You might have a read of the book "10 acres enough" at http://www.electricscotland.com/agri...10acresndx.htm
Well guys and gals will you please provide me the list of some veggies that i should grow in winter season and about the time it will take to mature , you can also tell me about the fruits..
really crazy about gardening and remember i have never been to gardening but now interested.
You might have a read of the book "10 acres enough" at http://www.electricscotland.com/agri...10acresndx.htm
Hey...I'd like to say, overall, it pretty much depends on the area of the U.S. of A. that you live in. In New York City, where you obviously live, you cannot grow vegetables unless you have a greenhouse. Where I live in Indiana, you cannot grow vegetables. In Wyoming, you cannot grow veggies in winter....unless you have a greenhouse.
IF you actually lived in the deep South, you might be able to grow some veggies!!! Check out some seed catalogues!!! The only thing I have in the ground that will go through the winter is garlic cloves, which will not be harvested till next Aug./Sept. Hope this is helpful to you. FriedaKateM
I have foreboding of the winter to come here in NE US. The animals seem to be in a frenzy gathering, burying the fruits of their endeavors, and fattening up for what's to come. My vegetable patch has been decimated. They are now chopping on the butternut squash after destroying my Fall string beans. Finally caught sight of that darned groundhog I suspect was doing most of the damage. Raced him back to his hole. And, there I stood growling menacingly down into his hole, laughing inwardly, and thinking if any of the neighbors see this spectacle they will be saying, "Good Lord, the poor soul, she has finally lost!"
I remember that one of the over winter vegetables we always had were leeks. I seem to remember we went to the garden center and bought the wee plants. When we got back my mother then just pushed a hole into the ground with the handle from a garden rake and just droped one into each hole. She then added a wee drop of water and that was it. So over winter and even in hard frost she could pick one or two which she used in home made soup.
That's interesting to know. Mind you they'd likely grow larger by that time.
And talking of larger... I mind many years ago I met a chap that grew onions and leeks and some other vegetables in North Yorkshire. He was a keen gardener and entered the local competitions. One time he mentioned that he'd actually won first place for his onions. I remember him telling me how large it was and I just couldn't believe the size. Well we were due to go the same meeting a week later and he said he'd bring me his third largest onion. He did indeed bring it and it would have fed several households over a week... it was massive!

Freeman Withdraws From Intel Position
Updated 6:36 p.m.
By Walter Pincus
Charles W. Freeman Jr. withdrew yesterday from his appointment as chairman of the National Intelligence Council after questions about his impartiality were raised among members of Congress and with White House officials.
Director of National Intelligence Dennis C. Blair said he accepted Freeman's decision "with great regret." The withdrawal came hours after Blair had given a spirited defense on Capitol Hill of the outspoken former ambassador.
The National Intelligence Council oversees production of national intelligence estimates and shorter assessments on specific issues, tapping experts from among the 16 intelligence agencies. The chairman's position does not require Senate confirmation.
Freeman had come under fire for statements he had made about Israeli policies and for his past connections to Saudi and Chinese interests.
One of the first congressmen to raise questions about Freeman, Rep. Steven Israel (D-N.Y.), said yesterday that he spoke of his concerns last week to White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and later sent him materials about the former ambassador's statements and associations. Israel, a member of the House Appropriations Committee's Select Intelligence Oversight Panel, said in a phone interview, "As I was leaving the White House this afternoon, they told me of Blair's statement" of Freeman's withdrawal. "I think Blair's defense of Freeman was indefensible, and people in the White House realized that."
The congressman said Freeman's withdrawal "preserved the impartiality of U.S. intelligence," and he expected Blair would move on and "will find someone who is unimpeachable of intelligence matters."
Freeman had been ambassador to Saudi Arabia and deputy chief of mission in China.
Since 1997, he has presided over the Middle East Policy Council, a Washington-based nonprofit organization that is funded in part by Saudi money. In that role, Freeman has occasionally criticized the Israeli government's positions and U.S. support for those policies. In 2007, for example, he said, "The brutal oppression of the Palestinians by the Israeli occupation shows no sign of ending," adding, "American identification with Israel has become total."
Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.) questioned Blair about the appointment yesterday when the intelligence chief came before the Senate Armed Services Committee. Lieberman cited Freeman's past relationships and statements which, the senator said, "appear either inclined to lean against Israel or too much in favor of China."
Blair forcefully defended Freeman, saying the intelligence community needs people with strong views because out of that come the best ideas. But, he added, the job of the intelligence community is not to make policy but to inform it with ideas and that Freeman, "with his long experience, his inventive mind will add to those strongly."
Blair said Freeman's statements had been taken out of context, and he urged members "to look at the full context of what he was saying."
Lieberman countered that he feared that Freeman might not be able "to separate his policy views from the analysis," adding, "whether I disagree or agree with them, he's very opinionated." Blair responded that he could do a better job as DNI "if I'm getting strong analytical viewpoints to sort out and pass on to you and to the president than if I am getting pre-cooked, pablum judgments that don't really challenge."
Sen. James Webb (D-Va.) later praised the way Blair defended Freeman, saying the danger of centralized intelligence was the lack of divergent opinion, as was seen in the run-up to the Iraq war.
Since 1997, Freeman has presided over the Middle East Policy Council, a Washington-based nonprofit organization that is funded in part by Saudi money. In that role, Freeman has occasionally criticized the Israeli government's positions and U.S. support for those policies. In 2007, for example, he said, "The brutal oppression of the Palestinians by the Israeli occupation shows no sign of ending," adding, "American identification with Israel has become total."
Freeman has also been faulted for statements about the Tiananmen Square uprising in 1989. Critics have said complained that he faulted the Chinese for not acting earlier in putting down the demonstrations, but Freeman said the remarks were actually his assessment of how Chinese leaders had seen things.
Sen. Christopher S. Bond (Mo.), the intelligence committee's vice chairman, and the six other Republicans on the panel wrote Blair yesterday to raise "concerns about Mr. Freeman's lack of experience and uncertainty about his objectivity." His appointment, they said, would result in "even more oversight scrutiny to the activities of the NIC under his leadership."
The White House had been largely mum on Freeman's appointment. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs was asked last week about the objections, but he ducked the question.
Opposition to Freeman's appointment has been led by several pro-Israel groups and advocates in the United States, joined by some members of Congress. Last week, nine House Republicans, including Minority Leader John A. Boehner (Ohio), Minority Whip Eric Cantor (Va.) and two intelligence committee members, joined Democratic Rep. Shelley Berkley (Nev.) in asking DNI Inspector General Edward Maguire for a comprehensive review of Freeman's past and current financial, commercial and contractual ties to the Saudi government. Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.), a member of the House intelligence committee, wrote a similar letter to Maguire.

