Rare Sight in China - Climate Change Could be CauseGLOBAL
13 November 2006
Visitors to the Shanghai Botanical Garden are this week witnessing a very rare event - chrysanthemums, orchids and osmanthus flowers all in full bloom at the same time. Climate Change "Spiralling Out of Control"Meanwhile, it has been reported in the journal Nature that greenhouse gas emissions have been increasing four times faster than the 1990s, giving added urgency to the international talks on climate change taking place in Nairobi. Michael Raupach, a carbon-cycle scientist with Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) in Canberra, who presented the Global Carbon Project results, reported "Global carbon emissions are now growing by 3.2% a year... That's four times higher than the average annual growth of 0.8% from 1990-99... We are not on any of the stabilization paths." This is well beyond Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) projections of the emissions levels needed to prevent damaging climate change. The accelerated rise is a result of rapid growth in developing economies such as China, India and Brazil, as well as the failure of developed countries such as the US to mitigate their greenhouse gas output. China currently contributes some 16% to global emissions, but accounts for 40% of the growth in world emissions. China Has an Important Role to Play"What's really striking is the rate of growth in places like China," says Raupach. According to Chinese figures, China The US and Australia have previously rejected the treaty and it a sign of progress that they are attending the talks at all. Some are hoping the US will soften their outlook after this week's Democratic victories in the mid-term elections, and the language of the Australian government has also changed. But if China doesn't also take strong and immediate action they could be seeing many more climate changes, not all as welcome as unusual flowering times at the botanic gardens.

Best Jockey
Janeen Painter
The Pennsylvania native is riding her third season at Arapahoe Park, and while she finished fourth in wins last season, she was leading 1995's local jockey colony at press time. Painter is widely admired for her strong hands, her ability to rate a horse over a distance of ground and her track-smart, hard-driving runs to the wire. Arizona racing fans also know her well: She was among the riding leaders in 1995 at Turf Paradise in Phoenix.
Best Local Fishin' Hole
Quincy Reservoir
18350 E. Quincy Ave., Aurora
Anglers in search of something big and plentiful will be perfectly happy at Quincy, where humongous tiger muskie, crappie and hatchery-raised bass mingle in the man-made deep. Quincy is close by and literally swims with fish. Plus it's smaller, with less potential for human company than the more heavily used Aurora Reservoir.
Readers' choice: Chatfield Reservoir
Best Little-Known Local Fishin' Hole
Lowell Ponds
56th Ave. and Lowell Blvd.
Feeling lucky? Lowell Ponds, located just off I-76 in Adams County, are not only convenient, they're also nicely stocked with crappie and bluegill that are all just dying to snap up your bait. Featuring a cast of thousands.
Best Quickie Fishing Getaway
South Platte River at Deckers
If river fishing in a mountain setting is to your liking, the drive to Deckers, southwest of Sedalia on Highway 67, is exceptionally pretty, and it's a doable day trip to boot. Fishing boot, that is. Strap 'em on. And if the day is good and you find just the right pool, the South Platte ought to be running with a crafty commune of rainbow and brown trout. One word of advice: For the reasons detailed above, Deckers is a favorite party spot. The fishing is usually the best--and most relaxed--midweek.
Best Fishing Expedition
Jenny and Yankee Doodle lakes
High above Boulder, in the rugged shadow of Rollins Pass, these pristine mountain lakes are accessible to citified fisherfolk, just so long as they don't mind hiking in a mile or so with their tackle and gear. It's the ultimate mountain fishing experience, sans the tent and 100-pound backpack. If you've got four-wheel drive, all the better.
Best Place to Flip a Disc
Edora Park
Fort Collins
This eighteen-hole beaut was built in 1991 to accommodate disc golf, the hottest new alternative sport this side of snowboarding, in which new-age duffers attempt to hurl souped-up Frisbees into metal baskets. And Edora has everything a spin doctor could want: plenty of water hazards and strategically placed trees for tight maneuvering, but also several holes that require monster drives over gargantuan expanses of manicured grass. First-timers may need a little help figuring out where the pins are--maps are for wimps is the governing principle on this par-72 layout--but once you've played it, you'll want to go around--and around--again.
Best Place to Get Free Frisbees
Memorial Park
5900 Allison Ct., Arvada
If you're willing to get your feet wet, a veritable trove of sunken treasures awaits in the northern suburbs. The disc-golf course next to Arvada's city offices was designed by sadists who placed practically every pin next to Ralston Creek, which rampages through the park, waiting to swallow up wayward projectiles. On any given day, you can find golfers in the creek, Reeboks off and pants rolled up, in search of their slipped discs. They may even find them--unless you get there first.
Best Hole on a Public Golf Course
No. 13, Eagle Golf Club
1200 Clubhouse Dr., Broomfield
Grab some air. This 427-yard par-4 runs entirely uphill, and to get there you must avoid hitting your drive into one of two bunkers 220 yards down the right side of the fairway and one 230 yards down the left side. And try to miss that 200-yard-long ditch on the right, okay? That done, now loft your second shot toward a severely left-and-forward-sloping green with another trap situated front-left. Okay so far? Did you miss the other bunker to the right of the green? Fine. Now try to read the wicked breaks in the green and two-putt. Good. Four. Now, how about the six lakes and 61 remaining bunkers that lurk along the rest of this Dick Phelps-designed layout?
Readers' choice: No. 13, Arrowhead
Best Out-of-the-Way Driving Range
Old West Driving Range
14771 Morrison Rd., Morrison
For those golfers among you who'd rather work on your game without dozens of other duffers analyzing (and snickering at) your every swing, this is your dream range. Just off Highway C-470, Old West is located in a scenic and fairly isolated area next to Old West Stables (a popular place to rent horses) and a good distance from the scrutiny of wiseacres. Prices are good, too: A bucket of seventy balls will run you $4, and if you purchase nine buckets, you get a tenth free.
Best Run for Your Money
The Leukemia Society's "Team in Training" program
It's a classic tradeoff: Ambitious Denver-area runners get a chance to work with expert personal trainers and then be shipped off to major marathons around the country. But first, they must donate at least $2,500 to the Leukemia Society for the benefit of leukemia patients. The runners get to fulfill their long-distance dreams, while leukemia research and patient-aid programs get a boost.

