text: The Vibe wiki last edited by Helsink on 05/18/14 03:41PM View full history OriginPaco, a young Puerto Rican was a breakdancer with the mutant ability to cause strong vibrational waves. Vibe joined the Justice League's new line-up when Aquaman decided to re-vamp the team, allowing truly "dedicated" round-the-clock members.New 52Francisco "Cisco" Ramon was the youngest of three brothers, during a game between the brothers, Cisco stepped into a boom tube created by Darkseid. Without thinking, his oldest brother, Armando pulled his brother out of the boom tube at the cost of his own life making him the first civilian killed by the Darkseid invasion while their middle brother, Dante couldn't help but watch. The process left Cisco's body alter allowing him to create not only seismic vibrations but also to be able to sense beings from other dimensions, even as small as an insect. He kept his powers a secret over the next five years helping people as he could. Thanks to his powers there wasn't any type of recording device digital or photographic that could capture his face or identity. He was eventually followed by a member of A.R.G.U.S., Agent Dale Gunn under the orders of Amanda Waller, who offered him the chance to kill the same Parademon that took his brother's life. Although he kills it and agrees to cooperate as to becoming Vibe and a founding member of the Justice League of America, it is later revealed neither Gunn nor his superior were sure of whether this Parademon was the same Parademon that attacked and killed Armando Ramon. He later begins to question his role after a fight with Kid Flash.CreationAt the time when Vibe was created, the comics industry was being dominated primarily by titles featuring teenage superheroes (such as the X-Men or the Teen Titans.) It was thus decided to redesign the Justice League of America and to give them a similar roster. Vibe was one of three new teenage characters introduced to the team in the same single issue which served as the first origin of all three (the other two were Steel and Gypsy). His Break-dancing motif was also influenced by the popularity of the fad at the time.Major Story ArcsAlthough a young and relatively inexperienced hero, Vibe and the rest of the Justice League at the time (which was mostly filled with similarly inexperienced characters) did manage to gain a degree of respectability in defeating certain supervillains, including the Cadre and Despero. However Vibe was not with the Justice League of America long before he was killed by one of Professor Ivo's androids, becoming the first Justice League member to be killed in battle. Paco had left behind many extended family members, along with a little brother by the name of Armando with similar powers who goes by the names Reverb and Hardline , even working for Booster Gold 's onetime super team the Conglomerate.He was resurrected as a Black Lantern in James Robinson's JLA Blackest Night story arc.Post -FlashpointCurrent EventsCisco was approached by Dale Gunn who took him to the location of a Parademon and told him it was the same one that had killed his brother. In a fit of rage, he blew up the house the Parademon was in and accidentally killed it. Agent Gunn later convinced him to take the role of Vibe and a founding member of the Justice League of America to fight Barry Allen if the team ever needed to take on the Justice League.Vibe was later sent to battle Bart Allen as training for his expected battle with Barry Allen. He was briefly able to deprive Bart of his connection to the Speed Force, showing that he would actually be able to effect Flash if they fought. After noticing Bart wasn't as bad as he'd expected Cisco began to doubt the role he played with A.R.G.U.S.On his third mission, Vibe was sent in after Gypsy. Gypsy was able to use her powers to convince the other A.R.G.U.S members that she was Batman and that Superman was dealing with Gypsy inside a building. Vibe however, saw through her illusion and attacked her. After, Amanda Waller ordered A.R.G.U.S soldier's to fire at will on Gypsy after she'd already been surrounded. Vibe attacked them. In retaliation, Waller ordered the Suicide Squad to capture him and Gypsy. Gypsy turned herself and Vibe invisible in attempt to escape from them, however, Deadshot had been informed of this ability and turned his lens to a specific spectrum that allowed him to see them and shoot Gypsy in the shoulder. Cisco blasted Deadshot and Harley Quinn and in attempt to stop King Shark from eating Gypsy. Vibe was attacked by Crowbar who had been specifically assigned by Amanda Waller. However, Vibe used so much energy against him that his crowbar couldn't contain it and he disappeared. Due to the amount of energy he used, Cisco was weakened and easily knocked out by Deadshot. He was then put in The Circus. Like a savage.Dante, Cisco's older brother, alongside Agent Gunn, was able to enter A.R.G.U.S and break Vibe out. However, before they could escape Dante was shot in the back. In retaliation Vibe released all the other prisoners in The Circus. His energy eventually broke the walls of reality allowing Rupture to enter their dimension. A battle ensued between Rupture and Vibe. Rupture is revealed to be Vibe's dead brother Armando. Gypsy revealed how Hardline, also known as Rupture, was known by her people. Rupture then took Vibe and Gypsy back to Gypsy's dimension.

The 2010 Paris Auto Show brought us many concepts, but while the Lotus five-year plan has since fizzled to nothing and the Renault Dezir is only planned to be chopped up and used for inspirational parts, Audi is pushing forward with a production version of the Quattro concept . That's right, the Quattro has been given the green light for limited production which should be ready for the 2015 model year.
The production Quattro will be based on Audi's latest aluminum spaceframe chassis with a body built in carbon fiber-reinforced plastic. It will weigh in at about 660 lbs less than the RS5 as seen on the prototypes already testing. It will also feature a wheelbase that has been reduced by 150 mm and an interior featuring seats made from forged composites.
We don't know exactly what will be used under the hood of the sports car, but the concept version is powered by a turbocharged 2.5-liter five-cylinder attached to a classic six-speed gearbox. The engine delivers a total of 402 HP and 354 pound-feet of torque. The sprint from 0 to 60 mph is made in just 3.9 seconds, while top speed is of course limited to 155 mph. Hopefully we will see either this configuration or something a bit more powerful on the production Quattro.
UPDATE 08/24/2012: Sources have told AutoBild that the future Audi Quattro Coupe (internally known as the Q35) will only feature small bits of inspiration from the Quattro Concept displayed at the 2011 Paris Auto Show. Other than that, the four-seater, two door sports car will have short overhangs, a flat roof, LED headlights and taillights, 20" wheels, and some hood-mounted air vents inspired by the original Quattro. In terms of power, the Quattro will feature a supercharged 2.5L five-cylinder engine mated to a dual clutch S-tronic transmission. This engine will produce 380 HP and send the Quattro from 0-62 mph in a little over four seconds.
AutoBild is predicting that the Audi Quattro will debut in March 2013 to coincide with the original Quattro's 35th anniversary, hence the internal Q35 designation. It will be priced somewhere between the Audi TT and the Audi R8, which will fill in the gap nicely with the $38,650 and $114,200 price tags of the aforementioned models.

