The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

elsewhere, let's mention it right up front, and then dive into the rest.
Otherwise we could cut entirely and take Peter/Sean's suggestions for
wrapping it up.
Or consider one this. What stratfor has often said is that the US is
bipolar and has sputnik moments. The interesting thing about this speech
is that it attempted to fabricate that moment rhetorically. But the
question is whether the effect has actually been achieved. It is possible
that the financial crisis caused a panic moment, and with the economy
turning around, we are preparing to launch into something truly
extraordinary. But that seems artificial -- seems like Obama's narrative
rather than reality. Reality says that we need an ACTUAL sputnik moment to
spur action. Then we can discuss the internal focus of other players --
Germany, Russia, China -- and raise the fact that this is the year in
which Iran looms pretty seriously for Obama in order to manage Iraq, which
is in keeping with our annual forecast. BUT we simply haven't had the Iran
sputnik yet.

The U.S. President Barack Obama delivered a domestically focused State
of the Union Address on Jan. 25 calling the task of reducing the
country's deficit "our generation's Sputnik moment". With barely 12
months away from the 2012 Iowa Caucuses[just over, i think its feb 6]
- the first major electoral test to U.S. Presidential candidates -
Obama is attempting to seek the middle ground on the single issue that
is dominating U.S. politics, the economy.
Foreign affairs took a back seat at the 2011 State of the Union
Address. This is not a departure for the Obama White House, his 2010
Address (LINK:
spent very little on foreign affairs, largely ignoring the then
growing tensions with Iran.
The economy and the issue of the growing deficit currently dominate
politics in the U.S. This is not surprising. The recovery from the
2009 recession has been slow for many people in the country,
especially with employment only now beginning to recover. Budget
deficit is growing, with the Tea Party political movement bringing
that issue to the center of the American discourse[i wouldn't say Tea
party. The whole republican party is pretty serious about that (or
acts like it). And given Hobama's budget freeze for 5 years, this is
getting pretty bipartisan. i expect another nail in the t party
coffin in a few minutes. Emotions are high on issues such as jobs,
health care, government spending, immigration and education. The
President therefore spent over 90 percent of the speech focusing on
the U.S.
Meanwhile, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan no longer split the country
politically. There is largely a consensus that the U.S. should
extricate itself from Iraq and make one last stand against the Taliban
in Afghanistan. Disagreements exist in how to achieve both, but they
are constrained to the sphere of policy-making, not emotion. The wars
were started by the party in the opposition, therefore limiting how
much Obama can face criticism from the right. Meanwhile Obama
campaigned specifically on shifting the focus of the war to
Afghanistan, limiting how much his own base can criticize him. Emotion
wins or looses elections[i think this is even too pessimistic for
stratfor. it still comes down to current reality and perception of
policies delivered or promised], not policy-making. Obama -- and his
rivals -- understand this and are therefore focusing on domestic
The focus on domestic politics therefore makes logical sense in the
context of the 2012 elections. However, the U.S. President may not
have the luxury to campaign on domestic issues for the next 21 months.
Obama could very well face a crisis in Iraq in 2011 as U.S. troops
reduce their presence and Iran increases its influence. Russia is
slowly weaning Western Europe from the security arrangements of the
Cold War, leaving strong U.S. allies in Central Europe isolated and
threatened from Moscow's resurgence, while China is growing more
assertive in its neighborhood.
But Obama is not alone in his domestic focus. His counterpart in
Berlin, the German Chancellor Angela Merkel faces seven state
elections as the Eurozone crisis continues to rage. The logic of
domestic politics, and of dealing with the economic problems, are
running against one another. German population, and specifically many
who voted for Merkel's current government in the last election, is
becoming increasingly Euroskeptic.
The way germany is thrown is just awkward. And i think it still will be
if you mention china. it's very obvious you had prepped some thoughts
on germany, but then wrote the diary on the US, and then threw a couple
lines in for good measure. I would really just focus on US
and then add the bit that peter talked about that there is no change in
posture from US, just that little mention of Tunisia, for which
'supporting democracy' is common US rhetoric, with mixed action.
And therein lies the challenge to leadership. "Sputnik moments" are
rarely faced in domestic politics. The reason Sputnik was such a
"moment", is because it represented in the minds of the American
population a foreign threat that spurred the U.S. into an educational
and technological revolution that it in many ways still continues to
coast on. The challenge will be to navigate the political minefield of
upcoming elections and emotions on domestic issues, while planning
ahead for a potential surprise in the foreign realm. The American
President is not alone in dealing with this balance, but as the leader
of the most powerful country in the world, his skill -- or lack
thereof -- in balancing the two becomes geopolitical.

