This article points out the obvious except to the Catholics, Muslims, Mormons and certain Protestant religious leaders. Africa, Arab world and some other parts birth rates are not falling except on the fringes. If the religious bigots had their way it would not fall at all. The crises is coming as the fall off in rates is dependent on the culture of the nation involved and the most critical countries birthrates are not falling at all. Uncontrollable starvation is coming to a country near us very soon,
I can't believe what I read in that article. Was the editor being intentionally obtuse? Is he totally unaware of the demographic tragedy about to overtake Europe?
There is no country in Europe today that has a replacement level of 2.00, which is required to maintain a culture, or a civilization. Once a nation hits 1.9 or below, the downward spiral becomes almost unstoppable.
In fifty years the indigenous populations of Europe will have almost vanished. Europe, most notably the UK, will be nothing but outposts in an ever expanding Muslim sphere of influence. Eurabia, if you will. The intellectual and political classes of Britain are making the obvious attempt to avoid this reality, but the tsunammi is coming.
What the writer fails to understand is that capitalism is the result of Western culture...its freedom, its creativity, its respect for the individual, and dare I say it?..its Christianity.
Wow. You guys are so obviously done, you could stick a fork in you.
"...population growth is slowing down anyway. ...if family planning were spread to the parts of the world which do not yet have it (notably Africa)... that would only reduce the growth in the world's numbers from 9.2 billion in 2050 to, say, 8.5 billion. To go further would probably require draconian measures..."
Wow, a totally unfounded assumption. Countries as different as Iran and Thailand have used programs consisting of spreading family planning, education for girls, and media strategies to bring fertility rates down from levels around 6 or 7 to sub-replacement levels below 2.0. These are not wealthy countries. With a little monetary help from the first world, there is no telling how low fertility rates might drop in response to a large push to spread such programs. Italy, Spain, and other countries are down around 1.3, and the results from Thailand, Iran, Mexico, and other countries suggest the whole world could go that low and probably lower in a surprisingly short time.
This article is positive. But it ignored the < 2.1 birth rate problems of many european countries, russia, and japan. I don't want a world where Germany, Russia, and Japan dissapear or have to be populated by immigrants. Those countries should work to get their birth rates up.
When the world population was 2.5 Billion, I chose not to have children. Back then we had articles like this one. And they were just as much folly.
Neo-Malthusism is a joke.
Population is NOT a simple exponential function based solely on time.
Number of children and economic development are highly correlated. Neo-Malthusism says number of children (fewer) CAUSES economic development (greater), in that direction of causality. There are no such things as single causes in complex systems, those are convenient myths. What one needs to do is critically examine the direction of causality between correlated variables, and I think the evidence is definately on the side of economic development causing lower birth rates (by providing additional alternatives raising the relative cost per child, etc. just put on your behavioral economist hat). Number of children is more weighted as an indicator of economic development than a determinant.
Also,anyone who thinks the Earth's population capacity based on resources is anywhere near remotely reached is looking at obvious red herrings such as oil supply. These are resources for the past\current sticky configuration of infrastructure, and not irreplaceably essential resources for the maintenance and continued evolution of the human species.
Go forth and Multiply Less was well done! The UN Population Division says that 200 million women worldwide lack access to modern methods of contraception. If family planning were universally available as promised in human rights documents, and in the Millennium Development Goals, there would be less mutiplying and less misery. If you look up www.un.org/millenniumgoals and click on number 5 about Maternal Health you will see under Target 2 this observation: "An unmet need for family planning undermines the achievement of several other goals." Amen to that! I am co-founder of 34 Million Friends of the United Nations Population Fund. When President Bush refused to release $34 million in 2002, we started asking 34 million Americans for one dollar. Please see www.34millionfriends.org. This grassroots movement has saved women's lives in childbirth and offered the family planning which empowers women to make choices for their lives and to contribute economically to their families. 34 Million Friends is a wonderful message to the world from the American people. Cheers, Jane Roberts
Very Interesting Article. I am originally from Bangladesh. However this argument of having fewer kids and being richer maybe counter productive when the entire nation / world starts doing it. If the Entire world starts producing 1.5 kids per family it will be filled with old people and eventually empty towns. Not that its a bad thing. But I really think there should be a 30 year cycle when one generation has more kids and the next one does not. I dont anyone now in Bangladesh who has more than 2-3 kids. The generation prior has like 5-7 kids. Chinese population will be like 800 million in 20 years if they continue their one child policy. I dont know if china can fill its factories at that point.
Color me a Malthusian. While a welcome trend that birth rates are falling closer to a sustainable 2.1 children per couple, it does not negate the fact that this world's human population may very well exceed 9 billion souls by 2050. That would be about 7 billion more than this planet can accommodate in a reasonable fashion. So while as a group we might be slowly going in the right direction, possibly, not nearly as fast as our demands on this planet's finite resources are expanding.
China is a good case in point. Even with decades of a near draconian family planning program, a nation of some 1.3 billion people is still grossly overpopulated. All the more in the context of a rapidly developing economy and standards of living which exponentially increase the amount of oil and all other resources they will consume.
The common dictum is that if everyone in this world lived by the standards of the American middle class it would take 6 (six) planet Earths to supply them enough resources. In oil alone, America, with about 4% of the Earth's population, consumes 25% of its oil. This when China is demanding more and more, and with the advent of Peak Oil there will actually be less and less. This same principle might be extended to most anything else we use or abuse. Only 10% of large fish remain in the world's oceans, with many local fisheries having entirely collapsed from over fishing. 85% of the forest on Madagascar has been wantonly cut down; I forget how many acres of rainforest Brazil loses every day. The fact is that whether one is talking about copper, or wheat, or water that each can be defined in finite terms, as in just so much and no more.
We at last have to live within our means. That means within the natural capacity of this planet, in best practice in conjunction with her. That has been anything but business-as-usual to date, but if we do not change our ways we will learn to our regret that Mother Nature has only so much tolerance.
It is true that rapidly dwindling populations make a demographic nightmare for economists and those trying to rationalize pension schemes and good deal else. But the reverse is nearly as true, if not more so, evident in a rapidly changing climate we are directly responsible for, which will have a direct and very bad consequence for all living things on this planet by 2100, and indeed before. Indeed, now. Just how many forests and coral reefs have to die, or entire species go extinct, before we really pay attention? For in the end it will be us as well. It already is if one were to ask the 3 billion or so people extant who live on $2 per day; I don't see too many large SUVs in their future. Or perhaps anyone else's if we continue to act like we can do what we want with impunity forever without consequences.
What a marvelous place we live within. A wonderful home, and virtual cornucopia to meet nearly any want or whim. But within measure. Within balance.
Is there any source or mathematical methods used in calculating your ambitious claim that the planet earth can only sustain 1-3 billion middle-class citizens?
For your information, the planet does already support far more than a billion middle-class citizens. Take the western world, add Korea, Japan and Taiwan to that, and take a bit from each of the developing countries - the sum is definitely A LOT more than a billion and probably inches closer to 2 billion.
And if those numbers continue to go up? What of it? Malthusians, while prudent, always fail to take account of the ingenuity of the human race and the bountifulness of the planet Earth. The push for renewable energy should be a cause for hope. We also recycle more and more. Perhaps space exploration will become handier. And even on Earth we did not even scratch the surface, literally.
China's one child policy is cited as somehow beneficial to the rest of the world population due to the avoided environmental impact.
If any decrease in population is a success for the environment then isn't any recent war with significant human casualties also a success? What is the environmental benefits of all of the Chinese girls that were murdered at birth over the last 40 years? The questions that are raised from this kind of thinking are gruesome. Who quantifies this stuff?
Artificial controls on population and fertility are a really, really bad idea(really). Family planning, contraceptives, education for women, etc, are great tools to help poor people make their own fertility decisions and take control of their lives. But china's "one child" policy is a humanitarian disaster not a "win" for the environment or the world population.
The final line also says that the "bad news" is the girls who will be the mothers of the next big generation are already born. I just can't grasp how girls being born is "bad news." I love the article, its a great summary but I am left with the idea that some would like to see human dignity taking a back seat to the push for smaller populations.
Are women who have "too many" children irresponsible? Who really has the right to say that 1 is better than 4?
As a person in a developing country, I think if the country has a high GDP, and a perfect welfare, the people will have a less children. For people in a developing country, they have to depend on their children when they are very old and cannot live by themselves.
And at that time, their income is perfect and get a good education, maybe they want more free time and less children. Meanwhile if the society welfare is very good, they can rely on our society.They have no worry.
This seems like a rather nihilistic opinion piece than an actual news article. Is the point of humanity to simply exist until an asteroid wipes us out or until the sun burns out? Why must our grandchildren and their descendants on be content with only earth? I am sorry but we need population pressure in order to expand and go forth. There is an entire universe out there, why be imprisoned in our cradle?
How are you going to possibly change resource use enough to allow 9 billion people to live a middle class lifestyle???
Will technology make things more efficient, sure. But resource use still increases dramitically as your lifestyle goes up. Most likely the number of people the earth can support sustinably at a nice standard of living, is between 1-3 billion, and well short of 6-9.
Oh and when you arrived at the value of 2.1 for sustainability, you took into account death of the female before reaching the reproduction age. Did you also consider homosexuality into the picture - that the girl could be a lesbian and thus not likely to have children? I think this will have a more profound effect that death anyway. Just curious!
The subtitle to this article shows a tremendous bias. I guess by this standard Russia should be exuberant. Their best days are yet to come? This conficted article correctly identifies periods of significant growth that correlate to significant INCREASES in population.
If the world has too many people, maybe the Malthusian crowd could lead by example and reduce their own numbers. Instead, they want to impose their selfish, discredited theory on poor people the world over. How many more examples do we need that misguided government interventions are the real problem? Many observers may think Zimbabwe an unsustainably overpopulated state, since they depend on sundry forms of foreign aid. How is it that they used to be a major exporter of food, with a relatively high standard of living? There are fewer people there now, and it is a train wreck because of failed policies and corruption.
This is very good, but is still short term. You have mentioned how some cities/countries have a fertility ratio of less than 2.1. This will cause the problems that Japan is facing currently - too many old people to take care of and too few young ones to run the economy.
The problem with births is that its full effects appear only after a very long time, by which time it is too late to do anything anyway. Consider also the change in demographics through population control - if there are too many old people who need help, then naturally the country will look for cheaper labor to take care of them through immigration. This of course has a very profound effect on the demographics of the region, not necessarily in the positive direction.
In some Catholic countries like the Philippines, the story is reverse. The Phil population growth rate is still in the high 2% (~2.6%) due to constant intervention of the Catholic church wc prohibits the use of artificial birth control methods. When duly
elected officials in Manila tried to pass out contraceptions aids
to the poor, the archbishop, who is not elected by the people, threatened excommunication to the issuer as well as ther user. With
this kind of medieval mindsets, no wonder the Phil. still has a runaway baby boom even in the midst of this economic crisis.
Not long ago, Pres. Arroyo highlighted the plight of an unemployed
pregnant woman who already had a dozen children. Until the masses can be unshackled from these kinds of mindtraps, socio and religious ones, we'll continue to see so many extra children being born into
poverty and into a world that's depleting in resources.
Would be truly interesting to get an estimate of how much additional dedicated aid it would take to supply all (or almost all) the 25m African women lacking contraception with this tool. For the rich world the "Net Present Value" of such an effort would probably be very positive...
...both in increased value of life for the African population, for global environment and in less need for aid in the future.
Insightful article on the subject.
As usual, the 'answer' (to anything really) is to manage trade off. Balancing resource use and economic growth and prosperity is a great challenge and one that will occupy us for a long time to come. Population control is ONE of the tools, as the author rightly points out.
@Kroneborge: I agree and I think the author does as well. No one solution is the silver bullet. Managing population and using technology to mitigate environmental impact are the two biggest tools available to us and they must be used in concert to achieve sustainable long term growth for the human race.

