I have a few plum and peach trees purchased in Lowes and home depot 6 years ago. The Plums are "Santa Rosa" and "Burbank". The peaches are "Hale Haven" and "Elberta". They are semi-dwarf. Is there any way to determine what Rootstock they are grafted on? Specifically, I would like to know if the rootstocks are peach or plum. the specific variety is not important. |

The only way I know of is to contact Home Depot and Lowe's, and ask who they buy their bare root trees from. Then, contact those growers to ask what semi-dward rootstocks they use for their trees that they sell to the big box stores. Patty S. |

thank you.I believe that when the trees were purchased, we asked the salesman in Lowes regarding the nursery where the trees were grown and he had no clue. Do you know of any physical signs to differentiate peach from plum rootstock? |

I swear every tag says "semi dwarf"...i wonder if its just a generic label they put out and the roots could be anything (seedlings)>??? I know i have some 7 year old WalMart apples on "semidwarf" and while pruned hard, are still very big trees. |

I wrote a huge post and gardenweb blocked me for spam naming a garden site... Anyways... Lakewood: I was ready to make the same mistake you did until I realized I can get better quality trees for the same price, and actually know what I'm getting! Matter a fact, I was just at home depot yesterday, not for fruit trees, but if course I had to take a run to look at them! The employees knew exactly were they got them from, a local nursery... Icalled a different home depot to double check, and same answer.. That being said, even if you did run down the nursery and they gave you an answer, I still wouldn't be to sure... I just don't understand why they don't label rootstock, at least species look you're saying... I think to get around patents and not pay for expensive stock... Least you only bought a couple trees an know better next time! How are your trees growing? Best of luck, |
frank, Ed Laivo, who was one of the propagators/horticulturists at Dave Wilson Nursery, had a really good article, years ago, on rootstocks. "Dwarf Tree? But, it's so BIG!!!" or something like that... It pointed out, as most of us here know, that there's nothing magical about rootstocks and size control - they don't just stop the tree from growing when it reaches 6-8-610-12-18 feet - YOU, ultimately, are responsible for how big or small your tree is - they grow until they die; prune, prune, prune. One thing Ed pointed out, is that the terms dwarf, semi-dwarf, standard, don't mean much to most folks - or if they do, they don't fully grasp the concept. For example, if the 'semi-dwarf' tag says, " tree will be 12-18 ft", how many folks realize, that that's potentially as tall as a 2-story home? Or, that the apple on 'standard' rootstock should come with a tag reading "May become as large as an apartment complex, please purchase additional property." |

Joe, Trees are doing great . They are large and healthy. One of the Semi-dwarf santa rosa plums is 16 foot high. I have yet to harvest edible fruit from these particular trees due to brown rot and plum curcilo, but I am well equiped with pesticides this year and hope to get a decent harvest. |

True... only genetic dwarfs (peaches) and some apple rootstocks remain truly "dwarf"... but these apples i have are huge... |

Too Much Sugar May Cause Wrinkles
Posted: November 13, 2007
page 2 of 3
Avoid high fructose corn syrup. This type of sweetener, which is made by changing the sugar in cornstarch to fructose (another form of sugar), is believed to produce more AGEs than other types. Because HFCS extends the shelf life of foods and is sweeter and cheaper than other sugars, it's a popular ingredient in soda, fruit-flavored drinks, and packaged foods such as breads, crackers, and other snacks. You can spot it in ingredient lists on nutrition labels.
2. Supplement your diet with at least 1 mg of vitamins B1 and B6 a day. These vitamins proved to be potent AGE inhibitors in a number of published studies, says David J. Goldberg, MD, a New York City–based dermatologist and a clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. B1 and B6 are plentiful in food, but taking a multivitamin—most of which deliver at least 1 mg of both Bs—ensures you're getting the daily value of 1.1 mg for B1 and 1.3 mg for B6 (1.5 mg after age 50).
3. Wear broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen every day. Significantly more AGEs occur in sun-exposed skin than in protected skin, according to the British Journal of Dermatology study.
4. Employ an inside-outside approach to antioxidants. These free-radical fighters help keep sugar from attaching to proteins, so replenishing their supply—both by eating more antioxidant-rich fruits, nuts, and vegetables, such as cranberries, walnuts, and red bell peppers, and by applying topical antioxidants such as green tea and vitamins C and E—is a real skin saver. "It seems to be the best way to ensure that they reach the dermal layer of skin, where collagen and elastin are located," says Goldberg.
5. Use new ingredients that protect skin from sugar. A growing number of products contain compounds like aminoguanidine and alistin, which have been shown to block the formation of AGEs. "Aminoguanidine attaches to molecules that start the glycation process and prevents them from binding to collagen and elastin," explains Grossman. "Alistin acts as a decoy, so it gets damaged instead of the proteins in your skin." In a study on Prescriptives Anti-AGE Advanced Protection Lotion SPF 25, which contains both ingredients, skin treated with the product had 21% fewer AGEs after 8 weeks than untreated skin. Sweet!

In April 2012, the Associated Press reported that 53 percent of recent college graduates were either unemployed or underemployed, which means that they were working a position that did not require a bachelor's degree—something they'd just spent tens of thousands of dollars securing. The financial burden on new college graduates is staggering. Not only must they now begin paying off their student loan debt, but without grants and loans to sustain them they must also find a job that pays enough to support them. With more than half facing low odds of being able to accomplish all of this, it's not surprising that so many are looking abroad for job opportunities.
The International Job Market
The U.S. Census Bureau doesn't currently track the number of Americans living and working abroad. That makes it difficult to get a handle on just how many job opportunities there are. A 2009 Newsweek article found that about 25 percent of recent Wharton MBAs were working abroad, a 9 percent increase from a few years earlier. That may not give us concrete numbers but it certainly indicates that going abroad is a popular option, in part thanks to the increase in international job opportunities.
In a 2012 Chicago Tribune article about the global job hunt for college graduates, an expansion of English lessons in primary schools all over the globe was mentioned as causing an aggressive need for ESL instructors, making teachers of English one of the most in-demand jobs globally. In fact, one website, which offers to match potential teachers with jobs, lists anywhere from 700 to 1000 ESL job openings each month, but that's not the only industry experiencing growth. From tourism to transportation, technology and finance, industries all over the globe are on the rise—even in some extremely unexpected areas. According to Business Day Live, Sub-Saharan Africa is the home of one of the fastest growing mobile markets having had, since the year 2000, an annual growth rate of 40 percent.
It's Not Just About Jobs—It's About Spending
While a job is obviously going to help any recent college graduate support himself and begin paying off debt, that's not the only benefit being provided from broadening focus to international employment opportunities. The aggressively reduced cost of living in some areas can cut a graduate's monthly bills so much they may be able to get out of debt faster than their U.S.-employed equivalents. But an international worker can only get out of debt if she maintains an equivalent lifestyle to the one she'd have at home, so that the difference between the cost can be applied to paying off debt. Unfortunately, some college grads working abroad give in to the allure of living a swanky lifestyle at the same cost they'd live their normal lifestyle at home, thereby netting no savings for cost of living and making no big dent in their debt.
Not an Easy Road, Just a Different One
It's not easy for everyone to move away from their social network and family to another country where they may not even have a firm grasp on the language spoken. And just because you get a job, that doesn't mean you'll actually like the work you have to do. While some graduates are lucky enough to love every aspect of their move, there's no guarantee that you'll feel the same way which is why it's important to have a plan to maximize the benefits of living and working abroad.
Having the international job on your resume can improve your chances of finding employment once you come back to the states, but it's not a guarantee which is why having a plan to pay off debt and save money by exploiting the difference in the cost of living is vital since that could create an adequate cushion for you to find a job stateside once your international contract is over.
You must also consider the need for proper insurance while you're abroad. That doesn't just mean health insurance, but also international life insurance. International life insurance is especially important for those individuals who had their parents or other family members cosign on student loans or auto loans since that debt doesn't get erased after your death.