Masculinity Besieged?: Issues of Modernity and Male Subjectivity in Chinese Literature of the Late Twentieth Century (Hardback)
Format: | Hardback 224 pages |
Not in stock
Usually despatched within 7 weeks

in the UK
In "Masculinity Besieged", Xueping Zhong looks at Chinese literature and films produced during the 1980s to examine male subjectivities in contemporary China. Reading through a feminist psychoanalytic lens, Zhong argues that understanding the nature of male subjectivities as portrayed in literature and film is crucial to understanding China's ongoing quest for modernity. Before the 1990s onslaught of popular culture decentred the role of intellectuals within the nation, they had come to embody Chinese masculinity during the previous decade.The focus on masculinity in literature had become unprecedented in scale and the desire for real men began to permeate Chinese popular culture, making icons out of Rambo and Takakura Ken. Stories by Zhang Xianliang and Liu Heng portraying male anxiety about masculine sexuality are employed by Zhong to show how 'marginal' males negotiate their sexual identities in relation to both women and the state. Looking at writers popular among not only the well-educated but also the working and middle classes, she discusses works by Han Shaogong, Yu Hua, and Wang Shuo and examines instances of self-loathing male voices, particularly as they are articulated in Mo Yan's well-known work Red Sorghum.In her last chapter Zhong examines 'roots literature', which speaks of the desire to create strong men as a part of the effort to create a geopolitically strong Chinese nation. In an afterword, Zhong situates her study in the context of the 1990s. This book will be welcomed by scholars of Chinese cultural studies, as well as in literary and gender studies.

The trigger level is 630-feet, and a move to Stage IV restricitons by the Aquifer Authority could mean a similar move for providers such as New Braunfels Utilities. "Our customers have been in Stage III watering restricitions since April, and that means they are allowed to water with a sprinkler irrigation system one day per week every other week" said Gretchen Reuwer with NBU. "I believe it's going to be the fist time in history Stage IV would be declared for the San Antonio pool" Reuwer said.

A Turlock woman has been arrested on allegations she stole money from the Merced County Superior Court.
A coordinated effort by the Turlock Police Department and the Recording Industry Association and the Movie Picture of America Association to target those peddling in pirated movies and music resulted in numerous arrests and the confiscation of hundreds of bootlegged material.
A commitment to public service and the heroics of the Turlock Police Department were celebrated Monday at their annual awards ceremony.
A lone suspect robbed a Turlock bank Wednesday afternoon.
A 50-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of driving drunk after he started a chain reaction of vehicle collisions that left one person with a broken bone.
Three suspected burglars were taken into custody Monday morning after leading police officers on a pursuit through the north end of Turlock that ended in an orchard near Hughson.
The Turlock Police Department is looking for the two men who robbed a pharmacy at gunpoint Thursday night.
Not far from the intersection of Julian Street and Grant Avenue in Turlock stands a cross with pretty purple flowers surrounding it. Etched into the weathered wood reads the name Kelly Story.
Turlock Police are investigating an arson fire that scorched some of the wooden play structure at Donnelly Park. The fire was reported at 10 p.m. Tuesday night and quickly doused out by Turlock fire fighters. A propellant was used at the base of the structure to start the fire, Turlock Police spokesperson Officer Mayra Lewis said.
The search for a Hilmar man wanted in connection with several thefts led to the arrest of four people by Merced County Sheriff's deputies on a variety of stolen property and drug charges.
A year-long multiagency operation of federal and state law enforcement served search warrants and made arrests Wednesday at multiple locations in Stanislaus and Merced counties as part of an ongoing investigation into a narcotics ring trafficking in methamphetamine and marijuana.
A 3-year-old Hughson boy was rescued from a vehicle collision mere moments before the truck he was in burst into flames and claimed the life of his mother.
The Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department is investigating a stabbing that occurred at the Turlock Flea Market.
The Merced County Sheriff Department busted a cockfight Saturday night in Hilmar, citing 13 people and arrested one.
A suspected thief was apprehended Sunday night after a witness reported seeing him being chased by the robbery victim.
Stanislaus County Sheriff's detectives are investigating a shooting that left two men dead and a Turlock woman critically injured with a gunshot wound.
The man previously convicted of stabbing to death a 25-year-old Turlock resident and setting his car on fire was sentenced to 16 years to life in prison on Wednesday.
An early morning collision on Highway 165 in Hilmar between a school bus and a semi truck left one man dead and one woman with moderate injuries Thursday, the California Highway Patrol reported.
The Federal Bureau of Investigations has issued a warning about scams targeting university students and employees.
A Turlock man was taken into custody on theft and weapon charges after the victims of his alleged theft led the police to his location with the use of the GPS in their stolen items.
An 80-year-old woman was hospitalized after being severely beaten by an unknown woman who forced her way into the victim's home Sunday morning.

Mithradates VI Eupator
Mithradates VI Eupator
biographical name(died 63 BC, Panticapaeum) King of Pontus (120–63 BC) and enemy of Rome. As a boy he was coruler with his mother from c. 120, then overthrew her to become sole ruler in 115. He gradually conquered areas along the western and southern regions of the Black Sea. He waged three wars against Rome, called the Mithradatic Wars (88–85, 83–82, 74–63). Though he originally seemed a champion to Greeks seeking relief from the Roman threat, his defeat by Sulla (86) destroyed that hope. When it became necessary, he extorted money and supplies from his Greek territories in Asia Minor. Greek revolts led to cruel reprisals. Greece turned to Rome after 86 but suffered under the harsh demands of both until Mithradates was conclusively defeated by Pompey. He was one of the few leaders to successfully challenge Roman expansion in Asia.