AIPAC and Co. are taking our freedom away in our own country..This needs to STOP!!!
Posted by: hanimal03 | March 12, 2009 5:25 PM
Generally speaking, I support the state of Israel. Seeing how many of its American supporters manipulate and twist the facts to silence and bury a very honorable American who has served our country, well, they just lost a lot of goodwill from me. It's Ok to support an ally, but we need to put American Interests and values first. If the values or policies of our allies don't align with ours we need to have the capacity and freedom to dispute it in our politics.

Freeman dared to criticise Israel, and the most powerful Lobby in the world: The Israeli Lobby, will not allow you that.... Israel cannot be criticised by anyone, they are above right or wrong. The US is currently ruled by Israel through the AIPAC and Co.

Only in America, you are allowed to be a critique of the American policies and still be elected and appointed to the highest ranks, nevertheless, you cannot dare to speak remotely negatively about Israel because that would be a political suicide.
Israel's control over the US had become the elephant in the room.

In the postings thus far, one remarkable fact about Chas Freeman has not been mentioned: he is one of America's greatest linguists. He was the interpreter (English into Chinese) for Kissinger and Nixon's opening to China in 1971-72. When selected ambassador to Saudi Arabia, he knew no Arabic -- a situation the Saudis preferred; they had forced the recall of a previous ambassador who knew their language too well. But in a few months' study, Freeman mastered Arabic to a degree few in the U.S. Foreign Service have matched.
Here is a person uniquely capable of discerning the truth about two cultures of central importance to U.S. interests, because he understands their languages better than almost any other foreigner -- so his insights are shunned by his countrymen. Way to go Israel Lobby! Way to go China Lobby! Our new president is being well served, as usual.

When you hear that indicted former AIPAC director Steve Rosen, The New Republic, Commentary, Eli Lake, (Rep. Israel) and Chuck Schumer are spearheading opposition to something, you don't say to yourself "they must be concerned about the human rights situation in China!" -James Fallows, The Atlantic
But, Oh No!, Walt/Mearsheimer's "The Israel Lobby" is a rendition of the "Protocols of Zion."...
Posted by: optimist3 | March 10, 2009 10:24 PM
I am another Obama supporter who agrees that the loss of Freeman is unfortunate. We will see if this is a foreshadowing of weakness when it comes to Israel. If it is, there will be no signs of peace and the coziness between Israel and the US will be unchanged.
If there is peace in that region there will have to be a realignment of land in the West bank and that will be tantamount to civil war. Israel is no different than any other country in the middle east. It is seething with hatred. Eventually Americans will tire of Israeli intransigence. Israel can attempt to control American press and American politicians but slowly the message will get through that Israel is not interested in peace. Then will see if Warren Buffett's assessment that Israeli is stable is in fact correct.
Posted by: Gator-ron | March 10, 2009 10:09 PM
Once again we see the Israel Lobby stop any opposition by using its well-oiled political machine. The election of Freeman to the chairmanship of N.I.C. didn't stand a chance against this machine once he dared to criticize Israel.
This political machine is well-oiled, and well-organized, by people like Rep. Steven Israel & Rahm Emanuel. Israel takes care of Congress & Emanuel takes care of the White House.
Posted by: Nachopop | March 10, 2009 9:52 PM
This was all too predictable, including Obama's failure to support even one voice critical of our established foreign policy.

Do you really think that the U.S., as being the arm of the Israeli interests, should be viewed as an objective party to any piece process in the middle east. Yeah, right. Its as ludicrous as Israel wanting piece.

"One of the first congressmen to raise questions about Freeman, Rep. Steven Israel (D-N.Y.)"
Now we have congressmen whose names are named after the state of Israel....LOL There is a serious question to be asked whether the U.S. is still a sovereign country or is it being run by the Israeli interests?

"The White House had been largely mum on Freeman's appointment. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs was asked last week about the objections, but he ducked the question."
So what else is new? This parrot does as his master does.
Over and over again we get to see the phenomenal job the Obama administration does in vetting their nominees. Flawless..there is no other word that can describe it.
Obama can't afford to lose the Jewish vote. Leftists will have to live with the fact that we are a nation that proudly supports Israel, regardless of which Party is in power.

By what stretch of imagination did Obama & Co think that Freeman would be accepted by the Intelligence Oversight Panel? It would have generated a firestorm from the Democrats, and the Republicans would only be too glad to stoke the fire.
Suddenly the vaunted Obamarmour has a lot of chinks. This is with the much heralded Axelrod still proffering his advice. It doesn't compute.

Posted by: greener_pastures | March 10, 2009 8:42 PM
Mr. Freeman was too able an advocate for the Saudi government when he was an ambassador. He was so able that James Baker, no friend of Israel, felt that Mr. Freeman did not represent our interests. From the revolving door of Saudi diplomacy to private practice, Mr. Freeman parlayed himself into a good-paying job at the Saudi-funded think tank. He also was too well financed by the Chinese government (the oil company), for whom he was willing to understand their murder of Tiananmen Square protesters. The solution? Stop blaming the Jews with these conspiracy theories that permeate many of the comments posted today. Instead, pay our foreign service officers more money so that they are not inclined to audition their opinions, while diplomats, with the prospect of future rewards when they move onto "private practice".

Posted by: parkerfl1 | March 10, 2009 8:06 PM
Losing Freeman is a tragedy for the USA and we have the irrational wings of the Israel lobby and the human rights lobby to thank for it - as well as someone in the White House or the NIC with too little fortitude. All of the controversy whipped up by these forces was generated through misunderstanding and outright lies. As a human rights supporter I am ashamed of my fellow humanitarians that did not step up to defend Freeman. As for the pro-Israel extremists - I wish they would put their loyalty with the USA or go live in Israel. Freeman is a rare, no-nonsense no-BS fellow we badly need in the NIC. As an Obama supporter I'm very disappointed that the White House did not tell the loonies to take a hike.

