Well folks, it was only a matter of time before Ryan Gosling infiltrated every aspect of our lives (not that we're complaining). Hanksy, who draws his inspiration from the famed street artist Banksy but inserts Tom Hanks' head into all of his works, has found a new muse — the "Hey Girl"-ing object of our desires.
That's right, the Drive-Thru (ha!) Gosling has surfaced along with two other pieces featuring Ted Danson and our sweater idol Bill Cosby. Seems like Hanksy is taking a break from his Hanks theme — although you can check out his original pieces at the Krause Gallery in New York City. What do you think of this new, street art take on Gosling's adorable face? Let us know in the comments section below!

A clampdown on movement of workers, tighter regulations, major skill shortages… Brexit carries a number of potentially troublesome repercussions for business.
Concerns apply to both permanent and contingent workers employed by UK-based companies. All elements of business—human resources and procurement, in particular—must adapt to coming changes. But a few steps can be taken to help smooth the transition.

Ok so i'm going to Elbrus this year and am about to purchase a duffel, the only thing is I don't know what to get. Brand and Size. im looking at the First Ascent 80L and the North Face Base Camp 90L. I know both are large but if I don't get something 70cm or longer then where do I put my ixe axe? (70cm).
So my qeustion is when yo uguys go on an expedition, where do you store your axe? In your duffel? In qhich case ill need to go a large of 70cm or longer. If not I can easily get the smaller ones.
To make matters worse im also doing this trip as a part of a 4 week vacation so ill have a normal 70L backpack as well + a day bag. So the duffel will be a third bag, obviously the smaller the better.. but the ixe axe situation is my only show stopper.
any thoughts? suggestions?
cheers guys

I spent most of my life as a single mom, working long hours and not seeing my kids. My work has finally paid off, and I'm at a point where, while not rich, I can support my daughter and grandbabies.
The problem is the baby daddy. He has a history of drug abuse, theft and jail time. He works only part-time jobs, which he loses monthly. He gives my daughter nothing and treats her as if she owes him.
I don't want to support him, but he has moved in and won't leave my house. I have told him to go, that he's welcome to visit the kids, but he ignores me. It's like talking to a wall. He won't even acknowledge that I told him to leave. He acts like he's king of the castle when it's my home! I can't take it anymore. I pay all the bills.
I told my daughter, and she ignores me as well. My oldest son has offered to talk to them for me. I don't want to lose my grandbabies. They are my purpose in life. Please help. — Furious in Pennsylvania
Part of your problem may be the degree to which you enable your daughter. You won't be around forever. She needs to learn to be independent so she can support herself and those children. Clearly, Baby Daddy isn't man enough to be of any assistance.
If he has lived with you for a while, you may need a lawyer to get him out. According to Los Angeles attorney Lee Dresie: "You can get rid of the freeloader by giving him a 30-day 'notice to leave' in writing. It should say, 'You have 30 days to leave my home. If you don't, I will bring an action to evict you.' If he still refuses to go, consult an attorney who specializes in eviction law."
This is Abby again: Be sure you have a witness present when the notice is given so Baby Daddy can't deny receiving it. Your son could be that witness, and yes, he should be asked to lead the discussion on how to resolve this situation.
It is also troubling that the daughter for whom you provide food and shelter is ignoring you. You're treated this way because you don't assert yourself. Please do it before Baby Daddy impregnates her again and you have four people to support.Help for sweaty hands
DEAR ABBY: I'm 27 and have an issue that has bothered me for most of my life. I have overly hot/sweaty hands and feet. When I was dating women, they wouldn't want to hold my hand, which bothered me a lot. Also, my friends sometimes make fun of me for it.
I am entering a profession that will require lots of handshaking with potential clients. This will be an issue for me because I don't want to make a bad impression. Do you have any suggestions? — Sweaty in North Dakota
Yes! There is help for your problem, and the way to get it is to talk with a dermatologist. There is a product that can curb the excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), but a doctor must prescribe it for you. Botox injections could also help, but they should be administered by a physician. There is also a machine used to treat this condition. The dermatologist can help you decide which solution would be the best for you.

