Soybeans rose the most in five weeks and corn climbed on speculation that China has boosted purchases from the U.S., the world's largest exporter. Wheat also gained.
China has bought about 20 cargoes of U.S. corn in October, Shanghai JC Intelligence Co. wrote on its website today. U.S. supplies delivered to China are $2.40 a bushel cheaper than domestic prices, according to the Linn Group. U.S. soybean export prices are about $1.25 a bushel cheaper than supplies from Brazil, boosting demand, the researcher said. A 16-day U.S. government shutdown that ended yesterday with a new budget agreement has limited data on crop prices and export sales.
Prices "are rising on speculation that China bought more than 3 million tons of soybeans and up to 2.5 million tons of U.S. corn the past three weeks," Roy Huckabay, an executive vice president at Chicago-based Linn Group, said in a telephone interview. "The trade is expecting those sales to be announced shortly, now that the government is back to work."
Soybean futures for delivery in November jumped 1.3% to close at $12.9325 a bushel at 1:15 p.m. on the Chicago Board of Trade, the biggest gain since Sept. 12.
Corn futures for delivery in December rose 0.1% to $4.43 a bushel in Chicago, heading for the first weekly increase in three weeks.
In the 12 months that started Oct. 1, China's soybean imports may jump 16% to a record 69 million metric tons from a year earlier, and corn shipments might more than double to 7 million tons, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said Sept. 12.
Reports Canceled
The government shutdown, which began Oct. 1, deprived investors of daily and weekly USDA export sales. The monthly reports on U.S. and world supply and demand for major crops including soybean, corn and wheat originally scheduled for Oct. 14 were canceled today, the agency said. The next update will be on Nov. 8.
Wheat rose on concern that cold weather may harm crops in Argentina and excessive rain might delay harvesting in Brazil, boosting demand for supplies from the U.S., the world's biggest shipper.
Wheat futures for delivery in December added 0.7% to $6.86 a bushel on the CBOT, snapping a two-day decline.

PRINCETON, N.J., Oct. 23 (UPI) -- Columbia University in New York tops the annual Trojan Sexual Health Report Card for student accessibility to sexual health resources, the condom maker says.
The study, sponsored by makers of Trojan Brand Condoms, said for the second year in a row, Columbia University earned perfect scores in categories such as HIV testing for students, contraceptive availability, as well as the newly implemented "extra credit" category, which incorporated student testimonials to gauge sentiment on campus.
Sperling's BestPlaces analyzed more than 140 major campuses drawn from conferences within the Bowl Championship Series and beyond in all 50 states. Rounding out the Top 5 were the University of Illinois At Urbana-Champaign, Princeton University in New Jersey, Brown University in Rhode Island and Oregon State University.
Sperling's BestPlaces researchers collected extensive data via student health center representatives, along with follow-up secondary research on those centers and students on campus. Student health centers were graded on services across 13 separate categories, including:
-- Student opinion of Health Center.
-- Hours.
-- Allow drop-ins or require appointments.
-- Separate sexual health awareness programs for students.
-- Contraceptive availability, free or at cost.
-- Condom availability -- free or at cost.
-- HIV testing on-site (On/off campus, cost).
-- Sexually transmitted infections on-site (On/off campus, cost).
-- Anonymous advice for students available.
-- Lecture/outreach programs for sexual health issues.
-- Student peer groups.
-- Web site functionality.
Ranked in the bottom five were: Seton Hall University, Chicago State University, the U.S. Air Force Academy, Brigham Young University and DePaul University.

