U.S. soybean ending stocks for the 2012-13 marketing year are estimated at 125 million bushels (3.4 million tonnes), or 4% of consumption. That would be the lowest level in history.
Unlike corn, the rationing process necessitated by last summer's drought did not materialize broadly. Domestic usage is forecast to fall below last season's by 5%, but exports have fared better than expected. The current USDA estimate for 2012-13 exports is 36.61 million tonnes, about the same as last season. Export commitments to date, however, stand at 35.49 million tonnes, with five months left to the marketing year. Last year at this juncture of the season commitments were only 30.84 million tonnes.
Naturally, old-crop sales are going to taper off, because the U.S. is all but sold out, and overseas buyers will be turning to South American origins until the U.S. 2013-14 crop is harvested this coming fall. Recent activity, though, shows that there is still demand for U.S. old crop. There were two weeks in mid-February of net cancellations, and it appeared that it was over for the season. In the following three weeks, however, sales bounced back, averaging 528,000 tonnes, which is very robust for this time of year.
Falling crush margins in China could temper its seemingly insatiable appetite for beans. The risk of further cancellations can therefore not be dismissed, but is limited because shipments have been very strong. As of the most recent export report, 31.67 million tonnes, or 86.5% of the USDA target, have been shipped. That is about the average ratio for shipments-to-final sales at this point of the season. In the meantime, Brazilian ports are congested, with delayed shipments estimated to be as long as 50 days. On March 19 a Chinese importer canceled a shipment of 2 million tonnes because of frustration over the delay. So it's a good bet we're not likely to see heavy US cancellations over the next month or so. By that time, we should be at or near the USDA target.
Weekly export data have become the key indicator to follow to determine the direction of old-crop prices. In addition, on March 29 we'll get further insight into the domestic demand picture with the quarterly stocks report. The first comprehensive look at the 2013-14 marketing year will also come on March 29, with the release of the planting intentions report.
The USDA Outlook Forum in February provided a preliminary forecast for planted acres. Soybean area was estimated at 77.5 million acres. That would be just 300,000 acres above 2012-13 plantings and equal to the record set in 2009-10, but of course, yields are expected to bounce back. Yields for the 2012-13 drought-ravaged crop reached only 39.6 bushels per acre (bpa), down from the 5-year average of 42.2 bpa. The Outlook estimate calls for record yields of 44.5 bpa. With normal weather, US farmers should harvest 3.405 billion bushels of beans (92.8 million tonnes), 13% more than in 2012-13. That would exceed the record 3.359 billion bushels (91.5 million tonnes) set in 2009-10.

Orthodox Fellowship of the Transfiguration
The Orthodox Fellowship of the Transfiguration (OFT) proclaims the ecological mission of the Orthodox Church as . . . the Reconciliation of All Things in Christ!
OFT exists to hallow God's Name 'on earth as it is in heaven' by seeking the transfiguration of creation through the activation of the Christian calling toward transfigured life. In the context of the liturgical life of the Orthodox Church, the Fellowship seeks to extend the transfiguring activity of the sacraments into all creation through ascetic practice, the keeping of the commandments and the acquisition of virtue, thus restoring the beauty and integrity of God's earthly temple.
OFT became a SCOBA endorsed organization in 2006. It is a pan-Orthodox effort overseen by a nine member Steering Committee and aided by an eight member Advisory Board.
The office of OFT is located in Santa Rosa, California, where the Executive Director, Fred Krueger, maintains an extensive library of creation related resources, and administers program development and educational communication with OFT members. To date, OFT has published newsletters, organized Christ in the Wilderness program events in Washington, California, Massachusetts and New York, a follow-up correspondence course on The Virtues & Ecological Practice, and an Orthodox Climate Initiative.
Articles, other information, publications for sale, email contact and mailing address are accessible online at the OFT website, which also features the OFT Community Forum which anyone can access upon registering, and where OFT Members can communicate with each other via a Members private group.

Posted on June 12, 2009
To me, our sixteenth president was always the ultimate Man of the People. The fact that he came from back-country, rural folk was part of it, and the fact that he liked to tell jokes, and…and…well, really, it was because he was on the penny. All those other presidents were on such high, elite denominations–nickels, dimes, and quarters–that I had very little business with. But Abraham Lincoln…to me he will always be copper-colored (with wheat on his back.)
Anyway, it's Abraham Lincoln's bicentennial this year, if you've missed the hype and hoophooraw. In recognition of this, the Book Fair has added its first new category in a couple of years by putting all the Lincoln books together. (This could become permanent. Next year, after all, is the 150th anniversary of his election to the Presidency, and we have five years of the Civil War Sesquicentennial to follow.)
We do not, so far, have a copy of Lincoln's Doctor's Dog, the title suggested by a columnist as a surefire path to Bestsellerdom. But we have plenty of others. You can have Lincoln as Man of the People or Lincoln as ignorant lawyer who just got lucky. You can take home enough Carl Sandburg to break the axle of your Continental, or you can carry home a little green volume done for the George Washington Bicentennial in which every remark Abe ever made about George has been collected.
And you can cover all the great unsolved mysteries. We have books to argue whether he had a mad passion for Anne Rutledge or whether that's a myth (current thinking is "myth", but this goes back and forth), whether he and his wife had a good marriage or a bad one (he complained about her spending and she once shied a frying pan at him because he was reading while she was telling him about her day: sounds normal by modern sitcom standards), whether his mother was illegitimate (he wondered about this himself), whether he was himself illegitimate (an illegitimate grandson of John C. Calhoun, no less, according to one book which has NOT won the Pulitzer for History), and even whether or not Stephen A. Douglas held his hat for him at his First Inaugural.
So empty those jars of pennies and come buy something about the man on them. Or use five dollar bills, if you insist on being efficient. I don't really need your pennies to feel nostalgic. Just writing this has taken me back decades and shown me how little things REALLY change. Once I sat on the floor and played with Lincoln Logs.
Today it's Lincoln blogs.

