In 2015, Laverne Cox declared a State of Emergency in the transgender community. Two years later, and much of the ills plaguing trans people, particularly trans women of color, continues.
Transgender folks are more susceptible to violent homicides, police violence, discrimination, poverty and suicide. The first step to solving these problems is education. In order to help our LGBTQ family, we must educate ourselves and use this knowledge to become better allies.

OMG, a bill that doesn't restrict gun rights further. Can we verify this? It can't be true.
Oh good, my granddaughter will have her transgender rights protected from kindergarten on!! Wait, I don't live in CA. I'm sure that OR will follow along as they usually do.
How much lower can we go?
Hey, that's just what America wanted for her 237th birthday.
What this essentially means is that all gender distinction is gone. Any boy can join any girls team, and legally there is no way to stop it. He doesn't even have to dress or "look" like a girl. He just has to say "I identify as a girl", and next thing you know the field hockey team has some dude with hairy legs on it.
Does anyone legislator in California have a functioning brain cell?
The depravity knows no bounds.
So, if I was 16 and back in school, I could join the girls sports team and go into the girls locker room and showers?
Such a deal.
Have to have fresh meat for the perverts.
The mentally ill are definitely running the show in CA.
NO WAY my kids would go to public school.
And when some kid "fakes his transgenderism" to exploit the policies, he'll be charged with what? Insincerity?
What about the rights of NORMAL people???
Let's say I'm a 17 year old high school male.
If I claim I am a lesbian trapped in a man's body does it mean I get to shower with the girls?
It must be stopped.
It won't be long before girls are punished for not wanting to shower with boys.
I don't live in CA, and I am glad of it. And no power on Earth can convince me it would be a good idea to go there.
I live in Florida and I am so glad my sister just graduated high school. Phew!
Well, the dumber than dirt fascist legislators & their policially corrupt California school unions, have pissed down their legs any semblance of normality in a Kalifornia publik skool. I think there will be a heck of lot of testosterone driven male teen-agers to pee & shower with the girls. If there are ANY sane people left in Kalifornicate, PLEASE pull your kids (male or female) from the publik skools, or your kids are toast in terms of any moral or righteous values. And your kids will likely turn out to be perverts & socialist fascists themselves. Save your kids!!!
I'm sure the helpful publik skool administrators will be willing to "coach" other people's children into what they view as a more diverse and tolerant gender selection.
California - guaranteeing that insanity is safe.
Celebrate perversity.
Defund the left. End public school indoctrination now.

Massimiliano Allegri was pleased to see "everyone work hard and sacrifice themselves for the good of the team."
Milan earned a 3-2 victory away to Bari to end a three-match winless streak in all competition, but rested Ronaldinho, Alexandre Pato and Andrea Pirlo.
"The lads did very well today," said the Coach. "We play every three days, so everyone has to work hard and sacrifice themselves for the good of the team in order to win.
"We need everyone to be available for the side and with the belief that we are a strong squad."
They were also missing Thiago Silva, Massimo Oddo, Daniele Bonera and Luca Antonini plus the suspended Kevin Prince Boateng.
"It was important to get back to winning ways and we played well. It's a shame that we conceded those two goals, but we created so many opportunities today.
"I was glad to see everyone ready to work hard."

A physician may give you samples of a particular medication
at the time of your office or clinic visit. Typically, this
may done at the start of a new prescription so the physician
can see if the medication is effective for your condition
and is well tolerated before you purchase a large amount.
This is a reasonable idea, particularly if it saves you from
having medications available that you can no longer use. (Keeping
medications on hand that have been discontinued is definitely
not a safe practice!). The best way to obtain samples is when
you receive a voucher from your physician that is later filled
at your pharmacy. Unfortunately, not all pharmaceutical companies
offer a voucher program for medication samples.
Problems with medication samples begin when they are dispensed
from the office without clear instructions for use. Errors
of all types have occurred when patients are unclear about
the use of sample medications. To be on the safe side, make
sure that when you receive a sample from your practitioner
there is a label attached which clearly indicates:
If you receive an antibiotic sample, you may need to add
water to make a liquid suspension. This should be clearly
described to you on the label. It is very important that
you following the instructions for dilution of the medication
very carefully, as adding the improper amount of water will
result in a concentration of medication that is too high or
too low. If a mix-up in the dilution occurs, your dose
will not be accurate.
Be aware of the expiration date on the package, as samples
may be stored for long periods of time in a doctor's office
before use.
If you are already taking other medications, or use over-the-counter
or herbal products, discuss any possible medication interactions
with your doctor. If a question arises at a later time regarding
potential interactions, contact your pharmacist or physician
for advise. You can check a particular medication by using

