YOU MIGHT have read reports that plant-raised pharmaceuticals will be a market worth $2.2 billion by 2011. But when farm publications publish these reports, they usually don't mention that the profits aren't likely to go to Iowa corn farmers.
Joseph Burris, an emeritus professor of seed science at Iowa State who now owns his own gene containment consulting company, explains why: "We used to think a buffer zone of one mile between pharma corn and conventional corn was adequate to prevent airborne pollen contamination so as to reassure the public and USDA that drug-producing genes aren't going to end up in corn flakes. But now the standard is 30 miles. You won't find anyplace in the Corn Belt that will accommodate those isolation standards."
Burris also points to the high investment required. "Even if you find irrigated land in Arizona, standards for production are strict. Every kernel must be accounted for, and you need dedicated machinery. That planter or combine can't be used for anything else."
Antony Blanc, head of Syngenta biopharma in Switzerland, also doubts corn is the future of pharmaceutical products. "We do believe that innovative plant-made pharmaceuticals [PMPs] will provide great benefits for patients who need new medicines," Blanc says. "But corn farmers shouldn't count on producing these products in corn. Other crops are as well if not better suited for production of biopharmaceuticals. Syngenta has a program with safflower, for example. This low-acreage, niche oil- and birdseed crop grows well in remote, arid regions and is grown only on contract, making its credible isolation much simpler."
Syngenta is in step with an industrywide move away from using major food crops for pharmaceutical production. Blanc says the main reason the first trials with PMPs used corn or tobacco was because these were the workhorses of early plant biotechnology. The industry began with what it knew best and has now moved on.
Corn growers shouldn't be too disappointed. Blanc says even a blockbuster drug would require, at most, between 500 and 3,000 acres to fulfill worldwide needs — not nearly enough to transform Iowa's economic landscape.
EUROPE'S TYRES & Accessories trade magazine reported that Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company is discussing the possible sale of its agriculture tire division in North America to Titan International. The magazine added that Goodyear would retain its European ag tire business.
Tire industry figures indicate that Goodyear's farm tire production capacity in its Freeport, IL, plant is about 10,000 per day. Titan's Des Moines, IA, plant is estimated to produce 8,000 tires a day.
THE NORTHERN Plains have experienced frequent and severe weather cycles over the last 2,000 years with some cycles lasting up to 160 years. These findings are from a three-year study conducted by the Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC) at the University of North Dakota and the St. Croix Watershed Research Station at the Science Museum of Minnesota. The researchers conducted their study on the lake bottom sediments in Devil's Lake, ND.
The researchers learned that weather cycles have been more severe in the past centuries than the very limited current weather records indicate. Future cycles could be more severe.
The EERC researchers report that although this region is currently in a wet cycle, residents should be prepared for a significant drought within the next few decades. An extended drought will greatly threaten current living conditions.
Soybean growers who fear the infestation of rust should be able to follow the path of the fungus in the U.S. through Internet maps from Iowa State University (ISU). The university received a $900,000 grant to develop and operate a Web-based system that will detect, identify, map and predict the spread of rust and other plant diseases. The researchers will first focus on Asian soybean rust.
USDA provided the three-year grant to ISU. Forrest Nutter, ISU plant epidemiologist, will lead the project. The ISU researchers will use a nationwide database of plant disease samples to track the pests and then produce a real-time pest risk map. They then hope to predict where the pests may spread.
"In the case of Asian soybean rust, it will provide information to growers so they don't apply fungicides too early or too late," Nutter says. He has used the technology to develop this map service in Brazil.
Monsanto announced plans to purchase a fruit and vegetable seed company called Seminis. Monsanto will pay $1.4 billion in cash and assumed debt, plus a performance-based payment of up to $125 million by the end of fiscal year 2007, for the company.
Monsanto CEO and President Hugh Grant stated that the purchase of Seminis fits Monsanto's plans because global interest in fruits and vegetables as well as healthy diets is growing. Seminis supplies more than 3,500 seed varieties to commercial fruit and vegetable growers and other businesses in more than 150 countries.

Nov. 15, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The MIT women's cross country squad reached new heights at the NCAA New England Regional Championship on Saturday, finishing in third place out of over 50 teams looking to qualify for the national meet. The result, the highest finish in program history at the regional meet, clinches a spot for the Engineers in the NCAA Championship next weekend in Hanover, Ind. MIT, currently ranked No. 16 in the nation, easily eclipsed its previous high of seventh place, which was achieved at last year's New England regional.
As she has done all season, junior Jacqui Wentz (23:27) paced Tech, coming in 19th out of a field of 330 runners. By shaving 20 seconds off her 2007 time, Wentz is now the highest individual finisher at this meet since Debbie Won's fifth-place showing in 1998. Andrea Bradshaw crossed the finish line directly behind Wentz with a time of 23:35. Maria Monks was the third MIT harrier to place in the top 30, completing the six-kilometer course in a time 23:48, good for 29th overall.
Senior Jennifer Doyle dramatically improved on her 81st place finish in last year's meet, moving up to 37th with a time of 24:02. Anna Holt-Gosselin rounded out the scoring for the Engineers, coming through the chute at 24:36 in 56th place. Freshman Katherine Eve did not figure in the scoring for the Cardinal and Gray but did finish as one of the top 10 rookie runners in the region with her 64th place standing.
Middlebury took home the top spot in today's race outscoring second place Williams by 25 points (57-82). Amherst senior Elise Tropiano was the top overall finisher, breaking the tape at 21:49, more than 39 seconds ahead of her closest competitor.
The Engineers will enter uncharted territory when they travel to the NCAA Championship next weekend. MIT has never participated in this meet as a team and has only sent four individual runners to compete in the race in the program's 24-year history. The squad will be familiar with the course however, having already taken first place at the NCAA Pre-Nationals held at Hanover College last month.
The NCAA Championship will be held next Saturday, November 22 at the L.S. Ayers Athletic Complex on the campus of Hanover College. The women's race will begin at 12:00 p.m.

