Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust. Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what's next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young. When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you've grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there's hope you may die young at 80.
[参考译文] 青春不是年华,而是心境; 青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝,而是深沉的意志、宏伟的想象、炽热的感情;青春是生命的深泉在涌流。 青春气贯长虹,勇锐盖过怯弱,进去压倒苟安,如此锐气, 二十后生有之,六旬男子则更多见。 年年有加,并非垂老;理想丢弃,方堕暮年。 岁月悠悠,衰微只及肌肤;热忱抛却,颓唐必至灵魂。 烦忧、惶恐、丧失自信,定使心灵扭曲,意气如灰。 无论年届花甲,抑或二八芳龄,心中皆有生命之欢乐,奇迹之诱惑,孩童般天真久盛不衰。 人人心中皆有一台天线,只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号,你就青春永驻,风华常存。 一旦天线倒塌,锐气被冰雪覆盖,玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生,几十年方二十,实已垂老矣; 然则只要竖起天线,捕捉乐观的信号,你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉得年轻。

He was invited to play football at the farm where all boys go there, he thought that there will only be boys.. so he went and found alot of girls it was like a pickinck..well all of his friends disappeared so he stayed alone with a girl.

I really feel kinda cheated on..coz he could walk away when she started talkin about sex!!
I dont know what to do, i alwayz think about it.. i really wanna get it out of my head..Shall I forgive him??
RomanceClass.com Advice
My advice is to forgive him and try to get back the trust you had for him. That might not be as hard as it sounds-- he was tempted beyond what most men could resist and still was true to you. And, he was truly remorseful about what he had done.
Yes, he shouldn't have gotten into that situation, but we all make mistakes in our lives. If you still care for him, work at trusting him again.
Best wishes to you,
-- from George

Since the year 2000, Vienna Instruments has sampled every instrument of the symphonic orchestra, and many more, to the utmost detail. For a single instrument, like the solo violin in the Solo Strings I Collection, it took more than one year of ongoing recording sessions in a custom-built studio facility, the Silent Stage, to produce over 40,000 flawless samples – an unprecedented amount of nuanced articulations, not available elsewhere. Today, the Vienna Super Package includes more than two million samples.
The English horn is the alto instrument of the oboe family. Since the Classical era, orchestras have made use of the English horn's melancholy sound to suggest rural and pastoral scenes and to perform mournful airs. It is chiefly an orchestra instrument. This English horn is played by Viennese musician Stephan Natschläger who plays the instrument in the Viennese tradition. As an alternative, we also offer the English Horn in French style, which is also used in the Vienna Special Edition, played in the French school.
The flexibility, authenticity, musicality and sound quality of samples are just a few reasons why Oscar and Emmy winning composers, Grammy winning artists and music producers all over the globe, including hobbyists and music educators, rely on Vienna Instruments. Every collection comes with both the Vienna Instruments player and Vienna Ensemble. Get Vienna Instruments PRO and Vienna Ensemble Pro 5 to add another layer of expression to Vienna Instruments and improve your workflow.