Secret WWII plan to hide soldiers in Gibraltar
More than 60 years after the end of the Second World War, a retired doctor from Preston has been named as the chamber's last survivor, as researchers struggle to unlock its remaining secrets.
"I had a telephone call one day and they came over," Dr Bruce Cooper said yesterday. Only now has the 92-year-old broken his silence on the mission whose existence was one of the war's best-kept secrets.

Jim Crone - 2/8/2007
Unfortunately piece was heavily edited by the Independent on Sunday which did nothing more than provide an account of what was already known ten years ago. The edited peice completely failed to cover the following three elements;
1. Dr Coopers description of the secret chamber that he was taken to in 1942 is in some aspects different to the layout of "Stay Behind Cave". This is now fuelling existing rumours that a second secret chamber is yet to be discovered. I have a sketch of such a chamber in my research files, it originated from an MI6 source. Further information has come from a former GCHQ telegraphist which suggests that tandem Operation Tracer units operated during the Suez crisis, so this may also have been the case in Gibraltar.
2. On several occasions during the past month a specialist team has been searching the Upper Rock area of Gibraltar for evidence of a second chamber and two areas are of interest within MOD property.
3. Discussions are currently taking place in the hope of bringing Dr Cooper to Gibraltar to reunite him with "Stay Behind" Cave or to possibly identify the whereabouts of a second secret chamber.
I am actually one of the researchers who interviewed Dr Cooper on behalf of the discovergibraltar.com website. A substantial amount of information has been added to the website which includes MP3 audio clips of Dr Cooper talking, also photographs of him in 1942 as well as photographs taken of him at the meeting. The section also includes up to date information about Operation Tracer and photographs of Stay Behind Cave taken at the beginning of January 2007.

