President Obama has announced a climate-driven initiative to train architects, builders and engineers in the benefits of wood as a structural material.
US President Barack Obama has announced that he will support the development of wooden buildings. This move is being driven through the White House's climate strategy. This climate-driven initiative that will see architects, builders and engineers trained in the benefits of wood as a structural material.
Wood is gaining ground as a popular material in tall building construction, as evident through the Forte building in Melbourne and Stadhaus in London. The efforts of the USDA to support its advancement aligns with Obama's Climate Action Plan, which preserves the role of forests in mitigating climate change.
"Wood may be one of the world's oldest building materials, but it is now also one of the most advanced," said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. "Building stronger markets for innovative new wood products supports sustainable forestry, helps buffer reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and puts rural America at the forefront of an emerging industry."
"Presently, the market for wood and other related forest products supports more than one million direct jobs, many in rural America. As these markets expand, so will the economic opportunities."

What is mother tongue-based multilingual education (MTB-MLE)?
Mother tongue-based multilingual education is the provision of education in a child's mother tongue, or a home language familiar to them, as well as providing them with an opportunity to learn a second (or third) language of wider communication. In MTB MLE programs, students' gain initial literacy in their first language (L1) and the L1 is the only language of instruction in the early grades. At the same time, students begin learning oral and then written second language (L2). Once they have gained confidence in using the L2 for "everyday" communication, teachers begin introducing them to the more academic L2 terms they will need in higher primary grades. Both L1 and L2 are then used together for instruction to the end of primary school. In an environment where MTB-MLE is used, the education system will typically use a language other than a student's mother tongue as the language of instruction at some point in the primary or secondary cycle. The language is often a national or a colonial language that many children may have limited knowledge of or ability to use, and generally not to the same level of proficiency as with their mother tongue.
How many children do not receive an education in their mother tongue?
An estimated 221 million school-age children speak languages not used as the primary medium of instruction in the formal school system (Walter, cited in Dutcher 2004). In certain countries, almost the entire population of children may have little to no knowledge of the language of instruction, particularly if it is a former colonial language like French or English, which remain the sole language of instruction in some countries. Indeed, 44% of languages spoken by more than 10,000 people are not used as languages of instruction in education. If all languages are included, a stunning 2.4 billion people—almost 40% of the world's population—speak languages that are minimally used in the education sector (Walter 2009, cited in Pinnock 2009).
What are the advantages of mother tongue-based multilingual education?
Providing education in children's first language, while at the same time providing them with support to learn a second language of wider communication, has several advantages: it increases access to school, as well as promotes equity in learning; it leads to improved learning outcomes; it reduces repetition and drop-out rates; and it can lead to lower education costs due to greater efficiency. In one study, analysis of data from 22 developing countries and 160 language groups revealed that children who had access to instruction in their mother tongue were significantly more likely to be enrolled and attending school. Conversely, lack of education in a child's first language was a significant reason for children dropping out (Smits et al., 2008). Additionally, teaching children to read in their first language helps them to learn to read a second language, because language skills that are developed in a first language are transferrable to a second language. Moreover, mastering of the first language promotes cognitive development needed to more easily learn a second language.
Does MTB-MLE cost more than other language models of education?
No. In fact, MTB-MLE may be more cost-effective than current mono-lingual models of education, or education that is provided in language other than the mother tongue. This is due to the increased efficiency that results when fewer students repeat and drop out. Although the start-up costs of an MTB-MLE program may be higher than normal recurrent costs, they will be recuperated in the long term, as the system becomes more efficient, fewer students drop out, and more students learn and become productive members of the economy. One World Bank study in Mali found that mother tongue-based programs cost about 27% less for a six-year primary cycle than French-only programs, largely because of the decrease in repetition and drop-out (Bender et al., 2005). Another analysis shows that a 4% to 5% increase in a country's education budget would cover the immediate costs associated with mother tongue instruction and reduce education costs in the long run (Heugh, 2006). Analysis from Guatemala and Senegal estimates that the cost of producing local-language materials would be 1% of the education budget where orthographies and other language development units already exist, while countries where orthographies do not exist might see an increase of 5% (Vawda and Patrinos, 1999). These additional costs are mainly related to teacher education and the cost of producing materials—costs that will be recuperated in the long run.
Does providing education in mother tongue languages increase ethnic conflict?
No. The evidence suggests just the opposite: The presence of strong institutions—including a well-functioning education system that provides all children with an opportunity to learn—in areas of high ethnolinguistic diversity actually decreases the likelihood of war and slow economic growth (Easterly, 2001). Indeed, a review of the most linguistically diverse societies shows that they are also the societies with the largest number of out-of-school children—a recipe for social unrest, since social exclusion prohibits some members of a community or country from becoming educated, therefore contributing to poverty and disenfranchisement from the larger economy. Therefore, providing education in languages that children understand therefore contributes to a stable society by producing well-education, productive members of society.

