Brazil, known for its huge increase in soybean production in the last decade, is now our main competitor in the global meat export market. In the last decade, Brazilian soybean production has jumped from 24.7 million metric tons (MMT) to a projected 66 MMT in 2005.
This 267% growth in production is small compared to the 1,310% growth in pork exports. And since 1995, broiler exports are up a staggering 444%.
Brazil's population has increased 13% in the last 10 years and domestic demand is improving for pork and beef. The Brazilian GDP is increasing by 3.5-4.3%.
Brazilian President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva was elected on a populist platform and is working hard to improve the quality of life in Brazil. For many low income Brazilians, that means providing better living conditions, better housing and more food in a nation that grows a lot of everything.
Major policy changes are responsible for the rapid growth in Brazilian agriculture and its exports of ag products. In the 1980s Brazil's economy suffered under an industrialization policy that diverted ag profits and government funds to ill-fated government-owned manufacturing plants.
In the early 1990s Brazil changed its development policy to one of encouraging increased ag production, ag exports and increased employment in rural areas. Meat exports, in particular, were seen as a way of adding to the value-added export menu of products.
This policy change has been a spectacular success. Brazil has developed into a huge, dominant force in the global markets of soybeans, cotton, coffee, pork and broilers.
Inflation is now under control, the GDP is up and the country's currency, the real, is stable. The real has improved significantly even in the last 12 months, which may limit the growth of Brazilian soybean production in 2005.
The growth in the meat sector in the last decade has been in the southern provinces. The states of Parana', Santa Caterina, Rio Grande do Sul and Saão Paulo represent less than 10% of the Brazilian land mass. That area accounts for 37% of the population and provides for 70% of the nation's poultry production, 49% of pork production and 26% of beef production.
The problems Brazilian farmers are experiencing now sound familiar to those of U.S. farmers.
First, the strong currency this year has taken away much of Brazil's initial export advantage in global markets. Second, higher price inputs and rising interest rates are reducing bottom line profits and third, environmental concerns are making expansion of livestock facilities more difficult.

Team India's report card: Dhoni, Kohli impress in depressing series
Team India suffered a humiliating 4-0 drubbing from New Zealand in the just-concluded ODI series. While the batting failed to live up to expectations, the bowling left a lot to be desired. Harish Kotian looks back at the performance of the players.
India were consigned to their second straight overseas series defeat after being thrashed by 87 runs in the fifth One-Day International On Friday. The defeat in Wellington completed a 4-0 series whitewash by the Kiwis.
Coming into the series as the No. 1 ranked team in ODIs, the World champions were expected to have it easy over New Zealand. However, it was the other way around and the tourists' misery overseas continued.
Before coming to New Zealand India lost the three-match ODI series in South Africa 0-2. While the team suffered embarrassing defeats in the first two matches there, losing by 141 and 134 runs in Johannesburg and Durban respectively, the third ODI was washed-out.
India had lost 2-5 to New Zealand in a seven-match ODI series in 2002-03. The last time they failed to win even a single match in New Zealand was in 1975-76 and 1980-81, when they lost two-match series' 0-2.
So what went wrong?
Simply put, the batting and bowling failed big time. Save the tied match in Auckland, they had nothing to show for their efforts.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni's lacklustre captaincy is cause for concern. Already there are doubts about whether he is still the right man to lead India with a year to go for the World Cup.
A look at how India's players fared in the just-concluded ODI series.

Dhoni delivered with the bat... but failed as captain
Mahendra Singh Dhoni (7/10)
Though Mahendra Singh Dhoni had a good series with the bat, his poor captaincy was one of the main reasons for India's poor showing in the five-match series.
His approach was termed 'stubborn' by some noted critics as he refused to change tactics despite failing time and again.
Strangely, he opted to play two frontline spinners and elected to bowl on four occasions. Even when Ravichandran Ashwin looked off colour, he refused to bring in leg-spinner Amit Mishra, who warmed the bench for eight consecutive ODIs since the series in South Africa.
Dhoni scored 272 runs in five matches, at an average of 68, but never did he threaten to run away with the match.
It is only because of his consistent batting that he gets a higher rating.

Kohli was consistent yet again
Virat Kohli (8/10)
Virat Kohli is the only Indian player who can hold his head high despite the team's disastrous showing.
He aggregated 291 runs, at an average of 58, including a century and two fifties. Mostly, In all the matches, he came in when the team was in a spot of bother and rallied it from precarious positions.
Batting at No. 3, he had a difficult task throughout the series because of the poor performance of the openers . Nevertheless, the talented right-hander deliver under pressure. Sadly, there was no other batsman to complement him.
Kohli also did a decent job with the ball. He took just one wicket -- in the fifth ODI – but did well in keeping the runs down, something even the frontline bowlers were unable to do.

Rohit continued his poor run away from home
Rohit Sharma (3/10)
Rohit Sharma continued his poor run away from home. Though pitches in New Zealand did not offer much for the bowlers, and India batted second four times, he Rohit struggled.
In every game he took a while to get going before throwing away his wicket. He was done in by the pressure that built following the slow start.
Rohit could score just 50 in five innings, for a tally of 145, at an average of 29. Rest assured, he still will keep getting more chances!
Shikhar Dhawan (2/10)
How things have changed for Shikhar Dhawan in course of a year. Last year, he was hailed as India's new batting sensation and scored runs aplenty. In New Zealand, the pacers exploited his weakness against short deliveries to the hilt.
Unlike Rohit, Dhawan looked to be positive. He was guilty, however, of wasting good starts, as scores of 32, 12, 28 and nine would indicate. He needs to work on his technique against the short delivery, a tactic every team will surely use against him from now on.
Ajinkya Rahane: (3/10)
Another batsman who failed to live up to his potential. Ajinkya Rahane got an extended run of five straight games at No. 4, but couldn't make most of the opportunity.
He looked good during his innings of 36 in the second match but failed in the rest. At the end of the series he had just 51 runs to show from five innings.

Raina has to blame himself for his dismal showing
Suresh Raina: (2/10)
Suresh Raina has to blame himself for his dismal showing. Having struggled against short bowling for the last few years he still hasn't been able to address the issue.
Out of the three innings he played in, he got out twice to the short deliveries while trying to play cross-batted shots.
Dhoni finally lost his patience with his most trusted lieutenant and dropped him for the last two games. He aggregated just 84 runs in three innings.
Ambati Rayudu: (5/10)
Ambati Rayudu came in to the team at Raina's expense and played a couple of decent innings, but the poor starts by the openers meant he was left with a lot to do.
He played a vital 37 in the fourth match, adding 79 runs for the third wicket with Rohit after a couple of early wickets, but scored only 20 in the last match before succumbing to the pressure of the huge run-chase.

