sumak and black pepper on cheese on toast is a great way to finesse the taste
What's sumac? It sounds like a character from Deep Space 9. Or a very fat, dead, Japanese rapper.

Brilliant thread.

It is an essential ingredient for Arabic cooking, favoured over lemon for sourness and astringency.
don't mean to horrify the vegetarians here but...is there anything that's NOT improved by adding some bacon?

The name of the dish sometimes includes the kind of vegetables inside it, for example wortelstoemp (wortel= carrot).

The Dutch also do sugar sandwiches, so who can doubt their culinary expertise?

HTC EVO 4G LTE officialy launched by Sprint, kickstand and all
posted by Alan F. / Jun 02, 2012, 12:41 PM
For Sprint customers, deciding on purchasing the HTC EVO 4G LTE would be a no-brainer, especially for those upgrading from a previous EVO model. But there is something lurking in the background called the Samsung Galaxy S III which might give those subscribers to the nation's third largest carrier a reason to pause before plunking down the cash for this device.

Yup, the Sammy 'monster' is definitely going to have an impact on HTC sales.

True, but it also goes in the way of HTC as well. Those who have been waiting nearly two weeks to get their hands on this phone (thanks to the legal hassle caused by Apple) are now more excited about the phone now that they can finally get it. On top of that, some may be compelled to get the phone out of spite for Apple, as if to say "HA! You didn't want this phone to be released, well here it is!" Either way, HTC's got a lot of ground to regain after losing a lot of it last year, but I think they will be all right, especially once the Incredible 4G hits shelves.

If the HTC EVO 4G LTE were available on VZW, I suspect it would have a better sales metric. No LTE on Sprint has to hurt sales of an LTE handset. I mean, why bother buying the feature if you can't use it? If your friends are on VZW and are zipping along with LTE, why would you want to continue the misery? If I am not mistaken, this handset doesn't even have a WiMax radio, so you can't even have 3 1/2 G speeds where WiMax is available.

It's a trade-off with Sprint, has been for a few years now. Unlimited data, but slower than everyone else. It's a sacrifice many have made, including myself, so I have to deal with it. At least until October... When they put up the LTE towers and expand their current network, it will be better. For now, yes, it sucks, but Sprint has to do SOMETHING to start picking up the slack. IMO It's better to put out phones despite a lack of LTE than to not put something out at all. They'd lose a hell of a lot more money if they just didn't try.

While this would be a great thing for Sprint, both companies have openly expressed that they are not interested in any type of agreements of any kind including roaming agreements. This is mainly on the part of Big Red but either way, barring some industry crippling event, I wouldn't expect to see any kind of "cease fire" or "peace talks" between the two.

Yet the screen is still disgusting and it's running Sense. I'll admit Touchwiz isn't perfect but it's damn good and way better than Sense. It's HTC that needs to step up their game, as always. The SGS3 destroys this phone.

Yeah, which is why tech reviewers overwhelmingly acclaim the S-LCD2 as a much better screen than the SGSIII's AMOLED one, and when I compared my Evo's screen to the G-Note's at Best Buy today it kicked the crap out of it in every category but black-rendering, which it still came very close to... what a disgusting screen...

The biggest Con for the HTC is no LTE on Sprint. If it were available on VZW, they probably would sell 2x what they will sell on Sprint.

Update - I stopped at a Sprint store to check out the new HTC. I can see why iApple tried to stop it at Customs. The only thing keeping it from greatness is no LTE on Sprint. iApple better step up their game, cause otherwise the new ICS handsets are gonna put the iDevices to shame.

I went today, and I am truly amazed SVDO, gorgeous display, speed, great camera, large display, HD voice, and as light as a feather! Sammy may have speed but these features alone puts the EVO LTE ahead in my opinion. SVDO is swaying me away from Samsung....if Samsung doesn't offer SVDO on 3G forget about it....Benchmarks wont do any thing radical for that phone based on the speed of the software interaction that I saw today on the EVO LTE. I saw no lag what so ever I give that phone a 9-9.5 based on SVDO over 3G, speed of software, LCD 2 display, over all camera performance, HD voice, appearance in person, light weight and build quality. Cons no LTE today, haters not trying the phone talking s**t. This phone deserves a solid 9 easily. I just hope antenna signal is great. In the store my Photon had 72 dbm and filled blue data bars where as the EVO antenna bars were white and filled but DBM was 102....not sure why! Can any one confirm the deal on this?

I picked mine up at best buy today and I can honestly say it is a great phone. I have had a iPhone4 and it looks like apple better pick up there game to try and keep up.I also have the droid razr and I hate to say it because I like it a lot but the EVO LTE is doing much better than it is. Also I have noticed up here in the Pittsburg area that Verizon's LTE network has been sucking it up lately full service LTE and I am getting about 1.24 Mbps. And when I did a speed test on the EVO LTE on 3G I was getting anywhere from .80 to 1.5 Mbps so it looks like along with the new EVO launch sprints network speed is doing better than it used to. And I typed this on my brand new EVO LTE.

Good to see Sprint's already kicking in the faster 3G speeds, that'll help for those who can't enjoy LTE yet. Hopefully Chicago will get some of that good stuff soon (I've been hearing around September is when they'll be putting the LTE towers in, but I can never be sure these days)

This phone is awesome. Got mine today at Best Buy for a grand total of $5. Traded my EVO 3D in for $95 (I kept my charger, otherwise would have gotten $100). Plus I got two $50 gift cards that Best Buy let me use when purchasing the phone. One was for buying the EVO 4G LTE, the other was for Phone Freedom which I don't have a clue what it was. But I don't care. I got this truly awesome phone for $5.

Picked mine up yesterday. My wife's phone broke but I was upgrade eligible so she gets my EVO 3d and I get this AMAZING device. I was actually going to pass since Charlotte has WiMAX but no LTE. Aside from that issue, this phone blows away anything else out there. It's like a lighter, slimmer, faster version of the original with a better screen and way better battery life. Good luck Sammy.

It's no wonder that pianist, Bill Charlap, loves the music that has come to be called The Great American Songbook—the songs of great Tin Pan Alley composers such as Jerome Kern, George Gershwin and Irving Berlin.
He grew up with it.
Born and raised in New York, Bill's father, Moose Charlap, was a Broadway composer and his mother, Sandy Stewart, is a self-described 'popular singer with jazz overtones.'
In this performance/interview with jazz host, Abe Beeson, Bill takes 2 songs from that fabled Songbook and uses them to illustrate how a jazz musician can honor tradition and still be on the cutting edge of improvisational invention.
And as you listen, try to identify all of the other songs that Bill quotes as he finds his way to the heart of the song he's playing. Underlying Bill Charlap's technical brilliance and great emotional focus is a musical wit that is second to none.

Lynn Harris Ballen left South Africa more than 30 years ago, but the country and the struggles of its past still run in her veins.
It was while she searched for her biological father, John Harris, that Ballen discovered her own personal link to Nelson Mandela.
"My biological father was an anti apartheid activist in the early 60s," said Ballen, a writer who also produces the program Feminist Magazine on KPFK Pacifica 90.7 FM radio.
"He was involved in an activist group that was bombing non civilian targets, and he ended up being executed by the apartheid government," Ballen said. "He was the only white man executed as a political prisoner."
This was in 1965 when Mandela was a prisoner on Robben Island. When Mandela had heard Harris had been hanged in the gallows, he called for a moment of silence among the political prisoners.
"My first reaction was sorrow," Ballen said of hearing of Mandela's death.
Harris, who lives in Los Angeles, said she also thought of the younger generations who did not live through the struggles of her homeland.
She called Mandela a complicated man who was part of a struggle in which activists believed they had no choice but to take up arms.
Ballen returned home in 2011, when a memorial ceremony was held for the families of the 134 political prisoners who had been executed during apartheid.
Mandela's death should "be a moment for the country to stop and take stock and revive some of the values that Mandela and the founders of the ANC represented," she said. "So much of that has been forgotten and lost. Mandela was so unique in that he was an exemplary statesmen. South Africa was so blessed to have him walk them through the process (of democracy)."