Tax Reform
Americans are a hard-working bunch and should keep what they earn. Our ideas for tax reform reduce the burden of taxes while ensuring governments have the resources to focus on core responsibilities.
PHOENIX-The Goldwater Institute today released its second annual Legislative Report Card, a comprehensive analysis of the voting records of all Arizona legislators. The report card assigns a letter grade to each legislator based on how well their votes advanced economic freedom, personal responsibility, and constitutional government.
Consumption-Based Tax Best Way to Enhance Savings, Investment, and Growth
PHOENIX-In a report released today by the Goldwater Institute, economist Stephen Slivinski offers Arizona policymakers three different consumption-based tax reforms. "Arizona's current tax system punishes savings and investment," Slivinski says. "A consumption-based tax system would be an enormous boon to savings, investment, and growth." The report appears as the Governor's Citizens Finance Review Commission begins deliberations over how to reform the state's tax system.
Phoenix -- An Arizona State University study released Wednesday reports that Arizona's per capita tax burden is among the lowest in the nation. The study also reports that Arizona's total tax burden fell from 20th highest in the nation in 1972 to 37th in 2000.
But Stephen Slivinski, director of tax and budget studies at the Goldwater Institute, argues that the ASU report is misleading. "The per capita numbers published in the ASU study understate the tax burden on working Arizonans," Slivinski said.
Arizona's pre-eminent child-welfare activist of 18 years, Carol Kamin, is moving to her native Massachusetts.
So, just for old time's sake, perhaps, her ideological nemesis over much of that time, the conservo-libertarian Goldwater Institute, has published a sort of parting gift: a study that finds Massachusetts is far less "nice to children" than Arizona, which the former Children's Action Alliance director often judged to be pretty brutish that way.
Art Laffer, propounder of the theory that lowering taxes generally raises government tax revenues, has repeatedly been vindicated, even if his supply side ideas (and name) made him the butt of liberals jokes. The latest evidence comes in a study released Nov. 14 by Arizona's Goldwater Institute that shows states with low tax rates from 1990 to 2000 were more successful at reducing general and childhood poverty than states with high tax rates.
Fourteen years ago, I supported the Taxpayers Bill of Rights and I still support it today.
When it passed in 1992, it was a revolutionary measure in Colorado to ensure that the state's budget didn't grow too big or too fast. It worked then, and it still works today.
In her Jan. 31 column ("Colo. found danger of skating on bill's too thin ice"), transplanted Colorado columnist Billie Stanton lectured Arizonans about the supposedly dire consequences of forcing legislators to live within a budget.
Maricopa County residents appear ready and willing to keep taxing themselves for improved transportation, according to The Arizona Republic Poll. But simmering questions over the value of light rail could still threaten the $15.8 billion plan.
"Basically, I have no objection to a tax for transportation," said Scottsdale resident William Eikner, 72. "I have an objection to some of the parts of the plan. The light rail is really a boondoggle."
Eikner isn't alone.
Independence Day weekend is a good time to assess just how far we've come since the colonists finally had it up to here with Mother England's tyrannical tax policies. This also happens to be the first weekend of the state's new fiscal year, and tyranny is in the offing once again - only it goes by the name "tax reform."
The Goldwater Institute wants to replace the state's existing tax code-including its progressive income tax-with a flat tax.
The economically conservative think tank released a new study June 9 advocating a trio of possible 3 percent flat taxes to replace current state taxes on income and consumption.
Stephen Slivinski, a Goldwater economist and author of the report, will take his flat-tax message to lawmakers and a blue-ribbon gubernatorial commission considering tax reform proposals that could come up in 2004.
What do a couple hundred Arizona conservatives do for fun on a Friday night-well, besides watch the Fox News Channel?
On March 28, they were at the Scottsdale Plaza Resort rallying for the elimination of federal income taxes.
A good bit of the state's conservative Republican establishment attended a dinner and fund-raiser supporting Americans for Fair Taxation. The Houston-based group lobbies for eliminating progressive federal income taxes and replacing them with a flat 23 percent national sales tax. The proposal would give those under the poverty line tax rebates.

I love all food (yes, that included meat at one point). However, in this day and age, I feel that my eating habits should go alongside my desire to promote a healthy environment & animal rights. I choose to eat vegetarian and vegan for both environmental and ethical reasons. I'm not a die hard, chain myself to a tree type of person - but I do believe that we can each help to improve our environment for our children...and their children. One way I do that is with the food I prepare and devour! :)
I make vegan lunches for the kids and they are the hit of the classroom! Creative, colourful and SO MUCH FUN to make! Who knew that making lunches could be such a wonderful, loving thing to do! My favourite vegan lunch book is "Vegan Lunch Box". Tons of ideas for menus and lots of recipes. All three of my children seem to love their "new" lunches. :D
I love anything that's fresh, quick and simple. My favourite type of cooked food is Greek (I love greek potatoes etc.), but recently I've been eating a lot of raw or close to raw recipes. I love most of the dinner options in The Thrive Diet. Check it out, you may find something you like too!

Officers deliver woman's baby in Centralia yard
Centralia police Sgt. Carl Buster said the officers were called to a home at Roanoke Street and Ahlers Avenue after a passerby heard a woman yelling and thought there was a fight.
When the officers arrived they discovered that the reason the woman was screaming was because she was in labor.
"The woman was literally bent over trying... to keep the baby from being born," Buster said. "She told them this baby is coming right now."
The officers had the woman get on the ground and with one push the baby boy was born.
Buster said an ambulance arrived a few minutes later to take the woman and her newborn son to a hospital to be checked out.
"Mom and baby are doing just fine," he said.
The incident was definitely a change of pace for the two officers involved.
"No one ever calls the police when something good is going on. We always get called to bad stuff," Buster said. "For it to be something so cool, that's a once-in-a-career call right there."

