This summer we're smoothie-obsessed. We're ditching high-sugar drinks and chemical-laden sips in favor of bursting-with-vitamins smoothies.
In our June issue, we enlisted smoothie queen Tess Masters (the chef behind the wildly popular blog the Blender Girl) to teach us how to create her Tastes-Like-Ice-Cream Kale Smoothie, her spin on a top-selling recipe by her friends at SunCafe in Los Angeles. Superstar kale, which is loaded with cancer-fighting antioxidants, oxygen-producing iron, and bone-strengthening vitamin K, makes it as healthy as a bowl of greens, while bananas, cashews, and dates render it as indulgent as dessert. You can even freeze your leftovers for later!
Masters adds digestion-friendly probiotic powder (try one from bewellbydrfranklipman.com) to the mix: "It counteracts the acidity and the sugar content," she says.
Need an extra oomph? Add a tablespoon of avocado oil, which is rich in healthy fats that help regulate blood-cholesterol levels—terrific for your heart!
Read on for the delicious smoothie recipe that will make drinking your salad taste as good as ice cream.

Building on the success of its iPad app, Zite is rolling out a new iPhone-optimized version of its personalized news app today.
Zite lets you build a custom digital magazine by pulling in shared links from bookmarking and social sites, such as Twitter, Google Reader, Delicious and Read It Later. It then builds a personalized selection of articles based on activity from your social profiles. Unlike most of its competitors, Zite learns your reading habits by giving you voting buttons for each piece of content. The idea is to give you more of what you actually want to see without having to disregard all the boring and/or uninteresting stuff.
"A lot of services, like Twitter (for example), suffer from giving you too much information if you follow lots of sources or not enough if you follow just a few," Zite CEO Mark Johnson told VentureBeat. "I call it the Goldilocks Problem. It's either too much or not enough." Logically, that would make Zite the just right amount of information, according to the classic fairy tale story.
Initially, I assumed many of the user interface elements from Zite's iPad app would get lost in translation of the iPhone's smaller screen, but that isn't the case. The experience of reading news is just as enjoyable, especially during idle moments throughout the day (standing in line, boring meetings, waiting for the bus, etc.).
The biggest change in the iPhone version is the app's navigation. Since side bars aren't practical for the smaller screen, the news sections are displayed at the top. Switching between news sections is done by swiping the section name horizontally, which is nice if you only have one hand free. Articles from each section are arranged in a vertical stack with thumbnails that help break up the text.
Earlier this week, Zite competitor Flipboard also launched an iPhone version of its popular iPad app. The launch was so successful that it actually crashed the Flipboard service for a time. Clearly, people like the idea of a customized digital magazine even if it's a fraction of the size. Johnson said that isn't much of a surprise, as a Zite iPhone app was the most requested feature from users.
One thing you won't find in both the iPhone and iPad Zite apps is advertising. The company does have plans to integrate advertising, but not until the ad spots are useful/relevant to the user and don't distract from the overall experience, Johnson said. However, he is optimistic about generating revenue through branded channels, which aggregate news related to the brand's expertise and help promote its own blog posts. The Zite recently launched its first branded channel partnership with health and fitness retailer Lululemon. The channel is also ad-free and requires opting-in to see its curated content.
Founded in March 2011, the San Francisco-based company was acquired in August by broadcast news organization CNN for over $20 million . Zite faces a growing number of competitors, including Flipboard, Editions by AOL, Yahoo's unreleased Livestand and recently launched Google Currents.

