The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences finds itself in a bind. The
Spanish language film The Motorcycle Diaries is ineligible for this
year's foreign-language Academy Award, not because of the language, nor
because the film offends the sensitivities of Hollywood. Indeed, quite the
contrary. Executive producer Robert Redford's Motorcycle Diaries is
the story of the political awakening of young Ernesto Che Guevara, the most
salient 20th-century icon of the Left whose Jesus-like face peers at us from
countless posters and T-shirts around the world.
No, the problem for the Academy is not the subject matter of the film; it is
simply that the Academy has not kept up with "globalization." Academy rules
for the best foreign-language category require that a film be submitted by
the country in which it originated. Motorcycle Diaries, however, was
filmed in five different countries with international financial backing and
an international cast and crew, and is thus ineligible for consideration.
How Oscar's heart must break. The quality of the production alone should
certainly qualify the film for serious consideration for any cinematographic
award, while its content earns it honorable mention in the growing catalogue
of leftist Hollywood propaganda.
Motorcycle Diaries tells the story of a trip made in 1952 by the then
twenty-four year old Guevara and a friend, both middle class Argentine
students who set out on a motorcycle from Buenos Aires in the south all the
way to Caracas, Venezuela at the northern end of the continent. The
narrative voice is that of the young Guevara speaking from his diaries and
the letters home he wrote along the way. The film is a picaresque tale, the
escapades of loveable rascals who live by their wits while traveling in a
country characterized by hypocrisy, a genre in Western literature that has
popular characters from Henry Fielding's Tom Jones to Mark Twain's
Huckleberry Finn.
Guevara and his companion roam the vast expanse of South America, from the
Argentine pampas to the snows and fjord-like lakes of the Southern Andes,
then up the length of Chile through the Atacama Desert and the high Andes of
the old Inca Empire, ending on the great rivers of the Amazon Basin. The
magnificence of South America's landscape is matched in the film by the
people the travelers meet along the way, vividly and accurately presented in
their regional variety and diversity of human types. One sees the
desperation and nobility of poor miners on the bleak altiplano of the high
Andes; the patient, gentle descendents of the Inca masses in their
distinctive dress and speaking their soft native Quechua or in their halting
simple Spanish; and ordinary people, in this case medical personnel, who are
dedicated to their profession and to the people they serve.
All of this skilled cinematographic art is mobilized to relate Guevara's
ideological odyssey and to depict the purity of his motives and the inherent
nobility of his character. Guevara's role in Communism is played down
throughout. His introduction to Marxist ideology is limited to only two
scenes in which Guevara is shown absorbed in Jose Mariatequi's Seven
Essays on the Peruvian Reality, a book that ties all the evils of the
long and exploitative history of Peru, and by extension all of Latin
America, into one seamless testament according to the teachings of Karl
The film concludes with Guevara and his friend working as volunteers in a
leper colony deep in the Amazon jungle. The dramatic high point is reached
when Guevara defies convention, as well as his sometimes debilitating asthma
and the swift currents of a river, by swimming across to the other side to
spend his last night in the colony with the shunned lepers. "He's coming to
us!" says one patient when Guevara's features are discernible in the
darkness. Thus is the young Che, a man of immense empathy and courage,
willing to risk death in his commitment to the despised and downtrodden of
the world. Only at the end of the film does a brief text on a black screen
inform the audience that Guevara went on to become a physician and a
revolutionary and was murdered by the CIA in the Bolivian jungle.
"Murder" is indeed an appropriate term to use when discussing Ernesto
Guevara. Despite what Motorcycle Diaries would lead a naïve audience
to believe, Guevara was not the Christ-like Lamb of God offering himself as
a sacrifice for a suffering humanity. He was one of the many ruthless,
violent fanatics in the global wave of murders committed on a massive scale
during the 20th century in the name of Communism, a holocaust in which some
100 million people worldwide lost their lives. The real story of Ernesto
Guevara's place in history, and the deaths for which he was responsible, is
told by Cuban journalist Luis Ortega, who knew Guevara personally, in his
book Yo Soy El Che, by Daniel James in Che Guevara: A
Biography and by Armando M. Lago, author of the soon to be released
Cuba: The Human Cost of Social Revolutions.
Lago lists by name fourteen people personally murdered by Guevara while
fighting in the Sierra Madre as a part of Fidel Castro's 1956-57 guerilla
struggles to seize power in Cuba. Once in power, Guevara became one of the
central figures of Castro's dictatorship with 10 confirmed ordered
executions in Santa Clara in 1959 and another 156 at La Cabana Fortress
Prison. He was also responsible for several thousand more during the first
years of the revolution. Guevara was also responsible for those killed in
the guerrilla uprisings he sponsored in Latin America, and in which he
participated after he had left Cuba. No one knows how many people Guevara
personally killed, ordered killed, or who died as a result of his actions.
Lago believes the number for Cuba alone is 4,000.
It is said that Guevara was proud of shooting his enemies in the back of the
head. He was also vocal in his hatred, and candid in his use of hate as a
driving force. "Hatred is an element in the struggle," he said, "unbending
hatred for the enemy which pushes a human being beyond his natural
limitations…." "A people without hate cannot triumph against the adversary."
During the Cuban missile crisis Guevara pushed for war, since a nuclear
holocaust, he believed, would purge the world of evil and make way for the
rise of a new and better order.
Guevara's whole life as a revolutionary was not one of Christ-like selfless
sacrifice, and the distortion depicted in The Motorcycle Diaries, is
only another entry in the long gallery of leftist propaganda. Since Redford'
s film so clearly reflects the spirit of Hollywood, it is a shame, for them
at least, that the anachronistic rules of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts
and Sciences excludes this loving and dishonest homage to a Marxist icon
from consideration for Hollywood's highest honor.

