Great work, Nei!
your work is so gorgeous
That is one angry looking pony... Great rest of the picture too, but I felt that that really deserved a shout-out.

MSI Radeon HD 7970 Lightning review -
Product Showcase
Product Showcase
Alright, let's get the review started. Below you can see the MSI Radeon HD 7970 Lightning, this is a 3GB model. We expect the product to retail for roughly 550 EUR/USD, we hope price will drop a bit in the next few weeks.
Above the Lightning bundle. You will receive the card, Molex to 8-pin PEG power converters, Crossfire bridge and a DP to HDMI converter next to the manual and drivers. Also included are small connectors which you can use to monitor voltage with a digital multi-meter.
Overall a nice and dark/grey/yellow themed card is what you may expect from the lightning. The 4.3 Billion transistor encounting 28nm Tahiti XT based core is tied to a nice 3GB memory. You can also see the heatpipes of the cooler a little better, five (!) nice tick 8mm pipes run from the core towards aluminum fins on top, where two fans will blow the heat away.
The reference cards are clocked at an 925 MHz core frequency and the GDDR5 memory runs at 5.5 Gbps (effective data rate as GDDR5 has a quad data-rate, so effectively that quadruples it number). This MSI model however is factory clocked at 1070 MHz (!) MSI left the memory clock at 5500 MHz, however you should not have a problem tweaking it towards a good 6000 MHz.
Here we can see the backside, the card will fit pretty much any chassis as it is 27 cm in length. The backside comes with a nice backplate, it mounted upwards a little leaving spice for airflow to move over the components
Obviously very visible is the blue round GPU reactor. The GPU reactor functions as a power supply module which, when installed on the back of the GPU. It increases current volume by 88%, reduces power supply noise by 13%, and should improve overall overclocking stability. It actually is an add-on board which you may remove. Let's do just that.
We review the AMD Radeon R7-370 series in the form of the MSI Radeon R7 370 GAMING 2G Review. That means 1080P gaming will become in reach at an affordable 149 Euro/ USD price level. We test the MSI...

Hi Ricard,
I noticed something strange on a site I am developing.
I had been adding random thumbs up and down and then at one point I deleted all the metadata to "start over".
The strangest thing is though that although the thumb counts are all back to zero, I still get the message that "you already voted" on these posts/pages.
What can I do to completely "reset" the plugin?

801 Waller Street
Portsmouth, Ohio 45662
We've seen the transformation hundreds of times – people who came to us full of doubt and uncertainty become secure in the knowledge of their rightful place in God's great kingdom. The change may start slowly – in a Bible Study class or choir participation, perhaps – but once it begins, it picks up speed. The good works, shared experiences, time spent in prayer – all bring us closer to our highest calling.
Our Sunday Worship Service begins at 9:30 AM followed by a coffee hour in the parlor. Hearing devices are available for everyone who needs help in hearing the service. Ask our Greeters to show you where they are located.
A Nursery is provided as well as a room where parents may watch children and listen to the Morning Worship Service. Please ask a Greeter or Deacon for assistance. This is for your convenience, but don't feel that young children are not welcome in our Sanctuary. Those young voices are the future!
Christian Education classes begin after our Worship Service concludes.
Please take a moment to tour our website and learn more about our church.

It is day two of a search of the Muskingum river for a Coshocton man who has been missing since the boat he was riding in capsized.
In only two weeks time, southeastern Ohio has seen more than 7 inches of rain and has caused significant flooding of local rivers and streams. Harsh flood conditions are extremely dangerous and are to blame for the flipping of a boat into the Muskingum River in Coshocton with three individuals on board. 53 year old Mark Walters is still missing.

Bayou Farewell: The Rich Life and Tragic Death of Louisiana's Cajun Coast (Paperback)
The Cajun coast of Louisiana is home to a way of life as unique, complex, and beautiful as the terrain itself. As award-winning travel writer Mike Tidwell journeys through the bayou, he introduces us to the food and the language, the shrimp fisherman, the Houma Indians, and the rich cultural history that makes it unlike any other place in the world. But seeing the skeletons of oak trees killed by the salinity of the groundwater, and whole cemeteries sinking into swampland and out of sight, Tidwell also explains why each introduction may be a farewell as the storied Louisiana coast steadily erodes into the Gulf of Mexico.
Part travelogue, part environmental expose, "Bayou Farewell" is the richly evocative chronicle of the author's travels through a world that is vanishing before our eyes.
About the Author
Mike Tidwell predicted in vivid detail the Katrina hurricane disaster in his 2003 book, "Bayou Farewell: The Rich Life and Tragic Death of Louisiana's Cajun Coast". He has written five books centered on the themes of travel and nature. These include "Amazon Stranger" (detailing efforts to save the Ecuadorian rain forest) and "In the Mountains of Heaven" (travels to exotic lands across the globe). Tidwell has won four Lowell Thomas awards, the highest prize in American travel journalism, and is a former grantee of the National Endowment for the Arts. His articles have appeared in many national publications. Tidwell is also founder and director of the U.S. Climate Emergency Council, based in Takoma Park, Maryland. A native of Georgia, he now lives in Maryland with his nine-year-old son, Sasha.
Praise For…
"The best book on Louisiana I have ever read... Stunning, beautifully written." –James Lee Burke, author of White Doves at Morning
"A remarkable book…. Tidwell knows how to tell a good story, and he tells this one smartly."–The Times-Picayune
"Tidwell... tells [the story] with great passion for the land and for the Cajun, Houma Indian, and Vietnamese people who live and work on these waters. [He writes] about the people with great affection."- Rocky Mountain News
"Shocking…. The calamity that lies ahead is…underscored by Tidwell's bittersweet rendering of…a way of life that is slowly dying."–San Francisco Chronicle
"A tale both enlivening and sad... What makes Bayou Farewell so appealing is that Tidwell allows us to experience life on the bayou—and thus better appreciate what is being lost—through the lives of its chief residents, the Cajuns."- The News & Observer

To be clear, I'm not really looking for semiclassical approximations for time-independent Hamiltonian systems. Are there any modern reference-level texts/monographs or review articles that develop the mathematical theory and its applications for said models?