OH YEAH! Today is officially 2 years since my first post. I know people around the world keep reading some of my posts until now. Thanks a bunch for the comments, the loyal readers, the haters, or whatsoever it is i will still appreciate your holly time to stop by and take a look a bit of my cheesy blog. So thanks you guys. This introduction may be sounds corny but yeah i just wanna say thanks.
For the next i (may) will be more structured in writing and explaining the foods and recipes. Some people think my foods are just too abstract to be true, but this is me. That's why it called no-rules-cooking. When you need to do is do whatever you want. I will try to put some easy local foods also. I hope i can write more. Maybe join some culinary event like i used to before i got sick. Lets blow the candles. Make some improvement. CHEERS!

Cagliari suffered two injuries in training this weekend, as Marco Sau fractured his nose.
The Sardinians haven't had a lucky couple of days at the Assemini training camp under Coach Diego Lopez.
Striker Sau fractured his nose during a game between ranks and could well require surgery to stabilise it.
Either way, he is a major doubt to play against Catania next weekend.
Daniele Dessena also went off during a training session with a sprained left ankle.

Quote from: ~Sidereal on December 04, 2011, 11:10:58 PMhttp://www.ted.com/talks/jonathan_haidt_on_the_moral_mind.htmlFor those who care, here's the newest version of this lecture: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aurA2bVFAgs
Morality should about separating the good from the bad, and killing off the bad. There are many of them but not as many as good people, if good people would just grow some fucking balls and crush them.
I definitely give a fuck about it academically, and to some degree with empathy. But that is because I am a healthy human being. I feel some here lack in empathy; not just in ignoring it when talking about greater matters but sorta overall. It would be obvious that with the ANUS message, such people would be preferably attracted. Or at least, that such sentiment would take root amongst people. Whichever way you want it.
Sidereal, stating that is implied insult. I do not insult (I try ). My moral fibre prevents it. If you mean it purely in an academic vein, I am aware, thanks bro.That's not to say I can't kid about it though, so fuck yo momma.

About this creation
Are your minifigs tired of running over spiky cacti, driving off of icy slopes, and running into stubborn spruce trees during their night-time off-roading adventures? Well, that's because they can't see. LEGO's Power Function series offers lighting, but that requires a ginormous battery box, with equally ginormous cables and light housings. Luckily, Brick Modder Labs has come up with the solution:
I'll be demonstrating the use of an
eLite Junior
to create some realistic off-road lights and taillights for the
Step one: get youself an eLite (duh!). You'll be glad you did. In this case, I chose the eLite Junior because it was fully self-contained (it doesn't need an attached battery box) and it was tiny (The same footprint as a 2x4 brick, with an added plate). The downside to the Junior is that you will only be able to run four LED's (included, by the way)- but, the Chopsaw's such a little guy, it didn't need any more than that anyway. Here's the eLite Junior with its four LED's. Inside the 2x4 brick is the circuit board (which can hold several different flashing sequences in memory should you desire) and the power source: a CR1225 lithium cell.
So you got your eLite. Now's the hard part. Depending on your model, you need to figure out how you're going to route the wires. For the Chopsaw, I knew I wanted two overhead lights and two taillights. First, I built the Chopsaw to look how I wanted it to look. Then, I figured the best place for the lighting system. In this case, that was the main upright portion of the rollcage - basically, the back of the passenger compartment.
I used technic pieces to create the top of the roll cage and the holders for the off-road lights. I used two "minifig back plates with knobs" to hold the taillights.
The eLite LED cables are six inches long EACH. That's great for large models. That's a problem for a model that is just over six inches in total length. So, I bound the wires (I wasn't going to even try splicing them - too many bad experiences with my real off-road machine) with just a touch of BLACK electrical tape (holds well, and doesn't stand out)
The two bound wires for the overhead lights are placed in front of the passenger compartment backing, and are held in place by a black grab-iron piece (pictured above). The two bound wires leading to the taillights are placed beneath the back of the ATV, and rest upon the eLite unit itself, actual helping to support the rear of the vehicle (pictured below).
I added two 1x4 plates to help support the structure in the front.
And I added a 2x4 bley plate to finish of the back and to provide a mounting area for the spare tire.
And that's that!
It really brings a whole new dimension to your models, and the configurations are all based on your own designs. If anyone would ever like help with this sort of system, I would be happy to provide my assistance.

