SYRACUSE -- Governor Cuomo toured SUNY Upstate Medical University, the Central New York Biotechnology Research Center, and other businesses in Onondaga County as part of a Regional Economic Development Council Progress tour.
The governor is looking for ways to grow the private sector, and watching progress that's sprouted since launching the regional economic councils last year.
"New York no longer has a one size fits all approach to economic development, and now we are seeing the benefits of this new way of thinking throughout the state," Cuomo said in a media release. "As you can see in the Syracuse area, the regional council has developed a plan that fits its region best and that plan is creating jobs, growing the economy and transforming neighborhoods."
The regional economic development councils get local leaders on board to help direct the state to spur employment and regional assets, often capitalizing on high-tech industries already in the area.
There is $1.4 billion invested in Syracuse's urban core alone, but the resurgence goes beyond the city limits.
Oswego, Auburn, Cortland, and areas beyond are helping boost the economy.
Cuomo says thinking outside map boundary lines to work together will help make visions a reality.
"Forget your government subdivisions, I'm a city, I'm a county, I'm a town. That's not the way it works. The economy doesn't see the boundaries on a map. The economy works in a region," says Cuomo.
He says he's already seen major progress in the last year.
"The cranes are in the air. When you have cranes in the air, it means you're building. It means you're developing. It means you're moving forward," the governor says.
After the tour, Tuesday afternoon, neighbors learned more about the competition to get millions of dollars in tax breaks on the heels of the success of last year's competition for regional economic grants.
Tuesday kicked off the Statewide Regional Economic Development Council Progress tour.

text: In response to comments on coin-dev at openjdk.java.net about our proposed Java language changes, I am changing the implicit methods of InvokeDynamic.foo and MethodHandle.invoke to include a static declaration of "throws Throwable". This aligns with the reality that there is no framework of static checking for throws and catches that applies to those calls; they are essentially dynamic and can throw anything. It allows the Java language to incorporate those new constructs much more accurately (with respect to the conventions of the Java language). I have retrofitted the code internal to the Sun JDK (from meth.patch, etc.), and the exercise consisted of pasting in a bunch of "throws Throwable" declarations in places where they did no harm (other than to look a little ugly). The bytecodes are essentially unchanged; there are no new catches or throws. For more information on the language issues (and subsequent discussion, if any) please see coin-dev: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/coin-dev/2009-June/001954.html Please let me know if there are any other problems with this change, for users of JSR 292. -- John

There are a few memorable things that happen on July 4 each year. Not only do we get to celebrate our great country with great food, drinks and fireworks, but we also get to see professionally trained eaters try and stuff as many hot dogs down their throats as possible.
On historic Coney Island this afternoon, a field led by San Jose native Joey Chestnut will look to make food history in front of thousands of onlookers. Chestnut ate 62 hot dogs (62!) in 10 minutes last year.
The competition is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. PDT. That's noon for those planning on heading over to Coney Island to watch the madness in-person.
In a very confusing decision from the World Wide Leader, ESPN will be airing the 2012 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest on tape delay at 12 p.m. PDT. If you're hoping to watch it live, you can find it streamed live through ESPN3.com at 9 a.m.
We here at SB Nation Bay Area will keep you updated on the event throughout the day. Be sure to follow our StoryStream for results and much more from Coney Island.

RALEIGH -- Some unusually loud noises could be heard Wednesday outside the Legislative Building in Raleigh. Residents gathered for a pots and spoons protest against what they call an out-of-control General Assembly.
Many want lawmakers to put the Marriage Amendment back on the ballot so it can possibly be overturned. Other issues they talked about were the underfunding of public education, protecting the environment and protecting the rights of voters.
"I just think it's important to tell the General Assembly that we don't like the direction that they're taking the state and it's important to inform the people of the state just how extreme this General Assembly really is," said Greenville resident Adam Linker.
For more information about the movement, visit the Equality NC Action Network's website.

Every necklace with come in a parchment type envelope, sealed with red wax.