When I knew I was giving that talk at Wellesley, I took three vacation days this week--Monday and Tuesday to get there and back (if at all possible I like to limit all business-like travel to 24 hours, that way, it's not any different for the kids than me being on call) and Wednesday to decompress in case travel was awful. GOOD PLANNING, ME. Having the extra day off also allowed me to squeak in my 20 week OB appointment without too much logistical hassle, which was nice. I like making doctor's appointments for the morning if I can, because I figure it's less time for the practitioners to accumulate serial delays over the whole day of seeing people (they are inevitable, and really not their fault, especially if they are trying to do a good job with each patient), but because of my work schedule, usually I have to make appointments for the afternoon.
Also, I would like to point out (see above) that you can find plenty of maternity-ish tops in non-maternity sections, see that Old Navy tank up above. It probably won't work in another month or two, but generally (and this I found with my first two pregnancies as well) Old Navy and some other stores tend to cut their clothing overlarge and somewhat billowy, so what may be a really unflattering shape for a non-pregola (I would never have bought this shirt under other circumstances) works out great for the parturient, at least up through the second trimester. Also, non-maternity clothing tends to be cheaper, because it's not considered "specialty." More choices in cut and color too. I got a whole scad of these T-shirts when they were super on sale after Christmas (I ordered my usual size but in "Tall" so I could have a longer shirt-tail to cover the unfortunate elastic waisting of my pants) and they look much better than regular maternity T-shirts, which can tend to have more of a tent-like cut. Anyway! Girl talk! Clothes! Shopping! (These links are not sponsored, by the way, I just thought I'd share what I've learned from clothing myself these past three pregnancies. Especially since, not knowing what I know now, I gave ALL my maternity clothes to Goodwill this past Spring after we moved--like, SMOOTH MOVES, EX-LAX.)
Wait, what? You want to know about what? The...oh! Right. The ultrasound.
Let me say first that I really like this OB practice we're with. I was a little less than crazy about the group that we used for Mack (and obviously I'm not going to say who they were), but given that we've moved since then and would probably be delivering at a different hospital anyway, it was as good a time as any to switch practices. Anyway, this group is a bit smaller, more personal, and they spend quite a bit of time talking to their patients, which, even as a third-time-arounder, I really appreciate. Also, for all of the routine ultrasounds, an OB is actually doing the scan himself, which is very nice, especially since he really explains what he's looking at and isn't bound, like a tech, to not make diagnostic calls or say certain things for medicolegal reasons. Anyway, we like both doctors with this group a lot, and I think they are excellent clinicians.
And we got some really nice pictures. (Ignore the "Wondershare" watermark, it's just because I had to download some software to do the video file conversion blah blah blah nerd talk. CARRY ON.)
"Hey little guy! Look at him go!" said Joe, when he saw Thing 3 moving around. (I'd forgotten that he's only seen still images thus far.)
"Yeah, he's moving around a lot now," I confirmed. We walked through the head, the heart, the abdomen, the cord, looked at his little face, his arms, his legs, everything. "He looks great!"
"Yeah, he does," the OB, measuring this that or the other thing. "Although, if we keep calling him 'he,' I guess we should actually look at that part too, to confirm."
"Oh yeah. Sure, take another look."
"What did I say last time?" the OB asked, flipping through my chart. "We said boy?"
"You said you were 99% sure he was a boy, but you also said couldn't get a super-fantastic view."
"OK then, so let's see here..." He looked. Then he looked. Then he looked again.
Joe and I also looked. "Uh..."
"I said boy?" The OB froze the frame. "I was wrong there. Nope, totally wrong. It's obvious now. Huh, funny, usually when I made a wrong call, it's the other way around."
"Well, it was only 16 weeks..."
"Yeah, more difficult to say on a 4 oz. 16 week fetus...though, usually, I have to say, it's pretty obvious even at that stage. Regardless, I think it's pretty clear now."
"Wait, so..."
"It's a girl. 100% certain this time. You guys are having a girl."
Well, hell. I hope she doesn't mind wearing a whole lot of blue clothing for the first 3 months.
Obviously we're thrilled to bits and aren't fussy about the clothing--and whatever, babies can't read anyway.