Three Books to Impregnate You With 'Alien' Knowledge
Books on Film By Robert Fure on June 18, 2012 | Comments (1)Tired of hearing about Prometheus? If your answer is yes, consider moving on. If you're still coming to grips with the film or if you're a huge fan of the Alien universe, then read on, because we get our dirty little mitts on three books that will take you deeper into the movies than ever before. From Titan Books, Ridley Scott's newest, Prometheus, gets a wonderful hardcover "The Art of the Film" treatment from author Mark Salisbury, while the original film is highlighted in the recently re-published The Book of Alien. Space Marines, form up, as the stars of James Cameron's installment are highlighted in the re-published Aliens: Colonial Marines Technical Manual.
Continue the Summer of Joss Whedon with Three Tie-In Books
Features By Robert Fure on May 14, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhile the year isn't even half over yet, it's going to be a hard climb for anyone to topple the summer Joss Whedon is having. If The Avengers box office wasn't enough to give him the best summer ever (it is), his co-writing and producing on The Cabin in the Woods might be the nudge to put him over the top with most fans. Whedon has a few projects in the pipeline (he wrote the upcoming In Your Eyes and is directing his take on Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing), but what if you need more Whedon right now!? Turn your eyes to the page, dear friend. Titan Books currently has three Joss-related offerings ready for your perusal. We took a look at them to give you the straight dope on whether they're just for super-fans or if everyone can enjoy. After all, not everyone is a huge fan of Whedon. Indeed, personally, I'm at best 50/50 on the guy, finding serious flaws within some his work, absolutely loving some of it, and having not ever watched a good chunk of it. The following contains spoilers for The Cabin in the Woods and Joss Whedon's career.
The Holiday Gift Guide: Collectibles & Merchandise For The Movie Lover In Your Life
Features By Simon Gallagher on December 15, 2011 | Comments (3)It's the final countdown. Dunuh na naaaa. Less than two weeks to go until Christmas, so naturally now's the time to start buying things. Who needs organizational skills when you can imbue that action-film frenzied spirit into your final rounds of festive gift buying? Since I'm the collectible fiend around these parts, I've been tasked with listing the essential holiday gifts from that world for every film fan. It hasn't been easy, and I've mentally spent way too much money in compiling the list myself. But hey, occupational hazard. Anyway, here follows 15 of the must-have collectibles for this holiday season, some regulars of the Merch Hunter column will recognize, and some will be brand new. Either way, they're what movie lovers want. As this is my handiwork, you can expect a general mix of the uber-expensive and ultra-collectible as well as the affordable and accessible, more charming options. No snob am I….
Books for Movie Lovers: Jeffrey Eugenides' 'Middlesex'
Features By Kate Erbland on November 19, 2011 | Comments (4)It may come as a huge surprise to some of you that we here at Film School Rejects also like to (occasionally) put down our tablets and iPhones and Boysenberries and iWhatevers and lappytops and actually pick up a real book instead – made of paper and everything! And we'd like you to take some time to flip through some bound pages and acquire knowledge the old-fashioned way. That said, may I humbly recommend Jeffrey Eugenides' Pulitzer Prize-winning novel "Middlesex"? Eugenides' debut novel, "The Virgin Suicides," is a particular favorite of mine. If you're book-adverse, you may still recognize it from the big screen – Sofia Coppola adapted it for her feature debut. Talk about a book about virginity (guffaw). The author has also recently published his third novel, "The Marriage Plot," just last month. But why then am I recommending his middle novel, the heavy hitter, the tome, Eugenides' crack at an epic? Why not one of the smaller, simpler ones? Because it's the best one. A big, sprawling, time-spanning epic about the Stephanides family and their trials, tribulations, and stunning mistakes, "Middlesex" center on Eugenides' most fully formed and sympathetic character, Calliope "Cal" Stephanides. Eugenides knows how to steadily build his characters, but Cal is an entity unto herself. Or, if you know more about the book, to himself. Intrigued yet?

I did a veggie garden last year and I am late for planting this year for seeds, so i had to cheat and buy seedlings, but my question is do the roma tomato plants grow as big as the "best boy" tomato plants? I have planted two on opposite corners of a 4x4 raised garden. Also, is that too close to each other? |
Follow-Up Postings:
The variety of Roma that I have been growing, are determinate, and max out at the size of a large bush. I'd estimate their peak size at around 3-4ft tall, with a max diameter of 24-30" across. Last year I nearly got two full crops off the plants. Only reason the late crop didn't ripen come October, was the placement of my plants. So this year I moved my 8 Romas to a section of the yard that will still receive 8+ hours of sun in the Fall (full South-facing...). Fingers crossed we receive two FULL harvests of tomatoes off these 8 plants. Opposite corners of the raised bed should be perfect.. I have my plants spaced about 3-4ft apart... |

Good in a pinch
Tried the Beef Ravioli and Chicken Noodle Stew for our first ever MRE meal. Both are pretty tasty! I preferred the Chicken Noodle Stew while my husband liked the Raviloi. We'll be trialing a few more items and then will be using them in our 72 hr. bags and food storage.