Knicks end disappointing season by beating Raptors, who get No. 3 seed anyway
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
NEW YORK – The Knicks lingered on the court, soaking in the cheers from the fans wearing those giveaway orange shirts that were probably meant for the playoffs.
And once they left, that was it. Hard as it still is for them to believe, there is no more basketball for the Knicks this season.
New York finished its disappointing season with a 95-92 victory Wednesday night over the Toronto Raptors, who blew a 21-point lead but still landed the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
"We held ourselves to huge expectations, had big shoes to fill. Unfortunately we didn't fill them like we wanted to," J.R. Smith said. "We just take that on the chin and use that for preparation for next year."
Toronto moves on to host the Brooklyn Nets, who fell to the No. 6 seed, in its playoff opener Saturday.
"We know we can beat them. We beat them twice this year, and we beat 'em once without me playing. We're all excited," said All-Star DeMar DeRozan, who played just 22 minutes.
Cole Aldrich made the tiebreaking dunk with 1:23 left for the Knicks, who won their final four games to finish 37-45. Smith scored 30 points, and Aldrich finished with 13 points and 16 rebounds.
Kyle Lowry scored 22 points in 26 minutes for the Raptors, who finished 48-34.
"The mindset going in was to make sure our guys didn't get hurt and get some rest and we did that," Raptors coach Dwane Casey said.
The Knicks charged back to tie at 74 entering the fourth by outscoring the Raptors 30-17 in the third. The game became meaningless during the period when Charlotte finished off an overtime victory over Chicago, meaning the Raptors could do no worse than finish tied with the Bulls. Toronto owned the tiebreaker as a division champion.
The Raptors, a team that wasn't expected to be in the playoffs but instead replaced the Knicks as Atlantic Division champions, will be in the postseason for the first time since 2008.
"This is huge. When I first got here that was one of my biggest goals, to get this team back to the playoffs and I'm happy to be there," Lowry said. "But, I'm not satisfied. I want to make some noise and show that we're a good team."
Toronto won six of its final eight games. The only other loss was last Friday to the Knicks, a night before New York was eliminated from the postseason when it couldn't climb all the way out of the huge hole it dug with its dismal start.
"The last month and a half, two months has been great for our ballclub to see them back playing like Knick basketball should be played," Knicks coach Mike Woodson said, "so I'm excited about that."
Smith's dunk tied it at 90, and he followed Aldrich's basket with a jumper to make it 94-90 with 21 seconds to go. Tyler Hansbrough scored while being fouled and the Knicks couldn't get the rebound after he missed the free throw. But Toronto eventually threw away an inbounds pass and Smith made one last free throw.
The Knicks won without Carmelo Anthony, sidelined by a torn labrum in his right shoulder, and fellow starters Tyson Chandler and Raymond Felton on the last game before changes could come.
Woodson said before the game he believe he's the right coach for this team, but hasn't had a conversation with new president Phil Jackson yet about his future. That's likely Jackson's first big decision, with another this summer if Anthony goes through with his plan to become a free agent.
Lowry scored 17 in the first quarter, when the Raptors made 11 of 17 shots and led 28-21. Toronto quickly pushed the lead into double figures in the second, opening the period with an 11-2 burst that made it 39-23 on Dwight Buycks' 3-pointer. Toronto went ahead by as much as 21 before taking a 57-44 lead into the break.
Notes: The Knicks announced they had signed Lamar Odom before the game, giving Jackson the offseason to look at a player who thrived playing for him when Jackson coached the Lakers. Odom was a key member of the Lakers' championship teams in 2009 and 2010, and the Sixth Man of the Year in 2011.

PASADENA – The contrasts between the two candidates running in the 27th Congressional District race mirrors those of the district itself.
The new 27th Congressional District is a sprawling geographic mass. The district wraps in a large swath of the Angeles National Forest; it includes the tree-lined western San Gabriel Valley cities of Pasadena and San Marino; the Asian majority political strongholds of Monterey Park and Alhambra and the cities to the east like Upland that benefitted greatly from the real estate bubble of the last decade.
The race to represent the seat pits a politician with more than 20 years of service against a political upstart who says the problem with the country is the lack of fresh faces and ideas.
Rep. Judy Chu, D-El Monte, is vying to represent the newly drawn district, which includes the a large portion of the first majority Asian legislative district in the state.
Chu cites experience as her edge in the race.
"I've been in Congress for three years, elected office 27 years, including Garvey school board, Monterey Park City Council where I served as mayor, the California state Assembly and the State Board of Equalization," Chu said.
While her opponent Republican Jack Orswell can't match Chu's wealth of lawmaking experience, he is no stranger to government.
Orswell spent 15 years as a white collar crimes investigator with the FBI pursuing corrupt politicians and business people.
"I took on tough cases against well-entrenched Teamsters. When the Teamsters were stealing money from workers we went after the teamsters," Orswell said. "I feel Congress is entrenched and not doing the job for America, they are trying to further their careers."
While bipartisan bickering marks the daily discourse in Washington, D.C., Chu remains confident that Republicans and Democrats can close the ideological gulf between the parties.
They better.
The Bush-era tax cuts are set to expire and with them triggered funding cuts will kick in if the two sides can't strike a deal before the New Year. Chu said she doesn't expect any work on the federal funding sequester to begin until after Election Day.
Orswell has tired of the seemingly unending brinkmanship in Washington, D.C. He said his candidacy is in effect an alternative to the ongoing narrative of partisan political fights and last minute resolutions that merely kick the can down the road.
"If you are happy with the way things are going in Congress, vote them back in," Orswell said. "If you keep electing the same people and expect something different, it's not going to happen."
The disparity between the candidates is also apparent in their fundraising. Orswell, the political neophyte has raised $87,507, according to the Federal Election Commission. Chu, according to the FEC, has raised $938,650.
For the San Gabriel Valley, both candidates support completion of the environmental report for the controversial 710 freeway. However, Orswell remains "skeptical that the tunnel can be built economically."
If elected, this would mark Chu's third term in the Congress. In her third term, she would like to expand business opportunities in the San Gabriel Valley, by bringing a small business development center to the region. The federally backed facility helps small businesses with loans and consultations on how to expand.
"I am running to make sure we are able to fix this economy," Chu said.
For Orswell, this race comes down to whether the country will continue to saddle the next generation with debt.
"We are getting government services that we are not paying for and saddling our grandchildren with debt," Orswell said.
The 27th Congressional District includes portions of Pasadena, all of San Marino, Alhambra, South Pasadena, Arcadia, Glendora, Upland, Claremont, portions of Monrovia, and unincorporated portions of Los Angeles County including Altadena.
Democrats make up 41.8 percent of voters in the district, while Republicans comprise 28.5 percent of the registered voters in the 27th Congressional District. Declined to state voters account for 23.9 percent of the district's voters, according to figures from the Aroundthecapitol.com.