The Directory Server provides a browser interface and command-line tools for administering multiple servers, instances, and suffixes in a replicated environment. This chapter provides overview information about the Directory Server administration tools.
This chapter covers the following topics:
Information about the Directory Server administration framework is provided in other guides in this documentation set.
For an overview of the Directory Server administration framework, see Directory Server Enterprise Edition Administration Model in Oracle Fusion Middleware Deployment Planning Guide for Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition.
For more detailed reference information about the Directory Server administration framework, see Chapter 2, Directory Server Overview, in Oracle Fusion Middleware Reference for Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition.
Directory Server Enterprise Edition provides two user interfaces for managing directory server and directory proxy server instances: a browser interface, Directory Service Control Center (DSCC), and a command-line interface.
Most procedures in this guide can be performed using either the command line or DSCC. The procedures in this guide show how to use the command line to accomplish a particular task. In most cases DSCC can be used to perform the same task. If DSCC can be used for a particular task, a statement to that effect appears at the beginning of the procedure.
The DSCC online help provides detailed instructions on how to use DSCC to perform the procedures in this guide.
DSCC enables you to perform some operations and tasks more easily than you can perform them from the command line, as explained in the following sections. In general, any command that must be applied to several servers is best performed using DSCC.
DSCC displays tables that show all server instances that have been registered in DSCC, all suffixes that have been configured, and the status of each.
The servers table is on the Directory Servers tab and shows the operational status of the server. For a complete list of possible server states, see the Directory Server online help.
The suffixes table is on the Suffixes tab and shows replication status information, such as the number of entries and the number and age of any missing changes. For more information about the information displayed in this table, see the Directory Server online help.
Server groups assist you in monitoring and configuring servers. You can create groups and assign servers to the groups. For example, you can group servers by geographical location, or by function. If you have a large number of servers, you can filter the servers shown on the Directory Servers tab so that only the servers in the group are shown. You can also copy the server configuration (for example index or cache settings) of one server to all other servers in a group. For instructions on how to set up and use a server group, see the Directory Server online help.
DSCC enables you to copy the configuration settings of an existing server, suffix, or replication agreement to one or more other servers, suffixes, or replication agreements. For information about how to perform each of these tasks, see the Directory Server online help.
With DSCC, you can set up a replication topology quickly and easily. Simply create the server instances, then use the steps provided by DSCC to designate the role of each server. DSCC automatically creates the replication agreements for you. For more information about how to configure replication using DSCC, see the Directory Server online help.
Most tasks you perform on DSCC can be performed using command-line tools. These tools enable you to manage Directory Server directly from the command line, and to manage your server by using scripts.
The main directory server commands are dsadm, dsconf, and dsutil. You can use these commands to perform backups, export to LDIF, manage certificates, manage the administration of users or roles, and so on. For information about these commands, see the dsadm(1M), dsconf(1M), and dsutil(1M) man pages.
The dsconf, dsmig, dsccmon, and dsutil are LDAP based commands so you must specify the user bind DN and password for these commands to authenticate. While the dpadm and dsadm commands operate on the instance files.
This section contains the following information about Directory Server command-line tools:
The Directory Server command-line tools are contained in a default installation directory:
The directory for your installation depends on your operating system. Installation paths for all operating systems are listed in Default Paths and Command Locations.
The dsconf command requires some options that you can preset by using environment variables. If you do not specify an option when using the command, or do not set the environment variable, the default setting is used. You can configure environment variables for the following options:
User bind DN. Environment variable: LDAP_ADMIN_USER. Default: cn=Directory Manager.
Password file for the user bind DN. Environment variable: LDAP_ADMIN_PWF. Default: Prompt for password.
Host name. Environment variable: DIRSERV_HOST. Default: local host.
LDAP port number. Environment variable: DIRSERV_PORT. Default: 389.
Specifies that dsconf should open a clear connection by default. Environment variable: DIRSERV_UNSECURED. If this variable is not set, dsconf opens a secure connection by default.
For more details, see the dsconf(1M) man page.
The following table shows a comparison of the dsadm and dsconf commands.Table 1–1 Comparison of the dsadm and dsconf Commands
dsadm Command
dsconf Command
Administration commands that must be run directly on the local host. For example:
Administration commands that can be run from a remote host. For example:
The server must be stopped (except for the dsadm stop and dsadm info commands).
The server is identified by the server instance path (instance-path).
You must have OS access permissions to the server instance path.
The server must be running.
The server is identified by host name (-h) port (-p) or LDAPS secure port (-P).
If you do not specify a port number, dsconf uses the default port (389 for LDAP).
You must have LDAP access permissions to configuration data, for example, as the user cn=admin,cn=Administrators,cn=config.
For complete information about how to use the dsadm, dsconf, and dsutil commands, see the dsadm(1M), dsconf(1M), and dsutil(1M) man pages.
To obtain a list of subcommands, type the appropriate command:
$ dsadm --help
$ dsconf --help
$ dsutil --help
To obtain information about how to use a subcommand, type the appropriate command:
$ dsadm subcommand --help
$ dsconf subcommand --help
$ dsutil subcommand --help
Many of the dsconf subcommands enable you to view and modify configuration properties.
To list the configuration properties used in Directory Server, type:
$ dsconf help-properties
To find a particular property, search the output of the help properties.
For example, if you are using a UNIX platform and you want to search for all properties relating to referrals, use the following command.
$ dsconf help-properties | grep -i referral SER referral-url rw M LDAP_URL | undefined Referrals returned to clients requesting a DN not stored in this Directory Server (Default: undefined) SUF referral-mode rw disabled|enabled|only-on-write Specifies how referrals are used for requests involving the suffix (Default: disabled) SUF referral-url rw M LDAP_URL | undefined Server(s) to which updates are referred (Default: undefined) SUF repl-rewrite-referrals-enabled rw on|off Specifies whether automatic referrals are overwritten (Default: off)
Note that the properties are grouped by targeted objects, such as suffixes (SUF) and server (SER). The rw keyword indicates that the property is readable and writable. The M keyword indicates that the property is multivalued.
To see the server attribute, use verbose mode. For example, on a UNIX system, type:
$ dsconf help-properties -v | grep -i referral-mode SUF referral-mode rw disabled|enabled|only-on-write nsslapd-state Specifies how referrals are used for requests involving the suffix (Default: disabled)
For more information about individual properties, see the man page for that property. The man pages are in Oracle Fusion Middleware Man Page Reference for Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition.
Certain Directory Server properties can take multiple values. The syntax to specify these values is as follows:
$ dsconf set-container-prop -h host -p port container-name \ property:value1 property:value2
For example, to set multiple encryption ciphers for a server, use the following command:
$ dsconf set-server-prop -h host1 -p 1389 ssl-cipher-family:SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5 \ ssl-cipher-family:SSL_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
To add a value to a multi-valued property that already contains values, use the following syntax:
$ dsconf set-container-prop -h host -p port container-name property+:value
To remove a value from a multi-valued property that already contains values, use the following syntax:
$ dsconf set-container-prop -h host -p port container-name property-:value
For example, in the scenario described previously, to add the SHA encryption cipher to the list of ciphers, run this command:
$ dsconf set-server-prop -h host1 -p 1389 \ ssl-cipher-family+:TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
To remove the MD5 cipher from the list, run this command:
$ dsconf set-server-prop -h host1 -p 1389 ssl-cipher-family-:SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5
You must create the following ACIs to work with the dsutil command successfully:
$ldapmodify -h host -p port -D cn=admin,cn=Administrators,cn=config -w - -c dn: cn=config changetype: modify add: aci aci: (targetattr="*")(version 3.0; acl "Allow the Suffix Manager to browse the tree"; \ allow (read,search,compare)userdn = "ldap:///$USERSFXADMIN";) aci: (targetattr="nsslapd-rootpw")\ (version 3.0; acl "Prevent the Suffix Manager from accessing passwords"; \ deny (all)userdn = "ldap:///$USERSFXADMIN";) aci: (targetattr="userPassword")\ (version 3.0; acl "Prevent the Suffix Manager from accessing passwords"; \ deny (all)userdn = "ldap:///$USERSFXADMIN";) aci: (targetattr="dsKeyedPassword")\ (version 3.0; acl "Prevent the Suffix Manager from accessing passwords"; \ deny (all)userdn = "ldap:///$USERSFXADMIN";)
For more information about dsutil command, see dsutil(1M).
The man pages provide descriptions of all commands and attributes used in Directory Server. In addition, the man pages show some useful examples of how to use the commands in deployment.

