text: Gekokujo is a mod for Mount and Blade Warband set in the Sengoku period of Japan. The name is a term often translated as "the low-ranked taking over from the high" and was chosen because it was a running theme during that era: from the illustrious Ouchi clan--a belligerent party in the Onin war--being displaced by the Mori (their vassals); to the rise of Toyotomi Hideyoshi (who began his career as a cook and sandal bearer); to the beginning of the Tokugawa shogunate itself (Ieyasu was an upstart who probably fabricated a claim of descent from the Minamoto clan--the only ones allowed to be granted the title of Shogun in the first place). As a player of Gekokujo, you will start from nothing and attempt to gain control of the entire country, making the title even more fitting.

TD Bank today announced it would allow furloughed federal employees access to funds at no cost through checking overdraft services and flexibility with credit card and mortgage payments.
The new "payment assistance program" will run from Oct. 10 through Nov. 2, or the end of the federal government shutdown, whichever occurs first. Customers who have had a TD account that has been open for at least 60 days and is in good standing can present their government ID or furlough letter at any TD Bank branch in order to be eligible to access up to $1,000 of funds that are not currently available in their account with no fees or costs, the bank said.
The bank also said it would offer late fee refunds for TD Bank Visa credit cards, as well as hardship assistance in making mortgage payments in some cases.
Customers impeached by the government shutdown can call TD Bank's 24/7 live phone support to learn more about the program, the bank said.

Taking next step on agenda for Milligan soccer programs
From the moment Virginia Intermont forward striker Jose Rubio's shot struck the back of the net in overtime to abruptly end the Milligan Buffaloes soccer season in the Appalachian Athletic Conference championship, head coach Adam Laney knew next season would be challenging.
Next year is now here, and the challenge for Laney is in finding a way to replace 32 goals scored by his seniors and continue to compete in the rugged AAC.
"We will be very different and don't really know yet what that will be," Laney said. "We are still trying to define ourselves and find out who we are right now. We are really pressed in this preseason and are doing a lot on the field to solve those problems as quickly as we can."
The Lady Buffs (10-7-1, 6-2-1 AAC) also fell one game shy of the national tourney in 2012, but head coach Lisa Buckley does not see this as a rebuilding season.
"I feel that, if anything we may have more offensive firepower that last year," said Lady Buffs head coach Lisa Buckley. "I think Teagan Wood is coming on. She is bigger and more powerful than last year and she was a force to be reckoned with then, so I think she will be even more so this year.
"I expect good things from freshmen Christine Hardin and Keri Harrison, both natural goal scorers."

Heartstrings Maple Leaves Lace Scarf
Sorry, this is not currently available.
Previously $4.00 each.
- Pattern Type
- All Knitted
- Scarves and Cowls
Delicate long rectangular scarf in knitted lace. The silhouette of yarn overs in the main pattern stitch reminded me of maple leaves, and thus the name.
As with the other lace scarf patterns in the HeartStrings collection, there is a pretty lace border pattern that is knit at the same time as the center lace pattern. Easy to knit on just a few stitches, and enjoyable to wear in a variety of ways.
11" by 60" or length desired. 400 yards of fine yarn, 4 ½ stitches/inch, size US 6 / 4.0 mm needles suggested. Shown in laceweight silk handspun from hand-painted roving. Written stitch instructions.
We do not currently have this available — we first started selling this in June 2008.

To use an expression he knows so well, I don't give a rat's [tail] what Jim Mora says.
I'm the guy trying to get the Rose Bowl named after him, and so after getting thrashed by Stanford I'm asking him if he had the Bruins just going through the motions Saturday.
It's football suicide if they win this game, sending UCLA to Eugene to play Oregon for the Pac-12 Conference championship game, so I know Mora's team had to lose to Stanford.
He spent 25 years in the NFL, so he knows how to assemble a game plan to make it appear as if his team is going all out when the goal is really to show the other team nothing.
I understand his genius and why his NFL career has prepared him like no other college coach for this chance to play a team two straight weeks.
It was routine in the NFL to play a team twice in the same season, and knowing this one meant nothing but disaster if UCLA won, I wanted to give him credit for tanking without making it obvious.
If the Bruins weren't tanking it, then one can only conclude they don't belong on the same field with Stanford.
I figure after the first quarter, the score tied, 7-7, Mora realizes UCLA can beat Stanford so he holds the Bruins back.
I'm giving him credit for UCLA running 13 plays and gaining 13 yards in the second quarter and falling behind, 21-10, and then 35-17 after three quarters.
"We're competitors and those guys in there don't spend all the time they spend preparing for a game in the off-season, during the week, the sacrifices they make to not go out and try their best to win every opportunity they get. So that's what they did; they tried their best to win and we came up a little short."
It was a fine rambling speech, stern in delivery and the guys in the locker room will like the flattery.
But come on, don't you think the guys in the locker room would like to play in the Rose Bowl and know the best chance to get there is a game with Stanford rather than Oregon?
"To insinuate our players didn't give their best effort would not be correct," Mora says.
I'm trying to make a case that UCLA can win next week, so I'm insinuating Mora found a way to hold back the Bruins and the players would never know it.
"I never in my life stepped on the field to compete and not given my best nor will I ever," Mora says, and I can see him running for office one day.
I reminded him that's not true. Mora coached in close to 100 NFL exhibition games and probably never once giving a hoot who won or lost.
"Those games didn't count," Mora says, and this one didn't either.
The Bruins were going to the Pac-12 championship game whether they won or lost this one. It was the closest thing to an NFL exhibition game.
"You know how to coach a game so that you don't reveal things," I suggest.
"You're making a statement; I don't know, is there a question in there somewhere?" Mora says.
I've never thought reporters were just stenographers to ask questions and write everything down without offering some feedback. Often the feedback leads to better answers, a coach taken out of his automatic-pilot response to most questions.
"I'll comment on a question," Mora says.
So someone else asks if Mora would say his players were "as emotionally into this game as they were against USC?"
"I would," Mora says.
OK, so everyone in the room knows now they aren't going to get the truth, Mora just going coach-speak on everyone.
"We're trying to develop a culture about winning," Mora says. "And the way you try to win, you go for that every single time you step on the field, and if you don't you cheat everybody. We're trying to be great."
Yeah, and win one for the Gipper while you're at it.
How about a reality check here?
If UCLA wants to develop a culture of winning and be great, how about playing in the Rose Bowl, a date with Stanford on Friday providing the best path.
"Is that a question or a statement?" Mora says. "If you're asking me a question, I'll be happy to answer it. If you're going to make statements, then make them."
"So we can put it in first-grade terms, do you agree or disagree the best way to get to the Rose Bowl is playing Stanford again?"
"I hadn't thought about it," Mora says, and how many believe that?
"All I had thought about was beating Stanford; that was the end of the world for us."
Gosh, then he must be really devastated, and I sure hope UCLA is able to pick up the pieces.
"I'm just trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, maybe you held things back and there's reason to believe UCLA can win next week," I say, and I think I know what's coming.
"Is this a press conference? If you want to come up here and take the mike and make all your statements, I'd love to have you up here with me."
He does struggle with the truth at times.
"No, you wouldn't," I say before realizing it wasn't delivered in the form of a question. I bet Mora grew up watching a lot of Jeopardy!
"Sure, I would," Mora says. "You don't scare me."
The question is: Can UCLA throw a scare into Stanford?
Just wondering about UCLA's motivation against Stanford
It's only a theory, but perhaps the Bruins didn't quite go after the Cardinal on Saturday because a victory would have pitted them against Oregon in the Pac-12 Conference title game.