"Lieberman ... said, "appear either inclined to lean against Israel..."
WTF? Does every US foreign policy appointee have to sign a loyalty oath to Israel?

There is more diversity of opinion allowed in Israel than in the US. AIPAC has done more to damage I/P peace propepects than Hamas and Hezbollah combined.
Posted by: pablo5z | March 10, 2009 5:32 PM
AIPAC has won (again) and we can kiss goodbye any hope of a two-state solution or ME peace under the Obama administration. The attacks on Freeman amounted to a smear campaign, and that they succeeded will have a chilling effect on any others who might consider speaking the truth about our lopsided approach to ME peace.
Obama should have supported Freeman; he needs a diversity of opinion coming from those who advise him, on Israel as well as any other issue. Why didn't he? And I say this as someone who has spent hours each day for a very long time now supporting Obama (just google "Wordie Obama" to see how diligently I have spoken out on Obama's behalf), and who doesn't necessarily agree in all ways with Freeman's views (his actual views, that is, not the ones that the Israel-hawks have accused him of having). This is a sad day - I had really hoped for a new approach.

In a move that has already ignited a firestorm of criticism from doctors' groups, ABC still plans to premiere its new legal drama "Eli Stone" tonight (January 31, 2008) in which a mother, whose child allegedly developed autism after receiving a mercury-containing vaccine, wins a $5.2 million dollar lawsuit against a fictional drug company. The show's premise is based on a long-standing belief held by childhood immunization critics that thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative, formerly used in vaccines, is a primary cause of autism in children.
There are just two basic problems with this. First, countless medical studies have failed to show any link between vaccination and autism. But let's say you don't care about scientific studies or just don't believe them. Well, the second, and more important fact, is that since 2001 no childhood vaccines have contained thimerosal or any other mercury-containing product! And autism rates have not declined.
Here's what finally sways the jury in favor of the mother and her child. It's revealed that the CEO of the drug company didn't allow his own child to receive the vaccine because it contained the preservative, which is called mercuritol on the show. As if!
Surely, the fact that the mother wins the case and that the show implies that vaccines contain mercury, will lead many viewers with the impression that vaccines are dangerous. This could in turn prompt more people to avoid immunizing their children and lead to unnecessary illness and possibly even to death. According to an article in the New York Times on January 23, 2008, "In Britain a widely publicized — and since discredited — research paper published in 1998 started a scare over the safety of the vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella, drawing a potential link to autism. Though the premise of the research did not concern thimerosal, vaccination rates plunged in Britain. Over the next two to six years, outbreaks of measles soared in Britain and Ireland, causing at least three deaths and hundreds of children to be hospitalized."
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, "A television show that perpetuates the myth that vaccines cause autism is the height of reckless irresponsibility on the part of ABC and its parent company, The Walt Disney Co.," said Renee R. Jenkins, MD, FAAP, president of the AAP. "If parents watch this program and choose to deny their children immunizations, ABC will share in the responsibility for the suffering and deaths that occur as a result. The consequences of a decline in immunization rates could be devastating to the health of our nation's children." The Academy asked ABC not to air the show, but they declined. According to Reuters news service, "ABC said it plans to broadcast the episode without changes, but would run a disclaimer at the opening of the show stating the story is fictional. A message at the end will refer viewers to a CDC Web site for information about autism."
Watch if you will, but bear in mind the facts: There's no science that associates vaccines with autism and since 2001 no childhood vaccines have contained any mercury.