Some effects of the Manning-WikiLeaks case
FORT MEADE, Maryland (AP) — U.S. soldier Bradley Manning could face up to 136 years in prison for the largest leak of classified documents in U.S. history. Here are other effects of the case:
Other military careers were ruined besides Manning's. Fifteen people were disciplined as the result of an Army investigation. Officials decline to name them or tell what their misconduct was or how they were punished because of a long-standing policy of protecting the privacy of personnel, said Lt. Col. Stephen J. Platt, an Army spokesman.
But court documents and testimony revealed Manning's superiors ignored or mishandled his mental health and behavior problems — including numerous outbursts and an email he sent a superior with a photo of himself dressed as a woman. His problems should have disqualified him from going to Iraq and should have prompted the immediate suspension of his security clearance after he got there, the defense said. Witnesses also depicted an intelligence unit with poor leadership and analysts playing music, movies and video games on their work computers in the war zone.
The Defense Department has made it harder for one person acting alone to download material from a classified network and place it on an unclassified one. The use of thumb drives, CDs and other removable media is now limited and must be approved by supervisors. Manning brought a rewritable CD labeled "Lady Gaga" to work, erased the music and downloaded government documents onto it.
The department is still implementing other steps such as a system to make it easier to trace action back to the user, a smart card system to limit access to government websites containing sensitive information and a program to identify insider threats, said Lt. Col. Damien Pickart, a Pentagon spokesman.
The release of diplomatic cables, war zone logs and videos embarrassed the U.S. and its allies, but no information points to specific damage to national security or interests.
U.S. officials warned of dire consequences in the days immediately after the first disclosures in July 2010. But a Pentagon assessment determined in August 2010 that the initial leaks had not compromised intelligence sources or practices, although it said the disclosures could still cause significant damage to U.S. security interests. No further report has been publicly released.
The judge in Manning's case did not allow testimony during the trial phase on whether damage had been done, but both sides can present that kind of evidence during sentencing.
Whistleblower and transparency advocates have said that convicting Manning on the charge of aiding the enemy could set a dangerous precedent for freedom of the press in the age of the Internet.
Manning's prosecutors argued that making information available on the Internet — whether by giving it to WikiLeaks, or putting it in a personal blog or releasing it to newspaper — can amount to aiding the enemy. The defense said it could discourage those who want to expose government wrongdoing by taking information to the press.
"This is a new situation that courts have not yet had to deal with," said national security lawyer Mark Zaid.
Associated Press videographer Sagar Meghani contributed to this report from Washington.

Nested Yellow Materials & Sustainable Studio Practices
+ Converting your international ring size to US/Canada:
+ Fine Metals:
Nested Yellow uses 100% reclaimed precious metals sterling silver, 10K gold, 14K gold and 18K gold.
+ Canadian Diamonds:
Nested Yellow uses conflict-free diamonds from the Canadian Arctic. These diamonds are mined in the Canadian North and are responsibly cut and polished. Their production and sale are subject to strict standards set by the Canadian Code of Conduct, CanadaMark™, and the Government of the Northwest Territories, designed to protect the Arctic environment, mine workers, and local employees.
+ Recycled Diamonds:
Nested Yellow offers recycled diamonds that had initially been introduced into the jewelry supply chain for sale to the consumer and were then re-sold to a jeweler, refiner or other agent. The diamonds are then cleaned, graded and re-introduced into the supply chain as a Recycled Diamond.
+ Kimberley Process Diamonds:
Nested Yellow offers Kimberley Process certified diamonds which are conflict-free diamonds acquired from sources that participate in the Kimberley Process Certification System. The Kimberley Process was established in 2003 as part of United Nations resolution 55/56 to eliminate the flow of "conflict" or "blood" diamonds — rough diamonds smuggled out of war-torn regions and sold to finance violence. The trade in these illicit stones has fuelled decades of devastating conflicts in countries such as Angola, Cote d'Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Sierra Leone.A joint government, industry and civil society initiative, the Kimberley Process Certification System (KPCS) imposes extensive requirements on its members in order to certify shipments of rough diamonds as "conflict-free".
+ CARE for your pieces:
All sterling silver is made from quality .925 silver and may tarnish over time depending on air, perfumes, skin acidity, and many other environmental factors. Sterling silver may be polished to restore its shine. The same follows for all 14k gold-filled elements.
To sustain the look of your new jewelry it is best to avoid wearing pieces while sleeping, showering, swimming, etc. Store the piece in the plastic zip bag while not wearing.

Technology Spyware Information
Has your Internet startup page changed unexpectedly? Are you flooded with popup ads, even when not surfing the web? Is your computer running slower than usual? Spyware may be the cause. As PC Magazine (March 2, 2004 issue) writes, "[Spyware] can manipulate your system, record your habits, and steal your passwords and credit card numbers. Depending on their degree of aggressiveness, they can steal your privacy or even your identity. And they can be terribly difficult to remove."
What Is Spyware?
Spyware is computer software that is installed on your computer, usually without your knowledge, that secretly gathers information about you and your computing habits, and sends that information to advertisers and other interested parties. There are many ways you can get spyware. Many "free" file sharing programs, for example, are bundled with spyware apps.
Spyware Removal Tools
Wabash IT Services has tested and recommends the following tools for detecting and removing spyware from your computer.
- Spy Sweeper - Windows (commercial product; free scan)
- Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware - Windows 2000/XP (Beta)
- Spybot Search and Destroy (download) - Windows
- AdAware (download) - Windows
- MacScan (download) - Macintosh
Recovering from Lost Network Access
Several spyware programs may corrupt your network settings when you remove the program, leaving your computer unable to connect to the Internet. Option^Explicit's WinsockFix program usually will repair these systems. You can download the program here, or get the software from the Help Desk in Baxter 33.
For More Information
PC Magazine has a cover story on spyware in their March 2, 2004 issue that offers a good overview of spyware, including how to avoid spyware and how to tell if you have spyware. They also review antispyware programs.
Feel free also to contact the Help Desk for more information, or for assistance in removing spyware or acquiring any of the removal tools.