FAST INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE for Christmas/birthdays etc.
I can send packages by Airsure, which takes roughly 6-7 days and has a facility to track your parcel's progress. It would be an additional £5.50 on top of the postage (a little bit under US $9) and I would only recommend it for busy postal times like Christmas because it's usually only a day faster than Airmail (though Airmail won't let you tack). If you would like your parcel to be sent but Airsure, buy as normal and send me a message or add a note to your order, I'll send you a paypal invoice for the additional postage and when your payment comes through I'll get your parcel off as soon as possible.

Recent articles in the news have highlighted the downsides of using unregulated sperm donor websites, portraying them as placing vulnerable women at risk. Is this really the case or is sperm donation online providing a much needed service, which is not being met by fertility clinics alone? Often highlighted are the occasions when male donors try to abuse the system by requesting payments or offering natural insemination (in other words sex) as the best method of conception.

If you see an exotic looking snake slithering down the sidewalk as a couple of Community Service Patrol personnel look on with concern, what do you do? (what is the Community Service Patrol anyway?) Well if you are Tasha Hale you approach the scene, assess the scenario, and take control of that snake like some sort of expert-type snake wrangler or something, that's what you do. You rescue that poor lonely snake from the perils of the cold cruel world, and give it a comfortable climate controlled enviroment with as much snake food (aka mice) as a loose, people-friendly California King Snake can eat.

The government is in the process of providing air connectivity to remote and interior areas of the country, including the North East and Tier II and Tier III cities, minister of civil aviation Ajit Singh has said.
Addressing members of the consultative committee attached to his ministry, in Bangalore today, Singh said the new policy instrument in the form of `Route Dispersal Guidelines' is under consideration.
The plan includes creation of an Essential Air Services Fund (EASF) for providing direct subsidy to encourage domestic airlines to fly on these remote and interior routes.
He said the civil aviation ministry is also in the process of enhancing the present operations of helicopters and construction of heliports at various places to improve the connectivity of smaller places, including places of religious and tourist importance, with bigger cities.
The ministry would also soon modify guidelines for acquisition of aircraft so that Indian carriers become bound to acquire smaller aircrafts needed for providing connectivity to these smaller cities, he added.
Singh also underlined the need to develop India as an international hub for air transport and said that the ministry of civil aviation has initiated action in this regard, which includes revisiting the policy regarding bilateral air service agreements with different countries and also rationalisation of all bilaterals and traffic entitlements on international routes to Indian carriers as also rationalisation of traffic on domestic routes.
The ministry is also contemplating an effective, autonomous and professionally competent regulatory framework for the aviation industry, he added.

