Articles in the IAU General Assembly Newspaper
IAU Planet Definition Committee
By Ron Ekers, President of the IAU
The IAU has been the arbiter of planetary and satellite nomenclature since its inception in 1919. The various IAU Working Groups normally handle this process, and their decisions primarily affect the professional astronomers. But from time to time the IAU takes decisions and makes recommendations on issues concerning astronomical matters affecting other sciences or the public. Such decisions and recommendations are not enforceable by any national or international law; rather they establish conventions that are meant to help our understanding of astronomical objects and processes. Hence, IAU recommendations should rest on well-established scientific facts and have a broad consensus in the community concerned.
The boundary between (major) planet and minor planet has never been defined and the recent discovery of other "Trans-Neptunian Objects" (TNOs), including some larger than Pluto, triggered the IAU to form a Working Group on "Definition of a Planet" from its Division III members. While there was general agreement on all the scientific issues related to Solar System dynamics and physical properties of planets, the IAU Division III Working Group could not agree on aspects that were related to social and cultural issues, such as the status of Pluto. In order to include these broader aspects, the IAU Executive Committee (EC) formed a new committee whose membership had backgrounds in history, science publishing, writing and education as well as in planetary science.
Terms of Reference
The Planet Definition Committee of the IAU Executive Committee was charged with:
- discussing the broader social implications of any new definition of a planet and recommending a course of action that balances the scientific facts with the need for social acceptance of any change;
- addressing the status of Pluto, and of the newly discovered TNOs in the light of recommendation (i);
- considering whether the current naming procedures for planets and minor planets have exacerbated the problem of defining a planet and recommending whether revisions are needed; and
- attempting to frame these recommendations as a resolution, or resolutions, that could be put before the Prague GA in August 2006 for possible adoption.
The Path to Defining Planets
By Owen Gingerich, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics/IAU EC "Planet Definition" Committee chair
Celestial nomenclature has long been fraught with controversy. Galileo proposed to name the large satellites of Jupiter the "Medicean planets"; William Herschel named his new planet after the English monarch, George III; Hevelius honoured the defender of Vienna with "Scutum Sobieski"; and Bode named a northern constellation after the comet hunter Charles Messier. None of these appellations have stood the test of time except for the fragment "Scutum".
At its inaugural meeting in 1922, the IAU standardized the constellation names and abbreviations. More recently IAU Committees or Working Groups have certified the names of asteroids, satellites, and planetary and satellite features. Until now, however, the IAU has never named a planet, and it has been unclear whether there are potential planets to be named.
How, in fact, should the word "planet" be defined?
This was the controversial question facing the committee established by the IAU Executive Committee with the charge to recommend a definition for an IAU resolution. The seven members represented a spectrum of opinion and expertise. We all knew that modern scientific advances have taught us that the Solar System is a far more complicated place than William Herschel and his contemporaries ever imagined, not only containing an assortment of planets, asteroids, and comets, but rocks, gravel, dust, and ions. We met in Paris for a vigorous discussion of both the scientific and the cultural/historical issues, and on the second morning several members admitted that they had not slept well, worrying that we would not be able to reach a consensus. But by the end of a long day, the miracle had happened: we had reached a unanimous agreement.
On the scientific side, we wanted to avoid arbitrary cut-offs simply based on distances, periods, magnitudes, or neighbouring objects. One physical criterion seemed pre-eminent: was the object shaped by hydrostatic equilibrium, that is, was it basically a round object? This criterion became the basis of our proposed definition. Objects with mass above 5 x 1020 kg and diameter greater than 800 km would normally be considered to be in hydrostatic equilibrium, but borderline cases would have to be established by observation. Even among these round Solar System objects there is a distinct difference between the major planets, whose orbits lie near the ecliptic plane, and those smaller objects with more eccentric, tilted orbits. Had astronomers realized in 1930 that Pluto was smaller than our Moon and with a mass well under 1% that of the Earth, perhaps some special designation would have been devised for it. On the cultural/historical side, combined with contemporary science, our committee felt that the time was ripe to recognize Pluto as the prototype of a different sort of planet. Consequently, we propose to distinguish between the eight classical planets discovered before 1900, and a new class of Trans-Neptunian Objects, for which we recommend the name "plutons."
The question immediately arises about the status of Pluto. Although Pluto remains a planet by the proposed definition, it will generally be preferable to call it a pluton to emphasise its role as the prototype for a physically distinct category of planetary bodies.
Specialists will at once recall that there are over a hundred so-called "plutinos," Trans-Neptunian lumps of rock, ice, and snow, each with the period 248 years (thus in a 3/2 resonance with the period of Neptune). These faint objects are in general not plutons. Plutons are at present very rare objects: Pluto, Charon, 2003 UB313, and perhaps several more, and anyone who finds a new pluton should be appropriately celebrated.
Savvy astronomers will notice that our definition also makes Ceres a planet, and if Pallas, Vesta, and Hygeia are found to be in hydrostatic equilibrium, they will also have to be considered planets. Without making a formal definition, we suggest that it might be convenient simply to refer to these small round members of our inner Solar System as "dwarf planets."
Did our committee think of everything, including extra-solar system planets? Definitely not! Science is an active enterprise, constantly bringing new surprises. Undoubtedly some future IAU committee will have to revisit this question and define the upper limit for "planet", probably well before 2106!
The Process of making a Resolution on the Definition of a Planet
By Robert Williams, Space Telescope Science Institute, Vice President of the IAU
Statements of scientific importance are expressed by the IAU in resolutions of the General Assembly. Although resolutions are non-binding they do represent the consensus scientific judgment of the members, and are arrived at by a process that involves member input and debate. As explained in the accompanying articles the question of the definition of a planet is of great interest within the Union and among the public, and Division III and the Executive Committee are attempting to set forth criteria that define planets and provide for a nomenclature for the different Solar System objects.
A Working Group under Division III was established to formulate a recommendation on the definition of a planet that could be put before the Executive Committee. Although that Working Group did not achieve a clear consensus, it did succeed in defining the important criteria and framing the discussion of issues to be considered. The EC studied the Division III Working Group report and decided to form its own advisory group, the Planet Definition Committee, to attempt to resolve the issue in a manner that had a solid scientific basis and which might achieve consensus support among members of the Union. Prof. Gingerich has described the work of the Planet Definition Committee, whose report has been received by the EC and used as a basis for framing the draft resolution that is now being put before the General Assembly. The current draft of the resolution "The Definition of a Planet" that has been approved by the EC and the Resolutions Committee appears with these articles.
The process by which resolutions are considered by the IAU is set forth in the Working Rules. It involves consideration by the Resolutions Committee and the Executive Committee, and discussion by the General Assembly before a vote taken in the second business meeting of the GA. Because of the potential impact of this resolution the EC is undertaking extra measures to assure full discussion of the draft during the General Assembly that will allow for possible revisions to the current version before it is presented to the GA at the closing business meeting. They include a discussion and debate of the resolution by Division III-Planetary Sciences at its scheduled meeting this Friday, 18 August. In addition, the EC is convening an extraordinary plenary session of the General Assembly to take place next Tuesday, 22 August, during the lunch break, which will be devoted entirely to a discussion of the draft resolution, and after which a "sense of the meeting" vote will be taken on the resolution as presented. We are fully aware of the potential difficulty in achieving a consensus on this complex issue, and we wish to provide ample opportunity for input from members in the formulation of the final resolution to be considered next week.
The key events that bear on the substance of the final resolution to be presented at the closing business meeting, and in which all IAU members are encouraged to participate, are (1) the discussion at the meeting of Division III on Friday, 18 August at 11:00 am in Club B, and (2) the Plenary Session on the Definition of a Planet on Tuesday, 22 August at 12:45 pm in Forum Hall. The Closing Session of the GA will be held Thursday 24 August at 14:00 in the Congress Hall and here the final resolution will be presented, discussed, and voted upon.
The EC reiterates our desire to benefit from members' input into this issue by your participation in these events, which are an important part of the IAU's mission to communicate the discoveries of astronomy to the public.