Probability of Success
2009-10: Max Gardiner played for Minnetonka (MN) High School. In 23 games for the Skippers, Gardiner scored 22 goals and added 32 assists for 54 points on the season. He registered a +35 rating for the season. Gardiner was a finalist for the Mr. Hockey Award given to Minnesota's top high school hockey player. Brother of Anaheim Ducks prospect, Jake Gardiner.
2010-11: Gardiner made the jump directly from Minnesota HS hockey to the NCAA, appearing in 17 games for the University of Minnesota as an 18-year-old freshman. He scored 1 goal with 2 assists and was -3 with 24 PMs for the Gophers. Minnesota finished a disappointing fifth in the WCHA and missed the NCAA tournament after falling to Alaska-Anchorage in the first round of the WCHA playoffs.
2011-12: Gardiner returned to junior hockey after seeing limited time at the University of Minnesota as a freshman – skating for the USHL's Dubuque Fighting Saints. He scored 12 goals with 14 assists in 50 games and was minus-seven with 29 penalty minutes. The Fighting Saints finished third in the East Division and reached the second round of the playoffs. Gardiner was minus-three in five playoff games with 1 goal and 3 assists. He committed to playing college hockey at Penn State in 2012-13.
2012-13: Gardiner returned to college hockey – playing 23 games for Penn State as a sophomore. He scored 3 goals with 19 assists and was +5 with 22 penalty minutes. Playing an independent schedule that included a mix of NCAA and ACHA club programs, Penn State finished 13-14-0, capping its season winning 9 of its last 11 games — highlighted by an overtime win at Wisconsin in its final game. The Nittany Lions will be part of the new Big Ten conference in 2013-14.
Talent Analysis
Gardiner has offensive skill combined with a good compete level. He is more of a playmaker than a goal-scorer. It remains to be seen if his offensive game will advance at the pro level, but he has some potential as a power forward if he improves his overall strength.
Gardiner showed off his playmaking skills at the NCAA level in 2012-13. He had an impressive 22 points (three goals, 19 assists) in 27 games. If he continues to develop his two-way game and offensive abilities, Gardiner could be ready for an NHL tryout in the near future. For now, he will remain with the Penn State Nittany Lions at the NCAA level.

