Kiji (キジ, Kiji) is a genin from the Benisu Island.
Both Kiji and his twin brother Sada seem to have very cheerful dispositions and are often seen smiling. The two brothers also tend to sing while they work or if they speak they say the same thing.
Kiji has short black hair that hangs around his face with a topknot. He wears a simple outfit with an apron-like suit over it along with a white sash, wrist warmers and simple shinobi sandals.
As a shinobi from the Benisu Island, Kiji makes use of an abacus that also doubles as a skateboard of sort for transportation. He also seemingly has some knowledge of herbs and plants.
Part II
Paradise Life on a Boat
While on a mission, Kiji , his brother Sada, and Bandō encountered Sakura Haruno, Ino Yamanaka, Chōji Akimichi along with Naruto Uzumaki who were trying to complete their mission to gather herbs from the Nanakusa Island. Because they were on a similar mission, and had already gathered most of the provisions on the island, they offered to allow the shinobi from Konohagakure to pay for some of what they had gathered, but their offer was refused. Claiming that they could gather everything before them, they set out, reaching all the locations before the Konoha shinobi could.
When the teams met up having reached their final stop on the island, Kiji and his team having retrieved the final things on their list are attacked by a giant lizard and are subsequently rescued by Naruto. Grateful to him, Bandō offered some of their harvest from the island to them free of charge, something that shocked Kiji and his brother. As the grateful Konoha shinobi left, they asked him why he would do such a thing to which he told them that he was willing to take a loss now for future pay-offs later.

Improving chemotherapy effectiveness by acting on the immune system
An Inserm team in Dijon directed by François Ghiringhelli is to publish an article this week in the Nature Medicine review. The article suggests that two chemotherapy drugs frequently used to treat digestive and breast cancers may encourage the development of tumors by modulating the anti-tumoral immune response.
These results reveal how the immune system can then limit the effectiveness of some cancer chemotherapies. The researchers now intend to block the molecules responsible for negative immune system activation to increase the efficiency of chemotherapy. A clinical trial to test this hypothesis should begin very soon.
Chemotherapy is one of the most frequently used treatments to eliminate cancerous cells. These drugs kill all cells that are multiplying, or block their proliferation (for example, cells responsible for hair growth, explaining the hair loss of treated patients). In addition to their direct toxic effects, the chemotherapeutic agents also seem to act on the immune system and could make it possible for the body to trigger a direct antitumor immune response in a second phase. However, this last point is still the subject of hot debate, since some studies suggest, conversely, that chemotherapy eliminates all immune defences.
What now?
The Inserm team directed by Professor François Ghiringhelli (Inserm unit 866 "Lipids, nutrition and cancer") from the Georges François Leclerc Cancer Research Centre in Dijon observed that two chemotherapeutic agents, 5-fluorouracile and gemcitabine, used to treat colon, breast and pancreas cancers activate a protein complex "inflammasome NLRP3" within some cells in the immune system.
To be more specific, this activation leads to releasing proinflammatory cytokine (interleukin IL-1beta) through these cells. This cytokine "distorts" the immune response related to lymphocytes T and causes the production of another cytokine (cytokine IL-17), which has protumoral properties by encouraging tumour angiogenesis, i.e. vascular irrigation of tumours.
"Our results have made it possible to ascertain that the activation of inflammasome limits the effectiveness of chemotherapy. The challenge was then to see whether we could prevent the activation of inflammasome" explains François Ghiringhelli. The researchers then tested two different strategies:
The first was to test the two drugs on inflammasome NLRP3- or cytokine IL-17-deficient mice. In these cases, the researchers showed that antitumor activity was not only present, but it actually increased, demonstrating that these two elements (NLRP3 and IL-17) slow down the chemotherapy action.
The second strategy was to treat the mice using an IL-1beta inhibitor. Here again, the effectiveness of chemotherapy was again increased.
These results suggest that targeting the inflammasome and IL-1beta channels, combined with the use of these two chemotherapy agents, can improve the effectiveness of the latter. These tumour cells are eliminated and, in parallel, the damaging immune responses are deleted.
A therapeutic trial combining 5-fluorouracil and IL-1 beta is currently being prepared and should begin soon at the Georges François Leclerc Cancer Research in Dijon.

Until they showed up on the finalist list for the Good Food Awards I had never heard of Evans Brothers' Coffee. It's not surprising given their out-of-the-way location in Sandpoint, Idaho.
[I was a media observer for the GFA competition this year, and it's interesting to note that one of the Evans Bros' submissions, an Ethiopia Yirgacheffe, was one of the most difficult for the judges, garnering the largest spread of scores (79-87, using the Cup of Excellence 100-point scale). Update: This is a great example of how even with a common vocabulary and calibration, experts often disagree. Of course taste is fickle, and "quality" is not a fixed concept—just like the other shifting value the GFAs attempt to reward: sustainability. In the end, the finalists were all incredible, and worthy of notice. And we should sleep easier knowing that lots of folks have different experiences of the same coffee, even the pros.]
The result is what competitions like the GFAs can do well—bring attention to the work of relatively unknown food producers and the farmers whose ingredients they use.
Randy and Rick, the brothers Evans, have been roasting in Sandpoint since 2009. Sandpoint is outdoor heaven, perched on the shores of Lake Pend Oreille, tucked between the Selkirk, Cabinet and Bitterroot mountian ranges. But it has unlikely coffee pedigree, too, as the home of Deitrich Coffee Roasting, one of the only American manufacturers of commercial coffee roasting equipment.
The "Inland Empire"—it's the country I grew up in, and it's full of wild magic.
For those who may not be likely to visit Sandpoint anytime soon, the coffee can be gotten around the Inland Northwest, including in cafes and restaurants in Boise and Seattle. Of course, the internet exists, so it's also available online at evansbrotherscoffee.com.