Tim from Clear Lake, WI
Vic, what's more important, a third-string QB or a sixth WR that can also play special teams?
That's the wrong perspective. You don't shape a roster by asking that kind of question. You shape a roster by determining who your best 53 players are, and then doing what's necessary to retain those players. It almost always means using the practice squad as a reservoir of talent, and early in the season the practice squad is a secure place to store talent because all teams are trying to do the same and it's not until late in the season that the teams out of playoff contention begin moving veterans to injured reserve and signing players off other teams' practice squad, as a means of getting a head start on next season. If it comes down to a third quarterback or a sixth wide receiver, you keep the better player, but you also have to consider what player would be more likely to not be signed off your practice squad. The league is full of wide receivers, but quarterbacks are always at a premium. If you have a good one, keep him.
John from South Milwaukee, WI
Vic, I was watching a game recently and the tight end was called for an illegal formation. Could you please explain what makes a formation illegal?
He was probably covered by a wide receiver, which means one of the two players was supposed to line up behind the line of scrimmage and didn't get the memo. Only the player at the end (or outside) of the formation is an eligible pass receiver. If the tight end is covered, then he's a tackle, so to speak, but he's not wearing a tackle's number.
Jeff from Las Vegas, NM
Vic, how much does the round in which a rookie is drafted affect his ability to make the team?
It matters. It has to matter. You don't invest high picks in guys on the basis of a one-month tryout. Franco Harris and Fred Taylor are the best running backs I've ever covered. Based on their rookie training camps, they each should've been cut. They were terrible and there were whispers. They weren't cut and they went on to rush for 24,000 yards combined.
Tim from Normal, IL
Is Seattle that good or did the Bears lay an egg?
The Seahawks are good and they play hard. That is a proud football team.
How do we stop the run?
By using the young talent this team has drafted to stop the run.
Taylor from Fort Dodge, IA
Vic, I need your help to settle a debate. For any Green Bay fan we are the 13-time world champions. I have had the debate multiple times that the championships are equal to but not the same as a Super Bowl championship. What is your opinion on this matter?
Each league title was won when winning that title was the best a team could achieve. Were the other teams in the league trying to win the title that year? Yes. End of debate.
Vic, with Tretter and Raji out, I know the fans are hurting. How badly hurt is the Packers team?
It doesn't help. Losing
Nate from Fort Collins, CO
Vic, do you think the NFL would be OK with hardcore football fans becoming casual fans as the points head upward and the hard hitting lessens? Can the sport survive from a base of only casual fans?
Great question. Great, great question. Here's my answer: No. I hope somebody on the competition committee reads your question and my answer.
Is it perverse of me to feel excited about my own team's players getting injured because I get to see if the next man up can really step up?
That's the right attitude to have. If Linsley steps up and becomes a dependable center, then the Packers will have an excess of talent at the position when Tretter returns to health.
Brett from Green Bay, WI
Vic, with Tretter's injury, do you think Rodgers will play more on Thursday than he would have, to get some game reps with Linsley?
Brett, you did it again. On the first day back from a one-week ban, you ask the best question of the day – no gas card this time. Here's another way to ask it: Do you want to go to Seattle with Rodgers never having taken a snap in a game from Corey Linsley? You da man, Brett.
Shay from Hattiesburg, MS
The Packers defense is ranked third throughout the preseason so far. Should we be excited?
I can't imagine a stat more meaningless than a preseason ranking, but the defense has played well and that's encouraging. Hold the excitement until the regular season, but be encouraged.
Michael from Stillwater, OK
Vic, I wasn't nervous. I swear I wasn't. I have trained this summer under your tutelage to be a better fan. This was going to be a great season, with all the right pieces in place. Now, again, we seem to be losing important guys at important positions for long periods of time, and right before the season opener, no less. What can you tell me now that will stop the shaking and cold sweat?
Football should never be the cause of bad times. Worry should be reserved for life. This is a chance for you to impress yourself with your calm.
Alex from Acworth, GA
Vic, which is the bigger blow, Raji or Tretter?
I think everyone's immediate worry is for the relationship between the center and quarterback, and that's why the loss of Tretter is more unsettling. You want your quarterback to focus on the defense, not the snap of the ball.
Nick from Cedar Rapids, IA
The injuries are a shame, but 12 is still upright. Enough said.
The Packers won a Super Bowl with a significant chunk of the team on injured reserve, but couldn't win a game last November without
James from New Brunswick, NJ
If I wasn't convinced before, I am now that the preseason should be shortened.
I'm strongly anti-preseason. It bothers me that players are being lost for the season to injuries in games for which they don't even get a game check. If I was a coach, I would strongly consider not playing my starters until the final preseason game, and then only for a quarter. For me, the season is all about December. Just get to December in playoff contention and with a healthy team whose arrow is pointing due north. I fail to see how the preseason helps a team in December.
Franklin from La Crosse, WI
If anybody asks or suggests the Packers place Tretter on the PUP list, would you please ban them?
Yes, I will.
Erik from Madison, WI
It seems almost karmic after a lot of articles came out last week regarding the new training methods, for the Packers to get hit with a brigade of injuries. Do you believe taking away hitting and practices contributes?
In other words, the more they don't hit, the more they get hurt. Illogical, right? I'm lost for an explanation.
Colin from Milwaukee, WI
Did you happen to see Starks lower his head and deliver a blow with the crown of the helmet? No flag was thrown. I guess they are too busy enforcing illegal contact. I'm glad they didn't throw a flag. I very much dislike that rule.
I hate that rule. It's the worst rule in the history of the world. Maybe that's why they don't call it.
Yancey from Richlands, VA
Kurt Warner used "we" when addressing the situation with Sam Bradford. He said we don't know what we are going to do yet.
He's only hurting himself. The viewer hears it. You heard it and it obviously bothered you.
Brian from Gurnee, IL
Vic, well looks like injuries are a problem again. At what point will you agree something isn't working and someone needs to be held accountable?
Brian, you're making yourself look foolish with that kind of attitude. Who do you want to blame for major injuries? These aren't turf toe injuries that you could blame on the turf being too hard, or muscle strains you could blame on a lack of scientific research. It's football, you WILL get hurt. It's not if, it's when. That's why I'm so anti-preseason. It's impossible to play four football games of any kind without injuries occurring. It's just a roll of the dice as to what player or players will sustain injury.