Server Admin Stuff
Most Internet applications share a lot of common, generic tasks such as
About the author
Server Admin Stuff
Step-by-step guide to installing Apache, MySQL, PHP, and phpMyAdmin on your Windows XP Pro or Home computer.
PHP (server-side)
AJAX Cross-Domain Solution: proxy.php
Need to use AJAX (XmlHttpRequest) to make client-side requests to content on domains other than your own? Browser security prevents you from doing this, but there are a lot of legitimate reasons to do it. My proxy.php to the rescue! proxy.php is built on top of my popular class_http You simply pass a url to proxy.php, and it will go get the content then forward the headers and body to your client. The script supports posting a form--your form will be re-posted to the content page you requested.
Robust Server to Server Communication Class and Screen-Scraping with Caching: class_http.php
This is a PHP screen-scraping class with caching. It includes methods to access content protected by basic authentication and for caching images directly. It even cloaks itself as the User Agent of the user requesting your script. This may allow you to retreive content from sites that actively ban screen-scraping. Included are methods to extract data from HTML tables into arrays.
Turn Any XML Document Into an Easily Accessible PHP Array: class_xml.php
Pass in any standard XML, and an easily enumerated data object you can use in your PHP scripts is created.
PHP Session Replacement with Login Authentication and Caching: class_session.php
This is a PHP class that makes is very easy to maintain state between pages giving you control over the timeout. You are no longer limited by PHP's built-in session expiration. The class also makes it very easy to password-protect PHP pages.
Common Interface to Multiple Database Types with Caching: class_db.php
This is a PHP class that makes is very easy to work with a database. Actually, PHP already makes that easy. What this class offers is a common interface to multiple database types. It currently supports MySql, Postgres, and MSSQL, and adding additional database types is trivial. The other HUGE thing this class gives you is caching. With class_db, it's very simple to store datasets to a local cache file to preserve precious database resources. The class makes this process almost seamless to your code. Caching is perfect for applications that make a lot of queries for data that doesn't change often or where you just don't need fresh data more than say once an hour or maybe daily.
Easily Consume RSS Feeds: RSS Example
class_http.php can be combined with class_xml.php to create powerful RSS consumption tools. Here is an example function.
Use PHP to access Exchange Data: Microsoft Exchange WebDAV Examples
Use PHP to query your Exchange data using PHP. These examples incorporate class_http.php and class_xml.php.
Dynamically Generate VCards: class_vcard.php
This is a PHP class to generate version 3.0 vCards. Give your visitors a simple one-click link to import your contact information into their contact database.
ServerBeach DNS Tool API: class_sbdns.php
class_sbdns is a PHP class that provides an API that automates 100% of the ServerBeach DNS Tool functionality. It is for ServerBeach customers only. If you are looking for an excellent server hosting company with even better prices, look no further than ServerBeach.
If you want to know how to automate a browser session including authentication, SSL, cookies, and posting forms, the source for this class is your friend. class_sbdns uses my popular class_http for the server to server communications.
HTML/CSS/Javascript (client-side)
SiteShow - a website slideshow utility
I built this self-contained HTML/CSS/Javascript slideshow utility in response to the need to develop a presentation for a company's 50" Plasma TV mounted in their lobby. The company alread had some great content on their Intranet website and had also developed some pages specifically for the display. They wanted the web pages to automatically cycle as if someone was navigating the pages. They also wanted the ability to interact with any page or "slide" as a normal web page. That is, they wanted to be able to interrup the show on any page and use the page's links and menu navigation, etc. The result was SiteShow.

All students can be successful, and all students deserve a great education. This includes the option for full-day kindergarten. A strong start in school gives students the advantage they need to achieve success in the classroom and thereafter.
A healthy school district needs healthy finances, and that means responsible, long-range planning and collaboration with parents, community leaders, and teachers. Tough decisions will require open and transparent communication between all stakeholders.
Respecting diverse ideas and beliefs strengthens our system. We all must come together and put the interests of students first. If we do this, Jeffco will continue to be an excellent district that fosters a love of learning and prepares our students for life after graduation.
Strong communities, strong leaders, and strong teachers are the bedrock of a successful education. That's why transparency is so important--all stakeholders must have a place in the discussion as we decide what is best for our students.
Far too much time is spent preparing for or taking tests, rather than actively engaging our students in learning. If we are assessing our students it should be for the sole purpose of student growth. The data we collect should provide timely feedback to students, families and educators.
Colorado is a choice state, and Jeffco was one of the first districts to embrace choice. But our choices are not always available to all of our students. Economics, learning issues and other circumstances often prevent our most at-risk students from taking advantage of school choice. That's why our neighborhood schools must stay strong.
As a parent of two Jeffco students, I want every child - not just my own - to have the best education possible. I want to be a part of making a difference in every child's future. School Boards make a difference.
Jefferson County is my home. We moved here for the excellent schools. I'm proud of Jeffco's reputation. I want to give back and be a part of continuing Jeffco's excellence.
This is a very important election for Jeffco students. We have an opportunity move our district forward and bring stability to a fractured system. Families, employees, the entire Jeffco community - everyone must trust that our school board will make decisions with the best interest of all students at heart.
We can't play politics with kids. I was a supporter in the first five minutes of meeting Ali. She didn't tell me about herself. She talked about the kids. She talked about how important their opportunities are.
Frank DeAngeles – Retired Principal, Columbine High School
I know what it means to go the extra mile for support and help. Ali is one of those rare individuals. I was a middle school counselor and elementary teacher for over 38 years and can testify for her service and dedication.
Craig Jones, Retired Counselor, Adams 12 Five Star Schools
"Ali Lasell is an impassioned teacher, leader and advocate for public education. Mrs Lasell has been in the educational system for nearly three decades, and has proven to stand above the rest and fight for students at all levels. Mrs. Lasell's efforts are targeted on ensuring that students come first and that policies, standards and decisions are based on what is best for students, not what is easiest. Ali is a highly respected educator who leads by example. Public education needs more individuals like Mrs. Lasell paving the path for today's students.
Robin Gilchrist, 8th Grade Language Arts Teacher, Rocky Top Middle School
"Ali Lasell was the first person I met when we moved to Colorado two years ago – she was like our own welcome wagon to Colorado. Within the first day we had a small block party and a babysitter so we could work on unpacking!! Ali embodies the term good neighbor. We are so blessed to have her right next door, and this community should be proud to have her as a concerned citizen who will fight for our kids' education!"
Jill Giovannetti, Applewood Neighbor
If we know anything about this campaign, it is that we will be outspent. Powerful outside interest groups are pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into Jefferson County. But with the support of friends and neighbors like you, we can fight and win. Please donate today.
Don't want to donate online? You can send us a check here.