lokal (win) -> remote (linux), problems
9 March 2011 at 10:09am
i wanted to try out the process of moving my dev environment(windows7) to the life one (Debian).
Everything seemed to work, after i:
- made a clean install on the life system
- made a db dump and _manually_ changed all the lower case table names to CamelCase and imported this to the new database
- uploaded all the files i had changed (not much, mainly from theme, tutorial)
-> but after i had done this i was not able anymore to login to the backend, with some error, that jquery was not defined.
I then repeated the process, but this time i moved the silverstripe.tar.gz to my linux environment and extracted it there.
I made a clean install and everything works - i can login to the cms backend. But so far i have not uploaded anything from my windows environment.
I have seen that some very old threads (3 years ago..) were dealing with something similar issues,
there is a patch for the mysql problem http://open.silverstripe.org/ticket/2476 (I'll look into this and see if i can get it to work --> there has to be a better way than manually changing the db dump, everytime i want to move something to my live environment)
as to the other problem - i'm totally lost, as to why the admin interface is not working

Check to see what files are being loaded in the CMS, if your site is in live mode it could be using a combined file for the CMS which stores all the javascript. Try reloading the admin section with ?flush=all&isDev=1 to clear any combined files which could be broken.
Re: lokal (win) -> remote (linux), problems
9 March 2011 at 10:44pm
Thank you very much for the answer. Indeed i had developed the site locally in dev mode. so i edited that in the version on my linux server (mysite/_config.php)
// The environment type can be dev, test, or live
Now it seems to work - but only in Dev mode, soon as i switch to life or test the admin interface won't load again.
You mentioned i should check what files are loaded in the cms --> where can i do that?
(seems to be a pretty major problem to me, if the admin interface won't load at all, because of one configuration change, and i wonder/fear if there could be other situations when this could happen - other than that i'm still very impressed with this CMS and would love to be able to use it in my next project)

This would inicate to me it's an issue around the combined files (which is pretty common) delete the combined files in assets/_combined_files and reload the admin or disable it completely using this in your config
Re: lokal (win) -> remote (linux), problems
20 March 2011 at 4:41am
@Willr: Thank you very much for the answer! I'm sorry it took me so long to answer
i tried this now and so far it seems to work
@biapar: i don't really understand which files you are referring to -.-
Re: lokal (win) -> remote (linux), problems
24 March 2011 at 5:09am
I just went back to the other problem, MySQL CamelCase between Windows and Linux:
in my my.cnf: i have set lower_case_table_names = 2
and I'm using Version 2.4.5 of SilverStripe so it seems the patch from http://open.silverstripe.org/ticket/2476 has already been integrated. But whenever i run dev/build?flush=1 after imported the mySQL dump - nothing happenes. My db also uses backticks so that can't be the reason why it doesn't work i guess.
The last person to comment the fix said:
"...Seems that 'checkAndRepair' tables ONLY works when you install silverstripe NOT after you have installed it... following?
This means that I have to copy my local 'windows' database BEFORE I install silverstripe, it dosn't work if you install and then copy the database... Is this correct? Its a bit misleading with Blynx's fix and post as he says you can just run a dev/build?flush=1 but doing that won't work if you have already installed...."
Is this really true?
and does this mean that it i have a development environment on Windows and productive Server on Linux that i always have to change the DB Code by hand, anyways? (ok, well i guess i could try to write myself a php script that does that)

If you wipe the database before importing your local copy, it should fix the case on the tables. If you don't, the tables sapphire looks for are already there.