t_SNAREHelical region found in SNAREs
|SMART accession number:
|All alpha-helical motifs that form twisted and parallel four-helix bundles in target soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF) attachment protein (SNAP) receptor proteins. This motif found in "Q-SNAREs".
|Interpro abstract (IPR000727):
The process of vesicular fusion with target membranes depends on a set of SNAREs (SNAP-Receptors), which are associated with the fusing membranes [(PUBMED:9239749), (PUBMED:9232812)]. Target SNAREs (t-SNAREs) are localised on the target membrane and belong to two different families, the syntaxin-like family and the SNAP-25 like family. One member of each family, together with a v-SNARE localised on the vesicular membrane, are required for fusion.
The Syntaxins are type-I transmembrane proteins that contain several regions with coiled-coil propensity in their cytosolic part, the SNARE motif. SNAP-25 (IPR000928) is a protein consisting of two coiled-coil regions, which is associated with the membrane by lipid anchors. SNARE motifs assemble into parallel four helix bundles stabilised by the burial of these hydrophobic helix faces in the bundle core. Monomeric SNARE motifs are disordered so this assembly reaction is accompanied by a dramatic increase in alpha-helical secondary structure [(PUBMED:14570579)]. The parallel arrangement of SNARE motifs within complexes bring the transmembrane anchors, and the two membranes, into close proximity. Recently, it was shown that the two coiled-coil regions of SNAP-25 and one of the coiled-coil regions of the syntaxins are related [(PUBMED:9096343)]. This domain is found in both Syntaxin and SNAP-25 families as well as in other proteins.
|GO function:
|protein binding (GO:0005515)
|Family alignment:
There are 6236 t_SNARE domains in 5422 proteins in SMART's nrdb database.

DENVER—The Colorado House passed a $23 billion budget that increases funding to schools, colleges, and the state's savings for a rainy day.
The budget received unanimous support from Democrats, but it was decried by most Republicans. Only the Republican member of the budget-writing Joint Budget Committee voted in favor of the spending plan Friday.
The budget adds $100 million to colleges for financial aid and to limit tuition increases. Per-student spending at public schools is also increasing to keep up with inflation and enrollment growth. Meanwhile, the state's budget reserves are being increased to 6.5 percent, up from 5 percent.
Republicans criticized Democrats for not accepting amendments to increase funding for road and bridge repair and add more funding for colleges.
The Senate will consider the budget next week.

What people say about this KitchenAid KSM150PSER Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Empire Red?
I LOVE this mixer!
I got this mixer for Christmas last year, and I absolutely love it!
The first thing that's great about it is how stylish it is, and how great it looks on my counter. Everyone who comes to my apartment always comments on how beautiful it is, and I've found myself buying other kitchen gadgets to match it.
The second thing that's really great is how solid, heavy, and well made this thing is. It sits firmly on the counter and tears through most things I've mixed in it easily. It does tend to "walk" around a bit when kneading bread dough, but that just requires keeping an eye on it. Even the bowl, paddle, whisk and dough hook are heavy and solid. I was also impressed with the KitchenAid warranty and reputation.
Now, the really important thing – the exceptionally great job this thing does mixing. So far I've used it to make many batches of cookies, and loaves of bread (it's got the capacity for two sandwich sized loaves at a time – any more than that and I…

Debunking The 'But People Just Want Stuff For Free' Myth
from the debunking-the-myths dept
Cory Doctorow now adds to the evidence pile, writing about the results of his recent experiment in self-publishing with tiered offerings, which included 250 specially bound limited edition hardcover versions for $250. In his latest update, he explains how those were so popular he's going back to create similar limited editions for older books as well:
You see, in trying everything--audiobooks, POD, limited editions--I've discovered the thing that captures the public's interest is also the thing that makes the most money is also the thing that has the least logistics: super-premium limited editions. Over and over again, when I describe With a Little Help to people, they fixate on the limited editions. I've had dozens of e-mails from people practically begging to buy the $275 editions I'm doing--and I stand to make $50,000 or more from them.But people just want stuff for free, right? Especially the folks who follow the likes of Cory Doctorow... Except, of course, that's simply not true.
So that's my next project, I've decided, after With a Little Help is done and I'm back on my feet: limited editions, 100 copies each, of all my previous novels, each one elaborate, personal, beautiful, and amazing. It helps that my new office is underneath the London Hackspace, a co-op through which I have 24/7 access to a 3D printer and a laser cutter/etcher.
For my novel Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves a Town (a fantasy that features a trio of brothers who nest like Russian dolls), I'm thinking I will do a full-size edition, bind it, then laser cut a 66% rectangle out of the middle of the pages; print and bind a 2/3 size miniature, slip it into the void; and then cut another void out of it, nestling a tiny quarter-sized hardcover in the middle. I'll charge whatever it costs me to print plus $150, and print and bind them on demand, in tens, and sell as many as I can up to 100. I also figure I'll hold back five copies from each limited, and in a decade or so, I can have custom wooden boxes made for five sets, and auction them off for whatever the market will bear.

