The Principality of Liechtenstein, lying between the former Austrian province of Vorarlberg and the Swiss cantons of St. Gallen and Graubünden, is a sovereign State consisting of the two counties of Schellenberg and Vaduz (formerly immediate fiefs of the Roman Empire). The former in 1699 and the latter in 1712 came into the possession of the house of Liechtenstein and, by diploma of January 23, 1719, granted by the Emperor Karl VI, the two lordships were constituted as the Principality of Liechtenstein. After the Treaty of Pressburg, John I, who had succeeded his father, Aloys I, as seventh Prince in 1805, seceded from the Holy Roman Empire on July 12, 1806, and joined the Confederation of the Rhine under the Protectorate of the Emperor, Napoleon I, and after the fall of the French Empire joined the German Confederation June 8, 1815. He was succeeded in 1836 by his son, Aloys II, whose son, John II, in 1858 began his long reign, which lasted until 1929. This Prince, who was of age at his accession, saw the dissolution of the German Confederation in August, 1866, and thereafter maintained the political independence of the Principality.

If you have not heard this name yet. Trust you will be soon. The name is Eric Gordon the game is basketball. Hear might be some reasons why you have not heard this name yet, because he has been in the shadows of a few other Indiana High School players such as Greg Oden and Josh McRoberts.
Make a note of it, Eric Gordon is the real deal, and could be the National High School player of the year for 2007. If so that would mean Indiana has still continues to send out some of the best players just looking at the last three years.
Josh McRoberts was the McDonald's All-American Game MVP in 2005 and Greg Oden was the national player of the year in 2005 and 2006. Now this year it could mean Eric Gordon's time.
Some facts about Eric Gordon.
*Gordon's sophomore year he scored 22 points in the fourth quarter and ended Josh McRoberts' career in a sectional final.
*May '06 at a high-level travel-team event in North Carolina, Gordon scored an incredible 48 points in 24 minutes as his Indiana Elite squad beat the Atlanta Celtics.
* Adidas Super Star Camp MVP in both 2005 and 2006.
* Gordon has scored 1,738 points so far in his career, and although he won't catch Damon Bailey (3,134 points), with as many as 16 possible games remaining, he has a chance to move into the state's top 15 (Rick Mount, 2,139) or maybe into the top 10 into the state's top 10 all-time (Anthony Winchester, 2,256).
Look for more information about Eric Gordon coming up!
P.S. We keep hearing that Eric Gordon will be playing on ESPN 2 in Feb against Jordan's son team from Chicago more to come about this later!

