Motorcyclists decry proposal to regulate exhaust systems
Most after-market pipes not EPA-certified
HARTFORD -- An unexpected effort in the General Assembly to crack down on noisy motorcycles is being met by opposition from the motorcycle industry.
Under language added last week to a bill involving off-road ATVs, the sale, registration or operation of a street motorcycle having most after-market exhaust pipes would become a fineable offense.

The article is correct to report that most (>95%) after market motorcycle exhaust systems today are non-EPA compliant, but that can be changed.
The bikers complain that if California's law is enforced, that they will not be able to "customize" their bikes. That is false. They will only be required to use EPA compliant exhaust systems. To do otherwise is, and has always been, a violation of federal. Now it will be a violation of California state law as well, as it should have been all along and should be in every state of the union, but applied to all post 1982 motorcycles, not just post 2012 motorcycles as with California's motorcycle lobby compromised version.
The bikers will still be able to customize their bikes with customized paint jobs, chrome plated do-dads, and even by hanging raccoon tails or tassels from their handle bars. But no baseball cards or balloons touching the spokes of their wheels, for that would increase the total noise emissions of their federally noise regulated vehicle. I suppose they would cry about that too. Let em' cry, but keep them in compliance with the law.
They claim they won't be able buy EPA compliant exhaust systems. That's no excuse. All they have to do is leave their factory installed exhaust systems alone. In the relatively rare case where they have to replace a damaged or worn out muffler, they can obtain replacements from their original manufacture or from after market manufactures that offer quiet EPA compliant mufflers. Those manufactures are capable of producing EPA compliant mufflers, it's just that, currently, there is little demand for quiet EPA compliant mufflers. With the strong enforcement of the federal law, that will increase the demand for legal and quiet EPA compliant exhaust systems, and the after market manufactures will have no choice but to adjust to market demand or go out of business like any other business driven by market demand.
The excuses by the motorcycle lobby has to stop, and the enforcement of the federal law has to start all over the USA to put a stop to the excessive and illegal motorcycle noise that the motorcycle lobby has been encouraging and keeping alive for far too long. "

Seriously, who thinks that's OK?
If the folks who rode bikes could make them quiet when they ought to be, and allow them to be loud selectively, that might be different. But a bike with after-market pipes going down the main street of any older town is absolutely going to be rude to everyone who lives along that street. "

Check the accident statistics: 45% of motorcycle accidents are single vehicle accidents. And if 1/2 of the rest of the accidents are the fault of the motorcycle- speeding, alcohol, lack or training, that means that 72.5% of motorcycle accidents are the fault of the motorcyclist. Loud pipes didn't do a thing to make the motocyclist safer. And since when should everyone within a 1/2 mile radius be forced to be involved in the safety of the biker? You choose to ride. Accept the risk and the responsibility. Quit whining about everyone else. It's a dangerous world out there. If YOU choose to ride around on an inherently unsafe vehicle, that's your problem.
The Chopper Culture has become nothing more than a pathetic band of clueless middle-aged men. A small but loud special-interest group.

During my 20 + years in law enforcement starting in 1970 we always enforced the noise law. The night stick was a convenient tool to determine if the exhaust was "gutted". Back then also there was law that prohibited more than two bikes from riding together. Can you imagine how much the noise could be reduced if there weren't 6-8 M/C's driving down the road holding hands. To the best of my knowledge I dont't believe the noise law has been repealed but the convoy law has.
If the noise law has not been repealed my former breathern are doing a terrible job of enforcing it.
In so far as the inconvenience is concerned, I am in the NW corner where we formerly enjoyed our piece and quiet. Now with all of the city macho men out riding on the weekend you create a miserable environment for us. Doing so for your own selfish reasons (I suggest a suitable substitute for your loud bikes to be a dose of Viagra).
Now the subject of the ludicrist statement your abhorrent noise creates a safety zone. You would be better served with a helmet topped with a strobe light.
You people just piss off all of us that just want to live in piece and quite.
I am not a lib, in fact very conservative. Your rights end at my nose, in this case my ears and you should not be allowed to enter within by your unabashed childish noise making machines. "