Consumers today are overwhelmed with hundreds of channels of television content. However, despite having more viewing choices than ever, consumers report that TV does not align with what they really want to watch. According to a survey conducted by TotalVid.com, an online video download service that offers instant access to hundreds of premium, hard-to-find videos, consumers would overwhelmingly choose to watch programming that specifically relates to their favorite hobbies such as mountain biking, playing guitar or photography; instead of any of the 10 most highly rated primetime television shows. The survey uncovered several interesting statistics on television viewing habits and consumer preference, including:
-- Nearly 78 percent of men and 64 percent of women surveyed would rather watch a program featuring their favorite hobby than an episode of "American Idol." -- Even the most frequent television watchers indicated a preference for hobby-related programming. Nearly four out of five (78.5 percent) respondents would prefer programming related to their unique hobby instead of watching popular shows such as "24," "CSI" and other top 10 programs. -- Survey respondents also indicated that they would be very receptive to downloading programs from the Internet that specifically align with their unique areas of interest. Three out of four (74.6 percent) respondents would be likely to watch such programs if given the opportunity.
Consumers participate in a growing array of hobbies, many of which aren't represented on traditional television. For example, according to the International Mountain Biking Association, nearly 40 million people in the U.S. participate in mountain biking annually. The U.S. Martial Arts Association estimates that approximately 25 million people actively participate in martial arts on some level. Even though both of these hobbies are popular among American consumers, there isn't television programming dedicated to them.
"American consumers have an increasingly diverse set of hobbies and interests. For somebody interested in mountain biking, learning how to dance or even learning self defense, television just doesn't deliver. Increasingly, these enthusiasts are turning online to services like ours," commented Karl Quist, President of TotalVid.com, an online video download store that offers enthusiast, educational and instructional videos. "Whatever your passion, TotalVid has a video that speaks to your unique interests and delivers content that television does not."
The current state of television programming has left nearly nine out of ten (88.7 percent) viewers unfulfilled. Consumers are beginning to turn to the Internet for video that they can't find on television. According to a recent study from Jupiter Research, 14 percent of broadband users don't have Pay TV service; instead they watch video on services like YouTube and TotalVid.
Increased choice online coupled with consumer dissatisfaction with current television programming is driving viewers to sites like TotalVid which offer video content that consumers want, but can't find on cable or satellite. According to TotalVid's survey, nearly three in four (71.4 percent) respondents would turn to the Internet to download a video that they wanted to see, but couldn't find on television.
"The Internet has increasingly become the place where consumers turn to find unique, specialized content," said Chris Smythe, TotalVid's Vice President, Content. "As this survey demonstrates, consumers are more willing than ever to look beyond the confines of their TV lineup to find video content that speaks to their unique interests and passions."
About TotalVid, Inc.
TotalVid.com unleashes the power of broadband to deliver video that matters most to consumers, yet is almost impossible to find on TV or in video rental stores.

Thanks, Pam. I love whimsical things in my house, as well as in the garden.
I did this in my side entry hall...which is the door everyone comes in. I have fairies hiding everywhere in my house. This is in my family-room... and this is in my living-room. I inherited the barometers from my grandparents and parents. What to do with two of them??? I have some great projects to do next! Maybe this will give you some ideas. ~Sandy~ |

Whoops...I reduced the family-room pic too much. Guess I'm rushing around too much! Here it is...I hope! Whew...it worked! ~Sandy~ |
Sandy, Thanks for the inspiration! Your sayings are wonderful. I love the one with the barometers. I have a country kitchen and now I'm trying to find the perfect saying to "write" on the wall. Thanks again! |

Pam~ I have signs I made for my kitchen: BLESS THIS MESS! and LIFE IS UNCERTAIN...EAT DESSERT FIRST! The "Life" one gets a lot of attention and chuckles! ~Sandy~ |
That is so cute! I have those same fairies in my daughter's room! |

3DMark03 - Build 330
3DMark03 is the latest installment in the popular 3DMark series. By combining DirectX 9 support with completely new graphics (including the GeForce FX and ATI Radeon 9800), it continues to provide benchmark results that empower you to make informed hardware assessments.
Please Note: Due to recent events with the 3DMark03 series, we are adding results purely for those who are still in favor of 3DMark03. These results should not be taken too seriously and are only added for interest sakes.
Though some folks don't care for this benchmark program, we will include it for the sake of an overall testing suite. Given that all three cards are ATI based, any slanted results should still remain consistent throughout the tests run.
Our results in the 3DMark03 utility showed a bit more performance hit between the mid-range board and the high-end competitors, but the results are still at a level that make it hard to overlook a video board that is under half the cost of these other monsters. We see a 20% lower performance level compared to the 9700 Pro and about a 29% lower score with the 9800 Pro.

Mixed Emotions
Beyond Fear and Hatred in International Conflict
232 pages
6 x 9
© 2014
In recent years, it's become increasingly clear that emotion plays a central role in global politics. For example, people readily care about acts of terrorism and humanitarian crises because they appeal to our compassion for human suffering. These struggles also command attention where social interactions have the power to produce or intensify the emotional responses of those who participate in them.
From passionate protests to poignant speeches, Andrew A. G. Ross analyzes high-emotion events with an eye to how they shape public sentiment and finds that there is no single answer. The politically powerful play to the public's emotions to advance their political aims, and such appeals to emotion also often serve to sustain existing values and institutions. But the affective dimension can produce profound change, particularly when a struggle in the present can be shown to line up with emotionally resonant events from the past. Extending his findings to well-studied conflicts, including the War on Terror and the violence in Rwanda and the Balkans, Ross identifies important sites of emotional impact missed by earlier research focused on identities and interests.
Janice Gross Stein, University of Toronto
"This is a big, bold book on an important subject. Andrew A. G. Ross advances novel arguments about emotion as a social process and illustrates his argument through three fascinating case studies. The big picture he draws is compelling and raises large, important questions about how we currently understand global politics. Potentially pathbreaking, the book opens a new field of inquiry which scholars in the field are just beginning to explore in a systematic way."
Nicholas Onuf, Florida International University
"In this engrossing, utterly persuasive study, Andrew A. G. Ross elucidates a political theory of mixed and fluid emotions. From mirror neurons to collective agency, from microsociology to mass media, he shows how emotions not only suffuse social life in every conceivable setting but also unsettle it in politically significant ways. With Ross's help, students of social construction can finally move beyond language and identity to processes of embodied interaction."
Roland Bleiker, University of Queensland
"Mixed Emotions makes a pathbreaking contribution to an increasingly important scholarly debate: the study of emotions in international politics. Drawing on case studies that range from protest movements to terrorism and from ethnic conflict to transitional justice, Andrew A. G. Ross convincingly reveals how the 'circulation of affect' spreads collective emotions over time and across spatial boundaries."
LSE Review of Books
"A needed challenge to the rationalist perspective of much of IR theory, one which takes the potential of emotions seriously. [Ross] paints emotions not as the unreliable contaminants of Enlightenment thought, but rather as creative forces with the potential to inspire, heal, and forge movements for change through what he calls collective agency. It is also anti-essentialist: by theorizing ways that interactions and connections can happen across demographics, groups, and spaces, Ross enables us to look at conflicts like those in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia without relying on static understandings of ethnicity and identity. Scholars and practitioners of transitional justice, as well as IR theorists, should find this book very useful and interesting."
Times Higher Education
"Ross's examination of what he describes as the 'neuropolitics of incitement' produces some of this book's most insightful and interesting passages."
"Ross's book is an absolute must-read for students, scholars, and foreign policy practitioners. . . . Mixed Emotions thoroughly and clearly recasts the concept of agency for IR theory. . . Ross aims to reconceptualize this fundamental concept to reveal how emotions lie 'at the heart of political practice in the modern world.' Attempting to revolutionize an academic discipline's understanding of a concept as fundamental as agency to IR has the potential to be a momentous and unwieldy task. However, Ross effectively does so in just 162 pages."
Theory & Event
"Mixed Emotions showcases in-depth and wide-ranging thinking about emotions and the work they do. . . . [Ross's book] deserves an important place in the body of scholarship that is increasingly putting emotions on the map of mainstream political science."
International Affairs
"Drawing from the Rwandan genocide, the conflict on the Balkans, and the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United State, Ross outlines an original and convincing argument for why emotional politics is an area that deserves further attention."

