- Democrats are moving America forward while Congressional Republicans admit they want to take us back to the "exact same" failed policies of Bush that drove us into the ditch.
- Congressional Republicans are protecting Wall Street, Big Oil, health insurance companies and corporations who use tax loopholes to ship U.S. jobs overseas -- voting against investments that put Americans to work building roads, bridges, broadband, wind turbines, and solar panels that will help America lead the world -- and voting against tax cuts for small businesses to help create hundreds of thousands of local jobs.
Tri-Parish Times (Louisiana) - La. trawlers get stimulus cash, training in business [DISTRICT MENTIONED: Charlie Melancon (LA-3)]
Louisiana trawlers are encouraged to participate in a program that will provide business training and money.
Funding for the program stems from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Because trawling is one of many American commodities affected by imports, trawlers can apply for the Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers (TAAF) Program…
'We're trying to provide them with the tools to go out and be more efficient with their operations and be successful for a very long time, and they will be provided with some financial assistance on top of the training,' said LSU Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness professor Dr. Kurt Guidry.

Wall Street Journal - Microloans Help Some Small US Businesses Survive And Expand [DISTRICT MENTIONED: Jose Serrano (NY-16)]
Like many small businesses caught in the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, Tri-State Biodiesel was struggling to find capital last year in the middle of a credit crunch…In the end, [Founder and Chief Executive Brent] Baker got a $50,000, three-year loan at a reasonable rate from Boc Capital, a lender that received $750,000 from the federal government thanks to the 2009 stimulus bill last year, to help small businesses just like Tri-State Biodiesel.
When President Barack Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act into law in February 2009 to create jobs and promote spending, the law included $56.1 million for microloans for small businesses, to be doled out through the Small Business Administration through September. [8/11]
The Holland Sentinel (Michigan) - Holland Township seeing the light, going green [DISTRICT MENTIONED: R-Peter Hoekstra (MI-2): Voted NO on Recovery Act]
Holland Township hopes to save some green by going green.
The township will replace light fixtures in three facilities with new energy efficient lighting with the help of a $43,000 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant managed by Ottawa County.
The grant is part of $343,000 the county received from the ARRA to pass through to 22 townships and cities.
The new light fixtures would be outfitted with new, energy-efficient bulbs. The public works building project is expected to pay for itself in 2.2 years, township office in 5.1 years and parks department building in six years.
"That's a pretty good payback, a pretty good energy savings," Township Treasurer Vince Bush said at Thursday's meeting. [8/11]
The Sandy Post (Oregon) - Federal stimulus dollars allow Timberline improvements [DISTRICT MENTIONED: Earl Blumenauer (OR-3)]
Timberline Lodge was built during the Great Depression as what - in modern parlance - we would call an economic recovery project.
Now, history is repeating itself: Timberline Lodge is again benefiting from economic recovery dollars, this time courtesy of President Barack Obama's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
Mt. Hood National Forest won $4.25 million in ARRA funds from the U.S. Forest Service last July for several projects at Timberline Lodge, including rebuilding one of its chimneys, painting its exterior and increasing its energy efficiency by replacing the original windows still in guest rooms.
The central purpose of all the activity at Timberline is, of course, "putting people to work," [Mt. Hood National Forest spokesman Rick] Acosta said. [8/11]