Birthday Pancakes! - aka Bob's Red Mill Pancake Mix (gluten free)
In honor of her special triple-double-double digit day, we made gluten free pancakes this morning. Now, you gluten eaters stay with me, since this is basically a review of a pancake mix.
Gluten free products have taken off lately, almost in fad like fashion, and that's fine with me since we follow a gluten free diet because of my daughter's wheat intolerance. Yep, I said intolerance. For most people following a gluten free diet, the condition they deal with is an intolerance NOT an allergy. Stomach aches, indigestion, bloating, headaches, skin issues, feeling blah ... it's not fun. We can chat about that another time. Today's recipe IS fun, and really quite delicious, too!
While I prefer to make stuff from scratch, this mix is uber convenient especially since I've not dived into making my own gluten free mixes (will be doing that soon). Since this is a pre-made mix, only a few additional ingredients are required: an egg, milk (we used part milk/part buttermilk), and oil. Wisk it all together, and you're good to go.
This mix gets two birthday thumbs up in our household. I can totally see me bringing this camping or travelling, as it's so easy to make. And, for those of you who have gluten-free eating loved ones, this would make a great gift pack especially for someone new to the whole gluten-free thing. It made a wonderful birthday breakfast here. Along with a pint of whipped cream. And an orchard of berries. Just kidding. Well, not really, but you know what I mean.
What do you like to eat for breakfast on your birthday?

Happy Birthday, Little Miss! I knew it was coming, although wasn't certain of the exact date. Glad you got pancakes. I hope your Mama makes you one of those flourless chocolate jelly-roll type cakes I showed her last year.
And using the rules of phonics, your spelling of "freckly" would be right, as you already knew: drop the silent e before adding the y. Yes, I'm a nerd, too. And so I appreciated your age-time confluence!
Have a lovely Memorial Day weekend, all of you fun loving Goudas! (Um, when did you become cheeses, anyway?)

Happy Birthday!!! Now Mom make a gluten free birthday cake. I've tried and tried and have one recipe I like, but maybe you will come up with one better. :)
Bob's Red Mill is the best for pancakes.
Now my goal is to learn to make gluten free pie crusts. Wish me luck.

Belated Happy Birthday, 11 year old Poppet.
I love pancakes. My dear Mother asked me what a wanted for my 5th birthday many a year ago - I replied "pancakes and jelly (jello)". The neighbouring children came expecting a party but, no - pancakes and jelly (each served separately) it was!
Here I've come across a gluten free pancake mix that is based on buckwheat. I don't need food to be gluten free however high fibre is an issue and I love this buckwheat mix (as do the innards). Now I'm experimenting with it for waffles for a Work breakfast in September.

The International Agri-Center announced that the Sons of the San Joaquin will perform at the 20th annual California Antique Farm Equipment Show (CAFES) held April 20-22, 2012 in Tulare, Calif. Tickets for the evening may be purchased online at www.AntiqueFarmShow.org for $30 and include a barbecued steak dinner.
The Western harmony of the Sons of the San Joaquin is a rich, burnished vocal blend which has carried the Hannah family from local church and community gatherings to Switzerland, Japan and the Arab peninsula. The group's dedication to Western heritage has its origin in their deep attachment to the classic sounds of The Sons of the Pioneers-a trio which included Roy Rogers. The Sons of the San Joaquin's sound first took shape when the family migrated to California's Central Valley from Missouri during the Depression.
The 20th annual California Antique Farm Equipment Show will showcase the agriculture industry's heritage. The show features 900 exhibitors from throughout California and the United States who make the trek to Tulare to display their antique tractors, engines and other antique farm equipment.
CAFES is one of California's largest gatherings of antique farm equipment. The show features an antique equipment parade; antique tractor pull; children's activities; arts and crafts pavilion; swap meet; annual rib cook-off and entertainment for all ages.
General admission to the antique show is $8 a day (children 12 and under are free). Gates open at 8:00 a.m. and close at 5:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday. For more information, visit www.AntiqueFarmShow.org or call 800-999-9186.

Roger Clemens' appearance before Congress not only may have failed to clear his name, it might also have led to more trouble.New York Times:
A Congressional committee has taken the first steps toward asking the Department of Justice to launch a criminal investigation into whether Roger Clemens committed perjury during testimony about his use of performance-enhancing drugs, according to three lawyers familiar with the matter.
A draft letter referring Clemens, but not his accuser, Brian McNamee, had been drawn up by staff members for the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform by the end of last week, according to two of the lawyers. However, all three lawyers, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly on the matter, said it was possible that McNamee could also be included in the referral by the time it is sent to the Justice Department.