'The Vampire Diaries' Recap: Betrayal Wins the Day

The Vampire Diaries
mid-season finale definitely shook up relationships in Mystic Falls. "O Come, All Ye Faithful" had plenty of betrayals, failed plans, and heartbreak. The quest for a vampirism cure is still on track or is it? With so many secrets, it's difficult to know whether people are telling the truth or doing what needs to be done for their own agenda.
Tyler's Plan Goes Bust
What the heck was Tyler thinking? In order to give the Hybrids time to escape, he was going to switch bodies with Klaus and entomb himself in concrete? I'm sorry, but that was a stupid plan. And, it makes no sense for him to risk his life like that for the other Hybrids.
There's been no build up of loyalty between them to justify his plan. The only explanation is that Hayley put him up to it and because of their bond, he went along with it. But, then again, she had her own agenda all along.
Klaus Goes on a Killing Spree
Was Klaus in on the plan with Hayley and Shane the whole time? Or, did Hayley tell Klaus the Hybrids were un-sired and he just went ballistic and killed them? This could have been played out a little more clearly.
Based on Klaus's speech about loneliness to Stefan, I lean towards the second especially since Tyler's plan revolved around Klaus killing the Hybrids if he found out they were un-sired. If that's the case, Shane and Hayley had to take a leap of faith that Klaus would sacrifice all 12 of the Hybrids.
Though, that creates another question. Shane wanted the Hybrids sacrificed to unlease an evil power. Assuming that happens, how does he plan on gaining that power for himself unless Klaus is working with him. Very confusing.
Damon Lets Elena Go, But Too Late
Damon struggled with his decision to let Elena go. While he knew it was the right thing to do for her and his brother, it also was painful for him and Elena too. Even though he waited a day to release her, he never slept with her or took advantage of her after he knew she was sired to him.
Despite that, Damon's delay is going to cause an even greater strain between the Salvatore brothers. I understand why Caroline allowed Stefan to figure out what happened between Damon and Elena, but it's unfortunate since she doesn't know the full story.
If the Elena's feelings for Damon remain, then what comes next for her? She's not going to run back into Stefan's arms. She got into the car to leave because of the sire bond, not because she didn't still love Damon.
The only way to resolve this is to find a way to truly break the sire bond. If that's not possible, then perhaps Damon can use the bond to give her free will.
At the End of the Night, Tragedy Struck
Klaus not only killed the Hybrids, he took out his anger at Tyler on Mayor Lockwood. He has no one left and is all alone, so he wanted Tyler to feel that same isolation. Though, Tyler still has Caroline, right? Or, will the devastation of the night pull her away from him too?
Plus, there is a new wrinkle: April knows about everything; he saw the dead Hybrids and staked Rebekah. At least her search for Rebekah is over. What will she do with this information? It will be intriguing to see what comes next now that a new outsider knows the secret of Mystic Falls.
A Hunter to Train and a "Cure" to Find
With Bonnie's help, Jeremy was able to learn to control his killer instinct. The two of them were an amazing pair when they were together and neither has found love since. It would be incredible if they were to find their way back to each other.
Now that Damon has released Elena, he needs to keep his distance and what better way than to train Jeremy. It's odd that a vampire is going to train a vampire hunter, but whatever, it works.
With Damon's help, it won't be long before Jeremy's tattoo is complete and they can find their way to Silas and the cure for vampirism. Shane "says" that if they dig up the grave they will find a cure to end a vampire's immortal life.
I'm a little concerned that Damon and Elena are so trusting of Shane about this. If it ends immortality, why do they think it will turn them back into mortal humans? Couldn't it mean the death of vampires rather than a cure for vampirism?
They better be careful. Shane knows more than he is saying and with the Hybrid sacrifice plot taking form, his motives should be suspect.
What do you think Shane has planned? Will Stefan and Damon be able to get over Elena? What will Tyler do now? And, is April going to be a threat or will she become an ally?

How to Travel Between Spain & Sicily
Sicily is the island at the tip of Italy's "boot" and is only about 50 miles off the coast of North Africa. Travel options to Sicily from outside of Italy can be limited; most of the travel to and from the island occurs from major cities in Italy such as Milan, Rome, Genoa and Naples. Barcelona, on the eastern coast of Spain, is a convenient starting point for travel to Sicily, as it is a major travel hub and optimally located for a variety of transportation options to Italy. U.S. citizens will not need a visa to get into Spain or Italy, you will only need a valid passport.
Step 1
Travel by ferry. As of early 2011, the only ferry boats that travel to Sicily originate in either Italy or North Africa. However, a large number of ferries operate between Barcelona, Spain and connect to Sicilian ferries in either Civitavecchia, near Rome, or Genoa in northern Italy. From either Genoa or Civitavecchia, you'll have a wide variety of Sicilian ports to choose from, including Palermo, toward the northern end of the island, Catania in the east and Trapani in the west. Ferry boats can have luxurious accommodations, including cabins, bars, restaurants and other amenities. From Barcelona to Civitavecchia is just under 24 hours, and from Civitavecchia to Palermo is just under 15 hours.
Step 2
Fly to Sicily. Most commercial airlines offer international connecting service from major cities in Italy to Sicily. From Barcelona, you will likely need to catch a connecting flight in either Milan or Rome to Sicily. The major airports on the island are in Catania and Palermo, and flights from Barcelona will take between four and eight hours, depending on your connecting flights.
Step 3
Take a train. The European rail network is expansive and connects through major cities. From Barcelona, book passage to Milan, and from Milan to Palermo. Even though Sicily is an island, ferry boats carry trains across the Stretto di Messina and deposit them on rail tracks. Train travel from Barcelona to Milan takes just under 12 hours, and from Milan to Palermo between eight and 10 hours.
Step 4
Drive along the Mediterranean. The drive between Barcelona and Messina, Sicily is around 1,200 miles long and takes a coastal route along the Mediterranean through France. Driven straight through, the trip would take about 24 hours. Numerous car ferries can shuttle you across the Stretto di Messina to the island. If you are renting a car in Spain, check the rental agreement to make sure you are allowed to drive in France and Italy.

