Candidate presented by: Mr. Terence Miller, Director of the Office of International Education
Sister Janice McLaughlin, M.M., is the President of the Maryknoll Sisters of St. Dominic, Catholic Sisters dedicated to overseas service. She joined the Maryknoll Sisters in 1961 and earned her bachelor of arts degree in theology, anthropology and sociology from Marquette University, graduating Magna cum Laude in 1969.
That same year Sister Janice was assigned to Kenya where she served as Communications Coordinator for the Catholic Church. In Kenya she was responsible for training journalists and broadcasters, setting up diocesan newspapers, producing radio and television programs, and drafting public statements for bishops. In 1977 she was sent to what was then Rhodesia to serve as Press Secretary of the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace. Documenting the atrocities of Ian Smith's government before its collapse led to Sister Janice's arrest, imprisonment, and deportation after only three months. Her work was compiled and collected into a publication called Rhodesia, the Propaganda War that was published by the Catholic Institute for International Relations in London and the American Committee on Africa in New York.
After her deportation she worked with the Washington Office on Africa, and in 1979 she became the Projects Officer for the Zimbabwe Project, a new initiative set up by a consortium of Catholic donors to assist refugees from the war in Rhodesia. After Zimbabwe gained independence in 1980, Sister Janice was invited by the independent government of Zimbabwe to work as education consultant in the President's Office. In that capacity, she helped to build nine schools for former refugees and war veterans and developed a new system of education which linked academic subjects with technical training. Education with Production in Zimbabwe: the Story of ZIMFEP is the title of a book she wrote with others to describe this experiment.
In 1991 Sister Janice returned to Maryknoll, New York to work as Communications Coordinator. Six years later she was back in Zimbabwe and became the training coordinator for Silveira House, a leadership training and development education center run by the Jesuits for the economically poor and marginalized. She continued to live in Zimbabwe until 2009, where she chaired the African Forum for Catholic Social Teaching, an association of justice and peace practitioners throughout East, Central and Southern Africa. She also chaired the Counseling Services Unit, a group of doctors and counselors who assist the victims of violence in Zimbabwe.
Throughout all the success and hardship Sister Janice has experienced in her international work, she has earned a reputation for perseverance. "I've learned that to persevere and not lose hope is possible only through a deepening of faith in God's goodness and presence," she says. "We must not be disheartened by human failure."
Sister Janice earned a doctorate in religious studies from the University of Zimbabwe in 1992. Her thesis, On the Frontline, Rural Catholic Missions and Zimbabwe's Liberation War, was published in 1995. She is co-author of an Advocacy Training Manual, used throughout Zimbabwe to train local communities to lobby for changes in policies that affect their lives. Her latest book, Ostriches, Dung Beetles, and other Spiritual Master: A Book of Wisdom from the Wild, was published by Orbis Books in 2009.
Because of her tenacious commitment to a just world, her steadfast solidarity with the economically poor and marginalized, her strong belief in women's access to education, and her life work of giving voice to the voiceless, Reverend President, I hereby recommend Sister Janice McLaughlin of the Maryknoll Sisters for the Marquette University degree of Doctor of Religious Studies, honoris causa.

The Trading Fours jazz group plays their regular Friday concert tonight at Silverheels Bar & Grill at 6th and Main in Frisco, but with a few new additions.First, after recently losing drummer Alton Scales to the Community College of Aurora, they have acquired new talent in Joshua Cohn, a local contractor and 20-year jazz percussionist.Also, jazz vocalist Heidi Schmidt rejoins the group tonight to perform jazz favorites and a few of her original songs.

Postmenopausal bleeding (PMB) is bleeding from the vagina that happens after a woman has stopped having regular menstrual periods because of
menopause. Any vaginal bleeding that occurs 12 months after a woman's last menstrual period is considered PMB.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
PMB may be caused by several factors. These may include:
Some medical conditions and medications you take can increase your chances of having PMB.
Vaginal bleeding is a symptom of PMB. Your doctor can determine what condition is causing the bleeding and whether it is serious. If you have PMB, you should see your doctor.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Tests will be done to find the cause of the bleeding. Tests include:
Your doctor may need cell and tissue samples. This can be done with:
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. The first priority is ruling out cancer. Treatment will depend on the findings of your tests and the cause of the bleeding. For instance, if your tests show signs of cancer, you will be referred to an oncologist, a doctor who specializes in treating cancer.
There are no current guidelines to prevent PMB.

BEIJING, China - Amid a possible trade war breaking out between the U.S. and China, now the U.S. retailer Gap found itself in an uncomfortable situation with the Asian powerhouse.
The Peoples Daily, the official newspaper of the Communist Party, tweeted a picture of a Gap T-shirt on sale in Canada, which had gone viral, and pointed out that some parts of China were omitted from the Chinese map printed on the T-shirt.
The paper tweeted a picture of the map on Gaps shirt next to the one that Beijing thinks is accurate.
According to reports, the shirt caused massive offense in China and portrayed a map of China that didnt adhere to Beijings territorial claims and did not include Taiwan, Southern Tibet, and the South China Sea.
While Taiwan is self-governed, only a minority of countries recognize its sovereignty as a nation independent of China.
Further, the area that China has dubbed Southern Tibet is a disputed region on the countrys border with India.
China claims about 90,000 square kilometers in the state of Arunachal Pradesh.
Meanwhile, in the South China Sea, China is engaged in a number of disputes over islands, coral reefs and lagoonsin what is a major commercial thoroughfare that is potentially rich in resources.
Several other nations have claims in the South China sEa.
Following the uproar, Gap immediately issued an apology to china, although the retailer said the shirts had not been sold in China.
In an official statement, Gap said that all shirts in the country had been recalled and destroyed.
However, it wasnt immediately clear how the shirts would have been in the country if they werent on sale there.
The companys statement noted, Gap Inc. respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of China. Weve learned a Gap brand T-shirt sold in some overseas markets mistakenly failed to reflect the correct map of China. We sincerely apologize for this unintentional error.
Further, the company also reaffirmed its strict adherence to Chinese rules and laws.
China has launched a crack down on international companies to reinforce the One china policy this year.
In recent similar slip-ups, several companies, including Delta Air Lines, Marriott, Zara, and Mercedes-Benz have all apologized to the country officially.
At a daily briefing in Beijing, Chinas Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang responded to Gap's apology and said that it "will follow carefully their actions and remarks later on.
Meanwhile, Taiwan's Foreign Minister Joseph Wu told reporters that China pressuring companies like Gap to change how they refer to Taiwan was "rather unfortunate in terms of cross-strait relations" and would push its residents "further and further away" rather than winning their "hearts and minds."