After you've roasted a chicken or turkey don't throw away the bones. They can be used to make homemade, low-sodium stocks, which can add flavor to your healthy, home-cooked meals. Submitted by CHEF_MEG
An easy homemade turkey broth perfect for soups and stews.
I like to use a large-size slow cooker for this but a large stock pot or soup kettle can be used instead. Just be sure to watch the water level if using anything other than a slow cooker to be sure that bones remain covered with liquid.
The stock is flavored by whatever stuffing or aromatics have been placed inside the turkey during roasting. If I'm in a hurry and don't want to deal with stuffing, I like to use some aromatics loosely placed inside of a raw turkey that has been rinsed out and patted dry with a clean towel. Coat the inside with Kosher salt, coarsely ground black pepper and ground cinnamon (or use a couple cinnamon sticks); then loosely place some quartered onions, chunks of sweet raw carrots, celery cut into 4 inch pieces, leek, and a red apple or two that has been quartered and cored into both the front breast cavity and the main body cavity of the turkey. Roast however you prefer. I like to preheat my oven to 500 degrees F. and put the turkey in a roasting pan on the lowest rack. Make a tent out of aluminum foil to put over the breast portion only. Roast for 30 minutes at 500 degrees. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue roasting, basting every 30 minutes until meat thermometer registers 161 degrees F. Turn off oven and let turkey sit until temperature reaches 180 degrees F. (Turkey will continue to cook even with oven turned off.) This makes a beautifully browned,moist and tender turkey with lovely pan drippings to use for this stock recipe.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- A funny thing happened when old-school coach Mike Montgomery threw a zone defense at UNLV on Thursday night.
EditorsNote: updates fifth graf with Syracuse's win
Cal advances; UNLV zoned out
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- A funny thing happened when old-school coach Mike Montgomery threw a zone defense at UNLV on Thursday night.
It worked.
Forty minutes later, it had been so successful, Montgomery's 12th-seeded team was moving on in the NCAA Tournament.
California held fifth-seeded UNLV without a field goal for more than 11 1/2 minutes of the second half, breaking from a halftime tie and posting a 64-61 upset victory in the second round of the East Regional at HP Pavilion.
After avenging a 76-75 loss to the Runnin' Rebels in December, the 12th-seeded Bears advance into a third-round matchup Saturday against Syracuse. The fourth-seeded Orange drilled Montana 81-34 Thursday night.
No doubt, the difference in the two meetings with the Runnin' Rebels (25-10) was on the defensive end of the floor.
"I think the zone bothered them," Montgomery said after the Bears limited UNLV to 32.2 percent shooting from the field and 6 of 20 from behind the 3-point arc. "I don't think people probably expect us to do that necessarily, but there are times when it can work for you."
Playing before a partisan crowd about 40 miles south of campus and riding the momentum created by Pac-12 Conference rival Oregon's upset win over Oklahoma State while it was dressing, Cal (21-11) held UNLV standout Anthony Bennett to 15 points on 5-of-15 shooting from the field. The Mountain West Conference Freshman of the Year had torched the Bears for 25 points in the previous meeting.
"They isolate really good athletes (against a man-to-man defense). That's where Bennett hurt us so much last time," Montgomery noted. "You've always got help in a zone. It changes the mentality some. I just don't think they probably liked it."
Pac-12 Player of the Year Allen Crabbe led the Bears (21-11) with 19 points and sidekick Justin Cobbs added 13, making all three of his 3-point attempts. But it was the unexpected contributions of big men Robert Thurman (6 of 6 from the field, 12 points) and Richard Solomon (5 of 8, 11 points) that made the difference both offensively and defensively for Cal.
When Thurman wasn't manning the middle of the Cal zone against the rugged Bennett, he was dunking over the UNLV defense six times.
"For most guys that are (6 feet 8), it's not very hard to dunk," said Thurman, a senior whose college career will live for at least one more game. "I just got really lucky because Justin and Allen really penetrated well. I was wide open underneath the rim and did what most big guys are supposed to do."
After the teams had played to a 28-all standstill in the first half, Cal surged into a lead it never relinquished four minutes into the second half, using an 8-0 run to open the biggest margin of the game to that point at 45-37. Crabbe had two of the Bears' four hoops in the run, including a layup with 14:10 remaining that made it an eight-point game.
Meanwhile, the Runnin' Rebels were 2:20 into a stretch that would turn into a full 11:32 without a field goal, yet they somehow managed to stay within 52-44 before Mike Moser ended the drought with a tip-in with 5:00 to go.
Thurman had Cal's only two baskets during that stretch, then added a third to re-establish an eight-point lead at 54-46 with 4:36 to go.
The closest the Runnin' Rebels could get after that was two on two occasions in the final 14 seconds. Cal iced the win from the free-throw line, making it the third team from the much maligned Pac-12 to win its opening game.
"I don't think anybody in our league came in with a chip on our shoulder," Montgomery said of a trio that included Arizona, which blitzed Belmont in Salt Lake City. "I think Oregon thought they were supposed to win. I think we thought we were supposed to win. That's the way we approach these games.
"It was a good conference this year."
Down six and gasping for air, UNLV appeared to catch a break when Bryce Dejean-Jones was ruled to have been the victim of a Flagrant-1 foul on Cobbs, resulting in two free throws and possession with 1:40 to go.
But befitting the Runnin' Rebels' night, Dejean-Jones made only one of two free throws and Bennett misfired under pressure from 8 feet, effectively ending his team's hopes.
"I wouldn't say their zone bothered us. Our shots weren't falling," Bennett insisted. "I'm mad. Disappointed. Just really mad."
Dejean-Jones tied Bennett for UNLV scoring honors with 15 points. Katin Reinhardt added 11 points for UNLV, which shot just 32.2 percent from the field.