Ignacio High School alumnus Alex Herrera (2008-10) left a rather large impression on the Colorado High School Activities Association:
Most blocks in one game: Herrera, tied with three other players with 15.
Most blocks in one season: Herrera, with 197.
Most blocks in his career: Herrera, fourth with 311.
It didnt take long for Herrera to leave his mark on the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, either. The Skyhawks 6-10, 235-pound sophomore center was named the RMAC Defensive Player of the Year on Tuesday, the first in Fort Lewis College mens basketball history.
Its a tremendous honor for Alex, FLC head coach Bob Hofman said in a news release. Hes worked extremely hard for any individual accomplishments he gets. Its a nice reflection on our whole team. The way Alex has worked this past year makes us extremely proud of his achievements.
Herrera and FLC ranked 17th in the National Association of Basketball Coaches Division II Coaches Poll on Tuesday will host Colorado Mines at 7:30 p.m. today in the RMAC Shootout quarterfinals. FLC is the No. 3 seed in the conference tournament, Colorado Mines the 6-seed.
FLC point guard Marcus Ayala and shooting guard Nick Tomsick were named to the All-RMAC second team.
Herrera picked up at FLC right where he left off at IHS. He leads the RMAC in blocked shots (73) and set an FLC record with four RMAC Player of the Week honors this season two on offense, two on defense.
Herrera already is just 10 blocks shy from the FLC record.
In his first season as a full-time starter, Herrera led the league in blocks and field-goal percentage (62.3 percent), finished fourth in rebounding (8.7 per game) and ninth in scoring (15.6 points per game).
Ayala scored a career-high 25 points to help FLC upset then-No. 1 Metro State on Feb. 22 at Whalen Gymnasium. His late heroics down the Skyhawks regular-season homestretch have helped the team to a trio of cruicial victories that count toward their regional ranking.
Marcus has been such a great clutch player all year long for us, Hofman said.
The same can be said for Tomsick, the owner of three buzzer-beating 3-pointers this season that have either forced overtime or won a game in regulation.
The Bloomfield High School alumnus and North Platte Community College transfer has been a great addition to our team this year, Hofman said. Hes made so many clutch shots for us.
Jonathan Morse, a 6-8, 245-pound senior for fourth-ranked Metro State, was named the RMAC Player of the Year. Morse averaged 14 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.4 steams, 1.4 blocks and shot 51.5-percent from the floor in leading the Roadrunners to the RMAC regular-season title and a No. 1 ranking for much of the regular season.
Derrick Clark, Morses coach, was named RMAC Coach of the Year. Metro State won 22 consecutive games to start the season before its loss to FLC and is 24-2 overall and 20-2 in the conference.
Derrick White, a 6-4, 165-pound guard from UC-Colorado Springs was named the RMAC Freshman of the Year.

Biography Chester Elmore Art has always been a part of my life. I was fortunate enough to have been born in San Francisco, which has always been a cultural beacon for art in general but for African American Artists in particular. The social conditions of my neighborhood (Haight Ashbury) as well as the rest of the country at that time, allowed for voices to be heard that had heretofore been muted. I was born into a Family that contained two formally trained working artists (my uncles). From an early age I made enough of a pest of my self that it became impossible for either of them to ignore my desire to learn from them. I began to imitate their works and eventually refine technique by critique and impromptu lessons. At that time there...

Initial Philippines Post-Bopha Assessment Shows Loss of Animals, Crops
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (Dec. 7, 2012) - Heifer Philippines country staff continues to assess damage from Typhoon Bopha, but project officers and partners in the Sta. Jose community in South Philippines are reporting a number of homes damaged or destroyed, drowned livestock and lost crops.
According to Hercules Paradiang, Heifer Philippines country director, 366 families in two projects in Sta. Josefa, Agusan del Sur, were significantly affected, with every familys home either damaged or destroyed. More than 250 pigs were lost, as well as 90 goats. A building owned by a community group, comprising a feedmill and raw materials for feeds, which were just purchased, was also damaged.
Staff is reporting significant damage to rice, corn and banana crops in the fields as well. The reports, which are still sketchy and unverified, are trickling in due to continued difficulty reaching and communicating with families and staff in the field. Initial estimates of damage to Heifers projects overall is USD $550,000.
The official death toll from Typhoon Bopha, which roared ashore early Tuesday with 160 mile an hour winds, the equivalent of a Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic, stands at 418 with 383 missing and hundreds injured, according to the Philippines national disaster agency.
The storm has weakened and is moving slowly north-northwest toward the South China Sea, with central winds of up to 68 mph and gusts of up to 87 mph.
Aid continues to pour in from pre-positioned government stores, and international aid organizations are responding to the immediate, short-term needs. Heifer staff in the Philippines and at the headquarters office in Little Rock is collecting updates and information to prepare for the rehabilitation work that will begin soon.
In that, Heifer Philippines country staff will work with project families to repair and replace homes, replace lost livestock, repair animal pens and replace and replant crops.
Right now, our role is to give the government and first-responders the room to do their work, to help the families who need them so badly, said Mahendra Lohani, vice president of Heifer Internationals Asia/South Pacific area. Then, when some order is restored, we will work with families and partners to rebuild their farms and shore up and restore agricultural production.
Only that will provide them the resources and assets, such as income, food and goods for sale, that will start the real long-term recovery that is so important to a sustainable life.
Updates will continue to be provided as events warrant.