Hi, this is Gina from BuddyTV and I'm talking to one of the stars of NBC's Bionic Woman, Lucy Hale. Hey, good morning Lucy, how are you?
Hi! Good, how are you?
I'm good, thanks. Now I was reading in your bio online that the first time we saw you on TV was on American Juniors, is that right?
That's right!
Did you actually grow up singing and dancing and doing more of a musical theater background?
I actually have never done musical theater. I grew up singing, I took voice lessons and took some acting classes.
And was that experience of being on that show when you were so young, was that a good experience?
Yeah, I mean, I still consider it the best summer of my life so far. It's what forced me, to move out, well not force me but made me want to move out to LA. It was the first time I'd be out to LA and I got to see everything and I convinced my mom to come out for pilot season and do some auditions.
You have gotten to do some TV since American Juniors, but Bionic Woman is by far the most high profile thing you've done. What's it like to be part of something that's so highly anticipated?
It's really exciting. I still really cant believe it, I'm pinching myself. We all think we've got a good show on our hands and I'm working with some great people, great producers, great writers, and Michelle [Ryan] who plays Bionic Woman, is also great as well.
Now they revamped your character, can you talk a little bit about the changes that they made to Becca?
Becca, yeah, they just wanted her to be a little more typical teenager. They just wanted it to be a little lighter. My character, she's kind of witty, she kind of brings humor into some situations.
And your character is an up and coming hacker, right?
Yes, she knows all there is to know about computers.
Are you actually good with computers in life or is that more something your character does?
Ah, I'm alright. I wouldn't say I'm too bad, but definitely not hacker material.
The show is full of action. Will we see you doing any stunts or any action scenes?
I still don't even… I really hope so, because I've never done a stunt before. As of right now, I don't do any, unless they're not telling me anything. Hopefully!
Now, you're also in the upcoming movie, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 right?
Can you talk a little bit about your character from the movie?
Yeah. I play… in the first one, there's four girls and one of the girls is Lena, played by Alexis Bledel, and I play her sister, Effie. Girls might be familiar with her if they read the books, she has a big part in the movie, she does something pretty crazy that changes the outcome.
It seems like suddenly things are really picking up for you.
They are. It's all going really fast. I've been out in LA for three years now, and things are happening and I'm really grateful.
Leading up to Bionic Woman, had you been trying out for lots of different pilots each year?
Oh my gosh, dozens and dozens and dozens. But, this one really stuck out to me, that's why it was such an honor to be in this, the remake of a hit show.
Yeah, I was going to say, I mean, there's got to be people who are partial to the original. What's different about the revamped version?
It's a lot more modern. Basically the only similarities are the name Jamie Sommers, and her bionic powers – she's got the hearing, the seeing, the arm, the leg. But how she obtains these powers is different, because she's not in a parachute accident, that's how she… I haven't seen the original but from what I hear, but that's how she got the powers in the original, but in this one she's in a car accident. And they added some characters, me, which there wasn't a sister originally. And it's a bit different, people who have seen the original will find it a bit different.
What can we look forward to tonight from your character on the premiere?
My character, well, so, Jamie Sommers, her going through the whole Bionic world, and then she comes home to me, which is another problem, because I complain a bit in this episode, I'm a little bit angry. I'm just your average teenager who thinks the world revolves around her, I guess.
Well, everyone at BuddyTV is so excited to watch tonight, and I just wanted to wish you good luck, and we can't wait to see it.
Thank you very much, take care.

I just got my first traffic ticket in years and years. It's been so long that I can't even remember. I do seem to remember a speeding ticket back in the 90's, but I could go to a "traffic school" so it wouldn't end up on my permanent record and make my insurance go up.
But I got pulled over today for not wearing a seat belt. I hate being told that I have to wear a seat belt. I never wear a seat belt. Well, I do in my Mom's car cause she makes me with the excuse of making her insurance go up. But I've never worn one. When I started driving there was no law for it. Then they go and nanny/police-state us. I contend it's my God given right to risk my own neck. It doesn't endanger anyone else on the road. I do put my grandkids in their carseats and I always made my minor children put their seatbelts on because I do believe they can save lives or minimize injury in the case of an accident, especially for those not behind the wheel.
But I shouldn't have to put one on if I don't wanna. I don't believe I should have to wear a helmet on a motorcycle, bicycle, or skateboard either. It's my right to be stupid or careless if I want.
Even the officer said he thinks it's a violation of The Constitution, but he said he has to obey the law and do his job.
But he assured me that it wouldn't make my car insurance go up. I hope not.

What does absorbance mean?
Definitions for absorbanceæbˈsɔr bəns, -ˈzɔr-
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word absorbance.
A logarithmic measure of the amount of light that is absorbed when passing through a substance.
In spectroscopy, the absorbance of a material is a logarithmic ratio of the radiation falling upon a material, to the radiation transmitted through a material. Absorbance measurements are often carried out in analytical chemistry. In physics, the term spectral absorbance is used interchangeably with spectral absorptance or absorptivity. In this case it has a slightly different meaning: the fraction of radiation absorbed at a specific wavelengths.

Mary Cassatt
(Critical Survey of Contemporary Fiction)
MARY CASSATT is the biography of a woman who won lasting fame as an artist while most of her gender were confined to domestic pursuits. Perhaps, the author suggest, Mary Cassatt derived her spirit of independence and the capacity for hard work from her forebears, who came to the New World and made fortunes. When this young woman decided to be an artist, there was no stopping her.
Unfortunately, Mary Cassatt's position in society made it extremely difficult for her to achieve her goals. Drawing lessons were acceptable, as was her attendance at the art academy in Philadelphia after the family had moved there. Cassatt's father balked, however, when she wanted to study abroad, as every serious artist must do. Somehow, she got her way, and from the moment she entered Paris, Mary Cassatt does not seem ever to have looked back.
The biographer describes vividly how Cassatt joined the revolution against the art establishment and indicates how Cassatt's own style developed, initially resembling that of her Impressionist friends and later being modified by classical influences. Mathews emphasizes the fact that however Cassatt's works might change, her dedication to art remained unaltered. Even while she was playing hostess to friends and relatives, entertaining their children, nursing family members, or suffering from illness herself, Cassatt seemed driven to paint. She was not defeated until, in her final years, she lost her sight. MARY CASSATT is a thoroughly researched, well-balanced biography. Moreover, at a time when every failure seems to have it's excuse, it serves as an inspiring reminder of what sheer determination can accomplish.

