While it sounds like the plot of something Kurt Vonnegut might write after reading Upton Sinclair and then dropping acid, biologists claim that it's not far fetched to assume that in the future, our meat won't come from animals that we kill; it will be grown in petri dishes in giant labs by mad scientists who drive flying cars.
Using animal stem cells to grow meat will remove direct animal suffering from steak-eating, will allow deep space explorers to access a reliable source of protein, and help alleviate global hunger, say Vladimir Mironov and Nicholas Genovese, two Medical University of South Carolina researchers who are working to develop the technology to grow meat separately from the rest of the animal. Their research has been funded by both NASA and PETA.

Pizza & Beyond: 15 Italian Recipes Everyone Should Know
Between the tomatoes, the basil, and the easy-cooking fresh pasta, Italian cuisine tends to be my go-to inspiration in the summer. Knowing a few basic Italian-inspired (and Italian-American!) recipes can help you throw together fresh, impromptu meals in the summer with a minimum of recipe research and prep. Throw fresh tomatoes on a bed of quick pizza dough and grill; make a last-minute batch of fresh pasta, and toss with basil and ricotta. Read on for 15 classic Italian-inspired recipes we think everyone should know.
• 1 How To Grill Pizza - A grilled pizza is as good as it gets in the summertime. Here are clear instructions for making great pizza on the grill.
• 2 Homemade Thin Crust Pizza - And if you need a dough recipe, here's a good one — it needs almost no rise time. Mix it and use it right away.
Pasta — the base of so many great Italian dishes. Start off with fresh, homemade pasta (it's really not hard) and then toss it with meat, greens, and cheese for your impromptu Italian supper. Extra credit if you use pesto.
• 3 Pasta with Mint Pesto, Peas and Ricotta Salata - A great example of how just a handful of vegetables and cheese transforms pasta into a real meal.
• 4 How To Make Lasagna - Everyone should know how to make lasagna!
• 5 Lighter Stuffed Pasta Shells - Another great way to turn pasta into a meal.
Any one of these sauces will make leftover sausage or a quick bowl of pasta into a great meal.
• 6 Basic Tomato Sauce (with Optional Zing!) - A simple, basic tomato sauce.
• 7 Slow-Cooked Bolognese Sauce - That classic, slow-cooked Italian flavor with a heaping helping of meat. Make in the slow cooker to keep your kitchen cool.
• 8 Uncooked Tomato Sauce - Or go the other direction and make sauce with no cooking at all.
These delicious meatball recipes are also good grilled. Use a grill basket or string them on bamboo skewers.
• 9 Totally Tender Meatballs in Tomato Sauce - Old-fashioned meatballs, tender and tasty.
• 10 Turkey Meatballs over Greens - A healthier, lighter approach to meatballs. Serve over any greens from the garden or your CSA box.
Pasta gets all the starchy glory, but it's not the only carb in the Italian cook's repertoire. Try one of these easy meal bases.
• 11 Easy Ricotta Gnocchi - Tender little dumplings.
• 12 Red Pepper, Sausage, and Chard Risotto - A simple risotto with summer vegetables.
• 13 Homemade Piadinas - Sort of like an Italian burrito!
• 14 How To Make a Quick Bowl of Polenta in the Microwave - Polenta is good for so many things, and it's easy to make in the microwave.
• 15 Eggy, Crispy Polenta with Tomatoes & Mushrooms - An easy dinner, lunch, or even breakfast.
What are your go-to Italian recipes in the summertime?

Suppose one starts with an (infinite) multiset of positive integers $\mathcal{A} = \{a_i\}_{i\geq 0}$ such that:
$1=a_0\leq a_1\leq a_2\leq\ldots$
Can one always find a (necessarily infinite) group $G$ such that the set of degrees of its finite dimensional irreducible complex representations is exactly $\mathcal{A}$?
Clearly the answer to the above question is no for arbitrary $\mathcal{A}$; for example if $a_1 = N>1$ (i.e. the trivial representation is the only 1-dimensional representation of the potential group), then a simple argument involving the decomposition of the tensor square of this $N$-dimensional representation shows that $N\leq a_2\leq \frac{N^2+N}{2}$. Using more general forms of such arguments involving tensor powers of decompositions of $GL_n(\mathbb{C})$-representations, one can find other restrictions ruling out certain potential degree sequences.
$\bf{Question:}$ Given $\mathcal{A}$ such that there are no obstructions arising from tensor power considerations, is it always possible to find/construct a group $G$ whose irreducible degree sequence is exactly $\mathcal{A}$?
I assume that in general this is still a hard question, so I am also interested in partial results. I would also be interested in negative results along the lines "Even though this sequence $\mathcal{A}$ has no obstructions, it still cannot be the degree sequence of any group for some deeper reason."

Salt lake
A salt lake or saline lake is a landlocked body of water that has a concentration of salts (typically sodium chloride) and other dissolved minerals significantly higher than most lakes (often defined as at least three grams of salt per litre). In some cases, salt lakes have a higher concentration of salt than sea water, but such lakes would also be termed hypersaline lakes. An alkalic salt lake that has a high content of carbonate, is sometimes termed a soda lake.
Saline lake classification:[1]
- subsaline 0.5–3 ‰
- hyposaline 3–20 ‰
- mesosaline 20–50 ‰
- hypersaline greater than 50 ‰
Salt lakes form when the water flowing into the lake, containing salt or minerals, cannot leave because the lake is endorheic (terminal). The water then evaporates, leaving behind any dissolved salts and thus increasing its salinity, making a salt lake an excellent place for salt production. High salinity will also lead to a unique halophilic flora and fauna in the lake in question; sometimes, in fact, the result may be an absence or near absence of life near the salt lake.
If the amount of water flowing into a lake is less than the amount evaporated, the lake will eventually disappear and leave a dry lake (also called playa or salt flat).

