The court system is generally the refuge of last resort. But that seems to be where the cattle industry is headed once again on at least a couple of fronts.
• After the attempts to destroy the checkoff from within failed, Mike Callicrate and the Organization for Competitive Markets (OCM) teamed up with the Humane Society of the U.S. a few weeks ago to try to get the job done judicially.
• The World Trade Organization (WTO) essentially sided with Canada, Mexico and others earlier this year in ruling that the U.S. mandatory country-of-origin-labeling (mCOOL) law wasn't valid. R-CALF turned to the courts this week, announcing it has aligned with the Made in the USA Foundation to sue WTO, USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack, and the U.S. Trade Representative. The gist of the lawsuit seems to be that the WTO doesn't have a right to override a U.S. law.
Of course, the basis of WTO is that trading partners – in hopes of establishing a level playing field on the trade front – agree to abide by a common set of rules and an international referee on disputes. Obviously, with hundreds of billions of dollars in trade at stake, the U.S. isn't about to withdraw from the WTO. Nor would there be an iota of political support to do so.
Another Perspective: WTO Rules Against U.S. COOL Rule; Now What?
The historical record of the U.S. cattle industry going to court to achieve policy aims hasn't been very good. A case in point are the events that led to the founding of R-CALF. Back in those days, with widespread concern among cattlemen about the number of Canadian cattle coming into the U.S., there was a push to sue Canada under the anti-dumping laws. The membership of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) actually supported such action until its legal counsel informed them it would cost more than $1 million to bring the suit, with the chances of success being less than 1%.
Based on that advice, NCBA decided not to get involved, but R-CALF decided to go ahead. The lawsuit actually ended up costing more than the lawyers had estimated, but the prediction was accurate – the suit failed.
This R-CALF lawsuit isn't expected to be as involved as the Canadian dumping action, and any victory largely would be symbolic. Proponents of the action hope it will raise concerns over America's involvement in the WTO, and there are good reasons to have issues with WTO involvement. The program has fallen short of achieving what it was intended to do in pretty significant ways. Yet, WTO involvement is a lot like farm subsidies; you may not agree with them but reversing the course would wreak havoc.
From R-CALF's perspective, this lawsuit shouldn't cost a tremendous amount and hopefully will demonstrate to its membership that it continues to fight for their positions on the issues, regardless of the outcome. Of course, the beautiful thing about the court system is that if one finds the right district judge/judges, it's possible to win a temporary victory as the case winds its way through the process.
The bottom line is that the U.S. did cede some of its authority and sovereignty when it joined the WTO, and it could regain it by opting out of the WTO. But that simply isn't in the cards right now. What's more, the courts have made it clear that the U.S. government has the right to enter into trade agreements; the courts aren't likely to reverse these longstanding interpretations.

Usher is allegedly at the centre of a steamy sex tape scandal.The raunchy video, which was reportedly made seven years ago, apparently shows the R'n'B heartthrob romping with two women. A source, who has seen the x-rated tape, revealed: "There's no doubt it's Usher. You can see him hamming it up for the camera." TLC's hit song 'Waterfalls' - performed by Usher's ex-girlfriend, Rozonda 'Chill' Thomas - is said to be playing in the background, while one of the naked women can allegedly be heard moaning: "Ush!" Sources claim the 26-year-old star was set up with the two women as a 'thank-you gift' from the owner of a club where he had performed before the video was reportedly recorded. One told America's New York Daily News newspaper: "The club owner wanted to show his gratitude. So he hooked him up with these ladies." Photo agent David Hans Schmidt, who has sold nude photos of various celebrities, believes the video may be worth a fortune. He said: "It could fetch a lot of money. Usher is extremely hot."
Previous stars whose sexy home videos have become public include Pamela Anderson and her then-husband, Tommy Lee, Paris Hilton, former 'Baywatch' babe Gina Lee Nolin and Rob Lowe.