Last Thursday, the TMZ of sports websites — SportsByBrooks.com — caused quite a stir with a series of tweets. In them, the site claimed that NCAA president Mark Emmert had sent his representatives to talk with LSU officials about returning to the school (read from the bottom up):
Emmert responded by saying, "That's complete nonsense." On Friday, LSU board of supervisors athletic council chairman Stanley Jacobs said Emmert — who served as the school's chancellor from 1999 through 2004 — is "not coming back to LSU." Jacobs added: "He's making, I believe, 1.8 million as head of the NCAA, probably one of the most prestigious positions in the country."
Taking note of the fact that an LSU rep knew Emmert's salary, SportsByBrooks simply doubled down yesterday in response (again, from the bottom up):
While Emmert and Jacobs were pretty definitive in their statements, SportsByBrooks.com clearly isn't backing down from the story. However, it's important to remember that SportsByBrooks also never backed away from its many Cam Newton and Trent Richardson stories which, in the end, led to zero NCAA sanctions against Auburn or Alabama respectively.
Stay tuned…

Great for a Trad Hunter

About Me Expert Archer
This item is PERFECT for me, I use glue on heads and this allows me to use them, wood shafts tend to break and warp, but i can use these with carbons and they are perfect for any hunter, i recommend these 100%

up yours , I did
By drewsbow
from Dansville New York
I recently tried the 9/32 125 gr brass broad head adapters on the beman mfx arrows and loved them . This is a great way to up foc and bring the weight in towards the arrow for higher foc. These also allow you to use your favorite glue on head right on the front of carbons. I added the standard 100 gr brass inserts behind these brass adapters to get 225 up front and in the arrow and not out on the end creating a shorter overall arrow and once again increasing foc. These are a great step forward in this area. Thanks for a great product.

don't waste your time
By mudfish
from Florida
great idea but they were way too loose a fit in both carbon vapor and enforcer shafts, and Zwickey broadheads did not fit well on the taper either, I would not trust them to shoot deer or anything else
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: The taper is an industry standard 5-degree taper, which will fit all glue on field tips and broadheads. As for the sloppy fit, 3Rivers staff has tested these adapters to fit the shafting we have listed, but we cannot guarantee other shafting. 3Rivers Archery stands by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee on all our products and encourages any dissatisfied customers to contact our Customer Service.

100 gr. adapters and Beman 440 ICS
By Wudstix
from San Antonio TX
I tried these to get the weight of Beman 400 ICS arrows closer to my tapered wood arrows. They really help get the weight forward on carbons, seem to aid in accuracy and penetration of carbons from a longbow or recurve.

Week 1
Frequency and duration of feeding
- Nurse every two to three hours, with one four- or five-hour stretch at night if possible.
- Encourage your baby to nurse 8 to 12 times in a 24-hour period.
- Feed on demand rather than on a strict hourly schedule. This is a trial period where your body is getting used to the needs of your baby, not the other way around.
- Try to feed for at least 10 minutes per side.
- When you record the length of nursing, time the feeding from the beginning of one feed to the beginning of the next. So in reality, "eating every two hours" means that if one session lasts 45 minutes, the next session will start in an hour and 15 minutes.
- Even if your baby stops and rests for five minutes, count it as part of the total nursing time. It's unlikely that your baby will continuously suck for 30 straight minutes.
- Encourage your baby to feed on each breast, but the most important factor is the baby's contentment. If only one breast was served, start the next feeding on the other side.
- To release the latch, insert your finger into the corner of the baby's mouth between the gums to break the suction. Attempting to pull the nipple out while the baby is still latched on will most definitely traumatize the nipple, causing scabbing, cracking and pain.