Suspended Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) Chairman Kong Jaw-sheng (
"I have been suspended and I will leave ... it is impossible for me to return to the post," Kong told reporters yesterday.
"I respect the Cabinet's decision. But I came in [to the position of FSC chairman] with a clean reputation and I hope to leave with one," Kong said.
He repeated these sentiments several times during the press conference, but shied away from giving a date for his resignation.
Stressing that he held himself to high moral standards and had a clear conscience, Kong said: "I am in this situation today because I got in the way of certain interest groups as the head of an independent financial supervisor, whose duties always involve interests worth tens of billions of dollars."
The official, who said he was politically naive, declined to identify the "interest groups" to which he referred.
Looking solemn but tired, Kong made the remarks at a media briefing yesterday after three days of silence following the Cabinet's unexpected decision to suspend him late last Friday.
Kong was questioned for about 13 hours and released on bail of NT$500,000 (US$15,800) last Thursday by the Taipei District Prosecutors Office, which is investigating claims he conducted public business for private gain during his chairmanship at the state-run Taiwan Sugar Corp (Taisugar,
He was accused of awarding Taisugar's upscale cosmetics franchise to a certain company without going through the regulatory procurement process as well as bypassing government procurement requirements and hiring his sister-in-law as a paid consultant to the company's coffee shop business.
Kong was nominated to chair the FSC by the premier at the time, Yu Shyi-kun, and approved by President Chen Shui-bian (
As the position of FSC chairman has a four-year tenure, and the nation's highest financial regulator is supposed to be immune to political influence in order to safeguard the independent status of financial policy-making, some have questioned whether it is possible for Kong to be forcibly removed.
The confrontation between Kong and the Cabinet appeared to escalate yesterday as the government said it stood by its decision on Kong's suspension.
Premier Su Tseng-chang (
The ruling was made with prudence and legitimacy, and would not be changed, Cheng said, adding that the Cabinet expected Kong to make a "wise decision" as soon as possible.
Denying the allegations against him, Kong said it did not make sense that he would give up a well-paid job at an international investment banking business to make relatively small profits through corruption as a public servant on a much smaller salary.
Kong spent 20 years in the financial industry before entering the public sector, serving as a national manager for Credit Suisse First Boston and president of Lehman Brothers Holding Inc's Taiwan unit.
In light of recent developments, legislators are planning to amend regulations and set up a mechanism to dismiss corrupt officials who are in positions that enjoy political immunity.

Let me start off by telling you a little about the Gravity Games—the event involves snowboarding and skiing, and it's a made-for-TV thing, kind of like the X-Games. Without trying to sound cynical, this meant two things to me heading into the weekend: keeping my head down walking up the pipe deck so my eyes didn't get poked out by a ski pole, and boring-ass camera holds during the finals. Did these expectations prove true? Well, yeah, but that's okay. Actually, I kind of enjoyed checking out a different culture—the skier one, that is. In fact, my night was made when some skier chick at the Freeskier Magazine party tried to start a fight with me 'cause I accidentally bumped into her with my backpack (which I was indeed wearing at the party, like the dork that I am).
Well, about the Superpipe finals. I knew the Copper Mountain pipe to be giant and one of the steepest ones out there, so I figured the event'd be pretty RAD—and just like with the other stuff, I was right. The women's contest mighta saw the usual suspects on top, but they were busting out a few brand-new tricks. Gretchen Bleiler stomped a pretty nasty frontside 900—her first landed in competition, apparently. That, of course, was combined with a Crippler and back-to-back 540s (backside first, then frontside) in a run that touched her down a mellow eight points ahead of second place. Yeah, that was that. Behind her in the rankings though was Hannah Teter, who's got a brand new Cab seven now to toss into the mix with her frontside fives and nines. Elena Hight held her own with those two 'cause she's got a 900 in her bag, too, and Kelly Clark rode super well—went huge and whatnot—but couldn't quite nail an entire run at once.
The deal with the men's Superpipe was rookie action. The Finnish threat of Risto Mattila, Antti Autti, and Mikka Hast was in full effect. Antti was cranking precision back-to-back 1080s, and Risto had GIANT 1080s into frontside nines—good to see a new generation of Scandos comin' up. A sixteen-year-old mini-man by the name of Danny Davis exploded onto this scene with giant airs and 1080s, too. And of course, relative unknown Cripsin Lipscomb out of Canada went nuts in the halfpike, throwing not only multiple nines and a frontside 1080 but a backside 1080, too which is a truly difficult maneuver (I've heard, it's not like I've ever tried). No wonder he won.
If you're wondering why dudes like Shaun White and a few others weren't here, I think it had something to do with there being a World Cup event going on at the same time in Lake Placid, New York, and if you want to go to the Olympics next winter, you have to have a top-25 placement in a World Cup. They just threw that extra rule in there, I guess, just to make the whole qualification a little more complicated—as if it wasn't brain surgery already. Oh boy. Can't wait for Torino!

West Chester, Pennsylvania – Cinefy, a revolutionary new special FX studio, was released this for free this week for iOS. Hot on the heels of popular apps like Action Movie FX, Cinefy 1.1.5 allows iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users to create videos with over 100 Hollywood quality special effects.
"We took a look at the competition and tried to figure out where they went wrong." Said Daniel Hellerman, CEO of App Creation Network, and project lead for Cinefy. "Other apps were charging users $1 for just one or two effects, we wanted to change that. So, for the week of Thanksgiving, we are offering users over 100 special effects to use in their videos, completely free. In addition to all the effects, we realized users don't want to be limited to 15 second clips, our editor allows users to create scenes as long as they need them to be. Users can even create layered effects with exported video, allowing for incredible creativity within the app. When users are done creating their movies in Cinefy, they can export them into more robust editors like iMovie, or simply share the videos with their friends to create the perfect Hollywood experience."
Launching worldwide today, Cinefy includes some impressive effects created by Hollywood industry veterans.
"Have your friends be chased by a T-Rex, duck to avoid incoming missile fire from an attack helicopter, run from the Loch Ness monster, even pilot your own starship" says Hellerman. "The possibilities are endless. The ability to construct the movies of your dreams, with a device that fits in the palm of your hands is incredible. Just from our limited release and early beta tests, we received some incredible videos. My jaw dropped at the creativity some of our users showed. One of my favorite parts was seeing users combine effects from our competition alongside Cinefy's effects. The video was astounding, and it was a great example of the flexibility Cinefy provides."

