1. Life / Food & Drink / Breads, Cereals, Grains, Pulses & Pasta Real Bread-making Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? Bread made from whole and natural ingredients is a staple food providing integral protein, carbohydrates, and fibre. Mass-produced white bread bought off the shelf does not. Anybody can make a loaf of bread. It is not difficult. Electric breadmakers have simplified the process, but cannot produce a loaf with the individuality and integrity of a handmade one. There are, however, great myths about the process of breadmaking which deter many people from ever trying. The need for sugar, kneading, double-proving and knocking back are all unnecessary complications in what is a simple and satisfying task. Most of the skill of baking is about routine and practice and a refusal to take shortcuts. The ingredients are few in number: just flour, water, salt and yeast. These behave in predictable ways, so if the rules are followed, bread will result. Better bread comes from practice. A Bit of History Not every society in the world grew wheatcorn and its relatives. More people depend upon rice than wheat even today. The whole of North and Central America ran on maize before Europeans arrived. However, for those who lived in the Middle East, northern Asia and Europe, bread was the staple food. It was from these regions that some of the great migrations - of peoples, economic influence and political power - originated. Thus bread spread throughout much of the world. Real Bread or Fast Food Envelope? What is real bread? Its classical authenticity results from organically-grown wheat and fresh stoneground flour, baked in a wood-fired brick oven. Today's real bread is home-baked using the most 'natural' and fresh products available and is made with care. Most people agree that factory bread is bland. Rather than being a taste in itself, bread has become a convenient medium on which to array other flavours. The contents of these fast food envelopes - butters, spreads and sugary pastes - have become more important to us than the deep and satisfying wheat flavour of real bread. The quality of bread has been sacrificed for speed, money and shelf-life. The flour is stripped of its cumbersome bran and germ coatings; then bleach, vitamins, proteins, bran(!), additives and preservatives are added. Most so-called 'wholemeal' breads on sale are no better than white loaves. They are usually made from bleached white dough, dyed with caramel, bran added for 'authenticity' and are artificially inflated by the use of gluten flour. Technical Information and Myths Exposed Flour and Milling There are many flours used in breadmaking, such as rye1, maize, buckwheat and rice. However, wheat is the most common and the most easily available to the real bread-maker2. For centuries, the working man envied the white bread of the privileged. Extracting all the bran and germ from wheat was a time-consuming and expensive business, until mechanised high speed roller mills came along in the 1870s. Roller-milled flours have everything but the starch removed, which is then crushed and bleached with chlorine, becoming our modern white flour. Flour that is stone-milled (marketed as stoneground flour) is crushed and ground between rotating stones. Stoneground flour contains all of the wheatgrain: nothing added and nothing removed. Thus the protein, the fibre and the flavour are retained. White stoneground flour has the bran and semolina sieved out of it. The flour most suitable for bread is stoneground from high protein, or hard, wheat. This is often called strong flour. Strength is related to the gluten content of the flour, which varies according to the wheat variety and the growing conditions. The stronger the flour, the higher the gluten content and the more the bread dough will rise evenly and consistently. Yeast Bread can be made without yeast, but for the purposes of simplicity, only yeasted bread is discussed here. For a yeast-free substitute for those with an allergy, try yoghurt soda bread. Yeast is alive, but inactive, when we buy it. Under the right conditions - warmth and moisture - it is activated and it releases the gas which will raise the dough. The activity only stops when the dough is put in the oven and the extreme heat kills the yeast. Yeast is available in two forms: fresh and dried. Supplies of fresh yeast are increasingly difficult to source in the UK and most bakers use the dried variety. To activate fresh yeast, crumble it in a cup and add hottish water. Allow it to froth before using it. Dried granular yeast is still yeast: it is hot air-dried to remove all the moisture, to enable it to be kept for longer. Dried yeast can be mixed with the flour and salt before hot water is added to make the dough. As a rule of thumb, one tablespoon of dried yeast is equivalent to 25g fresh yeast. Store dried yeast in an airtight container for up to two months. Fresh yeast can be frozen for up to three months. Salt Salt is an essential ingredient, so