Homeopathy for Constipation
Constipation is a very common problem that I come across in my daily practice. Due to the change in eating habits and lifestyle constipation has now become a universal problem. This problem is seen right from small children to the aged. This article is written in order to make people understand what constipation is and how it can be prevented and tackled.
Constipation is not a disease but a symptom that can be caused by many different conditions. There is no fixed definition of constipation. The normal frequency of stools can range from 3 stools per day to 3 stools per week. However as a rule if more than 3 days pass without a bowel motion then the person is said to be constipated. Or constipation can be defined as passage of infrequent and difficult stool. Straining to pass stool and the feeling of incomplete evacuation is also considered as constipation.
Constipation is a condition of the digestive system. The sufferer has hard feces that are difficult to expel. In most cases, this occurs because the colon has absorbed too much of the water from the food that is in the colon.
The slower the food moves through your digestive tract, the more water the colon will absorb from food. Consequently, the feces become dry and hard. Defecation (emptying the bowels) can become very painful, and in some serious cases there may be symptoms of bowel obstruction. When the constipation is very severe; when the constipation prevents the passage of feces and gas, it is called obstipation.
Misconceptions about Constipation
There are a number of misconceptions about what is a normal bowel movement. The most common one is that you have to pass motion everyday. Some people become obsessed with this and start abusing their system with laxatives or enemas when there is no real need. In fact this leads to actual constipation and other side-effects.
Another common misconception is that if you don't pass stool everyday then the body absorbs the waste products, which are poisonous and dangerous to health.
There are several different causes that can give rise to constipation. I have listed out the most common ones. Each age group also has certain different common causes.
1. Poor diet - this is the most common cause for constipation in all age groups. It is also the one cause that can easily be rectified. A person needs atleast 25 to 35 grams of fiber in their diet everyday. This helps form bulky and frequent stools. Nowadays due to the hectic pace of life and urbanization we tend to consume more refined and ready-to-eat food available in packages. This processed food has negligible amounts of fiber leading to constipation. Also people who consume a lot of dairy products like cheese, ice-cream, milk tend to get constipated. The hard core non-vegetarians who live on meat and eggs will also suffer. Remember vegetables and fruits are a must in everyone's diet.
2. Lack of Fluids - water is very necessary for passing a soft stool. If the fluid intake is poor then the stool becomes hard and causes discomfort while passing.
3. Imaginary Constipation - like I have written earlier some people have this misconception that they have to pass stools everyday otherwise it is harmful to health. In order to do this they abuse their system by taking laxatives and enemas which in turn cause actual constipation.
4. Bad bowel habits - all of us at one time or the other tend to ignore the urge to pass stool. This could be either due to unavailability of a decent restroom or because of some other important work. This is also a common cause in children who are too busy playing or have poor toilet training.
5. Travel - traveller's constipation is very common. This happens when you take a long journey or have to change to different time zones. Some people find it hard to pass stools in a strange environment and need their usual surroundings.
6. Irritable bowel syndrome - another very common cause of constipation is Irritable bowel syndrome. In this disorder the patient suffers from alternate diarrhoea and constipation. Here the contents of the intestine move slower than normal because of spasms of the colon.
7. Medications - there are a lot of medicines that can cause constipation. The most common ones are certain types of painkillers, antacids containing aluminum, antispasmodic drugs, anticonvulsant drugs, a few types of antihypertensive medicines. Also some form of iron supplement may cause constipation. As written earlier taking too many laxatives and enemas can actually cause a rebound effect and more constipation.
8. Pregnancy - pregnancy can cause problems in two ways. Mechanical pressure of the pregnant uterus compresses the intestines causing constipation. Certain hormonal changes can also add to the problem.
9. Hormonal disturbances - this is especially seen in women. Some get slightly constipated before, during or after their periods. Also those suffering from Hypothyroidism suffer from symptoms of constipation. This symptom has also been seen in some diabetics.
10. Fissures and haemorrhoids - a person suffering from fissures tends to have spasm of the anal sphincter which does not allow the stool to pass. But constipation can also give rise to fissures and piles.
11. Specific disease - there are a number of disorders which can give rise to constipation. Here are few of the common ones.
Neurological Disorders like Parkinson's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Chronic Idiopathic Intestinal Pseudo-obstruction, Stroke, Spinal cord injuries.
Systemic Disorders like Amyloidosis, systemic Lupus, Scleroderma etc…
Problems with the colon and rectum like Hirschsprung's disease, tumours, intestinal obstruction, diverticulosis, colorectal stricture, cancer.
12. Loss of body salts - sometimes constipation is a sign of dehydration and loss of body salts. This occurs when there is profuse vomiting and decrease intake of fluids and food.
13. Age - constipation is most common in the older age group. This may be due to a number of reasons. They lose interest in eating or stop eating in depression. Also loss of teeth leads to eating soft and easy processed food which is poor in fiber. This age group also has to take a number of medications listed above causing constipation.
As I have mentioned earlier these are only a few of the common causes for constipation. In each individual the cause may differ. Constipation in children is also common with different set of causes.
Many patients ask me this question. No, although very annoying and troubling constipation by itself is not dangerous. However the underlying cause of constipation can be a serious problem. In some cases of colorectal cancer constipation may be the only symptom. Also constipation can cause other problems like fissures, piles, rectal prolapse, bleeding from the rectum, fecal impaction etc…
Anal fissures are caused when a hard stool stretches the anal sphincter muscles. Piles are caused due to straining and pressure exerted while passing stool. Due to straining sometimes a small amount of intestinal lining also protrudes from the anal opening leading to rectal prolapse.
Fecal impaction takes place when the hard stool is packed so tightly in the intestine that the normal pushing and straining action is not enough to expel it. The stool has to be mechanically removed either with a finger or by some other method.
There are some causes that can easily be corrected avoiding constipation from occurring. We have to find the underlying cause of the constipation first. Most of the time it is just a simple fault in the diet and lifestyle.
1. Diet - we need atleast 25 to 35 grams of fiber in our daily diet in order to have a soft, bulky stool. Natural fiber is available in Fruits, Vegetables like sprouts, cabbage, carrots, Whole grains, Bran cereals, Lapsi, Dalia, Oats, Beans etc… People who live on dairy products like milk, ice-cream, cheese, meat and processed food get little or no fiber from their diet and end up with constipation.
2. Fluids - you must drink atleast 10 to 12 glasses of water minimum if you want to avoid constipation. Liquids in the form of soups, fruit or vegetable juices, dals are also useful. However liquids containing caffeine like coffee, colas etc… and alcohol have a dehydrating effect and do not help.
3. Exercise - the role of exercise is still unclear but in a certain study done it showed that regular exercising did prevent constipation from occurring.
4. Do not ignore the urge to pass stool - doing this makes you prone to develop constipation. Also allow yourself everyday enough time to pass a normal motion.
5. Specific causes - if you have a hormonal imbalance like in case of Hypothyroidism the appropriate medication will help. If your blood pressure medicine is causing problems then ask your doctor to change it if possible. In these cases the constipation will be relieved if the cause is treated and the correct lifestyle followed.
There are a number of laxatives and enemas available in the market. Some of the different types are:-
1. Bulk forming laxatives - this type is said to be the safest.
2. Stimulants
3. Stool softeners
4. Lubricants
5. Saline laxatives
Some people also take enemas which can be plain hot water or medicated. All these have their own set of side-effects and if taken repeated the body becomes use to it and then higher and bigger doses are required. If there is a mechanical problem like tumour or intestinal obstruction then a surgical procedure maybe needed.
Some people also take certain ayurvedic concoctions which help them pass normal stools daily. But the best treatment for mild constipation is just correction of diet and lifestyle as described above and no medicines are needed.
However if the person is suffering from constipation and problems arising from it like piles and fissures then Homoeopathy should be given. There are a number of excellent remedies in our system of medicine which have proven extremely effective for these problems. In Homoeopathy each patient is treated as a different person with his or her own set of symptoms. Therefore no two people suffering from the same problem will necessarily receive the same drug. But there are some medicines which have proven more effective where the symptoms are present.
If the constipation is due to partial paralysis of the rectum then this remedy should be thought of. The patient will complaint of ineffectual urging to pass stool but will pass only very small bits. The stools are hard, small and covered with mucous that makes it look shiny like grease. The rectum feels sore and burns. This is only better by cold water. This is also useful where the large piles are obstructing the passage of stool.
There might be prolapse of the anus while coughing. All the symptoms are aggravated by walking.
Causticum should be given in order to relieve the symptoms.
Nux Vomica is one of the top grade Homeopathic medicines for constipation. The hallmark symptom to look out for before prescribing Nux Vomica is insufficient and unsatisfactory stool. Bowel evacuations are scanty and incomplete, with ineffectual urge to pass stool. The person goes to clear bowels frequently, but the feeling of incomplete bowel clearance persists. Another key symptom is a constant uneasiness in the rectum, a feeling that part of the stool remains in rectum, a feeling of constriction in the rectum. Nux Vomica is one of the majorly indicated Homeopathic medicines for constipation in people leading a sedentary lifestyle with little or no physical activity.
This is a very useful remedy in cases of fissures of the anus caused by constipation or vice versa. The anus feels very sore and constricted. The patient describes the pain as if the rectum is full of broken glasses. There are sudden spasms with knife-like stabbing pains.
Fissures of the anus is a prominent symptom. Here cracks develop around the anus. Stools have to be expelled with great effort and the rectal area aches and burns for hours after stool. Only cold water gives some relief. Ratanhia has also proved to be a very useful remedy in treating pinworms.
Bryonia is another of the wonderful Homeopathic medicines for constipation. I have found Bryonia to be especially effective in constipation cases where the stool is hard, dry and difficult. The stool is passed with much straining. It is hard, large and dry as if burnt. Burning sensation in the anus may be felt while passing stool. Distension of abdomen and headache may also appear.
Alumina –
In my experience, Alumina is one of the best Homeopathic medicines for constipation with soft, but difficult stool. The stool may be clay-like and sticky. A characteristic symptom is that passing stool requires much straining. Another unique symptom to look out for prescribing Alumina is absence of urge to pass stool for days together until there is large accumulation of stool in the intestines. I have found Alumina extremely effective in treating constipation in infants, bottle fed babies and elderly persons as well.