KDFI, virtual channel 27, is a MyNetworkTV owned-and-operated station serving the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The station is licensed to Dallas and owned by Fox Television Stations, a division of the News Corporation, and is a sister station to Fox network outlet KDFW (channel 4). Its transmitter is located in Cedar Hill. KDFI is on channel 7 on most cable systems in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.
Contents |
As an independent station[edit]
Channel 27 initially was granted a license as KLIF-TV in 1967 with a construction permit issued in 1968. However the station never formally signed on and by 1972 the license was deleted. Later in 1981, the station signed on under ownership by Liberty Television as KTWS-TV with religious shows, public-affairs shows, and ABC, NBC, and CBS shows that were preempted by WFAA, KXAS, and KDFW-TV respectively. Channel 27 aired some limited local news, anchored by former WFAA anchor Bob Gooding. The station also broadcast public domain movies during the day. At night, the station ran the Preview, then later VEU, subscription TV services. In August 1984, the station's call sign changed to the present KDFI-TV.
In 1985, KDFI became a general entertainment station for the entire broadcast day. It began running low budget syndicated shows, old cartoons, and B Grade movies. The station continued to run pre-empted network shows as well, and had been able to balance its books.
In 1993, Argyle Television, which owned KDFW-TV, began running programming on KDFI. KDFI was broadcasting mostly talk shows and newscasts delayed from KDFW.
When KDFW-TV switched to Fox in 1995, the newscasts were dropped. KDFI continued the talk format while adding a few cartoons in the mornings and a few sitcoms as well. When Fox acquired KDFW in a group deal, the network moved Fox Kids programming to KDFI from KDAF(Channel 33). By then, KDFI was a traditional independent station broadcasting cartoons, classic off network sitcoms, syndicated talk/reality shows, and movies.
The station continues this format today, though Fox Kids went to weekends only in 2002 and became Fox Box (later 4Kids TV, now Weekend Marketplace) later in 2002. In 2000, when duopolies in television became lawful, Fox bought KDFI outright.
MyNetworkTV affiliation[edit]
On February 22, 2006, Fox announced that KDFI would be part of a new primetime network called MyNetworkTV which launched on September 5, 2006. My Network TV is operated by Fox Television Stations, Inc. and Twentieth Television.
The station began identifying itself on-air as "my 27" shortly after the announcement, reflecting the new network's naming conventions. A temporary logo using the circular 27 symbol and the word 'my' was created. The KDFI website changed its slogan to "Shows I Like are on my 27" accordingly. On Friday, July 7, KDFI officially changed its logo to the MyNetwork style four-square 'my 27' on air. MyNetworkTV ads also began running heavily on this date.
In addition, KDFI may carry Fox network programming should it be preempted by KDFW in the event of a local special or an emergency such as a breaking news story. Prior to this affiliation, KDFI was the only News Corp.-owned station to be an independent, while all other News Corp. stations were affiliated with Fox or UPN. It is also the largest MyNetworkTV affiliate to not have been formerly affiliated with either UPN or The WB.
George Lowe, the voice of Space Ghost in Cartoon Network's Space Ghost Coast to Coast, is the station's imaging voice.
Digital television[edit]
The station's digital signal is multiplexed:
Channel | Video | Aspect | PSIP Short Name | Programming |
27.1 | 720p | 16:9 | KDFI DT | Main KDFI programming / MyNetworkTV |
27.2 | 480i | 16:9 | MOVIES! | Movies! |
27.3 | 480i | 4:3 | BOUNCE | Bounce TV |
KDFI added Bounce TV on March 30, 2012.[1]
KDFI added Movies! network on 27.2 May 27, 2013. Bounce moved to 27.3.
KDFI also has plans for a Mobile DTV feed of 27.1.[2][3]
Analog-to-digital transition[edit]
On June 12, 2009 KDFI ceased its analog transmissions on channel 27 and continues KDFI digital broadcasts on channel 36. PSIP is used to display KDFI's virtual channel as 27 on digital television receivers.
Sports programming[edit]
Due to its Fox ownership, KDFI has, in the past, broadcast Texas Rangers and Dallas Stars games not carried by Fox Sports Southwest. Broadcasts of both teams have now moved to KTXA 21, with the Rangers completing the switch at the beginning of the 2010 Major League Baseball season and the Stars for the 2010-2011 National Hockey League season.
The station also picked up the rights to air two Dallas Cowboys games that also aired on the NFL Network in the 2007-2008 season, along with the network's HDTV feed for those games. The games against the Green Bay Packers on November 29 and Carolina Panthers on December 22 were the highest-rated shows in the history of KDFI.
KDFI began airing a number of Dallas Stars and Texas Rangers games in high definition in early 2008.