STL County approves preliminary Boeing incentive package
When the state of Missouri presents it's economic package to Boeing Tuesday, it'll include an extra tax incentive from St. Louis County.
Monday night, the County Council unanimously approved a preliminary package that could be worth as much as $1.8 billion if Boeing agrees to build the 777X commercial airliner near Lambert Airport. The specific form of the incentives will take has not yet been determined, but could include TIFs, or tax increment financing.
Both County Executive Charlie Dooley and St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay addressed the County Council last night in an effort to win the incentives. Both made the case that the number of jobs the plant would bring would mean a significant economic boost to the region. Production of the plane could bring as many as 8,000 new jobs to the St. Louis area.
With the county incentives and the tax breaks approved by state lawmakers last week, Missouri's bid to win the plant is worth nearly $3.5 billion over 20 years.
More than a dozen communities are vying for the new Boeing plant. The aerospace company is expected to make a decision in January 2014.
Key vote on McKee's NorthSide plan expected
A key Aldermanic committee is expected to vote Wednesday morning on tax incentives for Paul McKee's NorthSide Regeneration plan.
Passage of the updated $390 million TIF isn't assured, but the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that its chances are better after a hearing yesterday. U.S. Congressman Lacy Clay, Mayor Francis Slay, and other voiced strong support for the two square mile development north of downtown.
No vote was taken yesterday because half of the eight-member Housing, Urban Development and Zoning Committee was absent from the meeting. Five committee members must be present for a quorum.
The Aldermen missing from Tuesday's committee hearing were Terry Kennedy, who was attending a funeral. Sam Moore, who's recuperating from a bad car accident last week. Antonio French and Chris Carter, whose absence was unexplained. Neither could be reached for comment. Board President Lewis Reed could have filled in, but his staff told the paper that he was out of town.
If the committee approves the changes to the TIF, it will then go before the full Board of Aldermen, where it's chances of passage have improved.
Alderman Freeman Bosley Senior, whose ward makes up a large part of the project area, had opposed the project, but has apparently changed his mind. Bosley toured the project area with McKee last Wednesday and told the paper that after seeing McKee's plans, he doesn't know anyone who would oppose it.
STL Aldermen consider McKee's Northside TIF this week
A U.S. Congressman and the Mayor of St. Louis will both go before the Board of Aldermen this week in hopes of forwarding the long-stalled Northside Regeneration Project.
Aldermen are considering a bill that would tweak developer Paul McKee's nearly $400 million tax increment financing package to account for delays suffered while the city fought a lawsuit against it.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the fate of the project's TIF is unclear.
Congressman William Lacy Clay and St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay will speak in favor the 1,500 acre project. But only one of the five aldermen whose wards make up the project area just north of downtown, 5th Ward Alderwoman Tammika Hubbard, clearly supports Northside.
And one, Alderman Freeman Bosley Senior, has threatened to block the bill if there isn't more community input in the project and better protections for current homeowners.
"Major milestone" reached for Menards development in Hadley Township
City officials in Richmond Heights are calling it "a major milestone" in the redevelopment of the southern half of Hadley Township. The City Council on Monday evening approved a redevelopment agreement with Menard Inc.
The $63 million project includes $15 million in tax increment financing.
Once the site plan receives final city approval, the Wisconsin-based hardware retailer can set closing dates for 99 residential parcels it's buying east of Hanley Road.
"After many years of battling through unresponsive developers and the worst economy in many years, everyone's hard work is coming to fruition," Richmond Heights Mayor Jim Beck said. "The residents in the southern section of Hadley will be well set for the future. Richmond Heights will benefit from another great retailer."
Menard's plans to build a two-story, 224,000 square foot home improvement store on the land just north of Maplewood's Walmart complex, and additional retail space along Hanley Road.
Menards plan approved for Hadley Township
Residents in the southern part of Hadley Township may finally know the fate of their community.
The Richmond Heights City Council Tuesday night unanimously approved a plan for a $63 million Menards development. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the approval includes $15 million in tax increment financing for the redeveloper, Menard Inc., to cover some development costs.
The paper reports that by the end of the year, the developers plan to notify property owners of closing dates on their sale contracts.
The new retail development will be east of Hanley Road, between of Maplewood's Walmart development and I-64/40.
McKee's NorthSide plan under fire at TIF hearing
Developer Paul McKee's NorthSide Regeneration Project remains up in the air. The St. Louis TIF Commission delayed a vote yesterday on changes to the $390 million dollar TIF plan after residents demand more information.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that residents of the near-northside neighborhood spent nearly two hours criticizing McKee for failing to include them in his plans, and at least one key alderman threatened to block the project unless neighborhood concerns are addressed.
McKee says he's held more than 140 community meetings since unveiling plan four years ago.
New public TIF hearing on massive NorthSide project set for Wednesday
After three years of lawsuits, developer Paul McKee is hoping to restart his stalled NorthSide Regeneration Project.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the city's Tax Increment Finance Commission will hold a public hearing Wednesday on McKee's request for some changes to the $390 million TIF package that the Board of Aldermen had approved for for the project four years ago.
A spokesman for the project says they need officials to restart the clock the 1,500 acre redevelopment.
The public hearing also gives residents another chance to chime in.
McKee says if he wins the TIF changes, ground could be broken next spring on the 2 square mile development site north of downtown.
Supreme Court rules in favor of Paul McKee in TIF case
ST. LOUIS (AP) - The Missouri Supreme Court has ruled in favor of a massive project using tax increment financing to redevelop an impoverished area of St. Louis.
A trial court more than two years ago threw out $390 million in TIF funding for developer Paul McKee's NorthSide Regeneration project. An appeals court sided with the trial court.
But the Missouri Supreme Court in a unanimous ruling Tuesday reversed the part of the ruling that voided a city ordinance, allowing the project to move forward.
An attorney for residents who sought to stop TIF funding calls the ruling disappointing. But McKee's attorney says it is a big day for St. Louis.
The $8 billion development is expected to eventually include 10,000 homes, office and retail space in a two-square-mile area north of downtown.
Ellisville commission votes to dismiss complaint against mayor
Mayor Paul has been at odds with several City Council members over a Walmart TIF project that he had opposed. Discussion over the TIF has led to several contentious council meetings, including the meeting in which Paul had tried to have a disruptive resident removed.
Last night's commission meeting wasn't without it's own drama. At one point, Mayor Paul's attorney, Lynette Petruska was removed from the meeting for allegedly disruptive behavior.
Still, the three-member commission sided with Paul. But it might not end there. The City Council could still vote to pursue the matter at Wednesday's meeting.