Yesterday Twist & Sprout made a special visit to Lorna's old high school in Kilmarnock.
'Killie' (as Lorna likes to call it) is about 20 minutes past Glasgow on the motorway.
I'd never been before, all my family are in Glasgow so that's as far as we'd ever go on the lovely M8.
In all honesty, Lorna's many tales from growing up made me think we might need to keep the doors locked at the traffic lights.
As we finally reached our destination, the sun was shining, the birds were singing and with a nice bit of Bob Dylan on the stereo – it was difficult to feel the fear i'd been prepared to feel!
As we pulled into the car park, I turned to Lorna and said –
"…seriously? This place is way nicer than my high school!"
St Josephs school had been completely rebuilt 3 years ago and I think the ethos was given a once over too.
So, why were we there in the first place?
The Enspire festival…
'Enspire' is an exciting new festival taking place on 9 June run entirely by young people in St Joseph's Academy, Kilmarnock. Inspired by the world famous TED Talks a team of S4 pupils from St. Joseph's Academy in Kilmarnock have organised their own home-grown festival of ideas: Enspire.
Enspire is being designed and curated by an S4 Enterprise class who have established an events business called ID Launch. They have been working towards this all year. The purpose of Enspire is simple: to harness energy, creativity and ideas to make a difference by thinking differently. The festival is based around three powerful words: reinvention, inspiration and transformation. All presentations will take as their starting point the themes of reinvention, inspiration or transformation. The festival also features bands, comedy, entertainment and great local food cooked by their pop-up restaurant.
Naturally, with Lorna being an ex-pupil co-running her own business 'Twist & Sprout' (Healthy living form the inside out…) she was snapped up a while ago before we'd even booked in any other Edinburgh based events.
This was also an event Twist & Sprout could not turn down – any chance to get healthy food into strangers bellies, encourage conscious choices, inspire and spread the love… we're in!
Even after being warned of the up-hill struggle we may ave had before us, I was absolutely blown away by St Josephs efforts to inspire their students and encourage them to shoot for the stars!
The entrance way showcased the most incredible plaque with a mission statement that would blow any government out of the water!
If these are the kids of tomorrow – I feel we can all breathe a little sigh of releif.
Each and every student was so helpful, generous and friendly.
They seemed to be genuinely interested in their ideas and cause.
All in all the day was pretty quiet, there were not many guests and we left with a more left over cacao smoothie than expected..
…that said, seeing these kids totally rock it out on INSPIRATION and TRANSFORMATION left me full to the brim with positivity and motivation.
Their quote for the day… "Be the change you wish to see in the world"…
…stood out and shouted louder than anything else for me.
These kids are actually doing it and we should too.