October 2012, Munich, Germany - At an award ceremony in Munich in October 2012, AnsuR Technologies of Norway, a long standing partner of UNITAR/UNOSAT, won the ESA App Challenge, part of the GMES Masters European Earth Monitoring Competition. The ASIGN crowd-source app, developed by AnsuR and partners within the EU research project GEO-PICTURES, allows citizens worldwide to automatically upload and share geo-referenced pictures, videos and other data.
The application works on Android and iOS operating systems and has been tested by UNOSAT in operational contexts during natural disaster response in Colombia, Haiti, Thailand, Pakistan, Nigeria and other countries, in combination with UNOSAT rapid mapping.
The ASIGN solution won the ESA App Challenge for the best application idea for the use of GMES on mobile phones, addressing one or more GMES main thematic areas (land, marine environment, atmosphere, climate change, and emergency management). The application provides near-real-time integration of pictures, video, sensor data and assessment results from anywhere in the world. In presenting the Awards, Jean-Jacques Dordain, Director General of the European Space Agency said "I was pleased to learn that, in 2012, the response to the GMES Masters has once again been very strong, turning out a large variety of innovative ideas for the commercial use of data and services from the GMES programme"
In the case of UNOSAT, the tool provides UNOSAT experts in Geneva with fast situational information that is useful in interpreting satellite imagery in complex situations, such as dense urban environment. In emergency situations receiving information directly from teams and citizens present in the areas affected is of paramount importance to know what has happened and where.
"This is a great achievement for a small start-up company. It shows we can develop solutions that are appreciated and cutting-edge" said Harald Skinnemoen, Managing Director & Executive Chairman of AnsuR. "We are most pleased on AnsuR's behalf. This app is now an integral part of our humanitarian rapid mapping service" says Einar Bjorgo, officer in charge at UNOSAT.
Before becoming a prize-winning application, the tool had been tested by researches and experts including UNOSAT analysts and widely discussed with the humanitarian user community.

Moon and Mars
The planet Mars has more or less parked itself in the evening sky right now. It's quite low in the southwest as night falls, and sets a couple of hours after sunset. Tonight, it's not far to the upper left of the crescent Moon, so it's a little easier to pick out than on most evenings. It looks like a modestly bright orange star.
Mars is about two-thirds of the way around the Sun as seen from Earth — a little less than 200 million miles away. Over the next few months, it'll inch farther from Earth, eventually passing behind the Sun next April.
Thanks to the relative motions of the two planets, and the time of year here on Earth, Mars won't appear to move too much in the evening sky, though. It'll creep to the right along the horizon, eventually appearing almost due west instead of southwest. But from night to night, its altitude above the horizon will remain almost the same at the same hour. And its brightness won't change much, either.
The background behind Mars will change substantially, though, as the planet continues its usual eastward motion against the background of stars. Tonight, it's near the "spout" of teapot-shaped Sagittarius. By the first of the year, it'll be one constellation over, in Capricornus. And by the time it disappears in the Sun's glare around the end of February, it'll be at the eastern edge of Aquarius.
So keep an eye on Mars as it lurks in the fading glow of twilight over the next few months.