Backpacker's Delight
I love this stuff. I once went on a 3 day hike through a part of the Appalachian Trail and packed enough MRE's to last the hike. The entrees were 2 of these, and a cheese tortellini Those were my dinners. I loved both, but preferred the ravioli. Here's a suggestion. Take this ravioli, and take a wheat snack bread Break the snack bread up and mix it in to the ravioli(after the ravioli has been heated.) and eat. I love it and have henceforth dubbed it as Backpacker's Delight.(version 2.5)

Andrea Weber Project Manager 612-230-6466 firstname.lastname@example.com
The Court Sports Activity Plan is a system-wide planning effort that will determine infrastructure maintenance and provide recommendations for changes to better meet recreational needs for more than 13 outdoor court sports. The sports included in this plan are: badminton, basketball, bocce, bike polo, futsal, horseshoes, kato, pickleball, shuffleboard, table tennis, tennis, volleyball (grass and sand) and outdoor games (toss n score, 4-square, hopscotch).
Do you play tennis or basketball or another outdoor court sport? If so, you may be interested in the Court Sports Activity Plan under development by the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board's (MPRB) Planning Division with the help of an inter-organizational staff team.
An Activity Plan is a document that supports the Comprehensive Plan. The activity team, in this case the Court Sports Activity Team, reviews a group of similar activities such as court sports, and evaluates programs and facilities in the park system that support those activities. This evaluation then informs the development of a plan to provide a sustainable level of service for the activity.
The Court Sport Activity Team works with internal and external partners, as well as members of the public, to understand and assess how well the MPRB currently meets the demand for court activities and what improvements are needed.
Additional research is being completed and the draft plan is being written.
Back to Top
Project Milestones
Late fall-winter 2014, Date TBD
Project History
December 2012
The next opportunity for Community Input will be when the draft plan is opened for public review and comment. This is anticipated for fall-winter 2014. A 45-day comment period will be opened at a regular Board meeting. Upon conclusion of the comment period, staff will review comments and make revisions to the plan prior to bringing it back for approval by the Board.
For questions about this project, please contact the project manager.
Community engagement began with a series of public meetings and a broad survey completed in 2009.
In 2012, additional outreach was conducted with groups not well represented in the 2009 outreach. Interviews with partners in programming courts sports were also completed in 2012.
Two open houses were held in December 2012. The open houses presented some of the data and themes developing from the outreach, inventory of court facilities and standard court diagrams as well as proposed multi-use groupings.
2012 Open House Materials:
The Courts Sports Activity Plan includes the following 13-plus outdoor court sports: tennis, basketball, volleyball (grass and sand), badminton, pickleball, kato, futsal, bike polo, shuffleboard, bocce, horseshoes, table tennis, and games (toss n score, 4-square, hopscotch).
The Court Sports Activity Team (consisting of MPRB staff from multiple departments) will review the activities and evaluate programs and facilities in the park system that support court sports activities. This evaluation then informs the development of a plan to provide a sustainable level of service for the activity.
Significant changes to courts in neighborhood parks will be determined as Service Area Master Plans are completed throughout the park system. The Court Sports Activity Plan will recommend a level of service for different types of courts and will identify where there may be too few or too many of specific facilities. Changes will be implemented as funding is made available in neighborhood parks.
The court sports activity plan will also recommend guidelines for maintenance and reconstruction of courts. The plan will also provide guidelines for prioritization of use of maintenance funding.

PHILADELPHIA, PA – Chestnut Hill College will host a fundraiser for Fonkonzé USA on Tuesday, March 15, at 7 p.m. in the Redmond Room, St. Joseph Hall.
Guests will enjoy cocktails and food, followed by a presentation by guest speaker Gerard Straub, film maker and founder of Pax et Bonum Communications, a company that produces films and books that foster compassion for those who suffer from hunger and injustice, while also inspiring genuine and respectful fraternity among all people, no matter one's faith or lack of faith.