An exaggerated rise in blood sugar following a meal. In people who don't have diabetes, the pancreas secretes some insulin all the time. It increases its output as blood glucose rises following meals. In people with Type 2 diabetes, the pancreas can be sluggish about secreting insulin in response to a meal. This leads to postprandial hyperglycemia.
Postmeal blood glucose elevations pose a challenge to people with diabetes striving to maintain near-normal blood sugar levels. Insulin regimens of one or two injections of slow-acting insulin each day handle this challenge clumsily: The person must eat when the insulin is peaking, both to avoid hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and to avoid postprandial hyperglycemia. Multiple injection regimens and insulin pumps provide more flexibility. A person can take Regular insulin half an hour to one hour before eating so that the insulin peak and glucose rise coincide. Using one of the three rapid-acting insulins — insulin lispro (brand name Humalog), insulin aspart (NovoLog), or insulin glulisine (Apidra) — before meals allows for even more flexibility and fine-tuning. Because they peak faster than Regular insulin, they can be taken within 15 minutes of eating. They also leave the body more quickly, losing effectiveness at the same time as blood glucose levels decline.
For people with Type 2 diabetes, there are now several oral drugs specifically designed to address postprandial hyperglycemia. Acarbose (Precose) and miglitol (Glyset) block the action of an enzyme in the small intestine that normally breaks down carbohydrate into glucose. Therefore, glucose enters the bloodstream more slowly, giving the pancreas extra time to secrete enough insulin to handle it. Repaglinide (Prandin) and nateglinide (Starlix) stimulate the pancreas to release insulin in a glucose-dependent fashion. (That is, the more glucose there is in the blood, the more insulin the pancreas secretes.) These drugs also begin acting, peak, and break down quickly, so they are well-suited to handle the brief rise in blood glucose that follows meals.

dough softening, dissolving, not rising?
I made Oatmeal Molasses Bread.
The recipe is simple. Pour boiling water over the oats, add molasses, butter, salt. Cool a little then knead in the flour. Rise, shape, rise, bake
I tried the recipe in two ways, because I am trying to gain experience with adding whole grains to breads. One, I did as above. The second I soaked the oats in small portion of water from recipe at RT till completely moistened, 5 hours. Then kneaded that in with the other ings. I wanted to see how soaking at RT made a difference in texture and taste in the final bread.
Both the doughs formed beautifully and formed the WP test. I let them almost double, patted down with stretch and fold and left to rise second time in the fridge ON.
The next day the BOILING-water-oats dough hadn't risen very well, just about doubled. The SOAKER dough had more than tripled. As I shaped the loaves, the BOILING-water-oats was much softer, very, stretchable (not so elastic), easy to shape. It was not smooth. I thought it was the oats. The SOAKER-dough was very resilient, bouncy, smooth. While proofing in the pans the BOILING-water-oats dough seemed to get more flabbly, didn't proof well and finally fell a little The SOAKER-dough proofed very high.
Of course the SOAKER-dough baked into a nice big, brown loaf. The other dough fell even more in the oven, took longer to come to 205. The final taste, the SOAKER-dough had a sweet taste, The other dough bread though not bad, had tinges of sour and bitter. And it was denser and took more time to brown in the toaster.
After this very long winded introduction, this is my problem. I have this happen to me three times now. I think I am following instructions but a batch of dough just softens and weakens, doesn't proof, begins to smell bad a little then makes a not so nice sunken bread. Every time there had been a ON soaker involved. Maybe coincidence but I thought it was because I hadn't added salt to the soaker. That were runway protease activity started that chewed on the gluten developed in the dough So I was going to add salt to the soakers from now.
But this time the dough softening happened not to the SOAKER-dough but to the one that had boiling water added to the oats and used soon after. Boiling water kills enzymes.
And then, each and every ing. is the same in the two doughs I prepared and they were prepped side by side at the same time.
So what is causing a batch of dough to occasionally 'rot?'
If it is not the soaker then I seem to have no control over it!
I cannot imagine that it is a microbial infection from my kitchen. I touch both doughs with my hands without washing in between. And I think my kitchen is clean.
I really need help with this one I hope you can provide me with some ideas.
Thank you!

Two left-leaning super PACs have teamed up to hammer one of Mitt Romney's statements from a controversial appearance at a Florida fundraiser in May, in which he says that it would "be helpful to be Latino" to win the election.
The two super PACs have each been very active this election. One, American Bridge, has focused on opposition research for Democrats.
The second — the Jewish Council for Education and Research— has produced some of the most viral web advertisements in the election, including the Samuel L. Jackson "Wake the F*** Up" ad and ads starring comedian Sarah Silverman.
Th super PACs' first collaboration features actress Rosie Perez upbraiding Romney for a joke he made during the private fundraiser, which was secretly recorded and exposed last month by Mother Jones.
"Hispanics represent 17 percent of the population and account for less than 2 percent of elected and appointed officials," Perez says. She lambastes Romney for joking that this his election would be easier if he was Latino.
"Unfortunately, Mitt, you were cursed with the hard-knock life growing up as the son of a wealthy governor and auto executive," Perez says. "And when your father paid your way through private school, Harvard, Harvard Law, and bought your first house, I just can't imagine how difficult that must have been for you."
Perez drives the point home in the last, devastating bit at the end.
"But the truth is, the reason why Latinos aren't voting for you is because your policies suck," she says. "Being Latino wouldn't win you the election. But saying jokingly that you wish you were might actually lose it for you."

I don't know, but based on the information in this and the reply, I ordered one from EIP yesterday. For $45 shipped, I've spent more on surge protectors and multimeters and if it works (even with a bit of Kentucky Windage) it will fill a need I've had for years. It could get here as early as tomorrow (they claim it shipped yesterday, and shipping usually takes 2-3 days) so perhaps I'll be able to play and report. rgb -- Robert G.

The following is a guest post by Jim Young.
If you're already 70 1/2, the term Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) is likely part of your vocabulary. If not, it needs to be – and soon.
When you reach this magic number, you are required by tax law to withdraw each year a portion of the funds in most types of retirement accounts – traditional IRAs, SEP and SIMPLE IRAs, 401(k)s, 403(b)s, 457b(s) and profit sharing plans (the rules don't apply to Roth IRAs if the owner is still alive).
See also: Find an AARP Foundation Tax-Aide location near you.
If you have all of your retirement funds in one account, the bank, broker, etc. will determine the amount you must withdraw in any given year. If you have several retirement accounts managed by more than one institution you must either determine the amount to be taken from each, or you can determine the total distribution from them all and withdraw the RMD from any one (two or three) of them.
It's not required that you withdraw some funds from each retirement account each year. The requirement is simply that the combined total RMD be withdrawn annually from one or more of your accounts.
A word of caution – if you decide to withdraw your RMD from the same account year after year you could run afoul of inactive account statutes in your state. Depending on the laws of the state where your funds are held, the institution where your money is located may be required to report and ultimately remit the balance in your account to that state. Avoid this by withdrawing funds from each account at least every year or two, even if it's just a nominal amount and you continue to withdraw the majority of your RMD from one preferred account.
If you turn 70 1/2 in 2013, there is a way to avoid taking an RMD this year, but it requires you to withdraw two RMDs in 2014. That decision will increase your income for that year and could potentially put you in a higher tax bracket. Get some advice before you postpone taking that first RMD.