The People And Places Behind 7 Iconic Studio Logos
Cinematic Listology By David Christopher Bell on May 23, 2013 | Comments (2)We are guaranteed to see them before every film, most of them we can recall beat by beat with perfect memory. They were made by artists whose names we don't know, and feature mystery figures and unknown places we'll never see in real life. But they were real at some point, and in some cases still are. Here are the people and places behind the studio logos you see every day.
Why Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes Wants to Bring Movies to Your Home Faster (And Why it Might Kill DVD and Blu-ray)
Movie News By Scott Beggs on May 11, 2012 | Comments (2)On Charlie Rose last night, Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes explained his desire to shorten the time between theatrical releases and home entertainment availability. His reason? It's great for everyone ever. It makes sense that Time Warner (which owns New Line, Warner Bros., HBO, DC Comics, Castle Rock Entertainment, and other media ventures) would want to shorten the window. Bewkes evoked the dreaded P-word in his initial rationale for getting movies to television screens sooner, but he also recognized that there's an audience beyond pirates that wants to have home-viewing options. "Everyone in the business, including theater owners, has an interest," said Bewkes. But what exactly is in the theater owners' best interest? And what will broadband bundled with shorter waiting periods mean for DVD and Blu-ray?

Common name | Koobface |
Aliases |
Classification | Unknown |
Type | Computer worm |
Subtype | Malware |
Point of Origin | Russia |
Koobface is a multi-platform computer worm that originally targeted users of the networking websites like Facebook, Skype, Yahoo Messenger and email websites such as GMail, Yahoo Mail, and AOL Mail.[1]), MySpace,[2] hi5, Bebo, Friendster and Twitter.[3] Koobface is designed by the attackers so that they can easily infect a user's complete network including, Mac operating system and your whole WIFI network and connected devices, This infection is a security risk and should be removed from your network.[4][5][6]
Koobface ultimately attempts, upon successful infection, to gather login information for FTP sites, Facebook, Skype, and other social media platforms, and any sensitive financial data as well.[7] It then uses compromised computers to build a peer-to-peer botnet. A compromised computer contacts other compromised computers to receive commands in a peer-to-peer fashion. The botnet is used to install additional pay-per-install malware on the compromised computer and hijack search queries to display advertisements. Its peer-to-peer topology is also used to show fake messages to other users for the purpose of expanding the botnet.[8] It was first detected in December 2008 and a more potent version appeared in March 2009.[9] A study by the Information Warfare Monitor, a joint collaboration from SecDev Group and the Citizen Lab in the Munk School of Global Affairs at the University of Toronto, has revealed that the operators of this scheme have generated over $2 million in revenue from June 2009 to June 2010.[7]
Koobface originally spread by delivering Facebook messages to people who are 'friends' of a Facebook user whose computer had already been infected. Upon receipt, the message directs the recipients to a third-party website (or another Koobface infected PC), where they are prompted to download what is purported to be an update of the Adobe Flash player. If they download and execute the file, Koobface can infect their system. It can then commandeer the computer's search engine use and direct it to contaminated websites. There can also be links to the third-party website on the Facebook wall of the friend the message came from sometimes having comments like LOL or YOUTUBE. If the link is opened the trojan virus will infect the computer and the PC will become a Zombie or Host Computer.
Among the components downloaded by Koobface are a DNS filter program that blocks access to well known security websites and a proxy tool that enables the attackers to abuse the infected PC. At one time the Koobface gang also used Limbo, a password stealing program.
Several variants of the worm have been identified:
- Worm:Win32/Koobface.gen!F[10]
- Net-Worm.Win32.Koobface.a, which attacks MySpace
- Net-Worm.Win32.Koobface.b, which attacks Facebook[11]
- WORM_KOOBFACE.DC, which attacks Twitter[12]
- W32/Koobfa-Gen, which attacks Facebook, MySpace, hi5, Bebo, Friendster, myYearbook, Tagged, Netlog, Badoo and fubar[13][14]
- W32.Koobface.D[15]
- OSX/Koobface.A, a Mac version which spreads via social networks such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter.[16]
In January 2012, the New York Times reported[17] that Facebook was planning to share information about the Koobface gang, and name those it believed were responsible. Investigations by German researcher Jan Droemer[18] and the University of Alabama at Birmingham's Center for Information Assurance and Joint Forensics Research[19] were said to have helped uncover the identities of those responsible.
Facebook finally revealed the names of the suspects behind the worm on January 17, 2012. They include Stanislav Avdeyko (leDed), Alexander Koltyshev (Floppy), Anton Korotchenko (KrotReal), Roman P. Koturbach (PoMuc), Svyatoslav E. Polichuck (PsViat and PsycoMan). They are based in St. Petersburg, Russia. The group is sometimes referred to as Ali Baba & 4 with Stanislav Avdeyko as the leader.[20] The investigation also connected Avdeyko with CoolWebSearch spyware.[18]
Hoax warnings[edit]
The Koobface threat is also the subject of many hoax warnings designed to trick social networking users into spreading misinformation across the Internet. Various anti-scam websites such as Snopes.com and ThatsNonsense.com have recorded many instances where alarmist messages designed to fool and panic Facebook users have begun to circulate prolifically using the widely publicized Koobface threat as bait.[21][22] The "Barack Obama-Clinton Scandal" hoax which was popular in 2010 is an example.
Other misconceptions have spread regarding the Koobface threat, including the false assertion that accepting "hackers" as Facebook friends will infect a victim's computer with Koobface, or that Facebook applications are themselves Koobface threats. These claims are untrue. Other rumours assert that Koobface is much more dangerous than other examples of malware and has the ability to delete all of your computer files and "burn your hard disk." However, these rumours are inspired by earlier fake virus warning hoaxes and remain false.[21]

