JDO provides a flexible API for use of query languages. DataNucleus makes use of this to allow use of the query language defined in the JPA1 specification (JPQL) with JDO persistence. JPQL is a pseudo-OO language based around SQL, and so not using Java syntax, unlike JDOQL. To provide a simple example, this is what you would do
Query q = pm.newQuery("javax.jdo.query.JPQL", "SELECT p FROM Person p WHERE p.lastName = 'Jones'"); List results = (List)q.execute();
This finds all "Person" objects with surname of "Jones". You specify all details in the query.
In traditional (declarative) JDOQL (JDO 1.0) it was necessary to specify the component parts (filter, candidate class, ordering, etc) of the query using the mutator methods on the Query. In JDO 2 you can now specify it all in a single string. This string has to follow a particular pattern, but provides the convenience that many people have been asking for. The pattern to use is as follows
SELECT [<result>] [FROM <candidate-class(es)>] [WHERE <filter>] [GROUP BY <grouping>] [HAVING <having>] [ORDER BY <ordering>]
The "keywords" in the query are shown in UPPER CASE are case-insensitive.
In the example shown you note that we did not specify the full class name. We used Person p and thereafter could refer to p as the alias. The Person is called the entity name and in JPA MetaData this can be defined against each class in its definition. With JDO we dont have this MetaData attribute so we simply define the entity name as the name of the class omitting the package name . So org.datanucleus.test.samples.Person will have an entity name of Person .
When you know that there will be only a single result, you can set the query as unique. This simplifies the process of getting the result
Query query = pm.newQuery("javax.jdo.query.JPQL", "SELECT p FROM Person p WHERE p.lastName = 'Obama' AND o.firstName = 'Barak'"); query.setUnique(true); Person pers = (Person) query.execute();
If you are defining the result of the JPQL query and want to obtain each row of the results as an object of a particular type, then you can set the result class.
Query query = pm.newQuery("javax.jdo.query.JPQL", "SELECT p.firstName, p.lastName FROM Person p"); query.setResultClass(Name.class); List<Name> names = (List<Name>) query.execute();
The Result Class has to meet certain requirements. These are
So in our example, we are returning 2 String fields, and we define our Result Class Name as follows
public class Name { protected String firstName = null; protected String lastName = null; public Name(String first, String last) { this.firstName = first; this.lastName = last; } ... }
So here we have a result class using the constructor arguments. We could equally have provided a class with public fields instead, or provided setXXX methods or a put method. They all work in the same way.
In JPQL queries it is convenient to pass in parameters so we dont have to define the same query for different values. Let's take two examples
Named Parameters : Query q = em.createQuery( "SELECT p FROM Person p WHERE p.lastName = :surname AND o.firstName = :forename"); Map params = new HashMap(); params.put("surname", theSurname); params.put("forename", theForename"); List<Person> results = (List<Person>)q.executeWithMap(params); Numbered Parameters : Query q = em.createQuery( "SELECT p FROM Person p WHERE p.lastName = ?1 AND p.firstName = ?2"); List<Person> results = (List<Person>)q.execute(theSurname, theForename);
So in the first case we have parameters that are prefixed by : (colon) to identify them as a parameter and we use that name in the parameter map passed to execute(). In the second case we have parameters that are prefixed by ? (question mark) and are numbered starting at 1. We then pass the parameters in to execute in that order.

Comfort Food From Louisiana: Chef Recipe: Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Crawfish, Pepper Jack and Shrimp-Tomato Bisque Soup: April Is National Grilled Cheese Month: From Denny: Now this is an exotic version of the humble comfort food: the American grilled cheese sandwich.
You have no idea how hard it was when visiting Austria a few years ago when I attempted to explain how to make a simple grilled cheese sandwich to a local chef. It was a seriously foreign concept to them. They didn't have a clue. Lots of delicious local cheeses yet no Austrian version of a grilled cheese sandwich! Imagine that.
This Louisiana version comes from executive chef Carl Schaubhut of Café Adelaide in New Orleans. Of course, as seafood, this rich sandwich is considered Lenten season friendly. Serve by pairing it with the shrimp-tomato bisque soup. Here in Louisiana we always look for an excuse to enjoy our bountiful seafood so why not go meat free on Fridays even when it isn't Lent? (You know, that special time that arrives after Mardi Gras and before Easter.) Our restaurants enjoy creating Lenten season menus, always topping themselves from the year previous!...

NJ Police Can Administer Anti-Overdose Drug
Some police officers in New Jersey are now permitted to administer a drug that counteracts heroin overdoses.
Gov. Chris Christie announced a pilot program Wednesday that allows police in Ocean and Monmouth counties to carry and administer the drug.
Christie says police in all 32 Ocean County towns are being trained how to administer Narcan, which is injected through the nose.
Ocean County's heroin deaths more than doubled to 112 in 2012.
Christie also met first responders in Brick Township to discuss the emergency treatment. The governor signed a waiver allowing first responders in New Jersey to carry and administer Narcan last week.
He says the waiver complements the state's Overdose Prevention Act, a measure that shields someone overdosing on drugs and those who get them medical assistance from prosecution.

