On last weeks telcon I volunteered to rewrite sections 4.2.2 and 4.2.3 to address the agreed resolutions to issue 107 and to remove the overlap between those sections and section 2 and it's subsections. Below is the propsed new text, note that additional changes are due from Martin Gudgin to address the requirement that actor and mustUnderstand attributes must actually be present in the message rather than the defaulted via a schema. Comments ? Marc. --- 4.2.2 SOAP actor Attribute As described in section 2, not all parts of a SOAP message may be intended for the ultimate SOAP receiver. SOAP defines an actor Attribute Information Item that can be used to indicate the SOAP node at which a particular SOAP header block is targeted. The actor Attribute Information Item has: - A local name of actor - A namespace name of http://www.w3.org/2001/06/soap-envelope The type of the Attribute Information Item is anyURI in the namespace http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema. The value of the Attribute Information Item is a URI that names a role that a SOAP node may assume. The special URI "http://www.w3.org/2001/06/soap-envelope/actor/next" indicates that the SOAP header block is intended for the very first SOAP node that processes the message. This is similar to the hop-by-hop scope model represented by the Connection header field in HTTP. Blocks marked with this special actor URI are subject to the same processing rules, outlined in section 2, as user defined URIs. Omitting the SOAP actor Attribute Information Item implicitly targets the SOAP header block at the ultimate SOAP receiver. This Attribute Information Item has no default value. 4.2.3 SOAP mustUnderstand Attribute As described in section 2.4, the SOAP mustUnderstand Attribute Information Item is used to indicate whether the processing of a SOAP header block is mandatory or optional at the target SOAP node. The mustUnderstand Attribute Information Item has: - A local name of mustUnderstand - A namespace name of http://www.w3.org/2001/06/soap-envelope The type of the Attribute Information Item is boolean in the namespace http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema. The default value is false. The SOAP mustUnderstand Attribute Information Item allows for robust extension of core SOAP. Element Information Items that have an SOAP mustUnderstand Attribute Information Item with a value of "1" MUST be presumed to somehow modify the semantics of their parent or peer elements. This ensures that this change in semantics will not be silently (and, presumably, erroneously) ignored by those who may not fully understand it. -- Marc Hadley <email@example.com> Tel: +44 1252 423740 Int: x23740Received on Monday, 30 July 2001 10:12:18 UTC

NetTV registration fails
Since the 034 firmware for my 42PFL7665H I am experiencing problems with NetTV.
It keeps telling me that I have not registered with Club Philips, but I have...
It tells me that an email has been sent to my email address and that I have to follow the directions in the email to complete the registration. But in the email there is only a notice that they have detected that I allready have a Club Philips account.
With the 032 firmware and older this problem wasn't around. I tried deleting the NetTV memory and I even removed the TV from my Club Philips account but it keeps complaining that I have to register my TV.

When it comes to forecasting oil prices all bets are off in any Middle East 'defcon' scenario. But what about in the normal course of business? Just three years ago (how soon we forget) oil prices were at about today's level. Then prices kept rising to a record just shy of $150. The Great Recession then drove a price collapse below $60.
A year ago last week, when oil had recovered to about $80, I forecast in this column that oil would go back to $100 by year-end 2010. For the underlying rationale, see that original column at Oil Reality Check: It's Going Higher. Well, I was off by about a month, with oil getting back to $100 a barrel later in January. The truth is, this forecast was about as difficult as predicting that the sun will rise. Today's world price is already past $120. [For oil-price cognoscenti, I refer to the Brent world price, not the WTI, or West Texas price commonly quoted in U.S. news.]
Whither oil prices by the end of this year, when the next Presidential election cycle we will be in full swing, and during the continuing delicate phases of an economic recovery?
Now that we are back in high-price territory, forecasting is dicey. But my stick-in-the-sand year-end forecast -- we will "test," as traders like to say, a new high beyond the $147 peak of summer 2008. Why? Because the world's economies continue to broadly recover, taking oil demand beyond the summer of '08 level, while world production capability is essentially the same today.
There is no doubt that the world will drill-baby-drill, especially on the high seas from Brazil's Campos Basin to the Arctic's Kara Sea. All this drilling requires more hardware from drill ships and drill pipe, to pipelines and processing plants. But production won't keep pace with demand, absent another demand-killing global recession. As always, it's much easier to add consumption than production in the asymmetry of world of energy and especially oil markets.
What bets would you make in a high-priced oil world?
You can be sure that the soap-box alarmists will re-emerge, regurgitating end-of-oil predictions and even end-of-the-economy-as-we-know-it scenarios. Without revisiting the hoary debate over peak oil, it is sufficient to note that in time-frames that are meaningful (many, many decades) there is a lot of oil out there. See for example the newly released International Energy Agency Resources to Reserves report. It's 'just' that most of it is more expensive. (A collateral bet: as sure as night-follows-day we'll see accusations and political grabs for "windfall" profits.")
And it's not tough to bet, as many investors already have, that the price tail wind will benefit stocks across the broad swath of companies in the oil patch, from well-head to burner-tip. It should go without saying that there will be a lot of winners in that domain, from the big dogs to niche players. Can't pick? Go for the entire basket in an oil & gas exploration & production exchange traded fund – though the market appears to have already priced in the 2008 price peak.
It's also an easy bet that nearly every alternative energy scheme will become hot again, whether relevant to liquid fuel markets (like biodiesel, or natural gas vehicles), or almost entirely disconnected from oil demand (like wind and solar farms). Every green energy booster either publicly or secretly wants high-priced oil, whether from market forces or government fiat. All this is pretty much same-old same-old.
So what is different today compared to say 1986 -- the year after AOL was founded -- when Yamani was dismissed in a petroleum palace shake-up by then Saudi Arabia's King Fahd? There are those in Silicon Valley who believe that what's different is their entry into the energy domain, converting it to a "clean," "tech," or "green" paradigm – pick your prefix/suffix. Otherwise rational tech entrepreneurs are hyperventilating over prospects for telecom-type "disruptive innovation" in the trillions of dollars in energy markets. While many will doubtless make money, they're quite wrong about the "disruption." The world of molecules and motor vehicles is not the world of bits and YouTube. We will remain oil-centric for a long time yet. (For a brief dissection of the physics of this mythology, see my earlier Will Exxon soon get Googled?)
But two fundamental things are different today. One is that the world has not found any more giant fields of cheap oil, the likes of which the Princes of Saud sit above. The oil the world finds today is receding in the geological and thus technological distance, in deeper wells, or deeper water, or more deeply embedded in the geology itself, from shale oil to oil sands. The second fundamentally different thing today is the new array of sophisticated technologies to find and extract oil, and most especially information technology.
Many analysts and pundits behave as if the oil industry operates in a parallel universe where the IT revolution never took place. Yes, they acknowledge oil & gas industry IT spending for improving operations, logistics, asset management and so forth. This is important but not transformative. Such IT spending is essential and unremarkable. It is to businesses today as having desks and typewriters was in the 1960s. What is new, different and big – is the emergence of the third era of technology for finding and accessing oil itself.
The first two great eras of oil & gas technology are now mature. The first began a century ago with the rudimentary mechanical (by today's standards, almost Tinker Toy like) drilling technologies yielded by the industrial revolution. The second emerged post World War II, using advanced materials and electro-mechanical tools and the sheer scale made possible by the 20th century's engineering might epitomized by commonly safe massive off-shore oil platforms the likes of BP's fateful Deepwater Horizon. The Third Oil Era now emerging piggy-backs the late 20th century information revolution which is now accelerating (again). In the oil field, information is now king.
The oil & gas information revolution has old roots, paralleling the three ages of oil. Credit for the idea of seeing into the earth with seismic waves to find oil belongs to a 1914 patent filed by Canadian inventor Reginald Fessenden, whose subsequent company, Seismos, in 1924 achieved the first commercial seismic discovery, in Brazoria County, Texas, of course. This was followed in the 1960s with transistor-based portable instrumentation. But it was still a world dominated by wildcat drilling.
The third revolution uses modern IT tools and supercomputer-class software, allowing precision discovery and precision drilling and extraction. Petroleum engineers today have computer-enabled eyes and ears unimaginable a few decades ago. One big change has been the development of viable horizontal drilling, again something pioneered in the 1940s, but essentially impractical until the advent of imaging, measurement (measurement-while-drilling) and information control systems that in real time drive continuously steerable drill bits.
The big Kahuna in hydrocarbon IT is high-resolution 3D underground imaging -- the technological great-grand-child of Seismos. While Exxon performed the first 3D seismic survey in 1967, it didn't catch on until the 1980s. Even then the magnitude of information and processing requirements needed vastly exceeded available computing power. That's not true anymore. A single modern seismic survey can use thousands of sensors which collect raw data from tens of thousands of signals accumulating in data storage by the terabytes per day, per search.
Sit in an oil conference today and you hear about digital technology and software, cloud computing, remote servers, bandwidth constraints, high-speed wireless, terabytes of storage, GPS, laser mapping, virtualization, virtual-reality caves, satellite imaging, hyperspectral cubes, reverse-time software, and virtualization. The language and tools of Exxon [NYSE: XOM] and IBM [NYSE: IBM] have merged.
Information acquisition, processing and rendering – putting it in a useful form – is the sine qua non of the oil patch today. We've gone from zero digital bytes per barrel of oil found, to something like megabtyes of data processed per barrel. At that rate, we're on track to extabytes of oil-centric digital traffic annually. For context, the entire global Internet today is still counted in the several hundred exabyte range. (An exabyte is a million gigabytes; annual global Internet was about one exabyte ten years ago.)