A big announcement from Michelle Knight.
The kidnapping survivor has signed a book deal. Knight says she plans to tell her full story about her experience being held in captivity for more than 11 years by convicted kidnapper Ariel Castro.
Knight's book doesn't have a title yet, but she expects it to be ready for release in the spring.
Survivors Gina DeJesus and Amanda Berry have also signed a book deal to tell their story with Mary Jordan, a Pulitzer Prize winner and a former Clevelander.
Castro was sentenced to life, plus 1,000 years, for kidnapping and sexually assaulting Berry, Knight and DeJesus while holding them captive in his Seymour Avenue house for over a decade.
Castro used a bed sheet to hang himself in his cell at the Correctional Reception Center in Orient, Pickaway County, on September 3. He had been there one month.

South Carolina ranks second only to California in peach production and McCleod Farms in McBee, S.C., combines high technology and four generations of know how and family involvement to be among the biggest and best peach operations in the state.
Owned and operated by Kemp and Gay McCleod, their No. 1 product, Mac's Pride peaches, are shipped all over the U.S.
McCleod farms doesn't stop at peaches, they have a large corn, wheat, soybean and rye row crop operation and a thriving peach-centered store that is rapidly becoming a tourist attraction for people headed to South Carolina's beaches.
In addition to their peach and row crop operation, the McCleods grow strawberries, red potatoes, cabbage, sweet corn, squash, onions, bell pepper, okra, tomatoes, peas, pumpkins, turnips, egg plants and other produce that is sold in their roadside market.
At the center of the operation are peaches — lots of peaches. Kemp McCleod is a fourth generation peach farmer, with a lifelong history of peach production and a keen eye for marketing. Located on a major route from heavily populated areas in North Carolina to South Carolina's beaches, McCleod Farms is a popular stop for beach goers.
During peak peach season, McCleod's pack house employs 125 workers and often runs six days a week and 10-12 hours a day. They routinely pack out 1,000 to 1,400 pounds of peaches per day and have packed over 2,000 pounds a day.
While labor is an overwhelming problem for many fruit and vegetable growers, for the McCleods migrant workers are a yearly part of the family. They have high quality on-farm residences for male and female workers, even for families. All their labor, Gay McCleod stresses, is legal. Many are from the same state in Mexico and all come back year after year to pick and process the peach crop.
All the peaches are packed and coded with barcodes. The high tech operation allows for tracking peaches from the tree to the store. Should problems arise with any of their peaches that are shipped all over the country, they can track the problem back to a block of peach trees.
With over100,000 peach trees on 700 acres, production problems are routine. Using fiber jet emitters on a custom made irrigation system, the McCleods can pick peaches in the third year after planting. These trees stay in production 12-15 years.
Growing peaches in the sand hills of South Carolina is both a blessing and a curse. On the bad side, water goes straight down through the sandy soil to underground aquifers. On the good side, peaches don't like wet feet.
Though they can pump water on one peach farm at 1,800 feet per second and 1,500 feet per second on the other farm, keeping up with 110-112 degree heat indexes is tough, according to Dale Geddings, who manages irrigation and often oversees the packing house.
When peaches begin getting their color; they get water 2-3 times per week. In 2006, at times running 24 hours a day was not enough to keep up the intense heat and drought.
Though summer is the real action time for peaches, the season actually begins with pruning in late December. When peaches begin to bloom, some varieties are sprayed with Tergitol, a naturally occurring compound that helps with thinning. Most thinning is done by hand.
Slow release 4-0-8 or 7-0-7 fertilizer is applied to trees early in the year, followed by another application applied at bloom, and if needed, a third application is applied through the irrigation system.
During the bloom season, peaches are most vulnerable to cold weather. To combat freeze damage the McCleods use a system of windmills, with 30-foot propellers powered by 454 cubic inch Chevrolet engines that have been converted to propane. Bales of hay are burned on the periphery of peach orchards and the huge windmills circulate warm air throughout the orchard.
Using the windmills has helped them lose only one peach crop in the last 12 years. The magic numbers for freeze at McCleod Farms is 17 degrees F for a short period and 24 degrees F for 12 hours or more. The warm air from the windmills and burning hay prevents cold air and frost from settling on the bloom.
After escaping late spring freezes, a major concern is hail. To combat hail, the McCleods have installed a 'hail gun'. The hail gun saturates the air above the orchards with high decibel sound waves that break up hail storms. During high risk times, they closely monitor Doppler radar via a computer link. When conditions are right, they zap the air with ear-splitting sounds.
"The hail gun has saved us several times," says Gay McCleod. She notes that the gun can be moved from orchard to orchard, but is too bulky to do so more than one time a year. So, the cannon is strategically placed in the most vulnerable orchards. The same technology is also used to protect large greenhouses, car lots and assorted other high dollar crops and enterprises.
Commercial peach production in South Carolina dates from the 1860s, but today peaches are grown in three main areas of the state — the "Ridge", the "Coastal Plain" and the "Piedmont". The Ridge is in the south central area, the Coastal Plain runs along the eastern shore, and the Piedmont runs along the northwest region of the state.
There are over 200 million pounds of peaches harvested in South Carolina in a normal year. There are approximately 18,000 acres of peaches in the state. South Carolina ranks No. 2 in fresh peach production and interstate shipments. Georgia ranks No. 3 nationally in fresh production. (At one time, one county in South Carolina could produce more commercially-grown fresh peaches than the entire state of Georgia.)
South Carolina only has about 10 peach packing sheds left in the state. Each packing shed requires about 100 to 150 people to pack and ship peaches. That's at least 1,000 people in the community directly dependent on packing peaches. Add to that, those businesses which rely on service and supply, and the numbers of jobs and revenue increases significantly. By the end of the late 1930s, there were over 250 commercial peach packing plants in the Piedmont alone.
Truly a family affair, all the McCleod children work in the orchards, packing house or store. In the summer of 2006, daughter Amanda manages the quality control program and Rachel oversees packing of gift packs.

