SEATTLE - Move over, tomatoes! All vegetables - especially broccoli, cabbage and their cruciferous cousins - may substantially reduce the risk of prostate cancer, according researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Eating just three servings of vegetables a day can cut a man's risk of prostate cancer nearly in half. While carrots, beans, greens and cooked tomatoes all were found to decrease risk, the strongest effect was for cruciferous vegetables. These findings will appear in the Jan. 5 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
"The bottom line is that if you eat a lot of vegetables, you can cut your risk of prostate cancer by about 45 percent," says Alan Kristal, Dr.P.H., co-investigator of the study. "And, if some of those vegetables are from the cruciferous family, like broccoli and cabbage, you may reduce your risk even further."
Kristal and Jennifer Cohen, Ph.D., from the Center's Cancer Prevention Research Program, led the data analysis. Janet Stanford, Ph.D., head of the Center's Prostate Cancer Research Program, also participated. All are from the Center's Public Health Sciences Division.
The study looked at the associations of total fruit and vegetable consumption, as well as specific types of fruits and vegetables, on prostate-cancer risk in 1,230 Seattle-area men. Half of the men had been diagnosed with prostate cancer and the other half were randomly selected men living in the Puget Sound region. Funded by the National Cancer Institute, this study was unique because it examined risks for prostate cancer in younger men (ages 40-64). By focusing on men who are at a very low risk of prostate cancer, the researchers were better able to assess the impact of lifestyle factors, such as diet, on cancer risk. The men were interviewed about their dietary habits three to five years prior to diagnosis (or an equivalent time frame among the control group). They also completed a detailed dietary questionnaire that asked how much and how often they ate 99 foods.
Men who ate three or more servings of vegetables a day (about 15 percent of the sample) had a 48 percent lower risk of prostate cancer, compared to men who ate fewer than one serving a day (also about 15 percent of the sample). This association was independent of other dietary factors, such as fat intake, and for medical factors, such as history of prostate cancer in a father or brother.
The strongest effect was for cruciferous vegetables, which include broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, and cabbage-based dishes such as sauerkraut and coleslaw. Men who ate three or more half-cup servings of cruciferous vegetables per week had a 41 percent decreased risk for prostate cancer, compared to men who ate fewer than one serving per week.
"At any given level of total vegetable consumption, as the percent of cruciferous vegetables increased, the prostate-cancer risk decreased," Kristal says.
Fruit, on the other hand, was a different story. When measuring the impact of total fruit intake as well as that of specific fruits, such as citrus, the researchers found no associations with reduced risk of prostate cancer. The researchers also found no special benefits for cooked tomatoes. This finding contradicts much-publicized research extolling the prostate-cancer-fighting properties of cooked tomato products, an effect attributed to a carotenoid called lycopene, a pigment that gives the fruit its red color.
"We found no association between lycopene and decreased prostate-cancer risk," Kristal says. "We also looked at foods that were good sources of lycopene, such as spaghetti sauce and pizza. These were not related to cancer risk at all." These results support four earlier studies that found no association between either tomato consumption or lycopene intake and risk of prostate cancer. The handful of studies to date that have shown protective effects have not controlled for total vegetable consumption, a flaw in study design, Kristal believes, that makes it difficult to accurately assess the cancer-fighting role of specific types of vegetables.
Scientists believe that vegetables protect against cancer because they contain a wide variety of phytochemicals. Many phytochemicals increase the activity of enzymes that can detoxify cancer-promoting compounds in the body. So if vegetables are good, would specific dietary supplements containing megadoses of these phytochemicals be better? "I think it would be a complete mistake; a significant error," Kristal says. "Vegetables - all food, actually - contain many biologically active components. We have some clues about which ones may be active in preventing prostate cancer, but it's not likely to be lycopene or any one single compound. It's much more likely to be the result of many compounds working together in very complex ways.
"It is therefore much more important to eat a variety of different vegetables. I don't think pills will take the place of eating a good diet, at least not in my lifetime."
On a related note: Watch for an upcoming editorial by Drs. Alan Kristal and Jennifer Cohen entitled "Tomatoes, Lycopene and Prostate Cancer: How Strong is the Evidence?" in the Jan. 15 issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology (media embargo lifts Jan. 10).

SIDEBAR: Menu tips for a prostate-cancer prevention diet
Whether eating to prevent prostate cancer or to promote general good health, it's easy to incorporate at least three servings of vegetables per day into one's diet. Dr. Alan Kristal of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, a cancer-prevention researcher who is also a trained chef, suggests the following sample menu:
- At breakfast, drink a glass of tomato or other vegetable juice. Put a slice of tomato on toast, or add sauteed vegetables to scrambled eggs or omelets.
- For lunch, include a salad with plenty of carrots, red cabbage or other raw vegetables. Eat vegetable soups, such as beef vegetable, minestrone or cream of broccoli soup. Add a side of cooked vegetables.
- For dinner, eat two vegetables with your main course, or eat a vegetable and have a salad. Add vegetables, such as peas, to pasta dishes. Add extra vegetables to casseroles.
- For snacks, have cut raw vegetables ready to go. Buy baby carrots or cherry tomatoes. Cut up celery, broccoli or cauliflower florets. Keep them in water in your refrigerator, and they will stay crisp