M-Su 5pm-10pm
Neighborhoods: Downtown, Central San Antonio
It's not surprising Non-Texans don't understand a fine Txxas Steakhouse. I'm from Texas and I love the Little Rhein. Sure it's pricey. Good food isn't cheap. Quality dining demands quality pricing. Not surprised those from the North struggle with the price tags.
Overpriced, so-so food, not worth it – We wanted to go to a non-chain and try Texas steak. The steak was not really tasty. I mean- it was good but mid-chain quality. The twiced backed potato was tasteless other than the slight heat of the jalapenos. Tomatoes were not the quality you'd expect from a restaurant like this. The bread is the same as they serve at Outback. The asparagus was under cooked and tasteless. The wine was well priced. We spent almost $200 before tip. I would have much rather gone to Morton's whose steak always blows me away. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was cute (we sat in wine room).
Little Rhein Needs to grow up – This restaurant was recommended by a Professional Aquaintance. Finding it was easy once we were seated, the Waiters (2) were hovering over us, hurrying us to order. We ordered some drinks and said give us some time. The waiter left and came back imediately and continued to want us to order. I ordered an appetizer which is the Lump Crab avocado. He left and was back in 3 minutes wanting to finish the order. We fetlt pressured into order. This is an expensive restauraunt and we should be left to enjoy the experience of the location and the history of this restaurant. They brought out a Black eye pea soup that was cold and had absolutely no flavor even as I added a bunch of salt. The Crab was brought to us and It looked more like a dip and I thought it needed some chips or something to go with it. We ordered the Riby Eeye and Salmon.
After what was in our opinion an very long time, I asked the waiter as to the Status of our food. He did not know and went to find out. He came back 5 minutes later and brought out our food which was still warm. after only a few bites, the food got cold on us. The flavor of the steaks was nominal, I have had better steaks from Krogers.
There is nothing spectacular about this restaurant. I believe that it cater to tourists and their quality control has disappeared.
Perhaps the Most Overpriced Meal Ever! – Wow, this place must cater to business conference suckers with big expense accounts. The prices are so outrageous for what you get that they're really comical! First, the menu is nearly all steak, so if you don't like steak, then you've got few options. The prices for these steaks are mostly in the $40 range. That of course, doesn't include anything. So a side of vegetables or potatoes is $8 - each! I was also very disappointed that they brought the wrong wine. I'm willing to pay the type of prices they charge here for someplace special - a place that has unique food that is well prepared. There is absolutely no value here.
Wonderful Meal – Food and service was wonderful. It was a Monday evening and there were no problems with seating. Atmosphere was quiet and cozy. I didn?t have anything from the wine list.
quaint restaurant with great steak! – My date - a know glutton, said that this was among the best filets he has ever eaten. Perfectly cooked, wonderful flavor, good service, tasty side dish, fresh appetizers, robust wine list (including by the glass). As for me, I also thoroughly enjoyed my perfectly appointed steak, tasty beefsteak tomato salad and well prepared martini. The chocolate cake was moist, and a well chosen compliment to our coffee at the end of the meal. Many thanks to the cab driver who recommended that we eat here.
Nasty! – I was visiting Texas from out of town and was looking forward to a delicious steak. I didn't want to go to a chain, and this place seemed to have good reviews, so I decided to check this place out. The quality of the meat was lacking. I ordered the ribeye, which I knew would be fatty (it's my favorite cut normally), but I ended up throwing out half of it because it was all fat! Totally not worth the price I paid.
Best Birthday – Thank you to the Little Rhein Steak House for the best birthday that I have had in 45 years. From the moment that my date and I pulled up until the point in which we we leaving, we were greeted and treated like special guests. Our waiter, John, was not only very professional, but he was also very personable. The food was excellent. We started with the beefstake tomatoes, then the steaks, asparagus, potatoes and finally the chocolate cake. The wine that we drank was also superb!
Don't waste your money – Visited San Antonio this weekend, was looking forward to eating some good steak.
Little Rhein is NOT the place. Very disappointing food, and especially service! Too many, so i'll just list:
was not greeted by hostess
very cramped restaurant
no parking lot, valet only
unprofessional/unclean appearance of wait staff
unfriendly wait staff
waiter did not wait until i cut into my steak to leave (ordered a filet rare)
waiter did not serve ladies at table first
no "thank you" at all, even when walking out of the restaurant
steak had no flavor (table next to mine using A1!??)
A1 on a $40 overcooked steak, should tell you something is wrong, either with the steak or the clientele. my opinion? BOTH
A little stone house with history that's meaty and meat good enough to make history. – The Scene
Part of the city's original settlement, La Villita, the Little Rhein also opens onto the Riverwalk. The location wasn't always such a good thing; the downstairs rooms were completely hidden by silt from river floods until the '50s. These days, the historic charm brings even locals into the heart of the city to celebrate. The limestone walls of the former home transform the Little Rhein into an intimate environment for great conversation and a good glass of wine.
The Food
A favorite for convention-goers on expense accounts, Little Rhein serves thick Texas steaks and hearty potatoes, as well as lamb chops, lobster tails and salmon. Accompaniments like asparagus and sauteed mushrooms and a nice wine list flesh out the carnivore binge most visitors come here for.