Fonkozé is Haiti's bank for the organized poor and Haiti's largest micro-finance organization. Their mission is to build the economic foundations for democracy in Haiti by providing the rural poor with the tools they need to rise out of poverty. Chemen Lavi Miyò (CLM) or Path to a Better Life is the successful 18-month program with Fonkozé that prepares Haitian women to establish a business, improve their family's health and home, as they develop the confidence and skills to face their futures. One of the key components of the program is working with the children of CLM families, ensuring attendance in school and reinforcing the training of their mothers through a summer youth program. The funding from this event will go to a fund specifically for the children of Chemen Lavi Miyò members.
Tickets are $65 per person and donations will also be accepted. For more information or to purchase tickets, please contact Leigh Carter at

Speaking of McCarthyism, 43 veterans of an elite Israeli intelligence unit have not only come out against Israel's treatment of Palestinians but declared that they will no longer "take part in the state's actions against Palestinians." The intelligence on Palestinians that they gathered, they claim, "is used for political persecution," which "does not allow for people to lead normal lives, and fuels more violence, further distancing us from the end of the conflict." According to the Times:
In the testimony and in interviews, though, the Unit 8200 veterans described exploitative activities focused on innocents whom Israel hoped to enlist as collaborators. They said information about medical conditions and sexual orientation were among the tidbits collected. They said that Palestinians lacked legal protections from harassment, extortion and injury.
One of the hallmarks of a repressive state, particularly in the twentieth century, is the use of blackmail against gays and lesbians in order to get them to collaborate and inform on their friends, colleagues, acquaintances, and other potential or actual dissidents. The Stasi was notorious for turning gays and lesbians into collaborators (see pp. 567ff); one of the key figures in Timothy Garton Ash's The File—Schuldt—is just such an informant. So pervasive was the use of this type of blackmail during the Cold War that it also figured prominently on the US side: one of the main justifications proffered for drumming out gays and lesbians from the federal government during the McCarthy era was that they were susceptible to being blackmailed by the Soviets. Though no one ever found a single instance of that.
Now here comes news that the Israeli state is doing the same thing among Palestinians. It will be interesting to see how the people who were so rightly appalled by the Stasi's recruitment of gays and lesbians to a repressive state apparatus—including Israel defenders like James Kirchick—and who routinely hold up Israel's record on gays and lesbians as a measure of its freedom and democracy (critics of Israel call that "pinkwashing") will rationalize this away.

This is the BEST hair product I have ever used... I have tried just about everything to get my thick wavy/curly hair under control. You know how layered curly hair will often settle into these lame looking, frizzy half-curls? Even with smoothing products I still couldn't get the shape and definition I wanted. This instantly gave me flapper ringlets - I looked like I had just walked out of a salon just from rubbing this stuff in my hair. It's very thick and works well if you mix it with Prep or Tonic (or water would probably work just as well) to make it easier to spread. And I kinda like the smell. I just can't believe my B&B stylist never thought to use this on me before. Rave!
I love everything about this product except it's MANLY SMELL. Other than that, it's a lovely, lightweight styling paste that creates lovely definition and style that you can still run your fingers through. Nice stuff.
This product gives my hair a nice piece-y, intentionally messy look that I love, and it doesn't weigh it down like a wax. The smell is questionable, but it's not necessary to use a lot, so I don't think it's even noticeable. This is a must have for short or medium length, layered hair.
This product works like a wax without giving your hair the greasy look, but leaving it with a matte finish. Also, it is lighter than B&B's regular hair wax, with better hold. I have short hair and like that messy flipped out look and this is the best product I've found, having tried many waxes, pastes, pomades, etc. A little expensive at $20 a tub, but it will probably last about 6 months... so well worth it. The real downside is that it smells like a men's product, and the scent is really strong. But I would sacrifice smell that for the great hold.

SALINAS, Calif. (AP) - On a windy morning in California's Salinas Valley, a tractor pulled a wheeled, metal contraption over rows of budding iceberg lettuce plants. Engineers from Silicon Valley tinkered with the software on a laptop to ensure the machine was eliminating the right leafy buds.
The engineers were testing the Lettuce Bot, a machine that can "thin" a field of lettuce in the time it takes about 20 workers to do the job by hand.
The thinner is part of a new generation of machines that target the last frontier of agricultural mechanization - fruits and vegetables destined for the fresh market, not processing, which have thus far resisted mechanization because they're sensitive to bruising.