don't skip it. Bread is insipid without the addition of salt. It also conditions the dough, making it firmer and more resilient and it tempers the yeast, thus making the bread more digestible. On a simple level, the more salt there is, the longer the dough takes to rise. Generally, longer-maturing doughs require more salt than shorter-time doughs. How about the quality of the salt? Table salt and free-running salts available in the supermarket have magnesium carbonate and other chemicals added to keep them dry and free-running. If the aim is to make and eat 'real' bread, pure salt should be used. Fortunately, seasalt and rocksalt are both easily sourced these days. Liquid Water is the primary liquid for making bread and its quantity can vastly affect the finished product. It needs to be used at the temperature of bathwater: a little higher than body temperature. It then activates the yeast, which in turn produces gas and stretches the dough. Cooler water slows down the rise of the dough. The quantity of water to be used can never be given exactly, as different flours absorb different amounts of water. Milk produces a soft, flavoursome loaf when used as part of the liquid ingredient. Small breads, such as rolls and muffins, that should have soft crusts, are made from a half water, half milk mixture. Olive oil added as part of the liquid results in a dough that never forms a skin and doesn't develop a sour taste, even if it is over-proved. It is usual to add a little olive oil to pizza dough. Myths of Breadmaking Part 1: Sugar Sugar is not an essential ingredient. Yeast does not require sugar or honey to activate it. The addition of honey to a dough contributes to a moist and longer-keeping bread, but is not a necessity for a successful loaf. Myths of Breadmaking Part 2: Kneading Kneading improves the integrity of a loaf and just a couple of minutes is sufficient. However, kneading is not essential. Despite the sometimes dogmatic instructions provided by such culinary luminaries as Elizabeth David and Delia Smith, bread that is not kneaded will taste good and can be light and airy. The trick is to make a wetter-than-usual dough, which is mixed well in the bowl before being turned out onto a well-floured surface3, coated in flour, shaped and placed into a baking tin. Myths of Breadmaking Part 3: Knocking Back and Double-Proving It is unnecessary to leave the dough to rise, knock it back, re-knead it and then let it rise (or prove) again. A good loaf results from a single rise. Simply put the dough in the loaf tin and leave it in a warm spot4 and allow it to rise to the top of the tin. There is no need to cover it with teatowels, clingfilm, plastic bags, or any other material that you'll find suggested in the recipe books. Either coat the dough with flour, or if you want a crisp crust to your loaf, keep the dough surface damp with a hand water sprayer. The Oven The ideal oven for baking bread is one in which the fire is lit inside and later raked out, such as a mudbrick oven. The bread is baked in a steamy atmosphere, as these ovens can be sealed and the heat reflected back onto the bread from the brick walls results in a crunchy crust. Most people these days will be baking in a gas or electric oven. Preheat the oven to the required temperature and place the loaf in the middle or upper section, to ensure that it benefits fully from the heat. If necessary, change the position of the loaf part way through, to get an even bake. Baking Bread should be baked in a hot oven. A regular 700g loaf cooks in 35 minutes at 220C. White breads cook better hot. For 100 percent wholemeal, use a temperature of around 205C for 45 minutes. Of course, all ovens differ, so practice to get it right. Overcooked is preferable to undercooked. Remove the loaf from the tin once it is baked and return it to the oven for five minutes for a good crust to form all over. Remove it and place it on a wire cooling rack until it is completely cool. A loaf should never be wrapped up or put away until it has lost all of its heat. Bread is best left 12 hours before eating5. Storing Bread Bread needs to breathe if it is to be stored. It can be stored wrapped in cotton cloth inside an earthenware crock or wicker container, or a metal bin as long as it is not sealed tight. The exception is when the bread is frozen; this is the most efficient method of storage. The loaf needs to be well-sealed so that it retains its moisture intact. When it is thawed it is difficult to distinguish it from bread freshly made6. Basic Wholewheat Bread Recipe
Conclusion The only way to find out whether real breadmaking is as simple as has been suggested, is to give it a try. And then give it another try. And another. There are so many good flours available today, and so many different supplementary ingredients9, that the experiment never ends. Be the envy of, and an inspiration to, your friends. But don't forget to tell them how simple this 'mysterious' process really is. Breadmaking is fun. Bibliography