Although Peter Bergman does an incredible job in the role of Jack Abbott (or at least the last time I watched) but Terry Lester was not only the Jack of my childhood, he was the very embodiment of Ole Smilin' Jack and if you remembered that smile, you'd remember why the nicknamed was coined.ReplyDelete
He is still very much missed. Gone way too soon.
An interesting bit of trivia about Terry Lester is that he originally went in to Y&R to audition for the role of Dr. Snapper Foster when William Gray Espy left the role (ca. 1975). He thought he had the part, and when it went to David Hasselhoff, he was angry that he didn't get it. He said, because of that, he let everyone know that, "I didn't want to do a soap opera anyway,'' and "for years after that every time they called for an audition, I refused" - jokingly referring to himself as ''Mr. Maturity'' in retrospect. He finally accepted the role of Jack Abbott five years later.ReplyDelete

OSV BOLD:Day 1 – July 30th – Wrap Up
The sun set around 7:45, and my first shift began! Sporting a bright orange vest and hard hat, my team helped to deploy the CTD off the starboard side of the BOLD just off Cape Ann in Gloucester, MA.
In this first day (and a half day at that) we were able to sample 7 stations! Chlorophyll samples are being sent to EPA New England's laboratory on land in Chelmsford, MA.
Stations labeled "R1…" are located on the Captain's Log page. New Stations have the latitude and longitude.
At a bit past midnight, my shift ended and we were on course to New Hampshire's coast. Said, "hello and goodnight" to my roomie who caught the tough shift, she will get back to the room around 4 am.
I wonder what tomorrow will bring!

I've been hearing about water safety and how important it is with young children. With summer coming, I worry about my little ones around pools and in the ocean. Has anyone ever had experience with water safety classes for very young kids? I'd love to hear about your experiences! -- Julie, StrongMoms Facilitator
I have't ever attended a water safety class, but I have signed my daughter up for some Puddle Jumper swim lessons Which is basically getting her used to the water and laying the foundation for safe swimming. When I was little my mom would just take us into the pool all the time and work with us and teach us the basics like not to run around the pool, not to jump into the shallow end (as we got old enough for diving), she taught us how to float so that we could do that if we got a cramp or something and of course how to swim... just lots of little things like that.
I think water safety classes are a great idea. My cousin signed her 1 year old up for a water class that taught her how to survive if she accidentally fell in the pool. It was amazing!
Brinny - love that your mom taught you all those things. Its funny that we think we have to have formal classes for some things. We can probably teach it pretty well ourselves!
MommRN4 - I've always been fascinated by those classes! Did it really work??
I haven't, but I probably should. I plan on signing my son up for a swimming class though (he is 1 year old).
The nurse in me loves that your mom did such an awesome job (Brinny) with teaching you about water safety. I think it's so important that we each take it upon ourselves to teach kiddos about water safety, to help kids learn to swim, and to watch our rivers, streams, pools, and hot tubs to be sure our little ones are always in reach.
I love the name "puddle jumpers"! It makes me think of cute kiddos in yellow rain slickers and floaty arm bands. What a combo!
I completely agree Jess.. My mom never had any money to waste when i was growing up and she had three kids so we did a lot of swimming at my aunts house and she would watch us in the pool and teach us different things. I would actually be doing the same with Hazel if the pool passes in our community weren't so expensive. So for us puddle jumpers is a good alternative; not to mention it will give her another chance to socialize with other children and adults in a secure environment. and it will teach her to trust others outside of me and her dad.
Brinny, You have such awesome perspective. I love what you said here about having other adults teach and how it's important that your daughter learns from people other than you. You are a rockstar mom! I think it's also important to remember that sources other than big water areas are importnat to monitor-so kiddie pools, bathtubs, bucket of water. Kids just love water so we have to watch them closely!
Absolutely.. My daughter seems to gravitate to any water around. Her newest favorite thing is to get her sand shovel and splash the water out of the dogs water bowls with it (inside and outside). She also has figured out that water comes from the hose and loves to fill the sand buckets and dogs bowl and well anything that will hold water really. I turn it on to a trickle so that she can play with it without running my water bill up ridiculous amounts. I will not be having a pool in my yard this year because my dogs are water lovers and will destroy it with hair and dirt. Which will lead me to scrubbing it down every time i want to let hazel use it. So as far as pools of water that i have to watch her around our house is pretty safe, but we like to camp and boat so it is essential that she learn some water safety.
I would recommend going to a class or looking into it to teach your little one to swim...Otherwise keep and eye on them and have a life jacket on just in case.
Mines 6 months and loves the water, I can lay her down and she doesn't have an issue (tub), so you can always try tubs and do little safety there. Depending on age.
Lots of great suggestions here! Water safety is so crucial... all you have to do is look at statistics and see how many families are devastated by accidental deaths involving water. Even kids who are good swimmers sometimes drown so the key is vigilance... never take for granted that your child is being supervised. I think the quicker kids learn water safety and swimming skills the better, but there are no guarantees.
AnswerDad made a great point, even kids that know how to swim can drown, very important to not put too much confidence in their ability.