Abu Lulu's Shrine: Knowing Your Adversaries...
First, let us remember the story (source here), to rekindle our grief upon the murder of one of Islam's greatest-- Umar (RD), who even the Shaytan feared:
"When the year 644 A.D. dawned, that being the tenth year of his rule, Umar had the premonition that before the year ended, he would die.
Ayesha who was present on the occasion of the pilgrimage has left on record that as the party treaded the path between Mina and Mecca, some unseen person addressing Umar said:
"Upon such an Iman as thou be peace and blessings, With your deeds you have prepared for the journey to Heaven, In this journey no one can outstrip you. You brought glory to Islam, After you there will be distress, But so is the will of God. From God you came, and now to God return."
Ahu Musa Ashaari states that at that time he had a dream. In the dream he saw the Holy Prophet and Abu Bakr standing on a mountain. Umar stood at the base. Abu Bakr and the Holy Prophet asked him to come up and he climbed the mountain. The dream was interpreted to imply that the death of Umar was imminent.
On the last Friday in October 644, while presiding at the Friday Prayers Umar said that in a dream he had seen a bird peck at him and this implied that he was going to die. He said, "May be this is the last Friday prayer for me to preside, and thus ye faithful, farewell."
After the battle of Nihawand, many Persians, men, women, and children were taken as captives by the Muslims. The captives were sold as slaves. One of these slaves was Firoz alias Abu Lulu. He was purchased by Mughirah Shu'bah the Governor of Basra. This Firoz was a craftsman, a carpenter, an iron smith and a painter. Umar did not allow non-Muslim adult captives to reside in Madina. Mughirah sought special permission for the residence of Firoz in Madina on the ground that as he was a skilled craftsman, he would be of service to the people. Umar gave the permission as a special case.
One day, Firoz waited on Umar and complained that the tax which his master Mughirah was exacting from him was too high. He wanted the Caliph to reduce the levy. Umar enquired what work did he do. He said that he worked as a carpenter, painter, and an ironsmith. He added that he could make windmills as well. Umar next enquired as to the amount of the tax that he was required to pay to his master. He said that he had to pay two dirhams a day. Umar said that keeping in view the lucrative nature of the jobs done by him, the levy of two dirhams a day was prima facie not excessive. Umar said that he would, however, write to Mughirah, and examine the question further in the light of what Mughirah said. That did not satisfy Firoz, and he went away sulking. There were Persian children slaves in Madina. Seeing them, Firoz would say, "You have been enslaved at such a tender age. This Umar sees eaten my heart. I will take his heart out". He made for himself a dagger with a very sharp edge and smeared it with poison.
On the 1st of November 644 A.D. at the time of the morning prayer, Firoz went with his dagger to the Prophet's mosque and hid himself in a corner in one of the recesses of the mosque. When the faithful stood for prayer after straightening the lines, and Umar took up his position as the Imam to lead the prayer, Firoz emerged from his place of hiding and rushed at Umar. Firoz struck Umar six consecutive blows with his dagger, and Umar fell on the floor profusely bleeding.
Other persons rushed at Firoz, but he had the fury and frenzy of a desperate man about him. He struck right and left, and thirteen Muslims were wounded, some of them fatally [seven Sahabah died], before Firoz could be overpowered. At last realizing that he could not escape, Firoz stabbed himself to death with his own dagger. From the mosque Umar was carried home. When he regained consciousness he asked who was his murderer. He was told that his murderer was the Persian slave Firoz. Thereupon Umar said, "Praise be to God that I have not been murdered by a Muslim".
The physician administered him date cordial and milk. These could not be digested and gushed out of his wounds. That indicated that the wounds were fatal and that he could not survive for long.
The people around him praised him for his virtues and sterling qualities. He asked them not to praise him. He said: "All praise is to Allah. If all the treasures of this world were to be at my disposal, I would offer them as a ransom to be saved from the trial at the Day of Judgment." He then recited the Arabic verse:
"I have been unjust to my soul, Except that I am a Muslim, Say my prayers and fast."
Umar asked his son Abdullah to wait on Ayesha and beg her permission for his burial by the side of the Holy Prophet and Abu Bakr. Ayesha wept as she came to know that Umar was about to die. She said, "I had reserved this place for my own burial, but I give Umar precedence over myself. Let him be buried there". When Umar was told that Ayesha had given the permission, he felt happy and said, "God bless Ayesha. She has fulfilled my greatest wish. Now I can die in peace."
Then he asked his son to estimate the debt that he had to pay. He was told that the debt amounted to eighty six thousand dirhams. This included the salary that he had drawn from the Baitul Mal during the period of his caliphate. He instructed that the debt should be paid by the sale of his property. Thereafter Umar gave detailed instructions to his son regarding his funeral. He said:
"Be moderate in the expenses of my shroud, for verily if there is anything of good with God in my favor, He will give me in exchange what is better than it, and if I have been otherwise, He will strip me of all that I have. And be moderate in the grave that you dig for me, for verily if there be anything of good with God in my favor, He will widen it for me, and if I have been otherwise, He will make it narrow for me to squeeze my body. And let no woman go with my funeral. Praise me not for that which is not in me, for the Lord knows best what I am. Therefore when you carry me to the grave, hasten in your going for if there is anything of good with God in my favor you will speed me to that which is good, and if I have been otherwise, you will cast from your necks an evil that you bear."
Thereafter Umar turned his face to the Qibla and breathed his last. There was serene smile on his face as he lay dead."
That was the story of the Great Caliph Umar (RD). And the following is the story of the cowards who have elevated Abu Lulu', the Zorastrian murderer of Umar, to the level of saint, with a large shrine to celebrate this great crime. The following pictures were taken from two sources, one of them from Wikipedia (online encyclopedia). This is NOT a hoax. You can read more about it on Wikipedia here, and you can also see this shrine being defended on a shia forum here.
One guy at this shiachat forum comments (audhubillah mina shaytan-ul-ins), "It is your scholars abu hanifa and bukhari who are persian magis fire worshippers . Abu Lulu'a was a great persian muslim who has been praised by AhlulBayt for sending that tyrant to hell and his miserable destiny. Anyway what's your proof that he is magian from your sources ?"
Why is this reminder important at this time? Because of what is happening in Iraq, because of what is happening in Lebanon. We cannot close our eyes to reality. Ali (who is influenced by pro-regressives) on his forum Eteraz.org asked his readers to support the call of a Shia Imam's editorial in a US newspaper. Read it for yourself here, and see how slick and wicked these people are. The guy (I am talking about the Imam) talks about "external" involvement by Saudis, Egyptians, Jordanians, but casually forgets Iran and the Mahdi-army terrorists. So, before we let the lore of Ahmadinejad among the Sunnis get out of hand, and tales of the great victories of the Shiite Hezbollah, let us remember Shiites really believe, and what they really think of the Sahaba, and what their banners and slogans really are. Let us not forget who betrayed Muslims in the recent wars... in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Notwithstanding that their allies from the West soon realized too on their accord, that their allies were not the best of allies, after all; betray one, and you will betray others. May Allah help us all, and guide us all to the truth.
(Added 2/13/07) I will add that the majority of Sunni scholars consider Shias to be within the fold of Islam. Furthermore, what happened in Afghanistan & Iraq does not mean ALL Shias have the same 'problem'. Wherever we can cooperate, we should do so. Wherever we can help each other to solve the bigger issues, and help to stop the destruction of life and property anywhere, we should encourage that. The killing in Iraq is haraam, of both Shias and Sunnis. The killing of any innocent person is haraam, let alone a Muslim. The terrorists exist on both sides, but for the most part, the objective view seems to say that Shias (having the upper hand) are the bigger instigators in Iraq, so the Shias who reject this violence need to redouble their efforts to help stop the bloodshed.
I call upon the Shias to tell the Sunnis on this blog that they the shrine of Abu-Lulu is not a 'mainstream' view among them. I HOPE to hear those voices.
Picture Stories on this Blog are being Collected HERE.