I have a large-ish 28 gun safe already. it isn't full yet but, it weighs 500 pounds. All of the bedrooms in our house except one are on the second floor, including the Master Bedroom. The gun safe is on the first floor. Now, we do not own the house so before you say I should get it moved to the second floor, I have thought about that but we are not going to buy this house and I will have to have it moved back down and onto a truck when the time comes to move.
I hate the idea that the safe is on the first floor and we are on the second at night. We each (wife and I) have our handguns with us at night and I have the HD rifle, an AR and she has the HD shotgun with us as well. But, every night we have to get them out and take them up with us, and every morning they come back down stairs and go into the safe. It's kind of a pain.
So I am thinking a small safe like the kind I have seen at Costco and Lowes before. I think they hold no more than 10 guns or so. Something like this:
Shop Sentry Safes - Sentry G1055E Gun Safe with Electronic Lock - 10-Gun #GSG1055E
Anyone else have this same problem?

Infinite Surds. As we can see there are ten terms of this sequence where is the general term of the sequence when, is the first term of the sequence.
Extracts from this document...
Math Portfolio Infinite Surds Introduction a surd is an irrational number that can not be written as a fraction of two integers but can only be expressed using the root sign. Bellow an example of an infinite surd: This surd can be turned into a set of particular numbers sequence: 1.414213562 1.553773974 1.598053182 1.611847754 a51.616121207 1.617442799 1.617851291 1.617977531 1.618016542 As we can see there are ten terms of this sequence where is the general term of the sequence when, is the first term of the sequence...Etc. A formula has been defined for in terms of: (1) A graph has been plotted to show the relation between and. ...read more.
to this: � x2=1+x � The equation can be solved using the solution of a quadric equation: Whereas a=1, b=-1, c=-1 Two solutions for x were obtained: x=1.618033989 and x= -0.61803387 The negative value is ignored so x=1.618033989 which is the exact value for this infinite surd. Another condition of infinite surd can be taken into consideration to acknowledge the point more: Where the first term of the sequence is The first ten terms of the sequence are: 1.847759065 1.961570561 1.990369453 1.997590912 1.999397637 1.999849404 1.999962351 1.999990588 h10= 1.999999421 And the formula of the sequence is obtained according to bn+1 which is relative to the term bn: The graph bellow shows the relation It can be observed that when n gets bigger, bn attempt to reach the value 2 which is the exact value for this infinite surd. ...read more.
so: To find some values of k to make the expression an integer: We can see that 4k is an even number and 4k+1 is odd, so is an odd number if 4k+1 is a perfect square hence 1+ is an even number and possible to be divided by 2. As a result if 4k+1 is a perfect square we can obtain an integral number in the result. For example let k=2: k=3 � not integer because13 is not a perfect square Thus we come to the conclusion that only limited values of k can be used to make the result an integer and those values are any value of k can make 4k+1 a perfect square such as k = 2,6,12...etc. ...read more.

If we can get a #6 for Gorin, we may get the same for some of these guys. Marquis Hill - looks like the clock's going to hit midnight for him. With two Belichick guys in NY and Cleveland there may be a little interest in him. Nick Kaczur - there were a few trade rumor rumblings before the draft and we drafted a couple of OT. Kaczur would need to be traded for more and I don't think we'd trade him but if they like O'Callaghan and Britt and think the draftees can be used for depth, this isn't impossible. Keep an eye on Cleveland still, the perception was Thomas would play LT and Shaeffer would move to RT - now I'm reading Schaeffer may be traded as he's never played RT so they could have a need. Caldwell - clearly is usable for someone. Kind of extraneous for us and signed cheap for one more year. Gaffney - see Caldwell. Chad Jackson - More likely to be put on ice for a year, either PUPed, IRed or at the bottom of the 53 man depth chart. If his knee is healing, though, they may move on. That's about it, I guess. Kaczur and Jackson would need to bring more than dump value, the others would be cheap if we traded them. Pre draft there were rumblings of Kaczur and Hill to Cleveland for Andra Davis. We still have a need at ILB, they still have a need a DE and will at RT if Schaeffer doesn't move there.
Why do people insist on giving up on Chad Jackson? I think its MUCH more likely that we'll see Hochstein moved than Jackson. Yes, the Pats could move Kaczur, but its not likely because they don't have the depth behind him. O'Callaghan is a huge injury risk. Britt, though he's been in the system for 2 years, hasn't shown much. And then you have the two rookies..... At least with Hochstein, the Pats still have Yates and Mruczkowski. Yates is proven while Mruczkowski is less so.
I agree that either Caldwell or Gaffney will be gone. There clearly isn't enough room for both. it would be nice to get some trade value instead of just flat out cutting one.
I'm not. I said "more likely to be put on ice" for this year. But I think it's possible. I think there probably was a maturity issue, it's been stated by too many sources including, most recently, Reis, in his mailbox IIRC. They may choose to move on. I don't THINK they will and I'm not giving up on him. But I'm talking about guys "I Think COULD" be traded and Jackson fits that, depending on health.
I gotta disagree here. I think that there is plenty of room for both Caldwell and Gaffney on this team. They do need 5 WRs. Caldwell and Gaffney represent much better talent than Kight or Childress. Having a Caldwell and a Gaffney as the #4 and #5 receivers gives Brady guys that he's gone to before and that he knows. Moss, Stallworth and Welker are guys that Brady will have to get to know. And if one of those three goes down, having a Caldwell or a Gaffney to step is is better than having to rely on a Kelvin Kight or a Jonathan Smith.
My guess at our WR is : Stallworth Moss Welker Brown Washington Jackson. Sure I could see Brown retiring, Washington being cut or Jackson being IRed. But those are the 6 I see.
I guess a 6th rounder is better than nothing. IMO Day 2 draft picks are full of romance but don't usually pan out. I did this chart before the draft to see how our roster was developed. http://www.patsfans.com/new-england-patriots/messageboard/showthread.php?t=54202&highlight=roster
Why trade Jackson now? He has no value, considering he has done nothing in the NFL and is coming off an ACL injury.
You're smokin' it up with Randy if you think there's even the slightest chance NE would trade Chad Jackson.
I think the WR depth chart will end up being: Moss, Stallworth, Welker, Washington, Gaffney and Troy Brown will make the roster as a 6th receiver/dime-db. Reche will either be traded or cut. Let me add that Chad Jackson will be put on PUP or season long IR situation.
Guys, guys, guys: Why in the world would you get rid of Reche Caldwell? He had 62 catches last year, 750+ yards. Has a year of experience in the system. Hard worker. Physical player. And, an affordable contract. He is your obvious fourth wide receiver unless somebody beats him like a drum in training camp. He'll rotate with Moss and Stallworth plus give you a solid NFL player when one of them gets dinged. And, I would expect him to get significant playing time because I think they plan to play games with Moss, lining him up in the slot from time to time, forcing defenses to deal with Welker in one package, Moss in the next. If you trade Caldwell, you start camp without a single WR on the roster who has experience in the Pats offensive system. You are starting from ground zero without a guy who can share a little insight into the route adjustments and what Brady expects. The top four will be: Moss Stallworth Caldwell Kelker (slot) With the others (Gaffney, Washington, maybe Brown, maybe Jackson) competing for the fifth and/or sixth slots. If Brown comes back, it's to fill the backup slot/emergency DB position and you lean towards Washington as the other guy. If Brown doesn't come back, then Gaffney has a shot as he is experienced at the slot. I don't know why we keep talking about Jackson. He's missing his second full-offseason. When exactly did he show he's ready to be an NFL receiver? Until such time, the only thing he brings to the party is speed and they have speed in Stallworth and Moss. PUP/IR. See ya next year. The Pats didn't sign Moss, Stallworth, Washington, and Welker because they are expecting great things from Chad Jackson in 2007.
Cousin, Kaczur for Davis makes much sense! I agree. I think Thomas will be behind Shaefer for a few games anyway. I'd throw in Hill for one of their QB (Anderson) who has more game experience than Cassel. They have five QB's listed. Good research job on that. Was hoping to steal Hartwell before the Bengals get him. DW Toys
I think it's way too early to give up on CJ. His upside, and what he can provide for us over the next few years when healthy, far outweighs whatever we'd get in return right now. And I also disagree that Caldwell is extraneous. Gaffney is probably the one to go...unfortunate since he was good in the postseason.
Don't forget that Jackson is around for multiple years on a reasonable contract. Stallworth and Kelly are around for one year, then the team makes a decision whether to keep either at a significant salary increase. Moss is in the same boat; although, I don't have the particulars about whether there is a cash extension decision after one or two years. My guess is that Jackson will be on the roster next season to prove whether he deserves to stay. I realize we've heard nothing concrete about the time projection on his injury recovery.
You don't trade up into the beginning of the second round to pick a player and then get rid of him after one year. That would be a terrible move.