A History of Dungeons & Dragons
Part 35: 2008
As the weeks and months of 2008 progressed toward the debut of 4th Edition in June, one thing every third party publisher was waiting for was word on whether the OGL would apply to 4th Edition. Some of them finally chose to stop waiting and move on to other projects. Among them was Paizo, which chose to pursue development of an update to the 3.5 system using their in-house setting. Paizo began a then unprecedented open public playtest of what would become the Pathfinder RPG in the summer of 2008.
When 4th Edition arrived, it came not with an OGL but a GSL, Game System License, which was more limited in scope than the original OGL. Only a few third party publishers signed on, though a few pursued other means of supporting the game via the original OGL.
4th Edition was a complete overhaul of D&D, changing both the game's mechanics and much of its flavor. Classes were now a mix of a Role (Defender, Striker, Controller, Leader) and a power source (Arcane, Divine, Martial). The initial offering of classes included Cleric (Divine Leader), Fighter (Martial Defender), Paladin (Divine Defender), Ranger (Martial Striker), Rogue (Martial Striker), Warlock (Arcane Striker), Warlord (Martial Leader), and Wizard (Arcane Controller). Each class also offered Paragon Paths, similar in theme to 3.5's Prestige Classes. Epic Destinies rounded out character progression as PCs approached 30th level (the maximum) and achieved immortality (either literal or figurative depending on the Epic Destiny). The game was now organized into tiers of play, Heroic (levels 1-10), Paragon (11-20), and Epic (21-30). Every class had a variety of powers, At-Will, Encounter, and Daily, to use in combat. Magic items now appeared in the Player's Handbook as a character building resource. Races included Dragonborn (honorable humanoid dragons), Dwarf, Eladrin (a more fey version of elves), Elf, Half-Elf, Halfling, Human, and Tiefling (descendants of an ancient empire that made pacts with devils). Alignments were simplified from nine to five (Lawful Good, Good, Unaligned, Evil, and Chaotic Evil). The Great Wheel cosmology of prior editions was replaced with the World Axis, introducing new planes like the Feywild and the Shadowfell, and merging the elemental planes into the Elemental Chaos, with the Abyss at its center.
Dungeons & Dragons Insider, aka DDI, debuted alongside 4th Edition, featuring several online tools, though not the full suite originally planned. Dragon and Dungeon Magazine were now digital downloads, supporting the new 4E rules. DDI also offered a downloadable character builder and a searchable Compendium of all 4th Edition rules elements. Other features such as the Virtual Table were delayed while the Character Visualizer would end up being cancelled entirely.
2008 would see only one video game release for D&D, an expansion for Neverwinter Nights 2, Storm of Zehir.
On March 4th, 2008, co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, Gary Gygax, passed away. GM's Day, a "gamer holiday" that began as a single thread on EN World and which blossomed into an industry wide tradition, would forever after carry a double meaning as a day to commemorate the man who helped provide countless hours of entertainment to millions.
2008 D&D Products
January – Realms of War. An anthology of Forgotten Realms short stories with themes of war and conflict.
January – Red Dragon Codex. An illustrated novella for young adults and follow-up to A Practical Guide to Dragons.
January – War of the Lance, Volume 3: Dragons of Spring. The final licensed Dragonlance product from Margaret Weis Productions, updating the original Dragonlance adventures to the 3.5 rules, specifically Dragons of Dreams, Dragons of Faith, Dragons of Truth, and Dragons of Triumph. The book also introduced a new chapter between Dragons of Dreams and Dragons of Faith, entitled Dragons of Shadows, which replaces the war simulator module Dragons of Glory, taking the player characters out of the nightmare warped Silvanesti and into the Blood Sea of Istar.
January – Wizards Presents: Worlds and Monsters. The second 4th Edition preview product, providing an illustrated behind the scenes look at the development of 4th Edition. The book introduces the "Points of Light" concept for the default D&D 4E setting, a world with pockets of civilization struggling to survive in a hostile, monster-infested world. It also introduces the Feywild and the Shadowfell, light and dark reflections of the material world.
February – Blade of Flame, Volume 3: Sea of Death. An Eberron novel in which an ex-assassin must return to his old ways to stop a powerful lich.

Some inventive stylists with an insanely sweet tooth (or perhaps not, or they wouldn't have been left with the 50,000 sweets they needed) at new mag TWELV have created an incredible McQueen-inspired wedding dress entirely of gummy bears.
They made it by sticking each individual rainbow gummy bear on to a piece of vinyl sheeting, and the end result was so damn heavy (220lbs to be exact) that it took three people to lift it at the shoot… We don't pity the colt-legged model who they staggered over to drape it on (see, modelling really IS hard work!) — unless she got to nibble at it afterwards, of course.
It is the work of Issa Igarashi and Sayuri Marakumi. Guys, we are seriously impressed.
Now what did you do with the leftovers? Nom nom nom.