Jadeja delivered with the bat...failed with the ball
Ravindra Jadeja: (5/10)
Going by the high standards he has set himself in the last 12 months, it was, without doubt, a poor series for Ravindra Jadeja, at least with the ball.
He fared well with the bat, better than most of his more illustrious teammates, and helped India tie the third ODI with a quickfire 66 from 45 balls.
In the fourth ODI too, he came to India's rescue with the bat, scoring 62 not out from 54 balls.
But it was his below par performance with the ball that hurt India, especially in the middle overs. He finished the series with four wickets from five matches, at an average of 60.
Image: Ravindra Jadeja

Ashwin's bowling was absolutely pedestrian
Ravichandran Ashwin (1/10)
The only noteworthy contribution from Ravichandran Ashwin in the series was with the bat, when hit a timely half-century (65) in the third ODI, helping his team tie the game from a difficult position.
His bowling, however, was absolutely pedestrian and the Kiwi batsmen were able to deal with him easily.
This is easily one of the worst performances by an Indian spinner away from home, as Ashwin claimed just one wicket in five matches, at an average of 277.
How the captain was convinced to play him in all the five matches is beyond anyone's imagination!
Amit Mishra
Amit Mishra must be wondering what he needs to do to break into the team after Dhoni did not even bother to try him out even once despite Ashwin's poor showing.
Even the great Erapalli Prasanna had slammed Ashwin's defensive bowling during the series.
'It's simple. Ashwin lacks the required deception to trouble international batsmen. I would pick Harbhajan ahead of Ashwin in ODIs as he is quicker through the air and bowls flatter which will restrict runs. Ashwin is neither being able to check runs nor take wickets,' he had said.
Image: R Ashwin

Shami ended up with an economy rate of 7.18
Mohammed Shami (5/10)
Mohammed Shami finished as India's top wicket-taker in the series, with 11 victims. Those scalps, though, came at a price.
Despite taking wickets regularly, he was hit for 316 runs in 44 overs and ended up with an economy rate of 7.18.
The Bengal pacer did manage to trouble the Kiwis with his extra pace, but bowled a lot of loose deliveries which proved costly.
This was Shami's second overseas tour after South Africa and one hopes he learns from the experience and improves.
Image: Mohammad Shami
Photographs: Getty Images
Kumar's failure of with the new ball compounded India's problems
Bhuvneshwar Kumar (3/10)
Perhaps, Bhuvneshwar Kumar's failure of with the new ball compounded India's problems in the series.
He was excellent with the new ball on Indian pitches, getting a fair amount of movement, but in New Zealand he simply went blank.
The early breakthroughs that he consistently provided back home failed to materialise and he was hit for a lot of runs in the early overs.
Bhuvneshwar took four wickets in the five games, at an average of 59, never really threatening with the ball.
Ishant Sharma (1/10)
The less said about Ishant Sharma, the better!
One cannot recollect a luckier player than Ishant in Indian cricket; he continues to enjoy the backing of his captain and selectors despite poor performances time and again.
He was used in the first two games despite a poor showing in South Africa and again came a cropper!
The most experienced bowler in the Indian team bowled like a rookie and was hit for 118 runs in the two games at an economy rate of 7.86, but you can be guaranteed he won't get the axe for now.
Image: Bhuvneshwar Kumar celebrates a wicket

Aaron needs to work on his bowling discipline more
Varun Aaron (5/10)
Varun Aaron made a comeback to the team after a long wait of three years, having battled a few injuries.
His extra pace makes him a rare commodity among Indian pacers but he needs to work on his bowling discipline more.
Aaron finished with four wickets in three matches, but went for more than seven runs per over.
Stuart Binny (?)
Well, how could you rate a player who makes his debut and gets just one over in the entire game to show for his efforts?
Stuart Binny came into the team as an all-rounder following good performances for Rajasthan Royals and Karnataka, both with the bat and ball.
But captain Dhoni seemed unimpressed with him, as he gave him just six deliveries in the fourth ODI before relegating him to the bench for the next game.
Surely, there seems to be some gap in communication between the selectors and captain Dhoni. Imagine, Amit Mishra and Ishwar Pandey not being tried for the entire series despite the team getting thrashed time and time again.

Me and my mom made pumpkin cupcakes yesterday.
They are uh-mazing! I am definitely making them for the fall ladies event for The Duvall Church this month.
My little brother wanted to decorate one. So I piped on frosting and gave him all the nuts, coconut, sprinkles, and sugars I had for him to customize his very own.
He called it rainbow blast.
Unfortunately he only took a bite, and then remembered he had chores to do and forgot completely about it.
It's ok, I ate the rest.
I think, when I ever open a bakery shop, I'll let little kids decorate their own cupcakes if they want to. Look at how great they turn out!

Q: Where did my mutations go?
A: MAFs processed by MutSig may have mutations removed for one of several reasons:
Q: Where can I find a copy of the blacklist used in MutSig runs?
A: The blacklist is used to filter out recurrent mutation sites that the MutSig development team found to cause issues with the determination of significance. Because these by nature include germline mutations that may not have been part of available databases at the original generation of the MAF, we are not permitted to release it to the public.
Q: Why does your table of ingested data show that disease type XYZ has N methylation samples?
A: We ingest and support both of the major methylation platforms (Infinium HumanMethylation450 and HumanMethylation27), therefore the entries in our data table give the sum of both. However, as noted in our June 2012 release notes, Firehose does not yet include the statistical algorithms used by TCGA AWGs to merge both of these methylation platforms into a single bolus; until those are shared we prefer

I Just finished up some Father's Day cards for the special Dad's in my life! I'm excited to give them away tomorrow! (And I think I'm completely addicted to shaker cards now. I rarely make a card that isn't a shaker anymore, shakers are just too much fun!)
This card was fast and easy thanks to Queen and Company's Sunburst Foam Card Kit. You just expose the adhesive on the foam, stick it down to the front of our cad, then fill it with any of their awesome toppings. I filled this one with blue Bubbles, Diamonds, and Fimo stars. The top of the foam is also self adhesive and the kit includes an acetate cover that you just stick down on top. So simple!
I added a die cut banner and star as well ass some foam letters to spell out "DAD." Additionally I embellished the front of the shaker with some red Lollies, red and blue Pearls, and white and blue Pinwheels.
This "Super Dad" card was created by using the diamond cut from the Cricut Once Upon A Princess cartridge and layering two different sized diamonds together to create a frame. Then I cut out the shape 10 times and glued each layer together to get enough height for the shaker. Inside the shaker are more blue Bubbles and some lighter blue Diamonds. It's fun to watch them roll around in there as you move the card!
Again, there are some red Lollies, red and blue Pearls, red Twine, and Fimo Stars as embellishments outside the shaker.
Hopefully the super guys in my live will love them!
Thanks for visiting and Happy Father's Day!