Zack's Kernel News
Zack's Kernel News
The Linux kernel mailing list comprises the core of Linux development activities. Traffic volumes are immense, often reaching 10,000 messages in a week, and keeping up to date with the entire scope of development is a virtually impossible task for one person. One of the few brave souls to take on this task is Zack Brown.
Saving Power With Idle CPUs
Arun R. Bharadwaj is working on CPUidle, a project to make sure that idle CPUs on a given PowerPC system are put into the most appropriate power usage state in a clean and efficient way. For example, it's not necessarily obvious whether a CPU is going to be idle long enough to warrant putting it into a very low power state, from which it would take longer to make it available to the system again if it's needed. CPUidle relies on various heuristics to guide it in making that selection. CPUidle currently chooses between only two idle states – a snooze or a full-fledged nap. No kidding, that's what they're called. CPUidle is the kind of project that starts off relatively simply and then gradually introduces additional idle states to accommodate newer and newer processors, with more and more complicated heuristics used to choose from among them. Typically one might expect such a situation to become very crufty and esoteric over time, until some freak like Alan Cox comes along and completely redoes it to make it much simpler and better. Alternatively, multiple freaks could implement competing improvements, leading to no agreement and tons of fighting until Linus Torvalds does it his own way and the fighting subsides again. CPUidle seems like that type of project to me.
VMware Deprecates Paravirtualization Features
VMware has decided to stop supporting VMI, their paravirtualization technique, because virtualization features in hardware are starting to be the default for all new systems. The announcement from Alok Kataria of VMware gave the benchmark results, which showed that the hardware virtualization was better than their VMI implementation. The reason for his post was to ask for advice about the best way to retire the VMI code, which had been accepted into the kernel already.
Chris Wright explained that typically there would be a deprecation phase, listing the feature in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt and giving run-time alerts that inform the user they're using a deprecated feature. But Jeremy Fitzhardinge pointed out that VMI wasn't so much a feature as an optimization, and beyond the slight speed difference, users would probably not even notice its absence. This made sense to Chris, and because the code was very specific to VMware, he didn't think it would be essential to follow normal deprecation procedures. Also, Jeremy pointed out that removing VMI would be a simple matter of just taking out a couple of files, as opposed to making massive changes in many different places, Greg Kroah-Hartman felt it would be fine to just go ahead and do that.
However, just as Alok posted the patch that would do this, Ingo Molnár objected that a proper sunset period was really what they should undertake. He pointed out that most VMware users weren't yet benefiting from the hardware improvements that made VMI obsolete. Until they did, he wanted to keep the VMI optimization available, even though it wasn't as good as the hardware versions that VMware predicted would be ubiquitous in 2011.
Alok was fine with this and posted patches to go through the regular deprecation process. But just as he did so, H. Peter Anvin said it seemed much too early yet to consider this. Alok's patch was for 2.6.32; Peter felt it would be better to wait until the end of 2010 or (he estimated) kernel 2.6.37.
Gradually, a deprecation plan developed involving a very gradual approach that would leave VMI in the kernel until it could be assumed that users might be migrating their hardware over to systems that had hardware virtualization features.
VMware was acting the good citizen in these code deprecation and kernel development processes. Open source development often includes this type of zeroing in to a solution on the basis of a number of participants' sense of what should be done.
Maintainership Changes
Greg Kroah-Hartman has taken over maintainership of the TTY layer, which had previously been orphaned. He won't be using Git for development, however – he's chosen to rely on quilt, Andrew Morton's patch management tool. The TTY layer handles all serial connections and, basically, any time you have a shell prompt. These types of important elements of the kernel don't tend to change too much over time but should be maintained anyway.
Avi Kivity recently announced that he'd taken on Marcelo Tosatti as co-maintainer of the KVM code. In a departure from the way these things usually happen, they've decided to split up the maintainership duties week by week, with Avi handling incoming patches one week, then Marcelo doing it for a week, and so on. This would leave each of them free to focus on their own coding projects (or as Avi enthusiastically put it, go to the beach) on their off weeks. KVM lets users create any number of virtual machines on a single system, each of which can run Linux or Windows or provide a variety of other environments.

Pyramid Healing is both the idea and the art of healing the mind, body and spirit by utilizing universal energy, aligned and magnified by the geometric and sacred form of the pyramid. Energy is amplified utilizing naturally occurring minerals and crystals found within the earth. Pyramids are amazing! These structures built by man more than 5,000 years ago. The Pyramids shape and form in itself is a supernatural source of energy and power, believed since ancient times to have balancing and healing effects upon the body.
Crystal Quartz, a Fire and Water element, is the ultimate power stone, known as the "Universal Crystal". Crystal Quartz is a stone known to raise energy to its hight levels and is used for protection, mediation, channeling, spiritual growth, scrying, dreamwork and is a powerful healing stone.
Crystal Quartz is the ultimate "anything-stone" as it radiates all the color vibrations within the spectrum of light and thus can be utilized and programmed for any use which bring light and energy into our spiritual bodies. A "stone of the mind", quartz can be used to imprint with any energy or information and helps to focus the mind, aides in concentration and enhances mental ability.
Crystal Quartz is a power stone that harmonizes and balances. It enhances energy and thoughts, and purifies the spiritual, mental, and physical. It is also a powerfully protective stone, bringing the purified energy in. Historically this crystal has been used to counter black magic, to perform diagnostic healing, and to communicate with spirits and other worlds.
These mini sized Crystal Quartz Pyramids are adorable and will look splendid upon your altar and aid brilliantly in your spell and energy workings. You will receive a Crystal Quartz Pyramid measuring 7/8 x7/8.

Sanctions, Counter-Attack Among Options Presented
By Harold Hutchison
Two years ago, the Obama Administration turned down a range of retaliatory options to deal with ChiCom cyber attacks. The decision was made as an effort to avoid disrupting relations with a country that holds $1.2 trillion of America's debt. Among the options rejected were retaliatory cyber-attacks and economic sanctions.
According to a report by Bill Gertz in the Washington Free Beacon, an interagency task group was asked to assemble options to deter cyber-attacks in August, 2011, as evidence of ChiCom complicity mounted. The ChiComs have repeatedly denied any involvement in cyber-attacks, even after Mandiant, an online security firm, released a report in February outlining the activities of one shadowy unit of the People's Liberation Army.
Representative Mike Rogers (R-MI), the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said during an interview on ABC's This Week, "Beyond a shadow of a doubt, [the Chinese] use their military and intelligence structure to steal intellectual property from American businesses and European businesses and Asian businesses, repurpose it, and then compete in the international market against the United States."
Rogers also added that the lack of retaliation is making the problem worse. "I'll tell you, it is as bad as I've ever seen it and exponentially getting worse. Why? There's no consequence for it."