10 Questions
What inspires your roastery and your roasting?
The roasters and cafes that succeed in telling the whole story, providing transparency on all levels of the coffee chain, inspire us.
How would you describe your roasting style?
We work very hard to source outstanding coffees and we want to show them off. We try to maximize the sweetness of the coffee, showcasing the inherent flavors of the bean. We strive not to mute the fruit and floral characteristics with too much roasty flavor. We feel like we're pioneering the market up here in North Idaho with sweeter and more nuanced coffees; so far, our customers have responded positively to this style.
What's your focus: single origins or blends?
We get most excited about introducing exceptional single-origin coffees, and showcasing the coffee itself and the farmers behind it. But we work hard on our blend development, which allows us to maintain a consistent espresso blend—our customers appreciate it.
What kind of roasting equipment do you use and what do you love about it?
We roast on a Probat L12 and use an afterburner built locally by Selkirk Manufacturing. Prior to this, we roasted on a Diedrich IR-12 and a Diedrich CR80. Both are excellent machines but completely different. The Probat offers more airflow, quicker response, and slightly faster roast times. I feel like we get cleaner tasting coffees with the increased airflow. The Diedrichs were also fun to roast on and offered simultaneous roasting and cooling (which is a huge plus!), and had much easier maintenance than the Probat.
How did you get started roasting?
I first discovered a love for coffee living in Italy during college. Soon after 2000, I moved to Maui, where I helped open and manage Honolulu Coffee Company, a high-end cafe in Wailea. Like most coffee obsessives of the era, I trained using the techniques of David Schomer. I spent the next five years learning everything I could about coffee, inlcuding roasting at home. When I moved back to the mainland to be closer to family I landed an apprentice roasting position with Storyville Coffee, a well-funded startup on Bainbridge Island near Seattle. I was very excited; becoming a roaster was my next goal after working as a barista for five years. It was really cool to work with David Schomer as our consultant. I also attended several training courses with Diedrich, Atlas Coffee, and Boot Coffee.
We decided to relocate to Sandpoint to raise families in a true community, near the great outdoors. We both love the outdoor recreation opportunities that this area affords with Schweitzer Mountain and Lake Pend Oreille. We're fanatical about mountain biking and skiing in particular.
Tell us about the most memorable coffee you've had: Where did it come from? How did you roast it (if you roasted it)? What most excited you about it? How was it served?
The most memorable coffee I had was while visiting the Menendez family farms in El Salvador. While exploring one of their farms, Finca El Rosario, we were sampling the coffee cherries. There was a very small section of shrubs where the fruit tasted completely different from all the other cherries on the farm—it tasted exactly like the sweetest peach I'd ever had. It blew my mind that this microlot could taste completely different from the same coffee planted only 20 feet away. We later cupped some of that coffee and the peach was still very present in the cup. It was absolutely delicious. This experience was a great reminder of why I had adopted the philosophy of roasting to showcase what the farmer worked so hard to achieve.
What's your personal preference: espresso or filter? Do you have a favorite way to make coffee?
We all typically start our day with a pourover on the Hario v60, usually one of our Roaster Reserve coffees. I also like Chemex for a clean cup that highlights sweetness and the delicate flavors of our coffee. But espresso is also great—we always have our Headwall blend along with an exciting single origin to play with. And I really enjoy a traditional macchiato.
What do you love about the coffee scene in Sandpoint?
Artisan coffee is really just being discovered in this area and we're excited to be a part of the coffee revolution in the region. We've hosted all kinds of events: aroma challenges, public cuppings and, recently, the Inland Northwest Thursday Night Throwdown latte art and brewer's competition. Most people around here had never seen a pourover brewbar before we opened. We love introducing someone who normally orders the darkest roast with lots of cream to single-origin coffees dripped to order, served black. We've created a few coffee nerds.
What's the best thing about being a coffee roaster?
We feel honored to be such a critical final step in the complex journey from seed to cup. We take a lot of pride in this. We're grateful for the positive recognition we get from customers but also feel strongly that coffee is not just our creation—it's the hard work of many passionate people along the way. To provide peoples' first ritual of the day is very cool. We want that experience to be great.
Preferred soundtrack for roasting?
Our music scene at the roastery is pretty diverse. You can hear anything from Black Sabbath to Coltrane to Dylan to Thievery Corporation to Hall & Oats. We dig it all!

How about that? I have a post on the Material Collective blog! It's entitled "On Speculative Touch" and benefited from the Gothic Ivories project at the Courtauld (a wonder), as well as the usual gratifying pages of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (a trusted companion). The post itself is a meditation I've long considered on objects awakened by touch.

