By Oliver Platt
Liverpool have still not won a game against a top-half team in the Premier League this season, but the most oft-repeated statistic in the top flight should not feel like a burden after their latest failure to do so.
As was the case in the reverse fixture at Anfield, the Reds can consider themselves unlucky to have been held to a 2-2 draw by Manchester City on Sunday. Again, a late error cost them; then, it was Martin Skrtel's horrendous back pass. This time, it was Pepe Reina's mystifying decision to vacate his goal to hunt a ball that Sergio Aguero stole and dispatched in some style.
Until that point, Liverpool had played superbly considering the opposition and venue. Only Manchester United have won at the Etihad Stadium since the beginning of the 2011-12 season. It is true that they needed two long-range strikes of tremendous quality to twice take the lead but they have consistently threatened from those distances, scoring more goals from outside the penalty area than any other Premier League team this season.
The movement and vibrancy of Liverpool's front five was extremely encouraging and was evidence of an attack that is finding balance, belief and variety. Suarez carried the Reds through the first half of the season, allowing them to come through their teething problems under Brendan Rodgers with a chance of reaching the top six still intact, but now there are other threats on offer.
Downing and Jordan Henderson were both made available for transfer following Rodgers' arrival and the former admitted in December that he had been told he could leave the club before winning back his place in the starting XI. The latter, meanwhile, was offered to Fulham as Liverpool chased Clint Dempsey. Both have large transfer fees to live up to but now they have the manager's confidence and the difference in their performances is immeasurable.
The lack of a fresh slate afforded to some players was a mistake by Rodgers but over the course of the season he has integrated these cast-offs back into the starting XI. Now they have not only a team but a squad, with the revivals of Henderson and Downing allowing Rodgers to rest Joe Allen and Raheem Sterling when they have sorely needed it.
Mention must go, of course, to Sturridge, who took further strides in his latest impressive display. The 23-year-old immediately added pace and invention to the Liverpool attack but, while he scored against Manchester United, he was also guilty of what could kindly be described as over-enthusiasm and more harshly be labelled as selfishness. Here, he was more sensible and shone even after sustaining an injury to his thigh that bothered him the second half.
|Liverpool are 8/1 to finish in the top four this season with BetVictor
Rodgers was predictably effusive in his praise. "It was an outstanding performance at a notoriously difficult place for teams to even score a goal. What was important for me was to see the confidence of the players, the desire, the quality and the efficiency of their game. I don't think anyone would deny that we probably deserved to win that game," he said.
Only for so long, though, can Liverpool continue to be pleased with a good performance when they have failed to achieve the result they deserve. Rodgers has spoken in grand terms of his ambitions for the Reds but they continue to be detached from the division's top clubs because of the costly errors they commit.
The conundrum for Rodgers in this respect is much the same as Arsene Wenger's. Will the errors eliminate themselves over time - "we will [cut them out], there's no question about that," he claimed - or must he question more fundamentally the quality of the players committing them?
It is becoming increasingly difficult to mount a defence of Reina, who has been guilty of making eight mistakes that have led directly to goals since the start of last season. The defensive core of the Spanish goalkeeper, Skrtel and Daniel Agger simply has not been as good as hoped. Jamie Carragher, at the age of 35, has come into the side and looked like the Reds' best option at centre-back but, while his longevity is commendable, it says something about the shortcomings of Rodgers' first choices.
After the draw against City at Anfield, Rodgers had time to be patient with the flaws in his side. Now, with this accepted season of transition closing, he will need to think and act more decisively. Liverpool looked a truly entertaining team on Sunday and it would be a shame to see that progress go to waste.

