The biggest thing with Parise is he wants to be the unquestioned star. In Pittsburg there is no way he won't be in the shadow of Malkin and Crosby. If he comes to MN he will be the man. So that gives us hope.
Losing Gui I think makes us that more aggressive for forward help. Even though we have better prospects to call upon in case of injury replacement I still think the Wild will go hard after a Jamie Langenbrunner ( who would also help with Parise), Peter meuller, or maybe even a Shane Doab on a short deal to provide scoring depth.
Also I think we will be aggressive on the trade market. If we sign Parise plus a Langenbrunner we wont have room for guys like Coyle, Larsson, Zucker, or basically other prospects not named Granlund. I could see us trying to move Cullen, Bouchard, Clutterbuck, or even Setoguichi in that situation. Also if we strike out on Parise I could see us going the trade route to find a scorer rather than taking
a chance on a Semin or Parenteau.

- McLaren news
Drivers' styles should compliment each other - Whitmarsh
- Drivers:
- Jenson Button
- |
- Sergio Perez
- |
- Martin Whitmarsh
- Teams:
- McLaren
McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh is hoping the attributes of his drivers, Jenson Button and Sergio Perez, will work in harmony to push the car forward on a technical level.
Perez joins the team from Sauber after several standout performances last year in which he made his tyres last longer than his rivals in order to optimise his strategy. Button has also been credited with tyre management in the past, and although Whitmarsh has yet to see Perez on track, he believes the two will work well together on a technical level.
"Inevitably if both drivers have got similar needs then for the engineering team in terms of developing the car, not so much over a race weekend but over the course of the year, it makes life easier than if we have to be diverging all the time," Whitmarsh said at the launch of the MP4-28. "In truth we don't know yet and with Checo it's fairly early days, but one would imagine we can develop the car in harmony and that makes it more efficient for us. Over the course of the race weekend, their assessment of tyre wear and their feelings on tyre strategy we don't know yet and we will find that out in Australia."
One of the problems Button suffered with last year was tyre warm-up, especially in the middle of the season, but he is confident the new Pirelli tyres will better suit his style.
"We've got a tyre in 2013 that does help me," he said. "It's got a much wider working range and I'm not fearful of those issues again. We start the season with a clean slate and I'm very excited that we will be fighting for pole position at every race and hopefully fighting for a win at every race."
Meanwhile, Perez is aware that he may have to change his style to suit his new team, but says he has had to adapt at in the past too.
"I think it is something I have to find out and will have to adapt myself to the car throughout the year," he said. "You are always trying to help yourself by changing your driving style and the set-up of the car and this is something I will have to work on a lot. People always say I have a very similar style to Jenson, but I don't know his style and I don't even know my style. It's very difficult to know which style you have as you are always changing throughout a race, practice and qualifying."

Severe thunderstorms are believed to have spawned three tornadoes in North Texas Thursday, while peppering Denton and Collin counties with hail as large as softballs.
The National Weather Service confirmed the following information from last Thursday's storm.
- Tornado (EF0 — wind up to 85 mph) — Princeton (Collin County) with an estimated peak winds of 85 mph. The tornado width was about 40 yards with a length of 1.2 miles.
- Tornado (EF1 — wind up to 110 mph) — Near Merit/Greenville (Hunt County) with an estimated peak wind of 110 mph. The tornado width was 750 yards with a length of 11.1 miles. Four people were injured during this event.
- Tornado (EF1 — wind up to 110 mph) — Near Tira (Hopkins County) with an estimated peak wind of 105 mph. The tornado width was 250 yards with a length of a half-mile.
- Hail — Denton 4.25"
- Hail — 2 North of Denton 2.75"
- Hail — Aubrey 2.75"
- Hail — Frisco 2"
- Hail — 3 NW McKinney 2"
- Hail — Allen 2"
- Wind Gust — Denton Municipal Airport — 82 mph
The Hunt County Sheriff's Office confirms four people were hurt as a result of Thursday night's severe weather, though no updates have been given on the severity of the injuries. There were no fatalities reported.
The Denton County Sheriff's Office and National Weather Service retracted a previous report that the storm spawned a tornado that touched down near Krum. As the first wave of the storm passed through Denton County, the Denton Municipal Airport recorded gusts of 82 mph; that wind speed is equivalent to an EF-0 tornado.
There have been widespread and varying reports of damage including utility poles toppled, tree limbs downed and fences leveled. There have been reports of homes and roofs being damaged by the storms, including two homes that are "gone" in Hunt County.
Throughout the evening NBC 5 storm spotters reported hail ranging in size from quarter-sized to softball-sized, including some that shattered car windows in Denton.
The National Weather Service reports hail of 3 1/2-inch diameters and larger fell along U.S. 380 north of downtown Denton around 4 p.m. Denton city spokeswoman Lindsay Baker said reports of broken windows and windshields and other hail damage were widespread. (Photos are available in the slideshows above.)
Oncor reports less than 600 storm-related outages across the Metroplex as of 5 a.m. Friday.
All weather warnings issued were allowed to expire at 9 p.m. Thursday except for a small tornado warning near eastern Hunt County and western Delta County that expired at 9:15 p.m. The tornado watch across North Texas expired for most of the Metroplex at 9 p.m., though it was extended until 4 a.m. Friday for some of the eastern counties and East Texas.