Advice on viewing and navigating the first three formats can be found in the How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation document. You are strongly advised to read this document if you wish to try the HTML format.
The two single file formats are more compact than the formats using one file per routine, but of course are a larger download if you only need to view the documentation for a few routines.
The Library is organized into Chapters – each being documented with its own Introduction and Contents list followed by a comprehensive document for each function detailing its purpose, description, list of parameters and possible error exits. Example programs and results are also supplied. All examples are available online to facilitate their use as templates for the users' calling programs.
The error bulletin contains a list of errors or other problems which are known to exist in the NAG C Library, along with suggested workarounds where possible.
The NAG C Library Manual - prior releases
The previous marks of the NAG C Library Manual are still available: Mark 9, Mark 23, Mark 24 and Mark 25.
Installer's Notes and Users' Notes
Support documentation for the installation and use of each implementation of the NAG C Library is available.

Services and Support
NAG's Technical Support Service is provided by a team of specialists in numerical and statistical software development, in fact the NAG Library and Compiler development team share responsibility for the support of our software. We strongly believe that in order to effectively support complex software the technicians must be both experienced and understand the intricacies of the computational techniques. This conviction is reflected in the composition of the team most of whom are qualified to PhD level and have combined experience of software support in excess of 50 years.
NAG provides accurate, documented, numerical software and services to help you make sure that your results are accurate. The validity of each NAG routine is tested for each platform that it is enabled for. Only when an implementation satisfies our stringent accuracy standards is it released. As a result, you can rely on the proven accuracy and reliability of NAG to give you the right answers. NAG is an ISO 9001 certified organization.
The numerical codes that underpin the results from your software are not future proof. While the mathematics does not change, the codes have a limited lifespan because of new hardware structures, mathematical innovation and changes in application needs.

My animation is going to take a little longer than expected
2013-02-07 18:47:17 by JakesTV
So the story is I'm sick and my voice sounds like crap, therefore I can't record any lines, it's horrible, plus I cough every 10 seconds, so it's gonna be a couple weeks until I can start recording my lines, maybe a bit less, but you get my point.

The Rayo coach didn't want to play at 5pm
Rayo Vallecano's coach, Paco Jémez, asserted that both teams had to come to an agreement on the timing of the match that was suspended on Sunday due to a problem with the lighting.
"First of all we had to find out when the electrical problem would be fixed. At the beginning it looked like it could be fixed quickly but the fault was more serious than expected. Then we had to look for a date and time, we all had to come to an agreement", he pointed out.
Jémez's first priority was the supporters. "The only thing I wanted was for us to play at a time the supporters could come and watch us. They're the ones who have been the most affected by what has happened so we had to find a time that was good for them", he commented.
"It wasn't because of the rain, cables had been cut. We don't know who it was, we'll have to carry out an investigation", the president of Rayo confirmed, commenting on the reason for the incident.
Cristina Cifuentes, delegate for the Government of Madrid, explained that "the teams wanted to play" and that everything possible was done for the match to take place.

6. Google BigQuery
Taking advantage of its core competency of processing humongous volumes of data, Google launched Google BigQuery, cloud software that businesses can use to analyze data in real time.
Google introduced a test version of the service for developers in November 2011, based on the technology the company uses to examine its own data. In May it began offering it to the general public, providing it for free for storing and querying up to 100 GB of data. After that the company is charging 12 cents per GB for up to 2 TB of storage and 3.5 cents per GB for analysis.

Wolves snag Cooreman
Posted: 22 May 2012 Time: 15:39
Warri Wolves have secured the services of Kaduna United coach Maurice Cooreman for the remainder of the season.
Cooreman replaces Paul Aigbogun, who has taken a sabbatical and returned to England for family reasons.
"The management of Warri Wolves have secured the services of Maurice Cooreman to stand in for Paul Aigbogun and lead the club in the remaining part of the season," Timi Ebikagboro, Media Manager o Warri Wolves said.
Cooreman was rumored to be heading off to join Kano Pillars following his unhappiness at unpaid wages at Kaduna.
But the widely-travelled Belgian would have surprised league watchers somewhat with this move.
He will start work on Tuesday, and is expected to guide Wolves through the league campaign and their quest for a continental trophy in the CAF Confederation Cup.

This card is for my grandmother. I miss her. So I made this card. For my grandmother. Because I miss her.
I forgot to mention: This is a photo of the entrance to the cemetrery where my grandmother was buried. It's really big, but nice, with lots of flowers. All the people at the church were really great. I think my grandmother would have liked the funeral. They told a story about her riding a bike off ramps and stuff. I cried straight through it anyway.
So that's my sad story.