Field operations manager Matthew Rossow tests a lettuce farming robot in Salinas, Calif.
Researchers are now designing robots for these most delicate crops by integrating advanced sensors, powerful computing, electronics, computer vision, robotic hardware and algorithms, as well as networking and high precision GPS localization technologies. Most ag robots won't be commercially available for at least a few years.
In this region known as America's Salad Bowl, where for a century fruits and vegetables have been planted, thinned and harvested by an army of migrant workers, the machines could prove revolutionary.
Farmers say farm robots could provide relief from recent labor shortages, lessen the unknowns of immigration reform, even reduce costs, increase quality and yield a more consistent product.
"There aren't enough workers to take the available jobs, so the robots can come and alleviate some of that problem," said Ron Yokota, a farming operations manager at Tanimura & Antle, the Salinas-based fresh produce company that owns the field where the Lettuce Bot was being tested.
Many sectors in U.S. agriculture have relied on machines for decades and even the harvesting of fruits and vegetables meant for processing has slowly been mechanized. But nationwide, the vast majority of fresh-market fruit is still harvested by hand.
Research into fresh produce mechanization was dormant for years because of an over-abundance of workers and pressures from farmworker labor unions.
In recent years, as the labor supply has tightened and competition from abroad has increased, growers have sought out machines to reduce labor costs and supplement the nation's unstable agricultural workforce. The federal government, venture capital companies and commodity boards have stepped up with funding.
"We need to increase our efficiency, but nobody wants to work in the fields," said Stavros G. Vougioukas, professor of biological and agricultural engineering at the University of California, Davis.
But farmworker advocates say mechanization would lead to workers losing jobs, growers using more pesticides and the food supply becoming less safe.
"The fundamental question for consumers is who and, now, what do you want picking your food; a machine or a human, who with the proper training and support, can" ... take significant steps to ensure a safer, higher quality product, said Erik Nicholson, national vice president of the United Farm Workers of America.
On the Salinas Valley farm, entrepreneurs with Mountain View-based startup Blue River Technology are trying to show that the Lettuce Bot can not only replace two dozen workers, but also improve production.
In southern California, engineers with the Spanish company Agrobot are taking on the challenge by working with local growers to test a strawberry harvester.
The machine is equipped with 24 arms whose movement is directed through an optical sensor; it allows the robot to make a choice based on fruit color, quality and size.
The berries are plucked and placed on a conveyor belt, where the fruit is packed by a worker.

aww Kourt you look so cute
Kourtney is that u and Jlo I love Jlo
well ur too cute and for you to be due in dec ur belly is so little awww so cute
and kim looks good like always ??????? and where is khole -
hey kourtney u still look good for being pregnate dont let nobody tell u different gurl…lol…but congrats on everything and just keep doing u..much love to u and ur family…xoxo..
You ladies look ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!!
It always satisfies me to see both you and Kim looking so happy and healthy, Kourtney, but I'll bet you already knew that!
you look radiant
You look beautiful Kourt but I must say that Kim's obsession with JLo has gone to extremes..Kim's looks have changed so much in the last couple of months..her face looks like it is full of botox and she looks way more fake than usual..instead of trying to copy JLo she should try to find her own identity and focus on something other than how she looks..like read a book or get in touch with her heart and soul and maybe get an education? Sadly, her looks are fading and she seems pretty lost..the girl really needs a Plan B for her life rather than trying to compete with Khloe and try and land a black athlete..she has failed at that and should really try to gain some substance instead of being so empty and uninteresting
Kourt, you look great. It's great to see that you have your own identity. Unlike Kim…she's so obviously trying to look like Jennifer Lopez. It's pretty pathetic and she needs to find her own identity and stop trying to duplicate those that already exist. You and Khloe are the favorite Kardashians of all my friends, family and co-workers!
Kourt, congrats on the baby, they always bring out the best in a person and also make a persons life much more meaningful. As for Kim she looks fab and I hope that you are not going to pass on the message of her trying to look like JLO, she is far more beautiful than JLO and I am so sure that she is in touch with herself as well as her style. Wishing you all the best. Love Shell xox

Laid low by the bougainvillea | Joe Aaron column
This world, as you must be aware, is filled with all manner of ailments, vapors, distempers and Monday morning blahs to which the human being, often a fragile creature, is the reluctant heir.
Some people suffer from rheumatism that enables them to predict rain, and some suffer the heartbreak of psoriasis, and still others come down with cricks in their necks so that if they forget and look around suddenly, they say, "Ouch!"
I once chatted with an elderly gentleman who had difficult in swallowing solid foods, so he had lived for many years on practically nothing but eggnog and Jack Daniels sour mash whiskey.
He was in fine fettle at the age of 80, and there was a beatific smile on his face that never faded.
But of all the diseases you can name, I believe mine is the worst of all, and certainly the most embarrassing.
It will slyly let you go along for months thinking you have beaten it and then, without the civility of a warning, it will hit you — WHOP! — a smarting blow.
It is called the Bougainvillea Syndrome, and its primary targets are newspaper columnists who pretend to know a whole lot more than any detailed examination would substantiate.
Newspaper columnists often state things they believe to be true, only they're not 100 percent totally certain, and they didn't have time to check, and then somebody — there's always somebody — will inform them they are unlettered jackasses.
And that is the disease we have come to call the Bougainvillea Syndrome, since I once raved with unrestrained lyricism over the magnificent fragrance of the bougainvillea of Mexico — only to be told by several reliable sources bougainvillea has no fragrance at all.
I could have praised flowers ranging from the azalea to the zinnia, from the apple blossom to the Zamboanga iris, without fear of contradiction, and people undoubtedly would have been astounded by my knowledge.
But I cited the bougainvillea, perhaps the solitary blossom in all creation that does not excite the nostrils.
After lying dormant for many months, until I relaxed under the certainty that I had outgrown it, it has reappeared with a vengeance.
Some days ago, I said in olden times when I was fieldstripping cigarette butts as a soldier, boots were supposed to shine "like Johannesburg diamonds."
Of all the things I have written — of all the millions of words — I never wrote one that I felt safer with.
In a letter postmarked that same day, practically before the ink was dry on that edition, I heard from a reader in Newburgh-on-the-Ohio.
He told me there is no such thing as a Johannesburg diamond, unless you go looking for one in a jewelry store. They are not mined there, or anywhere nearby.
He said I could have referred to the Kimberly diamond. Or the Pretoria diamond. Or the brilliant diamond of Tanganyika.
But the Johannesburg diamond does not exist.
And even if it did, it would have no more fragrance than a bougainvillea.
He noted: "The influence of 'Tarzan of the Apes' is still with us. Ask any good burgher, 'What do you find in Africa?' and he'll say, 'Diamonds, naturally.'
"Such is the power of the movies.
"But diamonds form only a minuscule part of South Africa's exports, whereas it ships four-fifths of all the Free World's supply of gold."
OK, I stand corrected.
If I'd said boots had to shine like reflected sunshine on a whitewashed barn, would I have been held up to such public ridicule? And whatever happened to poetic license?
The man's letter wasn't a total defeat, however, because he complimented me for not using words such as "arcane," "panache" and "paradigm," which the press has lately discovered.
Yeah, and don't forget I haven't used "viable" yet, either, or "early on." That ought to count for something.