Decision Maker
Admit it: The only folks who hate passwords more than your users are the ones on your help desk. How many passwords do your users need? Three? Five? And I'll bet you make your users change those passwords every couple of months, as well as forcing them to remember D1ffiCu!t passwords on top of it all.
Despite all that, there isn't a password alive that your users could remember which can't be cracked in seconds.
Passwords are stored as hashes, and a rainbow table provides a fast way to look up any particular hash and get its clear-text version. Torrents are full of pre-generated rainbow tables that can crack a password of up to 10 characters, containing any ASCII character. So all the symbols and numbers your users have to toss into their passwords? Not protecting you one extra bit.
Find Another Factor
One-time passwords, typically generated by an authentication token, are the way to go. In the past, these have been limited to a key fob form factor -- and they were a hassle to use. You had to buy physical tokens from the same company that sold you the back-end integration solution, which got expensive. You issued tokens to users, ensuring the back-end system knew which user had which token. Users created a four- to six-digit PIN to go with their tokens, and that had to be stored as well.
The situation is vastly different today. You'll usually buy your back-end software from one vendor, and you're not stuck buying tokens from the same one. Most tokens and back-end solutions now comply with the Open Authentication (OATH) interoperability standard, which means you can buy from anyone. That's driven prices down to less than $5 per user in some cases. The back-end solution will typically integrate in some fashion with Active Directory, but will also usually provide a RADIUS interface so that nearly anything can authenticate. A client-side agent for Windows computers modifies your usual Ctrl+Alt+Delete screen to provide token-based logins.
And tokens have evolved beyond key fobs. While those are still popular, credit card-sized tokens are also available, and software tokens are available for almost every mobile device out there. Work-at-home users can even get Windows-based software tokens for their home computers, making it easy for them to log into the network and continue working as if they were in the office.
Token management? Also vastly improved. Nowadays users can be issued a token with no advanced enrollment. They simply visit an intranet Web site to register their token, using their old logon credentials, and establish a PIN. This self-service mechanism takes pretty much all of the overhead off of the IT staff.
Many systems also come with Web-based, one-time-password systems designed to accommodate contractors and other casual logon users. You don't need to issue them a token; instead, they utilize pattern-based numeric passwords. Essentially, they memorize a short pattern of blocks in a grid (think of a Bingo card -- your pattern is a "C" shape). You show them a grid with numbers in each square, and they type in the numbers that correspond to their block pattern. The numbers change every time. No password to remember, change, forget, unlock or anything -- and no hardware token either.
But Will They Like It?
The standard industry statistic is that a password reset or account unlock call costs you about $33, and that most help desks spend about one-third of their time handling those calls. With two-factor, token-based authentication, that pretty much goes away. There are no passwords to forget, so they don't need to be reset, and accounts don't need unlocking. You don't need a password reset self-service intranet solution. Help desk costs go down. User disgruntlement goes down.
Companies have stayed away from two-factor authentication in droves, partially because of the perceived costs and high overhead. Many companies hear "two-factor authentication" and immediately think "smart cards," which are indeed more expensive to manage in the long run, and which definitely come with some high overhead in terms of issuing and maintaining them. Hardware tokens, on the other hand, have become cheap -- and they're supplemented by the availability of soft tokens for mobile devices, which in many cases the back-end software vendor can offer you for free.

I agree with Bob. I've tried to educate our users on creating secure passwords...even tried the pass phrase thing...which is what I assume Christopher is using...the more secure I make the requirements the more I've had to reset passwords...when users don't understand the difference between logging off, locking and restarting a computer, the learning curve is high...and it starts with the CEO...
Chris, I'll trade my users for yours. My problem is that the people highest up in the company think that a 10 character password (let alone a 12 character or, OMG, 40 character password) is unnecessary. If I can't convince them, it does not matter what the other 90% or 95% or even 99% think. Even so, I would be interested in knowing more about your approach.
I have developed a zero cost two factor authentication solution called MyCloudKey and 0pass.
Users can use a device they already own to register as a security token.
Both the services are free and widely used. You can access it from www.mycloudkey.com and www.0pass.com
Despite Don Jones pedigree I must point out that this entire article is based on a false premise: users are stupid and/or lazy. I have been able to implement password policies in organisations which use complex passwords with an average length of more than forty characters with a 95% rate of user approval (I guess the other 5% were lazy and/or stupid) and a reset rate of close to 0%. It is not difficult to do, requires less than five minutes of training and makes rainbow tables an irrelevance.