Biogeography: An Ecological and Evolutionary Approach, 8th EditionMay 2010, ©2010
This new edition incorporates the exciting changes of the recent years, and presents a thoughtful exploration of the research and controversies that have transformed our understanding of the biogeography of the world.
It also clearly identifies the three quite different arenas of biogeographical research: continental biogeography, island biogeography and marine biogeography. It is the only current textbook with full coverage of marine biogeography.
It reveals how the patterns of life that we see today have been created by the two great Engines of the Planet - the Geological Engine, plate tectonics, which alters the conditions of life on the planet, and the Biological Engine, evolution, which responds to these changes by creating new forms and patterns of life.
Table of Contents
1 A History of Biogeography.
2 Patterns of Distribution.
3 Communities and Ecosystems.
4 Patterns of Biodiversity.
5 The Engines of the Planet I: Plate Tectonics.
6 The Engines of the Planet II:Evolution, the Source of Novelty.
7 From Evolution to Patterns of Life.
8 Life,Death,and Evolution on Islands.
9 Drawing Lines in the Water.
10 Living in the Past.
11 The Geography of Life Today.
12 Ice and Change.
13 The Advent of Humanity.
14 Into the Future.

Zero Assignment Parallel Processor. A virtual tree machine architecture in which a process tree is dynamically mapped onto a fixed, strongly connected network of processors communicating by message passing. The basic operation of each node is to apply a divide and conquer function which takes four arguments: (1) a function 'primitive' which takes a problem description (PD) and returns true if it can be solved without division, (2) a function 'solve' which takes a primitive PD and returns its solution, (3) a function 'divide' which takes a PD and returns a list of PDs of smaller problems and (4) a function 'combine' which returns the solution to a problem by combining a list of solutions of subproblems.
Each node has a copy of the code and one is given the initial problem description. Task distribution is by process stealing in which a process constructs a descriptor for each subtask and idle (lightly loaded) processors can steal a descriptor from a physically connected neighbour.
"Huh-huh," Golnik asserted weakly, and zapp grew purple with rage.
"I told you that silk was too good for them garments, Birsky," zapp cried.
zapp cried in alarm, "transfer back that five hundred dollars after what Feigenbaum tells us?"
zapp and me donate five hundred dollars to your rotten society!
Which of your operators do you consider is the strongest, Mr. zapp?
"Aber we are running our society on our own idees, Mr. Eschenbach," zapp said.
He rose to his feet and took off his hat and coat, preparatory to going over Birsky & zapp's sample line.
So, when them Roshoyim come in here, zapp, tell 'em to wait till I get back.
"We ain't got no such idee in our head at all," zapp assured him almost tearfully.
He swung his bat at a pebble that lay in his path and Birsky and zapp edged away.

Freshly Pressed: No pain, no gain… free food has its price
Posted by thebigfatnoodle on July 30, 2011 · 99 Comments
There are many, many reasons why I love living in the countryside but being able to forage for free food pretty much tops the list. One of the most abundant sources of said free food in mid/late summer is blackberries. They grow everywhere, even along the motorway. You don't really want to pick those though … Continue reading →

This documentary made by National Geographic is interesting, true to life and informative. The plot is based on the stories of 3 people traveling to Mecca to perform hajj. Preparations, troubles and religious insights of the Muslim professor from the States, black journalist from South Africa, and the businessman from Indonesia are disclosed during their journey to Mecca and their actions in Mecca. It was interesting to find some facts about the city, religious rituals. Racial problem. In one episode the black man even in Mecca suffers because of his color in Mecca in the tent of his countrymen, therefore he decides to leave it. Also it was interesting to see satellite photos, religious Western paintings associated with famous religious figures associated with Mecca, also comments by the religious which were used in this movie.

Chinese Dissident Chen.(Photo by: REUTERS/Bobby Yip)
China dissident Chen says officials must face justice
By REUTERS
Blind dissident insists his tormentors should be punished,says his relatives remain under threat, vows to keep up his campaign.
BEIJING, May 8 (Reuters) - Blind dissident Chen Guangcheng has demanded the central Chinese government punish officials he blames for false imprisonment and years of persecution, saying on Tuesday that relatives remain under threat despite the international uproar over him.
Chen, who wants to travel to the United States after saying he does not feel secure in China, said he remains committed to continuing the "rights defense" cause that brought him years of jail and house arrest and now international fame as a symbol of resistance to China's shackles on dissent.
"I think that at least (continuing) rights defense would be very natural," Chen said of his future in a telephone interview with Reuters from his hospital room in Beijing.
"Like when someone hits you, don't you flinch? I think that defending our rights is also a basic natural response," he added.
Chen's extensive comments on his plans and his demands swung between combativeness and frustration, underscoring the uncertainties that shadow him and his family, despite the United States turning his case into a top-level issue with China.
Chen plans to study in the United States under a deal struck between Beijing and Washington. US President Barack Obama's administration had feared a standoff over Chen's fate could sour ties with China and kindle criticism of Obama's policies.
But even once abroad, Chen said he will keep demanding that Beijing investigate officials in eastern Shandong province whom he accused of engineering his jailing on false charges and 19 months of extra-judicial house arrest and abuse.
"I think that no matter what I will continue demanding that the central government carries out a thorough investigation of Shandong," said Chen, recounting demands that he said he had made to a central official who visited him in hospital.
"I raised very specific demands about a series of steps - that Shandong has to be thoroughly investigated, that no matter who the official, no matter how high the official, no matter how many people are implicated, they must all be dealt with strictly according to the law," said Chen.
Chen said the central government official, whom he did not name, had promised to take up his accusations.
"He said that as long as the facts are there, it will be dealt with according to the national law and will be investigated and dealt with openly," Chen said of the official he spoke to on Monday. "That's the promise, but for now it's just a promise. There hasn't been any concrete action yet."