How GOP can win Senate in '14
It's clear what Republicans need to do to take back the Senate in 2014: stop blowing races they should win, knock off some wobbly Democrats and break a string of bad luck.
That's no small order.
Story Continued Below
To erase Democrats' 55-45 advantage, the GOP needs to net six seats. There are seven states now represented by Democrats that Mitt Romney won last year. Republicans need to carry most of them, and retirements in West Virginia and likely South Dakota help.
( Also on POLITICO: Democrats' big 2014 obstacle: Obama)
But they can't count on running the table in red states. Republicans also must compete in places that Barack Obama just carried, purple states like New Hampshire, Minnesota and Colorado.
Historical patterns favor the GOP. Midterms tend to bring out a higher share of whiter and older (read: Republican) voters. Typically, a reelected president's party loses seats in the next election. But the GOP starts in a deep hole after a host of bad candidates — Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock, to name just two — blew eminently winnable races in 2012.
About a dozen seats are in play, and conventional wisdom at this moment — 20 months out from the election, an eternity in politics — is that Republicans will pick up a handful of seats.
With that in mind, here is POLITICO's look at four things Republicans must do to retake the Senate for the first time since 2006.
Knock off some red-state Democrats
Democratic incumbents in Louisiana, Arkansas, North Carolina, Alaska and Montana all have fat targets on their backs, thanks to those states' GOP tilt. But Republicans have their work cut out.
( Also on POLITICO: Can Reince Priebus remake the GOP - and himself?)
Arkansas Sen. Mark Pryor had a free ride in 2008, when Republicans didn't even nominate a challenger. That won't happen again. Some Republicans say Pryor's divorce last fall could become an issue, and the Club for Growth is already running ads attacking him as "Obama's best ally in Arkansas." Conservative groups like the club want rising star and freshman GOP Rep. Tom Cotton to run, but Lt. Gov. Mark Darr is also interested and could be formidable.
In North Carolina, the GOP has no clear front-runner against Sen. Kay Hagan, who has a 42 percent approval rating, according to Democratic firm Public Policy Polling. The survey found Lt. Gov. Dan Forest narrowly atop a scattered field of possible candidates. A contested primary to take on Hagan is expected.
In Alaska, Democratic Sen. Mark Begich beat Ted Stevens in 2008 by just a few thousand votes. But Begich, the former mayor of Anchorage, has aggressively positioned himself as an Alaskan first and a Democrat second. Though he voted for Obamacare, he has broken with Democrats on issues important to the oil industry.
( Also on POLITICO: Club for Growth primary targets ask for help)
Republican Joe Miller, who lost a 2010 race against incumbent Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski after a series of bizarre incidents, is laying the groundwork for another bid. But Washington, D.C., Republicans think Gov. Sean Parnell or Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell would be better options.

After more than two years of conflict, many of President Bashar al-Assad's supporters are questioning their allegiance to the beleaguered regime. But the growth of conservative Islamist groups among the rebels also have many of them wondering whether they can trust the opposition.
The hardest group of regime supporters to convince may be the Alawites, who share a religion with the Assad family. Though a minority within Syria, making up only 10 to 12 percent of the majority-Sunni population, the group has enjoyed preferential treatment for the past four decades of rule by the Assad family – an estimated 70 percent of career soldiers in the Syrian Army battling the opposition and 80 percent of military officers.
As their period of privilege comes to an end, Alawites fear violent reprisals from Sunnis, who fill the ranks of the opposition at every level.
"The attempt to peel off minorities from the system and give them a place to run was only an effective strategy earlier on, before the uprising became armed and also before the more extremist elements got involved in the fight," says Andrew Tabler, a senior fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy and author of "In the Lion's Den: An Eyewitness Account of Washington's Battle with Syria."
"They don't know who is in the opposition and they don't trust the opposition, but at the same time, they also don't like the regime and realize it's unsustainable, so they're in a real bind and in the meantime they do nothing."
They are also among the most secular in Syria, and perhaps the most likely among the country's Muslims to be wary of the creation of an Islamic state that many conservative opposition groups now say they want.
"The majority of the minorities are afraid of the future because from the beginning they are not strict, they are liberal-minded," says Nawar Kassim, an Alawite who is now an accountant in Turkey.
As the fighting drags on, a number of moderate opposition groups now find themselves sidelined by much better-supported conservative Islamist groups that enjoy a growing base of support among the opposition.
Groups like the ultra-conservative Jabhat al-Nusra, widely believed to receive substantial funding from the Gulf states, are among the most effective groups fighting alongside the opposition. They've also earned a reputation as some of the most honest brokers when it comes to issues such as distributing humanitarian aid or settling disputes.
But this winter, the US labeled Jabhat al-Nusra as a terrorist organization and earlier this month the head of the group officially pledged loyalty to Ayman al-Zawahiri, the leader of Al Qaeda who replaced Osama bin Laden.
For Syrian Alawites already inundated with government propaganda and state-run media reports branding members of the opposition as "terrorists," the pledge to Mr. Zawahiri, along with a general conservative shift among the opposition, makes them unlikely to change sides even if they have questions about Assad.
"The problem is that all these people from the minorities, they backed off when they saw that Islamic people are increasing in the revolution," says Loubna Mrie, a prominent Alawite activist who supports the opposition.
Ms. Mrie, a liberal Syrian, says she is far from conservative, but that she she often interacts with members of the Syrian opposition described as extremists without any problems.
Recently a friend still in the Syrian Army told her he wanted to defect, but was hesitant to go through with it do to fears he would be killed by the opposition once he made it to the other side of the lines. "It's a problem of trust between both sides," says Mrie.

Warrior Path Week 2 – Overcoming Fear
So when is the last time you feared a tiger attack? Probably never, and that can be a problem.
Technology and modern comforts have dulled our senses and forced most of us to walk around numb and unafraid of any dangers though they still exist. We ignore even those who would do us harm, because we have our heads down tapping away at witty social media posts assuming someone else will ensure our safety. Stifling our inner alarm system has its consequences, and many of them are quite negative personally and in business. With my journey to warrior, I am learning to harness fear and make it a welcome battle buddy for possible situations of danger professionally and personally.
The natural survival instinct that protected our ancestors from physical harm (like a wild animal) remains on high alert in our brains and causes non-life threatening events to trigger us in silly ways. With natural instincts to self-protect still present in our DNA, the stress at work, traffic jams, and other modern non-life threatening pressures can still trigger our brain to go into fight, flight or freeze reactions. Fear is natural and will not go away. In fact, we don't want it to go away. We want to learn to marinate in it, make us sharper, and even power us in the right situations to not freeze in business, sales presentations or even with a belligerent teenager.

Bibb School Employees Get Lesson on Macon Promise Neighborhood Reports | Schools
Title (Max 100 Characters)
In a series of meeting closed to the media, Superintendent Romain Dallemand gave district employees a presentation and documents that help outline the school district's relationship with the Macon Promise Neighborhood Initiative.
The district released a statement about the meetings that reads, in part, "Due to a large amount of misinformation regarding the School District's participation in the Macon Promise Neighborhood Initiative, the meetings were designed to eliminate further confusion caused by inaccurate information that has been circulating in the media."
The meetings were held with principals, assistant principals, directors and central office staff.
The district plans to post the documents handed out during the meeting on their website.