@ (monkey-tail) is a simple collection of simple commands. Built-in commands include listing of memory usage and open files for a process (by name or PID), running processes detached from a terminal, and running a program only once. @ can merge external pieces of code into itself to provide extra commands. Additionally, these "externals" can then be updated from their source. Currently there are externals available for extracting archive files (including nested archives), setting the GNOME desktop wallpaper image, and for replicating @ to another host via SSH. Externals can easily be written, as they are simply collections of Bash functions. It is completely self contained and self modifying, and is implemented in a single file.

AIKEN, SC---While it's a known fact about the success Aiken has had on the nation scene in the horse business, it's a little known fact there's plenty of Olympic talent located right here as well. Eventing is made up of dressage, cross country, and the premiere event, show jumping.
This past week, Olympic eventing coach Mark Phillips was in town lending his knowledge to those looking to further their career in the sport. Take Corinne Ashton. While not an Olympian, Ashton was able to work with Phillips and has been able to take a lot out of the experience.
"This is actually the first year that I've done it and I'm pleasantly surprised on how much good it's done" added Ashton "At the top level, it is difficult. The lower levels not so difficult but it's the willingness of their (horses) minds that the main thing. You can have all the talent in the world but if they don't want to do it, then there's no point."
Ashton does some jumping in U.S. Grand Prix events and also says while getting the instruction is great, having the right horse with the right temperament is the key to any of three eventing sports.

The mishloach manos of times gone by were sometimes simple and sometimes elaborate, but the main focus was on the preparation of the delicious food they contained.
One of the earliest special Purims we have on record was celebrated by the Jews of Granada and Shmuel HaNagid, the eleventh-century rav, poet, soldier and statesman, and one of the most influential Jews in Muslim Spain.
Jews, wake up! Stop educating the world and start educating yourselves.

Forty-six years ago, in the first week of June, Israel stunned the world when it wasn't looking. Four years later, Israel stunned me when I wasn't looking.
Jerusalem was never real to me. It was a name I came across in books of Bible stories as a child. If I'd ever tried to imagine it, it would have been like places in my books of fairy stories. I knew it was a city with crenellated walls, with domes and towers and minarets. In my mind, I saw it peopled with old men with long beards and flowing robes, and women with clay jugs precariously balanced on their heads.
Jews all over the world celebrate Israel's Independence Day – even those who have no intention of ever coming on aliyah, and many of whom have never even visited Israel. "It's a kind of insurance policy" one overseas friend told me. "By supporting Israel financially and emotionally, I know that its sanctuary is available to me or my children or grandchildren should the need ever arise."
As we get older, nostalgia takes over many areas of our life and we often yearn for things from the past.
One of the most popular of our chaggim is Simchat Torah, which falls on the last day of Sukkot. As its name suggests, Simchat Torah celebrates the joy of the Torah. There is no record of this holiday before the 11th century, and its origin may have been in Spain.

For Thailand's Thaksin, a warm yet wary welcome
The ousted Thai prime minister, who returned Thursday, faces corruption charges and a divided nation.
Bangkok, Thailand
Exiled former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra returned to Thailand Thursday for the first time since a September 2006 coup. The move was a show of strength, two months after his allies won parliamentary elections.
About 4,000 jubilant supporters greeted Mr. Thaksin at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi airport, where he emotionally knelt down and touched his forehead to the ground with his hands pressed together in a Buddhist wai, a prayer-like gesture. The former prime minister waved to the crowd before heading to the Supreme Court, which immediately granted him bail on two corruption charges, on the condition that he ask for permission before leaving the country.
"I left Thailand as a prime minister, but on my return, I am a suspect," Thaksin told reporters at a press conference later in the day.
"I want to prove myself and reclaim my reputation, which was destroyed in an unjustified and unfair manner," he added, vowing to stay away from politics.
The former leader,who had been splitting his time between London and Hong Kong, returns to a country still deeply polarized between the rural poor, who still see him as their champion, and Bangkok's richer citizens, who called for his ouster.
Though the victory of the pro-Thaksin People Power Party in December strengthened Thaksin's hand against the royalist generals who ousted him, analysts say he must not be seen as meddling with the judicial process and provoke more conflict.