Modular applications overview
About modules
Modules are SWF files that can be loaded and unloaded by an application. They cannot be run independently of an application, but any number of applications can share the modules.
Modules let you split your application into several pieces, or modules. The main application, or shell, can dynamically load other modules that it requires, when it needs them. It does not have to load all modules when it starts, nor does it have to load any modules if the user does not interact with them. When the application no longer needs a module, it can unload the module to free up memory and resources.
Modular applications have the following benefits:
Modules and sub applications are similar in many ways. Before deciding on an architecture for your applications, see the comparison of these two approaches in Comparing loaded applications to modules.
Benefits of modules
A module is a special type of dynamically loadable SWF file that contains an IFlexModuleFactory class factory. This allows an application to load code at run time and create class instances without requiring that the class implementations be linked into the main application.
Modules are similar to Runtime Shared Libraries (RSLs) in that they separate code from an application into separately loaded SWF files. Modules are much more flexible than RSLs because modules can be loaded and unloaded at run time and compiled without the application.
Two common scenarios in which using modules is beneficial are a large application with different user paths and a portal application.
An example of the first common scenario is an enormous insurance application that includes thousands of screens, for life insurance, car insurance, health insurance, dental insurance, travel insurance, and veterinary pet insurance.
By using a traditional approach to Rich Internet Application (RIA) design, you might build a monolithic application with a hierarchical tree of MXML classes. Memory use and start-up time for the application would be significant, and the SWF file size would grow with each new set of functionality.
When using this application, however, any user accesses only a subset of the screens. By refactoring the screens into small groups of modules that are loaded on demand, you can improve the perceived performance of the main application and reduce the memory use. Also, when the application is separated into modules, developers' productivity may increase due to better encapsulation of design. When rebuilding the application, the developers also have to recompile only the single module instead of the entire application.
An example of the second common scenario is a system with a main portal application, written in ActionScript 3.0, that provides services for numerous portlets. Portlets are configured based on data that is downloaded on a per-user basis. By using the traditional approach, you might build an application that compiles in all known portlets. This is inefficient, both for deployment and development.
By using modules, you can establish an interface that contains portal services, and a generic portlet interface. You can use XML data to determine which modules to load for a given session. When the module is loaded, you obtain a handle to a class factory inside the module, and from that you create an instance of a class that implements the portlet interface. In this scenario, full recompilation is necessary only if the interfaces change.
Module API details
Modules implement a class factory with a standard interface. The product of that class factory implements an interface known to the shell, or the shell implements an interface known to the modules.
By using shared interface definitions, these shared interfaces reduce hard dependencies between the shell and the module. This provides type-safe communication and enforces an abstraction layer without adding significantly to the SWF file size.
The following image shows the relationship between the shell and the module's interfaces:
The ModuleManager manages the set of loaded modules, which are treated as a map of Singletons that are indexed by the module URL. Loading a module triggers a series of events that let clients monitor the status of the module. Modules are only ever loaded once, but subsequent reloads also dispatch events so that client code can be simplified and rely on using the READY event to know that the module's class factory is available for use.
The ModuleLoader class is a thin layer on top of the ModuleManager API that is intended to act similarly to the mx.controls.SWFLoader class for modules that only define a single visual UIComponent. The ModuleLoader class is the easiest class to use when implementing a module-based architecture, but the ModuleManager provides greater control over the modules.
Module domains
By default, a module is loaded into a child domain of the current application domain. You can specify a different application domain by using the applicationDomain property of the ModuleLoader class.
Because a module is loaded into a child domain, it owns class definitions that are not in the main application's domain. For example, the first module to load the PopUpManager class becomes the owner of the PopUpManager class for the entire application because it registers the manager with the SingletonManager. If another module later tries to use the PopUpManager, Adobe ® Flash® Player throws an exception.
The solution is to ensure that managers such as PopUpManager and DragManager and any other shared services are defined by the main application (or loaded late into the shell's application domain). When you promote one of those classes to the shell, the class can then be used by all modules. Typically, this is done by adding the following to a script block:
import mx.managers.PopUpManager; import mx.managers.DragManager; private var popUpManager:PopUpManager; private var dragManager:DragManager;
This technique also applies to components. The module that first uses the component owns that component's class definition in its domain. As a result, if another module tries to use a component that has already been used by another module, its definition will not match the existing definition. To avoid a mismatch of component definitions, create an instance of the component in the main application. The result is that the definition of the component is owned by the main application and can be used by modules in any child domain.
By default, modules do not share the main application's StyleManager, however. They have their own instances of the IStyleManager2 class. As a result, modules can define their own styles. For example, style properties set on a Button control in one module are not applied to the Button control in another module or to the main application.
Because a module must be in the same security domain as the application (SWF) that loads it, when you're using modules in an AIR application any module SWF must be located in the same directory as the main application SWF or one of its subdirectories, which ensures that like the main application SWF, the module SWF is in the AIR application security sandbox. One way to verify this is to ensure that a relative URL for the module's location doesn't require "../" ("up one level") notation to navigate outside the application directory or one of its subdirectories.
For more information about application domains, see Developing and loading sub-applications.
Module applications
To create a modular application, you create separate classes for each module, and an application that loads the modules. Adobe® Flash® Builder™ provides some mechanisms for making module use easier.
Create a modular application
Using styles with modules
When you set styles on modules, the style properties are set on the local StyleManager. Each module has its own instance of the IStyleManager2 class. This means that each module can load its own set of styles, and its styles do not necessarily affect the styles of other modules.
After an application finishes loading a module, the module's styles are merged with the styles of the application. The module's StyleManager walks the chain of parent modules and applications, up to the top-level StyleManager, and merges its styles with those set on the StyleManagers above it.
If during a style merge, a module encounters a style that it already sets on itself, the style is ignored. If the module encounters a style not set on itself, the style is added to the merged style definition. The styles set on the StyleManager that is closest to the module wins.
The following example loads two modules. The main application sets the color and cornerRadius style properties on the Button control type selector. The modules each set the color property on the Button control type selector. The merged styles result in the Buttons having a corner radius of 10, with colors set by each module. This shows how style merges work.
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!-- modules/StyleModLoaderApp.mxml --> <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"> <s:layout> <s:VerticalLayout/> </s:layout> <fx:Style> @namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"; s|Button { color:blue; cornerRadius:10; } </fx:Style> <s:VGroup> <s:Label id="l1" text="Module 1"/> <mx:ModuleLoader id="ml1" url="mxmlmodules/StyleMod1.swf"/> </s:VGroup> <s:VGroup> <s:Label id="l2" text="Module 2"/> <mx:ModuleLoader id="ml2" url="mxmlmodules/StyleMod2.swf"/> </s:VGroup> <s:Button id="myButton" label="Do Nothing"/> </s:Application>
Module 1:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!-- modules/mxmlmodules/StyleMod1.mxml --> <mx:Module xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"> <fx:Style> @namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"; s|Button { color:red; } </fx:Style> <s:Button label="StyleMod1"/> </mx:Module>
Module 2:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!-- modules/mxmlmodules/StyleMod2.mxml --> <mx:Module xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"> <fx:Style> @namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"; s|Button { color:green; } </fx:Style> <s:Button label="StyleMod2"/> </mx:Module>
To prevent style merges, set the isolate-styles compiler argument to false. By doing this, you might trigger type coercion errors when loading skins. Modules also might not be properly garbage collected when they are unloaded. This is because the main application's StyleManager will maintain references to the module even after is is unloaded. When you set isolate-styes to false, if more than one module loads a style, the first one loaded wins. In this case, styles set on modules can be overridden by those set on other modules.
In the previous example, if you set the isolate-styles compiler argument to false, the color of the Button controls' labels in both modules would be red, because that is definition that is first loaded.
The getStyleDeclarations() method returns only the local style definitions. To get the merged style definitions, you can use the getMergedStyleDeclaration() method. All methods that modify style definitions affect only the local style definitions and not the merged style definitions.
Style properties are merged when the module is loaded. This means that style properties set on the main application and all child applications and modules are set on the module if the module does not override that style. Merged styles are set on a per-property basis, starting with the closest StyleManager and working upwards to the top-level StyleManager.
Even when using merged styles, child modules still inherit their parent module or application's inheritable style properties when those settings are applied at runtime. Their StyleManager is not changed, but the values of the properties are inherited and applied where applicable. If you set a property at run time on the main application, the modules inherit that style immediately, as the following example shows:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!-- modules/StyleModLoaderApp2.mxml --> <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"> <s:layout> <s:VerticalLayout/> </s:layout> <fx:Script> /* When you set this style in the main application, the modules immediately inherit the value. */ private function changeStyle():void { styleManager.getStyleDeclaration("spark.components.Button").setStyle("fontSize", 15); } </fx:Script> <fx:Style> @namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"; s|Button { color:blue; cornerRadius:10; } </fx:Style> <s:VGroup> <s:Label id="l1" text="Module 1"/> <mx:ModuleLoader id="ml1" url="mxmlmodules/StyleMod1.swf"/> </s:VGroup> <s:VGroup> <s:Label id="l2" text="Module 2"/> <mx:ModuleLoader id="ml2" url="mxmlmodules/StyleMod2.swf"/> </s:VGroup> <s:Button label="Change Styles" click="changeStyle()"/> </s:Application>