Bliar (bambi) was the photogenic spirit of Amber Portwood the age and exuded energy and enthusiasm and reasonableness at a time when we thought we had excess cash to spare on public services i draw all pbers attention to the prevailing mood of the country in 1997 - compare it to now. five years with no end in sight their economy might shrink by a third before this is over. as for the wider public, i think that labour has a large idealist vote which has been struggling to come to terms with iraq and other controversies, and a large tribal vote which simply feels labour looks after them better this is most of the 30% core. i am even more determined to see the sun continue to fight for its readers and its beliefs. but i think the main reason for the gap is the one identified by snowflake - the soft-focus stroking stuff, which dc does a lot of, does appeal to rather more women than men.

KOLKATA: The state may soon boast of a healthy work culture if labour minister Purnendu Bose finally implements what he promised on Monday: transparent policies on promotion and transfer of government employees. The state government will also arrange for proper counselling of employees, he vowed.
"The chief minister has taken an initiative to make proper job allotments in all departments. There will be a transparent transfer policy for employees. There is also a need of proper counselling of employees," the minister said at Writers' Buildings.
To begin with, work culture will be toned up in the labour department itself. The state labour commissioner will hold a meeting with all employees, including Group-C and -D ones in the labour department. Officers will be properly informed about their job allotments. A committee will be formed for Group C and D employees to enable them air their grievances.
"The employees do have many grievances. Those will be heard and we will talk to them to sort out their problems," the minister said. The meetings will take place in March this year.
On the transfer policy for all government employees, Bose said several issues in this regard will be taken note of. For example, if a newly married couple works in the government, they could be allowed to work in the same place for a certain period. Also, employees on the verge of retirement could be posted near their homes.
The minister said officers will be posted to look into how the labour departments of other states work so that officers remain up-to-date about their mode of functioning. The department will work on increasing the number of seats in the state labour institute which currently has 750 seats. This will cost the department Rs 2.5 lakh.
Bose also reacted strongly against Shyamal Chakraborty's comments. "I have thoroughly gone through all labour laws and whatever I have said is in conformity with them," he said. The labour department will bring out leaflets mentioning the "dos" and "don'ts" for employees under existing service rules.
Meanwhile, the All India State Government Employees' Federation will hold an all-India strike on February 28 on a six-point demand: cancellation of pension, privatization bill, proper wages and salaries for all permanent and contract labourers, fixing Rs 10,000 as the minimum wage, filling up all vacant posts in the central and state government departments and make registration of trade unions compulsory within 45 days of formation.

The following illustration shows a typical property specification. The properties and end keywords delineate a block of code that defines properties having the same attribute settings.
The preceding example shows the Coefficients property specified as having a default value of [0 0 1].
You can initialize property values with MATLAB® expressions. However, these expressions cannot refer to the class that you are defining in any way, except to call class static methods. MATLAB executes expressions that create initial property values only when initializing the class, which occurs just before first using the class. See Defining Default Values for more information about how MATLAB evaluates default value expressions.
Property access syntax is like MATLAB structure field syntax. For example, assume there is a polynomial class called polyno that defines a Coefficients property. If you created a polyno object p:
p = polyno([1 0 -2 -3]); % Create an instance p (this code does not execute)
you can access this property as follows:
c = p.Coefficients; % Assign the current property value to c p.Coefficients = [4 0 -2 3 5]; % Assign new property values
When you access a property, MATLAB performs any operations that the property requires. For example, executing a property set or get access method and triggering property access events.
See Implementing a Set/Get Interface for Properties for information on how to define set and get methods for properties.
When you derive one class from another class, the derived (subclass) class inherits all the properties of the superclass. In general, subclasses define only properties that are unique to that particular class. Superclasses define properties that more than one subclass use.
Attributes specified with the properties keyword apply to all property definitions that follow in that block. If you want to apply attribute settings to certain properties only, reuse the properties keyword and create another property block for those properties.
For example, the following code shows the SetAccess attribute set to private for the IndependentVar and Order properties, but not for the Coefficients property:
See Property Attributes for a list of all property attributes.