Yearbooks are expensive. But generally, students are happy to fork over money, understanding that in return they will receive a hard copy of good memories.
That's not the case with Southern University in Louisiana where the last yearbook issued was for the 2007-2008 academic year.
According to a report released by the Louisiana Legislative Auditor, Southern University has collected $817,000 from students for yearbooks, and charged $233,699 in expenses to the yearbook account. The reports shows that the expenses included cameras, computers and office supplies.
Allen Brown, the assistant legislative auditor who supervised the investigation, told ABC News that the university did not do anything illegal, but they did unduly charge students.
"Money is tight and students are being asked to pay more, so if you are paying for a yearbook you ought to get one," said Brown.
The yearbook for the 2007-2008 year was not released until 2011. No books have been published for succeeding classes.
From 2003 until the spring of 2012, students were charged 37.50 annually in yearbook fees—$15 for each semester and $7.50 for the summer, according to the report.
Some students at the university don't feel they have been treated unfairly.
Chance Blouin, who will be a senior at Southern University this fall and is also a member of the student government, told ABC News he was not particularly angry that he was charged for non-existent yearbooks.
"I would love to have a yearbook and I know it will come out, but I know it takes time for certain things," he told ABC News. He said his friends harbored similar sentiments.
He said that "75 percent off the school probably wouldn't care, but that's from my personal experience."
But the auditor disagreed. "It's called a yearbook, not an every four year book."
Fred Batiste, the publications adviser for student media at Southern University, said in the report that the yearbooks were not produced because of staff shortages. Two editors-in-chief had resigned, he said.
Heather Freeman, who is currently director of student media, was hired in 2012 and says in the report that a collective yearbook will be issued this fall, encompassing all academic years from 2008 to the present.

Studies tell us men are hopeless at it while women seem to be born with the ability to do it and do it well. Multi-tasking that is. That ambidextrous ability to cook a meal, do a de-brief about the weekend with a friend all the while keeping up with exactly who looks like they are sweating in the pressure test on Masterchef.
The question is: is there room for people of both sexes to get better at multi-tasking when it comes to spending their money?
I realised that every time I flashed my library card I was getting more value for the money I was spending on council rates every quarter
Most of the time when we think about budgeting we associate it with cutting back and sacrificing, but what about the value that comes from getting more from the dollars you are already spending?
Earlier this year I felt it was time to face up to one of my spending weaknesses: books. I can't buy one book without buying four and at roughly $120 per bookshop visit, my reading habit was costing me more than a trip to a day spa. Buying second-hand books was one way of reducing its hold on my budget. But I decided it was time to go hard-core and I did something I hadn't really done since I was a kid: I paid a visit to my local library.
Expecting daggy, musty, fusty I was almost surprised to find it had books I wanted to read and not only books, there were magazines and DVDs that I could borrow.
I also discovered the library was open to requests. I could ask the powers-that-be to buy any book and provided they agreed to the purchase I'd be the first in the queue to borrow it when it hit the shelves.
Now rarely a week goes by when I don't drop into the library and rather than feeling like it's a trip into some kind of dusty underworld, it actually makes me feel more attached to the community I live in and reminds me of just how much I used to love the excitement of visiting the library in the school holidays when I was I little.
Better yet – I realised that every time I flashed my library card I was getting more value for the money I was spending on council rates every quarter. If I truly wanted to adopt a glass half-full way of thinking about it, changing my book-buying habits would also serve me well the next time I move house. Fewer possessions would mean faster, cheaper moves.
My experience with the library prompted something of a frenzy of re-examining my spending. Multi-tasking. It was my new favourite thing. Were there other ways I could get my money doing double duty? My gym membership became a target too. If I was unmotivated and only managed to get there once a fortnight that visit would cost me $50. Go three times a week and my cost per visit dropped to about $8 and suddenly I was getting much better value for my spend. Plus there was no need for a supersize-me wardrobe upgrade and when I was otherwise occupied at the gym I wasn't hanging out in the pub, going to the movies or buying more books.
Sure I was spending $3 each morning to have coffee at my favourite café but combine that with a flick of the daily newspapers of all persuasions as well as some of my favourite magazines and it started to look like money well spent. Just buying a single issue of World of Interiors would cost me $23 anyway.
The dollars I'm spending might not have radically reduced (apart from my bookshop habit - it's now been six months and I haven't picked up a single book in a bookshop yet) but I'm definitely getting more value out of my spending.