Nothing is happier than a cupcake. Well, how about one that lasts forever and has no calories?
Impossible you say? Certainly not, if you buy felt cupcakes by Cheryl Smith, an Atlanta-based crafter who has been spreading cuteness in the world through her Etsy wares since 2005. The cupcakes are available in two sizes: regular ( 2 inches high by 2.25 inches wide; $12 each) and mini (2 inches high by 1.25 inches wide; $6 each), and are all hand-stitched, showing an amazing range of clever details which create different "flavors", like discs of felt gathered and twisted to resemble a piped frosting on the "spice" cupcake or seed beads delicately stitched on the "white frosted with sprinkles" cupcake. The result is an adorable gift item for any dessert-loving friend (or maybe just your dessert-loving self).
This is the kind of happiness you can have and hold for a long time.

I had (in theory) such a great Halloween costume idea in mind this year! For once I didn't go as myself, a crippled Disney princess or a pre-pubescent singing sensation. My Duchess of Cambridge costume had the dress, the pantyhose, the shoes, THE RING, and a supremely shiteous brown wig (to add the scary element of Halloween).
Unfortunately, this year Mother Nature went as Hurricane Sandy for Halloween and quite literally blew my costume out of the water. I never ended up getting to the Halloween party I was supposed to go to on Saturday. Instead I built a hurricane shelter of decorative pillows, ate potato chips and caught up on my new favorite show The Mindy Project.
I decided that in addition to being a fightercock for Halloween, I will also go as Mindy Kaling next year (who is a fightercock in her own right). Not only will this be a racially appropriate costume for once, but I have no qualms about completely removing my already dilapidated filter and becoming a verbal-diarrhea inclined noise box for one night.
So what did I actually do on Halloween day?
Have you ever been to one of those haunted mansions where you walk around getting aneurysms every time some asshole dressed as a zombie jumps at you? Well, my bathroom is worse. Think of the worst fake haunted house you've ever been to, multiply that by Fear Factor and double it by Flavor Flav. THAT was how frighteningly dirty my bathroom was.
So on Halloween, I dressed up as a dirty bathroom cleaner and cleaned my dirty bathroom.
But even though Halloween may officially be over, today is one of the best Catholic holidays: All Saint's Day!
As a practicing Catholic who can`t get through a full Hail Mary without thinking about what I'm going to eat next or what I would do to my hot neighbor if he ever saw him again, patron saints are my lifeline from not getting permanently cut off by The Big Guy.
With so many prayer requests, 95% of which in recent years had to with my immigration papers, it is only natural that God assign some His most trusted buds in the bizz to handle
bitch fests prayer intake paperwork.
Roman Catholisicm may have had a pretty bad rep, but those guys thought of everything when assigning saints. And so today, in honor of my Catholic upbringing, here are a list of some favorite saints and some random ones that I mentally yell for on any given day:
1) St. Anthony- Patron saint of lost things.
Common prayer: Dear St. Anthony, I lost my mind. Can you please find me a bottle of Pinot instead?
2) St. Joseph- Patron saint of workers.
Common prayer: St. Joe, can you please inspire my patients to shower?
3) St. Isidore of Seville: Patron Saint of the Internet
Common prayer: St. Is, how many naked Ryan Gosling pictures can I download before Rogers flags my account? #girdyourloinswithgosling
4) St. Dymphna- Patron saint of insanity and mental illness
Common prayer: St. D, since my fifth cup of coffee, I've had purple cucumbers dancing in my head. Now they're on my Spreadsheet.
5) St. Drogo- Patron saint of Unattractive people
Common prayer: St. Drogo, I'm 26 and single. Please take away this plague of zits so my Neutrogena money can be better spent on a cat.
6) St. Francis of Assissi- Patron saint of writers/journalists/bloggers
Common prayer: St. Francis, please let this post get thousands of likes and ten thousand comments. Self-esteem doesn't magically appear out of nowhere.
7) St. Genesius- Patron saint of comedy
Common prayer: St. Genesius, these pretzels are making me thirsty. Get it? (Of course he gets it! You think Seinfeld came up with this shit on his own?)
8) St. Jude- Patron saint of lost causes.
Common prayer: St. Jude, please let Michael Kors have a sale. Also, can you make me Canadian?
9) St. Anne- Patron saint of finding love
Common prayer: St. Anne, find me a man, as fast as you can, who doesn't drive a white van, someone with a nice tan and preferrably not a Nickleback fan. (This is the lamest prayer ever)
10) St. Joseph Cafasso- Patron saint of Prussia
Common prayer: St. Joe C, Prussia hasn't existed for the last 65 years. If you're not doing anything, can you please help a sister out? And when I say sister, I mean St. Anne.
Bonus saint:
11) St. Polycarp- Patron saint of dysentery.
Common prayer: St. P, please let it all go down with one flush.
This list represents only a tiny fraction of the multitude of saints at your disposal. There's a saint for any human need you could possibly imagine. And all jokes aside, I don't know where I'd be without their constant intercession. I don't talk about religion much, but I will say that some of these saints helped me through the toughest times in my life and that deserves way more than just a light-hearted blog post.
If you are still mourning the end of Halloween and care not much for saints then let me try and change your mind:
Seriously!! How can you!?

Welcome to JCC, PyLucene's code generator
What is JCC ?¶
JCC is a C++ code generator that produces a C++ object interface wrapping a Java library via Java's Native Interface (JNI). JCC also generates C++ wrappers that conform to Python's C type system making the instances of Java classes directly available to a Python interpreter.
When generating Python wrappers, JCC produces a complete Python extension module via the distutils or setuptools packages.

Dmitry Medvedev
A protegé of outgoing President Vladimir Putin, Dmitry Medvedev was himself elected president of Russia in 2008. Medvedev is known as a sharp legal and business mind with an interest in economic reform. The son of university professors, he earned a law degree (1987) and then a doctorate (1990) at Leningrad State University. He became an assistant professor of law at the same school while also running his own consulting firms and working in local politics, where met Vladimir Putin. Putin moved up to the Kremlin to work for President Boris Yeltsin in 1996, and Medvedev followed him there in 1999. Putin became president in 2000, and Medvedev rose steadily in power, becoming chief of staff (2003) and first deputy prime minister for social programs (2005). Putin stepped down as required by term limits in 2008; as Putin's hand-picked successor, Medvedev won election easily and was sworn in on 7 May 2008. He then made Putin his prime minister, leading to speculation that Putin would again run for president in 2012. That speculation proved exactly correct: in 2012, Medvedev stepped aside as Putin ran for and won election again as president.
The BBC has noted that Dmitry Medvedv was "the country's first leader in decades with no known links either to the former Soviet Communist party or secret services"… According to RussiaProfile.org, "Medvedev is shorter than his potential predecessor, Putin, at 5 feet, 4 inches. He swims nearly one mile, twice a day"… Dmitry Medvedev and his wife, Svetlana, have one child, Ilya (b. 1996)… The Russian constitution bars presidents from serving three consecutive terms, but it does not prevent former two-term presidents from running again later… Medvedev is reportedly a longtime fan of Led Zeppelin and other classic rock groups… Leningrad State University is now St. Petersburg State University; the city was renamed after the fall of the Soviet Union.