Unfortunately ToyBox's encodes have a problem. Try to open 'em with Quicktime, using the Perian codec (www.perian.org, works fine on every other sub I've ever downloaded), it says "An invalid public movie atom was found in the movie." Open it using mplayer, which is based largely on the ffmpeg code, and it opens... but only the first couple minutes function properly. After that the audio falls behind the video, and any attempt to fast forward/rewind/drag the playhead causes it to reset to the beginnign of the file. Methinks there's a timecode error someplace... mplayer is usually very good at rebuilding files with minor errors (or even emebdded malware).

I will agree with chupacabra here. You must not have the right codecs for media player. Use Media Player Classic that comes with CCCP or VLC and you'll be fine. It will also work fine on WMP if you installed the CCCP correctly.

Is it me or the fact that most of the time what is important in this show is "being worthy" and not love or feelings that matter gets the value down?
I was hoping for a good romance but boy, most episodes just get the romance to a sub-teen rollercoaster of "I'm not worthy", "he will be worthy one day" yadda yadda ... ep 14 where
Spoiler for ep14:
Since when "power" is important in love? this show is a step back in romantic anime. I know this is not serious, but I would rather watch harem where 10 girls like (for no reason, like real love) the lead dumb male instead of this where seams like Mamoru must prove to be worthy so the romance can hit off? I would look at the german guy on ep 13 and say "F-word your powers, we are together because we love each other, bite me looser" xD~
Most anime drag you 24 episodes of a love polygon until the male lead grows balls to confess, this drags 24 episodes so the main characters finally get what love is really about? The comedy and filler episodes were a lot funnier =/ ... 12 episodes for a first kiss? talk about dragging things up >.> (and dismantle that good cute feeling with the german insurrection on the episodes later, a.k.a. kiss means nothing unless you can turn into SUPER-SAYAJIN!)
><; would be so much better if this followed more like a Tsukiyomi ~ moon phase ~ or Narue no Sekai romance line.

Spoiler for Ayako and the German guy:
I wasn't that fond of the ending, but I thought the rest of the anime did a great job on the romance. The fact that Mamoru even figures out why Ayako has to struggle between himself and Johan shows how much deeper the romance in this show is than most other anime in which the characters spend 80% of the time being clueless and stupid. Confession in the first episode and first kiss halfway through the series is pretty damn fast compared to all the shows where the confession comes in the last episode and it probably just leads to hand holding or a hug instead of a kiss.

While this series has not yet been licensed we have received a C&D from Kadokawa Pictures USA, we therefore won't be listing fansubs of this series here on AnimeSuki anymore.
Please note that Kadokawa are acting on the behalf of the Japanese IP owners, Kadokawa Pictures USA themselves do not license such series but act as a master licensor, a middle-man who sells on the license to (typically) American anime companies.

Dear Answer Angel: I need to update my fall-winter wardrobe but have almost no money to spend. So, no big purchases for me this year. I thought maybe a new hat and scarf to dress up my winter coat, but I can't figure out what would freshen a pullover sweater or wool skirt or pants. Any ideas?
— Cas/h/-Strapped but Curious
Dear CSC: A new scarf and hat are good options to freshen up last year's winter coat. But steer clear of matching sets which are a little predictable. I just saw a photo of myself at an event with some friends lined up in our winter wear. Three of us are boring in our basic black coats but a bright raspberry scarf on the fourth friend makes her a total standout. So when you're shopping, think about a color pop instead of a neutral.
For other suggestions that would work on outerwear and on sweaters and jackets indoors, I asked Susan Swimmer, fashion features editor of More magazine. She recommends a grouping of three eclectic costume jewelry brooches (for just a few dollars at Forever 21, forever21.com; Claire's, claires.com; flea markets; and thrift shops). Another idea from Swimmer is a tie-on faux fur collar that works for coats and sweaters. I spotted a great one by Rachel Roy at Macy's, macys.com, on sale for $39. Not a bad price for making something old look new again!
Dear Answer Angel: There's a beautiful black velvet jacket hanging in my closet that I never wear because I decided I don't like the prominent label on the breast pocket. It's stitched tight on four sides so I'm afraid to try and cut the threads. Maybe others think it's high status but I don't like advertising "who" I'm wearing. Any suggestions?
Dear E.P.: I'm totally with you. I really hate being used as a walking billboard for some designer whose clothes and accessories I paid good money for. The designers should be paying us to walk around with their names plastered on our purses, scarves, shirts, jackets and sunglasses! That's why there are no Coach purses or Polo Ralph Lauren shirts at my house. Don't get me started on the crazy process that makes us pay a premium for logo'd merchandise that shouts the designers' names.
But, back to your question: A black permanent Sharpie is what you need. I use mine all the time to obscure smaller labels. In fact I just did precisely that on my black Puma shoes. I also use a Sharpie to cover scuffs on my favorite black pumps and nicks on belts and the like. Also, a seam ripper — they cost only a few dollars at fabric stores — can remove the tiny stitches on many labels although I wouldn't try it on delicate or easily snagged fabrics.
Dear Answer Angel: I fly a lot and think by this point I've seen everything in terms of what people wear on planes (including a guy who went into the bathroom and changed into his pajamas on a long haul flight, then returned to his seat and continued wearing his jammies until close to landing). I realize we're long past the point when flying was an adventure you dressed up for, but these days I'd like to see people just dress, period. Am I just being old-fashioned?
— Anguished Aloft
Dear A.A.: You're not old-fashioned at all. I'd call you civilized. We all know that flying these days is worse than a trip on a packed cross-country bus. People slopping carry-on smelly food all over; no place to put your luggage much less your arms and legs. And then you find yourself sitting almost on top of somebody wearing an outfit that should have never left the house. And, oh my, the body parts revealed when people are stuffing their belongings beneath their seats and in the overheads. My eyes hurt!
You can (and should) be covered and comfortable, travelers. We're all in this together. No pajamas. No midriffs. No plumbers' cracks. No low-cut tops. The only thing you should be showing is some class.
Dear Answer Angel: I'm wearing a simple black dress to an evening event and wonder about hosiery. Should I choose nude, black — or what?
— Judy R.
Dear Judy: Some stylists have a "never nude" policy. I'm not quite so dogmatic, but I do think that black or pearl gray sheer hose is a better choice — especially for evening. And, in my opinion any hosiery looks lousy with open toe or peep toe shoes — even if the hosiery toe is not reinforced. So if you can't go bare-legged, wear closed-toe footwear.
Dear Answer Angel: I'm still not sure whether, at my age (over 50), I should be wearing bell bottom, straight leg or boot cut jeans. Or any jeans at all. I want to be fashionable but not ridiculous. Help!
— J. Lynn
Dear J. Lynn: You bet you can wear jeans. It would be ridiculous not to. I don't understand why anyone would buy jeans that already have holes in them, but that's a particularly bad look for those of us on the other side of 30. Stick with undistressed jeans in a dark wash (and to keep them that way turn them inside out when you wash them in cold water).
All jean cuts, from skinny to bell bottom, are in fashion these days. Some stylish people I know think the boot cut, with its slight flare, is the most flattering for curvy women. I prefer straight legs. Work up your courage, bring along a friend to give you a candid second opinion and then try on 20 or 30 pairs to find out what looks best on you. One more thing: You do not need to spend gobs of money. There are plenty of good looking jeans for under $100. Lee, Levis and Not Your Daughter's Jeans, among others, have flattering styles at a decent price.
Shop, drop, get help: You have problems? Don't we all. But here's the difference: You have an angel (with attitude) on your shoulder. Send your questions — on style, shopping, beauty and makeup to email@example.com.