Date: July 2008 1. LBD on: The truth about Natural Game
2. Love Systems on YouTube
1. LBD on: The Truth about "Natural Game" LBD is one our newest/oldest instructors. He's been around since 2002, he appeared in the book The Game, and he has been a top dating coach for years. He has recently returned from his service in Iraq and is now back on "active duty" as a Love Systems lead instructor. LBD is known for his "no BS" style. He tells it like it is, both to students on his bootcamps and in life in general. Today he takes a look at so-called "natural game." The Truth about "Natural Game" I've been around pickup and dating science for longer than just about anybody. I've seen trends come and go, from creepy old guys telling you to point at your penis when you talk to hippy shamans guaranteeing that any woman can squirt, not to mention the guy who had legions of online fans based on his "new discoveries" until he was forced to admit that he was, in fact, a virgin. These things remind me of societal trends like 80's clothes and hair, oxygen water or Dungeons and Dragons 3.0: they are all bad, and they will all ruin your game. This past weekend, I led a Love Systems bootcamp in Seattle and one student asked me about the latest of these fads, which he called "natural game." According to this, you don't need any of the best word-for-word scripts, you don't need the step-by-step structure from Magic Bullets, you can just go out and be yourself and have fun and women will come to you. I told him that this is what most of us were trying to do before we discovered dating science, that it didn't work back then, and that it sure as heck won't help new people get better now. We teach a step-by-step approach (the innovative Love Systems Triad Model from Magic Bullets). When you have large, complex problems like "see that beautiful woman over there; get her into bed (or make her my girlfriend)," it's really helpful to break it down into specific tasks that come one after another. First you do X, until Y happens, and then you do Z. There are only 6 steps, and only a few combinations within each, but it has simplified the lives of thousands of men worldwide and it works. And "being yourself" doesn't help if you draw a mental blank or run out of things to say. Sure it's easy to tell someone just to make conversation when he runs out of things to say, but when you're talking to a Playboy Playmate lookalike and her friends are trying to drag her away and she's looking at you expectantly to see if there's anything more to you than a well-delivered opening line... you have to have stuff ready to go. And it has to be good.
In general, any fad that promises an easy path without putting in the work sounds – and is – too good to be true. Does this mean being "natural" is bad or impossible? Of course not. If you see Love Systems bootcamp graduates out socially, they will look very relaxed and natural. But that's because they've done the work to get there. Let me explain, with reference to an all-American metaphor: baseball. A professional baseball player can step up to the plate, stare at the pitcher, and then, with perfection and apparent ease, hit the ball perfectly for a homerun. Let's say you are brand new to the sport of baseball. Perhaps you have never even stepped up to bat before – but you really want to learn and you spend the money and get the opportunity to train with this professional baseball player. The first thing you ask him is "How do I hit a home run?" and he explains that the best way to hit a home run is not to think about it. You need to just feel when the timing is right to hit the ball. Your mind and soul should be on autopilot, you should be one with your true self and then hitting the home run will come naturally to you. Is he lying to you? No. That is the way he hits a home run every time. But will that advice ever help you to hit a home run? Not one darn bit. What has happened is this professional player has completely forgotten about all the years he has spent playing baseball. He forgot about the thousands of times he has been up to bat before. He forgot entirely about his learning process that has allowed him to become the natural baseball player who can effortlessly hit home runs. It is no different with meeting and attracting women. If you haven't had all of the success you want, going out and "being natural" isn't going to help, no matter how many eBooks you read. Natural game is simply how men act when they are ALREADY good with women. You learn natural game by going out and practicing, as much as possible, for as long as possible. You practice with the best tools available – the structure and formula from Magic Bullets, personal attention on a Love Systems bootcamp, etc. Natural game is learned by doing a thousand approaches and then going out and doing a thousand more. It comes from hard work, a good attitude, patterns of success and a willingness to push through some failure. It comes from making good friends who will push you, attending bootcamps and seminars and then going out and doing all of it all over again. If you do that I guarantee that you will have natural game. People who all of a sudden "discover" natural game actually reveal more about their own dating science skills and development than they do about how to teach others. All it means is that they have gotten good enough with the basic structure and with routines that they are now able to take the training wheels off. They discover that now that they have internalized the right behaviors and intuitions from having worked with a Magic Bullets-type structure that they don't need to slavishly follow the model anymore and can improvise. Well, of course. When you see me out with friends like Tenmagnet or The Don or Savoy, we're improvising, taking advantage of possible shortcuts and so on. That's because we're good enough to be able
to "feel" the game and be "natural," like the baseball player in this analogy. But there's no way that we would have gotten this good if we hadn't had resources like the type of information that eventually found its way into Magic Bullets and the other Love Systems products. And there's no way we'd teach without them. And whenever something goes wrong, we go straight back to the basics to troubleshoot. There is a world of difference between being good with women and being able to teach others how to be good with women. Being able to pick up is necessary to being a good teacher, but it's not enough. That's why I've always been suspicious of guys who proclaim themselves to be gurus. If they were really gurus who could change other peoples' lives, there'd be armies of men using their system to great results. Like the two dozen Love Systems instructors around the world, from 5'2 to 6'4, from 110lbs to 250lbs, from Europe to North America to Latin America to Asia to Australia. We all use roughly the same system, because it works. The best way to learn natural game is to do the work necessary to get there. To make the most progress in the least amount of time, it is best to do the training and the exercises that teach you natural game. Those are following the program: scripted material, canned openers and proven attraction routines. These are time-tested, proven methods that have transformed thousands of Average Frustrated Chumps (AFCs), myself included, into real-world pick up artists and the new "naturals." Another error in the natural game theory, and it applies equally to our pro baseball player and to our pickup artist, is that natural game only happens when your mind and body are in state. What happens when you are nervous, tired, had a bad day at work, dog died or Marvel kills off Captain America? You aren't in the mood to be instantly clever and charming right off the top of your head. But you sure as hell can pull out the Love Systems Routines Manual, read a couple of scripts, and then go approach. Every single time. The few guys I know who are teaching natural game got there only after doing years of field work. Natural game comes from doing the field work. And the best way to learn the field work is to follow the system. Once you have it, natural game is a lot more fun and a lot easier in my opinion; but it is anything but natural.