Vahdah Olcott-Bickford Collection, 1800-2008 | Special Collections & Archives
The Vahdah Olcott-Bickford Collection documents Olcott-Bickford's professional life as a classical guitarist, an avid member of various organizations in the United States, her work with guitarists around the world, and her personal life. The collection includes scores, letters, photographs, newspaper clippings, receipts, articles, lecture notes, and guest books, and dates from 1874-1980, with the bulk of materials from 1923-1979. It is divided into seven series: Scores (1800-2008), Correspondence (1884-1987), Personal and Subject Files (1882-1994), Periodicals (1893-2004), American Guitar Society Files (1924-1980), Photographic Material (1892-1970), and Sound Recordings.
Series I, Scores (1800-2008), consists of approximately 7,000 music scores of varied instrumentation, almost always including a guitar, written by a wide variety of composers. They date primarily from the 19th and 20th centuries. Some of these scores are referenced in the correspondence, especially when Olcott-Bickford received them in the mail. Some are signed by Olcott-Bickford, possibly to show her ownership, and others include personal notes. The scores were published in various parts of the world including Germany, Italy, Spain, Argentina, and are filed by identification number.
Series II, Correspondence (1884-1987), is sorted in three subseries: Personal, Musicians and Music Organizations, and Astrological. These documents date between the early 1900s and late 1970s. The Personal subseries documents Olcott-Bickford's relationships with friends and family not affiliated with the guitar. The Musicians and Music Organizations subseries documents Olcott-Bickford's interactions with other professionals, and includes commentary about performances, programs, and other music-related topics. The Astrological correspondence documents Olcott-Bickford's interest in astrological matters, and includes correspondence between famous astrologers and friends. Many of these friends were guitarists who were also interested in astrology. Each subseries is arranged alphabetically.
Series III, Personal and Subject Files (1874-1994), documents the broad scope of Olcott-Bickford's professional and personal interests. It contains drafts, lectures, speeches, newspaper clippings, programs, catalogs, family records, ephemera, and other notes created for Olcott-Bickford and her husband's various professional and personal obligations as musicians, composers, arrangers, guitar historians, teachers, and astrologers. These materials date across her entire career as a guitarist and astrologer, and include personal notes and unrecorded lectures which provide a view into her life as a teacher. A few records of the Zarvah Publishing Company are included in this series, as well as some Robert Revere and Zarh Bickford's personal correspondence and other materials. The series is filed alphabetically.
Series IV, Periodicals (1893-2004), includes serial publications about the guitar that Olcott-Bickford collected throughout her life. This series consists of two sub-series Complete Issues and Loose Articles. Complete Issues contain periodicals, dating from 1893-2004, which are closely related to guitar, banjo other plucked instruments. Loose Articles are clippings or tear outs from periodicals or newspapers dating from 1887-1994; they are articles highlighting the guitar or guitarists that Olcott-Bickford enjoyed reading about. Olcott-Bickford consistently and regularly added to her collection, and frequently wrote to magazines and periodicals that have since been discontinued. This series includes some articles that are specifically referred to in the Correspondence series. Periodicals range in date from the late 19th to late 20th century. Materials are filed alphabetically.
Series V, American Guitar Society Files (1924-1980), consists of items that Olcott-Bickford collected during her work founding and leading the AGS, which includes correspondence, minutes, programs, catalogs, and guest books. All of these items demonstrate the growth and development of AGS from a small organization in Los Angeles to a large society with international associations. Materials in the series date from a time when Olcott-Bickford was an active member in the early 1920s, serving as the Secretary and Musical Director of the Society, until the late 1960s.
Series VI, Photographic Material (1892-1970), contains personal and professional photographs of Olcott-Bickford, as well as photographs of people who corresponded with her and guitars. It is divided into two subseries: Loose Photographs and Albums and Scrapbooks. The series includes photographic prints, slides, negatives, photo albums, and scrapbooks. Each subseries is arranged alphabetically by file title.
Series VII, Sound Recordings, consists of recordings that Olcott-Bickford personally collected or were given to her. Some of these sound recordings include items that have a label indicating they are from the Zarvah Publishing Co., and the rest are from Olcott-Bickford and Bickford's personal collection of sound recordings. They are dated approximately early to mid-20th century. Many recordings have not been identified because they are unlabeled. Sound recording are filed by identification number.

A Diet of Worms, Part 3Submitted by kelson.philo on Mon, 08/25/2008 - 12:13.
"So," said Gordon, over the sound of breaking waves, "You want to tell me what's going on?" They were out in the middle Lake Michigan now, Gordon having tied a load of scrip to the doors of the motorboat rental office while the sugar cube broke the encryption on one of the speedier models, and were following a course that Invisible Rockmore dictated, making slight course corrections along the way.
"A supposition, Gordon," said Invisible Rockmore, not needing to shout.
"That's like a hunch, right?"
A Diet of Worms, Part 2Submitted by kelson.philo on Mon, 08/25/2008 - 11:58.
Gordon had his afternoon work cut out for him. His cellcomp was dead, it's battery burned out by the pulse, and so he needed a replacement. That would be remedied soon enough, as it appeared the morning's events had not effected the 'L', he could still hear it roaring past like clockwork several blocks away. Get out of the pulse radius again, hop the L to the nearest communications co-op, then get the window replacement order in.
A Diet of Worms, Part 1Submitted by kelson.philo on Mon, 08/25/2008 - 11:50.
Gordon Littlejohn was late to work the morning of the fifth because of the EMP bomb that went off two blocks from his apartment. At six fifty-nine a.m., a utility truck disguised as an official State vehicle disintegrated under the pressure wave of a conventional explosive while every unhardened electrical system within a kilometer of the truck's secondary explosion, unseen by the naked eye but well felt by everything that conducted current, had its useful properties scrambled by electromagnetic pulse. As a result of the EMP, none of the electrics in Gordon's apartment, including his alarm clock, functioned properly anymore. Heavy sleeper that he was, the rattling of his windows was mistaken for an errant compost truck and Gordon had responded by rolling over in bed and grunting a bit. When the sun's rays finally pierced Gordon's cheaply veiled windows to tap dance on his eyelids, it was ten o'clock. Rockmore was definitely going to count this as an occurrence.