BLOOMINGTON – The chant started from the student section at Assembly Hall with about 39 seconds remaining.
No. 1, No. 1.
Indiana was on the verge of knocking off the top-ranked Wolverines on Saturday. Coupled with an 85-80 loss by No. 2 Kansas to Oklahoma State, the fans knew the Hoosiers are likely headed back to the top of the national polls. Indiana defeated No. 1 Michigan 81-73 in front of 17,472 fans at Assembly Hall.
I said to the team after the game, We were picked No. 1 in April. We hadnt done anything. And when you lose, its like how did you lose? We picked you No. 1. Thats not what they play for, IU coach Tom Crean said. I think thats great. They are learning that those things are great. But the playing to improve, the playing to be good enough to win a game like this, to make adjustments, play through some mistakes and deal with some adversity. Thats whats most important.
Crean credited the teams improvements with handling the ball (five turnovers in the second half after 11 in the first) and defending three-pointers as keys to the win. Michigan was 2 of 11 from three-point territory in the first half and 7 of 23 for the game.
The Associated Press Top 25 poll is released today. The players are trying to keep the rankings in perspective.
Its a huge accomplishment, Victor Oladipo said of the possible return to the top spot. We started there. We had a hard road to get back here. But were taking it one game at a time. Its not how you start, its how you finish. Were just going to continue to keep working.
Indiana (20-2, 8-1 Big Ten) was ranked No. 1 in the preseason and held the top spot until losing to Butler 88-86 in overtime Dec. 15 in Indianapolis.
I dont get the sense that these guys are locked into those rankings at all, Crean said. When we were No. 1 in mid-December, they know what was said. Were we any worse because we lost by two? We didnt play that great that day, but it wasnt like the sky was falling.
We had to come in here and make sure they understood that. Thats whats most important. When they lose sight of the most important thing is how they play together and how they work and improve together, then you have issues. We dont plan on having any issues. We plan on keep making sure we stay locked into that and not let any of the nice things, the negative things, any of that stuff become a driving force for them.
Oladipo said the team will have the same approach regardless of where it stands in the rankings.
Weve been having a chip on our shoulder since I got here, Oladipo said. And were going to continue to play with chip because it can be taken at any second. Were going to go back and continue to keep getting better, not only in games, but in practices as well. Keep playing for each other and staying together.

What you really have to worry about is the gaps in your homeowners insurance that leave you on the hook for costly repairs.
You've no doubt noticed that premiums have gotten pretty pricey. Rates have climbed 69% over the past decade to an average of $1,000 a year.
What you may not realize is that you could be facing another vast expense. Insurers have also been quietly hiking deductibles, scaling back basic coverage, and adding new restrictions.
Coverage now varies widely among carriers, but that's not always clear when you're shopping around, says Daniel Schwarcz, a University of Minnesota professor who has studied hundreds of policies.
"Consumers shop almost entirely on price and reputation," notes Schwarcz, and exclusion clauses are often written in legalese and buried in a policy that runs dozens of pages. Moreover, comparison shopping is difficult, since consumers rarely get a copy of the policy before they buy.
When disaster strikes, you could get hit with tens of thousands of dollars in costs for damages that you thought were covered.
The reasons for the changes are complex. Homeowners is one of the least profitable types of insurance; on average, over the past 10 years firms have lost money on these policies, according to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).
Insurers say that's largely because of unpredictable weather. There were 953 "weather events" insurers considered catastrophes in the U.S. in the past five years, compared with 602 in the previous five, according to industry data.

In 2011 the amount insurers paid out for the average claim was nearly double the amount in 2002, according to the Insurance Research Council. More trouble: Firms make money in part by investing your premiums; that means at times they can recoup higher claims costs with market returns. The financial crisis and low interest rates haven't provided much relief there.
To cope with squeezed profits -- and so they could beef up their reserves to pay for freak massive storms -- insurers stopped writing new policies in some disaster-prone areas in recent years and pushed for higher premiums. Regulators pushed back on the prices. "If we allowed the rate increases companies wanted, nobody would be able to afford insurance," says Kevin McCarty, Florida's insurance commissioner and a past NAIC president.
So insurers made up the gap by cutting coverage, leaving homeowners in a precarious position, say consumer advocates. "It's easy to think you're covered when you're not," says Amy Bach, executive director of advocacy group United Policyholders, which has lobbied the states to reject stripped-down policies and make coverage more transparent.
For the foreseeable future, however, the onus is on you to make sure your biggest investment is fully protected. In the following you'll find out where your coverage most likely falls short and learn the best way to plug those holes.