Fish, Water Temperature and Oxygen
Name: Brooke Status: student Grade: 6-8 Location: MS Date: January 2008
Do fish breathe better in hot or cold water and why?
If a fish can get enough oxygen to live, then it can breathe well enough. Having "more" oxygen isn't necessarily "better." There are fishes that live in hot water, cold water, and everything in between. Some need a lot of oxygen, some don't. Cold water can carry more oxygen, but that doesn't mean it's better for fishes.
Even though "more" oxygen isn't necessarily "better", there are some factors that affect how much oxygen is available to a fish, so I'll share a few more tidbits:
First, is the maximum amount of oxygen that can dissolve in the water. For both salt and fresh water, oxygen solubility (solubility is the word we use for the maximum amount that can dissolve) increases in colder water. Hotter water cannot hold as much oxygen as colder water. Having more oxygen in the water may help a fish to breathe more. As a side note, this is considered 'weird' -- usually, hotter things dissolve better, but the opposite is true for gases. Gases tend to dissolve more easily in liquids when they're cold, but solids tend to dissolve more easily in liquids when they're hot.
Second, is the amount of oxygen that's actually in the water. At the surface, air can exchange into water easily, and the water right at the surface will be at (or close) to the maximum. However, as you go deeper, the amount of oxygen decreases below the maximum. This is because fish or chemical reactions in the water use the oxygen, or currents in the water carry oxygen-rich water away and leave oxygen-poor water. All of these factors can make a fish unable to get as much oxygen as it might need.
Third, are various biological factors such as how well-suited for various temperatures a given fish is. Some fishes prefer cold water, while others prefer warm. Some fishes actually do better in oxygen-poor water, while others prefer oxygen-rich water. Also, various impurities in water can prevent fishes from breathing -- for example, some kinds of chemicals bind to gills and stop them from working. I am very much not a fish biology expert, so I won't spend much time on this, but all of these can influence a fish's ability to get as much oxygen as it needs.
So overall, the answer depends on the fish and where it is, but cold water can hold more oxygen than hot water can.
Hope this helps,

Candy Girls: Bologna Bubble Gum
Categories: Cafe Society
Liz Kellermeyer |
There are just so many perplexing aspects to this item. Is there a
demand for lunchmeat-shaped gum? Where, exactly, is this Department of Bubble Gum
headquartered? Was this really a byproduct of another gum treat gone awry, or
did someone specifically set out to make bologna bubble gum?
We found this particular package at the Walgreens at 120 Broadway,
nestled below the gummy hamburgers and next to a package of hot dog gum.
Of course, we could not resist. Some internet searching tells us the gum
debuted in 2007, with the catchy phrase "Blow Your Lunch!" sprawled across
the front.
Removing this line was a smart move as far as we're concerned, moving the product
from the "edible snot" category into the "what the what?!" category. And
without the added information that the gum is fruit-flavored, the customer is
left in a world where the gum could conceivably be bologna-flavored.
For better or for worse, this is primarily a treat to be enjoyed by the
eyes. The mouth...not so much. We bit in expecting the standard pink
bubble gum show: a little brittle and chalky, super sweet quickly giving way to
flavorless blob. However, the powder covering the bologna gum (the ingredients
list contains corn starch and talcum powder) is oddly bitter. The gum itself
is more tangy than you'd expect, but the bitterness persists long after we thought
it should have dissolved into the nothing flavor of real bubble gum. To whom do you report failings in the Department of Bubble Gum?
Liz Kellermeyer |
Would we finish the package? So much bitter bologna bubble gum....
Would we buy again? It's too funny to resist! Will probably make guest
appearances in future gift bags and prize packages.

American Standard Version (ASV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Now all the publicans and sinners were drawing near unto him to hear him. | 1 Now the tax collectors and "sinners" were all gathering around to hear him. |
2 And both the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. | 2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them." |
3 And he spake unto them this parable, saying, | 3 Then Jesus told them this parable: |
4 What man of you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? | 4 "Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? |
5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. | 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders |
6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and his neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost. | 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' |
7 I say unto you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, [more] than over ninety and nine righteous persons, who need no repentance. | 7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. |
8 Or what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she find it? | 8 "Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Does she not light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? |
9 And when she hath found it, she calleth together her friends and neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I had lost. | 9 And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.' |
10 Even so, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. | 10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents." |
11 And he said, A certain man had two sons: | 11 Jesus continued: "There was a man who had two sons. |
12 and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of [thy] substance that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. | 12 The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them. |
13 And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together and took his journey into a far country; and there he wasted his substance with riotous living. | 13 "Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. |
14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that country; and he began to be in want. | 14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. |
15 And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. | 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. |
16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. | 16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything. |
17 But when he came to himself he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish here with hunger! | 17 "When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! |
18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight: | 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. |
19 I am no more worthy to be called your son: make me as one of thy hired servants. | 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men.' |
20 And he arose, and came to his father. But while he was yet afar off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. | 20 So he got up and went to his father. "But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. |
21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight: I am no more worthy to be called thy son. | 21 "The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. ' |
22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth quickly the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: | 22 "But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. |
23 and bring the fatted calf, [and] kill it, and let us eat, and make merry: | 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. |
24 for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. | 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate. |
25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing. | 25 "Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. |
26 And he called to him one of the servants, and inquired what these things might be. | 26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. |
27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. | 27 'Your brother has come,' he replied, 'and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.' |
28 But he was angry, and would not go in: and his father came out, and entreated him. | 28 "The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. |
29 But he answered and said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, and I never transgressed a commandment of thine; and [yet] thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: | 29 But he answered his father, 'Look! All these years I've been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. |
30 but when this thy son came, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou killedst for him the fatted calf. | 30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!' |
31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that is mine is thine. | 31 " 'My son,' the father said, 'you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. |
32 But it was meet to make merry and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive [again]; and [was] lost, and is found. | 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' " |