Gary Bowyer now permanent Blackburn boss
- From: AFP
- May 25, 2013
BLACKBURN Rovers appointed Gary Bowyer as their new manager on a 12-month rolling contract overnight.
Bowyer had two spells as Blackburn's caretaker boss this season and managed to steer the troubled Championship side away from the relegation zone in the final weeks of the campaign.
That was enough to persuade Venky's, the Indian poultry firm who own Rovers, to give Bowyer the job on a permanent basis.
"It is a huge honour and a proud moment for me,'' said Bowyer. "I have been at the club for nine years, I know the traditions. The foundation of the club was built on hard work and that is what we need to produce.''
The 41-year-old was first placed in charge last December following Henning Berg's sacking and he remained unbeaten during his four-game spell, winning his first three matches against Barnsley, Nottingham Forest and Bristol City before drawing at Wolves.
After Berg's successor Michael Appleton was dismissed just 67 days into his reign, Bowyer took charge for a second time in March and steered the club away from the bottom three as Rovers took 12 points from their final nine league games to finish 17th in the second tier.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (May 17, 2013)--A Humvee carrying six Navy SEALs and two other sailors overturned during a training exercise at Fort Knox, Ky., killing one of the SEALs and injuring the others on board, Lt. David Lloyd, a spokesman for the Naval Special Warfare Group Two in Virginia Beach, Va., said Friday.
Lloyd said the Humvee was part of a convoy on the post when it overturned Wednesday night.
What caused the accident is under investigation.
The Navy says the SEAL who died was Special Warfare Operator Third Class Jonathan H. Kaloust, who was based in Virginia.
He was from Massapequa, N.Y.
Lloyd says the seven survivors were treated for minor injuries and released from a hospital.
The sailors had been conducting tactical training, but Lloyd would not release further details about the exercise because it was considered sensitive.

WordPress version: 3.4
WordPress SEO version: 1.2.2
I did this: On my accountancy practice WordPress site admin console, I go to list of pages/post, select drop-down from SEO menu, then click filter.
I expected the plugin to do this: filter on bad SEO listings
Instead it did this: does nothing except change the URL to .../edit.php?s&post_status=all&post_type=page&action=-1&m=0&seo_filter=bad&paged=1&action2=-1
Please fix when you get time.
Also, quick request: can the SEO score be calculated from the rendered page and not the text in the edit window as it's ignoring all the shortcode text/images?

Chemotherapy is also utilized in the management of patients with inoperable thymic carcinoma. Most regimens used are similar to those used to treat thymoma and include cisplatin.[6,7,8,9,10]
Objective responses and improved outcomes compared to historical data have been reported from small uncontrolled studies. Combinations of doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and vincristine and cisplatin have also shown favorable responses in studies.[6,7,8] Etoposide, ifosfamide, and cisplatin (VIP) was utilized in a prospective North American Intergroup trial.[9] There was a 25% (2 of 8 patients) partial response rate. The 1-year and 2-year survival rates were 75% and 50%, respectively.
Standard treatment options for patients with operable disease include the following:
- En bloc surgical resection.
- Postoperative radiation therapy may be considered whether or not the surgical resection has been complete, and especially for stage III and stage IVA patients.
Standard treatment options for patients with inoperable disease (stage III and stage IV with vena caval obstruction, pleural involvement, pericardial implants, etc.) include the following:
- Radiation therapy.
- Chemotherapy with or without surgery and/or radiation therapy.
- Chemoradiation therapy.
- Chemotherapy.
Treatment options under clinical evaluation:
Areas of active clinical evaluation for patients with thymic carcinoma include the following:
- New drug regimens.
- Variation of drug doses in current regimens.
- New radiation therapy schedules.
Current Clinical Trials
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with thymic carcinoma. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.
General information about clinical trials is also available from the NCI Web site.