The Johnson County Commissioners will be holding a Special Meeting Wednesday, October 10th to rescind the county-wide fire ban that was enacted earlier this summer.
The commissioners enacted the fire ban on June 28th of this year in response to unusually warm and dry conditions which sparked numerous fires that cropped up in the county as well as the state and region, including the 25,000-plus acre Cato Fire east of Buffalo.
The commissioners are expected to rescind Resolution No. 459A, which implemented full fire restrictions in the county.
The meeting will be in the Commission Offices at 10am Wednesday upstairs in the Historic Courthouse.

ROWAN REVELS Indenture
Guys, especially Denise, I have had a wonderful breakthrough regarding Rowan Revels, my great-great grandmother like the ones I have enviously read on this board. A Blackwelder researcher emailed me with info about Rowan including a transcription of the court record of my ancestor's indenture to the Nelson Blackwelder family that I found her and her mother Clary living with in the 1850 census; at the time of the 1850 census, Rowan was 1 year old:
"Rowan, an infant free negro and child of Clara Revels was bound to Nelson Blackwelder to live as an apprentice until she arrives at the age of 18 years, the said Nelson Blackwelder covenanting to instruct her in the art and mystery of domestic affairs and to do all such other things as may be necessary in discharging of his duties towards her."
My last contact with this Blackwelder researcher was about three years ago (Hint, keep those email addresses current). Now I know how my ggrand started her life, I have yet to discover how her life ended after her marriage. I will send for a copy of the original record tomorrow. Rejoice with me?

The Central Connecticut swimming and diving team was voted to finish second this season in the Northeast Conference in the annual preseason coaches poll, the league announced Friday. The Blue Devils finished fourth in the conference last year.
CCSU ranked tied for second in the poll with four-time defending NEC Champion Saint Francis U., each squad earned two first-place votes.
The Blue Devils are returning 14 members of last year's squad, including NEC Diving Champion Jessica Goldman. Goldman placed first in both the 3-meter and 1-meter events at the 2013 NEC Championships as a freshman and earned NEC Diver of the Meet for her impressive performance. Goldman also broke both the 1-meter and 3-meter freshman records in her inaugural season.
In addition to her CCSU freshman records, Goldman also broke the previous NEC six-dive record of 248.40 set in 2011.
The Blue Devils return to the pool this weekend at the Sonny Werblin Invitational hosted by Rutgers University. The action kicks off at 4:15 p.m. and fans can follow the action via live stats.

text: Was trying this feature, if it works would be great, right now I'm running separate crons. In CP system > Server Config > my multi server webserver > Backups Selected a different backup directory, different hard drive Backup Mode: Backup web files owned by web user as zip 1. The web user directory gets created in above drive but only the database gz shows up. No zip file or website files. Because I followed the multi-server setup, don't recall any mention to unzip package, checking my server... this package is not installed. First question, guess I need to install unzip? any other packages to have the backups running properly? 2. Inside the /var/www/clients/client* the backup directory was also created but with no files. Should have the symlink pointing to the CP backups drive and dir or zip file. Could it be because I'm missing the zip file? 3. Would like to force 5 days of backups with daily frequency to all users. But after setting 5 days, the user client can change the setting in the website tab/backup to 10 days and other frequencies (overriding my setting)... Is this how it should be? Is there a way for force 5 days without the possibility of client override? 4. To finish, last question. Upon new website creation, is there a way to auto enable the backups with fixed daily frequency and 5 copies? for all future websites? Thanks