Potential uses
Schools, nightclubs, my local high street. Can't think of any others though.
Paris, because she doesn't reveal physical body details either…
A spy-beam camera that can detect weapons, drugs or explosives hidden under people's clothes from up to 25 metres away will be unveiled at a Home Office hardware expo this week. ThruVision's T5000 camera uses "passive imaging technology" to pick up objects by the natural electromagnetic or Terahertz frequencies – commonly known …
Cool! - does that mean we can look forward to walking past big screens (a la Total Recall) to be inspected rather than the tedious belt / shoe-removal dance we have to do now at airports?
All the more tedious when you know the operators aren't even looking at the x-ray screens :)
I have always been a big fan of technological advancement. That is, until it started falling into the hands of the indignantly untrained and ill-informed (please spare the military jokes. TSA is fair game. . .)
Exhibit A - http://www.michaelnygard.com/blog/2008/03/steve_jobs_made_me_miss_my_fli.html
"We were certain that it was an iPod shaped bomb. There was no hard drive in it. That, and he had TWO cell phones. Surely a sign of a terrorist."
I'm beginning to think I may have to hoop my AT&T SIM whenever I travel to the States.
The Home Office can start publicising they are spying on the nation's groins using natural radiation generated from sustainable bodyheat and won't need to irradiate our gonads with radium after all (apart from on special occasions).
So should I stock up on tinfoil undies?
"The Home Office can start publicising they are spying on the nation's groins using natural radiation generated from sustainable bodyheat and won't need to irradiate our gonads with radium after all (apart from on special occasions).
So should I stock up on tinfoil undies?"
No, 'cause when they zap you, the metallic undercrackers will arc to the nearest point inside them..
Sorry about the painful and disturbing mental picture.
The lead Damarts, ta.
I saw a version of this a cople of years ago. A female demonstrator used it on herself to show how she wasn't afraid of being scanned by it at an airport. It showed a LOT of detail, as accurate as a tv image of a naked person but in grey.
I guess these newer ones blur out most of it.
My first thought was it was the old tech that emmited waves, but this actually doesn't, they found a way to increase the sensitivity of the reader. Not that it solves the privacy problem or will stop police from putting them up around escalators and using the rare avoidance by a non sheeple as reasonable suspicion for a stop and search.
Seems to me like this operates on the principle that illegal objects create shadows in the body's emitted t-waves... So you could easily foil them by putting something between the illegal item and the camera... like more body. So it looks like they'll still need to do those full cavity searches if you look sketchy enough.
I wonder how this will affect those who carry legal sized knives - presumably shopping malls and the like can impliment their own limits on 'weapon' carrying and use this tech to regulate their populations pretty closely. Any world where I can't carry a reasonably useful (3.5 inches is nice) lockblade is a world that I don't want to be a part of.
Is there anything that makes this not seem like an invasion of privacy? I know loads of people apparently don't care about their own privacy in order to stop terrorism... but I'd rather worry about the occasional bomb than having rent-a-cops know whats in my pockets at all times.
> Potential Uses
Hmm, was that all?
Apart from the obvious buttressing of already well protected sites; perhaps the primary use of such a device would be the temporary secure of an otherwise (relatively) insecure location, for instance: VIP and/or otherwise 'targeted persons' visits, vulnerable/critical witness protection (especially those languishing in Intensive Care), Court security for high risk Category A prisoners etc. And there's whole a load more related scenarios along those lines.
Anything that might help prevent or deter that 'unexpected surprise' is most welcome; just so long as it has a reasonably good hit rate. No doubt the manufacturers are striving for that elusive (and oh so impossible) 100% hit rate, yet paradoxically, that's probably the last thing you should want for your Protection Team. Such a belief invariably leads to complacency and that dangerous false sense of security because that's always when the bad things can (and usually do) happen – For a grown-up there's nothing more satisfying than a boring day, at least there is in this context!
Well we've already got the Arches, the Magic Wands and Rapiscan machines, I only hope they've made these buggers light and portable, but somehow I doubt it, life's not like that. Anyway, I should be at the HOSDB bash on Thursday so I'll soon see for myself.
"I know loads of people apparently don't care about their own privacy in order to stop terrorism... but I'd rather worry about the occasional bomb than having rent-a-cops know whats in my pockets at all times."
Same here. A random assault by an unarmed person is about 30 times more likely (and even then the odds are low). But for some reason we've gone terrorist nuts... Which means they've won.
Well what if you've bought a blister packed gadget. You either wait until you get home and stab the shit out of it to get the goodies out, carry an acid dispenser or a penknife with a couple-inch long blade (kept sharp, because a blunt blade is more dangerous to use and doesn't work as well).
But no, that's carrying a concealed weapon.
Odd aside: some people were suggesting that people had no need to carry knives on display so should put them away, but this would turn the knife into a concealed weapon... Buggered coming and going.
So that's an end to discretely wearing concealed body jewellery.
I can just about appreciate the use in an airport scenario where we have come to accept being regularly searched.
But having to remember to remove your nipple (insert anatomical object here) rings before going shopping just stinks; And god help anyone with more esoteric tastes!
Just to clear up a bit of confusion -
In the UK at least, under S139 of the Criminal justice Act 198* and various bits of case law, you can carry a non-locking pen/pocket knife, so long as the blade is shorter than 3", modulo being a complete arse with it and/or taking it to the pub/club/football ground.
* 1988 or 1989, I can't remember off the top of my head.
Oh and IANAL, I just read a fair bit.
Saw the device in action at the HOSDB exhibition.
It was impressive enough, at least within the confines of it's manufacturers stated design goals. But it's certainly nothing like the imagined device so many people above got all excited about.
The Human body merely appears as largely formless glowing red blob on a blue 'un-energised' background, it was slightly wider at the top. This shape did not vary very much between individuals of different sizes and body shapes.
The pressence of a suicide bomber's vest blocked the machine's ability to detect terahertz energy thus causing a very noticable change to the average formless blob shape - and that's it!
You certainly couldn't 'see' anything tangible at all. It is not any particular susbstance, as such, that gets detected, merely absence of t-waves and this appears more significantly influenced by non-living mass than anything else.