Economist: Florida's biotech industry has yet to challenge lead built by San Diego, San Francisco and Bostonby Jeff Ostrowski
Florida taxpayers have spent $1.5 billion to build a biotech hub, but the state's science industry has done little to close the gap with bio hubs San Diego, San Francisco and Boston, says Joseph Cortright, an economist in Portland, Ore.
"I see very little change in the pattern of dominance the three leading centers have," Cortright said today in an interview. "It's difficult to detect that any other places, including Florida, have made any dent in that dominance."
Nonprofit institutes such as Scripps Florida and Max Planck Florida have hired hundreds of scientists at their labs in Jupiter, but Cortright said satellite institutes rarely build the same cachet as the main labs.
Scripps Florida "doesn't play the same role in terms of importance or scale as Scripps in San Diego," he said.
Biotech boosters such as Sherry Snyder, head of Xcovery in West Palm Beach and a pioneer in Boston's bio scene, disagree with that pessimistic analysis. He expects South Florida's bio industry to take off in the next few years.
"The pieces are all there," Snyder said recently. "Now, frankly, the missing piece to really gain a little more momentum are the entrepreneurs. The capital will always follow good science and good entrepreneurs."

Hamlet (Modern, Quarto 1)
Enter Two Sentinels [1 Sentinel and Barnardo].
¶1 Sentinel Stand! Who is that?
¶Barnardo 'Tis I.
101 Sentinel Oh, you come most carefully upon your watch.
¶Barnardo An if you meet Marcellus and Horatio,
¶The partners of my watch, bid them make haste.
¶1 Sentinel I will. See, who goes there?
Enter Horatio and Marcellus.
20Horatio Friends to this ground.
¶Marcellus And liegemen to the Dane.
¶[To the 1 Sentinel]Oh, farewell, honest soldier. Who hath relieved you?
¶1 Sentinel Barnardo hath my place. Give you good night.
¶Marcellus Holla, Barnardo!
¶Barnardo Say, is Horatio there?
¶Horatio A piece of him.
¶Barnardo Welcome, Horatio, welcome, good Marcellus.
30Marcellus What, hath this thing appeared again tonight?
¶Barnardo I have seen nothing.
¶Marcellus Horatio says 'tis but our fantasy,
¶And will not let belief take hold of him,
¶Touching this dreaded sight twice seen by us.
35Therefore I have entreated him along with us
¶To watch the minutes of this night,
¶That if again this apparition come,
¶He may approve our eyes, and speak to it.
¶Horatio Tut, 'twill not appear.
40Barnardo Sit down I pray, and let us once again
¶Assail your ears, that are so fortified,
¶What we have two nights seen.
¶Horatio Well, sit we down, and let us hear Barnardo speak
45of this.
¶Barnardo Last night of all, when yonder star that's west-
¶ward from the pole had made his course to
¶Illumine that part of heaven where now it burns,
50The bell then tolling one--
Enter Ghost.
Marcellus Break off your talk. See where it comes again!
¶Barnardo In the same figure like the King that's dead.
¶Marcellus Thou art a scholar. Speak to it, Horatio.
55Barnardo Looks it not like the King?
¶Horatio Most like. It horrors me with fear and wonder.
¶Barnardo It would be spoke to.
¶Marcellus Question it, Horatio.
¶Horatio What art thou that thus usurps the state in
¶Which the majesty of buried Denmark did sometimes
¶Walk? By heaven, I charge thee speak.
¶Marcellus It is offended. Exit Ghost.
¶Barnardo See, it stalks away.
65Horatio Stay, speak, speak! By heaven, I charge thee
¶Marcellus 'Tis gone and makes no answer.
¶Barnardo How now Horatio, you tremble and look pale.
¶Is not this something more than fantasy?
70What think you on't?
¶Horatio Afore my God, I might not this believe without
¶the sensible and true avouch of my own eyes.
¶Marcellus Is it not like the King?
75Horatio As thou art to thyself.
¶Such was the very armor he had on
¶When he the ambitious Norway combated.
¶So frownd he once, when in an angry parle
¶He smote the sledded Polacks on the ice.
80'Tis strange.
¶Marcellus Thus twice before, and jump at this dead hour,
¶With martial stalk he passèd through our watch.
¶Horatio In what particular to work, I know not,
¶But in the thought and scope of my opinion
85This bodes some strange eruption to the state.
¶Marcellus Good, now sit down, and tell me, he that knows,
¶Why this same strict and most observant watch
¶So nightly toils the subject of the land,
¶And why such daily cost of brazen cannon
90And foreign mart for implements of war,
¶Why such impress of shipwrights, whose sore task
¶Does not divide the Sunday from the week:
¶What might be toward, that this sweaty march
¶Doth make the night joint laborer with the day?
95Who is't that can inform me?
¶Horatio Marry, that can I, at least the whisper goes so:
¶Our late King, who as you know was by
¶Fortenbrasse of Norway,
100Thereto pricked on by a most emulous cause, dared to
¶The combat, in which our valiant Hamlet,
¶For so this side of our known world esteemed him,
¶Did slay this Fortenbrasse,
Who by a sealed compact, well ratified by law
¶And heraldry, did forfeit with his life all those
105His lands which he stood seized of by the conqueror,
¶Against the which a moiety competent
¶Was gagèd by our King.
¶Now, sir, young Fortenbrasse,
¶Of inapprovèd mettle hot and full,
¶Hath in the skirts of Norway here and there
115Sharked up a sight of lawless resolutes
¶For food and diet to some enterprise,
¶That hath a stomach in't. And this (I take it) is the
¶But lo, behold, see where it comes again!
¶I'll cross it, though it blast me.--Stay, illusion!
¶If there be any good thing to be done,
130That may do ease to thee and grace to me,
Speak to me!
¶If thou are privy to thy country's fate,
¶Which happ'ly foreknowing may prevent, oh, speak to me!
¶Or if thou hast extorted in thy life,
¶Or hoarded treasure in the womb of earth,
135For which they say you spirits oft walk in death, speak
¶to me! Stay and speak, speak!--Stop it, Marcellus.
¶Barnardo 'Tis here. Exit Ghost.
140Horatio 'Tis here.
¶Marcellus 'Tis gone. Oh, we do it wrong, being so majestical,
¶ to offer it the show of violence,