We have been wanting to go on a trip together for the longest time. We planned this trip one year ahead and finally the day has come! We were all super excited. It's our first trip together, all the 6 of us. See our happy faces before boarding the flight.
We took Air Asia in the wee hours in the morning, hence the dark sky before sunrise. The night before we were all too excited sampai some did not even sleep a wink*. I myself slept at 9pm and woke up by 1am. We have to be at the airport by 4am to catch the 6am flight. It was all worth it and I will share with you our short little Bangkok trip's adventures.
All getting ready to board. Pandai Miss Goo posing (second from the front)
Up! Up! Here we go! Watching the beautiful sunrise from above the clouds.
What a spectacular view!
First stop - Chatuchak
The last time I flew to Bangkok, I landed at the other airport, the Suvarnahbhumi Airport. But this time I landed at the Don Muang Airport when Air Asia changed its landing airport not too long ago. The difference was that at Suvarnahbhumi Airport you could take the BRT straight out to Bangkok City. At the Don Muang Airport there was no BRT that links us straight to Bangkok City Centre. We had to either take a cab or the bus. For 6 pax, the quote given to us to take a (van) was about 900 Baht. We decided to take the bus which cost is only 30 Baht each. 6 pax only at 180 Baht. We took the bus A1 and it was every 5 mins and took us straight to Chatuchak. We're not complaining.
The bus looks like this and was already waiting for passengers.
Our bus ride was a memorable one for we have not taken a bus together (Well at least not in KL) Selfie time! One of our colleague's luggage with 4 wheels rolled right to the bus driver's front and it startled him. Initially I thought he was cursing, but he turned out to be laughing. The bus driver and conductor was very friendly and helpful. They told us where we could get down.
So, you must be wondering with all these luggages how do we walk around?
Well, my good friend found (through her research) that you can park your luggage at one of the shops inside Metro mall for a small fee. About 20 Baht per luggage only. Hence after leaving our belongings behind we walked Chatuchak for almost 3 hours before calling it quits as our legs began to feel tired and sore from all the walking.
Our Makan Journey in Thailand has begun! We had Tom Yum and Pad Thai.
Enjoying the ice cool Coconut and Mango Ice Cream
Cute hangers spotted at Chartuchak
After walking the Chatuchak we took a cab and all 6 of us crammed into one cab. It was indeed a super memorable moment too. Selfie again!
Lemon Tea Hotel
This was where we stayed, Lemon Tea Hotel in Bangkok.
The front desk with super friendly and attentive staff.
A cosy corner at the lobby.
This hotel is just a stone's throw away from Platinum Mall. From the hotel, it's about 10 minutes walk to Platinum Mall.
This hotel was highly recommended by my gf Jackie and so happen my friends booked here. The hotel is clean and the staff are super friendly. Our check in was hassle free. I would rate this hotel 5 stars!!!! For more info on this hotel log in to their website at http://www.lemonteahotel.com/ You won't regret it!
The view from my room.
This hotel has so many great instagrammable worthy areas.
We were taking photos like crazy. Here are some of the beautiful artistic shots we took.
Macam "SAM PAT"
We went upstairs to have a look at their cafe and such a pretty sight greeted us, with natural lighting so great for shots and with tons of mini cactuses lined up. This is yet another super instagrammable moment.
The below images was another neighbouring hotel. I jumped in and took some photos cause the place is filled with toys! How cute!
And so we made our way to Platinum Mall and here are some sights along the way.
I love how practical their trolley bags are and it's not expensive. Close to 350 Baht each only.
Nearby Cafe cum Hotel minum kopi.
At the porch of the cafe. Nice place to chill.
Jalan-Jalan Cuci Mata Shopping. This Snow White Dress is so cute. I wish I had a darling little daughter now, where I could dress her up.
We travelled around in style. In a tuk tuk with the wind blowing into our faces.
Right across the street was our other friends.
We invaded BIG C
Check out our trolley that's being filled to the max.My friend recommended some salted toothpaste from Colgate and I ended up buying four boxes. I also bought lemon flavoured Darlie toothpaste and lemon flavoured Listerine. When I shop I usually buy things that are unique and I cannot get back at my place. Look what I found! Condensed milk in a tube form and honey too! How convenient!
Honey from 7 Eleven and Teapot is from BIG C.
Cute bread packaging sighted at 7 Eleven. I also bought a lot of balms.
Time for Massage
Plenty of massage near our hotel to choose from and it's always full house. We picked Foot Haven.
And this was my masseur. She was awesome! I hear my bones Clack Clack
My friends were enjoying themselves.
Platinum Mall
Next day we visited and concentrated our shopping at Platinum Mall where they have everything under one roof.
Too cute. I wanna be Sailor Moon.
Inspired by Lady Gaga?
Creative T-ShirtsUhhhhhh I just drool at these. The last time I never get, then regret. So in the end I bought a piece for 350 Baht. Buy 3 at 300 Baht. Guess which one I bought? Hint: Doctor's Helper. Now to think when can I wear this. Hmmm.. Halloween maybe?
Feast your eyes on FOOD! Smacked right outside Platinum Mall are rows of stalls that you can eat till your heart's content! Probably some short term food fair.
Huge hot dogs
More Random Selfie back at the hotel.
Overall it was a short but fun trip!
I had a great time hanging out with them. It was a memorable first outing together.
More trips to come. YEAH! ✌

So out there in the spooky internet world, there is 'Throwback Thursday.' You may also recognize it from #tbt, which took me a while to figure out. Thank you, brain. Today's post is going to be a 'Throwback Tuesday' post.
Not much of a throwback though, since it was just last year when these creepy beauties crawled onto our walls...
This is a great Dollar Store project that Catherine made last year for a Halloween decoration. I still love how classy she made it (great job, sister!). You can have one of these welcoming the little devils to your doorstep on Halloween too for only a couple bucks.
If you decide to welcome any ghouls in to your home this Hallows Eve, make sure you let them know to tread lightly by displaying some miniature fleshless corpses. Again, courtesy of Catherine.
Halloween Banner: OMH
To end on another easy Halloween-y note, the simple and never tiresome Halloween banner. Great for parties and just to remind you to be a happy haunt (forgive me, I go to Disneyland all the time).

This record is it. Imitations," says Lanegan of the record.
It's out on Heavenly Recordings next Monday, September 16, but ahead of that we're excited to host a first play of the album in full.