This weekend, I finish a new literacy mini-unit that I am really excited about. The Down on the Farm literacy mini-unit includes an original story by me, which is great to use for guided reading or individual assessment (a running record is included). It also includes a shared/interactive reading activity that you could use whole group or as a literacy center. Lastly, it includes an original song written by me, along with puppet cards to go with the story.
Here are a few pictures of what is included:
This is the title page of my original book. I have included leveling for DRA, Reading Recovery, and Fountas and Pinnell Guided Reading .
This is an example of the pages in the story. Most of the story is very repetitive, to build reading confidence and to practice using high frequency words.
These are the cards to use with the whole group shared/interactive reading activity. Students will order these cards in the pocket chart, and then complete sentences with either words or pictures, depending on your students developmental levels.
These are the word and picture cards used to complete the sentences in the shared/interactive reading.
This is the original song that I have written. It goes to the tune of "Down by the Bay." My kids LOVED this song. Each time you sing the song, you replace the animal line with a different one. They love how silly it is!
These are the puppet cards that students can use while singing the song.
I am going to giveaway the Down on the Farm mini-unit for FREE for the first 3 people who comment on this post (remember to include your e-mail). I don't have a lot of followers, so it should be pretty easy to win! Tell your other blogger friends! I would love to get some more followers!
Lastly, I am having a TPT sale! The Leap Day sale on Feb. 29th will give you 10% off of all TPT products, with the product code L2PY9. I have marked all of my items an additional 20% off! My products will be 20% off from Monday-Wednesday, but to get the BEST deal, keep them in your cart until Wednesday to use the Leap Day code as well!
I know my cart is filling up quickly!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend. I will be busy planning next week. Read Across America Week, Dr. Seuss, Leap Year, Lent, ahh! I don't know how I am going to fit it all in!
Good luck to you all!

I came across Borghese Stellare Notte one Thursday night at Chemist Warehouse, a discount pharmacy chain. A massively leaky lip gloss had coated all the polishes in the tub with a sickly sweet pink goo reminiscent of the goo in the Matrix human battery farm pods, but I grabbed two bottles of this anyway. Duo/multichrome addict, hello! As per usual with multichromes, I've taken way too many pictures:
Fitting, this polish is actually quite like the colour scheme inside the Matrix - in most lights it shows up as teal-tinted charcoal, with purple-tinted black playing around the edges, if you try you can also see a golden brown at extreme angles. It's a very sophisticated, understated, noir kind of multichrome, the kind of thing that a non-polish fiend (i.e. "civilian") wouldn't pick as a duochrome. It's the kind of colour you'd expect a sexy guitar or secret agent car to be.
Range-of-colour shots:
The boyfriend approves of the un-obvious shimmer, but deemed it too camp for his own nails. One day I'll convince him to let me manicure him!

I'm sure you have all heard the phrase "Jack of all trades, master of none". I think of this phrase when some entity tries to serve too many purposes that it really doesn't focus too well on any of them.
This happened a few years ago with UGS in regards to the Solid Edge annual international user group meeting. Due to what I imagine was a concern with costs and economy of scale, someone decided that the independent Solid Edge Summit should be wrapped into the annual PLM World event with all the other UGS products. What happened is we lost that Solid Edge only focus and it became watered down and generalized. Needless to say, it was giant flop, and in just a few years Solid Edge had lost most of it's annual conference attendees.
Under the new management of Karsten Newbury, he and his team decided in 2011 to hold a Solid Edge only international event and it was a big success! Because it was such a hit, it was repeated in 2012… And it was an even bigger success! So again for 2013, there will be another Solid Edge international user event…
Solid Edge University 2013 (http://www.solidedgeu.com/)… It will be held in Cincinnati June 24th-27th, however the 24th will cover the Solid Edge Application Programming Interface, the 25th-26th will cover Solid Edge usage and I'm sure a preview of ST6, and the 27th will cover your choice of FEMAP topics or Insight XT configuration topics. While the schedule isn't firmed up yet, based on the content of the 2012 event you can expect hands on computer training as well as lots of interesting and beneficial presentations from users, product managers and resellers covering a wide variety of topics… All pertaining to Solid Edge! And don't forget the peer to peer discussions that can happen during breakfast, lunch, break, and evening social times with fellow users made up of us old salty dogs as well as newbies, and the Solid Edge staff.
Be aware that the first level Early Bird discount is in effect through March 29th, and until then, if you get 3 folks from your company to attend you can save $150 each on general admission (buy two get one free) for a per person rate of only $300… Not bad for being fed breakfast, lunch, a dinner, and copious amounts of Solid Edge wisdom!
A must see event for anyone using or thinking of using Solid Edge. I am planning on being there again this year and I hope to see you there too, so get registered and Design Better!