Car Review: Dog Day
2013 Mazda CX-5: Dogs and Mountain MPGs
After hearing several folks rave about how comfortable our 2013 Mazda CX-5 feels on long drives, I wanted to find out for myself. So, I called a friend, booked a dog-friendly hotel in Gatlinburg, Tenn., and packed his 25-lb mini-Australian Shepherd and my 90-lb black Labrador in the back of the Mazda. The entire trip would cover 500 highway and backwoods mountain miles, all in search of hiking trails, putt-putt and a hot air balloon ride.
With the rear seats down, the cargo area in the CX-5 folds flat to an expansive 64.8 cu ft of space. That means there was room for two suitcases, a duffle bag full of dog supplies, an oversized dog bed and all 115 pounds of dog, with space to spare. Both dogs sprawled out comfortably in the back, while my friend and I enjoyed the warmth in the heated seats up front. The drive from Atlanta to Gatlinburg is nearly four hours long, and I found myself comfortable and relaxed the entire way. I previously owned a 2004 Mazda3, and my lower back couldn't handle much more than two consecutive hours of driving it at a time. Mazda's new seats are significantly more supportive than they have been in the past, which makes the CX-5 a great place to spend your time on a road trip.
But the real headline here is the fuel economy of Mazda's SKYACTIV 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine. So far, our team has averaged around 30 miles per gallon with mixed use on the highway and in traffic. That's an impressive number for any crossover on the market today. I expected to see a pretty significant drop as we climbed up into the mountains, especially since the CX-5 is a little underpowered. That means lots of downshifting and high engine-revs to go uphill or overtake traffic, but despite that we still earned 28.4 mpg over the course of the trip. On the highway stretches alone, we averaged 34 mpg heading back down to Georgia from the Tennessee hills.
After a weekend in the 2013 Mazda CX-5, I'm a believer. It isn't the quickest in its class, but its versatility, comfort and excellent fuel economy in real-world situations make it a compelling option.

In retaliation, David Horowitz labeled Al Franken "racist"
Research ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
In his book Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right (Dutton, 2003), comedian and Air America Radio host Al Franken referred to David Horowitz, editor in chief of the right-wing website FrontPageMag.com, as a "racist." Horowitz fired back in a November 30, 2004, column on FrontPageMag.com and posted a picture of Franken on the FrontPageMag.com homepage with the word "racist" printed across it in large black letters. Horowitz explained that the "photo will be prominently posted until you [Franken] apologize to me publicly for this attack." In his own November 30, 2004, column, National Review managing editor Jay Nordlinger cheered on Horowitz's "big and damning" response to Franken, calling Franken's labeling of Horowitz "asinine." But Media Matters for America and others have catalogued instances of Horowitz's racial insensitivity.
Horowitz first criticized Franken in a November 22, 2004, weblog post on FrontPageMag.com for partially blaming the 2004 presidential election results on the media for failing to "do its job." Horowitz wrote in his November 30 column that a reader emailed him after reading this post to remind him that Franken had labeled Horowitz a "racist" in 2003. In the same column, Horowitz wrote that while he previously "noticed" Franken's attack and "let it pass," he had now "decided to take notice of Franken's assault." Horowitz claimed: "There is not a single sentence, or phrase, or comment of mine that could be cited to justify Franken's attack. ... When you [Franken] have made an apology, I will disclose my evidence for characterizing you as a racist or withdraw the charge."
In 2001, Horowitz and the Center for the Study of Popular Culture, a conservative think tank of which Horowitz is president and co-founder, attempted to place an advertisement in college newspapers nationwide, titled "Ten Reasons Why Reparations for Slavery is a Bad Idea -- and Racist, Too." Horowitz wanted the newspapers to publish the ad on February 28, 2001 -- the last day of Black History Month. Among the arguments listed for denying reparations were: "Reparations to African Americans Have Already Been Paid" and "What About the Debt Blacks Owe to America?" On March 1, 2001, The Daily Californian became the first newspaper to run the ad. The Californian's decision was met with harsh criticism and protest, and the paper published a public apology the following day.
Robert Chrisman, editor in chief of the journal The Black Scholar, and Ernest Allen Jr., a professor of African American studies at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, issued a response to Horowitz that directly challenged and refuted the ad's claims. Chrisman and Allen wrote:
While Horowitz's article [sic] pretends to address the issues of reparations, it is not about reparations at all. It is, rather, a well-heeled, coordinated attack on Black Americans which is calculated to elicit division and strife.
As one examines the text of Horowitz's article, it becomes apparent that it is not a reasoned essay addressed to the topic of reparations: it is, rather, a racist polemic against African Americans and Africans that is neither responsible nor informed, relying heavily upon sophistry and a Hitlerian "Big Lie" technique.
In addition, as MMFA has noted, TIME magazine national correspondent Jack E. White described Horowitz in an August 30, 1999, TIME article as a "real, live bigot." White's article followed an August 16, 1999, column Horowitz wrote for Salon.com, which bore the headline, "Guns don't kill black people, other blacks do." Horowitz wrote in that piece:
If blacks constitute just under half the prison population, for example, that cannot be allowed to suggest that the black community might have a problem when it comes to raising its children as law-abiding members of society. Oh no. Such a statistic can only be explained by the racism of a criminal justice system that is incarcerating too many blacks.
In his November 30, 2004, FrontPageMag.com column, Horowitz defended himself against Franken's "attack":
I have written more than a million words on racial and political matters -- all of them public record. There is not a single sentence, or phrase, or comment of mine that could be cited to justify Franken's attack.

Once I became a farmer, I discovered that dirt – or using grown-up farmers' terminology, soil – is so much more than just the fun stuff that makes kids dirty. Soil is absolutely an essential ingredient in the food system, and it's something that most of us just don't spend a lot of time thinking about.