In June, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act. In its decision, however, the court invited a major new political battle over the act's requirement that Medicaid be expanded to cover up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level. The poverty level is adjusted annually for individuals and families of different sizes. For example, the 138 percent level in 2012 is $2,195 per month for a family of three. The court decided that the federal government could not make the Medicaid expansion mandatory, thus leaving it for state determination.
Shortly thereafter, a number of governors indicated that their states would not expand Medicaid, blaming increased costs. Many had long opposed the health care act. Because of the potential impact on the health of millions of Americans, this decision should be examined carefully.
To begin, it is important to understand the scope of this Medicaid expansion. Under current law, states can adjust the level of Medicaid eligibility according to family income, which is often far below the federal poverty level, and can change it for different groups.
The Affordable Care Act, however, proposes to raise the eligibility for everyone to 138 percent of the federal poverty level. The Urban Institute reports that 22.3 million uninsured people with income below 138 percent are potentially eligible for Medicaid if all states implement the expansion. Fifteen million (67 percent) are adults not currently eligible for Medicaid; 2.9 million (13 percent) are children who are currently eligible for Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program but not enrolled; and 4.3 million (13 percent) are eligible but unenrolled adults.
Under the A.C.A., the federal government assumes 100 percent of the Medicaid expansion costs in the first three years (2014-16) and then a declining percentage until it reaches a permanent floor of 90 percent in the year 2020. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the costs over its first nine years (2014-22) will involve 93 percent federal funding ($931 billion) and 7 percent state funding ($73 billion).
Even if fully implemented, it is estimated that the the increased payments will represent only 2.8 percent in overall Medicaid spending by states. Estimates of individual state costs vary, depending on how many eligible people already are insured, how many already and newly eligible people will actually enroll, how much current state health care expenses for uninsured people will be reduced when they are covered by Medicaid and so on.
Before states opt out of the expansion, a number of ethical, fiscal and political factors should be considered. The first is that this Medicaid expansion, by providing health care coverage for millions of our nation's poorest people, greatly advances the basic right to health care that is integral to the common good in developed societies. Not to do so, when the A.C.A. provides subsidies for those above the poverty line to purchase health insurance, would widen U.S. economic divides and further threaten the fabric of civil society.
Second, recent research reported in the New England Journal of Medicine comparing three states that substantially expanded Medicaid with neighboring states without expansions found that expansions to cover low-income adults were significantly associated with longer life expectancy and improved coverage, access to care and self-reported health.
Third, the federal share of expansion costs is far better than the federal-state split in traditional Medicaid. Even projected state costs are likely to be much less, offset by a number of factors: a substantial reduction in the costs of "uncompensated care"; improved preventive and regular health care to prevent more expensive treatments, which lowers overall costs; and a significant reduction in state costs for mental health services to the uninsured.
Fourth, Medicaid expansion makes economic sense. States spend billions of dollars in tax credits and other incentives to attract business and jobs, often without documented evidence of success. With the Medicaid expansion, a state can make an investment of millions that will bring in billions of dollars of new health care business, thereby increasing demand, services and good jobs.

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is characterized by profound tiredness, regardless of bed rest. Its symptoms may worsen with physical or mental activity. CFS can happen suddenly and last for years. The condition affects more females than males.
The cause of CFS is not known.
Because the cause of CFS is not known, it's hard to know what might put someone at risk for getting the condition. However, certain factors are seen more often in people with CFS. These factors include:
Symptoms of CFS often mimic the flu. The following are the most common symptoms of CFS. However, each person may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of CFS may look like other medical conditions. Always talk with your healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
CFS diagnosis depends on two criteria:
A specific treatment for CFS has yet to be proven effective. Vitamin supplements and medicines have some benefit. Many treatments just relieve the symptoms of CFS.
Treatment is determined by your healthcare provider and based on:
Treatment may include:
There is currently no cure for chronic fatigue syndrome. Dealing with the severe fatigue can be very challenging. It is important that you work with your healthcare provider to find treatments that help you. Some people find counseling or support groups helpful.
If your symptoms get worse or you have new symptoms, let your healthcare provider know.