By Mark Hermeling
A few weeks ago I found myself in the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. My reason for being there was a seminar that Wind River was organizing together with Intel and AVNET specifically focussed on companies that build gaming. The main topics were graphics, manageability and of course, virtualization.
I am always eager to fold real-life examples into my presentations, hence I decided to try my luck at some of the slot machines in the Hard Rock Hotel under the disguise of 'domain study'. And I have to say, the state of slot machines has progressed significantly since the last time that I was in Vegas many years ago. The top of the line machines had multiple 30" inch displays with either static or moving imagery, they had player tracking, surround sound, some of them even had imagery over the rolls themselves.
Since this was a domain study, I started thinking what type of hardware would be running in these slot machines. Off the top of my head I could come up with the following sub-systems:
- Money collection: The part where you insert your dollar bills
- Money return: much less used, but important nonetheless
- The game: This is the part that is the most fun
- Machine management: The part that reports on whether the machine is doing okay, that connects money collection, return and the game to the central casino management
- Player tracking: where you slide your card and it keeps track of your preferences, and feeds your gambling habits back to the casino for perks. This is also where (in a more advanced scenario) you could order drinks, make reservations for restaurants and stuff.
Technically I could integrate all of these 5 different subsystems in a single multicore chip using embedded virtualization. Each subsystem would run it's own OS inside of a virtual machine. The OS may be a real-time OS, or a general purpose or graphics OS such as Windows. The game would be the biggest compute power user, so it would need a dedicated core, possibly 2. The other parts are much smaller and can probably all share (time slice) a single core. From a device assignment, most of the devices would all be partitioned between the different virtual machines, the one exception possible be graphics. The virtual machines would also need to communicate between each-other which is very easy to set up within the multicore environment.
Virtualization of the display is a fun topic. In principle it is not difficult, however, in this case there is a bit of added complexity with regards to the certification. It needs to be very clear to the user when he is gambling, versus when he is looking at player tracking, venue reservation or generic web-browsing and the data entered should never been able to be leaked into the other application. For instance, when the user needs to input credit card data for venue reservation, that should not be usable by the game or by the generic web browser, or very bad situations can develop.
The 'domain study' resulted of course in the casino making some money off me, but I had sufficient content to talk about in the seminar the next day.