I ordered the black/black color. My only complaint so far is that they are almost a light grey/brown color. Keep in mind any of the jelly 'black' shoes will likely all be off color from the photo. I also found them looser than the other flats from Crocs I own, but the looseness isn't a negative for me. The looseness might be a concern if you like the super snug feel of the solid flats.

I've been wearing crocs for years. Recently got a new job in the city and will be walking lots between metro stations and needed something comfortable, went looking for some cute flats. I have a wider foot, I ordered the size 11 cause that's my size. Fits perfect. Shoes are like walking on an air cloud. I'll be back for more. MAKE MORE OPEN TOES!

Perfection at its Best – 2/14/2009 had the v-day special was so pleased the food was cook to perfection . the waitress was kind and very helpful . The service was great . My date and I had the worst table but the best food and the best service . I will be coming back for more .
Dont get steak here. Waste of money here. – Waste of our money. Very noisy. The worst NY strip steak we ever had. Very overrated. The waitress spoke to us like we were children.
If you can't choose between hearty pastas of choice meats, this Italian steakhouse offers the best of both worlds. – In Short
How do you like your ambience? Whether you sit in the lively main dining room, the intimate private dining area, or go for the quieter street hum of the L-shaped outdoor patio, you're never too far from the wine cellar and martini bar, keeping your lips moist between courses. Whether daily ravioli specials or lasagna Bolognese tempt you or less carb-intensive seafood and meats entice you, saving room for dessert is a breeze given shot glass-sized servings of classics like tiramisu and raspberry cheesecake.
A little disappointed. – My husband and I were seated at 7:15 for a 7:00 reservation which I don't mind, but we were ignored for a good 10 minutes, after the hostess tried to seat us at a horrible table in the most remote possible corner in the lounge. I am not going to pay $20.00 for a pork chop and have to sit at a patio table which was so crowded with the space, not the people, that I kept bumping into the lady behind me. The ala carte menu was not worth the price and my grilled vegetables were cold. Maybe they were having an off night, but I felt like the waiters couldn't figure out who was going to wait on us and we had spotty service at that. I won't be rushing back and I didn't feel like I should have tipped 20%.
Bad to Eat, Easy to Sit – I was surprised that the food was so bad. The hosts were nice in seating us quickly, but the food was certainly not worth waiting for anyway: salad was terrible, lasagna was nothing special, and steak was overcooked. The service was ok, but made few mistakes in delivering the food, which had to be returned. For the cost, I don't think it's worth it.
Like Velvet – The food is very good (try the muscles) but the atmosphere is better. Fantastic bar on the weekends when the music is live. Sit back, have a cocktail and enjoy the smooth sounds of clasic lounge performers.

Peripheral Arterial Disease
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) affects one in 20 Americans over age 50 and raises the risk for heart attack and stroke. PAD develops when extra cholesterol and other fats circulating in the blood forms plaque in the walls of the arteries that supply blood to limbs.
PAD is commonly seen in the legs; however, it can form in arteries in the arms, head, kidneys and stomach.
People at risk for PAD are:
- Age 50 or older
- Smokers or former smokers
- Diabetics
- Likely to have high blood pressure and/or cholesterol
- Likely to have a personal history of vascular disease, heart attack or stroke
Signs and symptoms of PAD include:
- Claudication—fatigue, heaviness, tiredness, cramping in the leg, buttocks, thigh or calf muscles
- Pain in the legs and/or feet
- Sores or wounds on toes, feet or legs that heal slowly or not at all
- Color changes in the skin, including paleness or blueness
- Warm feeling in one leg
- Poor nail growth and decreased hair growth on toes and legs

Let's play the always fun game, "can Mike get this post up before his phone dies while sitting at CitiField watching the Mets getting crushed." Reports are that the Dodgers have traded two prospects for Royals OF Scott Podsednik.
In a vacuum, I don't hate this as much as you'd think. He's had two decently okay years for KC, and he's an asset on the bases. Assuming that this expedites the release of Garret Anderson, its a plus. Its not a game changer, but its an improvement.
Of course, it all hinges on who the minor leaguers are. Its impossible to judge this trade until then, so consider this a conditional "okay deal".
Update: E.Pimentel & Lucas May. I update my position to "huge fail". Pimentel, as I remember, was having a breakout year, and May was raking in ABQ. The catching depth is now razor thin. Horrendous.
Update 2: I was advised to look up pictures of Podsednik's wife. I hereby withdraw any and all objections to this trade.