Anna's question was I am the PM Coordinator at a battery plant - we have our equipment operators perform most basic pm's, such as; draining air line separators, filling air line lubricators, greasing zerk fittings, lubing chains and more. We have been going thru a lot of airline lubricators - everyone messing with the adjustment caps, breaking them off, and of course touching the units with acid soaked gloves.
I have looked all over - even in the equipment manuals, and cannot figure out approximately "how many drops per minute should the air line lubricators be set at?" I understand that each piece of equipment is different and therefore should have different drop rates, however, I cannot find any recommendations anywhere.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Anna
Bill answers... Anna, thanks much for the question. This is info many folks would like, I expect.
You are right. It is difficult to provide an absolute drops-per-minute figure for the oiling rate of a lubricator when every application is different. Things that will affect the lubricating oil quantity are:
I can tell you that in most cases people over lubricate, rather than under lubricate their air devices.
On the top of the lubricator there will be a raised section into the top of which is usually a slotted screw.
Turning that screw adjusts the flow of lubricant into the air line passing through the head of the lubricator.
Look closely at the adjustment screw. It should show you a direction of turn, and then some indication as to which way to turn to increase the oil flow. Usually a + (plus) sign indicates the direction to increase the drips per minnute, or to lessen the drips per minute the direction of turn is usually indicated by a - (minus) sign).
Once you start lubricating a tool or cylinder, you cannot stop as the new lube oil being introduced to the tool or circuit washes out any factory lube that might have come with the component.
If you ever stop lubricating that device, the oil/water/sludge slurry that is always moving through most air lines will dry out between uses of the air component, and you end up with tools that don't run, valves that stick etc.
Reader Jim G. comments: Anna: Most industrial applications only need a few drops every day.
My experience is once a week you should see some lowering movement in the oil level. (in the lubricator bowl)
Adjust the oil drip and fill the lubricator based on this weekly total movement.
If the device being lubricated seems to need more oil, just give the oiler adjustment screw a 1/4 turn, a very small amount, and try to adjust once weekly to the correct amount that the equipment seems to run on best.
For your interest, here is more information about air line lubricators.

You are here
Australia isn't taking the USA likely, especially now as they are right in the middle of a physical World Cup, and have lost to Ireland.
Coaching coordinator David Nucifora said the video analysis of the Ireland came wasn't pleasant.
"It's not pretty viewing," Nucifora said. "It's not the most enjoyable part of the job for the players or the coaches to review those sorts of performances, but you get a lot out of it and that's important."
But the lessons were clear – play better, especially with the USA coming into Wellington with nothing to lose.
Nucifora said he expects plenty of commitment from the Eagles.
" I thing they've shown that already; physical commitment," he said. "They'll throw everything into us, into this match. They've done that in their first two games and we expect nothing less from them. It'll be a tough game."
It's been tough enough already, and the Wallaby players are somewhat dinged up.
"At this point we expect everyone bar Digby (Ioane) to be available for selection on Friday night," said Nucifora. "Obviously the only other one there is David Pocock, to see how he comes along and improves over the next day or two (sore back)."
Ioane isn't too thrilled at having to miss the game with a broken thumb, but he has to think long-term.
"Probably some time this week I'll be taking off the cast and it all
depends on my rehab," the wing said. "Fingers crossed, hopefully I'll make
it for the quarters if we get there. I'm a big believer in things happening
for a reason. I've been through this situation before, so there's no need
to be down about it. I've just got to get fit and come back

Williams sisters golden
Sisters Venus and Serena Williams (Lynwood, Calif.) defeated Spain's Anabel Medina Garrigues and Virginia Ruano Pascual 6-2, 6-0 to win their second gold medal in women's doubles play at the Olympic Green Tennis Center Sunday afternoon. The pair also won gold at 2000 Sydney Olympic Games.

BEIJING -– The Olympic spirit has been broken for James Blake today at the Olympic Green Tennis Centre.
Throughout the tournament the former Harvard standout praised the virtues of what embodied the Olympic spirit. But following today's hard-fought 4-6, 7-5, 11-9 semifinal loss to Chile's Fernando Gonzalez, Blake left losing "a little faith in your fellow competitor."
After holding serve to take s 9-8 lead in the deciding set, the eighth-seeded Blake hit a shot that was headed directly towards the 12th-seeded Gonzalez.
Gonzalez was close to the ball that landed out of bounds. However, it appeared the ball deflected off the handle of the Chilean's racket and then fell out. The umpire ruled that the point in favor of Gonzalez, which enraged Blake.
Blake then raced to the chair umpire to plead his case. Replays show that the ball did graze the racket.
"Yeah, I hit a shot that hit Fernando's racket and then went out," said Blake. "The umpire didn't see that it hit his racket. Playing in the Olympics, in what's supposed to be considered a gentleman's sport, that's a time to call it on yourself. Fernando looked me square in the eye and didn't call it."
Blake out
BEIJING – The Olympic spirit has been broken for James Blake.
During today's hard-fought three-set loss to Chile's Fernando Gonzalez of the semifinals of the Olympic tournament, Blake said Gonzalez violated a code as part of the gentleman portion of the game.
Serving at 8-9 of the final set, Gonzalez avoided a ball that was coming at him on the baseline. In the process, the ball apparently hit his racket a fell out.
The point went to Gonzalez as Blake raced to the chair umpire that the ball had hit the Chilean's racket.
From that point on Blake was rattled and his chance to win his first major tournament ended with Gonzalez advancing to the finals with a 4-6, 7-5 11-9 victory.
Blake was attempting to be the first American to win a gold medal since 1996 when Andre Agassi won title during the Atlanta games.
Blake hadn't beaten Gonzalez in his last six tries, last beating him in 2003 Paris Open

Emerging evidence suggests a decline of ERβ expression in various peripheral cancers and ERβ has been proposed as a cancer brake that inhibits tumor cell growth and proliferation. In the current study, we have identified ERβ5 as the predominant isoform of ERβ in human glioma and its expression was significantly increased in human glioma as compared with non-neoplastic brain tissue. Hypoxia and activation of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) increased ERβ transcription in U87 cells, suggesting elevated ERβ expression in glioma might be induced by the hypoxic stress in the tumor. Overexpression of either ERβ1 or ERβ5 increased PTEN expression and inhibited activation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway; ERβ5 also inhibited the MAPK/ERK pathway. In U87 cells, ERβ1 and ERβ5 decreased cell proliferation and decreased cells in the S+G2/M phase. Our findings suggest hypoxia induced ERβ5 expression in glioma as a self-protective mechanism against tumor proliferation and that ERβ5 might serve as a therapeutic target for the treatment of glioma. We also reported potential association between ERβ expression and outcomes of TMZ or tamoxifen treatment for GBM, which might be of practical clinical values.