Estate Planning 1012011 – Articles Practical Advice
Estate planning is a method by which an individual's objectives for the disposition and management of their affairs and property are accomplished. A typical estate planning client must weigh the needs of their spouse/partner and/or children, the obligations for support of those individuals, as well as their desires with respect to distribution of property and wealth among family, friends and others. Some individuals may have charitable inclinations that provide tax saving advantages. Business owners must prepare for business succession planning and the control over and continuity of their business. Additionally, end-of-life planning should be addressed at the same time, including the nomination of someone to handle financial and medical decisions on your behalf should you be unable to make those decisions for yourself. If you prepare and organize your affairs during your lifetime, you ensure a smoother transition and administration of your estate for your loved ones with the possibility of tax savings and increasing their inheritance. The following steps will help you to focus on what should be considered when embarking on an estate plan to accomplish your goals and objectives.

Yes I did.
Not only did i make macarons, I made macarons in Paris.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that equates to double the Brittany is a Parisienne points. N'est-ce pas?
Ok, so technically we made french macarons in Paris using the Italian method, but that's neither here nor there and you don't care about that and neither do I. And that does NOT take away from my Brittany is a Parisienne points.
The making of the macarons:
A few weeks back, I found out about La Cuisine de Paris, a warm, welcoming, 100% ex-pat friendly cooking school, via none other than Sir David Lebovitz himself.
No, he hasn't been knighted, but I kinda just knighted him there.. ish.. didn't I. Henceforth known as Sir David.
No, scratch that. Master David. As in Jedi Master. As in my Jedi Master of Paris and all things food.
Woah woah woah, back to the point. So David was hosting a rendezvous, hot chocolate drinking, macaron-eating and book signing the following day at La Cuisine de Paris and he posted it on his bloggity.
I did some interweb creepin'.
Turned out that La cuisine offers a full range of English taught cooking, pastry-making, and market perusing classes. I saw Macarons.
Done. Booked.
I know, I know. BRITT what are you doing. You're in France to learn French. Get out of that damn english speaking cooking class and sign up for one of their (available!) French cooking classes, you weak-willed female.
My excuses: It was like, my second week here, chill. Even listening to the explanations for the delays on the metro PA system stressed me out. Also, it's a super great way to meet other expats in the same situation. Networking people. Networking. Oh yeah, finally, I actually wanted to know HOW to make the macarons. Sure I'd be able to get the gist of it en Français, but guaranteed I would mis-interperet some extra important tip like wait for at least two days before you try to eat your macarons or else they will be dry and less awesome, for something wrong and similar like, don't wait two days before eating the macarons or else they will be dry and not awesome. Heed the warning and avoid temptation for the first two days, believe you me.
How was the class you ask?
– I met fellow macaron enthusiasts. There was Jenny, the instructor and former Ladurée pastry chef herself (who now runs her own pastry show at Kooka boora café), there was David, a fellow food blogger fresh on the Parisian culinary scene, and there were countless others to help me measure out passionfruit purée or swoon over our little almond-based children.
– I learned the process, start to finish. Aaand a few little tips and tricks. I wanted my Macs to have "feet" and damn straight, we got feet.
– I had a few laughs. Hey there Dave. You've got a little meringue on your face. It's been there for twenty minutes.
– I felt at home. In Paris. At home in Paris. I think that means I'm Parisienne? Yes indeed it does. I was in Paris, learning to do as they do, and didn't feel overwhelmed, or stressed, or like I definitely didn't have the right paperwork to survive the day, which is otherwise often the case.
Please, if you're in Paris, take home a souvenir like this.
One part memorable.
Another part edible.
My final tip? watch what you're doing with your hands while you're piping. Making such delicate creations shouldn't be so offensive. C'mon self. Think of the children.
OH OH! Did I tell you who got to eat my Macarons the next day at La Cuisine de Paris?!
Master David Lebovitz himself. I warned him I would make a ridiculous face. Hi David.
To bring 'er all back: This week is my first (of many) breaks from school. WOO. I'm headed to the Swiss Alps to the town of Interlaken. Yes. It is between two lakes. Funny how names work.
I'm going to go skiiiiiiing (or boarding). I'm going to eat fooonduuuueee. I'm going to take piiiictuuuures. I'm going to tell you all about it. It's going to be fabulous. It has to be. I have yet to meet a swiss individual that I did not adore. Or a swiss cheese.
Until next time amigos.

Peeps & Company National Harbor Reviews
621 reviews
A must for fans of Peeps candies! Apr 30, 2011
Peeps & Company is a retail store of Just Born, the makers of Peeps, Mike & Ike, and Hot Tamales candies. The ever-popular Peeps dominate, though. (Peeps are colorful marshmallow candies in different shapes. They started as yellow baby chick candies for Easter--Peeps--but now include pastel bunnies, ghosts and bats for Halloween, and Santas and Christmas trees for Christmas.)
As well as all the varieties and flavors of Just Born candy, the store has souvenir items for the Peeps fan. There are magnets, T-shirts, caps, pens, hoodies, and more Peeps themed merchandise for children and adults.
There are even displays of Peeps art. (Designs made out of real Peeps.)
We bought a small bag of dark chocolate Peepsters, solid chocolate drops. I hadn't seen Peepsters before, and don't recall them in retail candy counters. Mmm.
The store opened at National Harbor in 2009 and so far is the only one.
Lots of fun!