- CalRecycle updated its EPR Checklist to guide statutory proposals for product stewardship programs.
- Lists of compliant paint manufacturers and brands are available.
- List of compliant carpet manufacturers/brands is available.
What is EPR?
CalRecycle has developed an EPR Framework and Checklist to guide statutory proposals that would allow CalRecycle and other stakeholders to implement product stewardship programs.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), also known as Product Stewardship, is a strategy to place a shared responsibility for end-of-life product management on the producers, and all entities involved in the product chain, instead of the general public; while encouraging product design changes that minimize a negative impact on human health and the environment at every stage of the product's lifecycle. This allows the costs of treatment and disposal to be incorporated into the total cost of a product. It places primary responsibility on the producer, or brand owner, who makes design and marketing decisions. It also creates a setting for markets to emerge that truly reflect the environmental impacts of a product, and to which producers and consumers respond.
On March 8, 2011, a California Assembly hearing was held to discuss EPR policy and featured testimony from a wide variety of experts including representatives from manufacturers, stewardship organizations, retailers, local government, and environmental groups. The discussion covered the economic and environmental impacts of EPR in other regions and how California could benefit from this policy. It highlighted that new jobs are created, not merely shifted from one company to another.
CalRecycle's Efforts
Over the years, CalRecycle's predecessor, the California Integrated Waste Management Board engaged in a variety of program activities concerning products and their impact on the environment. These efforts continue as CalRecycle seeks a comprehensive approach for advancing EPR, building upon the efforts elsewhere in the world.
Most CalRecycle activities in the past have focused on better managing the impacts of product discards, rather than focusing on how to eliminate waste in the first place. EPR is a waste reduction strategy. By shifting costs and responsibilities of product discards to producers and others who directly benefit, EPR provides an incentive to eliminate waste and pollution through product design changes. It allows CalRecycle to better carry out its mission for the citizens of California.
In February 2007, the California Integrated Waste Management Board, adopted a set of Strategic Directives that included Strategic Directive 5: Producer Responsibility. This policy directs staff to seek statutory authority to foster "cradle-to-cradle" producer responsibility and develop producer-financed and producer-managed systems for product discards. Numerous local governments in California have demonstrated their support by adopting producer responsibility resolutions (hosted by the California Product Stewardship Council).
EPR Framework and Checklist: Serve as a guide for proposals that seek statutory changes that would allow CalRecycle and other stakeholders to implement product stewardship programs. The EPR Framework covers the following topics:
- Goals
- Guiding Principles
- Definitions
- Roles and Responsibilities
- Governance
- Product Selection
- To receive periodic information about EPR, subscribe to the Extended Producer Responsibility Listserv.
- You can review previous messages and dialogues by visiting the Extended Producer Responsibility Listserv Archive.

Before the show started, we were entertained with funny videos, magic and body painting. Our host was Donnie Johnson. Guest comedian was BReal Robinson, Linda Lou was the feature act, and P.J. McGuire headlined. In between, the darling Buttercup Delight dazzled with her burlesque. Scandal and Mon Dre entertained us with their slight of hand and other tricks and there was plenty of eye candy throughout. It was a fun evening. I might be biased, but I think Linda stole the show.
The unexpected joke of the evening is that the Men of Sapphire actually perform in the Showroom. I did not know this. I figured it out when the room filled with ladies when the headliner neared the end of his bit. My brother was clued in about the same time. He couldn't believe I brought him to a male review. The promo video was enough for him to bolt. He wanted to wash his eyes out with soap, but it was coconut scented. Instead, we popped over to the lavish area where the ladies perform. It was indeed the largest room I've ever seen, classy, too. I'm sure it is a fun way to part with loads cash. We were welcome to stay, but we headed home. Party poopers, I know.

by Karen Gloor
My club, Good Dog Agility in Arizona, recently started their winter training session. I volunteered to teach a class (after taking a hiatus for a year) and I'm seeing things that I like, and things that I don't like.
Agility class is meant to be a time for you and your dog to bond while learning something new and fun. All too often, people place a lot of pressure on their dogs, even though they are only in an intermediate agility class. Sure, you want you dog to perform the obstacles, but is it worth it if you and your dog are clearly unhappy??
Here's some advice on how to enjoy your experience in an agility class:
While you are waiting your turn, play with your dog. Have your dog follow a treat or toy between your legs, as if performing the weave poles. Not only will this reinforce the weave poles when you work on them, but it's also something fun and motivating for your dog to do.
If your dog is afraid of an obstacle, try your hardest to not stress about it or get upset. This is easier said than done, but if you make light of it, your dog will be more at ease and more willing to do something that they are fearful of. Realize that this is NOT rocket science and that the world will NOT come crashing to an end if your dog won't perform a specific obstacle.
When all else fails, make a fool out of yourself!! Agility is a sport that allows us to be somewhat goofy at times…take advantage of that and let go! I learned long ago that my dog doesn't care what I'm doing, just as long as we are both having fun together. Now other people may look at me kinda funny, but then again, I am doing this for my dog, not for anyone else.
Every dog in your class will have a different learning curve. This is inherent in all dogs and breeds. The herding breeds seem to learn quicker…accept that and realize that it may take a little longer for you and you Beagle to really learn something, but once he/she does, they'll have learned it for life.
Try not to get too carried away. What this means is don't push your dog beyond it's limits. Many people bring a new pup to agility class and the dog learns quickly. The handler gets focused on the fact that this is going to be a GREAT dog and they are going to kick a** in competition. They end up pushing their dog too hard and too much. By the time they are ready to compete, the dog is burned out and no longer having any fun. Remember, your dog is not a robot.
There is a Beagle in my class and I was so happy to see her! It used to be that NEA was the only beagle in class and at shows. In 9 shows out of 10, she still is the only Beagle in attendance, but at least there are more Beagle people showing an interest in attending class.
Agility class is a great place to learn the fundamentals and to learn HOW to actually train. Your dog may never compete, and that's fine. However, if you do want to compete, you must put in more practice beyond the class itself. This involves either training in your backyard or going to a park and setting up some jumps and maybe some weaves. If you need obstacles to train on, follow this link…http://futuremach.baka.com/equip.html…in order to obtain plans on how to make equipment.
As always, remember what initially sparked your interest in the sport and try to keep the enthusiasm level up…your dog didn't ask to be trained, you determined that for them.