Hoosier soybean veteran is picked for 3-year USB term
By MATTHEW D. ERNST
Missouri Correspondent
ST. LOUIS, Mo. — Mark A. Seib, a veteran soybean producer and leader from southwestern Indiana, started his three-year term as a United Soybean Board (USB) director at its annual meeting Dec. 6-7.
"They asked me to consider coming back into soybean leadership," said Seib. The Posey County farmer served as the first president of the Indiana Soybean Alliance (ISA) when the group formed in 2006, and he had state soybean leadership roles through 2010.
"I'd had a couple years off from the travel and other responsibilities of leadership and decided it was time to serve again." He said he will continue his work on behalf of Indiana soybean growers as a national USB director.
"While I was involved in state soybean groups, I saw the opportunities that are there at the USB," he said. "Half of the Indiana soybean checkoff goes to the USB, and the USB then funds projects that can come back to benefit Indiana farmers. Now I have the opportunity to represent Indiana in the national board."
He was nominated for the post by the ISA, when the group submitted his name to USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack, earlier this year. Seib will join three northern Indiana farmers on the USB board: Michael Beard of Frankfort, Roger Hadley II of Woodburn and James Shriver of Montpelier.
Seib anticipates the USB to advocate newer markets for soybean meal, especially aquaculture, as well as continue the group's push for biofuel. But he and other soy leaders are quick to emphasize the importance of livestock to the U.S. soy industry.
"The livestock industry is our biggest soybean user," said Seib, "and we don't want to price the soybean out of the feed industry." Poultry and livestock farmers used soy meal from about 1.2 billion bushels of U.S. soybeans in 2011, according to a recent study funded by the USB.
Seib and his wife, Sheryl, raise 3,000 acres of corn and soybeans with his brother, Wayne, and father, Alfred, at their Poseyville-area operation. Half of their 1,500 soybean acres are double-cropped with wheat.
"We're about as far south and west as you can go in Indiana, and are fortunate to be able to double-crop a lot of our soybeans," he said.
Seib first grew soybeans as a Posey County 4-H member. He earned an associate degree in agriculture from Purdue University in 1977 and has since farmed with his family. In addition to his state-level soybean industry leadership, he has served as president of the Posey County Farm Bureau and has sat on county planning and zoning boards.
Sheryl now serves as president of Posey County Farm Bureau, the first woman elected to that position. The Seibs have two adult daughters and three grandchildren.

Certainly we are on the edge of "D" day as this article is published, the D indicating the opening of both deer and duck seasons. Much time and expense has already been put forth just getting ready for these annual events. On the Friday before the deer season opener, our local major highways are packed to the gills with vehicles either carrying ATVs or pulling trailers with ATVs aboard. The deer hunters, being confident folks, will also be taking plenty of. The caravan reminds one of mass evacuation that we have witnessed before, except on a smaller scale.
The central zone dove season is already closed until Dec. 23 and the south zone is closing Oct. 30 until Dec. 23, but with duck, goose, and deer seasons opening Nov. 5, hunters are all smiles. And saltwater fishing on the inland lakes and bays could hardly be better. The speckled trout, redfish, croaker, sand trout and flounder are showing up in many coolers.
During the times of the year where the prevailing winds are southeast with some due south and southwest thrown in, the marshes hold plenty of water. The past couple years the salt content, even back in the marshes, has been higher than normal. Many species of saltwater fish have been caught by anglers who were fishing for up into the rivers. Both the Neches River and the Sabine River have yielded some excellent catches of speckled trout, redfish, flounder, croaker and sand trout.

Climate change and its impacts are one of the most important challenges for the future of mankind. It is a global phenomenon and its impacts will be felt locally—in cities, towns, and other human settlements in the rural areas. The impacts are manifold, ranging from longer and more intensive drought periods, heavier rainfalls and an increased variability of precipitations, inland flooding and sea level rise, more and more intensive tropical cyclones, water scarcity among others (refer to the literature on cities and climate change). In general, poor people will be more affected. In the era of rapid urbanization, mainly in developing countries, cities are more at risk, as climate change impacts add to and reinforce existing environmental, economic and social problems.
An expert group meeting (EGM) convened by UN-HABITAT has been organized whose main goals will be to:
The expected outcomes of the EGM will be:
Invited participants for the meeting will include approximately 50 researchers on mitigation and adaptation to climate change at the local level, representatives of cities already suffering from climate change related problems, representatives of UN and other international organizations and networks.