2006 Mid-American Conference Tournament Preview
*** 2006 Mid-American Conference Tournament Preview ***
The Sports Network
By Ralph Lauro, College Basketball Staff Writer
FACTS & STATS: Site: First round games at campus sites; Quicken Loans Arena
(20,562) — Cleveland, Ohio (Quarterfinals through Final). Dates: March 6-11.
Television: ESPN2 (Championship Game). Annual: 27th. Defending Champion:
Ohio University.
OULOOK: For the first time since 2002, and for just the second time in school
history, the Kent State Golden Flashes won the Mid-American Conference regular
season crown, posting an impressive 15-3 league record. For its effort, KSU
picked up the MAC Tournament's number one seed. At 12-6 in conference, the
Northern Illinois Huskies won the West Division and nabbed the second seed,
although the Akron Zips and Miami-Ohio RedHawks posted better league records.
The Zips and RedHawks finished the regular season one game behind Kent State
at 14-4 and were given the third and fourth seeds, respectively. The Ohio
University Bobcats will defend their 2005 MAC Tournament title as the fifth
seed, as they posted a 10-8 record, matching that put up by both the Western
Michigan Broncos and Toledo Rockets. The Broncs and Rockets lost out on the
tie-breaker with Ohio and landed the sixth and seventh seeds, respectively.
The Buffalo Bulls grabbed the eighth seed at 8-10, while the Ball State
Cardinals claimed the ninth spot with a 6-12 finish. The Bowling Green Falcons
went just 5-13 during the regular season and claimed the 10th seed, and the
Eastern Michigan Eagles earned the 11th seed by virtue of their 3-15 finish.
The Central Michigan Chippewas round out the field of 12 with their league-
worst 1-17 mark. The top four seeds earn an opening-round bye, while the rest
of the group will be forced to play games on the higher seeded team's campus.
The winner of this event receives an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Top-seeded Kent State won the its fifth MAC East title in the last six years
by posting the league's best record during the regular season. The Golden
Flashes have won nine of their last 11 outings and also own the league's top
overall mark at 22-8. Kent State made four straight MAC Tourney championship
game appearances from 2001-04, going an even 2-2 during that stretch. The
Flashes will take on either Ball State or Buffalo in the quarterfinal round
on Thursday.
The second-seeded Huskies won the West Division and also earned a free pass to
the quarterfinals, where they will await the winner of the Bowling
Green/Toledo matchup. Northern Illinois closed out the regular season with
four straight wins, as it now heads in search of its first league tournament
title since 1982.
Another team that was awarded an opening-round bye is third-seeded Akron,
which is in the midst of one of its best seasons ever. The Zips own the
second-best overall mark in the league at 21-8 and has won 18 straight home
games. Akron, however, has struggled in this event over the years, going just
2-8 all-time.
The fourth and final team to receive a bye in the opening round is Miami-Ohio,
which closed out the regular season by winning nine of its final 10 games. As
the top seed in the tournament last season, the RedHawks made it to the
semifinals before being bounced by Ohio University.
The 2006 MAC Tournament kicks off on Monday with eighth-seeded Buffalo hosting
ninth-seeded Ball State. As the seventh seed in this tourney last year, the
Bulls made a run to their first-ever championship game appearance where they
lost by a point in overtime to Ohio. Buffalo went 11-3 at home during the
2005-06 regular season, including 6-3 against league foes. As for Ball State,
it split a pair of games with the Bulls during the regular season, but went
just 2-7 on the road versus conference foes.
The fifth-seeded Bobcats begin their title defense by hosting 12th-seeded
Central Michigan in the opening round on Monday. Last year, Ohio was the
fourth seed in the tournament, as it won its first postseason crown since
1994. The Bobcats went 12-2 at home during the 2005-06 regular slate and will
have the luxury of hosting a Chippewa club that has dropped 11 of its last 12
outings. Central Michigan, which last won this event in 2003, is a dreadful
1-13 on the road this year.
Seventh-seeded Toledo enters the tournament as one of the hottest teams in the
league and will host 10th-seeded Bowling Green in the opening round. The
Rockets won four straight games and seven of eight overall to close the
regular season, and also own a 13-2 ledger at home. Toledo is in search of its
first league title since 1980. As for Bowling Green, it completely fell apart
down the stretch and brings a seven-game losing streak into the postseason.
The Rockets and Falcons split a pair of bouts during the regular season, each
winning on their home court.
The final game of the opening round features a pair of intrastate rivals as
sixth-seeded Western Michigan battles 11th-seeded Eastern Michigan. The
Broncos swept both games from the Eagles during the regular season and own a
solid 9-4 mark at home. WMU won its lone MAC Tournament title in 2004, while
Eastern Michigan last won this event in 1998.
In terms of the history of this yearly tournament, Ball State has been far and
away the winningest team in the MAC, capturing seven championships and going
an impressive 35-17 in postseason action. The Cardinals last won the tourney
in 2000, when they defeated Miami-Ohio. Eastern Michigan and Ohio University
are next with four championships apiece, while Kent State and Miami-Ohio have
each won three titles. Central Michigan won its second title in 2003, while
Toledo, Western Michigan and Northern Illinois check in with one tournament
championship apiece. Bowling Green has won by far the most games (16) in this
tournament without winning a title, while Buffalo (4-6) and Akron (2-8) have
had the least amount of success in terms of wins.
For the second straight season the field is wide open, as there are at least
six legitimate teams that can win the MAC Tournament. Kent State has to be
considered the favorite coming in as the top seed, although Akron and Miami-
Ohio are just as good. Toledo is the hottest team and could be poised to make
a serious run. The Zips, however, seem to have the most balance at both ends
of the court and they should be able to continue their dream run by winning
their first MAC Tournament title.
Sports Network Predicted Champion: Akron

I was determined to go to the farmer's market, bum ankle be damned.
A crutch under each arm, I tick-clomped, tick-clomped down the sidewalk, following your patient shadow. I stop. You stop. My armpits ache and sweat slides down my forehead.
I will make it to the farmer's market. I will buy a goddamn bundle of radishes.
The world conspired against me a day earlier. It tilted the sidewalk; it dug out a crevice for my foot to slide into. It bucked me bronco-style onto the sidewalk.
I cried when it happened–partly out of pain, but mostly out of self-pity. I'm an active person. It's one of the outlines that defines my shape. And a sprained or twisted or whatever-the-hell ankle is not good for the inevitable malaise I feel when I can't be outside, when I can't move around.
I feel a second (third? fourth?) wind swell within me and I step forward, into your shadow. I prattle at you and laugh at nothing, hysterical with the pain/pity cycling through my brain. You say nothing, but let me chatter. As is your way.
Two more blocks. I see the white canopies. I can smell fried momos and kettle corn.
You try to adjust my crutches and I get snappy. As is my way.
"I can do it myself, thank you."
A sarcastic thank you, and I immediately regret it. You're only trying to help me travel the vast distance between home and vegetables. You didn't have to come along.
"Sorry," I say. "I'm an asshole when I'm injured."
You shrug. "Yeah, kind of."
We laugh. I tick-clomp on.
When we reach the farmer's market, I let out a sigh and feel some of my pain dissipate into a bundle of almandine-colored beets. It's hard to be mad at the world when it gives you treasures from the soil.
The pace is slow here. No stretches of mean, straight sidewalk. I take my time, looking at the green offerings, smelling the basil, eyeing homemade jars of jam that would only sit next to my other jars of unopened homemade jam (but they're so pretty in their jewel tones, posing behind mason jar glass!)
I reach one of the stands and pause to examine a bundle of collard greens. A woman stops at my left side. She's fine-boned and stretches just above five feet; a field of thick gray hair tickles her shoulders. She is leaning on a cane.
We exchange a glance, eyeing each other's walking aids.
"The struggle is real," I say.
She laughs. "The struggle is real."
I tick-clomp on. A sliver of my heart remains tangled in her wild hair.