The global real estate market in 2039 will be city-centric, with an increased focus on Asia and other emerging markets, and more investment by the public, according to senior executives at some of the world's largest investment firms.
The big money sees China, India and other Asian markets as drivers of real estate growth—and investment opportunities.
"Asia will be the future of real estate over the next 25 years," said Jonathan Gray, who manages about $79 billion for clients as global head of real estate for the Blackstone Group. "The largest investment markets will be in China, India and other countries in the region given their rate of growth. Both public and private real estate markets will be much, much bigger."
A common criticism of Asian economic growth is the relative disregard for the environment. That concern could be a long term investment opportunity, such as taking advantage of high pollution in China, according to LaSalle Investment Management, a $47.6 billion real estate investment firm.
"Although China will be switching over to renewables by 2039, concerns about unhealthy air will be so intense after two decades of respiratory diseases that they could likely pioneer buildings with filtered air, oxygen supplements and artificial light to replace lost sunlight," said Jacques Gordon, LaSalle's head of global research and strategy.
Key to Asia's rise in real estate will be the increasing importance of its urban centers, a global theme.
"Megacities will continue to grow and dominate in the U.S. and aboard," said Blackstone's Gray.

This evening me and the hubs went to the cinema to watch 'The rise of the planet of the apes' which was amazing btw. I whipped out my trusty Mac palette and immediately opted for 'Humid' eyeshadow, a striking green as it's one of my favourite colours.
All Mac eyeshadows: 'Humid' all over the lid, 'Contrast' in the crease & outer corner, 'Vellum' on inner corners, and 'Brule' to highlight.
Nars smudge proof e/s base + Urban Decay 24/7 pencil in 'Zero' on waterline and smudged onto upper lash line + Max Factor false lash effect fusion mascara.
I LOVE the effect, it cheered me up and made a nice difference to some of the more 'boring' colours I wear. I love the green combined with the navy and the beautiful 'sheen' finish it gives off. I need to wear these colours more often!
- Christian Dior Skin forever nude foundation
- Mac Moisturecover concealer
- Soleil Tan de Chanel
- Mac Rose Quartz MSF
- Estee Lauder 'Crystal Baby lipstick
In case you were wondering how huge I am at 36 weeks.....
All smiles!
Do you wear green eyeshadow often? How do you make it work?

The Original Airport Taxi – Since 1976
There are taxi companies that work at the airport and others that have the words "airport taxi" in their name, but there is only one AIRPORT TAXI. Our cars are maroon with white lettering. We set the standard for cleanliness, timeliness, and customer service in the Twin Cities market.
We are a Metro-wide, full service, 24/7/365 taxi company. Airport Taxi specializes in trips to AND from Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport (MSP Airport). We also provide rides to all cities, suburbs or any other destination. Most of our vehicles are minivans allowing for a more comfortable ride. (Up to six people can ride for the price of one!) Our vehicles are newer models and undergo the industry's most rigorous maintenance schedule, while our drivers are all extensively trained in defensive driving and attend customer service training classes prior to hire.
Advance reservations are dispatched with large lead times making our service especially timely. A portion of our fleet is stationed at MSP Airport and can immediately respond to pick up requests from either terminal. Simply collect your luggage and call our service from the baggage claim area. Then meet your taxi at the "Pre-Arranged Taxi" area within 3-5 minutes of your call. Click here for printable instructions on Arranging a Pick Up from MSP Airport. Our drivers are all very friendly and gladly accept credit & debit cards, cash, and corporate account service.
Airport Taxi is part of Taxi Services Inc., the Twin Cities largest company with over 400 cars, which is more than twice the size of any other area taxi company. When you call Airport Taxi, every effort is made to fill your order with an Airport Taxi, but occasionally we may "roll" an order to another Taxi Services Inc. fleet (Town Taxi or Yellow Cab) in order to serve you faster. This is a tremendous competitive advantage that other taxi companies simply don't have, and another reason why we are the Twin Cities premiere taxi company.

I decided to write this after my workout this morning when I recalled visits to some Uechi dojos.
I feel silly saying this but quite often I think about interpretation of kata movements when I have nothing better to worry about. When I was younger and full of vinegar I used to be preoccupied with mental imagery of how to take out a person (empty handed), but then I was younger and stupider and I got into street fights all the time, which of course I no longer have any interest in doing.
No offense intended here. Most of the Sensei's I met are great and serious with their practice. But some of the interpretations being taught were totally ineffective, to the extent that they are just ridiculous in this day and age where streets and bars are roaming with oversized monsters.
We are not dealing with little skinny 100-lb half-naked highway robbers back in 19th century China anymore. The bastards now are humongous, and most of the time they are wearing jackets. So there.
I have been an advocate of "thinking outside of the box" on kata interpretations. But I was just trying to be polite and really meant not to rely so much on text book or theoretical interpretations, even if they came from Okinawa. I wonder how many of those Okinawan masters ever got into a real fight to know how it really is. The interpretation has to work in a street fight situation to be any good. For those of you who had experienced street fights then you know what I am talking about.
There are many "funny" interpretations going around, one specific movement that got me going this morning was the final movement in Sanseiru with the crane strike. Believe me, there are many other movements with funny interpretations. I might be offending some Sensei's here but regardless, for this specific one I recalled being told by more than one Okinawan senior masters (I think they are all gone now. RIP.) and repeated by many Sensei's here that it is to strike the little indented soft spot behind the collar bone. Yep, speaking of textbook interpretation. Bring your hand way up with the crane beak and go at it at the little indented soft spot. One even told me that after the strike got into the muscle (say what?), pull your fingers forward to dislodge the collar bone. OK, taking Judge Judy's word, ridiculous! Think about it: Here I am in a fight with this huge monster, he may even be wearing a heavy jacket, and I am going to use my burning-sand-toughened steel rod fingers to crane strike him at that little spot behind his collar bone, and yes, when I got in so very accurately I would pull the collar bone forward. Yep, it will really work. He will just stand there and may even help me doing it like they do in some of those martial arts demonstrations.
Well, with full respect, I have my own interpretation on that movement. I might have stolen it from someone else but it is mine now. In my mind, it is simple and effective and will work even under Van's famous chemical cocktail attack. And yea to the wise guy out there who likes to ask wise guy questions, I haven't tried that on any real person or killed anyone with that movement yet, but I can try it on you the next chance we have.
I did some YouTube clips on various movements and thought about doing another clip on this but I am shying away from doing YouTube clips nowadays due to the trolls. I will however, demonstrate it in the next summer or winter camp if I am given the opportunity.
My point here is, if the movement doe not work in a street, you are just playing. It is fine if that is all you want.