Gov. Scott Walker has joined one of the Legislature's most powerful Republicans in saying he's considering ending the state's same-day voter registration law, drawing quick criticism from leading Democrats, including Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett.
The idea was part of the agenda that Walker put forward Friday in an appearance before a sold-out crowd at the Ronald Reagan Library and Museum near Los Angeles, a traditional venue for Republicans looking to run for president.
Wisconsin is one of nine states that allow voters to register at their polling place on the day of the election, and that's often credited with helping make Wisconsin's voting rate one of the highest in the country. Since the Nov. 6 election, both Walker and incoming Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) have said they're considering ending the practice, which goes back to 1976 in the state.
"States across the country that have same-day registration have real problems because the vast majority of their states have poll workers who are wonderful volunteers, who work 13-hour days and who in most cases are retirees," Walker said at the library, responding to a question from an audience member about election safeguards.
"It's difficult for them to handle the volume of people who come at the last minute. It'd be much better if registration was done in advance of election day. It'd be easier for our clerks to handle that. All that needs to be done."
The comments drew a harsh reaction from Democrats such as Barrett and state Democratic Party chairman Mike Tate. Democratic candidates tend to perform better in presidential election years such as this one, when less frequent voters such as minorities and the young show up at the polls in larger numbers.
In the city of Milwaukee, for instance, 48,000 voters, or 17% of the total, registered to vote on the day of the Nov. 6 election, according to the city election commission. That helped boost turnout in the city to a whopping 87%.
Milwaukee Election Commission executive director Neil Albrecht said in an email that the state should take pride in its high voting rates. He said changes to the registration law would affect young people and renters the most.
"For example, students and people in poverty (particularly those with foreclosed homes or other residency hardships) move frequently, sometimes even monthly. We would be doing a terrible disservice to young people and people that are currently economically challenged to base access to voting on anything other than a great spirit of a participatory democracy," Albrecht said.
Albrecht sharply disagreed with Walker's characterization of retirees and other poll workers as unable to handle their work on election day, calling it a "gross misrepresentation."
"I question the motives of any person suggesting unnecessary changes (to voting laws) based on making things easier for election officials," he said.
In an interview, Barrett said that Republicans are upset with President Barack Obama's re-election amid high turnout in Milwaukee and elsewhere in the state and want to see those voting rates fall.
"Clearly the governor is upset with the election results and believes the outcome here in Wisconsin would have been different if there was no same-day registration," Barrett said. "Their goal is to suppress votes of people who don't vote for Republicans."
Sen. Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend), raised another issue: It is harder to check whether the addresses given by voters on election day are correct.
"I've felt we should get rid of same-day registration for years," Grothman said. "If fraud is going on, I think it will be harder to commit fraud under motor-voter than under same-day registration."
Scot Ross, head of the liberal group One Wisconsin Now, said there's no truth to claims of widespread fraud in which one voter impersonates another.
"To date, no Republican has been able to show that there is any impersonation voter fraud and every study shows that there is no rampant voter impropriety in the state of Wisconsin or around the country," Ross said.
A spokesman for the state Government Accountability Board had no immediate response Monday to Walker's comments.
Last year, Kevin Kennedy, the director of the state Government Accountability Board, said eliminating election-day registration would be a mistake. Because Wisconsin allows such registration, the state is exempt from a federal law requiring states to allow people to register to vote at motor vehicle centers and welfare offices. That law would kick in if election-day registration is repealed, driving up costs for taxpayers, Kennedy said.
GOP lawmakers last session considered ending same-day voter registration but decided against pursuing such legislation because of concerns over motor-voter requirements, which can also draw concerns from Republicans.
The last year has already seen a bitter legal battle over the law passed by Walker and the Republican-controlled Legislature requiring voters to show photo IDs at the polls. That law was struck down as unconstitutional by two Dane County judges this year in rulings that are being appealed.
At a postelection luncheon sponsored by the website Wispolitics, Vos said he was "committed" to restoring photo ID before the 2014 elections and was willing to consider a constitutional amendment to do that. Vos also said he was revisiting the earlier decision by legislative Republicans not to pursue legislation to end same-day registration.
"I want to explore that. I want to see if there are upsides to motor-voter as opposed to same-day registration," Vos said.
Walker spokesman Cullen Werwie had no further comment on the governor's remarks Friday, saying that Walker "will evaluate the final version of a (same-day voter registration) bill if it reaches his desk."

Armelle Curley of Smithtown, New York, writes: "My mother, who was French, traditionally made this almond butter cake for Easter. She ground her own almonds, but I find it's much easier to use almond paste instead. I've been making it now for 70 years — not just for Easter, but for other holidays and special occasions."
- Yield
- Makes 8 to 10 servings
- Active Time
- 30 min
- Total Time
- 2 hr
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 plus 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup almond paste (not marzipan; 3 1/2 oz)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup warm water
- Special Equipment
- a 9- to 9 1/2-inch (24-cm) springform pan
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
- Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl, then blend in butter with your fingertips or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Add 1 whole egg and 2 yolks to flour mixture, reserving whites, then knead in bowl until a soft dough forms, about 5 minutes. Put 3/4 cup dough between 2 large sheets of plastic wrap and roll out into a 9 1/2-inch round, then chill 15 minutes.
- Transfer remaining dough to springform pan and cover surface with another large sheet of plastic wrap. Press dough (through plastic wrap) evenly onto bottom. Discard plastic wrap.
- Blend almond paste, cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon water in a food processor until crumbled (paste may be hard). Add remaining 3 tablespoons water, a little at a time, processing until paste is smooth.
- Beat together reserved whites and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until they just hold stiff peaks, then fold in almond paste mixture gently but thoroughly.
- Spread almond mixture on top of dough in pan, tapping side of pan gently to smooth surface.
- Remove top sheet of plastic from remaining dough and cut dough into 1/2-inch-wide strips, then arrange 6 strips 1 inch apart diagonally across almond mixture. Trim ends of strips flush with edge of pan. Arrange 6 of the remaining strips 1 inch apart diagonally across first strips to form a lattice with diamond-shaped spaces. (If dough becomes too soft, chill until firm.) Repair any broken strips of dough by carefully pressing them together and trim ends of strips flush with edge of pan. Discard any remaining strips.
- Bake until pale golden, about 45 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack 10 minutes. Run a thin knife around edge of cake to loosen if necessary, then remove side of pan and cool cake completely, about 30 minutes.