Take Two for July 22, 2013
UPDATE: Young immigrants protesting deportations detained at US-Mexico border
John Moore/Getty Images
A U.S. Border Patrol agent stands at the U.S.-Mexico border fence on February 26, 2013 in Nogales, Arizona. Various federal agencies are tasked with securing the border from drug smugglers and illegal immigration in the Tucson sector of Arizona.
Update Tuesday July 23:
Monday at a border entry point in Nogales, Arizona, 8 young people who were brought to the US illegally tried to re-renter the country without legal papers.
The protesters were detained at the border and are believed to be held at a detention center.
Fronteras reporter Michel Marizco, joins the show again from the Tuscon bureau with an update.
Monday at the border, eight young immigrants are protesting the Obama administrations deportation policies in a unique way. They will cross the border into Mexico, even though the US government might not let them return.
One of the participants is Lizbeth Mateo, who was brought to the U.S. as a child and hasn't seen her family in 15 years.
"I know you're going to think that I'm crazy for doing this, for leaving the U.S., for coming to Mexico," said Lizbeth Mateo said in a video she made from Oaxaca, Mexico. "But to be honest, I think it's even crazier that I had to wait for 15 years to see my family. I did it not just for my own family, but I did it for the families that have been deported."
For more on that, we're joined by Fronteras reporter Michel Marizco, live from the pedestrian gate at the Nogales entry point.

Gilbert School aims to increase enrollment from Europe
WINSTED — Gilbert School is just shy of finishing its first semester of housing and teaching international students from China and yet it is already beginning to plan to expand the program next fall by bringing in students from Europe and other parts of the world.
Gilbert Head of School Anthony Serio recently spent 17 days visiting European countries primarily to market the town's quasi-public junior-senior high school, find out more about how and what schools teach there and develop relationships with the foreign exchange agencies that would recruit students to come here. He was joined for parts of the trip by Gilbert Director of Residential Life Carissa Mastroianni and Gilbert Dean of Admissions Timothy W. Cronin.

Bank of America Cost Cuts Have Analyst Drooling
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Bank of America (BAC)'s cost cuts and low valuation are the chief reasons Raymond James analyst Anthony Polini is leaving a "strong buy" on the stock going into third-quarter earnings.
Polini expects the bank to earn 22 cents per share vs. a consensus of 20 cents, with a range of between 14 and 27 cents.
Bank of America says it has eliminated 31,000 full-time jobs, or just under 11% of its workforce, between the second quarter of 2011 and the second quarter of 2013.
"Core expense should decrease on continued benefits from its costs savings program. Credit quality is expected to improve again in 3Q13, and we estimate NCOs and nonaccrual loans to decline 10% and 3% LQ, respectively. We expect the margin to hold up rather well in 3Q13 at 2.44%, equal to the 2Q13 level," Polini writes.Bank of America was spending $3 billion per quarter on what it calls "legacy assets and servicing" at the end of 2012. That figure, which does not include litigation, relates to addressing problem mortgages underwritten during the subprime mortgage boom. The bank expects to bring those costs down to $2 billion per quarter by the fourth quarter of this year, according to a presentation earlier this month by CFO Bruce Thompson. "We'll reduce that another $1 billion a quarter by the end of 2014 and look to have that below $0.5 billion a quarter by the end of 2015," Thompson said at a conference hosed by Barclays. Further cost reductions will come from a cost-savings initiative know as "Project New BAC," which the bank describes in regulatory filings as "a two-phase, enterprise-wide initiative to simplify and streamline workflows and processes, align businesses and costs more closely with our overall strategic plan and operating principles, and increase revenues. Phase 1 focuses on the consumer businesses, including Deposits, Card Services and Consumer Real Estate Services, and related support, technology and operations functions. Phase 2 focuses on Global Banking, Global Markets and Global Wealth & Investment Management, and related support, technology and operations functions not subject to evaluation in Phase 1. All aspects of Phase 1 of Project New BAC are currently expected to be implemented by the end of 2013, with the full cost savings impact expected to be realized in 2014, while Phase 2 is expected to be fully implemented by mid-2015." Despite the expected positives tied to cost savings, Polini sees Bank of America's "core" revenue declining 3% vs. the second quarter, due in part to a slowdown in refinancing activity as interest rates have risen. Bank of America has reportedly cut more than 2,000 jobs in its mortgage division as a result of the slowdown. Other banks, including Citigroup (C) and Wells Fargo (WFC), have made similar cuts. Bank of America has not confirmed the size of its cuts. Bank of America is scheduled to report earnings before the market opens Wed., Oct. 16. -- Written by Dan Freed in New York. Follow @dan_freed

2012 & 2013 will bring us new trends in children's bedroom and playroom designs. The next couple of Blogs that i post will be all about last years trends that are staying with us a little longer and new trends that will follow. From furniture to colors, to decoration, i will keep you up to date so you know what to expect in the next 12 to 18 months. Travel was big in 2011, with around the world wall stickers, world map cushions and inflatable globes. This year the travel bug will continue, With world maps and even personalised street maps being featured on children's walls. Suitcases will be seen again both used as storage or decoration. Older vintage suitcases piled up & used as a side table in vintage inspired rooms and fun fabric suitcases which will add color and pattern will be featured in modern bedrooms. We are encouraging our children from an early age to travel and see the world, using art, toys and play to inspire them. I have a feeling we are also getting quite nostalgic ourselves, and want to be reminded of our time in Paris or London, so adding Big Ben stickers to our children's walls and Parisian maps, not only looks great but also makes us smile. If you are looking for something different to world maps, but still want to inspire travel, Postage stamp posters are great, especially in a foreign language - you can find some here. Also be on the lookout for camera related items, these will be particularly popular with teenagers. Finally a cheap and chearful idea is to ask everyone that travels, to send your child a postcard, you can then make your own travel garland, or make their own pin board, promising to take them to a destination of their choice when they reach 13. I know Disneyland would of been on my list, but then i didn't have a Parisan street map to inspire me.
Thank you to the folllowing:

Quota, Greylist (GLD) & ....
I'm going to use ISPC in my company. I have Debian server with mysql, apache, postfix. I'd like to know if:
1. Is there any plans to ad Greylist in ISPC packet? I use it and it works really good
2. Is there System User Qouota in ISPC? I'd like to give limited space for userrs on my server (clients that bought i.e www, mysql, ftp etc.)
3. Does it compatibile with postfix?
1) No. As greylisting works fine with ispconfig and there is no ned to integrate it.
2) yes.
3) yes.
Another Question?
Is there transfer limit option?
Which transfer?
At first I forgot to thank You for fast anserw. I ment client transfer (amount of data per month i.e.). Also I can't find System Quota and Transfer Limit in Control Panel (v 3.0.1)
There's no traffic limit yet in ISPConfig 3.
Thank You again for the anserw. The next question is that we have paswords for e-mail coded in MD5(passwd) and we're afraid it won't work after transfer to ISPConfig.... can You help?
ISPConfig uses crypt and not md5 as md5 hashes without salt can be attacked easily with dictionary attacks. In general you should be able to use md5 as well for old passwords if you modify the postfix and courier config files to allow paswords with both encryptions.

Everything started out innocently enough. More
Miley Cyrus is a lot of things. As of today, we can officially add Expert Revenge-Getter to her extensive resumé. More
In this fast-paced, constantly changing world, one thing we can rely on from day to day is Miley Cyrus and her ability to deliver quotable quotes. More
If you can look past the fact that twerking in a flesh colored bathing suit has landed Miley Cyrus a spot on Barbara Walters Presents: The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2013, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the things MC revealed in her interview. More
The dress code in New York is more casual and less naked everywhere. More
I like Jennifer Lawrence more and more with every outfit… More
Last night was the Hunger Games: Catching Fire world premiere in London and my, my, everyone looked awesome. To celebrate the second installment of Suzanne Collins' unbelievably popular series, all the stars showed up on the red carpet and wore their finest (well, most of them did the latter, at least). Beloved celebs including Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, Ellie Goulding, Willow Shield and many more turned out to show off their film premiere finest and smile for fans.
Plus: Jennifer Lawrence's first big red carpet look with her new short hair! More
Miley Cyrus has apparently taken some time out of her busy schedule of being extremely provocative and not wearing clothes and saying "literally" when she means "figuratively" to try and undo some of the damage visited upon her relationship with ex-fiance Liam Hemsworth. She'd like to patch things up! She's realized you can't build a healthy, functioning relationship on twerking and namedropping (even though one of the Baldwin brothers is a huge fan!). More
Miley has kept relatively quiet about her breakup with Liam Hemsworth until now, but these quotes make up for all that (pleasant, appreciated silence. More
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth have broken up!
Well, they didn't break up exactly. They "ended their engagement," but for anyone in the world who has ever done so–or "taken a break" or "needed space"–the outlook is not good. Which is really shocking because, usually, when people get engaged at 19, it results in a baby after exactly nine months, followed by decades of resentment and yawning emotional distance. Then maybe a divorce. More
Last night at the Los Angeles premiere of corporate espionage thriller Paranoia, Miley Cyrus ended her long public absence from actor/fiance Liam Hemsworth's side to smile wanly next to him on the red carpet. She wore what we can only assume was a tacit comment on the confused state of her rumored-to-be-on-the-rocks relationship. More
As with all
completely irrelevant to our lives good things, Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth must end. Hard to believe, right? Despite dating since she was 17 or so, planning on an elaborate wedding and getting matching tattoos – you know, all those things that solidify a relationship 4evr… More
I don't know how, but somehow, I feel Miley Cyrus's Party in the USA may be responsible for Liam Hemsworth's street fight. Sometimes it just gets people too pumped. Like, so pumped they want to tackle another man in the … More
It was four hours into the third ceremony and Ashley Tisdale was starting to show signs of the effects of an eight-day bender. She'd disappeared for a huge chunk of time during the video montage, then reappeared under the Red Bull tent drinking something vicious and green out of a mason jar. "I can't trust you," she told the Red Bull spokesman repeatedly, sobbing openly. "I love you, but I don't trust you." She hit him in the face before curling up in a patch of grass and falling asleep.

The problem with cell phones is that the plans change so often so what one person could get, you can't get anymore - and also a lot of your service depends on the actual phone. Example: my work has Verizon and so do I; I have NO problems with dropped calls, poor service, etc. - but they complain about it at work ALLLLLLLL the time. Their actual phone has issues.
Also know that with Verizon, you can't get friends and family unless you have a plan with so many minutes (I think 1,000 or something?). So be sure you check into that with any provider.
And definitely try to get on a family plan. That way if you use very little minutes but your fiance uses a lot, it balances out.
Do either of your company's have cell phones? If so, you might qualify for a discount. Just for our company using Verizon, we get like 15% off or something like that. Military gets discount, too. It's worth asking about with whichever provider you choose.
Good luck - and try not to fall off your chair when they give you prices ;)

Advice: Dating a 36-year-old virgin? Dump him!
I started dating a guy about a month ago. I really like him and am interested in seeing where it goes, except for one thing: He's a 36-year-old virgin who's waiting until marriage to have sex. I've been sexually active for well over a decade, and I feel like this is too big of a difference to overcome. Plus, if we do become serious, I'm not willing to wait until marriage to find out if we're sexually compatible. Do I dump him or give it some time? Or try to convince him that waiting isn't necessarily the best idea?