Keep your wooden furniture looking good for years!
Posted by Royal Sundaram on 07 Oct 2010
Tips to protect your wooden furniture
Caring for wooden furniture, contrary to common belief, is simple and easy if you go about cleaning it regularly. Proper care and maintenance prolongs the life of wood and keeps it looking grand – and spanking new for years! So if you want to increase the life of your wooden furniture and your investment to last for years, here's what you must do.
Some basic care to help protect your furniture during your every day use:
- Clean the dining table after every use or once every week / two weeks if they are not used frequently.
- 'Dress' your table either with a table cloth, runners or pads; this will protect your table during heavy use and also makes it look attractive.
- Never place hot objects directly on wooden surfaces. The heat can damage the surface, causing a white moisture ring to form. Use place mats or hot pads while serving warm dishes.
- Keep your furniture away from sunlight or prevent direct sunlight falling on the furniture. UV rays from sun can age the wood prematurely and cause discolouration.
- Keep 'Felt' (a soft, non-woven cloth) at the bottom, while placing lamps, flower vase or any other accessories on your furniture to protect the surface from scratches.
- Use protective material underneath before keeping a candle. Otherwise heat generated by the fallen wax may damage the wood which may be difficult to repair later.
- Dust and clean your furniture regularly. Other dust, lint can settle down and soften your wood that would gradually weaken your furniture.
- For cleaning use soft dust free, cotton cloth damped in water or furniture polish. Avoid using dry rag as it can leave scratches on the surface.
- While applying furniture polish, read the instructions and follow them carefully. Remember, the kind of polish varies from wood to wood and depends on the finish of the furniture. Any overuse of chemical can ruin the furniture easily.