Berries are definitely in season, so I decided to make two berry tarts. The tarts are composed of pâte sucrée dough, a vanilla pastry cream and topped with fresh berries. These tarts make a simple and satisfying summer dessert. The raspberries were picked from Philippe's garden and the salmonberries were picked with the help of my two nephews and niece, during a recent trip visiting them on Vancouver Island.
21/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 large egg yolks
1/4 cup ice water
1. Place the flour and sugar in the bowl of a food processor, and process for a few seconds to combine. Add the butter pieces to the flour mixture, and process until the mixture resembles course meal, about 10 seconds. In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks and ice water. Add egg-water in a slow steady stream through the feed tube, with the machine running, just until the dough holds together. Do not process for more than 30 seconds.
2. Turn the dough out onto a work surface. Divide into 2 equal pieces, and place on 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Flatten, and form two disks. Wrap, and refrigerate at least 1 hour before using.
Makes two 11-inch tarts, two 9-inch tarts, or two 8-inch tarts.
This pastry dough may be stored in the freezer for up to 1 month. Defrost by refrigerating overnight or letting stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
* From the Martha Stewart Living Cookbook
Pastry cream
2 large whole eggs
2 large egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups milk
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and scraped,
or 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut in tablespoons
1. Combine the eggs, yolks, and 1/2 cup sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until the mixture is pale yellow and thick, about 5 minutes. Turn off the machine. Sift in the cornstarch; beat on medium-low speed until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
2. Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Combine the milk, the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, and the vanilla bean and seed scrapings in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, and discard the vanilla bean. Whisking constantly, slowly pour half of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture; whisk until smooth. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot milk. Set over medium heat, and whisk until the mixture reaches the consistency of pudding, 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring until melted and incorporated after each addition. Place the bowl over the ice bath, stirring occasionally, until chilled. Cover the surface of the pastry cream with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming; let chill overnight or at least 11/2 hours before using.
Makes 3 cups. This will fill two 9-inch tart shells, three 3 x 14-inch rectangles, or up to four-dozen 3-inch tartlets. It can be made ahead and chilled for up to 3 days.

A small problem. When going back over old correspondence I found an inconsistency. I have a Frances Jane McDOUGALL born c1861 (I think NSW) and married to Henry Alfred FIELD 15/5/1890 in Brisbane and died 24/12/1909 in Brisbane when her parents were recorded in the Qld BDM index as Daniel John McDOUGALL and Esther HENDLE. Henry Alfred FIELD may have died 15/10/1911 in Qld. I also have Frances Jane McDOUGALL (who is a niece of the previous Frances Jane) born 26/3/1899 and married Reginald Leonard JOHNS 6/4/1939 and is the daughter of Henry Robert McDOUGALL and Sophia Hurford SAINT. Now here is a paragraph taken from a letter I received from a fourth cousin living in Bundaberg in 1999. "The Frances Jane McDOUGALL married to Henry Alfred FIELD belongs to Henry Robert. I was able to see the family bible. The only problem is that her sister who is still living here says she was married to Len JOHNS. I have found her marriage to Henry FIELD but not to Len JOHNS. Daniel John's eldest son Francis James born 1861 in Sydney." These are some of the possible things that I think may have happened. I believe that the writer of the letter did see the family bible, but it may be possible that she mistook which family it belonged to. The sister still living would be at least 72 years old, and we all know how time seems to change the way we remember things. If anyone can tell me anything about any of these people I would be most pleased to communicate with them. Please send an email.

Browns fire Chudzinski
BEREA, Ohio — The Cleveland Browns have relieved Head Coach Rob Chudzinski of his duties, the organization announced Sunday night.
The team issued the following statement:
"We appreciate Chud's passion for the Browns, and we have great respect for him both personally and professionally. We needed to see progress with this football team. We needed to see development and improvement as the season evolved and, unfortunately, we took a concerning step backward in the second half of the year.
"Our fans deserve to see a consistently competitive team. We have high standards, and there's an urgency for success. When we believed we were not positioned to achieve significant progress in 2014, we knew we had to admit that a change was needed, and move forward.
"Browns fans are the most loyal and passionate supporters in the NFL. We're fully committed to bringing them the winning football team they deserve."

Dell investors may still gain after Blackstone pullout: Barron's
Dell shareholders could still stand to profit even after Blackstone Group LP withdrew its bid to buy the world's No. 3 personal computer maker more than a week ago, Barron's said on Sunday.business Updated: Apr 29, 2013 10:58 IST
Dell shareholders could still stand to profit even after Blackstone Group LP withdrew its bid to buy the world's No. 3 personal computer maker more than a week ago, Barron's said on Sunday.
On April 19, Blackstone's move knocked Dell shares to a two-month low and narrowed the fight for Dell between activist investor Carl Icahn and the company's founder Michael Dell and Silver Lake Partners, the newspaper said.
Blackstone dropped its bid for Dell at $14.25 a share, citing deteriorating demand for PCs.
On Friday, Dell's stock closed at $13.35, below the $13.65-a-share proposed buyout from its founder and Silver Lake.
"Dell shares now look appealing because investors stand to make a small profit if the Michael Dell-led offer gets approved," the paper said in its April 29 edition.
Icahn and Southeastern Asset Management, Dell's largest independent shareholder that complained the buyout offer being too low, have valued the company at more than $20 a share, Barron's said.
Icahn proposed in early March, about a month after the Dell/Silver Lake's announced its bid, for a $9-a-share special dividend. He has not made a formal offer for Dell, which Barron's said could involve a tender of 58 percent of the PC marker's stock at $15 per share.
If a Icahn offer does not emerge, Wall Street analysts reckon Dell might fall as low as $10 a share, the paper said.
The planned buyout, which has angered Southeastern and other major investors, faces a tough shot of being approved, excluding its founder who owns 16 percent of the company, according to the paper.
If Dell/Silver Lake bid fails, it will be "welcome news for Dell investors, who could then benefit from alternatives that offer immediate and long-term benefits that probably far exceed $13.65 a share," Barron's said.

South Florida snuck its way into the glamorous Hollywood spotlight of Thursday's Academy Award nominations, but not in a way you might expect.
"Kings Point," a poignant look at life, love and loneliness among six residents of the titular retirement community in Delray Beach, was among the titles nominated in the Short Documentary category.
The film, which clocks in at about 30 minutes, was seen locally at last fall's Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival, which CEO Greg Von Hausch attributed to a bit of luck. "Kings Point" arrived in an unassuming envelope, one of many cold submissions that often get ignored by harried FLIFF curators. But seeing the Florida tie-in, Von Hausch took a shot.
"It was much more than it appeared to be. There's life, death, comedy and pathos," Von Hausch said Thursday afternoon. "How the camera captured all these intimate and rather private moments was amazing. I'm just delighted for this film."
"Kings Point" is the result of two decades of visits by filmmaker Sari Gilman (pictured) to see her grandmother, who moved to South Florida from New York. In the beginning, life was warm and sunny, but as Gilman writes on the film's website, day-to-day existence for her grandmother and friends took an inevitable turn.
"Loneliness became endemic. While my grandmother was not interested in finding a partner after my grandfather passed, some residents entered a fierce dating scene," Gilman writes. "With women far outnumbering men, the competition was brutal, and residents had plenty of time to gossip. … I noticed an almost Darwinian aspect of social life. If you had your health, you were popular. If not, people stopped coming by."
Gilman woke up early Thursday morning in anticipation of the Oscar nominations.
"It was actually a friend on the East Coast (5:30 my time) who told me," Gilman said in an email from her home in San Francisco. "I was in my pajamas and it was still dark, but I was laughing to myself out of joy."
Gilman is especially gratified to know that the nomination will mean that more people may see "Kings Point."
"People will see that the thoughts and emotions of the residents of Kings Point are interesting and valid and worth listening to," she said. "There are people who are experiencing all the same joys and challenges that we all do. Ultimately, looking for human connection."
The film is dedicated to her grandmother, who died two years ago.
"I only wish that she were here to enjoy this moment with me," Gilman said.
The FLIFF screening drew many Kings Point residents, who were very excited "until they found out I was going to charge them full price," Von Hausch said, laughing.
They may get another chance: Gilman has plans to return to South Florida to screen the film for Kings Point residents. And the documentary is set to air March 11 on HBO. For more information, go to KingsPointMovie.com.