What are some sexy and chic outfit ideas for a Valentine's Day date?
We are smitten with a holiday that is completely dedicated to love, and think your Valentine's Day outfit should be completely lovable too. So whether your plans involve a date with your long-time partner or a group dinner with your fellow single ladies, play up your romantic side with a glamorous ensemble evocative of a '40s screen siren. Here are four romantic looks that are guaranteed to create the perfect love story.
A splash of red can be just the right amount of color for an otherwise softer palette. A punchy red lipstick, a sharp red heel, or a bold red clutch feels festive, but not overwhelming.
While the hue is striking paired with an all-black outfit, it can be totally unexpected teamed with a softer palette of creams and faded florals.
A Valentine's Day dinner date is the perfect time to bring out your sexy little black dress. Try to balance your look so that it's equal parts demure (a fuller skirt or rounded collar) and daring (a short hem or nipped-in waist).
Adding a bit of rich texture can immediately make your outfit feel luxe. A velvet pant, skirt, cape, or top pairs easily with your basics, such as jeans, tees, and trousers. Try a rich palette of dark red, navy, black, or softer hues like cream or peach.
An updated version of the '90s slip dress trend is absolutely ideal for Valentine's Day. Try wearing a knee length or longer slip dress with a barely-there heel, and finish with a soft, chunky cardigan.

These charming chocolate and rum buttercream creatures, each with its own personality, are known as Igels in Austria. They captured my heart in Belgium and Germany, and I know you'll love them, too. Include them on an assorted miniature tray for a touch of delicious whimsy.–Flo Braker
LC Creatures Note
Uh, these little creatures—a cookie, actually—are most definitely hedgehogs, although with a little imagination and tweaking this recipe could easily make all manner of cookie creatures. Aliens, anyone?
Chocolate and Buttercream Cookie
- Quick Glance
- Makes 4 dozen
Special Equipment: 14-inch pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain decorating tip (such as Ateco #6)
- For the dough
- 1 3/4 cup unsifted all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsifted cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup rice flour
- 1 3/4 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- For the rum silk buttercream filling
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon dark rum
- 1/2 cup pine nuts
- For the dark chocolate satin glaze decoration
- 1/4 cup solid vegetable shortening
- 1 pound semisweet chocolate, chopped
- For the royal icing
- 1 cup unsifted confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons (1 large) egg white
- 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
- Make the dough
- 1. In a medium bowl, briefly blend the flour, cocoa powder and rice flour with a wire whisk. In the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter on medium-low speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Beat in the sugar on medium speed until fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Lower the speed and gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until thoroughly combined.
- 2. Divide the dough in half. Roll 1 portion at a time between 2 sheets of waxed paper to form a circle 10 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick. Leave the dough between the sheets of waxed paper and transfer the circles to a baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours. (You can refrigerate the dough for up to 3 days or wrap it tightly and freeze it for up to 1 month.)
- 3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and adjust the oven rack to the lower third of oven. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- 4. Remove 1 dough circle at a time from the refrigerator. Peel off the top sheet of waxed paper, replace it loosely, and flip the entire package over. Peel off and discard the second sheet of waxed paper.
- 5. Pinch the wide end of a 1/2-inch plain decorating tip (such as Ateco #6) into an oval to make an oval cutter. Using the cutter, cut out oval shapes in the dough, and space them 1/2 inch apart on baking sheets. Bake the shapes, 1 sheet at a time, for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the cookies appear dull brown and feel slightly firm. Place the baking sheet on a wire rack until the cookies are completely cool. (You can stack the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.)
- Make the filling
- 6. In the large bowl of an electric mixer, whip the egg yolks until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Remove the bowl from mixer stand. In a 1-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the water and sugar over low heat. Stir occasionally, washing down any sugar crystals clinging to the sides of the pan with a brush dipped in cold water, until the sugar is dissolved. Increase the heat and cook, without stirring, until the syrup reaches 238°F (114°C) on a candy thermometer. Meanwhile, place the yolks in a bowl. Pour the syrup into the center of the yolks and whisk quickly and vigorously until combined. Return the bowl to the mixer and beat on medium speed until the egg yolk mixture thickens and cools to body temperature, about 5 minutes. Maintaining medium speed, gradually add the butter to the cooled egg yolk mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time. Continue mixing until all the butter has been incorporated and the buttercream is smooth and homogeneous. Add the rum and whip until thoroughly combined.
- 7. Place the cookies close together on 1 baking sheet. Using a 14-inch pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain decorating tip (such as Ateco #6), pipe an oval bulb of buttercream on each cookie. Hold a cookie in one hand as you pipe with the other. Then arrange 8 pine nuts in each buttercream oval as shown in the photo. Refrigerate until the buttercream is firm, at least 2 hours.
- Make the glaze
- 8. Combine the shortening and chocolate in a 3-quart heatproof bowl. Place it over a saucepan filled with enough hot tap water (120 to 130°F/49 to 55°C) to reach the bottom of the bowl. Stir the mixture occasionally until the glaze is liquid and smooth and registers close to 110°F (43°F) on a candy thermometer. If the water begins to cool while melting the chocolate, maintain the 120°F (49°C) temperature over very low heat.
- 9. Place the chilled hedgehogs an inch apart on 2 wire racks placed over shallow baking pans to catch drips. Ladle about 2 tablespoons glaze over each hedgehog, to cover it completely. After masking the pastries, gently move each one slightly on the rack with a small metal spatula while the glaze is liquid, to remove chocolate drippings from its underside. This also keeps the pastries from sticking to the rack. If more glaze is needed, pour the glaze from the baking pans back into the saucepan and reheat. Pour the glaze through a sieve in case any cookie crumbs fell into it. The warm glaze sets up quickly after touching the cold, firm buttercream, leaving a gorgeous sheen. Do not refrigerate the pastries after they have been glazed.
- Make the royal icing
- 10. When the glaze has set, mix the royal icing ingredients together in a 1 1/2-quart bowl. With a hand mixer on medium speed, whip until the mixture is thick and has a marshmallow-like consistency, about 5 minutes. Fill a small handmade paper cone with 2 tablespoons icing and pipe 3 tiny dots on each hedgehog. Or make a small pastry bag by placing the icing in a resealable plastic food bag. Cut a very small tip off 1 corner and pipe 3 tiny dots on each hedgehog. Then, dip a toothpick into some of the remaining liquid chocolate glaze and place a dot of it on 2 of the icing dots, forming the hedgehog's eyes. Now their true personalities will be evident.
- 11. Gently lift each pastry with a small metal spatula, and arrange in a single layer in a foil-lined cardboard container, such as a cake box. Cover and store at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Decorative Variation
- For an easier—and less expensive—way to decorate these hedgehogs, omit the pine nuts. Coat the hedgehogs with the chocolate glaze and, before it sets, apply chocolate sprinkles over 2/3 of each pastry. Pipe "eyes" on the uncovered portion with the royal icing.