Understanding R.A. – Buckle Me UpJanuary 9, 2010 at 12:03 am | Posted in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 1 Comment
Rheumatoid arthritis is a very hard disease to get to grips with – not just because one has to learn to live with the fact that it's a progressive and incurable disease (at the moment), but because you just don't know how it's going to affect you day to day, and because everyone's R.A. is different. If it's hard for those of us who suffer from the darned thing, spare a moment to think how hard it is for those that don't! We bloggers often vent our frustrations in our blogs about the lack of understanding from the general public, but if we don't help them to understand then nobody will. Health professionals certainly won't – they can't; unless they have R.A. then they don't know what it's like themselves, and if they do have R.A. then their rheumatoid arthritis will affect them differently to the way that mine affects me or yours affects you. So it's up to us, not to stop whinging, after all that's one of the purposes of my blog, to get my whinges and frustrations out safely, but to at least take the time to put people straight when they make dumb or ignorant comments, not out of malice but simply because they don't understand.
I get frustrated when my neighbour tells me that his mate down the road also has arthritis and that it was caused by him being overweight and if I lost weight I might be cured. I get frustrated when a friend tells me that she knows someone with rheumatoid arthritis and he's obviously just putting it on and using it as an excuse because he says he can't get out of bed in the mornings and go to work, but there he is in the pub in the evening playing darts. I get frustrated when my consultant tells me that, compared with most people they see in the rheumy department my R.A. really is peanuts. I get really frustrated when friends tell me all I have to do to get better is eat more sprouts or rub some magic potion into my joints.
I spend a lot of time getting frustrated but not nearly enough time putting all these misguided people right.
So it's good to know that there's a group out there who are going all out to set the record straight and to help to educate the general public and friends and relatives of all autoimmune arthritis sufferers (apparently 'sufferer' isn't PC, but I'd say anyone with autoimmune arthritis (Rheumatoid Arthritis, Juvenile Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Reactive Arthritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Scleroderma, Systemic Lupus Erythematosis) is a sufferer, to one extent or another!) about what rheumatoid arthritis really is and what it does and how we live with it. I hope you'll consider supporting them.
The "Buckle Me Up!" International Autoimmune Arthritis Movement (IAAM) is an up-and-coming, worldwide nonprofit which will focus exclusively on helping the autoimmune arthritis sufferer*. Their mission: committed to eliminating autoimmune arthritis, and diminishing the disability associated with it, by raising global awareness and improving the quality of life through education, partnerships and support. It is a nonprofit formed by autoimmune arthritis sufferers, run by autoimmune arthritis sufferers and, therefore, will continue to address the problems faced by autoimmune arthritis sufferers. This will partly take place by partnering with other organizations, and they have already joined forces with the Arthritis Foundation and are working on partnering with other arthritis-based charities both nationally and internationally. In addition to partnerships, a primary focus is to make a lot of noise, verbally and visually, by re-branding the misconceptions of the term "arthritis". Examples include the published web-commercial series, "A Day with RA", showing the realities of living with an autoimmune arthritis disease, developing the first official autoimmune arthritis charity bracelets, and being featured on MyRACentral.com and WebMDtv's "RA in the News" (Summer 2009). They hope to continue this level of exposure in all autoimmune arthritis arenas, including creating web-series awareness commercials for each autoimmune arthritis condition.
If all the autoimmune arthritis sufferers around the world come together, we can make this a reality. But first, we must raise money to finance the legal fees and start up costs to become an official nonprofit. So, today, many autoimmune arthritis blogs are joining forces to reach out to our community of sufferers for help. The IAAM is asking for $1 donations to assist with these start up costs. Every dollar earned will bring us all one step closer to being understood.
To view a complete list of start up costs and to send your $1 donation, please visit the Bucklemeup website donation page.
Let's all work together to bring awareness to our misunderstood conditions!

- INTERPOL The Hague
Member since :
13 June 1956
Law enforcement services in The Netherlands are managed by the Minister of Security and Justice.
Reorganized into one single national police force in January 2013, the new National Police of the Netherlands, called 'Politie' in Dutch, is made up of 10 regional units, a Central Unit for specialist police activities and a Police Service Centre for all business operations. The new structure is characterized by strong cooperation within one organization, performed seamlessly at three policing levels: local, regional and national.
Force Command
The Force Command, which has a headquarters function, develops policy and makes strategic decisions at national level. Composed of the Commissioner, Deputy Commissioners and the Chief Information Officer, the Force Command is supported by the Commissioner's Staff.
Central Unit
Whilst each regional unit is operationally self-sufficient, the National Police includes one central unit which performs both independent and support tasks. Headed by a Chief Constable, the Central Unit is responsible for cross-regional and specialist police activities, including forensic investigations, canine and equestrian units and helicopter police.
Operational divisions of the Central Unit include:
- Central Operations Division: coordination, monitoring and steering of national police operations;
- Central Criminal Investigations Division: serious organized crime, sex crimes committed against children, environmental crime, terrorism and high-tech crime;
- Central Operational Cooperation Division: operational support and sophisticated technological services for covert activities. Includes the National Forensic Service Centre;
- Central Infrastructure Division: safety and crime fighting along the main transport arteries and hubs in The Netherlands;
- Central Security and Protection Division: protection of individuals, objects and services at national, regional, and local levels. Works closely with the National Coordinator for Security and Counter-Terrorism and the Public Prosecution Service;
- Special Interventions Division: serious violence and terrorism;
- Central Intelligence Division: coordination of law enforcement information in the Netherlands and its exchange at international level. INTERPOL The Hague is part of the Central Intelligence Division.
Regional Units
Headed by a Chief Constable, each of the 10 regional units is responsible for police activities in that region. Each unit includes:
- Regional Operations Division: the link between the regional police organization and the activities of the police on the ground;
- Regional Criminal Investigations Division: investigation of criminal groups and serious crime;
- Regional Intelligence Division: provides the Regional Unit with up-to-date information in the form of threat assessments and advice;
- Regional Operational Cooperation Division: conflict and crisis management, this division also functions as a service centre for calls from the public.
Each regional unit is geographically sub-divided into a number of police districts made up of precincts, referred to as 'Robust Frontline Teams', which serve the municipality or several small municipalities. The districts are the link between the regional level of the unit and the local level at which the frontline teams operate. All districts have a Criminal Investigations Team, an Intelligence Centre and a Flex Team. District Flex Teams can provide temporary additional human resources to help frontline teams address specific events. Their core task is to support problem-driven responses, both in public order and in criminal investigation.
Independent law enforcement bodies
In addition to the National Police, other independent national law enforcement bodies include:
- The Royal Netherlands Marechaussee;
- Customs;
- The Fiscal Information and Investigation Service;
- The Social Intelligence and Investigation Service;
- Intelligence and Investigation Service of the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate;
- Intelligence and Investigation Service of the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority .
INTERPOL The Hague
The INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB) for The Netherlands works with all INTERPOL member countries, linking their investigations to Dutch law enforcement bodies and the public prosecution services. It helps INTERPOL NCBs worldwide to carry out investigations involving The Netherlands or Dutch nationals abroad.
The NCB, called the INTERPOL Desk as part of the Central Intelligence Division, operates as the national point of contact for domestic law enforcement agencies requiring help in international investigations.
It is made up of 12 people whose task is the swift and efficient exchange of sensitive information within the INTERPOL community, using INTERPOL's secure global police network, I-24/7.