A fascinating difference in smartphone buying behaviour got highlighted today. In the US, Apple has double the market share of its nearest competitor, Samsung. However, in The Netherlands, the swamp I call home, the situation is completely reversed; Apple sits at 10% of the smartphone market, Samsung at 19.6%. Is this indicative of Europe as a whole? Could German, French, Polish, British, Spanish, Italian, etc. readers give local information from their own countries? I'm intrigued.

Denmark, a first mover-country in world/Europe, we usually get used as tryout-country before anyone else, because demographics shows us as a very average people, but small, avoiding big disasters when entering new products on world scene.
A recent survey (Gallup, Denmark) shows that Apple has has 37% share of smartphone market. Smartphone penetration is up to 2.1 million people from 1.2 yesteryear (we're app. 5.5 mill pop).
Sidenote: Tablet penetration is exploding in Denmark, 1/10 households have a tablet, mostly ipads!

If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Every summer I pick and freeze a ton of blueberries precisely with the intention of making pancakes. See, come winter, I often crave pancakes. For dinner. Yes, I go home from work promptly at 5 pm (it's already dark, of course) and make a batch of pancakes stuffed with blueberries. I cover them with butter and maple syrup. I'm usually done and in my pajamas by 6. It's a tradition I will carry over to this summer, though these pancakes are good enough maybe I'll have to make a batch with some fresh blueberries, too. —Erin McDowell
Serves 2
- 2/3 cup all purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- pinch salt
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup blueberries (or more)
- butter and maple syrup, for finishing
- In a small bowl, whisk the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together.
- In another small bowl, whisk the butter, buttermilk, zest, and vanilla together.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing just to combine.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spray with nonstick spray. Ladle the pancake batter into the hot pan, and dot generously with blueberries.
- Flip when the batter starts to bubble, cooking until the pancakes are golden brown and puffed, about 3-4 minutes per side. Serve with butter and maple syrup.

The Carter Family has more art in their home than most, yet they still take the time to attend meaningful exhibitions in Brooklyn and around New York City like normal people, and that's why they are better than you.
Beyoncé shared these photos of the family in front of Kara Walker's Marvelous Sugar Baby sphinx yesterday on her blog. Blue Ivy is still too young to appreciate all the culture that they are bestowing upon her, but the fact that they are doing it anyway is pretty awesome.
If you haven't already, you may want to check out A Subtlety before the lames see these photos and the lines get twice as long. It ends on July 6.

April 15, 2004
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) Commissioner Gretchen Dykstra today released results of two comprehensive Citywide stings conducted over the past eight months and intended to crack down on illegal sales of box cutters, laser pointers, and spray paint to minors. DCA conducted 230 inspections using undercover teens throughout the City, including 100 stores in neighborhoods containing the City's 12 Impact Schools. Results of inspections over the past eight months show high compliance Citywide: 79% of stores did not sell box cutters; 85% did not sell spray paint; and 96% did not sell laser pointers to kids under 18. Stores that were not in compliance received violations for each sale and the maximum penalties allowed by law. Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly and Schools Chancellor Joel I. Klein joined the Mayor for the announcement at Big John's Department Store in Brooklyn.
"Box cutters and laser pointers pose serious safety issues for children and unnecessary hazards for our police officers and teachers, while spray paint invites graffiti into our neighborhoods, hurting our quality of life," said Mayor Bloomberg. "Box cutters, spray paint and laser pointers should never be in the hands of minors and we're working hard to make sure stores get the message that these items aren't sold."
"Compliance among stores is high because businesses are getting the message," said DCA Commissioner Gretchen Dykstra. "Conducting strategic sweeps throughout the five boroughs, combined with routine inspections and increased business education, allows us to effectively cover more ground, and we'll continue to do so."
"Box cutters were once the weapon of choice for gang members. But even on this front we are seeing progress," said Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly. "Gang-related slashings are half of what they were at this point last year. In addition to restrictions on sales, the law that restricts possession of box cutters to persons who use them in legitimate employment, like shipping clerks, has been tremendously helpful."
Compliance rates for box cutters, laser pointers and spray paint are broken down below:
In 2002, Home Depot paid the City $125,000 to settle multiple counts of selling box cutters and aerosol spray paint to kids. As part of the agreement, Home Depot revised its procedures, trained personnel so that they are aware of City law, and restricted the display and sale of box cutters and aerosol spray paint cans. In addition, Home Depot has maintained its equipment so that registers automatically prompt cashiers to check ID of purchasers. Follow-up inspections show increased compliance.
Under New York City's Consumer Protection and Public Safety laws, it is illegal to sell box cutters, laser pointers, and spray paint to anyone under the age of 18. Maximum fines are $500 per illegal sale of box cutters and spray paint, and $300 per illegal sale of laser pointers. In addition, DCA routinely inspects stores for illegal sales of fake guns.
In an effort to make sure businesses know the law, the DCA increased outreach by creating and distributing thousands of new materials, including What Retailers Need to Know and What Service Companies Need to Know, in both English and Spanish. To report a store selling illegal items to minors or for more information, call 311 or visit the Department of Consumer Affair's Web site through www.nyc.gov.

Mom's Best Tuna Macaroni Salad
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: My mom has been making this salad every summer since I was a child. It is hands down the tastiest and cremiest tuna macaroni salad I've ever had - and always wins rave reviews from guests. Although simple, she experimented a bit before she got it right. Great with steak, burgers, chicken or just on it's own for lunch! —There'sAlwaysPie
Serves 10-12
- 16 ounces Cavatappi (corkscrew) pasta. You can also use any other large shaped pasta that will hold a chunky salad.
- 2 stalks of celery diced small
- 1 small sweet onion chopped
- 5 hard boiled eggs chopped
- 1 5 oz. can of tuna fish in water - drained
- 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise - I prefer Hellman's
- 1/2 cup Miracle Whip
- 1 squirt of mustard
- 2 tablespoons season salt - I prefer McCormick Season All
- Cook pasta according to directions and then rinse with cold water.
- In a bowl mix together cooled pasta, tuna fish, celery, onion and egg.
- Mix in mayonnaise, Miracle Whip, mustard and seasoned salt. Stir well. If you taste it and it seems salty, don't worry the flavors will meld in the next step. (I'll be honest that I don't actually measure out these ingredients, but rather eyeball them. So, if it seems a little dry add a bit more mayonnaise/Miracle Whip by the tablespoon)
- Cover and let sit in fridge for at least 4 hours to let flavors absorb and blend. Periodically take it out and stir, if the pasta looks dry add a little more mayonnaise/Miracle Whip. Also if needs more season salt you can add a few shakes to taste.
- Serve cold!