U Mad?
It really is one of the great losses of comic books that almost none of them run fan-mail nowdays, primarily due to the internet. It's a great joy reading old comics and seeing fan mail from future celebrities, future comic book writers, as well as the counterparts to modern day internet forum-types. There were even some prominent letter writers who became famous in their own right like T.M. Maple, there were even memes, such as the infamous "Spanking Lois Lane" letters that ran in various Superman titles.
So get ready to dig into some of my favorite (and least favorite) comic book letters of all-time. You'll laugh, cry and foam at the mouth in rage.
Here's a hilariously over-the-top reaction to what today's online posters would call a "fridging" in an issue of Sub-Mariner. How ironic that this male fan is far more eloquent, heartfelt, and more effective at getting his point across than any of the feminazis you see on websites like Scans_Daily, a website which even the 4chan guys won't touch. I really hope this dude became a writer, because this is funny as hell.
Now here's a rather creepy letter, especially given that Deb Whitman, the character whom this woman is talking about (and clearly identifies with) was also abused by her husband. Dark humor or a thinly-veiled cry for help? You decide.
Ah, flippancy.
Now here's some hate-mail from a fan who knows his comics history. It's also the earliest defense of Fredric Wertham from a comics fan that I've ever seen. That said, I find it ironic that his criticisms could easily apply to today's comics just as much:
Now here are two moving letters which prove just how powerful a medium comics can be to some people, with the first acting as a great piece of evidence against Stan Lee-bashers who say his work never touched anybody and that it was all about the artists, especially considering that it's talking about an issue of his much-dismissed Silver Surfer run, which is generally described as "trying too hard". Maybe, but it worked for this man:Now here's a response to the famous "Demon in A Bottle" arc from Iron Man:
But to balance out the heartwarming-ness, here are some letters which will make you want to see the writers burn in hell:
I'm never going to Australia. Also, I love how the editor is trying his best to keep his cool. To be fair, several other people have called out that Hulk/AIDS story as forced or unfitting for the title, John Kricfalusi brings it up all the time when he's ragging on superhero comics, but that still doesn't justify crap like this.
Here's a similar letter over Pied Piper's outing in The Flash that is too over-the-top to even be offensive, but is still just as ignorant:
I myself have issues with why Messner-Loebs decided to out Piper (which seemed primarily to be because of the character's flamboyant costumes and an issue where he disguised himself as a hairdresser) and have wondered why he didn't use The Trickster or Abra Kadabra (who I don't think had yet been turned into the psycho he would later become) in the role of Flash's "Gay reformed villain" friend, but on the bright side, at least it kept the character from ending up like Mad Hatter, Toyman and other fairy-tale/kids stuff-based villains.
And now for one of the biggest cases of irony ever:
'Yep, Blade sure must have ruined Tomb of Dracula; because he's now the only thing people remember about it besides Gene Colan's artwork and the awful anime it inspired.
All these letters lack is a Simpsons-quote or a hateful comment about Justin Bieber, and they could pass for modern internet posts. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Do you ever have times when life seems to have an ongoing theme? When, for months, maybe even years, you see and hear and "chance" upon things that add to and build on one another? Things you'd never really thought much about before?
I certainly have of late – and, actually, as I think back to how things and thoughts have built on one another – each making new ideas and possibilities more . . . I don't know . . . more pure and clear – I see that it hasn't been so much just "of late". I feel like it's been . . . ongoing in bits and pieces since Anders' birth over three years ago. At least noticeably since then. (And no no, the theme isn't bird houses. I just put them there because they were fun to look at. And they certainly are a theme around my yard lately! I think my kids have hung five around our house so far and there are several more crowding up my laundry-room shelf waiting for their owners to paint and hang them. I don't know why. Why the bird houses?)
The theme has been one of . . . connection. Of the Lord's hand. Of people having greater capabilities to know and love – and the Lord having greater capabilities in connecting those people – than I ever would have guessed before. In fact, I would have felt it was presumptuous to even suggest before.
It came in the form of a thin veil, and a sense of bustling, and excitement, and goodbyes on the morning Anders was born. It came after he was born -- in thoughts I would have, and things I would find myself uttering to his little baby self that were hardly part of my conscious mortal mind at all. Things like, "I told you not to worry. I told you it would work. I told you we'd be together again." It came even earlier I suppose, on a run after Jesse's birth when I knew, simply and clearly, that I wasn't done with my family because I hadn't yet fulfilled a promise to Summer. I hadn't yet brought her here. It came in the midst of a horrible post-surgery foot infection when, as I sat pondering on a great-grandfather I never met (in this life) and knew little about, I felt a sudden, unmistakable, and shocking jolt of connection – of a closeness I never dreamt existed. A closeness that transcended mortality. A closeness I'd forgotten.
It's come in a million ways since then. In ponderings and whisperings. In quotes and scriptures and feelings and sacred experiences. Less and less does it seem "presumptuous" to assume my very own Father in Heaven would place me among people I already knew and loved. More and more it seems like the very thing He would do. As I have considered on my relationship with Heavenly Father, as I have come to truly believe that it is possible – not only possible, but natural, and easy – for Him to be absolutely aware of every moment, every thought and every influence, every worry and joy in my life at the same time as He is aware of those things for everyone else (not only among those of us living, but those who have already lived here, and those who will yet come); it has occurred to me that maybe, just maybe, before I came here – before I inherited this fallen, mortal state – before I became so blind and limited in my capabilities – perhaps, as His eternal daughter, as someone who actually has the potential to become like Him -- I might possibly have had some small portion of that ability. Perhaps I was more capable of loving deeply, knowing intimately and caring greatly about a vast number of my spirit brothers and sisters than this mortal, restricted me can fathom.
I'm not suggesting fate. I'm suggesting greater connection and closeness and love among, well, all of us, but most especially among those God places in our lives . . . than we can yet comprehend.
I recently came across these Neal Maxwell quotes that so beautifully summed up parts of what my own soul and thoughts have been stretching towards.
"I am so grateful . . . for a part of mortality that we sometimes overlook: the intertwinings of our lives. I acknowledge the Lord's hand in these intersections. Some here have heard me say that one of the reasons we love each other in the kingdom is that our friendships are not friendships of initiation at all but are, instead, friendships of resumption! . . .
"It should not surprise us, brothers and sisters, that Heavenly Father brings about these intersectings and intertwinings of our lives. . . .
"You and I may call these intersectings 'coincidence.' This word is understandable for mortals to use, but coincidence is not an appropriate word to describe the workings of an omniscient God. He does not do things by 'coincidence' but instead by 'divine design.'"
My love for Heavenly Father has grown so much lately. It has grown mostly . . . because I have begun to know how well He knows me, and how much He actually loves me. I am so grateful to be here – in mortality – living this hard and wonderful life. How does the poet describe it? "Your one wild and precious life"? I love that I am here. I love that I am here with my brothers and sisters. I am recognizing them more and more as just that. And I am so grateful SO GRATEFUL for the "intertwinings" and "intersectings" in my life. I think one day I will be among those angels in heaven singing praises to my God – and it won't only be for this chance to progress and the Atonement making it possible. It will be for a thousand unimaginable extras – His hand in my life, and Him surrounding me and connecting me with . . . my people!