Love Systems on YouTube – free video Did you know there is a YouTube channel all about Love Systems? Go to Love Systems on YouTube and check out tons of free video, including hidden camera footage of live approaches. You'll also see the notorious Keys to the VIP episode in which Love Systems instructor Cajun embarrassed both the judges and the other contestants as he demonstrated that you don't have to have model looks (or height) to be the best at seducing beautiful women – as long as you understand dating science. You can also see investigative
reports of bootcamps I've been teaching, one by Fox News and the other by the Dr. Phil show. And lots more. Check it out at our Love Systems YouTube Channel.

I am basing this thread off of a comment on Dogasu:
CN, please stop
November 14th, 2006
So Cartoon Network has updated their schedule to include the premieres of four more episodes in the month of November. Starting November 27th, the network will be airing a new episode a night for four nights. The new titles have been added to the Episode List. Thanks to Duke, once again, for bringing these titles to my attention.
These new titles brings us a total of 31 dubbed titles. When we head into December, we'll only have 21 episodes left in the season. These episodes will have to last us from the first of December until the start of the new season (which will likely be in September). I really wish Cartoon Network would just calm the f_ck down with these premieres. Yes, I know the show is getting you monster ratings. But when you run out of episodes in a month or two because you burned through them too fast, what are you going to do? Will people continue tuning in for the reruns? Will fans' interest remain until the premiere of Season 10? The network's taking a real gamble right now, and I hope it pays off for them.
:::Why is CN (PKUSA) dubbing episodes so fast? We have 9 episodes left of Pocket Monsters Advanced Generation (aka: Battle Frontier) is it like the US is tired of being like 20+ behind Japan?

ATP Owl Watering Can
Product Description
ATP Owl handcrafted metal watering can.
Holds approx. 2 litres. Approx 33.5cm high
This ornamental watering can has been hand crafted from galvanised metal sheet to make watering in the garden a totally new experience.
First, it is crafted into shape and then given a protective decorative coating. If the surface becomes damaged, we recommend spraying with an aerosol metal paint.
The cans are hand-made in India, so each can is individual and may not be as highly finished as a mass-produced factory item - we think this adds to the charm!

Fabio Borini and Marco Capuano have left the Italy Under-21 camp ahead of the match with Turkey.
The Azzurrini returned to Rome and resumed training for Tuesday's European Championship qualifier in Rieti, kick-off 16.00 UK time.
Fired up by their 7-2 victory over Liechtenstein, Italy are forced to do without Borini, as the Roma striker will be suspended.
Capuano has also left the training camp due to a sprained right ankle, though Riccardo Saponara will remain after showing improvement in his thigh injury.

Petition update
Stop the Oakland Spy Center!
Jan 13, 2014 — Dear Friends:
Thank you so much for signing our petition against drones. Thanks to everyone who came together, drones are still not flying in our skies.
But now we have another surveillance problem in Oakland: The Domain Awareness Center.
The Domain Awareness Center (DAC) is a $10.9MM citywide mass surveillance center that will incorporate street cameras, license plate readers, public school CCTV, and in the future, facial recognition. The DAC will watch everyone in the city, regardless of whether they have committed a crime and without a warrant.
Will you please sign this petition to STOP SPYING ON OAKLAND:
The petition page has tons of links to tell you all about the DAC. Please sign it and share with your friends and family.
Thank you so much for your support!

William James continues,
"the human individual lives usually far within his limits; he possesses powers of various sorts which he habitually fails to use. He energizes below his maximum, and he behaves below his optimum."
"Of course there are limits," James acknowledged. "The trees don't grow into the sky." But these outer boundaries of where we will, eventually, stop improving are simply irrelevant for the vast majority of us: "The plain fact remains that men the world over possess amounts of resource, which only very exceptional individuals push to their extremes of use.

Steps of making custom toys
Based on the information and imagery that you provide, a sample prototype is produced. The cost of this sample will vary with the process that needs to be used for production.
For plastic and vinyl figures, a sculpt will be produced of your design based on your imagery, or you can provide us with a mold-ready sculpt that we will reproduce for manufacturing. Times for creating a sample sculpt are typically 12-15 working days. Changes are made until you are satisfied with and approve the design, all at no additional charge and without obligation to order. Once the sculpt looks good in photos, a pre-production sample is produced out of Polyurethane (PU) and sent to you so you are able to give "hands on" approval of the final design. When you place an order, molds will be created to mass-produce your figures in your chosen material. If you decide to proceed with production, the sample fee is refunded as a credit towards the manufacturing order. If you decide you are not ready to proceed with production then the sample is still yours to keep.
For resin figures, your prototype may be cast out of resin and a simpler mold construction process is used, reducing initial costs (but not per piece cost) as compared to plastic and vinyl. For low quantity runs, this is usually the least expensive option overall.
Mold making time is about 30 days for most molds. Production times for plastics and vinyl following the creation of the molds are usually in the range of 25-35 days. Once production is completed, delivery times via ocean are approximately 30-40 days, while air freight times can vary from 2-10 days depending on the freight carrier. Rush orders are usually possible for an additional fee.
Toy Manufacturing Costs
Pricing of each manufactured toy varies with the particular design, size, and quantities. Much of the cost of plastic and vinyl toys is in the cost of the molds that are made for production. The molds are often complex and require multiple parts in order to get the highest quality reproductions. We will limit these costs as much as possible without sacrificing quality.
Our quotes estimate expected mold and manufacturing costs. We will provide firm prices for both after you approve your prototype and are ready to begin production, also taking into account any fluctuations in material and production costs. These prices are good for a fixed period, usually 30 days. If you include your postal code in your quote request, we will also estimate shipping costs. Calculating precise shipping weights and volumes prior to manufacturing is very difficult, but we can often give you an idea of likely final costs of the toys as delivered to your door or loading dock. When it is time to ship your completed order, we will have a firm quote based on actual measured weights and cubic volume of the shipment.