Maxed Out takes viewers on a journey deep inside the American style of debt, where things seem fine as long as the minimum monthly payment arrives on time. With coverage from small American towns all the way to the White House, the film shows how the modern financial industry really works, explains the true definition of "preferred customer" and tells us why the poor are getting poorer while the rich keep getting richer. Hilarious, shocking and incisive, Maxed Out paints a picture of a national nightmare that is all too real for most of us.

"We appreciate the chance to come to your career fair and love meeting your great students, especially the accounting, business mgt. and marketing students! They are top-notch! We look forward to continuing to be involved in hiring and training students for a long-term career in financial services and appreciate all you do and the quality of your students!"
- David Henderson, American National Insurance
"We primarily recruit from SUU because the students are ready to hit the ground running when they graduate. The education students receive at SUU gives them the knowledge and experience they need to receive training and begin working right away. SUU students are thoroughly prepared through their experience at SUU to take and pass the CPA exam quickly. They have a strong drive to learn and succeed, which help them to handle the complex issues found in public accounting. We feel that SUU is a great training ground for future CPAs and its students are a natural fit for our firm."
- Gary Keddington, Keddington & Christensen, LLC
"The Utah State Tax Commission Auditing Division is one of the largest auditing organizations in the state with over 100 professional auditors. We have been recruiting at Southern Utah University for many years with great success. We have found SUU students to be well prepared and professional in the interview process, and have found those students we hire to have the educational foundation needed to be successful in our organization. We also have many current employees who are benefiting from the on-line MACC program provided by SUU. Those courses will prepare them to sit for the CPA exam and continue to progress in their careers and work well for our employees while still working full time. SUU has a great accounting program which prepares students very well for a professional career."
- Frank Hales, Utah State Tax Commission
"Piercy Bowler Taylor & Kern has consistently recruited and hired accounting students from SUU for the past 21 years. We find their students to be well trained and ready for the work force, including their knowledge of the accounting profession that goes beyond the classroom and into real world experiences through internships and prior job experience. Their work ethic, professional demeanor, quality of education, and personal values keep our firm coming back to the SUU campus to find our newest accounting associates. In fact, three of our four most recent hires were from SUU."
- Jim Wilcox, CPA, Shareholder at Piercy Bowler Taylor & Kern
"In multiple cases, we have been fortunate enough to hire some of the students who began working as interns, and arc now tremendous assets to our organization. I know that had we not offered internship opportunities through SUU, we would have missed out on the chance to hire these very capable employees. It is our intent to continue our internship program with Southern Utah University, and consider it a privilege to do so."

2009 | 2008 | 2007 | 2006 | 2005 | 2004 | 2003
Science Suppressed:
How America became obsessed with BPA
What the Journal Sentinel didn't report
The European Union
The European Food Safety Authority [EFSA] is the European agency is the European Union's equivalent to the Food and Drug Administration, and is charged with the scientific assessment of food safety. In 2006, EFSA published its risk assessment of BPA – "Opinion of the Scientific Panel on Food Additives, Flavourings, Processing Aids and Materials in Contact with Food on a request from the Commission related to 2,2-BIS(4-HYDROXYPHENYL)PROPANE (Bisphenol A)" [ref] It was conducted by 21 scientists from across the EU.
EFSA took the exact opposite position to the Journal Sentinel reporters, junking much of the "independent" research that provide the grounds for the paper's claims of regulatory mismanagement in the U.S. As EFSA told STATS, "the scientists considered that many of the studies indicating low dose effects of BPA were contradictory and not well conducted."
The European parliament could have overturned the risk assessment's conclusions (as it has with other risk assessments), but it didn't. This – and other member states separate risk analyses – is the key reason that BPA is not a public health controversy in Europe.
And yet, the EFSA risk assessment only received a passing mention in the Journal Sentinel's 30,000 plus words of reporting, being alluded to twice and cited just once. On October 30, the paper quoted from an FDA press release:
"Consumers should know that, based on all available evidence, the present consensus among regulatory agencies in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Japan is that current levels of exposure to BPA through food packaging do not pose an immediate health risk to the general population, including infants and babies,"
The same quote is repeated in an article on October 29. On August 18, the Journal Sentinel noted
"However, the European Union and the European Food Safety Authority, which both recently reviewed the research on bisphenol A, have deemed the chemical safe."
It doesn't appear to have occurred to the journalists or editors at the paper to ask, why has the EU, which regulates chemicals according to the precautionary principle (meaning that substantial proof of actual risk doesn't have to be determined in order to ban a substance), concluded that BPA is safe, when we are telling readers that it is highly dangerous?
Indeed, as already noted, EFSA found BPA to be safe enough to recommend raising the reference dose (rfd – the amount of a substance that a person can safely ingest on a daily basis over a lifetime, known as "tolerable daily intake" in Europe) by a factor of five.
EFSA's 2008 update, Norway's Scientific Committee on Food Safety and neurotoxicity, Denmark's Environment Protection Agency
Though the Journal Sentinel reported that BPA was linked to neurological disorders and neurotoxicity (April 30, May 19, October 23, 29, November 16, 18 of 2008), and that the National Toxicology Program "found some concern for the neurodevelopment of young children, infants and fetuses" (October 23, 24, 2008), the paper did not note that EFSA rejected this evidence in an update to its 2006 risk assessment in July 2008.
"EFSA also took into account the recent report published by one of the institutes of the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (EC, 2008) which concluded that due to the low confidence in the reliability of the developmental neurotoxicity studies and the lack of consistency in the results of behavioural testing, no conclusions can be drawn from these studies."
EFSA also cited an evaluation of four studies on developmental neurotoxicity by the Norwegian Scientific Committee on Food Safety. The panel concluded that
"the four studies suffer from major shortcomings and do not provide sufficient evidence for setting a robust lower NOAEL for BPA than the current EFSA NOAEL of 5 mg/kg bw/day."
(The panel recommended further study in light of the NTP decision to express "some concern" over neurotoxicity based on this research).
Denmark – no slouch on environmental protection – was also concerned about the gap between EFSA and the NTP on neurodevelopment and toxicity, and its Environment Protection Agency conducted a separate investigation with outside experts on the risk to infants. The conclusion was that the EFSA decision to reject these studies was correct.
In light of repeated criticism in the Journal Sentinel and elsewhere that the FDA wasn't doing enough to protect the public from BPA, it is noteworthy to find European environmental agencies – which operate under more risk-sensitive protocols – concluding that the U.S. was being too risk averse. This would probably surprise, if not shock, many American readers along with those politicians who fear the FDA is failing to protect the public. B ut such news never made the news; instead, the Journal Sentinel focused on what Canada thought of BPA.