You're not the only one who can come up with stupid examples you know. And there's a difference between spending your entire day on twitter and keeping in touch with fans. If an artist doesn't give a fuck about his/her fans, then why should they give a fuck about the artists? It's exactly the same as networking in real life, don't feel like it? Fine, but don't complain when you can't find a job and have nobody to rely on.
Wouldn't it be great if all criminals were like this? :)
That's exactly what I was thinking. If a review like this can have an influence on a lawsuit about practices being illegal or not, there's something wrong with the justice system in place (not that there isn't anything wrong, mind you).
The people filing this are idiots. These are badly made, unpopular and low rated apps, they should have let them rot and be forgotten. That being said, they're pretty intolerant themselves calling this racist, everyone has stereotypical images about people they've never met, some a lot worse than this. Then again, they're allowed their opinion too, so they can be butthurt as much as they want.
This is like PETA going after Pokemon. It won't get them anywhere and will just reveal how badly delusional these people are.
I don't see dressing up as racist. I see it as dressing up =.= I don't give a damn if some american/asian/african/whatever-else-you-can-come-up-with dresses up as Frau Antje with the weird white ethnic hat, wooden shoes, tulips, joint and all, pretending to be half stoned cause that's how they see us. I know that's not what all Dutch people are like, why on earth should I be offended because someone else decides to publicly display their idiocy? I'd laugh if I ever ran into someone like that.
Newer is always better, so the FSM is the one true god! Do you have any idea how many people eat pasta every day? His tastiness is endless! I really hope his Noodly Appendage will at some point touch you, 'cause otherwise you'll miss out on the beer volcano and stripper factory in the afterlife and be bored for all eternity.
Abortion is definitely a sore subject practically everywhere, even here in the Netherlands (where weed and prostitution are legal), now and again 'religious' people feel the need to get abortion back on the political agenda. Or to promote making the process more lengthy or force doctors to remind women seeking abortion that they should consider adoption. Even here we had some radical christian politician echo the 'women can prevent getting pregnant from rape' argument.
I personally think abortion should be legal, information should be given and it should be made sure that the girl herself wants abortion, not her family/boyfriend. Ofcourse, it does say a lot about you if you get multiple abortions just because you don't feel like using birth control, but does it matter? I don't think it does. As soon as you start putting up restrictions people will start forcing women who really do deserve an abortion to have a child they absolutely don't want and probably can't love at all. To me that's more screwed up than letting some dumb bimbo prevent her bad genes to be spread further.
...this is kinda off topic o.o Meh... *posts anyway*
"Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain"
Because he's not my god.
His noodliness the FSM is a far cooler and more tolerant god than yours.
"Feinstein insists that there's a secret reason for why this information needs to be kept secret -- and promises to wave the piece of paper around (if someone hands it to her) that contains the secret reason that she can't tell us."
Who else thinks that if someone found her that piece of paper the reason would turn out to be invisible?
You can add to those and the points in the article a language barrier to getting edits done by foreigners. This isn't a big problem in languages which are common, like English, French, German, Chinese, Spanish etc. I've edited some stuff in the English and Dutch wikis, and would probably manage doing French and German if I ever came across blatant errors. But I for one have no idea what language is spoken in Kazakhstan and I most certainly don't speak it. This means that even if foreigners out of reach of penalties do know what's going on, they still won't know the article is wrong or be able to correct it. You can't edit articles you can't read.
Crud... ^That was me but I forgot to sign in...
I'd like to add that it should be DRM free, so I can download it and read/listen/watch it any way and anywhere I like. And preferably downloadable in different high quality formats.
Reasonably priced is one thing, but if I can't be sure what I'm buying will still be mine in the future I'm not buying it either.
Some local pranksters must be laughing their heads off right now...
So when you go to a store you buy a random book with a very pretty cover and nice thick paper because that gives it 'feel' and 'character'?
"staring at a screen for hours on end is a lot harsher than reading from good print"
Have you ever heard of a odd little thing known as an "e-reader with an e-ink screen"? My eyes never hurt when reading from mine, nor do my wrists, since they don't have to hold an overweight print edition.
And your second point is more of a problem with publishers and copyright than with e-books. I own all the public domain and pirated e-books on my reader, I can give them to all my friends. And guess what? They don't have to return em either!
And printing is an ART? It may have been in the time of Gutenberg, but now it's just a push of a button. A lot of what goes before the printing may be an art, but the printing itself most certainly is not. Perhaps you should try the new Gutenberg, PROJECT Gutenberg, you know, the site where you can legally download lots of DRM free public domain books at no charge? Or are you gonna tell me that Sherlock Holmes and poems by Robert Frost are bad quality content?
*dodges blow*
I'm not as unwitting as you seem to think I am. Providing no crazy dictator unleash EMP blasts near your town and you don't own something as ridiculous as books with DRM or an e-reader with a built in kill switch for files (what moron buys a Kindle anyway), e-books are quite as durable as real books. Especially if I back them up in multiple locations. And hackers messing with your bookmarks? Paranoid much?
"Or worse: altered, sometimes so subtly you would never know--which is the greatest danger we face in the digital age"
So you're really trying to say you wouldn't notice if your bookmarks were moved? Or your notes changed? That's more of a problem with your brain than with an e-reader/e-book.
And you're pretty quick to judge me to be a "ADD-riddled youth of today (who cannot concentrate on a single thing long enough to read more than a few words, before having to flip out to Faceplant, or the favorite pr0n site, FarmVille, the Sims, a round of HALO, and some Mincraft, before popping back to the ebook to read a few more words)". I am quite capable of focusing on one thing for extended periods of time, how else would I have gotten my MSc title? I have to admit, I have a facebook page ... with about 10 posts ... over 3+ years. Though I do wonder how you know about all these other wastes of time I'd never think of, perhaps you are more of a sinner than I am?
And yes, real books do have some merit, I own plenty, but most of the crap being written as "entertainment" isn't worth the paper it's printed on. We would be much better off with trash like Twilight lost for posterity. But hey, kill another bunch of trees since you want to touch the paper so badly. The only books I buy without knowing them beforehand are scientific books and I don't do that without prior research on the contents.
Oh, I do have a job for you though, if you're so concerned about preservation. You should print the thousands upon thousands of useful scientific articles published online-only to preserve them for posterity. That way you'll really do the world a favor. Unless ofcourse you think their presence on harddrives of scientists around the world is enough...
That passage creeped me out big time, sounded like badly written porn, but he's talking about HIS KIDS :/
IF you buy autorized versions of copyrighted books with DRM that is. Public domain books are not protected by DRM, neither are pirated ebooks.