- Birth Place: Arguineguín
- Height: 5' 7'' (1.70m)

Last Game
Manchester City 3 - 1 West Bromwich Albion
Barclays Premier League
April 21, 2014
2013/14 English Premier League
After impressive loan spells with Eibar and Celta Vigo early in his career, Silva, who was spotted by Valencia playing in the Canary Islands aged 15, was hurried back to the Mestalla for the start of the 2006-07 season. Taking the No. 21 shirt from departing playmaker Pablo Aimar, Silva wasted little time in assuming creative responsibilities and linked up well with team-mate and fellow Spaniard David Villa.
Valencia may have suffered no end of financial problems but, despite the close attentions of a number of top sides, Silva showed admirable loyalty in remaining with the club and was rewarded in 2007-08 when winning his first major trophy in the shape of the Copa del Rey. However, he then chose to continue his career at Manchester City after picking up the World Cup in the summer.
Strengths: Silva is an excellent footballer who is equally at home as a conventional winger, a wide man in a front three or in the hole behind the strikers. A sprightly dribbler with a creative eye, Silva is a master at teeing up his team-mates.
Weaknesses: There is a suspicion that Silva is a bit lightweight and can too easily be muscled off the ball. He could also contribute more goals having scored a total of just 17 in the Primera Liga between 2005 and 2009.
Career high: Winning the 2010 World Cup.
Career low: Missing out on the Champions League places at the end of a tumultuous 2008-09 season that saw Valencia embroiled in financial troubles.
Style: Dynamic, exciting, fluid, a real livewire.
Quotes: "Logically Kaka has won more and done more in the game, but David is heading that way with steady performances. If I had to choose either, I'd stay with David." - Valencia coach Unai Emery, September 2009
Trivia: Of Asian descent on his mother's side, rumours began circulating that Silva was an excellent machete fighter. This has since been denied.

Sign up to the Nyéléni Newsletter
In recent years, hundreds of organisations and movements have been engaged in struggles, activities, and various kinds of work to defend and promote the right of people to Food Sovereignty around the world. Many of these organizations were present in the Nyéléni Forum 2007 and feel part of a broader Food Sovereignty Movement, that considers the Nyéléni declaration as its political platform. The Nyéléni Newsletter wants to be the voice of this international movement.
Following the International Forum on Food Sovereignty held in Mali in February 2007, the social movements that brought this initiative to life created a tool for communication and exchange in order to continue the fight for food sovereignty and to defend the interests of disadvantaged groups such as small-scale farmers, fisherfolk, indigenous peoples and those living from pastoralism. The situation of these groups continues to deteriorate due to the ongoing assaults of an increasingly inhuman capitalism.
A new wave of landgrabbing can now be added to the problems of our times, a reality which the World Bank seeks to legitimize in its latest report. It is therefore urgent and critical for social movements to regroup and to strengthen our alliances in order to deal with the offensive of neoliberalism, unprecedented in the history of mankind. This newsletter aims to bring a small stone to the edifice of resistance that will be built to counteract transnational corporations, the World Bank and their allies. We urge all organisations and all movements committed to the struggle for food sovereignty to embark with us on this journey.
The newsletter will be published every two months and is available on the Nyéléni website.

The Meso American Forum against Agribusiness, El Salvador
This June the first Forum Against Agribusiness and for the Peoples' Sovereignty of Meso America, was held in El Salvador over two days. The forum reached the overwhelming conclusion that the capitalist system needs to be dismantled.
The Forum was organized by the World March of Women, La Via Campesina and Friends of the Earth Latin America and the Caribbean.
The social movements agreed that their most "urgent and important" task is to change the capitalist model that has led to the disappearance of human kind, as soon as possible.
"That paradigm will destroy us and we are running out of time", said Ricardo Navarro of CESTA / Friends of the Earth El Salvador at the closing event. "In order to face this challenge of changing the paradigm we will have to understand that the planet is more than a home you have to keep clean". For that reason Navarro says that the ancestral vision that compares the earth with a mother is more accurate.
At the end of the event the social movements issued a joint declaration expressing their support for food and energy sovereignty, the right and access to drinking water for all, GM free and transnational corporations free territories. They expressed their rejection to militarization, criminalization and violence against women, metal mining, dams, land grabbing, monoculture plantations, agrofuels, agrotoxics, and junk food.
They agreed that it is not possible to change the current system without destroying the old model. The only way to break with the structure of this terror and death regime, they said, is through alliances, the promotion of a real and true land reform and food sovereignty, with the conviction that peasant farming is the only path to cool the planet.
"Only together and united are we to create new forms of livelihood, solidarity, sustainability and sovereignty, and build alternatives for the peoples and by the peoples with Mother Earth for good lving and for the common goods of our territories", concludes the declaration.