America's Thanksgiving Parade includes Girl Scouts of Southeastern Michigan
America's Thanksgiving Parade happens in one day on Thursday, Nov. 22. But it is a celebration that takes all year to create and not only embraces yearly traditions but people from America's past, present and future including the Girl Scouts of Southeastern Michigan, which has a special place in this year's parade.
"We are so excited. This is our 100th anniversary and it is a huge, big fat deal," said Barb Sosin, director of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience for GSSM. Once the Girl Scouts were told that they would be included in this year's parade, members of the organization were invited to visit The Parade Company. "We had about 2,000 girls that day," Sosin said. "The cool thing was the girls got to help with the float and some of the pieces that they will be carrying in the parade. The Parade Company has been so much fun to work with. It's really been a positive experience."
Rebecca Turner agrees.
As the recipient of the GSSM's Young Woman of Distinction award, the Central Michigan University freshman has been given a full ride. Down the parade route she will go – waving from the top of the Girl Scout's birthday cake float.
"When they asked me if I wanted to be in the parade I knew immediately I wanted to do it," said the daughter of Sandy and Chris Turner of Clarkston and longtime member of the Girl Scouts. "I used to go to the parade every year with my mom, dad, youngest sister and older brother. Our favorite float was the Kmart clown and the horses, I always loved the horses. I have not seen our float but I'm sure it's amazing."
Surrounding the cake and dancing their way down Woodward Avenue's parade route will be 100 girls chosen through a contest that invited them to create a Girl Scout Badge for the future. "They were pretty futuristic, that's for sure," said Sosin.
Also invited to be part of the parade dance group were girls who earned their Girl Scout Silver and Girl Scout Gold awards. What better way to top off what is the highest honor one can achieve as a Girl Scout.
Members of the select group have been working diligently with a choreographer to perfect their routine. "I'm so excited for these girls," Sosin said. "Everybody loves a parade and to see 100 Girl Scouts is going to make it that much more special."
Serving as Grand Marshals for the 86th America's Thanksgiving Parade, which is the country's largest and longest-running parades, will be John D. Dingell and Debbie Dingell.
"The Dingells work tirelessly to advance our community and are role models to us all," said Tony Michaels, president and CEO of The Parade Company. "It is privilege to be able to honor them." Continued...
Those who attend the event, many of them carrying on longtime family traditions, will see a holiday production featuring marching bands including Chippewa Valley High School's Big Reds, Dakota's Cougars and the Warren Mott Marauder Music Machine, magnificent floats such as The Skillman Foundation contest-winning float by Robin Ryce of Warrendale Charter Academy in Detroit, Penske Racing driver and newly-crowned 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Brad Keselowski of Rochester Hills and an entourage of Olympians including: Alex Morgan, 2012 gold medalist member of the Women's National Soccer Team; swimmers Nathan Adrian (record holder and three-time Olympic medalist) and Allison Schmitt (six-time Olympic medalist). Miss Michigan Angela Venditti of Shelby Township, Grammy award-winning singer Ashanti along with Jason Earles, the actor and comedian known for his roles in Disney's "Hannah Montana" and "Kickin' It" will also be among the celebrities in attendance. And so will the jolly elf himself, Santa Claus.
"There's going to be a big party down Woodward Avenue on Thanksgiving morning and we are so proud to be part of it," Sosin said.
The 2-hour parade steps off at 9:05 a.m. at Mack and Woodward avenues in Detroit. It will be featured on WDIV-TV Local 4 including a 1-hour national broadcast. WJR-AM (760) talk radio will also broadcast live from the parade. For more information on the parade, routes and parking, visit The Parade Company website: www.theparade.org

More Male Nurses, But Wage Disparity Persists
"I wouldn't pin it on one thing," Landivar says. "You can look at education. You can look at work hours. You can look at industry. Women are more likely to be in elementary and secondary schools and less likely to be in hospitals," which tend to pay more.
Landivar says men are more likely to acquire professional or doctorate degrees and to gravitate towards higher-paying specialties. For example, only 1% of employed nurses in the United States are nurse anesthetists, yet 41% of them are men. The specialty pays, on average, $162,900.
While the census study does not look specifically at family demands as a factor in the pay disparities, Landivar says there are numerous studies that suggest that women with children are more likely to work fewer hours and don't have the schedule flexibility of their male colleagues.
The study also found that:
- There were 3.5 million employed nurses in 2011, about 3.2 million of whom were female and 330,000 male.
- Unemployment was lowest among nurse practitioners and nurse anesthetists—about 0.8% for both. For registered nurses and licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses unemployment was 1.8% and 4.3%, respectively.
- Of the employed nurses (both sexes), 78% were registered nurses, 19% were licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses, 3% were nurse practitioners, and 1% were nurse anesthetists.
- While 72% of registered nurses (both sexes) left home for work between 5 a.m. and noon, 19% worked the evening or night shifts.
- 64% of registered nurses (both sexes) worked in hospitals, and 30% of licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses worked in nursing care facilities or hospitals.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

Men are more likely to negotiate calary than women, often the first offer from an employer is accepted by women, but men are more likely to ask for for money.
claudia (3/5/2013 at 5:04 PM)
My experience in working with male nurses is that they are: 1) More likely to work overtime than female nurses 2) More likely to work full time than part time 3) More likely to work at a second nursing job 4) More likely to seek out career advancement opportunities Given these, when I see these studies showing male nurses earn more than female nurses, I always wonder if they are comparing apples to apples or apples to oranges. Sure, it is likely that 2 med surg nurses, one male and one female, with the same education and level of experience are earning the same rate, but is the number of hours worked the same?
Lois (3/4/2013 at 10:20 AM)
That is true John. There is something missing that they did not measure. Perhaps it was the type of job or position or seniority level.