As humans we are forever evolving, or if we're not, we should be. We should be trying new foods and finding which ones are the most important to our individual life and eating style.
Over the years I've posted my list of superfoods and realize it's time for an update. I've grown to depend on some foods more than others to keep me nourished, happy and healthy. Below is a list of foods I eat every week, some every day.
1. Almonds – Almonds are a prime source of protein and healthy oil. They have been found to reduce LDL cholesterol, and, when eaten with a meal, lower blood sugar. Almonds are high in vitamin E, magnesium, potassium and antioxidants. The best thing about almonds is that they are filling. I eat a few each morning with breakfast and it helps me stay full until lunch. You can add almonds to salads, vegetable dishes, yogurt and baked goods.
2. Olive Oil – Olive oil is a key part of the Mediterranean Diet and is most known for its anti-inflammatory benefits and ability to reduce total blood cholesterol. It's also been shown to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of some cancers. Keep in mind when cooking with olive oil that it has a low smoke point so you don't want to get it too hot or it will lose some of its health benefits. Drizzle olive oil on breads, salads and garden vegetables.
3. Blueberries – Blueberries are also famous for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These berries are also believed to improve cognitive benefits and memory. They may even slow down cognitive problems that are associated with aging. Blueberries are best when fresh but can also be frozen. They are abundant in vitamin K, vitamin C, fiber and manganese.
4. Bananas – There isn't anything that compares with bananas when it comes to post-workout recovery. They have more potassium than sports drinks plus they are a good source of vitamins B6 and C. Despite their sugar content, bananas are low on the glycemic index due to the amount of fiber and pectins they contain. Bananas can be added to smoothies, eaten with peanut butter or on their own.
5. Romaine Lettuce – Leafy, crunchy romaine lettuce is my favorite for salads. It is high in vitamins K, A, C and B1. Plus, it has fiber and folic acid that's not found in a lot of other foods. The best thing about romaine lettuce is its high nutritional value combined with being very low in calories.
6. Coffee – Okay, it's not actually a food but it has super powers. The proven benefits of coffee are that it helps reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, Parkinson's disease, and liver cancer. It also is known to improve cognitive function and mood and will jump start a workout. It comes in at zero calories when consumed without any creamers or sugar.
7. Peppers – Colorful bell peppers are a staple on my grocery list. I add them to pasta dishes, use them as a topping for pizza, and eat them as a snack with hummus. Peppers have more vitamin C than oranges, and are high in antioxidants. We grow mini sweet peppers in pots on the patio in the summer and by fall we have a harvest of beautiful peppers to eat.
8. Chia Seeds – Chia seeds are high in omega-3 fatty acids and have an abundance of antioxidants. They also provide calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, copper, iron, molybdenum, niacin, and zinc. Research has shown that eating chia can lead to improvement in certain health conditions and has long been known as runner's food. Aztec warriors ate chia seeds and it came them sustained energy. The seeds can be added to oatmeal, yogurt, breads, and sauces.
9. Garlic – The sulfur component of garlic is, in part, what makes it a super food. Sulfur is an important component for good health and helps keep blood pressure under control. Some people may be deficient in sulfur so a daily dose of garlic is a good way to replenish your supply. The best way to buy garlic is fresh and whole. You can use a garlic press or a knife to chop it before adding it to soups, salads, meats and main dishes.
10. Black Beans -Black beans are rich in fiber and protein which support the regulation of blood sugar. The beans are also a good supply of anti-inflammatory compounds and antioxidants and give support to the digestive tract. They are low in calories and high in protein and can be prepared in a variety of ways including black bean brownies.
I encourage everyone to experiment to find the foods that work for them. A super food is a whole food that is high in nutrition, has the ability to improve your health when eaten on a regular basis. Most important, they must be foods that you enjoy eating.
What foods are on your super food list?

Football The Focus Now For Cardiff City
Cardiff City's financial situation has been making the news far more regularly we'd wish, especially on the eve of a hugely important Champiosnhip clash against one of our rivals for a play-off spot.
After three successive and impressive wins, Cardiff City faltered losing at home to Plymouth and surrendering a 4-0 lead against Peterborough at London Road. That adds further significance to tomorrow's game at home to Blackpool FC, assuming that the weather does not intervene and necessitate another postponement.
Ian Holloway's side have been brilliant this season and sit in eight place in the league and with games in hand to regain the play-off place they have held for much of the season. The Seasiders have surprised many with their form, but are known to be less effective away from home.
Cardiff City captain Mark Hudson recently admitted that the players were aware of the financial uncertainty surrounding CCFC, but there is no room for that tomorrow. We were given a great many apologies and promises following the Peterborough debacle, and the fans will be desperately hoping for some cheer.
The fans turn up week in week out for the players, and the team. No matter what your feeling about the HMRC bill, and Peter Ridsdale's promises - tomorrow is not about those matters:
Cardiff City vs Blackpool FC - Support the boys!

Fisher community Trail
Distance: 1.8 miles
Difficulty: Moderate to difficult
The Fisher Trail provides a beautiful location for walkers who want a wilderness experience within walking distance of the center of Cuba. It begins at a parking area on the Cubita Road 1 mile north of the NM 197 junction. The trail follows contours of the side of a tree covered mesa uphill and downhill until it crosses a large arroyo. It then climbs to a ridge that leads to the nearest corner of Santa Fe National Forest. Cairns (large rock pile markers) end at this point. Ambitious hikers can continue through a break in the cliff to the top of Cuba Mesa. The trail crosses from pinon~juniper woodland to ponderosa-oak forest and provides striking views of sandstone cliffs, the Nacimiento Mountains and the Village of Cuba. Wildlife sightings are frequent here. Bring water.

Ace Frehley
"Paul Daniel Frehley", aka "Ace Frehley", is an American guitarist best known as a founding member and lead guitarist for the rock band KISS. Frehley played with the group from its inception in 1973 until his departure in 1982.
Ace Frehley
After leaving KISS, Frehley embarked on a moderately successful solo career, which was put on hold when he rejoined KISS in 1996 for a highly successful reunion tour. His second tenure with KISS lasted until 2002, when he left at the conclusion of the band's Farewell Tour. He has since resumed his solo career, although to date he has not released any new music.
Ace Frehley was born and raised in The Bronx, and was the youngest of three children. The Frehleys were a musical family, and Ace received an electric guitar as a Christmas present in 1964. Frehley immersed himself in music, and later stated that guitar playing prevented him from getting involved with drugs or local gangs. Frehley has cited guitarists such as Pete Townshend and Jeff Beck as his major musical influences.
When Frehley's band, Cathedral, started earning a series of paying gigs, Frehley dropped out of high school. At the insistence of his family and girlfriend, Frehl...

Recently, it seems all the press has been about UFC welterweight Nick Diaz and his recently declared retirement. Despite being a perennial championship contender and a big name in the sport, he declared he was done with the sport and that he was retiring following his loss to Georges St. Pierre. However, Diaz isn't the only member of his family to reach the upper echelons of mixed martial arts.
Nate Diaz, Nick's younger brother, is currently the No. 7 Lightweight in the world according to Sherdog and other major MMA organizations. Nate is actually only one fight removed from a Lightweight title match. But after losing to champion Benson Henderson and then dropping a fight to former Strikeforce lightweight champion Josh Thomson, it seems Nate's flame is dwindling. So, why is it that the press seems to forget how good Nate actually is, and why is it that even in this article about Nate, I started it off with two sentences about Nick?
Nate isn't quite as loud as his brother. Both guys run their mouths a lot and try to help perpetuate their "thug" image. Keep in mind both guys did grow up Stockton, Calif. and they weren't exactly surrounded by pretty flowers and great schools, but it seems at times that both guys really try to further their image by their actions and speech. In any case, Nick has been quicker to the mic than his younger brother, and with his recent decision to walk away from the sport, it seems that Nate has been swept under the rug. Nate was suspended and fined by the UFC for homophobic slurs on Twitter following his loss to Thomson, but other than that, he's been rather quiet coming off his two losses.
Losing to Josh Thomson certainly doesn't help things for Nate Diaz either. Thomson, a Strikeforce import, is a quality fighter but isn't a name to casual fight fans and far more people are familiar with Nate than Josh so it definitely stung to drop one to a fighter he was favored to beat. Count that it's his second loss in a row and that also doesn't bode well for the younger Diaz. Nate has been quiet, which is probably good news for him, and it appears he's going to stay that way and let his fighting do the talking which is definitely a good thing.
So, what's next for Nate? Well, there's a few options, the best of which is an Anthony Pettis loss to Henderson in their upcoming title fight rematch. If Pettis loses decisively to Henderson, he'll have to climb the ladder again, and a great place to start would be with Nate.
Pettis is a violent striker and Nate is a quality boxer with a substantial BJJ game. The fight could be seriously entertaining and would give each fighter a chance to notch another high-quality win. The other two options that make the most immediate sense for Diaz would be for him to fight the winner of Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Pat Healy or Rafael dos Anjos, provided he beats Donald Cerrone. Any of those three fighters would allow Nate to fight a fellow top-10 Lightweight and a win against any of them would send him back into the public eye.
Diaz has been flying under the radar. It's probably a good thing for him to stay out of the public eye, because it seems not much good comes from the Diaz Brothers in the press. However, fight fans shouldn't forget Nate or dismiss him. He's still as dangerous as he's ever been.