Wikipedia, as you probably know, is an online, multilingual encyclopedia whose entries are written and edited by readers around the world. What you may not know is that this ongoing experiment in Web-based collaboration maintains volunteer gatekeepers, and one of them has whisked me (or, rather, the entry describing me) under the insulting rubric, "Wikipedia articles with topics of unclear importance." I share this digital limbo with Anthony Stevens ("internationally respected Jungian analyst, psychiatrist, and author"), Final Approach("romantic comedy anime series"), Secproof ("well known security consulting company in Finland"), and about 400 other topics tagged during the past calendar month. There we languish, awaiting "deletion review," which I will surely flunk.
Wikipedia's notability policy resembles U.S. immigration policy before 9/11: stringent rules, spotty enforcement. To be notable, a Wikipedia topic must be "the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works from sources that are reliable and independent of the subject and of each other." Although I have written or been quoted in such works, I can't say I've ever been the subject of any. And wouldn't you know, some notability cop cruised past my bio and pulled me over. Unless I get notable in a hurry—win the Nobel Peace Prize? Prove I sired Anna Nicole Smith's baby daughter?—a "sysop" (volunteer techie) will wipe my Wikipedia page clean. It's straight out of Philip K. Dick.
My career as an encyclopedia entry began on Sept. 6, 2005, when (according to Wikipedia's "history" tab) an anonymous user posted a three-sentence bio noting that I wrote the Chatterbox column in Slate; that previously I'd been a Washington-based reporter for the Wall Street Journal; and that my wife, "fellow journalist Marjorie Williams," had died the previous January. I've since discovered through some Web sleuthing that my Boswell was a student at Reed College named Ethan Epstein. Subsequent reader edits added to Epstein's original a few more professional and personal items from my résumé that, like the earlier details, were readily available online.
I can't say that I'd ever harbored an ambition to be listed in Wikipedia, but when I tripped over my bio three months after it appeared, I felt mildly flattered. Exercising my Wiki rights, I corrected my city of residence, which was off by a few blocks, and added that I'd published a posthumous anthology of Marjorie's writing under the title The Woman at the Washington Zoo. Various items got added to and subtracted from my bio over the next year and a half, and every now and then I myself would check for errors (there were surprisingly few). It was on one such foray that I discovered I'd been designated for Wiki oblivion, like a dead tree marked with orange spray paint for the city arborist to uproot.
Talk about humiliating! Wikipedia does not, it assures readers, measure notability "by Wikipedia editors' own subjective judgments." In other words, it was nothing personal. But to be told one has been found objectively unworthy hardly softens the blow. "Think of all your friends and colleagues who've never been listed," a pal consoled. Cold comfort. If you've never been listed in Wikipedia, you can always argue that your omission is an oversight. Not me. I've been placed under a microscope and, on the basis of careful and dispassionate analysis, excluded from the most comprehensive encyclopedia ever devised. Ouch!
But the terms of eviction from Wikipedia raise a larger issue than the bruised ego of one scribbler (or Jungian analyst or anime artist or Finnish security consultant). Why does Wikipedia have a "notability" standard at all?
We know why other encyclopedias need to limit the topics they cover. If they're on paper, they're confined by space. If they're on the Web, they're confined by staff size. But Wikipedia commands what is, for all practical purposes, infinite space and infinite manpower. The drawback to Wikipedia's ongoing collaboration with readers is that entries are vulnerable to error, clumsy writing, and sabotage. The advantage is that Wikipedia can draw on the collective interests and knowledge of its hundreds of thousands of daily visitors to cover, well, anything. To limit that scope based on notions of importance and notability seems self-defeating. If Wikipedia publishes a bio of my cleaning lady, that won't make it any harder to field experts to write and edit Wikipedia's bio of Albert Einstein. So, why not let her in?
Granted, there are a few practical limits to covering any and all topics, "important" or not. One is privacy. Assuming that my cleaning lady were neither a public figure nor part of any larger story, it would be difficult to justify posting her bio against her will. Another limit is accuracy. The bio's assertions about my cleaning lady would have to be independently verifiable from trustworthy sources made available to readers. Otherwise, Wikipedia's vast army of volunteer fact-checkers would be unable to find out whether the bio was truthful.
But Wikipedia already maintains rules concerning verifiability and privacy. Why does it need separate rules governing "notability"? Wikipedia's attempt to define who or what is notable is so rococo that it even has elaborate notability criteria for porn stars. (A former Playboy Playmate of the Month is notable; a hot girlfriend to a famous rock star is not.) Inside the permanent town meeting that is Wikipedia's governing structure—a New Yorker article about Wikipedia last year reported that fully 25 percent of Wikipedia is now devoted to governance of the site itself—the notability standard is a topic of constant dispute.
When people go to this much trouble to maintain a distinction rendered irrelevant by technological change, the search for an explanation usually leads to Thorstein Veblen's 1899 book, TheTheory of the Leisure Class. (Click here to read it.) This extended sociological essay argues that the pursuit of status based on outmoded social codes takes precedence over, and frequently undermines, the rational pursuit of wealth and, more broadly, common sense. Hierarchical distinctions among people and things remain in force not because they retain practical value, but because they have become pleasurable in themselves. Wikipedia's stubborn enforcement of its notability standard suggests Veblen was right. We limit entry to the club not because we need to, but because we want to.
[Update, Feb. 24, 2007, 11:40 a.m.: I didn't bargain on Wikipedia being such a highly sensitive instrument. Immediately after this article was posted (and therefore well before most people had a chance to read it), a Wikipedia sysop granted my entry a stay of execution with respect to "notability." Delighted as I am to be elevated once again to the company of Nicolaus Copernicus, Igor Stravinsky, and Melvin "Slappy" White, can the dividing line between eminence and obscurity really be the authorship of a single magazine article about Wikipedia? I note with interest that Stacy Schiff, author of the excellent New Yorker article cited above, failed to impress Wikipedia's arbiters of notability by winning the Pulitzer Prize in biography, writing several other well-regarded books, and receiving fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities. It wasn't until she wrote her Wikipedia piece that she became sufficiently notable to be written up in Wikipedia.
I presume the Wikipedia sysops will debate this point and others with respect to my entry, and that I can expect to be re-tagged for removal and un-tagged ad infinitum over the coming days as they hash it out. I'll follow future developments (click here to keep track of them) with interest. In the meantime, I hope it isn't lost on readers that my aim was not to reinstate myself but rather to argue against Wikipedia's "notability" standard itself and to use it as a newfangled illustration of our society's love affair with invidious distinction.]

With China's New Leaders Comes Shift of Power
As China waits for the next generation of leaders to emerge from the 18th Communist Party Congress, WSJ contributing columnist Russell Leigh Moses talks about the most significant change in this year's leadership transition.