From Akshay Thusu
Honor Code Chair, UTSA Honors Alliance
The Sunday, March 30 front-page story in the San Antonio Express-News, "UTSA students commit sin they're trying to halt," intended to uncover plagiarism at UTSA. It did not. Instead, the story demonstrated both tabloid journalism and a reporter's desire to make news where there is no news.
The San Antonio Express-News garnered lots of national attention for its story, and even ABC Radio's Paul Harvey said UTSA's new honor code "was plagiarized." Well, Paul Harvey got it wrong. So did The New York Times, MSNBC, the Chicago Tribune, the Houston Chronicle, National Public Radio and others, since they relied on the San Antonio newspaper. Furthermore, some media outlets including United Press International and others incorrectly stated that I was personally in charge of drafting the UTSA honor code. I hope they will broadcast or print corrections; let's see.
UTSA students did not commit a sin; a sin was committed by the Express-News when it sensationalized a story for its own gain. I question reporter Melissa Ludwig's qualifications to cover academic integrity in higher education when she blatantly demonstrates lack of journalistic integrity in a story that appeared to be hurriedly put together to garner a front-page location. It is ironic that she wanted to educate us about integrity and properly used sources, when her story lacked both.
An important source in Ludwig's story, Daniel E. Wueste, director of the Robert J. Rutland Institute for Ethics at Clemson University, was dismayed by Ludwig's article. In response to the national media attention, Wueste wrote that Ludwig "wrongly suggests that I think the honor code at The University of Texas at San Antonio was plagiarized."
The reason UTSA's draft honor code resembles the code belonging to Brigham Young University is because it is supposed to -- they were both produced using template material provided by the Center for Academic Integrity. Wueste maintains that citations for their material are not required, and that sometimes it is best to use standardized language, particularly when it comes to rules. In a letter to the national newspaper, USA Today, Wueste defends UTSA, describing an honor code as being like a list of rules. For example, a swimming club would not be concerned if the safety rules posted at their pool were displayed at another swimming club.
According to Wueste, a national expert on the issue of academic fraud at institutions of higher education, "no one at the Center for Academic Integrity would say that the UTSA honor code was stolen." He makes it clear that the center is not in the "gotcha business," but unfortunately, it appears that the San Antonio Express-News is.
Some of the subsequent national media attention this week suggested that I was personally responsible for plagiarism -- and that I initiated it five years ago. I could not have done so, since I was a high school student in India. Ludwig's article refers to a "scary trend." The scary trend I see is the influx of tabloid journalism into mainstream media. As a result of bad reporting that became even worse in media outlets around the country, I have been the subject of disparaging e-mail messages that focus on my ethnic background. A lesson for the Express-News is that bad reporting brings out even worse behavior in its readers.
The hard-working students who are part of the UTSA Honors Alliance deserve credit for their outstanding work. At the very least, these students deserve to be the subject of fair and balanced reporting.

Makes great use of the available space and obstacles! Surprisingly flat for the Black Hills of South Dakota! Nice balance of fairly open distance shots and shorter skill shots. Water come into play on 11 out of 18 holes, depending on the basket placement. An enjoyable course for all levels of play! Also within an hour of Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, and lot's of Black Hills attractions! One of my favorites!

flat. threw in water at least 4 times. no nap. 90 degrees. def his roughest round of the 6 so far this week. but overall good!
+0 votes Brad Maestas › July 25, 2012
Fairly flat but with a variety of hole placements. Also a good variety of fairly tough water hazards that will get you if you're not concentrating. The front nine are fairly open so wind conditions can play a big part. Course maintenance was pretty good but not excellent. Nice big open lawns for playing catch, too!

This is a relatively flat course with no changes in elevation. A good mixture of short and long holes. Water comes into play on several holes with the irrigation channel, Rapid Creek and the swamp. There are also longer tee pads on some of the holes. There are many alternate basket positions to keep it fresh and entertaining. It's just an all around great course that will challenge you.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 30 diseños de 17 diseñadores freelance.
Our name (DocTracking) and/or a cleverly-related good-looking logo needs designing for our future web site.
Our tracking tells our customers when documents they have sent/given to other people get opened.
For example:-
- When someone sends a PDF invoice, DocTracking tells them the date and time the invoice was read (as well as what pages were read, how long for, where in the world the reader was, whether or not it was printed out, and all that info again if the PDF is forwarded to anyone else, etc).
If the invoice does not get paid - the sender knows the recipient is deliberately not paying (as opposed to them not having received/read the invoice).
- If a salesman sends a tracked MS-Word brochure, our service tells them instantly when it's opened - the perfect time for the salesman to place a followup phone call.
- If an engineer sends a confidential Excel spreadsheet to a customer, they will know immediately if that customer illegally forwards the confidential information to someone else (and to whom)
- If an advertiser sends a Powerpoint presentation to a group of people, DocTracking tells them how many people looked at it in total, with geographic charts and breakdowns etc.I need a logo for my company, probably to go alongside my company name (or to include my company name in the graphic).
I am open to anything that looks professional. An example of something I like is the "blues" color scheme in the PayPal logo.
Must look professional - preferably also "clever"
Original high-definition/vector art format files required (eg: photoshop/illustrator/etc)
I don't want anything amateur or gawdy looking

Alpine Advantage Aviation
We are a new aviation management company that is home based in Colorado, USA. Our business is to provide our customers with a safe, exclusive, and enjoyable way to travel throughout the Western Hemisphere in business jet aircraft. We have one jet aircraft now, and are planning on growing to more! As I said, we will be flying all over the continent, but our heart and soul is based in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. We pride ourselves in being able to fly our customers safely into hard to access mountain airports.
Our vision for the future is a company that provides an exquisite product and service for our clients, a feeling of safety, and the knowledge that nowhere is out of reach!
With that in mind, we are looking for a hybrid of concepts. We want to be associated with the mountains, the western United States, and Colorado. However, we would like the logo to express a much farther reach across the region and the country!
We feel our target audience should not be limited to the typical demographic who fly private jets. However, bearing that in mind, we would be remiss to not direct this at our traditional customer base. We want to expand the reach of our advertising. The audience we would like to appeal to is:
- Companies with business in remote areas, hard to reach places.
- Companies with business at many places, who are seeking to maximize their usage of time, by avoiding busy airports, security checks, delays, etc.
- People / companies whose travel is confidential
- Families that want to maximize their vacation enjoyment by traveling in a safe, no hassle environment.
- Families/ People who are vacationing in hard to reach places, not served by regular airlines.
The sky's the Limit!!
We chose the name "Alpine Advantage Aviation" because we wanted to play up:
We are open to anything and everything! Perhaps a blend of a type set logo along with an iconic would be awesome! But, if it is one or the other, we think an iconic logo would work best, as ultimately we would like this to go on the tail of a jet!
Please feel free to share any and all with us!! Thanks in advance! I've attached a few photos of our jet, as well as some mountain landscapes to get the mood right...