So, clearly the developers are making minor changes to affliction, and seemingly trying to overhaul the other two specs (imo)...
The only thing I saw that was "lulwut" was the Master Conjuror changing from 15/30 to 150/300. So of course, this will only benefit the demo/destro hybrid (which, by still looking at the changes, is still the only way I see possible of those specs).
Also, it looks like the 3% bump in CoE is now enough to start using it in a rotation even with a Boomkin or DK.
At any rate, it doesn't look like I'm going to be altering my affliction tree build anywhere, and since I don't need to put a point in Cataclysm and MC being pushed down, I have 3 free points (5 if I decide the points in Ruin aren't enough to make me keep them)
What I was noticing was the Soul Siphon talent, and how Developers combining S/L and Corruption will now reduce one dot. Sure this will "simplify" an already "complex" rotation (complex for the 1st two days, maybe), but this also will reduce our DS execute by 4%.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm not misreading the talents, corruption is an aff spell, and I don't recall reading any notes on that downside when they released that info.

BOISE, Idaho - It's not easy being a pudgy pachyderm.
Everyone - from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals to the U.S. Department of Agriculture - seems to weigh in with opinions on trimming Maggie the elephant's waistline or suggestions for putting extra energy in her heavy step.
But soon Maggie may become a bit less massive. Keepers at the Alaska Zoo in Anchorage, where Maggie lives, are preparing to install the world's first elephant exercise treadmill.
"All I know is it seems like a good idea to get a sedentary animal moving," said Sid Cannon, the fit-looking vice president of Boise, Idaho-based Conveyor Engineering, a company that designs the heavy-duty conveyor systems used in mining. "I figured that we put rocks on our conveyors that are as big as an elephant, and a treadmill is basically a conveyor, so building one would be no big deal."
Not so fast.
Cannon first heard about the search for a company to make the elephant treadmill while watching the evening news. He called up John Seawell, who heads up the elephant habitat at the Alaska Zoo and offered the services of Conveyor Engineering - for free.
"I thought it was a neat idea, and wanted to do some good works. We do a little community service, but rarely have the opportunity to help people with our work," he said. "Little did we know that this is a controversial thing."
In the wild, African elephants stay on the move about 16 hours a day foraging for food and water. But Maggie, like all zoo elephants, is confined. The cold Alaska winters keep her indoors part of the year. And though elephants are naturally herd animals, Maggie has been alone since 1997 when the zoo's other elephant, Annabelle, died of a chronic foot infection.
That's got some animal advocates pushing to have Maggie retired to a sanctuary or moved to a zoo in a warmer climate.
"There's no comparison to a treadmill versus life in the wild or in a sanctuary," said Nicole Meyer, an elephant specialist with PETA. "Female elephants are highly social and to keep them in solitary confinement is completely cruel."
Seawell hopes the treadmill will stem some criticism.
"It's kind of hard to get that kind of movement in captivity. So a common problem as they get older is they get joint problems. We hope (the treadmill) is exercise she'll enjoy taking," Seawell said. "She could stand to lose a couple of hundred pounds, but out of a weight of 9,200 pounds it's somewhat insignificant."
Animal treadmills are nothing new - the exercise wheel is standard equipment for pet mice. Some veterinarians use partially submerged, aquatic therapy treadmills to help to help injured dogs regain mobility. EquiGym, a Lexington, Ky.-based company, designs and sells high-speed treadmills for race horses. There's even a company producing treadmills for race camels.
But until recently, an elephant treadmill was unheard of. Seawell and Cannon turned to EquiGym owner Leonie Seesing Ommundson for guidance. "We're dealing with an elephant," Seesing said, "which has tremendous brain capacity."
Expected to be installed sometime this summer, the treadmill will be just over 20 feet long and five feet wide. Elephants walk by simultaneously moving two legs at a time along a path only about 18 inches wide, so the machine has to be able to withstand concentrated weight. It will be buried in a pit so that the surface is roughly level with the ground, with safety rails on either side of the treadmill's belt.
"Our biggest concern is that we break the elephant," Cannon said.
For extra safety, Cannon decided to use a computerized drive that can sense the amount of torque on the treadmill pad and adjust accordingly. That way, the motor will automatically stop if the elephant suddenly stops. The treadmill will also include eight speed levels and an incline option.
And because Cannon feared the traditional stitching line that binds the treadmill belt together would look like a ditch or barrier to sensitive animal eyes, the belt will be bound with an invisible, angled splice.
"We hope that within a half a years' time, Maggie will be up to where she's spending between two and three hours a day on the machine with a maximum one hour at a time," Seawell said.
Diet isn't an issue. Maggie already gets lots of fiber, eating about 10 pounds of horse feed in the morning, fortified with a vitamin and mineral supplement. She gets a side dish of a pound or two of fruit and hay throughout the day, along with her favorite snacks: fresh birch trees and dandelions.
Of course, training an elephant to walk on a treadmill is another matter. Seawell plans to install the machine in the pathway between Maggie's indoor barn and the rest of her outdoor habitat area. They will give her some time to get used to the presence of the machine before turning it on.
Cannon, meanwhile, said he's enjoyed working on the treadmill but doesn't plan to make any more.
"We just thought this would be a nice thing to do, and then started looking on the Internet and saw the negative side. They have their point of view, and that's fine," Cannon said. "I know from talking to the people at the zoo that they love their elephant. But when we're done with this one, we're going to turn the plans over to EquiGym. Mining is controversial enough."

When her friend Carson came to sleep over on the last day of school, Emma "ordered" pasta with red sauce (who knew? I thought she hated tomato sauce). I suggested turkey meatballs, too, and she thought that was a great idea. I've actually never made meatballs so I went back to the recipe for The Best Meatloaf, and winged it by adding several of the ingredients to the ground turkey. The kids loved it, and I consider 11-year-olds girls very harsh critics indeed. Add to that the fact that Bruce asked for leftovers the next night, and I'd say this was a success. Try it and let me know…or give the meatloaf a go (it's a hit whenever I make it for a dinner party and we're talking grown-up critics, who often can be pretty severe, too).
Serves two 11-year-old girls and two adults, with leftovers
1 1/4 lb. ground turkey
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup Parmesan, plus more for sprinkling on top
1 egg
1/3 cup bread crumbs
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning (good if you're using tomato sauce)
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 cups of your favorite tomato sauce (I usually make mine, but a good brand of prepared would work, too)
1 lb. thick spaghetti
To make the meatballs, lightly mix the ground turkey with the mayonnaise, Parmesan, egg, breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper. Shape into balls (Emma asked for medium-sized meatballs), and saute until brown on the outside and just cooked throughout.
Dump meatballs into tomato sauce and heat until warm and flavors meld.
Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain, return to pot and add the sauce. Toss gingerly so as to keep the meatballs intact. Plate, and sprinkle with more Parmesan.