Who put the Be in Benelux? Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg each donated a syllable to name their extremely pretty and historically electric region, originally formed as an economic alliance. Despite similarities in culture, language, and lifestyle across borders, each of these countries has a distinctive character and so many compelling reasons to visit them. Amsterdam, the Dutch capital, ringed with canals, shares with Bruges (Belgium) the title Venice of the North. It all has the atmosphere of another age: Flemish architecture, belfries, old churches and cathedrals, and beguinages. The cultural influence in Amsterdam is unique: Rembrandt and for a short period Van Gogh lived here. Walking in Amsterdam will be a journey into Hollands Golden Age: its houses, churches, and palaces along the banks of the canals make this destination unforgettable.
In the southwest of Holland, Zeeland is an island province of flooded land and dikes. It represents one of the greatest defeats of nature by man: to reclaim land from the sea. The dam on the River Scheldt is one of the most remarkable aspects of this feat. The Delta Works, a system of hydraulic engineering works protects the country against storm surges and improves the water balance. In Holland, the daily struggle against the tides has given rise to a network of windmills, from Kinderdijk to Elshout. Dozens of windmills, the oldest of which were constructed at the beginning of the 18th century, use the force of the wind to drain the water from the land seized from the sea. This prodigious network today is listed on UNESCOs list of World Heritage Sites.
The North Sea coast is wild, windy, and wonderful for long walks and bracing sea air. Journey along the seaboard Explore the coast in Belgium by bicycle or by tram, rolling through seaside towns and along empty dunes. The Wadden Sea islands in Holland are a magnificently preserved natural area. Real pearls of peace and nature are how the Dutch describe them.
Benelux cities have the atmosphere of another age - Dutch and Flemish houses rising narrowly from the streets, belfries, old churches, cathedrals beguinages mixed with some of the most modern art and shopping you could wish for. In Luxembourg, charming narrow streets in the old town wind up and down under the gaze of the fortress. And yet youll find the most modern, gleaming buildings fill in the skyline of cities throughout the vibrant cities of the Benelux.
Amsterdam, city of surprises, has streets thronged with tourists veering from one outstanding museum to the next, stopping for a snack of poffertjes (the cutest pancakes in the world) and sampling coffeehouse culture. The locals are allotted some space, too and watch out, theyre the ones zooming around on bicycles! Tourists are slower because theyre always taking a 360 look around.
The Hague, royal city and seat of the government of the Netherlands, boasts that it is a city of art and culture equal to Amsterdam, and heres the proof: the Mauritshuis, the Prince William V Gallery and the Bredius Museum exhibit some of the most beautiful works of Dutch and Flemish masters. This is where the Girl with a Pearl Earring lives.
Brussels, capital of Belgium, seat of the European Union and NATO, revels in its marriage of the old and the new Europe. In the GrandPlace, built in flamboyant medieval Flemish style, sip one of 400 excellent Belgian beers, or wander the first-ever covered shopping arcade. Les Galleries de la Reine. Step into the past in the soaring nave in the cathedral of St. Michel et Gudule or relish the delicacy of Brussels Art Nouveau architecture. The science-fiction like Atomium is from the other end of the temporal spectrum and just as much a landmark of the Brussels cityscape.
The city of Antwerp is a goldmine: historic sites, a lively atmosphere, diamonds and fashion. How can you miss this? Choose from sites such as the Cathedral of Our Lady (the largest in Belgium), the house and atelier of the painter Rubens, and the Plantin-Moretus house, dedicated to the early history of the printed word. The diamond quarter has its own sparkle and the Antwerp fashion scene is world-famous.
Luxembourg is small, dramatic, opulent, and charming all at once. Intriguing narrow streets wind around a fortress gazing down on the spectacularly deep city park. Magnificently modern buildings punctuate the city, fueled by international and private banking centers. The arts scene is very lively, galleries abound, and festivals celebrating music, the performing arts, culture and gastronomy abound.
Naturally attractive Relax and take advantage of the verdant green expanses of the Benelux when youve had your fill of urban fun.
The Ardennes in Belgium are traversed by the River Meuse, an area known for its dense forests, lakes, waterfalls, and spectacular caves and grottoes. This is a favorite area for hikes and rafting, among other sports. Quaint towns offer up castles, monastic cheeses and beers, and fun spots to visit such as Dinant, which we thank for its native son, Adolphe Sax, inventor of the saxophone.
The Ardennes in Luxembourg cover the northern part of the Grand Duchy. One landscape vies with another to be the most beautiful: deep woods, windswept plateaus, fields that stretch to forever, deep valleys and steep hillsides surmounted by romantic medieval castles in Little Switzerland.

Senate GOP Gives Budget Deal Chilly Reception
Lawmakers Oppose Spending Increases, Veterans' Cuts; Bill Is Expected to Pass
The two-year budget agreement that the House passed with a resounding, bipartisan margin is facing stiffer opposition in the Senate from Republicans who oppose proposed spending increases and cuts in veterans' retirement benefits.
High levels of opposition emerging from Senate Republicans point to a split with the House GOP, who voted for the agreement in large numbers. But even senators wary of the bill say the GOP on both sides of the Capitol shares an interest in seeing the bill pass, in order to avoid another government...

WASHINGTON — Congressional Democrats unveiled legislation Thursday to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines like those used in the school massacre at Newtown, Conn., even as they acknowledged an uphill battle getting the measures through a divided Congress.
The group led by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., called on the public to get behind their effort, saying that is the only way they will prevail over opposition from the well-organized National Rifle Association and its congressional allies.
"This is really an uphill road. If anyone asked today, 'Can you win this?' the answer is, 'We don't know, it's so uphill,"' Feinstein said at a Capitol Hill news conference backed by police chiefs, mayors and crime victims. "There is one great hope out there. And that is you, because you are stronger than the gun lobby. You are stronger than the gun manufacturers. But only if you stand up."
Feinstein's legislation comes a week after President Obama unveiled a package of gun control measures including a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and it marks the start of tense congressional debate with no certain conclusion.
In addition to NRA opposition, Feinstein and her supporters must contend with the Republican-controlled House, where leaders have shown scant interest in gun measures. Perhaps even more daunting, fellow Democrats from rural states where voters strongly support gun rights have deep concerns about her measure.
Even Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has expressed skepticism that the assault weapons ban could get through Congress. Some advocacy groups are focusing their attention instead on expanding background checks, which is seen as more doable politically.
Feinstein's legislation is written comprehensively to cover rifles, pistols and handguns with one of any military-style features like detachable stock, pistol grips or grenade launchers. It also bans 157 specific firearms, while excluding 2,258 hunting and sporting rifles and shotguns. And it bans magazines that accept more than 10 rounds.
Feinstein aimed to improve upon the previous assault weapons ban she authored, which expired in 2004 when Congress failed to renew it under NRA pressure. Original passage of that bill in 1994 was blamed for costing Democrats control of the House and Senate after they supported it. There's also considerable debate about its effectiveness during the years it was in effect, in part because of loopholes that allowed gun manufacturers to work around it. Feinstein's new version is more comprehensive in defining what kinds of weapons are banned.
The NRA responded that the new bill would infringe on the constitutional right to bear arms and that instead the focus should be on prosecuting criminals and improving the country's mental health system.
"The American people know gun bans do not work, and we are confident Congress will reject Sen. Feinstein's wrong-headed approach," the NRA said in a statement.