FAO radio types (hi zapsta)
tell me a bit about radio production, please.
i was thinking of that
but there are too many people with far bigger egos than me who would elbow their way to the front of that line. so no.
i even posted it twice
that's how heartbroken i am.
^ This
except for Zonino which is pretty much DiS if it was Virtual Reality
Apparently I have a good radio voice
if i dont stutter and trip over myself... most contridicting compliment EVER! Or it could mean i'm just simply too ugly for TV :(
you could still do it
just never listen to it
or alternatively you could put FX on your voice
I want to sound like the winamp guy!
IT really kicks the llamas ass
could i do that?
CD and two cups with string
BOOM Radio 1
More of a muffled 'thunk'
surely? Not exactly hi-fi that set up there.
not presenting
producing. production. y'know?
'radio production' not quite clear enough?
sorry, i will try my very hardest to do better next time. x
I would love to go on the radio
but I would just DJ and play tunes I would probibly get an MC in or something
It's ridiculously easy...
At least, to get the basics (will take about 5 minutes to learn) and then with practice you get good at it. The industry standard software used to be called Cool Edit Pro, and is now called Adobe something - shouldn't be too hard to download illegally form somewhere.
If you're a student, you should just head down to your uni radio station - large egos are not so much abundent in these places, they're outnumbered by friendly-and-odd music geeks and techies. They're probably drumming up new members right now!
If you want to learn to produce pre-recorded stuff, then see if you can joint the news or speech departments. They'll train you, and if they're anything like I was, they'll be more than happy to have more people willing to put things together.
Hope that in some way helps.
yeah it was for student radio i had in mind
thanks for the only actual helpful post in this thread :)
or something, they wouldn't stfu about it
EVERY student radio station in the country is "award winning"
Which means that they have all, pretty much, won at least 1 "Student Radio Award" in the last 10 years.
Going to the Student Radio Awards is actually probably the best thing about student radio. Drinking free Red Stripe and embarassing yourself in front of Steve Lamaq ftw.

United Nations: The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) will hold a ministerial-level meeting on Friday on the "threats and challenges" posed by North Korea to international peace and security.
UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres and the United States secretary of state Rex Tillerson are expected to be present at the meeting to be chaired by Japanese foreign minister Taro Kono, with the presence of a North Korean representative, reports Xinhua news agency.
Japan, the rotating chair of the UNSC in December, has circulated a note, suggesting Security Council members could focus on nuclear and missile development programs as well as other weapons of mass destruction.
Members have also been asked to consider ways to maximise pressure on Pyongyang, including through full implementation of relevant Council resolutions and additional sanctions measures "in response to further provocations".