Rangoon, Burma — Saw Hlaing has been sentenced seven times by Burma's military-style courts and has spent more than 14 years in jails across the country.
During his most recent term behind bars — about 6½ years — his wife died, as did his father, his son became a man, and his daughter gave birth to his first grandchild.
But the former right-hand man of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi says he is one of the lucky ones.
"There are many more people in prison, and they must be released immediately," he said.
Since President Thein Sein took office in March of last year, more than 650 political detainees have been freed, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (Burma), a group that collects information on prisoners. The releases were a key factor in the U.S. decision last month to lift some investment and financial sanctions as Burma's leaders begin to implement change after decades of often-brutal military rule.
But the United States, other Western governments, human rights groups and the opposition continue to demand an amnesty for all political detainees remaining in the country. The question is: How many, exactly, are there?
"It depends on the definition of a political prisoner," said Naing Naing, whom Suu Kyi has tasked with maintaining a list of detainees from his shabby wooden desk at their party headquarters in Rangoon.
Many activists are still detained under draconian state security laws that remain despite the flurry of legal changes in Burma, also known as Myanmar. Others were jailed for more-
innocuous offenses, such as owning a computer or a fax machine.
These cases are typically a front for underlying political persecution. But in others the opaque motives of the regime — past and present — have remained unclear, even in the few cases that involve foreigners.
More contentious among activists and opposition figures is whether former military intelligence officials jailed after a purge in late 2004 should be included on political-prisoner lists. Many in that group were directly involved in detaining activists.
Former prime minister and spy chief Khin Nyunt and his son were released in January, but many lesser operatives, business associates, friends and family members linked with this out-of-favor faction remain behind bars. Few, if any, of their names appear on prisoner lists drawn up by campaign groups.
Naing Naing estimates that at least 245 political prisoners remain in Burma but concedes that it is impossible to know. Many are held in remote prisons, and the government has maintained strict secrecy in terms of who they are and what exactly they may have done in some cases. Equally unclear is why some are released and others, sometimes convicted on lesser offenses, are not.
"We don't have any idea how they make the lists of people they have released," Naing Naing said.
Suu Kyi, the United Nations and Western governments have privately pressed Burmese authorities to collaborate on a mechanism to identify and release political detainees, but progress remains slow and difficult.
Derek Mitchell, the new U.S. ambassador in Rangoon, said authorities could start by making prison and court records public alongside a formal consultation process with political parties, Burma's many ethnic groups and families of prisoners.
"Ultimately, we want the government to establish a structured, credible process to resolve disputed political-prisoner cases and close the book on this issue definitively," he said.
The United Nations' human rights envoy, Tomas Ojea Quintana, noted this year that the government classifies many as "convicted with irrefutable evidence," while the International Committee of the Red Cross has not been granted access to a Burmese jail since 2005.
Meanwhile, authorities continue to make secretive arrests amid sporadic clashes between government forces and insurgents in the north of Burma and in the west, where sectarian violence between Buddhists and Muslims in Rakhine state broke out in June.
"If the government has a case to bring against someone for rioting or insurgent activity, it should make the case," said Phil Robertson, deputy Asia director at Human Rights Watch.
The government has made only patchy progress on the treatment of prisoners after their release, according to those recently freed, another factor considered under sanctions.
Soon after Saw Hlaing was released from a prison far from his home — a tactic that keeps detainees from their families, another grievance of government critics — he was found to have liver cancer, a condition he attributed to years of terrible prison food and water poisoned by colonial-era lead pipes at the jail.
When doctors said he could not be treated in Burma, Suu Kyi and other well-wishers, as well as a hospital in Mandalay, donated tens of thousands of dollars so he could receive treatment abroad, but the authorities took three months to supply a passport, he said.
His 23-year-old son then donated half of his healthy liver, and Saw Hlaing said he spent six months in a New Delhi hospital recovering after a transplant operation. After he returned to Rangoon on Aug. 6, the government placed a restriction on his passport, preventing him from traveling abroad freely.
Burma has seen significant progress toward freedom for its citizens, Saw Hlaing said, grinning, "but the road is very rough."