Flu Vaccine Requirement For Health Workers Is Lifted
By ANEMONA HARTOCOLLIS and SEWELL CHAN
Published: October 23, 2009
The Paterson administration backed away on Thursday evening from a health regulation that would have compelled hundreds of thousands of health care workers and hospital volunteers to be vaccinated for seasonal and swine flu.
Claudia Hutton, a spokeswoman for the State Health Department, said in an interview Thursday night that the regulation had been suspended because of a shortage of H1N1 vaccine. She said that the state wanted to concentrate its vaccination efforts on pregnant women and children.
''Since the vaccine is so scarce right now and since the virus has proved especially difficult for pregnant women and young people -- there have been deaths -- we felt that the best use of the scarce amount of vaccine right now is for those populations,'' Ms. Hutton said.
In August, the state health commissioner, Dr. Richard F. Daines, issued an order for health care workers to be vaccinated by Nov. 30, and hospitals warned that those who refused could be disciplined or fired.
But last week, a judge in Albany halted enforcement of the rule in response to a lawsuit filed by three nurses who claimed that the requirement needed legislative approval and that the commissioner had overstepped his authority.
Ms. Hutton said that Dr. Daines's change of policy -- which was announced late Thursday in a statement from the office of Gov. David A. Paterson -- was not influenced by the litigation.
New York found itself isolated in its insistence on mandatory vaccinations. No other state adopted a similar regulation, and neither the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention nor the World Health Organization were recommending mandatory H1N1 vaccinations.
Some public health experts had applauded the rule. But referring to mandatory vaccination, Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, director of the federal centers, said last summer that ''this is just not the right flu season to take this on,'' because of the logistical difficulties of distributing both seasonal and swine flu vaccines.
Those logistical concerns turned out to be warranted. The governor pointed to a statement by the centers that said that only about 23 percent of the anticipated vaccine supply would be available by month's end.
So far this week, the federal agency has allowed the state to order 146,300 doses of vaccine, while physicians have asked for more than 1.48 million doses, Ms. Hutton said.
''They don't expect things to get markedly better until well into November, perhaps December,'' Ms. Hutton said. ''Even while the mandate was in effect, we were telling our hospital workers that if you have a choice of vaccinating patients or workers, please vaccinate patients.''
Terence L. Kindlon, a lawyer for the three nurses, said on Thursday evening, ''This is a good result, because the decision whether or not to be vaccinated is one that should be made by the individual.''