NSA Defenders Reject Appeal For Clemency That Ed Snowden Never Made; But Here's Why US Should Give Him Amnesty
from the get-it-figured-out dept
Snowden made the plea in a letter given to a German politician and released Friday. In his one-page typed letter, he asks for clemency for charges over allegedly leaking classified information about the NSA to the news media. ""Speaking the truth is not a crime," Snowden wrote.Okay. Of course, since that letter was released, we can read the whole thing, and if you can find where he made a plea for clemency, let me know. It's not very long. And, there's nothing in there even remotely asking for clemency. Or anything like it. It's just Snowden pointing out, accurately, that "to tell the truth is not a crime," and we need more truth telling from the government.
But, of course, Feinstein and Rogers couldn't resist some grandstanding on all of this. Feinstein's response was particularly funny because she said that Snowden could have just reported the issue directly to her committee, where they would have buried it. Remember, Feinstein and the Senate intelligence committee have been arguing pretty much all along that everything that Snowden revealed is all perfectly legal -- even as the public and many officials are outraged by what happened. Anyone who thinks that Snowden reporting it would have done anything other than hindered any future job prospects for Ed Snowden hasn't been paying attention.
That said, Yochai Benkler, has a great piece over at The Guardian arguing why the US should grant Snowden amnesty, which is slightly different from clemency (which, again, he never asked for). Amusingly, Benkler uses the example of Congress in 2008 giving telcos retroactive immunity for their actions in helping the NSA as a model for how Congress can give Snowden similar amnesty, noting (correctly) that we already have a model of this in place. As for why? Well, considering how many things even our own government is claiming Snowden has revealed that show the NSA has gone too far certainly suggest that his leaks have been useful in exposing massive government wrongdoing by some, and terrible incompetence or ignorance by others.
Snowden hasn't asked for clemency, but if the US government is smart, it should grant him amnesty, and get him involved in the process of cleaning up the mess that the NSA (not Snowden) has created.

J.C. Penney (NYSE:JCP) shares abruptly fell 10.2% Wednesday after a report surfaced that commercial lender CIT Group stopped supporting deliveries from smaller manufacturers to the struggling retailer's stores.
Continue Reading Below
According to the New York Post, insiders were speculating that CIT became nervous after seeing J.C. Penney's financials when it met with company officials Tuesday.
A source close to the situation told the newspaper that CIT likely "got a thorough briefing and didn't like what they heard."
A CIT spokesperson said the company does not comment on specific customers. J.C. Penney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Plano, Texas-based retailer is trying to turn things around after former Chief Executive Ron Johnson's everyday-low-price strategy failed to attract customers. In April, the company brought back former CEO Mike Ullman to take the helm.
Shares ticked higher in after-hours trading, rising eight cents to $14.68.

YORK, Pa., Nov. 7 (UPI) -- A district attorney in Pennsylvania says she is seeking the death penalty for a man accused of killing his girlfriend's infant son.
Ummad Rushdi, 30, of York County is charged with murder in the disappearance of 7-month-old Hamza Ali, the son of Rushdi's girlfriend, Zainad Gaal, 30.
Rushdi allegedly told police he shook the baby because he would not stop crying during a trip to Upper Darby in early August. Rushdi said he then unsuccessfully tried to administer CPR before burying his body near York, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
Authorities have yet to recover Hamza's remains.
At a pretrial hearing, Gaal testified during the trip, Rushdi, who had previously voiced his dislike for the baby, became upset with her and took the baby from her room. He threatened if she did not stop disobeying him, she would never see her baby again.
The next morning, Rushdi and the baby were gone, Gaal said.
In court Wednesday, Deputy District Attorney Stephanie Wills announced she was seeking the death penalty against Rushdi, citing two aggravating factors in the case: That the victim was under that age of 12 and that the murder happened while Rushdi was allegedly committing another felony, The York Daily Record reported.

Wild Host Hurricanes Thursday Night At Xcel Energy Center
The Minnesota Wild are looking for back-to-back wins when they host the Carolina Hurricanes at Xcel Energy Center Thursday night (6:30 PM, WJON). The Wild shut out Nashville Tuesday night at the X 2-0.
Minnesota will be without stud defenseman Jonas Brodin, who suffered a broken cheekbone when he took a puck to the face early in Tuesday's win. There is no timetable for his return.
Carolina is 4-2-3 this season and have not played since Saturday when they beat the New York Islanders 4-3. The Wild are 4-3-3 so far this season.


text: Emergency Straw Diets Can Work in Late Lactation June 14, 2013 06:03 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Jim Dickrell Dairy Herd Management Dairy Editor Email Emergency rations can work, at least temporarily, until new crop feed can be harvested or purchased. With last year's drought, this spring's alfalfa winterkill and this month's delayed hay harvest plaguing significant areas of the Midwest, straw can be an emergency feed for late lactation cows. Research done by Mary Beth Hall at the U.S. Dairy Forage Research Center in Wisconsin last fall with straw and beet pulp replacing some alfalfa haylage and corn silage for short periods can work. Milk production was maintained on the diets, and income over feed cost actually improved. The caveat is that the trial lasted just four weeks. "This was a pragmatic study, and not the end all and be all," she says. But it does show emergency rations can work, at least temporarily, until new crop feed can be harvested or purchased. In the trial, four diets with 0%, 3%, 6% and 9% wheat straw were fed. The wheat straw was supplemented with sugar beet pulp. Molasses was also added to prevent ration sorting. Forty-eight late lactation cows (280 days in milk), mostly first-calf heifers, were included in the trial. The cows did maintain milk production. Prior to going onto the straw diets, cows averaged 71 lb. of milk/day. At 3% straw, they averaged 72 lb.; at 6%, 69 lb., and at 9%, 68 lb. Income over feed costs, based on actual feed costs and milk prices at the time of the study, increased as the level of straw inclusion increased. But at the highest level of straw inclusion, there was some evidence of body condition mobilization as cows tried to maintain milk production. Hall cautions that this is a very short feeding trail and that more research is needed. "However, the forage substitute/high byproduct diets are viable substitutes to feed lactating dairy cows when other more traditional feeds are in short supply," she says. Back to news

In Martha Marcy May Marlene, the names say a lot. Elizabeth Olsen plays Martha, a young woman who is taken into a cult-like commune where she is renamed Marcy May by its eerily comforting yet sinister leader, Patrick (and what's his real name?) played by John Hawkes. Writer-director Sean Durkin's film soared out of Sundance partly on the strength of their harrowing performances. (Here are my separate interviews with Hugh Dancy, who gives his own magnetic performance in the film, and with Durkin.)
Olsen – who was greeted with countless headlines saying she's more than the Olsen twins' little sister – is thoroughly believable as the title character, who escapes to her sister's upscale summer house where she begins to unravel and we see the commune in flashbacks. Hawkes, so brilliant at playing nasties in films like Winter's Bone, adds a different twist with the seductive Patrick.
In this joint interview they talk about their off-screen dynamic, Martha's backstory, and how to make a crazed cult leader convincing.