That spawnkillable code basically echos the os process id back to Erlang and then uses exec to replace itself with the requested command. Well behaved processes are expected to still close when they detect that their stdin has been closed. It all seems less than ideal, so I'd also be quite interested if someone knows of a better way to handle such things.

Florida Gators: Tim Tebow's Fall From GraceNovember 3, 2009
In the SEC, as well as the entire NCAA, no one is more hated, yet respected, than Tim Tebow.
As a Tennessee Volunteer fan, I have feared, but respected him for four years.
He is a man of conviction, devotion and until yesterday, great character.
I always admired Tebow for his continual stance that he is a man of great faith, constantly witnessing to others through his words, and actions.
It takes someone with a special kind of faith to desire the stage, the platform and the mountain he relishes, in order to spread the Gospel. It is a message more of us should want to hear, but unfortunately sometimes don't consider as important as the score of the current ballgame, or the beginning of a good movie.
Tebow wears verses from the bible under his eyes like a billboard to spread the good word. His actions in life speak to his conviction. It is the single reason he is so respected despite being a thorn in the side of every other college program he plays.
On Saturday, Brandon Spikes, a co-captain to Tebow, committed a grotesque act in which he attempted to gouge the eyes out of a freshman running back at Georgia. The video itself will make your skin crawl.
There is no question of the act, or the intentions of the aggressor.
Oddly enough, it does not surprise me as much that Spikes committed the act, or that head coach Urban Myer looked the other way with his pitiful half game suspension. Neither person can be, or has been, labeled for their great character.
What does surprise me is Tebow's reaction.
"I don't think that we did anything in that game that they didn't do," Tebow told reporters.
Really, Tim? That is your stance?
Don't get me wrong, things happen at the bottom of a pile, during a football game, that are not meant for younger eyes to see.
In addition, I understand a player's need to stick up for his team-mate.
This is much bigger than both of those situations. Spikes wasn't pinching and scratching to try and get the ball. This was a blatant act to gouge the eyes of a player.
The sight of Spike's hand working feverishly to find the inside of the freshman's helmet, while the player lay helpless with a half a ton of bodies lying on top of him, made me squirm as if I was watching SAW VI.
Aside of Albert Haynesworth's despicable act against the Cowboys Andre Guroude, Spikes act was the most grotesque display of sportsmanship I have seen during a game in my 37 years.
Again, I expect Urban Myer to have a soft hand in response to this. The dozens of arrests that Florida players have had under Myer's watch have set a precedent as to Myers conviction. But Tebow is, or was, better than that.
Tebow's response is that he feels Spikes wasn't doing something that Georgia players weren't doing themselves.
That is the response of a seven-year-old after being caught stealing gum from the drug store.
Where is Tebow's conviction now?
Where is his message now?
Am I to believe that it is easy to spread the word when everything is running smoothly, but if the road starts to get rocky, it's OK to deviate from our moral responsibility?
Wearing "John 3:16" under your eyes for a big game is one thing, but when the chance comes to do the right thing in the face of adversity is when your message will be heard louder than ever.
Not only did Tebow miss that opportunity, he basically undid a mountain of good works by overlooking, and downplaying his team-mate's malicious act.
Tebow has stated in the past his life's mission is greater than football. I honestly believe that it is.
He just didn't show it.

Yesterday, House Speaker John BoehnerJohn Andrew Boehner4 reasons Mike Pompeo will succeed at Foggy Bottom The misunderstood reason Congress can't get its job done GOP sees McCarthy moving up — if GOP loses the House MORE (R-Ohio) published an orotund statement predicated on a lie, betting that Hispanic Americans are incapable of distinguishing between fact and fiction.
According to Boehner, President Obama's recent designation of the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks in New Mexico as a national monument — lands with deep historical and archeological significance to Hispanics and Native Americans — demonstrated "the president's fondness for unilateral action [that] has created widespread doubt among the American people that he and his administration can be counted on to enforce any law he signs, particularly when it comes to securing our nation's borders and reforming our immigration system."
Even so, what is the best case scenario? Incompetence instead of deception? Rogue staff? After a litany of objectively dubious statements about immigration reform in the past, it's hard to give Boehner the benefit of the doubt.
As I am sure the Speaker knows, under the Antiquities Act of 1906, signed into law by President Theodore Roosevelt, the president of the United States can designate national monuments without approval from Congress. The Supreme Court has upheld this power under statute.
The statute expressly authorizes the president to take the very same unilateral action that Boehner decried. In fact, Congress is only mentioned in the statute as having passed the law. As the text clearly explains, all power is given to the executive.
Boehner's linking of a perfectly legal and appropriate act by the president to Republicans' serial blocking of immigration reform is not only a lie, it's an insult to Hispanic Americans.
Are people seriously expected to believe that the GOP has killed immigration reform over and over again because the president has designated a national monument with particular importance to Hispanics in New Mexico?
One of the exhausted war horses of the anti-reform Republicans has been "border security." This obsession with the southern border comes in spite of repeated certifications by the Department of Homeland Security that the border is in fact secure.
Further unmasking this obsession as a poor excuse for repeatedly killing immigration reform is the fact that the comprehensive immigration reform bill passed by the Senate last year, which Boehner refuses to bring up for a vote, has appropriated close to $40 billion dollars for further border security measures.
For context, the Navy's new Gerald R. Ford-class of super-carriers clocks-in at some $11 billion a ship.
Jenny Burke, a spokeswoman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said that "[t]his designation will in no way limit our ability to perform our important border security mission, and in fact provides important flexibility as we work to meet this ongoing priority."
It's also curious that this particular national monument has caused such an uproar. Could this be yet another attempt to erase Hispanics' 500-year history on this continent — a history of contributions that pre-date Plymouth Rock and continues to this day?
If Boehner thinks that this cynical and fantastical re-interpretation of his inability to deliver immigration reform will be seen as truthful and credible by America's fastest-growing group of voters, then he is even more disconnected from electoral reality than he usually seems.
As the song says, "politicians lie and I am not fooled." Ain't that the truth?