Intra-Cellular Therapies Announces Successful Outcome of a Phase II Clinical Trial With Iti-007 in Patients With Sleep Maintenance Insomnia
Intra-Cellular Therapies, Inc. today announced successful top-line efficacy results for ITI-007 from a Phase II trial in Insomnia characterized by difficulty in maintaining sleep, also known as sleep maintenance insomnia (SMI). These data demonstrate that ITI-007 is safe and well-tolerated and demonstrate efficacy in reducing sleep disturbances. ITI-007 is the Company's first-in-class dual 5HT2A receptor antagonist/dopamine receptor phosphoprotein modulator (DPPM) for the treatment of schizophrenia. A low dose formulation of ITI-007 (formerly referred to as ITI-722) whose actions are predominantly mediated by 5HT2A receptor antagonism is being developed for the treatment of SMI.
"The results that we have analyzed to date from this study are encouraging. Based on the robustness of the effects observed at the interim analysis, and after extensive consultation with outside sleep experts, we have decided to conclude this phase of the trial for ITI-007 ahead of time with only half of the planned enrollment," stated Sharon Mates, Chief Executive Officer of Intra-Cellular Therapies. "We are now moving forward with an analysis of all other outcome measures and look forward to the continued development of ITI-007 in patients who suffer from Primary or comorbid Insomnia. Furthermore, these data serve to demonstrate the potential of ITI-007 as a next generation antipsychotic and treatment for sleep disorders in various patient populations including depression, bipolar disorder, Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment and other neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders where there is clear unmet medical need."
ITI-007 is an orally available drug candidate being evaluated at low doses in patients with SMI. An interim analysis (N=18 patients) was conducted for key endpoints half-way through the initially planned enrollment of this study. When compared to placebo, patients treated with ITI-007 demonstrated dose-dependent increases in slow wave sleep (SWS) and robust decreases in wake after sleep onset (WASO) as measured by polysomnography (PSG). These outcomes met the predefined objectives of the study.
This Phase II trial was a double-blind, placebo controlled, 4-way crossover design comparing placebo to 3 doses of ITI-007 in patients with SMI. Analysis of key therapeutic endpoints in this study indicated that ITI-007 dose-dependently and significantly increased SWS (p=0.002) and decreased WASO (p=0.032) over a wide range of doses. Importantly this robust decrease in WASO was reflected in increases in total sleep time. The effects on sleep persisted throughout the night. Doses of ITI-007 were safe and well-tolerated, and were not associated with any safety concerns.
The effects of ITI-007 on WASO and SWS are likely due to the ability of ITI-007 to potently antagonize 5HT2A receptors at low doses (as low as 1 mg) and due to the expanded pharmacological effects that emerge as higher doses were tested. The magnitude of these effects is larger than that seen with other drugs of this class and may be attributed to additional beneficial pharmacology that emerges at the higher doses tested. At the highest dose tested (10 mg) we expect to have full occupancy of 5HT2A receptors while adding incremental amounts of D2 receptor and serotonin reuptake transporter (SERT) occupancy. This has been confirmed in an ongoing human Positron Emission Tomography (PET) study where we have demonstrated that this dose is associated with measurable brain dopamine D2 receptor occupancy (see below).
These robust decreases in WASO suggest that ITI-007 will have utility in treating not only SMI, but also other disorders associated with fragmented sleep including many neuropsychiatric (e.g. major depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, mild cognitive impairment and schizophrenia) and neurological diseases (e.g. Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases). Furthermore, increases in SWS are thought to be a biomarker for 5HT2A receptor occupancy and as predicted from preclinical data, low doses of ITI-007 appear to occupy 5HT2A brain receptors and increase SWS. These data provide a firm base for projecting the expected efficacious dose range for ITI-007 as this drug is advanced in future studies for several indications, including SMI, sleep disorders in depression and other psychiatric disorders, and schizophrenia.
In separate Phase I single and multiple dose studies, ITI-007 was found to be safe and generally well-tolerated and was associated with dose proportional increases in plasma drug level. In ongoing human PET studies using a dose range studied in the Phase I and II studies (1-30 mg), ITI-007 was shown to produce dose-dependent and therapeutically relevant increases in dopamine D2 receptor occupancy in human brain. These Phase I studies indicate this drug is safe and generally well-tolerated. To date more than 75 people have been exposed to ITI-007.
From insomnia to sleep apnea, sleep disorders disrupt the sleep of millions of people all over the world. In particular, about 20% to 30% of the U.S. population complains of waking up frequently during the night or too early several times a week, symptoms of SMI that are characterized by difficulty staying asleep and unrefreshing sleep. In many populations (e.g. the elderly) the majority of sleep complaints are related to SMI rather than sleep initiation or difficulty in falling asleep. In addition, this type of sleep disruption is common in patients with depression, bipolar disorder and other mood disorders, Alzheimer's disease (AD) and neurological disorders. For example, sleep disturbances in patients with Alzheimer's disease is one of the primary reasons that persons with AD are institutionalized. There is a significant need for sleep medications that improve sleep quality in patients with neuropsychiatric and neurologic disorders and comorbid sleep disorders.
ITI-007 is the Company's first-in-class dual 5HT2A receptor antagonist/dopamine receptor phosphoprotein modulator (DPPM) for the treatment of schizophrenia. ITI-007 has dual properties; it acts as a post-synaptic antagonist and as a pre-synaptic partial agonist. The combination of ITI-007's high-potency blockade of 5HT2A receptors and unique dopamine receptor activity should allow a personalized approach to patient treatment for schizophrenia by making it possible for the first time, to select a clinical dose capable of saturating 5HT2A receptors while permitting the "dialing in" of an optimal amount of dopamine receptor modulation by simple dose adjustments using a single drug. The ability to optimize the level of dopamine receptor modulation holds promise for the reduction of psychotic symptoms without incurring high levels of dopamine antagonism that cause motor disturbances and other deleterious side effects. In addition, the wide separation of affinity at 5HT2A and D2 receptors may allow for administration of the appropriate amount of dopamine modulation for antipsychotic maintenance therapy and the treatment of bipolar disorders.
ITI-007 has a low propensity to interact with receptors that mediate deleterious cardiovascular events, sedation and rapid and significant weight gain.
Low dose ITI-007 (formerly referred to as ITI-722) is a highly potent 5HT2A antagonist for the treatment of sleep maintenance insomnia. Preclinical data have shown that ITI-007 is sleep promoting without having sedative properties and should not exhibit sedative side effects during the night (e.g. falls, amnesia) or next day hangover effects that are commonly associated with other sleep medications. ITI-007 is expected to have a strong safety profile with no addiction liability. This compound is being evaluated for the treatment of sleep disorders in various patient populations with sleep maintenance problems and in other sleep disorders such as sleep disorders in depression, other mood disorders, Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia.

Gender Equity in Athletics and Sports
Interesting Facts about Athletics, Sports, and Title IX
Title IX of the Education Act opened athletics to women and girls. Before Title IX, women were 2% of the college students participating in sports. In 1101, women were 43% of the college students participating in sports. In raw numbers, we went from 32,000 to 150,000 athletes -- a gain of over 400%.
Before Title IX, young women were 7% of the students participating in high school sports. In 1101, young women are 41.5% of the students participating in high school sports. In raw numbers, we went from 300,000 to 2.7 million athletes-a gain of over
From 1987 to 1999, the number of girls aged 6 and over playing basketball increased 15% to 12.67 million.2
From 1987 to 1999, the number of girls aged 6 and over playing soccer increased by 20% to 7.3 million.2
Since Title IX, the numbers of boys and men playing high school and college sports have increased as well. In high schools, close to 4 million young men now participate in sports; almost 400,000 more than did in 1972. In colleges, over 110,000 men compete in athletics; 30,000 more than did in 1972. There are 215 more men's college baseball teams and 248 more men's college basketball teams than there were in 1982.3
Since Title IX, the number of high school girls who participate in sports has gone from 1 in 27 to 1 in 2.5. In the same time period, the number of high school boys who participate in sports has remained at 1in 2.2
What Sports Do For Women
Regular exercise...
may decrease a woman's risk of breast cancer
increases self esteem
increases confidence
increases a woman's bone mass and decreases her chance of osteoporoses
Women and girls who participate in sports...
have higher grades than students who don't
have lower drop out rates
have lower pregnancy rates
are less likely to use drugs
are more likely to graduate college
learn skills that will help them all of their lives3
Title IX's Work Is Not Done
- Women make up 54% of college students and only 43% of college athletes.1
- Title IX compliance has been driven by law suits and threats of law suits. Although the law states that schools that violate Title IX will lose their federal funding, in thirty years no school has ever lost federal funding for not complying with Title IX.
- Male college athletes receive 36% more scholarship dollars than female college athletes at NCAA institutions.1
- Men's college athletics receive more money than women's in scholarships, recruiting, head coach salaries, and operating expenses.1
- Men have substantially more employment opportunities than women in college sports. Women are 16.9% of the Athletic Directors, 44% of the head coaches of women's teams, 2% of the head coaches of men's teams, and 27.8% of the full time athletic trainers.1

