63 Coupe: it's rump.
Vorsteiner's rear diffuser houses three fins between the four exhaust tips, bringing a sense of DTM style without being over the top. It gathers the car together and speaks so completely to the characteristics of the C63 it could easily be stamped with the AMG logo.
Finishing off the rear-end is a lightweight boot lid with a molded lip spoiler. It's been painted but the leading edge highlights the pre-preg weave and elegantly ties all the pieces together, rather than leaving the whole trunk in carbon, which we beg you not to do!
Yes, the car sounds mean from the factory, and the AMG engineers spent a large chunk of time tuning the exhaust note to their desired pitch, but Vorsteiner managed to fettle its own stainless sports system to give a 10hp bump and an even deeper note.
On this particular car, Vorsteiner also opted for Velos Designwerks software, squeezing a further 70hp and 45 lb-ft of torque from the big V8.
With more than 500hp at its disposal, this C63 has greater need for Brembo's GT brake system, utilizing six-piston front calipers and massive 380mm rotors, with the rears making do with four-pistons and 345mm rotors. With everything on the car being white, black or grey, the bright yellow Brembo calipers inject the testosterone-infused coupe with the right amount of flash.
Housed in the bulging fenders are Vorsteiner's own 20" one-piece forged VS-110 wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero Nero tires. They tuck up into the fenders thanks to KW Variant 3 coilovers, which increase the handling prowess of the Teutonic musclecar.
While the Vorsteiner additions don't come cheap, neither does a C63 AMG Coupe. But if you want to stand out and confirm you're a gent of discerning taste, this package is about as good as it gets.

There are 8 item(s) tagged with the keyword "income generation".
Recent events in Northamptonshire have hammered home the message that local government has reached a tipping point in terms of its finances. Anyone who thinks that the problems faced at the County Council are unique is in for a rude awakening. In this context is it time for a new municipalism?
With policy pressures piling up and budgets diminishing rapidly for many services it is time for local authorities to take back control of their areas by reclaiming entrepreneurship, rather than the outdated thinking that someone else should do this for them. This is not about acting commercially in the blind pursuit of income generation but to identify the major policy puzzles facing communities and thinking creatively and innovatively about how to solve these policy conundrums. Where markets have failed to deliver the outcomes that local communities need then it's time for local councils to step up to the plate.
Commercialisation strategy 1.0 was very much about trading and charging, using some surplus capacity or getting additional benefits from assets during the 1980's. Fast forward to today and version 10.0.3 of that strategy is hugely different in scope and range.
Of course local authorities have suffered heavily as a result of austerity and still face further huge financial challenges, not least an intention by Government to almost completely remove RSG by 2020, however impractical and unfeasible this may appear for many areas of the country.
There are some who criticise local government as being bureaucratic and lacking in creativity. In reality, local councils are being highly innovative in plugging the income gaps left by ongoing austerity and there is something of a renaissance in municipal investments.
APSE and CIPFA property services set out to identity the scale, scope and advantages of municipal investments and the results of our research have found councils taking a measured approach to investments designed to balance risk and rewards. In many ways asset investments allow councils to convert capital investment into revenue - helping them to sustain local services.
With the spending review completed and the annual financial settlements for local government across the UK done and dusted, we now know where budgets broadly stand, between now and 2020 and it's taking local government expenditure to its lowest percentage of GDP since 1948.
The move to four year budgets in England will see significant further pain, on top of that already experienced, over the next couple of years, before a stabilisation in the latter years of that settlement. This of course optimistically assumes that there will not be a further recession during this period, high levels of house building will be achieved and the move to localise business rates will run smoothly and fairly.
Looking to the future, one theory that increasingly catches my attention is that of 'collaborative innovation'. It's part of the move away from the outdated concepts around new public management towards ideas around new public governance.
So what's it all about? Whilst new public management focused on markets, competition and customers and obviously delivered benefits for some, it failed to deliver innovation for the public themselves. New public governance is more about actors across the public, private and third sectors coming together with service users, through partnerships and networks, to learn and contest each other's thinking and generate new solutions to the challenges society faces.
Now that we are over halfway through the financial year, more and more councils are revisiting plans they have made to generate efficiency savings to see if they will stack up and achieve their desired outcome for this year and beyond.
At APSE, we have noticed an upsurge in enquiries about how you make remaining services more commercially viable by either reducing costs or generating additional revenue to offset budget cuts. This suggests that councils are concerned they may fail to meet existing targets and are attempting a 'take two'.