Locate iOS backups stored on your Mac or PC
To avoid ruining any of your backup files, here's what you should know:
- iTunes saves backups to a Backup folder in your Users folder. The location of the Backup folder varies by operating system. Though you can copy the Backup folder, you should never move it to a different folder, external drive, or network drive.
- Don't edit, relocate, rename, or extract content from your backup files, because these actions might ruin the files. For example, to restore from a relocated backup file, you need to move it back or the file won't work. Backups serve as a safe copy of your entire device. So while you might be able to view or access a backup file's contents, the contents usually aren't stored in a format that you can read.
Find iOS backups on your Mac
Find a list of your backups:
- Click in the menu bar.
- Type or copy and paste this: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
- Press Return.
Locate a specific backup:
- Open iTunes. Click iTunes in the menu bar, then choose Preferences.
- Click Devices.
- Control-click the backup that you want, then choose Show in Finder.

- Press Return.
- Double-click these folders: "Apple" or "Apple Computer" > MobileSync > Backup.
Delete or copy iOS backups on your Mac or PC
Don't edit, relocate, rename, or extract content from your backup files, because these actions might ruin the files. Use the following sections to make copies of your backups or delete backups that you no longer need.
Copy iOS backups to another location
If you need copies of your backups, you can find the Backup folder and copy the entire folder (not just part of it) to another place, like an external drive or network-storage location.
When you use Time Machine, it automatically copies your Backup folder when you back up the Home folder on your Mac.
Delete iOS backups
- Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences. Learn how to turn on menus in Windows 7 and 8.

AMERICUS, Ga. – A two-run bottom of the ninth felled the No. 7 Georgia College baseball team (23-9, 8-5 PBC) Friday night at Georgia Southwestern State University (19-13, 7-6 PBC) 4-3.
The Hurricanes got all four of their runs in the last three innings to steal a win from The Bobcats. GC surrendered the game with two errors and a passed ball in the ninth.
Senior catcher Richard Pirkle (Norcross, Ga.) ripped two solo home runs as part of a 3-for-3 night, and Josh Young (Lake Havasu City, Ariz.) drove in another run on a sacrifice fly. Second baseman Luke McKay (Augusta, Kan.) had a multi-hit game, going 2-for-4.
Lefty starter Mike Guinane (Glenview, Ill.) went eight strong innings, allowing two runs on six hits and fanning three. Closer Tanner Moore (Thomasville, Ga.) allowed two unearned runs in the ninth to take the loss (1-2).
'Cane starter Trent Franzago (5-4) went the distance in the win, striking out 10 Bobcats while allowing the three earned runs. GSW centerfielder Michael Coffey was 2-for-5 with two RBI and a home run.
The Bobcats finish the three-game set with a doubleheader tomorrow, April 2 at 1 p.m.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, back-to-back winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level.

Algeria's Antar Zouabri
Zouabri, head of the militant Armed Islamic Group (GIA), ensures that Algeria remains the most dangerous place in the world for journalists. Under his leadership and that of his predecessor, Abu Abdul Rahman Amin, who was killed last year, the GIA has waged an unpredecented campaign of assassination that has claimed the lives of 59 journalists since the brutal civil conflict began in 1992. "Those who fight with the pen shall die by the sword," warns the GIA, creating total fear in a press corps trying to continue to work under impossible conditions.
China's President Jiang Zemin
Jiang wages a continuing battle against all independent reporting, threatening to close down one-third of all publications as part of a crackdown on press that fail to toe the Communist Party line--a harsh reminder that the media's only role is to be the party's mouthpiece. Jiang has already made it clear that press freedom in Hong Kong will be greatly constrained when China takes over July 1.
Cuba's President Fidel Castro
Castro continues his relentless harassment of independent journalists, using tactics such as organized mob rallies outside journalists' homes. Castro's security police routinely detain journalists and steal their effects and money, while threats of reprisals instill fear in their families, neighbors, and colleagues. Under Castro's rule Cuba is the only country in the Western Hemisphere that tolerates no free or independent domestic journalism.
Nigeria's General Sani Abacha
Abacha escalated his vicious tactics to decimate the country's once-thriving independent press and drive scores of journalists into exile. He ended 1996 with a rash of detentions of journalists for their critical coverage of government and the establishment of a press court solely for the prosecution of journalists. The assassination in broad daylight of the wife of Concord publisher and Nigerian president-elect Moshood Abiola and the attempted assassination of Guardian publisher Alex Ibru were clear examples of the length to which Abacha will go to silence the media.
Turkey's Prime Minister Necmettin Erbakan
Erbakan keeps up Turkey's repression of independent journalists. The press remains under threat from the sweeping provisions of the anti-terror law and the penal code, which permit the arrest and prosecution of journalists for critical reporting on the government's ongoing conflict with Kurdish insurgents. Broadening his assault, he increasingly subjects journalists to arbitrary detention and trial for expression of unfavorable political opinions. Under Erbakan's regime, 78 journalists were in jail at the beginning of 1997--more than in any other country.
Belarus's President Alexander Lukashenko
Lukashenko bullies the press with Soviet-era tactics, tightening his stranglehold by shutting down independent media and publicly denouncing journalists. He expelled Russia's best-known independent television bureau chief for "distorted coverage." In March, before signing an integration agreement with Russia, he instituted prior censorship and blocked the dissemination of information "deemed harmful to the interests of Belarus."
Ethiopia's Prime Minister Meles Zenawi
Meles wages a deliberate campaign to restrict press freedom, inflicting harassment, censorship, arrest, and months-long detention on journalists, as the total of 104 documented imprisonments in Ethiopia in the last four years attest. At the end of January, for the fourth consecutive year more journalists were in prison in Ethiopia than in any other African country.
Indonesia's President Suharto
Suharto continues to stifle any independent press, banning and censoring both foreign and local publications at will and permitting the severe beatings of journalists covering demonstrations against his suppression of political opposition. He ignored international appeals for the release of imprisoned leader of the independent journalists union Ahmed Taufik and his colleague Eko Maryadi, instead further isolating them by frequent moves to increasingly remote prisons.
Burma's Senior General Than Shwe
Chairman of the State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC), Than Shwe keeps the media under tight control with a barrage of laws restricting the flow of information. Writing or saying anything to "disrupt and deteriorate the stability of the state" brings a 20-year prison sentence; owning or using a fax machine or modem, 15 years. Jamming of BBC and Voice of America Burmese-language broadcasts effectively denies Burmese citizens access to any independent, reliable information on developments in their country.
Albania's President Sali Berisha
Berisha, until recently the West's favorite East European anti-Communist, reverted to his predecessors' methods by muzzling the press in the state of emergency declared in March to quash mass public protests over failed financial pyramid schemes. Berisha's dreaded secret police raided and then torched the newsroom of the main opposition daily, Koha Jone. Journalists, beaten and intimidated, were forced to flee the country or seek refuge in foreign embassies in Tirana. Ongoing attacks on journalists and seizure of critical publications belie his claim to have lifted censorship.