Donald William May passed on to be with his Lord early Wednesday morning, Nov. 14, 2012.
Donald William May passed on to be with his Lord early Wednesday morning, Nov. 14, 2012.
After an heroic six year battle with a myriad of diseases culminating in liver cancer, he slipped away peacefully in his home surrounded by his family.
An alumni of University of Michigan, Don also held a doctorate in theology from Princeton University. He was a minister through W. Michigan Presbytery; a certified pilot (being in the Civil Air Patrol) and a fairly successful drag car racer in the area circuits in his early adulthood. He was in management/sales for several area car dealerships.
Don owned businesses throughout his lifetime, beginning with a pizza shop at age 16 and ending with May's Corner Party Store (Ionia) from 1995 to 2007, which he owned and operated with his wife and children. He loved fishing, golfing, driving, flying and his 20-plus years of poker with his "Great 8" poker buddies.
Born in Garden City, Mich., on Sept. 9, 1946, he is preceded in death by his parents Donald Francis May and Marcella Jean (Stuvenberg) May, parents-in-law Herbert and Charlotte Haag; as well as aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Cherished in his heart, Don is with them all now, fishing pole in hand.
Donald is survived by his wife of 25 years, Cynthia (Haag) May; his daughters Lesa May (Lee) and Jessica May; his son Michael May; grandchildren Alex Lee and Louella Eliason; and many cousins, nieces, nephews and one sister. He has taught us all to be strong, brave, face our challenges and treat each day as a celebration of life.
Don's final wishes have been carried out to the last detail. Therefore, no funeral service will be held. His earthly shell had been donated to MedCure, Inc. Research Facility with the hope that learning more about his illnesses may prevent someone else's pain and suffering. When he has "taught" them all he can, his cremated remains will be returned to his family, at which time a private memorial service will be held in his honor.
Donald's wife and family wish to express their deep gratitude for prayers and comfort from our many dear friends and to the countless nurses and doctors at Sparrow-Ionia ER, Spectrum-Butterworth, Spectrum-Blodgett, Life EMS and Spectrum Health Aero-Med, all of whom have been such an integral part of our lives these last few years. Our most heartfelt thanks goes to Spectrum Hospice, who brought honor, dignity, strength comfort and compassion to us in his last month on this earth. There are no words to express how truly grateful we are to Don's Hospice Team.
Anyone wishing to make a memorial donation in Don's honor is asked to please send it to Spectrum Health Hospice and Palliative Care. Make your donation simply and securely online at spectrum-health.org/give or check payable to Spectrum Health Foundation, 100 Michigan St., NE, Grand Rapids, MI, 49503.

Natural gas tumbled the most in 15 weeks as revised forecasts showing an unusually warm start to December signaled reduced demand for heating fuels.
Futures dropped as much as 4.6 percent after companies including Commodity Weather Group LLC predicted above-normal temperatures for the lower 48 states over the next six to 10 days. Gas rose to a 13-month high last week after forecasts showed colder weather in early December and a government report showed a bigger-than-expected inventory decline.
"A little bit of cold that we had is coming to a quick end," said Dominick Chirichella, senior partner at the Energy Management Institute in New York. "If the weather does turn out to be warmer than normal, we could see" more gas additions to stockpiles.
Natural gas for December delivery fell 15.7 cents, or 4 percent, to $3.744 per million British thermal units at 11:25 a.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange after dropping 18.1 cents to $3.72 in the biggest intraday percentage decline since Aug. 10. Gas is up 5.7 percent from a year ago.
The futures climbed to $3.933 during the previous trading session, the highest intraday price since Nov. 1, 2011. Electronic trading volume was 147,008 contracts today at 11:28 a.m. compared with about 110,000 at the same time on Nov. 23.
"The perception is that the market was a bit overbought last week" amid low volume because of the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, said Bob Yawger, director of the futures division at Mizuho Securities USA Inc. in New York. "It looks like the drive to $4 has definitely stalled for the time being."
Milder Weather
December may start much warmer than usual across the U.S., with highs possibly reaching into the 60s Fahrenheit (15 to 20 Celsius) in the Midwest and along the East Coast, said Matt Rogers, president of Commodity Weather Group in Bethesda, Maryland.
Average temperatures from Dec. 1 to Dec. 5 may be 5 degrees above normal in the East and as much as 15 degrees higher across the Midwest, including Chicago, Rogers said.
"After cool conditions linger in the Midwest and East this week, a strong warm-up is still slated to expand across the nation," Rogers said. The warm weather won't dominate December as a whole, Rogers said in a note to clients today.
By Dec. 6, temperatures across the northern Great Plains and the South are expected to return to seasonal levels while remaining about 5 degrees above normal in the U.S. Northeast, Rogers said.