David Mortensen, Ph.D. interviewed by: Chris Walters
David Mortensen, Ph.D., is a professor of weed ecology at Penn State. Back in early 2012 he led a team of co-authors who produced a paper called "Navigating a Critical Juncture in Sustainable Weed Management." The equivalent of an agricultural bombshell, it delivered unhappy news about the consequences of engineering crops to withstand more than one pesticide. Noting the remarkable ability of weeds to evolve resistance strategies, Mortensen and his co-authors predicted ecological disaster if crops engineered to permit the return of 2,4-D and dicamba are put into circulation. The article's predictions of exponentially rising auxinic herbicide use were shocking until it emerged that the USDA's estimates were even higher. Over two years later, as biotechnology's latest assault draws closer to final regulatory approval or refusal, it seemed like a good idea to check in with Mortensen. Author of dozens of research papers, he is a veteran of decades working in fields alongside farmers in Iowa, Maryland, and many states in between.
ACRES U.S.A. What is the crux of the issue here?
DAVID MORTENSEN. This new technology that's going to "save" herbicide- resistant crops — that is, the new stacked-trait herbicide-resistant crops — in my view is going in exactly the wrong direction. It's going in the wrong direction for a number of reasons, not least of which is that if we adopt them we are going to double or triple herbicide use on our major commodity crops, corn and soybean, with significant increases in use on cotton. We tried to be conservative and careful in our Critical Juncture paper with that estimate of doubling and tripling herbicide use. We spent months debating that amongst the co-authors. Thus it's intriguing for me to read in the USDA's own assessment that we will increase use of auxinic herbicides four to seven-fold if we approve these new crops, as the USDA seems to be leaning toward doing. I find it bordering on maddening to think that's an acceptable trajectory to put ourselves on. It goes against everything I've worked on for the past 30 years. Continue Reading →

Who doesn't love frames?! I know that I do! I guess that is why I make so many! Ha! I just wanted to throw out a quick little shameless plug since Christmas is coming up and all!
I am planning on buying a brand new fancy schmancy camera as my own personal Christmas present...but, of course...I need money to do that! I am raising money for my camera by selling more and more of my frames! I would love for you to order some as Christmas presents! They also make great baby gifts, birthday gifts, and house warming presents!
The great thing about these is that you can get them personalized however you like! Whatever color you want...whatever names/words that you want...etc! Each one is completely different and personal! They are only $25 each and that includes shipping in the United States!
Send me an email and we will come up with something for you!
Here are some samples of ones that I have made in the past (some of these are still available if you want one of them! but like i said...i can make a brand new one for you too!!) :

Somerset House has opened its doors putting the spotlight on the woman who helped catapult McQueen to international acclaim, Isabella Blow.
Isabella Blow: Fashion Galore! not only piles of dresses of the fashion editor and stylist, who tragically took her own life in 2007, but also explores her significance on late 20th and early 21st-century fashion through her relationship with the two designers she was closest to: McQueen and Philip Treacy.
This exhibition wouldn't have been possible otherwise, thanks to Daphne Guinness, who stopped an auction at Christie's by buying the collection in its entirety.

I've been closely following an interesting set of events that followed a review of the Tesla Model S by a New York Times reporter and I'm sure enough people know about it. The issue by large lies with the electric car technology, it simply is not yet ready for a fair comparison with it's engine powered counterpart. The technology is young, and Tesla in my opinion has exceeded expectations of what an electric car can do at such an early stage. There are two fundamental short comings that is holding it from being the new Model T.
1. Batteries and Charging, that will lost a little longer than 200 miles given all scenarios
2. Sustainable source of power for charging the car so it is carbon neutral
But I can understand what Elon Musk is doing, he is preparing for the future which is what the rest of the auto-mobile industry should be doing. Even the best engines are never going to achieve the efficiency that modern electric motors have (which is nearly 100%). They can also not easily eliminate emissions. The electric car is also in fact one the best incentives we have to build more wind farms and solar power stations. I watched a documentary today called Page One , which talked about how the New York Times is loosing relevance with new readers and struggling to maintain because of how quickly technology is changing. Given incidents like this, I think it is only making it worse for them. Reporters need to be better informed of how the technology works before jumping into unfair conclusions.
Watch this video, where he faced criticism for SpaceX. Fast forward to 11m 05s.

Aligarh, Apr 14 (PTI) Aligarh Muslim University Students Union (AMUSU) has condemned the filing of an FIR against some student leaders for participating in a protest march against incidents of violence allegedly involving cow vigilantes.
"Police stand by when innocent farmers and cattle-traders are targeted by armed mobs but lose no time to slap cases against those who are exercising their fundamental right for peaceful protest," AMU students union President Faizul Hasan said condemning the filing FIR on students.
He was referring to the students march on April 12 where he had said he would "fully support" any move for a national ban on cow slaughter. During the protest, he had also demanded establishing fast track courts to try the cases against those indulging in violence in the name of cow protection.
A case has been filed against 81 students at the civil lines police station for taking out the procession without getting official permission.
Hasan said the students union will hold a special meeting today to chalk out its course of action in the wake of the "coercive step" taken by the district authorities.
Hasan also said the AMUSU is whole-heartedly behind the ongoing efforts for securing justice of Kulbhushan Jadhav who has been awarded death sentence by a Pakistan military court.
"We strongly condemn the inhumane approach of Pakistan and we want that Prime Minister Modi should not hesitate to use his personal equation with his Pakistani counterpart for securing Jadhavs release," he said. PTI CORR ABN TIR