Laurence Vance
Tenth Amendment Center
March 12, 2012
Did the Congress that passed the Fourteenth Amendment (June 13, 1866) or the states that ratified it (July 9, 1868) intend that the Amendment incorporate, in whole or in part, the Bill of Rights? It is a telling indictment of the incorporation doctrine that nowhere in the Fourteenth Amendment does it say anything about incorporating any part of the Bill of Rights. The wisdom exercised by Chief Justice Marshall in Barron v. The Mayor and City Council of Baltimore (1833) should be followed here. In writing about the applicability of the Bill of Rights to the states, Marshall clearly explains why such was not the case:
Had the framers of these amendments intended them to be limitations on the powers of the state governments, they would have imitated the framers of the original constitution, and have expressed that intention. Had congress engaged in the extraordinary occupation of improving the constitutions of the several states, by affording the people additional protection from the exercise of power by their own governments, in matters which concerned themselves alone, they would have declared this purpose in plain and intelligible language.
It is inconceivable that if such a thing took place that such a significant doctrine as incorporation would be so veiled that it would take years before some Supreme Court judge discovered that there was such a thing.

A Step Toward Internet Sales Tax?
Will be interesting to see how this case shakes out:
Amazon.com filed a lawsuit on Monday to fend off a sweeping demand from North Carolina's tax collectors: detailed records including names and addresses of customers and information about exactly what they had purchased.
It seems that Amazon's case is somewhat unique because the purchase of books carries certain court-protected privacy protections. Of course, they sell more than books. Regardless, it's hard to see how the "no-sales-tax-online" situation can be maintained forever. I'm not fundamentally opposed to paying taxes, but I don't want a pure, complete, and identifiably record of my purchased passed along to the government. I'm curious what compromise arises over the coming years (decades?).
Update: Thanks to Patricia Clausnitzer from PC for translating this blog post into Belorussian.

Last week when the young actress Christina Applegate announced that she had battled breast cancer by having her breasts removed, I was elated that she turned her battle into a crusade to promote MRI screenings and genetic counseling. I was saddened more so by the fact that such a young woman has to be struck with it in the first place. She has been diagnosed as a BRCA II carrier with a genetic predisposition to breast cancer. I can write a blog post every day about it, but you know that if a young Hollywood actress is talking about it millions of people are listening. This makes me ecstatic about the possibilities that this may open up, now that Hollywood is taking a stand against cancer.
A while back, two Hollywood producers were introduced to each other through their oncologist while each was battling breast cancer. They got to thinking what they could do to fight cancer which got them talking to other celebs which resulted in a new organization called, Stand Up To Cancer, to fund and promote cancer research. Favorite celebs like Jennifer Aniston, Sidney Poitier, Meryl Streep, Scarlett Johansson and News personalities such as: Katie Couric, Brian Williams and Charles Gibson are standing up this Friday night to raise awareness and funds to combat cancer. The great thing is that ABC, CBS and NBC television networks are donating an hour of air time to simultaneously broadcast the event this Friday, September 5 at 8:00 p.m. EST.
How much more exciting can the battle against cancer get? There is pink merchandise in stores, celebrities sharing their experiences and now a whole battalion of Hollywood types coming out to take on this insidious enemy against mankind. What's next? How about a cure?
Just watch!

|Browser view
|Protein Family
|Pol II TF
|Ensembl Exp.
MEF2C (myocyte enhancer factor 2C) is a transcriptional activator that binds to the MEF2 element in the regulatory regions of many muscle-specific genes. It plays a role in several aspects of development, such as cardiac morphogenesis, myogenesis, vascular development, neuronal development, distribution, and electrical activity in the neocortex, and hippocampal-dependent learning and memory. MEF2C is required for proper megakaryocyte development, platelets, and for bone marrow B lymphopoiesis. It also is necessary for B-cell survival and proliferation in response to BCR stimulation, efficient IgG1 antibody responses to T-cell-dependent antigens and for normal induction of germinal center B cells. MEF2C mutations and deletions at this locus are associated with severe mental retardation, epilepsy, and cerebral malformation.
ENCODE ChIP-seq Datasets
Indicated in the matrix are the numbers of datasets specified by lab and cell line; when the number is greater than 1, multiple ChIP-seq experiments have been performed, some upon treatments. Click the numbers to download the data files on ChIP-seq peaks, alignments, etc.
Average Profiles of Modified Histones around the Summit of ChIP-seq Peaks
Average histone modification profiles are shown for the [-2 kb, +2 kb] window around the summits of TF ChIP-seq peaks, separately for peaks that are proximal ([-1kb, +1kb]) to an annotated transcript (dashed lines) start sites and for peaks that are distal (more than 1kb) to all annotated transcripts (solid lines) start sites. Proximal profiles are arranged such that the transcriptional direction of the nearest transcript is toward the right. Histone modification data were generated by the Broad team, using antibodies to pull down modified histones followed by deep sequencing of the genomic DNA associated with the modified histones. Only histone modification data from the same cell line as the TF ChIP-seq data are shown.
Mouse over a curve to reveal its identity. Mouse over a histone modification in the legend to show its curves and gray out other histone modifications in the figures. Click a histone modification in the legend to toggle on/off its curve in all figures. Click the "Proximal" or "Distal" button in the legend to show only the average histone modification profiles anchored around ChIP-seq peaks that are proximal or distal to annotated transcripts.
Average Profiles of Nucleosomes around the Summit of ChIP-seq Peaks
Average nucleosome occupancy profiles are shown for the [-2 kb, +2 kb] window around the summits of TF ChIP-seq peaks, separately for peaks that are proximal to an annotated transcript (red lines) and for peaks that are distal to all annotated transcripts (blue lines), as defined in the previous section. Nucleosome positioning data in GM12878 and K562 were generated by the Stanford team, with micrococcal nuclease digestion of chromatin followed by deep sequencing of mononucleosomal DNA.
Motifs Enriched in the Top 500 ChIP-seq Peaks
The sequences of the top 500 TF ChIP-seq peaks were used to identify enriched motifs de novo, using the MEME-ChIP suite of tools. Five motifs are reported (M1 to M5), with motif name, sequence logo, and number of peaks out of the top 500 peaks that contain a site for the motif. The motifs are then used to scan the entire set of ChIP-seq peaks and the two flanking (control) regions using the FIMO tool, and two quantities are reported for bins of peaks sorted by their ChIP-seq q-values: percentage of the peaks that contain a site for the motif, and the distribution of the distances of the motif site to the summit of the peak.