RE: Dataguard Incremental Restore.
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2009 10:59:28 -0400
Message-ID: <SNT107-W607EF41F6F400A02D6BD2BC2420_at_phx.gbl>
Sorry, I meant to say that I/m using the SCN from my production system minus a couple thousand.
From: martinfbrown_at_hotmail.com
To: oracle-l_at_freelists.org
Subject: Datagueard Incremental Restore. Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2009 10:53:48 -0400
I'm trying to complete an incremental restore on one of my physical standby databases. I'm following: http://www.filibeto.org/sun/lib/nonsun/oracle/10.2.0.1.0/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmdupdb007.htm
My understanding was to get a SCN from my standby and run the incremental backup from my primary a couple thousand SCN's prior to what the current scn is in the standby. I keep getting "datafile 1 must be restored". I know what that usually means, but in this case, I don't see the relavence. Datafile1 should be current past the SCN number I am using. Am I misreading or misunderstanding the proceedure? Anyone else use this method?
Thanks for your time.

A publication of the Archaeological Institute of America
NamibiaWhile searching for diamonds off the coast, a joint venture between the national government and diamond giant De Beers found a treasure-laden shipwreck that was probably a Portuguese trading vessel from the early 16th century. The ship was loaded with Spanish and Portuguese coins, cannons, three rare astrolabes, and 60 elephant tusks.
South AfricaResearchers believe they have evidence at Sibudu Cave that shows the bow and arrow were invented 20,000 years earlier than was thought. A two-inch bone point, which has been dated to the Middle Stone Age, 60,000 years ago, closely resembles those historically used as arrowheads by Bushmen. Arrows were thought to have come into use in the Late Stone Age alongside other signs of modernity, such as art and fully formed language.

Asia & the Pacific
United KingdomEurope's last Neanderthals were not a struggling culture, but rather a thriving, surprisingly developed one. New analysis of 180 flint tools—found in 1900 during the construction of an estate house—paint a picture of technological sophistication probably surpassing that of the first Homo sapiens in Europe around 40,000 years ago. The site's location, which would have provided good views of animals moving across the plains, shows that these Neanderthals understood their environment well.
DenmarkForensic scientists discovered the 2,000-year-old remains of a man with mitochondrial DNA that shows he had Arabian roots. The burial was similar to those around it, suggesting the "foreigner" had been accepted into the local culture. He may even have contributed to the gene pool. The same team extracted 1,000-year-old DNA from the teeth of Vikings buried elsewhere, and found that they were more genetically diverse than modern Danes.
Near & Middle East
IsraelAn ancient date palm may be back from extinction. Scientists planted 2,000-year-old seeds found at the hilltop fortress of Masada and one germinated--the oldest known seed to become a plant. It is different from modern species, so it may be a Judean date palm, known in antiquity for the unique flavor and powerful medicinal properties of its fruit. Researchers named the plant Methuselah, after the Bible's oldest man.
SyriaAccording to cuneiform tablets, the people of the ancient Mesopotamian city of Ebla coveted entertainers called hub from the city of Nagar (Tell Brak), 300 miles away. Until now, archaeologists weren't sure what kind of entertainers they were, but the lower skeleton of a ritual sacrifice suggests they were acrobats. The remains show signs of enlarged muscles, injuries from a fall and repeated jumping and turning, and wear on the foot bones identical to that of a modern ballet dancer.
North America
Lake OntarioShipwreck enthusiasts with side-scanning sonar and a remote-control sub located HMS Ontario, a Revolutionary War-era sloop that was one of the most sought-after Great Lakes wrecks. The remarkably well-preserved find is the oldest confirmed wreck in the Great Lakes and the only fully intact British warship ever located. The 80-foot Ontario sank in a gale in 1780 with 120 people aboard, including up to 30 American prisoners of war.
MexicoHidalgo--Where cultural patrimony is sexy! Not so fast. The National Institute for Anthropology and History rejected state tourism ads that featured Hidalgo's great attractions, including the Toltec monuments at Tula de Allende and the 16th-century aqueduct of Padre Tembleque, digitally laid over the seminude body of soap-opera actress Iran Castillo. The state was allowed to run ads in which she was painted with images of hot-air balloons and rock faces. So much for spicing up archaeology.