After a day off from media availability on Monday, the Toronto Raptors were back at it on Tuesday.
Going through a defensive-minded practice, many guys hung around long after practice ended to get in extra work. Specifically Jonas Valanciunas, who is recovering from a fractured metacarpal on the ring finger of his right hand, sustained during a victory over the Orlando Magic on Dec. 21.
Valanciunas worked with assistant coaches and basketball development consultant Jamaal Magloire long after the practice facility had emptied. Defensive close-outs, one-handed free throws and sprints up and down the length of the court, Valanciunas got in a great workout. Bryan Colangelo was in attendance and shouting his encouragement to Valanciunas as he pushed through the last few sprints.
Dwane Casey was asked about the rehab process for both Valanciunas and Andrea Bargnani. He didn't have any sort of timetable for either player, but did provide some information as to what Bargnani has been doing during his time rehabbing torn ligaments in his right elbow.
"All he can do now is cardio," Casey said. "He can't really do any physical lifting with his arm."
Casey stressed that the team is working to keep Bargnani involved each day during practice and that they talk about the team often.
"He's here every day at practice," Casey continued. "[He's] watching, paying attention. I talked to him just a few minutes ago. What does he see, trying to keep him engaged with the team. He's with us."
Casey couldn't speak to when Valanciunas would be back, but said that he's been working hard every day at practice. From the look of a sweat-drenched Valanciunas as he walked off of the court to catch his breath before returning to shoot more one-handed free throws, Casey wasn't kidding.
After leaving the Raptors' loss against the Thunder on Sunday afternoon with an ankle sprain, rookie Terrence Ross did not practice on Tuesday. While Casey didn't know if he would be available for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers, the injury was not as serious as it appeared on Sunday afternoon when Ross left the arena in a walking boot.
"He's still a little sore so we erred on the side of precaution," Casey said. "We'll see how he is tomorrow. He's much, much better than he was yesterday, so we'll see. I don't know, I'm not going to predict if he's going to go. He is a lot better and he is moving a lot better."
Aaron Gray missed Sunday's contest because of the flu. He was back on Tuesday, winded, but working to shake off the rust and get back. Casey joked that Gray had been on "that weight-loss flu diet," but said it was good to see him go as long as he could during practice.
The player who has benefited most from Bargnani being out of the lineup is Ed Davis. The third-year big man has finally gotten the chance to play starter's minutes and he's producing. With that increased role, though, comes increased responsibility.
Casey isn't about to allow Davis to slide. After being unhappy with Davis' aggressiveness against the Thunder, the coach met with Davis on Monday to discuss what the team needs from him when he's in the starting lineup.
"I met with Ed yesterday," Casey said. "I challenged him. I didn't think he brought it against Oklahoma City. He brought it more, competed harder, banged harder, got to the boards harder, a lot of things, screens, taking some of the shots he had [in other games]. He was the difference in the Portland game. He was the reason why Portland had to take off their blitzes on Jose and Kyle because he was knocking down shots.
"Those same shots he had against Oklahoma City, he was turning them down," Casey continued. "I could understand if he had missed two or three, but he was turning them down before he had even attempted any. He's got to be aggressive, stay focused, stay in the desperate mode, the hungry mode that he started his starting situation with and not lose that edge."
Davis himself acknowledged that Casey said the team will need him to be aggressive, especially on the offensive end of the floor.
"I'm feeling good," Davis said. "I put a lot of work in over the off-season to prepare my body for an opportunity like this. I'm feeling good and I'm ready for tomorrow."
Casey would be pleased to hear Davis say that the team's focus is squarely on the 76ers, who will be in Toronto on Wednesday. After that game — and not until — they will allow themselves to focus on the Bobcats who will be in town on Friday.
"We have to do that," Davis explained. "I don't think we're good enough that we can just look past any team."
Through this six-game homestand, Davis has been appreciative of the fan support the team has received.
"We have a great fan base," he said. "All of our games we have great crowds, no matter who it is, whether it is Sacramento or the Thunder. That's always encouraging for us because we don't have the best record and our fans are still supporting us."

text: Holly Spangler Archives Email Author Follow @Holly Spangler 30 Days on a Prairie Farm: Biotechnology My Generation Day 2: Why we plant genetically modified seeds on our farm. Part 1. Published on: November 2, 2012 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Blog RSS Permalink Print Fear. Misinformation. Marketing. Fear. Health. Children. Fear. Fear. All this and more is playing into the discussion involving GMOs these days. And here on the farm, it feels like old news. Fifteen-plus years ago, we evaluated the technology, learned we could plant it and use fewer and less-potent pesticides, have fewer weeds and less required labor. It was a business decision. We got on board. We've gone on to plant Bt corn (using products from DuPont, Syngenta and Monsanto), LibertyLink corn (a Bayer product), RoundupReady corn and beans (using Monsanto and Syngenta products), rootworm-resistant corn (both Monsanto and DuPont products). But off the farm, in parts further west, let's say, people are downright angry. California's Proposition 37 is being sold as people's "right to know" what's in their food. And if you'd like a logical look at both sides of the argument, check out this point-counterpoint blog. On its face, I would agree with the right to know. Yet common sense might suggest that given 95% of the U.S. corn crop is planted to biotech seed, you can safely assume any food not labeled organic or GM-free has a product in it that's derived from biotech seed. And further, consider the extensive exemptions being offered even under the "Right to Know" Proposition 37. Even with Prop 37, I'm not sure California consumers will know as much as they want to. But I digress. I think much of the problem here is that people just don't understand each other. We sit here in the Midwest and think how those poor consumers just don't know what we do and if they only understood how nice we all are and how much we love our farms and our families, they'd leave us alone and let us carry on with our business. And from what I hear, they sit in their cities and on their coasts and think we farmers are a bunch of poor, overall-wearing saps who are beholden to Monsanto and the rest of Big Agribusiness. So, here's what I think we need to understand in farm country: * Consumers are concerned about the long-term health effects of biotechnology. They're looking at down-the-road diseases like cancer, heart disease, obesity, the "unknown." * Saying we produce the safest, most abundant food supply in the world doesn't resonate with consumers. When you say safe, they hear short-term safety (which they expect anyway) and when you say abundant, they hear too much food (which is making us obese). * They want transparency. This is one of many reasons why I love this blog. He offers up all the details. In PDF form, no less. * We need to be less about "telling our story," and more about answering their questions. What would I like them to know? In the interest of the final point above, I would respond to their questions. And I think immediately of an ongoing conversation I've been having with a California friend-of-a-friend. She could not be nicer and more convinced of her opinions, and I respect that. I really do. But in talking with her, I can see some of her underlying information about how corn is grown is just, well, incorrect. I don't want to quote her directly here without her permission, but to paraphrase, she believes Monsanto has a monopoly on the seed market, that it sends investigators to farms to see if seeds have blown over into another farmer's field, and then they sue those farmers. She also thinks farmers can't afford non-GMO or non-Monsanto seed, or even alfalfa because Monsanto has a monopoly. I have to reiterate, she is not alone in thinking this, which is why I'm sharing it. From what I have seen, these are commonly held assumptions. Perhaps that means there's an organization sharing this kind of misinformation among California consumers. I don't know. But here's what I do know: * Monsanto does not have a monopoly on the seed market. Among the many companies we buy seed from is Golden Harvest, which is owned by Syngenta. Syngenta is one of five companies who have patented genetically modified seed traits. Monsanto is not the only one. They do have a lot of market share, but there are still other options. We plant a wide variety of seed on our farm, including from small, family-owned seed companies. * Seeds don't blow from one farm to another. Seeds are planted in the ground, where they sprout and grow into plants. Corn plants produce a tassel that's laden with pollen. The pollen falls from the tassel and lands on the silks that sprout from the top of each ear of corn. Each silk goes to a single kernel on the ear. Now pollen? Pollen can blow from one field to another. Generally, farmers try to work together and if their neighbor is planting non-GM, they try to plant in a way that reduces pollen drift. * About 15 cases have worked their way through the court system, regarding Monsanto suing farmers. Really, I've never heard of a farmer being sued because pollen drifted into their field and Monsanto wants them to pay for it. It's actually more the other way around. You can read here or here about a Canadian farmer and his odyssey through the Canadian court system with Monsanto. In short, he knew (or ought to have known) he had saved and planted Roundup Ready seed back in 2001, violating the agreement he had signed. He appealed in 2002 and all 17 grounds were dismissed by a three-member court. He appealed to the Canadian Supreme Court in 2004 and lost again. * Non-GM seed costs less than GM seed. In the farm world, we talk about traited and non-traited varieties, and when you're talking traits (like rootworm or roundup or corn borer resistence), you're talking more money. This makes sense. If there is extra technology in that seed which allows us to, say, use less weed control products, or helps the plant grow better in a drought, or lets us use less insect control products, we should pay for it. Again, it's good business sense. It's an added value, and that value adds to the cost. * Monsanto has a very small share of the alfalfa seed market. I don't know what else to say about that. It just does. I don't know that this will sway someone who is a die-hard supporter of Prop 37, or who considers GM foods to be poisoned. Maybe they can make a more well-informed decision, even if they vote for Prop 37. I don't know that this will make a difference. But I have to believe it helps, if only to make a better informed decision. **A note: I had the crazy idea that I could cover biotechnology in one post. Silliness.