11-9-05 - A Durant woman on the run with her seven-month-old baby, was apprehended during a traffic stop in Denton County Wednesday afternoon. The mother and child are now on their way to Decatur, and they are both fine.
The Amber Alert went out Tuesday in both Texas and Oklahoma after Alicia Stephenson disappeared with her son, John Christopher Stephenson, Jr
Police say she took the baby from his custodial grandmother's home in Decatur, Texas, Tuesday afternoon.
Later Tuesday night Stephenson called KXII and told First News that John is safe, and that she intends to return him and turn herself in Wednesday. KXII will be playing portions of the phone conversation during First News at 5.
She would not say where she was, and she said she is not armed or dangerous. She told KXII that she took the baby after an argument with a family member, and actually tried to return him once, but the swarm of officers scared her.

Microsoft plans to release Windows 8 Consumer Preview Version at an event Mobile World Congress on February 29. In last December, Microsoft said a public Windows 8 beta would be released in late February. Now members of the press recently received an invitation to a special Windows 8 Customer Preview event in Barcelona as part of the Mobile World Congress trade show.
It's pointed out that Windows 8 is a big bet for Microsoft, because the appearance of this system will be Windows to make a radical change, such as a new show for the first time last year in the D9 Conference Metro interface. Microsoft released a developer preview version of Windows 8 at Built Developers Conference in last autumn. The operating system is the most drastic overhaul of Windows since the release of Windows 95, building of many elements of its Windows Phone 7 OS. Windows 8 is designed with tablets and touchscreen computing in mind and with an eye toward integration over all Microsoft's computing devices.
In addition to the new appearance design, the features of Windows 8 include a built-in store selling new types of applications. Besides, Windows 8 will not only support the AMD and Intel chips used on the Windows Classic, but also support typically used for the ARM processor for Android phones and tablets. The biggest change will come in the form of the full-screen "Start Screen", with live tiles and a "Metro" design that is very similar to Windows Phone 7 and the latest Xbox 360 software update. Apps for this Start Screen will focus on touch, and be available through a built-in marketplace called the Store. During a demo at CES, Tami Reller, chief marketing officer for Windows, said we should expect to see Windows 8 on tablets and ultrabooks. In an earnings call this week, ARM CEO Warren East said Windows 8 could propel more tablet sales than Google's Android mobile operating system has accomplished so far.
Microsoft has switched to releasing a "preview" that is more or less feature complete and ready to go as a means of generating some anticipation for the actual product launch, but it isn't necessarily expecting the consumer preview community to identify and report bugs. The software will undoubtedly be tweaked based on feedback, but Microsoft wants to get the public involved, and straying away from the scary "beta" word may be an attempt to do that. PC and chip manufacturers have said they are looking forward to this latest software release later this year, but Microsoft refused to formally confirm the final release time. However, Microsoft has in the last earnings conference call that 2012 will be a major release of the Year.