¶Barnardo It was about to speak when the cock crew.
¶Horatio And then it faded like a guilty thing
¶Upon a fearful summons. I have heard
¶The cock, that is the trumpet to the morning,
150Doth with his early and shrill-crowing throat
¶Awake the god of day, and at his sound,
¶Whether in earth or air, in sea or fire,
¶The stravagant and erring spirit hies

¶The nights are wholesome, then no planet strikes,
¶No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm,
¶So gracious and so hallowed is that time.
¶Horatio So have I heard, and do in part believe it.
165But see, the sun, in russet mantle clad,
¶Walks o'er the dew of yon high mountain top.
¶Break we our watch up, and, by my advice,
¶Let us impart what we have seen tonight
¶Unto young Hamlet; for upon my life
170This spirit, dumb to us, will speak to him:
¶Do you consent we shall acquaint him with it,
¶As needful in our love, fitting our duty?
¶Marcellus Lets do't, I pray, and I this morning know
¶Where we shall find him most conveniently.

The question we began with was:
Doesn't the Bible say the man is the head of the woman and that the husband is the head of the house, the instrument of God for directing the family? Isn't he God's designated authority, the one God holds responsible for all decision-making on behalf of the couple and their children?
We have looked at the question of male "headship" in light of the Bible's overarching "Great Story," and we have examined Ephesians Chapter 5 in light of ancient cultural understandings and original word meanings. Now we turn to some of the other passages and the questions they raise.
But doesn't 1 Peter 3 say Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him lord, and Christian women are to imitate her?
Let's look more closely at this Scripture in light of its context in 1 Peter. The First Epistle of Peter was written to scattered believers living in pagan societies in northern Asia Minor. The main subject of the letter is how these Christians are to live in these societies, enduring persecution when necessary, but also doing their best to present themselves as good citizens in a surrounding culture which viewed them with suspicion. To this end, Peter tells them in Chapter 2, verse 12 to be "having your conversation [behavior] honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works which they shall behold, glorify God . . ." With this in mind, Peter goes on in verse 13 to tell them to "Submit yourselves to every ordinance [institution] of man for the Lord's sake,: whether it be to the king, as supreme; or unto governors. . ." Immediately following this, Peter goes into his own household code.

The Great Apes, including the chimpanzee, gorilla and orangutan, are threatened with extinction. All species are rapidly declining in abundance, even within protected areas.The main factors responsible for this decline are loss and degradation of habitat, and hunting. Construction of roads in forest areas is particularly damaging, as such development facilitates hunting and other activities which lead to habitat destruction.
This report assesses the impact of infrastructural development on great ape populations, using the GLOBIO modelling approach. GLOBIO is a multivariable spatial model, which estimates the extent of land area with reduced abundance and diversity of living organisms, as a result of infrastructural development. The model can also be used to develop scenarios of possible future impacts, based on the current rates of infrastructural development.Resource Type: Reports
The CITES Trade Database, managed by UNEP-WCMC on behalf of the CITES Secretariat, is a unique resource that holds over 13 million records of trade in wildlife and over 50,000 scientific names of taxa listed by CITES. Contracting Parties provide annual reports to the CITES Secretariat including full details of all export and import permits and certificates issued during the previous year. More than 850,000 records of trade in CITES-listed species of wildlife are reported annually.Resource Type: Tools / Applications
The Critical Site Network (CSN) Tool is a new online resource for the conservation of 294 species of waterbirds and the important sites upon which they depend in Africa and Western Eurasia.

Maier family devastated after fire claims their homeOakport Township, MN (WDAY TV) - The Red Cross is putting up the Maier family for a few days in a local motel.
By: Kevin Wallevand, WDAY
The Red Cross is putting up the Maier family for a few days in a local motel. After that, Bob and Lynn are not sure what they will do. They ran out with a cell phone and a purse. That is all that was saved, and the Maiers have no insurance.
Bob Maier was supposed to be at the VA for a doctor's appointment this morning,
Bob Maier: "I made coffee right away."
Instead, he watched firefighters spray foam on his burned out home.
Bob Maier: "The coffee pot was sitting on the stove, and the coffee maker must have malfunctioned or whatever."
It all started so quickly. Bob, a disabled Vietnam Vet, had got up early to check on his horse. His wife Lynn and daughter Jamie inside smelled smoke.
Jamie Maier: "The whole stove caught on fire."
Lynn Maier: "It was a coffee pot I could have put a wet towel over it."
Because of well work, there was little water pressure and so the fire just grew, and kitchen was soon an inferno.
Bob Maier: "It got into the ceiling in the kitchen and it was downhill from there."
The family lost everything including a turn of the century painting by a grandmother and oval framed photos of immigrant great grandparents.
18 years living here, they survived what Mother Nature handed them; blizzards, high water and now this.
Bob Maier: "I will never move from here, storms, fire rain whatever we will stick it out sucked it up from floods. Scorched one day flooded out the next."
A trailers house next to the house and a garage also burned. Without insurance, the family is not sure what they'll do. Fortunately they all got out, unharmed.
Both Salvation Army and the Red Cross were at the fire scene to help the Maier family and the firefighters on scene.

The Dark Chronicles
A Spy Trilogy: Free Agent; Song of Treason; The Moscow Option
Jeremy Duns - Author
- eBook - ePub eBook: $18.99
"An homage to the morally ambiguous Sixties thrillers of le Carré and Deighton . . . nuanced to the hilt." —The Daily Telegraph (U.K.)
It's 1969, and MI6 agent Paul Dark has spent the last twenty-five years betraying his country.

Fans of John le Carré, Alan Furst, and Daniel Silva will instantly recognize Jeremy Duns as a new master of the genre.