Sexual harassment in the workplace is so last century -- or so it seemed until the Herman Cain scandal made national headlines of the sort this hot-potato issue hasn't seen in years.
But out of sight doesn't mean out of mind. While the number of harassment complaints from employees continues to drop, a recent poll found that two-thirds of Americans still view it as a workplace problem, and one in four working women polled reported having been sexually harassed at least once on the job.
Since it first began sparking widespread outrage in the late 1980s, sexual harassment has ridden the tide of changing times, say consultants and human resources executives. Both women and men are much more willing to speak up when they are being bothered by peers. Same-sex complaints are on the rise, which can mean anything from one woman hitting on another to a straight man questioning a co-worker's masculinity. The Internet and e-mail are playing a significant role, both as tools by harassers to send unwanted images to co-workers and as a means of tracking and proving bad behavior.
There's also a generation gap in attitude toward the threat of being harassed, say employers and trainers who have noticed that workers in their 20s and early 30s don't seem that bothered by the prospect. In fact, they're trying to figure out where the boundaries are for themselves.
"Millennials, who have grown up with the Internet, are finding they need to conform their humor and language quite a bit when they enter a mixed-age workplace," said Fran Sepler, a Twin Cities corporate trainer who investigates 50 sex-harassment cases a year.
Robert Weber, co-founder and senior vice president of new products for W3i, a 100-employee distribution and monetization network for app developers based in St. Cloud, said he's noticed some of his younger workers seem to find the harassment-training video every new employee must watch to be a waste of time.
"Their attitude is, why can't we all just be held accountable for our actions?" he said. "Our more experienced workers know it's something every company has to do."
While several W3i employees said harassment is a serious concern, they admitted they didn't spend a lot of time thinking about it because they're more familiar with their rights, in part because training has become rote throughout the working world.
"It's not on our minds, but we're aware of what it is and what the consequences are," said Julie Karkela, 22.
Mark Weinmann, 25, recalls first learning of the issue when he had to watch "an awful video" when he got his first job while in high school.
"It's a generational thing," he said. "Our grandparents worked at a time when harassment was tolerated. Our parents taught us a little differently."
The biggest change Sepler has observed has more to do with technology than people.
"There's a prevalence of sexually explicit, offensive or pornographic images being sent around as e-mail attachments by people who assume they will be welcome," she said. "When someone gets offended, the sender is taken aback."
E-mails and other electronic records have also made it easier to avoid having to evaluate one person's word against another's.
"More often than not, there's a trail of e-mails and texts," she said.
Telling on the boss still tough
In Minnesota (a leader in making workplace harassment illegal, even before the Human Rights Act made it a federal crime), workplace sexual-harassment complaint tallies have remained constant since 2000, averaging about 11 percent of total workplace complaints. But nationally, charges of sexual harassment filed with rights agencies so far in 2011 total 8,341, a substantial drop from 13,867 in 2008, according to Equal Employment Opportunity Commission data combining federal, state and local numbers.
The decrease is due, in part, to less harassment occurring, companies becoming more effective in handling complaints internally and employees becoming more adept at addressing peer-to-peer harassment themselves, Sepler said. But, she added, there's a "hidden economy" of complaints that never make it out the office's front door.
Ninety percent of Sepler's cases are resolved off the books, she said: "Employers are getting better at responding promptly so they don't turn into legal claims."
At least one thing hasn't changed much: How the power dynamic affects a victim's willingness to come forward.
Employees are still reluctant to speak up when the harassment comes from a superior, especially during a recession, she said:
"People are waiting longer to complain in this economy, or not complaining at all, because they don't want to risk the possibility they'll have to find a new job."
Asked if they'd be reluctant to report a superior for making the kind of blatant advances Herman Cain is accused of, the young group from W3i said they would not.
"I feel like there are enough controls in place, enough checks and balances, that people don't get let go for that kind of whistleblowing," Weinmann said.
Marking progress
Melissa Kron, human resources director for W3i, identified another trend -- being more inclusive of other types of harassment in company training.
"Companies in general don't call it sexual harassment training anymore," Kron said. "We define it much more broadly to include harassment in any form."
Rebecca Roloff, CEO of the Minneapolis YWCA, first entered the workforce in 1967 and has been employed by major corporations as well as in the nonprofit world. "When I think back, there was a certain naiveté of what a healthy workplace was," Roloff said. "Many of us working women had mothers who did not work outside of the home so we didn't know what to expect. It's clearly less acceptable now than it was when I began my career, and I do think there is less of it going on."
Although one-fourth of working women in the new poll reported having been harassed on the job, that figure was one-third 20 years ago. The 25 percent of men in the early 1990s who said they may have done or said something inappropriate to female co-workers has dropped to just 10 percent.
"We're much more certain about what we have a right to object to today," Sepler said.