Skip to comments.Ex-guardsman gave Bush records to Cleland
Posted on 09/18/2004 10:48:59 PM PDT by ambrose
Ex-guardsman gave Bush records to Cleland
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) A retired Texas National Guard officer mentioned as a source of disputed documents on President Bush's service in the Guard said he passed along information to a former senator working with Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry's campaign.
In an Aug. 21 e-mail to a list of Texas Democrats, Bill Burkett said after getting through "seven layers of bureaucratic kids" in the Kerry campaign, he talked with former Sen. Max Cleland, Georgia Democrat, about information that would counter criticism of Mr. Kerry's Vietnam War service.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...
I suspect that Cleland will end up being a big wheel in the Kerry's demise.
if we loaded all of those bozoids onto a decommissioned Swift Boat, could we call it the "ship of tools"?
(and, then, could we hose it with a Mk19?)
What dates were those memos faxed to CBS and was Cleland in Texas at the time?
I believe its time for the media to take up Mr Rather's challenging tone... to ask KERRY some hard questions.
Hey, hey, hey! Are you questioning his patriotism? He's a WAR HERO, donchaknow. =)
That's a link to the Kerry campaign...wonder if NYT's will do a flow chart? Much simpler one than the GOP=Swift Boats...doubt anyone draws that line in the MSM
Ha! Cleland! How fitting....this guy is slime and just filled with hate. Probably met with the guy when he was in Texas last month protesting at Pres. Bush's ranch. Probably faxed them directly from the Kinko's. Should be easy to identify if he was in that town.
How many holes can you shoot through a tin can before you have no can?
The headline is a bit misleading. The article says that Burkett gave "information" to Cleland. It doesn't say what the information was. The big question remains who actually gave the documents to CBS, and what did the Kerry/DNC people know and when did they know it?
MAX: The bitter butterball.
It would take a bunch....
But just a few will allow that can to sink in a lake.
My recollection is that Cleland tried to hand-deliver that ridiculous letter on the Wednesday before the Republican convention. That would have been August 25, 2004, after the discussion with Burkett. Hmm...it should be easy to identify where Cleland and Burkett were between August 21 and August 25. If CBS's source is Cleland, that fact would nail the Kerry campaign real good. :)
Lots of discussion here, time lines, longer Washington Post story (same raw material) ...
They were faxed September 2.
He was there the 24th of August.
Cleland may well be the source.
Think about it - Burkett is damaged goods. Even liberal Rags like the Boston Globe said he was discredited and not to be believed.
Max Cleland, on other hand, may well be Danny's "unimpeachable source."
I could be wrong, but Max Cleland has yet to deny this allegation. Therefore, we can assume he is indeed the culprit.
I would not be surprised at all if Cleland turns out to be the 'unimpeachable' source.
The next question is will Burkett squeal like a stuck pig.
And will Cleland take one for the team.
With his visible hatred for Bush, I can connect that dot.
The Wash. Times article quotes Cleland as saying he told Burkett to contact the Kerry campaign.
Is this a shot across the bow? Are we going to get the list of democrats who had the memos before CBS?
Wow, this is going to take down both Kerry and Rather in one fell swoop!
We can only hope. Or maybe we can keep the pressure on and make it happen. This is big league hardball---think of all those who've spent millions on Kerry---They will try to cover-up til the end
Am I the only one who sees the parallel paths of conduct among Clinton, Kerry and Rather? Lie, stonewall, lie some more, divert attention, drop some bombs, lie again, stonewall more, dispose of reluctant teammates, lie and on and on. It got tight for Clinton, but he escaped defeat. Clinton is Kerrys newest advisor and Rathers idol. Both Rather and Kerry now have their underwear wrapped around their axles, so why not follow the lead of Clinton? Ah, but Clinton had the gift of felonious persuasionKerry and Rather do not. Ergo, Kerry and Rather fail, to the great applause of Hillary. It makes a wonderful opera!
Will the RNC have the courage to expose KERRY and tell the public he was the one to unleash these documents full of lies? I doubt it!
bump for evidence of democrap snake dealing.
Hummmmmmmmmmm Doesn't Cleland work for KERRY!?!?!?!!?
Kerry is on FNC NOW giving a speech and taking slam shots on Bush & Cheney
It's obviously a packed audience.
As I recall they(the memos) also made a trip through the DNC who sent them on to cBS.
"Kerry campaign spokesman David Wade vehemently denied a connection. "
What the hell does Max Cleland have to say?!
Love it! Got sKerry campaign fingerprints all over it.
If it looks to good to be true it probably ain't.
A sucker born every minute.
At this point there is no need for the RNC to do anything but watch as the RATmedia disembowels itself. Criminal grand juries should be convened soon as well. This party is going full blast without the RNC.
Let me guess IRAQ=VIETNAM
Yep.. it's big league hardball allright. Like in the old days when the strike zone was big and they could throw at you.
My current theory is this, from start to finish:
1. The documents were produced in 2003 to back up Michael Moore's movie.
2. Lots of people heard about them. They might have circulated among activists.
3. Max Cleland got copies. The rumor is that the Kerry camp was suspicious, but may have contacted CBS, assuming that CBS would authenticate them.
4. CBS got the green light from what has now become a circular authentication squad. Somehow everyone said the documents were OK, because everyone believed the content. Nevermind that Burkett was the sole source of both the documents and the content.
5. CBS plays one last card: they give copies to the White House, assuming that phoney docs would be greeted with instant outrage.
6. The White House says thank you for the heads up, closes the door, and everyone rolls on the floor laughing.
7. CBS marches into the valley of death.
And if ya don't know, he will surely tell you!
I gotta believe that as soon as Max got his hands . . . er . . . hand on the forgeries, he just couldn't wait to get them in the hands of someone willing to use them to smear the President. Old 'Hell on Wheels' certainly has sunk far.
The RNC, Karl Rove, et al., are very patient. I think they are just sitting back, enjoying the show and waiting for the right time to strike back (if they need to, that is). The sKerry campaign might just implode on its own without any help from the RNC.
Who's the thumbs-up guy who looks just like a fat Lieutenant Dan?
That is correct. Once the grand juries, indictments and trials start this will be a LONG nightmare for the RATmedia.
That's Van Os, the Texas DNC and Burkett's mutual lawyer, who's running for Texas supreme court.
I disagree the media will never back down neither will Kerry and the DNC,unless the RNC steps up the truth will never totally come out!
Obviously you are mistaken since there has already been two weeks of RATmedia coverage. This has been the ONLY story for most of that time which the cabel channels are talking about.
There are some things which the RATmedia must cover even if it does not want to such as 9/11 and this is another one of those things. If the RATmedia decides to drop it that will be just another knife in its heart and hasten its day of demise.
It MUST cover this that is what is so beautiful about it. No doubt it does not want to do this but it is no longer in charge of the agenda. ABC has already begun to destroy CBS's credibility even the NYT is talking about it. No doubt they are all hoping that RATher's resignation will put an end to it but that will only generate more questions.
A couple of comments every so often from the White House will keep it alive for weeks. I am hoping that the RATmedia does just as you speculate it will because that will mean the destruction of our nation's greatest enemy.