King Jammy, Forbes hospitalised in Europe
TWO of Jamaica's leading music business veterans — producer/engineer Lloyd 'King Jammy' James and artiste/road manager, Copeland Forbes — have been admitted to hospitals in Europe with heart-related problems.
It is unclear exactly what is the current situation with James, who has produced some of Jamaica's biggest reggae/dancehall stars, including Black Uhuru. It has been confirmed that he suffered a heart problem while at the Garance Festival in France, where he had been slated to match dub plates with British producer/sound system operator, Neal 'Mad Professor' Fraser on July 26.
It is understood that he suffered the heart attack on the previous night, was hospitalised and underwent surgery twice. It has also been stated that while his condition caused alarm, it was not life-threatening. He had to cancel his subsequent appearances in Europe.
But, we were able to speak with Forbes from his bed at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in London on Sunday, as he was preparing for an angiogram.
An angiogram generally refers to an imaging to look at arteries in the body, to determine if there is narrowing in the arteries or other disease, which is often due to atherosclerosis. A decision is to be taken by the doctors after the result of the test is known.
Forbes left the island in a wheelchair on July 23 for London, where he has been closely connected with arrangements for the 'Respect Jamaica 50', a live concert series in London's 02 Arena, featuring 50 artistes, and produced and promoted by AEG.
This was after he had broken a leg at this year's International Reggae and World Music Awards (IRWMA) in June in Chicago, where he was recognised among reggae's Living Legends and Icons since the 1960s.
"It's like a double dose," Forbes told the Jamaica Observer, confirming that he was taken from the 02 Arena to the hospital on August 3, during the performance of Toots Hibbert.
"They told me at the hospital that everything is due to the music, and the doctors are insisting that I take a break," Forbes said.
He confirmed that, as suspected prior to their departure for London at the end of July, the artistes contracted for the 02 series resisted the offer to be streamed back to Jamaica live, as there was no contractual arrangement for video.
However, he said that there might have been some arrangement for Shaggy's performance as production manager, Allen Spriggs, got his first indication of some agreement prior to the deejay's appearance on August 3.
Forbes said that the artistes were disappointed that they were not visited by any Jamaican dignitaries while at the 02, although High Commissioner Aloun Assamba had called on August 3 and promised to visit. It could not be confirmed if the High Commissioner fulfilled the promise.

As you're making your Christmas gift selections this year, we have some tips to finding toys that are fun and help kids develop important developmental skills. Occupational Therapist Laurie Braswell, OTR/L, and Physical Therapist Africa Cook break it down by age group. Read on to learn about great toys that can promote learning.
When selecting a toy for an infant under a year of age, simpler is often better. Babies are learning to explore the world around them using their different senses (vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch), so toys should appeal to at least one of their senses.
A crib mobile can help a baby learn to watch and follow with their eyes. Try toys that have a variety of textures for the baby to touch – soft, fuzzy, bumpy or crinkly. Infants love putting toys in their mouth, so be sure that the toys you pick do not have small pieces.
Infants are also learning to coordinate their movements. Rings and rattles are great for babies to learn to grasp with their hands. Play mats and toy arches give babies the chance to learn to reach and roll. Boppy pillows are great for cradling newborns, but can also be used with older babies to help support their bodies while sitting or for putting under their chest to make tummy time a little bit easier. Tummy time is important for babies when they are awake so they can learn to push up on their arms, strengthen their neck and back, and eventually learn to crawl. Giving a baby a mirror or a light-up toy to look at can encourage them to lift their head or roll to where they can see it.
For toddlers, there are a number of toys that can promote new skills. A simple rubber ball can encourage a child to run, throw the ball, roll the ball, or begin to catch. Toddlers enjoy toys that include cause and effect – pushing a button and having an animal pop up, for example, or hitting a drum to make it play music. A toddler activity table has several different buttons and switches that can be pushed, and is a great way to work on standing and balancing too!
Preschoolers are at an age where they begin to play pretend, so any kind of toy that helps them use their imagination is a good choice. They may like a kitchen set, dress up clothes, or a toy tool box. Preschoolers will enjoy beginning to work with crayons or finger paints, and this will help prepare them for school. Construction/building sets (such as Duplos or Legos) or play dough are also a good way for a child to learn to use their hands and be creative.
School-aged children
School-aged children can keep working on their coordination by using bicycles or scooters – be sure to start them in the habit of wearing a helmet early on! Start using a bicycle with training wheels or an assist bar. Any toy that encourages movement, like a jump rope or a throw and catch set, is a good idea at this age. Craft projects are a great way to work on fine motor skills and creativity. Board games are not only a good way to work on problem solving and following directions, but they can be a fun way to get kids (and parents) playing together.
Toys that can span all ages
In general, try to look for toys that can be used for several different things. For example, a child could use a container of colored blocks to work on learning colors, or to work on stacking and building, or even as pretend "food" while playing house. Books are great for children of all ages – starting with just looking at the pages, then touching the pages, turning the pages, following along, picking out favorite pictures or items on the pages, and eventually reading on their own.
Remember, children will learn the most when they are DOING something as an active participant rather than just watching from the sidelines! A child will learn more from putting together a puzzle, bouncing a basketball or playing a board game than they will from watching TV.