What color flowers does Gilbert Nabonnand tend to produce for you? I havent uploaded any pictures to my computer yet -and there haven't been many blooms to capture after pinching off most of the buds- but the band of Gilbert Nabonnand my mother received from Rogue Valley is producing blooms with a red shading on the outer petals and anywhere from orange-pink to "Belinda's Dream-pink" in the center. There is a clear difference between the inner and outer petals. Almost all of the pictures on Help Me Find are very dissimilar to her rose. The description does read Orange-Pink on HMF, but the pictures are almost all a uniform shell-pink or some light/creamy pink. Has Gilbert Nabonnand ever exhibited the tendency to produce red outer petals for you? It's much like the effect of Rosette Delizy's pink outer petals in cooler weather. We're interested to read your experiences. Thanks for your help as always. I'll get a picture up soon. Jay |

Hi Jay. I bought my G. Nabonnand last summer from RU. I've included a link of how it looked in August as I didn't see the bloom in cooler temps. It is budded now and definitely has a deep pink bud...I will get a photo up as soon as it blooms. Susan |

Yep, that's what my blooms usually look like, but lighter the hotter and sunnier it is. I don't think they've ever been darker than the pic Susan posted. (I've only had mine a year though, so not a long history to speak from). |

I think there is a strong chance that Rogue Valley accidentally sent General Gallieni as opposed to Gilbert Nabonnand. The color of GG on HMF is very similar to the rose my mom has, it is alphabetically close to GIlbert Nabonnand amongst Rogue Valley's teas, and its foliage looks very similar to the photos of GG on HMF as well. I'll contact them about a possible mix up. It seems unlikely the rose we have is Gilbert Nabonnand, and it would be unlikely that they have Souvenir de Gilbert Nabonnand. It is most likely the General. How is General Gallieni in a coastal setting, Jeri? I think I've read posts where you mentioned it did well for you. Do you have a feel for its mature size? Jay |

There are several ways you can apply for a loan.
Thanks for your help throughout this mortgage process. I really appreciated how easily I could get a hold of you and how promptly you returned calls. I was a bit skeptical about doing it all via the internet, but it turned out well. The closing went fine yesterday, and I pick up my check on Friday. Kay D., Colorado

This is a nice, mild toner, similar to Sisley Floral Toning Lotion (alcohol-free)- but Sisley's is better (and much more expensive, of course). Pleasant on the skin, especially in winter when the skin is drier, more dehydrated and more sensitive than usual. Anyway, it is not a HG and I will continue to "check" other toners.
I think this is a great toner - tones down redness and provides a good base for moisturiser and then make up application. I tried this and the hydrating toner and this wins hands down for my sensitive and often dry skin. It is alcohol free so you don't get that product evaporating feeling which I hate but this just feels very comfortable on me.
I like this toner. However, I think after I finish it (I'm already about halfway done) I think I'm going to go search for a new toner. Not that I don't like it, it's just I like trying new things. I bought this Toner with "Precision Systeme Hydratation La Creme nourishing cleansing Gel cream rinse off", and I guess it's a nice duo, I just dont see it doing much for my mild acne. The toner has a little tingly feeling, which I love because it makes me feel refreshed && clean.
This is my HG toner. I have been using it, or a version of the soothing toner since I was 12. The Lotion Tendre is perfect, it is soothing, it's scent is soothing. I could not get up in the morning without it. Everytime I try a new toner, I go running back to this one after a day. I have no idea what I would do if Chanel ever discontnues the Lotion Tendre. It became scarce a few years ago and I panicked and stockpiled like a maniac. Luckily it is back and can be found on Chanel's website. If I could keep only one beauty product, this is it.
::: age 29, dehydrated, acne-prone, sensitive skin :::
alcohol free, gentle scent, travel friendly, mild and comfortable toner. I use it to removed facial masque and cleansing cream as well... =D Chanel, I don't understand why must your skincare products include coloring?
even though the price is high, i FINALLY have my HG toner. my skin acts up in the winter, plus i'm pregnant (which also made my skin extra wierd!) and i searched high and low for the perfect toner.
this is it! i LOVE the smell and bought it on impulse when i bought some chanel moisturizer....and i'm glad i did. it is literally SOOTHING....makes my skin comfortable which is just what i wanted.
i could literally bathe in this stuff.
I like this product. I purchased it last month looking for a good toner for my comb/dry skin. I feel it makes my skin feel "comfortable" and that is what I was striving for. Who cares that I spent $35 bucks for something that won't burn off my layers of skin like Clinique's toner!(and clinique isn't that cheap either!!). Very happy w/ Chanel!
As the previous reviewers have written, this is a pricey product, ok. However, this is a very gentle, alcohol-free, toner suited to the most sensitive skin types. On top of that it has a very nice subtle perfume, I really don't know of many toners that have a decent scent. I would definately be buying it again.
A nice toner, albeit too plain for it's price. It is soothing, just like it's claim, it's alcohol-free and it makes my easily-irritated skin feel nice BUT it's too perfumey for my liking. Would consider buying it again if not for it's ridiculously high price. I could easily find a better toner for a much lower cost.

Re-Member brings more than 1,200 volunteers to Pine Ridge each year for week-long working vacations, with an emphasis on cultural exchange. Working with our staff, you will help with various projects across the reservation, while learning about the culture and history of the Lakota people.
With your help we can build relationships, and improve the lives of the Oglala Lakota people living on Pine Ridge Reservation.
To check for availability and sign up for a trip, contact Paula, the Volunteer Trip Coordinator. We'll send you our Reservation Agreement and deposit information while holding your spots for one month.
The total cost for a week-long service-learning trip (Saturday to Friday) is $455.00 for volunteers age 12 and over, and $227.50 for children aged 8-11 during Kids' Week. This fee includes a 4% tax.
All food, housing, and transportation while on the reservation is included during your volunteer trip with Re-Member. However, trip cost does not include your transportation to and from our site, or snack and souvenir items.
Due to the ever-increasing cost of transportation and vehicle maintenance, we were forced to increase our prices - the first increase in several years. We are unhappy with the necessity of having to do this. Unfortunately, if we did not, the number of projects we are able to do in a season, and the services we provide to the Lakota Oyate would be negatively impacted and, obviously, we would prefer that not happen.