Development of classifiers for diagnosis - regression models, trees or tree ensembles?
Search Medline for
|September 8, 2005
Several approaches are used to derive classification rules for the diagnosis of patients. Most of the approaches belong to one of the three classes: regression models, classification trees or neural networks. Within each class a variety of modifications is proposed in the literature, furthermore several approaches to aggregate classifiers have been suggested to improve classification rules. Issues as complexity, (in-)stability and interpretability are discussed controversially, a general assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of specific approaches is difficult.
Subject and methods
Using diagnostic studies we will compare classifiers to differentiate between two groups. We will compare error rates, the Brier score and others for classifiers developed from logistic regression models, classification trees, boosting trees and random forests. We will also discuss issues of interpretability and practical usefulness.
Concerning error rates and other statistical criteria differences between the approaches are small. Trees can be improved by ensemble methods. Concerning interpretability and practical usefulness regression models with strong factors included have several advantages.
Ensemble methods can be used to improve classifiers based on trees. However, considering interpretability, transportability and practical usefulness as important criteria, regression models with the strong factors included are still the method of choice.

Tips for secure online holiday shopping
by Larry Magid
This post fist appeared in the San Jose Mercury News
By all accounts, the online holiday sales season got off to a good start. Tracking companies reported big increases for this year's Thanksgiving weekend and Cyber Monday, including a 70 percent increase in shopping from mobile devices.
Of course, Thanksgiving weekend and Cyber Monday are just the opening rounds of holiday online shopping. I got several pitches last week for "cyber week" sales. I'm fully expecting to see ads for "cyber month," because the holiday shopping season doesn't actually end on December 25th. Many online and offline stores offer after-Christmas sales. Clearly we have a lot of online shopping ahead of us.
One of the biggest obstacles to online shopping is the fear of fraud or a security scam. Although longtime Internet users may already know how to protect themselves, we're seeing a lot of new people shopping online this year as Internet use become ubiquitous. And most of us are new to shopping from mobile devices. They too have security risks.
While security is an issue, it's important not to overblow the fear. If you shop in physical stores you run the risk of getting into an accident on the way, having your car dinged in the parking lot or having your pocket or purse picked. There is even a risk of in-store credit card fraud, where a clerk copies down all your information. These risks are low, but so are the risks of online shopping. Most of us don't encounter fraud, identity theft or merchandise that never shows up.
The most important thing you can do is to be sure you're dealing with a reputable site. Even if it looks like a merchant you know, take a careful look at the site's web address (URL). If it's Sears, for example, make sure it's really Sears.com and not something like Sears.somethingelse.com.
That's especially important if you're clicking on a link that comes by email. Phishing attacks that take you to fake look-alike sites are getting increasingly sophisticated. I try to avoid clicking on links in email and just type in the site's URL. Also be careful about misspellings. It's not uncommon for scammers to register a site with a slight variation of a legitimate site's name.
Even if the site isn't a fraud, it may still be somewhat unreputable. I once bought a camera online at a price that was "too good to be true." The camera did arrive but without a battery, battery charger or manual. By the time I bought the required accessories, I wound up spending more than if I had bought it at Amazon.com.
If you're not familiar with a site, look at it carefully. Read the "about us" section to look for a street address and phone number. Give them a call if you feel a need for a bit of human contact with them and by all means look them up on a search engine. Sometimes I'll type in the merchant's name in Google followed by "scam" to see what comes up. I don't necessarily take all reports literally — even reputable merchants will get some complaints — but I look to see how many there are and where they are coming from.
You should always use a payment method that gives you some recourse. Credit cards are best because, if you have a complaint, you can ask the credit card company to investigate and it will remove the charge until it determines if it's fraudulent. You also have protections with debit cards, but since they take the money out of your account immediately, you have to ask that it be put back. PayPal also offers some protections against fraud.
You might want to avoid shopping or banking from public Wi-Fi networks, especially ones that aren't secured with a password. Even if it is password protected, there is the chance that someone could "sniff" what you're doing on the public network.
Finally, make sure your device is secure. And notice that I said "device," not PC. Many of us are using security or "anti-virus" software on our PCs and heeding advice to keep our operating systems and software up-to-date. But most people don't pay much attention to smartphone security.
As smartphone shopping and banking increases, cyber criminals are turning their attention to mobile. Be very careful about the apps you download — some have been known to contain malware that can steal your information. Only download from trusted sources like the Apple App store or Google Play and read the reviews in those stores if you're not familiar with the app. The major security software companies like Norton, Trend Micro and McAfee offer mobile software, as does Lookout.com, which has both a free and premium app to protect iPhone and Android phones.