The Global Week of Action against GM crops
From April 12-17 protesters across the European Union took part in a week of action against Genetically Modified (GM) crops in Europe.
The country that saw most of the demonstrations was Spain, the only EU member that cultivates GM crops on a large-scale. The cultivation of such crops in Spain is leading to problems in their countryside and their food. More than fifteen percent of Spanish soy and corn-based food is already contaminated with genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and is not labeled appropriately, according to the Spanish Food Security Agency.
At the beginning of the week several social organisations took part in an action outside of congress protesting at the recent decision to allow German chemical giant BASF to grow GM potatoes in EU member states for industrial usage.
Environmental groups across the EU are concerned that GMOs could contaminate other crops and once they're in the food chain it will be impossible to eradicate them.
Those taking part in the action dressed as chefs and executives from BASF and Monsanto - another producer of GM technology - and offered free tortillas to passers-by giving them the option of organic or GM.
The peoples' reaction was conclusive; nobody, from the general public to congress members and their staff wanted to eat the GM tortilla.
Last year 76,000 hectares of land were cultivated with GM corn in Spain. The crop is developed with an absolute lack of transparency and control. There have been numerous cases of harvests and food contamination. Still, the government ignores the social and environmental impacts and consequences on health, which have led the other countries to ban it.
Targeting Spanish embassies
Later in the week demonstrations took place outside Spanish embassies in Cyprus, the United Kingdom, Austria, Lithuania, France and Portugal.
Finally, the week culminated in a demonstration in Madrid where 15,000 people marched under the slogan 'For a GM Free Food and Agriculture'.
Farmers, ecologists and consumers from all over Spain marched on the city calling on the government to follow the same path taken by countries like France, Germany or Austria and ban the cultivation of GM corn in Spain.
Speaking at the event David Sanches, head of the Friends of the Earth Agriculture and Food campaign said:
"The government's attitude on this issue is absolutely unacceptable. These actions show that it is clearly isolated in the EU in its position in defence of GMOs. Besides damaging our environment and endangering the public health, the Government's position is seriously damaging the image of Spain and its food abroad."

European Commission gives green light to genetically modified potatoes
A decision by Europe's new health and consumer commissioner, John Dalli, to give the go ahead for genetically modified potatoes to be grown in Europe, has been condemned by Friends of the Earth Europe.
The 'Amflora' potato, designed to produce starch for industrial purposes by Germany´s chemical giant BASF, carries a controversial antibiotic resistant gene which it cannot be guaranteed will not enter the food chain.
Heike Moldenhauer, GMO spokesperson for Friends of the Earth Europe said:
"This is a bad day for European citizens and the environment. The new Commissioner whose job is to protect consumers has in one of his first decisions ignored public opinion and safety concerns to please the world's biggest chemical company. This decision puts profit before people or the environment and will do little to increase public confidence in the Brussels bureaucracy.
"There are clear health concerns surrounding this GM potato. The antibiotics affected by Amflora are vital tools against illness and despite growing resistance to these life saving drugs, industry has added them to potatoes with no guarantees that they will not get into the food chain. This is nothing less then a crass decision that puts the public at risk."
Amflora is highly controversial mainly due to its antibiotic resistant gene. The potato was given official approval by the European Food Safety Authority but for the first time the judgment of the scientific body wasn't unanimous. Two EFSA scientists stated that the possibility of a transfer of antibiotic resistant genes to bacteria within the gastro-intestinal-tract cannot be predicted.
Two other conventional potato varieties already on the market have the same characteristics as Amflora – one developed by German plant breeder Europlant, the other by Dutch company Avebe. The existence of these non-GM alternatives means that there is no reason for farmers to have to cultivate Amflora for the European starch industry and no need to introduce the risk of spreading antibiotic resistance.