I have a love-hate relationship with open source. It's definitely more love than hate.
I've been an advocate of open source for much of my career and even built a successful open source project many years ago (within the context of the ColdFusion community for which it was built anyway). I also depend on open source projects on a daily basis – many from large companies or organizations, but also many maintained by individuals or small groups of individuals, most of whom donate their time.
Anyway, as I said – it's mostly love. So where's the hate come from? Documentation. Or a lack thereof.
In this article I want to make the case that your undocumented open source code incurs a significant cost to the development community. In many cases, I'd argue, the drawbacks outweigh the benefits whereby your good intentions may actually have a net negative value to the community.
In order to make my case, let me first indulge in an analogy.
Author's note: Some readers appear to have taken offense at the title which I intended humorously, not seriously. My goal here is to get you to seriously consider the impact documentation (or lack of it) can have on the community – not to get you to stop writing open source.
As a society, we generally agree that recycling is a good thing. Of course, there are disagreements over specifics, but, on the whole, people have come to believe in the value of recycling.
We try to recycle as much as we can nowadays – with many of us moving to single stream recycling. Single stream recycling ended the days where cardboard and aluminum would need to be separated into individual bins, replacing it with a single bin where you place every recyclable item – even materials that were previously not accepted.
The thing is, recycling of aluminum and cardboard was relatively cheap and easy. However, single stream recycling means that the waste management company has to sort all of the items in the recycling bin – separating the garbage from the recycling and also separating the different types of recyclable materials. As you can imagine, this is a complicated and expensive endeavor.
As a labor-intensive activity, recycling is an increasingly expensive way to produce materials that are less and less valuable.
Recyclers have tried to improve the economics by automating the sorting process, but they've been frustrated by politicians eager to increase recycling rates by adding new materials of little value. The more types of trash that are recycled, the more difficult it becomes to sort the valuable from the worthless.
In fact, one study noted that the dollar cost of single stream recycling was $250 per ton compared to $45 per ton for landfilling.
This is complicated by many people choosing to simply dump lots of unrecyclable garbage into the single stream recycling bin. For most people, this is done with good intentions. They figure that the more we recycle, the better, so why not err on the side of recycling if I'm unsure about a particular items recyclability.
My goal here isn't to actually debate single stream recycling versus landfilling – I am definitely in favor of recycling.
However, I want to make the analogy that GitHub has effectively become the single stream recycling bin of the developer community. We've come to believe in the value of open source and become comfortable with the ease of pushing code to GitHub – so much so that many of us are now simply dumping all of our garbage into the bin. End users (i.e. other developers) end up becoming the waste management company forced to pick through the garbage to find the useful items – and, unfortunately, this also comes at a great cost.
The major issue isn't usually the code itself but rather the fact that it is either completely undocumented, only partially documented or poorly documented. Much like sorting our recyclables, documentation requires additional effort that increases the barrier to open source, but it also reduces the cost to the end user developer.
Similar to the person who throws garbage in the recycle bin because they are unsure of its value as a recyclable, developers tend to share their code with altruistic motives. We've been led to believe that the act of sharing code, in and of itself, has intrinsic value – but it also has costs.
Let's look at it this way. Imagine there are two types of developers who might use your project.
Depite the altruistic motives in sharing, the lack of good documentation meant that the project didn't help person 1 at all. Meanwhile, it led person 2 down a rabbit hole of time spent digging through code to see if the project actually solves their problem – if it doesn't, we've now completely wasted their time, but, even if it does, we've forced them to spend far more time than necessary getting there.
Even from a "selfish" perspective, not properly documenting projects is counterproductive and costly. A lack of documentation tends to indicate a project that is either "not ready for prime time" or at high risk of abandonment. Many developers (often myself included) will not be willing to tough it out or take the chance, meaning whatever effort you spent in sharing is wasted.
The ones that do take a chance can often end up frustrated, leading them to submit issues or post negatively about your project – this is clearly not the reaction you hoped for when you decided to share it in the first place. You can either end up battling issues that are caused by confusion, or abandoning the project out of your own frustration with the negative feedback.
Let's take, for instance, the world of static site generators, as I have a particular interest and experience in this. Currently, there are 422 of them. I have personally used about 12 (including many of the most prominent ones) and have presented reviews of them at various events to help people decide which they should consider using.
In my reviews, my primary complaint is that the documentation ranges from nearly non-existent to poor on a large majority of the ones I have tested. Without naming names here, there are some that only include installation and configuration, but no usage documentation. There are others that have a getting started guide but nothing more – you're apparently expected to read the code if you want anything beyond just very basics. In many cases, a quick search of their issues brings up numerous questions that are related to confusion over how a feature works or is intended to be used.
All in all, this creates a frustrating and often needlessly time consuming experience for the developer choosing to use the project (I know it did for me). Even the sheer number of options is costly by creating a choice overload that can even make the process of choosing the right option stressful and prone to failure.
The point is, many of these projects are costing the very developers they intend to help valuable time and needless frustration.
I should be clear that I am not blaming GitHub for this problem (though one could argue that they do encourage the behavior). I also do think that sharing your code is, in general, a noble effort. But we've perhaps glorified it to the point that we're now a "share first, ask questions later" community.

Developers' skill levels and proficiency are often judged by the sheer number of public projects they have. Beyond just the admiration of their peers, this can even impact their ability to land a job.
I work for a startup and we look at github before anything else. Basically we look for any 'full' projects, so someone at least knows how complex even a small side project can be.
braunshaver via Reddit
By looking at one's Github repositories, you can almost immediately tell if he's an expert or beginner of a specific field. Also number of repositories, frequency of contributions activities and maybe number of followers/followings can also reflect how passionate the owner is about programming.
This culture that pressures people to share more is creating a growing problem.
As of February 2016, GitHub reported over 12 million users and over 31 million repositories. If every user actually created a repository (which is highly unlikely), you'd still end up at close to 3 repositories per user. My guess is that a substantial majority of these are public, meaning that there are somewhere in the tens of millions of public repositories.
Recent surveys indicate that there are somewhere around 11 million professional developers in the world. Including non-professionals bumps the number to 18 million. Even if less than 60% of the total repositories are public, we'd still have a public repository for every professional or non-professional developer in the world. In my opinion, this indicates that we've clearly overshot the target on code sharing.
By taking the time to document a project before releasing it, you answer a number of important questions about your project – most importantly, why anyone outside of yourself would need it. What problem does it solve? Who is the target audience (ex. what skills are needed to use it)? And even, what do I hope to gain by sharing this and how committed am I to maintaining it for the community?
Look, I admit, I have been guilty of this too. But, together, perhaps we can clean up our mess. Here's what I suggest as fixes.
(Feel free to share your own suggestions in the comments.)
So (as Mike Jang pointed out in his Fluent 2016 session) if your project is one of the many projects whose documentation literally says "read the code" or one of the millions of others that have little to no documentation – we appreciate your good intentions, but let's fix this problem together.