The Power of the Mass Media: Newly Discovered Osama bin Laden Cave Video
11:14 pm in Uncategorized by normanb
The Power of the Mass Media: Newly Discovered Osama bin Laden Cave Video — by NormanB ("Deviations from the Norm")
My two-year-old radical political performance art video got "featured" by YouTube this month, the first time that's ever happened. It was suddenly promoted to lots of potential viewers around the globe. Please don't watch it yet. I have a few things to say about it first.
When President Obama claimed in Autumn 2009 that he was empowered to order Premeditated Murder against any Muslim anywhere in the world, pardon himself for the crime(s), and then proceeded doing it in Somalia and Yemen; I was outraged, and ashamed to be an American.
The Muse poured out this poem through me, and by March 2010, I had an event scheduled to raise awareness, and was recording this video, with my videographer and significant other Rachel. Less than three months later, I posted my first blog/Diary here at FireDogLake.com.
This flick's viewership is high for one of my videos. I don't know why it was featured, but there are details and political events that relate. It has all along been viewed in Africa and in many Muslim countries. This month was the anniversary of bin Laden's Murder (that is, the Premeditated Murder ["targeted assassination"] of the person whom Special Forces killed, then claimed was Osama bin Laden, then disposed of the body without verifying who it was).
When I recorded it, President Obama was propagandizing about going after the presumably living Osama bin Laden "in the cave where he lives." Congressman John Murtha had courageously called for investigation of War Crime Atrocities committed by cowardly US Marines in an horrific massacre of defenseless women and children in Iraq. But instead of an investigation, hundreds or perhaps thousands of websites popped up demanding that Murtha be Assassinated for being so disrespectful to the Marines.
Soon, Murtha was rushed to a Military hospital, supposedly for a simple procedure. But instead of the usual simple procedure – the standard and safe laparoscopic surgery – the Military doctor sliced open Murtha's body cavity with a knife and slit his intestine. That killed him. The Military assumed it was an accident. So did the press.
At the same time, ex-Congressman Charlie Wilson dropped dead. Charlie Wilson's War was the book and movie about Representative Wilson's covert program to arm bin Laden in Afghanistan. One Congressman talked too much, and the other knew too much. The Obama Administration, of course, didn't investigate either of the killings, despite the hundreds of death threats from Marines against Murtha immediately before his Murder in Military custody.
Another reason YouTube may have chosen to promote this one at this time is that another video I'm in just soared to about 10,000 hits: A live concert I did a year ago with a couple of friends: President Obama's Primary Democratic challenger and Political Theatre performance artist Vermin Supreme, and legendary Political Prisoner and performance poet John Sinclair – who was imprisoned after his brilliant work at the 1968 Democratic Convention, and finally released [despite his long remaining sentence] when his admirers and fellow pot smokers came out and raised hell – John Lennon and them. (Vermin's popularity may have rubbed off on me: After finishing third in this year's New Hampshire Democratic Primary, Vermin Supreme got millions of views on YouTube in several videos, and toys and sculptures were created in his image in other countries.)
This featuring by YouTube garnered about exactly 20% of the lifetime views for this video. The US views accounted for 53.4% of all views this month. Lifetime, US viewers have watched 51.2% of the showings. Most of this month's 822 views occurred on the day it was featured, the anniversary. President Obama was sure promoting it then, bragging about his anniversary.
So here's the phenomenon: Though I was registered as a Democrat when I recorded it, as an artist I'm more of a revolutionary communist, completely non-commercial, with no incentive for any corporate entity to push it. However, on YouTube I get my message out there anyway, in this case, four thousand times over!
So that you'll fully appreciate the overwhelming extent of exposure YouTube gave my anti-status-quo diatribe, I'm about to get rabelaisian on you, and tell you exactly where it went. It went to 84 nations this month, and 115 total. And it went to Washington, DC, and 45 states this month, and lifetime: All 52 states: The 50 common ones, DC, and the Unknown State.
Of course, we don't know how many of these views were recorded and then shared with people not online, but we do know that lots of the views were in countries where very few people have internet. And since it's gotten popular in Arab countries, we don't know how many of the views are by US intelligence agents monitoring dissent on the web, or trying to tie me to any alleged Terrorists who might listen to my songs.
And we don't know about the Unknown Nations and Unknown States that crop up. That may be when the intelligence monitors are on, not wanting people to know which country or state they're in. And we don't know about the 19 additional views that YouTube chose not to include in its tally of statistics, but my best guess is they went to NSA headquarters, or maybe they just haven't been fully counted yet. And we don't know in which countries this video may be sometimes blocked, or prohibited completely.
Now, you can go ahead and watch the video. After you do, you'll want to dig the lyrics and the footnotes. Here they are: http://my.firedoglake.com/normanb/2010/05/12/bin-laden-vid-pans-civil-war-for-mexican-marijuana-murthas-assassination/
Total views: 4,122 since this video was posted on March 7, 2010: Obama bin Plottin by Norman B ("Deviations from the Norm"): 822 views in the past month, mainly on its big day. Below trace those views to the viewer.
421 viewed it in the United States; 67 in Canada; 62 in California; 31 in Saudi Arabia, Florida, and New York; 24 in Texas; 21 in North Carolina; 20 in Pakistan, and Australia; 18 in New Jersey; 15 in Massachusetts, and the State of Georgia; 14 in Michigan; 13 in Ohio, and Pennsylvania; 11 in Illinois, Washington State, and Indiana; 10 in the Dominican Republic, and Colorado; 9 in Colombia, Indonesia, Nevada, Minnesota, and Louisiana; 8 in Morocco, Algeria, Portugal, Ireland, and Virginia; 7 in Austria, Peru, Germany, Argentina, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Denmark, Arizona, Maryland, Connecticut, and Kentucky; 6 in Chile, New Zealand, and Missouri; 5 in Iraq, Norway, the Unknown Nation, Tennessee, Alabama, and Oregon; 4 in Finland, Belgium, Puerto Rico, Haiti, India, Tunisia, Nigeria, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Hawaii; 3 in Israel, the Ukraine, Greece, Romania, Suriname, Switzerland, Thailand, Singapore, Ethiopia, France, Mexico, Lithuania, Ecuador, Arkansas, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, and Mississippi; 2 in Senegal, Croatia, Estonia, Fiji, the Republic of Georgia, Qatar, Ghana, Tanzania, Russia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Egypt, the Netherlands, Sweden, Poland, Idaho, Vermont, Kansas, the District of Columbia, Oklahoma, and Montana; and 1 viewer is reported to have viewed it this month in the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Spain, Guatemala, Panama, Japan, Nicaragua, Azerbaijan, Serbia, South Africa, Bahrain, the Palestinian Territories, Guam, South Korea, Armenia, Brazil, Libya, Vietnam, Jordan, Guadeloupe, Honduras, the Sudan, Kuwait, Nebraska, South Carolina, the Unknown State, Utah, West Virginia, and Rhode Island.
Not everybody goes for the hype, or even looks in at YouTube. Viewers in the following countries have also watched it, but not when it was so trendy: Malaysia, the Philippines, Kenya, Djibouti, Hong Kong, Oman, Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago, Latvia, Sri Lanka, Yemen, Ecuador, Hungary, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Nepal, Somalia, the Maldives, Malta, Moldova, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Iceland, Slovakia, Cambodia, Costa Rica, Jamaica, El Salvador, and Angola.