Bayer is a global enterprise with core competencies in the fields of health care, agriculture and high-tech polymer materials.
Innovation plays an important role in overcoming global challenges and is a key driver of future growth at Bayer.
With our distinctive knowledge of people, animals, plants and materials, we intend to focus in future on the areas of health care, nutrition and high-tech polymer materials.
Read more about our economic, ecological and social challenges and opportunities.
This area provides news, videos and publications, as well as overviews of social media channels and mobile apps of the Bayer Group.
We want to create value for our shareholders through innovation, growth and high earning power.
Looking for a job in an innovative company? Learn more about Bayer and the opportunities available.
In our mission statement, "Bayer: Science For A Better Life", we define our role as a good and responsible corporate citizen. In keeping with the principles of sustainable development, we strive to balance economic, ecological and social benefits with each other through our activities.
Bayer also wants to meet its responsibilities in matters of climate change. We take climate change as an environmental and economic challenge seriously. It affects the foundations of our commercial activity. On the one hand, endeavors in the field of environmental protection have to be strengthened. On the other, greater attention needs to be paid to innovative solutions to deal with the consequences of climate change. Bayer intends to make specific contributions to both. Our starting point is a favorable one. Bayer has already been recognized internationally as "best-in-class" in environmental protection and as a leading company in its sector. In production, we have been able to increase energy efficiency in recent years through technological innovations and have significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, Bayer products make a direct contribution to saving energy and conserving resources in our daily lives, for example in the form of insulating materials. We intend to intensify our efforts even further. We have set ourselves the following climate objectives:
We are continuously working on minimizing our own carbon footprint by improving operational efficiency as well as our customers' carbon footprint by providing market solutions. Our efforts to reduce emissions cover all operations. When it comes to our production sites, we have already made great progress: Between 1990 and 2005, we cut our greenhouse gas emissions by more than a third, primarily as a result of improved energy efficiency through improved technologies, new chemical processes and the application of approaches like our Bayer Climate Check and our innovative energy management system STRUCTese. Our activities in production are supplemented by supporting initiatives in sales (e.g., improved car fleet) and administration (e.g., substitution of business travel by videoconferencing and initiatives like Bayer Green Office and Green Data Center). By introducing this Climate Program, Bayer already reduced its specific emissions by around 18 percent between 2005 and the end of 2013. We have therefore achieved our ambitious medium-term targets. By implementing energy management systems and investing in energy efficiency measures we have also improved the Group's energy efficiency by around 18 percent over the same period as planned.
As part of our new package of targets, the existing emissions reduction target will be raised slightly and relate to a more recent base year. This new, ambitious emissions reduction target will be supplemented by an energy efficiency target. Between 2012 and 2020, Bayer intends to cut its specific greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent and improve its energy efficiency by 10 percent.
In many different ways, our products play their part in saving energy and conserving resources. Examples are our polyurethane materials for insulation and our polycarbonate products for lightweight solutions in mobility. With its EcoCommercial Building Program, Bayer integrates all players in building construction and promotes the use of construction material to further reduce emissions. As an innovator company, we have initiated various research and development projects to develop new solutions. Our project portfolio covers solutions for climate mitigation – e.g., a technology that improves energy efficiency in chlorine production by 30 to 50 percent – as well as solutions for climate adaptation – e.g., the development of stress tolerant plants that can better adapt to changing climate conditions.
Climate change is an enormous challenge that no player can tackle alone. We believe that high-profile partnerships are required to improve impact. Therefore we have joined forces with institutions like the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) to promote environmental awareness, the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), Philippines, to research environmentally sustainable rice production and the Innovative Vector Control Consortium to improve vector control. We have also entered into research and development partnerships with leading academic institutions and private sector companies to further develop solutions for climate mitigation and adaptation. All in all, we want to use our commitment to environmental protection to develop more solutions and win-win situations to help us deal with the challenges the future will bring – a goal that is true to our Mission Statement "Bayer: Science For A Better Life".

Right at the tail end of 2014, Google rolled out the newest Penguin update, leading to a lot of panic and then a lot of relief. The update was the first after a year of silence, and it turned heads as many people feared it would be a major shakeup to the world of SEO.
As it turned out, this Penguin update was actually very minor, affecting a small subset of English queries. It wasn't an algorithmic update at all; in fact, it was just a data refresh. Some sites, previously penalized by Penguin, saw their rankings return at long last. Others saw fresh penalties applied, perhaps for the first time. Nothing changed in the back end about how Google interprets the data; all that changed was an update to the data being interpreted.
This lets us lead into 2015 with a relatively fresh start. A data update has just been completed, the first in a long time. What does the future hold?
Too Much Anticipation
The very first Penguin algorithm was a massive shakeup to the world of SEO. It was a huge, industry-shaking change to how links were calculated, and it meant the value of backlink building and guest posting was nearly destroyed. Subsequent updates, however, have been something of a wash.
What I mean is…

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
"Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" | |
Roud #7666 | |
Lyrics by | Jane Taylor |
Published | 1806 |
Written | England |
Language | English |
Form | Nursery rhyme |
"Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" is a popular English lullaby. The lyrics are from an early 19th-century English poem, "The Star" by Jane Taylor. The poem, which is in couplet form, was first published in 1806 in Rhymes for the Nursery, a collection of poems by Taylor and her sister Ann. It is sung to the tune of the French melody "Ah! vous dirais-je, Maman", which was published in 1761 and later arranged by Mozart for a famous set of variations.[1] The English lyrics have six stanzas, although only the first is widely known. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 7666.
The English lyrics were first written as a poem by Jane Taylor (1783–1824)[2] and published with the title "The Star" in Rhymes for the Nursery by Jane and her sister Ann Taylor (1782-1866) in London in 1806.[3]

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Then the traveller in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye,
'Till the sun is in the sky.
As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveller in the dark.
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
How I wonder what you are.
How I wonder what you are.