New Iranian president vows support for Assad
BEIRUT (AP) — Iran's new president expressed his country's support to Syria's embattled leader Bashar Assad's regime Sunday, saying no force in the world will be able to shake their decades-old alliance.
Hasan Rouhani's comments came as Syrian troops and rebels fought some of the fiercest battles in the mountains of the coastal province of Latakia, an Assad stronghold.
Rouhani made the comments during a meeting in the Iranian capital of Tehran on Sunday with Syrian Prime Minister Wael al-Halqi, Syria's state news agency SANA said.
Syria has been Tehran's strongest ally in the Arab world since Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Iran has been one of Assad's staunchest backers since Syria's crisis began. Tehran is believed to have supplied Assad's government with billions of dollars since the country's crisis began in March 2011. Iran-supported Hezbollah also has sent fighters into Syria to bolster an offensive by Assad forces.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran aims to strengthen its relations with Syria and will stand by it in facing all challenges," SANA quoted Rouhani as saying in a report from Tehran. "The deep, strategic and historic relations between the people of Syria and Iran ... will not be shaken by any force in the world."
Rouhani was elected in June and was endorsed by the country's supreme leader on Saturday, allowing him to begin acting as president. He was sworn in Sunday.
Assad vowed Sunday evening to crush the rebels trying to overthrow him, saying Syria is between two choices: "a state of the law or a state run by thieves and bandits."
Assad spoke while taking part in an iftar, the meal that breaks the dawn-to-dusk fast during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The iftar was attended by government officials, religious leaders and members of the country's unions and political parties, SANA said.
It was Assad's second public appearance this week after he visited troops in the Damascus suburb of Daraya on Thursday to mark Army Day.
Assad said "terrorism cannot be dealt with politically but should be struck with an iron fist."
Assad's troops have achieved victories in the past two months mostly near the capital Damascus and in the strategic central province of Homs that links the capital Damascus with Assad's stongholds on the coast.
Assad said his army, which was built to fight a conventional war against its main enemy Israel, has been able to adapt to the guerrilla warfare it is facing.
The Syrian leader criticized Persian Gulf states that he said are demanding democracy in Syria despite human rights abuses in their own countries.
"Their political systems belong to the middle ages where there are no parliaments or elections," Assad said.
Saudi Arabia and Qatar that have been among the strongest backers of the Syrian opposition.
Rouhani condemned foreign intervention in Syria, saying that the Arab country is passing through a "failed attempt" to strike at the "axis of resistance and rejection to Zionist-American plans in the region," SANA quoted him as saying.
Damascus and Tehran reject the idea that there is an uprising in Syria and say the country is being subjected to an Israeli-American conspiracy because of its support to militant groups such as Lebanon's Hezbollah.
SANA quoted Rouhani as saying that Syria will come out of this war "victorious."
Al-Halqi said the Syrian people will "not forget friends who stood by their side during times of difficulties," SANA reported.
More than 100,000 people have been killed since the uprising against the Assad family's four-decade rule began in March 2011. The revolt later escalated into a civil war, which has uprooted millions of people from their homes.
Assad's and Rouhani's statements came as Syrian troops and rebels fought Sunday some of the fiercest battles in the mountains of the coastal province of Latakia, an Assad stronghold.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the clashes in the Jabal al-Akrad region in Latakia province began around dawn when rebels attacked government forces' posts. It said both sides used tanks, artilleries and mortars in the fighting, while government warplanes took part in the battles.
Although much of Latakia has been under the firm control of Assad's forces, some mountainous regions such as Jabal al-Akrad and Jabal al-Turkomen have witnessed fighting because they are close to rebel-held areas.
The observatory said 12 rebels, including foreign fighters, were killed in the fighting, as well as 19 troops and pro-government gunmen. Dozens were wounded as well, it said.
The Local Coordination Committees, another activist group, said at least eight people were killed in the fighting in Latakia province. It added that rebels fired Russian-made Grad rockets at government positions.

It does highlight just how contradictory this argument is. Here we have God, the omnipotent being, being constrained by natural laws and unable to create a universe with life without sticking to set rules. However, here God pops up and manages to create life (in a universe which can only produce life by holding to the natural laws that have God by the short 'n curlies), while bypassing those natural laws that are just-so so that life can exist.
The universe is almost entirely a vacuum, in which black holes, not life, thrive.

The ADS8861 is a 16-bit, 1-MSPS, true-differential input, analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The device operates with a 2.5-V to 5-V external reference, offering a wide selection of signal ranges without additional input signal scaling. The reference voltage setting is independent of, and can exceed, the analog supply voltage (AVDD).
The device offers an SPI-compatible serial interface that also supports daisy-chain operation for cascading multiple devices. An optional busy-indicator bit makes synchronizing with the digital host easy.
The device supports unipolar, true-differential analog input signals with a differential input swing of –VREF to +VREF. This true-differential analog input structure allows for a common-mode voltage of any value in the range of 0 V to +VREF (when both inputs are within the operating input range of –0.1 V to VREF + 0.1 V).
Device operation is optimized for very low-power operation. Power consumption directly scales with speed. This feature makes the ADS8861 excellent for lower-speed applications.

Dr. Levene's research interests involve protein-DNA interactions in site-specific recombination and the structure and dynamics of nucleic acids in solution.
Research Interests
Chemical and enzymatic probing methods are powerful techniques for examining details of sequence-dependent structure in DNA and RNA. Reagents that cleave nucleic acid molecules in a structure-specific, but relatively sequence-non-specific manner, such as hydroxyl radical or DNase I, have been used widely to probe helical geometry in nucleic acid structures, nucleic acid-drug complexes, and in nucleoprotein assemblies. Application of cleavage-based techniques to structures present in superhelical DNA has been hindered by the fact that the cleavage pattern attributable to supercoiling-dependent structures is heavily mixed with non-specific cleavage signals that are inevitable products of multiple cleavage events. We present a rigorous mathematical procedure for extracting the cleavage pattern specific to supercoiled DNA and use this method to investigate the hydroxyl radical cleavage pattern in a cruciform DNA structure formed by a 60 bp inverted repeat sequence embedded in a negatively supercoiled plasmid. Our results support the presence of a stem-loop structure in the expected location and suggest that the helical geometry of the cruciform stem differs from that of the normal duplex form.

Tonight at 9 p.m. HBO unveils the premiere episode of Hard Knocks:Training Camp With The Dallas Cowboys as the NFL Films crew gets up close and personal (but not too close to Jerry Jones; the camera lights will melt his eyelids) to America's Team for the second time around. This has to be bittersweet for Dave Campo who was the Cowboys head coach the last time around and now is just a lowly secondary coach with a lot less face time and a much smaller whistle. No snazzy pool parties at the Jones mansion for you this time around, Dave! There is still hope for star-helmet melodrama, though, according to the Dallas Morning News:
"Folks in the know at NFL Films are remaining unusually tight-lipped about the series opener. There has been a lot of speculation that the Terry Glenn-Jerry Jones saga would eat up some minutes. But if it does, Films is not saying. Then again, Films has until this afternoon to deliver a finished product to HBO."
However there weren't be a lot of hotshot quarterback dimwit arm candy, according to the Star Telegram:
If viewers are tuning in wanting to see the Jessica Simpson-Tony Romo soap opera, they are going to be disappointed. The producers say they don't have any footage of Jessica, because she has not been at the Residence Inn complex where the team is staying. Despite teasing the show by saying the cameras would chase the story lines when the deal was struck with the Cowboys, [HBO Sports President Ross] Greenburg sounds much different now. "She hasn't shown up and we're not out there as E! Television Network looking for her."
Wouldn't it be great if Romo dumped Jessica Simpson and did so by having her summoned then asked her to turn in her playbook? Anyway, do something worthwhile with yourselves tonight. Eat a healthy meal or something. Take a cold shower. And, of course, thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. Lights, camera...business as usual for the Cowboys [Dallas Morning News] It's a 'Hard Knocks' Life For Cowboys [Star-Telegram]