It's been 12 months since I've driven the Indy circuit, and in that time the car has had new suspension, tyres, brake pads and discs. All of the parts I've replaced are considered upgrades by most in the Elise community - Yokohama Advan Neova LTS in place of Hankook RS2 tyres, Nitron NTS dampers for ancient Bilsteins and Carbon Lorraine RC5+ pads instead of Mintex 1144s - so I arrived at Brands fully expecting the car to feel substantially improved.
Watching last year's in-car videos, my previous best lap time in the Elise was 59 seconds. This was done on a warm summer's evening with a lovely sticky track - pretty much the ideal conditions.
Although much cooler for the follow-up, the track was thankfully dry all evening. Once again I primed the Go-Pro ready to check out the lap times later. Of course, this is a road car, and lap times are essentially irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, but that doesn't make me any less curious to make the comparison.
After a couple of warm-up sessions I found some space and got stuck in. However, my early optimism soon began to fade. The brakes were giving me no confidence whatsoever. They were neither fading nor overheating; the car just wasn't slowing down in a hurry.
Added to that the tyres were giving me less grip than I was anticipating. On the turn-in to Surtees, particularly, the front end just seemed to want to wash.
I was beginning to feel a little like Felipe Massa. All that was missing was Rob Smedley in my ear telling me I still had an inch of throttle travel left.
Sure enough, checking out the video afterwards proved my worst fears; my best lap was just over two seconds slower than last year which is an eternity on a short track like the Indy. And the times weren't erratic either, they were just consistently slow.
Not being a race engineer I'm pretty stumped as to why this is. Making so many changes since the last trip makes it pretty tough to narrow it down to any one culprit. Perhaps it was the track that was lacking grip rather than the car. Maybe it was a combination of several things, or simply the old bits were better than the new parts. Perhaps I've just got slower. As always, answers on a postcard gratefully received!

With speed his calling card, Johnny Forzani realizes his left ankle is an essential part of his tool box.
So the Calgary Stampeders wideout travelled to Vail, Colo. three weeks ago for surgery to repair torn ligaments from a nasty high ankle sprain he suffered last October against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
Dr. Thomas Clanton, of the Steadman Clinic, did the honours.
"They used to use screws in ankles and feet and stuff like that," Forzani says. "This is basically an innovative version of that where they put in these ceramic buttons with ropes that act as ligaments and hold everything tight.
"The surgery went really well . . . These guys did Kobe Bryant's ankle, so you couldn't be in better hands."
Unfortunately for the Stampeders, the ball won't be in Forzani's hands for an undetermined period of time as he recovers from the operation.
The 24-year-old can't put a date on his expected return but does plan on suiting up at some point this season.
"It's pretty sore," he says. "Any time you have something done to your foot or that area, it's your support system, so it's kind of hard to move around.
"But it's getting better each day. So it's just the healing process, now I just have to let time do its thing."
And so the Stamps have yet to hit the field but already have their first major injury to contend with.
"We just hope that he has a speedy recovery," head coach/GM John Hufnagel says. "It's kind of a wait and see.
"After the operation, he has to let it rest and then he starts to rehab. Once he gets back on his feet, then we can determine how much longer."
A certified deep threat, Forzani caught 29 passes last season for 512 yards and three touchdowns. The Dr. E.P. Scarlett High School product is expected, once healthy, to play a bigger role in the offence this season with the departure of Romby Bryant to the Toronto Argonauts.
The Forzani injury opens doors for another Canadian receiver to step up in camp with Anthony Parker, Chris Bauman, Jabari Arthur, Brad Sinopoli, and Yannick Morin-Plante all in the mix.
Regardless of his nationality, Forzani is a starter and a dangerous weapon for Drew Tate, Kevin Glenn or Bo Levi Mitchell.
"It's not a good situation," Forzani says. "Ideally, I would have liked to have had this handled in November, but stuff like this sometimes just happens.
"It is what it is. I hate to revert back to that cliché, but it is what it is. I just have to get better now. Do the rehab. Stay off it. Work out the body like I always do. Maintain great upper body strength. Catch a lot of balls in practice."
In spite of his wonky ankle, Forzani plans to keep working on his hands.
"I remember Mo Price when he broke his foot last year," he says. "One thing I admired is that he was always out there sitting in the chair catching balls and there's other things that you can do to improve even though you can't run.
"You can stay locked in and understand what's going on and so then when the time is ready to get back in the game, you're right where you left off."
Short yardage . . . Good news for Stamps fans — renovations are underway at McMahon Stadium. "We've covered up half the aluminum seats with customized inserts, so that's going to look a lot better and feel a lot better for the fans who are sitting there in those sections," said team president Gordon Norrie. "I've commissioned drawings, at this point, I am hopeful to have something in the next couple weeks in terms of additional concessions and probably additional VIP or premium season ticket holder viewing stations." . . . The Stamps have signed three imports in advance of training camp: receiver Donavon Kemp, defensive lineman Aronde Stanton and defensive back Jerett Sanderson.