New Report Calls On Europe To Meet Its 2020 Transport Fuel Standards Without Reliance On Biofuels
By redirecting corn, grains, and other food crops to use as an energy source, biofuel policy in the United States and Europe has been driving up the price of food and contributing to ongoing international shortages. Most recently, the New York Times ran an expose on the devastating effects these policies have had on the poor of Guatemala.
Europe in particular has established new standards mandating that all transportation fuels contain 10 percent biofuel by 2020. While amendements have been proposed to limit the biofuels made from food crops or on land previously devoted top food crops to only half of that portion, they remain in limbo.
So it's encouraging that a new report from the consultancy CE Delft — commissioned by Greenpeace, Transport & Environment, the European Environmental Bureau and BirdLife Europe — is calling for Europe to meet its 2020 goal without reliance on biofuels from food crops, and laying out the steps for how to get there. GreenBusiness has the story:
The CE Delft report argues the targets can be met through greater investment in fuel efficiency measures, waste and residue-based biofuels, and electric vehicles, alongside tighter rules to phase out the use of biofuels made from land-based food or energy crops.
"The EU Commission's decision to put a limit on the use of crop-based biofuels is a step in the right direction," said John Sauven, executive director of Greenpeace. "The growing use of transport fuels from crops has driven up food prices, led to more deforestation in places like Indonesia to grow palm oil for fuel, and made climate change worse as a result."
But he warned that the EU's proposals needed to be tightened to ensure biofuels that contribute to deforestation and food price inflation are phased out.
"The most serious flaw in the new European biofuel policy is that it does not hold biofuel suppliers accountable for the emissions from indirect land use change, where crops for biofuel displace food production and as a result more rainforests and peatland are cleared to grow food crops," he said. "So fuel suppliers can still use harmful biofuels like palm oil from Indonesia and claim credit for cutting emissions."
The report recommends that both the EU and member states should act urgently to "phase out direct and indirect support for land-based biofuels and [adopt] a trajectory from current consumption levels towards near-zero use in order to prevent further environmental and social damage".
It also calls for tougher reporting requirements for biofuel producers covering their impact on land use and more demanding sustainability criteria for both biofuels and bio-gas.
"The EU and member states need to put a robust policy framework into place that speeds up energy efficiency developments, as well as the production and use of biofuels from waste and residues with no alternative uses," the report concludes. "This biofuel strategy should be part of a broad biomass and bioenergy strategy, as the sustainable feedstock is limited and other applications will also need sustainable bioenergy to meet their climate goals."
Almost 870 million people around the world were chronically malnourished between 2010 and 2012. Studies of the food crisis suffered around the globe in 2008 determined that western biofuel policies played a role. And while agricultural production is able to keep pace with global demand for food, that balance becomes more difficult to meet once demand for biofuels is added to the mix, especially during years when the weather is less amenable to crops. So the biofuel demands of Europe — as well as the United States — contribute to this problem by both repurposing existing food supplies, and encouraging farmers to dedicate their land to growing biofuel crops rather than food crops as prices for that produce is driven upwards.
Needless to say, a good deal of human suffering can be produced if Europe can move its energy policy away from the use of any biofuel that impinges on peoples' food supplies.

6 Responses to New Report Calls On Europe To Meet Its 2020 Transport Fuel Standards Without Reliance On Biofuels
The second-best way to have zero-emission vehicles is to have interchangeable battery packs, such as betterworld.com is now implementing. I could have told you this at least 12 years ago, but American venture capitalists don't listen for some reason.
The best way is to switch to an automated above-grade transit system. This makes the remaining ground roads safer for bicycling.
Hats off to Greenpeace UK.
Would that the US greens would fight as hard to shut down the ethanol industry in this country as it is fighting to stop the tar sands pipeline.
US EPA is going ahead with its 15% ethanol mandate despite opposition from Oxfam, cattle, poultry and livestock interests, auto manufacturers concerned about engine damage and warranties.
Oh, to get our priorities straight…when?
Time to walk, run and bike away from an auto-based transportation system. Good to see someone is rethinking the tragedy that land-based biofuels have become. Besides the obvious impact on food prices, they are a huge drain on dwindling rural water resources.
I remain dubious about how much we can or should do with 'waste' since there really is no such thing. Most of that 'waste' should be returned to the ground to improve tilth, or should not be produced in the first place.
By the way, that 870 million figure was accurate for 2010, but, iirc, it climbed above one billion by 2012. I'll see if I can track down a source on that, though.
Never, as long as you remain a capitalist society. In such dystopias profit maximisation is the highest, indeed often the only, good considered, and destroyed biospheres and brutalised Guatemalan peasants mere 'collateral damage' and 'externalities'.
They could also have a good hard look at the amount of agricultural biogas made from corn use in electricity generation in Germany. It's the world "leader" and seems intent on retaining the title.
So, let me get this straight…the environmentally correct position is to gently cradle the balls of the oil industry, since their contributions to our life and environment are all "positive"?? Folks ought to begin by questioning who benefits from continuing to support and subsidize "Big Oil", note that primary opposition to "biofuels" comes from oil allies such as API, and probe just under the surface of the anti-biofuel commentary to identify things such as the fact that all those hungry Guatemalan peasants do not use yellow flint corn(an ethanol feedstock) for food, but rather white corn,a different product entirely. The major problem with food price and availability is the cost of conventional petrochemical contribution to transport and packaging cost, harvest and fertilizer costs, and not the use of land, produce and "waste" to manufacture fuels. Lots to discuss here, but blindly adopting the Oil Industry position is flat-out stupid.