PHOENIX (AP) — Another dust storm and thunderstorm blew through the Phoenix metropolitan area after heavy rain fell on many parts of western Arizona.
Winds from an approaching storm system around sundown Monday pushed a hazy brown cloud over most of the Phoenix area.
There were reports of some downed power lines and trees in Tempe, but no immediate reports of any injuries.
Arizona's monsoon season begins in mid-June and runs through Sept. 30 and has produced massive dust storms called "haboobs" in recent years.
Much of western Arizona was under a flash flood watch Monday.
The Mohave Daily News reported that rain in the Bullhead City area closed several roads Sunday as runoff deposited mud, rocks and debris in low-lying areas.

TOKYO (AP) — The mayor of Nagasaki on Saturday raised concern over Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's push toward Japan's more assertive defense policy as the city marked the 69th anniversary of the atomic bombing.
Speaking at the ceremony in Nagasaki's Peace Park, Mayor Tomihisa Taue urged Abe's government to listen to growing public concerns over Japan's commitment to its pacifist pledge.
Thousands of attendants, including U.S. Ambassador Caroline Kennedy and a record number of representatives from 51 countries, offered a minute of silence and prayer for the victims at 11:02 a.m., the moment the bomb was dropped over Nagasaki on Aug. 9, 1945, as bells rang. They also lay wreaths of white and yellow chrysanthemums at the Statue of Peace.
The U.S. dropped two atomic bombs on Japan in August 1945, prompting Tokyo's World War II surrender. The first on Hiroshima killed 140,000 people and the Nagasaki bomb killed another 70,000.
The anniversary comes as Japan is divided over the government's decision to allow its military to defend foreign countries and play greater roles overseas. To achieve the goal, Abe's Cabinet revised its interpretation of Japan's war-renouncing constitution.
Polls show more than half of respondents are opposed to the decision, mainly because of sensitivity over Japan's wartime past and devastation at home.

Generex Oral-lyn™ Phase III Dossier Submitted To Indian Government For Marketing Approval
Phase III Data Demonstrates Effectiveness and Non-inferiority When Compared to Injected Insulin
Jan 23, 2013, 09:30 EST
WORCESTER, Mass. and TORONTO, Jan. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Generex Biotechnology Corporation (www.generex.com) (OTCBB:GNBT) today announced that it has been advised by its Indian licensee, Shreya Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd. (www.shreya.co.in), that they have submitted a dossier of the results of the recently completed Phase III trial of Generex Oral-lyn™, the Company's proprietary buccal insulin spray product, to the Indian government seeking approval for marketing and commercial distribution.
The trial, entitled "A 12 Week, Open Label, Parallel Group, Comparative, Multicentric Phase III Study to Assess Efficacy and Safety of Metered Dose Buccal Insulin Spray versus Rapid Insulin, s.c. on Subjects with Type II Diabetes who are inadequately Controlled (i.e. 6.5% < HbA1C < 8.5%) while on Oral Anti-Diabetic Agents", was conducted at 14 sites in India with 209 subjects randomized with a 95% completion rate. The results of the Phase III trial show that Generex Oral-lyn™ is as effective as subcutaneously injected regular insulin and that non-inferiority has been established. Additionally, Generex Oral-lyn™ was shown to be well-tolerated by patients and a preferred alternative to injection.
Shreya has advised Generex that the dossier was submitted in December of 2012 to the Drugs Controller General (India) (DCGI), Central Drugs Standard Control Organization, Director General of Health Services, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India. Generex has also been advised that Shreya anticipates receiving government approval for the marketing and commercial distribution of the product, known in India as Oral Recosulin™, in the summer of 2013.
The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimates there are over 50 million people with diabetes in India. Generex will be working with Shreya as they develop educational and sales and marketing plans for Oral Recosulin™. "This Phase III trial and upcoming approval demonstrate the viability of Generex Oral-lyn™ as an effective alternative to injected insulin in a large and diverse patient population, and is a significant component in our overall Generex Oral-lyn™ clinical development strategy," noted Dr. James Anderson, Generex's Senior Scientific Advisor. Mark Fletcher, President & Chief Executive Officer of Generex, commented: "We are pleased to be working with our partner Shreya as Generex moves forward in the reestablishment of its global Generex Oral-lyn™ and diabetes programs."
"We are most pleased with the results of our Phase III study," commented Ram Shelat, Shreya's CEO. "In anticipation of the DCGI's approval, we have begun working with Generex to facilitate the commercialization of Oral Recosulin™ in India."
These Generex Oral-lyn developments will be reviewed as part of the previously announced Company conference call scheduled for Thursday, January 31, 2013.