Day of action against Monsanto in Mexico
To mark World Food Day on October 16 Otros Mundos (Friends of the Earth Mexico) organised a festival-event in the square Plaza de Mexicanos in San Cristobal, where it provided information on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and their effects and it exposed the actions of 'Monsanto' to the public.
A large stage was built for the event that included a banner with the legend: "El Santo vs. Monsanto" (The Saint vs. Monsanto) that included crucial information about the company's activities. Monsanto have a significant in the region. A 'GM stand' was also built with the packaging of products that use GMOs.
Throughout the day there was a campaign to collect signatures to demand the local government to declare Chiapas GM-free because of the risk implied by GM and biochemical contamination of native maize seeds. One of the spokespersons of the Civil Organization 'Las Abejas' (The bees) who have depended on native maize production for generations. They also backed the petition.
There were other activities such as live music, the selling of organic food by community women, children's drawings on maize and its importance, and the contribution of a drums group from Tabasco, which joined the demonstration along the main roads of town carrying banners against Monsanto and GM food in general.

Dawn Chmielewski and Meg James reported tonight that Hulu will begin testing a $9.95 "Hulu Plus" subscription offering as soon as May 24. According to their LA Times article, the Hulu Plus offering will open access for viewers to watch many more shows than are currently offered. (Hulu's content license restrictions currently allow viewers access to only the five most recent episodes for most shows.)
Last month, I wrote that for Hulu, advertising won't be enough. Tonight, I predict Hulu's subscription program will be successful with consumers, and will be a business success for Hulu.
First, here's why — unlike many other subscription programs — Hulu's will work:
Net, this is an impressive combination. Unlike many of the subscription offerings being floated by others, which move information that can be found in many places behind a paywall, Hulu's offering is unique enough and compelling enough that it's worth consumers paying for.
As for the business benefit to Hulu, they are already receiving high monetization. At reported $100MM annualized revenues over comScore-reported 695MM pageviews per month, Hulu already monetizes at $12 per 1,000 pageviews. Even if subscribers view 10 times as many pages per month as average users, Hulu will still more than double its revenues from those customers.
With an outstanding value proposition and great monetization potential, this subscription program is a win-win for Hulu and its audience.

Simply..the Best – This shop knew how do do things. Now, we're getting ready for my last daughter's wedding, and we are all missing Santa Barbara Bridal more than ever. Every other salon we go to is just a disappointment in comparison. I wish they were still in town.
Recommend them very highly – Wow..I second the above. We had a very good experience at this salon. First went to the other two places in town and were horrified at the lack of service...they barely raised their eyes up when we walked into one store that claims to be a "couture" salon. After our less than excellent time there, decided to tough out one more place and were so pleased with the women at Santa Barbara Bridal. It was a bit intimidating to just walk in, but we were glad we did. They took plenty of time to help us, explain how the process works, and they graciously helped us even without having an appointment. The entire day was revived, and we couldn't have asked for a more pleasant time. I highly recommend them to anyone...don't bother going elsewhere.
Most beautiful salon in California! – I brought my daughter and her bridesmaids to Santa Barbara Bridal after numerous frustrating experiences at other salons in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. The staff at Santa Barbara Bridal was amazing..they catered superbly to all of our needs, spending over three hours helping find everything we needed. Their gowns are unbelievable! My daughter found a stunning Vera Wang gown and bridesmaids dresses that were so affordable and the girls could easily wear again, and the owner gave us a great price. I highly recommend this salon to anyone who wants the best service and beautiful products in a gorgeous salon.

- Efficient strictness analysis of Haskell in Haskell using abstract reduction (1997)
- The extraction of strictness information marks an indispensable element of an efficient compilation of lazy functional languages like Haskell. Based on the method of abstract reduction we have developed an e cient strictness analyser for a core language of Haskell. It is completely written in Haskell and compares favourably with known implementations. The implementation is based on the G#-machine, which is an extension of the G-machine that has been adapted to the needs of abstract reduction.

- Automatic extraction of context information from programs using abstract reduction (1997)
- This paper describes context analysis, an extension to strictness analysis for lazy functional languages. In particular it extends Wadler's four point domain and permits in nitely many abstract values. A calculus is presented based on abstract reduction which given the abstract values for the result automatically finds the abstract values for the arguments. The results of the analysis are useful for veri fication purposes and can also be used in compilers which require strictness information.