Prussian Blue
Prussian Blue
|Bakersfield, California
|White nationalist pop, folk rock
|Years active
|Lynx Gaede
Lamb Gaede
Prussian Blue was an American white nationalist, Neo-Nazi pop duo formed of Lynx Vaughan Gaede[1] and Lamb Lennon Gaede,[2] fraternal twins born on June 30, 1992, in Bakersfield, California.[3] They were formed in early 2003 by their mother April Gaede. The twins referred to the Holocaust as a myth and promoted Holocaust denial[4] and their group was described as racist and white supremacist.[5][6]
Lynx and Lamb were about 14 when they decided to cease touring. In a 2011 interview with The Daily, the twins renounced their previous politics.[7]
In an interview with Vice Magazine, the twins stated, "Part of our heritage is German American. Also our eyes are blue, and Prussian Blue is just a really pretty color." They also remarked, "there is also the discussion of the lack of 'Prussian Blue' coloring (Zyklon B residue) in the so-called gas chambers in the concentration camps. We think it might make people question some of the inaccuracies of the 'Holocaust' myth."[4] This is a reference to claims made by many Holocaust deniers that the Holocaust either did not happen or had far fewer victims than generally believed.
Lynx and Lamb Gaede first performed together by singing at a white nationalist festival called "Eurofest" in 2001.[8] They began learning how to play instruments in 2002 (Lamb plays the guitar and Lynx plays the violin). In the same year they appeared on a VH1 special called Inside Hate Rock. In 2003, they were featured in a Louis Theroux BBC documentary, entitled Louis and the Nazis, on racism and white supremacy in the United States. Lamb, Lynx, and their mother, April Gaede, also appeared in the low-budget 2003 horror film Dark Walker.[9]
The twins recorded and released a debut CD at the end of 2004 called Fragment of the Future (Resistance Records) which had both acoustic folk-rock and bubblegum-pop sounds. A year later, they recorded their second album, The Path We Chose, which has a more traditional rock sound including both acoustic and electric guitar. Most of the songs on the second album lack the racial and white supremacist overtones of Fragment of the Future and are about more mainstream subject matter, like boys, crushes, and dating. On October 20, 2005, Prussian Blue was featured in a critical segment on ABC's Primetime.[5] A DVD, Blonde Hair Blue Eyes, featuring three music videos and some live performances, was released in 2005. The pair toured the United States in 2005. On August 22, 2006, they were again featured in a critical segment on ABC's Primetime.
The twins moved with their mother and stepfather, Mark Harrington, and their younger half-sister, Dresden, from Bakersfield to Kalispell in Montana, in 2006; in their mother's words, Bakersfield was "not white enough." Some of their new neighbors did not welcome them; many city residents passed out flyers warning people of the family's views, and signs proclaiming "No Hate Here" appeared on some windows around the town. Some of the people who passed out flyers received threatening letters from members of out-of-state white supremacist organizations.[10] The Montana Human Rights Network planned a rally in Kalispell to protest against the family's racist views.[10][11]
The twins toured Europe in the summer of 2007, performing at events for white nationalist organizations. They also appeared as guests on The Political Cesspool. But as of early 2009, the band's website and MySpace page no longer were operational.
The duo had strong ties to the National Vanguard organization, a "white nationalist" group formed by disaffected former members of the National Alliance. Their ideology has been described as racist and white supremacist by mainstream media outlets.[5][6][12] The Daily Telegraph reported that, on stage, the twins executed Nazi salutes.[6]
According to ABC News, the girls were homeschooled by their mother, April Gaede, an activist and writer for the white nationalist organization National Vanguard.[5] The twins' maternal grandfather, who lives in Squaw Valley, Fresno County, California, wears a Nazi swastika belt buckle; he also features the swastika on his truck and has registered it as a cattle brand.[5] During their ABC interview, the twins said they believed that Adolf Hitler was a great man with good ideas, and they described the Holocaust as being exaggerated. They have also been criticized for stipulating that goods they donated to Hurricane Katrina victims should go only to white people: "After a day of trying, the supplies ended up with few takers, dumped at a local shop that sells Confederate memorabilia."[3][6]
A 2011 profile in The Daily describes the twins' rejection of some of their previous politics:
But after enrolling in public school and moving to Montana — a predominantly white state, albeit one with a decidedly hippie-ish vibe — Lamb and Lynx decided they simply no longer believed what they'd been taught. ..."I'm glad we were in the band," Lynx said, "but I think we should have been pushed toward something a little more mainstream and easier for us to handle than being front-men for a belief system that we didn't even completely understand at that time. We were little kids.
Despite this, they still made statements that were skeptical about elements of the Holocaust.[7]
Lyrics and influences[edit]
About half of the songs on Prussian Blue's first album are covers of other songs put out by other white pride bands with one (Lamb Near the Lane) co-written by David Lane and a few of the others by Ian Stuart Donaldson and Ken McLellan. One of their infamous cover songs, "Victory Day", was a covered song from the racist band RAHOWA. Two of Prussian Blue's songs on their first album are dedicated to famous German Nazi and white nationalist activists, including Rudolf Hess and Robert Jay Mathews. One of those songs, dedicated to Donaldson, Mathews, Hess, and William L. Pierce, which was written by Lamb, is "Sacrifice".[5]
Another song, "Gone With the Breeze," is dedicated to Mathews. The cover songs on their album invoke ideas like Valhalla and Vinland, taken from Norse mythology and sagas. Several songs, including "Victory Day," refer to a holy war waged under the banner of Creativity.
The lyrics to their song "The Stranger" are taken from a Rudyard Kipling poem of the same name.
Prussian Blue also released a cover of a song called "Ocean of Warriors" in mp3 format, dedicated to white participants in the 2005 Sydney, Australia race rioting.[13]
In 2006, a compilation album was released through the far right National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD) titled For The Fatherland.[14]
Prussian Blue appeared in two British television documentaries. The first, 2003's Louis and the Nazis by documentary maker Louis Theroux, was an account of white nationalists, including Prussian Blue.[15][16] The second, Nazi Pop Twins, by James Quinn, was first aired in 2007. This documentary stressed the tension that existed between the twins and their mother, April. In this documentary, Lynx and Lamb disavowed their mother's race-related views and said that they want to perform music that was not focused on race. Lynx told Quinn that they wore the infamous T-shirts bearing a smiley face that resembled Adolf Hitler because she believed they "were a joke" and said that "being proud of being white" did not mean she was a racist.[17] Louis Theroux revisited the twins and their mother to collect material for his book Call of the Weird.
End of white nationalist politics[edit]
A 2012 article in the UK newspaper The Daily Mirror reported that the girls hold more liberal views than the politics they promoted through their music in their early teens. The twins support the legalization of marijuana. While the article characterized them as "laid-back liberals celebrating the joys of ethnic diversity" and speculates[18] if the twins' use of marijuana was part of their change of politics from white nationalism to apolitical whereas a blog belonging to one of the girls says the changes are not due to any usage of cannabis.[19]
Lamb, now going by the name Lamb Lingelser, announced on her blog that she has had a child with her boyfriend Ryan Smart. Her daughter, Oslo Iverson Smart, was born on December 12, 2015.[20][21]