text: Research Overview In our first line of research, we seek to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying brain injury in order to provide a rational basis for preventing and treating important neurological disorders and diseases. We are investigating how expression and function of the brain's major glutamate transporter, GLT1, is regulated at normal synapses and how GLT1 function is compromised in acute and chronic neurodegenerative diseases. In addition, we are working to characterize pathways of programmed cell death in neurons and oligodendrocytes. In our second line of research, we are investigating the biochemical and molecular basis of behavioral state regulation, with a particular focus on the role of nitric oxide and adenosine in regulating behavioral states (sleeping and waking).

Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Ethnic - Asian, Young Girl
When one comes to Japan, it is amazing to see how many young women are all around you. On the trains, in the cafés and trendy restaurants too, Tokyo Teens rule the scene here. They call the shots, own the streets and bask in the attention they receive.
Not a bad collection of young, cute, hairy-bushed Japanese girls, with a couple of standouts in the looks department. However, as is the case with most authentic Asian porn, the passiveness of the girls makes for sex scenes that, when left unedited, can be a bit repetitive.
Nana Takeuchi is cute with a great body and she manages some spirited sex, and Anri Kurata exerts a lot more energy than many of her peers (although she doesn't love the cum on her face). A subtitled interview gives the sex scene with Kurumi Nohara some life, especially when she giggles at the site of a cock. Some POV sex and dildo action also spice up the sex scene.
Not much production value as most of the action is shot on a bed, but worth a look for those who can't get enough authentic young Japanese babes.

Fischer Audio DBA-02
" Introduction A warning before we even get to the review. This is kinda lengthy. I'm not sure how it got so long since it is just one product but yeah it is a bit long. Fischer Audio has slowly gained popularity over the last year or so and there was quite a buzz on them but nothing interested me enough to go out and purchase them. That changed when LFF posted a review on the DBA 02 and..." --rawrster
Fischer Audio TBA-04 IEM
"When my 2 year old DBA02 mkii's lost left channel signal strength, I needed a replacement, pronto. I took note of some good sounding < IEMs from |joker|'s list and headed off to the nearest headphone store - to tide me over till I went custom, so the idea went. (I totally agree with |joker|'s 9.2 assessment of SQ on the DBA 02 mkii, fyi) As it turned out, they..." --exsomnis
Fischer Audio DBA-02 Mk II
" The DBA-02 Mk IIs are getting a lot of the same fame and respect their initial version siblings got. While initial comparisons suggest the Mk IIs are not as distinctive as the originals in shining with as fearless a midrange and treble, the major sonic character seems to have carried. (I never heard the originals but have gathered this from others' opinions.) And..." --ScuderiaHeadFi
Fischer Audio Omega Twin
"The Twins is the top offering from the Omega Series ($79 USD), "the one-solution companion for your entire day" "giving you a fantastic experience be it commuting, casual listening or hitting the fitness arena", further aided with a 1 button remote for smartphone users. The Twins claim to be the "choice for those that demand only the best" when working and working out. This is quite a..." --Tom22
Fischer Audio Omega Ace
"Just gonna do a brief review. Got these for RM250, which translates to roughly 62USD. For that price, you would not even be able to find another pair of over-the-ear IEMs. Overall, the build feels pretty solid despite the plastic housing and it comes with a twisted cable. The drivers aren't big, and thus fits into the ears well without any protruding parts. Comfort wise, these pair of IEMs are..." --Asher Lim
Munitio SITi S Nine Millimeter Earphones - Dark Silver
" These seem to have fallen out of favor in the last few months. I don't know why. Maybe it's because they're not "audiophile" level gear. I mean, it works out in my favor because I got them on the cheap, but it's kind of sad for Munitio. I want to sing their praises from the rooftops personally. I would have been happy to have paid full price, and maybe a little..." --benzoylmethyl
Fischer Audio Consonance White Earphones, Headphones for New Music Re-Vitalized
"Introduction: Sometimes in life, things kinda catch you by surprise when you least expect it and this is exactly what I found with the Fischer Audio Consonance Earphone. When I purchased my KEF M200s, I thought this would be for life; these were most accurate sounding IEMs I had heard to date. However, there was a downside like with most things in life and that was the..." --mcook1970
Fischer Audio ToughStuff-9001
" Straight out of SANSA Clip+ Bass is accurate, punchy and deep, the mids are slightly recessed and the treble is very crisp. Clarity is up to Fischer standards, no veiled sound here. Overall they sound very similar to the ATH M50, but with less recession and greater clarity (though less inviting imaging) These are one of the best IEM's I'ver ever heard, and for the price..." --1eye1derweasil
Fischer Audio Eterna
" So I owned a pair of CX300II's for over 4 years and finally decided to get a new pair. Of course, I was looking to upgrade from the sennheiser in terms of Bass and overall quality. After reading Jokers 131 IEM thread, I decided to get these. I am extremely pleased with my purchase. I as looking for a IEM that I would use for 1-2 hours at a time on my way to school, and these are..." --2enty3
Munitio Call of Duty COD MW3 Special Edition 9mm Earphones With In-Line-Mic MW3 B-MW3-002 Billets
"This is my first review on headfi. I recently joined and although I love headphones and music, I don't have much technical knowledge. I was looking for a good pair of earbuds to use with my cellphone, as well as during workouts etc. This one fit my needs perfectly, had great reviews on amazon and wasn't very expensive. The package includes a carrying pouch, earpieces (S, M, L), earhooks ..." --sonomics