I needed a little true-blue autumn flavor in my house the other day, so I decided to make these:
They were the perfect:
A great way to start the day.
Invite fall to breakfast and make some of these for your family!
Gingerbread Waffles
3 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs
2/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1 1/4 cups milk
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter, plus some to butter the iron
whipped cream or fresh fruits
Preheat waffle iron. In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt. In a medium bowl, beat eggs and brown sugar until fluffy, then beat in pumpkin, milk, molasses and melted butter. Stir the wet into dry until just moist. Do not over stir the waffle batter. Brush the iron with a little melted butter and cook 4 waffles, 4 sections each. Serve with toppings of choice.
I'm always a sucker for a cheap craft. (I've got to keep those little hands busy!) The boys and I thought that this was right up our alley!
First, we collected some rocks. Who doesn't have extra rocks? Then we:
After that, we drew faces on them with a black marker and crafted stems with some green ric rac (but paper, ribbon, or even green paint would do.)
I thought they looked so cute all lined up together. These would be great lining a walkway or in a garden.
One thing is for sure, they made us get ready for one of our favorite holidays!
Only 48 more days!

Sarah Macht
Washington College science majors know you don't have to attend a prestigious research university to participate in groundbreaking studies.
For her senior thesis, Sarah Macht '10 completed an analysis of the drug fluoxetine, the active ingredient in Prozac. A double-major in chemistry and psychology, Sarah took a two-pronged approach to her research.
"For psychology, we looked at the effects of fluoxetine on behavior, and for chemistry, we analyzed and determined the structure of fluoxetine in biological specimens. It's two things I'm really interested in and seeing how they work hand in hand was really cool," Sarah says.
It was also cool because the subjects of the study were tilapia that biology professor Martin Connaughton treated with Prozac.
Sarah had the chance to catch some fish of her own while on a three-week long sea kayaking expedition in Baja during the winter break of her senior year. A member of the College's Cater Society of Junior Fellows, Sarah received a grant to fund the trip, offered by the National Outdoor Leadership School.
"The whole focus is on leadership, and we also learned navigation and technical skills, like how to spearfish," Sarah says. "I was really nervous going into it, but I hoped it would really open my eyes."
The trip was a journey outside of Sarah's comfort zone, but that's the type of experience she valued most during her college years.
"You need to be open to growing and experiencing new things," she says. "I look at how I was as a freshman and how I am now, and I'm a completely different person in a lot of ways."
One constant in Sarah's life during her four years in college was her involvement with the Best Buddies program, which promotes friendship and integration with people with intellectual disabilities.
"Without a doubt, it's been the most rewarding thing I've done. I had the same buddy for four years, and we grew really close. The club sponsors dances, movie nights, and bowling, and we also hung out outside of organized events. I got a lot of joy from it, and I know it brought them a lot of joy as well," Sarah says.
Sarah's volunteer work continued to be a large part of her life after graduation. After studying endlessly for the MCATs and waiting to apply to medical school, she spent several days a week volunteering at a local nursing home.
"I absolutely love it," she says.
Music is one of Sarah's other passions. A member of the Musician's Union, Sarah plays acoustic guitar and harmonica and performed at a number of Open Mic nights on campus and in the community.
"One of my favorite things to do was sit on the green and just play on a nice afternoon when I didn't have classes. It's really relaxing and helped me unwind," she says.
Sarah needed all the R&R she could get after her grueling preparation for the MCATs, and while waiting for her scores, she painted, wrote new music, restored an old racing bike and took up piano again.
Though she's still trying to determine whether to pursue neurology or geriatrics, Sarah is - for the most part - set on a career in medicine, especially after her experiences during a summer internship with the National Institute of Heatlth.
"One of Dr. Kerchner's former students needed an intern for a clinical research study on acupuncture. It was a lot of data extrapolation, but it showed me what I do and don't like about the medical field, and it solidified my decision to become a doctor," says Sarah.
Still, she admits her future plans are still up in the air.
"I've heard it changes a lot during med school, but I'm excited to explore all of the options. I miss the togetherness and the sense of community at WAC, but I'm really excited for what's to come," Sarah says.

Senior Capstone Experience
The Characterization and Determination of Fluoxetine in Biological Specimens
Advisors: Dr. Rick Locker (chemistry) and Dr. Mike Kerchner (psychology)
The neurotransmitter serotonin, also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), has been implicated in effecting a number of behavioral and psychological processes that occur in humans. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, are a class of pharmaceutical drugs that produce therapeutic effects by increasing the transmission of 5-HT. These serotonin reuptake inhibitors are deemed "selective" because of their ability to act on the different 5-HT receptor sites of a neuron. Specifically, SSRIs bind to serotonin transporters to block the reuptake of serotonin in a synapse. Fluoxetine, marketed as Prozac® and Sarafem™, is an SSRI that has been approved by the food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), dysthymia, bulimia nervosa, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and panic disorder (2009). Specifically, we will be reviewing the effects of fluoxetine on aggressive behavior in the species Oreochromis niloticus, more commonly known as tilapia.
Fluoxetine is an SSRI that blocks 5-HT receptors as opposed to other neurotransmitter receptor sites. The high selectivity of fluoxetine has been attributed to its trifluoromethyl group, which increases both its potency and selectivity. Fluoxetine is a 50/50 racemic drug of both R- and S- enantiomers. It is the goal of this research to characterize fluoxetine, and its metabolite norfluoxetine using proton and fluorine nuclear magnetic resonance as well as ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy. Initially, standard samples of the drug will be analyzed. Extraction will be used to isolate the free base form of the drug, and to compare the spectra of the free base with that of the ionized drug form. Following this initial analysis, biological samples of tilapia blood serum will be spiked with fluoxetine, in vitro, and analyzed through the use of ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), fluorine nuclear magnetic resonance (19F NMR), and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NRM). A calibration curve will be determined, and used as a basis of comparison for in vivo samples of blood serum of tilapia treated with fluoxetine.

Hometown and high school? Hagerstown, MD; North Hagerstown High School.
Favorite class? Psychopharmacology with Dr. Kerchner. It is the perfect integration of two fields I am interested in, psychology and chemistry! You also learn the biological mechanisms responsible for how we think and behave…pretty interesting stuff.
Recommended professor? Dr. Donald McColl for Art History. His passion and enthusiasm is contagious!
Most memorable experience as a first-year student? One night after a hard rain my friends and I decided we were going to go "mud sliding" on the campus green. Covered in trash bags and soap we slid all over the place… and then made sure to use the showers off of our floor.
If you could be a condiment, which one would you be and why? Nutella, because it can make an experience a little sweeter AND it's a little nutty.
If you had a superpower, what would it be and why? Flying would be really liberating.