Making travel arrangements to suit your funds, we be certain that your trip is as economical as enjoyable. Since, such online cab booking and resort booking is done through the travel portals of the organizations, it's higher to search these organizations in serps to create their genuineness.
Budget travel planning for these destinations must be completed separately for every vacation spot. Travelers without children shouldn't be too fast to judge or get indignant with babies on a public mode of transportation. Granted, they are able to get you a flight; it just won't be at the absolute best worth, slicing into your travel price range. It can be a provisional insurance, for the exact interval of the journey or a continuous one, in case you propose a number of journeys a year or travel longer.

Federal Jobs Minister Michaelia Cash claims she is being bullied by Labor, after deciding to challenge a court order to give evidence over raids on Australian Workers Union offices.
However, Labor has accused the minister of avoiding scrutiny, as two agencies revealed they had already spent more than $600,000 of taxpayers' money on the case.
The court case relates to two raids in October on the AWU's headquarters in Melbourne and Sydney.
Senator Cash went on the counter-attack on Wednesday after being issued a subpoena to give evidence in the Federal Court on August 1 and provide documents by June 20.
"Today is just another effort by the union movement to protect Bill Shorten," she told reporters in Canberra.
Senator Cash will apply to have the subpoena, which she says is a union stunt, set aside before a June 8 case management hearing.
The raids stemmed from a Registered Organisations Commission investigation into a $100,000 donation from the AWU to activist group GetUp in 2006.
Senator Cash said Mr Shorten had questions to answer over the donation, given he was secretary of the union and a director of GetUp at the time.
The raids drew scrutiny after the media arrived at the offices before police, thanks to a tip-off from Senator Cash's media adviser, David De Garis, who later quit over the incident.
Mr De Garis has also been issued a subpoena, along with Fair Work Ombudsman employee Mark Lee and Registered Organisations Commission official Chris Enright.
AWU national secretary Daniel Walton said the union had a long-held belief the raids and investigation were unlawful.
"If we are to understand exactly what happened then we believe the testimony of these individuals is critical," Mr Walton said in a statement.
Labor deputy leader Tanya Plibersek quizzed the prime minister in parliament over why the minister was avoiding scrutiny.
"If Senator Cash has nothing to hide from the Federal Court, why does she not show up?" Ms Plibersek said.
Malcolm Turnbull said his minister was "not a party to the proceedings".
Labor frontbencher Anthony Albanese said the AWU's donation to GetUp was "nothing unusual", nor was its support for Mr Shorten's entry in federal politics.
Senator Cash rejected calls to reappear before Senate estimates after a committee invited her to answer questions about the subpoena.
"I will not be bullied by the Australian Labor Party," the minister said.
Senator Cash said she was not at the hearing because she was not responsible for the portfolio, which is held by Workplace Minister Craig Laundy.
In December, Senator Cash was ordered to hand over emails, text messages and documents linked to raids.
The Federal Court found the AWU had a legitimate reason to see documents from Senator Cash's office to determine if there was political motivation for the raids.

The School Health Services will be conducting spinal screenings on Monday, February 9th for 6th grade girls and Tuesday, February 10th for 6th grade boys. The purpose of spinal screening is to detect the signs of abnormal curves of the spine at their earliest stages so that the need for treatment can be determined. Scoliosis, a common spinal abnormality found in adolescents, is a sideways twisting of the spine. It is usually detected in children between 10 and 14 years of age. Kyphosis, sometimes called round back, is an exaggerated rounding of the upper back and is often confused with poor posture. Many cases of curvature of the spine are mild and require only ongoing observation by a physician when they are first diagnosed. Others can worsen with time as the child grows and require active treatment such as bracing and surgery. Early treatment can prevent the development of a severe deformity, which can affect a person's appearance and health.
The procedure for screening is simple. Screeners will look at your child's back while he/she stands and then bends forward. For this examination, boys and girls will be screened separately and individually. Screenings will be done during PE class in the locker rooms. If your student does not have PE, we will pull them from another class period that day to be screened.
ALL STUDENTS MUST REMOVE THEIR SHIRTS FOR THIS EXAM. GIRLS ARE REQUESTED TO WEAR A HALTER TOP, TUBE TOP, SPORTS BRA, OR A TWO-PIECE SWIMSUIT UNDERNEATH THEIR SHIRT ON EXAM DAY (Monday, February 9th).
Parents will be notified of the results of the screening only if professional follow-up is necessary. This screening procedure does not replace your child's need for regular health care and check-ups.
According to Texas law, all children in grades 6 and 9 are required to be screened. If, for religious reasons, you do not wish to have your child screened, you are to submit an affidavit of exemption to this office no later than Friday, February 6th.
Please see the attachments for more detailed information about scoliosis and spinal screening. Screening Information Screening Information - Spanish

Introduction to Cloud App Security
Introduction to Cloud App Security
With the explosion of the cloud, learning how to secure your cloud app, and the data associated with it, has become crucial. Read on to learn the basics of cloud sec!