Hello there. I recently implemented the Matt Mullenweg random image script on my website, rarerborealis.com. I placed the file, named 'rotate.php' in a folder called 'random-image' located in my 'plugins' folder.
I then put a 'text' widget in my sidebar with the code:
<img src="http://rarerborealis.com/wordpressblog/wp-content/plugins/random-image/rotate.php" alt="ooh la la">.
If I replace 'rotate.php' with any of the images in the folder it shows up just fine. I can't figure out why the php code won't work, particularly as it says if you place it in the same folder as the images it requires no editing at all (I placed it in as-is with no changes). Any thoughts?

ACSO Lieutenant Under Investigation After He Accidentally Shot His Gun at the Courthouse
Alachua County Sheriff's Office Court Security Supervisor accidentally discharged his weapon...inside the courthouse.
Now, the incident is under investigation.
Lieutenant Calvin Decoursey was getting ready to clean his gun when a live round discharged into a briefcase in his office.
No one was hurt in the incident.
Firearm safety experts at Gainesville Target Range say discharges like this one happen mostly during cleaning or holstering.
"If you ever hear of firearm accidents, it's not really an accidental discharge. It's a negligent discharge," said Steven Bottcher, a firearm safety instructor at Gainesville Target Range.
The Alachua County Sheriff's Office said that Lieutenant Decoursey followed all the protocols for reporting this incident.
He has been put back on patrol, something the Sheriff's Office says was already in the works.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Deadpool #27 made headlines yesterday when it was announced that the cover had set the record for the most comic book characters on a single issue cover, as declared officially by Guinness World Records. It also brought a lot of discussion in our comments, as fans asked what the previous record holder was and if, indeed, it truly beat out every other cover out there as depicting the "most comic book characters on a single issue cover."
So I thought maybe we should take a look at some of the candidates folks pointed out …
It's a little difficult to believe it's been 10 years since the debut of JLA/Avengers, a crossover that found the greatest heroes of Marvel and DC Comics used as pawns in a cosmic game between Krona and the Grandmaster. Of course, it's also hard to believe there hasn't been another Marvel/DC crossover since then.
In any event, the Superhero Costuming Forum organized a gathering of cosplayers earlier this month at DragonCon in Atlanta to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the miniseries with — what else? — a photo shoot of an elaborate battle between the Justice League of America and the Avengers. Artist George Perez even got in on the action.
Lucky for us, Pat Loika was on had to photograph the costumed brawl. You can see a couple of his photos below, and many more on his Flickr account.
Consider the Twinkie. A relic of a more indulgent age, lately almost an afterthought, and most recently the latest symbol of vanished childhoods everywhere, it is once more in the spotlight due to the apparent end of the Hostess company.
While I have my own thoughts on the specifics of that particular corporate conclusion, suffice it to say that my sympathies are more with the soon-to-be-displaced workers than with either Hostess' management or the Twinkies' fans. Still, the reaction to Hostess' demise demonstrates that there's still a demand for the indestructible yellow creme-torpedoes — perhaps even more so now — and as long as people want 'em, the Twinkies will be there.
The most important thing about a Twinkie is that it's a Twinkie. Specifically, it's made according to a particular recipe, and it has a particular name. Those two pieces of intellectual property will most likely be sold as part of Hostess' liquidation, thereby giving their new owner the ability to make "genuine" Twinkies. In my estimation, it's only a matter of time before Twinkies, Ho-Hos, Ding-Dongs, and all their confectionery cousins find their way back to stores near you.
The great strength of DC's superhero line is its heterogeneity — that is, its history of bringing together different genre-based roots and different storytelling approaches. However, as the shared-universe model came to dominate superhero serials, DC's various high sheriffs have tried to impose various kinds of order on these disparate perspectives. Starting in the Silver Age, the infinite Multiverse organized characters broadly, for example by generation (Earth-Two), publisher (Earth-X, Earth-S, Earth-Four), or special category (the Crime Syndicate's Earth-Three, the Zoo Crew's Earth-C). Crisis On Infinite Earths consolidated a lot of that, The Kingdom's Hypertime sought unsuccessfully to reincorporate it, and 52 compromised with a scaled-back set of parallel Earths. Today, the New-52 setup still has a Multiverse, but the main DC-Earth has scaled back its superheroic history dramatically.
Details aside, though, each of these cosmological structures is an attempt to bring some deeper meaning to DC's superhero line. Put simply, for a long time DC's superhero books weren't about something, whereas Marvel presented a "world outside your window" in which superpowers came with their own sets of problems. Thus, from the post-Crisis 1980s until the end of Flashpoint last summer, DC was arguably "about" superheroic legacies, and had no small success putting new faces with old names.
And again, those details are not especially germane to today's post. Instead, I want to talk about the nature of DC's various traditions, the extent to which those traditions should guide the publisher, and whether DC's superhero books can, collectively, ever really be "about" anything.