I love a touch lamp as I enter a room. No more fumbling for a wall switch. I put this in my bedroom. It adds a splash of beautiful burgundy to a contemporary black and white room. I've had several friends ask if they can steal my lamp. I send them to Overstock.
I purchased two of these lamps. Have sent them back. Lamps were very nice looking, but there was absolutely no weight to them. We have three cats and was afraid they would get knocked over. Did consider putting some kind of weights in them, but in the end sent them back to get something a little more sturdy. Color of lamps and shades were a very pretty burgundy as stated in the picture.
I purchased two of these lamps and when they arrived, I thought Overstock had sent us individual lamp parts because the boxes were so light. The quality of the lamp base is very cheap as the base can easily be scratched/dented/etc and the lamp shade can be permanently wrinkled if you are not really careful. One of the two lamps purchased stopped working after a couple of days so I had to return the defective lamp. Overstock has excellent customer service in regards to replacing the lamp but the second delivery of the product arrived defective (the base lamp had scratches, rough smudges, etc). Had to deal with Overstock customer service again and now just waiting for the lamp base part. Hopefully there will be no issues with this delivery.
Nice color. Perfect size for side table. Truly adore the touch feature. Product arrived quickly. Shade was slightly dented.
This is my first real disappointment with a product purchased on Overstock. Unfortunately, I was out of the country for an extensive worktrip and could not return. The lamp shade is dented in and will not pop out. I would donate but it belongs in the dumpster pile.
I got 2 lamps for our nightstands in our bedroom and I love them! They go perfectly with our d�cor and there touch lamps which are the best for the bedside!!!!

DAKAR – An extremist group in West Africa is reportedly threatening to kill a Spanish hostage seized in western Algeria last October. The group is believed to have split from al-Qaida's North Africa branch last year with the aim of spreading jihad further south beyond the Sahara.
The Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa, referred to by its acronym MOJWA, emerged on the Sahelian terrorist scene in late 2011 after it kidnapped two Spanish aid workers and one Italian aid worker from a camp for Western Sahara refugees in Algeria.
MOJWA is thought to be a splinter group of al-Qaida of the Islamic Maghreb, or AQIM. The new group is believed to have Mauritanian leadership and draw its members from Mauritania, Mali and other sub-Saharan African countries.
The head of the Washington-based Michael S. Ansari Africa Center, J. Peter Pham, says manifestos made public by MOJWA point to two key reasons for the split.
"One was that the non-Arab members of AQIM resented an Arab predominance within that organization," said Pham. "They felt that they were not as respected or included in decision-making and leadership within the organization. The other complaint was that AQIM have become involved in trafficking of narcotics as well as persons, in kidnapping for ransom, and have strayed in the eyes of those who founded MOJWA from the path of jihad and have become essentially criminals."
News agency Agence France Presse reports that it received a written statement from MOJWA this week threatening to kill a Spanish hostage if its demands are not met. AFP reports that those demands include a ransom of 30 million euros, or $38 million, and the release of two people arrested by Mauritania in connection with the kidnapping.
Pham says Spain's track record of paying ransoms is cause for concern.
"Even if half of that amount is paid to MOJWA, it would become the record ransom," he said. "It would instantly give the group a great deal of credibility and prestige. With 15 million euros, and the prestige that goes with that, one can overnight catapult into the big leagues. From there, literally, the sky is the limit, especially given the insecurity that is characterizing most of the Sahel at the moment."
Analysts says radical ideology is gaining ground in West Africa, as seen in the emergence of militant Islamist groups like Ansar Dine in northern Mali and Boko Haram in northern Nigeria. Fallout from the conflict in Libya has only aggravated security concerns as well-armed former pro-Gadhafi fighters return to their countries of origin.
MOJWA is active in northern Mali, where a diverse cast of Tuareg separatists and Islamist militants seized control in the chaos following a March 22nd military coup in Bamako.
MOJWA has claimed responsibility for kidnapping seven Algerians from that nation's consul in the northern Malian town of Gao on April 5th. Negotiations are ongoing for their release.

Celebrity Wedding: Antonio Pierce & Jocelyn Maldonado
The Love Story

The Agilent 8800 Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS has been named an R&D 100 Award winner. (Photo: Business Wire)
"The Agilent 8800 Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS is a groundbreaking innovation that redefines the possibilities of ultra-trace elemental analysis," said Philip Binns, Agilent vice president for spectroscopy products. "The 8800 ICP-QQQ has enjoyed strong adoption in its first year and has defined a new segment in elemental analysis. We are honored that our spectroscopy division has won this award for two consecutive years."
Unlike existing instruments, the Agilent 8800 is the only ICP-MS system with a tandem mass spectrometer, or MS/MS, configuration. Using a high-performance quadrupole before and after the collision/reaction cell, the 8800 precisely controls the ions in the instrument, allowing the user to resolve the most difficult interferences and obtain the highest sensitivity results of any ICP-MS.
The Agilent 8800 enables scientists and chemists to solve challenging analytical problems that have proven difficult for conventional ICP-MS systems in traditional markets such as semiconductors, environmental and food. Additionally, the 8800 offers new research capabilities providing scientists new application possibilities in fields such as life sciences.
The R&D 100 Awards have long been a benchmark of excellence for industry sectors as diverse as telecommunications, high-energy physics, software, manufacturing and biotechnology. Winners are selected by an independent judging panel and the editors of R&D Magazine. In 2012, the Agilent 4100 Microwave Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometer (MP-AES) won an R&D 100 Award. About Agilent Technologies Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) is the world's premier measurement company and a technology leader in chemical analysis, life sciences, diagnostics, electronics and communications.