The first thing that came to mind when we saw the opening level of Kane & Lynch, a third-person shooter from Eidos, was the Michael Man movie "Heat." You play as Kane, a man sentenced to prison. While you're in a prison transport truck you meet a man named Lynch who tells you to cover your head. The car is hit and you're freed by heavily-armed masked gunmen. Well, you're not totally freed, cops are everywhere and the bullets are flying. As you're ushered down alleyways and through abandoned warehouses cops are trying their best to give you a new orifice. When you attempt to demand more info from one of the masked gunmen you get a broken nose for your troubles.
This is quite a way to start a game, and it definitely piqued our interest. As the demo moved along we were shown how the cover system works (just press towards the cover you want to take and Kane will stick to it) but were told that K&L isn't being designed as a "cover game." The use of smoke grenades and tear gas is apparently very important. Smoke grenades provide cover and allow for forward movement while tear gas will often be used against you and your team. Whenever the enemy tosses a tear gas canister in your direction you'd best run out and toss it right back.
Later in the game you'll get to control a group of men. We were told that at one point you'll have as many as 20 guys on your team. You won't control all of them individually. Instead, you'll give out orders to four key guys who will have their own men follow them. So when you have 20 guys on your team, it's really four squads of five. Apparently the order system is very simple, however we didn't see it in detail. The core gameplay will be very much like Freedom Fighters.
It's clear that K&L is going for a much more mature audience. Civilians are at risk and will fall to bullets from both your guys and the cops during fierce shootouts and during the demo the vast majority of the enemies were policemen. The game is also very stylish, using many filters and camera tilts to give you a sense of urgency when injured.
Since the game is set in modern day, you'll have access to real-world weapons. During the demo we say MP5s, M4 carbines and HK USP pistols, as well as hand grenades. Regular uniformed patrol cops as well as SWAT teams will be sent against you during missions and we saw levels taking place both in the streets of America, office buildings and packed night clubs in Japan.
There is also a split-screen co-op mode wherein one player will play as Kane and the other as Lynch. In this mode there will be moments where one player must carry a person while the other defends them, and there will be plenty of opportunities for flanking moves. Other multiplayer modes will be included but the developers aren't ready to release any details just yet. Kane & Lynch is slated to come out for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC in time for the holidays.

Every year a small handful of talented artists is invited to Rocky Mountain National Park, each for a two week Artist-In-Residence Program from June through September. The peace, serenity, and beauty of this special place, inspires their artistic creativity resulting in works of art drawn from nature. Selected by a jury panel of professional artists, these artists represent a variety of artistic disciplines from musicians, writers, sculptors, painters, photographers, poets, and performing artists. During their stays, these artists share their artistic visions in public presentations. While the majority of our artist's public programs will be at Moraine Park Museum on Thursdays at 2:30 p.m., please call the Park at (970) 586-1206 to verify the dates and locations for our artist programs, since they may vary. After their residencies, these artists will donate a fully finished art work to the park.
Artists for 2007:
Paul Miller is a writer from Ft. Collins, Colorado. He is the managing editor and writer for Colorado State Magazine. He is also a freelance writer. According to Mr. Miller, he believes places like Rocky Mountain National Park can transform the soul. For his residency project he plans to reflect and write on the role our natural world can play in helping to heal people's psyches. He also hopes to include the legacy of William Allen White as part of his future writings. His writing is informative, real, and absolutely outstanding. One member of the jury panel commented, "I hated it when I finished reading his work, I just wanted to keep on reading – it was so terrific." Mr. Miller will be at Rocky August 19 through September 1, 2007.
Kevin Traynor, composer and pianist, is currently from Overland Park, Kansas. He grew up in Dublin, Ireland and emigrated while in his 20's to complete his doctoral work. Mr. Traynor's compositions are inspired from the natural world. His music is beautifully soothing and uplifting.

A four-year-old Saudi boy died in a swimming pool at a plush resort in Kerala's famed Kumarakom tourist spot, police said on Friday. A police officer told IANS on condition of anonymity that an inquest took place at the Kottayam Medical College Hospital. "The incident occurred on late Thursday evening. The real cause of the death is being probed," said the officer.
The boy was in a baby pool and his father was at the pool for adults when the incident occurred. The boy's father told the media that there was an electricity leakage in the pool and that might have caused the death.
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."

So far, from what I've read, this book is the perfect companion to Close Up At A Distance, which I recently blogged about. The View from Above is much more influenced by French theory, especially Lefebvre, but it contains the following quote that gives some idea of what is to come:
"...the view from an airplane was crucial for connecting the 'social' with the 'spatial.' Yet...Henri Lefebvre...expressed much suspicion of the aerial perspective, calling it the 'space of state control.' In contrast to qualitative research methods, such as personal interviews with residents, quantitative methods such as cartography and aerial photography only served to 'flatten' the complexity of social life."
As we have come to know in GG3090 there is no neat way to separate qualitative and quantitative methods. They are best used in conjunction with each other as another way of triangulating. With qualitative GIS coming online, this book will take that 'final' step, the sensitive one of beginning to allow the quantitative into critical social theory. Aerial photographs, with their aesthetic properties and immanently measurable qualities, might be just the way to go.

In 1973, two years after President Nixon declared a "war on drugs," New York Governor Rockefeller passed the toughest drug laws in the nation. The notorious Rockefeller Drug Laws demanded mandatory sentences for people convicted of drug law violations, while removing the Judge's power to consider each case individually. They also turned New York's prisons into merciless machines, destroying families and lives, and locking up tens of thousands of first-time offenders, many addicted to drugs. Eventually these laws became the template for the federal government's draconian sentencing laws passed in the 1980s that imprisoned millions of Americans with mandatory minimum sentences.
In 1985, I made the biggest mistake in my life – and it cost me my freedom, my soul, and my humanity. Because I was desperate for cash I was convinced by a bowling teammate to get involved with a drug deal. In exchange for $500, I transported an envelope containing 4 ounces of cocaine from the Bronx to Mt. Vernon, NY. To my surprise I walked into a police sting operation where 20 undercover cops were waiting for me. I did everything wrong and was convicted and sentenced to 15 years-to-life under the Rockefeller Drug Laws. I served 12 years in a maximum security prison until I was granted executive clemency by Governor George Pataki in 1997.
Upon my release, I struggled with my newfound freedom and realized that the freedom I fought so long and hard to win was not what I imagined it would be. The way of life I once knew was gone, along with my friends and support base. I discovered I was quite alone in a new world that had drastically changed. But I could not forget those I left in prison and decided to go on a rescue mission to save them and change the laws that had imprisoned me.