Cornell Plantations will launch a national search for a new director, following the resignation of Donald Rakow, who will be returning full-time to the Department of Horticulture.
The announcement was made on May 22 by Kathryn Boor, the Ronald P. Lynch Dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS).
Horticulture professor Chris Wien was named as interim director on June 6.
Cornell Plantations, an affiliate of CALS, is the botanical gardens, arboretum, and natural areas of Cornell University.
"Cornell Plantations is one of the most highly regarded public gardens in the nation, with a mission to nurture and grow Cornell's world-class natural spaces, enhancing the aesthetic, educational and recreational experience enjoyed by campus residents and visitors," said Boor. "This transition is an opportunity to lead a dynamic portfolio of spaces and programs that serve a diverse audience."
"Don's leadership has been a key part of the transformation of Cornell Plantations in the last two decades. I am grateful for his expertise, enthusiasm and partnership," Boor added.
Rakow has been a member of the Cornell faculty since 1987 and joined Cornell Plantations more than 20 years ago. He was the associate director from 1993 through 1995, and was named executive director in 1996. He created and directs the Cornell Graduate Program in Public Garden Leadership, which is one of only two such programs in the nation.
Reflecting on his tenure, Rakow said: "Our growth, even through budget limitations and challenging economic climates, has certainly been among my greatest satisfactions. For so much of this, I credit Plantations' amazing staff and our incredibly generous donors and advisors."
Wien will take up the helm as interim Plantations director on July 1. He has previously served as acting director of the Plantations from July 2006 to Jan, 2007.
Wien, who received his master's degree from Cornell in 1967 and his Ph.D in 1971, joined the Department of Vegetable crops as a postdoctoral fellow in 1971, and returned as assistant professor in 1979, after working abroad as a research scientist studying grain legume physiology in Nigeria. He served as chair of the Department of Fruit and Vegetable Science, then the Department of Horticulture, from 1996-2002.
His research focus has been the production of cut flowers and herbaceous perennials. He also leads outreach projects encouraging the use of high tunnels among both growers and in school gardens. And he has continued international work in Africa, working with smallholder horticulturists in Zimbabwe, and leading student trips through the Cornell International Institute of Food, Agriculture and Development's SMART program.
Building on the success of the opening of the Brian C. Nevin Welcome Center, Cornell Plantations is now moving forward in the next phase of an ambitious plan to reimagine the Botanical Garden. In the most significant horticultural development since the F. R. Newman Arboretum was created in 1981, the broad expanse of lawn in front of the Nevin Center will be transformed into a beautiful series of new Peony and Perennial Gardens, while the plateau on Comstock Knoll will become a dramatic East Asian Garden.
A major initiative to raise almost $7 million for these projects is underway. Goals include $2.7 million for construction and plant material, and $4 million to endow the new horticulturist positions that will be required to maintain the gardens.

Notwithstanding the way that we rely on upon helpful authorities to recoup and recovery us, sometimes they don't give the thought we require and merit. Things we decried in the later past, for instance the capacity to walk, eat up, or grab a living, could be taken away when a part of the medicinal calling gives an omission. Medicinal thoughtlessness lawsuits hold masters, support, recovering centers, and helpful staff careful when they don't furnish the best possible standard of expectant thought to patients. Since professionals and master's work places continually have "critical pockets," they can surrender the honest to goodness system, forcing low settlements on medicinal lack of regard duped people who can't stayed to hold up. Lawsuitloanss.com can help level the playing field for you by equipping medicinal unfortunate behavior lawsuit store.
Wanting that you grab money from a lawsuit loan then you can use it on whatever you wish, in any case it is prescribed you use it on things which will permit you to see the court case through to the adjacent.

text: Bzip2, gzip, Why do you guys keep quoting those total outdated compressors :) there is 7-zip for linux, it's open source and also part of LZMA. On average remnants are 2x smaller than what gzip/bzip2 is doing for you (so bzip2/gzip is factor 2 worse). 7-zip also works parallel, not sure whether it works in linux parallel. 7za is command line version. Linux distributions should include it default. Uses PPM, that's a new form of multidimensional compression that all that old junk like bzip2/gzip doesn't use. TIFF files compress real bad of course. Maybe convert them to some more inefficient format, which increases its size probably, which then compresses real great with PPM. When googling for the best compressors, don't try PAQ, that's a benchmark compressor. Was worse for my terabyte of data than even 7-zip (which is not by far best PPM compressor, but it's open source).

Falcons slip past Seahawks 30-28
ATLANTA — Matt Bryant pumped his fist and celebrated atop the Falcons logo in the middle of the field. Tony Gonzalez broke down in tears. Matt Ryan relished the thought of not having to answer a familiar question.
The Atlanta Falcons finally showed they could win a playoff game.
And, wow, what a game it was!
After a meltdown in the fourth quarter, the Falcons pulled off a comeback that will long be remembered in championship-starved Atlanta. Ryan completed two long passes and Bryant kicked a 49-yard field goal with 8 seconds remaining, lifting the NFC's top seed to a stunning 30-28 victory over Russell Wilson and the gutty Seattle Seahawks in a divisional game Sunday.
"Wow!" said Falcons coach Mike Smith, summing up this classic as well as anyone could.
Atlanta (14-3) squandered a 20-point lead in the fourth quarter, falling behind for the first time all day when Marshawn Lynch scored on a 2-yard run with 31 seconds left and Ryan Longwell knocked through the extra point for a 28-27 lead.
No team has ever won a playoff game when facing such a daunting deficit in the final period.
The Falcons, thanks to a pair of Matty Ices — Ryan and Bryant — didn't become the first.
Ryan, shaking off his struggles in three previous playoff losses and two interceptions against the Seahawks, hooked up with Harry Douglas on a 29-yard pass in front of the Falcons bench, and Smith quickly signaled a timeout. Then, Ryan went down the middle to his favorite target Gonzalez, a Hall of Famer-to-be playing what could've been his final game.
Gonzalez hauled in the 19-yard throw, and Smith called his final timeout with 13 seconds remaining. Instead of risking another play and having the clock run out, he sent Bryant in for the field goal try.
The Seahawks called time just before the ball was snapped, and Bryant's kick sailed right of the upright. That turned out to be nothing more than practice. The next one was right down the middle as Bryant took off in the other direction, pumping his fist before he was mobbed by his teammates.
"Our quarterback is a special player," Smith said. "They call him Matty Ice, but I feel like we've got two Matty Ices. There's Matty Ice Ryan and Matty Ice Bryant."
The Falcons overcame their reputation for choking in the playoffs, winning their first postseason game since the 2004 season. They'll host San Francisco in the NFC championship game next Sunday with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line.
"Nobody flinched," Ryan said. "We just kept battling, kept doing what we do. That's been the makeup of our team all season."
Bryant knocked through his third game-winning kick of the season. But he'd never made one like this, with so much on the line.
"When they scored their touchdown, I walked down (the sideline)," he said. "I told the offensive line, I told Matt (Ryan), I told all the receivers, 'We've done this before.'"
Wilson threw two touchdown passes and ran for another, doing all he could to pull off the most improbable of comebacks for the Seahawks (12-6). But the Seattle defense, which is one of the NFL's best and had totally stymied the Falcons in the fourth quarter, went to a softer coverage and got burned.