I have a great many clients whom I've worked with since the '90's. They're the ones who seem to "drag their feet" when it comes to change. I do my best to point out things that they need to be aware of!
Thanks again!
William Wells III
Greetings Kent...
Thanks for taking the time to read my article. I agree 100% that building relationships is where things are at today... and where things are heading in the future.
I wouldn't minimize the significance of "search" quite yet, however. Another study of approx. 6000 consumers aged 18 to 75 suggests in answer to the question: "Which aspects of the Internet are most influential when it comes to making purchasing decisions?" The responses were as follows:
#1) Internet Search - 88%
#2) Blogs/Custom Content - 75%
#3) Company Website - 66%
#4) User Generated Reviews: 58%
"Social Networks" was #5 at 55%
A high percentage of people still use their mobile devices to search for things they want and need.
Part of the success comes from understanding which of the social networking platforms is most effective for the target audience. It seems as though you've found yours!
Thanks again...
William Wells III
Greetings Alice...
Thanks for reading and commenting on this. You're absolutely right. FB is, at the moment, very inconsistent. Although they've shut down some pages (and it doesn't seem to matter whether they have many followers or few followers), they don't appear to have this in their sights... so it makes people complacent.
That's why it's more important than ever, for those who have chosen to become involved in Social Media as coaches and consultants, to make sure we KNOW what's going on and that we're steering our clients in the RIGHT direction. I know I wouldn't want the backlash that would undoubtedly come from a client's FB page getting shut down... not to mention, the possibility of a lawsuit!
William Wells III
Greetings Cecilia...
Thanks for taking the time to read and comment!
At the moment, there doesn't appear to be any limit to the number of "Likes" a page can have. A good example is "Target". Their Facebook page has more than 14 million "Likes". http://www.facebook.com/target
I do the same with my Facebook page. When I learn that a business has "Liked" my business page, the first thing I do is look at who it is... and, when, appropriate, I "Like" their page.
Regarding "Advertsising"... I was specifically referencing the "Timeline Cover Photo" area. The following is directly from the "Facebook Page Terms" section: http://www.facebook.com/page_guidelines.php
Greetings Mary...
Appreciate you taking the time to read the article. The short answer to your question is to create a Facebook Page rather than a Personal Profile. However, there are many factors to consider when creating this page. You may find this article of interest. http://www.williamhwells.com/2011/12/19/facebook-business-pages-5-signs-that-you-dont-get-it/
Thanks again and feel free to contact me if I can be of help!
Greetings Beth...
Thanks for taking the time to read the article. My sincere apologies if I seemed unclear. I'm differentiating between "Profiles" and "Pages". You clearly comprehend the difference as you have a "profile" for personal use and a "page" for business use.
Identifying a brand is just fine. Good examples would be Coca-Cola: https://www.facebook.com/cocacola and Starbucks: https://www.facebook.com/Starbucks just to name a couple.
Hope this helps!

Billy Reid Spring 2013 | Runway
Billy Reid Spring 2013
Billy Reid's Spring 2013 presentation Friday night lured showgoers with the promise of craft ales from Dogfish Head, but the crowd assembled stayed to watch the designer's muted take on Americana come down the runway.
As is always the case, Reid's main focus this season was on making sophisticated alternatives to traditional men's workwear. A gold cotton windbreaker was shown layered over a hand-tailored gray linen suit, while a tough lambskin jacket got paired with deep brown python penny loafers.
The women's side was infused with the same hardworking spirit but enjoyed its own touches of refinement. A beige suede duster floated over a simple white gauze dress, and suits in varying neutral shades were perfectly primed for the office. But a pair of silk dresses decorated with pale golden stripes were the height of the collection's easy elegance.