Jonathan Woodgate has backed up Cristiano Ronaldo's assertion that he did not dive to win the penalty that jettisoned Middlesbrough from the FA Cup at Old Trafford on Monday.
Ronaldo tumbled to the turf after faint contact from the centre-half as he sprinted to the byline with 15 minutes of the sixth-round tie remaining, the second spot-kick he has won against Boro this season and a fall that enraged members of the visitors' backroom staff. The United No2 Carlos Queiroz reacted furiously on the touchline to shouts from the Boro bench that Ronaldo was a "cheat" - the visitors' assistant manager, Malcolm Crosby, yesterday denied he had made the claim - and had to be restrained at the final whistle by Sir Alex Ferguson.
"It was a decision which went against us but Cristiano Ronaldo is clever," said Woodgate. "It's not nice to be beaten 1-0 by a penalty, but I don't think Ronaldo dived so you can't put the blame on him. Ronaldo is a fantastic player. There is a touch of genius in him and he lights up the Premiership. I've no idea if it was a penalty or not. I couldn't honestly tell myself. I'll have to see it again and then I'll judge it."
Television replays suggested there had been some contact between the centre-half and the winger, with Ferguson insisting Boro's bench had only reacted because Ronaldo was the player involved. The incident marred an otherwise impressive display by Woodgate, who has joined England's squad for the Euro 2008 qualifying games against Israel and Andorra despite suffering from a nagging sore knee.
Gareth Southgate has reacted furiously to suggestions from Sheffield United's manager Neil Warnock that he fielded a weakened Middlesbrough team last saturday against Manchester City, who won 2-0, as a favour to his former England colleague, Stuart Pearce. Warnock had insisted Southgate's decision to omit Julio Arca, Woodgate and Mark Viduka at the Riverside in preparation for their FA Cup sixth-round replay at Manchester United on Monday was "disgusting" and "scandalous". But Southgate countered: "I'll pick whoever I want. I felt we needed to do that [on Saturday] to have a chance at United. Everybody wants to have a go at what we've done, and not just Neil Warnock, but I make decisions for this club."

So, obviously a lot of my trip so far has been pretty, like, whimsical, but Africah is when things became raally serious. Forty-one per cent of Africans consider their living standards to be subsaharan, and there are also isssues. My trip to Africah hopefully was able to provide a wesstern presssence for the resolvation of those isssues. I came to Mombasah on a mission, and it was a mission I had found on the internet and paid £3,000 for.
I was working with an organisation called PovWatch Africah and I was going to be part of the final solution to poverty. We all met up in a hotel conference suite in Nairahbi and it was pretty exciting to meet everyone – like the first day at school. And also because a lot of people were from my school thah. Spent the morning in classes devoted to telling us about techniques and treatments for dealing with a worms infestation so we could teach this to people in villages.
A whole morning learning about deworming. Raaaaancid. At lunch, everyone was talking about isssues and like about how colonialism was just literally raally bad except for when it stopped people from genital mutilation. Some guy had read a book that said that giving aid to Africans was actually a bad thing and the girl opposite me was like, "why are you doing it then?" and the guy suddenly got all like, "well, it's just an opinion…" and didn't raally say anything else. Chump.
The week of finding out about isssues followed by beers (lash 'n' learn) went by pretty quickly, then we were sent off to live with some random rural tribe.
The village we were sent to (can't remember the name of it – something African) was quite nice. It turned out that we weren't actually educating them about deworming though, we were there to build an orphanage or something. I even asked around the village to see if anyone wanted to be educated about deworming and they didn't, so I got stuck into the building works. The work was pretty difficult, but I quite enjoyed it. We didn't get that much done as the Africans kept taking the tools from the girls and doing their jobs for them, which led to a kind of merry-go-round of work with everyone swapping just when they were starting to get the hang of it.
It was actually raally worthwhile working out thah, and quite satisfying at the end when we had a big ceremony for finishing the building when the chief thanked us for "labouring so hard in the construction of my new house. All of my people thank you for your contribution to more efficient-making government of this country."
It actually raally meant a lot to make a contribution to the lives of these people who have nothing compared to us. But before we came, they didn't have this big house, and now they have a big house, and it was just like, hello, sense of achievement.
For the whole six weeks I was out in that village, I hardly used my phone – they didn't have coverage, except on the top of a nearby hill where people would go to send texts – it was just like I couldn't be bothered, cos I was too busy helping the tribe. Everyone should have to come here, just so they realise. It's like the land speaks to you. I realised the beauty of Africa was not what we could do for it, but what it does to us.
Pretty phenomenal. I wanted to stay forever and live alongside these noble people, but I had a luxury safari booked.