text: Land Sale of the Week: $12,500/acre in Central Illinois June 19, 2014 11:00 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Mike Walsten Pro Farmer LandOwner Editor Email Twitter Mike Walsten A large tract of land located just west of Downs, Ill., sold for $12,500 an acre last week, indicating there is solid investor demand for the right kind of properties. The farm consisted of 293 acres in total, which is somewhat of a large offering considering the size of the potential check needed to purchase the ground. It was basically all tillable. It was offered in four tracts ranging in size from 48 acres to 85 acres. The soil Productivity Indexes (PIs) on each of the four tracts ranged from 137.6 to 142.5 using the state's Bulletin 811 measure with 147 the maximum rating. The ground sold in two packages. The first was 245 acres consisting of three tracts of 79 acres, 81 acres and 85 acres. These had PIs of 137.6, 140.6 and 142.5, respectively and an average PI of 140.3. More importantly, they were contiguous, making for one solid rectangular block of all tillable easy-to-farm land. An cash investor bought the ground. The fourth tract consisting of 48 acres across the road carried a PI of 138.5. A cash investor also purchased this piece for $10,800 an acre. The smaller size of the tract along with the lower PI rating in a county noted for high PI ratings may have contributed to the lower selling price. In addition, all four tracts were sold subject to a cash-share lease that expires the end of February 2015. Kevin Meiss of Soy Capital Ag Services, Bloomington, Ill., handled the auction.