People-to-people tours to Cuba resume Thursday
The average American traveler, forbidden from visiting Cuba legally for 7½ years, now can go — with restrictions.
Sponsored Links
"People-to-people trips," reauthorized by the Obama administration after the George W. Bush presidency forbade them in 2003, citing abuses, are due to start leaving Miami today. Trips are supervised, with restrictions on how time is spent.
"People are excited about finally getting a chance to see Cuba," says Tom Popper, director of Insight Cuba, which has three trips due to leave today, including one interacting with artists and musicians. Many Americans have not met requirements for visits in recent years — such as being an educator, journalist, or member of a religious exchange group. The Communist island largely has been off-limits to U.S. citizens without family in Cuba because of a half-century-old trade embargo by the USA.
However, some other trips are in limbo because of questions about whether they meet government criteria, amid criticism that loosening of rules could open the door to mass tourism.
•Tour operator Abercrombie & Kent says tours are stalled, despite would-be participants making deposits. It had announced upscale trips that include meeting Cubans, rum tasting amd visiting Ernest Hemingway's villa, in partnership with the Foundation for Caribbean Studies. Bookings are "on hold until we can ensure we are fully compliant" with an advisory issued by OFAC (the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control, which issues licenses), says Jean Fawcett, A&K media relations manager.
•Trips announced by Vantage Deluxe World Travel also are in question. Senior marketing vice president Scott Weiler told USA TODAY that demand for its "Cuban Spirit: Religion and Restoration" outings was so strong that — as with other people-to-people tour providers — extra dates had been added. Though the Vantage reservations line was taking bookings this week, Vantage could not say Wednesday afternoon whether trips are on.
In July, The Miami Herald reported that Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., wrote to OFAC after a travel agent told a Louisiana newspaper that "the first wave of pure tourists from America will hit the friendly skies Aug. 11." Ros-Lehtinen called the agent's statement an "egregious misrepresentation" of Cuba travel rules.
On July 25, OFAC issued an advisory citing "misstatements in the media suggesting that U.S. foreign policy … now allows for virtually unrestricted group travel to Cuba." The advisory added that "all participants will have a full-time schedule of educational exchange activities. … Authorized activities by People-to-People Groups are not 'tourist activities.'" OFAC did not immediately respond to a query about how many licenses it issued.
Meanwhile, Ken Crowley of Witness for Peace, which has offered Cuban cultural programs in areas such as sustainable agriculture and peace-building, says the new licenses "extend participation." His group has been approached by tour operators with no license "that want to partner with us. But our trips are educational." Lying on beaches, staying in luxury hotels are not what they are about.
Crowley hopes to give more U.S. citizens "an opportunity to talk to Cubans. But we are not in the tourist business."

A sweet tweet may be too fleet!Application or Web App, DS106, Professional Development, Social Networking, Tip No Comments »
Have you ever received a tweet containing a great idea or educational resource, only to have it "disappear" when you need it? Have you ever wanted to share an idea, about a week after you had learned about it through a Twitter feed, but because you had not designated it as a "Favorite", it too was "lost"? Perhaps you have shared an idea or re-tweeted someone's awesome resource and yet when you want to share this same tweet with another colleague, two weeks later, the tweet can no longer be located. If you have encountered these or similar situations, I have some possible solutions.
Unfortunately my incoming tweets, from my Personal Learning Network (PLN) seem to have a very short "shelf life". For example, I find that tweets seem to be "visible" in TweetDeck, (which I use to scan and send tweets), for about two days. When I visit my original Twitter application, I can at least review tweets for up to four days before they are no longer available. True, I can probably adjust the "Settings" in TweetDeck and change the "Max. number of updates in a column" from the default value of 200 to a much larger number. However, regardless of what the maximum number of tweets that are displayed, I am sure that "Metcalfe's Law" states that "one will need to locate an important Twitter message at least one day after the tweet vanishes from the system."
Here are two strategies that I use to retrieve information in tweets, after they seem to disappear:
1. Use any of the following "Paper.li" twitter newspaper archives. Thanks should be extended to the dedicated educators, whose names appear in brackets following the archive process that they initiated.
- The manitoba-educators Daily (Andy McKiel)
- The Tech News Daily (John Evans)
- The ideas Daily (Darren Kuropatwa)
- Superintendents (Darren Kuropatwa)
- The educateurs-francophone Daily (Darren Kuropatwa)
To learn how you can retrieve tweets from any of the "Paper.li" archives, I recommend that you view my previous blog post entitled "Teacher Tool: The Manitoba-Educators Daily". These archives provide an excellent source of ideas and resources that are either shared or received by Manitoba educators using Twitter.
2. I admit that I often check Andy McKiel's "The manitoba-educators Daily" because it is a powerful archive of tweets that have been created or re-tweeted exclusively by Manitoba educators. However, I must admit that there are times that I would like to have a personal archive of the tweets that I have sent out. Such a mechanism would allow me to retrieve from my "sent tweets" and perhaps DM (direct message) or send a particular tweet to other educators.
The solution that I implemented was to install the "Twitter Tools" WordPress plugin on recommendation from my DS106 instructors. They emphasize the communication and connecting that is so important in today's world. Thanks to "Twitter Tools", regular readers may view my latest three tweets under the "Tweets I'm Sharing" header in the green right-hand margin. Perhaps what I value more is the weekly archive of my tweets that are automatically generated each Sunday morning. For example, yesterday's "Twitter Weekly Updates for 2012-02-12" lists the 30 tweets that I either created or re-tweeted during the previous week. Furthermore, if the reader wishes to click on my "Social Networking" category in the green right-hand margin, all of my weekly archived tweets will be displayed.
I trust these strategies will help you keep better track of your tweets since I know that they are already helping me.
Take care & keep smiling

Lovely swimming pool with a lot of grass around it and reclining chairs and parasols. You can eat pizza and hamburgers there as well! Very friendly crew. Nice apartment, 30 minutes by bike or 10 minutes by bus to Rhodos City. Across the street you can find a cheap greek restaurant with delicious gyros for 6 euros.
Great vacation! Friendly staff, close to the beach, a few minutes and you're there. Location is good, sea view and we could see Turkey. Good kitchen and we had a nice refrigerator. The bar sold hamburgers and drinks and a bit down the road was a bakery and a restaurant. 3 times in the week the sheets were changed and fresh towels every other day. In short a great vacation. Pity it didn't last longer!
Apartment was really big with 2 balconies. Cleaning is far from perfect though. A lot of musquitos so bring some lemon spray. Beds were really hard. Nice swimming pool and beautiful garden. If you value a good meal go to Zorba, dutch speaking owner, good food for a nice price. Ixia is kind of boring, not much to do there. Rent a scooter. All in all a wonderful vacation.
What annoys you the most on the ski slopes?