Discover how to provide active runtime protection for your web applications from known and unknown vulnerabilities including Remote Code Execution Attacks.
Providing a secure app or application is a fundamental requirement. This is especially true in a cloud environment. In my post about "Securing Workloads on the IBM Cloud," I discussed the various layers that realize secure cloud computing. Today, I want to focus solely on apps that are built for deployment in the IBM Cloud. What makes up a secure app? What cloud services help establishing app security? Let's take a look together.
Application Security
Building and maintaining a secure app covers many aspects. Some deal with the intended (well-behaving) users, some with the "bad guys":
- Authentication: Most of us have an identity card, passport, or an (access/company) badge. We show those documents to establish our name and person. They help prove that we are the real "Henrik" and not some fake. Authentication is the process of identification, of identifying a specific user.
- Authorization: Once a person or user has been identified (authenticated), the next step is to establish the granted privileges. What is the user authorized to do? I am allowed to enter building "A" on campus, but not the data center. I have read access to some account data, but I cannot modify any order information or give discounts. Note that often the combination of authentication and authorization are referred to as Identity and Access Management (IAM).
- Secure App Code: All experienced developers know that their code contains bugs. Some of the code defects are harmless, some cause app vulnerabilities. By applying code analysis and performing penetration tests common holes can be found. The app code can be secured.
- Data Security: When considering data security, often there is a differentiation about data-at-rest (stored data), data-in-transit (in transmission) and data-in-use (currently processed in a computer). Data that is handled by the application needs to be stored (data-at-rest) in a way, so that only authorized (required – "need to know") users have access to it. Moreover, data encryption helps to reduce risks of unauthorized copies and low-level access. Protecting data-in-use is a matter of the cloud infrastructure which I discussed earlier.
- Secure Routes: Connections (data-in-transit) to the app as well as from the app to services and resources needs to be secured, i.e., encrypted. This makes sure others on the network cannot simply listen to the data traffic.
- Audit and Monitoring: Once the other measures are implemented and the app is in production, the app behavior and user interactions need to be monitored for anomalies. Depending on the app type, regular audits of app and data access may be needed.
There are more topics that could be listed for what contributes to app security. The IBM Secure Engineering Framework (SEF) lists nine categories for security requirements alone. So, it is quite complex already. Moreover, we could consider that many laws as most regulations require "state of the art" effort to protect an app and its data. Thus, it requires regular reassessments of whether all building blocks for app security are in place and are up-to-date.
To focus on the application logic, the functionality and business side, developers can delegate or "outsource" some of the security tasks. How this can be done for the IBM Cloud with Bluemix is discussed in this second part of the introduction to Cloud App Security.

SEATTLE — Breanna Stewart scored nine of her 25 points in the fourth quarter, and the Seattle Storm held off the Washington Mystics 75-73 on Sunday to take a 2-0 lead in the WNBA Finals.
Seattle will head to Washington for Game 3 on Wednesday night needing only a split back east to claim the third title in franchise history.
Stewart went nearly 18 minutes of game time without scoring, but was responsible for six of Seattle's final seven points as the Storm held off Washington's late rally. Seattle led 70-65 after Stewart's hook in the lane with 4:25 left, and was the Storm's last field goal. Washington's Kristi Toliver made two difficult jumpers in the final 90 seconds to keep Washington within one, but the Mystics were unable to get a shot up on their next possession trailing 74-73, when Toliver lost the ball going baseline and a mad scramble led to a jump ball Seattle won.
The ensuing jump ball between Natasha Howard and Tianna Hawkins ended up in the hands of Jewell Loyd. Seattle was able to run seven seconds off the clock before Alysha Clark was fouled and her free throw gave Seattle a two-point lead. Washington was out of timeouts and couldn't advance the ball into the front court. Atkins' desperation half-court shot at the buzzer was well off.
Elena Delle Donne led the Mystics with 17 points but was scoreless in the fourth quarter, taking just one shot.
Toliver and Ariel Atkins both added 15 points for Washington. But the Mystics missed all 16 3-point attempts.
Loyd finished with 13 points.
Stewart went nearly 18 minutes of game time without scoring. She split free throws with 3:21 left in the first quarter then didn't score again until a pair of free throws with 5:36 left in the third quarter. She went even longer without a made basket, finally snapping a 22-minute stretch without a field goal hitting a 17-footer with 1:49 left in the quarter.
Despite Stewart finally getting back on the score sheet, Delle Donne and the Mystics continued to have answers. Her three-point play late in the third pushed Washington's lead to five and the Mystics took a 61-58 lead to the fourth. That was the final points of the game for Delle Donne, while Stewart was continually fed by her teammates in the fourth.
Seattle has won seven straight Finals games dating to 2004. They have never lost a Finals game at home. ... It was the first time this season Washington failed to make a 3-pointer. ... Bird had 8 points on 3 of 12 shooting.
Game 3 is Wednesday night in Washington.