Xikar X875: A Monster Cigar Cutter - More from Cigar Toy
A Garage for Your Cigars?
Michael Marsh
Posted: June 3, 2002
The garage is a place where a man can be a man. While your wife may think it?s all just a bunch of unorganized junk, you know that in one way or another, everything stored there has a purpose. The Ci-Garage is a different kind of storage area, but just like your garage at home, the services it provides are invaluable. Invaluable to a cigar smoker, that is.
From California-based Bryer Enterprises, this sleek case is made for the cigar smoker on the go and geared towards those times when you can?t finish a cigar, but wouldn?t think of throwing it out. The Ci-Garage features a special heat-resistant compartment that allows you to save your unfinished cigar until you have time to light it up again. The Ci-Garage also contains a number of other handy items. There is a guillotine cutter that attaches magnetically to the inside of the case, a compartment for storing matches, and even a small, stainless-steel ashtray that can be removed.
Manufactured in the United States, the Ci-Garage is available in several colors and can be personalized with company names and logos. It retails for $24.99. For more information, call 877-862-1942.

True Vampires pt 3 of 3Meanwhile, in a temperate forest that looked like it got a lot of rain, Edward was giving Bella the piggy back ride of her life. It was the piggy back ride of her life because she thought it might actually end her life. They tore through the icy air, bits of twigs whipping at their heartbreakingly attractive teenage bodies. Bella felt like throwing up, and dying, and screaming, and perhaps also chuckling. "Edward!" She chuckled. "I think I am going to die.""That's okay!" He chucked sexily. "I will protect you."On and on they flew through the trees until the manly forest sprite stopped in a large oak. Bella caught her breath, although she was still sniffling from hysterical panic."Oh, my god," she whimpered. "I thought I was going to die."Edward sexily sniffed her, like a wild animal sniffs its prey. Actually, that was pretty accurate. Immediately, Be
True Vampires pt 2 of 3Later that night, in another part of the city, a young girl walked alone through the dark alley. Suddenly a shadowy figured jumped out of nowhere. It landed in front of her, trapping her in a corner. Her heart skipped in fear."No, please!" She cried. "Don't hurt me.""I'm not going to hurt you," the tall and slender figure chuckled. He stepped out from the shadows, revealing a chiseled face and a sculpted body, or possibly a sculpted face and a chiseled body. No one could really be sure. He smelled like heaven and the terrified girl suspected that he tasted even better. But most remarkable of all was his skin, which scintillated - yes, scintillated, grade six word - under the moonlight.The girl stepped away in terror, and found herself with her back to the wall."Please let me go," she begged."Oh, I will," the sparkling stranger chuckled. He raised his eyebrows. Then he leaned in close to her and sniffed along her neck."I love you," he chuckled."I love you too," sighed
Umbrella RantI was listening to some music today and an old familiar song came up on the randomized playlist. It was a song I haven't listened to in a while, for no reason other than it hasn't been on my mind. It was a song I liked very much just a little while ago. It was Rhianna's hit song, "Umbrella."When the song first came out, it was overhyped and overplayed, so I automatically didn't like it. That's just how my brain assumes things; If Everyone is doing it, then it must be wrong. My prejudice, I know. Anyway, after the initial "Umbrella" frenzy died down, I gave the song a new listening-to. First of all, it's got a great tune. It just ... sounds nice. Not to mention Rhianna has a great voice. But I am the sort of person who generally pays more attention to the lyrics than to the music. So, let's talk about the lyrics.It is actually a really sweet song, lyrics-wise.
WNTW Power RangersWe open on a flashing montage of humourously parodied street signs. Our heroes saunter down the way, running into citizen after unfashionable citizen, and greeting them the only way they knew how.

Her impeckably done makeup accentuated her inarguable natural beauty, while her outfit - which was just to die for, by the way - displayed her perfect slender figure in the most artistic of ways. The other, taller and dreamier, was no less of a winning example of fashion at its best. His clothing maintained the delicate balance between beauty and masculinity.