Gilbert was absolutely stunned by the letter he had in his hand.
Dear Gilbert,
I'm so sorry that Mr. Poland and Mr. Lithuania are the reason that the kingdom of Prussia was abolished.... I'm not that good at communication but, would you like to come over for coffee sometime? I mean, you don't have to if you don't want to... It's just an offer. I feel really bad for you, and I just want you to know that if you ever need someone to talk to, you can come over to big bruder Vash's house and talk to me.
Lili AKA Liechtenstein
Gilbert sighed. He only met Lili once. That is, before he was chased out by her overprotective brother Vash.
He wasn't sure whether he should go and have coffee with her, or be chased out by the Swiss man who always had a gun strapped to his back.
"Oh screw it I'll go...." He finally decided. Gilbert gathered everything he needed and set out to Vash's house, with Gilbird flying right behind him.
~☆ Timeskip brought to you by the Awesome Prussia ☆~
Gilbert stood in front of the large door. He was worried that Vash would charge at him with a gun. But, he was more worried about why Lili asked him for coffee.
He lost the kingdom of Prussia. Why would she ask HIM for coffee of all people?
"What am I so worried about? I'm awesome Pru- I mean Gilbert! I'm the awesome Gilbert Beilschmidt!"
Almost absent-mindedly, he rang the doorbell.
"Oh crap! I better go before-"
The door was opened immediately. But instead of Vash, it was Lili who opened the door.
"You came! I'm so glad!" She said with a cheerful smile.
Her Jade eyes locked into his crimson orbs...
"Excuse me... What are you looking at?" She asked, her eyes wide.
Her eyes plus her smile.... It easily melted hearts with one look.
"Uh... Well... I... I was looking at the ribbon tied to your hair!" Gilbert said as a small blush crept to his face.
"Oh that? My big bruder bought me this! A lot of people thought that I was a boy because I cut my hair to look like big bruder, so he bought me this so the people wouldn't think that I was a boy anymore!"
Just telling that story made her happy. She loved her big brother. He was the world to her.
"Would you like to come in?" She opened the door wider.
"Sure" He walked inside after her.
"I've already made coffee, you just sit down right there on the couch while I go get it!"
Before Gilbert could even open his mouth, Lili ran into the kitchen to get the coffee.
"Why vould a Frau like her invite me over? With those adorable eyes and that smile, she could beg anybody to come over without even trying! So why would she invite me?"
Gilbert brought his hand to his chin to a thinking position.
"I'm back!" Lili shouted as she walked back into the parlor, she brought out a small tray with a teacup and a large mug. Steam was coming out of both of them. "I'm sorry I took so long! I could hardly reach this big mug, it was on the top shelf." She handed him the large mug.
"Danke, but you know could've asked me for help Frau" Gilbert looked at her questionably.
"No no! I am the hostess, and you are the guest! I want to be a good hostess and not ask for any help!" Lili said in a determined voice.
Gilbert put the mug to his lips and took a large gulp of the coffee that was in the mug. "Wow.... It's not as good as beer but it's still pretty good!"
"I'm so glad you like it!" Lili took the teacup and took a sip of coffee.
Chirp chirp!
"W-What is that sound?" Lili looked around frantically.
Chirp Chirp!
"There it is again!" Lili kept looking around.
"Kesesese~ There is someone I want you to meet."
Gilbert reached his hand up to Lili's head and scooped something in his hand and brought it back in front of Lili's face. It was a small yellow bird!
Chirp Chirp!
Lili held her pointer finger out, and the little bird happily jumped onto her finger.
"This is Gilbird! Kesesese~ He's my awesome sidekick!"
Lili put the little yellow bird between her big green eyes. "He's so cute!" She shouted in awe.
Her little outburst had scared Gilbird, so his survival instincts kicked in, and he pecked her right in the forehead and flew off!
"Ouch!" Lili brought her hands to her head to cover up the peck wound.
"Let me see...." Gilbert took one of Lili's hands and moved it out if the way so he could see the peck wound. "The awesome me never forgets to bring a bandaid!"
Gilbert searched his pocket for a bandaid, and found it. He took all of the paper off and put it where Gilbird pecked her.
"There you go! All better!"
"Will you.... Kiss it?"
"What?" Gilbert's eyes widened.
"Big bruder always kisses the band aids after he puts a bandaid on my wounds so that it will feel better.... So will you?" Lili asked with big, pleading eyes.
Gilbert felt his cheeks heat up, turning a shade red that put Antonio's tomatoes to shame.
"Well..... I suppose that it won't hurt anything...."
He slowly leaned in to kiss the bandaid that covered the bandaid.
He leaned closer...
And closer.....
His lips were finally on the bandaid...
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!?!" A familiar Swiss accent shouted in anger.
"Nothing vas going on I-"
Vash took the gun from his back and aimed it at Gilbert. Lili jumped down into the floor, shielding her head.
Gilbert took off running, Vash chasing after him.
"No big bruder! Don't shoot him!" Lili called out to her brother.
"Kesesesese~ You can't catch zhe awesome me!" Gilbert shouted as he ran around the large house.
"Come back here so that I can kill you until you die!" Vash shot randomly around the house, not even caring that he was leaving bulletholes in the walls.
"You can't kill awesome!"
And somehow, Gilbert managed to escape Switzerland. Because he is just that awesome.

9 "Healthy" Foods to Skip
by Dana Angelo White in Healthy Tips, May 13, 2009
The word "healthy" can get tricky. Lots of foods get labeled good-for-you or may seem low-cal, but they're anything but. Here are 9 of the biggest offenders.
Full of fruits and veggies, a smoothie can be a dieter's delight…sometimes. The main problem is the BIG containers. A 32-ounce Aloha Pineapple smoothie from Jamba Juice maxes out at 570 calories per serving; the same size Cherry Picker smoothie from Smoothie King comes in at 660 calories. That's too much for a small snack or even a main meal. Mix in sweetened yogurt or sherbets and your calories from sugar and fat go up more. Not all smoothies are bad and there are lighter options available — check menus carefully and stick to the smallest sizes. Best option of all: make your own.
Some salads — especially at restaurants — come topped with mega-calorie, high-fat ingredients (heavy dressings, cheese, croutons and even fried chicken). For example, a Southwestern Cobb Salad from Chili's has 1,080 calories and 71 grams of fat. McDonald's Premium Caesar Salad with Crispy Chicken (and dressing) has 520 calories and 35 grams of fat. Look out for words like "crispy" and "creamy". Ask the waiter to put dressing or cheese on the side.
Even if it's "whole grain" or "full of bran," many muffins are super-sized, sugary messes. A simple Blueberry Muffin from Dunkin Donuts has more than 500 calories, 16 grams of fat and 51 grams of sugar! Low-fat ones aren't always better — a Blueberry-Apricot one from Starbuck's has almost 400 calories and 47 grams of sugar. If you need a grab-and-go breakfast, opt for an English muffin or even half a bagel with a light spread. Bake your own bran muffins and keep them in the freezer (up to a month).
Fat-Free Cookies
Fat-free cookies and snack cakes may be lower in fat than the original versions, but it almost always means they're higher in sugar and have just as many calories. Plus, manufacturer's often replace the fat with preservatives and other food additives to make them taste more like the "real thing." And "fat-free" isn't a green light to eat the whole package — keep portions of all baked goods small.
Reduced-Fat Peanut Butter
Many of my clients think they're saving calories by using this in their PB&J. It's actually higher in sugar than the regular version and still contains hydrogenated oils (bad for your waistline and your heart). Stick to 1-tablespoon servings of an all-natural peanut butter. Peanuts may be fatty, but they're healthy fats.
100-Calorie Packs
What good is a 100-calorie pack if you eat 3 at a time? Many foods in these packs are low in nutrients and high in sugar, which leaves you hungry after eating them. You're paying extra for the additional packaging, too. Buy in bulk and make your own pre-portioned packets of trail mix, popcorn and whole-wheat pretzels.
Sure, many granola mixes contain whole grains, dried fruit, nuts and seeds — all healthy foods. In some combos, however, they're calorie and fat overloads (1 cup can have almost 600 calories!). Keep portions small, and mix granola with a lower-calorie, whole-grain cereal. Some granolas and boxed cereals marketed as "healthy" have loads of added sugar. Read labels and if sugar in the top 3 ingredients, move on. Nature's Path makes some that I love.
Enhanced Waters & Sports Drinks
Just because "vitamin" is in the name doesn't mean it's healthy. Infused waters and other enhanced drinks are loaded with synthetic vitamins and sugar (more than 8 teaspoons per bottle!). Even the low-cal versions coming out now are just as sweet thanks to a combo of sugar and artificial sweeteners. As for sports drinks, they do contain electrolytes and combat dehydration, but they also come with calories (a 32-ounce bottle has 200). Don't sabotage a workout by downing liquid calories while you exercise. These drinks are for serious athletes (think: at least an hour of strenuous exercise 6-7 days a week). Opt for water — add a splash of lemon juice for a kick.
Low-Fat Salty Snacks
Choosing pretzels, soy crisps or baked chips over greasy potato chips is smart, but it's not a license to snack endlessly. These snacks have empty calories and little-to-no fiber, which leaves you hungry. Eat them occasionally (yes, everyone likes a little crunch sometimes) and watch portions. Or combine them with something more satisfying — and nutritious — like fruit, nuts or a low-fat yogurt.