Hollis/Brookline hands unbeaten Plymouth first lossBy RYAN O'CONNOR
Sunday News Correspondent
June 07. 2014 11:09PM
NASHUA - Rarely has Michael Soucy found difficulty finding the right words to express his emotions. Yet after his third-seeded Hollis-Brookline boys lacrosse team outscored previously undefeated Plymouth by 10 goals in the second half of Saturday's Division III semifinal, Soucy told his team he was speechless.
"It's the best half of lacrosse we've played all year," he said, following HBHS's 16-6 triumph at Nashua's Stellos Stadium. "I think part of it is, and I don't know what happened, but we lost to Con-Val a week ago, and it just kind of woke us up, and we've played a little bit better every game since then."
Plymouth (16-0) had survived many challenges throughout the regular season to carry an unblemished record into the D-III semis, but (14-2) Hollis-Brookline's second-half surge was too much for the second-ranked Bobcats to handle.
"They stuck to their game plan, and really, the difference was that they capitalized on their man-up situations," said Plymouth head coach Glenn Mausolf. "They were able to find the two-on-one situations, and they were able to put it in the back of the net ... we took some penalties and it just kind of snowballed on us."
Though the teams entered halftime deadlocked at four goals apiece, the HBHS offense, paced by six goals from senior attacker Ryan Papineau and five tallies from Sam Whitaker, proved too potent in the second half. The Cavaliers outscored their foes from the White Mountains 12-2 in the final 24 minutes including four of eight fourth quarter goals on a man-advantage during the first three minutes of the final frame.
"We opened them up a little more in the second half. I think that was partly due to the penalties they drew," said Soucy. "I think special teams, in a lot of ways, was the difference. Special teams really held down for us in the first half, when we were getting all kinds of penalties. We didn't give up much from it, and they were winning the faceoffs too. It got flipped in the second half, where they picked up penalties and we were able to capitalize, and we were gaining possession off the faceoff too. That's a huge difference."
A few timely second-half adjustments also contributed to the offensive surge, said Soucy.
"We opened things up a little bit," he said. "We got them to come out and play us, and when teams do that, we have an opportunity to go by them, and certainly that happened."
Perhaps lost in the second half offensive onslaught was the play of senior goalie Logan Blake and the HBHS defense."Logan Blake was unbelievable. He kept us in there in the first half and made some unbelievable saves in the second half," said Soucy."I thought my defense, especially around the eight minute mark of the second quarter, I thought my defense was gassed," he said. "I thought they had nothing left in the tank because we had played so much defense at that point and time, and they just held solid."
Hollis-Brookline awaits the winner of top-seeded (18-0) Derryfield against No. 5 (13-3) Con-Val.
"We'll be happy to have another shot at either one of them because we lost to both of them the last time we played them, so it doesn't really matter who play," said Soucy

Mammals are unable to synthesize metabolically various amino acids necessary for protein synthesis and should incorporate foods from the diet. These amino acids are called essential. Photosynthetic organisms can synthesize it. Has long been accepted that the metabolic pathways involved in the biosynthesis of amino acids in plants are identical to those in microorganisms. However, recent results indicate significant differences and a higher level of complexity due to the existence of multiple enzymes that are distributed in different subcellular compartments.

All processes of gene activity are accompanied by alterations in DNA helical tension. Consequently, the double helix twists on itself, or supercoiled to remain stable throughout its length. This tension may be very high during the processes of transcription and DNA replication, since the two strands, always linked in the double helix, are forced to separate, in part or total. Due to the enormous length and the large condensation of DNA molecules in chromosomes, the coil voltage can not dissipate spontaneously. Read the rest of this entry »

Embryonic development and morphogenesis of individual organs are common schemes based processes. In them, groups of undifferentiated cells, they initiate a series of complex interactions with internal and external signals, in order to establish patterns that direct cells to their subsequent proliferation, differentiation, coordinated morphological change and migration. This seemingly elementary, requires the integration of a series of activations and changes in the expression levels of a few basic genes. Two mechanisms are paramount in this general scheme: the proper control of temporal and spatial activation patterns of cell signaling, and the union of these patterns with cellular effectors that activate cellular responses in terms of gene activity or cell morphology.