Every person who has a computer needs a backup solution that's reliable and in place. Unexpected situations can arise, which may cause all of your data to be removed. People that experience something like a hard drive crashing on them can suffer great consequences. It's actually very simple to protect your data, and recover it – you just have to know what to do. Should you be looking for a backup solution in 2012, the following three suggestions can help you narrow down one that can help you.
One of the best backup applications today is the Acronis True Image backup. Many backup software programs will not let you back up everything in your computer but that's not the case with Acronis. If you don't want to do a complete backup, then simply choose the files you want and do specific backup operations. On the first use of the program however, it will create a complete backup of your files. This is so that you have an original to compare file specific backups in the future.
Many of the backup programs you'll see are created so that users with varying degrees of knowledge and computer savvy will be able to use them. In NovaBACKUP, users have a choice between two basic operating modes. Depending on your level of comfort, you can select to use the Simple View mode or Advanced View mode. If you have used backup software before, then you'll want to use the Advanced View mode. If you don't have any idea about what you're using, you should choose Simple View. The Simple View mode is basically point-and-click, making the software easy to use.
If there's one feature of the program that may cause some trouble or confusion among users is the copy mode. Copying data using the program comes in several modes. The icons and comments could use some improvement so they are much clearer and easier to understand, especially for novice users.
There's Backblaze for those looking for an online backup solution. For a monthly fee of $5, you will be able to backup your data online. That's truly low enough for any computer user to afford. What's more, there's no limit to how big the data you're backing up is. The default user interface is very simple to use and allows for adjustment depending on your preferences. All types of users can use Backblaze. This online backup service is ideal for business and non-business users, and it costs just $50 per year for businesses.
Before purchasing a backup solution, it would do you good to identify your specific criteria and needs. The backup needs of a power user will be different from the needs of a casual computer user. In addition, decide if you're okay with having your data backed up in an online data center. If you've got important data you want protected, an online backup service will keep it safe in a server so you don't have it at home. So consider this as you shop.

Great post! Made me think of
Great post! Made me think of an interesting paper by IFPRI on a way to measure the regulatory gaps between exporting and importing countries when a particular SPS standard is applied named "Bridge to Cross" (BTC). The researchers modeled this method to SPS regulation relating to aflatoxin contamination in corn, and it seems that the effect of BTC is larger the smaller the exporter is, and thus poorer countries could be more affected by this regulatory gap as the reduction of BTC costs become prohibitive. It made me wonder about these types of initiatives on smaller producers (domestic and foreign) in the Chinese supply chain. the article is here: http://www.ifpri.org/publication/sanitary-and-phytosanitary-standards-bridge-cross

OpenLDAP and clients
I'm looking to get a discussion going on Open LDAP that will clear up my personal misconceptions, misunderstands, and thoughts on how it needs to be implemented.
I'm comfortable with using MS Windows Active Directory to connect Windows client workstations. I'm also set up Samba to do same. No Biggie. I use a Panther (Apple, Mac) which is an implementation of OpenDirectory Server, to manage the roaming profiles of both Mac and Windows workstation machines.
What the three servers do (MacLinWIn ) can do is support roaming profiles for workstations, but only Mac and Windows.
What I want to know is, if there is a way to support a Linux client with roaming profiles?
I am not looking for a thin client. If I wanted that I would have them (elementary school children, by the way) launch VNC, and thus their desktop.) This is not an implementation that I am looking for.

Loved everything about the venue. Very professional. We had our ceremony and reception here and thought both turned out beautifully. Scenery was amazing. The ceremony was on the patio overlooking the lake and fountain. The flowers were in bloom and it was amazing. Our cocktail hour was awesome too. The food was to die for. Everyone loved the array of foods and the ice luge with our monogram on the side was a great touch. Talamore also provided a flatscreen TV so we could play a video montage of …
Talamore was the most perfect, beautiful place to have our ceremony and reception. Everyone there is so helpful and knows what they are doing. I could not have been happier. The guests all loved it as well.
We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Talamore. It is absolutely beautiful and unique…it does not look like the standard site. We worked with Mark from start to finish and he was great….responsive, accommodating and professional. Our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Our photos are gorgeous with all the beautiful backdrops at Talamore, inside and out. There are so many different ways to make the place yours. The food was excellent and the service was amazing…
I wanted to let you know that the engagement party was fabulous, beyond expectations…the room looked gorgeous and arranged beautifully, the food was great, the staff was wonderful. You did an excellent job.
Perfect venue all around! Beautiful grounds, complete with a bridge with a lake that is home to a family of swans! Inside, the venue is just as gorgeous! Cocktail rooms completely in glass windows overlooking the beautiful golf course and gazebo, a Monet waterfall spanning the entire two stories of the reception room, and the ability to show your slide show on 4 giant screens for all of your guests to enjoy! Our wedding was everything I could hope for (even though it was during a hurricane!)…