Just a handful of days after Google cut the price of the Nexus 4 by $100, the phone has once again gone out of stock on the Play Store. While many of us have flashbacks to the stocking issues that hindered the device's launch, the store page prominently says to "please check back soon" for more inventory. But word is that the 8GB model may actually never come back in stock.
Sources tell The Verge that Google doesn't plan to restock the lower-capacity handset, and that as stock dwindles down in different markets they will be the last 8GB models sold. Right at this moment the 16GB model for the newly-lowered $249 price tag is still on sale, but at this point we have to wonder if it won't soon hit the same fate as the 8GB model.
Naturally this stokes the rumor fire about a new Nexus device in the pipeline, as the October-November timeframe is usually when Google announces its new phones. We'll be keeping a close eye on this one, and if you still want a Nexus 4 in your life, you're probably best off snagging a 16GB model here soon.

Buyer's Guidelines
As an investor or end user planning to look for property in DDA's proposed L Zone,there are some key things that one needs to keep in mind.
- Under the plan, there are two categories of buyers – land buyers and home buyers. The land owners must read the land pooling policy in detail and buy land that falls under the residential zone.
- The home buyers, including individual investors who are taking interest in the real estate market here should make sure that the developer has the necessary approvals. "When it comes to home buyers, it's an early investment one is making and should know that land pooling policy has been approved by the Gazette Notification no. 2076 dated 6th Sep 2013, but process of surrender and approval of individual project is yet to happen.
- As the L Zone is in the early stages of planning, you might be able to get the benefit of a first-comer, but there are a few things that one needs to take into account.
- As per the Master Plan 2021, any individual investor can buy land but one must ensure to do a race of the area prior to investment. The buyer must read and understand the land pooling policy as well.
- A home buyer must know that the land pooling policy has just been notified and is not yet operational. Therefore, it may take some time for the developers or group housing societies to receive land from DDA for further development.
- An individual must authenticate the market reputation of the developer and should also verify the credential of the organization owners along with their past project deliveries.
- It seems to be the right time to invest in L Zone under the DDA Master plan 2021 but the buyer should keep in mind that it may take some time for the actual implementation of the plans on ground by the authority. So, if you are investing right now then there should be a willingness to wait for some years for the investment to grow.

Rome police evict refugee squatters from square
Police in Rome use water cannon on refugees who have been protesting their eviction from an office building where they lived for five years. David Doyle reports.
Police turn water cannon on refugees in Rome. And the refugees fight back with sticks. These people were evicted from an office building they were squatting in on Saturday. Since then around 100 refugees, mostly Eritreans who have been granted asylum, have been camped out in this square. The area littered with mattresses, broken chairs and trash bags holding their belongings. Rome has no state-run shelters for refugees after they have been through the asylum process, forcing many to sleep rough or squat to find a home. The refugees had lived in the office building for five years, a block away from Rome's main train station. Police said in a statement that the refugees had gas canisters, some of which they had opened, and that officers were hit with rocks, bottles and pepper spray. They added that the group had refused lodgings offered by the city. Migration is dominating the political agenda in Italy ahead of elections early next year. Almost 600,000 have arrived in Italy over the past four years, to a country where public opinion is increasingly hostile to migrants.

During writing time, I prepared them really well. We went over the writing process of an informative piece of writing and what it entailed. (Quick shout out to my best bud, Angelica Sandoval) And during their spring break, they completed their animal reports. I must say, they turned out FAN-TAS-TIC!!
Ha! I love my little kiddos! They all made their presentations. Presentation rules were:
1. Introduce your animal,
2. Give 3 facts about your animal, and
3. Say one fun/interesting fact.
In the end, my students expressed how fun it had been making their reports. And because we also worked on reports during Black History month, my students have gotten used to that "portfolio" format. Later a student asked what we were going to do a report on next. I told him, "Rocks!"

Italian distributor BIM Distibuzione has issued a statement apologising for the recent "12 Years a Slave" posters which have caused quite a bit of controversy over the holiday break.
The one-sheets effectively portrayed Brad Pitt and Michael Fassbender as the stars of the movie, despite the fact that they had small supporting roles. The main star, Chiwetel Ejiofor, was relegated to a corner.
Following claims of racism, Summit Entertainment issued the statement: "Summit Entertainment is investigating and taking immediate action to stop the distribution of any unauthorized posters and to have those posters currently in the marketplace recalled," said the statement.
BIM has now released their own: "We apologize for creating and releasing unauthorized posters for '12 Years A Slave' in Italy featuring Brad Pitt and Michael Fassbender in a manner inconsistent with approved advertising materials. All inappropriate materials have now been withdrawn. We are very proud of the film and regret any distraction this incident may have caused."

He believed he could stuff his soul into the left front pocket of the green flannel shirt he'd stolen from the Goodwill just over a week ago. He would place the business end of the metal tweezers into his left ear, easing them in until his right ear could hear him screaming, and then quickly remove what must be his soul, and drop it, tweezers and all, into the pocket. His soul would then creep back into his ear at night while he slept, causing him such great anguish that his dreams turned to dying.
He made an attempt to keep his soul from leaving his shirt by placing a broken Pez dispenser in the pocket, hoping the soul would bond with the object and remain dormant. It did not work. More drastic steps were taken. One evening, he pricked his finger and proceeded to stain a white handkerchief red with his blood. After an hour of droplets, the cloth was nearly all red. He let it dry for a bit and then folded it neatly and placed it carefully into his soul pocket. That night there was no anguish and no dying. That morning, the handkerchief was white again.
Ten nights and ten sore fingers went by. He had stopped eating. He drank tap water from a sponge in the dark on his bean bag chair. His fingers were dry. His soul grew to the point where he could almost see it darting around in his shirt pocket. He knew it was a matter of time. He took the shirt to the Goodwill and hung it on the rack, leaving a spotty red and white handkerchief in the pocket. He left the store; his soul; his blood; his dreams. He was sure he would not live another minute.

Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Language and Human Nature was first published in 1977 as After Metaphysics: Toward a Grammar of Interaction and Discourse and was reissued under the present title in 1985.Language, in Western thought, is the major metaphor for all that we consider truly and uniquely human. It is what separates us from other species and makes human society possible. Language has been taken to be an aspect of the mind -- the seat of logic, rationality, and objectivity; study of language has focused on its formal aspects -- structure and grammar. In recent years, language has come to seem an independent object, unconnected to either our bodies or the world around us. In Language and Human Nature, Harvey Sarles challenges those views of language; his aim is to explore the foundation of the concept of language and to suggest alternative ways of thinking about both language and what is human in human nature.The subjects of these fourteen essays range from the unexamined assumptions embedded in the academic discipline of language study, to the dynamics of facial expression, to the question of whether an extraterrestrial being could discover human language; but two themes emerge: First, the Western notion of language historically has been used to justify or defend particular political, religious, and metaphysical theories. Its use as the definition of âhumannessâ has profound implications for our relations with those excluded -- other species, and humans with impaired language ability. Second, the focus on the mind has led to a narrow definition of language that ignores the enormous communicative power of the body. Recognition of the bodyâs role allows language to be defined more broadly as communication and interaction. The reification of language in the traditional approach, Sarles argues, has severely limited research and has led to static formulations of linguistic and social problems.Language and Human Nature was first published in 1977 (as After Metaphysics: Toward a Grammar of Interaction and Discourse); since then the deficiencies of formal language study have become apparent, and important new research has expanded our knowledge of complex animal communication patterns. The door is now open to different approaches that require the reexamination and reworking of old assumptions. These provocative essays, with a foreword by William C. Stokoe and a new preface by the author, offer one route to a new and more fruitful science of communication.