Took part in Guardian online debate today on managing parks and green spaces despite the budget cuts and with over 100 posts in two hours it was a lively debate.
I pushed the APSE line about whilst we disagree with the cuts we recognise that they are happening and therefore we need to find ways to stop services from imploding. The only response is to seek efficiency, generate additional income and innovate.
Chaired APSE's Innovation forum at Elland Road Stadium, Leeds today on income generation opportunities for local authorities.

Two former Crimson student-athletes named finalists for induction to the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard alumnae Sarah (Downing) Nelson '94 and Maggie Vaughan '90 are among the 12 finalists on the 2012 National Lacrosse Hall of Fame women's ballot. From this ballot, the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame voting committee will select the 2012 induction class. U.S. Lacrosse will announce the inductees prior to Memorial Day weekend.
Vaughan, a 2005 inductee to the Harvard Athletics Hall of Fame, was named the Ivy League's Player of the Year in 1990 while helping the Crimson to the program's first NCAA Championship. A four-time All-Ivy League first team selection and four-time Ivy League champion, Vaughan's teams went 50-8-1 overall and a perfect 23-0 in Ancient Eight play during her time in Cambridge. She was named a first team All-American following the 1989 and 1990 seasons, and was a member of the U.S. National Team in 1993 and 1997. In 2005, Vaughan was inducted into the USL's Potomac Chapter Lacrosse Hall of Fame.
Nelson won two Ivy League championships as a member of the Crimson and was a three-time All-Ivy honoree. She was also named to the All-America second team in 1992 and 1994, and was chosen to play in the North/South All-Star Game following her senior campaign. Nelson graduated from Harvard with 97 career goals, ranking her 11th in program history, after helping the Crimson to a 49-12 overall record and 22-2 mark in Ivy League play. She was a three-time member of the U.S. National Team (1997, 2001, 2005) after leaving Cambridge, and in 2002, she was the recipient of the Beth Allen Award from U.S. Lacrosse. Nelson was inducted into the USL's New England Chapter Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2005.

"Religion is comparable to a childhood neurosis. The whole thing is so patently infantile, so foreign to reality, that to anyone with a friendly attitude to humanity it is painful to think that the great majority of mortals will never be able to rise above this view of life." – Sigmund Freud
Professing dogmatic faith in popular superstitions and ancient myths handed down by our primal ancestors are shared errors that have incredibly retarded most of the world, especially Africa, from keeping a steady pace with global scientific, social, economic, and technological progress at a time when a swift focus in these areas is exceedingly crucial for the survival of the human civilization.
Let me acknowledge the fact that publishing The Crisis of Religion has been the most fulfilling part of my life, as it has for several years been my foremost aim to echo my dissenting opinion concerning the ills and tribulations of religion in the society. My intention for doing this is to motivate the outbreak of secularism and common humanism throughout the length and breadth of Africa; a continent where the stronghold of organized religion has chronically bred very awkward delusions for the entire black race to be contented with not understanding the world they live in.
I wish to recognize it in good faith that a number of difficulties have attended my life from all prospects since the release of The Crisis of Religion into the book market. As numerous colleagues, associates, families, and friends could neither grasp nor welcome the purity of the motive that provoked me into writing against their religion. I, however, do not blame anyone of them for their alarming actions towards me, since I am very much aware of the naked truth that the entireties of Africans have strictly been tutored under extreme tyranny of faith never at all to question or reason with faith.
Imagine a country where a 33-year-old graduate of Mechanical Engineering, who calls himself a born-again Christian, does not have the least idea that Jerusalem and Damascus are cities of this world. Of course, this is not funny at all! Thus, on the whole, extensive population of my compatriots totally lack whatsoever exposure to any other line of critical thinking, except the dogmatic belief system they have routinely been programmed to accept hook, line, and sinker from childhood.
The faith mentality has turned the bulk of my people into gullible belief engines who have never at any point in their entire life had the discernment to scrutinize the grossest absurdities that impose the reign of stupidity upon their land in the name of God; let alone considering the possibility of the precepts of the phantom of God, they so fanatically embrace, as being incredible con job that originated out of utter fallacies. Hence, I hold no feeling of resentment against anyone.
Nonetheless, I certainly do not think that moral justice allows for any group of people to suffer unfair discriminations, because they have chosen to correct the errors and ills of religion through the astute path of telling the people the cutting truth they do not want to hear.