As the electorate shifts the U.S. economy slows, producing less global public goods (new technologies, business practices, etc). Eventually institutional quality falls so much that the incentive to immigrate is reduced and population flows reach equilibrium.
Bryan, do you think it's guaranteed that the benefits to 100 million+ uneducated immigrants of living under American institutions will outweigh their negative effects on those institutions? Wouldn't importing high-IQ educated workers provide greater benefits (smarter workers get larger productivity increases from access to the American legal system and economy) with less negative (or perhaps positive) effects on public policy?
Just why would you support an amnesty for uneducated and unskilled illegal immigrants who are already working in the US but prevented from voting as non-citizens? You just advocated additional votes for college graduates (not to say that there's anything wrong with that), and now you want to enfranchise a lower-IQ population dominated by high-school drop-outs?
Here's another tool to prevent the stupid masses from enacting bad policy: separate countries, so that uneducated, dumber populations can only TRADE with smarter, richer populations, not TAX them.

As many as the market will bear?
I don't understand why the US would be overrun under an open border policy. Consider this: Manhattan has open borders. Anybody can go there to live. Yet, despite the population density, it seems to thrive. And plenty of folks don't want to relocate despite the possibility of a better life there.

The original citizens are worse off, the new ones are better off.
Funny, it seems the biggest proponents of massive redistribution and confiscatory taxation are plain old red blooded American citizens. Sometimes in order to keep illegal immigrants from coming to the US.
Restricting immigration to high skilled workers seems a popular notion, yet there clearly is a demand for unskilled workers, even if illegal. The government seems unable to acknowledge the demands of the market, and there's no indication it can dictate demand any more successfully than it can dictate the new fall colors.

A free market, given infinite resources, can bear an infinite amount of workers if they're productive. Adding more people makes society more complex with more creative ideas. The question isn't how much the market can bear, but when the resources will be exhausted. In this case, there are other countries, so immigration will continue until the U.S. standard of living is closer to the global standard.
If you want to see what open borders looks like, see the urbanization of China. They still have not reached the point where people are leaving the cities because of polluted air and water.

I am not fooled by the clever wordplay. Nowhere in the commentary is the word illegal used yet when people are asked it is always the subtext. The obvious answer to is to lead by example. Everyone interested in unbounded immigration please unlock your doors, publish your address and promise not to call the police. Illegal immigration is to immigration what bank robbery is to banking. It is no more immigration than is bank robbery an undocumented account withdrawl.
It is good to here some push for lower or no standards for new residents. Please provide billing information for my County to charge you for translation services, healthcare and the various other expenses associated with our alarming outbreak of whooping cough.

But immigration restrictions in place still massively reduce immigration relative to open borders. We probably get about 5% as many immigrants as would like to come, so advocates of actually banning immigration currently get 95% of their way. From my vantage point, anti-immigration forces practically get their first choice already. [emphasis added]
Well, we probably get only about 5% as many murders as disgruntled people would like to commit, if only murder were lawful or enforcement less diligent. Should we press folks who dislike murder to compromise with those who might prefer to commit it? What would be the optimal murder rate? Would it be 10 times the current rate?
Seriously, who cares how many aliens would like to immigrate? (The number is probably well over two billion.) The proper question is how many immigrants American citizens wish to accept!
The American government is constituted to reflect and enforce the preferences of Americans. I can respect an argument that the vast majority of Americans should strike some compromise with the small minority of Americans (the "elite") who want to import boatloads of "low-human-capital" serfs. (I propose this compromise: it should be an affirmative defense to the felony charge of employing an particular illegal immigrant that the serf's presence was necessary for the immediate preservation of his employer's life--and that the illegal immigrant left the country within 24 hours of the time the threat to his employer's life abated.) However, when setting immigration policy Americans have no duty to take into account the private interests of foreigners in faraway places.

Crime IS PART of the economic cost of Mexican immigration. While the migrants themselves do not have terribly high crime rates, their children do: Mexican-Americans have a murder rate over three times as great as non-Hispanic whites. Valuing lives at $7,000,000 or so, that cost alone is in the 11 digit range. Becker and Posner are blogging about destructive Latin American crime rates and their economic costs this week, in fact.