I can't put my finger on exactly why, but GBK just isn't that satisfying.
I ordered a mess of a burger (the cheese & bacon) with chunky fries and two sauces - garlic mayo and smoked chili mayo, and yet I found myself underwhelmed. For starters, let's not kid ourselves - "crispy" bacon this was not. Second, the burger itself was quite small and lost in the sea of ingredients. Some tasty, some...more

When there was no deal by mid August, the writing was on the wall for at least a month of the regular season being gone. Now I would be surprised if I saw NHL hockey before Thanksgiviving, or even Christmas.
They should just go 50/50 on revenue, it's about the best for everyone. Then set the salary cap floor lower than expected so the broke ass teams can still pay pennies compared to the big boys. Then we go back to the good old days of having some teams being powerhouses while others are just there to participate, and maybe the franchise gets better in the future. |

I'm not old, honest...
They should just play for an acceptable salary and let the owners make what they make. After all, that's how every other business except sports works.
I have zero sympathy for these players with the money they make.

No power to 7 pin trailer connector
Hello, I have 1999 Chevy 2500, with a 6.0 liter engine. It came with a factory towing package. This year I have no power to the trailer connector. I haven't hauled anything in two years. I have tested the wires along the frame up until the reach the cab of the truck and have no power. I also found a ground wire that was rusted up pretty bad on the frame. I grinded the rust off, and made sure it was getting good connection, but still nothing. Any help is greatly appreciated.

With it being Memorial Day weekend in the United States, you may get faster answers by finding existing threads on the topic and reading through them, as people are out and about doing what they do on this particular long weekend that falls early in spring.
05-25-2013, 11:05 AM #4Let's see. This is a '99 truck that he's been pulling a trailer with in the past, so voltage has been there before. So, since the wiring has been checked, here's a list of the relays and fuses involved with the TRL wiring:
In the CENTER INSTRUMENT PANEL UTILITY BLOCK, check the trailer brake wiring relay (top row, 2nd from the left).
In the UNDERHOOD ELECTRICAL CENTER (fuse box), check the fuses for STUD #1 (trailer wiring feed; the most likely suspect), STUD #2 (trailer wiring brake feed), TRL R TURN, TRL L TURN, and TRL B/U.
When it's an electrical problem, check EVERYTHING related. A wire could be hooked up wrong.
Here's the Owner's Manual:
Good luck.

05-25-2013, 11:51 AM #5This is the way it goes most times with this issue.
trailer has not been used over the winter. rats etc chew up the wiring. then the owner hooks up trailer then the shorted chewed up wiring shorts out the power threw trailer harness.
I would check all fuses but first check that the trailer wiring is secure and not shorted out.

I have already checked all of the fuses, they are all good. I am getting power to all the fuses. The trailer lights do work, I connected the trailer to a different truck and they all worked. I will check for the wire by the fuse box. Thanks for the suggestions.
05-26-2013, 12:21 AM #7Another thing to consider is the fact that the 7-spade connector is just an interface to a plug that's on the back-side of it. You might disconnect the plug from the back of the 7-spade connector and make sure the contacts are clean on both sides of the 7-spade connector AND on the plug that you disconnected from it. (Apply contact cleaner if unsure.)
Such items at the aft end of the truck tend to get dirty over time. It could be as simple as cleaning the contacts...

I did find a blue wire with a fusible link in the same bundle of wires that runs down with the wires that go to my connector. Would that be it? I don't know much about wiring. I have power between the link and the fuse box but nothing after that.
05-28-2013, 09:35 AM #9the fuse able link is a wire fuse. when good it is a solid electrical conductor. when current flow is excessive it will melt open. check first why it has blown. something caused this.
after finding the cause [most likely defective trailer wiring] replace with a regular fuse / socket kit. this way if it blows again you can replace the fuse quickly and cheaper.
you will need to make the fuse waterproof when its all corrected. tape up this with some electrical tape...