Dear Editor;
Here in Iowa, we're good neighbors - and factory farms just aren't. They build without consideration for neighbors' quality of life, property values, or environment. That's why Iowa CCI members across the state are taking corporate ag giants like Cargill, Iowa Select and Prestage Farms to task.
An unprecedented expansion by these corporations across Iowa this year could lead to millions of gallons more of manure and raw feces. We need to take a stand. Governor Terry Branstad has appointed factory farm insiders like Brent Rastetter - who makes a living building factory farm barns and manure pits - to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPC), putting the fox in charge of the henhouse. Outgoing Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Director Roger Lande says Branstad will likely appoint former house majority leader Chuck Gipp to be Iowa's next top environmental regulator. Gipp spent most of his career to dismantle the DNR and now he's going to run the place? It's time to stand up and fight back.

TeamMets is a community volunteerism initiative that uses the interest in the Mets and their players to encourage fans to join the team in helping others. Members of the Mets front office donate their time to events during the year, working with organizations including City Harvest, Urban Dove and the Everybody Wins! Foundation. To spread the word, the Mets produced a series of public service announcements that promoted NYC Service, Mayor Bloomberg's volunteer initiative.
NYC Service oversees more than 38 innovative initiatives that aim to achieve three overarching goals: making our City the easiest place in the world to volunteer, targeting volunteers to address the city's greatest needs and promoting service as a core part of what it means to be a citizen of the greatest City in the world. NYC Service meets the Mayor's State of the City pledge for New York City to lead the way in answering President Obama's nationwide call to service primarily by using volunteerism to address the capacity gap at the local level.
A key focus of NYC Service is to heighten accountability within the field and to set a new standard for measuring the impact of volunteerism in addition to participation.
There are many levels of volunteerism, whether it's a visit to your local senior center, library or elementary school or joining one of the many non-profit service organizations located in New York City. NYC Service has more than 30 initiatives that need volunteers. To find out about the variety of ways in which you can serve, contact NYC Service at nyc.gov/service or by calling 311.

We are a networking group set up by 6 entrepreneurs in the south west of the UK. The group has expanded organically, and by referral, over the last 2.5 years to be several hundred people.
We meet three times per year and have gained sponsorship from within the network to support and sustain the event. Our online presence is managed through linkedin (http://www.linkedin.com/groups?most…gid=744577) and now meetup.com (http://www.meetup.com/Like-Minded-People/)
This means people who are entrepreneurs and people who are entrepreneurial
Entrepreneurs start up their own companies
People who are entrepreneurial may be running divisions of companies or perhaps partners in law firms
The lead characteristics are that the entrepreneurs are risk takers and also have incredible self belief. They also tend to share a restlesness with the world which is how they spot the opportunities and needs that others miss.
We want a Logo to use on the meetup.com site, the linkedin site and to print on our flyers, name badges and in meeting documents.
The current logo was picked a bit at random! Its not very clear and doesnt really carry much of a resonance with the group at present.
It is also something that is difficult to recognise from a distance.
We'd like the logo to really capture the energy and drive of entrepreneurs - people who take risks and start up enterprise with their own money, or risking their own futures to do so.
Key also is to reflect that the group is one of like minds - we find a unique peer group in the network where we can share the awkward questions about our businesses and challenges. We get advice and experience from people who we respect and who have no axe to grind when doing so.

You may wonder if sustainable houses designed, built, inhabited and then monitored step-by-step by professionals actually exist. The answer is yes. The EQuilibrium Housing Initiative is just that.
If you wish to learn and understand more about the sustainable housing industry – which is about to become fundamental in the fight against climate change – the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's (CMHC) initiative is for you.
The CMHC seeks to expand the construction of EQuilibrium houses across the country. Even if you're planning to buy an existing home, exploring an EQuilibrium house will give you the required knowledge to properly evaluate another home that some owners might try to sell you as sustainable.
The initiative exists since 2006. The EQuilibrium house is meant to serve as a model for sustainable living: safe and environmentally friendly materials, lower utility bills, renewable energies, conservation of our planet's limited resources, reduced environmental impact, greater comfort and cost-effective construction. And, believe it or not, as an added value, sustainable houses are a better investment than traditional homes. Continue reading

PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation is proud to announce that its chief program officer of science, Vicki Chandler, Ph.D., has been appointed to the National Science Board (NSB) by President Barack Obama. Dr. Chandler is one of six newly appointed members to the 25-member NSB, and will serve a six-year term on this critical body that recommends and advises the President and Congress on national policies for promoting research and education in science and engineering.
"Dr. Chandler is a superb choice for membership on the National Science Board. In her many leadership roles, she has developed a uniquely broad purview and expertise that will be invaluable for her service," said Bruce Alberts, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the University of California, San Francisco and board member of the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. "She is an outstanding plant molecular biologist who has long worked selflessly to maintain the health of the scientific enterprise. As the chief program officer of the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation's science program, Dr. Chandler has done a brilliant job of identifying underfunded areas of fundamental science where breakthroughs can be generated with additional research support and created methods that are effective in funding the very best individual scientists, all while encouraging new collaborations."
Dr. Chandler is the only member of the NSB from a private foundation. In her role at the Moore Foundation, she leads investments in the development of new technologies, supporting top research scientists and bringing together new, often groundbreaking scientific partnerships. The program's portfolio—designed to advance scientific innovation and discovery—includes the Marine Microbiology Initiative, a plant science collaboration with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the Data-Driven Discovery Initiative, a new Emergent Phenomena in Quantum Systems Initiative and commitments to the California Institute of Technology and Thirty Meter Telescope.
Dr. Chandler's research career focused on the epigenetic control of gene expression in plants and animals. Prior to joining the Moore Foundation, she was the founding director of the BIO5 Institute, an interdisciplinary center at the University of Arizona devoted to improving health and saving lives through innovative research efforts. She also served as Regent's professor, full professor in both the Molecular Cellular Biology and Plant Sciences Departments and was a member of the Interdisciplinary Program in Genetics. She began her academic career at the University of Oregon, where she worked for 12 years. In addition to her appointment to the NSB, Dr. Chandler currently serves as president of the Genetics Society of America, is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. She was also a Searle Scholar and Presidential Young Investigator and received a National Institutes of Health Director's Pioneer Award. Dr. Chandler studied biochemistry for her undergraduate and doctoral degrees at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of California, San Francisco, respectively, and performed her postdoctoral research at Stanford University.

Monsanto Wins Patent Dispute Against Farmer Who Bought Legal Seeds
from the patent-insanity dept
The details of this story are really quite incredible. The farmer, Vernan Bowman, bought official Monsanto seeds and planted his crops. Yet, Monsanto has rules that say you can't re-use "Roundup Ready" seeds, but you can apparently sell "second-generation" seeds to grain elevators for use as "commodity seeds," and doesn't require that there be any restriction on the sale. Bowman later bought a bunch of such "commodity seeds," which included some Roundup Ready seeds, and some that weren't. Bowman was able to determine which of the plants came from Roundup Ready seeds... and then saved those seeds for replanting. Monsanto claimed this was infringement, even though the seeds were legally sold to the grain elevator and then from the elevator to Bowman without restrictions. On top of that, while Bowman had signed an agreement for his original seeds, he did not with this batch (and, indeed, even Monsanto admits he didn't break the user agreement -- just patent infringement for using the seeds).
It's difficult to see how this is possibly infringement. In common patent law terms, the patent issue should be "exhausted." Setting aside the insanity of using patents to tell farmers they can't re-use their own seeds, once Monsanto has given farmers the rights to sell second-generation seeds to the grain elevators for resale with no restrictions, it's hard to see how Monsanto should have any subsequent patent claim on any further use of those seeds or their progeny. In fact, Bowman was so sure that he was doing absolutely nothing wrong, that he freely shared the details of what he did with people from Monsanto. But the court, as it seems to do with alarming frequency, seems to see no trouble with granting a patent holder significantly extended control.
Patent exhaustion is supposed to cover these situations. A few years ago, the Supreme Court, in the Quanta case, made it clear (or so we thought) that a legal sale of a licensed component "exhausts" the patent holder's rights to go after later buyers in the supply chain for infringement. Bowman correctly pointed out that if this isn't a clear cut case of patent exhaustion, then the concept is pretty useless.
Monsanto's bizarre argument is that while it agrees to let farmers sell the seeds as a commodity without restriction, it still doesn't want anyone to plant with them, so anyone who does so did not make an authorized purchase, and thus no exhaustion has occurred. I can't see how that makes any sense at all. First of all, no restrictions were placed on the sale, so later claiming restrictions makes no sense. Furthermore, retroactively declaring a sale by two separate independent parties "unauthorized," after the fact, based on what the buyer does, is flat out crazy.
The court here says that exhaustion is meaningless, because the seeds Bowman planted are new seeds, and thus newly infringing -- yes, despite the legal purchase:
Patent exhaustion does not bar an infringement action. Even if Monsanto's patent rights in the commodity seeds are exhausted, such a conclusion would be of no consequence because once a grower, like Bowman, plants the commodity seeds containing Monsanto's Roundup Ready technology and the next generation of seed develops, the grower has created a newly infringing article.It's hard to read decisions like this and not realize how horribly broken the patent system is, aided by courts like CAFC and a Congress that fails to fix such clear abuses.