True Vampires pt 1 of 3The bar was dark and nearly deserted. It had unusually large windows for a bar, and they were framed by thick black out curtains. Tonight, the curtains were open, and through the dingy, grimy panes, one could see a crooked branch from a tree outside. Beyond that, there was nothing save for the clouds swirling around a full moon. If the window were moved over by a few feet, to look through it would also display the bar's blinking neon sign. The sign was not supposed to blink. It just did that. And just as well, because it was great for getting the attention of passerby. After all, who could resist a tantalizing name like "Night Life."Of course, this poses the question of why the bar was almost empty. Let's just say, it is very rare for this particular bar to get any repeat visitors. The dusty interior quickly turned most folks away. This was not the sort of place whe

Same-sex couples trying to get a divorce in Texas are running into problems because they weren't married in that state.
According to Texas law, a union granted in a state where same-sex marriage is legal cannot be dissolved in a state where it's not.
Despite the law, a judge in Austin, Texas granted one female couple a divorce.
Now Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott is appealing the judge's decision, saying protecting the traditional definition of marriage also means doing the same for divorce.
Some opponents of gay marriage are arguing that granting a divorce means recognizing there was a marriage in the first place.
A state appeals court is expected to hear the case Wednesday in Dallas.

Supplement your routine with weight training and other cardio equipment, such as the rower. Making sure you incorporate variety keeps your body from getting used to a single movement and also continues to help you build muscle mass—which, in turn, will keep your metabolism boosted.

Contractor picked for vets clinicDecember 03,2012Contractor picked
for vets clinic
Plans to build a new $2.6 million outpatient clinic for veterans in Burlington are moving forward.
U.S. Sen. Bernard Sanders said Monday that the Department of Veterans Affairs has picked a contractor Fortieth Burlington LLC to build the facility, which will replace a clinic in Colchester that has outgrown its space.
The new clinic on Lakeside Avenue will be nearly twice as large as the Colchester clinic and serve about 4,000 veterans.
Its expected to be completed in early 2013.
Sanders said the VA now serves about 8,600 veterans at clinics in Colchester, Brattleboro, Rutland, Bennington and Newport, providing primary care, specialty treatment and mental health services.MORE IN National / World BusinessSAN FRANCISCO Apple CEO Tim Cook says consumer demand for new iPhones has been staggering and...

I wonder how long one would last before enraged christians deface it.
These billboars get to the point of christian ignorance about their own religion, their hypocrisy, their vile maleficent deity, In the vein of 'Awkward Moments Not Found In Your Children's Bible".
Or maybe they just wouldn't get it?
Or it would backfire and more christians would demand theocracy?
Tags: atheist evangelism, awkward moments of the bible, billboards, christian hypocrisy
If you want to see 'em, blow the idea by David Silverman. If anyone has the chutzpah to go public with stuff like that, HE DOES!
As to whether christians will "get it" or not, I have no idea. What it WILL do is raise some hackles and start some conversations, and that second at least has the opportunity to be a good thing.
I think a lot of them won't get it. They are GREAT though!!!
For people who contribute to their kickstarter, there is an option to get postcards of the billboards. That might be fun to leave in waiting rooms or at people's front doors, like jehovah witness tracts.
Hey, do you wanna be Jehovah's witness?
No, I wasn't even there when he had the accident.
That "hmmmm" moment might be a good thing, Slow chipping away, tiny bit by tiny bit, at the fortress of faith.
The billboards also help the faithless, by promoting understanding that the christian / jewish bible is not a work of love, and the christian god is a malificient character worthy of condemnation, not the "god is love" so many promote.
"Mommy, why did god kill all the unicorns?" Timmy
"Well, Timmy. Probably because he knew you were going to be a rebellious and sinful little boy teetering on the brink of damnation and hellfire, and he didn't wan't you to ever see them. Now, turn off the lights and go to sleep. And tomorrow, if you're not good, Daddy's going to the quarry to get a truckload of rocks." Deuteronomy 21: 18-21
I bet more than a few children heard variations of this theme.
These billboards are sophomoric. National Lampoon style from the '70's.
Not much better that when i sarcastically sing horrible country songs blaspheming, sacrilegious and heretical songs of sex magik rituals with the sheriffs and preachers daughters in a stolen church mobile filled with precious bodily fluids, giggling nude girls handcuffed and emptied evidence bags, liquor bottles, vibrators, black candles, etc. flashers on parked sideways in the judges handicapped parking space to my jesus loving brainwashed co-workers.
These particular signs, such as the first and third presented, will have a backfiring effect, but we cannot stop fighting the brainwashing. some children have to know that they are not alone in their disbelief's like I was all alone in my rejection of divine writings, interventions, etc. Till I came across some writings in middle school from unlikely sources and buddhism, only the forrests and bayous were my sole teachers that the paternal god was a man made answer to a difficult question.
The children will hear the bill o riley style televangelists uproar first from the backseat on the way to school, but he/she will see, and will know ,albeit in small comfort, that his/her dissension is not alone.
"Or it would backfire and more christians would demand theocracy?"
I believe that billboards or not, we are inevitably heading toward theocracy in America. I believe all the reports about the slow dying out of Christianity might have been a bit premature. Chris Kirk of Slate.com reports (dated 1/26/2014, 6:30 pm) that thousands of schools in the US are using taxpayer money to teach creationism in science classes, while at the same time casting doubts on evolution, global warming, and cloning among other things. Many of the supplemental science textbooks provided to these schools come from the Discovery Institute. The following is a direct quote from the Slate article: "It's no coincidence that the Discovery Institute, a creationist think tank that provides such "supplemental textbooks," helped write the bill, which the American Association for the Advancement of Science described as an "assault against scientific integrity." The bill to which the article alludes is the Louisiana Science Education Act of 2008.
How many of the children in American schools being taught this bull crap are going to grow up to be deluded and brainwashed theocrats ?
I believe quite a few, Tony, and the direction we are going now is very sad. Religionists are fast getting others to believe that America was founded so they would be free to worship their god. This wasn't the case at all, but they want you to believe that.
Recently on You Tube I ran onto videos about how god won't heal amputees. This was countered by a religionist who claimed it was not true. He said that Jesus healed the lepers, and that leprosy ate away body parts, so this was proof that god did heal amputees. Where did this man get his proof?
"But the bible says . . . . ."
They just cannot understand why this is ZERO proof. Nevertheless, if we don't take a stand to stop it, theocracy could be on the way.