Amazingly, in the midst of all the odds, I have had the resolute individuality and tolerant optimism to stand by my convictions. Through thick and thin hath the power of rationality and reason ably shepherd me, and well preserve the blotting of my inner conscience from the drench of arrogant self-deceit, hypocrisy, and vicious missiles of repression petrifying from the den of the faith merchants.
There is no God higher than truth, says Mahatma Ghandi. Because, I truly know that my total disbelief in contradictory theologies of fictionalized gods does not in any way constitute a crime against humanity and the law of any land, I shall devotedly continue to echo my opinion against the despotism of faith to the entire world. So long as I still hold the liberty of speech as my bonafide civil right, I shall, with all sincerity of purpose, carry on stimulating humanity to the critical exigency of our modern civilization, which of course, is the crucial need to relegate religion to the back seat where it actually belongs. It is a fine choice in the right direction for humanity to allow for science and secularism to lead the way in our modern age.
The trouble with the world is the infamous tenacity of dogmatic believers to accept the bitter truth that their religion is an apparatus of mental slavery, which is suppressive of honest enquiries, and by all appearances hostile to human liberty. In short, humanity can no longer afford the dangling of its future hope perilously upon embarrassing belief systems that strictly abhor the application of critical thinking. It is, therefore, incumbent upon us all to repel this enemy of mental freedom in its entirety, to attain upright liberation from the shackles of dogmatic creeds that burden the reign of stupidity on all human minds in the name of God.
As the German Poet and Freethinker, Heinrich Heine, has aptly puts it, "In dark ages people are best guided by religion, as in a pitch-black night a blind man is the best guide... When daylight comes, however, it is foolish to use blind, old men as guides."

Well, Adebowale Ojowuro, I think you are doing a very good thing. People deserve to be exposed to alternate points of view, and to choose to be different than what they have been in the past. In other words, let the religious people know about the alternative to faith and religion, and let them question it. But they should also question their beliefs. If they find that atheism is the truth, or at least more convincing than any religious beliefs, then those people may join you and I in our disbelief.
I especially liked this passage from your posting and blog, Adebowale . . .
I truly know that my total disbelief in contradictory theologies of fictionalized gods does not in any way constitute a crime against humanity and the law of any land, I shall devotedly continue to echo my opinion against the despotism of faith to the entire world.
However, I understand that in some Muslim countries, talking out against their religion is a crime, and in a number of countries, including Christian Ireland, blasphemy is a crime; (see . . . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blasphemy_law). So in those countries, if you echo your opinion against the despotism of faith, it may get you into trouble. I find those circumstances to be reprehensible - having alternative thoughts and expressing them, (so long as it is done in a peaceable, rational way), should not be a criminal offence.
Thanks for the Wikipedia link, Gila. I've gone through it, and found nothing that contravenes the law of any land in disbelief of contradictory theologies. I totally disagree with the notion that reasoning with faith is an act of blasphemy. Although, majority of dogmatic believers and apostles of faith have argue to the contrary, and would want to impress their misconception upon the society that reasoning with faith is a contemptuous act of blasphemy; of course, this false impression is one downright societal shared error.

Kids with diabetes benefit from a healthy diet the same as everyone else. Although kids with diabetes don't have to follow a special diabetes diet, they may need to pay more attention to when they eat and how much is on their plates.
Meal planning goals for kids with diabetes often are the same as those for other kids: They need foods that help them have overall good health, normal growth, and a healthy weight.
But kids with diabetes also have to balance their intake of carbohydrates (carbs) with their insulin and activity levels to keep blood sugar levels under control, and they should eat foods that help keep the levels of lipids (fats like cholesterol and triglycerides) in the blood in a healthy range. Doing so can help prevent some of the long-term health problems that diabetes can cause.
Kids with diabetes face the same food challenges as everyone else — mainly, sticking with healthy eating habits.
You need to know what's in the foods you're serving and eating. It's easy to guess what some foods contain, but others are more of a challenge. So look to food labels to find a food's ingredients, nutritional information, and calories.
Be sure to look for information on carbs, which can affect blood sugar levels. Usually, they're clearly listed on food labels in grams. The two main forms of carbs are sugars and starches. Types of sugars include fructose (sugar found in fruit and some baked goods), glucose (the main sugar in our bodies that's also found in foods like cake, cookies, and soft drinks), and lactose (sugar found in milk and yogurt). Starches include vegetables like potatoes, corn, and peas; grains, rice, and cereals; and breads.