Developer here. I have a system where there is a front machine creating rows in a moderately complex database, and a back machine that must sync with the front machine to run reports. Both run SQL Server Compact databases.
Currently, we pull (and back up) the database to the back. But now it takes too long due to network latency and database size, so we are evaluating our options. One of them is to add a timestamp/rowversion column to each table. We can then just pull updated/inserted records and apply them accordingly.
Is using the timestamp to grab all new/updated records from the front to update/add them to the back a viable solution? Will the timestamps stay in sync, or will the back get new timestamps when the records are applied?
Or is there another option I am not aware of?

These family doctor and emergency-room alternatives are popping up in more storefronts around the country — but they differ in price and quality of care.
1. "We might put your family doctor out of business…"
The next time you get sick or need a physical, there's a good chance you'll be seen not in a hospital or your primary-care physician's office, but in a clinic based in a drugstore or supermarket. Retail health clinics, popping up everywhere from strip-mall storefronts to Wal-Marts, are one of the newest alternatives to the doctor's office — no appointment necessary. There are now nearly 1,400 stand-alone clinics across the country, 54 more than last year and over twice as many as five years ago. That's in addition to about 8,700 urgent-care centers, which treat more serious ailments and injuries. The proliferation of the walk-in clinics is largely an effort by the overburdened health system to divert patients with minor ailments to facilities that are less expensive than the emergency room: On average, retail and urgent-care clinics cost 80% less than the E.R., according to the Rand Corp., a research firm, and a study by BlueCross and Blue Shield of Minnesota found clinic visits cost half as much as a primary-care appointment. And as health reform kicks in and millions of newly insured patients flood the system, experts say, the difficulty of getting an appointment at a regular doctor's office could make the clinics the only realistic option for some consumers.
But patients choose the clinics not just out of desperation, but because they offer another advantage over traditional doctor offices: convenience. The clinics are open on nights and weekends — after most primary-care physicians have gone home — and since walk-in patients are welcome, people can go when they first feel sick, instead of waiting for their doctor's schedule to open up. Plus, the clinics offer fast service, so people need not block off half a day to sit in the waiting room: The average patient is in and out in 15 to 20 minutes, according to the Convenient Care Association, the retail clinics' trade group. "We were considered the soccer mom favorites early on," says Tine Hansen-Turton, executive director of the association. Indeed, a Rand study found that patients who try retail clinics are 67% less likely to go to a doctor the next time they get sick with a similar problem, a phenomenon health experts view as potentially dangerous: "If every time a patient goes to a retail clinic is one less visit to their doctor, could they be undermining primary care relationships?" questions Ateev Mehrotra, a Rand health policy analyst.

BRIDGEWATER, Va. – Senior Tyler Beiler (Ronks, Pa./Conestoga Valley) hauled in a 42-yard touchdown reception with 10 minutes to play to put the Bridgewater Eagles football team up 17-10, before a Jacob Hutchinson (Greenville, Va./Riverheads) fake field goal with 1:17 capped off a 24-10 victory over the Emory and Henry Wasps on Senior Day at Jopson Field.
On their first possession of the game, the Bridgewater (6-2, 2-2 ODAC) offense marched right down field on the Wasps before a three-yard touchdown run from Darrin McKenzie (Rustburg, Va./Brookville) put the Eagles up 7-0 with 10:03 to go in the opening stanza.
Emory and Henry moved into Bridgewater territory on its ensuing drive before a Dustin Beck passed was intercepted at the 17-yard line by Darrin Stephenson (Chesapeake, Va./Indian River) to thwart an early Wasps drive.
Both teams had three-and-outs to end the first frame as the defenses buckled down in the latter part of the quarter.
Another three-and-out, this time by Bridgewater, opened the second quarter before Emory and Henry got the ball back with 13:36 to play in the opening half.
Emory and Henry trudged to the Eagles 30 before things stalled out for the Wasps offense, forcing a field goal attempt. Matt Turchin's 47-yard field goal attempt went wide right to keep the score at 7-0.
Bridgewater had another scoring opportunity thwarted in its final drive of the half when Hagan Driskell (Ruther Glen, Va./Caroline) connected with Beiler. Beiler scampered to the one-yard line before defender Daniel Woods forced a fumble, which was recovered by the Wasps in the endzone to keep the Eagles off of the scoreboard.
The game remained 7-0 as both teams headed to the intermission.
Following an Emory and Henry three-and-out to open the half, Bridgewater drove 70 yards on 11 plays to set up a 22-yard chip shot field goal. Freshman Jordan Thacker (Hickory, N.C./Fred T. Foard) converted the 22-yard attempt to put the Eagles ahead 10-0 with 6:47 to play in the third quarter.
Emory & Henry responded with a quick 68 yard scoring drive, capped off by a 14 yard strike from Beck to Zack Santolla to chip the Eagles' lead to 10-7 with 3:35 left in the third quarter.
After a three-and-out from Bridgewater on its ensuing drive, Emory & Henry drove to the Bridgewater 25 before a 42-yard Turchin field goal split the uprights to knot the score at 10 a piece with 12:02 to play.
Bridgewater responded to the Wasps score in a hurry when Driskell connected with Beiler from 42 yards out to put the Eagles ahead 17-10.
Emory & Henry's offense had a three and out on its subsequent possession, setting up Bridgewater's lengthy game-winning drive.
Bridgewater used a 14-play, 58 yard drive to march to the Emory & Henry six before setting up the would be field goal for Thacker. On the snap, Hutchinson barreled off of the left side to the endzone to put the nail in the coffin, giving Bridgewater a 24-10 victory.
Driskell was solid through the air, completing 16 of 23 passes for 235 yards and a score. Driskell moved into second place on the career passing yardage list with 4,934 career yards.
On the ground, the two-headed monster of Thomas Tate (Staunton, Va./Robert E. Lee) and McKenzie led the Eagles to 149 yards on the ground. McKenzie barreled for a game-high 77 yards, while Tate chipped in 62 yards in the win.
On the receiving end, Beiler hauled in eight passes for 156 yards and a score. On the year, Beiler has 999 yards, needing just 29 yards in the final two games to become the single-season receiving yardage leader.
Defensively, senior T.J. Montague (Reston, Va./South Lakes) led the way with nine tackles. With his nine stops, Montague moved into 16th on the career tackles list.
Emory & Henry was led on the ground by Caleb Jennings' 46-yard afternoon.
Through the air, Beck was 17-of-32 for 187 yards and a score.
On the receiving end, Anthony Sims led the way with four catches for 64 yards.
Defensively, Woods led the way with 15 tackles. The Wasps had three players with double-digit tackles.
Bridgewater outgained the Wasps by a 384-to-297 tally and owned a 34:18-to-25:42 margin in time of possession.
Third downs were key for the Eagles as the Bridgewater defense held Emory & Henry to 3-of-12 on third down, while Eagles were 6-of-11.
Bridgewater is back in action next Saturday when the squad travels to Randolph-Macon. Action from Ashland, Va. is slated for a 1:00 p.m. start.

Samsung Galaxy S Duos Pictures
The Galaxy S Duos looks just like the Samsung Galaxy S III, but - of course - it has far less capable internal parts. For starters, the screen will be smaller, at 4 inches rather than 4.8" and with a resolution of 480x800 pixels. The phone will luckily run on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. It will have 512MB of RAM and 4 gigs of internal storage.