I have a weird idea for the immigration thing.
Why not try like hell to prevent people from entering the country illegally, but then once they get here... just stop giving a damn?
Sort of like permanent amnesty. We won't let you in, but if you do get in, you may as well stay.
I think the easy way to do this is by having papers that are near-impossible to forge, and requiring them for all government assistance. If you come into this country illegally and never need government assistance, GREAT! We love you! Stay as long as you want! Whereas if you do need assistance, you're not getting it here without a seriously high-dollar forgery.
We should get the papers made by the same people who do Microsoft certificates of authenticity.
Just a basic and probably oversimplified idea, but I wanted to throw it out there.

Robert Cote,
Illegal immigration is to immigration what bank robbery is to banking. It is no more immigration than is bank robbery an undocumented account withdrawl.
Alright folks. You have equated short-run self interest with long-run ignorance and ignored the distinction between fiscal and economic effects. Good rhetoric. Bad reasoning.
The fiscal effects in the states that absorb the greatest number of immigrants, legal AND illegal, are negative in the short-run. This is primarily due to the lower value added per employee and higher demand for services associated with the illegal immigrants as a class (not necessarily as individuals). However, the economic effects are positive in so far as they allow production that would otherwise not occur. Look at the low unemployment rate we have right now due to the decline in the real value of the nominal minimum wage that occurs as a result of inflation. That's also what happens when black-market production short-circuits the political decision-making process. In the context of the current level of illegal immigration, border states are, for lack of better enforcement, engaging in a forced investment behavior. They are investing in the future productivity of immigrants at the expense of the current standard of living for citizens and residents of THOSE states. Schools are stressed by the load on the system generated by higher birth rates of immigrants and the higher cost of educating "English learners" with an English curriculum. Social services are impacted by disproportionate demand fueled by immigrants who have a lower ability to pay. These have impacts on the government equivalent of cash flow. In a business, having inadequate cash flow can sink you even if you have a positive balance sheet. You get upside-down and you incur large financing costs in order to dig out of the hole. That's the pinch that Americans opposed to illegal immigration (those who aren't simply xenophobic) are sensitive to.
From the perspective of the immigrant it makes very good short-run and long-run sense to immigrate, illegally if necessary/expedient, so long as the number of immigrants doesn't topple the system. They are rational actors, not "dumber populations". The wage differential (Mexico:U.S.) is 1:12 for physical laborers. That is the largest wage differential of any contiguous nations in the world. You'd probably do it too if you could get away with it. What would your annual income be if you multiplied it by 12? And you probably make a decent living now. We have a choice to make regarding our insistence on the inequality (in a mathematical sense) between the two nations' allocation of the factors of production. Does it cost us more to influence an increase on their standard of living or to protect ours from erosion? In the long-run, increasing theirs gives us an export market for our production. Does ignoring that make us a "dumber population"?
A word of caution to those who haven't spent enough time reading their history: don't think for a moment that previous and current American governments aren't partly responsible for the economic condition in the nations of the Western Hemisphere. Take a look at what happens with extensive vertical integration in any industry. Cost are streamlined, profits increase to the consolidator but not usually the consolidated companies. Call me a leftie but has anybody ever heard of the Banana Republics? That model continues to create people-farms out of these countries.
In an economic sense, these people are making unauthorized deposits in excess of their unauthorized withdrawals. The bigger problem is that they're screwing up the accounting and that muddies the political decision-making process. That's a BIG problem, and one that is extremely important to me, but not the same as a "dumber population" committing "bank robbery". People being ignored and people being decieved are both elements of our present condition.
Your move.

I certainly agree that immigration is freer than the public wants.
I'm not sure this is true. You have to distinguish between the public's desired outcomes and the public's desired policies.
The public's desired outcome, I think, is less immigration. But people also want "legitimate" immigrants to have a chance to come. It's amazing how often you talk to a member of the general public who thinks that illegal immigrants should have followed the rules and come legally. And I've also been surprised how often ordinary Americans are shocked when they hear actually stories about the difficulty of getting in.
The simple fact of the matter is that we're living in an apartheid state that shuts out most of the world's population permanently and irrevocably because of their place of birth. And hardly anyone in America understands that. If this is explained to them they tend to change their point of view.

Limousine, but classical, Liberal.
Most of today's immigrants are very unlike those of 100 years ago. The West has lost it's confidence in assimilation, of self-sufficiency, so immigrants learn to celebrate their indigenous culture (which was so wonderful they had to leave it), to demand various rights, and glom onto racial and ethnic hucksters who make a living off the guilt of European suburbanites. Ever 'hang out' in Little Haiti in Miami? I suspect not.