eCommerce and mobile are two markets that were made for each other. Last year alone, consumers bought over $1.5 trillion of stuff with their mobile devices. While the ability to shop from the comfort of your own home and have purchases show up on your doorstep has been a dream come true to many people, it got even better when consumers could shop virtually from anywhere using a mobile device such as a smart phone or tablet.
For mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs), eCommerce provides two major benefits – an increase in subscriber usage and an opportunity to reduce distribution costs by more cost-efficient distribution of mobile products without relying upon physical retail outlets.
If you're an MVNO taking a serious look at eCommerce, here are some things you should be aware of:

Today's mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) needs to be nimble and faster to market to succeed in the increasingly competitive mobile space. That means avoiding costly and time-consuming back office provisioning issues that can come with multiple vendor partnerships and application integration.

As the cost of living continues to rise and the baby boomer generation ages, increasing numbers of consumers are struggling to pay monthly subscription fees for mobile service to stay in touch with each other, their families, and the work and leisure activities that interest them. In response, the FCC has developed a discount program called Lifeline that enables qualifying consumers – which, in general, includes anyone who falls within 135 percent of the federal poverty guidelines – to receive a discount on their monthly telephone service. This discount is underwritten by fees paid by telecom service providers into the federal Universal Service Fund (USF) which is administered by the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC).

Posted by Jennifer Shin on Nov 25, 2014 8:45:00 AM
Regulatory fees and taxes can represent a substantial financial responsibility for mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs). It's important for mobile services providers to fully understand the local, state, and federal tax laws that can affect them, especially because the IRS and the FCC as well as many states have broad and sometimes different definitions for the terms "communications" and "telecommunications." In general, though, MVNOs are defined as Commercial Mobile Radio Services (CMRS) even if they simply resell services from facilities-based CMRS providers and don't actually own any facilities of their own.