2014 NAIA Baseball Players of the Week ? No. 6
Lathram, a native of Brentwood, Calif., tossed William Penn's first no-hitter since 2012 in a 2-0 win at Clarke (Iowa) on April 17. In only his second start of the season, the senior hurler struck out seven in seven innings of work, while walking one. Lathram is 4-3 on the season with a 3.48 earned run average. He is second on the team with 34 strikeouts.
Rodriguez, a third baseman from Moreno Valley, Calif., hit .609 (14-for-23), including four home runs, and drove in 11 to help lead Sterling to a 6-0 week that included a four-game sweep of Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference rival McPherson (Kan.) on April 18 – 19.

OMG! See One Direction as Legos [PHOTOS]by Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
It looks like the employees of Legoland Discovery Center Chicago are some die-hard Directioners! In honor of One Direction's 'Where We Are' tour stops in the Windy City later this month, the company decided to go all out and create Lego figures of Harry, Zayn, Niall, Liam and Louis. OMG!
We kind of can't get over the guys' too-cute-for-words Lego counterparts, all designed to look adorably like each member of the band. (Well, the yellow, square version, of course.) While there is some debate amongst the editors here at PopCrush over which figure is Harry and which figure is Louis (it's a tough call!) we're in love with whole collection, even down to the guys' shirts, facial expressions, and tiny little microphones. And just wait til you see them in "concert" — there are even Directioner and security guard Legos!
Check out more fun pictures of the One Direction Legos in the photo gallery below.

27 March 2014 at 12.53pm | 1 Comment
The National Portrait Gallery has unveiled their latest commission, a portrait of former Director of The Royal Ballet, Monica Mason.
The larger-than-life-sized portrait by Tehran-born artist Saied Dai sees Dame Monica in a commanding pose, holding a mask and looking sideways at the viewer, reflecting her careers as a graceful ballerina and Company director.
'The paradox of painting is that whilst the image is static and inert, on examination it must reveal movement and life,' says Saied. 'This was especially so in the case of a dancer. I was conscious of not resorting to any cliché about dance. Since Dame Monica Mason has spent her whole working life performing through 'masks', it appeared to be a fruitful metaphor to pursue.
The dancer-turned-Director's career with the Company spanned 54 years, both on stage and behind the scenes. Born in South Africa, Monica joined The Royal Ballet in 1958 as the youngest member of the corps de ballet before rising to the rank of Principal, acclaimed for her interpretations of major roles including Odette/Odile in Swan Lake and Princess Aurora in The Sleeping Beauty. She also famously created the demanding role of the Chosen Maiden in Kenneth MacMillan's The Rite of Spring. On retiring from dancing, she joined the Company's administrative staff, becoming Director of The Royal Ballet in 2002.
The gallery's collections contain a number of ballet-related paintings, sculptures and photographs. Among these are 44 works featuring Margot Fonteyn, eight featuring Rudolf Nureyev, and four featuring Kenneth MacMillan.
The portrait is on display in Room 32 at the National Portrait Gallery. Admission is free.