Norfolk >Food & Dining > Domo Japanese Restaurant
273 Granby St, Norfolk, VA | Directions 2351036.849519 -76.290725
Mon. - Sun. 11:30am - 10pm
Neighborhoods: DNC
Loyal to this place – I only go to this place for sushi. The food is amazing, the service is great, the food is presented in such a good way. Large and extensive menu with tons of special rolls. I have been going here for years and like I said this is the only sushi place I will eat at. If you are in Norfolk and want great sushi, do yourself a favor and stop by.
Anways a winner – Good food, fast service, attentive staff, great choices and great value for the money. Sushi is always great and a broad selection. Cooked meals offer a wide selection for those who are turned off by raw fish.
Excellent Sushi! – This is a more expensive sushi restaurant but well worth the price. They had my favorite - Uni. Not many have the Sea Urchin available. The staff is very friendly. These two things will keep me coming back!
Good sushi, good prices, great downtown location – Great location on the corner downtown! Good sushi and very reasonable prices. The spicy tuna and spicy salmon rolls are delicious. I usually stop here once a week after working out at The Gym Downtown....service is always fast and friendly. I like to sit up a the Sushi Bar and watch the chefs at work (who also happen to be very nice).
DOMO is the way to go! – Pay no attention to natalieg78, her service may have been bad, but i can assure you that her case is quite rare. I've worked across the street from DOMO for the past 3 years and I've tried at least 20-25 sushi places in the surrounding 100 miles... DOMO in Norfolk and VOLCANO in Virginia Beach are atop my favorites list. I eat @ DOMO at least twice a week and I can vouch for their amazing food, quality presentation, superb chefs and friendly service. Their twist on the traditional Spicy Tuna Roll is unique and delicious, I'd recommend ordering that to anyone who is a first time sushi eater or a long time sushi lover. Go grab some sushi @ DOMO then go see a show @ Virginia Stage Company! Best bet for taking someone on a date.
Horrible Service! – I went there for lunch today with my husband. I'd like to comment on the food, but after waiting 40 minutes, I still didn't have any! Customers that came in after us were almost done eating by the time we left. No salads, nothing. We had no special orders/instructs, but still no food. The server kept saying "almost ready". When I went to pay for the drinks and they offered to wrap it up when it was done. No Thanks!
Great Sushi place in Norfolk – We've eaten sushi all over and thus we consider ourselves good judges of sushi: this place rates right up there. We started with gyoza soup, which we hadn't seen before. It was hot and flavorful, and the gyoza (japanese dumplings for those who don't know) was really nice. We followed that with kani su, vinegar dressed crabstick and avacado cucumber wraps, roll style (look for it under the salad/appetizer section of the menu). Delicious! We ordered two rolls--volcano and new york, both of which were served quickly and were quite good. We concluded that the specialty of the house were the rolls, not only for the wide selection but for the quality and flavor. We had a few pieces of sushi which were very delicious too. Everything was very good, the service was prompt and attentive, and the prices were very reasonable. Try it! It won't be a miss!
Quality sushi - Superb service! – Me and my wife love this place. We are treated as if we're the only customers! Salmon and yellow tail is always fresh. Try their seared Tuna appetizer. Volcano roll was a good choice.
Sushi fan: this place is SUPERB – I'm rather fussy about my sushi, both the quality of the fish and the service, and I'm accustomed to the restaurant quality of large cities like Chicago and New York. This place was just outstanding in every regard. The appetizers were savory and crisp, the fish was very fresh, and the special maki were superb: worth every nickel. And on top of all this, the service was the most attentive I can remember at any restaurant in recent memory. We were passing through Norfolk for a special trip, and although we didn't mention this to the staff, they treated us as though we were the only people in the place. And the price was very reasonable for the quantity and quality of our meal. I wish I could come back to this place every week.