Finance Glossary
Just call us Bond. Amortized bond.
Over 700 finance terms, Shmooped to perfection.
Fast Market Rule
This rule applies mostly to the UK and the London Stock Exchange. When the London Stock Exchange plunges into chaos and there are tons of trades going on while prices are all over the price, things get hectic. People run around, tea gets spilled. When that happens, the fast market rule can apply: it lets brokers relax some of the trading rules.
The big one? They don't have to stick to the ranges of quotes when making trades; they can trade outside of firm quotes.

I'm the site admin and the postfix admin for WordPress that sends out automatic messages to subscribers at our email domain. Ever since updating Subscribe2 (with WordPress 3.5.1) over the weekend the following happened:
* I had to activate the plugin from within each blog (I'm using multisite)
* The emails DO NOT go out (Postfix doesn't see them at all)
* Test emails using the "Send Email" features DOES work (Postfix sees them, they get delivered)
I set up a blog specifically to test for this and that is the behaviour I'm seeing.
Any other debugging I can do? Any ideas?

Another day of Triathlons
... By the time we got back to the hotel there were warnings of tornados and flooding, however we only had a small amount of rain so I think we missed the big storm. Graham has an early start tomorrow as the bike racking today was cancelled because of the impending storm. So it was a quiet night in before the last triathlon day, Graham going off at 11.35, the elite men at 5pm and then closing ...

The toilets were flooded in the hotel this morning, so there was a plumber going around to fix them. I had breakfast while he did. Made another waffle! The news said while the winds last night were severe, no funnel clouds hit Chicago, although they were filmed in other areas. So panic for nothing except scary noises and floating poop.

He said in a raised voice "I didn't get ANY carrots!". We were sitting opposite two other people and so I just quietly said I only had two and he could have them to which he shouted "You got two! I didn't even get one!". I'm not sure what that couple made of this but I chucked the two carrots on his plate and he piped down.

John Smoltz
The Red Sox bolstered their pitching staff with three signings recently, with each pitcher arriving after spending much of 2008 with arm trouble. Former Atlanta Braves ace John Smoltz signed a one-year, $5.5 million deal with Boston, though incentives could bring it all the way up to $10 million. Smoltz was limited to six appearances in 2008 after having right shoulder surgery and might not be pitching until May or June this season.Robert Gauthier / Los Angeles Times

Did you know the newest sport in the Olympics is open water swimming? The world's best open water swimmers will knock heads as they compete 10 kilometers around the Olympic rowing basin. The four-loop race, formally called the Olympic 10K Marathon Swim, will come down to a frantic sprint where anything goes.
It could be said that the sport of open water swimming was initially sparked by Captain Matthew Webb who first crossed the English Channel in 1875. Since that time, 811 people have successfully swum the English Channel. Compare that number with the 2,436 people who have scaled Mount Everest 3,679 times since Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay first visited the peak in 1953.
The swimming events at the first Olympics in 1896 in Athens were open water races held in the cold Aegean Sea in October, including a 4-kilometer race. At the 1900 Paris Olympics, the athletes swam 7 different events - all downstream - in the Seine River.
There are over 200 open water swimming competitions in the U.S., ranging from the Waikiki Roughwater Swim (the inspiration behind the 2.4-mile leg of the Ironman Triathlon) to the 28.5-mile race around Manhattan Island that sells out in 90 minutes. In the U.S., it is estimated that 750,000 people do some form of open water swimming, whether it is for fitness or triathlon competitions.
There are another 200 major open water swimming competitions around the world, ranging from 17,500 people competing annually in the Midmar Mile in South Africa to nearly 4,000 people racing across the 12-mile Rottnest Channel in western Australia.
If anyone is interested in going to watch the Olympic 10K Marathon Swim, the Shunyi Olympic Rowing-Canoeing venue is about 35 kilometers from the main Olympic Village and is closer to the Beijing Airport.
Steven Munatones (www.10Kswimmer.com, www.SwiMetrics.com, www.10Kswim.com, www.swimbythesea.com and www.virtual-swim.com)
To date more than 1000 people have done a swim crossing of the Channel under CSA/CSPF rules
I apologize for the error. Do you know what the precise number is (as of July 2008)? The reason why I ask is because the individual who put together this database states that "811 individuals have swum the channel, completing 1185 crossings". You state that over 1000 people have crossed the channel. I would love to report the correct number at www.10kswimmer.com and www.10Kswim.com. Thank you very much.
Steven Munatones (www.10Kswimmer.com, www.SwiMetrics.com, www.10Kswim.com, www.swimbythesea.com and www.virtual-swim.com)
It's a great addition to the programme.
It will do wonders for the profile of the sport, and has also had benefits for distance swimmers. David Davies, for whom the 1500m is almost a bit short, has said that the open water swimming has revitalised his career and stopeed him from going stale.
When you consider that the track athletes have the 10k, and the marathon to choose from, it is only right to have a longer event for the swimmers.
Rob Robson
Co-founder, iStadia.com sports community | fitness & sports jobs | olympic news
I'm definitely excited to be able to watch an open water event on TV. According to NBCOlympics.com, the women's event can be seen on USA's coverage that begins Tuesday night at 11 p.m. (PST) and goes until 3:30 a.m. The men's event will be in the same coverage time slot Wednesday night. Get those DVR's ready!
But I wonder, how is the competition going to be affected because the event is in the rowing venue as opposed to actual open water? Are open water swimmers used to such controlled environments?
The athletes are used to all kinds of environments, ranging from 55 - 85 degrees water, rough and smooth. Some events are held in lakes that are just as glassy as the Olympic rowing couse.
You can watch the Olympic 10K Marathon Swim live online at www.NBCOlympics.com at 8:55 pm ET tonight (Wed, Aug 20). Watch the world's top 25 open water swimmers go at it around 16 turn buoys all fighting for that elusive gold medal. The women's race yesterday was classic: 2 hours of hard swimming and the top 10 swimmers were only separated by 13 seconds.