Frecuent questions about Organic FoodSubmitted by blondie
Is organic food better for consumers and the environment?
By eating organic foods, you limit your exposure to synthetic insecticides, fungicides and herbicides, because these chemicals are not applied to organic crops. By eating organic foods, you limit your intake of growth hormones and antibiotics, because organic meat and dairy farmers are prohibited from using hormones and antibiotics in organic livestock and dairy production. By eating organic, you also limit your intake of genetically modified foods because organic farmers cannot raise genetically modified crops or livestock or use production aids that are genetically modified.
Organic farming methods help provide a safer, more healthy environment by: 1) not polluting our groundwater, rivers, lakes, and oceans with pesticides and chemical fertilizers; 2) reducing soil erosion; 3) improving soil quality; 4) increasing the diversity of wildlife on and near farms; and 5) Farm workers are not exposed to synthetic pesticides.
When I go to the supermarket, how can I tell organically produced food from conventionally produced food?
On October 21, 2002, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) put into effect the national organic standards ensuring consistency for all organic products marketed in the U.S. Along with the new standards, the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has developed strict labeling rules to help consumers know the exact organic content of the food they buy. The "USDA Organic" seal helps you find products that contain at least 95 percent certified organic ingredients.
You'll find four labeling categories when looking for organic products in stores and markets:
- 100 percent Organic: All of the product's content is certified organic. These products may display the USDA Organic seal on the label.
- Organic: At least 95 percent of the product's content is certified organic. These products may also display the USDA Organic seal on the label. These products contain some minor ingredients that are not certified organic, such as minerals and vitamins.
- Made with Organic Ingredients: At least 70 percent of the product's content is certified organic. Up to three ingredients can be listed on the label with the phrase "made with organic."
- Products containing less than 70 percent organic content may only identify the organic ingredients in the ingredient listing on the label.
Will I find the USDA Organic seal on all organic products?
No. The use of the USDA Organic seal is voluntary. And the USDA Organic seal can only be used on products with at least 95 percent certified organic ingredients.
On what food products can the USDA Organic seal be displayed?
The USDA Organic seal may appear on organic food products that contain at least 95 percent certified organic ingredients.
What are some key provisions of the national organic regulations?
The national organic regulations:
- Prohibit the use of irradiation, sewage sludge, or genetically modified organisms in organic food production.R
- Reflect the National Organic Standards Board recommendations on the allowable materials for use by organic farmers, organic livestock producers, and organic processors.
- Require organic farmers to demonstrate soil quality improvement.
- Prohibit antibiotics and growth hormones in organic meat and poultry.
- Require 100% organic feed for organic livestock
Do the terms "natural" and "organic" mean the same thing?
No. According to the USDA, the terms "natural" and "organic" are not interchangeable. Only food labeled "organic" meets USDA's national organic standards. While other claims, such as "natural" "free-range," and "hormone-free," can still appear on food labels these terms should not be confused with "organic."
Should I be concerned about the safety of eating organic food?
Certified organic farmers and processors follow strict food safety guidelines to assure safe and hygienic food production. All food producers, including organic farmers and processors, must comply with local, state and federal health standards. In addition to these health and safety standards, organic farmers and processors are also required to comply with the stringent requirements included in USDA's national organic regulations.
These more stringent food standards include restrictions on application of raw manure to soil; organic audit trail requirement; organic farm plan requirement; organic handling plan requirement; prohibition of synthetic pesticide use; prohibition of GMO use; prohibition of food irradiation; and prohibition of chemical food processing methods.
What does the organic industry do to ensure safe and wholesome food production?
Certified organic farmers and processors are inspected annually by an independent, USDA accredited certification agent. During the annual inspection, the certification agent verifies compliance with the national organic regulations and reviews the food safety practices of organic growers and processors. This helps assure that organic producers are in compliance with all local, state, and federal health standards and with the more stringent requirements included in the USDA's national organic regulations.

Oh, you adorable puppy, you. (I call all dogs puppies, shush.)
Spotted in Tompkins Square Park, NYC at the Halloween Dog Parade, this cutie wagged his tail (or nose?) with increasing ferventness. He looks a little violated, though, when he turns around and notices these random people, including nycpackrat, staring at his butt. It's cause you have such a cute butt, puppy.

A representative for Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman has dismissed tabloid reports suggesting the Hollywood couple split as a result of an affair.
DeVito and Perlman announced their separation after 30 years of marriage on Monday.
No reason was given for the break-up, but an article in the new issue of the National Enquirer alleges the Perlman called time on the relationship after reportedly discovering her husband had been cheating on her.
Enquirer editors claim DeVito was rumored to have enjoyed a fling with another woman while starring in a London stage production of "The Sunshine Boys" over the summer.
However, the former couple's spokesman, Stan Rosenfield, insists no third party was involved in their decision to part ways.
He states, "Whatever you may read is a fabrication. Nobody knows the real reason (for the split) because they have not shared it with anyone."

City Officials Look to Emphasize Street Safety in Sioux Falls. Citations Being Written.
A project to emphasize safety on city streets in Sioux Falls continues, and a police official says officers are still giving out warnings.
It's designed to educate the public about safety for pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists, and Lieutenant Troy Lubbers says officers made 322 contacts during the first week.
Lubbers says 56 citations were written, but they were related to traffic stops and not pedestrian safety, and he says the message has been positive:
Lubbers says officers gave out 266 verbal warnings to motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians during the first week. The emphasis grew out of a period of time in which the city saw more crashes than usual involving people on four wheels, two wheels or on foot.