Just as the surrounding Theater District transports audiences to faraway places, Brazil Grill's dining room immerses guests in the rich culinary traditions of Brazil. Though it boasts a substantial selection of entrees, the eatery's specialty is radizio, a traditional Brazilian dining style where passadores, or meat servers, present diners with an endless rotation of skewered morsels. Patrons can nosh to their hearts' content on beef, pork, lamb, duck, and the other meats that continually appear tableside during the course of the night. To complement the authentic dishes, servers can also recommend options from the restaurant's selection of wines culled from Chile, Italy, and New Zealand. Most nights, guests eat as they absorb the sounds of live Brazilian music, the play-by-play of Brazilian League soccer matches, or napkins practicing their Portuguese accents.
Brazil Brazil Restaurant spirits diners away from the helter-skelter streets of New York City into a space rife with french doors, exposed brick, and blond hardwood. Its back patio?a white-trellised three-seasons room and kind of solarium?surrounds guests with lush flora and wrought-iron furniture that exudes the feeling of the tropics, with the scents of grilling seafood wafting over the secluded tables.
This spot is one of the best places to relax in the city, with the New York Times even lauding the patio as a ?romantic retreat? and ?an ideal place to escape the city?s rapid pace.? Chefs plate flavorful Brazilian dishes such as wine-marinated shrimp or pan-seared red snapper in mango sauce with sides of yucca and fried bananas. Late in the evenings, a Brazilian band starts serenading guests lounging in the bar?s cushy sofa chairs, creating a festive atmosphere. Located next to a host of Broadway theaters, the bistro is a great pre-show spot for on-the-go eaters.
Wielding knives and sword-like skewers, the servers at Texas de Brazil seem prepared for impromptu duels. However, they only brandish the blades to replenish dinner plates, slicing meat from their spears at the behest of each table. The cuts of steak, lamb, and brazilian sausage are all slow roasted over an open flame in traditional churrascaria fashion—a technique that stems from the campfire meals of Brazilian gauchos, and one that fed the family behind Texas de Brazil during their life in Porto Alegre. In an effort to bring the South American style to the States, they established their first restaurant in Texas, thereby merging down-home charm with Brazilian spice.
Today, Texas de Brazil has expanded to several award-winning locations across the country. Despite the lofty ceilings and chandeliers that characterize their venues, the staff remains rooted in ranchers' habits. They conscientiously grill and season their meat, bake brazilian cheese bread in-house, and pass classic cocktails and loaner saddles over the bar for cowboys who consider chairs unnatural. To complement savory bites, guests can browse more than 50 gourmet sides at the salad bar—a compendium of soups, vegetables, and appetizers such as imported cheeses. They can also ask the resident wine specialist for recommendations on suitable pairings from the cellar.
In Carioca Grill's open kitchen, skewers of sirloin, sausage, and short ribs roast in the fiery churrasco. Steam rises from a nearby buffet, forming stratus clouds above hot dishes including fried yucca and shrimp stew. At the back of the dining area, a cashier weighs fare by the pound after taking off its shoes. Though the restaurant has a minimalist, casual vibe, its food brims with complex flavors and tropical ingredients prevalent in Brazilian cooking.
The chefs' mission at Favela Grill is more challenging than it may seem: take simple ingredients and transform them into the flavorful bites that characterize Brazilian cuisine. To attain this goal, they have spent years playing with combinations that achieve surprising harmony, such as grilled, marinated salmon with a passionfruit reduction and shrimp sautéed in palm oil and flavored with coconut milk. But according to Time Out New York, "it's the beef that lures the crowd," be it served carpaccio style with capers and shredded parmesan or in the Costela Bam-Bam, a signature entree comprising slow-roasted Prime beef ribs served over cassava. In the kitchen, top sirloin, skirt steak, and sausages rotate on spits before being served churrasco style in the romantically lit dining room. While surrounded by colorful paintings, exposed-brick walls, and three-dimensional artwork, diners pair their seafood stews and grilled chicken with Brazil's national cocktail—the caipirinha—or wines from France, Italy, California, Argentina, Chile, and, of course, Brazil. On Fridays and Saturdays, the sound of live Latin-style guitar permeates the room for a bit of authentic flair.
Seen from afar, the food crossing the counter at New York Pão de Queijo might convince you that the bright, tiny storefront is a typical burger-and-shake shack. It's the details that tell you something else is going on—namely, Brazil's wildly creative, colorful take on the American burger and its accessories.
More than 10 beef, veggie, and turkey patties come gussied up with a kitchen sink's worth of fixings, including corn, potato sticks, sausage, house-made Brazilian cheese, banana, and pineapple. Smoothies attempt to balance out the towering feats of indulgence with nutrient-dense combos of papaya, passion fruit, peach, açai, and oats. The kitchen's commitment to snackery is also evident in the signature pão de queijo, a yuca-based bread puff filled with deliquescent cheese. Among other treats, The Daily Meal has praised its traditional bauru ham sandwich and its "great quick snacks" that can easily be downed while playing a typical soccer match.

Once you have an attorney and a mortgage lender, it is time to shop for homeowner's insurance. There are several kinds of insurance that the lender will require you to purchase before closing. Homeowner's or hazard insurance equal to the cost of replacing the entire house protects you and the lender against loss if your house is damaged or destroyed.
A homebuyer's insurance package may also include personal liability insurance (someone else's injury on your property), personal property insurance coverage for loss and damage due to theft and other occurrences and dwelling coverage to protect against loss due to fire, theft, weather and other kinds of damage. Note that homeowner's insurance most often does not include flood insurance. There are also a number of websites with information about how to insure your home - for general information, check out the Insurance Information Institute. Also, be sure to contact your lender about specific requirements for insurance payments.
The following resources may be helpful in finding the best homeowner's insurance rates:

The Raspberry Pi Foundation announced a new product 'the Raspberry Pi Compute Module. It's been more than two years since the first Raspberry Pi was shipped and considering this period orgnisation has done good job.
The new Raspberry Pi Compute Module is based on the SO-DIMM form factor that is popular with DDR2 and DDR3 RAM in many modern laptops, but do not confuse that as being compatible with the SO-DIMM port on your laptop because it is not. The Raspberry Pi foundation says that this new form factor is designed to help makers embed their Raspberry Pi projects into final products.
The compute module contains the guts of a Raspberry Pi (the BCM2835 processor and 512Mbyte of RAM) as well as a 4Gbyte eMMC (MultiMediaCaed) Flash device (which is the equivalent of the SD card in the Pi). This is all integrated on to a small 67.6x30mm board which fits into a standard DDR2 SODIMM connector (the same type of connector as used for laptop memory). The Flash memory is connected directly to the processor on the board, but the remaining processor interfaces are available to the user via the connector pins. You get the full flexibility of the BCM2835 SoC (which means that many more GPIOs and interfaces are available as compared to the Raspberry Pi), and designing the module into a custom system should be relatively straightforward as company have put all the tricky bits onto the module itself.
This board provides both a starting template for those who want to design with the Compute Module, and a quick way to start experimenting with the hardware and building and testing a system before going to the expense of fabricating a custom board.
The Compute Module IO Board is a simple, open-source breakout board that you can plug a Compute Module into. It provides the necessary power to the module, and gives you the ability to program the module's Flash memory, access the processor interfaces in a slightly more friendly and provides the necessary HDMI and USB connectors so that you have an entire system that can boot Raspbian (or the OS of your choice).
The Compute Module is primarily designed for those who are going to create their own PCB. However, to help designers organisation also launching something called the Compute Module IO Board to help designers get started.
[vimeo id="91292623″ mode="normal"]Initially, the Compute Module and IO Board will be available to buy together as the Raspberry Pi Compute Module Development Kit.These kits will be available from RS and element14 some time in June. Shortly after that the Compute Module will be available to buy separately, with a unit cost of around $30 in batches of 100; you will also be able to buy them individually, but the price will be slightly higher.
It relies on a Broadcom ARM processor (the BCM2835) for its computing and this processor is not Open. But Broadcom recently publish an open source version of its graphics driver code and has provided more documentation of the system-on-a-chip's internals for developers.
By bringing this module that is aimed at a whole new class of devices and applications into market the organisation has clearly took a step ahead.

Portuguese Timor-Missing Journalists
Following item was carried on this morning's ABC News:
FRETILIN leaders in Dili have reported that Indonesian armed forces crossed the border into East Timor yesterday and took at least two towns and killed more than forty FRETILIN troops. An ABC reporter in Dili Tony Manati says five Australian newsmen are missing in the region. FRETILIN's Secretary for Foreign Affairs Jose Ramos Horta said in Dili last night that Indonesian forces had swept through the town of Balibo, burning it out and decimating the force of fifty FRETILIN soldiers there.
He said seven soldiers escaped on foot and made it back to Dili last night.
The soldiers said the five Australian television newsmen, three from Channel 7 in Melbourne and two from Channel 9 in Sydney, were caught somewhere in action.
- We understand from Channels 7 and 9 that the five missing T.V. personnel are:
- Greg Shackleton
- Gary Cunningham
- Tony Stewart
- Malcolm Renny
- Brian Peters
- Grateful you make urgent enquiries of the Indonesian authorities as to any information that may be available about these missing persons.

In one glance you can see the wealth of areas like Ipanema or Copacabana and the poverty of the surrounding favelas. It proofs how fascinating Rio de Janeiro can be. Rio will also be the host of the 2016 Olympic Games.
Just one block from Ipanema Beach and within walking distance from Copacabana, this hotel offers a rooftop pool and panoramic views of Rio de Janeiro.
The best areas to stay in Rio de Janeiro are the neighbourhoods of Copacabana or Ipanema. These are the wealthier areas in town and they offer the best shops, restaurants, hotels, gay bars and clubs. And on top, both areas have the most beautiful beaches in town. And Rio summers happen on the beach: just take your towel, your latest Speedo or AussieBum, little money and hit the sand!
Rio de Janeiro is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Rio has quite a vibrant gay life and is famous for the New Years Eve celebrations at the Copacabana beach, the gay beach at Ipanema and of course the Rio Carnival, which is celebrated in the streets and in the massive Sambadrome.
Make sure you book a hotel early. Best as close to the gay area (Ipanema, Copacabana) as possible. Please support our website and book your hotel here!
Hotel suggestions and mapBeware, strangers ! There are ONLY hookers and visitors can't have sex with each other... Pretty disturbing
I am a man want to try a shemale, with a big cock and real boops in Rio next week. Can you help?
Its a big Bar that has a small Club feel. I visited twice during Carnival period, it got busy but not packed. Music was fine. Its ok to be there during week days to enjoy few drinks and watch some shows, coz its worth to spend weekend nights @ The Week (the Greatest Club I bet in South America). After i finished clubbing around 3 I went up to the Le Boy Sauna which you can access from the Bar itself, and again its an average sauna that wasnt so busy, and the crowds were mostly unexperienced very young boys!
The minute I entered, a muscled handsome hottie touched my butt, even before getting to the cashier! So I smiled to him. When I got to the changing room, other gorgeous latinos did similar thing to attract my attention. I took my time to go around. There is a big lounge with bar music tables and drinks, and there were hot boys sitting around an old man drinking. I went to the TV room that's showing straight porno and there were loads of gorgeous boys playing with their huge cocks. I thought i was sitting in Heaven! The guys who sat next to me all tried to get me to take them to a private cabin. It was my first week in Rio (Carnival weekend) so didnt want to pay lot of money in the sauna. I picked up a guy and rented a cabin and b4 starting the action agreed to pay him 80Reals (he said that's a big discount). The cabin i rented was like a hotel room, with huge leather bed a porno channel and ensuit. Its a great safe clean place if your into rent boys but take lot of cash if you want to spend enough time inside and enjoy many of those perfectly sculptured bodies and enermous cocks. It can be very expensive but unique unforgettable experience!!! Cant wait to visit again in 2015!!!
Old but well kept gay sauna. It's clean and there's always someone to have fun with. It's mostly older guys (40s, 50s) but not exclusively. It's a two story building. 1st floor: pool, locker room, bar, toilet, showers, sauna. 2nd floor: private rooms (no additional fee), video room (a small tv), showers, massage rooms. Entrance fee R$ 34