I'm sorry I didnt' see this supposed
stick to foods in their natural states. pre-packaged ANYTHING carries the risk of too much salt, fat, etc. if your aim is to lose weight, opt for higher protein, higher fiber, very low processed carb eating plan. it's not hard at all to do this!! eating six small meals per day is also a great idea. i've lost 21 pounds in 5 weeks by changing habits that included some of those processed foods and higher fat "healthy" alternatives.
Stephanie, Lara Bars taste great, but high in calories and natural sugar, if you are wacthing your sugar intake, due to diabetes.
If you're a Weight Watcher, like myself, they are 5 Points Plus value. The same as a meal. I would rather have protein and veggies!!! -
Jodi – Great advise. I have lost 60 lbs by using the same guidelines.
I have started reading all labels in the grocery – found that our local chain produced a stone ground wheat bread with no artificial/no high fructose corn syr., found Wallaby yogurt organic to be all natural & other more natural items – my goal is to eat less processed foods (for me & my family of 5) so salads have been my main course & I have lost a little weight (7lbs so far). I still need that crunch factor – have substituted healthy version pita chips & bear naked granola – Anyway, my grocery bill/budget has not changed, the products are a bit more expensive, but feel like when the kids are snacking they are getting more out of the snack. Baking at home from scratch is a big helper as is shopping around for best produce prices.
But I have not yet started looking at calorie counting – what is a good calorie amount for a snack, like my yogurt that is natural, real fruit, 150 calories, 3 gr fat, vs the fake Dannon that has 80 calories. SHould I be more concerned with health factor or calorie count? -
DISCIPLINE – DISCIPLINE is key to losing weight, learning to eat smaller portions can be hard, but in the end beneficial. It's very important to read labels – Sugar, Salt, Fat content need to be low, non-existent, or natural – diabetics need to watch the natural, because some foods are high in natural sugars (like pineapple) — Baking your own goods is great IF you have the time and space — those of us that work 40 + hours, possibly 2 to 3 jobs just to get by — do not have the luxury of baking our own goods – we're to busy catching up on the house/yard work.
Now that I've started reading the lables I now see what this article meant by no-fat snacks being just as bad or worse than the original. I found that the lower fat foods are usually better because instead of adding artifical fats they just cut some out.
I was studying some of your articles on this internet site and I believe this internet site is very informative ! Retain putting up.
I am now making all my own muffins. So many great recipes and you can make them with yogurt to cut down on butter or oil. Delicious and wonderful, and I know exactly what's going into them. Plus it's fun.
This is some great info and was well worth the read. I hope to read more stuff from you in the future that is as well written as this post

Texas abortion showdown continues
POSTED: Wednesday, July 3, 2013 - 5:16pm
UPDATED: Sunday, July 7, 2013 - 9:48am
AUSTIN, Texas (CNN) -- The battle over Texas' attempts to change its law on abortion ran well into the night at the state capitol in Austin, with thousands milling around, all wanting to be heard during a public hearing.
People representing both sides of the issue signed up to testify Tuesday at a House committee meeting on HB2, a bill that would impose strict new regulations on abortions in the state.
The measure seeks to ban abortions past 20 weeks of gestation, mandate abortion clinics to become ambulatory surgical centers, and require doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the clinic at which they're providing abortion services.
Critics said the measure would shut down most abortion clinics in Texas, denying access to many, while proponents say it will raise the standard of care for women in Texas.
It was a heated night and middle ground was hard to come by. Anti-abortion activists, all wearing blue shirts, joined together in shared prayer, telling stories of how abortions destroy lives.
"In 1979 I paid a registered physician $300 to kill my second child. I hated myself it almost destroyed me," Susan Collins said.
Nearby, abortion rights activists, dressed in orange, tried to drown out their opponents with drumming, cheering, and chanting slogans about personal liberty. The opinions of many were summed up by a young woman who yelled, "I'm (expletive) tired of men trying to tell me what I can and cannot do with my body!"
The initial House bill failed last week after a day and night of drama in which state Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, talked for more than 10 hours in an attempt to run out the clock on the legislative session.
But Gov. Rick Perry called a special session so the legislature could take up the measure again.
Almost 2,000 people signed up to speak for three minutes, but by the end of the night, fewer than 100 were able to share their thoughts with the committee.
Registered nurse Vivian Femmy, who works at a pregnancy crisis center, said she supports the measure.
"I have been there on the front lines with the woman we are talking about today," she said. "I am pro-choice, and I am pro-woman. I am pro-woman getting the kind of abortion care that is the finest care she can get. I support this bill because of what it will do to improve medical standards."
Elizabeth Grune arrived at the capitol at 8 a.m. and finally got her chance to speak at 6:45 p.m.
"Christians, we need the separation of church and state," she said. "I don't believe in abortion but it is legal and as such all women deserve equal access."
The room used by the House committee filled almost immediately, and most people watched the proceedings in nine other rooms.
One man who had been waiting to speak against the bill for hours angrily stormed out of the committee room when testimony was closed.
"My grandmother died from a back alley abortion!" he shouted. Many abortions rights activists fear the legislation would restrict access to safe abortions and make women turn to more dangerous methods.
Outside of the hearing room in an outdoor courtyard, it was prayer circles versus drum circles for more than eight hours.
At the end of the night, with more than 1,000 people still waiting to testify, the bill cleared the committee with an 8-3 vote.
The Texas Senate must now vote on the version of the bill in one of its committees before both bills can be brought to the full House and Senate floors.
A final vote is expected next week.
Comments News Comments
Back to the nurse comment, it's interesting that the bill supporters could not find any doctors to support their position. In fact, the AMA and the Tx Ama are against this bill.
I hope the forced birthers immediately went to fill out adoption paper forms for all the thousands of children in foster care who are awaiting a home.
The nurse does not need to set standards that the medical doctors say they don't need. If she wants to be a doctor, she can go to medical school and get her degree.
It sounds like that one lady still has hang-ups from her abortion 40 years ago. She needs professional therapy. And just because she regrets her choice does not mean she gets to tell other women they don't get a choice.