Canadian Cyberbullying Bill Expands Scope, Targets Open WiFi Over Terrorism, Child Porn Fears
from the every-cyber-bill-a-Frankenstein's-monster dept
The drawn-out process in which a bill becomes a law lends itself to harmful things, like mission creep and bloating. Canada's new cyberbullying legislation, problematic in its "purest" form, is now becoming even worse as legislators have begun hanging language aimed at other issues (child porn, terrorism, cable theft [?]) on the bill's framework.
As was noted earlier, language aimed at punishing revenge porn had already been attached to the bill. But the urge to target as much as possible with a broadly written bill is too much for Canada's politicians to resist. Michael Geist notes that Bob Dechert (Secretary to the Minister of Justice) took a moment during the debate to speculate about the "dangers" of "stolen" cable.
With respect to the cable, I would like the member to consider if his cable were being tapped into by someone who was transmitting child pornography over the Internet, or if his home Wi-Fi was being tapped into by someone who was using it to cyberbully another child, he would want to know about that and he would want that to stop. The modernization of those provisions is simply to bring them up to date.The code Dechert refers to deals with theft of services. What Dechert is hoping to do is turn a targeted law into something that can be used to pursue vagaries. By throwing cyberbullying, child porn and terrorism into the mix, Dechert is hoping to limit opposition to this "update" of the language.
The amendments proposed on those long-standing offences of stealing cable are already in the Criminal Code in section 327. They simply update the telecommunication language to expand the conduct, to make it consistent with other offences…
However, I would like him to think about the potential for someone who is doing cyberbullying, transmitting child sexual images, or perhaps planning a terrorist act, doing it by tapping into some law-abiding citizen's cable or Wi-Fi Internet access.
Geist doesn't think much of Dechert's statement.
In other words, Dechert is suggesting that accessing a neighbour's cable or wireless Internet access might somehow be linked to planning a terrorist attack, sending child pornography, or engaging in cyberbullying. I would happy to think about the potential for cable theft to play a role in terrorist plots. In fact, I think most would agree that there is no likelihood whatsoever and that the government should stop trying link provisions in their "cyberbullying bill" that have nothing to do with cyberbullying.The odds, as Geist points out, are almost nonexistent. But very slim odds are a legislator's best friend. No one wants to be caught out by the unexpected, especially when they had a chance to head it off back when the bill was being written. So, a lot of "just in case" rhetoric is deployed, accompanied by fearful projections.
If this line of reasoning is allowed to proceed, Canadians could be looking at the possibility of legal penalties for running unsecured WiFi connections. It seems implausible, but this has been witnessed before. Back in 2010, a German court stated that those running open WiFi connections could be fined for not securing their networks (thus "enabling" illegal activity). Copyright maximalists have made the argument several times that an open WiFi connection is "negligent." When the realization sinks in that it's easier to target the listed subscriber rather than find out who exactly was performing criminal activities on an open WiFi connection, you can be sure that the solution will be routed along the path of least resistance: holding the subscriber responsible for the actions of others.
And, as Geist points out, the mission creep in this bill is astounding. What was meant to target cyberbullies has instead become a playground for legislators. A nearly non-existent threat is being used to beef up the penalties for cable theft, as though that part of the equation were the greatest deterrent to illegal activities. It's also concerning that the additional powers being granted to law enforcement outside of the cyberbullying scope were omitted from the government's official "introduction" to the bill (posted without the bill's text). This omission seems to indicate that the crowd-pleasing "cyberbullying" angle will allow legislators to copy-and-paste whole sections from a previously unsuccessful "lawful access" bill, itself defended with cries of "child pornography."

Church leaders around the world expressed their distress at the murder of Shahbaz Bhatti, Pakistan's minister for minorities. Gunmen ambushed Bhatti's car in broad daylight in the capital, Islamabad, on March 2. Bhatti, the cabinet's only Christian minister, had received death threats for urging reform to Pakistan's notorious blasphemy laws. Federico Lombardi, S.J., the Vatican spokesperson, said: "The assassination of Shahbaz Bhatti shows how right the Pope is in his persistent remarks concerning violence against Christians and against religious freedom in general. Bhatti was the first Catholic to hold such an office. We recall how he...bore witness to his own commitment to peaceful coexistence among the religious communities of his country. Our prayers for the victim, our condemnation for this unspeakable act of violence, our closeness to Pakistani Christians who suffer hatred are accompanied by an appeal that everyone may become aware of the urgent importance of defending both religious freedom and Christians who are subject to violence and persecution."

FAISALABAD, Pakistan — The cherub-faced 10-year-old girl was standing at a bus stop, saying goodbye to visiting relatives, when her mother noticed two motorcycles approaching, one coming down the street and the other from a graveyard behind them.
She recognized someone on one of the motorcycles: her older daughter's former fiance. He was clutching two liter-sized metal jugs.
As two men armed with a pistol on the second motorcycle kept the cluster of relatives from running away, the ex-fiance handed one of the jugs to a fourth man riding with him. Without saying anything, they flung the contents at Parveen Akhtar and her little girl, Zaib Aslam.
The jugs contained sulfuric acid bought at a local market for 88 cents.
"It felt like someone had flung fire on me," Akhtar said. "When I turned to look at Zaib, her face didn't look like a face."
In that terrible instant, much of Zaib's face was seared away and her eyelids sealed shut. The acid splashed into her mouth, severely scarring her throat.

Okay... I'm back with my baby wipes caps:)
This time, we made our own Luchos (tablets with the 10 Commandments)-
Here's what we did:
Took a piece of thick cardboard and covered it with this funky scrap-booking paper that the kiddos picked out.
Then glue gunned the wipe covers to the cardboard, 5 on each side:
Kiddos then decided what colors they wanted the cover of each cover should be and settled on a red and white pattern- their own unique creation.
My big guy then wrote Alef-Yud (for each commandment) on each paper and we glued them onto each cover.
Using 2 pages listing the 10 commandments from Parshas Yisro in My Parshah Reader, I made 1 copy of each. We cut out each one (one in English, one in Hebrew) and glued it inside the correct letter.
The kids really love opening and closing each one. Its great for discussions on each mitzvah. We might get more creative over the week and maybe add a picture in each one... but you can really add your own twist on this project.
And here's just a very cool thing we did that I wanted to share-
Using the tea cans from Starbucks, I covered them with different colored card stock, made a label, stuck it on and voila... some great quality storage bins that look really cute all lined up next to each other.
Just like the baby wipes, we have lots of these tea cans (we are tea drinkers in this house:) and they are so cute and so sturdy. Go us for saving the environment!