Freedoms of assembly and expression in Uganda have come under attack in 2010, the pressure intensifying in advance of presidential and parliamentary elections scheduled for February 2011. Journalists critical of the government face intimidation and sometimes criminal charges from state agents and members of the ruling party. Security and quasi-military organizations continue to illegally detain and torture suspects, in some instances leading to death. Impunity for human rights abuses persists. For example, Uganda failed to carry out investigations or prosecutions for the deaths of at least 40 people killed, some by military police, in riots in September 2009.
On July 11, 2010, two bomb blasts in Kampala, the capital, killed 76 people who had gathered to watch the football World Cup final. The Somali armed Islamist group al-Shabaab claimed responsibility and threatened further attacks if Uganda continued to supply troops to the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM). Uganda arrested scores of suspects, charged 36 with terrorism and eventually committed 17 for trial. The judiciary issued an injunction barring the press from covering the investigations and, on July 28, police broke up an opposition demonstration, stating that public gatherings were banned until the perpetrators of the bombings were arrested.
Some fear of violence around the 2011 elections was furthered by irregularities surrounding the ruling National Resistance Movement primaries in August 2010. Roughly 350 petitions were filed with the party's electoral commission, alleging beatings, intimidation, and bribery. Investigations are ongoing at this writing.
Freedoms of Assembly and Expression
Opposition demonstrations protesting the composition of the electoral commission were met with police brutality. For example, in January 33 women from an opposition coalition were charged with illegal assembly, and in June police severely beat these women as they exited a court appearance causing four to be hospitalized.
Ugandan officials have repeatedly failed to hold state actors involved in election-related violence accountable. That continued in 2010, for example in March at the Rukiga by-election, where police detained six opposition supporters and beat others who attempted to bring food to detainees leaving one person in a coma. Police were not charged with any crime.
In June an ad hoc group known as the kiboko (stick) squad assaulted Forum for Democratic Change presidential candidate Kizza Besigye and other opposition leaders at a rally in Kampala. The opposition accused the state of supporting and mobilizing the squad. Police denied the allegations, but failed on several occasions to arrest squad members. In July police in 13 towns arrested at least 80 people during a nationwide demonstration against the electoral commission. In Mbale, eastern Uganda, police used their guns to strike unarmed opposition demonstrators.
The Ugandan government uses media and penal laws to prosecute journalists, restrict who can lawfully work as a journalist, and revoke broadcasting licenses without due process. Journalists face harassment and threats, especially outside the capital. After being forced off air by security agents during the September 2009 riots, CBS Radio was permitted to operate again in October 2010. The government never provided evidence in court of any wrongdoing.
In August the constitutional court ruled, after five years, that the crime of sedition is unconstitutional. The court upheld the constitutionality of the crime of "promoting sectarianism," which prohibits any act promoting "feelings of ill will or hostility" on account of religion, tribe, ethnicity, or regional origin. At least four journalists and some opposition politicians who criticized alleged government favoritism of some ethnicities over others currently face this charge, which has effectively silenced debate.
At this writing, the government is considering draft amendments to the media law, which would further imperil freedom of expression.
Extrajudicial Killings, Torture, and Illegal Detention
As the Ugandan People's Defence Force (UPDF) continued a disarmament exercise in the northeast region of Karamoja, soldiers have killed civilians with impunity. The Uganda Human Rights Commission stated that soldiers killed civilians, including children and the elderly, in Kotido district, and two Karamoja parliamentarians accused the army of killing between 48 and 55 civilians between April and August. UPDF officials acknowledged that soldiers killed 10 Karamojong, four of them children, during crossfire on April 24 in Kotido, but said that no soldiers would be punished.
The Rapid Response Unit (RRU), formerly known as Operation Wembley and the Violent Crimes Crack Unit, a section of the police created to combat armed crime, continues to detain people without charge, well beyond the constitutionally mandated 48 hours. At least two individuals died this year as a result of torture in RRU custody. Those arrested by the RRU await trial before military courts for long periods of time. The slowness of the military courts has resulted in instances of defendants serving longer periods on remand than would result from the maximum sentence for their charges.
The RRU in September arrested Kenyan human rights activist Al-Amin Kimathi, who had criticized the handover of Kenyan suspects in the July bombings to the Ugandan authorities without due process. Kimathi was detained for six days without charge, denied access to a lawyer, and eventually charged with terrorism in the July bombing. At this writing, he is awaiting trial with 16 other suspects. Human Rights Watch was denied access to all the detainees on this file.
Bills Violating International Human Rights Law
Indicating a troubling authoritarian trend as elections loom, Parliament and the Cabinet drafted and debated a raft of repressive legislation.
The draft Public Order Management Bill would grant the inspector general of police and the minister of internal affairs wide discretionary powers over the management of all public meetings. The draft bill imposes extensive obligations on meeting organizers, which violates rights to freedom of assembly and speech. The bill would also allow state actors to regulate the conduct and content of discussions. The Constitutional Court has already deemed some of these provisions unconstitutional in previous cases.
The draft Press and Journalist Amendment Bill requires print media to be annually registered and licensed by government regulatory bodies. It empowers the Media Council to deny licenses based on its assessment of the newspaper's "values" and revoke them at will.
Homosexual conduct is already criminalized in Uganda, a violation of international standards, but the proposed 2009 Anti-Homosexuality Bill would go further, punishing homosexuality with up to life imprisonment, and "serial" homosexuality with the death penalty. The bill, still pending at this writing, would also punish failure to report acts of homosexuality and prohibit the "promotion" of homosexuality through advocacy on sexual minority rights, threatening work of human rights groups. In early October 2010 a new newspaper, Rolling Stone, published photographs, names, and locations of some Ugandan lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights activists and individuals under a headline that included the phrase "Hang Them." Some have since gone into hiding. The government has taken no action to protect them. The High Court issued a temporary injunction barring further publication of such articles, though Rolling Stone went on to allege that sexual minorities supported the July bombings.
The draft HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control Act criminalizes intentional or attempted transmission of HIV, an approach discredited by international principles. Contravening international standards of voluntary counseling and testing the bill also makes testing mandatory for pregnant women, their partners, and other specified groups. The bill allows medical practitioners to disclose HIV status without the patient's consent potentially exposing women and girls to domestic violence.
Lord's Resistance Army
While relative calm continued to prevail in northern Uganda, the Ugandan armed rebel group the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) continued killings and abductions across Central African Republic, southern Sudan and northern Democratic Republic of Congo (see chapter on the DRC).
Warrants issued by the International Criminal Court for LRA leaders in 2005 remain outstanding. President Museveni reportedly signed a bill domesticating the Rome Statute in May prior to the ICC Review Conference in Kampala. The newly created War Crimes Division of the Ugandan High Court is expected to begin its first trial in 2011 of LRA fighter Thomas Kwoyelo, charged with willful killing, taking hostages, and extensive destruction of property. Kwoyelo has applied for amnesty.
Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons
After two decades of conflict in Uganda's northern region, internally displaced persons (IDPs) have largely moved out of the camps. For persons with disabilities there are significant hurdles to returning home. Research by Human Rights Watch found that women with disabilities experience stigma and isolation, gender-based violence, and obstacles in accessing health care and justice.
The government, cooperating with Rwandan authorities, forcibly repatriated more than 1,700 Rwandan refugees and asylum seekers from southwestern Uganda in July. Ugandan officials reportedly deceived the residents of Kyaka and Nakivale camps into gathering around trucks by announcing a food distribution and information on asylum appeals. Police and camp commanders then forced the residents onto the trucks at gunpoint. In the ensuing panic 25 people were injured and at least two died.
Key International Actors
Uganda's Joint Budget Support partners-the European Commission, the World Bank, the United Kingdom, Germany, Demark, Belgium, Ireland, Norway, the Netherlands, Austria, and Sweden-reduced their US$360 million contribution to Uganda's budget by 10 percent due to concerns about unaddressed corruption.
A range of international actors, including United States President Barack Obama, actively condemned the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, which appeared to have contributed to retarding the bill's progress in Parliament. Other key human rights issues, particularly accountability for extrajudicial killings and torture by state agents, were not raised with similar zeal.
The US and the UK, among other donors, put significant effort into enhancing the election process in advance of 2011, including training for police in public order management and support to reduce legal and regulatory restrictions on freedom of expression. Some raised concerns about the independence of the electoral commission, but the government made no concessions.
The US continues to provide considerable logistical support and training to the Ugandan army, both in counterterrorism efforts and for the ongoing UPDF-led operations against the LRA. The FBI provided substantial resources to investigate the July 11 bombings, but denied reports that its agents were present during interrogations of suspects.