In his State of the Union address earlier this year, President Obama called for Congress to raise the federal minimum wage to $9 an hour by 2015, with automatic adjustments upward to reflect increasing costs of living going forward. But with the current level of $7.25 an hour, the increase would amount to an almost 25% jump in the costs that minimum-wage employers have to pay, raising concerns about potential impacts on businesses and on employment among lower-paid workers. Although proponents argue that boosting the minimum wage stimulates overall economic growth by putting more money in the hands of workers, opponents respond that minimum-wage increases result in reduced hours for workers because of the cost pressures they put on employers.
One interesting fact in the minimum-wage debate is that many states already pay more than the federal minimum wage. Let's look at the six states that pay the highest minimum wage, according to figures as of the beginning of 2013 from the Department of Labor and more recent updates from various legislative sources.
6. Illinois
Illinois pays workers a minimum of $8.25 an hour, but with several exceptions. Employers can pay workers under 18 as little as $7.75, while tipped employees are subject to an even lower potential minimum wage of $4.95, representing the allowed 40% credit that employers are allowed to claim on tip income. Proposals to lift the minimum wage to $10 an hour over the next four years have raised controversy, especially in light of disparities already between Illinois and surrounding states that opponents say put the state at a competitive disadvantage with its neighbors.
5. Connecticut
Connecticut's minimum wage is also $8.25 an hour, but it treats its tipped employees slightly better than Illinois, giving them a minimum of $5.69. Last week, though, the Connecticut Senate passed a measure to increase the wage to $8.70 next January and to $9 by 2015, which was a compromise from a more aggressive earlier bill that would have sent the minimum wage to $9.75 within two years. The bill goes to the state House for debate.
4. Nevada
The $8.25 minimum wage that Nevada pays comes with an interesting twist: Companies that offer health insurance benefits to their employees are allowed to pay $1 less in hourly wages. Although a referendum in 2006 required the state to index its base wage to inflation, the wage has stayed the same since 2010. Another perk: Tipped employees have to receive the same minimum wage as other workers. That's a big cost for Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS ) , Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ: WYNN ) , and other companies with casinos in the state that might otherwise be able to pay many of their tip-earning workers less.
3. Vermont
In Vermont, minimum-wage workers receive $8.60 an hour, with amounts rising for inflation each year. Tipped employees, however, take a big haircut, with minimums as low as $4.10 applying to occupations where tips are paid. Vermont's unemployment rate recently fell to 4%, the lowest since before the 2008 recession, which wage-increase proponents argue is evidence against the idea that high minimum wages automatically mean higher unemployment.
2. Oregon
In Oregon, the minimum wage is $8.95 an hour, with wages having increased along with the rate of inflation for a decade. Oregon's high minimum wage was specifically cited in testimony before Congress recently, as a National Restaurant Association representative noted that the average number of workers per restaurant in the state has decreased steadily since the minimum wage started rising at a faster rate than the federal minimum wage.
1. Washington
Finally, Washington currently tops the nation with a $9.19-per-hour minimum wage. The wage is indexed to the federal Consumer Price Index. Employers can pay workers who are 14 or 15 years old just 85% of the prevailing minimum wage. Even with the top figure in the country, however, a report from the Alliance for a Just Society found that a single adult would need to earn $16.13 an hour in the state to support basic household needs.
What the minimum wage means for investors
The minimum-wage debate often leads investors to focus on McDonald's (NYSE: MCD ) and its fast-food peers, Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT ) and similar retailers, and other businesses where relatively low wages are an integral part of the viability of their business models. Yet many workers at those businesses earn more than the minimum wage, making increases largely moot. Moreover, the fact that McDonald's, Wal-Mart, and similar businesses maintain profitable operations in Washington, Oregon, and other higher minimum-wage-rate states suggests that companies can make adjustments to remain successful -- albeit perhaps at some cost to investor profits.
With the House of Representatives having rejected in March a Democratic push to raise the minimum wage to $10.10, the idea of a higher minimum wage is likely to be on hold for the foreseeable future. Meanwhile, these states will act as case studies to give evidence of the impact of higher wages on state economies.
Of course, some employers have expanded overseas, benefiting from lower labor costs. For instance, Las Vegas Sands has successfully capitalized on a booming Chinese economy, with its big bet on Macau gaming about a decade ago that's paid off in spades. The company is now looking to spread its empire further, but will it be able to replicate its prior successes? Learn about all these opportunities, and the risks they pose, in our premium report on Las Vegas Sands. Be sure to claim your copy today by clicking here.

Buy it! The quality is awesome. I bought it because I thought it was cute on one of the trend looks page. It's a little short, but super cute. I love the faux leather fabric because it helps the skirt retain its shape really well when you're moving around (but it does get wrinkly when you're sitting on it). I bought the tan skirt. November 13, 2013
Buttery Soft Love this skirt! Super soft, great quality. Perfect for the office, or a fun night out. I would totally recommend it! Perfect for the winter! November 7, 2013
Very Cute! Size up! Love this skirt! Very high quality. I agree with previous review that you need to size up for length. I found it to be far too short in my normal size. October 30, 2013
Too short Too short for me and I'm only 5.0. Material was not my fav too light or cheap looking October 30, 2013
Cute and Quality! This is a very well-made skirt! Color is true, and quite versatile. Only thing to watch out for is the midsection. It's a bit more trumpet than A-line so it may show a bit more of the pesky midsection "pouch" if you have one. Definitely a worthwhile purchase overall! October 30, 2013
Cute Skirt! The skirt is cuter in real life than online. I can't wait to wear it...could totally dress it up or down. I'm 114, 5'1" usually wear between a 2 and a 4. The 4 in this skirt fit perfectly. It was a tad wrinkled when it arrived in the mail but I just turned it inside out and steam ironed it. Presto the wrinkles disappeared October 30, 2013
Favorite skirt Been looking around for a skater style skirt in leather material and discovered it here. The limited is cut a bit larger so since I have a small waist I ordered a 6 and it was perfect it wasn't too short and I'm 5'8 with a very curvy bottom and it wasn't too tight around my waist and it has a cute flare style to it. I brag about the limited ever chance I get the clothing here is the best you won't be disappointed. October 30, 2013
Amazing!!! This skirt is my favorite winter piece I own. It is a great length, the faux leather is a great material. The color is beautiful. This is a must have item for your winter wardrobe. October 23, 2013

They aren't too big to serve us efficiently, and they aren't too small to lack bandwidth. They are a good fit for us.
What distinguishes them from most of their competitors is this sense of thoughtfulness; they aren't cranked up to make every dispute the next coming of the Civil War.
They make sure to really understand whatever situation is presented and do not generalize our needs. Their attention to detail and follow up sets them apart.
In my interactions with Trenam Kemker over 25 years, I have reflected back and said, 'I made the right choice in retaining them'. Their creativity, professionalism and attention is unsurpassed and it permeates within the law firm.
They are more than a law firm, they have become an extension of our Board. Trenam Kemker is a real business partner helping us grow our business.

I'm a veteran risotto maker, and this was one of the best to date. Sumptuous.
Vidalia Onion Risotto with Feta Cheese
Photo: Howard L. Puckett; Styling: Connie Formby
This fusion risotto from our June 1995 issue incorporates tangy Greek feta cheese and Georgia's sweet Vidalia onions with Italian Arborio rice. The vegetable broth adds a refreshing twist to the dish which traditionally calls for beef stock. Serve immediately, or it may lose its creaminess.