The Senate Agriculture Committee held its first Farm Bill field hearing last week in Michigan. Fifteen people testified, including Michigan Corn Growers Association President Clark Gerstackerk, a fourth-generation row crop farmer.
Gerstacker has utilized a variety of Farm Bill programs for his operation, including crop insurance, Average Crop Revenue Election and the Conservation Reserve Program. He says the timing and complexity involved with the ACRE program made it difficult for farmers to understand and move forward, but added that ACRE is a viable program. He believes risk management tools are essential for farmers and need to be maintained in the 2012 Farm Bill, although he says there are some changes that could be made.
"Faced with the growing national debt and budget constraints across the board, I realize that some of these bills may be changed in the next Farm Bill," Gerstacker said. "I do feel that risk management program such as ACRE and crop insurance are absolutely vital and can not be lost in the next farm bill. The ACRE program as an example can be made more efficient and useful to farmers by increasing the timeliness of payments and bringing program triggers closer to the farm."
Gerstacker says doing so can help bridge the gaps in the current Farm Bill programs. He says programs also should strive to be producer-based, not landowner-based, to ensure the programs assist the farmers who assume the risk. Farmers are providing feed and fuel for a growing world population Gerstacker pointed out and they face many risks and challenges.
"We face increasingly tumultuous markets that rise and fall with the wind," Gerstacker said. "At the same time that we encounter ever-changing market opportunities, farmers also face higher input costs such as seed, fertilizer and fuel, all of which are necessary components of a year's harvest."
Not to mention the uncertainty of weather, which Gerstacker notes is out of the farmer's control and can present a make-it or break-it factor for crops.
That's why Gerstacker says farmers need access to affordable risk management tools to lessen the impact of crop losses and price declines and why the 2012 Farm Bill is so important.
"It's not about providing income to less than 2% of the population that farms," Gerstacker said. "It is about ensuring that the same 2% can continue to provide affordable food for the other 98% of Americans who rely on them."
By improving the risk management tools, Gerstacker says the best possible safety net can be provided for America's farmers and the American food supply.

As regular, or even irregular, readers will know, and not only from my previous post, I still have quite an affection for the old Volkswagen Beetle, and at this point in history that may be part of my ongoing affection for many dying (though not quite dead) forms: the printed map, vinyl, the novel, unshaven pudenda.
When I came to live in Los Angeles – about a decade ago now – there were still a lot of Beetles on the street, more than you ever saw in London, and way more than you saw in New York, the places I lived immediately before coming here. It had a lot to do with the bad winters in those places, I'm sure.
And so when I arrived here, determined not to be part of the cliché that nobody walks in LA, I'd go walking, if not exactly randomly then certainly without much purpose, just looking at things, and I'd make a note of how many VW Beetles I saw. Sometimes I even photographed them. And when I got home I'd think, "OK, today's was a 3 Beetle walk. Yesterday's was a 5 Beetle walk" and so on. Unsophisticated stuff I know: Walter Benjamin would have been saddened.
The number of Beetles in LA has declined significantly in the last decade, though there are still a surprising number, especially given that (unless they're imported from Mexico) even the most recent of them is a over 30 years old. I've always been most fascinated by the ones that have the most patina, that show the most signs of wear, age and ruin, but the truth is, I no longer look at (or for) Beetles quite as obsessively as I once did when out walking.
Last week my pal Anthony Miller and I went for a walk in the wild east part of LA's downtown and although we weren't strictly in search of Beetles, we came across rather more than we expected. We stated at Sci Arc (that's the Southern California Institute of Architecture), a college housed inside a quarter-mile long former freight depot, a building big enough that you do plenty of walking while you're inside it, especially if you're there looking for an exhibition and are too guyish to ask anybody for directions.
The exhibition sounded intriguingly inscrutable, and its title was "Ball-Nogues Studio: Yevrus 1, Negative Impression." The description read as follows:
"Constructed from non-architectural artifacts, Yevrus 1, Negative Impression is a disposable architecture of literal references that calls into question the contemporary architectural vogue for digital complexity and abstraction. The cast impressions of 1973 Volkswagen Beetles and speedboats unite to form a strong structural whole that serves as a lookout tower in the SCI-Arc Gallery.
"After studying a variety of objects within the Los Angeles suburban-scape, the designers selected the individual components for their iconic and structural potential, as well as their availability. Once chosen, the parts were digitally scanned in three dimensions and cast in biodegradable paper pulp using a proprietary technique the studio refers to as a "Yevrus"—the word "Survey" spelled backwards. With this work, the first in a series of experimental Yevrus projects, Ball-Nogues rethinks the purpose of the site survey. No longer seen as a simple tool for construction and engineering, the survey becomes an instrument for finding form, seeking structural stability and realizing iconic meaning."
I'll forgive you if you didn't read all the way to the end of that, but there was a very cool image (below) that advertised the exhibition.
I imagined that the thing in the picture had actually been built as a life-size set, so that we could walk into it and around it, like a kind of Ed Kienholz art installation.
As we walked across the vast sea of parking lot that surrounds Sci Arc I couldn't help noticing a glistening silver Beetle over across the other side. It operated as a beacon.
And when we got up to it, we saw it wasn't just painted silver, it was actually wrapped in some kind of silver foil, in order that (we concluded) a mold or several molds could be made, without sticking to the car itself. That's one of the molds sitting next to the Beetle, on the right.
And when we got up to it, we saw it wasn't just painted silver, it was actually wrapped in some kind of silver foil, in order that (we concluded) a mold or several molds could be made, without sticking to the car itself. That's one of the molds sitting next to the Beetle, on the right.
Encouraged, in we went, walked around in an aimless way for a while, and eventually stopped being guyish and asked directions from a man who looked a lot like an architect (black roll neck, spiky grey hair, ornate specs and a German accent) and so we found our way to the exhibition space. And that's when we discovered that thing in the picture was actually just a picture. There was no walk-in Ed Kienholz-style set. Were we disappointed? Yes, but we cheered up at the site of the pod in very middle of the space.
Now, that pod, as perhaps you can see, is partly made of casts taken from a VW Beetle, the one outside presumably, colored some very interesting shades, assembled, and lit internally by fluorescent tubes. It was by no means what we came for, or had expected, but there was no denying it was kind of cool.
So then, afterwards, when we went walking "properly," we saw this very clean convertible on the street:
And there was this one apparently being used as part of a photoshoot:
Looking for Beetles was not the main purpose, or even the highlight, of our afternoon, but somehow our perambulation had become a kind of Beetle walk. Not one of the great ones; essentially just a 3 Beetle walk, unless you counted the casts, and I think it was probably best not to.
And above is a photograph of my fellow walker, Anthony Miller, looking Jonah-like, as if he's inside the whale, if there had been fluorescent tubes in there, and if the whale had been shaped like a Volkswagen. Very little room to walk in there.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad might be famous for wanting to kill Jews, but his predecessor, the allegedly "moderate" Hassan Rohani, has apparently actually done so.
An American newspaper this week pointed out that a 2006 indictment by the government in Argentina had listed Rohani as one of the co-conspirators in the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires.
The attack, which killed 85 people and wounded hundreds more, was, according to Argentina, carried out by Hezbollah, but was ordered from Tehran.
The Argentine government investigator stated that the attack was planned and given a green light by Iran's Supreme National Security Council, which is headed by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khameini.
A former Iranian intelligence official testified in the case that Rohani was also a member of that council, as was former Iranian President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, himself hailed throughout the West as a "moderate."
As Israelis have been pointing out since his election last week, Rohani might have more tact and style than Ahmadinejad, but he hates Israel every bit as much.