3 more overtimes, 4 Big East teams still standing
Three more overtimes, four Big East teams standing.
And there's plenty still to come at Madison Square Garden.
Syracuse, Cincinnati, Louisville and Notre Dame advanced to the
semifinals of the nation's most exciting conference basketball
tournament on another day of March Madness in the city that never
The 23rd-ranked Fighting Irish capped a hectic Thursday by
outlasting South Florida 57-53 in a game that went to overtime and
ended just before midnight. Hours earlier, Yancy Gates and the
Bearcats got past No. 13 Georgetown 72-70 in double OT.
No. 2 Syracuse rallied for a 58-55 victory over defending
champion Connecticut in the first quarterfinal, and Rick Pitino's
feisty Louisville team ran away from No. 9 Marquette, 84-71.
Jim Boeheim and the Orange face Cincinnati in one semifinal
Friday night, followed by Louisville against Notre Dame.
The Irish advanced this far the past two seasons as well, but
they've never gone further. They are 0-4 in semifinal games since
joining the Big East for the 1995-96 season.
"I really believe this group, of all my teams, is most equipped
to get to Saturday night," coach Mike Brey said. "It's something
we talked about in our program for a while. It's the next step. I
think our program has been extremely consistent and solid in the
Big East, but playing on Saturday would mean a lot, and I think
this group has really digested it. Of course, we play the same guys
who stopped us from getting there last year in Louisville."
That game went to overtime as well, before the Cardinals emerged
with an 83-77 win.
And hey, it figures.
Three games have gone to OT already in this year's Big East
tournament, matching 1998 and 2011 for the most ever. Perhaps that
bodes well for the third-seeded Irish (22-10), who are 3-0 in
overtime games this season after edging No. 6 seed South Florida
(20-13). They won 67-65 in double OT at Louisville on Jan. 7.
"Every time we play them it's never regulation. The last six,
seven games. It's unbelievable," Brey said.
Gates scored 23 points in his back-and-forth, big-man duel with
Henry Sims, including two baskets in the last 2 minutes of
regulation as fourth-seeded Cincinnati (23-9) fought back from an
11-point deficit with less than 8 1/2 minutes left against No. 5
seed Georgetown (23-8).
The senior was such a force that the Hoyas swarmed to him on the
Bearcats' final possession in the second overtime, freeing Cashmere
Wright to bank in a runner for the winning shot with 7.6 seconds to
"This is my last shot at it, so you don't want to just play one
game and go home right away," Gates said. "I'll never play in the
Garden in the Big East tournament again, so just trying to push and
fight and stay here as long as possible."
There were seven ties and 18 lead changes in the first
multiple-overtime game at the Big East tournament since Syracuse
beat UConn 127-117 in six OTs in the 2009 quarterfinals.
Then, in the semifinals last year, Connecticut beat the Orange
76-71 in overtime.
Their rematch Thursday ended in 40 minutes, but it was pretty
tense just the same.
The top-seeded Orange (31-1), expected to be a No. 1 seed in the
NCAA tournament as well, won their 11th straight game overall. This
was their first game after earning a double-bye into the
"I hate sitting around all week, and it's very difficult,"
Boeheim said. "We haven't played that many games and we need to
play again. Tomorrow's game will help us, but this was a tremendous
comeback. This team has been very good down the stretch all year,
and that was the case today."
The game again pitted Boeheim against fellow coaching great Jim
Calhoun – though both have been dealing with off-the-court problems
this season.
Boeheim, whose program has weathered the child sex-abuse
allegations against fired associate head coach Bernie Fine and
recent allegations of former players in the program failing drug
tests, earned his 887th win, second on the career list.
"This was reported five years ago, and we're waiting for them
to finish the process," Boeheim said when asked about the drug

Me and a friend of mine are working on a community website.
The website is intended to unify different youtube communities.
We are making the site from scratch and try to create everything ourselves and bring the users a high quality experience on the website.
The website is still in development and far from the first release date, especially because we wanna make everything ourselves, for example we will be creating a forum, chat etc. from scratch.
Since we are both really busy with either school or work we need someone to help us with the code.
So if you would like to work on this project, have a good time and maybe even make some money, please send me a e-mail with the following information: Name and Age, something about yourself, your coding skills (languages, specialities etc.), timezone, (optional) some examples and maybe something else we need to know about you?
We prefer somebody from our age (around 20) and it would be cool if you would live in roughly the same timezone (we both live in Europe GMT +1).
If you want some more information about the project just ask me (pm, e-mail, skype etc.).
Thanks in advance,

We recently heard about the two young ladies in Minnesota who hung themselves after being bullied for not fitting in and being overweight. That's ridiculous that our children have to commit suicide due to another's person's bias and hatred.
A hate crime is any criminal act motivated by bigotry and bias. That bias can be based on racial, religious, ethnic, handicap, gender or sexual orientation prejudice. Through harassment, intimidation, or violence, hate crimes are an assault on our constitutional rights and our physical wellbeing. And they cannot be tolerated.
Crimes motivated by hatred and bias are among the most serious challenges to public safety our Commonwealth faces. The Patrick-Murray administration is committed to preventing, responding to and supporting the victims of hate crimes in every community.
Since 1991, Massachusetts has been aggregating data from local police departments on the number and nature of hate crimes reported in every one of the Commonwealth's communities. For more information on these reports visit www.mass.gov/eops.
Ending hate crimes in our communities requires each of us to do our part. Raising awareness about hate crimes and the promotion of non-violent, tolerant attitudes are the most important tools we have to improve the safety of all Massachusetts citizens.

Scores From Troubled Indiana Test Set For Release
Scores from the problem-plagued ISTEP test that Indiana students took last spring are expected to be released Monday.
The public release of those scores has been delayed by the state Department of Education while reviews have been conducted into online testing glitches experienced by students.
A report released in July found about 80,000 students in third through eighth grade had at least one part of the statewide standardized test interrupted when server glitches from a state contractor kicked them offline. That's about 16 percent of all students who took the test.
An independent testing expert hired by the state determined that the interruptions had little effect on the scores, but still recommended about 1,400 results be thrown out to avoid tainting the other test scores.

Addressing the Women's Plea' for Soviet Jewry on Human Rights Day' last week, Warren Eisenberg, director of the International Council of B'nai B'rjth, said that in recent years Jews have been held hostage to productive relations between .the United States and. the Soviet. Union.. "When! theyshow signs pt progress, emigration flows; when'the relationship cools, emigration is dammed up," Eisenberg said. Noting that the emigration ■ of Jews from the USSR had virtually ceased, slowing from more.than50,00Oin 1979- to less than 10,000 for 19,1,' Eisenberg said as bad as this was, it was made worse by flagrant persecution and anti-Semitism in the^Soviet Union. , ■'''-' He pointed out that' although Soviet President Leonid Brezhnevs* took a stand against anti-Semitism' at the 26th Communist Party congress last February, "He cynically opposes the most basic Jewish right to be identified with a national homeland." Eisenberg added that of the 105 identifiable cul- • tural groups in the USSR, only Jews suffer cultural and" religious deprivation, a behavior he described as "unconscionable."