WASHINGTON --The Food and Drug Administration says the deadly listeria outbreak in cantaloupe was probably caused by pools of water on the floor and old, hard-to-clean packing equipment at a Colorado farm.
The agency said Wednesday that contamination at the packing facility at Jensen Farms is likely to blame for the outbreak that killed 25 people in a dozen states. Investigators found positive listeria samples on equipment and fruit there.
The FDA said Jensen Farms had recently purchased used equipment that was corroded and hard to clean. The agency said the way the cantaloupes were cooled after coming off the fields may have also contributed to listeria growth.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the outbreak sickened 123 people.

A new government report backs federal mileage-based user fees, which drivers would have to pay at tollbooths.
In fact, the federal government is becoming increasingly convinced that mileage fees are a great way to raise spending money, as much as $78 billion annually, says the new report from the Government Accountability Office.
Continue Reading Below
Especially as the government sees gas tax revenues drop as it pushes green energy electric cars. Electric car drivers would have to pay the mileage fees as they don't know pay gas taxes. Trouble is, drivers of cars and trucks running on regular gas may have to pay the mileage fee on top of gas taxes, too. States like Oregon and Minnesota have already experimented with these mileage fees.
How much could the new fee cost you? More than regular gas taxes, anywhere from $108 to $248 annually, compared to the average $96 "drivers currently pay in federal gasoline tax," says the GAO.
How much dough could the government collect? GAO says to replace current federal fuel tax revenues, the new mileage fee would have to raise $34 billion. But since the government wants to spend even more to maintain the highway system and improve "performance," the fee must raise $78 billion, the GAO says.
The new fees are likely coming because Congressional Budget Office has already projected in January 2012 that the federal Highway Trust fund will start to go broke this year. The fund finances road projects using the federal gas tax, which raises an estimated $36 billion annually. The revenue from mileage fees could even "be set to replace or supplement current highway trust fund revenues," the GAO says.
Even the head of Amtrak says the federal highway trust fund is in worse shape than, well, Amtrak. "In the past four years, the federal government has appropriated $53.3 billion from the general fund of the Treasury to bail out the highway trust fund," Amtrak Chief Executive Officer Joseph Boardman said in testimony at a congressional hearing last September. "That's almost 30% more than the total federal expenditure on Amtrak since 1971. Revenue generated from highway users accounted for only 45.7% of total funding available for highways in 2010. The rest came from taxpayers."
So instead of taxpayer bailouts, taxpayers will have to pay more fees to drive around. More than half of all states back a federal test of mileage fees for trucks and electric cars, says the GAO. Many states "would support federal actions to evaluate mileage fees," says the GAO.
But there are still lots of problems that could put the brakes on the idea. The GAO says mileage fees "continue to face significant public concerns related to privacy as well as cost challenges."
Meaning, for government officials to collect these fees, you'd have to install those GPS systems at your own expense, so the government could track your road use. "Implementing a system to collect fees from 230 million U.S. passenger vehicles is likely to greatly exceed the costs of collecting fuel taxes," the GAO says.
Already, government officials in a number of states are test-driving ways to track miles traveled via consumer smartphones that link to onboard devices — such as GM's OnStar, Ford's SYNC, Nissan's CARWINGS and Toyota's Entune.
All of this raises "privacy concerns" which "are particularly acute when global positioning system units are used to track the location of passenger vehicles," the GAO says.
Despite the problems, the GAO says the U.S. can look overseas to see how great mileage fees work in other countries, especially on trucks. Which means any company that relies on the trucking system could in the future have to spend a lot of money on new GPS systems and the fees. Think Fedex, UPS, all of the major trucking companies, as well as the fuel industry which transports fuel via trucks.
"Germany and New Zealand have achieved substantial revenues and benefits such as reduced road damage and emissions with fewer privacy concerns" after those countries installed trucking mileage fees, the GAO says, adding, that two states with such trucking fees had fewer privacy and cost concerns than passenger fees.
Here's another reason why truckers are vulnerable. "In 2000, the Federal Highway Administration estimated that heavy commercial trucks generally pay less in federal taxes than the road damage costs they impose," the GAO says, adding, "Adjusting mileage fee rates to account for vehicle road damage costs would increase rates for commercial truck users."