For those who've asked, the part of the song "She Evil Carries Roses" about the dream is the verse that starts off, "Rushing past the mirror on the door." That pretty much recounts the dream casting the protagonist as the "she" of the title, rather than me. There was a mirror on the door of the room I slept in whenever I visited. In the dream, I woke up (though I wasn't actually awake, that was part of the dream) and walked toward that mirror. I noticed my own image inside was crying. So I reached into the mirror and grasped myself by the shoulders to calm myself. At that moment a very serene me peered in from behind the crying me, just quietly observing the scene without any emotion.
There's probably some deep psychological meaning behind that. But who cares? I don't know how old I was when I had the dream. But I would guess between 14 and 18.
I put a new article on Suicide Girls today, that I kind of like. You don't need to be a member to see the articles and you won't accidentally see any naked boobies unless you pay to see them. I know some people can't access SG from various places. I wish I had a solution for you. But I don't. I'm not supposed to re-post the SG articles anywhere else according to my contract with them. It's pretty stupid anyone would block the non-pay portion of their site since there's no "porn" in that part. Such is puritanism, I suppose.
My first teacher Tim wants me to write him an article about the creeping threat of standardization in American Buddhism. Gotta get to work on that. On the one hand, I understand the desire for standards to keep it from being a case where just anybody can say, "Yup, I'm a Zen Master" and get away with it. That's happened before and will probably happen again. But I figure the Sixties and Seventies are over, no matter how much everybody keeps trying to revive them. People in general aren't quite as naive about Eastern religions as they once were. Once we're more acclimated to Zen teachers and other Buddhist types in our midst, we'll be less likely to be so awe struck by anyone who uses words like "karma" and "dharma." Less likely to drop our panties for anyone in a set of robes. Which I admit is a bummer for me, but a boon for the philosophy.
Still, we do have crap like Big Mind® (whose funding comes from Zen Master Rama, referenced above -- big surprise!) and all that still making cash. So there is need for some kind of general knowledge. But I don't think making sure everybody wears the same robes and chants the same chants is gonna help very much. Anyway, I'll give this whole thing some more thought and get down to cases writing the article.
Yesterday I went out and bought the Nirvana: Unplugged In New York DVD. As I'm sure I've bragged before, 0DFx played with the Meat Puppets in 1983. They were without a doubt the band I was most impressed with of all the bands we opened for. The Misfits were close. But the Meat Puppets were better. When their second album came out it just blew my brains out. It's the only record I ever literally wore out by playing it too many times. After several weeks it just sounded like complete shit because the grooves had been worn down. I had to buy another copy.
I liked Nirvana from the start. But when they invited the Meat Puppets on their MTV unplugged show and played three of the songs from Meat Puppets II that clinched them as a truly hip group in my mind. It's so sad Kurt Cobain couldn't get his shit together in the end.
Pretty spiffy DVD. But I agree with the review on Suicide Girls about the extras. The interviews with people who were there pretty much tell you all you need to know about how fucked up things were towards the end. Seeing a buncha fuckin' clueless executive types in the front row all nervous because Kurt invited the Meat Puppets as guests instead of Eddie Vedder or whoever could hardly have been inspiring.
I gotta go. Have a nice one!

Perfect In Case of Slips or Falls
Get Security and Protection for Your Loved ones with our Medical Alert Systems.
Make Them feel Safe in Their Own Home.
Don't Delay – Call Today for Peace of Mind!
Call hours – Mon-Sun 5am-11pm
While the rapidly rising population of seniors in CA as well as recent changes to Medicare almost certainly guarantee a drastic spike in healthcare costs, this increase can be slowed. Preventative measures are the key to lowering healthcare costs in the United States, as it decreases the amount of costly emergency care and the many expenditures that come when an individual is no longer able to live in their homes.
A medical alert system is a simple health monitoring device ideal for seniors who live alone, or are suffering from heart-related ailments and chronic diseases such as arthritis, diabetes, and osteoporosis. It utilizes the latest information technology and provides care in assisted living facilities. Some of the features of a medical alert system are automatic voice to voice communication, remote call answering, adjustable volume controls, and monthly test call reminders.
Medical Alert devices are electronic gadgets worn on your body to alert your family, friends and doctor in case of a medical emergency. They are normally meant for senior citizens, but they are equally crucial for all those who suffer from serious and debilitating diseases like cardiovascular conditions, asthma, allergies, neurological problems, epilepsy, fainting, blindness and numerous other medical conditions.
You also need to take in account any health problems you may have. If you have any conditions that affect your speed or mobility such as Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis, or any other physical handicaps, a medical alarm can be a lifeline for you. All you need to do is wear a medical alert pendant transmitter that comes in the form of a necklace or wristband. These are should be waterproof and should be worn at all times in the home especially in the shower and tub.
When you need help press the medical alert systems help button on your necklace or wristband. In less than a minute, an operator will begin to speak to you through the speaker box which is part of your medical alert system. You then have the chance to tell the operator if you need assistance. Of course, if you cannot speak, the monitoring center will treat it as an emergency and dispatch the local paramedics immediately. And the best part is, you never have to reach for the phone.