Home › About TU › News, Events and Publications › University News › World-class speakers featured in 2009-10 Presidential Lecture Series
Friday, April 17, 2009
UPDATED: Date added for the Sondheim and Rich presentation.
The 2009-10 Presidential Lecture Series at The University of Tulsa will feature a diverse set of speakers, including the director of the Library of Alexandria, one of the most respected Latin American authors, and a conversation between a legendary Broadway composer and an influential New York Times columnist. Additionally, a noted journalist and Asia observer will present the University's commencement address on May 8.
The following are the scheduled speaker and dates for the 2009-10 Presidential Lecture Series:
The Presidential Lecture Series at TU is presented by the Darcy O'Brien Endowed Chair, which was established to honor the memory of the late TU professor. A Pulitzer Prize-nominated author, scholar and critic, O'Brien was a member of the TU English faculty from 1978 until 1996. O'Brien died in 1998 at the age of 58, and the Darcy O'Brien Endowed Chair was established in 2001.
Journalist and Asia observer Orville Schell will be speaking at TU's commencement ceremony at 10 a.m., May 9, at the Donald W. Reynolds Center. Schell is best known as one of the country's most well informed and thoughtful observers on China. He also been a ship-hand, a war correspondent in Indochina, a rancher, a journalist reporting for such magazines as The New York Times Magazine, Harpers, The New Yorker, TIME, Wired, and Foreign Affairs. He has been a contributor on China for PBS, NBC, and CBS, where a 60 Minutes program of his won an Emmy. He has also served as a correspondent for several PBS/Frontline documentaries on China and Tibet and covered the war in Iraq for The New York Review of Books.
Until recently, Schell served as Dean of the Graduate School of Journalism at UC Berkeley. While he will remain on the UC Berkeley faculty, he has now been appointed as Director of the Asia Society's newly established Center on US-China Relations in New York City. In this new capacity, he will lead new programs on the environment, the media and foreign policy in an effort promote more constructive dialogue between key Chinese and American leaders. He will also be a Fellow at Shorenstein Center at the John F. Kennedy School, Harvard University.
Ismail Serageldin, Director, Library of Alexandria, also chairs the Boards of Directors for each of the BA's affiliated research institutes and museums. He serves as Chair and Member of a number of advisory committees for academic, research, scientific and international institutions and civil society efforts which includes the Institut d'Egypte (Egyptian Academy of Science), TWAS (Academy of Sciences of the Developing World), the Indian National Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the European Academy of Sciences and Arts. He is former Chairman, Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR, 1994-2000), Founder and former Chairman, the Global Water Partnership (GWP, 1996-2000) and the Consultative Group to Assist the Poorest (CGAP), a microfinance program (1995-2000) and was Distinguished Professor at Wageningen University in the Netherlands. Serageldin has also served in a number of capacities at the World Bank, including as Vice President for Environmentally and Socially Sustainable Development (1992-1998), and for Special Programs (1998-2000). He has published over 50 books and monographs and over 200 papers on a variety of topics including biotechnology, rural development, sustainability, and the value of science to society.
Author, statesman and scholar Carlos Fuentes has defined the cultural, emotional and hereditary identity of an entire continent. He is recognized worldwide as one of the greatest literary and political figures of the Spanish-speaking world. Fuentes' novels, including The New York Times bestseller, "The Old Gringo," and the classics "Terra Nostra" and "The Death of Artemio Cruz," look deeply into the identity of Latin America, its internal conflicts and its contentious relationship with the superpower to the north. His nonfiction work and essays also celebrate the rich contributions of Latin culture (including "The Buried Mirror," which became a Discovery Channel series).
He has won Mexico's National Prize in Literature, the Miguel de Cervantes Prize (the highest honor for a Spanish-language writer), France's Legion of Honor and the Four Freedoms Award. He was the first recipient of the Latin Civilization Award presented by the Presidents of Brazil, Mexico and France. He has also served as Director of International Cultural Relations for Mexico's Ministry of Exterior Relations and the Mexican Ambassador to France.
Composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim and New York Times columnist Frank Rich will appear together April 19 at the Reynolds Center for a conversation about the musical arts.
Sondheim is considered the most important artist to work in the American musical theater over the past half-century. He has not only collaborated on more than a dozen landmark shows and written countless standard songs but has also been the single most influential force in bringing the Broadway musical into the modern age. His early work included contributed the lyrics to two classic collaborations with the playwright Arthur Laurents and the director-choreographer Jerome Robbins, for "West Side Story" and "Gypsy," which are now are universally seen as twin pinnacles of the post-war Broadway musical.
Rich serves as an Op-Ed columnist for The New York Times. His weekly 1,500-word essay helped inaugurate the expanded opinion pages that the paper introduced in the Sunday Week in Review section in April 2005. Before writing his column, Mr. Rich served as The Times's chief drama critic beginning in 1980, the year he joined The Times. From 2003 to 2005, Mr. Rich was the front-page columnist for the Sunday Arts & Leisure section as part of that section's redesign and expansion. He also served in an advisory role in the revamping of The Times's daily and Sunday cultural report during that time.

Proposed amendments to the National Health Service Central Register (Scotland) Regulations 2006
The Scottish Government and National Records of Scotland ("NRS") are undertaking a joint consultation on the proposed amendments to the National Health Service Central Register (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The proposals are to enable certain data contained on the National Health Service Central Register ("the NHSCR") to be shared with certain named bodies and for the NHSCR to hold additional postcode data.

Information Security Breaches Survey 2015 is now live
The Government is working to make the UK one of the safest places in the world to do business. As part of this we recognise the importance of obtaining reliable data about information and cyber security breaches and practices. We make this information publicly available so all businesses can benefit from it. I therefore urge you to take the time to complete this survey to enable us all to gain valuable insight to support and guide businesses and Government policy. Thank you very much for your valuable time and input into this survey. Ed Vaizey – Minister of State for Culture and the Digital Economy
Network Neutrality
Network neutrality has been used to describe a number of contentious issues from a commercial, legal, security and operational viewpoint. Generally speaking, it has been taken to mean that any choice of communications service or information technology component does not reduce other choices available to the user for different services or components, and that each choice is treated neutrally by other elements in the end-to-end service continuum. This includes all devices, services, management tools, content and applications, and the sender or receiver IP address.
Mobile Communications: Infrastructure and Services
Mobile communications involves provision of services using wireless transmission.
Ethical Use of Big Data
The opening up of government, corporate and private data as massive online data sources is of great potential value, from apps that show us crime hot spots to databases that enable diseases to be understood and cured and victims of disasters to be located. However, alongside the benefits, there is also the threat of abuses, such as the creation of an infrastructure of permanent surveillance, the discovery of the whereabouts of victims, disclosure of socially stigmatising diseases or conditions or the use of Big Data by fraudsters for targeting victims.
Intellectual Property
BCS understands IT is a key enabler of the digital economy, which describes the exchange of information, goods and services through an information technology platform. The digital economy exists within an international framework of extant commercial and intellectual property (IP) laws and regulation, which often struggle to keep pace with technology change. BCS seeks to ensure everyone benefits from IT and we work to promote wider social and economic progress through the advancement of information technology. In order to achieve these objectives, we recognise the need for a digitally-optimised IP system that is fit for the digital economy.

We have two first year fruit trees that leafed out at the top (they are about 4 ft. tall) & then the leaves dried up & fell off! Trunk has green bark yet but no new leaves/growth. Someone said to try 'smacking' the trunks of the trees to stimulate sap flow ... anyone heard of this? So I go out each day now with a broom handle & 'smack' these two trees ... 'tree abuse'? I may get accused of !!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Only thing you might do is kill spots of bark where you hit the tree. That's a possible entry spot for bacterial canker or similar. It's not going to help IMO. Any chance it's freeze injury? That's what's wrong with my first yr trees. Others are reporting winter cold damage. Basically the area west of Rockies and north of KS/TN/SC. |
I did it on my first avo tree. Helped? I dont know. It certainly didnt seem to hurt it. I did read it somewhare. |
fruitnut: no, these were just planted this spring so frost not the problem. The trees still have some green showing on the trunks but no new leaves where the first ones shriveled & died. Think I heard the 'smacking' might dislodge something blocking the sap... ? |
I have made the mistake in the past of under-watering my young trees.( My pension check still goes directly to the water company)....The result often is the tree goes into a dormant state. |