Many songs in various languages have been based on the "Ah! vous dirais-je, Maman" melody. In English, "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", the "Alphabet Song", and a variant of it is used for "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep". It is also the basis of the Scots song "Coulter's Candy"[citation needed] and "What a Wonderful World".
The German Christmas carol "Morgen kommt der Weihnachtsmann", with words by Hoffmann von Fallersleben, also uses the melody, as does the Hungarian Christmas carol "Hull a pelyhes fehér hó", the Dutch "Altijd is Kortjakje ziek", the Spanish "Campanita del Lugar," and the Turkish "Daha Dün Annemizin."
Several classical compositions have been inspired by this tune:
- Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach, Variations on "Ah vous dirais-je Maman" in G major (Wf XII: 2) (BR A 45) (1st publ. ca. 1880)
- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Variations on "Ah vous dirais-je, Maman" (K. 265 / K. 300e) (1781 or 1782)
- Joseph Haydn, Andante of the 94th symphony, first performed in 1792
- Adolphe Adam, Bravura Variations from the opera Le toréador (1849)
- Camille Saint-Saëns, The Carnival of the Animals (1886), 12th movement (Fossiles) quotes the tune
- Ernő Dohnányi, Variations on a Nursery Tune, op.25 (1914)
- Erwin Schulhoff, Ten Variations on "Ah! vous dirais-je, Maman" and Fugue
- John Corigliano, The Mannheim Rocket
- Franz Liszt, Album Leaf: "Ah! vous dirais-je, Maman" (1833) (S.163b)
- Theodor von Schacht, 3rd movement (Allegretto con variazioni) of his clarinet concerto in B flat major
- Johann Christian Heinrich Rinck, Variations and finale for organ on "Ah! vous dirais-je, Maman", op. 90 (pub. 1828)
- Jean-Baptiste Cardon (hu) (1760–1803), Variations for harp on "Ah! vous dirais-je, Maman"
First appearances of the melody and the original French text version[edit]
The original French rhyme Ah! vous dirais-je, Maman, was far from a children's rhyme. Apparently it originated in the first half of the 18th century. As there was no published version of the text before 1774, several slightly differing versions of what could have been the "original" version exist:
- Ah ! vous dirai-je maman, bergerie (1740).[4]
- Comparing two versions of "La Confidence" with the nursery rhyme version[5]
In these versions a girl confides a secret to her mother: that she has been seduced by "Silvandre". Only in one version cited above did the girl apparently make a narrow escape ("Je m'échappai par bonheur"),[6] in the other versions the girl appears to have been "beaten" by L'Amour ("Love").
As for the history of the melody and the non-nursery rhyme version(s) of the French text:[7][8][citation needed]
- 1761: first publication of the music (without lyrics) of Ah! vous dirais-je, Maman in "Les Amusements d'une Heure et Demy" by Mr. Bouin (Paris), p. 1.
- Around 1765, the words and music appear in a manuscript entitled "Recueil de Chansons" under the title "Le Faux Pas", p. 43.
- 1774: earliest known printed publication of the lyrics together with the music in volume two of "Recueil de Romances" by M.D.L. (De Lusse) published in Brussels, under the title "La confidence naïve" (p. 75).
- Around 1780 (Paris): the words and music appear in sheet music under the title "Les amours de Silvandre"2."
- 1785: First publication of Mozart's Ah! vous dirais-je, Maman variations.
- 1792: First performance of Haydn's Symphony No. 94 ("Surprise") in the Andante
As for the composition date of Mozart's Variations, for a time the variations were thought to have been composed in 1778, while Mozart stayed in Paris from April to September in that year, the assumption being that the melody of a French song could only have been picked up by Mozart while residing in France. For this presumed composition date, in the chronological catalogue of Mozart's compositions the composition was renumbered from K. 265 to K. 300e.[8] Later analysis of Mozart's manuscript of the composition by Wolfgang Plath rather indicated 1781-1782 as the probable composition date.[9]
As nursery rhyme[edit]
- Ah ! Vous dirais-je Maman
- Ce qui cause mon tourment?
- Papa veut que je raisonne
- Comme une grande personne
- Moi je dis que les bonbons
- Valent mieux que la raison.
English translation:
- Oh! Shall I tell you, Mommy
- What is tormenting me?
- Daddy wants me to reason
- Like a grown-up person,
- Me, I say that sweets
- Are worth more than reasoning
The lyrics from "The Star" were first published with the tune in The Singing Master: First Class Tune Book in 1838.[2]
The second two verses have significant changes by 1896, and the rest were lost in Song Stories for the Kindergarten[10] by Mildred J. Hill.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How we wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
When the glorious sun has set,
And the grass with dew is wet,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
When the golden sun doth rise,
Fills with shining light the skies,
Then you fade away from sight,
Shine no more 'till comes the night.
Other text versions[edit]
Lists of miscellaneous information should be avoided. (November 2014) |
The song is a popular target for parodies. "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Bat" is a parody of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" recited by the Hatter during the mad tea-party, in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865). It reads:
- Twinkle, twinkle, little bat!
- How I wonder what you're at!
- Up above the world you fly,
- Like a tea tray in the sky.
- Twinkle, twinkle—[2]
The Hatter is interrupted in his recitation. "The Bat" was the nickname of Professor Bartholomew Price, one of the dons at Oxford, a former teacher of Carroll's and well known to the Liddell family. It is one of the few parodies in the Alice books of which the original is still widely known.
In a Carl Barks "Donald Duck" comic-strip story, Donald is competing with his three nephews, as part of a Junior Woodchucks contest. Donald is challenged to sing a campfire song, and all he can think of is, "Twinkle, twinkle, little starfish,/ How I wonder what you arfish". This is one example where he is beaten by his cleverer nephews.
The Elegants released a single adapted from this song called "Little Star", which made #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1958. In 1962, Alvin and the Chipmunks performed a jazz rendition of the song for their album The Chipmunk Songbook.
An adaptation of the song, named "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Earth", was written by Charles Randolph Grean, Fred Hertz and Leonard Nimoy (Nimoy recites the text as Spock explaining how the star-people wish upon an earth and so forth). It is included on his first 1967 album Leonard Nimoy Presents Mr. Spock's Music From Outer Space.
The song has been quoted by the American hip hop duo DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince on the track, "Twinkle, Twinkle (I'm Not a Star)" from their 1993 final studio album, Code Red.
A version using synonyms from Roget's Thesaurus exists.[11] An anonymous astronomy parody, quoted in Violent Universe by Nigel Calder (BBC, 1969), refers to pulsars and quasars. A different version of this parody attributed to George Gamow and Nigel Calder was published in Galaxies in the Universe: An Introduction by Linda Sparke and John Gallagher (Cambridge University Press, 2000 - ISBN 0-521-59740-4).
The Girl Scouts of the USA placed a full page ad in the 19 March 2006 New York Times containing a version of the rhyme that was "resung by science" as part of their "Girls Go Tech" campaign.[12]
Vashti Bunyan, an English singer-songwriter, composed "Lily Pond" based on this tune. It can be found on her 1970 album Just Another Diamond Day. American singer Elizabeth Mitchell covers the song on her 2006 album You Are My Little Bird.
Video game developer Visceral Games created a version of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" for their 2008 survival-horror video game Dead Space with a sinister and dark theme.