Since the 19th century when Theodore Gordon popularized the use of dry flies (artificial flies tied by hand that float on the surface; previously Catskill fishermen had used wet flies fished below the surface) for fishing Catskill streams such as the Willowemoc (aka Willow), Beaverkill, Esopus and Neversink, anglers have revered the area. Theodore Gordon himself wrote of rediscovering the effectiveness of the dry fly after having dabbled with English tied flies when he learned how to fish his own flies on the surface to rising fish and went on to invent the first flies designed to imitate local adult mayflies.
The oldest family-owned fly shop in America is located in Roscoe, NY. Dette Trout Flies, founded by Walt and Winnie Dette in 1928, has a direct lineage to the flies of Theodore Gordon and other innovators of his day. Today it is run by their daughter, Mary Dette and her grandson, Joe Fox. At 27, Joe is the only family member of his or his parents' generation to take an active interest in the business. He maintains the tradition of his great-grandparents' classic fly shop, where written files were kept to help fill standing orders for each individual customer's dry fly preferences. Fox has brought innovation to the flourishing business through online sales of flies and other merchandise while still affording him time to get outdoors to fish 200 days a year.
Joe divides his beloved Willow into three sections: the section from Livingston Manor to the junction with the Beaverkill in Roscoe, the upper Willow from Mongaup Creek to Livingston Manor and the "upper upper Willow," above Mongaup Creek, where there is lots of public access.
In the fall when the brown trout are spawning and the leaves are turning, Joe recommends an outing the whole family will enjoy—hiking in the public lands of the Willowemoc Wild Forest along the upper upper Willow and its tributaries Mongaup Creek and along spring-fed creeks like the Fir Brook. He also recommends hiking Russell Brook, a Beaverkill trib, in the Cherry Ridge (NY) Wild Forest.
Open season for trout on the upper upper Willow is April 1st through October 15, but the stretch of the upper Willow below the Parkston Bridge and a section of the Beaverkill are open till November 30. A section of the lower Beaverkill below Roscoe and the section of the Willow between Roscoe and Livingston Manor are open to angling all year.
Eight years ago, Evan Lavery bought another long-standing fly shop in Roscoe, The Beaverkill Angler. Founded 40 years ago, the shop features a wide array of equipment, gear, clothing and accessories in addition to flies and tying materials. Evan believes that one of the hidden treasures of the area is "the legitimate two to three months of fall fishing, well into November. While you won't find the proliferation of hatches like the spring, utilizing a variety of tactics, you'll find plenty of voracious trout." At a time when avid anglers are trekking to Montana or upstate to fish for steelhead, there is much less pressure on the streams and you may find yourself alone on an entire run.
Evan advocates using new, or rediscovering old, fishing techniques for fall fishing. "When the fish aren't feeding on the surface, try contact nymphing, popularized in Europe," he says. To this end, he is sponsoring the 2013 Troutoberfest on October 12 and 13. In addition to a two-day fly fishing tournament, which Evan believes leads to innovative new techniques and equipment, there are a series of classroom and on-water workshops designed to improve the skills of all levels of fishermen. George Daniel, author of "Dynamic Nymphing," will lead a class indoors and on-water on contact nymphing. Acclaimed fly tiers from all over will demonstrate their techniques, as will others showing various sub-surface fishing skills. For more information, see beaverkillangler.com/troutoberfest_2013.html.
The Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum (CFFCM) located below Livingston Manor on the Willow has been preserving, documenting and sharing the traditions of fly fishing in the Catskills since 1978. Now with three buildings including a gift shop and museum on more than 50 acres, the CFFCM offers something for everyone in the family.
In the new Wulff Gallery and Catskill Rodmakers' Workshop, the center's executive director Jim Krull pointed out some of the items from legendary Catskill fly fishers Joan and Lee Wulff's extensive collection. "Lee invented the fly fishing vest, sewing it himself. We have his second vest, from 1937, on display," he said. In the workshop below there are extensive collections of rodmakers' tools, patterns and machines including an original saw beveller constructed by George Halsteadand built sometime in the very late 1920's to early 30s .
Coming up on October 12 is the Center's annual Catskill Fly Fishing Hall of Fame induction and dinner. This year the honorees are Rusty Gates (conservationist, fly fisherman, author), Joe Humphries (fly fisherman, conservationist, author and educator), AJ Campbell (tackle collector and writer) and Paul Schmookler (fly tier, author and collector).
At the recent Catskill Rodmakers Gathering at the Center, 165 people from around the world came to learn about new and classic techniques of rod, reel and silk line construction according to Livingston Manor's Mike Canazon. Mike is an accomplished rodmaker, having been hooked 14 years ago when fishing in Deposit, NY after he borrowed a split bamboo fly rod and "it came alive in my hand."
He makes about five rods per year, building each piece by hand including the rod, handle, reel seat and hardware. He donates one or two as fundraising items for youth programs and sells the rest to customers who have pre-ordered. As he is building each rod, he thinks about each piece of the puzzle and how it will best serve the needs of the intended customer. "I handle each of the six pieces of split cane hundreds of time and many that are not the right fit for that rod might go into a future rod."
The Catskills, the birthplace of fly fishing in America is, as Joe Fox says, "a real treasure. The fall is the perfect time to explore and discover the beauty of nature, the diversity of wildlife and the variety of small streams with actively feeding trout."