Reasons to use Medical Alert Systems in Five Points California
At some point, there's a real possibility that a senior will suffer from a fall. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one-third of people over age 65 fall every year; falls are the leading fatal and nonfatal injury for this group. More than half of all falls occur in the home, according to the website NIHSeniorHealth.gov.
Medical alert systems can help seniors and people with disabilities remain in their own homes and are essential tools for independent living.
Medical alert systems are good tools, but the children and relatives have to ensure that it's actually worn by their loved ones. There have been cases where the senior fell but was not able to ask for help because the button was just hanging by the bed rail, or left on the kitchen table.
Senior medical alert systems have been around for decades. To this day, it continues to be a highly sought after product because many realize that it can literally save lives. With a system set-up at home, assistance is close by all the time. The testimonials surrounding it bear witness to the value of it.
One of the best things about this particular type of system is that it allows two-way communication from anywhere within the home. This is often done remotely, as there are speakers that are installed in all of the rooms inside of the home in order to provide those that have the alert system with the convenience of being able to talk about their situation during the time that the medical professionals are on their way. Always make sure that you review these systems carefully, as not all of them are going to give you the options which will be convenient for every individual.
Research shows medical alarm systems provide users and their families with a sense of security. But this sense is more than just a feeling, as one study found medical monitoring systems drastically reduced mortality rates and cut hospital use by nearly 60 percent.
Despite the benefits medical alarm systems provide to older adults, only 16 percent of seniors participating in the study had a PERS in their homes. With baby boomers expected to increase the elderly population to 54 million in 2020, a heightened awareness of the benefits medical alert devices offer could prolong the independence and well-being of many seniors to come.

In the past, a subscriber to a Medical Alert Service would very often have to purchase the equipment and enter into a long term contract for the ongoing monitoring service. These days, most services are paid for with a simple monthly payment that covers the rental of the equipment and the monitoring service and the contract can be terminated by the subscriber whenever they choose.
It may be difficult to believe that a simple home service like a medical alert system can help reduce the costs of senior care so greatly. However, there are many ways in which medical alert systems can act as somewhat of a replacement for certain types of home care. Let's take a look at some of the average costs of senior health care and how a medical alert system can help lower the overall costs.
Be sure to keep in mind that the use of a medical alert system is typically free, and just carries a monthly monitoring fee ranging from about $17.95-$24.95. Annually, our advertised medical alert system will cost no more than $215.40. Hopefully this will help more easily put its cost in perspective in comparison to all the other costly senior care expenses.
Taking care of senior family members can be very stressful because there are too many unexpected incidents you have to face. By getting a good medical alert system, you will have a peaceful mind in life.
Companies that offer Medical Alert Systems in Five Points California
Bay Alarm Medical is a business that provides medical alert systems nationwide. Their head company is Bay Alarm, which is an established name in the home security systems field. Bay Alarm features top quality systems which are very easy to set up as well as easy to use. Even among the technically-challenged, consumers do not have any difficulty configuring Bay Alarm systems on their own.
ADT is an established home security business and is well-known for it. Not everyone knows, however ADT also provides senior emergency alert systems. Consumers find their services dependable. Distributors nationwide provide additional customer service when it comes to installation. This works well with customers and users who prefer that service technicians help them to set up their systems. This add-on service requires an installation payment though. The ADT medical alert base unit has built-in temperature change receptors. It can be set to send an alert if the temperature is too high, which is helpful in case there is a fire. ADT medical alert has an initial one-year contract for their service.
As an industry leader Life Alert is a letdown. The prices are too high and the sales process is confusing and unclear. The features are somewhat limited, and the lack of automated systems testing is a big drawback. They do offer a good service, but you are probably better off looking at alternatives that offer similar quality at a lower price.
Medscope Medical Alert Systems offer their subscribers not just high-tech equipments, but something more than that – peace of mind. It's comforting to know, especially for those who live alone, that with just one push of a button, there are trained emergency operators that'll immediately respond to all your calls.

What's included in the $35 monthly fee? Aside from the 24/7 emergency operators, the complete equipment package includes the response machine unit, 10-foot phone cord line, low-voltage AC adapter, and the bracelets or necklace transmitter. The system is totally easy to set-up – you can watch the instructional video on the company's official website. After you've completely connected the system, it is important to take note that you have to test if it's working by pushing the transmitter button, so it can call up their operator – the process should only take about a maximum of 40 seconds.
Many companies are promoting medical alert systems. These products are rated based on handiness, compactness, effectiveness, efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The medical alert systems are available locally with retailers. Apart from this, the net has sites that sell the systems online. LifeLink medical alert system, Rescue Alert system, AlertOne home emergency response program is some of the popular medical alarm systems available.

Is there any progress? I just bought an used 1212M (old version with firewire onboard) and I'd like to replace my old M-audio 2496 with it. The basic playback funcinality (alsa driver 1.0.14rc2) works perfectly, but with jack it is unusable due to hundreds of xruns every second :( Also it seems it works in 16bit mode only. I didn't tested either S/PDIF or ADAT inputs yet, but as far as there is not currently possible to sync card to S/PDIF IN or ADAT IN clock, it makes little sense to use them.

Will MIDI be supported on the 1212M ? -- c-75-66-75-86.hsd1.tn.comcast.net (2007-03-16 06:02:23) At least MIDI out works for me. Even the wavetable synth works but it is out of tune at 44100kHz. At 48kHz it's OK. I also found that jack works correctly at 48kHz, though only 2 I/O ports available on 1212M. At 44.1kHz only playback works correctly with jack, while duplex/capture mode produces a lot of xruns. -- dsl-tn-6-43.static.adsl.vol.cz (2007-03-18 18:37:52) James, 'just found your page.

Florian -- yktgi01e0-s5.watson.ibm.com (2007-04-18 06:01:34) So the old 1212M (with Firewire) is working, the new one (without Firewire) not?

For multichannel recording you need to use hw:X,2 device, where X is an index od your e-mu card. Then open alsamixer and route any 8 channels you want to record to DSP0 - DSP7. With my patch it works with any input, analog or digital (tested with ADA8000 adat converter and various S/PDIF devices). BTW, now we have code which enables 16 channel recording. Stay tuned ;) Ctirad -- dsl-tn-6-43.static.adsl.vol.cz (2007-05-28 22:19:16) I worked with it again this morning and I got 4 of the inputs on my ADA8000 to work and send sound to Ardour but it would not record....it is more than likely my lack of knowledge how AlsaMixer, Jack and Ardour all work together...I had the same issue with Cubase, Nuendo and the EMU DSP.....after I figured it out it worked well....I did successfully record ZynAddSubFX MIDI in analog to Ardour.... Where is this located..."For multichannel recording you need to use hw:X,2 device"..is it in alsamixer or a config file...