The body breaks down or converts most carbs into glucose, which is absorbed into the bloodstream. As the glucose level rises in the blood, the pancreas releases the hormone insulin, which is needed to move glucose from the blood into the cells to be used as a source of energy.
Regardless of the specific meal plan that your doctor recommends, it's important to be aware of the carbs in foods so you can learn to balance carbohydrate intake, activity levels, and insulin to achieve the best possible diabetes control.
You can figure out your child's carbohydrate intake by checking the serving size and the amount of carbs per serving on the food label and determining how many servings your child eats.
Here's an example:
There is no one right amount of carbohydrates that your child should eat. The carbs that kids need per day will depend on many things, including the child's age, size, weight goal, exercise level, medications, and other medical issues. The recommended carbohydrate intake is different for each child and can even differ in the same child from day to day. The diabetes health care team will provide guidelines as part of the meal plan.
Also look at the sodium (salt) content on food labels. Eating too much sodium is linked to the development of high blood pressure, or hypertension. Because some kids with diabetes have hypertension, they may need to keep sodium intake within doctor-recommended levels to reduce the risk of high blood pressure problems. It's always wise to go easy on sodium, even if your child doesn't have hypertension.
Also pay attention to the amount of fat and the type of fat. Saturated fats, cholesterol, and trans fats can contribute to the development of heart disease. People with diabetes are at greater risk of developing heart disease, especially if they have abnormal blood lipid levels. Ask your doctor or dietitian whether your child needs to have limits on fat intake.
Aside from these considerations, parents might check food labels for the same reasons they do for themselves or other kids. For example, watching calories helps a person maintain a healthy weight. It's also important to make sure that your family gets enough vitamins, minerals, and fiber and eats a well-balanced diet in general.
Helping your child balance carbohydrate intake, physical activity, and insulin to maintain good blood sugar control starts with nutritious foods. Try to make each meal a good balance of carbs and other nutrients, both for diabetes management and to make meals satisfying.
Here are some estimates to shoot for over the course of a day:
The diabetes health care team will provide meal planning guidelines based on the foods that your child usually eats. The team might ask you and your child to keep a detailed food diary for 3 days to get an idea of what your child likes and what amounts he or she is used to having.
The team may recommend other meal planning guidelines depending on your child's individual nutritional needs. For example, if your child has a weight loss goal, then the doctor or dietician might focus more closely on controlling calories.
Although each child with diabetes will have a distinct set of needs and an individualized meal plan to fit those needs, three kinds of meal plans are commonly used:
Some people with diabetes, especially those who have just developed the condition, use a food-balancing program called the exchange meal plan. For this meal plan, foods are typically divided into six groups: starch, fruit, milk, fat, vegetable, and meat.
The plan sets a serving size (amount) for foods in each group, with each serving having a similar amount of calories, protein, carbs, and fat. This allows flexibility in planning meals by exchanging, or substituting, choices from lists of foods with similar nutritional content. The number of exchanges (servings) from each food group recommended for each meal and snack is based on the total number of calories the person needs per day.
The diabetes health care team can provide you with exchange lists, which also are available through the American Diabetes Association (ADA). This meal plan is particularly useful for people with diabetes who are overweight or others who need to pay closer attention to the amount of calories and nutrients they eat each day.
The other two meal planning approaches also are based on eating a balanced diet but specifically focus on matching the amount of insulin or diabetes medications a person takes with the amount of carbs they eat. With the constant carbohydrate meal plan, the person eats set amounts of carbs in each meal and snack, then takes insulin or other diabetes medicines at consistent times and amounts each day to handle the rises in blood sugar from meals. Although it lacks flexibility, this plan has the advantage of being simple to follow for people whose food intake and physical activity levels are fairly consistent from day to day.
Many people with diabetes now use the carbohydrate counting meal plan to estimate the amount of carbs in the foods they eat at each meal or snack. They then match their insulin dosage to that carb amount. This plan is most useful for those who manage their diabetes by taking a dose of insulin (as a shot or given through an insulin pump) with each meal. This technique can help people achieve better control of blood sugar levels as they manage their diabetes. It also allows more flexibility because the person takes insulin when meals are eaten, not at the same set times each day.