My First Time at Planned Parenthood
As you might have astutely guessed from the title, today was my first time at Planned Parenthood. I've always gotten my birth control from a family doctor, and I've never before had a pregnancy scare, so there wasn't much reason for me to go. (I'm also lucky in that my university provided free STI screenings. Go Pitt!)
But today, I went with a friend. Which actually turned into us eating breakfast in the Planned Parenthood lobby, then taking pee tests together. Pretty sure it's important for me to now say that ain't nothing growing in my uterus.
The women working there were all so sweet and so patient. My friend and I were both nervous and kept fumbling around with our clipboards. It's not that I was embarrassed to be there or nervous about being seen – I was just nervous about getting the results of my test. After we both got our desired results, a woman sat and talked with us about our concerns (like um, where my period is hiding?), and then we were free to stroll pasts the Lifers and their signs on our way out.
Honestly, it was one of the simplest and easiest health care experiences I've had. It's well organized, very secure, and staffed with compassionate people. If for some reason you've been putting off any kind of reproductive health care, GO. It's at least 10x easier and less intimidating than you think.
Regarding the protestors, you actually have a right to a clear pathway to the door of the clinic. If they won't back off, you can call the cops if that's something you feel comfortable doing. I know not everyone can trust their police force, but the option is available. The ones outside today were pretty mild, signs about praying to end abortion. (How about EDUCATE to end abortion? No? Then we're back to square one.)
If you're new to my blog, know that I like to post about things that normally people don't talk about in public. I figure if I talk about it openly, maybe people who need to talk will speak up, whether it's privately to me or publicly within their communities.
Do you have any experiences with Planned Parenthood?
PS: If you're in the Pittsburgh area and need a compassionate and confidential ride to Planned Parenthood, or just someone to listen, email me.

Lavon Kemp, co-owner of the month-old club, said Studio Impact will be featuring positive entertainment, including Christian music, suitable for all ages.
"All different music types and styles are welcome to come perform," said Kemp, a Lee University alumni. "So far we are currently featuring a jazz/alternative night on Thursday evenings and a Christian Hip-Hop night on Saturday nights for those 18 and older. We've had Zero Doubt, Michael Whaley and Bigg Phat Pudder — all hip-hop Christian artists — and Timiethea Delaney, our jazz artist. Everyone in Atlanta and Chattanooga loves her! Now she's making herself known in Cleveland. We also have a teen night once a month."
Kemp, who received her BA in psychology in 2006, and her M.Ed. in school counseling from UTC, Chattanooga this year, said, "The reason I started Studio Impact is because there are so many Christians, young and old, with very little outlets musically besides the church. The Cleveland community is overflowing with musicians and vocalists that serve the Lord and want to sing positive and encouraging music. However, it is not easy finding places to perform their music, let alone support their calling."
The Tucson, Ariz. native said, "I've lived in Cleveland for quite a while and I saw what the Cleveland culture is like — it's very positive, they call it the 'Bible belt,' the churches are awesome — and I felt before I move away I wanted to leave something positive in Cleveland.
"I wanted to do something different because you can go to the churches and, of course, they may have music, plays and a youth group. But when it comes to regular businesses, you don't see a lot of church-owned or church-sponsored businesses where people can come in, hang out, hear music and it's still a positive, Christian environment. So I wanted to start merging that. It seems everything outside of the church is secular. So why don't we have Christian clubs? Why don't we have a place where teens can come once a month and perform music they like, dance and have fun?"
Co-owner Everett Mosley, pastor of Church of Impact, agrees, adding, "We call this 'Studio Impact,' because we wanted to impact the neighborhood. We wanted this to be something people wanted to go to and be excited about. To impact something is to shake something — so we wanted to shake the neighborhood up. We want to bring some new excitement into the community."
Mosley and his wife, Monique, are from New Orleans. The couple relocated their church in Bradley County where they are both working on their double masters at the Pentecostal Theological seminary in Cleveland. In fact, church services are held in the same location as the club on Sunday mornings.
Being an alcohol-free nightclub with a variety of wholesome music to dance to, not only allows the club to promote artists and give them the opportunity to perform before a live audience, but it allows for sharing the message of Christ in the Cleveland community, according to Mosley and Kemp.
"This place is conservative because we're still Christians," Mosley explained. "It's not going to be anything wild. Being Christian-based, a lot of people were excited when they heard about this. It's a new venue that will bring live events to the community and liveliness as well. It brings new blood into the community. New businesses are popping up in the area and we're part of what's happening."
"We want people to feel like they may be somewhere else — like in downtown New Orleans or in downtown Atlanta," Kemp added. "We want to have a little bit of that 'city life' right here in the middle of downtown Cleveland."
Kemp, 28, admits the thing she likes most about the club is that it plays clean music — both secular and Christian.
"It has a little bit of everything for everyone," she said. "Hip-hop, jazz, Latin — anyone can come perform in the club and whatever music style they have — they can perform it. It can be any musical style as long as it's clean. If we had something like this when I went to Lee I would have been here every weekend."
According to Kemp, Impact Studio will be holding "Christian speed dating" at the end of the month, something new the conservative club will be trying and is excited about.
"Teen Night has been a lot of fun," Kemp added. "The parents come in — see it's an OK place, leave their teens and when they return the teens are excited. They've danced. They've jumped around and they had a good time. So we're real excited about our Teen Night as well."
Kemp said the club is also popular to rent for parties because it's a convenient location in downtown Cleveland.
"So far we've had good turnouts," she said. "We have iced coffee, hot coffee, flavored coffee, teas, sodas, ice teas — a lot of drinks. We don't have a kitchen because this is a nightclub. We don't serve food or alcoholic drinks. We do have snacks. Sometimes we'll have gourmet desserts. But for the most part people are hear to dance, mingle and listen to music."
Studio Impact is located at 263 North Ocoee St. in Cleveland. For further information call, 423-380-8088 or visit:www.studioimpact316.com. or www.churchofimpact.org.