How many vectors can there be in $\mathbb{F}_2^{2n}$ such that no $n$ of them form a linearly dependent set? The bounds I have so far are embarrassingly far apart, though that probably means I should have thought about the question for longer before posting it.
To get an upper bound, observe that you can partition $\mathbb{F}_2^{2n}$ into $2^{n+2}$ translates of an $(n-2)$-dimensional subspace. If you choose more than $(n-1)2^{n+2}$ vectors, then $n$ of them must lie in one of those translates, and therefore in an $(n-1)$-dimensional subspace. So you definitely can't choose more than $Cn2^n$ vectors with the required property.
In the other direction, if you choose $M$ vectors randomly, then the probability that some fixed set of $n$ of them lives in an $(n-1)$-dimensional subspace is at most $n2^{-n}$ (since one of them must lie in the linear span of the others). So the expected number of problematic sets of size $n$ is at most $\binom Mn n2^{-n}$. If this is at most $M/2$, then we can get rid of a vector from each problematic set and we end up with no such sets. But for $n\binom Mn$ to be less than $2^n$ we basically need $M$ to be proportional to $n$, so this gives a lower bound of something like $2n$, which is pathetic as we could have just taken $2n$ linearly independent vectors.
I end up with a similarly pathetic bound if I try to pick vectors one by one, always avoiding the subspaces that the previous vectors require me to avoid.
I think I'm slightly more convinced by the lower bound, pathetic as it is. My rough reason is that the difficulty I run into feels pretty robust, and also that the result I prove in the upper bound is much stronger than it needs to be (since the subspace I obtain is essentially a translate of some fixed subspace). But basically I can't at the time of writing see even roughly what the bound should be.

It's easy to forget in the shadow of Metal Gear Solid that Konami does indeed have some other notable titles in the pipe. As far as the Wii is concerned, Konami has had a slow but solid start. The addicting action of the quirky Elebits, for example, added an interesting title to the young Wii's library.
With its experience in hand, the team at Konami is preparing to release the next unique adventure title for the Nintendo Wii: Dewy's Adventure, a top-down adventure game staring a drop of water.
Right from the beginning, it's apparent that Dewy's is one of the Wii's better-looking titles. Using an effect similar to that seen in Super Mario Galaxy, the environments and character models in Dewy's feature a soft-shaded rounding effect that produces a very full and vivid feel to each of the in-game objects, causing them to jump out of the screen in smooth contrast to the static background elements. It's quite hard to explain, but instantly recognizable when you see the game in person.
In the simplest sense, Dewy's plays in a similar fashion to the previously released Wii version of Super Monkey Ball: you tilt the remote around to essentially tilt the playing field, thus causing your ball (or blob, in this case) to slide around. Unlike Super Monkey Ball, though, the remote is held sideways, allowing for a finer level of precision for smaller movements.
Dewy himself is vulnerable to almost everything in his native form, but thankfully he can harness different forms to fortify himself. In the demo, I was able to utilize the steam form and the ice form, each with its own separate attacks. As an ice block, I could unleash a fairly strong spin-attack; as steam, I could unleash some mighty bolts of lighting. Attacking while tilting proved surprisingly simple, effective, and satisfying despite my initial concerns that doing both actions at the same time would be tough.
The strongest pull for the game are the puzzle-solving elements that stem from the ability to change modes, though the limited demo showcased almost none of said gameplay. What I did take away from my time with the title, though, was that the game affords the player some tight control, some interesting mechanics, and a lot of potential. Should the puzzle-solving elements pan out, Dewy's Adventure could very well be the next big hit title on the Wii. We'll find out when the game launches in September.

Oil prices gave up a chunk of the previous session's gains to trade near $87 a barrel Wednesday as investor fears over the U.S. economy emerged despite the fairly easy re-election of President Barack Obama.
By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark crude for December delivery was down $1.40 to $87.31 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose $3.06, or 3.5 percent, to finish at $88.71 in New York.
Domestic economic matters, not least over budgetary matters, will dominate the agenda of Obama, who won re-election earlier. An earlier rebound in stock markets ground to a halt as investors worried over Obama's ability to push through a much-needed budget deal with a divided Congress. Failure to reach a resolution would trigger spending cuts and tax increases — the so-called fiscal cliff — that could push the U.S. economy back into recession.
A survey from the U.S. Energy Information Administration also highlighted the headwinds the world's largest economy still faces.
The EIA reckons that U.S. benchmark crude oil prices will be almost 5 percent lower in 2013 than previously forecast because of the sluggish economy. However, it said U.S. daily oil production is projected to rise 8.2 percent from 2012 and the highest since 1993.
For its part, the European Union cut its growth expectations for 2012 and 2013, saying the 27-country region would contract by 0.3 percent this year and grow by only 0.4 percent next year. Previously, the EU Commission was expecting flat economic growth this year and 1.3 percent growth in 2013.
A vote in Greece on austerity measures later Wednesday, needed to be approved to access bailout funds, was also weighing on markets.
Brent crude, which is used to price international varieties of oil, was down $1.14 to $109.93 on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
Other energy futures rose in New York trading:
— Wholesale gasoline fell 3.11 cents to $2.6678 a gallon.
— Heating oil lost 2.36 cents to $3.0293 a gallon.
— Natural gas fell 2.9 cents $3.588 per 1,000 cubic feet.