This dilemma seems to come up a lot (even at our wedding). Thanks to the Emily Post blog, Etiquette Daily, we have our answer…
Q: What is the proper seating at the church and reception for a wedding with one set of parents divorced? The groom's parents are a couple and the bride's parents are divorces, both with other partners.
A: When parents are divorced, the mother of the bride or groom most usually is seated in the front row or pew either alone or with her spouse or a companion of her choice. Members of her immediate family are seated behind her, and the father is seated three or so rows back with his spouse, alone, or with a companion of his choice. At the reception, divorced parents are not seated at the same table. Rather each "hosts" his or her own table of friends/relatives. Divorced parents should not be treated as a couple, including in photographs. It is fine for the bride to have a picture taken with her father alone, and her father and stepmother, if he is remarried; and another with her mother alone, and her mother and stepfather, if she is remarried. But, if the bride feels that she would like to have a photograph with both of her birth parents together for sentimental reasons, this is also perfectly acceptable.

Verisign is the world's leading provider of security certificates used to encrypt data and personal information on the internet. Verisign sells two versions of its SSL security certificates, Secure Site and Secure Site Pro. The Secure Site certificate is advertised as being capable of encrypting data only at a 40-bit level which is considered "encryptionally weak" in the industry. The Secure Site Pro is advertised as encrypting data at 128-bit, a level defined by the industry as "encryptionally strong." Verisign sells its Secure Site Pro certificates for approximately $500.00 more than the Secure Site certificates. The lawsuit claims that Verisign falsely advertises its security certificates. Since early 2000, the two certificates have provided the same 128-bit encryption for the vast majority of internet users.
The case will be the first of many more to come given the burgeoning internet security industry and tremendous growth of online transactions. "Our security and personal privacy are serious matters," stated one of the lawyers working on the case. "People should not be taken advantage of by experts in the field who should know better."
Security breaches and theft of personal information have been a concern to the federal government, business and consumer groups. Other similar suits seeking class action status have been filed around the nation. The suit against Verisign is the first of its kind to be granted court approval to proceed as a class action.
The lawsuit is open to any business that used VeriSign to incrypt data and personal information on their website.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I, as a first year university student with a disability, learn to be an effective self-advocate with professors, tutors and other students at my school?
There are many ways to be a good self-advocate at the post-secondary level. First and foremost, you must believe that you are worth all that you desire. Maintaining good self-esteem will help you build positive relationships with others. Second, be proactive. Ask for accommodations early and follow the proper procedures to receive your accommodations. Third, join a disabled students group on campus that can help guide you in being a good self-advocate. Also, volunteering your time to a worthwhile cause or organization can be fulfilling. Find an organization that can help you build self-esteem, and that teaches you the assertiveness and confidence that will be crucial when asking for accommodations at school.

That entire hullabaloo.
I have been all over the internet looking for place to put on my blog and now I finally found my home.
I am Joy and I've been a writer since I was in grade school. Back then we mostly wrote with pencil and pen and have stacks or notebook full of doodles, ideas, thoughts and unfinished novels. It was also in grade school when I first fell in love with fashion; the scrunchies, tights, rompers and high pig tails. It was the time I got my first Dr. Martens and ignored it; biggest regret. Ha-ha! It was also the time I started sketching and since then I've always wanted to be a Fashion Designer, designing stunning gowns that people would wear. In my mind I wanted people to wear my creation, flaunt it, brag about it, that's what I wanted until now. I'm staying positive about it, I know I can still be a Fashion Designer, by the way my hands are getting kinda' rusty. Better sketch something soon! I also love dressing up, taking pictures of my outfit and posting it online, given my full-figured look; I know I'm not the most modelesque person you can see but please bear with me. :)
I'm also a nurse, graduated from a known nursing school in Manila. I haven't been successful yet in that part. It's pretty hard competing for one job and there are a million applicants just like you. I don't really know right now where I wanted to be. I had a lot of missed opportunities since I got my license; I asked myself whether this is really for me... and I haven't found the answer yet. Right now I'm living in Thailand, hoping to find myself and to not get lost in the process.
I have a very loving family, crazy yet very loving. I love them more than anything! I'm grateful for them for all the support, love and understanding. And I also have a loving boyfriend, crazy like my family too... crazy for me of course! Ha-ha! <3
Me and my sister are about to launch an online store this mid-year and I wish ourselves all the luck in the world! I really hope this is my calling! :)

I've been working on some promotional images
for a new product line I'm working on for Yo Yo Pretties,
and while these items aren't quite ready to make their debut
I just couldn't leave these images floating on my desktop a minute longer.
Besides today is my last day as a blond,
so I best share my current look
(minus about an inch of dark roots).
now before you all start saying
"stay blond" like the rest of my family.
I actually went blond with the intention of going pink
but now with IVF coming up
I want to be my natural color
so that I don't have to mess with colorings
during pregnancy
If you're just jumping into my blog
this is my dear friend Tara.
Sometimes I'm not sure why she puts up with my crazy antics
but I'm sure glad she does!
I can't wait to finally get these clips in the shop...
but unfortunately time is never on my side these days...
but I swear they will be available in just a short 2 weeks.
Normally I do pretty well in front of the camera,
but with Tara and my Mother-in-law in tow
I was a bit too excited and giddy...
and so most of my pictures were a total disaster.
But I love this one with my cheesy happy smile!!!
Thankfully Tara had her act together!
Tara was actually the one who came up with the design for the shoot.
Her AMAZING shoes were the inspiration for the clip design.
I couldn't believe she would trek through the countryside with these beauties.
If they were mine I would certainly be to scared
to even take them out of their box.

Houston, P. and Suli, Endre (2001) hp-Adaptive discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods for first-order hyperbolic problems. Technical Report. Unspecified. (Submitted)
We consider the a posteriori error analysis of hp-discontinuous Galerkin finite element approximations to first--order hyperbolic problems. In particular, we discuss the question of error estimation for linear functionals, such as the outflow flux and the local average of the solution. Based on our a posteriori error bound we design and implement the corresponding adaptive algorithm to ensure reliable and efficient control of the error in the prescribed functional to within a given tolerance. This involves exploiting both local polynomial-degree-variation and local mesh subdivision. The theoretical results are illustrated by a series of numerical experiments.