In 1630 Charles I granted to some of his followers that part of America which extended "from Virginia to Florida and westward to the Great Ocean." West Florida was from 1682 until 1763 a part of the French colony of Louisiana. At the end of the French and Indian War, Britain received the Spanish colony of Florida and a portion of the French colony of Louisiana lying between the Mississippi and Perdido rivers and north of Lake Pontchartrain. The British organized this territory into the provinces of East Florida and West Florida. West Florida was bounded by the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain in the west, by the 31st parallel on the north and the Apalachicola River on the east. The British capital of West Florida was in Pensacola. Britain gained control of Florida in 1763 as part of the Treaty of Paris (1763) in exchange for Havana, Cuba, which the British had captured from Spain during the Seven Years' War (1756-1763). This treaty also established the principal of toleration for Catholics in the newly Anglican British West Florida (article XX of the treaty). Spain evacuated Florida after the exchange, leaving the province virtually empty. At that time, St. Augustine was still a garrison community with fewer than five hundred houses, and Pensacola also was a small military town.
The British had ambitious plans for Florida. British surveyors mapped much of the landscape and coastline and tried to develop relations with a group of Indian people who were moving into the area from the North. The British called these people of Creek Indian descent Seminolies, or Seminoles. Britain attempted to attract white settlers by offering land on which to settle and help for those who produced products for export.
Proclamation of 1763The proclamation also established or defined four new colonies, three of them on the continent proper. Quebec, which was of course already well settled, two colonies to be called East Florida and West Florida and off the continent, Grenada. These facts were established immediately, but most of the proclamation is devoted to the subject of Indians and Indian lands. It asserted that all of the Indian peoples were thereafter under the protection of the King. It required that all lands within the "Indian territory" occupied by Englishmen were to be abandoned. It included a list of prohibited activities, provided for enforcement of the new laws, and indicted unnamed persons for fraudulent practices in acquiring lands from the Indians in times past. Resolution of the hostilities of the French and Indian War was a difficult problem for the Crown. Most of the Indian tribes had been allied with the French during the war. In this proclamation the King sided with the Indians. Moreover, it provided, and Parliament soon after executed, British royal posts along the proclamation boundary. The English were interested in improving the fur trade, which involved the Indians and independent trappers who lived out on the frontier.
Charlsie Russell (An Ardent Anti-Seditionist) published this interesting article on Trade in the new Colony of British West Florida (during the First Restoration Period 1763-1783).
In 1767, the British moved the northern boundary to a line extending from the mouth of the Yazoo River east to the Chattahoochee River (32.28 north latitude), consisting of approximately the lower third of the present American States of Mississippi and Alabama.
In 1768, His Majesty, King George the Third, with the Parliament Assembled created the Office of Secretary of State for the Colonies. The aim of this action was to allow a more focused approach to the American Colonies. The creation of this office was seen by the Loyal Colonies of the North which became the Dominion of Canada, and the Southern Colonies of East and West Florida, and Greneda as proof that the King was aware of their special status and needs. Unfortunately it was seen by the unstable Middle 13 as a subterfuge. The efforts of His Majesty's government to maintain order and stability in the colonies ultimately failed.
The events of 1776 and followingIt may be difficult for us to realize the mind-set of the Dominion of British Florida in 1776, but is seems pretty clear that its heart did not swell with admiration upon reading Thomas Jefferson's petulant letter to His Brittanic Majesty, King George the Third. When news came of the Declaration, an angry mod gathered in St Augustin'es public square to announce its displeasure with the reasonous colonies. They burned the lieknesses of John Adams and John Hancock in effigy. In 1778 the colony of West Florida issued a proclamation declaring, "We hold in abhorrence the present unnatural and unparalleled rebillion raging in our neighboring colonies, with its leaders and abettors." 1778 was also the year of Carlisle Peace Commission, which was authorized by His Majesty King George III, and the Parliament of London to offer what would later be termed 'Dominion Status' to the Colonies. Under the Carlisle Commission Peace Plan, the colonies would have been granted local self-government, representation in Parliament, and retained King George III as Soveriegn. The present Government of British West Florida operates in the spirit of the Carlisle Commission.
As the Revolutionary War dragged on, both Floridas became problematic for His Majesty. In 1781, the Kingdom of Spain entered the war, and soon captured Pensacola. British loyalists who flocked to Florida during the Revolution were then forced to leave, and the Spanish inherited large plantations that the British had worked so hard to cultivate.
Pinckney's Treaty, also known as the Treaty of San Lorenzo or the Treaty of Madrid, was signed in San Lorenzo de El Escorial on October 27, 1795 and established intentions of friendship between the United States and Spain. It also defined the boundaries of the U.S. with the Spanish colonies and guaranteed U.S. navigation rights on the Mississippi River. The treaty's full title is Treaty of Friendship, Limits, and Navigation Between Spain and the United States. Thomas Pinckney negotiated the treaty for the U.S and Don Manuel de Godoy represented Spain.
The treaty was proposed to the U.S. Senate on February 26, 1796 and ratified by the U.S. on March 7, 1796. It was ratified by Spain on April 25, 1796 and ratifications were exchanged on that date. The treaty was proclaimed on August 2, 1796.
By terms of the treaty, Spain and the U.S. agreed that the southern boundary of the U.S. with the Spanish Colonies of East and West Florida was a line beginning on the Mississippi River at the 31st degree north latitude drawn due east to the middle of the Chattahoochee River and from there along the middle of the river to the junction with the Flint River and from there straight to the headwaters of the St. Marys River and from there along the middle of the channel to the Atlantic Ocean. This describes the original border of the Colony of West Florida and the current boundary between the Dominion of British West Florida Proper and the Crown Lands in the American States of Alabama and Mississipi. The portion of British West Florida between this line and the Old Border (1767) is reserved as Crown Lands for the use of Native Peoples. The Dominion considers all persons resident at the time of its reassertion of Sovereignty to be Native Peoples.
Return of Sovereignty to the British Crown, and the Events after Napoleon.In 1808 The Spanish King (Charles IV of Spain) and his son (Ferdinand VII), under threat of French arms, were removed from power and replaced by Napoleon's brother Joseph. It was at this time our historians and legal advisors tell us that Sovereignty over Florida reverted to the King George the Third (See Governor Skipwith's Speach of 1810), King of the Untied Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. (King George was King of the Untied Kingdom of Great Britain when the Treaty granting Florida was signed, Ireland was added to the Empire in 1801). The actions of any other Government are deemed Null and Void with regard to the Dominion of British Florida, and the Dominion of British West Florida in particular denies the effectiveness of any Treaty or Order issued by any other Sovereign.
Second Restoration Effort.In 1810, the Loyal British Subjects, in conjunction with newly arrived persons from the United States of America rebelled against the Spanish Occupation. An Indpendent Republic of West Florida existed for Seventy-Four days (23 September - 10 December). Unfortunately, Governor Fulwar Skipwith (Himself a Citizen of the United States) was forced, by American Arms to accept occupation by the United States. The Annexation by Proclamation of the United States President James Madison was and is illegal, and of no moral standing. The people of the Dominion of British West Florida have and will continue to reject any and all attempts by Foreign Powers to take Our Nation by Proclamation or Force of Arms.
The unlawful annexation of the terriroty of the Dominion of British West Florida, known at that time as the Republic of West Florida, was completed by force of arms in 1813 when the future United States President, Gen. Andrew Jackson took Pensacola and drove out the British, with whom the United States was at war. The United States government continued to use excessive force against British Citizens in East Florida (at that time under Spanish Protection), even to the point of murdering British Citizens under the cover of the First Seminole War (1816-1818).
The United States government recognized its responsibilities to Spain, and paid under the Florida Purchase Treaty $5,000,000.00 to Spain for the territories of East and West Florida. No mention is ever made of the United States Recognizing its Duty to the Republic of West Florida, or the Citizens.
Slavery was abolished throught the British Empire during the reign of William the Fourth (1830-1837). Durung his reign it could truly be said that in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, all men where Free Subjects of a Constitutional Monarch. The detestable, and barbaric practice of hereditary human slavery would continue in our neighboring American States for a generation.
Third Restoration Effort
At present, the government is working to rectify certain matters of Sovereignty and Recognition following upon the Treaty of Verseille of 1783. Particular care should be placed on the wording of the surrender of Florida to the King and kingdom of Spain. The transfer of Florida to France by the Spanish, was not legal nor binding and would not have prevented the return of Florida to Britain following the fall of the Royal House of Spain under the French Marshal Joachim Murat. When Napoleon's brother was placed on the Spanish Throne in 1808, Spain lost all legal rights to British West Florida, which had been given to Spain's Rightful King.
As part of our Third Restoration effort, we invite all interested parties to review this web site, and after taking the Oath, to become Citizens of the Dominion of British West Florida.
In November 2005, the Third Restoration Effort began using the WWW to publicize the Dominion of British West Florida, its aims, and claims to Sovereignty. This effort was intended to encourage and motivate the People of the Dominion of British West Florida to participate more actively in their Government and to seek the recognition of other existing nations. This effort has had some success.