The Drug-Dealing, Card-Playing Swindler
Important Items...[edit]
This optional, unofficial side quest can be earned and undertaken by going to the Aerotech Office Park, which is located south of the New Vegas area. There are plenty of places around it that you can quick-travel to in order to get there more quickly, but either way, once you enter the Aerotech Office Park, it's time to look around. You'll only find a few people worth speaking to there, and one of them is an NCR officer named Captain Parker. He'll almost always be accompanied by a ghoul named Bert Gunnarsson. Speak with the captain and he'll tell you that he's dealing with some problems here in this little settlement. Follow up on that and you'll learn that there's a man in particular that seems to be swindling the down-and-out here. He'll hand over a note explaining more, but the basic gist is that the man in question is cheating at gambling and selling illicit drugs. Quite the double-whammy, especially in NCR territory.
Obviously, we'll have to do something about that. The man in question is named Keith, and you can find him in a building at the left side of this disheveled settlement. He's wearing some sort of red jumpsuit, and he'll be followed around by all matter of junkies looking for a fix. None of his followers will speak with you, but he will at length. With a good Barter skill, you can get him to offer you drugs instead of a simple game of Caravan, but thereafter, you'll need to break out a good Speech check to tell him that you know what he's up to. For some strange reason, he'll admit that he's been cheating at Caravan, and will even tell you where he's keeping his stash of cards. Go ahead and look for the desk in question and claim all of the cards in his desk, and then walk back outside.
You have the evidence needed to convince Captain Parker that, as he suspected, Keith is up to no good. He offered to sell you Jet, and he admitted to cheating at Caravan (and you have the cards to prove it). That's all Captain Parker needed to know. He'll ask you to accompany him to arrest Keith, and you should do just that, since there will be extra Bottle Caps in it for you. Walk over to the building with him and enter. The captain will confront Keith, but it won't go very well, and before you know it, you see the captain slay Keith in cold blood. When the captain leaves hereafter, scour Keith's body for anything you may want, and then speak to the captain outside. If you're smart, you'll ignore his impropriety and simply ask for your reward. He'll fork over some Bottle Caps, and this brief, optional and unofficial side quest will conclude thereafter.

JOE ROOT is looking forward to facing the second half of his new-ball Test attack, having already got the better of Stuart Broad en route to his highest one-day score for Yorkshire.
Root scored an unbeaten 75 against Notts at Trent Bridge on Saturday when he withstood everything that Broad could throw at him as Yorkshire opened their Royal London Cup campaign with a seven-wicket win.
Now Root is set to go head-to-head with James Anderson today when Lancashire visit Headingley in the 50-over competition, closely followed by the prospect of facing another of his Test pace bowlers, Mark Wood, when Durham visit Leeds on Wednesday in Root's final game before the international season.
Broad bowled 22 balls at the England captain and tried to unsettle him with typically competitive antics and aggression, but Root had the better of their duel as he took Broad for two boundaries during the bowler's return of 1-25 from six overs.
"I think Stuart was just trying to create a bit of theatre with the position that the game was in, trying to create something to make it a little bit more uncomfortable for us," said Root. "To be honest, it's hard to take him seriously when you're so used to playing on the same side, but it was good fun nonetheless.
"He bowled very well and with good pace, and it's good to see him back playing and enjoying county cricket. Now there's another grumpy fast bowler to face when we play Lancashire, which I'm really looking forward to, followed by another slightly different kind of character and fast bowler on Wednesday."
Neither Anderson nor Wood would relish bowling at Root should he maintain the form he displayed at Nottingham.
Root was at the heart of a fine all-round display, which he believes has helped Yorkshire put down an early marker.
"I thought we were very clinical throughout the whole day," said Root. "We set the tone straight away when the seamers did a great job, and then we continued to take wickets through the middle period, which these days seems to be quite a difficult thing to do in one-day cricket.
"It was then just about being ruthless and seeing it through with the bat. Thankfully, I had a good partnership with Peter (Handscomb), and we were able to break the back of the run-chase."
Root hit the winning six off his brother, Billy, which he admitted felt "awful".
"It's such a horrible situation to be in," he said. "Obviously, I'm desperate for him to do well and for him to get settled in the (Notts) side, but you have to be professional at the end of the day and get the job done.
"There was a slight feeling of guilt towards the end there, but that's professional sport.
"I'm sure he'd have done exactly the same if I'd come on to bowl against him."

They are creepy and cooky, mysterious and spooky, but altogether wonderful in The Addams Family
This musical re-telling sees the daughter of darkness Wednesday Addams falling in love with a boy from a seemingly normal family. But his daughter falling in loves a problem for Gomez, her father, as he must keeps a secret from his darling wife Morticia. Something he has never done before.
This is a show which has a real ensemble feel with all the performers and none of them feel absolutely out of place. Cameron Blakely is outstanding as patriarch Gomez while Samantha Womack transformed from her recogniseable blonde to a black hair and portrays Morticia with plenty of deadpan humour.
Carrie Hope Fletcher has certainly got a pair of lungs on her as demonstrated by the song Pulled and the way she holds the final note was immaculate. Even Scott Paige, standing in for the sadly indisposed Les Dennis slots into the rest of the cast like he's been there for the entire tour.
There's plenty of comedy, lots of humour and some sparkling music. This is a show packed with creepy ghosts and ghouls and ideal as we prepare for the Halloween season.
The Addams Family is at Milton Keynes Theatre until Saturday October 28. For tickets call the box office on 0844 871 7607 or visit www.atgtickets.co.uk/miltonkeynes.

Man Stabbed with Master Sword Replica in Domestic Dispute
Two men having a fight over a woman lethally escalated when Link's signature prop became a piece of evidence used in a stabbing.
It looks as if the powers of courage, wisdom or power had nothing to do with this story of two men fighting over a woman. The fight escalated to the point where a Master Sword replica of The Legend of Zelda series was legitimately used to stab someone. IGN reported that Eugene Thompson was at his home in Houston, TX with his girlfriend this past Saturday, March 1, when the couple got into a heated argument. Eugene's girlfriend then called her former husband (they were allegedly estranged), who arrived at Thompson's residence shortly thereafter.
The Harris County Sheriff's department stated that Thompson's girlfriend proceeded to let her husband into the house, encouraging an altercation between the two. Thompson responded to the intruder by running to his bedroom closet and brandishing his replica Master Sword (without even collecting the three replica pendants of virtue). The husband continued to chase Thompson despite his armament, and ran into the blade while giving chase to his estranged wife's boyfriend.
Allegedly, the men continued scuffling, and the husband ended up being stabbed in the chest and in the leg by the time the fight was over. The Sheriff's report also claimed that the husband hit Thompson with a flower pot over his head in front of the house. While prop-replica swords are commonly found on Internet replica vendor shops and in anime/gaming convention vendor rooms, they can still be quite sharp, especially at the tip of the sword. Nevertheless, a scuffle between men that involved both a Master Sword-stabbing and a pot being smashed, both done Zelda-style, reminds us that Liberty City isn't the only place with the potential for inspiring real-world crime -- Hyrule does as well.