University of
O'Quinn Law Library
Researching Federal Legislative History
This research guide is intended to provide information on locating Federal legislative history documents. This guide will provide an overview of the legislative process, legislative documents and relevant authority, and print sources where legislative history documents may be located. This guide includes information about compiled legislative histories for specific statutes as well as a list of compiled legislative histories that the O'Quinn Law Library holds in its collection. For those who need to compile their own legislative history for statutes enacted after 1970 this guide provides important steps to take in conducting such research. This guide also includes information on finding legislative documents for acts enacted prior to 1970. Finally this guide includes an overview of some of the online resources including free web sites that provide legislative history information.
The following information provides the legislative process and the selected documents that are created at each step. Effective and efficient legislative history research requires familiarity with the legislative process since documents are created at each step.
1. Introductions of the bill in the House or the Senate
Although a bill typically originates in either the House or the Senate revenue bills are required by the U.S. Constitution to begin in the House and bills pertaining to the budget usually begin in the House as well. Legislation is introduced by a member of Congress and the bill is referred to one or more of the standing committees.
Documents Created: Introduced Bill, Opening Statement
2. Committee/Subcommittee Action
Once the bill is referred to a committee, the committee may hold a public hearing and then refer the matter to one of its subcommittees for a mark-up session for further review. A subcommittee consists of a smaller group of members from the full committee. A mark-up session will allow the subcommittee to negotiate the bill and add amendments. Once the bill passes the subcommittee it is then reported to the full committee. The full committee upon receiving the bill may decide to hold further proceedings, table the bill, defeat the bill, or report the bill to the floor of the chamber. The committee at any point in this process can add amendments to the bill before reporting it to the full chamber.
Documents Created: Hearing Transcripts, Committee Prints
3. Bill passes the committee and is reported to the floor of the chamber
If the bill passes the committee it is reported to the floor of the chamber and placed on the calendar for further action.
Documents Created: Reported Bill, Committee Report
4. Floor Action: bill debated and voted upon by the full chamber
At this point the bill will be debated by members of the chamber and, depending on the rules, certain requirements must be met before debate can end and the bill come to a vote. Often, amendments will be considered and approved. In the Senate the rules are more flexible with respect to time provided for debate. Since the House has more members the debate time is restricted considerably for each member.
Documents Created: Debate, Proceedings, Roll Call Votes (Congressional Record)
5. Bill passage and referral to the other chamber. When the bill is referred to the other chamber it will repeat steps 1-4 above
When the bill passes the chamber it is then referred to the other chamber where it will follow roughly the same process. For example, if the bill has passed the House of Representatives it then proceeds to the Senate where it will be referred to a committee. Once it passes the committee it will go to the floor of the Senate for debate and possible vote.
Document Created: Bill (Engrossed)
6. Once the bill clears both the House and the Senate it will go to the President for signature or veto if there are no differences between the House and Senate versions of the bill.
If the bill passes the House and Senate and there are no differences between the two versions of the bill it will proceed to the President's desk. However, there will usually be differences between the House and Senate versions of the bill because amendments can be approved at virtually every stage of the legislative process. The differences between these two versions of the bill must be worked out before it can be signed into law by the President.
Document Created: Bill (Enrolled)
7. A Conference Committee will be convened if there are differences between the house and senate versions of the bill.
A conference committee will convene to work out any differences between the House and Senate versions of the bill. The conference committee consists of selected members from the standing committees in the House and the Senate that considered the bill. The committee will engage in a negotiating process where the members attempt to work out the differences between the two versions of the bill which, if successful, will result in one final version of the bill. Once this final version of the bill passes the conference committee it must return to both the House and Senate for a final vote before it can go to the President for signature.
Documents Created: Conference Report
8. Floor Action: Congress will debate and vote on the final version of the bill submitted by the Conference Committee.
Congress will debate and vote upon the final version of the bill.
Documents Created: Debate, Proceedings, Roll Call Votes (Congressional Record), Bill (Enrolled)
9. Presidential Action:
Once Congress enacts the bill it will be sent to the President who may veto the bill, take no action, or sign the bill into law. If the President vetoes the bill it will go back to Congress where it will require 2/3 vote in both houses to sustain the bill. If the President takes no action the bill will become law if Congress is in session. If Congress is not in session the President's refusal to take action will amount to a veto. This is often referred to a pocket veto.
Documents Created: Presidential Signing Statement
1. Conference Report (Highly Authoritative)
The conference report is arguably the most authoritative of all legislative documents. A conference committee will be convened when there are differences between the House and Senate versions of a bill. The committee will consist of selected members from the House and Senate committees that originally considered the two versions of the bill. These members will negotiate and if such negotiations prove successful they will approve one version of a bill that will be sent back to Congress for final passage. When this happens, the committee will issue a conference report consisting of the full text of the bill, findings of the committee, and votes and names of the committee members.
2. Committee Reports (Authoritative)
When a bill passes a House or Senate committee and is reported to the floor for debate and passage the committee that considered the bill will issue a committee report. The committee report will include the full text of the bill, the findings of the committee, and the names and votes of the committee.
3. Bills (Authoritative)
There are different versions of bills that represent different stages of the legislative process.
Introduced Bill
This bill is the version first brought to the House or Senate floor by a member of Congress. The bill is often referred to at least one committee for further action.
Reported Bill by the committee or conference committee
This is the version of the bill that passes a committee and is placed on the calendar and then goes to the floor of the House or Senate for further review.
Engrossed Bill
This is the version of the bill that has passed one chamber and introduced into the other chamber.
Enrolled Bill
This is the version of the bill that has passed both chambers and has been sent to the president.
4. Hearing Transcripts (Some Authority)
These are produced by Congressional Information Services (CIS) when a committee considering a bill holds public hearings to investigate matters related to the bill. Transcripts are also available for subcommittee hearings or mark-up sessions. The transcripts are not considered to be very authoritative because they do not always reflect what is actually stated during the committee hearing and they often include various advocacy positions. It is important to note that there are committee hearings where there are no transcripts available.
5. House and Senate Debate and Proceedings (Some Authority)
The debate and proceedings are available in the Congressional Record. Debate is usually reported when a bill is considered on the floor of the House or the Senate. The text however will be different from what is actually spoken on the floor of the chamber, since statements can be entered into the record or even removed. The authority is not as strong as the committee reports.
6. Committee Prints (No Authority)
The Committee Prints are a compilation of various internal documents that the committee compiled together in order to assist the members in considering a particular bill. They can also help give the members a background into the subject matter of the bill. The types of information can vary from statistical data to certain drafts of bills. These are the least authoritative of legislative documents, since they do not represent the committee's opinion as a whole.
7. Presidential Signing Statements (Uncertain Authority)
The President can provide a personal viewpoint of the legislation and its purpose in the signing statement. This statement is not really authoritative, but because the president will often write legislation that is presented to Congress the statement can offer some insight into his or her viewpoint. These are available in the Compilation of Presidential Documents.
These contain the public acts that have passed Congress. Our collection includes acts from 1796-present.
The Public Acts passed by Congress are compiled and arranged by Subject. There are three U.S. Code Publications: The official version is the United States Code (USC); the commercial publishers produce the two annotated versions including United States Code Annotated (USCA) and the United States Code Service (USCS).
Popular Names Table
This is a single volume that is included in the United States Code Annotated and the United States Code Annotated. The Popular Names Table allows you to look for the common name of a public act, and it will list the official name of the act and the sections of the United States Code when it is codified. It will also list the public law and statutes-at-large citations for the date it was enacted, as well as any amendments.
The USCCAN, published by the Government Printing Office, provides full text of bills as well as partial and select committee reports.
Congressional Record
The Congressional Record contains the text of the debates and the proceedings of the U.S. House and Senate, including roll call votes.
House and Senate Journals
The U.S. House and Senate are required by the U.S. Constitution to keep a journal of their activities. These contain a record of the proceedings of the House and Senate. They do not contain the debate transcripts.
Compiled legislative histories make the job of researching legislative history much easier, since they organize the full text of various committee hearing transcripts, reports, floor debates, and other documents into a multi-volume set. Compiled legislative histories for specific laws are available in full text on online databases. In short, compiled legislative histories can save much time in researching legislative history.
1. Find a list of published compiled legislative histories.
Johnson, Nancy P., Sources of Compiled Legislative Histories. 1979. This is a looseleaf binder that is currently updated and provides a listing of all compiled legislative histories in publication. This is the best source for locating compiled legislative histories
Hein Online contains a list of compiled legislative histories. Students and faculty may access this through our databases page at the following link: http://www.law.uh.edu/libraries/indexes.htm
2. Take the publication citation and locate it using the online catalog.
Using a title search, limit the search to the UH Law Library and enter the name of the publication. The UH online catalog is available at the following link: http://library.uh.edu/
3. Use our interlibrary loan services to find compiled legislative histories not located in our collection.
The following link will provide information on our interlibrary loan policies: http://www.law.uh.edu/libraries/ILL.htm
Researching Federal Legislative History for Statutes Enacted after 1970
1. Find the Statutes-at-Large Citation or Public Law Number for the Public Act
There are two citations that you need to look for: the Statute-at-Large citation and the Public Law Number. To find these citations use the Popular Names Table or look at the history note at the end of the United States Code section.
a. Popular Names Table
The annotated codes (the United States Code Annotated and the United States Code Service) have a single volume popular names table that will allow you to find the name of the act and the public law number. Example: The Popular Names Table will provide the Statutes-at-Large citation (116 Stat. 745) and the Public Law number (Pub. L. 107-204) for the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
If you are researching the legislative history for a particular section of the United States Code simply go to that section of the code. At the end of the text of the statute there will be a short statement that will provide the Public Law Number.
2. Take the Citations to the Public Act and Locate the CIS Legislative History on the LexisNexis Congressional Database.
Go to the Law Libraries indexes and databases page and click "LexisNexis Congressional". This will link you to the database
Example: Locate the CIS Legislative History for the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001
1) Click "Legislative Histories, Bills & Laws" on the left on the screen.
2) Click "Get a Document"
3) Select "Legislative Histories" from the pull down menu
4) Enter either the Public Law Number "Pub.L. 107-110" or the Statutes-at-Large citation "115 Stat. 745" and click "Search"
5) Select "No Child Left Behind Act of 2002" from the list.
3. The CIS Legislative History will contain a listing of the different documents available for the public act. Look for the following documents:
Availability in Full Text
Print Source
Reports (Committee Reports, Conference Reports)
Full Text (1990-present)
CIS Documents (Microfiche)
Full Text (1989-present)
Full Text (1985-present)
Congressional Record
Hearings (selected hearings and witness statements)
Full Text (1988-present)
CIS Documents
Committee Prints
Selected Full Text (1993-2004)
Most of these are in abstract only
CIS Documents
You can use the CIS Legislative History on LexisNexis Congressional to decide which documents you wish to locate and use the citations to obtain the documents. For statutes enacted after the early 1990's many documents are available in full text simply by clicking the citation for the document.
4. Use the citations to find the documents that are not available in full text on LexisNexis Congressional
a. Debate (The CIS Legislative History will list the debates that took place in the House and Senate as well as the citations to the Congressional Record) The O'Quinn Law Library houses the Congressional Record in print and on microfiche.
Congressional Record Daily (KF35.A5)
Congressional Record Permanent (KF35.A5)
b. The CIS Legislative History will provide both the CIS citations and SUDOC numbers for committee hearings, committee reports, and conference report.
c. The CIS citation enables you to locate the document on microfiche in libraries that subscribe to the CIS legislative documents service. If you cannot locate the full text of a transcript to a committee hearing, committee reports, or conference report, you can take the citation and go to the microform room of the law library and retrieve the document.
d. The SUDOC (U.S. Superintendent of Documents) citation is the citation that you would use to locate the document in libraries which carry the legislative history documents distributed by the Government Printing Office (discontinued in the early 1990's)
Finding legislative documents for years prior to 1970 can be very difficult. You cannot rely on the CIS Legislative Histories, since they only cover legislation enacted from 1970 until today. There are various print indexes and online sources that can be helpful.
1. Sources in our Collection
The O'Quinn Law Library has access to the USCCAN volumes in print from 1941- until present. These contain the full text of the bills as well as partial and select committee reports.
2. LexisNexis Congressional Database
CIS Serial Set Index (1789-1969)
LexisNexis has begun digitizing legislative documents from 1789 to 1969 and provides access to these in PDF format. Currently the collection is incomplete but there are various documents that are available and fully searchable.
CIS Congressional Indexes (1789-1969)
This database has a listing of legislative documents, including House and Senate committee reports, committee prints, bills, and published and unpublished committee hearings indexes.
3. Finding Information from other Libraries.
Since the library's holding of legislative history documents prior to 1970 is incomplete you may need to use interlibrary loan to find information from other libraries for older legislative documents.