It Aint No Fun When The Rabbits Got The Guns
Gun Control Conspiracy In America?
Today, I would like to talk about a very controversial subject. Gun Control. In the wake of all of the shootings that have happened recently, discussion of, and support of gun control laws has risen. And of course, this has produced big time push back from "the right to bear arms" supporters.
Gun control is one of the biggest battlefields that exist in today's society (just like internet freedom) as people desperately are trying to hold on to the few freedoms that they have left. And they are few.
Obama has recently made a strong push to curb gun violence. And that has also received push-back from those people, and even law enforcement agencies saying that they will not support anything that is unconstitutional.
There seems to be two compelling arguments on both sides of this. On one hand, if we would stop being so loosey goosey, letting everyone have guns, then a lot of these shootings wouldn't happen. The other side is that guns don't kill people. People kill people. And if someone wants to harm someone or some people, they will find a way. But… guns certainly make it easier to kill a lot of people… right? I'm sure that there is less likely to be a mass stabbing, or a mass box cuttering, or mass choking than a mass shooting.
But… there are some things that are problematic about gun control. One of them is of course, illegal guns. You see, criminals get guns illegally. So if you take guns out of peoples hands, wouldn't you be disarming the good guys (for lack of a better term)? There are also those that have made the argument that if someone had a gun (for example in the Dark Knight Rises shooting) that that person could have stopped a crazy shooter.
There are also people who claimed that there should be more armed people at places like schools and that could help solve the problem. Others believe that is ridiculous.
But today, I want to go deeper into the subject of gun control because there are a couple of elephants in the room that very few people want to address. I consider myself to be a sane and peaceful person. So… if you where to place a gun in my place of resident, I wouldn't just go out and start shooting people… JUST BECAUSE THERE WAS A GUN IN MY HOUSE. And I think that the same can be said for ANY sane person!
So… if an individual where to go out and start blasting massive amounts of people, then something obviously would be wrong with that particular person. And if a whole bunch of people just started going out and conducting mass shootings then COMMON SENSE would have to intervene and say, "Hmmmmm… I wonder why all of these people are going out and killing all these people."
At first glance, this sentiment actually seems to make sense. People are crazy nowadays. But why is that?
John Noveske, a famous rifle manufacturer made a very controversial post on his Facebook page six days after the world came to an end on Dec 27, 2012
Here is his post.
Not sure about the facts here, I received this from a friend.
Eric Harris age 17 (first on Zoloft then Luvox) and Dylan Klebold aged 18 (Colombine school shooting in Littleton, Colorado), killed 12 students and 1 teacher, and wounded 23 others, before killing themselves. Klebold's medical records have never been made available to the public.
Jeff Weise, age 16, had been prescribed 60 mg/day of Prozac (three times the average starting dose for adults!) when he shot his grandfather, his grandfather's girlfriend and many fellow students at Red Lake, Minnesota. He then shot himself. 10 dead, 12 wounded.
Cory Baadsgaard, age 16, Wahluke (Washington state) High School, was on Paxil (which caused him to have hallucinations) when he took a rifle to his high school and held 23 classmates hostage. He has no memory of the event.
Chris Fetters, age 13, killed his favorite aunt while taking Prozac.
Christopher Pittman, age 12, murdered both his grandparents while taking Zoloft.
Mathew Miller, age 13, hung himself in his bedroom closet after taking Zoloft for 6 days.
Kip Kinkel, age 15, (on Prozac and Ritalin) shot his parents while they slept then went to school and opened fire killing 2 classmates and injuring 22 shortly after beginning Prozac treatment.
Luke Woodham, age 16 (Prozac) killed his mother and then killed two students, wounding six others.
A boy in Pocatello, ID (Zoloft) in 1998 had a Zoloft-induced seizure that caused an armed stand off at his school.
Michael Carneal (Ritalin), age 14, opened fire on students at a high school prayer meeting in West Paducah, Kentucky. Three teenagers were killed, five others were wounded..
A young man in Huntsville, Alabama (Ritalin) went psychotic chopping up his parents with an ax and also killing one sibling and almost murdering another.
Andrew Golden, age 11, (Ritalin) and Mitchell Johnson, aged 14, (Ritalin) shot 15 people, killing four students, one teacher, and wounding 10 others.
TJ Solomon, age 15, (Ritalin) high school student in Conyers, Georgia opened fire on and wounded six of his class mates.
Rod Mathews, age 14, (Ritalin) beat a classmate to death with a bat.
James Wilson, age 19, (various psychiatric drugs) from Breenwood, South Carolina, took a .22 caliber revolver into an elementary school killing two young girls, and wounding seven other children and two teachers.
Elizabeth Bush, age 13, (Paxil) was responsible for a school shooting in Pennsylvania
Jason Hoffman (Effexor and Celexa) – school shooting in El Cajon, California
Jarred Viktor, age 15, (Paxil), after five days on Paxil he stabbed his grandmother 61 times.
Chris Shanahan, age 15 (Paxil) in Rigby, ID who out of the blue killed a woman.
Jeff Franklin (Prozac and Ritalin), Huntsville, AL, killed his parents as they came home from work using a sledge hammer, hatchet, butcher knife and mechanic's file, then attacked his younger brothers and sister.
Neal Furrow (Prozac) in LA Jewish school shooting reported to have been court-ordered to be on Prozac along with several other medications.
Kevin Rider, age 14, was withdrawing from Prozac when he died from a gunshot wound to his head. Initially it was ruled a suicide, but two years later, the investigation into his death was opened as a possible homicide.