Greg Gibson is Professor of Genetics at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, and of Integrative Biology at the University of Queensland, Australia. He is a leader in the new field of genomics, studying how interactions between genes and the environment affect human health and organismal evolution. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Basel, Switzerland, and did postdoctoral work at Stanford University. He is on the editorial boards of PLoS Genetics, Current Biology, Genetics, and other leading journals, and with Spencer V. Muse, coauthored A Primer of Genome Science, one of the field's leading textbooks, now in its third edition.
Human beings have astonishing genetic vulnerabilities. More than half of us will die from complex diseases that trace directly to those vulnerabilities, and the modern world we've created places us at unprecedented risk from them. In It Takes a Genome, Greg Gibson posits a revolutionary new hypothesis: Our genome is out of equilibrium, both with itself and its environment. Simply put, our genes aren't coping well with modern culture. Our bodies were never designed to subsist on fat and sugary foods; our immune systems weren't designed for today's clean, bland environments; our minds weren't designed to process hard-edged, artificial electronic inputs from dawn 'til midnight. And that's why so many of us suffer from chronic diseases that barely touched our ancestors.
Gibson begins by revealing the stunningly complex ways in which multiple genes cooperate and interact to shape our bodies and influence our behaviors. Then, drawing on the very latest science, he explains the genetic "mismatches" that increasingly lead to cancer, diabetes, inflammatory and infectious diseases, AIDS, depression, and senility. He concludes with a look at the probable genetic variations in human psychology, sharing the evidence that traits like introversion and agreeableness are grounded in equally complex genetic interactions.
It Takes A Genome demolishes yesterday's stale debates over "nature vs. nurture," introducing a new view that is far more intriguing, and far closer to the truth.

Analyst says Mariners will take a bat in Monday's draft
Date: Sun June 3, 2012 Show: Seattle Mariners Jason Churchill of Prospect Insider joins the postgame show to discuss the Mariners' possibilities in Monday's amateur draft. Churchill says the Mariners will draft either Florida catcher Mike Zunino or shortstop Carlos Correa out of Puerto Rico with the third overall pick. While Zunino projects as the best college hitter and likely the most major-league ready prospect, Churchill says Correa might be the best overall player in the draft. Though it is uncertain who the M's will take, Churchill says one thing is sure: they will draft a bat.

Americans bemused by Irish governance in Indo's Wikileaks exposé

Reading the Irish Independent's coverage of the diplomatic cables it received from notorious whistleblowing website Wikileaks over the past few days, you'be be forgiven for forming the impression that the Irish government was being run by a bunch of amateurs.
The overall picture that emerges from the leaks on the whole can probably be summarized as a group of bemused but seemingly very clued-in American diplomats wondering just what was going on across Dublin in Leinster House, why those with the information about the impending economic bust close to hand weren't divulging it to the Irish public, and most pointedly why nobody at the Department of Finance had seemingly formulated a plan for recovery.
Former Ambassador Thomas Foley emerges of course as the protagonist of the show, while the sub-diplomats and councillors that join him at high-level meetings also seem to share in his disbelief and disquiet at what they seem to have correctly foreseen as an economic disaster in the making.