Energy and dietary intakes of young professional football players
Search Medline for
|October 24, 2011
Objective: Adequate dietary habits in endurance and energy demanding sport such as soccer are very important for young athletes since deficiency may delay development and affect performance. Demanding training and busy travel schedules in addition to a possible lack of nutritional knowledge may prohibit them from maintaining an optimal dietary intake. The aim of this study was to investigate the nutritional profile of young high-level football players to establish specific dietary guidelines to enhance their peak athletic performance and overall health.
Material/Methods: Three-day dietary records were analyzed and also the anthropometric measurements were taken at the beginning of competitive season. In this cross-sectional study, with 40 male elite football players, ergospyrometry tests were conducted. Furthermore, lipid, hematological and biochemical parameters were sampled from athletes as well. Dietary and energy intakes with emphasis on macronutrient, micronutrient and fluid values were calculated using COSMED FMed 2.0 software.
Results: Physical characteristics of players with a mean age, height, weight, BMI and F% of 16.7±0.7years, 179.2±6.1cm, 71.5±7.0kg, 22.2±1.5 and 9.33±2.7 reflect that they were homogeneous group. Only F% demonstrate significant difference (p<0.05) for various soccer position in offense. Reported daily energy intake (EI) with meals, mostly taken at home, was 3042.9±905.9.9 kcal which is significant lower (p<0,001) than the EI obtained by the formula. Throughout the recording period carbohydrate intake was 52%±8.2, fat intake was 31.0%±5.5 and proteins were represented with 17%±3.5. Fluid intake of 1782.3±714.7 ml was no optimal and there is doubt that data had been under reported. Intake of vitamins and minerals had variation from DRI (%DRI) for Ca (71.6), Mg (94.8), Fe (134.5), K (71.2), Na (277.6), Vit.C (210.8), Vit.B6 (23.8) and Vit.B12 (61.1). EI was positively correlated with Fe (p<0.01) and Ca (p<0.05) intake. Cholesterol (112.0) and saturated fatty (157.6) intake above DRI suggest about quality of consumed food. Iron deficiency without anemia (11.6±1.5) was found in 22 soccer players. In previous studies this iron deficiency is represented as a factor that can impact on endurance. The ANOVA showed that EI had significant effects on VO2max.
Conclusion: This study reveals differences regarding current opinions about sports nutrition and points the need to increase EI with a higher carbohydrate proportion in football athletes. Inadequate fractional contribution of micro-nutrients and fluid should be adjusted to reach DRI. The nutritional consideration of young male football players should be focus on providing appropriate nutritional information in order to improve the athletes' diet and, consequently, their health and sports ability.

I don't agree with John McCain on all the issues. But I found his victory in New Hampshire last night gratifying for one simple reason: Like me, he is the father of a Marine.
As this campaign has unfolded, I have been thinking about how military parents should think about this election and decide which candidate to support. I settled on a determining question that may well resonate with other military parents: Where will each potential commander-in-chief's children be when our troops are ordered to make additional sacrifices?
This question was inspired, in part, by the resentment I felt while my son was deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq, and while President Bush's daughters -- like many young-adult offspring of our country's elites -- seemed to be on a perpetual spring break. (To be fair, after graduating from college, Barbara Bush spent time working with AIDS patients in Africa and Jenna Bush worked for UNICEF in Panama and is now employed at a D.C. elementary school.)
But if it's legitimate for candidates to trot out their children for "family values" photo-ops on the campaign trail, it's legitimate to consider the values the candidates have, or have not, passed on to their children. And, in a wartime context, attitudes toward military service seem particularly relevant.
Of course, we don't have a draft. The freedom not to volunteer for the military extends to any president's children. And I don't want to suggest that politically ambitious parents should push their offspring to serve. Moreover, as a parent I'd hate to be blamed for everything my children do or don't do.
That said, all parents -- including presidents and potential presidents -- are free to encourage or discourage their children to volunteer. And voters have every right to demand an especially high standard of example-setting from those claiming they are fit to lead our country in wartime.
So how did the candidates stack up?
My question wasn't particularly helpful in thinking about Barack Obama, whose children are both very young, or Rudy Giuliani, whose children won't have anything to do with him. But it was useful in clarifying my thoughts on some of the others.
Mitt Romney, for instance, has five military-age sons. They're all helping with his campaign and write the Five Brothers blog. And when CBS's Mike Wallace asked them whether, in addition to their church missionary work, any of them had thought about serving in the military, the answer was a universal no. "I feel guilty having not done it," said 32-year-old real estate developer Josh Romney. His 29-year-old brother Ben admitted: "I've seen a lot and read a lot that has made me say, 'My goodness, I hope I never have to do that.'"
Hillary Clinton's only daughter, Chelsea, has had a similarly privileged and protected life. She went from Stanford to Oxford and then on to a consulting job with a starting salary over $100,000. Now 27, she works as a hedge fund manager and has made cameo appearances with her mother's campaign.
There's nothing wrong with Chelsea Clinton and the Romney sons making a buck or boosting their academic credentials instead of serving their country -- unless Hillary Clinton and Mitt Romney are going to ask other people's equally gifted children to serve. Do their children's decisions make Romney and Clinton unfit to be president? No. But these strong-on-defense candidates would be more credible if their children were more open to military service. Likewise, it would be hard to trust someone selling himself as a health-and-fitness guru if his children were grossly overweight.
By contrast, McCain -- himself a veteran and the son and grandson of two Navy admirals -- has two children in the military. Nineteen-year-old Jimmy is a Marine and 21-year-old Jack is at the Naval Academy. The fact that his sons are willing to fight a war McCain has vowed to try to win lends moral credibility to his words. He wouldn't ask others to do anything he and his family wouldn't do. (Joe Biden, who recently withdrew from the presidential race, also has a son in uniform. That he would be willing to serve in a war his father disapproves of shows that service trumps politics in their family and made Biden, like McCain, a compelling candidate.)
Among the remaining candidates, McCain's family's commitment to service separates him from the crowd. Certainly it's not his only credential. And certainly he doesn't have everything right. But that service ethic matters more to me than whether he's "correct" on lesser issues.
It will be easier for Americans to take the next president's inevitable call for sacrifice seriously if that president's children are in the military. We need a president who can honestly say: "We're all in this together."