An immigration bill in Washington now has the support of Illinois's top Republican. U.S. Senator Mark Kirk announced Thursday he'll get behind the measure.
Illinois' junior U.S. Senator, Republican Mark Kirk, says he supports same-sex marriage. Kirk's stance on marriage equality was announced in a blog post Tuesday.
Illinois' junior U.S. Senator will soon return to work. Senator Mark Kirk will head back to Washington on Jan. 3, a year after suffering a major stroke that required months of intense rehabilitation.
Senator Mark Kirk is "mentally sharp" and keeping up with global issues during daily meetings with his staff. That's according to the director of the stroke rehabilitation center where the 52-year-old Republican has been since February.
Senator Mark Kirk is alert and talking, according to doctors at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. Illinois' junior Senator's condition has been upgraded to "fair," more than a week after he suffered a major stroke.

First and foremost cellulite is plain old fat. And the only way to get rid of cellulite without surgery is through nutrition and exercise, mostly exercise. The more muscle you have the smoother look you can get.
But why do some fit women still have cellulite? Women's fat cells are separated into honeycomb looking compartments. And then fat can push through and create the cottage cheese effect. Your genetics determine where and how many fat cells you have, but through exercise you can minimize the appearance of cellulite.
So why don't men seem to have cellulite like women? The answer lies in male genetics. They are blessed with streamlined connective tissue instead of honeycombs.
So how do you minimize the look of cellulite? Plain and simple, strength training.
As we women get older, the skin gets a little thinner. So even a little bit of cellulite will show through. Combine that with the metabolism getting a little slower every decade, and fat production increases with age. Avoid this vicious cycle and get on an exercise cycle! Seriously, take the opportunity to be proactive and prevent excess cellulite!

I talked to my parents for the first time about it yesterday and talked to my careers adviser about my options today. Im in year 12 but am doing my finals over two years which is called pathways. Well, at least I was. Im half way through my first year and I cant do it anymore. I havent the health, energy or motivation to do anymore. I have ongoing health issues but despite it i gave senior highschool my all. I KNOW that i want to do a creative writing course, become an author, become some sort of editor, and basically surround myself with English for the rest of my life (you hate me right now dont you?) and battling through all these subjects is just pointless. I want to take a year off to get my act together and then probably take a course that will take me into university. Now days you dont need to complete year 12 to have a sucessful education and career. Theres a chance I'll stay in school but it will be unlikely. The next few weeks will decide it. I dont take this all lightly. Im not bludging or being irresponsible. Its scary as hell but I think this will be the right thing for me. I never IMAGINED that I'd be a highschool dropout but there are a lot more possibilities than parents or teachers say.

Jen Ko
Hi Salomon! I really enjoyed your article! I had a few questions: What do you mean by the new vision proposed in your recently published book "The other micro finance"? What would be the role of commercial banks under your vision and of government and regulatory agencies?
Salomon Raydan
Jen, happy to hear you enjoyed reading the article and would like to know more about the book. In the book, we propose to study and understand informal mechanisms better than what have been done until today. To look at those mechanisms as complements and not as competitors of formal banking. Formal Banking should concentrate in amounts, terms and type of loans where they can be efficient (cost effective). Governments and regulatory agencies should stop criminalizing informal financial services. They should study them, help them to become more secure and efficient and help to provide poor people with reliable methods to improve some of their informal mechanism that are using massively any way.

Leandro Asensos
Hey Salomon, I just read your article, very interesting view about banking and informal financial mechanisms. I have a question, do you believe traditional banks and informal financial mechanisms can work together as complements of each other or are they completely opposite to one another? If they can complement, in what areas do you see them collaborating? For ex. banking solutions for rural communities.
Salomon Raydan
Hi Leandro, Thanks for your question. It raises a very important point. Both systems are complementary. Informal mechanisms are designed to deal with small amounts, shorts periods, and very different financial needs. They are able to adapt better to poverty, money cash flow, and peer pressure would help to produce money recovery. Formal banks are designed to deal with largest amounts, longer terms, and high returns on credits. That is why they are not so efficient (ie. expensive) dealing with poor populations. Think of it as a ladder: the first steps can be covered by informal mechanisms while higher levels should be attended by formal banking.

Natalie Zuniga
Hi Salomon! Thanks so much for making yourself available for discussing your ideas with us! I have a question that was raised during the last #SocEntChat regarding the informal financial mechanisms. These mechanisms have traditionally been considered unsafe and expensive for poor communities. Can we improve and guarantee them as secure, valuable, and affordable – low cost – mechanisms that are tailored to the specific needs of the public? What would be needed to achieve this?
Salomon Raydan
Hi Natalie! Thanks for the question. Of course I believe these mechanisms can be improved. Our method of Bankomunal (and others too) increases the level of security and effectiveness to some of these informal mechanisms. What is needed? to study them deeply, to understand their strength and weakness, and to produce an improved methodology for people to use.