U.S. Ambassador believed 'Biffo" was correct name for Brian Cowen
Former Finance Minister Brian Lenihan's "turned a corner" speech, in which he claimed - without reason - that the economy had turned a corner, when in fact only the bailout was in store, seems to have come as a particular shock to the diplomats, while the lack of a clear plan as to what to do if a bailout was necessary, and almost total paralysis at the Department of Finance in this regard, were also concepts of Irish misgovernance which seemed alien and incomprehensible to the Americans.
The most worrying thing about the leaks, though, is that the American diplomats seemed to have had a much more realistic of where Ireland was heading, and of what was going on behind closed doors, than the government itself did.
Lenihan's turned a corner speech was instantly spotted as being the stuff of make-believe, while other aspects of the country's finances -- even the provision of near-free education at third level -- came under scrutiny and shown to be incompatible with what Ireland was trying to achieve financially.
The Americans knew that the value of the 'toxic' loans being transferred to NAMA wasn't what the government was claiming it was, and had realized that the State would have to have recourse to an EU/IMF bailout deal even when it was maintaining its charade that it wouldn't be necessary.
If Ahern and Cowen had managed to pull the wool over anybody's eyes with what was truly going on, it certainly wasn't the American diplomats.

Its funny how excessive financing of American Corporations in Ireland with huge amounts subsidies never caused the crash.

The American economists saw the inevitable bubble created by the overvaluation of the housing market. They knew it could collapse at anytime. I think the difference here is that the banks had to pay back their bailout. I don't think that's what happened in Ireland - I could be wrong about that.

As IF the Americans had a clue - rofl. They didn't see their crash coming with ALL their hoopla about being "The Best" - or maybe they did, and just let it happen because they hadn't a clue how to stop it. It's time they mind their own business and concentrate on fixing their own economy - IF they know HOW!!

Did You Trade Dine In For Takeout After Having Children?
by POPSUGAR Moms 2
Couples may enjoy white tablecloths and candlelight before baby, but after becoming parents hearing that there's an hour-long wait at a hot eatery isn't as enticing. Getting food to go allows mom and dad the chance to eat their favorite entrees without any of the worry of entertaining their tots during the experience or public mid meal meltdowns. Once you had children did you table your reservations and turn to takeout more often?

It depends on what day of the week it is. If we're feeling lazy during the week, we get a take away as we don't get home until 6 (me) and 7 (husband) and our daughter goes to bed at 7.30.
On the weekends, we like to go out to eat. Like Eat Your Greens says, I think it's one reason our daughter is so well behaved and likes such a variety of foods. She's 13 months old and loves to sit at the table and try new things.
We take our 2 1/2 year toddler out to eat all the time. I think she's so well behaved in restaurants because we do it so often that she knows how to behave and what to expect. She loves trying new food and knows that she'll get to have some sort of 'fun drink' like cranberry juice right away.
She went to her first restaurant when she was 2 weeks old, so it's just what we do. I love eating out with her and exposing her to new food. At 12 months she was eating thai food, indian food, california rolls etc..

Several days ago I was reading about unique holiday traditions and I came across the Austrian tradition of Krampus. After reading up about this little know event, I have become more and more intrigued. It is a little bit Christmas and a little bit Halloween, combined together in one odd collaboration.
So why is statica.com mentioning this… because of the complexities of the costumes. There is a raw art to the creation of these masks and costumes. These may be scary and frightening, but they are also excellent examples of mask making. The shop located at: http://www.krampusshop.at/ has a very unique assortment of costumes.
This world is a very interesting place and the further you dive into the depths, the more you start to realize the imaginative nature of humanity. We are people of tradition, of history, of legend. The artwork from one part of the world may not translate to other parts of the world, but to respect all art from across the globe is a necessity as an artist.
I may never see a Krampus costume up close, but I can live vicariously through a series of photos. Maybe one day Memphis will have someone bold enough to purchase one of these costumes so I can see it first-hand. Maybe.
Krampus is a mythical creature recognized in alpine countries. According to legend, Krampus accompanies St. Nicholas during the Christmas season, warning and punishing bad children, in contrast to St. Nicholas, who gives gifts to good children.
In the Alpine regions, Krampus is represented by a demon-like creature. Traditionally, young men dress up as the Krampus in Austria and southern Bavaria, especially the market town Berchtesgaden, during the first two weeks of December, particularly on the evening of 5 December, and roam the streets frightening children with rusty chains and bells.