Recipe: A Modestly-Sized Cake with Lemon, Walnuts, and Chocolate Chunks
A couple weeks ago I asked you what kind of cake I should make in a new cake pan from IKEA. Well, we had a couple guests over Saturday night, and I had a chance to use the pan for the first time. Here's the recipe: a simple, modestly-sized cake that took literally 5 minutes to whip up in the mixer.
I based this on the basic yellow cake recipe that Susie shared in this post. She mentioned that the crumb of this cake seemed a little coarse, so I added a bit of cream to make it softer. I also threw in handfuls of some cupboard staples I had on hand: lemon zest, walnuts, and chopped chocolate. There was just enough batter to make a shallow, modestly-sized cake in my new IKEA pan, and this amount will also fit well in a regular 9-inch layer cake pan.
The result was a simple, sweet, and deliciously-textured cake! It was actually better the next day, when the lemon flavor really bloomed. It was nutty, chocolately, and lemony, with a wonderfully crisp and melting outer edge. It didn't anything more than a dusting of powdered sugar.
A Modestly-Sized Cake with Lemon, Walnuts, and Chocolate Chunks
1 9-inch cake layer
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cream
2 lemons, zested
2/3 cup chopped walnuts
2/3 cup chopped chocolate
Heat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9-inch cake pan with baking spray of butter.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until soft and creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and continue beating until well combined. Mix in the cream. Stir in the lemon zest, walnuts, and chocolate, and spread in the baking pan. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.

FAMU forges research, development partnership with TLB Enterprises, United Arab Emirates
In partnership with TLB Enterprises Group Holding, a delegation of Florida A&M University (FAMU) officials and researchers participated in the World Future Energy Summit held in Abu Dhabi, the capital and second largest city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The trip marked the official launch of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between FAMU and TLB, which will facilitate an ongoing relationship with UAE government officials and leaders in academia. This relationship will allow FAMU to offer training, expertise, research and development in an array of disciplines, including: environmental, natural and pharmaceutical sciences and engineering.
FAMU delegates include: Rodner Wright, interim provost and vice president for academic affairs; Dr. Ken Redda, professor and interim vice president for research; Dr. Yaw Yeboah, dean of the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and Dr. Robert Taylor, dean and director of land grant programs at the College of Agriculture and Food Sciences.
Terence Bolden, the president of TLB, a black-owned consulting company operating in the UAE, hosted the delegation.
"The FAMU visit provides the opportunity for both the university and TLB Enterprises Group Holding to fulfill its partnership goal of adding substantive value to the United Arab Emirates as professional service providers," Bolden said.
He continued, "It is our vision to do this by combining the strengths of our organizations to address substantial human need issues like environmental agriculture, waste to energy, clean water and educational services. We are excited about this historic visit and look forward to the value and benefit it will produce for all parties involved."
Redda echoed Bolden's sentiments.
"This trip is important for FAMU, TLB and the host country (UAE) to lay out the groundwork for concrete engagement in promoting education, research and development," Redda said. "Our expectations for this partnership are to also further explore the current and prospective needs and priorities of the UAE region, to share FAMU's expertise in these processes relevant to the UAE area and to interact with the main stakeholders in the UAE."
According to Redda, the delegation hopes to utilize the trip to further its understanding and appreciation of the culture, language and best practices of the UAE environment.
"FAMU wants to pursue the possibilities of future funding for the proposed MOU-driven projects," Redda said.

Price included continental breakfast, Thai dinner discounted and very good although portions a bit small, but all Thai meals seem to be that way. In thailand.

Over 700 finance terms, Shmooped to perfection.
A growth company... grows. There are shrinkage companies, think: Buggy whip makers after cars were invented (and this doesn't include the Castro District of San Francisco or The Combat Zone in Boston). A core element of growth companies is that they take money that they would normally give back to shareholders in the form of dividends and instead spend it on inventing and developing new products, line extensions, acquisitions and other ways of expanding their footprint or pricing power.

[resolved] Activity Stream not displaying sitewide forum post updates, also not displaying activity
Hello everyone, this is my first post and I am having some issues with the activity stream.
I installed the sitewide forums instead of using group forums. When creating new forum posts or replying to forum posts these do not show up on the activity stream even if you filter on the option to show forum posts. mentions also do not show up on the stream when posting to the forums
Blog posts show up on the activity stream, but the comments do not even though it is an option in the filter. Mentions also do not show up on the activity stream as well when you comment on a blog post.
I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but i assumed that all activity would show up on the activity stream based on what the filter shows on the drop down. Here is my testing url.
my activity stream is the home page, and the support tab is my forum.
Thank you for any help,

Nothing is more basic than having access to healthy food, yet more than 345,000 central Marylanders are food insecure. United Way of Central Maryland's Access to Healthy Food Initiative is a multi-year program that aims to increase access to healthy food by at least 1.5 million pounds each year. Thanks to generous support from our donors, we've surpassed our goal and increased access to healthy food in central Maryland by 7.4 million pounds within the first 27 months of the initiative. Much progress has been achieved – but there is still more to be accomplished.
Molly Shattuck, a 23-year supporter of UWCM and founder of Molly Shattuck Vibrant Living, brings her passion for a healthy lifestyle, family and volunteerism to the Access to Healthy Food Initiative, serving as our Healthy Food Ambassador. In this role, Molly is creating awareness around the issue of food insecurity across central Maryland by speaking to businesses and other organizations about the importance of the Healthy Food Initiative, leading educational volunteer events (like healthy food drives and gleaning events at local farms), as well as playing a major role in fundraising.