Схема разъёма usb
Распиновка USB. Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a specification to establish communication between devices and a host controller (usually personal computer). Nowdays USB has replaced a variety of earlier PC interfaces (such as RS-232 serial or parallel port). Due to the ability to supply power to the preipheral devices USB is often used as a power charger for portable devices. An USB system architecture consists of a host controller, a USB ports, and multiple connected devices. Additional USB hubs may be included allowing branching into a tree structure with up to five tier levels. USB can connect computer peripherals such as mice, keyboards, digital cameras, PDA, mobile phones, printers, personal media players, flash drives, GPS, Network Adapters, and external hard drives. For many of those devices, USB has become the standard connection method. USB interface aimed to remove the need for adding expansion cards into the computer's PCI or PCI-Express bus, and improve plug-and-play capabilities by allowing devices to be hot swapped or added to the system without rebooting the computer. The USB Pinout: USB connectors. There are several types of USB connectors. The connector mounted on the host or device is called the receptacle, and the connector attached to the cable is called the plug. The original USB specification detailed Standard-A and Standard-B plugs and receptacles. Nowdays there are 7 USB connectors known: Standard-A, Standard-B, Mini-A, Mini-B , Micro-A, Micro-AB, Micro-B. Mini-USB pinout and Micro-USB pinout are slightly different: standard USB uses 4 pins while Mini-USB and Micro-USB uses 5 pins in connector. The additional pin is used as an attached device presence indicator. USB pinout signals. USB is a serial bus. It uses 4 shielded wires: two for power (+5v & GND) and two for differential data signals (labelled as D+ and D- in pinout). NRZI (Non Return to Zero Invert) encoding scheme used to send data with a sync field to synchronise the host and receiver clocks. In USB data cable Data+ and Data- signals are transmitted on a twisted pair. No termination needed. Half-duplex differential signaling helps to combat the effects of electromagnetic noise on longer lines. Contrary to popular belief, D+ and D- operate together; they are not separate simplex connections. USB 2.0 provides for a maximum cable length of 5 meters for devices running at Hi Speed. USB transfer modes. Univeral serial bus supports Control, Interrupt, Bulk and Isochronous transfer modes. USB interfaces: USB 1.0, USB 2.0, USB 3.0. There are three USB versions known nowdays: USB 1.0. released in 1996. Specifies data rates of 1.5 Mbit/s (Low-Bandwidth, is mostly used for Human Input Devices (HID) such as keyboards, mouses, joysticks and often the buttons on higher speed devices such as printers or scanners) and 12 Mbit/s (Full-Bandwidth). nowadays is still used used by some devices that don't need faster data transfer rates. USB 2.0. released in 2000 in addition to USB 1.0 adds signaling rate of 480 Mbit/s (Hi-Speed) compatible with USB 1.0, but some hardware designed for USB 2.0 may not work with USB 1.0 host controllers. USB 3.0. released in 2008 added transmission rates up to 5 Gbit/s (SuperSpeed) USB 1.0 and USB 2.0 shares same connector pinout, USB 3.0 pinout features new connectors. A USB device must indicate its speed by pulling either the D+ or D- line high to 3.3 volts. These pull up resistors at the device end will also be used by the host or hub to detect the presence of a device connected to its port. Without a pull up resistor, USB assumes there is nothing connected to the bus. In order to help user to identify maximum speed of device, a USB device often specifies its speed on its cover with one of the USB special marketing logos. When the new device first plugs in, the host enumerates it and loads the device driver necessary to run it. The loading of the appropriate driver is done using a PID/VID (Product ID/Vendor ID) combination supplied by attached hardware. The USB host controllers has their own specifications: UHCI (Universal Host Controller Interface), OHCI (Open Host Controller Interface) with USB 1.1, EHCI (Enhanced Host Controller Interface) is used with USB 2.0. USB powered devices. The USB connector provides a single 5 volt wire from which connected USB devices may power themselves. A given segment of the bus is specified to deliver up to 500 mA. This is often enough to power several devices, although this budget must be shared among all devices downstream of an unpowered hub. A bus-powered device may use as much of that power as allowed by the port it is plugged into. Bus-powered hubs can continue to distribute the bus provided power to connected devices but the USB specification only allows for a single level of bus-powered devices from a bus-powered hub. This disallows connection of a bus-powered hub to another bus-powered hub. Many hubs include external power supplies which will power devices connected through them without taking power from the bus. Devices that need more than 500 mA or higher than 5 volts must provide their own power. When USB devices (including hubs) are first connected they are interrogated by the host controller, which enquires of each their maximum power requirements. However, seems that any load connected to USB port may be treated by operating system as device. The host operating system typically keeps track of the power requirements of the USB network and may warn the computer's operator when a given segment requires more power than is available and may shut down devices in order to keep power consumption within the available resource. USB power usage: Bus-powered hubs: Draw Max 100 mA at power up and 500 mA normally. Self-powered hubs: Draw Max 100 mA, must supply 500 mA to each port. Low power, bus-powered functions: Draw Max 100 mA. High power, bus-powered functions: Self-powered hubs: Draw Max 100 mA, must supply 500 mA to each port. Self-powered functions: Draw Max 100 mA. A simple USB charger should incorporate 200 Ohm resistor between D+ and D- wires (sometimes shortcircuit D+ and D- together is enough). The device will then not attempt to transmit or receive data, but can draw up to 1.8A, if the supply can provide it. USB voltage: Supplied voltage by a host or a powered hub ports is between 4.75 V and 5.25 V. Maximum voltage drop for bus-powered hubs is 0.35 V from its host or hub to the hubs output port. All hubs and functions must be able to send configuration data at 4.4 V, but only low-power functions need to be working at this voltage. Normal operational voltage for functions is minimum 4.75 V. USB cable shielding: Shield should only be connected to Ground at the host. No device should connect Shield to Ground.