Keeping a written record of what your child eats can help you and the diabetes team create and change your child's dietary plan as needed. You might continue to track carbohydrate intake alongside blood sugar readings in a blood glucose record to see how well food and insulin are being balanced.
Kids can keep track while they're at school or away from home. If you need to make insulin adjustments, this written record can help you understand why and help you decide how much and at what time your child should have the new dosage.
It can also help you plan if you keep a few quick references handy, such as charts that show portion sizes and how many carbs various foods contain. The diabetes health care team or a nutritionist can supply this information, and the ADA offers it, too.
If you ever feel stuck while you're planning nutritious, well-balanced meals, inspiration is easy to find. Cookbooks and recipe websites offer lots of healthy meal suggestions — many of which you can prepare quickly and easily. With diabetes knowledge and the right tools, you'll be prepared to help your child eat right for good health.

The Vortex Windgrip gloves are slim fitting and windproof gloves that are reasonably comfortable on the bike.
I prefer my gloves thin - I like a good feel of the bars and controls when I'm riding - but that does often mean a compromise in the amount of insulation a glove can offer, especially at this time of year. The Vortex gloves use a windproof fabric over the back of the hand and fingers that stops icy cold air in its tracks.
Turning the gloves over reveals a very stretchy material that is liberally covered with silicone details. There are a couple of bigger prints on the two index fingers. This contributes to an incredibly high level of grip on the bars; your hands really feel like they're glued to the drops. This security makes them good for racing and fast training in horrible weather.
Fit of the size mediums tested was excellent, especially around the fingers where there's a generous shape without being restrictive. My main gripe is the stitching at the base of the thumb. It sits in just the wrong place and the ridge it creates is noticeable at all times on the handlebars. It never really caused any major discomfort, even on longer rides, but was just annoying. It's a shame because this seam aside, they're an excellent pair of gloves. I'd like to see Polaris amend this, because they would be excellent if this seam was relocated, or removed entirely.
Polaris are well known for their affordable cycle clothing ranges, and at £22.99 these are very attractively priced. They lack the level of insulation to make them my first choice in the current temperature, but earlier in the winter with typical temperatures, they're fine. They will be a good glove right into the spring.
Other details I should mention that make them that little bit nicer to live with include the large towel covered thumb. Good for wiping a runny nose. The cuffs are elasticated and the length is just about perfect.
They're just let down a little seam at the base of the thumb. The low price does offset this small complaint.
Very good thin and flexible glove with windproof fabric for a range of conditions.

road.cc test report
Make and model: Polaris Vortex Windgrip Gloves
Size tested: Medium
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
Lightweight windproof Polaris sports gloves - great for a range of sporting activities.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
Vortex windproof fabric - keep the wind out and your hands warm
Palm made from a thin super stretchy material for an optimum fit
Silicon print palm detailing - great for grip
Pull on cuff for a snug fit
The stitching at the bottom of the thumb panel is poorly placed. Aside from that they're well constructed. I've even used them mountain biking and in those conditions they've been fine.
These are really very good gloves. They're thin - I like thin gloves - but the windproof fabric provides good protection from the elements. The sticky palm is fantastic for the rider who likes secure purchase on the bars
So far so good.
There's no padding on the palm, which is how I prefer my gloves. They are very nearly perfect, but the seam across the base of the thumb is very uncomfortable.
A little over £20 is a cracking price for such good performing gloves. Without that thumb panel seam, they'd get top marks.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
These have been excellent winter gloves in typical (warmer) winter weather. Down to about 5 degrees they're adequate, and the windproof fabric works really well. Good for training and early season racing.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
The thinness. Sticky silicone palm. Thumb towel.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product
The seam across the palm. Ruins a product that I would probably have otherwise given top marks to. All other things considered, I can probably live with the slight annoyance of the seam placement.
Did you enjoy using the product? Yes/
Would you consider buying the product? If it wasn't for the seam, yes.
Would you recommend the product to a friend? Possibly.

Just when we were beginning to forget that Kim Kardashian rose to fame after starring in a sex tape, Ray J is here to remind us.
The craziest celebrity baby namesIn his new single "I Hit It First," Kim's ex — and sex tape co-star — references their relationship and her other athlete boyfriends as well as her baby daddy Kanye West. Some sample lyrics: "She might move on to rappers and ballplayers/But we all know I hit it first/I had her head going North and her a-- going South/But now baby chose to go West/No matter where she goes or who she knows/She still belongs in my bed."In case Ray J's lyrics didn't make the subject of the song clear enough, it appears he used a pixelated photo of Kim in a bikini from 2008 as the cover art.