Expand sourcing of healthy, affordable food for low-income individuals in central Maryland by at least 1.5 million pounds each year and expand infrastructure so that people have more consistent access to it.
We aim to source more healthy food locally. This includes growing (contract growing, farm expansion and urban farming) and gleaning.
With so many people in need, getting the food to them quickly is critical. But we also focus on keeping that food nutritious and safe as long as possible through proper transportation, refrigeration and storage.
Nothing else matters if the people in need can't get the food and don't know what to do with it. To improve access and affordability of food sources, we support after-school meal programs, virtual supermarkets, access to public benefits and so much more.
|Percentage of the state's overall "food insecure" who live in central Maryland.

|Percentage of central Maryland farmers' markets that accept food stamps.
|Average Maryland FSP (food stamps) benefit per week/per person.

Sourcing and distributing 1.5 million pounds of healthy food each year requires the help of many. Donations are a big part of making it possible.
It's easier than you think and the impact is huge. Small ways, big ways, there are tons of ways to volunteer.
Join our coalition of businesses, organizations and schools and give healthy.

Patrick Holford and Dr Andrew Wakefield's Discredited Findings: Part 2
Patrick Holford is a staunch supporter of Dr Andrew Wakefield and recently set out his case as to why we should likewise support him. Patrick Holford claims to have remarkable insight into the causation of autism and how to "bring them back" when children are on the autistic spectrum. He suggests that there is hard evidence that links MMR and autism.
Wakefield's claims about the inflamed and diseased guts of the children in his original Lancet study have been shown to be unfounded.
But what about those measles antibodies in the cerebro-spinal fluid and the gut tissue of the children Wakefield examined? Whatever significant problems there may be with the rest of his work, surely this is the crux of the matter.
Yes, the findings concerning the measles antibodies are significant, albeit, not in a way that most people would admire. And here we pass to one of the most alarming and distressing aspects of this whole affair; something that has been known for some time but about which Patrick Holford is silent. Those antibodies were never there.
The account of those (now) infamous PCR samples that 'proved' the existence and persistence of the measles antibodies in the children's samples, along with the issues discussed below and in part 1 is why a lawyer for the US Govt. Health and Human Services Dept. recently made this remarkable comment in his concluding statements for the first part of the Autism Omnibus hearings in the US. The MMR-autism case has no plausible or verifiable science to support it.
It's at best speculation, idle speculation. Now, at worst--at worst--it's a contrivance. It's a contrivance that's been developed and articulated and promoted by its chief proponent, and that's Andrew Wakefield. He promoted it for financial gain. Either way it's not science.What about those samples, the ones with the measles RNA?
pgs 28-9: Day 12 Transcript of Cedillo v. Secretary of Health and Human Services (pdf)
Orac has written an excellent account of the difference between real scientists and crank scientists. By liberal referral to the leading PCR authority, Dr Bustin, we learn precisely why we can have no confidence at all in the Unigenetics lab that reported many of these findings.
Now, here's where Dr. Bustin was so devastating to the claim that MMR causes autism. Andrew Wakefield and Arthur Krigsman, who claimed to have replicated Wakefield's work and found measles virus RNA in the guts of autistic children, both used Professor John O'Leary's Unigenetics Laboratory in Ireland, and it was the Unigenetics lab whose results led to a paper by Uhlman et al and an as yet unpublished poster presentation by Walker et al, both claiming to find measles virus in the guts of autistic children.The irregularities were extraordinary and the whole of Dr. Bustin's testimony (pdf) is worth reading as a primer into how PCR can go horribly wrong.
I don't know why Patrick Holford still finds this an area of controversy and debate rather than acknowledging that there has been some bad science that has been roundly and repeatedly exposed. He mentions none of this in the theory of autism aetiology that he promotes in his books or websites. He promotes the existence of the measles antibodies in the gut and CSF as fact despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. The theoretical underpinning for his heavily promoted treatment programme relies upon the existence and persistence of these measles antibodies.
So, the Unigenetics lab returned suspect results and can not be relied upon but surely the original PCR results from the Royal Free Hospital are above reproach? No.
Dr Nick Chadwick started to work as a graduate student in Dr Wakefield's lab in the Royal Free Hospital in 1994. The lab started to focus on testing samples and tissue from autistic patients in 1996. Chadwick was responsible for processing the materials and looking for measles RNA. He reported that there were never any confirmed findings of measles RNA. The only positives that were obtained were rapidly shown to be false positives and he reported this. Chadwick's account has been known for some time; more than enough time for Patrick Holford to have addressed this issue. At the very least he should have referred to it when purporting to give his email list an overview of Wakefield's work and why we might consider signing that petition.
Chadwick's testimony to the Autism Omnibus hearings (pdf) was devastating.
pg 10Chadwick further reported that Wakefield had decided that it would be useful to send samples to Dr Kawashima's lab because he was also working on the detection of measles virus using another methodology. Chadwick discovered that there were serious and significant reporting errors from Kawashima's lab and that, yet again, the only positive results were subsequently shown to be false positives. He had concerns about contamination. He informed Wakefield of the problem with the Kawashima results. Chadwick's results also returned negative results, with every positive being subsequently shown to be a false positive.
Q [Y]ou personally tested while you were in Dr. Wakefield's lab gut biopsy material, CFS, PBMCs?
A Yes, that's right.
Q And all the results were either negative, or if they were positive it always turned out that they were false positives?
A Yes, that's correct.
Q Did you inform Dr. Wakefield of the negative results?
A Yes. Yes.
pg 12It is a remarkably serious step to request that your name is taken off a paper and should not be used in reference to data. The significance of this would be apparent to any researcher or scientist. Except, of course, to Patrick Holford, who does not mention any of this when instructing his readers in the role of MMR in the development of autism. Nor does he mention it when discussing the scientific rationale for his treatment programme for children on the autistic spectrum.
Q [D]uring your time on your Ph.D. research in Dr. Wakefield's lab you only obtained nine positive PCR results for measles. Every time you did that you sequenced them.
A That's correct, yes. We sent it off to a sequencing lab to be sequenced, and the data that came back showed that they were all false positive results.
Q Every positive result you got was a false positive?
A Yes...
[pg 12 cont. to pg 14]
Q [Y]ou state that you had reservations about the immunohistochemistry done to detect measles virus, specifically the use of an antibody from Porton Down?
A Yes, that's right. The antibody seemed to cross-react.
Experiments we did in the lab seemed to show that the antibody cross-reacted with bacterial proteins, which I think is an artifact of how the antibody was made, and that led us or led me to think that it may have been cross-reacting with bacteria in the gut of patients rather than measles virus.
Q Now, that would lead to contamination?
A Well, it would lead to a false positive result. Say for instance if the antibody was binding to something in the guts of these patients, it may well have been a bacteria rather than the measles virus.
Q Okay. Producing the false positives in those?
A Yes, that's correct.
Q You also state in your affidavit that you believe Dr Wakefield was aware of all your negative results when he submitted his paper "Ileal Lymphonodular Hyperplasia, Nonspecific Colitis and Pervasive Developmental Disorder," which was published in 1998 to the Lancet.
A Yes, that's correct.
Q You were working at the lab at that time, and you had actually published some articles with Dr. Wakefield on other subjects, hadn't you?
A Yes. Yes.
Q Why isn't your name on the paper I just referenced?
A Well, my name isn't on that because none of my data went into that paper.
There was a manuscript which did use some PCR data I think from Dr. Kawashima's lab, and I asked for my name to be taken off anything that was related to PCR data because I wasn't comfortable with the quality of the data.
Patrick Holford has not included any of this material when updating his publications or websites nor when writing his recent books. If he were to, perhaps he would have to acknowledge that there is no scientific foundation to his treatment programme which relies upon the findings of Wakefield.
Patrick Holford recently asked: Was Dr. Andrew Wakefield Right About the Link Between Autism, the Gut, Allergy and the MMR Vaccine?. He purported to give an overview:
If you are not sure, then please read on to find out what we know about autism, the gut, vaccinations and what food has to do with it.We do not know any of that: the science has been well and truly exposed. At best, Patrick Holford is outdated in his knowledge and it is past time that he updated it. Something he had ample opportunity to do before repeating these beliefs in recently published books.
Patrick Holford depends upon Wakefield's work to justify some of his entrepreneurial and charitable endeavours. He owes it to the people who rely upon him to revise his acceptance of Wakefield's science and findings. And people are guided by Patrick Holford when it comes to MMR. Petition signatory 4797 credits Patrick Holford with her daughter's decision not to vaccinate her children (she was previously no. 4805, there have been some alterations to the petition):
Thank God my daughter used her judgement and did not have the MMR for her children. She based her decision on extensive research, most particularly 'What Doctors Don't Tell You' and Patrick Holford.Patrick Holford owes it to that woman to put together a better overview of the research that purports to find a link between MMR and autism: he may even owe it to her that he should strongly reconsider his position on a number of important matters.