Danica 'definitely one of the guys,' teammate Tony Stewart says
NASCAR veteran Tony Stewart has been around Danica Patrick for more than a year now, and he's learned quite a bit about his unique teammate.
Stewart, a grizzled veteran and one of NASCAR's most colorful characters, says that Patrick, the sport's biggest female star, is "one of the guys."
"She is definitely one of the guys," Stewart said during a recent video chat for the Coca-Cola Racing Family. "Physically, she is not one of the guys, but mentally and her demeanor, not only with the crew but with Ryan and I as teammates, ... There are times and settings where she has that girly side of her, but there are a lot of times when there is this little cute girl sitting there and you are having a conversation and you're like, did she just say that?
"It's hard to embarrass me but she is one of the few people who in the course of a conversation can embarrass me by something she says."

Stewart, who is the co-owner of Patrick's Stewart-Haas Racing team, says she does a good job getting along with her all-male crew.
"She does a really good job," he said. "... Being a female in a male-dominated sport, she has the ability to come in there and make everybody around her feel comfortable versus her trying to fit in. She makes them feel comfortable being around her. Everybody just relaxes around her."

Getting old
Written on Thursday, January 31, 2008 by Jessica
I hate the fact that I have to stop and think now to remember how old I am. I'm reduced to counting decades on my fingers. I guess I should be happy that I still remember what year I was born, which allows me to do the calculation. If I come to a point where I don't even remember the year, I should just toss in the towel, right?If you enjoyed this post Subscribe to our feed

ICDL calls for government participation
The IT literacy group campaigns for support from the private sector to reduce unemployment among GCC nationals.
ICDL GCC Foundation, the governing body of the International Computer Driving Licence (ICDL) programme in the Gulf States, has called for increased investment in IT literacy programmes across the GCC states, to help enhance the employment prospects of Nationals in the private sector.
Despite the fact that intra-regional economic growth is being witnessed by all Gulf States, unemployment among GCC nationals remains to be a serious problem. The job market situation in the GCC region as a whole is characterised by the fact that the majority of jobs in the private sector are taken by expatriates who make up 30% of the region's population. According to the Gulf Economic Report, 7.5 million expatriates are currently employed in the GCC.
The low percentage of UAE Nationals employed in the private sector, especially where good working conditions and strong career prospects exist, is an alarming concern for governments. According to the National Human Resource Development and Employment Authority's (Tanmia) HR Report 2005, the proposition of UAE Nationals in the private sector has remained constant at 1995 levels of less than two per cent.
"The role played by governments in job creation has become somewhat limited. There are not enough government jobs created to accommodate the increasing national workforce. Job creation in the private sector is the solution to the unemployment problem facing the region. Obviously GCC nationals are not being absorbed by the private sector because their skills do not match the needs of private sector employers", says Jamil Ezzo, director general, ICDL GCC Foundation.
While each GCC State is committed to providing jobs to their citizens, the market scenario favours the expatriate labour force due to a variety of factors, including wage expectations and higher qualifications.
As the information age will create more demand for people with IT skills, the focus of all campaigns for nationalisation of jobs should be on IT literacy, according to Ezzo. "In order to achieve effective implementation of a job localization policy within the private sector, a proactive approach in skills development is crucial. The lack of compatible skills with the rapidly changing demands of the private sector could provide a serious setback to the nationalisation of jobs in the region, in view of the strong domination of the job market by expatriates," he says.
As computer literacy rates are relatively low in the GCC when compared to the developed countries, it is important to integrate computer skills in the education system, as well as provide greater opportunities for acquiring higher IT skills during and after the college and university education.
Technology has affected nearly every type of work. Workers across a broad range of occupations in today's job market require high-level of generic knowledge and technical skills, as well as the ability to adapt to new technology implementations.
Moreover, both academicians and policy makers need to work hand-in-hand on human resource development and educational planning. For educational planning to be instrumental in the achievement of economic goals, it must be geared to meet the demand for required skills in specific industrialisation programmes.
Several GCC Member States have implemented or are in the process of implementing the ICDL IT literacy programme and made mandatory for government employees, teachers and students.
As the GCC States' economies are diversifying rapidly beyond the traditional oil resource, the national workforce must be equipped with the right mix of skills to support the dynamics of the job market. "The region has a historic opportunity to take advantage of the current economic boom to invest in a skilled workforce that matches the demand of the private sector. Growing evidence shows direct links between economic growth and investment in human capital", Ezzo concludes.

The last wild Corypha taliera has started to flower and will now die
Corypha taliera is a solitary, massive, moderately slow growing, monoecious palm with a hapaxanthic or monocarpic mode of growth where the plant dies after setting seed. The palm grows for say 80 years without producing a flower, then upon coming of age the flower grows out of the top of the tree, the leaves die and fall off leaving a massive terminal panicle flower atop the massive trunk. C. taliera holds two world records which it shares with Corypha umbraculifera, the largest flower structure among flowering plants and the largest palmate leaf which is 6 m. (20 ft.) wide.
Although the palm in the scrub jungle on the Dhaka University campus is the last known Corypha taliera growing in the wild, the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) has already classified the plant on its Red List, as being "extinct in the wild". This is because molecular work – which is required to confirm the identification – still hasn't been taken out on the plant. Until molecular work is carried out, they will only say that this plant has been "tentatively identified". Also, IUCN say that it's unclear about whether or not the specimen originated from cultivated material. They also mention that the plant is effectively in a "cultivated state", and therefore probably wouldn't count towards the "wild" classification. Although not in the wild, Corypha taliera specimens are currently growing in the Indian Botanic Garden and the Fairchild Tropical Garden in Florida, USA. Because these aren't growing in the natural environment, they don't count for "wild" plants hence the IUCN classification "Extinct in the Wild".
No other specimen of Corypha taliera palm has been found in the wild in almost 30 years. In 1979, a C. taliera, located in the Birbhum district of West Bengal in a village near Shantiniketan, had begun flowering. The locals fearing that it was a "ghost palmyra palm" Borassus flabellifer, due to its horn-like flowers, chopped it down before the flower could set seed.
But all is not lost. This news that it is dying is good news
This is not the last Corypha taliera palm tree in existence, it is merely the last in a wild state. There are several trees still remaining at the Adward Park, Bogra, Bangladesh, and also Howrah botanic garden in India. A cultivated specimen in Howrah botanic garden ultimately flowered and its seeds were saved and raised to seedlings with some sent to the Fairchild Tropical Garden, Florida, USA. These plants are now quite large and will flower in about 80 years.
Our tree at the Dhaka University campus will ultimately produce millions of golf-ball sized seeds, which will rain down for months. These seeds will be raised into new trees. We now have good hopes of increasing the population and re-planting back into the wild. Talks are undergoing, but it currently looks like none of these seeds will be distributed abroad, and all will be planted in its native land.