It is, I don't have to do anything at all. And all the people who matter will still think I'm the man and right about this, and still think of him as this misguided fool who is wrong.
And the best part isn't even people's opinions about anything.
It's that in the long run (or even short run) I'll just be right about this because it's never going to happened. Caribou will never join the crew.
No matter how many words he writes, no matter how many arguments he concocts. No matter how many flippant lazy posts I make, no matter if I never refute a thing.
He'll still be completely wrong in the end.
Ain't that a bitch?

As mentioned in our last report, we are continuing our efforts to provide clean water to the villages of the Nebaj Municipality. Our Project Team Professionals are working hard to complete the design of the water distribution system for the village of Visibakvitz.
The water distribution system includes a water pump, storage basin, piping, and in-home sinks. As with all of our projects, the village is contributing 10% of the cost of the project to demonstrate their desire for the system to be installed. Our NGO partner in Guatemala, Agua Para la Salud, will work with the village to establish a Water Board. EWB-JAX will contribute to training the Water Board for maintenance and establishing protocol for troubleshooting, repairs, and handling collections of unpaid water bills. The distribution system will begin construction in May/June.
Project Reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
If you donate to this project or have donated to this project, you will get an e-mail when this project posts a report. You can also subscribe for reports via e-mail without donating.
We'll only email you new reports and updates about this project.

Collins, M.J. orcid.org/0000-0003-4226-5501, van Duin, A.C.T. and Waite, E.R. (1999) Predicting protein decomposition: the case of aspartic-acid racemization kinetics. Philosophical Transactions Of The Royal Society Of London Series B - Biological Sciences. pp. 51-64. ISSN 1471-2970
The increase in proportion of the non-biological (D-) isomer of aspartic acid (Asp) relative to the L- isomer has been widely used in archaeology and geochemistry as a tool for dating. The method has proved controversial, particularly when used for bones. The non-linear kinetics of Asp racemization have prompted a number of suggestions as to the underlying mechanism(s) and have led to the use of mathe- matical transformations which linearize the increase in D-Asp with respect to time. Using one example, a suggestion that the initial rapid phase of Asp racemization is due to a contribution from asparagine (Asn), we demonstrate how a simple model of the degradation and racemization of Asn can be used to predict the observed kinetics. A more complex model of peptide bound Asx (Asn+Asp) racemization, which occurs via the formation of a cyclic succinimide (Asu), can be used to correctly predict Asx racemi- zation kinetics in proteins at high temperatures (95-140 °C). The model fails to predict racemization kinetics in dentine collagen at 37 °C. The reason for this is that Asu formation is highly conformation dependent and is predicted to occur extremely slowly in triple helical collagen. As conformation strongly in£uences the rate of Asu formation and hence Asx racemization, the use of extrapolation from high temperatures to estimate racemization kinetics of Asx in proteins below their denaturation temperature is called into question. In the case of archaeological bone, we argue that the D:L ratio of Asx re£ects the proportion of non- helical to helical collagen, overlain by the e¡ects of leaching of more soluble (and conformationally unconstrained) peptides. Thus, racemization kinetics in bone are potentially unpredictable, and the proposed use of Asx racemization to estimate the extent of DNA depurination in archaeological bones is challenged.

Coming from embedded MFD development so this may be a redunant question.
I'm used to code signing being differentiated between development and production keys, with the latter being a expensive/difficult process.
For our commercial blackberry app do we really only need to purchase a $20 code signing key to release it to the public?
Thanks - Lindsay

You only need the keys if you are using RIM API's that require signing. All of the secure API's are noted in the API docs.
You do not need keys to run your code on the simulator.
There is no differentiation between "production" signed-build and non-production.
Yup, I figured that. We'll be using autostart, dial events, accessing the logs etc.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Freshwater and Tropical Fish
- - Dream fish tanks
Dream fish tanks I thought we could have some fun here... What is your dream fish tank that you wish you could have some day? I have two. For some reason, I always loved bottom feeders, more than other kinds of fish. Hey always have so much personality! So, I thought it would be amazing to have a custom made bottom feeder tank. It would be maybe 50 gallons, something big, but instead of a regular box shape it would be really short and more narrow. About the height of a standard 10g or maybe a little bit less, the width of a 20 gallon, and really long. This would give it a large footprint and it could house way more of these fish than a regular 50 gallon. I could have lots of different cories, peaceful loaches, otos, and more! My second dream tank: I have always loved big schools of tiny fish. I so want to get a big huge aquarium and fill it with a few large schools and shoals of fish. Some that I like are neon tetras, marble hatchetfish, and dwarf cories. Etc. I am looking forward to hearing your ideas, whatever they may be! Thank you! C: |
I want to do a decent size tank, not even huge, full of tiny fish. Tons of Boraras and Sundadanio axelrodi, then some bigger fish like fire rasboras and Hengels rasboras plus dwarf hovering loaches and all the different Pangios I could find. Then some chocolate gouramis and licorice gouramis. Well that's just one idea and the closest to what I have now. I actually have a ton of different tanks I'd like to do. |
I have my dream tank although it is empty at the moment. It is a Perfecto 220g which I am going to be making into a mixed reef sometime (soon hopefully). I have a saltwater tank (see my signature), cichlid tank is an option possibly if it turn out to be too much doing the saltwater tank. |
Oh, glad to hear you creating you dream to reality:) good luck! Honestly, I wouldn't ever want a huge reef. I have a 2.5 gallon reef and it is absolutely perfect. I could never ask for anything better. I look forward to seeing yours though! I love big reef tanks for other people... Posted via Mobile Device |