|CES 2011 Press Conference Wrapup
|Home Theater Feature Articles Best Of & Top 100 Lists
|Written by AVRev.com
|Wednesday, 05 January 2011
It all started with LG, who had a very mixed event. There were some cool announcements, but flops to go with each of them. After the "we had a great 2010" part of the speech was over – that's the way these things tend to begin – we got to hear a bit more about the massive 12 billion dollar investment that LG made in their research and development team. It sounds like we can expect some big things in the near future. LG had a strong focus on "smart" products. It's a theme that they shared in common with Samsung. Smart TVs, smart phones and even smart washers and dryers – LG's got it all. And yes, you did read that right. LG has washers that let you customize a wash cycle, dryers that can automatically optimize their own programming and even ovens that can text you to let you know they're preheated.
Getting out of the kitchen and back into the family room, LG announced that rather than jump into the Google TV waters, they'll be launching a new smart TV platform of their own. The interface looks like a mix between a webpage and a cable box menu, with a little bit of Apple simplicity thrown in for good measure. To operate it, LG is introducing a motion controller that allows those that prefer a simpler interface to get the same experience as tech-savvy folks. 3D was a big part of LG's event, but they practically shunned active shutter glasses technology in favor of their cinema style passive 3D TV. LG says it's the best way to watch 3D movies but we'll have to wait until we go eyes-on to make a judgment.
Sharp strayed away from talking about 3D too much and focused on their Aquos Quattron technology instead. They are rolling out five series of 70-inch televisions with the high end being a 120 Hz LED that includes net connected apps such as Facebook, Netflix, Vudu and Pandora. These were extremely large in person and absolutely gorgeous. They are also release six new series of smaller sizes with higher Hz ratings as well as 3D capable. Sharp is also releasing the Galapagos tablet in the States after success with the tablet in Japan.
Samsung was on the other side of the spectrum with their 3D offerings, boasting new and improved active shutter sets. They're especially focusing on large screens 55 inches and up. We know Samsung loves slim devices and this year's offerings are no different. When the spokesman on stage unveiled the new 7000 and 8000 line of TVs, everything seemed normal. Then he took off the fake bezel they had placed on the sets, revealing just 0.2 inches of bezel.
It would be hard to overstate just how good these sets look, and the picture quality seems to match. Even from the back of a mid-sized conference room they outshined the rest of the displays on stage. Of course, we'll still want to get up close for a better look. Plasmas didn't get ultra-thin bezels like the LCDs, but they did get a size boost. Thanks to some new tech, Samsung's plasmas all got an inch boost in screen size while retaining the same total size. They call it "Plasma Plus One."
Samsung introduced some new features for their connected TVs, including one that will allow you to search across all of your content – including online sources – for the show or movie you want to watch. They also showed off some apps, which completely failed to impress. The winner of the big Samsung App competition is essentially a game of Pictionary that requires a smart phone as a drawing tablet. Runners up included a social TV viewing app and daily fitness lessons. If Samsung really wants people to get on board with TV apps, they'll have to do better than that.
Both Samsung and LG had good showings, but Panasonic didn't really do anything to impress. The company seems to be doing more of the same, and what new initiatives were shown just didn't seem great. Let's start with the good. Panasonic has a new plant that's going to be pumping out bigger TVs, all of which are getting kicked up a bit in size. What would have been a 55 inch set in 2010 will be a 58 inch set in 2011. They'll also be making some improvements to the already famous performance of their plasmas. Higher-end models will boast THX certification and will introduce a filter to keep ambient light from your room from spoiling the rich blacks of your TV.
The bad is that Panasonic focused a fairly long segment on their relationship with Gameloft, who specializes in cell phone games. The company will be turning to the TV and making games specifically for connected Panasonic TVs. They showed off 'Asphalt 5,' an apparent port of an iPhone racing game that looked decent at best. It wouldn't be a big deal if it were just a throwaway segment, but the amount of time spend on it – five or ten minutes of a 45 minute conference about all of Panasonics 2011 products – makes it seem like a pretty strong focus for the company.
There's one thing that's clear from the press conference. Sony loves 3D. They're banking on it in every aspect of their business and it's a move that just might pay off. Sony has a 3D channel called 3D Net launching in the next few month that you'll be able to watch on any of the new 3D capable TVs that Sony's bringing to the table. High-end models get a special bonus in Corning Gorilla Glass, which should help prevent injuries from Wii and Move controllers.
It doesn't stop with TVs. Sony is introducing a 3D Handicam with a glasses-free display for recording and playback, new 3D digital cameras and most interesting of all – a 3D Bloggie. Confused? It's alright, we didn't remember what the Bloggie was either. The Bloggie is a small camcorder much like the Flip and made for the same casual audience. The 3D capable Bloggie will introduce plenty of people to 3D recording at the surprisingly low price of $220. It won't get you 1080p in 3D, but it'll do 720 and it comes equipped with a glasses-free 3D display.
Of course, Sony hasn't forgotten those that aren't necessarily into the whole 3D thing. They introduced the new flagship KDL-55HX929 LCD television and it looked incredibly impressive. It's not equipped with Google TV, but boasts Qriocity connectivity. They also brought a pair of prototypes that seem very interesting indeed. The first is a portable 3D Blu-ray player that lets you watch 3D without the need for glasses. Pretty slick, but the Headman Personal 3D viewer seems so much cooler, and the design makes you look a bit like an old-school Cylon.
That wraps it up for the CES press conferences. We will be roaming the show floor tomorrow as well as the suites up in the Venetian for all you audiophiles. Keep checking back throughout the weekend for more CES coverage from us here at AVRev. You can also see real-time updates (including pictures) of our coverage on Twitter.

|Reproductions Information
|The dolls featured in my Kestner Korner are reproductions of antique
dolls made by the German manufacturer J. D. Kestner. They were part of
Kestner's "Wunderkind" series (ca. 1909), which came in a boxed set with one
complete doll and three exchangeable character heads. The original Kestners
were identified by a number, but a later mold manufacturer gave them the name
used to identify the ones you see in my collection. There are four dolls with
two being made into both a boy and girl doll making a total of six dolls in the
All of my antique reproductions are hand painted and costumed by myself. I try to bring back the nostalgic look of days gone by. I use high quality materials (such as glass eyes, mohair wigs, silk dresses, leather shoes) and adorable accessory toys for my repro creations. Each antique repro comes with a numbered certificate of authenticity. The certificate attests to the repro being painted and assembled by Annette Herrmann and the doll's unique position in this open numbered edition.