Catch the excitement with Lake Texoma Fishing Guides
Imagine the thrill of bringing in a big, rod bending, line zinging trophy bass! Lake Texoma is well know for its outstanding striper fishing. In addition, large and smallmouth bass fishing is very popular. Lake Texoma Fishing Guides will make your day on the water a fishing trip memory that will last forever!
A fisherman's paradise for Striped Bass, Black or Sand Bass, Crappie and Catfish, Lake Texoma offers something for every avid fisherman! One of the few lakes were striped bass spawn naturally, Lake Texoma is formed by the Red River from the west and the Washata River from the north, which create deep channels and strong currents, long enough for the spawning process to occur.
With over 89,000 acres of water and points of interest 25 miles apart, Lake Texoma is one of the largest reservoirs in the country. Monster striped bass are heavy feeders all year long. The guides on this page have a pretty keen knowledge of where those fighting stripers are likely to be at any given time and have the tackle, bait and electronic equipment to find them.
Lake Texoma runs along the border of Texas and Oklahoma, with much of the water being on the Oklahoma side. You will need fishing licenses for both states or a special Lake Texoma fishing license which allows you to fish all of the lake. If you fish on the river from the shore, the appropriate state license is required but if you are "on" the river or wade in the water you will need an Oklahoma fishing license.
Wayne's Guide Service Captain Wayne McCullough, has been bass fishing Lake Texoma since the early 1990's and began full-time striper guiding in 2004,

Stop Time Warner Cable's Unfair Bandwidth Tier System
Thank you for the support! TWC has dropped tier-based pricing plans for now!
News Story:
Time Warner Cable (TWC) is planning on introducing a tier-based bandwidth allocation system in Austin TX, San Antonio TX, Greensboro, NC and Rochester NY.
This system is similar to current cell phone plans that charge consumers based on minutes used. TWC is introducing 5GB, 10GB and 40GB plans priced from $22.95 to $54.90 a month. Users that exceed the limit will be charged $1 for each GB they go over.
The maximum 40GB cap is so low that consumers can easily exceed it and encounter huge fees. Technologies such as the iTunes store, Apple TV, Netflix Watch Instant, Xbox LIVE and PlayStation 3 Marketplace all use large amounts of bandwidth to deliver content. Consumers that use any of these products will have a very hard time staying under this extremely low cap and will likely have to adjust their habits in order to avoid extremely large fees.
Why this is bad
More and more content is being delivered online
This content ranges from online radio to downloading high definition movies.
Physical Media Is Being Replaced
More and more applications are being delivered online. These programs can range from games to office software.
Increasing File Size
As internet speeds get faster, hard drives get cheaper and media gets easier to distribute having a finite cap on the amount of data you can transfer per month will slow the adoption of new technologies.
Online Content Consumes More Bandwidth
Streaming just 9 hours of high definition content a month is more than 40GB. Consumers are shifting from watching media on TV to watching online. This is being made possible with technologies such as iTunes, Netflix, X-Box Live, PlayStaton 3 Marketplace and many others
Computers are not 100% safe
Many people have programs installed on their computer that they do not know about. These programs may be communicating with a remote server and consuming bandwidth without the owners knowledge. This policy may charge the user for something he or she may not even know is happening.
What you can do
1. Call your local TWC phone number and express your dissatisfaction with the new pricing and bandwidth caps. Remember to be polite and persistent!
2. Email your complaint to realideas. This email address was set up so TWC has a single place to check for everything related to the new tier policy.
3. Share this site with your friends! Use the links on the right side of this page to promote this cause. TWC knows about this website and they know that we, the consumers, are not happy with these changes. The more people that get involved the better! Webmasters: we greatly appreciate all the links we are getting to this page and invite anyone with a website to link to us!
4. Contact your local government representatives. In most of the areas affected consumers do not have a choice between broadband providers. If this 40GB cap goes through as planned these people will be forced to change the way they view and acquire content online.
5. Browse our delicious links and email us at info with websites related to this issue. We are constantly updating this list of bookmarks and are building a great collection of information.