Common Name
Standardized: alfalfa
Botanical Name
Plant Family: Fabaceae
Medicago agropyretorum Vassilcz., Medicago asiatica Sinskaya , Medicago borealis Grossh. (= subsp. falcata), Medicago caerulea Less. ex Ledeb. , Medicago glutinosa M. Bieb., Medicago glutinosa subsp. praefalcata Sinskaya, Medicago hemicycla Grossh., and subsp. ambigua (Trautv.) Tutin1, just to name a few…
Parts Used
Dried leaves and sprouted seeds.
Alfalfa is well known as a feed plant for livestock yet has had a rich tradition of use as a healing herb as well. Utilized since ancient times for its high nutrient value, Arabs fed it to their horses to increase strength and stamina. In traditional folk medicine, it has been administered as a nutritive tonic and was found to be particularly useful in cases of malnutrition or during convalescence. The dried alfalfa leaf is widely available in herbal shops and health food stores as an herbal tea, tablet, powder or made into a liquid chlorophyll supplement. The seed is often sprouted and eaten in salads and sandwiches.
Alfalfa is a long-lived perennial in the Fabaceae (or is sometimes put in the Papilionaceae) family1 with leguminous flowers which vary in color from purple to yellow, trifoliate clover-like leaves, and a deep penetrating tap root2 (some sources say that taproots have been found reaching down 68 feet into the soil!).3 Alfalfa is native to southwest Asia with wild species occurring in the Caucasus, and in mountainous regions of Afghanistan and Iran, and is very widely cultivated throughout the world.4
Cultivation And Harvesting
The US is the leading producer of alfalfa, and within the country, California, Montana, and Idaho are the major producing states.5 Alfalfa is the fourth largest crop by acreage, grown on 23 million acres,6 and is third in value, after corn and soybeans. Its national value is more than $8 billion each year.6
Alfalfa is best harvested for medicinal purposes when in bloom.3
History And Folklore
Alfalfa remains more than 6000 years old were found in Iran6 and it is believed that the domestication of alfalfa first began in the Bronze Age most likely somewhere between 1000 and 2000 BCE (probably near the countries of Turkmenistan, Iran, Turkey, and the Caucasus mountains).6,7 Alfalfa was important to the early Babylonian cultures, the Arabs, the Persians, the Greeks, and the Romans as it was used for feeding the warrior's horses (which were domesticated in Central Asia at about 2500 BCE).7 Accordingly, the name 'alfalfa' is derived from the Arabic al-fisfisa and means 'a green (or fresh) fodder'.8 By 400 BCE, Lucerne was being grown in Europe.7
In the U.S, the early colonists, with such esteemed members including Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, grew alfalfa.6 However, it was not widely cultivated across the country until the California Gold Rush of 1849 because, at this time, much of the equipment used to directly or indirectly support the mining efforts was animal-powered thus requiring large amounts of livestock feed.6 Alfalfa is considered the foremost forage plant for dairy cows as it increases their milk production.6,9 Not only does it provide nutrient dense hay, it is also a source of leaf meal used to fortify baby foods and a variety of other foods that are prepared to support weight gain and supply vitamins and minerals.2,10 It is fed to chickens and rabbits and utilized in gardening and large scale agriculture. It is a "nitrogen fixer" like many legumes.3,11 Alfalfa not only provides healing nutrients for humans, but it helps to "heal" soil as well and makes an effective "green manure" for providing nutrients to poor soil.3
Alfalfa was used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), making its first appearance around 200 CE during the Han Dynasty, for digestive system support and to stimulate the appetite.3 Alfalfa was revered for its soothing and strengthening properties. It became available around the 1850's to the Native Americans who adopted it into their healing system and referred to it as 'Buffalo grass'. They would grind up the seed into flour and put in gruels and bread and also ate the young leaves and shoots.3 In India, alfalfa seeds have been applied topically as a cooling poultice.4 The leaves are a source for the dietary supplement chlorophyll,10 and the seeds are used to make a yellow dye.4,11 In parts of China and Russia young alfalfa leaves have been served as a vegetable.4 In traditional medicine of Europe and the U.S., alfalfa has been used to stimulate appetite10,11,12 support urinary and bowel function,10,12 and as a diuretic.12 Further, due to alfalfa's nutrient density10,13 it has been utilized for providing easy to assimilate nutrients during convalescence.11 Additionally, it has been administered for not only increasing milk production in dairy cows but in lactating woman as well.10 It is recommended for use as a tonic after blood loss or in cases of insufficient levels of iron in the blood.14 In Mathew Wood's book, the Earthwise Herbal, alfalfa is portrayed as a soothing herb for calming the nervous system that is particularly useful for the type of person that is really busy, always on the go, and is very time conscious.15 Alfalfa is an alkalizing plant that has complex and seemingly opposite flavors of bitter and sweet and therefore both stimulates and regulates stomach secretion.15 Alfalfa aids in healthy digestion due to its fiber content which gives this herb a slightly laxative effect and also supports the structure of the intestinal walls.15
It has been used in money spells, as it is believed to combat poverty and attract financial abundance. Further, placing it in the home in a jar or sprinkling its ashes around the house was thought to protect the inhabitants from hunger.16