greinke will perform well, i dont think he will have any issues with that contract, i dont get the hae on him , he is an ace, he has one of the best repertoire we have seen
That is a boatload of cash for a guy who is IMO borderline top-10...
Glad it wasn't us
Thats a espensive for your number 2 starter. Not sure what the Dodgers were thinking here Kershew going want like 30 million if 24 million they spend on a number 2 starter.
The more I think about it, the more I kind of want Dickerson to get a shot at being the every day right fielder in 2013. Kid is pretty built and has a nice swing. Could be our version of Josh Reddick.

normally id want the draft pick but I just dont like damon oppenheimers approach to the draft so i rather stick with swisher
dickerson is closer to reed johnson than he is josh reddick and even that's a stretch
They should trade Grandy to Rangers for Olt and then sign Hamilton. 3B of the future.

Police are hunting for the gunmen who shot a man for his cell phone overnight in the city's Lawncrest section.
It's a robbery we're seeing more and more of lately, as cell phones seem to be making people targets of violence.
The latest shooting happened just after 1:30 a.m. on the 5900 block of tabor avenue.
Police say the 24-year-old victim was smoking a cigarette on his steps when two men walked up to him.
"According to our victim, the motive for the shooting was a robbery," Chief Inspector Scott Small said. "The only possession he had on him was a cell phone. After giving up the cell phone, according to the victim, that is when -- even though he gave up the cell phone, said he had no money -- that's when one of the two perpetrators fired several shots."
Police said the man was shot five times. He's listed in stable condition at a local hospital.
The gunmen fled the scene on foot.
FOX 29's Steve Keeley reported Tuesday morning from outside police headquarters that this growing crime motive has law enforcement leaders around the country demanding changes from the phone makers.
Last week, a summit was held to urge the biggest companies, like Apple and Samsung, to put "kill switches" in their phones to render them useless, and so worthless, if they're ever stolen.
Police say stealing phones is almost as easy as stealing cash these days because there's easy access to big black-market distribution network out there.
Where can you get these phones? They're being sold on some of the toughest street corners. In fact, in North Philly there's one area where you can probably get a used or stolen cell phone "the new Apple Store," Keeley reported.
Police in Camden County are asking drivers to be alert after two carjackings since this weekend along one city street.

"I always think I essentially make comedies," Alexander Payne told a large crowd Sunday night at the Holland Performing Arts Center. "Even with 'The Descendants,' I tried to do that with a light touch."
Whatever he thinks he's doing, it's working for a lot of people.
Director Payne, an Oscar-winning writer whose sixth movie, "Nebraska," just opened, brought three cast members — Bruce Dern, Will Forte and, surprise, June Squibb came, too — to Omaha to talk about the film before a local audience. The event raised a record $300,000-plus for Film Streams, the downtown nonprofit art-house movie theater.
NPR host and author Kurt Andersen, who grew up in Omaha, as Payne did, interviewed the four about shooting the movie a year ago, mostly in northeast Nebraska, and their careers. The night quickly turned into a mutual admiration society for Payne.
Andersen said Payne's movies, including "Nebraska," mix comedy and pathos in a way no other moviemaker is doing now, comparing his approach to a classical tradition. The only regret, he said, is that Payne, 52, has made only six movies.
"What slows me down is the screenplay," Payne said. "I've written for myself out of desperation. The great writing now is in television. Most movies are more like cartoons, but we're in a golden age of television right now."
Payne explained that Bob Nelson wrote the screenplay for "Nebraska." Though Nelson is not from here, his parents grew up in Hartington and Wausa, Neb., he said.
The black-and-white movie is a father-son road picture in which Forte's character gets to know his irascible dad, Woody Grant (Dern), as they travel from Billings, Mont., to Lincoln. Squibb plays Woody's angry wife. Woody thinks he's won a publisher's sweepstakes prize.
Forte said that although he has spent his life in California (growing up and screenwriting for television) and New York ("Saturday Night Live," "30 Rock"), he felt right at home shooting in the Norfolk area for two months. He called working with Payne an amazing experience.
Dern, who has worked with great directors including Elia Kazan, Hal Ashby, Alfred Hitchcock and Sydney Pollock, went further.
"Payne's probably the best director I've ever worked with," he said to loud applause.
The two main reasons, he said, are Payne's warm approachability on the set and the way he works with actors.
"He's right there with you," Dern said. "He knows what (the scene) should be. If you're not real and he doesn't believe it's honest, you do it again until he believes. I trust his belief more than any director I've ever worked with."
Squibb said she loves watching "Nebraska" and finds new things to admire in her fellow actors' performances each time.
"The script, Alexander directing — you don't get that very often," she said with a broad smile.
As each new person appeared on the stage, the others moved down the sofa just as guests do on "The Tonight Show." The tone of Andersen's conversation with his guests felt similar to a talk show.
Some other shared pearls:
Dern said he grew up affluent on Lake Michigan's North Shore in a family very different from the one in "Nebraska," but every bit as dysfunctional. "I never saw my father laugh. And I never saw him cry," he said.
His grandfather grew up in Hooper, Neb., he said, and he found that in this part of the country "it started to get very black and white. There is a sense of fairness, a sense of pride, a sense of honesty you don't find along the corridors of Lake Michigan or back east."
Forte talked about how a movie he starred in, "MacGruber," was a box office bomb. When Andersen asked why he thought Payne hired him, he got a big laugh:
"The term 'loser' comes up again. I think, in a way, not to demean myself, there's something to that. There was a connection I felt to the character. ... It was closer to life than anything I've ever done."
What did he learn about Nebraska while working here? "You don't have a lot of late-night food options," he cracked.
Dern said it irritates him when he hears people say Squibb stole scenes from him in "Nebraska."
"You gotta get up pretty early in the morning to steal a scene from me. Number 2, she was hired to do what she does. ... She's just being the character. Without her, the movie would not be what it is."
Squibb said she always believed her character loved her husband, despite being his harshest critic.
"I knew this woman, why she was doing what she was doing. When I saw the film, I thought 'My God, that's my mother.' She had two sisters that were crazy, too. It's sort of in my genes."
Payne said he gave up $3�million from the movie's budget, dropping it to about $13.5�million, because he insisted on shooting it in black-and-white. Black-and-white felt right for the movie's austere aesthetic, he said.
Payne was asked what worries him most about his future career.
"Physical decay," he said. "Filmmaking takes a lot of energy. I feel like I'm just getting started, just sharpening my pencils."
Someday, he said, the movies he's made might be seen as minor works. "I'd like to think I've got some good stuff coming up ahead."