Then you have to set which alsa device will be used for capture and playback (the simplest way is to use qjackctl for that) . There are several possibilities on e-mu. Let's say e-mu is the only card in your system, so it has index 0. Then hw:0,0 is stereo, 16bit only. Do not use it for capture. However, it's probably the best device for playback for now, because multichannel playback is currently broken. hw:0,2 is multichannel capture capable of 8 channles at 24 bit resolution. Always use that for capture. hw:0,3 is multichannel playback of 16 channels at 16bit. It does not work reliably a need to be reworked (24 bit, proper sync at 44kHz, etc..). So most reliable setup for e-mu cards is hw:0,2 for capture and hw:0,0 for playback (you can use them simultaneously). Now about the routing. There are a lot of ports called "DSP <number>" it he mixer. At first look it's rather confusing. Actually, there are two groups od "DSP" ports. One group is for input (DSP 0 to DSP 15, hexadecimal numbering! ) and it's the first bunch of "DSP" from left in alsamixer (bottom line). The other group is for playback (DSP 0 to DSP 31, decimal numbering, OMG!!!). First 8 inputs (DSP 0 - DSP 7) are used for capture (you will see and hear them in the jack). Other inputs are mapped directly onto their output brothers with same number (don't forget, that inputs are hexadecimal, so DSP A is mapped to DSP 10, DSP 12 to DSP 18, etc..). Otput works same, so if you use hw:0,0 (2 channels) for playback, then you will hear them on outputs DSP 0 and DSP 1.

I tried it again and I got the ZynAddSubFX to record a track and I really liked the quality....I tried to put a guitar track to it and it sounded way tinny no matter how I adjusted the levels....it works fine in Windoze with the EMU DSP.....I have a V-Amp 2 that I use for effects on my guitars and then go straight into the ADA8000...never had any issues with the Windoze Nuendo, so I do not know whats up with that....maybe the 48k or something....I usually record at 41k and 24 bit...I stuck the track on my site if you want to hear it....I used Ardour, Jack and ZynAddSubFX to track the MIDI, exported it out and then imported it into my Nuendo so I could lay a guitar track down...I like the ZynAddSubFX better than Atmosphere and I will be glad to get it to work out....I wish I could do the MIDI straight into Ardour like I do with Nuendo and use VST's....It probably can be done with Linux I just have not read the right site just yet....I had a learning curve with Cubase and Nuendo as well and it took me quite some time to figure it all out....

With regards to your enquiries, I am afraid that currently we have support for Windows and Mac operating systems only. As Linux is a flexible operating system where there is a network of independent developers working on softwares that allows more applications to function on Linux, what we can assist you is to feedback the information to the relevant development department. As such it will be up to the development team to determine if this is within the product means. We appreciate your interest and when Creative do announce the latest driver/application updates, we typically will include the information on our www.creative.com website. We encourage you to look at that resource for product information. In case you need any clarifications, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you.

Screeching noises out of Audigy 2 ZS
I'm having a hard time sorting through all the details here.
I'm running Kubuntu Maverick 10.10 with a "SB Audigy 2 ZS [SB0350] (rev.4, serial:0x20021102) at 0xb400, irq 18" according to pacmd list-sinks.
I can play sound through it, but if there's any network activity (just opening a simple web page), sound out is replaced with a screeching noise! I've had this problem with Kubuntu 9.10 that just used Xine to ALSA, and it continues with 10.10 that uses PulseAudio. I wound up telling KDE to prefer my built-in VIA 8237 sound, which doesn't screech.

Testing MIDI?
Where's a simple guide to testing the MIDI out capabilities of this, or any sound card? I downloaded a midi file, but but VLC says it doesn't know how to play it and aplay just makes noise. I realize there are insanely complex MIDI programs like rosegarden with dozens of dependencies, but I don't want to synthesize midi, just play some through the card if it's possible. My PC has /dev/snd/midi* devices , but no /dev/midi or //dev/sequencer. ???

The Friends of the Lower Suwannee & Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuges will hold a Group Paddle and Picnic in the town of Suwannee. Join us for an easy (beginners welcome), short (3.8 miles, two hours), fresh water paddle on Lock Creek, through Riverine swamp along the Suwannee River.
Meet at 9:30 a.m. at the public boat ramp on CR 349, in Suwannee, just north of Anderson Landing Campground. Park across the highway in the gravel parking lot. The Friends will have printed panels available showing the Lock Creek Trail and will review them with paddlers before the event. We will each pair up with one or two other paddlers to look out for each other during the trip.
Bring your own kayak or rent one in town. Bring a lunch and we will gather after the paddle to eat together at the community center just down the road, across the highway from Salt Creek restaurant.
The event is weather dependent. Email firstname.lastname@example.com to indicate your interest and give us a way to reach you if we need to cancel.
A downloadable version of the trail is available at www.paddleLSCKrefuges.org. More information, including information about boat rentals, is on our website at www.friendsofrefuges.org.