Tax Consumption, Not Income
Effective consequences of income taxation are creating economic uncertainty and stifling growth. They are far from popular and even further from necessary. Throughout American history, income taxes yield approximately 19% of GDP regardless of marginal rates – indicating a spending problem as opposed to a revenue problem. With a sputtering economy and increasing national sentiment favoring cutting government expenditures, the only logical solution is the elimination of all income taxes and the implementation of a static rate consumption tax. This essential measure will empower individuals to make their own economic choices, instantaneously create jobs, and force the federal government to downsize.
Income taxes represent a restriction of economic liberty. Currently, government allocation of individual earnings denies people the opportunity to make decisions for themselves. However, the consumption tax enables citizens to make pre-tax choices. Certainly, more money in each hand translates to increased consumption, investment, and savings. Since consumption and investment fuel the markets, this can only lead to an uptick in economic activity while increasing the rate of growth of savings.
In the wake of eliminating income taxes on corporations, millions of jobs will be created virtually overnight. Businesses will no longer need to move offshore, exploit loopholes in the tax code, lobby for subsidies, utilize debt financing to offset tax liabilities, or seek out foreign labor markets to reduce costs. More importantly, corporations will flock to the United States knowing there is an environment of certainty in which their business can flourish. Certainty for business means stability for individuals, yielding prosperity for all.
Perhaps the greatest impact of instituting a consumption tax will be felt within the federal government itself. As entitlements engulf the budget, transferring the onus of planning for one's future from government to the individual will have a monumental impact. Not only will people have more money and increased choice with fewer obstacles, but a limited social safety net can be salvaged to provide for those truly in need. Furthermore, government spending itself will develop a targeted, less frivolous process out of necessity – eliminating waste and inefficiencies.
In a true free market, a level playing field signals certainty to its participants – fostering and encouraging market activity. Eliminating income taxes in favor of a static rate consumption tax will accomplish this measure by removing unfair advantages to politically well-connected individuals, corporations, and special interests. Individuals will regain control of their respective financial futures by making decisions only they can make – how best to allocate income toward consumption, investment, and savings for their specific needs. Moreover, industries will realize an influx of competitors to innovate and open new markets, creating countless jobs in the process. As individuals and businesses are liberated from income taxes, government spending will readjust to its newly concentrated environment – thanks to the simple measure of adopting a consumption tax.
Focus on Jobs by Eliminating the Income Tax
Here is a letter to the Los Angeles Times:
President Obama recently declared "it was time again for Washington to focus on jobs" (Now, Congress and Obama need to focus on jobs, August 3). Having already experienced the recent failures of economic stimulus under Bush and Obama, there is a better mechanism for increasing the lackluster growth rate of GDP and job creation – eliminating the income tax on individuals and corporations and replacing it with a consumption tax.
Eliminating income taxes will ignite a whole new jobs boom by creating an environment of certainty for businesses, removing the need to seek out loopholes and foreign labor markets. Corporations will flock to the US, leading to greater competition among industries that will create countless jobs in the process.
Moreover, eliminating income taxes will increase individuals' consumption, investment, and savings, resulting in an improved rate of economic growth. Due to the ensuing rise in consumption, sufficient tax revenues will be collected to fund the federal government. Most importantly, the removal of unfair tax advantages to politically well-connected corporations, individuals, and interest groups will create a level playing field and certainty for all market participants – fostering and encouraging economic activity.
Craig D. Schlesinger
More Taxation is Not the Answer
Here is a letter to the Chicago Sun-Times:
In the wake of the recently passed debt deal, the Chicago Sun-Times asserts, "President Obama's job is to convince the nation that more tax revenue — not just more spending cuts — must be a part of the two-stage deal" (Obama must find a way to boost U.S. revenue, August 2). However, income taxes aren't the solution, they are the problem.
Simply raising marginal tax rates will accomplish nothing, since tax revenue as a share of GDP is historically 18-20% regardless. Our lackluster revenue and economic output is due to unemployment, and the best way to foster job growth is by eliminating all income taxes on individuals and businesses. If the US taxes consumption rather than income, a whole new jobs boom will begin instantaneously.
Absent an income tax, businesses will exist in an environment of certainty without the need to seek out loopholes and foreign labor markets. Moreover, corporations will flock to the US, firm in the knowledge that this is the best country to start-up and grow business. As industries realize an influx of new competitors to innovate, countless jobs will be created in the process. Certainty for business translates to stability for individuals and a prosperous society for all.
Furthermore, individuals gaining the freedom to increase their consumption, investment, and savings will result in an additional uptick in economic output. Since the wealthy account for the largest block of consumption, they will indeed pay their "fair share" of taxes. Eliminating the income tax and replacing it with a consumption tax will also remove unfair advantages to politically well-connected individuals, corporations, and special interests – providing a level playing field for all market participants. How does that translate to a "kick in the gut to the middle class"?
Craig D. Schlesinger