Looking For Value in the Automobile Industry
Ash is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
On January 22, Ford (NYSE: F) will report their fiscal fourth quarter earnings. These earnings will mean a lot to how Ford enters 2013 and what the future of the company will become. Let's explore Ford and see if they are worth our investment dollar.
What's With That P/E?
Let's begin this Ford talk by getting the elephant out of the room. Ford's PE is not in the 2.8 range, that number came about because of a tax credit of $14.1-billion. We can reasonably expect that Ford won't be receiving $14-billion from the federal government every year, so let's just use the forward P/E of 8.8 for the remainder of the article.
Now, The Gears!
Ford is a worldwide automotive giant; their brands include Ford and Lincoln. Ford continues to expand upon their designs, features, and specifications in markets around the world in order to compete with General Motors (NYSE: GM), the world's luxury brands and the Japanese automakers.
At the helm of this American icon is Allan Mulally, former Vice President of Boeing. Mulally has been at Ford since 2006 and has done a lot to keep this company going on its path. Under Mulally's plan, Ford plan on expanding their development while also making the improvements required to increase profitability.
Financial Stats
Revenue growth at Ford is key. I believe in the ability of Mulally as CEO to make sure that as much revenue as possible is converted into profit for the shareholders. 2010 revenues at Ford were $128.95B and they increased to $136.26B in 2011. This year, revenues are currently at $97.83B and it is safe to assume that revenues will come in no less than $30B for the quarter giving us, at the very worst end of things, $128B in 2012 revenues.
Those wary of debt may wish to turn the other cheek when it comes to Ford. The company has a long-term debt to equity ratio of 3.82. If total debt is counted then the debt to equity ratio at Ford becomes an incredible 4.59. Ford may also take on some debt in the near future in order to pay-off the U.S. government for a 2009 loan (the loan is not due till 2022). If more debt is taken on then investors not too fond of government investment may be willing to jump back in.
Ford vs. GM
Ford and GM and the US's two biggest automobile companies and there isn't too much between them. GM does about $150B in revenue on their Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC brands while Ford will come in just a tad bit shy of that mark at around $130B.
There is no doubting that GM has a much nicer balance sheet than Ford with their significantly less debt. GM, in my opinion, has the advantage when it comes to innovation; they built the Volt before the market wanted electric cars. The Volt may be troublesome to GM in some ways but there is no doubting that they were innovative in nature when creating it.
Let's not leave Ford out in the dust though now, the company is trying its hardest to meet the 2025 CAFE standards (minimum 54.5MPG for every vehicle) before they even arrive. The company's Fusion manages 47 MPG and they're releasing newer vehicles each year that continue to surprise on their MPG ratings.
Both Ford and GM have to watch out for another American competitor in Tesla Motors (NASDAQ: TSLA). Tesla makes some great looking, high-end electric vehicles. These vehicles cater to those that typically buy Mercedes and BMWs but if they ever manage to bring vehicle cost down then they'll be impeding on the stomping grounds of Ford, and especially GM with the Volt.
All figures from Yahoo! Finance.
Keys to Winning for Ford
For Ford to win over GM, I think they would need to pay off the government loan, continue their strong showing in China, and work to keep up their strong sales in Europe, even if they economy takes a turn for the worst.
If Ford continues to put out great looking, reliable cars in Europe then they should be able to weather any potential crises that come from the continent. There are obviously some problems there now and it will take a team of great people, which Ford has, to keep the company going in the region even as countries face defaults, massive spending cuts, and huge unemployment rates.
In China, Ford is in a great position. For continued success, they must continue to tread lightly. Google and others have made the mistake of going against government wishes which resulted in the fall of their business in China. As long as Ford doesn't make too many mistakes there, they should be golden.
Ford will have to continue to be innovative both in the US market and the world's markets in order to post gains in profits and continue their companies' long history atop of the automobile world.
To Buy or not to Buy?
Ford is a risky play; I think that they have a good shot of increasing profits and hitting the $20 per share price point in 2014, especially if the economy fights back. I also believe that they have a good chance of lackluster performance as consumers go for BMWs, Audis, and Toyotas over Ford or Lincoln.
The company is priced fairly for a speculative play and if I had a more risky nature in my bones I would surely make an investment in Ford.