Don't be pissed if it ends up being Glenn
Don't get pissed if the person clementine thought was dead ends up being Glenn. I know there are a bunch of Lilly Kenny supporters out there.
he's dead or with rick in dc
Don't be pissed if this thing that is never going to happen happens. You never know if Kirkman is on drugs or not.
Uh...Glenn is dead. when he went into atlanta he found rick and followed him. he was a recurring charatar until issue 100 where negan bashed his brains in. he is dead. unless the walking dead game is non canon with the comics. PS if you dont like kenny you wont like this
Glenn is a comic guy along with Hershel. Even if they arn't canon anymore brining them back would confuse everyone
Also why the heck would Clementine think he is dead! I wouldnt even care about him at this point!
it's cannon.So are the series.
Who cares about Glenn? It´s either Kenny, Lilly, the Bandit who attacked Christa or a character we havent met yet and will meet at Episode 2.
fuck you for spoiling me. I'm only on issue 7.
I hope it is Kenny, I miss Kenny ):
I almost wanted Comics Rick to meet Lee. I mean I didn't want it because the canon would be messed up and it'd be too forced but I mean I'd love to see how they'd react to each other. Both protagonists protecting their kids
Well he said that he continue writing until he dies,but at least make all of them:comic/series and Video game linked with each others
Clem reads the comics, that's why she thought he was dead. i guess
Damn man.....SPOILERS!
Granted that's something I already knew but do you have any idea how badly you ruined a potential surprise twist?
Yes. *And people also shouldn't be pissed if it turns out to be Richard Nixon!
Why would it be Glenn?
I don't recall Glenn and Clem having much of a connection
She is mad because Glenn took her other walkie talkie.themadeiramagician posted: »

Well, there has to be some kind of statute of limitations on spoilers. If the work has been around for awhile, then people really shouldn't have to do spoiler tags. For instance, I had Wesley Wyndam-Pryce's death (RIP) spoiled for me on these very forums about a week before I started watching Angel. Doyle's too. I don't feel that I need to put THESE in spoiler tags because those happened years ago. I'll do it this one time, just to keep this from getting out of hand.
so? I just got into The Walking Dead. Spoiler tags exist for a reason
I hate Glenn
Hate him in the comics, hate him in the show and I even hated him for the short time he was in the game.
I highly doubt he will show up but if he does...ugh NO!
Yeah Doyle's death was really sad,I'm aware of wesley's death but in terms of angel I'm only beginning season 2, seen all of buffy countless times though. Remember them in better times Rock

this would mean clem thinking he is dead?
I'll try. Wesley was my FAVORITE from the show. Seeing his death was worse than any other TV character I've seen die.

I find him very uninteresting and whiney. I think comic Glenn is a bit better but the show Glenn is just awful. The show tries to remind us how much Maggie and Glenn love each other every episode and I just don't see it. Just a weak character. He was cool in the beginning but now hes such a baby. Carol has become cooler than him. That's just my opinion though so I totally get why people like him.
Reasoning? Not trying to bash or anything, I'm just curious. He seems to be a very well liked character.
Agreed comic Glenn eventually becomes scared all the time however they made him like this by season 2 of the show. Hes one of my favourite in the comics but least favourite in the show.

I would be cool, if it ends up being Molly. She knew had to take care of herself. You remember when she encounter Lee, she was doing some ninja style moves.

What Languages Did Jesus Speak? - Creation Moments
John 7:35b: "…will He go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?"
What languages did Jesus speak during His ministry on Earth? Of course He spoke Aramaic, since that was the common language of the people He taught. When He read from Isaiah in the synagogue in Nazareth, He would have read it in Hebrew. But did Jesus also speak Greek?
Greek was in common use in Israel in the First Century. Greek inscriptions are frequently found in Jewish graves from the period. This is evidence that many Jews knew the Greek language. Some scholars point to some of the terms in Jesus' recorded sayings that have Greek origins; however, their arguments are not universally accepted.
But Jesus did grow up in Nazareth, which is in "Galilee of the Gentiles," where Greek as well as Aramaic would have been spoken. Nazareth was only an hour's walk from Sepphoris, where one would have to speak Greek to do business. As scholars point out, Jesus was educated and as a carpenter, He was a skilled artisan. He would have to speak Greek to deal with customers. At one point His disciples wondered whether He would go to teach the Gentiles, a task that would require Greek.
Language is a gift of God. It is through this gift that God gives us the greater gift of His saving Gospel which assures us of the forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ.

There wasn't a bigger penalty flag thrown in Week 11 than the one thrown after 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks hit Saints quarterback Drew Brees in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game in New Orleans.
The officials ruled Brooks hit Brees in the neck on the play, which resulted in a fumble that the 49ers recovered for what briefly seemed like icing on the cake of a road win. The penalty gave the Saints a first down, which allowed them to tie the game with a field goal and helped set the stage for their eventual 23-20 win.
The 49ers protested the call vehemently on the field, which is understandable given how costly the penalty was and how many of us remember a time when a hit like that wasn't a penalty. That was a different time, however, and Brooks protested those changes and other things after the game.
"I didn't hit him with my hand or my helmet," Brooks said, via the San Francisco Chronicle. "I basically bear-hugged him. That's just how football is played. I think this s— is b——-. Football, the way they call stuff these days, it's watered down. It ain't real no more. … "It was at home. It was Drew Brees. And maybe the officials were for the New Orleans Saints a little bit more than the 49ers. I think it's B.S., man."
Brooks isn't the only person who feels that way, but the rules governing hits on quarterbacks aren't going to go anywhere.

Can nature help us face climate change? This scoping study by IUCN Caucasus Cooperation Centre aims to better identify the role of protected areas in climate change action and show concrete opportunities for natural, cost-effective solutions to climate change in Georgia.
Protected areas play a vital role in contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation, both on global and local scales. However, their role in responding to climate change is currently insufficiently recognized in the development of national strategies and policies in Georgia.
This national scoping study has been conducted in the framework of the project "Natural Solutions to Climate Change: the Role of Protected Areas" funded by GIZ, German International Cooperation, on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU). Relevant IUCN guidelines have been compiled, adapted and used to train national and local protected area staff, as well as other relevant stakeholders.