Allow me to begin by sharing a sample conversation between myself and these two very charming little men, Jake and Josh:
Scene: Breakfast room, 8:05 am Saturday morning.
Josh: Mom! Look at this! Look at this! Look at this!!! (holds up Lego creation of indeterminable shape.) This is a Transformers Mario car that opens up and look at this! It totally opens up, can you believe that??? Mom! We should totally go to the Cheesecake Factory tonight. It would be epic. Can we, Mom? Can we?
Me: (Blearily rubbing the last traces of sleep from my eyes.) Dude, it's eight o'clock in the morning. I haven't even had my coffee yet. I can't think about dinner.
Jake: But Moooommm, we haven't eaten there in a long long time. Let's ask Daddy! Daddy loves food and sliders and stuff.
Me: Daddy's out playing golf. We'll ask him when he gets home.
Josh: Oh. (Exasperated sigh.) Okay.
(extended silence)
Josh: Mom! Did you know that bellybuttons are scabs? Because they are, I read it in a book.
End scene.
This week I went to both Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack to buy new bras (more on that tomorrow.) Of course I got distracted by a few things - namely, a rack of discounted Kate Spade garments and these unbelievable Christian Loubotain leopard pumps. At only $995! Grabby hands *sob*.
When I got home from my shopping expedition, I traipsed into my closet to hang my new purchases and nearly threw up in my mouth. Clothes, shoes and belts were snaked everywhere, winding around my ankles and draping over hangers. It was time for a closet purge. Five garbage bags later my closet is organized and clean. Even better, there's tons of room for new stuff. Bonus.
And finally, to finish these smiles on a sweet note, I present to you a giant chocolate chip cookie from Corner Bakery. Yes and also PLEASE.
Now it's your turn: What are some things that made you smile this week? Grab my button (created by Kate of Divergent Musings - HUGE THANKS to Kate!) and blog about your Sunday smiles; share your weekly smiles in the comments; or smile just because it makes you feels good.
As I'm pondering whether my bellybutton really is a scab, catch up on my posts from this week:
- I questioned what your relationship with make-up is;
- Explained why playing the numbers game is fruitless when determining blogger success;
- Shared my reasoning behind why I broke up with my mirror;
- Wore an entirely thrifted outfit of a vintage lace vest and polka dots;
- Continued my series instructing how to write a great blog post with Part 3: Titles, language and length;
- Shared photos of where I blog from for visual Fashion Beauty Friend Friday;
- and posted my August giveaway for a $40 gift card to MAC.
I had one blog accomplishment this week:
- My post regarding why numbers are irrelevant in determining blogger success was featured in this week's IFB Links a la Mode.

Business case an essential part of legacy ERP upgrade
Many manufacturers forego a formal business case in an ERP migration, but skipping this step is a mistake, according to experts.
If it's looking like a legacy ERP migration or upgrade -- or greenfield implementation -- is in a company's future,...

the advocates for the project must put together a business case to justify the investment. This may seem obvious, but experts say too many manufacturers undertake major ERP projects without the benefit of a business case.
One reason for this oversight: According to a June 2011 Aberdeen Group survey of 465 IT and business executives, 63% upgraded their legacy ERP system to replace obsolete technology. Companies in that camp generally do not bother with building a business case, since the stakes are clear: Fail to invest, and your company is in jeopardy. And companies looking to upgrade or migrate their ERP based on other factors often delay the initiative for one simple reason -- putting together a solid business case that lays out hard cost savings is difficult.
"Many times, executives feel they're going to get back the same functionality they already had, for more money," said Brad Little, vice president at Capgemini, an international consultancy. Hanging the justification for the project on a critical new capability, such as business analytics, will make the business case flow much more smoothly, he added.
"For business executives, the reason to upgrade, plain and simple, is 'I have to do it,' " said Steve Phillips, a former ERP consultant, SearchManufacturingERP.com contributor and IT director at Candle-lite, a Cincinnati candlemaker. " 'I have to do this to stay in business.' That's the ultimate driver," Phillips said.
That's not to say that upgrading or migrating ERP doesn't carry potential business benefits. In fact, the benefits of a well-executed ERP upgrade or migration are legion: better efficiency and productivity, the chance to optimize business processes through new capabilities, and cost reduction, to name a few. Cloud and mobile ERP are also enticing for many manufacturers. It's just that many of these benefits are hard to pin down in a traditional return on investment (ROI) calculation.
Fortunately, for this type of project, it is good enough to list the types of business benefits -- whether hard values such as cost savings or softer benefits such as higher productivity or increased business agility. With soft benefits, assigning a looser monetary value is sufficient, these experts say. For example, the company will have no reliable way to predict the bottom-line effect of being able for the first time to sell directly to consumers versus continuing to rely on the channel.
Reduction of business risk is another common driver that is tough to quantify, according to Phillips. "When it comes down to it, you have to have a system that is supported and sustainable. If it appears your vendor may be the target of a takeover or may be about to go bankrupt, your business could be at risk." Upgrading or migrating to a demonstrably viable ERP vendor and product will reduce the risk significantly.
The problem with sidestepping the business case, no matter how squishy it might be, is that the organization will likely never know if it achieved the expected results from its ERP initiative, say industry experts. You can't manage what you don't measure, as the adage goes, so without a business case, an ERP system's benefits will go unmeasured. They say this all-too-common scenario sets the stage for business-IT misalignment.