The Notwist- Close to the Glass
RIYL: Radiohead, ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of the Dead, Foals
Recommended Tracks:
Track 1- Signals
Track 3- Kong
Track 5- Casino
Track 7- 7-hour Drive
If you want to know what life in an Ataris game is like The Notwist's newest album, Close to the Glass, might be a good place to start.
The Notwist have been around since the late 1980s, but have been known to change their sound more than a little. The band has moved from Post-Hardcore early in their career to experimental electronic indie rock today.
As the first two tracks show, The Notwist aren't afraid to experiment more than a little with tonality. The first track sounds like something straight out of a Super Smash Bros. game with some airy vocals and dis-tonal synth flourishes.
But on the third track, "Kong," the band abandons their experimental side and dives into catchy, hook-laden indie rock. The track finds lead singer Markus Acher crooning, a little defeated but hopeful, "Are you coming in to drop us off in another spot?/ It's bliss cause I believe in this/ Cause I believe in this."
Unfortunately some of The Notwist's lyrics get lost in the air of the synths and spacy guitars, but they come through clear on the album's ballad, "Casino," where Acher sings, "After our life in the casino/ we know gambling is a joke/ but to say I'm not here for the money/ is just another word for broke."
It's easy to get lost in the overwhelming, full sound on Close to the Glass, but there's a pop song at the heart of each track. The album may not strike you on first listen, but like the most rewarding records, it get's more and more beautiful with each listen.

This didn't work for me as well as I had hoped. I have combination skin, so it's really just my forehead, nose and chin that gets oily. This cleanser dried out my cheeks so I don't think it was the best option. I did notice that it helped absorb oil in those areas and left my skin with a tighter feeling as well. The soap smells like licorice and sandalwood which I didn't like so much. If you have very oily acne-prone skin, this would probably work well for you. I won't buy again since it is too drying for me.
Coalface is incredible; provided: 1- you lather it up in your hands and do not directly rub the bar on your face. 2- if you plan on keeping this in the bathroom, keep it in a tin. I cut mine up into thin tiny bars. I actually prefer to use this in the shower! The activated charcoal perhaps? 3. moisturizing isn't a bad idea even for the most sensitive skin. I usually use sunblock instead.

This is an amazing exfoliator for girls with very oily skin. It's also amazing for fighting acne. It leaves your face and skin squeaky clean. The scent is kind of boring but not offensive. The main ingredient is black licorice extract and this ingredient is well known for brightening as well as exfoliating. I love this soap!

I was given a sample of this when I told the sweet LUSH worker that I had only skin. A little goes a long way - she gave me a decent chunk of it and it barely melts in your hands.
It's back which is kind of a turn off, and I'm not too keen on the smell, but it's a decent facial cleanser. It has a rougher texture to it, like little grains against your skin, so you have to be careful. It leaves your skin feeling squeaky clean, though, and smooth.
I can't comment on how it reduces oil because I only use it about once a week.
As a 48 year old that still has extremely oily skin this soap has fast become one of my favorite daily routine items for skincare! We don't have a LUSH store in my state and I stumbled across this cleanser in the store in Seattle and am loving it. I love that squeaky clean feel it leaves me with in the evening before i use my nighttime moisturizer, my skin is radiant and glowing and the few little areas of concern I had on my chin are gone! I don't find it too drying for my oily skin and it leaves me clean & radiant. Definite repurchase!! Just wish we had a store here in OKC!!