What drugs was Adam Peter Lanza on, age 20, Killed 26 and wounded 2 in Newtown Ct
Roberts is the only one that I haven't heard about being on drugs of some kind
Also, consider this list of school shootings and antidepressants.
John was killed in a car accident a couple of weeks after he made this post.
When you combine this with the fact that antidepressants don't work any better than a placebo, do more harm than good, and are less effective than exercise, everything becomes clear. Ladies and gentlemen… this is not rocket science. This is not brain surgery. And this doesn't require 360 degrees or even 33 1/3 degrees of knowledge to figure out. PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS ARE THE PROBLEM!!!! Or at least the large part of it.
Now… I could sit up here and talk about MK Ultra, mind control chemicals used by the NAZIs and how these same chemicals are used in psychiatric drugs given to school kids, false flag terrorism etc… but I'm trying to stay off of conspiracy island at least for a minute because I want to appeal to all individuals (who can think).
Everyone is talking about gun control… but why is no one talking about psycho dr… oops, I mean psychiatric drug control? After all, drunk drivers kill more people than guns, but nobody wants to ban alcohol. They just say, "drink responsibly" (as if a person can be responsible, after they are drunk).
Well, that is a valid point. So are people overreacting to this whole situation? Maybe. But consider the following.
You see… the concept of gun control is not a new concept. It's an old one. And what's crazy about it, was that it was always used by the same type of people.
Check out the following info from Joe Wolverton II, JD
After World War I the Weihmar Republic began to pass gun laws in response to the increasing presence of terroris… oops, I mean communist that were in Germany at the time. Because of this "emergency situation", in 1919 they passed the Regulations of the Council of the People's Delegates on Weapons Possession act. All firearms and firearm ammunition were to be surrendered immediately. Anyone caught with a firearm would be subject to a fine or even prison time. Have you seen this movie?
August of 1920, they passed the Law on the Disarmament of the People. This law commissioned that a list of assault we… oops, I mean… "military weapons" be made that were subject to immediate seizure (I mean, after all… why would anyone need a military weapon… right?).
There was also a provision in the law that required citizens to turn in the names of those who had outlawed weapons and/or were "hoarding ammo."
The next law passed in 1928 was the Law on Firearms and Ammunition. This required licensing of anyone who manufactured, assembled or repaired firearms and ammunition. The trade and sale of arms and ammunition was forbidden without a license.
This license would be issued at the will of the government and the applicant was required to show that he was reliable and had a need for a gun (background check).
The law also placed limits on the types of and numbers of weapons that could be owned. You would have to seek a special license if you wanted to have more than 5 guns or more than 100 rounds of ammo. I mean… why do you need a bunch of guns… and a bunch of ammo… right?
And of course, in theory, these laws all made perfect sense. That is… until we find out that all of these so called Communists were all given their guns by the Germans… and when they committed or were suspected of committing crimes, it was used as an excuse to pass more restrictive gun laws.
"It Aint No Fun When The Rabbits Got The Guns"
And when the Enabling Act was passed, it was pretty much a wrap. Hitler issued a decree that basically stated that you could either join the SA, SS, or the Stahlhelm or be considered an enemy of the national government if you tried to keep or hide your weapon without authorization.
So of course when NAZI Germany was turned into a police state, the people obviously could not defend themselves with limited guns, and limited ammo. I'm sure that those people would have now liked to have those "military style" weapons back, as they at that point saw plenty good reason to use them.
"So, what are you saying? Is the government is staging these shootings to scare the population into giving up their guns?!!!!!!!"
Columbine Shooting/Bombing
Let's go back to John's Facebook post. The first incident that he mentioned was Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold in the infamous Columbine Trenchcoat Mafia massacre. This was a terrible shooting that brought America to it's knees.
It's also interesting to note that the FBI agent in charge of investigating the massacre, Dwayne Fuselier… had a SON Scott Fuselier who had done a video depicting the same type of massacre at Columbine high school TWO YEARS before it occurred! No conflict of interest.
Dwayne's OTHER son was at the school and "managed to escape" to tell the official story that we all have heard. 101 witnesses identified more than 2 shooters, a lot of them identified FOUR (some of them specifically naming the other two) shooters. Read the unanswered questions here.
The Virginia Tech Massacre
Another interesting massacre was Virginia Tech. Seung-Hui Cho, shot and killed 32 people, wounded 17 others in two separate attacks, two hours apart, and then committed suicide.
But what is interesting is that he committed suicide by shooting himself twice in the chest and once in the back of the head. Ladies and Gentlemen… WHO DA HELL SHOOTS THEMSELVES TWICE IN THE CHEST AND ONCE IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD?!
Why was there a lag of more than two hours after the first shootings before an alarm was e-mailed campus-wide? And why were the police given orders to stand down and not pursue the killer while all this transpired. You can read more about the oddities of this event HERE and HERE
Powerful information indeed. And after both of these incidents, citizens cried out for gun laws to protect them. Now… what was your question again?
"So, what are you saying? Is the government is staging these shootings to scare the population into giving up their guns?!!!!!!!"
I don't know… you tell me!
But I digress. Moving right along… The NAZI's weren't the only ones that restricted gun laws. Let's go back a little bit further ( I know that you are going to love this one). In December of 1773 in response to the British government's draconian tax policy, The Sons of Liberty staged what we now know of as the Boston Tea Party.
After this protest, the British Parliament passed a set of Restraining Acts in 1774 to control the colonies. These acts only provoked the colonists. In Massachusetts, town hall meetings were outlawed, so when an illegal meeting was taking place, the governor sent British Redcoats to stop it. But they got punked by 3,000 American troops. You see…
"It Aint No Fun When The Rabbits Got The Guns"
So of course the British began to pass gun laws to disarm the colonists, and keep them from receiving more guns. But the American colonist weren't having it. These events directly preceded the American Revolution. Read more about this Here
Now this piece of information is the most alarming. Because it is in fact what led to the Second Amendment itself!
What is the purpose of the Second Amendment? Here is the FYI. The Second Amendment was put in place for one reason and one reason only. It was put in place so that American citizens could protect themselves against the government.
But don't take my word for it… read the following quotes.
"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government"
~Thomas Jefferson, 1 Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government."
~George Washington
"This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it or their revolutionary right to dismember it or overthrow it."
~Abraham Lincoln
"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the outcome of the vote."
~Benjamin Franklin
This is what it's all about. This is why certain people are so avid about keeping their guns, and so afraid that they will be taken. There are people who know the history, and they see it repeating itself. This is the elephant in the room. This is about "The People" vs. "Those People"
Now of course, very few people will tell you this. This is because if someone comes out and says it, they will be demonized. But I'll just go ahead and say it. You see, you can call me a conspiracy theorist. But you WON'T call Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin or George Washington conspiracy theorist.
They KNEW what people today have been brainwashed out of knowing. They knew what people in NAZI Germany WISHED they had known. That power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. They knew that once the government began to "feel" itself, that the people would be in trouble. How did they know this? Because they had just dealt with it themselves!
It's interesting how people scoff at the idea that a certain class of individuals are conspiring to rule the world, or form a New World Order. But why is that so far fetched? After all, if "all these people are so crazy and evil" that gun laws have to be passed to stop them from killing innocent people, then why could not the elite class of the same society be evil also?
Oops… I forgot. People who are in a position of authority are ALWAYS good people! I learned that from the authorities.
I also learned another lesson from the authorities.
"It Aint No Fun, When The Rabbits Got The Guns"
Listen, I'm not here to tell you that background checks and gun permits and restricting gun laws don't make sense in theory. They definitely do. Because there are crazy people out here. I'm just explaining the push-back against it. I'm just demonstrating the game and how it's played… so you don't get played. Because as Ben Franklin said,
"People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both."
On February 17, 1950, Paul Warburg (member of the C.F.R.) stood before the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and stated the following, "We shall have world government, whether or not we like it. The question is only whether world government will be achieved by consent or by conquest."
1. The subjugation and assumption of control of a place or people by use of military force.
2. A territory that has been gained in such a way: "colonial conquests".
victory – capture – subjugation