PORTLAND, Maine — Former U.S. President Bill Clinton will come to Maine to campaign for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mike Michaud next week, Michaud's campaign announced Tuesday morning.
Clinton will attend an evening rally for Michaud and the state Democratic party at Portland's waterfront Ocean Gateway facility Tuesday, Sept. 2.
"[Clinton] will showcase why Michaud is the best candidate to lead Maine and bring Democrats, Republicans and independents together to strengthen Maine's economy and create jobs," an announcement by the Michaud campaign stated Tuesday morning.
Michaud is locked in a tough, three-way battle for the Blaine House against incumbent Republican Gov. Paul LePage and independent Eliot Cutler, whose campaigns brushed off the news as a rehash of 2010, when visits to Maine by Clinton failed to propel Democratic gubernatorial candidate Libby Mitchell to victory.
Clinton's visit comes at a time when most polls show Michaud in a virtual dead heat with LePage. Cutler, who finished a close second to LePage in 2010, trails Michaud and LePage by wide margins in public polling.
LePage has benefited from two campaign visits by high-profile Republican Gov. Chris Christie, from New Jersey, already this summer, as the race has ramped up in intensity.
Christie is seen as a potential GOP presidential nominee in 2016, while Clinton's wife, former U.S. Sen. and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, is considered a possible Democratic White House candidate.
LePage campaign spokesman Alex Willette said Michaud's campaign — like Mitchell's four years ago — requires a boost from a popular national figure because the Democratic candidate is failing to inspire or win over Maine voters.
"Congressman Michaud's career as a go-along to get-along politician requires presidential star power to get the attention of the Maine people, unlike Gov. LePage, who has a proven record of reforming government and getting Mainers back to work," said Willette in a written statement.
Cutler last week received the endorsement of independent U.S. Sen. Angus King, the popular former Maine governor. In a written statement Tuesday, Cutler campaign spokeswoman Crystal Canney touted the King endorsement while downplaying the importance of political endorsements.
"Clinton campaigned in Maine twice in 2010 for Libby Mitchell with little impact; she finished third," Canney wrote. "Eliot is not relying on out-of-state organizations or politicians. His campaign is proud to have the endorsement of Sen. Angus King, who was the most successful Maine governor in the last 40 years."
Michaud's campaign recently was forced to reschedule a campaign rally with Cecile Richards, the president of the national Planned Parenthood Action Fund, from Wednesday to a later date in the fall yet to be announced.
Clinton, who remained popular in the polls during his two terms in the White House despite allegations of several romantic affairs and an impeachment by Congress for lying under oath about one of them, has become a prolific and high-profile campaigner.
Clinton came to Southern Maine Community College and the Lewiston Armory in separate visits in 2010 to raise support for Mitchell, who ultimately finished third behind LePage and Cutler in a five-person race.
Maine Republican Party spokesman David Sorensen in a written statement called Michaud's campaign "Libby Mitchell 2.0 where the Democratic nominee is recycling the same old ideas that put Maine's economy in the doldrums throughout 40 years of near one-party rule and failing to inspire Mainers with a fresh and innovative vision for Maine's future."
But there's no question Clinton's visit is exciting some voters. By noon Tuesday, roughly three hours after the news of Clinton's visit was first announced, the Michaud campaign said the former president's appearance was booked to capacity, with more than 750 online RSVPs.
"I've always admired President Clinton for his ability to work across the aisle to get things done, which is something we've been missing here in Maine under Gov. LePage," Michaud said in a written statement. "Based on the reaction our invitation has received, it's clear voters in Maine are extremely excited about this race and ready for a change."
BDN State House bureau chief Christopher Cousins contributed to this story.

By the way these services I disabled are from a Windows XP operating system.
This will free up some of your resources and hopefully speed your bootup as well.
Hope it helps someone.
Background Intelligence Transfer Service - I'm pretty sure this is used by Windows Update only.
IPSEC - I don't know what this is, so if someone can tell me what it actually does.
Telnet - allows a remote user to log on to the computer.
Smart Card - as the name suggests it looks after the smart card readouts.
Remote Registry - just like telnet, it allows a remote user to edit registry settings.
Alerter - it sends messages to users who are logged on to the server computer.
If anyone knows any other services you can turn off in Windows XP please add on.

Dartmouth College
News & Events
The Frank J. Guarini Institute for International Education
~ Home of Dartmouth College's Academic Off-Campus Programs ~
Consistently, over 55 percent of Dartmouth undergraduate students participate on one or more academic off-campus programs before they graduate. Students returning to campus after participating in a program often speak of experiences that were academically and culturally rich as well as life changing.
A distinguishing feature of Dartmouth's program model is strong involvement by departments and interested faculty, which leads to the development of meaningful relationships between undergraduate students and faculty directors/mentors, and it ensures that off-campus program experiences are tightly integrated into the on-campus curriculum.
Dartmouth offers a variety of opportunities for undergraduate students to study off-campus and earn credit toward their degree. The four main categories of opportunities for off-campus study are Dartmouth Language Study Abroad (LSA and LSA+), Dartmouth Foreign Study Programs (FSP), Dartmouth Exchange Programs, and Transfer Credit from another four-year, degree-granting, academic institution unaffiliated with Dartmouth College.
We encourage you to explore our website to learn more about programs offered by Dartmouth College, to become familiar with program requirements, and if you are currently enrolled as an undergraduate student at Dartmouth, to apply for programs.

If you are starting a kitchen renovation, now is a great time to create exactly what you want. With the help of a kitchen designer, even a small space can have spacious storage and a nice flow. For small spaces, a galley layout is a great option. Since horizontal space is limited, think vertical; stack counters and shelves high up on the walls, and try to find innovative storage containers and double-duty pieces. For larger layouts, try an L-shaped or U-shaped kitchen with a large center island or peninsula. It provides plenty of cabinet and countertop space, and you can add a bar-height counter to the island for an instant eat-in space. In the end, it is important to think about what your family uses the room for and then cater to those needs when you start implementing your kitchen remodeling ideas.
Although itis not essential, you can bring continuity to your home by designing the interior in the same theme as its exterior architectural style. Use the home and kitchen styles guide to identify the architectural style that most closely resembles that of your own home. Under each category, you will find a description of the style general characteristics and recommendations for what kinds of kitchen cabinets, countertops, flooring, and architectural details would best complement it.