For some time now, I've been a fan of the "Liberal Logic 101" page on Facebook. Considering just how hypocritical most liberals can be (need I remind anyone that I get plenty of hate from liberals for being a lesbian who is politically conservative?), it's hard not to smile at the sarcasm of some of their posts. On my profile, I describe myself thus: "I am the flag-waving, gun-toting, tea-partying American badass with a genius IQ that your hippie friends warned you about. I stole your girlfriend while you were banging on drums at the Occupy Wall Street camp."
Yesterday the moderators at LL101 posted another word pic that said, "When a Christians [sic] says homosexuality is sin it's not hate; it's one wounded person telling another wounded person that he's found a hospital that can treat those wounds." I didn't attack anyone (I never do). I was absolutely respectful in my response. I told them that I'm not willing to call it hate and I completely respect their rights to believe that my sexual orientation is a sin, but I disagree with their beliefs about it.
I was immediately attacked. A few minutes later, my comments were removed and I was banned from the page.
I'm not going to cry about my First Amendment rights. Those rights are meant to protect me from the government, not from other law-abiding citizens (no matter how childish they may be). They have every right to ban me. I will tell them and their true believers, though, that their social conservatism is a huge part of the problem in America right now, and they're giving all conservatives a bad name.
YOU PEOPLE are the reason why gay liberals lash out at me for "aligning with my oppressors." You're not conservatives – you're social extremists. You are the reason Romney lost the election. You refused to get out and vote for him because he wasn't socially-minded enough for you. He wasn't willing to make his stance against abortion and gay marriage the most important part of his platform. Now we're stuck with the President from hell, a guy who appoints people to the IRS and the DoD who openly attack our basic rights and destroys not only our economy but our image on the world stage as the one country you shouldn't screw around with.
You are no better than the liberals you claim to dislike. You say you want limited government, but you want to push laws that give the government more power over personal moral issues? How is that limiting government? The instant you ask the government to start moralizing, you fling the door open for the other side (in this case, the liberals) to do the exact same thing. Liberals make the same excuse that you make: "it's just WRONG!" If your only excuse for supporting or not supporting a law is your religious views, chances are you should reevaluate your motives. The Constitution doesn't support the passage of laws that are based purely on religious dogma – whether that dogma is Christian, Catholic, Mormon, or Muslim.
The most ridiculous thing I frequently hear from social conservatives is, "if we don't stop the gay rights movement, G-d will give up on America!" Yes, social conservatives really do believe this sort of thing. We are one of VERY few nations that is closely allied with Israel and we have afforded Jews – G-d's chosen people, in case you missed it – more protection and freedom than any other nation in the world, but somehow they've come to the conclusion that the gay rights movement is going to be G-d's final straw. Israel is literally the only gay-friendly nation in the Middle East and G-d hasn't stopped protecting them (at least if you see it from a spiritual perspective), so I have to ask, where are you guys getting this ridiculous belief that America will fall out of G-d's good graces if you show tolerance for gay people?
Your refusal to even engage conservatives like me on what is likely the only issue we disagree on is the very thing that gay liberals point to when they try to make the point that all conservatives are hatemongers. If you don't like that label, then do something to change it. No, it's not hateful to disagree with my sexual orientation. It is hateful to shout me down, call me a pervert, and claim that I am all that's wrong with America just because I'm gay – and then take away my ability to respond.
If you don't want to be labeled a hatemonger, then change the way you treat the people you disagree with. Not all gay people are liberal, but if you wonder why so many ARE liberal, then look no further than your own mirror. I would fight to my last breath for anyone's right to believe that I'm living in sin for being openly gay. No matter how much you may hate me, I don't hate you. That does not mean I will be silent while you attack us.
A mutual friend tried to stand up for me. She felt that her comments might have been part of the reason I had been banned; the moderator un-banned me and said, "Be very careful in the future. Since Facebook punishes Conservatives for responding to Liberals, banning Liberals is the only way to safely maintain a free exchange of ideas." I, naturally, was offended – I told them that I had been nothing but respectful and never attacked anyone despite being attacked myself. I quoted this very post when I told them that it wasn't hateful to disagree, but it was to call me a pervert. I was immediately banned again – this time the excuse was, "in her one and only post-banning comment, she called people names, accused commenters of saying things they did not say and made some insulting broad-sweeping comments about Conservatives and Christians. So she is banned again. Whether or not you call yourself a Liberal or a Conservative, there is a certain level of civilized behavior we expect from people."
I'm sorry, but here's one of the very comments you claim was never made, by a user named Tim George: "It's no coincidence that people who approve of homosexuality don't understand Christianity. There are the rare few out there who are not Christians yet can see homosexuality for the disgusting perversion it is because they're still listening to the moral code written on their hearts by God and not accepting the liberal brainwashing that most people have come to accept." Because I've been banned and don't know who the moderator is, I can't send them a message. They have effectively cut off my ability to defend myself. Every one of my friends who have tried to back me up, no matter how civilized they are, have also been banned. We're all pretty well convinced that I was really banned for having the gumption to hold a mirror to their face.
Calling me an "anti-Christian bigot" for disagreeing ranks right up there with the liberals who call me a racist because I can't stand President Obama. I've gotten death threats from gay liberals for standing up for the rights of Christians. A few years ago, at a PFLAG meeting, a politely disagreed with a member who openly called for "hate speech laws" to shut Christians up – I was asked to leave. This is how I'm repaid. I'm accused of the opposite and shut out of any discourse because someone's pride has been injured.
Stay classy, social conservatives!