What are Air Toxics?
Air toxics, also known as hazardous air pollutants, are pollutants that are known or suspected to cause cancer or other serious health effects. Benzene, arsenic, and mercury are examples of air toxics.
Each state is responsible for developing and implementing plans to help reduce national air-toxics emissions. In Texas, the TCEQ is responsible. Criteria pollutants such as ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, and lead are regulated under other federal standards.
Why monitor for Air Toxics?
Data from monitoring air toxics can be used for finding pollution sources, evaluating air-permit applications, and identifying potential health concerns.
The TCEQ toxicology staff uses ambient air monitoring to assess the potential for measured concentrations of air toxics to impair health and cause odors.
Where do we Monitor?
The TCEQ measures air toxics concentrations at approximately 102 monitoring sites across Texas, mostly in urban and industrial areas. The 1990 Clean Air Act as subsequently amended identifies 187 toxics; the TCEQ analyzes for 146 of those.
A summary of monitoring sites and the parameters monitored at each site can be obtained by clicking on a region below.
What do we compare monitored data to?
For evaluation of ambient air monitoring results, acute and chronic inhalation air monitoring comparison values (AMCVs) are used to assess the potential for exposure to the measured concentrations to impair human health.
To assess potential welfare effects for monitoring results, the TCEQ toxicology staff uses odor- and vegetation-based AMCVs.
Types of Air Toxics monitoring networks
Community Air Toxics Monitoring Network
Canister samples collected throughout the state's urban and industrial areas are collected every 6th day and analyzed using a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer.
Automated Gas Chromatograph Network
Automated Gas Chromatography samplers (AutoGCs) located throughout the greater Houston, Dallas, El Paso, Corpus Christi, and Odessa areas monitor for VOCs. One 40-minute sample is collected each hour and analyzed automatically on-site.
Carbonyl samples from the Houston, Dallas-Ft. Worth, and El Paso areas are collected every 6th day and analyzed for carbonyl compounds using high-performance liquid chromatography.
Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons
As part of an U.S. Environmental Protection Agency border grant, the TCEQ monitors polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations in air at sites along the Texas-Mexico border. Samples are collected every 6th day and analyzed for PAH compounds using a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer.
TSP, PM10 and PM2.5 filter samplers monitor for air toxics-metals. Twenty-four-hour samples are collected every sixth or third day.

It has been a long journey working to transform the residential lighting market. Efficient residential lighting, one of the longest standing efficiency program measures, saw several groundshifting market developments in the past year. Most notably, the introduction of lower-lifetime LEDs disrupted the market with their significantly lower price points; smart lighting products coming to market; and changing federal standards and specifications. Looking forward, there are significant quantities of savings that remain in the residential lighting market.
The Path Forward
In conjunction with the 2015-2016 RLS Update, NEEP leads a leadership advisory committee that brings together leaders from efficiency programs and manufacturers to focus on residential lighting. There are several market opportunities that programs can take advantage of, such as LED popularity; smart lighting; ENERGY STAR Luminaire Specification; improved linear fluorescent efficiency; and advancement of national efforts, in which they can leverage and transform the market. NEEP found that through a Market Adoption Model analysis, in aggregate, the regional gross annual savings potential was in the 2-3 TWh range.
NEEP is confident that the region can achieve market transformation. The regional goal NEEP has put forward is to reach a socket saturation of 80-90 percent efficient quality lighting by 2022. Over the course of the next 5 years, that could add up to over 15 TWh of total savings for the region in the timeframe. Market transformation, as established in our goal, is achievable by following the eight recommended strategies:
1. Continued program administrator support for residential lighting
2. Program administrator transition portfolios in the short and medium term
3. Program administrators target LEDs in hard-to-reach markets
4. Program administrators consider including smart lighting in portfolios
5. Program administrators explore opportunities in residential linear products
6. Regional collaboration on residential lighting research
7. Regional coordination on data collection and sharing
8. Regional discussions on savings calculation inputs to ensure appropriate attribution
NEEP continues to see cost-effective savings from residential lighting products. The residential lighting market is far from transformed, and there is a lot of work to do to ensure customers are selecting the most efficient lighting products over their inefficient counterparts. NEEP's role in the regional market transformation of efficient residential lighting will be to chart progress towards the goal as well as to report on market developments as they come.

Copyright: An Easy Excuse For Making Something Disappear
from the but-not-a-believable-one dept
Well, here's an interesting twist on a common story. We've pointed to lots of examples of companies and public figures using questionable copyright claims to take down content that was critical of them. Now, we've got what appears to be a newspaper hiding behind bogus copyright concerns as an excuse for taking down content that was critical of one of their advertisers. A press release from the Canadian Pirate Party points us to the story of a political cartoonist for the Vancouver Province, who claims a parody video he made criticizing an oil company was taken down from the newspaper's website after the company threatened to pull all its advertising from the newspaper's parent chain.
Dan Murphy, of the Vancouver Province, created an animated parody targeting Enbridge Inc. and the potential environmental impact of its proposed multi-billion-dollar Northern Gateway pipeline proposal that would cross B.C. and Alberta.
The original Enbridge video was designed to promote its controversial pipeline project.
Murphy's animation mocks Enbridge, splashing oily goo on the screen while questioning the oil giant's environmental record.
Murphy told CBC News that he was told Enbridge was outraged that its ad was mocked and put heavy pressure on Postmedia News.
The parody was taken down and Murphy says he was given a blunt message by Vancouver Province editor Wayne Moriarity.
"'If it doesn't come down, Enbridge says they're pulling a million dollars worth of advertising from Postmedia, and if it doesn't come down, I, Wayne Moriarty, I'm going to lose my job,'" Murphy said Moriarity told him.
The editor, however, told a different story, offering vague "copyright issues" as the reason for the takedown. Meanwhile, the advertiser denied almost everything:
Contacted by CBC News, Moriarty would only say copyright issues are involved. Other managers at Postmedia did not return CBC's phone calls.
Enbridge has released a statement saying it did not threaten to pull its ads and that it did not ask for the video to be removed.
An Enbridge spokesman did say a conversation took place with Postmedia, but he wouldn't divulge any details about who contacted the newspaper company or what was said other than post media [sic] had apologized for the spoof.
Though it's currently a his-word-against-theirs situation, it's pretty hard to take the statements from the editor and the advertiser at face value. As the cartoonist mentions, he is putting his career on the line to speak out about this, and knows he may end up in hot water with Postmedia—and he has made specific statements about what his editor said to him. If it's a publicity stunt, it's a pretty damn stupid one. Meanwhile, the "copyright" claims are flimsy—especially considering Enbridge says nothing about copyright in their statement. This is most likely just another example of copyright being used as a convenient way to hide real motivations.
Now, it's important to note that this is not an issue of censorship. The newspaper is free to publish and unpublish whatever it wants, and the editor doesn't have to tell anybody why—and, of course, it's up to the reader to look at their decisions and stated reasons then decide whether it's a newspaper they want to pay attention to or trust. The relationship between newspapers and advertisers has long been uneasy, and this isn't the first time an editor has been forced to make a tough choice. Of course, this also isn't really a first for this newspaper chain and its relationship with oil companies: back when it was a part of Canwest (the publishing division of which later spun off into what is now Postmedia), it sparked complaints to advertising standards regulators over a series of paid advertorials about Canada's tar sands that were misleadingly labelled as "Special Information Features".
Maintaining integrity as an advertiser-supported news source is a serious challenge that newspapers have struggled with for decades, and once an editor is stuck in one of these conflicts, there's often no easy way out—except, perhaps, saying something about copyright and hoping that does the trick.