AbstractThree novel diterpene glycosides were isolated for the first time from the commercial extract of the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana, along with several known steviol glycosides, namely stevioside, rebaudiosides A-F, rubusoside and dulcoside A. The new compounds were identified as 13-[(2-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl)oxy] ent-kaur-15-en-19-oic acid (1), 13-[(2-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl)oxy]-16β-hydroxy-ent-kauran-19-oic acid (2) and 13-methyl-16-oxo-17-nor-ent-kauran-19-oic acid-β-D-glucopyranosyl ester (3) on the basis of extensive 2D NMR and MS spectroscopic data as well as chemical studies.

With attention focused on our own national, state and local disasters - hurricane destruction in Florida, wildfires around the state and country, and our own devastating Juneau fire - a terrible crisis is occuring in Sudan which cries out for our urgent action. Just as we respond to our immediate neighbors and friends, our sisters and brothers across the oceans are in desparate need of our help. We have seen the gruesome and tragic pictures on the evening news. The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum has issued its first ever genocide emergency.
The emergency in Sudan's western region of Darfur presents the starkest challenge to the world since the Rwanda genocide in 1994. A government-backed Arab militia known as Janjaweed has been engaging in campaigns to displace and wipe out communities of African tribal farmers.
In Darfur, western Sudan, 1,000 people die every day, and that number is rising. More than 1 million Darfurans have been bombed and burnt out of their villages, their crops and water supplies destroyed. Actions taken by the U.S. and the international community have not yielded satisfactory results. However, additional urgent action by governments and the United Nations to address this crisis CAN stop this genocide.
Concurrent resolutions introduced in the House and Senate declaring that the atrocities unfolding in Darfur, Sudan, are genocide and calling on the U.S. to lead the international community in an effort to prevent further genocide, passed both houses of Congress on July 22. By labeling the situation genocide, the U.S. would be required by law under the 1948 United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide to take appropriate action to prevent further killing and bring the perpetrators to justice. On July 30 the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1556, calling on the government of Sudan to live up to its commitment to protect its civilian population, to disarm the Janjaweed militias and facilitate international humanitarian relief. It authorizes initiatives to halt the killing, provide humanitarian aid to those in need, and to create safe political space so that dialogue between the parties can commence. The resolution also stops arms supplies (to everyone but the government), endorses monitors on the ground, urges other international support, encourages political negotiations, and commits the Security Council to meeting again in 30 days to consider 'measures under Article 41' (essentially sanctions) if Khartoum doesn't comply.
But we must not wait for a legal determination of genocide to ensure a massive worldwide humanitarian response and call to end the violence and investigate crimes against humanity. Those states which have ratified the 1948 Genocide Convention have the moral and legal obligation to take action in Darfur, and to do it now. The people of the Sudan cannot wait until after Labor Day. The Save Darfur Coalition of over 70 faith-based humanitarian and human rights organizations have issued a unity statement and call to action. They are calling "on people of conscience everywhere to take any and all actions permitted by each individual's or organization's abilities and constraints to:
encourage worldwide efforts to stop the displacement and end the crimes against humanity.
demand massive worldwide governmental humanitarian support and access to match the need.
help in the relief efforts by supporting organizations giving aid.
promote efforts to rebuild villages and return the displaced.
call for a UN Commission of Inquiry to investigate war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.
Alaskans need to urge Rep. Young and Sens. Stevens and Murkowski to thank the president for seeking a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Darfur, and at the same time urge the administration to call the situation in Darfur by its rightful name: a genocide, and to take a lead in monitoring the efforts of the government of Sudan to the UN to accomplish the steps called for in UN Resolution 1556. The U.S. needs to deliver on its pledge of $300 million in humanitarian aid. Our congressional delegation needs to keep the pressure on the president while they are on recess. The situation in Darfur is dire; international action must be taken now.
The Save Darfur Coalition has identified Wednesday, Aug. 25 as "Sudan: Day of Conscience." On that day, communities across North America are urged to engage in interfaith activities - involving individuals and representatives of all faith communities and nonsectarian groups - designed to raise public awareness about the horrific situation in Darfur and to demand that the international community take immediate and effective action to stop the atrocities, assure that humanitarian relief reaches all those in need, and help the actors in the conflict to reach a comprehensive political settlement.