ABSTRACT: Novel piperazinyl, morpholino and piperidyl derivatives of the pyrazole-based Hsp90 inhibitor CCT018159 are described. Structure-activity relationships have been elucidated by X-ray co-crystal analysis of the new compounds bound to the N-terminal domain of human Hsp90. Key features of the binding mode are essentially identical to the recently reported potent analogue VER-49009. The most potent of the new compounds has a methylsulfonylbenzyl substituent appended to the piperazine nitrogen, possesses an IC50 of less than 600 nM binding against the enzyme and demonstrates low micromolar inhibition of tumour cell proliferation.Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters 06/2006; 16(9):2543-8. · 2.33 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Information from X-ray crystal structures of Hsp90 inhibitors bound to the human Hsp90 molecular chaperone was used to assist in the design of 3-(5-chloro-2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-pyrazole-4-carboxamides as novel inhibitors of Hsp90. Accessing an extra interaction with the protein via Phe138 gave a significant increase in binding potency compared to similar analogues that do not make this interaction.Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters 02/2006; 15(23):5197-201. · 2.33 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Inhibition of the ATPase activity of the chaperone protein HSP90 is a potential strategy for treatment of cancers. We have determined structures of the HSP90alpha N-terminal domain complexed with the purine-based inhibitor, PU3, and analogs with enhanced potency both in enzyme and cell-based assays. The compounds induce upregulation of HSP70 and downregulation of the known HSP90 client proteins Raf-1, CDK4, and ErbB2, confirming that the molecules inhibit cell growth by a mechanism dependent on HSP90 inhibition. We have also determined the first structure of the N-terminal domain of HSP90beta, complexed with PU3. The structures allow a detailed rationale to be developed for the observed affinity of the PU3 class of compounds for HSP90 and also provide a structural framework for design of compounds with improved binding affinity and drug-like properties.Chemistry & Biology 07/2004; 11(6):775-85. · 6.59 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Multiple co-crystal structures of an adenine-based series of inhibitors bound to the molecular chaperone Hsp90 have been determined. These structures explain the observed SAR for previously described compounds and new compounds, which possess up to 8-fold improved potency against the isolated enzyme. Anti-tumour cell potency and mechanism of action data is also described for the most potent compounds. These data should enable the design of more potent Hsp90 inhibitors.Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters 02/2004; 14(2):325-8. · 2.33 Impact Factor

ANACONDA — Anaconda-Deer Lodge County Commissioner Robert Pierce was arrested Friday evening on a warrant charging him with felony sexual intercourse without consent.
The warrant also charges Pierce, who is in his early 50s, with sexual assault against a minor. He is released from jail after posting $20,000 bond.
Police Chief Tim Barkell said officers arrested Pierce without incident on his way home from his job as an insurance agent in Butte. The charges stemmed from a six-month investigation by the state Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation.
Agent Lee Johnson could not be reached for comment on the specifics of the case. A home phone number for Pierce was disconnected, and he also could not be reached for comment.
Pierce, who lives in Opportunity and represents District 4 on the commission, is allowed to retain his seat unless he chooses to resign, according to the county charter. A commissioner cannot be dismissed unless actually convicted of a felony.
If Pierce resigns, the commission must appoint an interim commissioner to finish the term, which expires Dec. 31, 2014. Pierce ran unopposed in the 2010 election.
Interim Chief Executive Connie Ternes-Daniels declined comment, and sent an email instructing fellow commissioners not to comment.
Police received an initial report in February that accused Pierce of sexually assaulting a young girl, Barkell then told The Montana Standard. A restraining order was filed against Pierce by the alleged victim's family, and state investigators began looking into the accusations.
Pierce denied any wrongdoing at the time and told the Standard he planned to hire an attorney.

Seattle: http://data.seattle.gov
King County: http://datakc.org
State of Washington: http://data.wa.gov
Presented by the City of Seattle, King County, and Washington state, the think tank event is held at the Seattle City Hall. It will close Sunday evening with a presentation session showcasing all the ideas generated over the weekend.
If you are participating, keep your eye out for the Zillow crew, including Director of Zillow Mortgage Marketplace Erin Lantz, and Senior Mobile Program Manager Jay Al Hashal. If you can't make it this weekend, mark your calendars for the next Seattle Startup Weekend event, held on May 18, where both Zillow Chief Economist Dr. Stan Humphries and Jay Al Hashal will be serving as mentors.