- On proving the equivalence of concurrency primitives (2008)
- Various concurrency primitives have been added to sequential programming languages, in order to turn them concurrent. Prominent examples are concurrent buffers for Haskell, channels in Concurrent ML, joins in JoCaml, and handled futures in Alice ML. Even though one might conjecture that all these primitives provide the same expressiveness, proving this equivalence is an open challenge in the area of program semantics. In this paper, we establish a first instance of this conjecture. We show that concurrent buffers can be encoded in the lambda calculus with futures underlying Alice ML. Our correctness proof results from a systematic method, based on observational semantics with respect to may and must convergence.

- On correctness of buffer implementations in a concurrent lambda calculus with futures (2009)
- Motivated by the question of correctness of a specific implementation of concurrent buffers in the lambda calculus with futures underlying Alice ML, we prove that concurrent buffers and handled futures can correctly encode each other. Correctness means that our encodings preserve and reflect the observations of may- and must-convergence. This also shows correctness wrt. program semantics, since the encodings are adequate translations wrt. contextual semantics. While these translations encode blocking into queuing and waiting, we also provide an adequate encoding of buffers in a calculus without handles, which is more low-level and uses busy-waiting instead of blocking. Furthermore we demonstrate that our correctness concept applies to the whole compilation process from high-level to low-level concurrent languages, by translating the calculus with buffers, handled futures and data constructors into a small core language without those constructs.

- A complete proof of the safety of Nöcker's strictness analysis (2005)
- This paper proves correctness of Nöcker's method of strictness analysis, implemented in the Clean compiler, which is an effective way for strictness analysis in lazy functional languages based on their operational semantics. We improve upon the work of Clark, Hankin and Hunt did on the correctness of the abstract reduction rules. Our method fully considers the cycle detection rules, which are the main strength of Nöcker's strictness analysis. Our algorithm SAL is a reformulation of Nöcker's strictness analysis algorithm in a higher-order call-by-need lambda-calculus with case, constructors, letrec, and seq, extended by set constants like Top or Inf, denoting sets of expressions. It is also possible to define new set constants by recursive equations with a greatest fixpoint semantics. The operational semantics is a small-step semantics. Equality of expressions is defined by a contextual semantics that observes termination of expressions. Basically, SAL is a non-termination checker. The proof of its correctness and hence of Nöcker's strictness analysis is based mainly on an exact analysis of the lengths of normal order reduction sequences. The main measure being the number of 'essential' reductions in a normal order reduction sequence. Our tools and results provide new insights into call-by-need lambda-calculi, the role of sharing in functional programming languages, and into strictness analysis in general. The correctness result provides a foundation for Nöcker's strictness analysis in Clean, and also for its use in Haskell.

- On the safety of Nöcker's strictness analysis (2004)
- This paper proves correctness of Nocker s method of strictness analysis, implemented for Clean, which is an e ective way for strictness analysis in lazy functional languages based on their operational semantics. We improve upon the work of Clark, Hankin and Hunt, which addresses correctness of the abstract reduction rules. Our method also addresses the cycle detection rules, which are the main strength of Nocker s strictness analysis. We reformulate Nocker s strictness analysis algorithm in a higherorder lambda-calculus with case, constructors, letrec, and a nondeterministic choice operator used as a union operator. Furthermore, the calculus is expressive enough to represent abstract constants like Top or Inf. The operational semantics is a small-step semantics and equality of expressions is defined by a contextual semantics that observes termination of expressions. The correctness of several reductions is proved using a context lemma and complete sets of forking and commuting diagrams. The proof is based mainly on an exact analysis of the lengths of normal order reductions. However, there remains a small gap: Currently, the proof for correctness of strictness analysis requires the conjecture that our behavioral preorder is contained in the contextual preorder. The proof is valid without referring to the conjecture, if no abstract constants are used in the analysis.

- Fast equality test for straight-line compressed strings (2011)
- The paper describes a simple and fast randomized test for equality of grammar-compressed strings. The thorough running time analysis is done by applying a logarithmic cost measure. Keywords: randomized algorithms, straight line programs, grammar-based compression

- Deciding subset relationship of co-inductively defined set constants (2005)
- Static analysis of different non-strict functional programming languages makes use of set constants like Top, Inf, and Bot denoting all expressions, all lists without a last Nil as tail, and all non-terminating programs, respectively. We use a set language that permits union, constructors and recursive definition of set constants with a greatest fixpoint semantics. This paper proves decidability, in particular EXPTIMEcompleteness, of subset relationship of co-inductively defined sets by using algorithms and results from tree automata. This shows decidability of the test for set inclusion, which is required by certain strictness analysis algorithms in lazy functional programming languages.