United States Broadcasting Board Governors
On October 1, 1999, the Broadcasting Board Governors (BBG) became the independent federal agency responsible for all U.S. government and government sponsored, non-military, international broadcasting. This was the result of the 1998 Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act (Public Law 105-277), the single most important legislation affecting U.S. international broadcasting since the early 1950s.
Every week, more than 140 million listeners, viewers, and internet users around the world tune in and log on to U.S. international broadcasting programs. While the "Broadcasting Board of Governors" is the legal name given to the Federal entity encompassing all U.S international broadcasting services, the day-to-day broadcasting activities are carried out by the individual BBG international broadcasters: the Voice of America (VOA), Alhurra, Radio Sawa, Radio Farda, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), Radio Free Asia (RFA), and Radio and TV Martí, with the assistance of the International Broadcasting Bureau (IBB).[1]

The Best Homemade Mother's Day Gifts For Recent Graduates on a Budget
You want to get your darling mother something beautiful and meaningful this Mother's Day, but with the amount of student debt you've just graduated with, you're balling on a budget. So, roll up your sleeves and put on your creative caps because you'll have to get crafty this Mother's Day:
7.) A Bouquet of Flowers:
Nothing says "I Love you Mom" like the overwhelming beauty of hand-picked flowers. Look around the house and repurpose a can to use as a vase; it'll save money and remind her of her glory days when she could crack open a Hamm's with her thumb and shotgun that bitch while the crowd chanted her name. You know, before she gave birth to you and all.
6.) The Sweater You Borrowed from Her Two Months Ago:
Moms love lending their sweaters to others, because that's just how much they sacrifice for the ones they love. Plus, there's a good chance she forgot she ever lent it to you and she'll think it's a new sweater already in her perfect mom size and elegant mom style. Why risk buying new, trendy clothes when her favorite sweater is already right there in your closet?
5.) Coupons:
You can't go wrong with some classic, homemade coupons. Mama doesn't care about material items, she cares about spending time with her loving children. Why not offer to do some of her stupid, adult chores and lighten her load? She'll be thrilled not to have to wax your dad's back this week. It's the little things.
4.) A Mix CD:
If you really want to tell your mother how much you love her, why not do it through the universal language of music? Whip her up a mixtape of tunes that remind you of her smothering, mothering love and her heart will burst with joy. Some essential tracks to burn include "The Perfect Fan" by The Backstreet Boys, and Kanye's, "Hey Mama".
3.) An Adult Coloring Page:
Coloring is no longer just for children. Hours of blood, sweat, and marker poured into just one coloring page will show your mom just how much you love her. Deciding which swirly, flower pattern or intricate, elephant body to color that correctly represents your mother's soul should not be taken lightly, you don't want any bad juju out there on Mother's Day.
2.) A Pet Ant:
With you graduating and all, she truly has an empty nest and she'll be wanting a pet to keep her company and to care for. Due to your limited means, you can only choose from what creatures you can capture in your backyard; an ant, a worm, a rock, etc. She'll love to name it and feed it little blades of grass or dirt or whatever it is ants eat.
1.) Get a Job:
The best gift of all to give to your mother who has loved and supported you for the entirety of your life, is to get a job, get a life, and get out of her hair. She's done her job, now it's time for you to find one of your own.
Moms do a lot for us; they guide us through life, they give us life. We love you mom, and please let us live in your basement rent free.