(NewsUSA) - Today's smart shoppers carefully study ingredient labels to make sure what they eat and drink is good for them, avoiding artificial and overly processed food. They know to watch out for artificial flavors and colors, trans fats, preservatives and chemical stabilizers because long-term consumption has been shown to cause health problems. However, there is one ingredient label that most of us have never checked, says Dentist and Oral Health Expert Dr. Harold Katz, and it is one label he highly recommends we read.
"You will brush your teeth 1,000 times per year or more, and each time you do, you will ingest some toothpaste. If you think that is not a problem, think again," says Dr Katz. "Some of the ingredients in many commercial toothpastes are undeniably bad for you."
Katz is the Founder of the California Breath Clinics and has led oral care research there for 19 years. He recommends that consumers looking to avoid problem ingredients buy an "ethical" toothpaste brand like TheraBreath, Weleda's Salt, or Tom's of Maine. TheraBreath, for example, is certified Vegan, Kosher, Sulfate-Free, Alcohol-Free and Gluten-Free. To help conscientious brushers know what to watch out for, Dr Katz put together the following list of harmful ingredients:
* FD&C blue dye No. 2. This dye is in many toothpastes, but the Center for Science in the Public Interest warns against it as it might be related to learning and behavioral issues, severe allergic reactions and other health problems.
* Sodium lauryl sulfate. The American College of Toxicology says it can cause skin corrosion, irritation and canker sores. In lab rats, the ingredient led to depression, diarrhea and death.
* Triclosan. The anti-microbial ingredient is listed as a pesticide and is used in OTC toothpaste and hand soap. But the Environmental Protection Agency demanded more research be conducted because of triclosan's negative effects on thyroid and estrogen levels.
* Saccharin and aspartame. Both are artificial sweeteners, and both made the Center for Science in the Public Interest's list of additives to avoid.
What nutritionists recommend you stick to with food should apply to oral care products as well, advises Katz. "Look for a toothpaste with natural ingredients like Aloe Juice and Tea Tree Oil. Xylitol is an excellent cavity fighting sweetener used by both Spry and TheraBreath in their effective toothpastes. And avoid toothpastes with added colors -- they serve no purpose and can actually decrease the whiteness of your teeth over time."

In addition to food labels, be sure to check out toothpaste ingredients.

Kelpie and German Shepperd Puppy Faceoff
A local Kelpie faceoff with a German Shepperd puppy. Neither want to lose.
The ancestors of the Kelpie were simply (black) dogs, called Colleys or Collies. The word "collie" has the same root as "coal" and "collier (ship)". Some of these collies were imported to Australia for stock work in the early 1800s, and were bred to other types of dogs (possibly including the occasional Dingo), but always with an eye to working sheep without direct supervision.
So I have no idea how a look alike Kelpie can found its way here, at Borneo.