I've used it about a week and this become my fav facial cleanser. I have acne prone skin and oily/combo. This cleanser really controls my oil. Some ppl says it's drying..yep..the soap is only for oily skin if you have like dry or dry/combo skin this may not be the one. But for the ppl who suffer oil and break outs, this should be the one for you. It significantly reduced my break outs. I use two times a day. I feel nice, clean and soft everytime after i wash my face. I can see my skin looks more clearer and the skin texture changed. I used Grease Lightning after that. I just simply love this product..
I like the smell of it... I had to keep it in a soap container so it wouldn't melt or ruin the soap. For some reason whenever i use a face wash with "Coal" in it, It gets stuck in my pores and makes them noticeable. I liked it at first but now it's just a regular overpriced soap that makes my pores show.Will not repurchase...
I used this product for a couple weeks, and ended up not using it again.
My reasons?:
It's very drying, and I just found that it didn't work for my skin anymore!
I have now been using Lush Fresh Farmacy, and It's soo much better!
More reviews by defygravityelphie
I really, really love this cleanser. I love the smell, which I honestly did not know was licorice. I love the feel of my skin after I use it. It leaves my skin feeling smooth, and I usually have rather rough skin. After using this for only 3 days, I see a HUGE difference in the overall look of my skin. I like to take a facial cleansing brush (you can get one at Sephora for, like, 5 bucks), get it wet with warm water and swirl it around on top of the soap. Then I use the brush on my face, and it foams up really really well that way. If some of you are having an issue with the way the cleanser foams up, try it that way. That should make it way better.
Bought this for my boyfriend who has very oily skin. He gets pretty bad blackheads due to oil so I bought this for him. It works fairly well, the blackheads are smaller in size but it hasn't cleared his skin up completely. I use proactiv so now he's using that in the morning and the coal face at night.
Love the smell even though I'm not a fan of black licorice, he likes it too because it's not girly.
It lasts forever which makes it a good deal.
I use it on occasion when I'm lazy but for me it's too drying to use often as I have combination skin.

Variable Rate Interest Increases
For the most part, precision ag and variable rate application of inputs took off in the Midwest in a big way before the technology translated into tools that could be used successfully by cotton producers.
Aerial images of fields to identify variability in the soils, variable rate application rigs for applying such inputs as fertilizer, plant growth regulators and defoliants and yield maps that help identify whether what you're doing is or is not working on your farm are a few examples of the different types of technology that are being used in cotton operations today.
To refresh your memory about how cotton producers are using variable rate technology in the Southeast, go to www.cottonfarming.com and read the archived article by our Southeast editor Amanda Huber from the February 2010 issue.
The article is titled "Precision Ag Shows It Can Work In The Southeast," and a portion of the story specifically addresses variable rate application.
Here's what Jay Holder of Holder Ag Consulting in Ashburn, Ga., has to say on the subject.
"In the last five years, I have seen more interest in sampling by zone and even from producers who have their own trucks for variable rate applications," he says. "We are getting to where we can variable-rate nearly everything. I even know a producer who plans to use variable rate to plant his seed this year."
Holder says he also knows some producers who are planning to buy boom control technology to make variable spray applications.
"I don't know the cost of the equipment, but if you run across enough acres, then it will eventually save you money," he says.
Center Pivot VRI
Producers also are being encouraged to take another look at variable rate irrigation (VRI) with a center pivot. In years past, this type of technology had its challenges and was not considered economically feasible.
Recently, however, Valley Irrigation entered into an agreement with Computronics Holdings Ltd., manufacturer of the patented Farmscan Variable Rate Irrigation technology. The Farmscan 7000 VRI controller is commercially available as an "add-on" to a center pivot and touts a more affordable price.
Calvin Perry, with the University of Georgia, says the controller works with the center pivot to deliver water more efficiently. It uses the pressure from the main line of the pivot, so an air compressor is not needed as it was in the past.
Other improvements include easier installation, ruggedness, reliability and the use of USB memory sticks to move programs back and forth from a computer to the field.
In June, we polled our readers to gauge their interest in using today's variable rate technology to improve their bottom lines. After the votes were tallied, 39 percent say "Yes," 32 percent say "No," and 29 percent say "It depends."
One respondent says, in his opinion, the technology has the potential to be more helpful to producers as dealer education about the precision ag and variable rate application products they are selling becomes more prevalent.

It's been a busy summer for Morgan Rielly.
After being selected fifth overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 2012 NHL Draft, Rielly was selected to represent his country in the Canada/Russia Challenge and also competed in the Leafs' prospects camp.
At this point, the defenceman's focus is on preparing for what he hopes will be his first NHL training camp.
Despite the impending lockout, Rielly has been training as if there will be a camp and said he is hopeful that talks go well.
"I'm certainly hoping that the players come to an agreement," Rielly told Scott MacArthur on Mike Richards in the Morning on TSN Radio 1050. "I understand it's not quite that easy, but I've been training hard and been skating a lot, so I'm certainly prepared to have a camp, but I'm not sure if it's going to happen."
The whirlwind of the past few months has presented different challenges and opportunities, but Rielly is trying to take it all in stride.
"I'm certainly not trying to change as a person, I've just been trying to enjoy it and it has been pretty cool," Rielly said when TSN Radio 1050 caught up with him from the NHLPA's Rookie Showcase in Toronto this week. "I've been treated a bit different, but I'm still me and haven't changed a whole lot as a person."
Coming off a serious knee injury that caused him to miss the majority of the 2011-12 season with the Moose Jaw Warriors of the WHL, Rielly declared himself fully healthy and felt confident in the exhibition series against Russia.
"I feel good right now," Rielly said. "I was pretty happy to have a chance to play a couple of games over there and I've been training all offseason, so right now I'm healthy and I'm strong, so I feel good."
Getting a chance to compete at the Leafs' prospects camp, Rielly came away impressed at what Toronto's future has to offer. He said 2011 first-round pick Stuart Percy was among those that stood out to him.
"It was pretty cool to spend about a week out here with the prospects camp," Rielly said. "In terms of standouts, it's a pretty high-class group of players we have and they're all pretty good, but I'll say Percy was certainly one of the top players, and it was pretty cool to get the chance to play with him on the team for about a week."
The 18-year-old from Vancouver said he is not worried about the potential pressure and scrutiny that comes from playing in one of the world's biggest hockey markets.
"I couldn't be happier to be here with a blue and white jersey on right now. I think it's going to be a cool experience, and I'm certainly not going to allow it to change my game. I'm just going to keep on playing my game and enjoying it."