HANOVER, N.H. – The Yale baseball team got 5.2 strong innings from freshman left-hander Christopher O'Hare at Dartmouth on Monday, but a 10th-inning single by Chris O'Dowd gave the host Big Green a 3-2 victory in game two of the Ivy League doubleheader. Earlier in the day, Dartmouth took game one at Red Rolfe Field in Hanover, N.H. by a score of 8-2. Junior outfielder Andrew Moore had three hits and two RBI in the twinbill for the Bulldogs.
With the sweep, Yale falls to 16-17-1 overall and 3-9 in the Ivy League. Dartmouth, the defending Ancient Eight champion, improves to 17-12 overall and 8-4 in league play.
O'Hare allowed just five hits and one earned run in his 5.2 innings of work. He struck out five batters, hit a batter and did not issue a walk. Junior left-hander Brook Hart started game one for the Elis.
Offensively, Moore went 3-for-7 with an RBI in each end of the double-dip. Junior infielders Trey Rallis and Gant Elmore each drove in one run for the Bulldogs, and senior Trygg Larsson-Danforth had a hit in each game to extend his hit streak to 13 contests.
In game one, Dartmouth struck first with two runs in the bottom of the second inning. Jim Wren walked and Jeff Onstott singled to start the inning, but Hart induced a 4-6-3 double play from Ennis Coble to get two fast outs. A fluke hit plated Wren from third, however, as a groundball by Zack Bellenger deflected off of Hart and landed harmlessly on the turf of Red Rolfe Field to score the game's first run. Jason Brooks followed with an RBI triple to score Bellenger and give the home team a 2-0 lead.
Those two runs would be the only earned tallies against Hart, but poor Yale fielding allowed Big Green to open up a 6-0 advance with four unearned runs in the third frame. After Jake Carlson walked and Chris O'Dowd reached on a dropped fly ball, a sacrifice bunt attempt by Joe Sclafani turned into a base hit that loaded the bases with none out. Two runs then scored on a groundball to first base, as an errant throw on a double-play attempt resulted in Yale getting no outs on the play. After Hart struck out Onstott for the first out of the inning, a nearly identical groundball to first base again bore no outs as Rallis failed to handle the throw by Larsson-Danforth. A Bellenger RBI double then scored two runs as Dartmouth closed the book on Hart and jumped out to a more comfortable 6-0 lead.
Senior right-hander Joe Castaldi came on in relief of Hart and held Dartmouth scoreless for the next 2.2 frames, but the Bulldogs were unable to get anything going offensively off of Big Green hurler Kyle Hendricks. The home team would tack on two more runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to claim an 8-0 lead with Yale down to its final three outs.
Larsson-Danforth led off the inning with a double, his team-leading 13th two-bagger of the season, but was cut down on a fielder's choice groundball by Kolmar. Moore followed with a double of his own to score Kolmar and spoil the shutout bid, and freshman centerfielder Cam Squires then dropped down a bunt single to put runners on the corners with two out. Rallis then hit the Bulldogs' third double of the inning- a shot down the left field line that scored Moore- but Hendricks would allow nothing further as he got Elmore to ground out to finish off the 8-2, complete game victory.
Hart (2-3) allowed two earned runs on six hits over the first 2.1 innings of the contest to take the loss for Yale. Four of the seven outs he recorded came via the strikeout, and he also walked two batters. Castaldi was effective in relief, allowing two runs on four hits in 3.2 innings out of the bullpen. The Yale captain struck out three batters and walked two.
Hendricks (2-4) scattered seven hits and two earned runs in the complete game win. He struck out five batters and, just as Robert Young did yesterday in his complete game win, did not issue a walk.
Yale would take its first lead of the weekend in game two, getting on the board with a run in the third inning. Rallis started the offense with a one out single, and senior outfielder Stephen Miehls followed with a double. Elmore then slapped a groundball to the second base, which allowed Rallis to race home and give the Bulldogs a 1-0 advantage.
The Bulldogs struck again in the fourth inning, courtesy of an RBI single by Moore. Sophomore catcher Ryan Brenner singled to get aboard and was replaced at first base by sophomore outfielder Charlie Neil on a fielder's choice. Neil then stole second and came around to score on Moore's base knock.
O'Hare took a perfect trip through the Dartmouth's lineup to start the game, but the top of the order produced a run in its second turn at-bat. Carlson led off the bottom of the fourth with a double, and O'Dowd was then hit by a pitch. Sclafani followed with a single through the left side that scored Carlson to cut the lead to 2-1. O'Hare avoided further damage, however, as he got Wren to ground into a 6-4-3 double play and struck out Onstott to retire the side.
Dartmouth would threaten to tie the game in the sixth inning, as Carlson led off with a single. O'Dowd then dropped down a sacrifice bunt, which saw Carlson hustle all the way around to third base with one down. O'Hare stayed in the game to strike out switch-hitting Joe Sclafani, and then was replaced by senior right-hander Chris Finneran. Finneran issued a walk while pitching cautiously to dangerous hitter Jim Wren, but then got Onstott to pop up to Rallis to leave the potential tying run standing on third base.
After Finneran struck out the side in the seventh, the senior walked pinch-hitter Sam Bean to start the bottom of the eighth. Bean moved to second on a sacrifice bunt and then took third on a single by O'Dowd. This time, the heart of the lineup delivered as Sclafani singled home Bean to tie the game at 2-2. Finneran was then replaced by senior right-hander Robert Gruber, who got Wren to ground into a double play to maintain the deadlocked score.
The 2-2 score would hold until the 10th inning, with Bean singling with one out as the potential winning run off of sophomore right-hander Greg Lyons, who had pitched a perfect ninth for Yale. A walk to Carlson moved Bean into scoring position, and O'Dowd then singled through the left side to plate the walk-off game-winning run in a 3-2 Dartmouth victory.
Lyons (1-3) allowed two hits and one earned run in 1.1 innings of relief to take the loss for Yale. Finneran gave up one run in 1.2 innings and Gruber threw just two pitches in a scoreless 0.2 out of the bullpen.

Movie Poster Madness: "We Had Faces Then" edition
8 comments:
And what an amazing rack it is. I remember the David Letterman show where she talked about how she has a name for each one.
Anywhos, funny to see all those posters from horror movies during the 90's-early 00's that all look the same. The recent one for The House on Sorority Row reminded me of these types of poster 'art'.

I agree with Carl, though you will always know exactly what time period these films were released by the poster (f)art.
Even before I read your knockers comment, Pax, the first thing I saw was that nice set that Jennifer Love Spewitt has! That sure is smart advertising!

I kinda liked this style of posters at that time. Not that they are good, but you could see for miles away that there was a slasher/horror/something similar on it's way to the local cinema.
I never cared of posters anyway, so for me it was just a good and lazy way to check out the new thrillers :)
H20 is still one of the finest modern slashers every. Seriously. And "I still know..." was one of the most entertaining cheese-slashers ever.

Even the non-genre posters of this era looked like this, the "Big Head" approach that assumes that audiences are so dumb that they won't go see anything unless the stars are featured as unambiguously as they can possibly be. Go back and look at everything Travolta was in during this period - they all look alike! Slowly, posters are becoming creative again as the power of stars to open pics is waning of late...