[2129] An Informatics Supported Tissue Banking Inventory and Operational System for Anatomic Pathology. Biospecimen Inventory and Operations System (BIOS): An Update
Waqas Amin, Avinash Vemulapalli, Lindsay Mock, Michelle Bisceglia, Rajiv Dhir, Anil V Parwani. University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA; University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, PA
Background: To meet the growing need of annotated biospecimen and manage the daily operation of tissue bank UPMC has developed BIOS that is designed for a high-quality, well annotated biospecimen management for tissue bankers, clinicians and researchers needs. It provides a robust query and management capability that eventually allows biobanker to identify the biospecimens to meet the needs of the research community.
Design: BIOS is a Microsoft. NET web application with s SQL reporting services for adhoc reporting needs. It combines the efforts of tissue collection, patient consents status, billing and data aggregation in one module. It links to Medipac for accurate importing of patient demographics. It also has the functionality to build custom queries and export data into either PDF or excel formats. The system has inbuilt with HIPAA logging functionality with every step logged into database. It provides form based security that is implemented to validate user access to multiple modules. Patient information is de-identified for some user roles and access is maintained through Active Directory.
Results: The BIOS system has been successfully implemented at our institute and is currently being used for the day to day operations of a system-wide tissue bank. It holds 19500 patients and 123732 specimen information. There are 19 active user at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center tissue bank. It provides a central repository for the tissue bankers for tracking and distribution of biospecimens and for robust querying and reporting of biospecimens and associated data to fulfill the requirements of clinical translational researchers.
Conclusions: BIOS in provides a central biorepository to access information on multimodal data sets and the ability for tracking and integration with other limbs of a tissue bank. In addition BIOS provides the tissue bankers with a robust, queryable, and maintainable system that can be integrated with other tissue banking and pathology tools including image and molecular data integration. Furthermore, this model can be successfully deployed at other institutions as well.

It is busy...but not totally nuts. I have found it to be better than Thanksgiving, Christmas and the 4th of July.
The lines blur for Spring Break from early March to this year the end of April for the actual Easter break, so Guests are more scattered about in that month/month and a half.
Bonus many of the dining venues have extended hours as do the parks.
Note: AK no longer is doing extra evening hours.

Award recipients include the Animal Science and Food Science clubs, the Student Organization Resource Development Award winners, recognized for their efforts in support of the Dairy Foundation Campaign for Excellence.
This past October, we celebrated the official installation of Dr. W. Randolph "Randy" Woodson as the 14th chancellor of N.C. State University. In his inaugural remarks, the chancellor defined the role the university will play in the future of the state. "We have a clear understanding of our mission and a passion for fulfilling it," […]
The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences' annual donor recognition event at McKimmon Center was especially festive this year.
The facility that is expected to be N.C. State University's first "green" LEED-certified building will be dedicated Thursday, Jan. 6, but it won't be on campus. The conference center at the Eastern 4-H Educational Center in Tyrrell County is awaiting LEED certification – Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. The new conference center building – with a recreation hall, classrooms and dining room — will be dedicated at 3 p.m.
The endowment is used to support activities of a full professor working in turfgrass management or other areas of innovation in sustainable development in the College.
A state legislator, a county commissioner and a retired Extension-director-turned-community-volunteer were honored Nov. 10 during the joint meeting of the North Carolina Agriculture, Dairy and Tobacco foundations at N.C. State University.
The new endowment will support financial awards and educational opportunities for graduate students enrolled in programs jointly administered by CALS, the College of Natural Resources and the College of Veterinary Medicine at N.C. State.
The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences' annual donor recognition event was especially festive this year for two reasons. First, it wrapped up a week of activities commemorating the Oct. 26 installation of Dr. Randy Woodson as N.C. State University's 14th chancellor. Second, the 2010 CALS Donor Recognition took place on Halloween, adding a holiday ambiance to the occasion.
More than 1,100 CALS alumni and friends celebrated the tradition on Sept. 4, as the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences held its 19th annual football tailgate event at Dorton Arena on the state fairgrounds.
One of our College goals for 2010 is to foster economic vitality by generating and applying science and technology that support robust agricultural and life sciences industries. It is part of our land-grant mandate to conduct programs that undergird the agricultural industry in North Carolina. The pursuit of those efforts is also the College's role […]

Jimmy Carter: North Korean Dictators Deserve Our Respect
No one can completely understand the motivations of the North Koreans, but it is entirely possible that their recent revelation of their uranium enrichment centrifuges and Pyongyang's shelling of a South Korean island Tuesday are designed to remind the world that they deserve respect in negotiations that will shape their future.
With ObamaCare, I thought President Obama took a commanding lead over President Jimmy Carter in the worst-president-in-America-history-contest. However, with the above quote it is apparent the Carter thinks the race is still on.

Central IndianaAbout Our Rescue Group:
www.beaglebuddies.orgWe are a small rescue in Central Indiana using a small network of foster homes. We rescue older adult and senior beagles and work to place in permanent loving homes.
Older adult and senior dogs have an especially hard time finding a loving home when either surrendered to a shelter or found as a stray and turned into animal control. Adults and seniors make the most wonderful pets and companions. They are typically obediant and intelligent and very easy to train using effective consistant interaction. We are committed to finding loving homes for older adults and seniors who are unfortunate enough to find themselves in a shelter homeless in their older years.
Call us about our Seniors for Seniors program with lower adoption fees and additional help and support after adoption.
We do not have a facility and can only take a limited number of dogs into our rescue. We pull from municipal animal facilities where senior dogs are not likely to be adopted before their holding time is up.
We do not accept unwanted pets from owners but will provide guidance via email or phone on how to go about finding a new home for your pet. Please contact us, or your local humane society, before placing your animal as free to good home in any type of classified ad. If you need help with keeping your animal we can give you information about how to overcome issues.

This looks like a decent opportunity to get out of town. Fares as low as $39 and round trip travel is not required. Travel is good through 5/20/09.
London Morning Fog
It is foggy here and so is my brain with the time zone changes. I got upgraded to Biz. Don't ever be afraid to ask. I slept well, ate well and woke up 15 minutes from Heathrow. I made it through customes in a be=reeze. Nobidy even blinks anymnore about quick turnarounds for miles and points. The immagration guy was very impressed with my fare.
I headed to the Star Alliance lounge for a quick shower, shave etc and breakfast in the lounge.
sitting next to me was a Flyertalk tag from Dave who I met last year while Katy and I were on our way to Hawaii. Dave was doing the same cheapie mileage run but starting in Miami. He is off to his gate early to try for the bump or upgrade on his flight.
I'll be in the back of the bus on the return as I'll save my SWU for a real double EQM trip, but with the RTW itin coming up, I'm not going to have much time to cash in. We leave in ten days and it doesn't end until June 6th. That only leaves 9 days after our RTW to double up.
Ah the turmoils of being a travel junkie.