Thompson wants Rangers on board
Dundee United chairman Stephen Thompson hopes the Scottish game can move forward with Rangers on board once their heavily boycotted William Hill Scottish Cup clash is over.
Only about 300 tickets have been sold for the away section at Tannadice after Rangers refused their allocation amid planned boycotts from supporters' groups.
Many fans have been unhappy with Thompson since United charged for a rearranged game after a match against Rangers was abandoned at Tannadice in 2009.
But much of the anger appears to stem from their perceptions of Thompson's attitude to dealing with the fallout of the financial collapse of the oldco Rangers in the summer, although United were one of 10 clubs to vote against the newco Rangers' application to join the Scottish Premier League.
On Thursday, Rangers manager Ally McCoist addressed fellow Scottish Football League clubs amid the Ibrox side's opposition to current plans to reform the Scottish leagues.
And Thompson hopes the fifth-round tie can be a watershed moment.
``Personally for the sake of Scottish football, I think we should move on,'' he told BBC Scotland.
``It's a game of football after all. That's what I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
``Hopefully it's a good and entertaining game. Hopefully my team will win of course.
``But we are in the middle of reconstruction talks and the game is moving forward.
``We have got all SPL clubs actually together to move forward for the future and I think we all need to get together, every single club in Scotland, and it would be good for them (Rangers) to come on board as well.''
United had sold a confirmed 9,900 tickets by 5pm with none on sale on Saturday, although they believe the attendance will break the five-figure barrier when all orders are processed.
However, Thompson remains disappointed that the Irn-Bru Third Division club did not take up their ticket allocation.
``I'm disappointed because it's a big game for both clubs and would have been a full house,'' he said.
``It's still going to be a good crowd here.
``It would have been a great advert for Scottish football, which I still think it will be. But they have made their decision, they are entitled to do that and I wouldn't like to enter into that kind of discussion.''
The match sees former Celtic captain Jackie McNamara, who has a full squad to choose from, take charge of United for the first time after he replaced Peter Houston during the week.
United have not won at Tannadice since August and captain Jon Daly hopes the change can put that statistic to bed.
Daly told Arabzone: ``Everyone is excited to work with the new manager and looking forward to seeing what his plans are and get going.
``Our away form has been quite good this year and if we had decent home form we would be right up there.
``That's obviously been the problem this year and hopefully the new gaffer can address that and get us performing at home and winning games.''
Meanwhile, McCoist has moved to play down the hype surrounding the clash by insisting now is the time to ``take the sting out of the situation``.
McCoist, who hopes the situation is a one-off, said: ``There has been a lot of stuff written and a lot of stuff said.
``I think now is the time to actually take the sting out of the whole situation to be honest.
``Jackie is a great lad. I wished him all the best in his job and we'll shake hands before the game.
``All it is, is a cup tie that both teams want to win.
``It's going to be a little bit different because the club have taken the stance not to take any tickets for the game.
``That stance has been made and hopefully it's just a one-off and we can move on.
``People are probably reading a lot more into it and wanting to build a lot more out of it than they should.
``It's a cup game that's important to both clubs and both clubs want to win. It's no more than that.
``I do appreciate there will be an edge to the game but we all have a duty and a responsibility to do our best for our clubs and, indeed, behave ourselves.
``That will hopefully be the case.''
Rangers striker Francisco Sandaza is rated doubtful.
The Spaniard is struggling with a hamstring problem, while skipper Lee McCulloch has failed to recover from an ankle injury in time.
Lewis Macleod also misses the clash at Tannadice after being ruled out for seven weeks with knee ligament damage sustained against Montrose last weekend.

A romantic heroin, shrouded in mystery, tries to seduce her reticent and often surly husband. Her secret weapon? Figure-hugging dresses of lace and pastel colors, "innocent" lingerie that reveals rather too much than it should and stiletto heels: a true femme fatale.
All around chaos unfolds: family crises, accusations, lies and unexpected revelations. Yet she holds back, slyly, takes her time and moves with grace in her classic 1950s dresses, delivering on every style rule, even when everything (credibility but never elegance) seems lost.
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof was written by Tennessee Williams in 1954 and made into a movie featuring Liz Taylor and Paul Newman in 1958. As relevant as ever, the play will be performed by the Richard Rodgers Theatre on Broadway in the coming days. In the role of Maggie, the enchanting Scarlett Johansson, who, with her contemporary pin-up charm and allure, is certain to live up to the late Taylor.
And if Scarlett's interpretation still needs to be evaluated, there are few doubts on the look she'll be donning at the hands of costume designer Julie Weiss: a style that represents the quintessence of femininity, studied to harmonically enhance the strategic points of the female form (chest, waist and hips). A style that in the 1950s, relaunched the 18th-century mythical wasp waist, creating a silhouette that sent men into rapture and catapulted not a small number of beautiful women to stardom. The look will feature a gentle sensuality in which each little detail is of utmost importance and every excess is absolutely forbidden.