Mom still refuses to come down here and after I broached the subject of humidity being a lame excuse, she came forth with a few more details of why she doesn't want to visit "down here".
When I quizzed her, she said that she knew people who wouldn't even ride through some of the southern states to get to another location. Apparently they would rather go hundreds of miles out of their way rather than risk riding through the cradle of racial inequality. It's obvious that she's been convinced by somebody that the state song for all southern states is Dueling Banjos straight out of Deliverance and that all the citizens are snuff spitting backwards inbreds.
This is very insulting to me (as well as the area) as I've been telling her how much we enjoyed our time here and how many wonderful friends we have made. Has she been secretly harboring thoughts that our family was being joyfully recruited into one of the racial hate groups? Maybe she really doesn't feel like hopping on a plane and flying into Memphis and seeing the Home of the Blues up close and personal and doesn't want to tell me. That would certainly make a lot more sense than the garbage that she's spewing.
I have seen just as much racial bias in the northern reaches of this great land as I have in the southern areas. But, you know what? I have not seen much....PERIOD! People of all colors and races are hating crime and drugs and terrorism, etc. but very rarely each other! At least in the circles where I am.
On that subject, mom needs to get that racial bias can be all colors. I was floored when I watched Queen Latifah's movie Beauty Shop with Alicia Silverstone and Kevin Bacon. The racism coming from the characters of color was shocking and unpleasant. The whites in the movie were reduced to uncool social misfits or stereotypes and some of the racial slurs coming from the African Americans would NEVER have been tolerated coming from white people. In fact, most white people I know wouldn't lower themselves to that level. I love Queen, but EVERYBODY needs to can the hate!
HEY EVERYBODY! Please Can the Racial Slurs and Hate.

There's a program exclusive to Wisconsin and Mississippi called "Project Self Help and Awareness" (PSA). It's more than forty years old, and it's been "curing" racism between blacks and whites for years now, starting with kids. I wrote an article for Wisconsin Trails Magazine about it that just came out yesterday - it's not online yet, but if you give me your mailing address I'll send you a hard copy. It's pretty amazing stuff.
You could show your mom...

In an interview with GQ, GOP Senator, and 2016 presidential candidate wannabe, Marco Rubio, who has a history of being factually challenged, says he don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' earth babies:
GQ: How old do you think the Earth is?
Marco Rubio: I'm not a scientist, man. I can tell you what recorded history says, I can tell you what the Bible says, but I think that's a dispute amongst theologians and I think it has nothing to do with the gross domestic product or economic growth of the United States. I think the age of the universe has zero to do with how our economy is going to grow. I'm not a scientist. I don't think I'm qualified to answer a question like that. At the end of the day, I think there are multiple theories out there on how the universe was created and I think this is a country where people should have the opportunity to teach them all. I think parents should be able to teach their kids what their faith says, what science says. Whether the Earth was created in 7 days, or 7 actual eras, I'm not sure we'll ever be able to answer that. It's one of the great mysteries.
Uh, no it's really not, man.
And it's pretty easy to find out. Here, try for yourself. Go to Google. Type in "how old is the earth?" And it takes Google all of .3 seconds to tell you:
It's not that difficult and you don't need to be a scientist.
Of course, Marco Rubio knows that. But he's too busy sucking up to the "the ancient Egyptians had dinosaurs as pets" crowd to worry about the truth. Keep in mind that 1/3 of Texans, for example, think that dinosaurs and humans lived together.
These folks even believe that Noah had dinosaurs on the ark (that's a good, T-Rex):
The idea of millions of years of evolution is just the evolutionists' story about the past. No scientist was there to see the dinosaurs live through this supposed dinosaur age. In fact, there is no proof whatsoever that the world and its fossil layers are millions of years old. No scientist observed dinosaurs die.
[D]inosaurs must have lived within the past thousands of years….
Evolutionists declare that no man ever lived alongside dinosaurs. The Bible, however, makes it plain that dinosaurs and people must have lived together. Actually, as we will soon see, there is a lot of evidence for this….
Some people think that dinosaurs were too big, or there were too many of them, to go on this Ark. However, there were not very many different kinds of dinosaurs. There are certainly hundreds of dinosaur names, but many of these were given to just a bit of bone or skeletons of the same dinosaur found in other countries.
Yeah, some pretty big MoFo bones, bucko.
Burt remember class, according to these folks, kids used to hang out with velociraptors. Really. Who can forget this little image from the infamous Creationist Museum:
And here's a video of the Rubio kids in science class:
I hope Marco Rubio's kids are competing against some Blue State kids some day to get into Harvard. And let them write that dinosaur garbage on their SATs and see how far it gets them. They'll all end up going to Jerry Falwell U, where they'll learn that 2+2 equals whatever God wants it to.