In September 2012, Nourishing the Planet's Carol Dreibelbis spoke with Ela R. Bhatt, founder of the Self Employed Women's Association (SEWA) in India. SEWA is a national trade union that helps women working in informal sectors, like agriculture or childcare, gain the same rights, securities, and self-reliance as those who are formally employed. Ms. Bhatt, a Gandhian practitioner of non-violence and self-reliance, has dedicated her life to improving the lives of India's poorest and most oppressed women workers.
In addition to founding SEWA, Ms. Bhatt is the founder of India's first women's bank, the Cooperative Bank of SEWA, and one of the founders of Women's World Banking, a global microfinance organization that works to economically empower women. She served in the Indian Parliament from 1986 to 1989, and is a member of The Elders, an independent group of global leaders who work together for peace and human rights, among many other roles.
You gave a speech to the United Nations Development Programme in 2011 on your "100 Mile Principle"; since then, you completed field testing on the Principle. Can you explain what it is?
The 100 Mile Principle urges us to meet life's basic needs with goods and services that are produced no more than 100 miles from where we live. This includes food, shelter, clothing, primary education, primary health care, and primary banking.
The 100 Mile Principle ties decentralization, locality, size, and scale to livelihood, suggesting that the materials, energy, and knowledge that one needs to live should come from areas around us. Seed, soil, and water are forms of knowledge that need to be retained locally. Security stems from local innovations, not distant imports. Essentially, the link between humans and nature has to be restored; the link between production and consumption has to be recovered.
The Principle also focuses on the ideas of community and citizenship. I think citizenship has two levels: it is both membership in your community and membership in your nation-state. The social space defined by national citizenship is inadequate, and the nation-state alone can be alienating and coercive without membership in a community. Take food as an example: food has to be grown locally and made locally. When food is exported, the producers have no access to the fruits of their labor.
A community is autonomous when it controls food, clothing, and shelter. Communities lose control when they go beyond the local. When food is exported, when technology is centralized, when shelter depends on some remote housing policy, we lose our freedom as a community. So the 100 Mile Principle guarantees that citizens retain control, inventiveness, and diversity.
Why did you choose a distance of 100 miles?
One simple reason is that you can travel 100 miles and return home by dinner time. But 100 miles does not need to be taken literally—it represents the distance that can provide essential goods and services for a district or state. It could be 200 miles in a desert or hilly region, 50 miles in a dense, produce-rich location, or 10 miles near a town. The distance may also vary for different goods and services: food may come from within a 10-mile radius, but specialized healthcare may require 100 miles or more.
The distance of 100 miles is a starting point for thinking in local terms. Whenever we have used the term "100 miles," people from all walks of life—students, rural women, economists, academics—have understood the focus on local goods and services.
How did you field test the 100 Mile Principle, and what were some of the most important results?
The field study involved over 100 households in 10 rural villages from Surendranagar and Anand/Kheda districts in Gujarat, a state in Western India. We spoke with households about how they meet their basic needs and how far they would need to travel for primary education, health care, and banking.
The study revealed that rural populations have some amount of control over their food through a combination of growing their own, bartering, community and caste practices, and the Public Distribution System. A great deal of local food production and consumption is already occurring. In the case of clothing, though, most prefer cheaper, easier-to-maintain synthetics and ready-made garments from outside of 100 miles. The study showed that many desire "city-type" homes: this could be achieved with use of local material and local manpower, meeting the 100 Mile Principle and maintaining freedom of choice.
Primary education is available in all of the villages, but there is limited capacity for technical or skill-related education. Very few of the villages have a local trained doctor, meaning residents must travel to the nearest town for health care. Home herbal remedies are still used but are now less favored than medicinal tablets from the village grocer.
How can the 100 Mile Principle help communities deal with some of the most pressing issues they face, such as food security?
Food security cannot be guaranteed by foreign imports. Instead, we encourage local seed banks, owned and run by small and marginal farmers. Local, small-scale warehousing would largely overcome the problem of food scarcity, as well as rampant waste of edible food products due to lack of storage. The possibility of setting up smaller grain storage units owned by and managed by a group of small-scale farmers needs to be explored. There should also be local tool banks so that farmers can borrow these when required.
We also suggest that every primary school at the rural level develop an agricultural training center. Here, young people can learn improved farming techniques, farm-related IT skills, food processing, and on-farm processing. Prompt actions should also be taken to release the mortgaged land of small and marginal farmers. Land is their only source of livelihood.
Many small and marginal farmers can grow enough food for their own needs as well as some surplus to sell. But, for a number of reasons—including increasing cultivation of cash crops instead of food crops, animal pest management problems, and the rapid sale of land for industry—the situation is changing.
To combat hunger and to achieve food security for all, we have to protect ways of life and livelihoods of the farming communities. This is the fundamental policy point. Growing food grains should be a viable and profitable occupation for the farming community. But, broadly speaking, the producer currently gets about 60-70 percent of the price paid in the market, and the balance goes to the middleman or the enterprise that sells the products. Therefore, middlemen should be removed where possible. It is also important to bring down the input costs, including the costs of irrigation, seeds, and fertilizers.
As the founder of the Self Employed Women's Association, you work to organize women for full employment and self-reliance. What role does the 100 Mile Principle play in women's success?
After field testing the 100 Mile Principle, I am convinced more than ever that without the active participation of women farmers, hunger cannot be reduced. When the 100 Mile Principle is put into action, productive work opportunities and income will increase, the health of women and girls will increase, infant and maternal mortality will decrease, and housing will improve. In addition, there will be a decline in compulsive migration of youth from villages to cities, increasing local assets. Local farmers will take active interest in crop planning and learning new agricultural skills. Farmers, artisans, and village officials will strengthen their community.
What criticisms has the 100 Mile Principle faced?
We have received a variety of criticisms. Some people consider the Principle to be too theoretical, or irrelevant to urban areas. Others feel that it is inhibiting progress in this era of globalization. And others have suggested that it goes against the ideas of freedom of choice and the power of market forces—particularly competitive advantage.
Despite this criticism, we know through SEWA experience that ideas can be translated into a measurable influence on the lives of people. At the same time, I want to make clear that the Principle is a guide or a philosophy rather than something to be forced on anyone.
What are your plans to continue refining and spreading the 100 Mile Principle?
At some point I would like to carry out fieldwork in other parts of India to gain more data on the Principle. In the meantime, my major aim is to propagate this idea, especially among young people and urban consumers. Some of the findings also have implications for public policy, especially measures that help small-scale farmers and family farms.
There are some policies and government schemes already in place for health care and nutrition, but there is a large communication gap that prevents these policies from being as effective as possible. Control and implementation of these schemes need to be in the hands of local people who are aware of the realities on the ground. I am in the process of putting the field study results in the form of a book.
Now it's your turn: How important do you think it is to keep basic goods and services on a local scale? Please let us know in the comments below.
Carol Dreibelbis is a former research intern with the Worldwatch Institute's Food and Agriculture Program.