Easy DNA Editing Will Remake the World. Buckle Up. | WIREDCrispr or Crispr-Cas9, lets researchers perform cut-and-paste operations on DNA, the hereditary material, with unprecedented ease and precision. Unlike most types of gene therapy, a longstanding approach that aims to alter only adult human tissues that die with the patient, the Crispr technique could be used to change human eggs, sperm and early embryos, and such alterations would be inherited by the patient's children. Because changing the human germ line is perceived to hold far-reaching consequences, the leading scientific academies of the United States, Britain and China issued a joint statement in December asking researchers around the world to hold off on altering human inheritance.A British regulatory agency that oversees reproductive biology, the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority, on Monday approved an application by Kathy Niakan, of the Francis Crick Institute in London, to alter human embryos with the Crispr technique. Dr. Niakan, a developmental biologist, has no intention of implanting the altered embryos in a womb. According to a report in Nature, she will let the embryos expire when they are seven days old and have reached the blastocyst, or implantation, stage. The usual source of such embryos is fertility clinics that have generated more than their clients need.
DNA editing takes a serious step forward -- for better or worse - LA Times - (May 3, 2015)
Using the three-year-old technique, researchers have already reversed mutations that cause blindness, stopped cancer cells from multiplying, and made cells impervious to the virus that causes AIDS. Agronomists have rendered wheat invulnerable to killer fungi like powdery mildew, hinting at engineered staple crops that can feed a population of 9 billion on an ever-warmer planet. Bioengineers have used Crispr to alter the DNA of yeast so that it consumes plant matter and excretes ethanol, promising an end to reliance on petrochemicals. Startups devoted to Crispr have launched. International pharmaceutical and agricultural companies have spun up Crispr R&D. Two of the most powerful universities in the US are engaged in a vicious war over the basic patent. Depending on what kind of person you are, Crispr makes you see a gleaming world of the future, a Nobel medallion, or dollar signs.
The technique is revolutionary, and like all revolutions, it's perilous. Crispr goes well beyond anything the Asilomar conference discussed. It could at last allow genetics researchers to conjure everything anyone has ever worried they would—designer babies, invasive mutants, species-specific bioweapons, and a dozen other apocalyptic sci-fi tropes. It brings with it all-new rules for the practice of research in the life sciences. But no one knows what the rules are—or who will be the first to break them.
In the last few months, many researchers have come to realize that the new gene editing tool, known as CRISPR/Cas9, might provide an easy means for molding a person when he or she is just a single-celled embryo.Genome Editing with CRISPR-Cas9 - YouTube
CRISPR/Cas9 makes it possible for nearly any scientist to edit DNA in nearly any cell. In the last couple of years, scientists have used it to edit genes in adult human cells, including bone marrow cells that may be modified to make people resistant to HIV. Researchers have also used it on animal embryos, including an experiment that proved it was possible to create primates with customized versions of genes involved in immune function and metabolism.
This animation depicts the CRISPR-Cas9 method for genome editing – a powerful new technology with many applications in biomedical research, including the potential to treat human genetic disease. Feng Zhang, a leader in the development of this technology, is a faculty member at MIT, an investigator at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research, and a core member of the Broad Institute.