"At first I thought there wouldn't be enough cinnamon/sugar mixture to coat the popcorn, but it turns out so good the way it is; I think it would be over-kill if there was more seasoning."
"This popcorn is yummy (& addicting!)! I took it to my 9 yo daughter's softball game & it was a hit with the kids & parents alike. Several of the mother's asked how it was made. Good stuff!"
"My Husband and I enjoyed this recipe. I added a splash of Vanilla to the mixture."
"Wasn't expecting much because it's so simple, but we couldn't stop eating it! Perfect!"
"Just the right amount of sweetness and so easy! Will definitely be making that again. Thank you for the recipe!"
"So easy to make and was so good. Make some and go to the movies. Will be making it again."
"wow i loved this popcorn. The flavors are so good and it was very easy to make. It has crunchy spots and chewy spots. I could taste little salty spots and sweet spots and the cinnamon adds a very good kick. wow i cant wait to make this again. and i did my own calorie count and my count came out as half that per cup"
"How do I keep air popped popcorn from bing tough?"

Anyway, yeah, it's a great story but most UC people are just too obsessed with First and Zeta Gundam to accept it...

While ratings gets the usual blame, it doesn' seem to hold up.
For the first 26 episodes it ran on Friday's at 5 pm and averaged a 3.5. Which puts X only .4 of a point behind Victory and ahead of Turn A's 3.0. It doesn't look like that is enough to lead to it being moved in my eyes, but it could for execs expecting Wing's numbers.

Anyway, it's probably TV Asahi that pulled the plugs on the show rather than Bandai... And the fact that they never ever aired another Gundam again might support that.
But yeah, ∀ is, commercial-wise, the all time low for Gundam, and judging from what the creators and producers of Seed said, that fact was very prominent in its production...

Yeah, G Gundam is one of my favorite Gundams, right up there with Char's Counterattack and Stardust Memory... I thought V Gundam was okay but the parts changing thing in air didnt really work for me, the first gundam was better because it didnt have to be done as much, pretty much all of the other gundams are good except for F91 which i didnt like, and i was ambivalent about Wing and Seed. The only gundam that i felt was bad isnt an anime, and yes its the one and only Gundam G Saviour, the live action gundam, i cant believe i bought that, but oh well; like any other fanatic i buy everything that says gundam on it...

G-Saviour doesn't exactly say "Gundam" on it... In fact Gundam wasn't mentioned at all (then again that's what I heard, never bothered watching it )
And yeah, I'm not too big on the combining thing in ZZ and Victory either... It just looked too cumbersome and functioned too slowly, but I guess they actually made something out of it in Victory though considering how Usso keeps using that to his advantage... By contrast it seems that it was more detrimental than beneficial for the ZZ.
Then again, I was never big on the transformable suits from Zeta and beyond either... It was an obvious attempt to profit from the transformable suits craze that Macross started (and I guess the obvious Zoids ripoffs in Seed are no different)... Plus there seem to be more ugly transformable suits than good looking ones in Gundam.

The Digiflavor Pharaoh Dripper Tank by Rip Trippers presents one of the most innovative and cutting-edge rebuildable platform to date, featuring a spring-loaded two-post design with clamp-style mechanism for unprecedented building configurations, slip-plate juice flow control, and precision click-clock airflow control. The Pharaoh Dripper Tank is a collaborative effort between Digiflavor and the influential Rip Tripper, establishing a perfectly balanced system that excelled in user-friendly functionality and performance effectiveness. The marquee achievement resides in the modernized two-post design, integrating a spring-loaded component to the clamp-secured quad terminals. Coil leads are inserted within the wide-space between the large surface area of the terminal base and the clamp itself, secured via a centrally positioned Phillips-screws for a tremendous range of coil structure configurations. Furthermore, contacts are cleanly attached within the terminal in an efficient manner, resulting in a superior and consistent connection. Airflow of the Pharaoh Dripper Tank is electrically cut, deploying three rectangular airholes in a horizontal arrangement and controlled by a precision click-clock AFC ring, maximizing airflow effectiveness in all spectrums between fully open and closed. It feeds into three internal airflow tubes, resulting in a direct-to-coil chamber effect with rapid and efficient air channels for outstanding vapor production. The wicking system is rotatable from the base, via a dynamic slip-plate that controls two juice ports to create a simple and effective wicking method. Additionally, two drip tips are included with the Pharaoh RDTA, including the 10mm Delrin straight bore, as well as an anti-spitback mesh Delrin widebore drip tip. Brilliantly constructed by Digiflavor with ground-breaking design inspiration from one of the most illustrious figure in our industry, the Pharaoh Dripper Tank by Rip Tripper Project makes for a perfect rebuildable platform that epitomizes every builder's dream.

At last a good RDA where somebody has actually thought about the design.
Your e-liquid won't pour out the airflow because the juice well is completely separate from the airflow.
Its a little fiddly to build on, but once you have it figured out its not too bad.
The draw is very interesting, quite leisurely so you can pull as hard or as soft as you want.
Another reviewer said you can get 20-25 rips out of the Pharoah, but I reckon you can get a bit more - maybe 30-40 as the juice well is nice and big, but this could just be my build (dual SS 28 awg coils at 0.43 ohms).
Goes without saying that the flavour is good (8 out of 10), and the clouds are pretty big (9 out of 10).
One to add to the collection.