The biggest celeb cheating scandals"Lol have some fun! It's not that serious!! #LIVE!!" Ray J tweeted in response to critics of the song before the track was even leaked. Hopefully, Kim agrees and has a sense of humor about the situation.Check out "I Hit It First" below. (WARNING: The song contains lyrics some might find offensive.)

The title sums up my question, but to elaborate basically what I want to understand is why the Android designers want apps that need to work with shared data to use a Content Provider rather than just accessing the SQLite database directly?
The only reason I can think of is security because certain files can by accessed only be certain processes and in that way the Content Provider is the gatekeeper that ensures each app has the proper privileges before allowing read and/or write access to the database file. Is that the primary reason why ContentProvider was created?

On Monday night's "The Tonight Show," host Jimmy Fallon and "Mad Men's" Jon Hamm teamed up to photobomb unsuspecting people at Top of the Rock, the observation deck at Rockefeller Center in New York.
As Fallon explained, they set up a point-and-click camera and asked tourists if they would like to have their photo taken for NBC's "Top of the Rock" website.
While tourists were getting photographed, the duo sneaked behind them while making funny faces and chowing down on hoagies. At the end of the video, Fallon and Hamm introduced themselves and posed with the tourists for a regular photo.
The segment adds to the long list of Fallon stunts, and reminds us that Hamm will be returning as Don Draper in the final season of "Mad Men" on April 13.
"The Tonight Show" airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.

|One of the most influential conductors of his generation,
Leopold Stokowski was at the same time one of the most controversial. His progressive
views, flamboyant presence on the concert stage, and innovative approach to
music-making provoked both the epithets "genius" and "charlatan." He invented various
myths about his heritage, going so far as to affect an unidentifiable accent that
heightened the mystery he perpetuated. In his personal life, his three high-profile
marriages (to the pianist and pedagogue Olga Samaroff; to Evangeline Johnson, the
daughter of the founder of Johnson & Johnson; and to Gloria Vanderbilt, at the time of
their marriage 42 years his junior), as well as his highly-publicized relationship with
Greta Garbo at the height of her career, contributed even more so to the drama of his
professional image.
Stokowski embraced everything modern, and synthesized music, art, and dance in ways that were new to American audiences. His interest in sound reproduction and transmission resulted in pioneering recordings utilizing the latest technological developments. And in his pursuit of the perfect balance and blends of color in the concert hall, he often experimented with the placement of players' seating by moving sections of the orchestra to different parts of the stage.
Stokowski on Orchestral Seating
From an interview with Klaus George Roy during a Cleveland Orchestra
intermission feature broadcast on 20 June 1971 on WQXR (New York City)
Leopold Stokowski was devoted to the performance of "modern" music and despite protestations from audiences and orchestra boards alike, he consistently programmed contemporary compositions alongside more canonical fare throughout his career. He was also criticized for tampering with the "classics" in his orchestral arrangements of Bach organ works, though these attained an enduring popularity.
Stokowski's unorthodoxy is perhaps his greatest legacy, for it was his willingness to take risks and challenge convention that occasioned his most significant triumphs. This exhibition focuses on the conductor's passion for all things musical and his life-long dedication to sharing his noble ideals with the public. With few exceptions the materials on display are a part of the Leopold Stokowski Collection, recently transferred to the University of Pennsylvania Library from the Curtis Institute of Music. In 1999 the National Endowment for the Humanities provided the Library with outright and matching grants to preserve, catalog, and make available to the public the archive of Leopold Stokowski. The core of the collection--Stokowski's conducting scores, manuscript orchestral transcriptions, and recordings--remained in the Maestro's possession until his death in 1977, at age 95. Stokowski offered clear direction in his will concerning the disposition of his musical treasures; even here, in his final public statement in support of his art, he reiterated the sentiment to which he had dedicated his entire career:
It is my profound wish that this entire collection shall be devoted to the advancement of fine music for the continued enjoyment of music enthusiasts throughout the United States, be they students of the arts, performing artists, or members of that vast audience of music lovers among the American public.

BROCKTON, Mass. – Led by Andrew Richards seven shutout innings, coupled with a combined 20 hits and 11 two-out runs the eighth ranked Huskies of the University of Southern Maine defeated baseball by the final of 13-6 Monday afternoon at Campanelli Stadium in a Little East Conference contest.