BEIJING – For all the grief the Obama administration is getting from China for filing a complaint with the World Trade Organization about Chinese tariffs on American chicken exports, perhaps the president should be suing China for royalties instead.
We've seen Obama peddle chicken for Kentucky Fried Chicken in Hong Kong, so it was just a matter of time before he broke loose and got his own franchise here in the mainland.
Obama Fried Chicken, or at least what we assume OFC stands for, was found earlier this week in Beijing and comes with the slogan written underneath in Chinese: "We're so cool, aren't we?"

Russia turning into net exporter of sugar
Once the world's top raw sugar importer, Russia has seriously modified its sugar industry over the last decade. As a result, the production may exceed 6 million tonnes this season, which is four times more compared to the beginning of the century. Export is expected to reach a record 500,000 metric tonnes.
This season, Russia will become sugar self-sufficient due to the efforts of local producers, considers Bloomberg. Supported by an import tax, effective for foreign suppliers since 2004, Russian producers, such as Rusagro Group, Prodimex and Dominant Group, have made significant investments in boosting their plants' efficiency. Besides, higher domestic prices have encouraged farmers to increase plantings. Thus, the country will probably export ''considerably'' more than it imports in the 2016-17 season, according to the forecast by the International Sugar Organization (ISO). The organisation's Senior Economist Sergey Gudoshnikov estimates the export to reach 500,000 metric tonnes.
As global white sugar prices surged by about 40% in 2016, the competitiveness of Russian supplies to neighbouring countries have increased, believes Evgeny Ivanov, an analyst at the Moscow-based Institute for Agricultural Market Studies (IKAR). Nonetheless, IKAR gives a modest export forecast of 180,000 tonnes. Russia exports sugar mostly to Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Mongolia.
Even if the ISO's forecast comes true, the Russian export will be only a fraction of the global total. The largest raw sugar producer is Brazil, it accounts for about 25 million tonnes a year. In the next season, world output will probably surpass demand by about 2 million tonnes, considers F.O. Licht GmbH.
As for Russia, its production will reach a record 6,1 million tonnes this season, according to the Russian Union of Sugar Producers. Head of the Sugar Division of Rusagro Group Nikolai Zhirnov says that reducing losses during processing was one of the key production improvements. At one of the group's plants, the capacity has increased more than twice since 2004.
Additional investment in farming techniques is another growth driver. ''Although there is potential for Russia to carry on being sugar self-sufficient, a lot depends on improvements in farming to prevent the beet crop sensitivities to weather,'' warns Kona Haque, head of research at London-based trader ED&F Man Holdings Ltd. In Russia, cold weather can shorten the beet-processing campaign.
There's always the potential for Russian farmers to expand planting, considers Tracey Allen, an analyst at JPMorgan Chase & Co. in London. ''Is it a game changer? Certainly the rapid increases that we have seen in Russia provided more available supplies within the region.''

Kristen Bell Continues to Stretch as an Actress
By Dustin Rowles | Industry | April 14, 2009 |
By Dustin Rowles | Industry | April 14, 2009 |
It's good to see that Kristen Bell, since "Veronica Mars" ended its run (relive that pain, folks), has been really diversifying her roles, deftly showing her range. Last year, she starred in the romantic comedy, Forgetting Sarah Marshall. In August, she stars in the romantic comedy When in Rome, and she recently finished filming a romantic-comedy with Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau, Couples Retreat.
Up next? A romantic comedy. Apparently, Bell is chasing that Meg Ryan dream. Of course, we all know how that ended -- Meg Ryan became the third blowfish.
Bell will star in You Again, which sounds as lightweight and frothy as the other romantic comedies she's starring in, although lacking in any of that modest subversiveness that made Sarah Marshall so winning. In You Again, Bell finds out her brother is marrying the girl who made her high-school years miserable. She then sets out to show her brother his fiancee's true colors.
There are two possible endings to that scenario. If it's the bad formulaic movie I expect, Bell will realize that the fiancee isn't so bad, and they'll become BFFs by the end of the flick. However, if it's a better film than we could possibly hope for, Bell will sabotage her brother's engagement by hooking up with his fiancee. A lot. On bearskin rugs. And in the backseat of Volkswagons.
Andy Fickman, who directed The Game Plan, The Race to Witch Mountain, She's the Man and Who's Your Daddy, is attached to direct You Again, so you can pretty much guarantee the Kristen Bell lesbian version is fairly unlikely.