Earlier this week, the industrial agriculture-backed Alliance for Food and Farming launched a new effort to challenge organic farming. And a few days ago, an article was posted on Slate underscoring many of the same points — challenging the benefits of organic food and farming, and downplaying the harms of pesticides to children.
We wholeheartedly agree with the Slate article author that eating fruits and veggies is important to children's health. But as I noted in a media statement yesterday, the fruits and vegetables children eat should provide nutrition to their bodies without exposing them to health harms that can last a lifetime.
It's not exactly a shocker, but a recently released report from the United Kingdom (UK) Health and Safety Executive indicates that yes, there are low levels of pesticides in food commonly found in supermarkets. Seventy-seven percent of the starchy foods tested — including various kinds of bread — contained measurable residues.
Among the pesticides found was the controversial chemical glyphosate, with 23% of cereal bars containing residues of Monsanto's flagship herbicide.
For quite some time, European policymakers have been working on a plan to regulate endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). In the last few months, the process has sparked a furor among researchers and public health experts, with a heated battle of editorials raging in scientific journals that highlights clear conflicts of interest among those critiquing European action.
EDCs are compounds that alter the hormonal systems in an organism, and many of these chemicals are in widespread use. If the European Union (EU) regulates EDCs, it will be the first policy in the world that addresses the endocrine disruptor problem.
Right now, I'm sitting in a room at the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, located in Rome, Italy. Though I get to walk by the Coliseum every morning on the way to the FAO building, I don't leave the building until well after the sun has set.
I'm representing PAN at the Stockholm Convention's Persistent Organic Pollutants Review Committee (POPRC), and learning a great deal about the scientific review of new POPs that's part of the global chemicals treaty process.
Glyphosate, the active ingredient of Monsanto's RoundUp, is the most commonly used pesticide active ingredient in the U.S. From the product's beginnings back in the 1970s, it's been touted as a relatively safe, non-toxic chemical.
But the use of glyphosate has surged dramatically since the 1990s, when genetically engineered (GE) "RoundUp Ready" corn and soybean crops were introduced. This intensive usage raises an important and increasingly urgent question: have the human health and environmental impacts of glyphosate been carefully and exhaustively evaluated? What do we know and what don't we?

Bad all the way around – I have been to El T's as we call it several times before. Service may have been slow but they usually would get around to us & usually had the same waitress who is usually nice. On 5-3-12 went there & sat for 15 minutes before our waitress came to our table. It was not a busy night, there were 7 people at our table. Had to ask for the same drink twice (water). Later on in order to get refills on drinks one of the people sitting at our table had to call on her cell phone to the host desk & ask them to send someone to our table. When we finally got our food mine only had cheese on one side of the plate (nachos). When I asked her for some cheese to put on the rest of my nachos she either didnt understand what I said or pretended to not understand what I said & brought me the cheese dip which I was charged for. After we were able to start eating I found a hair in my food that was about 4 inches long & covered in grease. When I took the hair (plate of food included) to the manager he only said that it did not belong to any of the cooks & that I was welcome to go look at the cooks in the kitchen if I wanted to. The man never apologized, never offered an explanation other than to deny responsibility. Very poor response - for any business - to be working in the food service industry & act like that is inexcusable. My freinds enjoy going there & I will not miss out on spending time with them due to the poor customer service in that hole, but I will not order food from them again.
The best Mexican Around – Still the best Mexican food in Lexington. The service is friendly and you cannot beat the value. Happy hour features 2 for 1 margaritas as well.
Best in Town! – Great family-feel, they are very warm and friendly. 2-for-1 margaritas all the time is nice, too. Get the Nortenos (grilled shrimp wrapped in bacon).
The best chicken chimichangas in Lexington! – I love mexican food. I have almost been to every mexican restaurant in Lexington, Louisville, and Cincinnati and when I leave another mexican restaurant I'm usually kicking myself b/c I didn't go to El Toro's instead. I haven't found another restaurant that does Chimichangas like El Toro's! If you haven't tried them ...go! .. if you like spicy!!

Glad you are still here Legs, AnneB, and Optigirl!
This morning the full moon was lighting up my early morning run. I have added auto alerts to tell me when I am going slower than a 10 min pace and when my heart rate is above 174. I gave the last 3/4 mile alot of effort keeping it under a 9 minute pace and got up to under a 6 min pace sprinting the last 0.1mi. For some reason my heart rate stated out high the first quarter mile but it lowered back to normal. Ended up with 3.99mi in 38:04 I gave it my all at the end and could not finish the last 0.01mi.

The jump experience is well worth the nervousness and fear felt beforehand. Feel the fear and do it anyway - the rush is so worth it. A. Reid My son did the Tandem Skydive on his 18th birthdayand found it absolutely brilliant. He has said it was the highlight of his holiday and helped to make the day one of the best and most memorable of his life. H. Thompson I just wanted to let you know I did the jump on Saturday and it blew my mind! It was the best thing I've ever done. I've watched the video about 10 times and every time I watch it, it makes me smile (and pumped)...... The guys were great, the video is great and the experience was out of this world. Thanks to Adrenalin for arranging it for me..... Can't wait to do it again!!! – Beck
This was a 60th birthday present from a son who is trying to see me scared of something besides his mother. He said if I jump he will do it when he's 60. I will be 92 then and if I'm around I'll go with him so see you then I hope. Thanks Boots

ZERO DARK THIRTY Blu-ray Review
by Adam Chitwood Posted 1 year, 28 days ago
The events of September 11, 2001 had a profound effect on the United States of America that forever changed us as a nation. We live in a post-9/11 world, and it is impossible to go back to "the way things were before." Though it's been a decade since the event, in the scope of things we're still living in the immediate aftermath of the most devastating domestic terror attack in history. Filmmaker Kathryn Bigelow has now dealt with these effects in two films, as she previously focused on the events of the Iraq War with her 2008 Best Picture winner The Hurt Locker, and her brilliant 2012 drama Zero Dark Thirty masterfully chronicles the decade-long hunt for the man responsible for the 9/11 attacks: Osama Bin Laden. The result of the latter is a taut procedural thriller that not only entertains, but also provides a difficult and introspective look at America's place in the post-9/11 world. Hit the jump for my review of Zero Dark Thirty on Blu-ray.