HERNDON, Va., April 30 (UPI) -- In the fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood," a young girl almost gets eaten by a wolf disguised as her grandmother. The moral of the story: Be careful whom you trust.
Learned early by children, the moral isn't always retained by adults. Scams often victimize those too trusting.
When honest endorsers naively lend their high-profile name to such a scam, investors foolishly assume their investment is safe. But those blindly accepting endorsements as gospel without independent investigation court disaster.
Investigative responsibility especially arises when endorsers promote investments outside their expertise parameters, such as churches sanctioning political party agendas effecting U.S. national security.
Such an endorsement was given by the Presbyterian Church (USA). It is a political scam artist's dream.
The church's intentions are good -- seeking to embrace another religion in an act of equality. But it fails to recognize the threat this other religion poses to Presbyterianism's future existence -- a religion hiding a deadly political agenda it silently promotes.
The religion is Islam. It lacks tolerance for non-Muslims under a religious/political system of laws known as "Shariah" -- so adverse to the U.S. Constitution, supporting one system excludes the other.
Islamists predicted in a strategy document they wrote, Americans will awaken too late to realize the Constitution has been targeted.
Before embracing Islam as a religion amongst equals, the Presbyterian Church needs to understand how Islam's Koran views all other religions.
Concealed within Islam is a political belief system of superiority (Koran 3:110, "You are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind"), entitling its believers alone to human rights -- limited as they are. Presbyterian Church leaders opening their arms in a show of tolerance fail to understand Islam's sinister designs to displace Presbyterianism, and all other religions, based on this belief.
Hard to believe? These designs are recorded in a 1991 strategic document Islamist leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood wrote explaining how to topple U.S. democracy by paralleling Prophet Muhammad's successful actions in imposing Islam upon others 14 centuries ago.
Discreetly circulated, the strategy paper seeks to use America's penchant for tolerance and political correctness against it, slowly replacing the U.S. Constitution with Shariah. "Shariah creep" is already making headway!
Found stored in a hidden sub-basement during the 2004 search of a Muslim leader's U.S. home, the documents are most telling concerning the strategy's success -- evidenced today by the Presbyterian Church's endorsement of various Islamic Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated entities (including unindicted co-conspirators in a fraud case that funneled money to terrorist groups).
Similar to Muhammad's seventh century successful strategy, Islam's modern era assault strategy involves three "jihads."
"Stealth jihad" is applicable when Muslims find themselves a minority seeking to plant Islam's seed among a majority non-believer community.
For Muhammad, it began when living among pagans in Mecca. It involves the "peaceful" promotion of Islam, assuring the majority of its tolerance to co-exist with other religions. Koran (109:6) says, "You shall have your religion and I shall have my religion."
Meanwhile, as did Prophet Muhammad, Muslims plot victory over non-believers, pretending to be friendly but lying about Islam's true intentions. Lying is a sin for Presbyterians but isn't for Muslims under "taqiyya," allowing deception to further Islam's influence.
Stealth jihad's endgame is to intimidate the majority into feeling guilty Muslims are victimized -- guilt allayed by then granting Muslims protected status over other religions.
This approach failed with Mecca's pagans who kicked the Muslims out for belittling their religion but did win Muhammad sympathy among Medina's non-believer majority who provided protection upon his arrival. This gave Muslims time to increase their numbers and resources, gaining influence while so protected.
"Defensive jihad" follows, allowing Muslims to violently defend any attacks—whether military or verbal.
In his day, while enjoying Medina's protective umbrella, Muhammad initiated this jihad by attacking Mecca's pagans, claiming they had "attacked" Islam by rejecting it. He used assassins to silence critics.
Medina's majority began awakening -- too late -- to the fact neither Muhammad nor Islam were peaceful. The Islamic seed growing in Medina became a vine choking the rights of the majority as Muhammad imposed Islam upon them, opening the door for the final jihad.
Now a majority with political power, Muslims employ "offensive jihad" by aggressively focusing violence upon all non-believers, including those who protected them earlier and even those who had never attacked. Koran 9:73 states, "Strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them." Despite non-believers' non-aggression, Islam finally reveals its true colors as a non-peaceful religion declaring (Koran 3:151), "Soon shall We cast terror into the Hearts of the Unbelievers."
The tolerance Muslims espoused as a minority vanishes when they become a majority, demanding non-believers submit to Islam by paying a tax or converting. This is observed today as most Muslim countries ban non-believers, prohibiting them from practicing their own faith -- contrary to the Presbyterian Church's policy.
Transitioning from stealth to offensive jihad, the Koran changes tunes. Gone from the latter is the "Kumbaya" of the former; allegations of Muslims' false victimization give way to real victimization of non-Muslims to "convert or die."
Islam is built upon a platform of hypocrisy, deception, human rights rejection for non-believers and violence (demanding death for apostates, contrary to any other religion's practices).
Culling extremists from the supposedly majority peace-loving Muslim herd is difficult as taqiyya allows deception, raising the question whether moderates are wolves in sheep's clothing. If Islam is peaceful, moderates have much explaining to do about a Koran strongly revealing a contrary view.
The Muslim Brotherhood's strategy is its blueprint for overcoming democracies throughout the West -- only differing on timing. The United States is in stealth jihad; Europe is in defensive jihad; offensive jihad is yet to come.
But, as extremists boldly declare, Islam's flag one day will fly over the White House.
The chameleon changes color to deceive predators. Islam changes color to deceive non-believers. Little Red Riding Hood proved capable of sensing such deception. Will the West prove equally as capable?