Terminal and nonterminal symbols
In computer science, terminal and nonterminal symbols are the lexical elements used in specifying the production rules constituting a formal grammar. Terminal symbols are the elementary symbols of the language defined by a formal grammar. Nonterminal symbols (or syntactic variables) are replaced by groups of terminal symbols according to the production rules.
The terminals and nonterminals of a particular grammar are two disjoint sets.
Terminal symbols[edit]
Terminal symbols are literal symbols which may appear in the inputs to or outputs from the production rules of a formal grammar and which cannot be changed using the rules of the grammar (this is the reason for the name "terminal").
For concreteness, consider a grammar defined by two rules:
- x can become xa
- x can become a
Here a is a terminal symbol because no rule exists which would change it in to something else. (On the other hand, x has two rules that can change it, thus it is nonterminal.) A formal language defined (or generated) by a particular grammar is the set of strings that can be produced by the grammar and that consist only of terminal symbols.
Nonterminal symbols[edit]
Nonterminal symbols are those symbols which can be replaced. They may also be called simply syntactic variables. A formal grammar includes a start symbol, a designated member of the set of nonterminals from which all the strings in the language may be derived by successive applications of the production rules. In fact, the language defined by a grammar is precisely the set of terminal strings that can be so derived.
Context-free grammars are those grammars in which the left-hand side of each production rule consists of only a single nonterminal symbol. This restriction is non-trivial; not all languages can be generated by context-free grammars. Those that can are called context-free languages. These are exactly the languages that can be recognized by a non-deterministic push down automaton. Context-free languages are the theoretical basis for the syntax of most programming languages.
Production rules[edit]
A grammar is defined by production rules (or just 'productions') that specify which symbols may replace which other symbols; these rules may be used to generate strings, or to parse them. Each such rule has a head, or left-hand side, which consists of the string that may be replaced, and a body, or right-hand side, which consists of a string that may replace it. Rules are often written in the form head → body; e.g., the rule z0 → z1 specifies that z0 can be replaced by z1.
In the classic formalization of generative grammars first proposed by Noam Chomsky in the 1950s,[1][2] a grammar G consists of the following components:
- A finite set of nonterminal symbols.
- A finite set of terminal symbols that is disjoint from .
- A finite set of production rules, each rule of the form
- where is the Kleene star operator and denotes set union, so represents zero or more symbols, and means one nonterminal symbol. That is, each production rule maps from one string of symbols to another, where the first string contains at least one nonterminal symbol. In the case that the body consists solely of the empty string—i.e., that it contains no symbols at all—it may be denoted with a special notation (often , or ) in order to avoid confusion.
- A distinguished symbol that is the start symbol.
A grammar is formally defined as the ordered quadruple . Such a formal grammar is often called a rewriting system or a phrase structure grammar in the literature.[3][4]
For instance, the following represents an integer (which may be signed) expressed in a variant of Backus–Naur form:
<integer> ::= ['-'] <digit> {<digit>} <digit> ::= '0' | '1' | '2' | '3' | '4' | '5' | '6' | '7' | '8' | '9'
In this example, the symbols (-,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) are terminal symbols and <digit> and <integer> are nonterminal symbols.
Note: Strings with leading zeroes like "0056" or "0000" will be also in that language.

In my previous post I discussed the elemental balancing ritual and explained how I'd moved from a traditional elemental model to a non-traditional approach to elements. With this post I'd like to share my work with the element of Movement as mediated by Eros.
I always get an idea of which element I'll be working with next about halfway through the year of the prior elemental working. In the case of movement, what told me it would be the next element was how I came across several references to movement in relationship to identity. Since I am continuing my work with identity as a principle of magic, I knew it was essential to explore movement in relationship to magic.
I've also been reading a lot of R. J. Stewart's work and in one of his works he discusses the relationship that Eros has to movement, and how movement is a primal force of the universe. Reading that struck me and I felt a strong sense of connection with Eros. I did a ritual to him, asking him if he was the entity that could mediate the element of movement for me and he indicated he could but I would need to get a statue of him if I was to work with him. I got the status shortly before the transition from the element of Fire to the element of Movement.

Is it Mild Cognitive Impairment or Alzheimer's?
Posted By Candy Sagon On February 8, 2012 @ 8:00 am In Bulletin Today,Personal Health | Comments Disabled
[1]More than 90 percent of older adults diagnosed with mild Alzheimer's [2]would be re-diagnosed as having the less serious condition of mild cognitive impairment, according to a study [3]that looks at newly revised diagnosis criteria.
The new criteria [4] for diagnosing mild Alzheimer's were issued last year by experts with the National Institute on Aging and the Alzheimer's Association.
John C. Morris, M.D., director of the Knight Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at Washington University in St. Louis, decided to look at how the new criteria would affect those diagnosed under the older criteria.
He studied the neurological evaluations of 17,535 adults — average age about 75 — who were diagnosed as having normal cognition, mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease.
He found that that 99.8% of the people currently diagnosed with very mild Alzheimer's disease and 92.7% of people currently diagnosed with mild Alzheimer's disease could be reclassified as having mild cognitive impairment under the new guidelines.
So what difference does a new diagnosis make?
A lot, Morris contends.
Without the new criteria, there is too much overlap between people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), who are simply having trouble performing some daily tasks, and those with early stage Alzheimer's with mild dementia. Deciding whether a person is diagnosed with MCI or Alzheimer's is often "artificial and arbitrary," Morris writes in the current issue of the journal Archives of Neurology.
The result has been that people with MCI are unnecessarily prescribed drugs that are more appropriate for people with Alzheimer's because doctors "often do not distinguish the two conditions when faced with issues of medical management," Morris says.
The new criteria, writes Morris, allows for better patient care and a better way for doctors to categorize mild cognitive problems from early-stage Alzheimer's.
In other health news:
Smokers have more teeth problems, but go to dentist less frequently. [5]A new federal survey finds that more than a third of smokers have three or more dental problems, ranging from stained teeth to jaw pain, toothaches or infected gums — more than twice as much as people who never smoked. But 20 percent of smokers haven't gone to a dentist in five years. Why not? Half of the smokers said they couldn't afford it.
Heart-healthy food advice can be confusing [6]. Trying to eat a heart-healthy diet can be confusing — the advice seems to change day-to-day. Nuts are good, oats are good, but what about eggs? The Washington Post takes a look at the solid evidence behind which foods are best for your ticker.
New Weight Watchers Points Plus program not scoring points with some dieters. [7]Since Weight Watchers announced its new Points Plus plan, allowing for more fresh fruit, dieters have been having a harder time losing weight. So now WW is revising things.

- Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the onions for 10 mins, until starting to turn golden. Stir in the aubergines, then fry 5 mins more to soften them.
- Pour in the passata and wine, then stir in the capers, sugar, 1 tsp salt and some black pepper. Cover and cook for 20 mins.
- Meanwhile, spoon 250g mascarpone into a bowl with the milk, pesto and eggs, and beat until smooth.
- Halve each salmon fillet to make 2 long pieces. Spread 1 tbsp of the remaining mascarpone over each pasta sheet, add a piece of salmon, then season and roll up.
- Wash and wilt the spinach in a large pan (you don't need to add oil), then squeeze as much liquid as you can from it – this is important as otherwise the pasta bake will be too wet.
- Spread the spinach on the base of a large lasagne dish or roasting tin, measuring approx 27 x 35cm. Arrange the salmon and lasagne parcels on the spinach, then pour over the tomato and aubergine sauce. Now carefully pour over the pesto and mascarpone layer. If freezing, cover the surface of the lasagne with cling film, then overwrap the dish with cling film and foil. To defrost, thaw overnight in the fridge.
- To cook and serve, heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5, scatter the Parmesan over the mascarpone and bake for 40 mins until bubbling. Allow to settle in the dish for 5-10 mins before serving scattered with basil leaves.

Ok, I've actually made this now! It was tasty enough and friends enjoyed it, but I found the large chunks of salmon wrapped in the pasta were quite dry after a few mouthfuls and there was not enough sauce to counter this. On paper it sounds wonderful but there was something not quite right about it and I can't imagine going to the effort and expense of making it again. In conclusion, I don't think it's worth the calories and fat I bemoaned in a previous comment!

AS WE report in this week's print edition, the X Prize Foundation has just announced a new challenge: to sequence the genomes of 100 centenarians in 30 days for less than $1,000 each. Earlier in October, meanwhile, the winners of another of the foundation's competitions were announced. That X Challenge was prompted by the devastating Deepwater Horizon oil spill in summer 2010 and supported by assorted environmental groups, educational institutions, and corporations like Cisco, and even the oil giant Shell. The task was suck up 2,500 gallons per minute, double the rate of the fastest clean-up on record. To make things trickier, each greasy gallon extracted had to contain at least 70% oil.
The challenge, launched as the oil was still gushing from the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, initially attracted 37 teams from around the world. Of those, ten were chosen to participate in the competition, and subsequently to test their devices at the Ohmsett National Oil Spill Response Research and Renewable Energy Test Facility, in New Jersey, where the earlier benchmarks were set. The winning team, representing Elastec?American Marine, an Illinois-based maker of oil-spill-recovery kit, clocked a snappy 4,670 gallons per minute. It also managed to exceed the recovery-ratio bar, extracting almost 90% of the oil. They were awarded $1m for their effort. The runners up, Nofi, another specialist outfit, also managed to meet the criteria and got a consolation prize of $300,000.
Elastec/American Marine's winning design was a modified version of the company's commercially successful spinning drum, which is coated with an oil-attracting substance that picks up the slime as the contraption rolls on the water's surface and is then scraped to recover the oil. This time, though, instead of using the drum, the Elastec/American team, led by Don Johnson, created a disk enhanced with grooves to increase the device's effective surface area, and also to act as capillaries, sucking up more liquid. Mr Johnson said that the company had been thinking about tweaking their earlier design for some time. But it was the X Challenge that provided the incentive to explore the idea in earnest.
There is, of course, no single best method to clean up an oil spill. Ocean currents, accessibility and weather conspire to create different sets of circumstances which call for different approaches. So do regulations, both about conducting off-shore drilling and cleaning up any resulting mess. Grappling with nature may yet prove easier than navigating the corridors of Congress.