Kent Land Trust hopes to buy Camp Francis site
Published 5:14 pm, Wednesday, January 9, 2013
A $500,000 Open Space and Watershed Land Acquisition grant has been awarded by the state to the Kent Land Trust toward the purchase of Camp Francis.
The once-active Girl Scout camp along the Kent-Warren boundary covers 253 acres at the end of Kent Hollow Road.
The Kent Land Trust has been negotiating purchase of the property for open space from the Girl Scouts of Connecticut.
The grant program, administered by the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP), assists land purchase for open space preservation using state bonds and funding from the 2005 Community Investment Act.

Female Beauty Photography

- April 18th, 2012
- Inspiration
It's the middle of the week and I would say it's time to chill out a little bit. Well, not sure if "chill out" goes along with the hot gallery we're about to present to you guys. As the title says, you may expect quality women photography. I am sure our male audience will appreciate this collection a lot, but hey .. there is plenty of inspiration for everyone, girls. My personal favorites are the nude artworks by Andre Brito and the fashion photography by Cyril Lagel. Enjoy! .)

Egypt shuts border with Gaza Strip: Official
A Gaza Palestinian border official expects the closure to last several days.
Jerusalem: A Gaza Palestinian border official says Egypt has closed its border with the Hamas-ruled territory amid the raging turmoil in Egypt.
Ghazi Hamad says he expects the closure to last several days.
The border terminal at Rafah had been rescheduled to open on Sunday after a routine, two-day weekend closure. About 400 to 600 Palestinians cross through the terminal daily for medical treatment, study and family visits.
Gaza reports also said three Palestinians who were imprisoned in Egypt had escaped during the upheaval and had returned to the coastal territory through smuggling tunnels.
Hamas officials say group leaders have postponed a trip through Egypt to Syria, where they were to discuss a new proposal to free a long-held Israeli soldier.

Brock Lesnar: If He Can't Return to Fighting, Who Will Be UFC's Next Golden Boy?May 13, 2011
There is no arguing that Brock Lesnar is the pound-for-pound king when it comes to selling pay-per-views. In the three events he has headlined, not a single one has raked in less than one million buys.
On an open media call on Thursday, Brock reassured the members of the media that he will be back once this second battle with diverticulitis is over with.
There are only two guarantees in life—death and taxes.
Although Lesnar has every intention of coming back and once again being a force in the Octagon, nobody can say with 100 percent certainty that he will ever fight again.
If you look at the worst-case scenario, Brock would never step foot in the Octagon again. If that were to be the case, who could step in and become the new golden goose of the UFC? Here are a few options.
Jon Jones
He looked like an absolute beast when he took the light heavyweight title away from Shogun Rua at UFC 128, but his drawing power is still up in the air. UFC 128 only brought in around 450,000 buys.
Should a fight between "Bones" and Rashad Evans ever come to fruition, that would undoubtedly draw huge numbers considering all the trash talk between the two. But after that, it would seem like it would take a little time for Jones to become a superstar in the sport.
His front kick knockout of Vitor Belfort will forever live in infamy. But if you look at past trends, Silva's biggest draw was at UFC 126, an event that drew an estimated 725,000 buys.
If Silva can look impressive against Yushin Okami at UFC Rio, there is a probability that he could become a huge draw.
Now with those two out of the way, the most likely fighter to become the biggest draw in the UFC would be Georges St-Pierre.
St-Pierre has been a solid second behind Lesnar when it comes to pay-per-view buys. Early estimates put UFC 129 drawing a little over one million buys.
When you take that and combine it with holding the record for the largest gate in UFC history, St-Pierre should be a no-brainer to take over the No. 1 slot.
But as everyone knows, MMA fans are fickle. Given St-Pierre's last four performances, he may not be the drawing force he once was.
Fans across the globe may have been so impressed with Jones that he may be propelled to that spot.
If Silva makes the move to light heavyweight, that may be intriguing enough to bring more eyes to the events he headlines.
Only time will tell.