HOOKSETT, N.H. — Fear and frustration course through the lunch crowd at Robie's Country Store and Deli, a popular outpost 500 miles from where Washington is again locked in tense negotiations over taxes and spending as a critical deadline looms.
This still image from video released by Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies shows a frame from their ad on the "fiscal cliff." Picking up where the wall-to-wall election ads left off, debate over the "fiscal cliff" has money pouring into television, print, radio and online advertising. As Republicans and the White House joust over big tax increases and spending cuts, outside groups on both sides weigh in with major campaigns aimed at politicians and voters alike.

In this photo taken Thursday Dec. 6, 2012 of John Pfeifle Bradford, N.H. is seen during his lunch break at Robie's Country Store and Deli in Hookset, N.H. Pfeifle, says that both Obama and House Republicans seem prepared to push the nation over the fiscal cliff.(AP Photo/Jim Cole)
"I'm worried," Lorraine Cadren of nearby Manchester says between bites of her chicken sandwich. Her doubt in the nation's elected leaders is palpable: "I'm not sure what's going to come out of Washington next." Not that she has the time to pay much attention; the 64-year-old is unemployed and preoccupied with finding a new job as Christmas approaches.
A few tables away, John Pfeifle shares Cadren's angst while trying to enjoy his $6.99 chicken parmesan special.
"Somebody's gotta have some smarts," says the 63-year-old business owner, complaining that both President Barack Obama and House Republicans seem willing to allow the nation to go over the "fiscal cliff," triggering broad tax increases and massive spending cuts that economists warn could lead to another recession.
"I have no faith at all they'll do the right thing," Pfeifle said of Congress.
And why would these voters have confidence in Washington?
The scene playing out on Capitol Hill is a familiar one as lawmakers with competing ideologies wage an 11th-hour battle to avert a predictable crisis. This one comes just a year after an equally divided Washington nearly let the country default on its loan obligations — a debt-ceiling debate that contributed to the electorate's deep lack of faith in their elected leaders and a drop in the nation's credit rating.
Evidence of Congress' plummeting popularity is everywhere.
From New Hampshire diners to Colorado coffee shops, weary residents report widespread concern. They relate the debate in Washington over their tax dollars with their own lives: average Americans who are struggling every day to make ends meet. And already distracted by the holidays and tired of politics after a bitter presidential campaign, they are calling on Washington to get its act together.
"It's pathetic. Nobody's doing their job," said Laura Hager, a retiree from Lancaster, Pa. "The rest of the country is being held hostage to this entire situation."
She said the uncertainty makes it difficult to shape a personal financial plan; she can't imagine what business leaders must be going through. "Nobody can plan. Nobody knows what they'll do," she said.
Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., warned that the public's disgust with Congress would reach new heights if lawmakers and the White House fail to reach an accord before the year-end deadline.
"Ninety percent disapproval rating is going to go up to 99 percent disapproval," the senator said at a panel discussion last week in Washington on the fiscal cliff's impact on businesses.
Warner overstated Congress' unpopularity, although not by much.
A recent Associated Press-GfK poll found that 74 percent of Americans disapprove of the way Congress is handling its job; just 23 percent approve. The figures are virtually unchanged from June and slightly above Congress' recent low point of 12 percent approval during the debt ceiling debate in August 2011.
Some voters are trying to ignore the debate altogether, although near-constant news coverage is making that difficult, especially as Obama and his Republican opponents work to rally their supporters.
In a campaign-style event Monday in Michigan, the heart of industrial America, Obama warned that he "won't compromise" on his demand that the wealthiest Americans pay more in taxes. Polls find that most voters agree with the president's deficit-cutting plan to raise tax rates on income over $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples, although House Republicans are reluctant to agree.

It hardly seems worth mentioning that life goes zipping on by when it's the last thing on our minds, but whatever, I'm going to bring it up anyway.
My daughter, Violet, is 4 pushing 5 now, and I just got back from her first official day at preschool. It was one of those 'Parents-can-come-along-too' type of first days, but still. It was my baby girl's first day of going to a place that has some serious school-ish vibe to it, and my mind is fairly blown.
Violet has attended a YMCA daycare program for almost two years now, so she is no stranger to being around other kids and listening (usually) to what grown-ups in charge tell her, and I am finding that this is helpful for a guy like myself who is having a little trouble taking all of this in. Don't get me wrong, I want her to go to preschool and I'm really proud of how she's excited about it and all, but there are huge tracts of Daddy Wilderness inside of me that want her to remain here by my side... forever, I guess.
That's not going to happen though, and I trust in the fact that I don't even really want it to happen really, so I think knowing that she has become so well-adjusted to hanging out away from Mom and Dad and being with other kids her age and listening to grown-ups in charge, all of that has been a huge relief for me.
But wow. Just, wow.
My sweet, tiny baby girl. What happened?!
Watching her grow up so fast like some kind of bionic sprout, it just makes my head spin. I remember when it was, like, just a few hours ago....and I was gently squishing and squirming her short, soft six-month-old chubby legs into the Baby Bjorn so I could take her on long afternoon hikes with the dogs and me.
We went hiking in the woods; how did we ever end up here, on the steps of the school?
Thank goodness she has been so cool about it all. Not once has she shown any trepidation about going to this new place with all new people. Instead, each time we've driven past the building where her new class is housed, she has pointed wildly out the window and hollered, "There's my new school! Right there it is!"
Just that sort of optimistic youthful attitude has helped her lift me up out of my partial blues a bunch, I think.
Plus, when her mom or I ask her stuff about whether or not she's looking forward to meeting some fresh faces and making brand new friends, Violet always seems to just break out with an easygoing smile and answer the question simply with an earnest, "Yes. I am."
What a cool dink of water. I remember getting ready for first days of school by weeping like a grief-stricken widow as I dry heaved into the basement sink and tried to use dramatics and forced illness to get my mom to let me stay home from day one. I used those ploys in first grade, and, I'm not really stretching the truth much when I tell you, I used them every single school year up until 10th grade, too. (By 11th grade, I gave up. I knew I wasn't missing the first day of school unless I got eaten by a shark or a bear.)
So, I'm a really happy, proud dad even though I'm shaking like a leaf half the time, and fighting back big Man Baby tears the other half.
Without even knowing it, Violet has used that sort of magic spirit and endless curiosity that make her and so many zillions of other kids her age so darn cool to let me know, in a roundabout way, that everything is going to be just fine. And I needed that. I really did.
So here's to new beginnings: for our best little friends in the world walking into those classrooms all by themselves this school year.
And for us parents, too, trying hard to act like we just have something in our eye as we pull the car away from the curb and watch that preschool disappear in the rear-view mirror.