Camera enforcement works to curb this dangerous behavior.
April 2019
Automated enforcement refers to the use of cameras to enforce traffic safety laws. Although many states have laws explicitly authorizing automated enforcement, not all states where cameras are in use have such laws, nor are they always necessary.
A common type of automated enforcement program is for red light violations. The use of cameras to enforce speed limits is less common, but increasing. The technology is also used to catch drivers who block intersections or fail to stop at a stop sign, pay a toll, drive past a stopped school bus or disobey a railroad crossing signal. The District of Columbia uses automated enforcement to ticket drivers who fail to yield to pedestrians. In states that have automated enforcement laws, some authorize enforcement statewide, while others permit use only in specified communities.
Many jurisdictions treat automated enforcement citations just like parking tickets in that the registered owner is liable. Similarly, just as parking tickets do not result in points or are not recorded on a driver's record, many jurisdictions do not assess points or make a record of automated enforcement citations.
Printable list of communities using red light and/or speed cameras
The following map and table summarize automated enforcement laws in each state and the District of Columbia.

News Coverage on Redistricting Local Standards
Orange County redistricting maps slammed at public hearingChris Mckenna
GOSHEN — More than a dozen speakers at a public hearing Monday night criticized the Republicans' plan for redrawing Orange County's 21 legislative districts, urging lawmakers to reject or change proposed maps they saw for the first time last month and are rushing to adopt to meet a deadline.
Objections focused largely on the lack of input from Democrats, citizens and redistricting experts, and on the headlong dash to adopt the district lines with too little time to study them and too little information about how they were drawn.
"By waiting so long, the public has had virtually no time to review these proposed lines," said county Democratic Chairman Jonathan Jacobson, comparing the county's redistricting to the running battles over its nursing home and Government Center.
"No wonder there is so little trust in this county government," he said.
Speakers also found fault with the maps, drawn by Legislature Chairman Michael Pillmeier and fellow Republican Legislator Katie Bonelli.
Two representatives of a SUNY New Paltz research center questioned the way the districts' populations had been calculated and warned that the plan would be unlikely to survive a legal challenge.
Gerald Benjamin, director of SUNY's Center for Research, Regional Engagement and Outreach, and Joshua Simons, a senior research associate, told lawmakers that the maps split at least nine census blocks — something they said was forbidden except in rare instances — and missed chances to create districts in which African-Americans and Hispanics formed a voting majority.
Using demographic data and their own mapping software, Benjamin and Simons submitted alternative maps creating so-called majority-minority districts in the cities of Newburgh and Middletown.
"I think that this is a flawed map," Simons said of the Legislature's plan. "I think that it is inviting litigation. I think this could be done better."
In a written statement, he and Benjamin called Orange County's redistricting process one of the "most opaque we have seen in New York State during the current redistricting cycle."
Manny Mangual, chairman of Woodbury's Democratic Committee, fumed that the plan would split his town into four legislative districts.
"Eleven thousand people will be divided up between four legislators," he said. "This whole thing is bogus."
Lawmakers expect to make technical corrections to the plan on Tuesday and vote on it March 21.
They're racing to finish so candidates can begin petitioning on June 4 to run for all 21 seats this fall.
Sonia Ayala, co-chairwoman of the Blooming Grove Democratic Committee, exhorted lawmakers on Monday: "Don't let the June 4 date get in the way of doing the right thing for the people of the county."

(Reuters) - Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp PRE.TO said Mexican conglomerate Alfa Sab de CV (ALFAA.MX) and Harbour Energy Ltd have offered C$6.50 per share, valuing the oil and gas company at about C$2.05 billon ($2.08 billion).
The offer represents a premium of 35 percent to Pacific Rubiales' closing price on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Tuesday.
Reuters reported on Tuesday that Alfa and Harbour Energy have agreed to acquire Pacific Rubiales for C$6 billion ($4.97 billion), including debt.
Toronto-based Pacific Rubiales is the largest independent oil and gas producer in Latin America and its shares are also listed in Colombia.
Pacific Rubiales constituted a special committee, which has engaged an independent financial adviser to deliver a formal valuation, it said.
Alfa, which already owns an 18.95 percent stake in Pacific Rubiales, has businesses in oil and gas, branded foods, aluminum auto components, petrochemicals, information technology and telecommunications services.
Harbour Energy is a joint venture between Asian commodity trader Noble Group Ltd (NOBG.SI) and U.S. private-equity firm EIG Global Energy Partners.

CSS ValidationFebruary 05, 2004
As reported elsewhere this morning, if you use the Tantek hack in combination with the
screen media type, your CSS doesn't validate. Long story short, it's because the validator is mis-reporting. It should validate, but it doesn't.
Well, at least, if you use the standard referrer method:
This way depends on an XHTML document parse tree, which means in plain English that it goes through your markup and makes sure you've set things up properly. If you take away this step, the validator doesn't know it's supposed to have a
screen media type. So if you try validating just the CSS minus a containing document:
Then you end up side-stepping the issue, and your CSS gets the thumbs-up. So I've done just this in the footer way down yonder to stem the tide of e-mail complaining about my so-called 'invalid CSS'. A hack? Maybe. Kinda. Not really. I'm still validating my CSS, only without the surrounding context. I should be providing that context, but the validator should tell me it's valid. I'm just trying to make it all gel, baby.