The Huskies overcame a six-run bottom of the second by the Beacons scoring total of eight runs between the third and seventh innings to remain the only undefeated team in the LEC. With Tuesday's win Southern Maine improved to 20-6, 7-0 in the conference. The Beacons dropped to 10-12, 3-4 in the Little East following the loss.
Richards, who entered the contest in relief, did not surrender run after the second to improve to 2-0 on the year. While on the hill the righty allowed seven hits and struck out three. Zack Bean got the start and after a decent first inning got hit with four runs on four hits in the bottom of the second, opening the door for Richards.
Jamill Moquete (Boston, Mass.) led the Beacons as the senior went 2-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI. He was also walked a game-high two times. For the Huskies it was all Chris Bernard at the plate as the left fielder went 3-for-6 with a double, a home run, three RBI and two runs scored. John Carey also finished with a pair of doubles and had a two RBI day to help his team to the victory.
After a scoreless first, the Huskies responded with a five-run, seven hit top of the second. Despite the large deficit, the Beacons battled right back in the bottom half of the inning scoring all six of their runs on six hits.
The inning got off to a great start as Charles LaPaglia (Marshfield, Mass.), Jose Pena (Boston, Mass.), and Kyle Szatrowski (Agawam, Mass.) all made contact. LaPaglia led off with a single, followed by an RBI double by Pena, and an RBI triple by Szatrowski to make it 5-2 in favor of the Huskies.
Anthony Searles (Shelton, Conn.) then drove in UMass' third run of the afternoon a sac-fly to right field. After a four pitch walk to Bryan Failla, the Huskies went to Richards in hopes of stopping the bleeding. He would get the next batter on a strikeout, but would surrender an RBI single to Nick Brothers (Danville, Calif.) and a RBI double to Moquete. Todd Ezold (Westfield, Mass.) then plated Moquete on an RBI single to push the Beacons lead to 6-5.
Unfortunately, any momentum gained from that inning was stopped in the top of the third on a two-run homer by Matt Bender to make it 7-6 USM. That small lead was all Richards needed as he settled in and shut down the Beacons bats.
Will Barrack (Lancaster, Va.) was handed his first loss of the year after surrendering the two run-run homer in the third. The senior went 2 2/3 and allowed the two-runs on five hits, but did manage a pair of strike outs. The Beacons pitching staff did combine for seven K's in the loss, but all 13 runs against were earned.
Baseball returns to action on Wednesday when the host Roger Williams University at 3:30 p.m. at Campanelli Stadium.

Amazon VPC
Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) lets you provision a logically isolated section of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud where you can launch AWS resources in a virtual network that you define. You have complete control over your virtual networking environment, including selection of your own IP address range, creation of subnets, and configuration of route tables and network gateways.
You can easily customize the network configuration for your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud. For example, you can create a public-facing subnet for your webservers that has access to the Internet, and place your backend systems such as databases or application servers in a private-facing subnet with no Internet access. You can leverage multiple layers of security, including security groups and network access control lists, to help control access to Amazon EC2 instances in each subnet.
Additionally, you can create a Hardware Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection between your corporate datacenter and your VPC and leverage the AWS cloud as an extension of your corporate datacenter.
Features and Benefits
Multiple Connectivity Options
A variety of connectivity options exist for your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud. You can connect your VPC to the Internet, to your datacenter, or other VPC's, based on the AWS resources that you want to expose publicly and those that you want to keep private.
- Connect directly to the Internet (public subnets)– You can launch instances into a publicly accessible subnet where they can send and receive traffic from the Internet.
- Connect to the Internet using Network Address Translation (private subnets)– Private subnets can be used for instances that you do not want to be directly addressable from the Internet. Instances in a private subnet can access the Internet without exposing their private IP address by routing their traffic through a Network Address Translation (NAT) instance in a public subnet.
- Connect securely to your corporate datacenter– All traffic to and from instances in your VPC can be routed to your corporate datacenter over an industry standard, encrypted IPsec hardware VPN connection.
- Connect privately to other VPCs- Peer VPCs together to share resources across multiple virtual networks owned by your or other AWS accounts.
- Connect to Amazon S3 without using an internet gateway or NAT, and control what buckets, requests, users, or groups are allowed through a VPC Endpoint for S3.
- Combine connectivity methods to match the needs of your application– You can connect your VPC to both the Internet and your corporate datacenter and configure Amazon VPC route tables to direct all traffic to its proper destination.