Out of the Woodwork: Almost a Plane Wreck
The perilous flight of the world's most valuable tool.
By Christopher Schwarz
Page: 104
From the April 2005 issue #147
Buy this issue now
Half of the airplane's hydraulic system had failed at take-off; the other half failed as the plane was 10 minutes from the Atlanta airport. So the flight crew prepared the passengers for an emergency landing because they were going to hit the ground at about 200 miles an hour.
"Arms crossed; heads down," came the instructions from the crew. Clarence Blanchard was about to do as he was told, but there was something nagging at him so much that he just had to stand up and rummage through the overhead compartment.
Blanchard, you see, just happened to have the world's most expensive tool in a 1971 hard-case Samsonite above his head. He retrieved the ebony and ivory hand plane and cradled it between his legs. And then he waited for the plane to hit the ground.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Former Federal Energy Regulatory Commission chairman Jon Wellinghoff said Wednesday an April attack on Silicon Valley's phone lines and power grid was terrorism — despite repeated FBI statements that it had found no indications to back that up.
Wellinghoff, who was in office during the incident, said he reached his conclusion after consulting with Defense Department experts about the attack that involved snipping AT&T fiber-optic lines to knock out phone and 911 service, and firing shots into a PG&E substation, causing outages.
"This is the most sophisticated and extensive attack that's ever occurred on the grid to my knowledge," Wellinghoff told The Associated Press. Similar statements were published on Tuesday by The Wall Street Journal.
FBI spokesman Peter Lee said Wednesday that at this point "we don't believe it's an act of terror, international or domestic."
The FBI is the lead agency in the investigation, and Lee said the agency has specific definitions of terrorism that involve motive, intent and political ideology. He said the investigation is ongoing and urged people not to jump to conclusions.
Wellinghoff said he was speaking out on the issue now because he's concerned the grid isn't being adequately protected.
He said he didn't know what the motivation was for the sabotage, "but I don't know what the definition of terrorism is other than when an extremely well-trained group attacks a major piece of infrastructure in an expertly planned attack."
His concerns underscored earlier statements from high-ranking officials about the incident.
In October, former CIA director Jim Woolsey said in a Commonwealth Club appearance that video from the incident showed a group of three or four men, in a "disciplined military fashion," had conducted the attacks. He provided details about how they systematically fired their weapons, and said they "quickly and professionally disposed of everything they had."
"This wasn't hooliganism," he said. "This was a systematic attempt to take down the electric grid."
In December, during an oversight hearing, U.S. Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., described "an unprecedented and sophisticated attack on an electric grid substation with military-style weapons. Communications were disrupted. The attack inflicted substantial damage."
He said he would withhold details of the incident to avoid harming the investigation but added he had been in touch with the FBI about it.
Last April, a day after the Boston Marathon bombings, millions of people in Santa Clara County were asked to conserve energy after power lines were damaged.
At a news conference later that day, Sheriff Laurie Smith said someone had lifted heavy manhole covers at about 1:30 a.m. in two places on Monterey Highway south of San Jose, climbed under the road, and cut AT&T fiber optic cables, temporarily knocking out 911 service and phone service.
About 15 minutes later, someone fired a high-powered rifle into a nearby PG&E substation, damaging at least five transformers and causing an oil leak, she said.
"We believe that the perpetrator or perpetrators were familiar with the systems," she said then. "They knew where to go for the fiber-optic. They knew where to cut. They also were able to take out some very, very critical parts of the PG&E substation."
She said the attacks could be described as "sabotage."

Rated 3 out of 5 by Fashionhunger from Easily damaged This top is absolutely stylish and beautiful. However, every single one in the store that I've seen including my which was purchased online was damaged. And with this material, once one string got loose, the whole shirts is ruined. And since Bebe doesn't except sale returns, I really don't know what to do with it. I'm not recommending this experience to anyone.

Tom Hiddleston for The Crow remake?
- Bang Showbiz
- 22 April 2013
Tom Hiddeston is reportedly in talks to star in a remake of 'The Crow', which originally starred Brandon Lee as a man who returns from the grave to avenge his death
Tom Hiddleston is in talks to star in a remake of 'The Crow'.
The 'Avengers' actor has entered negotiations with Relativity Media to star in its new adaptation of the popular James O'Barr comic book series, according to TheWrap.com.
Hiddleston reportedly sent test footage wearing the iconic character's black-and-white make-up to producers for the film and is expected to undergo a proper make-up test in the coming days.
'The Crow' was first made into a movie in 1994 starring Bruce Lee's son Brandon Lee. The film was overshadowed by tragedy as Lee was killed by a prop gun which, while filled with blanks, had a real bullet cartridge lodged in the barrel unbeknownst to the cast and crew.
The darkly-toned film and comic books centre on a man who returns from the grave to avenge his death.
The remake is being produced by Ed Pressman, Kevin Misher, Ryan Kavanaugh and Jeff Most.
Hiddleston has also recently signed on to star in 'Capa', a biopic about famed war photographer Robert Capa.
The actor will next reprise his role as mischievous villain Loki in 'Thor: The Dark World' later this year and is expected to be involved 'The Avengers 2', which is set for release in 2015.