I'm so excited that just received my Pharaoh Dripper Tank,absolutely love the full on flavor,off this tank dripper !! I own many tanks and dripperss. Nothing compares to the flavor . I have dual SS Claptons 0.22 in my vaporshark DNA 133 . and oh my goodness !! Been vaping over 3 years and never had such a wonderful vape . easy to build on and the tank reservoir gets me around 20 25 rips . no pun . thank you Rip this is amazing,my hobby my passion my life !! Most of all thank you ECIGWAREHOUSE post first batch Pharaoh tank to me.
Posted by STEPHEN on 14th Sep 2016
Nice to sit back and get the full on flavor of a dripper, without having to drip every 5 minutes. The 2ml drip deck below aids in keeping your wick nice and saturated. Favorite drippers right now are the Recoil and the Pharaoh.

Denton philanthropist Paul Voertman, above, is planning to donate an estimated $8 million through a bequest in his will to support student scholarships and other programs.
The Ardoin-Voertman Endowment Funds will be divided among the College of Music, the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Visual Arts and Design with each getting one-third.
"I hope that this gift provides students the help they need in an increasingly expensive college environment," Voertman said. "To help ease the burden of the cost of attending college, this gift will fund student scholarships and other programs that will ultimately benefit students."
President V. Lane Rawlins, left said Voertman's gift to UNT is powerful for its direct impact on students and its overall support for the university.
"We've made a promise to students to provide the best education and opportunities to grow," Rawlins said. "And we've rededicated ourselves to becoming one of the best universities in Texas so that our students can further excel and compete. Mr. Voertman's bequest will help us fulfill our promise to our students and give us momentum in our goal to become the best."
Each college will use at least 40 percent of the funds to provide student scholarships.
Of its allocated donation, the College of Visual Arts and Design will designate:
The College of Music will set aside:
The College of Arts and Sciences will use:
Provost Warren Burggren, right, said Voertman's commitment is contributing to UNT's legacy as a place of excellence for the arts and music, and it's an endorsement of the progress that UNT is making as it seeks to become a major public research university.
"Mr. Voertman's pledge will have very wide-ranging effects, touching both the arts and the sciences, and supporting both student learning and faculty scholarship," Burggren said. "With one significant gift, he will allow us to advance in so many ways and impact so many people."
Voertman, a longtime benefactor to UNT, created the annual Voertman art competition in 1960 to give students an opportunity to have their work reviewed by an art professional.
He supported the commission, building and installation of the Richard Ardoin-Paul Voertman Concert Organ in the Murchison Performing Arts Center with the $1.5 million Voertman-Ardoin Memorial Fund. The organ was inaugurated in 2008. Through the years, he has consistently provided various gifts to continue to support students at UNT. In 2009, Voertman earned the Outstanding Alumnus Service Award from UNT, and in 2010, the university named the newly renovated Voertman Concert Hall in the Music Building in his honor.
Voertman began his studies at UNT at age 5 in the North Texas State Teachers College Demonstration School and continued at UNT through his sophomore year in 1947. He transferred to the University of Texas, where he graduated in 1949.
After the death of his father, he took over management of the Voertman store, 1314 W. Hickory, which he operated for 38 years. Left, a shopper at Voertman's, shown in the 1985 Yucca yearbook ad, from the UNT Libraries' Portal to Texas History.
Rawlins added that it's a special honor for UNT to have scholarships, programs and facilities in Voertman's name because he is such an important figure in UNT's history and in Denton's history.

Three little ways to welcome men at church
Church for Men will be producing a video documentary featuring ten congregations that do an outstanding job attracting, retaining, motivating and transforming men.
WE NEED YOUR HELP. If you know of a church that's doing great things with men, please send us an e-mail message with the church's name and any contact info you may have.
- We're looking for churches of all sizes, denominations and traditions.
- We will consider churches anywhere in the world. Have camera, will travel.
- We're seeking churches that do a good job reaching men through their regular programming – not necessarily through a men's ministry program.
- We're looking for pastors who "get" men and who place a priority on their growth.
- Churches that have experienced growth as a result of an intentional focus on men are particularly prized.
PARACHURCH ORGANIZATIONS. We are also planning to feature a couple of parachurch organizations that are doing outstanding work with men.
- We are interested in groups that do ongoing direct discipleship work with men, rather than event-driven organizations.
- An ideal organization would be one with a track record of helping men change their lives (and men who will say so on camera).
Please share this message with everyone you know. Good churches for men are hard to find, but we know they're out there.

AUCKLAND, New Zealand, Jan. 10 (UPI) -- No. 1-seeded David Ferrer dropped just three games Thursday in rolling into the semifinals of the Heineken Open tennis tournament in New Zealand.
Ferrer, the event's two-time defending champion, dispatched Lukas Lacko 6-2, 6-1 in 54 minutes. Ferrer lost only 12 points on serve and saved the only break-point chance Lacko had. He also finished off four breaks in seven receiving games.
Gael Monfils earned a semifinals shot at Ferrer with a 3-6, 7-5, 6-3 win over third-seeded Tommy Haas. The match took more than twice as long as Ferrer's and each player won 96 points.
But Monfils lost serve only twice -- despite Haas having 17 break points -- and saved all seven break points in the third set. He had 19 aces but also eight double faults.
Second-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber recorded the only break of the match in a 7-6 (8-6), 6-4 win over Xavier Malisse and No. 4-seeded Sam Querrey came away a 6-4, 7-6 (7-5) winner over Jesse Levine in Thursday's other quarterfinals.
Monfils, who has seen his rankings slip to No. 99 18 months after reaching No. 7 in the rankings, owns a 3-0 record versus Ferrer. Querrey is 2-1 versus Kohlschreiber.