Latics clinch Rodallega arrival
26 Jan 2009 - 15:11:34
Wigan Athletic have finally wrapped up the signing of Colombia striker Hugo Rodallega for an undisclosed fee from Mexican club Necaxa.
The 23-year-old has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with the Latics, with the paperwork to complete his move having taken time to be finalised.
Manager Steve Bruce told the club's official website: "It has taken a while to get all the paperwork completed on what has been quite a complicated transfer, but I'm relieved it's all been finalised.
"This is great news for us. I believe this lad can be as big a success in this country as some of our other imports.
"He is strong and quick, with an eye for goal and I am convinced he can adapt to the pace and physicality of the English Premier League.
"We have had him watched on numerous occasions and I think he has the attributes to make it over here in the long term and go on to be a big player for this club.
"In the short term, his arrival will add competition for places up front. The lad is raring to go and show us what he's made of."

The "fool" category is represented by their members, contributors, supporters, and even local and national politicians who, I believe, are unaware of the complete agenda of the animal rights groups. Such groups in some of our larger cities decry the killing of rats, mice, and other harmful vermin. If they had their way, we would all be vegetarians. There would be no hunting or fishing, no livestock farming or ranching, no zoos or pet shops. What we call companion animals, they call animal slaves. Because of ARFF, a Broward pet shop had to stop delivering trained birds to places such as homes for the elderly.
A number of Broward elementary schools will not let teachers keep small harmless mammals in the classrooms even though many hyperactive children sit quietly while cuddling a guinea pig or rabbit. If the animal rights activists had their way, animal experimentation would stop. And then we would be left with HIV, AIDS, various cancers, multiple sclerosis, and all other diseases we list as incurable. Do you suppose that animal rights activists who are diabetic take insulin? Insulin is a derivative of the meat packing industry. Do you suppose even the most die-hard animal rights activist would deny his or her child a life-saving drug or life-saving medical procedure derived from animal experimentation?
The animal rights activists continually harassing the Hanneford Family and its circus are scum or fools. The scum know exactly what they are doing; the fools don't know any better. And all of those members of ARFF, PETA, and other groups that avail themselves of life-saving pharmaceuticals and medical procedures derived from animal experimentation are hypocrites.
Alan W. Rigerman
New Times is scum, that is: I thought New Times' article on the Hanneford Family Circus was disappointing. Generally, I expect New Times to be something more than just a public relations piece for the circus industry.
While mentioning that the industry has been under fire for cruelty to animals, the author did not bother to provide any examples of just what animal protection advocates object to.
I saw no mention of the bull hooks used to beat elephants into submission and break their spirits. I saw no mention of food and sleep deprivation, common training methods. All I saw was a reporter playing PR hack for the Hanneford circus.

Gluten-free gravy is just as delicious as it's wheat based cousin. This recipe let's your gluten intolerant guests partake in this essential Thanksgiving sauce. The trick is to use rice flour as opposed to wheat flour. You can purchase rice flour at health foods stores or any outlet that sells gluten-free products.
Put the roux back on low to medium heat. Slowly, in small amounts, add the chicken stock (or turkey juices), whisking the mixture vigorously until all the liquid has been absorbed in the roux. Continue to do this, in small drizzles, until the roux has expanded and liquefied into gravy. This will take awhile, perhaps ten minutes or so. When you have reached the consistency you desire for the gravy, add salt and pepper. Taste the gravy, and season according to your taste. Take it off the burner and serve.

Microsoft And Foxconn Parent Hon Hai Sign Patent Agreement For Android And Chrome Devices
REDMOND, Wash., April 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsoft Corp. and Hon Hai, the parent company of Foxconn, signed a worldwide patent licensing agreement that provides broad coverage under Microsoft's patent portfolio for devices running the Android and Chrome OS, including smartphones, tablets and televisions. While the contents of the agreement are confidential, the parties indicate that Microsoft will receive royalties from Hon Hai under the agreement. Hon Hai joins a growing list of contract manufacturing and original design manufacturing companies with Android and Chrome patent licenses.

"We are pleased that the list of companies benefitting from Microsoft's Android licensing program now includes the world's largest contract manufacturer, Hon Hai," said Horacio Gutierrez, corporate vice president and deputy general counsel of the Intellectual Property Group at Microsoft. "By licensing both brand name companies and their contract manufacturers, we have successfully increased the overall effectiveness and global reach of the program."
"Hon Hai is the world's largest contract electronics manufacturer that holds more than 54,000 patents worldwide," said Samuel Fu, director of the Intellectual Property Department at Hon Hai. "We recognize and respect the importance of international efforts that seek to protect intellectual property. The licensing agreement with Microsoft represents those efforts and our continued support of international trade agreements that facilitate implementation of effective patent protection."
Microsoft's Commitment to Licensing Intellectual PropertyThe patent agreement is another example of the important role intellectual property (IP) plays in ensuring a healthy and vibrant technology ecosystem. Since Microsoft launched its IP licensing program in December 2003, the company has entered into more than 1,100 licensing agreements and continues to develop programs that open Microsoft's IP portfolio for customers, partners and competitors. The program was developed to provide access to Microsoft's significant R&D investments and its growing, broad patent and IP portfolio. Microsoft's specific patent licensing program for Android device makers has resulted in signed license agreements with numerous companies including Samsung, LG, HTC, Acer and Barnes & Noble.