But while recent rainfall and snowmelt have increased water levels and improved habitat conditions, many traditional waterfowl hunting areas remain much drier than in recent seasons.
Last week's snowstorm was followed by cold temperatures across the state, as much as 10 degrees below normal at many reporting stations, and that's a positive development for Arkansas duck hunters.
But while recent rainfall and snowmelt have increased water levels and improved habitat conditions, many traditional waterfowl hunting areas remain much drier than in recent seasons.
Cold temperatures bode well for waterfowl hunters, as even colder conditions in the Midwest and Northern Plains mean many waterfowl habitats have frozen, ostensibly forcing ducks and geese southward.
But waterfowl arriving in Arkansas are finding relatively dry conditions. The White River and Cache River bottoms remain much lower than last season, and many AGFC green-tree reservoirs that rely on rainfall and runoff are still well below target water levels.
But there's a little good news for public land hunters. Water levels have improved significantly across southern and eastern parts of the state, with Bayou Meto WMA reporting increased water levels in many impoundments.
Over the next few days, hunters may encounter extremely cold conditions in the mornings, with forecast lows in the 20s through the weekend. Shallow water habitats such as flooded agricultural fields likely will freeze, meaning open water areas such as rivers, reservoirs and oxbow lakes may offer good hunting possibilities.
Next week's forecast calls for a slight warming trend that should move temperatures closer to normal for this time of year.
While this waterfowl report seeks to provide information that is as timely as possible, hunters should keep in mind there's often a lag of two or three days between the time field reports are received and this report is published. Thus, actual water levels and percentage of flooded habitat may differ from what's reported here.

Introducing Google Treasure Maps
In order to help the ailing global economy Google Maps has today unveiled a new map layer, 'Treasure Maps'.
The new Treasure Maps layer should help all fortune seekers find any nearby hidden booty. To view the Treasure Maps layer just select the button on the top right of Google Maps. If you need additional help in finding any hidden treasure, whilst in Treasure Maps, open Street View which now has a very handy black and white telescope view.
There are actually a number of hidden clues on the map. Look for icons that have numbers beside them - the numbers are map co-ordinates that you can follow to new locations. Check out the comments below for help on where to find the treasure or check out this Treasure Maps - Spoilers post.
If you do manage to find the two passwords hidden on the map then you should be able to access two zipped files that Google have now posted online. Here's what Google says about the files:
"Have you found Captain Kidd's long-lost treasure yet? We found some locked treasures on the map, but Captain Kidd locked these with a secret code:"
The new Treasure Maps layer of course has nothing to do with April Fools Day.
MapsTD has already hacked the new map layer. You can now play Tower Defence on the Treasure Map layer of Google Maps.

Well except for Roger... which is awesome... I'm so looking forward to late additions, cause I know there's gonna be some. right Coachella?
maybe, maybe not who knows?!?!?
Whoa....people complainin' about Portishead already?
they are great.. i'll try to get as close as I can, but everybody has said it, their no headliner....Whoa....people complainin' about Portishead already?
portishead is/was probably one of the acts i'm most looking forward to.
now they're one of the only.
you know what? that's probably true... which is a big disappointment, cause I've been there, coachella people are always so open minded, and it's kinda frustrating seeing so much complaining. but oh well.you know what's funny is i was expecting portishead. it's just the when everyone saw the first name on the poster reads as jack johnson. it gives the whole fest a weird vibe. like if they removed that name, i bet everyone would feel fine about this year. really.
i also noticed every "headliner" has such a stoney vibe about them. Really to me all stoner music
maybe they should change the name to Roachella.
maybe this is a way to filter the annoying people out
as predicted by nostradamus
Well it only seems to be making more annoying people come, so far.
I still do not understand if the SAturday headliner is Prince or Portishead (I pray the latter).
Im going with Prince...
Upcoming Shows:
Metallica: 9/08 @ Alerus Center
Riot Fest: 9/14-16 @ Douglas Park
Bad Religion: 9/15 @ Bottom Lounge
Metallica: 10/16 @ Wisconsin Entertainment and Sports Center
Metallica: 3/09 @ KFC Yum! Center
Hey, Madonna played in 2006, a bigger artist than Prince, and she was not the headliner that year, so maybe Portishead is still the headliner.
madonna succked last 2006 but the masses loved her. yeah jack john ...stone fest worried me too....waters is classic so bring him on...same with prince..
wolfmother was awesome in the tent and reminded me of how cool it was to see muse in the hottest part of the day. coachella is a part of your life, like memories of an x girlfriend that you actually liked.

Today's music picks: Outside Lands reveals dates, but who will headline?
The dates for the 2014 Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival, the Bay Area's mammoth annual celebration of music and more, have been set. It returns to Golden Gate Park Aug. 8-10. So, we know when the party is happening, but we still don't know who the guests of honor will be. Of course, that won't stop festivalgoers from speculating about which acts will headline the three-day event. The odds-on-favorite, many believe, is OutKast, the popular hip-hop duo that is reuniting for Coachella and plans to play other festivals as well. Another potential candidate is Green Day, the East Bay band who has yet to perform at the Bay Area's biggest music festival. So, my guess is that OutKast and Green Day will headline two of the three days. Beyond that, however, it's anybody's guess. Fingers crossed for Kanye West.