Derr (Jr., 3.91, emergency management, Pittsburgh, Pa.) had a career
best with not one, but two 45-yard field goals in the Zips' 35-29
come-from-behind win against Navy at the Naval Academy. Derr was
two-for-two in field goals and finished the game with seven points. He
is now three-for-three this season from 40-to-49 yards out. His
previous best was a 44-yard field goal during the 1998 season.
Seyferth (Sr., 3.37, health appraisal & sport organization) accounted
for all three of Miami's goals last weekend, including the game-winner
against No. 19 Ohio. She took only two shots against Ohio, both of
which were goals. Seyferth scored just one goal in a 4-1 loss to Kent
on Friday. The win over Ohio marked Miami's first win in three tries
against ranked-opponents this year. She moved into the team lead for
point totals with 19 and her two goals in one game was a career high.
The honor is presented to a MAC male and female student-athlete who has
a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better and performs well
during that week's competition. The winners are selected by one of the
conference's faculty athletic representatives.
Other Nominees:
Ball State: Megan Hammons (volleyball, So., 3.04, undecided, West
Liberty, Ind.) averaged 4.71 kills per game and hit .343 while totaling
3.43 digs per game last week to lead Ball State to victories over
Buffalo and Northern Illinois. Hammons, an outside attacker, managed 11
kills in the Buffalo match to help the Cardinals extend their streak of
consecutive games won at home to a school-record 16. She followed that
performance by blasting 22 kills, hitting .415 and recording 19 digs in
a four-game victory over NIU on Saturday. It marked the seventh time
this season that she totaled 20-or-more kills in a match, breaking the
previous BSU sophomore record of three set in 1989.
Bowling Green: Melissa Lewis (volleyball, Sr., 3.12, human movement
science, Mansfield, Ohio) led BGSU to a 3-0 record last week, with all
three wins coming on the road. The victories over Oakland, Akron and
Kent extended BG's current win streak to eight matches. That is the
team's longest win streak in seven years. Lewis averaged 4.67 kills and
3.17 digs per game, while hitting .321 for the week. She scored 26
kills at Akron and 15 versus both Oakland and Kent, leading the team in
all three matches. Lewis has led BG in kills in 19 of this season's 22
matches. She also leads the squad in hitting with an average of .295
(.308 in MAC matches) and is averaging 4.60 kills per game.
Buffalo: Kevin Pitra (men's soccer, So., 3.38, sociology/criminal law,
Solon, Ohio) led the team to a win over Eastern Michigan scoring the
game-winning goal with just under two minutes remaining for a 3-2 win.
It was the first goal of his career.
Central Michigan: Jennifer Mitchell (volleyball, Jr., 3.31, business,
Lake Odessa, Mich.) posted a double-double in both matches last
weekend. She had 11 blocks on the week, including three solos. She
also posted her 500th career dig during the weekend making her a 500-500
player for career kills and digs.
Kent: Maggie Downey (field hockey, Sr., 3.18, elementary education, St.
Louis, Mo.) moved to second on Kent's all-time career points list with
her second assist in a 4-1 win over Miami on Oct. 22. She had a goal
and two assists in a 3-1 victory over Louisville on Oct. 23. Downey
leads the team in points (48) and goals (16), which ranks second in the
Ohio: Mike Fox (football, So., 3.26, math education, Cincinnati, Ohio)
had five tackles from his defensive line position in Ohio's win over
Bowling Green. He recorded one sack for eight yards, his first sack of
the season. Fox was also responsible for a quarterback hurry, while
forcing and recovering a fumble, one of five Falcon turnovers forced by
the Bobcat defense. Fox is Ohio's leading tackler on the defensive line
with 32 stops. The Ohio defense held BGSU to just 123 rushing yards.
Lori Schmidt (women's soccer, 3.98, broadcast journalism, Pickerington,
Ohio) posted four saves in two matches, while allowing three goals. She
helped the Bobcats to a 2-1 win over Ball State, while falling to Miami
in overtime, 2-1. Schmidt recorded her fourth and fifth starts of the
season, filling in for the injured Vanessa Dennis. She has an .846 save
percentage (22 saves to just four goals allowed) on the season with an
.81 goals allowed average.
Toledo: Jorge Morales (men's tennis, Sr., 3.06, chemical engineering,
Caracas, Venezuela) won the flight A singles and doubles titles at the
Rocket Indoor Tournament over the weekend. He defeated players from
Xavier, EMU, BGSU and Ohio State for the win in singles. In doubles,
Morales teamed with Hector Arroyo for wins over Xavier, EMU and NIU.
Amanda Brown (women's soccer, Sr., 3.64, exercise science, Cypress,
Calif.) scored the game-winning goal in Toledo's 3-2 win at
Wisconsin-Green Bay on Sunday.
Western Michigan: Tim Lester (football, Sr., 3.41, math education,
Wheaton, Ill.) completed 26 of 41 passes for 296 yards and four
touchdowns, accounting for all 28 of WMU's points. He became the MAC's
all-time leader in total offense and the 14th player in NCAA Division I
history to reach 10,000 passing yards. He currently leads the nation in
touchdown passes with 27 and moved into the top-10 nationally with
80-career touchdown passes.