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Andy Reid said that he "goofed" when he didn't have the proper personnel in the middle of his defense to contend with the Eagles' new wide-nine scheme up front last season.
The Eagles defense was torched early last year on the ground when a group of young linebackers and safeties -- led by first-year defensive coordinator Juan Castillo -- had difficulty adjusting to a scheme that spread out the defensive ends and had the defensive tackles focused on the pass rush. The Eagles opened the season 1-4 and never recovered from the slow start.
"We had young guys there, and so I knew that going in," Reid said Wednesday at the start of an hour-long interview at the NFL owners meetings (click here for the full transcript). "The plan that I had I didn't execute it very well. Right? Thaty's my responsibility. I goofed on that one, right? I expected the young guys on defense to get where they're getting by the end of the season sooner, particularly the middle of the defense -- linebackers and safeties.
"I expected the offense to carry it through. So that part didn't take place. But to tell you, yeah, your linebackers -- the more gaps you open up, the more physical they have to be. That's how it is."
Reid has often been criticized for what some have called his devaluing of the linebacker and safety positions. He was asked if it was a blindspot that contributed to not having the right players in place at the start of last season.
"Well, we ended up being OK," Reid said. "Now we mixed and matched and did that whole deal. So it ended up working out OK at the end."
Still, the Eagles felt as if they needed to upgrade at the position, so this off-season they traded for middle linebacker DeMeco Ryans, an acknowledgment that Reid, as he said, "goofed." The Eagles also locked up a number of their own players to contracts, extending tackle Todd Herremans and defensive end Trent Cole and giving receiver DeSean Jackson a new deal.
Reid pointed to the Eagles' four-game winning streak to close the season as reason why he believed his team could compete for a championship this coming season.
"Yes, I'd tell you, yes," Reid said. "And that's what makes it exciting. I think we have a good group coming back and as long as we build on what we did last year -- which I think is important in this case. Every year is different, I understand that, but you got to take the momentum that you finished with and build on it and continue to get better."
Reid, once again, denied a Los Angeles Times report that there was a rift in the Eagles front office and that he had threatened to quit if he was not given more control over personnel.
"I've had final say for a number of years," Reid said. "I think one of our strengths has always been that we work well as a front office. I'm very into doing it as a team. So that's how we go about things. We share ideas. Open communication. People do have input and I welcome that. And I make that final decision. And I have great people doing it with me."
Reid also refuted a report from Howard Eskin that he had wanted to draft Jason Pierre-Paul two years ago and that general manager Howie Roseman and team president Joe Banner preferred Brandon Graham. The Eagles, of course, ended up choosing Graham two spots ahead of Pierre-Paul, who has developed into one of the game's best defensive ends. If true, the report would suggest that Reid did not have final say on football matters.
"That's not true," Reid said. "We all wanted Graham. We took Graham and unfortunately he got hurt. Fortunately, he's healthy now. We're expecting a good season from him."
Here are the other highlights from Reid's roundtable session with reporters at The Breakers Resort:
-- Reid did not deny that he had looked into the Eagles possibly acquiring quarterback Peyton Manning, but reiterated that he was "happy with Michael Vick -- that's what I mentioned about a month ago, that's how I feel today," he said.
-- When asked if the Eagles were hoping to extend running back LeSean McCoy and avoid a possible distraction like the one the team had last season with Jackson Reid said. "We'll jump in here and start working on that," Reid said. "He's a guy that we sure appreciate having on the team." The Eagles have actually been negotiating with McCoy since the end of last season.
-- Reid did not go as far as Roseman did yesterday in divulging the Eagles plans at cornerback. While Roseman did not say that Asante Samuel was on the trading block, it was clear from his comments that the Eagles have had discussions with other teams about the 31-year-old corner. "Asante is obviously on the team," Reid said. "We'll see how things go with the three of them. I said this last year, and I'd say it again -- It's a pretty good situation to have, if you could sit there and say you have the three of those corners. Asante and [Nnamdi Asomugha] are a little bit older, but both of them can still play and play at a high level."
-- Reid spoke at length about the need for Michael Vick to alter his playing style to avoid further injury. He said his parting message to the quarterback before he left for the off-season was: "You got to stay healthy." The Eagles can't work with Vick until April 16, per NFL rules, but Reid said Vick has been watching a lot of film in the effort to learn from last year's mistakes.
-- Defensive tackle Mike Patterson hasn't had any setbacks from AVM surgery, Reid said. Patterson is expected to be back in time by the start of training camp, but his recovery could affect how the Eagles approach the defensive tackle position in the draft.
-- Reid said that Mike Kafka was Vick's backup heading into spring practices. The Eagles added Trent Edwards in February and he will have the opportunity to compete, but Reid sounded as if he wanted to give Kafka every opportunity to win the job. That being said, some believe the Eagles will be in the market for a quarterback in the draft. "We're looking at that spot," Reid admitted before he added that the Eagles look at every position pre-draft.
-- Wide receiver Plaxico Burress has openly campaigned for the Eagles to sign him. Reid said that he was a fan of the 34-year old, but that "right now that's not where we're at."
-- With guard Evan Mathis now under contract, the Eagles' entire offensive line is signed through the 2014 season. Reid said this was as confident as he's felt about the line since before tackles Jon Runyan and Tra Thomas left before the 2009 season.