|Dancer Nick Kepley. Photographer Steve Wilson.
ZuZu Lounge
Choreography: Margo Sappington
Music: Esquivel
This ballet is an exploration of the "space-age" aspects of music by Juan Garcia Esquivel rather than the "retro" aspects. ZuZu Lounge explores the hybrid of popular and modern dance techniques with classical ballet. Ms. Sappington said, "Expect a ballet full of surprises," as she experiments with movement to expand this classical genre.
Music by the late Juan Garcia Esquivel is highly complex, and his cd's might be found in the "lounge" section instead of an easy listening category. Known as the Mexican Duke Ellington, Esquivel innovated what he called "sonorama" and reorganized the orchestra so that even from one recording microphone, the sound would bounce from one side of the studio to another. He grew up in Mexico City where he began composing and arranging music for XEW Radio. He became well-known for his ability to contort any arrangement into a dance number for his Hispanic fans. Esquivel made use of real sounds in his music such as traffic noise, chirping birds and the sounds of high heel "sling-backs" on the pavement, as well as singers reciting his trademark, wordless "zu-zu's."
World Premiere: February 21, 2002, Kansas City Ballet, Lyric Theatre, Kansas City, Missouri

Pork & Ramen Stir-Fry Recipe
5 4
I put a bit of a spin on a typical stir-fry that you'd normally serve over rice. Ramen noodles are quick to sub in for the rice and I find bagged coleslaw mix gives the dish a good crisp-tender bite along with some fresh broccoli. —Barbara Pletzke, Herndon, Virginia
- 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 3 teaspoons canola oil, divided
- 1 pound boneless pork loin chops, cut into 1/2-inch strips
- 1 cup fresh broccoli florets
- 4 cups coleslaw mix
- 1 can (8 ounces) bamboo shoots, drained
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 packages (3 ounces each) ramen noodles
- In a small bowl, whisk the first five ingredients until blended. In a large skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat. Add pork; stir-fry 2-3 minutes or until no longer pink. Remove from pan.
- In same pan, stir-fry broccoli in remaining oil 3 minutes. Add coleslaw mix, bamboo shoots and garlic; stir-fry 3-4 minutes longer or until broccoli is crisp-tender. Stir in soy sauce mixture and pork; heat through.
- Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions, discarding or saving seasoning packets for another use. Drain noodles; add to pork mixture and toss to combine. Yield: 4 servings.

We also didn't use the bamboo hoots and put in mushrooms because my family loves them. No leftovers! Definitely a keeper here! Will just reduce the red peppers a little for my taste.

Made it without changes and it was wonderful. Definitely not sweet. We loved it!

I couldn't click on the stars for some reason but I give it 5 stars. My family doesn't like bamboo shoots so I added mushrooms instead. We didn't think it was too sweet. Everyone liked it, even the kiddos.

Scratch n Scroll
Product Details
How many times in your working day do you scrabble around for a pen, but can't find one? Before you've had a chance to write it down, your idea for streamlining the optimisation of your workload going forward vis-à-vis multi-corporate buyouts (or something) is gone forever, forgotten and irretrievable. The brainy people behind the Scratch-n-Scroll have come up with an ingenious solution - write it on your mouse mat!
Even better, you can even write on it with just your finger. If you're determined to take advantage of opposable thumbs, though, you can always use the included stylus. Once you've scribbled down the synopsis of your next Pulitzer-winning piece, you can then simply erase what you've written by flipping up the opaque sheet that covers the pad. Conveniently, it'll work fine with any optical or ball mouse that you might push across it.
So don't let your ideas go to waste just because you dropped your pen in a cup of tea - scribble them on the Scratch-n-Roll.
- A mouse mat you can make notes on.
- Write on it using your finger or the included stylus, or basically whatever you can find.
- After you've written it down, erase it by lifting up the semi-transparent paper cover.
- Suitable for use with optical/ball mice. Or is it mouses?
- Non-slip base to prevent it from, well… slipping.

Scratch N Scroll
I'm not very impressed with this Scratch n Scroll. It was bought for my son but I decided not to give it to him as it was of poor quality. When using it you had to write very hard and even then the cover didn't stay down, so the writing just disappeared. Useless for writting down telephone numbers or names.
Wonder Mat!
This product is absolutely perfect for my job, as what I do involves sitting at a computer, taking calls, and writing down notes. Usually, my desk is a complete mess, cluttered with scrunched up balls of paper where I had made a mistake, but now, it's so easy to erase what I've written. Without having to get out paper and a pen, I can easily write down important notes, and then erase them afterwards. Not only that, but it also works as a great computer mouse. I recommend this to anyone who wants an easier and more efficient way to take notes. Well done iwoot!

HARRISONBURG, Va. - James Madison redshirt junior linebacker
Stephon Robertson (Alexandria, Va./Edison) has been named the Colonial Athletic Association Defensive
Player of the Year, the league announced today. The annual league awards,
including the All-CAA squads, are voted on by the 11 CAA head coaches. Robertson was selected for the award over several top candidates, including reigning Buck Buchanan Award winner Matt Evans of New Hampshire.
A starter in all 11 games this year and 34 played in his career, Robertson was a force for Madison's defense, which ranked second in the CAA and 24th in FCS football in scoring, first in the league and 19th nationally in rushing defense and fifth in the CAA in pass defense. Robertson finished with a team-high 101 tackles, including 48 solos, 8.5 tackles for loss, 1.0 sacks, one interception, one forced fumble and five pass breakups, earning him First Team All-CAA honors for the second straight year after being named CAA Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2010. One of 20 players on the Buck Buchanan Watch List for the nation's top defensive player, he was third in the league and tied for 43rd in the nation with 9.18 tackles per game. He led JMU in tackles in seven of the 11 games played this year and recorded double-digit tackles in six games, five of them CAA contests.
In his career, Robertson has started in 34 of a possible 35 games. He has amassed 304 career tackles, an average over his career of 8.94 tackles per game, despite being targeted as a threat by every opposing offense.