Amazon VPC provides advanced security features such as security groups and network access control lists to enable inbound and outbound filtering at the instance level and subnet level. In addition, you can store data in Amazon S3 and restrict access so that it's only accessible from instances in your VPC. Optionally, you can also choose to launch Dedicated Instances which run on hardware dedicated to a single customer for additional isolation.
You can create a VPC quickly and easily using the AWS Management Console. You can select one of the common network setups that best match your needs and press "Start VPC Wizard." Subnets, IP ranges, route tables, and security groups are automatically created for you, so you can concentrate on creating the applications to run in your VPC.
All the Scalability and Reliability of AWS
Amazon VPC provides all the same benefits as the rest of the AWS platform. You can instantly scale your resources up or down, select Amazon EC2 instances types and sizes that are right for your applications, and pay only for the resources you use - all within Amazon's proven infrastructure.
Use Cases
Host a simple, public-facing website
You can host a basic web application, such as a blog or simple website in a VPC, and gain the additional layers of privacy and security afforded by Amazon VPC. You can help secure the website by creating security group rules which allow the webserver to respond to inbound HTTP and SSL requests from the Internet while simultaneously prohibiting the webserver from initiating outbound connections to the Internet. You can create a VPC that supports this use case by selecting "VPC with a Single Public Subnet Only" from the Amazon VPC console wizard.
Host multi-tier web applications
You can use Amazon VPC to host multi-tier web applications and strictly enforce access and security restrictions between your webservers, application servers, and databases. You can launch webservers in a publicly accessible subnet and application servers and databases in non-publically accessible subnets. The application servers and databases can't be directly accessed from the Internet, but they can still access the Internet via a NAT instance to download patches, for example. You can control access between the servers and subnets using inbound and outbound packet filtering provided by network access control lists and security groups. To create a VPC that supports this use case, you can select "VPC with Public and Private Subnets" in the Amazon VPC console wizard.
Host scalable web applications in the AWS cloud that are connected to your datacenter
You can create a VPC where instances in one subnet, such as webservers, communicate with the Internet while instances in another subnet, such as application servers, communicate with databases on your corporate network. An IPsec VPN connection between your VPC and your corporate network helps secure all communication between the application servers in the cloud and databases in your datacenter. Webservers and application servers in your VPC can leverage Amazon EC2 elasticity and Auto Scaling features to grow and shrink as needed. You can create a VPC to support this use case by selecting "VPC with Public and Private Subnets and Hardware VPN Access" in the Amazon VPC console wizard.
Extend your corporate network into the cloud
You can move corporate applications to the cloud, launch additional webservers, or add more compute capacity to your network by connecting your VPC to your corporate network. Because your VPC can be hosted behind your corporate firewall, you can seamlessly move your IT resources into the cloud without changing how your users access these applications. You can select "VPC with a Private Subnet Only and Hardware VPN Access" from the Amazon VPC console wizard to create a VPC that supports this use case.
Disaster Recovery
You can periodically backup your mission critical data from your datacenter to a small number of Amazon EC2 instances with Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes, or import your virtual machine images to Amazon EC2. In the event of a disaster in your own datacenter, you can quickly launch replacement compute capacity in AWS to ensure business continuity. When the disaster is over, you can send your mission critical data back to your datacenter and terminate the Amazon EC2 instances that you no longer need. By using Amazon VPC for disaster recovery, you can have all the benefits of a disaster recovery site at a fraction of the normal cost.

GBI Research found that the liver cancer therapeutics in the top seven markets (the US, the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Japan) was estimated at $374.3m in 2011, having grown at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 21.7% from 2004. Growth was driven by an increase in the patient volume and the Annual Cost of Therapy (ACT) per patient, which increased due to the approval of Nexavar (sorafenib) in the US and Europe. The market is forecast to reach revenues of $644.3m by 2018, growing at a CAGR of 8.1% from 2011.
The current competition in the liver cancer market is weak, as Nexavar is the only drug approved for advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) with the exception of Miripla (miriplatin) in Japan. However, there are some molecules in Phase III development as first-line and second-line treatments which promise to influence the competitive landscape in the next two to three years. The anticipated launch of Eli Lilly's ramucirumab (IMC-1121B), a monoclonal antibody in 2014; Celsion Corporation's ThermoDox in 2014; and PrevOnco in 2015 will drive the market forward.