Types of health care providers
This article describes health care providers involved in primary care, nursing care, and specialty care. This is just one way of organizing the many types of health care providers.
See the following articles for detailed information on specific types of health care providers:
Nurse practitioners Physician assistant profession
Alternative Names
Physicians; Nurses; Health care providers; Doctors; Pharmacists
A primary care provider (PCP) is a person you may see first for checkups and health problems. If you have a health care plan, find out what type of practitioner can serve as your PCP.
- The term "generalist" often refers to
medical doctors(MDs) and doctors of osteopathic medicine(DOs) who specialize in internal medicine, family practice, or pediatrics.
- OB/GYNs are doctors who specialize in obstetrics and gynecology, including women's health care, wellness, and prenatal care. Many women use an OB/GYN as their primary care provider.
Nurse practitioners(NPs) are nurses with graduate training. They can serve as a primary care provider in family medicine (FNP), pediatrics (PNP), adult care (ANP), or geriatrics (GNP). Others are trained to address women's health care (common concerns and routine screenings) and family planning. In some states NPs can prescribe medications.
physician assistant(PA) can provide a wide range of services in collaboration with a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Osteopathy (DO).
- Registered nurses (RNs) have graduated from a nursing program, have passed a state board examination, and are licensed by the state.
- Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) are state-licensed caregivers who have been trained to care for the sick.
- Advanced practice nurses have education and experience beyond the basic training and licensing required of all RNs. This includes nurse practitioners (NPs) and the following:
- Clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) have training in a field such as cardiac, psychiatric, or community health.
Certified nurse midwives(CNMs) have training in women's health care needs, including prenatal care, labor and delivery, and care of a woman who has given birth.
- Certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) have training in the field of anesthesia. Anesthesia is the process of putting a patient into a painless sleep, and keeping the patient's body working, so surgeries or special tests can be done.
Licensed pharmacists have graduate training from a college of pharmacy.
Your pharmacist prepares and processes drug prescriptions that were written by your primary or specialty care provider. Pharmacists provide information to patients about medications, while also consulting with health care providers about dosages, interactions, and side effects of medicines.
Your pharmacist may also follow your progress to check the safe and effective use of your medication.
Your primary care provider may refer you to professionals in various specialties when necessary, such as:
- Allergy and asthma
- Anesthesiology -- general anesthesia or spinal block for surgeries and some forms of pain control
- Cardiology -- heart disorders
- Dermatology -- skin disorders
- Endocrinology -- hormonal and metabolic disorders, including
- Gastroenterology -- digestive system disorders
- General surgery -- common surgeries involving any part of the body
- Hematology -- blood disorders
- Immunology -- disorders of the immune system
- Infectious disease -- infections affecting the tissues of any part of the body
- Nephrology -- kidney disorders
- Neurology -- nervous system disorders
- Obstetrics/gynecology -- pregnancy and women's reproductive disorders
- Oncology --
- Ophthalmology -- eye disorders and surgery
- Orthopedics -- bone and connective tissue disorders
- Otorhinolaryngology -- ear, nose, and throat (ENT) disorders
- Physical therapy and rehabilitative medicine -- for disorders such as low back injury, spinal cord injuries, and
- Psychiatry -- emotional or mental disorders
- Pulmonary (lung) -- respiratory tract disorders
- Radiology --
x-raysand related procedures (such as ultrasound, CT, and MRI)
- Rheumatology -- pain and other symptoms related to joints and other parts of the musculoskeletal system
- Urology -- disorders of the male reproductive and urinary tracts and the female urinary tract


text: Verizon Wireless had somehow been charging customers extra money on their bills for data that they actually hadn't been using. Approximately 15 million customers were affected by the erroneous billing error. According to BGR the FCC had been pressuring Verizon to resp0nd to the hundreds of complaints that had been piling up. So Verizon's answer was to refund all of the overcharged money as soon as possible.

At the first religious service I've been to in about six years -- a funeral service for "Hank", a religious friend, the minister asked the attendees to say "Amen" 100 times each day. (That six-year-ago one was a funeral service too.)
His words surprised me so much that, right there in the chapel, I reached into my bookbag and took out my ereader. In both of its Oxford dictionaries -- the New American and the English -- I looked up the word. Yep, it means "So be it" and consent.
The guy wanted me to self-train for passive obedience!
Hell, I haven't said "Amen" since about 1957 when I quit Catholicism.
I heard another elder -- I'm 82 -- say it about two years ago after a meeting had opened with the Pledge of Allegiance!
Okay, some elders revert to childhood. That elder said it loud and clear. A month later at the next meeting, another elder said it very faintly. I haven't heard it since.
Were you brought up in a religion? Do you remember attempts to make you passively obedient?
The Catholic schools my dad sent his kids to tried. They really tried. I first rebelled in fifth grade when out of about 15 boys, I was the only one who refused to enter training to become an altar boy.
I next rebelled when, I don't remember the grade, Sister X admonished the class to turn the other cheek. I sat there telling myself, "I have only two cheeks!" I repeated my protest several times; I wanted it to sink in.
In eleventh grade where I first studied science -- chemistry, Sister Y cautioned the class that to doubt is to commit a sin. "Hey!" I asked myself, "doesn't all learning begin with doubt?" I replied "Yes!"
More happened, but now it's your turn. Do you recall any attempts to make you passively obedient? What were they? If they took hold, how did you free yourself?
(BTW, before my dad died he knew that all five of his kids had quit Catholicism. Our revenge.)
Views: 255
Mass. The entire she-bang. The kneeling, standing, sitting, kneeling again ritual--why? none of it made sense. The group chanting, done so monotonously, so soullessly. The priest acting to interpret scripture, keeping the majority of lay-people from thinking critically--from even cracking open the bible outside of church.
All I remember from the religious course in catholic school is how bored I was and that it was a very quiet affair--students did not actively participate because there was no questioning The Church.
Most other attempts at cultivating passive obedience took place in public school.
I am surrounded by Mormons. Any QUESTIONING of the Church teachings or doctrine is "rebellion" against that passive obedience.
I've always being passively obedient as a believer; when i first lost my faith and was in the path of knowing myself i had no issue rebelling against anyone no matter how small the issue was. Now, i just consider myself to lazy to actually go with it. When i do, there is always someone willing to shut me up.
The passive obedience bit is so pervasive in our society. I have never been good at it. During my exploration of Christianity, I asked questions like, "Why do you think God is a male? Why couldn't it be a female? How does an ethereal being even have testicles? Are you kidding me about the Ark? What would have stopped the polar bears from eating the giraffes?"
I can't help it. I've got a brain. When, in response to questions like these, people said I just needed to not question, or they gave me ridiculous answers, they lost me.
I come by this honestly. My mother said she lost her faith when, while in church watching people sing, she realized they looked like cows to her. Obedient, docile cows.
Diane, my older sister had a brain too.
In the Catholic girls high school our dad sent her to, she asked questions the nuns were unable to answer. They told her to wait for Wednesday, when the priest came, and to ask him.
She was the first of our parents' five kids to quit Catholicism.
I see a lot of passive obedience. Grow people with poor self-esteem (religion helps), tell them again and again of "our Democracy", and most, burdened with families, settle for crumbs.
Four years in hardball politics persuaded me to either quit politics or educate people.
Saying Om Namah Sivaya or Om Namo Narayanaya 108 times is auspicious. It cleanses the mind.
Amen doesn't mean so be it, that is just a convenient answer to give enquiring minds. It is derived from the sanskrit primordial sound-structure "OM"
What happens if you say it 109 times?