I think this is a great way to get people involved in solving our many environmental problems. The oil spill of 2010 was devastating and this competition allowed for some kind of better solution. It's the perfect example of technical ingenuity and competition at its best. It's great to have people come up with revolutionizing technologies that help solve some of our many environmental issues, and it gives me hope that we can start to tackle more issues. It is also good for business when they come up with these new technologies and put them in the green market.
I think this is technical ingenuity and competition at its best. Problems like the Oil Spill in 2010 and how to clean it up is important in protecting our environment. This competition was a great way to raise awareness and get people from all over the world to come up with technologies and ideas to solve this problem. It seems like it was very successful which gives me hope for solving future environmental issues. It is also good ofr business because these teams and companies are created these new technologies that an revolutionize the green market.
I think this challenge is an excellent way to promote cleaner practices of oil production. The fact that a company could pull up 4,670 gallons per minute and still get a whopping 90% of the oil there is a great effort. These companies who participated are showing a manageable way for oil producers to be more careful and not pollute the environment. I'm sure the $1 million was a good incentive as well for the first prize winner.
This is a great idea to encourage companies and people around the world to try to create a new technology that actually does good for this world. Not a new fancy phone or TV, but a device (system) that can save the environment and species of animals when an oil spill occurs. The money they win will go towards better technology to keep improving the methods they currently use. With governments seeing this new technology, they might be more prone to allow offshore drilling off the coast of Virginia. This was halted when the oil spill happened in 2010.
It's great that incentives are being offered to find solutions to problems like oil spills. Without the x challenge, this improved oil recovery would never have been discovered. Hearing that the winning team planned on tweaking the design later is also good news but with that million dollars, the design sped up. I remember watching the machine built by Elastec and seeing how the disks work. They look like giant plates with hundreds of small groves built in that scoop up the top layer oil. What improved on their design was that instead of just having groves on the outside of a drum-like wheel, there were multiple smaller wheels with groves on both sides which allowed for a much larger surface area. This larger surface area allowed for more oil to be extracted simultaneously.
This all would have been very helpful for the BP oil spill in 2010. At least now for future oil spills we have a variety of methods for cleaning up so that each situation can be best handled. This will save millions of dollars and greatly reduce the harmful effects on the environment. Whoever thought of this program deserves a great reward and more money to fund more programs like this. Programs like this could be used to find better solutions for many problems other than just oil spills such as wildfires.
First, I cannot say enough about the X Challenges that support human growth and technology. The committee enables everyday people to do something worth wile and be rewarded for it. There are now 7 billion people on this planet and I bet there are people out there who have world changing ideas, but nobody who would listen. Next, this is ingenious. The idea of having disks to pick up masses of oil at such a rate seems to be effective and fairly cheap. The design also appears to be fairly easy to set up which is important. The disks can prevent oil spills from spreading fast reducing on-shore damage.
This was a great idea to bring these guys in and have them compete. In my opinion, it's the best way to get a job done. When a prize is on the line, they will really try their best to fix the problem. A very cool thing to do.
I think we need more things like the X Prize to foster development in technologies that would otherwise not be looked into.
I think the oil spill is highly devastate the environment,it put another strain on ecosystem balance.Oil originally is blood of the earth,which should be treat as human body not only need to be despoil,because reckless and endless withdraw its essential substance would finally be punish by the nature power.Many catastrophic disasters is the most powerful proofs of human misconducting behaviors.Like earthquake,tsunami,debris flowing.
The most urgent thing we should do is hasten the process and pour more dollar into supporting research on exploiting alternative energy.
I think this is a fantastic idea. They need to get these systems faster and cleaner so we can fix oil spills before they have a serious affect on the environment. The oil spill that occurred in 2010 should have been a wake up call for everyone that these things can happen really easily and be extremely bad for the environment.
This is a very interesting way to entice people to restart research about this. It is always better to have this equipment before it's needed than to need it and not have it. The oil spills that have happened in the past have been catastrophic to the environment, and this will be very helpful when there is another oil spill. Even though I am not a die-hard environmentalist, I still am glad that we are making progress to help this issue.
These are fantastic ideas to spur realistic, workable answers to real global problems. If these kinds of incentives were used by governments more often, I can only imagine the huge flood of new technologies that will come onto the market. Great ideas are everywhere, huge sums of money are not.
This type of progressive thinking coupled with incentives can make real change. Companies don't want to shell out exorbitant amounts of money on disaster control, but an added monetary benefit might change there mind. Unfortunately this doesn't strike the root of the problem. We should be more focused on disaster prevention but this definitely a good start. I wouldn't be surprised if this starts happening more often.
Congratulations to Elastec/American Marine. This novel technology was invented at UC Santa Barbara by a graduate student working on a Ph.D. thesis. Elastec took this idea and turned it into a superb product.
This marketing style and approach is definitely a win-win situation for companies. In a competition set, its highly likely that the company keeps the design and the designers get the grand prize. Effectively this does a few things: allows the company to outsource the job and promotes project innovations. By making the spec vague, but with some minimal requirements it opens up the possibilities of drastic design differences. I believe more issues in general would get resolved with this tactic in mind.
I think this was a great way to clean up the environment. They should definitely come up with more ways to get more people to care about the environment because this was an easy way to make extra money and also save the world we live in.
This was a creative way to get research done while also working productively. Companies will always want to work hard to promote their brand, especially if their is an incentive for them. Oil spills have been a big problem recently and these efforts to clean up has been a positive thing. In the future hopefully our oil companies will be able to create technology that will clean up oil spills faster and prevent oil spills altogether. Oil spills need to be prevented because they harm the environment.