anyone care to wonder.. what fruit trees.. in what part of NM??? i suspect improper planting.. poor stock.. or improper watering .. and it would be interesting to know if they were planted in the appropriate planting season... as compared to a few weeks ago .... we really dont have many facts here ... if they want to find out why the trees did such ... but.. if all they want to know is about beating on trees ... yes.. i have done it... on trees i think are near death ... no proof of any plus ... as far as the tree goes or went ... and i dont recall which trees ... but i sure felt better about disciplining an underperformer.. lol .. put your seller on notice.. and tell them.. that if they dont releaf.. you will be expecting a refund or replacement in the next PROPER planting season.. whenever that may be for NM ... for most of us.. mail order dormant.. is not a july/august thing.. for sure ... ken |
I didn't make this up, so don't flame me... but there's an old adage that goes... A dog, a wife, a (insert your choice) tree, The more you beat 'em, the better they be. Not sure that there's any science behind it, but I suppose some folks are likening it to old senescent trees being damaged by things as varied as being hit by a car or almost being uprooted by hurricanes, stimulating them to come back into production - almost as if their 'brush with death' causes them to 'flood the market' with fruit/seeds. Don't know that I'd beat my tree with a broomstick - maybe a rolled-up newspaper would still provide enough stimulus, without damaging the bark... I have seen, however, articles suggesting that some folks who turn bowls or do other woodworking with 'figured-grained' woods may sometimes 'create' their own raw materials by systematically beating/damaging young trees to cause irregularities in growth that result in unusual patterns in the wood. |

Last spring my 10-year Hudsons Golden Gem was yet again not fruiting. So I cut a bunch of cuts around the trunk, as much out of anger/frustration as trying to solve anything. This year it has a big load of apples on it for the first time. I think there is some truth to these old stories. Scott |
A bunch of cuts is a lot different than beating the tree. Cuts interupt the flow of sugars/carbs out of the top to the roots. The increased sugars increase fruit bud set. Cuts also heal better than bruises that kill bark. Figs can be induced to set main cut figs by tipping. This also causes a temporary increase in carbos/sugars in the shoots which induces fruit set. Most trees especially stone fruits set better fruit buds if growing with moderate to low vigor than if growing vigorously. Figs are also clearly that way. I got more figs off a 5 gallon pot in 2013 than off the same variety growing rampantly in-ground even thou the in-ground tree was 5 times bigger, 10 times by fall. |
fn, I dunno...can the tree distinguish the difference between cuts and bruises? Both probably result in changes in flow of auxins, carbs, etc. Notching is probably just a bit more in the way of 'fine-tuning' the alterations. |
Hey it's a free country and there are no prison terms for beating your trees. Just don't beat your neighbors trees...oh wait maybe that was neighbors wife....I dunno.....;-) |

Anchorman: The Legend Continues
has added another piece to its casting puzzle with the announcement that James Marsden has signed on to join the production.
Marsden will play an anchor for a rival news broadcaster, with his chiselled good looks making him an obvious nemesis for old-stager Ron Burgundy.
Marsden bagged himself a recurring role in the final two series of
30 Rock
, and from what we've seen of his comic timing in that show, he looks a solid addition to
's growing ensemble.
Kristen Wiig recently signed on to play some love interest for Brick Tamland, while crucially, all the major players from the first movie have agreed to return.
Directed by Adam McKay and co-starring Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, Christina Applegate and David Koechner,
Anchorman: The Legend Continues
will open in the UK on 1 August 2013.

School districts throughout the state are participating in the US Department of Education Enhancing Education Through Technology (EETT) program, which strives to improve student achievement through the use of technology in elementary and secondary schools.
EETT program evaluators at Hezel Associates began activities in Spring 2010 to examine the impact on teachers and students. The study compares changes in instructional practice between teachers who received the new technologies and those who did not. While a final evaluation report will be released in Fall 2011, the interim report reveals promising signs of change.
At the end of the 2009-10 school year, teachers who received the new technology reported an increased frequency of technology use and increased diversity of instructional use when compared to the beginning of the school year. Teachers who received technology reported an increase in their technological abilities, while those teachers who did not receive the technology reported no change from the beginning to end of school year. The positive impact on teachers is expected to also have a positive impact on students. As teachers become more tech-savvy, they will challenge their students to use higher-level thinking skills by engaging them in interactive learning activities.
Through both EETT regular and ARRA grant funds, the New Hampshire Department of Education targeted grants to three technology-focused initiatives beginning in Fall 2009.
The Tech Leader Cohort (TLC) Program provided funding to offer high-quality professional development to school administrators and teachers. A total of 54 school teams from 33 districts participated. Each school team, consisting of two teacher leaders and one supporting principal per school, explored resources and approaches for creating 21st century learning environments that combined face to face learning with online learning.
Classroom Technology Mini-grants were distributed to 35 districts in order to create "exemplary projects" that use technology in core content areas and could be easily shared and replicated. The core content areas include: The Arts, English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, and/or World Languages, and all projects must also address ICT literacy skills. Projects were to be carried out by teams of 2-4 educators from each school, and use project/problem-based learning with a constructivist approach.
ARRA 21st Century Classroom Initiative grants provided funding to 19 districts across the state to purchase and implement new technologies to create 21st century K-12 classrooms.
The following New Hampshire School Districts received funding:

In "Riddle and Mystery," a Tapestry of Faith program
With everything set to go, carve out a meditative moment for yourself. Relax. Take several deep breaths. Reflect on how you find your truths. Do you generally rely on empirical data or a primary source? How much credence do you give your gut feelings about things? Can you compare two answers that both might be true, and sense which one suits you better? Are you comfortable knowing that your own mix of answers to life's big questions may be different from those of close friends, family members and other Unitarian Universalists?
Smile in the knowledge that simply joining your youth in their exploration of life and its mysteries is good and rewarding.

In a rather odd Press Conference in January, Apple brought in the international media to the Guggenheim Museum in New York to announce that they were going to 'reinvent textbooks.' Although an interesting thought, the actual content seemed to me to be rather naive, the textbook industry - and especially the process of textbook adoption at the K-12 level particularly - is very complex and often very political....think of all the ongoing problems with evolution versus creationism? Also the announcement seems premature since there was little to announce - other than Apple would love everyone to get an iPad (and imagine how long these would last in K-12 settings!), though all school systems are cash-strapped today and government data shows that one in five children live in poverty in the U.S. Apple has a long way to go to prove their concept here.
I was able to talk with some very smart people about all of this for a news blog for Information Today's NewsBreaks. Outsell's Kate Worlock was one: "I think that the announcement does more to reinvent business models and practices than it does to reinvent textbooks. The new iBook 2 textbooks, while impressive, aren't terribly different to something you'd see from Inkling or in Nature Education's new Principles of Biology. Of course, iBooks 2 focuses more on K-12, so it's new for that market, but not revolutionary."
What do you think? Am I wrong or missing something here?