It is frankly quite a pity that Empoleon doesn't look nearly as powerful or as usable as it actually is. Empoleon's movepool isn't overflowing with coverage, nor does it have any particularly outstanding stats. However, what Empoleon does have is a unique typing that grants it an immunity and 11 resistances to some of the most common attacking types, notably Ice, Dragon, Ghost, Rock, Water, and Dark. Furthermore, Empoleon is only weak to Ground-, Fighting-, and Electric-type attacks, all of which its teammates can deal with easily. In addition to its typing, Empoleon's high Special Defense also lends it to the job of a defensive Pokemon.
However, it is capable of much more. With both Agility and an already high Special Attack stat, Empoleon can become an extremely deadly late-game sweeper with just enough coverage to destroy entire teams. Factor in Empoleon's 4x resistance to Bullet Punch and 2x resistance to ExtremeSpeed, and you'll see why it's so favored late-game when most faster threats are gone.
While Empoleon might not be used as often as other more popular OU Pokemon, don't let that trick you into thinking that this penguin isn't capable of running through your team like a hot knife through butter.
Empoleon's signature set aims to sweep the opponent late-game with a strategy very rarely deemed effective in high-level play: Substitute, Agility, and a pinch Berry. The premise of the set is simple; wait till the late-game, switch Empoleon in on any one of its many resistances or after a revenge kill, and use Agility as your opponent switches out to a check. After an Agility boost, the only Pokemon that can outspeed Empoleon are speedy Choice Scarf users. Therefore, Empoleon can confidently use Substitute against most Pokemon to not only block incoming status, but also get it into Petaya Berry's activation range.
Surf is Empoleon's primary STAB attack, and specifically OHKOes Heatran and 2HKOes Metagross. Due to the Petaya Berry boost, Hydro Pump's extra power is not necessary. Ice Beam, which OHKOes Dragonite and 2HKOes Togekiss, is the prime choice for providing good coverage, and also takes down Shaymin, Celebi, and Zapdos. Grass Knot can be used to take down Swampert and Suicune, but this allows many Pokemon, most notably Dragonite, to check Empoleon.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
This set forgoes the use of Substitute and Petaya Berry to use three attacks, which gives it more rounded coverage against a variety of threats. Despite Life Orb's lower boost when compared to Petaya Berry, this set has the advantage of being able to set up multiple times during a match. The moveset is fairly self-explanatory; Agility allows Empoleon to boost its Speed and sweep with its three coverage moves: Surf, Ice Beam, and Grass Knot. Hydro Pump is an option over Surf as the added power helps KO Pokemon that Surf would otherwise be unable to, such as Tyranitar.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Empoleon's typing and respectable movepool allow it to be a great lead. With access to Stealth Rock and a priority move to top it off, it can effectively deal with many common leads. It can take out faster, frail leads with a combination of Hydro Pump and Aqua Jet, and set up Stealth Rock on slower leads before taking them out. Hydro Pump deals huge damage to the likes of Hippowdon and Metagross, whereas Surf can be used for more reliability, as it will still deal with Infernape and Tyranitar. Grass Knot takes care of Swampert and other Water-types that switch in to wall Empoleon, but Ice Beam can be used to take down Dragonite and Gliscor, although the latter can still be worn down with Hydro Pump.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
With a superb defensive typing, a decent support movepool, and solid defensive stats, Empoleon can do a fine job at supporting its team. Empoleon might lack the bulk of Suicune and Swampert, but its typing grants it resistances to some of the most common attacking types and gives it several opportunities to switch in and KO the opponent or force it out.
Surf is a great move to have, and pretty much mandatory on Empoleon. As this Empoleon is not a sweeper, bulky Water-types such as Swampert are more of a threat due to their ability to stall it out, Roar it away, or otherwise set up on it. As such, Grass Knot is a must-have for this set. Hidden Power Electric is recommended in the third slot to deal with Water-types such as Gyarados, who take less damage from Grass Knot, while Ice Beam can take out troublesome Dragon- and Grass-types, such as Dragonite and Shaymin, respectively. In addition to checking common threats, Empoleon can also make use of several support options: Roar gives it a tool to phaze setup sweepers while scouting the opponent's team, while Stealth Rock is a great alternative to weaken the opponent's team gradually; it also combines well with Roar to rack up even more damage over time.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Empoleon can choose to bypass the turns of setup and start hitting hard right away with Choice Specs equipped. Its high Special Attack in tandem with Choice Specs allows it to deal huge damage to a majority of your opponent's team. However, due to Choice Specs's locking effect, Empoleon will be switching a lot, and while it resists Stealth Rock, it still takes damage from Spikes. Considering the fact that Empoleon isn't a lightning bruiser, it will more often than not have to take a hit before it can attack. Fortunately, Empoleon's natural bulk allows it to take these hits and return fire for a KO more often than not.
Hydro Pump is the primary option to dish out as much pain as possible on the opponent; while Surf is a fine alternative for reliability, Hydro Pump's power is impressive. Ice Beam covers Grass- and Dragon-types that resist Hydro Pump and Surf, while Grass Knot destroys Water-types that resist the rest of the set. This set's most notable niche is Sleep Talk. Thanks to Empoleon's great resistances and decent bulk, it can work as an effective sleep absorber for the team. Sleep Talk allows it to attack while not being locked into one single attacking move. Hidden Power Electric is an alternative over Sleep Talk to land the OHKO on Gyarados and 2HKO on Vaporeon with Stealth Rock damage, but achieves little on the set besides that.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Empoleon has a good movepool for what it needs, but lacks many notable other options. With access to Swords Dance to boost its mediocre Attack and a usable physical movepool consisting of Earthquake, Aqua Jet, Waterfall, Drill Peck, Return, and Avalanche, Empoleon can become a neat physical sweeper, but it lacks the power and Speed to sweep properly. Yawn can enable it to phaze, but Roar is better and Empoleon often can't risk guessing if the opponent will stay in to attack or switch out to dodge the sleep. Flash Cannon is available for a secondary STAB move, but it offers redundant coverage with Empoleon's main moves and is easily resisted. Lastly, Knock Off can let defensive sets remove opponents' items, but is essentially useless once the job is done.
Checks and Counters
For hopefully obvious reasons, Blissey is the best counter to Empoleon; it can cripple Empoleon with Thunder Wave or wear it down with Seismic Toss. Setup sweeping Empoleon relies on Agility to outspeed and damage opponents before they can hit back, so faster Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Flygon and Choice Scarf Starmie can do serious damage to it. If they switch in on a revenge kill, or on Empoleon that hasn't used Agility or Substitute, Jolteon, Rotom-A, and Magnezone can destroy Empoleon with their STAB Electric-type attacks; in addition, the latter has Magnet Pull to prevent Empoleon from escaping. Finally, one can take advantage of the holes in Empoleon's coverage: variants without Ice Beam lose to Dragonite, Shaymin, and Celebi, while those without Grass Knot fall flat against Suicune and Vaporeon.