School district seeks more relevance in classrooms
• Express probabilities as fractions, percents or decimals.
• Classify triangles according to angle size and/or length of sides.Then the consultant, Dr. Bill Daggett, produced other questions: Calculate percentages of advertising in a newspaper. Tour the school building and identify examples of parallel and perpendicular lines, planes and angles. The last two questions are asking essentially for the same answers, but students are far more likely to respond positively to them, Daggett said. "That's a framework that's interesting and relevant to students," said Dr. Beth Everitt, the district superintendent. "It's important to put their work into a context that they can understand." She invited Daggett to Aiken to meet with educators and discuss reforms on reaching children most effectively in the classroom. A study of 75 high-achieving schools highlights their focus on rigor and relationships along with the skills and knowledge they have to learn. "It goes beyond academics and includes the need for personal skills, which employers tell us," Everitt said. "They want to know how people get along and where they're going in their careers. The world is changing and will continue to change. Education has to change with it." She readily acknowledges that the Aiken County School District still must continue to search for effective strategies in conjunction with principals and teachers. But good things in classrooms are already under way, she said. Dr. King Laurence, the associate superintendent for instruction, had attended other events that featured Daggett, along with other district educators. The biggest part of the message, Laurence said, is that schools have to change the way they've operated. The tests given to students primarily assess knowledge. "What we need to be teaching and assessing is how knowledge can be applied to the real world," Laurence said. Where are the most demanding reading requirements in a school environment? It's not advanced courses in traditional classrooms, Daggett said. Rather, the most challenging reading can be found in career courses, such as those found at the Aiken County Career and Technology Center and in the county high schools. Automotive technology and computer-aided design and drafting would be two examples of that. "It makes sense when you think about the readability of manuals that the students there read," said Laurence. "Any kid in career or technology programs or the military who has read an instructional manual knows how complicated that is." Those approaches need to be provided in other classrooms, as well. Laurence believes that can be accomplished over time as the new Common Core standards are introduced in preparation for new standardized tests. Common Core is not a federal mandate. States in recent years produced a new unified set of standards that South Carolina is implementing in math and English/language arts. Instead of rote answers, Common Core and new curricula are intended to teach students the processes they use in math. English must be taught in all disciplines to help children learn to read proficiently. "We want education to be relevant and take students to higher levels that are more rigorous," said Laurence. The culture of a school is crucial, where the entire faculty has an attitude that all its kids can learn, Everitt said. "If a school is doing really great things with continuous improvement, that culture becomes a norm," she said.

Revision as of 21:15, 16 January 2013
Taganga is a small fishing village 5km north of Santa Marta at the Caribbean coast in Colombia.
Taganga is a great and idyllic fishing village. Many tourist, local and international, visit this beautiful place every year. It has great charm and the surrounding attractions are plenty.
Although Taganga is a popular place to go, it has also it's share of problems. Mainly with the infrastructure and public services. Be careful when you walk alone at night or in remote areas. Enjoy your visit.
Welcome to Taganga. You will love it!
Transport to Cartagena
DIVAEXPE office is representing BerlinasTur in Taganga and selling shuttle tickets from Taganga to Barranquilla and Cartagena at COP $42.000 pesos (update sep. 2012). Location: Casa Divanga, Calle 11 No. 3 - 5. Tel: (5) 421 95 03.
You can also book Marsol (private bus transport) to Barranquilla and Cartagena. Price app. COP $45.000 pesos. Buy your ticket at Magic Tour near the beach (calle 14).
Get in
Taganga is surrounded by beautiful desert mountains covered in natural flora and fauna. There are millions of lovely fish and corals which can be reached by short walks and snorkeling out to corals. People watching and good mellow times are to be had along the beach road and loads of beautiful tourists.
Bring (enough) money!
There is only one ATM in Taganga and most of the times it is broken. Make sure you bring enough money for your stay since the next ATM is in Santa Marta!
From Taganga you can get to many area attractions including some of the nicest beaches in the world like Arrecifes and Cabo San Juan. You can also be in the Minca, a small town in the Sierra Nevada Santa Marta in less than an hour. You can get there by bus or taxi. A taxi should not cost from 35.000 to 40.000 pesos.
Scuba diving
Taganga turned in to a popular scuba diving spot. Diving spots are usually near the small island "Aguja", a part of Tayrona National Park. The underwater of Taganga has a big diversity of marine life. There are a dozen diving schools in town, but be careful where you do your courses. There are many reports of travelers doing their courses, paying and never receiving any certificate. Be careful for your safety: some diving centers have pretty old equipment, never follow safety rules such as safety-stop and even skip important skills/exams during the course or have dive masters teaching courses, check if you will be with a real instructor. For more information check PADI alerts [17].
Available dive centers:
Get homemade seasonal sweets and delicious frozen fruit treats at Kelly seasonally. And check out the handmade Wayu and Kogi shoulder bags. Excellent crafts and very Colombian!
It would be good idea to take a couple of "Stubbie Coolers" (Australian vernacular for an item which keeps the beer in your bottle cooler or longer) as the heat in Taganga will have you drinking warm beer by the time you are at the end of your drink.
There is a great little internet cafe a block to the west of the police station and ATM, which adds little friendly touches like the occasional cup of water.
Stay safe
Taganga has recently become notorious for mugging and robbery, so regular precautions should be taken.
There are quite 7 small beaches outside of Taganga (15 minutes walk), which are connected by walking paths covered by vegetation. These paths are used by local robbers, especially on late hours when there are not many people walking to and from. Do not walk there by yourself. Wait for a small group. If you carry valuables with you and don't feel adventurous, it's better to take a boat (3 minutes; COP $3.000).
If you consume illegal/recreational drugs be careful of getting shaken down/searched/harassed by the local police. If they find anything on you be prepared to be taken into custody and threatened with jail unless you pay an on-the-spot fine (in cash, of course). Anyone traveling with you is also subject to harassment and could be made to contribute to your "fine" as well. So, better not using drugs in public.