Editor's note: This is one of seven 2014 marketing outlooks, the AgWeb.com editors are providing to help you succeed and be profitable in the coming year. Please check back each Monday for another outlook.
If you're storing soybeans, you might want to empty your bins soon—prices could gradually tumble as 2014 approaches.
If you didn't sell soybeans right off the combine this fall, you might want to consider emptying your bins soon. Prices could easily tumble as we move toward spring and early summer. "Nearby futures of $12.75 have come down but they're still at a good place for producers," says Chad Hart, ag economist at Iowa State University. "That's still more than $1 above average production costs."
"The market is saying to sell," he says. Expect gradual price deterioration from now through 2014, he adds, noting that old-crop soybeans are an inverted market with little upside potential. Because of that, he doesn't expect current levels to hold; deferred months deeply discounted. A major departure from what the market is telling producers right now would require a supply or demand surprise that analysts don't see in their crystal balls.
Hart is in good company as most analysts have their feet firmly planted in the bearish camp. "For old crop, prices are likely to continually grind lower, down $1.50 or so from current levels," says Darrel Good, University of Illinois ag economist. "By February, I'd want downside risk covered," he adds. "The bulk of Chinese buying is now behind us." Perhaps most important, Brazil and Argentina have planted a record number of soybean acres and the crop is off to a good start.
With the odds favoring a combination of record South American and U.S. production in 2014, it would require major weather scares to push prices over $13/bu. For farmers wanting to protect the upside just in case the unexpected happens, one strategy Hart likes is this: sell old-crop soybeans in the cash market, then re-own with call options. For producers wanting to put on price protection but for tax reasons don't want additional income on the books for 2013, he suggests buying call options but storing soybeans until the New Year.
Fast forwarding to next year's crop, November 2014 soybean futures are presently about $1.25 lower than old crop. "That might not be enough," Good says. "We could see price erosion of 50 to 60 cents on the November contract."
Because of that, it makes sense to price at least some 2014 sales on rallies, he says. "But I would not be aggressively sold," Good adds. "The South American crop is not made yet." Not expecting an immediate price crash for new crop futures beyond what already has occurred, Good does not see a high level of additional downside risk between now and March 1. This provides producers a little better than a three-month pricing window. "It all depends on how fast futures come down," Good says.
One market strategy producers can consider is to wait until crop insurance level guarantees are announced, based off November 2014 futures during February. "Crop insurance may allow producers to have a significant amount of downside risk covered," Good says. Another strategy is to protect downside risk with put options at the same time producers lock in their inputs. That protects a margin on at least a portion of production, Hart says.
The good news for soybeans is the demand side. USDA forecasts exports of 1.45 billion bushels for the current marketing year. "That's not quite a record, but still very strong," Hart says. Not only that, domestic soybean crush has also marched higher. "It's just that supplies are going up faster than demand," he explains.
One macro factor influencing soybean prices is other oils, particularly palm oil. "Palm oil is keeping a lid on how high soybeans can go," Hart says. From 2009 to 2013, global palm oil production increased 26%. Production in Indonesia, the world's largest producer, is up 41%, as producers there have been planting more trees for the perennial crop, in part to meet rising demand from Europe. It's not only there. "We're starting to see an uptick in palm oil imports into the U.S.," Good notes. This, combined with a slowdown in soybean meal exports, "is part of the overall decline in prices," he says.
This isn't the only bearish factor for demand. Another is the reduction of biodiesel targets from Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) mandates in a proposed rule by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mid-November. The move is part of an overall reduction of bioenergy mandates, following heavy lobbying by oil companies. EPA has proposed to set 2014 biodiesel volumes at 1.28 billion gallons while reducing the overall advanced biofuels requirement to 2.2 billion gallons. The biodiesel category is a subset of the advanced biofuels category.
Biodiesel production is on track to set a record of 1.7 billion gallons this year. However, because 2013 production can be carried over for mandate compliance into 2014, the proposed rule that freezes biodiesel production at 1.28 billion gallons for the next two years could mean an effective market closer to 1 billion gallons. "This proposal, if it becomes final, would create a shrinking market and likely cause biodiesel plants to close around the country," says Anne Steckel, vice president of federal affairs for the National Biodiesel Board.