Sony Unveils New HXR-NX5U Solid State Camcorders
(Park Ridge, New Jersey--January 12, 2010) Sony Electronics is expanding its line of solid state camcorders, introducing its first professional camcorder that implements the AVCHD format, the HXR-NX5U.
The professional HXR-NX5U model is part of Sony's NXCAM family of video products for professionals. It features Sony's Exmor™ CMOS sensor with ClearVid™ array, to deliver full high-definition resolution and low light sensitivity with low noise. The camcorder will record AVCHD up to 24Mbps, delivering 1920x1080 high definition images with both interlace and progressive modes along with native 1080/24P, 720/60p and MPEG-2 standard definition recording.
Sony has also introduced a "prosumer" camcorder, the HDR-AX2000 Handycam® camcorder. However, there are key distinctions between each model. Only the professional NX5U camcorder includes both HD-SDI and HDMI™ outputs, as well as two-channel linear PCM audio capabilities. Other unique features for the professional NX5U camcorder include 720/60P recording, built-in GPS function, SMPTE Time Code I/O and an upgrade option for 60i/50i switchable.
AVCHD technology has been widely adopted in Sony's consumer camcorder line. In the professional market, Sony has already introduced one AVCHD-based model: the compact point-of-view (POV) camera and solid-state recorder combination, model HXR-MC1.
According to Sony, AVCHD is a highly efficient long-GOP codec based on MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 Long-GOP image compression, a member of the MPEG family of codecs. This approach is consistent with Sony's current line-up of MPEG professional camcorders, including the HDV™, XDCAM® HD optical and XDCAM EX™ series.
The new NXCAM model also shares the 20x optical zoom G lens used in Sony's HVR-Z5U professional camcorder. The camcorder uses two types of consumer media along with an optional HXR-FMU128 128GB Flash Memory Unit for more than 11 hours of recording time at 24 Mbps. The HXR-FMU128 unit can be easily removed and simply powered through a computer's USB connection, to make file downloading or editing easier and faster. Besides the Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media, users are also able to record HD content on class 4 or higher SDHC cards. Sony is also expanding its industry leading line of consumer media with the addition of five new SD/SDHC memory cards for digital imaging products, including camcorders.
The new HXR-NX5U will be available this month, at a suggested list price of $4,950, which is the same as Sony's highly successful HVR-Z5U. The HXR-FMU128 unit will also be available this month, at a suggested list price of $800. It can only be used with the professional model HXR-NX5U, not with the HDR-AX2000.

Linux Wi-Fi Manager Roundup
Many Linux Wi-Fi Managers
We went on a mission to find, experiment with, and examine Linux programs to help manage our Wi-Fi connections. We found many different networking utilities. Most are based around profile-based configuration, where connection details such as encryption keys are saved for reccurring connections. Some even support per-network IP and DNS settings. This is great, for example, if your work network requires a static IP address, while at home your router using its DHCP server; IP address information is saved for each network's profile. In addition to a simple signal indicator for wireless networks, some utilities offer details such as signal and noise level graphs and the displaying of the channels used by the wireless networks.
On our search, here are some of the network connectivity utilities we came across: NetworkManager, Wicd, KWiFiManger, WaveSelect, AP Radar, NetChoose, gWireless. We're going to review Network Manager, Wicd, and KWifiManager.
The first networking utility we'll review is NetworkManager, an interface for both wired and wireless connections, installed by default in Ubuntu. Though NetworkManager lacks advanced functionality, such as per network IP settings and channel info, it includes the basic features.
As Figure 1 shows, a click on the tray icon displays all the detected Wi-Fi networks and shortcuts to perform networking tasks. When you click a wireless network, you're prompted if a encryption key is required and then it connects. A profile is automatically created for the network, including any encryption keys you entered.
You can click on Connect to Other Wireless Network to manually enter a network name (SSID) and the security type, in order to connect to non-broadcast or hidden Wi-Fi networks. Additionally, you can create your own ad-hoc or computer-to-computer network by clicking Create New Wireless Network.
As Figure 2 shows, right-clicking the icon lets you disable/enable the wired and wireless connectivity. Clicking Connection Information shows you the details of the current connection, such as the data rate, IP settings, and the hardware (or MAC) address. To view and/or change the profiles created for networks you've connected to, you can click Edit Wireless Networks.... Shown in Figure 3, for each profile, you can change the security/encryption settings and, for networks with multiple access points (APs), you can add the MAC addresses of all the APs that use the same network name (BSSID).
You'll find NetworkManager provides a simple networking experience when working with simple networks. You may want to look elsewhere if you work on multiple networks that each require advanced settings (such as static IP addresses) or need a tool that provides detailed signal strength and channel information.

Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti has a message for any Ravens fans worried about quarterback Joe Flacco's expiring contract.
Have faith in General Manager Ozzie Newsome.
During an appearance on the NFL Network, Bisciotti made it clear that he had faith in Newsome to work things out so that Flacco remains in Baltimore. While a long-term deal would probably be everyone's preference, Bisciotti said that he trusted Newsome to make the right call for the team.
I read yesterday that Peyton Manning went two years under the franchise tag before they finally got his long-term deal. So that's for Ozzie and his agent to figure out," Bisciotti said. "Joe and I kind of sit on the sideline and we tease about it a little bit. We really don't get that involved in it. I trust Ozzie, it's always been done. They asked me about this with Ray Rice. They asked me about this with Haloti Ngata and on down the line and we've always signed them. So Joe's going to be here. Trust in Ozzie."
If reports that Flacco is looking for "Drew Brees money" prove true, the prospect of using the franchise tag might become more realistic since those negotiations would likely take a while. That might not be ideal for the Ravens in terms of their overall cap picture, but it remains clear Flacco isn't going anywhere.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Risk Management Agency (RMA) said it will offer an organic price election for four crops during the 2011 production year. In conjunction with that decision, RMA released three reports that provide the framework for improvements to crop insurance programs that are available to producers of certified organic crops.
"USDA is working to provide producers of organic crops with improved opportunities and resources," said agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. We are taking aggressive action to improve delivery of our programs, with impressive results for our customers. The release of these reports and RMA's announcement of the price election mark another step in that continuing effort."
RMA is preparing to issue organic price elections for the 2011 crop year for cotton, corn and soybeans, as well as processing tomatoes.
The reports issued by RMA compile research into data that support a price election for organic crops. They also provide a comparative analysis of loss experience for organic crops and conventional crops produced in the same counties during the same crop years. The reports were prepared under the provisions of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (farm bill). In preparing the reports, RMA contracted for research to develop a pricing methodology using available data. RMA will continue to evaluate data available upon which to develop organic price elections for other insured crops.
RMA is also eliminating a current 5 percent surcharge for organic crops insured under 10 crop insurance programs. Affected programs are Figs; Florida Citrus Fruit; Florida Fruit Tree (Pilot); Macadamia Tree; Nursery; Pears; Peppers; Prunes; Texas Citrus Tree; Texas Citrus Fruit. The agency will continue to accumulate data that will allow for more precise rating of other organic crops.