Troubles Grow For a University Built on Profits
By SAM DILLON
Published: February 11, 2007
The University of Phoenix became the nation's largest private university by delivering high profits to investors and a solid, albeit low-overhead, education to midcareer workers seeking college degrees.
But its reputation is fraying as prominent educators, students and some of its own former administrators say the relentless pressure for higher profits, at a university that gets more federal student financial aid than any other, has eroded academic quality.
According to federal statistics and government audits, the university relies more on part-time instructors than all but a few other postsecondary institutions, and its accelerated academic schedule races students through course work in about half the time of traditional universities. The university says that its graduation rate, using the federal standard, is 16 percent, which is among the nation's lowest, according to Department of Education data. But the university has dozens of campuses, and at many, the rate is even lower.
In an interview, William J. Pepicello, the university's new president, defended its academic quality and said it met the needs of working students who had been largely ignored by traditional colleges.
But many students say they have had infuriating experiences at the university before dropping out, contributing to the poor graduation rate. In recent interviews, current and former students in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington who studied at University of Phoenix campuses in those states or online complained of instructional shortcuts, unqualified professors and recruiting abuses. Many of their comments echoed experiences reported by thousands of other students on consumer Web sites.
The complaints have built through months of turmoil. The president resigned, as did the chief executive and other top officers at the Apollo Group, the university's parent corporation. A federal court reinstated a lawsuit accusing the university of fraudulently obtaining hundreds of millions of dollars in financial aid. The university denies wrongdoing. Apollo stock fell so far that in November, CNBC featured it on a ''Biggest Losers'' segment. The stock has since gained back some ground. In November, the Intel Corporation excluded the university from its tuition reimbursement program, saying it lacked top-notch accreditation.
It adds up to a damaging turnaround for an institution that rocketed from makeshift origins here in 1976 to become the nation's largest private university, with 300,000 students on campuses in 39 states and online. Its fortunes are closely watched because it is the giant of for-profit postsecondary education; it received $1.8 billion in federal student aid in 2004-5.
''Wall Street has put them under inordinate pressure to keep up the profits, and my take on it is that they succumbed to that,'' said David W. Breneman, dean of the Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia. ''They seem to have really stumbled.''
In the interview, Dr. Pepicello shrugged off the bad news. Many top corporations still pay for employees to attend the university, he said, and the exodus of top officials has resulted from a healthy search for new directions. ''We are reinventing ourselves,'' Dr. Pepicello said.
The government measures graduation rates as the percentage of first-time undergraduates who obtain a degree within six years. On average across all American universities, the rate is 55 percent. Dr. Pepicello said this was a poor yardstick for comparing other universities with his, which serves mostly older students who started college elsewhere. Alongside the 16 percent rate, the university Web site also publishes a 59 percent graduation rate, but that is based on nonstandard calculations and does not allow comparison with other universities, he said. The official rates at some University of Phoenix campuses are extremely low -- 6 percent at the Southern California campus, 4 percent among online students -- and he acknowledged extraordinary attrition among younger students.
''We have not done as good a job as we could,'' he said, adding that the university was creating tutoring and other services to help keep students.
''The university takes quality in the classroom seriously,'' he said. The university brings a low-overhead approach not only to its campuses, most of which are office buildings near freeways, but also to its academic model. About 95 percent of instructors are part-time, according to federal statistics, compared with an average of 47 percent across all universities. Most have full-time day jobs. Courses are written at university headquarters, easing class preparation time for instructors.
The College Board reports the university's annual tuition and fees as $9,630, about half the average at private four-year colleges and twice that of four-year public colleges.
Students take one course at a time, online or in evening classes, which meet for four hours, once a week, for five or six weeks, depending on degree level. As a result, students spend 20 to 24 hours with an instructor during each course, compared with about 40 hours at a traditional university. The university also requires students to teach one another by working on projects for four or five hours per week in what it calls ''learning teams.''

Skip to comments.Intelligent design to be taught in Queensland schools under national curriculum
Posted on 05/29/2010 4:06:26 PM PDT by naturalman1975
CREATIONISM and intelligent design will be taught in Queensland state schools for the first time as part of the new national curriculum.
Creationists dismiss the science of evolution, instead believing that living things are best explained by an intelligent being or God, rather than an undirected process such as natural selection.
The issue of creationism being taught in schools has caused huge controversy in the US, where some fundamentalist religious schools teach it as a science subject instead of Darwin's theory of evolution.
In Queensland schools, creationism will be offered for discussion in the subject of ancient history, under the topic of "controversies".
(Excerpt) Read more at couriermail.com.au ...
What's your opinion on this?
Personally I accept evolution and I expect it to be taught. I have no fundamental problem with other ideas being taught, but where they belong, and it's not ancient history.
You say you accept evolution. Would please explain one thing to me? What is the source of information? Information controls life and the rest of the universe. What is the source of that information?
Prion proteins are organic molecules. They somehow "know" to replicate. What is the source of that information?
It was built into them. Nature doesn't just "know" anything.
I do not understand your question - what do you mean by 'information'?
The molecules?
Creationism is certainly controversial, so I suppose that's the right topic under which it should be discussed.
But, under which topic will Intelligent Design be discussed?
Creationism is taught in U.S. schools, too. Under the topic of 'theology'.
Personally, I have no fundamental problem with the idea that life and its rules, the things that make it work, were created by an intelligent designer. The theory of evolution doesn't explain how life began. It describes a mechanism that can explain how it developed from that starting point.
I accept evolution as the best explanation as to how the diversity of life on earth has developed. I don't believe it explains how life began. I regard evolution as the mechanism God put in place to do his work.
Thus, the nucleotides (symbols) of DNA are arranged in a sequence (rules) so that specific amino acids can be assembled in a similar manner to create a protein chain to create (action) an organism to accomplish some purpose in the being. This can in no wise be a random process, it's complexity alone argues for intentionality. The "information" is the blueprint to make that happen.
But you are assuming genetic perfection, for the above to hold as "information". In reality, it's not always so. Errors are included, which cause abnormalities which are filtered out by natural selection-sorting; both being continual processes, as error generation is intrinsic to the randomness involved in the gene formation processes. The complexity witnessed today is the result of innumerable iterations of the build-up processes connecting all the way back to the initial assemblies, which needn't necessarily have been as complex, but would have established the foundation for the processes to build from. If this initial formation can be replicated in the lab, using purely physical interactions replicable by the natural world, then the entire "intelligence" argument collapses.
Again, if complexity is the argument, then suppose the instance of a dust cloud drifting in space being pulled into the gravitational field of a mass system that it approaches. If the interacting forces kick-start a chain reaction leading to the coalescence of the particles into planetary bodies, orbiting the mass system, in precise paths and if further interactions within each entity enhance the system even more, then, when viewed from outside the frame, such a system could be deemed as sufficiently "complex", with mathematically-defined motions of the interacting entities. Why is such a formation any less complex than that of genetics?
The real issue is a tautological question that of course gets cast aside because of the moral judgment and pre biased view that scientists and logisticians have concerning tautoligical issues; that tautologies are never true and can't be a part of true 'rational discussion's' involving science and logic.
Where did gravity and quarks and stellar dust come from...and how does one define a genetic error when no one can define a perfect genetic code?
And why search for meaning when some would argue that the pain involved is not a evolutionary necessity and the resurrection of God a fantasy...why not just eat, copulate and perish...?(or as the apostle Paul said"If there be no Resurrection of the dead, then let us eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we die!"
"The Resurrection is a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the greeks"(the learned scientists and philosophers of Paul's day)2 Timothy.
These questions are nothing really new at their core, yet in their modern multi threaded contexts are just like cotton candy in their complexity...spun out, tangled and puffed up but melts down to 3 tablespoons of sugar and a sticky dryness in the throat!
We verbally dodge and weave to avoid the larger question...where did the existence of the universe itself derive from and from hence came "IS"?("why why that's God talk...nope nope we can't any of that nonsense in a logical discussion!!!!!ahem ahem)
However, belief in dark matter has absolutely nothing to do with the existence and source of information.
NOTE: one skeptic does not negate a man's work. There are far more who accept his work, and support it.

Job quantity down; Quality employees still sought
Employers surveyed at Miami Universitys annual fall career fair say motivation and drive are essential for this years graduates seeking to enter the job market.
Miamis career planning and placement office queried nearly 170 organizations that came to interview students last month. Their responses:
• Communications skills remain the most desired quality in candidates, while motivation and drive have moved into second place. Good grades and academic ability are the third most desirable trait and leadership qualities are a close fourth.
• 34% of employers anticipate a greater number of entry-level hires this coming year. Fourteen percent anticipate fewer hires.
• 66% of the participants recruit at less than 10 schools annually. While 13% anticipate going to more schools this year, 19% will be going to fewer.
Employers had these words of wisdom for Miami students: In this economic time, students need to be more focused on their goals, more prepared than ever in their interviews and willing to compete in this difficult market.
Most employers indicated they continue to be impressed by the caliber of Miami student candidates.
Student participation was at its greatest level to date. More than 2,500 students attended the September 17 career fair.

DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ga.,None - A Douglas County man said he can show anyone how to legally occupy vacant, foreclosed homes. It's a new twist on a scheme Channel 2 Action News exposed last year. Roderick Walker's clients file an Affidavit of Adverse Possession and move right into the house.
"A lot of these houses are just in limbo, it's nobody's house," said Walker. "The bank says it's theirs, which they stole it too, it's fraudulent,"
Walker said he's helped at least 15 people so far, and most haven't had any issues. In fact, Walker said several times police have shown up, looked at the paperwork and then left his clients alone.
"I moved here in July, and I've had no problems whatsoever," said Walker, of his three-bedroom, 2 1/2-bath home on Mackenzie Court in Douglasville. It was once worth nearly $300,000. Walker paid nothing.
"That sounds a little too good to be true," asked Channel 2 investigative reporter Jodie Fleischer.
"I hear that all the time, Jodie, all the time," Walker responded. "I get these crazy looks on a lot of people's faces."
He said with his house, the owners just walked away. It hasn't even been foreclosed on yet. He runs a Facebook page advertising his adverse possession services, with pictures of beautiful homes literally for the taking. But it isn't without risk.
Har'rell Chisolm got caught in the bank's eviction process against the prior owner of a house on Prestley Mill Road. Deputies dumped all of Chisolm's belongings on the front lawn, most of which were broken or stolen, while he was in jail for criminal trespassing.
"All my personal papers, everything; I mean my whole entire life is gone," said Chisolm. "It wasn't a fire. It's unacceptable, because all they had to do is do what I was doing. I was following a law, that's it," he added.
Chisolm said he had already notified the sheriff's office and foreclosure attorney that he was challenging ownership on the house. He believes the bank's foreclosure is fraudulent, based on different signatures for a man named Troy Crouse, who was the subject of a Channel 2 investigation, into robo-signing and questionable foreclosures.
"It's not a criminal thing, it's a civil matter," said Chisolm. "They have seven years to contest it and file in superior court, show up with their documents and proof, and then you start the process of eviction. Or I can leave on my own."
He said he still plans to fight the foreclosure in court, and eventually move back in. Under Georgia's Adverse Possession law, if he successfully lives there for seven years, the house legally becomes his.
It's a law originally designed to address property disputes, for example, questions about property lines between neighbors.
"It's a law," said Chisolm. "If they want to no longer have this issue, then they need to do something about getting rid of that law."
But the law does have a stipulation that the adverse possession must not have originated with fraud. It does not specifically define what's fraudulent, or say anything about taking over a house.
Fleischer left several messages for Douglas County District Attorney David McDade to weigh in on the legality of all of this. His assistant said he was unavailable.

Ofsted has judged Guilsborough Primary School to be good following a recent inspection.
The school was given the mark by the Government inspector and was good in the last inspection in 2011.
Outgoing headteacher Tony Henretty said: "I am absolutely delighted with the verdict. I am particularly pleased the teaching of Year Two and Six children was judged to be outstanding.
"The standards that Ofsted judge schools by have increased dramatically and I think for us to obtain a good was excellent.
"I am very pleased that we had the inspection just before my retirement because it means I can go out with my head held high knowing that it is a good school.
"There are one or two areas for improvement but I am sure this will be worked on and make it an even better school."
Ofsted also judged the school to be good in the areas of pupils' achievement, quality of teaching, pupils' behaviour and the leadership and management of the school.
Picture above is the deputy headteacher Samone Johnson.

Dangerous Malaria Gives Researchers Concern
(Ivanhoe Newswire) — According to research from Penn State University, malaria parasites evolving in vaccinated laboratory mice become more lethal. The mice were injected with a critical component of several candidate human malaria vaccines that are currently being evaluated in clinical trials.
"Our research shows immunization with this particular type of malaria vaccine can create ecological conditions that favor the evolution of parasites that cause more severe disease in unvaccinated mice," Andrew Read, Alumni Professor of Biological Sciences at Penn State, was quoted as saying. "We are a long way from being able to assess the likelihood of this process occurring in humans, but our research suggests the need for vigilance. It is possible that more-virulent strains of malaria might evolve if a malaria vaccine goes into widespread use."The research showed that more-virulent malaria parasites evolved in response to vaccination, but the mechanism remains a mystery. It was not due to changes in the part of the parasite targeted by the vaccine.
There has never been a malaria vaccine approved for widespread use. "Effective malaria vaccines are notoriously difficult to develop because the malaria parasite is very complex. Hundreds of different malaria strains exist simultaneously within any local region where the disease is prevalent," Read was quoted as saying. Most vaccine developers only use small sections from the malaria parasite to create an antigen molecule that becomes an important ingredient in a highly purified malaria vaccine. For this study, researchers tested the antigen AMA-1, a component of several such vaccines that are now in differing stages of clinical trials.
"Our laboratory experiments followed clues from theoretical studies and earlier experiments that suggested that some malaria vaccines could favor the evolution of more-virulent malaria parasites," Read was quoted as saying. If candidate vaccines do not completely destroy all of the malaria parasites, the parasites that remain have opportunities to evolve. A mosquito could potentially transfer the evolved parasite from the vaccinated person into a new host in a process called "leaking."
"Leaky vaccines create a situation that further fosters parasite evolution," Read was quoted as saying.
The study found that the parasites that were causing worse malaria symptoms in unvaccinated mice evolved after consecutively "leaking" through as few as 10 vaccinated mice.
"The parasites that are able to survive in the immunized hosts must be stronger after having survived exposure to the vaccine," Read was quoted as saying. "The vaccine-induced immunity apparently removed the less virulent malaria parasites, but left the more virulent ones."
The AMA-1 antigen activates the body to make anti-malaria antibodies. These antibodies recognize the AMA-1 antigen on the parasites and restrict the malaria infection. The shape of the antigen ensures that the antibodies can securely bind with the malaria parasite -- like pieces in a puzzle -- an important step in producing immunity. Scientists already knew that vaccines become obsolete when evolutionary mutations change the parasite's antigen structure so that the antibody is not able to lock onto the targeted part of the parasite. However, this new study showed that the malaria parasite evolved within the vaccinated mice even without any noticeable changes in the antibody target on the parasite.
"We were surprised to find that more-virulent strains of malaria evolved even while the gene encoding the key antigen remained unchanged," Victoria Barclay, the postdoctoral scholar in Read's lab who conducted the laboratory experiments and who is the corresponding author of the PLoS Biology paper, was quoted as saying. "We did not detect any changes in the gene sequence." The researchers determined that evolution must have taken place somewhere in the parasite's genome. Read's lab now is searching for the exact locations on the parasite's DNA where the mutations occurred.
"Generalizing from animal models is notoriously difficult in malaria," Read was quoted as saying, so the researchers do not yet know if this newly recognized type of evolution could happen in human malaria or with other rapidly evolving diseases, like viruses that cause AIDS or cervical cancer. "What we do know is that in Victoria Barclay's experiments in our lab at Penn State; with our parasites, our mice, and with this particular antigen; the malaria parasites that evolved through vaccinated hosts become more virulent."
"Vaccines are one of the most fantastically cost-effective health gains we've ever had, so there is no question that we should proceed on all fronts to develop a safe and effective vaccine against malaria," Read was quoted as saying. "At the same time, our research is revealing new reasons to proceed with vigilant caution."
Read believes that vaccine researchers leading clinical trials should carefully monitor for parasite evolution at the vaccine target, as well as watch for mutations throughout the parasite's entire genome.
"This sort of monitoring also should go on once a new vaccine goes into widespread use," he was quoted as saying. "It appears that in a world with leaky vaccines, virulent pathogen strains can evolve. Different vaccines or other transmission-blocking measures might be needed to stop the spread of any evolved parasites."