Q&A with Head Coach Charity Elliott
Related Links
By all accounts, the Charity Elliott era of UC San Diego Women's Basketball has been a rousing success. Entering the 2011-12 season, Elliott had a career mark of 97-31 in La Jolla, four consecutive 20-win seasons, a pair of CCAA Championships and three NCAA Playoff appearances. Her fifth year at the helm may well turn out to be the best yet. With a perfect record after 20 games, the Tritons have ascended to the top of the national rankings for the first time in history. A graduate of Missouri State (formerly Southwest Missouri State), where she played on the Bears' 1992 NCAA D-I Final Four squad, Elliott has been a perfect fit at UC San Diego. With a Spirit Night clash against fast-rising Cal State L.A., the CCAA's third place team, looming Friday, Elliott took time to discuss the evolution of this year's team, its senior leaders and her coaching career.
Q-What's been the most surprising thing you've experienced since the team attained the No. 1 national ranking?
ELLIOTT-I think the attention to our program and the interest from the community has been the biggest surprise. It's been really nice to see these kids get some recognition for their efforts.
Q-How has your team adjusted to all of the ancillary attention that comes with being ranked No. 1?
ELLIOTT-We've tried to keep things very consistent and have tried to remain focused on what has led to our success. We've talked a lot about "our standards" and keeping our blinders on to everything else that's going on.
Q-Your team is 20-0 right now. Last year, the team lost its first six games before righting things, finishing 20-10 but missing out on the NCAA Playoffs. What's the biggest difference between this year and last?
ELLIOTT-I think the experience we gained from those tough losses last year and the fact that we missed out on the NCAA tourney for the first time has been our main motivation for this season. We also have some individuals whose growth as basketball players over the course of the off-season has taken this entire program to a new and higher level.
Q-As a coach, what did you learn from last year and how did it affect your approach to this season?
ELLIOTT- Last year was one of the proudest of my coaching career, believe it or not. We started out 0-6 and could have ended up in the tank. But, that team would not allow that to happen. We had six freshmen that had to grow up in a hurry and our returners had to learn how to lead through difficulties and how much effort it takes to be successful. After those first six games, we went 20-4....the growth and maturation of that team was unbelievable to me. Now, this group has lived through adversity and we continue to use those lessons and refer to last year quite often.
Q-Obviously, the goals every season are first a CCAA title and then an NCAA Championship. How realistic are those objectives this year and what is the most important priority for your team from this point on?
ELLIOTT-Our priority every day is to remain focused on the things that have led to our success so far this season. We need to not get caught up in what other people are saying and just stay true to our standards.
Q-When it comes to undefeated teams playing a lengthy schedule one school of thought subscribes to the notion that it's better to lose a game along the way. How do you feel about that?
ELLIOTT-To me, whether you win or lose, it's important to learn lessons from each game and that's what we're trying to do. We've had several wins that we have treated as losses and have been able to learn a tremendous amount from those games. Our goal has never been to be undefeated...our goal is to keep improving and to stay focused on our expectations and the results will take care of themselves.
Q-This year's Tritons are lead by the strong senior core of Chelsea Carlisle, Daisy Feder and Lauren Freidenberg. What does each bring to the team and what is the one word that best describes each one?
ELLIOTT-Those three are just priceless to this team and this program. In their four years, they have experienced so many highs and lows and that is what I believe has enabled them to be leading so amazingly well this season.
Chelsea is so steady and is truly my extension on the floor. She leads both by words and action and has the unmatched trust of her teammates. One Word: STEADY
Daisy has been through so much to get to this point and I'm so happy and proud of her. She is a tremendous competitor and just loves this game and will do whatever she has to do to help this team. One word: RELENTLESS
Lauren is a natural leader and the passion behind our team. She is such a perfectionist and has grown so much in her time here. Her freshman year she was able to learn from some great post players (Alexis Gaskin and Michelle Osier) and she used that time to watch and learn. Every year her commitment to improve and work has led her to become one of the premier posts in our conference and the voice of this team. One word: FIRE
Q-What is the most gratifying thing about being a head coach at UC San Diego?
ELLIOTT-I love working with young ladies who are passionate about life and all areas of their life...in the classroom, on the court, for their future and for society. I also love working in an environment surrounded by other coaches and administrators who are all working to be excellent in their work!
Q-In season, what's a typical day in the life of Charity Elliott?
ELLIOTT-During the season, my day is full of watching film, preparing practice and getting ready for our next opponent as well as trying to take the pulse of our team and determine what they need on that particular day or week.
Q-You're pretty vocal on the sidelines. What role do you feel the head coach should play and where do you feel a coach has the most impact during a game?
ELLIOTT-I think coaches have to stay within their personality and I can't help but get excited in practice and in games. To me, teaching occurs in practice...games are for making minor adjustments.
Q-Who have been some of your coaching mentors? Do you still stay in contact with them? Outside of sports, who do you admire?
ELLIOTT-My coaching mentors include Cheryl Burnett, my coach at Southwest Missouri State (now Missouri State) . She is now retired from coaching but we keep in pretty close contact and she's the one if I want to run something by someone, I'd call. Beth Burns, at SDSU, is another mentor. She gave me my first college coaching job and has always been willing to give me wisdom! Outside of sports, I admire people who stand for their convictions and don't waver based upon popular opinion.
Q-You have an outstanding group of colleagues on the coaching staff at UC San Diego. What have you learned from other coaches here and what's the best thing you've been able to take from watching one of them?
ELLIOTT-This group of coaches at UCSD is just amazing! They are so talented and committed to excellence and I've learned so much from so many of them. I think talking with Patti Gerckens (head softball coach) and watching her truly enjoy every day has had a significant impact on me and how I'm approaching this year.
Q-As a player, you were part of a Final Four team at Southwest Missouri State. What impact did playing collegiate basketball and reaching the Final Four have on your life?
ELLIOTT-I believe I had one of the most amazing experiences as a student-athlete and that experience has shaped and defined me as a coach to this day. My desire for my team is that they too will have lasting memories and lasting relationships from their time in this program. I learned so much about adversity, success, teamwork, and excellence as a player and those are some of the things that I hope to pass on. My senior year, we had a team of very unspectacular, unselfish, hard workers who achieved more than anyone thought possible...
Q-What's it like having your husband, Chris, on the coaching staff with you?
ELLIOTT-It works because we get along so well...he knows what I expect and knows what I most need to be at my best. I feel so blessed to have him and Alexis (Mezzetta) on my staff. We laugh so much and it just makes coming to work every day so enjoyable. Sure, we have our days where all three of us get irritated, but I couldn't ask for a more loyal, supportive and fun staff to work with!
Q-Away from coaching and away from basketball, what kind of interests do you have? If you had to work outside of sports, where would it be?
ELLIOTT-I think if I weren't coaching, I'd be either teaching history (I love history) or working with animals. I am a history fanatic and am constantly reading biographies on the early leaders of this country or books on different wars or eras in the world. We can all learn so much from the successes and mistakes of those who have gone before us. And I love animals, so I think I could be very happy working with them on a daily basis too.
Other interests I have....during the off-season, I'll be preparing to run my second La Jolla Half-Marathon. Chris and I have been on several mission trips with our church and I'm involved in the FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) group here on campus. We also love to travel!
Q-What are your three all-time favorite movies?
ELLIOTT-"The Notebook", "Remember the Titans" and "Bridesmaids."
Q-If you were writing the script for the last two months of the 2011-12 season, how would it go?
ELLIOTT- I can't think that far ahead...I just want to have a good practice tomorrow! :)

Hand knit washcloths knit up quickly and make a great gift when packaged with some yummy soap. They are sturdy and scrubby and can also be used for dish washing. I use Sugar n' Cream cotton yarn for my washcloths. It's washable, comes in loads of colors and it's cheap! This Double Bump pattern is my favorite because it comes out nice and square.
Add a ribbon and a nice handmade soap and you have a simple but lovely gift that anyone would be sure to enjoy.

Mississippi River Water Quality and the Clean Water Act: Progress, Challenges and Opportunities (October 2007)Report in Brief
The Mississippi River is, in many ways, the nation's best known and most important river system. Mississippi River water quality is of paramount importance for sustaining the many uses of the river including drinking water, recreational and commercial activities, and support for the river's ecosystems and the environmental goods and services they provide. The Clean Water Act, passed by Congress in 1972, is the cornerstone of surface water quality protection in the United States, employing regulatory and nonregulatory measures designed to reduce direct pollutant discharges into waterways. The Clean Water Act has reduced much pollution in the Mississippi River from "point sources" such as industries and water treatment plants, but problems stemming from urban runoff, agriculture, and other "non-point sources" have proven more difficult to address. This report concludes that too little coordination among the 10 states along the river has left the Mississippi River an "orphan" from a water quality monitoring and assessment perspective. Stronger leadership from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is needed to address these problems. Specifically, the EPA should establish a water quality data-sharing system for the length of the river, and work with the states to establish and achieve water quality standards. The Mississippi River corridor states also should be more proactive and cooperative in their water quality programs. For this effort, the EPA and the Mississippi River states should draw upon the lengthy experience of federal-interstate cooperation in managing water quality in the Chesapeake Bay.