The Knife is coming to the Bay Area. The incredibly popular Swedish electronic music duo, which is one of the main headlining acts at the big Coachella music festival in Southern California, will perform April 15 at the Fox Theater in Oakland. Tickets are $35. For more information, visit www.apeconcerts.com.

Miley Cyrus can sing! That's something that I often forget, amid all the headlines about what she's wearing/doing. Yet, this video always reminds me of her talent. It's one of my favorite songs, for sure, so it's nice to hear Miley do justice to it.

GOP Representative George Nethercutt recently went to Iraq; after he returned, he gave a speech to a group of college students which was reported on by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer on October 14. The P-I titled its story "Nethercutt Hails Iraq's Recovery," with the subtitle "'It is a…better story than losing a couple of soldiers every day.'" The key portion of the story read:
"'The story of what we've done in the postwar period is remarkable,' Nethercutt, R-Wash., told an audience of 65 at a noon meeting at the University of Washington's Daniel J. Evans School of Public Affairs.
"'It is a better and more important story than losing a couple of soldiers every day.'
"He added that he did not want any more soldiers to be killed."
The story provoked widespread crititicism of Nethercutt on the ground that he sounded callous toward the deaths of American servicemen.
Nethercutt is now going on the offensive; claiming that the P-I quoted him incompletely and out of context, he demanded a correction. The P-I refused, so Nethercutt is now taking out ads in the P-I and the Seattle Times, which say that the P-I "deliberately distorted" his remarks to make him look bad. Here is the relevant portion of Nethercutt's speech, in full:
"So the story is better than we might be led to believe in the news. I'm just indicting the news people, but it's, it's a bigger and better and more important story than losing a couple of soldiers every day which, which heaven forbid is awful." I would agree with Nethercutt that the P-I's "He added that he did not want any more soldiers to be killed" does not convey a good sense of his full remark. It is interesting, too, that while the P-I's defense is that they can hardly be expected to quote Nethercutt's speech in full, and their paraphrase was accurate, the "paraphrase" was longer than Nethercutt's actual words. So why not just quote what he said?
This isn't a particularly bad case of newspaper editing, in my view, but if anyone doubts that the P-I has an agenda here, this is how they wrap up their story on the controversy and Nethercutt's ads:
"The tempest over Nethercutt's remarks at the UW is similar to a media flap over comments made by Murray, and criticized by Nethercutt, in December. The senator told a Vancouver, Wash., high school class that terrorist leader Osama bin Laden was popular in poor countries because he has helped pay for schools, roads and even day care centers."
Got that? The controversy over Murray's utterly misinformed praise of Osama bin Laden was a "media flap," just like this one.

Zanzibar was interesting. We enjoy a wine with our meals and this was not possible at the hotel where we were staying. The East Coast was very relaxing prior to our return home.

Animal kingdom gets in on Super Bowl
A harbor seal at The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk is betting the tank and her last mackerel on the San Francisco 49ers to win Sunday's Super Bowl game against the Baltimore Ravens.
In what's become an annual tradition, animals from across their kingdom are making their picks and are just about as split as their human counterparts.
Orange, the 30-year-old harbor seal in Norwalk, joined other finned friends from across the country in picking the 49ers. Gabby the green sea turtle in Myrtle Beach, S.C., and Emma the sea otter near the site of this year's game in New Orleans also picked the team from the city by the bay.
The Ravens were the clear favorite among land-roving animals. Princess the camel from the Popcorn Park Zoo in New Jersey and Ozzy the grizzly bear from ZooMontana both agreed Baltimore would prevail.
San Francisco is the 3 1/2-point favorite among the official oddsmakers.

One of the more interesting things I heard about during advertising week was this Clickz article from Christoper Heine covering a panel called "Do Agencies Need to Think Like Tech Companies?" If you've been reading this blog, you know I'm a big advocate that both agencies and startups could learn something from one another.
I latched in particular one some of the remarks made by Paul Gunning, CEO of TribalDDB that articulated some of the resistance agencies have to adopting a more agile approach, but one quote in particular got me thinking...
According to Gunning, startups "are really smart people, but they also got lucky.... We mitigate. We don't want risk."
Financially, this doesn't make sense. Agencies risk hundreds of millions of dollars on campaigns that hang on single messages. Creative directors have been risking billions of advertising dollars on 30 seconds for years. By contrast, most startups in this "lean" era merely gamble the price of funding a small team.
The truth is that agencies take HUGE risks to affect small changes and startups take small risks for more disruptive changes. Would you rather spend $100 million to persuade people that you're more fun than they think you are, or spend $10 million to create something fun they can use for years?
Agencies mitigate risk primarily by sticking to what they believe still works. I think that's a risk in itself.

Stores Bring Black Friday to the Web
Shoppers Skip the 3 a.m. Wake-Up Call and Frigid Queues; Retailers Open Earlier and Match Store and Internet Specials
As retailers gear up for the traditional shop-fest known as Black Friday, they are focusing on the mobs that line up outside stores and—increasingly—on the masses that shop online from home.
Chain stores prefer impulse-purchase-prone store shoppers. Yet sales growth during the busy Thanksgiving weekend more often is coming from Internet shoppers like Melanie Cortese.

Sing "If You're Happy and You Know It" with different actions, such as clap your hands, pat your head, tap your toes, and touch your nose. Make up new verses for other body parts your child is learning to name! This will help add to your child's ever-growing vocabulary, which is a key part of building reading readiness.