digits: Obama Hosts Twitter Town Hall
President Barack Obama will field questions from Twitter on Wednesday in a Twitter-themed Town Hall at the White House. Good thing his answers aren't limited to 140 characters, though: one of his answers at the Facebook Town Hall was over 8,000 characters long, according to the WSJ.

US PRESSES NATO FOR BOSNIA ACTION The United States pressed its NATO allies yesterday for tougher action in Bosnia, including more airstrikes against the Bosnian Serbs if they continue to flout UN demands and attack peacekeepers. Officials at a two-day meeting of alliance defense ministers in Seville, Spain, said US Defense Secretary William Perry appealed at the opening session for NATO to back a swift and heavy response. Although some allies agree with the US drive for a tougher line, others say it must be left to the United Nations to decide. UN officials have an effective veto over airstrikes in Bosnia, and they have been reluctant to use force, fearing reprisals against lightly armed peacekeepers and more conflict. US economic growth
The US economy grew at a strong 4.1 percent annual rate in the spring, but most of the expansion was from a large buildup in unsold goods that is expected to lead to slower growth, the government said yesterday. The Commerce Department a month ago estimated that gross domestic product increased at a 3.8 percent rate in the April-June quarter, and yesterday's upward revision was more than many analysts expected. But the department said most of the change came from an additional $3.9 billion in inventory investment, primarily farm cattle. Meanwhile, new home sales unexpectedly shot up 9.7 percent in August, the biggest jump in 11 months. N.Y. police corruption
The cloud of corruption over the nation's largest police department darkened again as 14 more officers sworn to uphold the law were accused of breaking it. So far this year, 29 officers - about 25 percent of the 30th precinct's patrol force - have been implicated in a sweeping corruption probe. The precinct covers the Harlem section of Manhattan.
Malaysian haze worsens
Schools and colleges would be shut and public holidays may be declared if a blanket of haze covering many parts of Malaysia worsens, a government minister said yesterday. Forest fires in neighboring Indonesian islands of Kalimantan and Sumatra are believed to have caused the gray smoky haze that has hung over Kuala Lumpur and other parts of Malaysia for the past two months. The haze is also lingering over Singapore and Brunei.
A GOP primary loss
Rep. David Levy of New York is the first Republican incumbent to lose a congressional primary election this year. The official count announced Wednesday gave Dan Frisa a 54-vote edge over the first-term congressman. Mr. Frisa, a former assemblyman, is expected to face Democrat Philip Schiliro, who lost narrowly to Mr. Levy two years ago.

13TH STREET "Last Call – The first interactive Movie (Software by Powerflasher)
Last Call is the first interactive horror movie in the world where the audience is able to communicate with the protagonist. A film controlled by a member of the audience, thus blurring the boundaries between game and film. Language recognition software transforms the participant's answers via mobile phone into specific instructions. A specially developed software then processes these commands and launches an appropriate follow-up scene. The dialogue between the movie's main actress and an audience member leads to a different film – and outcome – every time: sometimes with a happy end, sometimes with a more gruesome one. To participate in the adventure, audience members submit their mobile phone numbers to a speed dial code when they buy their ticket. The moment the female protagonist takes out her phone to call someone who might be able to help her, the film's controlling software contacts one of the submitted mobile phone numbers. Once the viewer picks up, he hears the actress's voice – who tells him she would be lost without him. He has to help her escape by choosing a path through the old, rundown sanatorium. Furthermore, he also decides whether she should help other victims to flee the scene -and every single choice shapes her fate: it's a matter of life and death.
13th Street Last Call is made by Jung von Matt/Spree (Idea), Film Deluxe (Film), nhb (Sound), Telenet (IVR), AixVox and Powerflasher (Software).