Litigation Release No. 20159 / June 20, 2007
Accounting and Auditing Enforcement Release No. 2619 / June 20, 2007
SEC v. Jeffrey McMahon, Civil Action No. H-07-2051 (SDTX) (June 20, 2007)
SEC Charges Former Enron Executive Jeffrey McMahon With Violating Federal Securities Laws
Defendant Barred From Serving as Officer or Director of Public Company and Ordered to Pay $300,000
The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged former Enron Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer Jeffrey McMahon with violating the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws and with aiding and abetting Enron's violations of the reporting and record keeping provisions. McMahon simultaneously settled with the Commission without admitting or denying the allegations in the Complaint. As part of the settlement agreement, which is subject to the approval of the U.S. District Court, McMahon has agreed to a permanent injunction and to be barred from acting as an officer or director of a public company for five years. In addition, McMahon will pay disgorgement and prejudgment interest in the amount of $150,000 and a civil penalty of $150,000.
Specifically, the Commission's Complaint alleges that McMahon participated in a fraudulent transaction involving the "sale" of an interest in Nigerian power generating barges to Merrill Lynch that allowed Enron to improperly report $12 million in earnings in the fourth quarter of 1999. Enron never should have recorded profits from this purported sale because the risks and rewards of ownership in the barges never passed to Merrill Lynch due to an oral side agreement made by McMahon and others. The Complaint also alleges that while serving as Enron's Treasurer from April 1998 through March 2000, McMahon made false and misleading statements to the national credit rating agencies regarding Enron's financial position and cash flow. The Complaint alleges that the false and misleading statements included statements about Enron's cash flow from operations that failed to disclose that a portion of such cash flow was a result of structured financings and debt-like obligations that had nothing to do with Enron's operations or trading business. In addition, the Complaint alleges that McMahon made additional false and misleading statements to the rating agencies after he became Enron's Chief Financial Officer on October 24, 2001 through Enron's bankruptcy filing in December 2001.
McMahon has agreed to be enjoined permanently from violating Sections 10(b) and 13(b)(5) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Exchange Act Rules 10b-5 and 13b2-1, and from aiding and abetting the violation of Sections 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A) and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act and Exchange Act Rules 12b-20, 13a-1 and 13a-13.
In settlement of this action, McMahon also consented to the entry of an Administrative Order, pursuant to Rule 102(e) of the Commission's Rules of Practice, suspending him from appearing or practicing before the Commission as an accountant, with a right to reapply after three years.

Lee Hamilton '52 Sends "Pretty Clear Signals" of Iraq Study Group's Recommendations: Prof. Ken Bode
November 17, 2006
Also: Lee Hamilton's DePauw Discourse Presentation
November 17, 2006, Greencastle, Ind. - "Lee Hamilton is not a politician likely to leak, so during a visit to DePauw University recently he made it clear that there were some questions he would have to deflect," writes Ken Bode in today's Indianapolis Star. DePauw's Eugene S. Pulliam Distinguished Visiting Professor of Journalism uses his weekly op-ed to examine comments made by Hamilton, co-chair of the Iraq Study Group and 1952 graduate of DePauw, on October 26 at DePauw Discourse 2006.
"Hamilton sat for an hourlong Q and A moderated by Jack McWethy ['69] of ABC News. He scrupulously honored 'the borders,' but Hamilton said enough on the record to give some pretty clear signals about what the study group will be recommending to the president," Bode states.
"First, the administration will be urged to drop its habit of isolating regimes it doesn't like, particularly Iran and Syria in the Middle East. 'I don't know how you solve problems without talking to people,' Hamilton said... Additionally, look for the study group to encourage diplomatic initiatives to engage the rest of the world to help solve Iraq. Hamilton: 'Our mandate is to figure out how to involve the region, the permanent five members of the U.N. Security Council, the European Union, Japan. One of our frustrations in dealing with Iraq is that the international community has been passive. They say, 'OK, America, you started the war, you clean it up.' We have to change that perception and invite them into a process that gives international backing to what we're trying to do.'"
Bode, a longtime network correspondent for CNN and NBC adds, "One area where the recommendations of the Iraq Study Group may run into resistance from Bush himself is in Hamilton's answer to the last question from the audience at DePauw. 'Do we have to rethink our relations with the state of Israel? That issue is at the top of the Arab agenda.' Essentially, Hamilton said yes, the strongest criticism of America is its pro-Israel stance. 'In the Middle East, everything is connected to everything else, and at the core is the Israeli-Palestinian question. It's terribly important for the U.S. to deal with every aspect of this, refugees, borders, Jerusalem. The U.S. has to get seriously involved in the Middle East beyond Iraq. We have to adjust our relations with Israel to move the process. This does not mean we'll change our close relations with Israel, but we do have to adjust our relations.'"
Bode concludes that Hamilton's comments at DePauw "are a preview from the co-chairman of the Iraq Study Group, which will soon report its efforts to find a middle way between 'cut and run' and 'stay the course.'"