Above: All emblems from chapter 5
Emblem 1: As Chris, you'll need to crawl through a fan that Piers stops for you early in the chapter. Once you stand up, you can see the emblem right in front of you. If you're Piers, you can shoot through the floor grating to hit this emblem before or after you shut off the fan.
Emblem 2: After Chris and Piers meet up again on the elevator, they'll next encounter a door requiring them both to pry it open. As soon as you pass through that door, look up and to the right (take out the two enemies that enter first, if you wish). The emblem is in the high passage way where the J'avo spawn.
Emblem 3: During your run through the tube, you'll reach a section where all is quiet. Simply look down at the ground to the side to find an emblem.
Emblem 4: Just before the third flesh barrier, look to your right. You'll find an emblem on the wall, though you don't have much time to shoot it.

We thought this recipe was quite tasty, although we "punched it up" a bit with a little crushed red pepper and a smidgen more of the wine. It's really good with some pasta and a nice salad, dressed with a balsamic vinaigrette.
A most delicious rendition of cacciatore, reminiscent of my own aunt's much anticipated Sunday afternoon dinner. Yummmmmm.

Hi, I have been a lurker on GW and I have learnt so much!! I have to choose between the Kohler Ladena or the Ronbo sink that looks similar...this is the model number for it 200521WH. Any thoughts? The Ronbow sink is about $50 cheaper but wondering if the Kohler is better quality. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
In our small bathroom in our last two houses we have the small cabinet with the bow front Ronbow sink. My wife liked it enough that she wanted it in the new re-model at our new (old) place. Otherwise we have Kohler sinks throughout. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a Ronbow. What do you like the most. $50 saving for the second choice could drive you nuts down the road |

"Didn't work in Windows 7 for me"
Version: The Font Thing 0.80 beta 2
Sounds like the perfect font manager
Didn't work for me in Windows 7
I tried the process recommended by the earlier poster, but still received an error message: "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are running." I am using Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit. Bummer.
"Love this program"
Version: The Font Thing 0.80 beta 2
It worked a treat in XP, loads in my Windows 7 but at them moment, it freezes up when trying to install a font and greys out the add to collection command but I'm going to try the instructions from comment number 1 - fingers crossed. I find this invaluable for my design work.
Blips in Windows 7
I find this a really simple and effective font viewer and arranger, so I can quickly go to fonts of similar styles for certain designs.
"It works with Windows 7!! Hooray!"
Version: The Font Thing 0.80 beta 2
This is an outstanding program (and the only one I'm aware of) that lets you compare fonts. There's a character map so you can see all the characters in a font. You can also type in your own words to see what they'll look like in each font.
I really can't think of any.
I was able to get this to work in Windows 7. I downloaded the file (NOT the install file but the smaller EXE file) then unzipped it with 7-Zip into the Downloads file it was in (I tried to unzip it into a Font Thing file I created under Program Files but that didn't work). After I'd successfully unzipped it I moved the unzipped files to the Font Thing file I'd created under Program Files, double clicked the application file and it opened. I'm very happy to still have access to this helpful program on my new computer!
"For Vista Users"
Version: The Font Thing 0.80 beta 2
Great app for any graphics user.
None. Except the original developer didn't stayed behind his great creation and didn't update it.
What I did to install it on my Vista x64 PC was I opened setup.exe file on my home networked XP machine and when promted for install directory, I selected networked Vista PC's Program folder and installed it through local network. Give it a try.
"This won't work on Windows Vista."
Version: The Font Thing 0.80 beta 2
I had this on my old computer and it was fantastic.
This won't work on Windows Vista.
Please, please, please update so that it can be installed on Windows Vista and Windows 7. Thank you.
"Would not work with Window 7. Bummer"
Version: The Font Thing 0.80 beta 2
None, I couldn't get it to load
It wouldn't load.
Don't try to use it with Windows 7.
"Its the best free font program EVER"
Version: The Font Thing 0.80 beta 2
I can see all my fonts, load or install or uninstall, change the size, choose the sentence.. its perfect
does not work with my new Windows 7...l cant find anything else comparable at all
Want to see what fonts you have and use them or get rid of ones you dont use.. this is the program to use!
"No one in graphics should be without The Font Thing!"
Version: The Font Thing 0.80 beta 2
Its ease of use. Handles all graphics and stores them in in your own, self-created folders.
None. At least not for what I use this program for.
No dislikes.
"Gets the job done"
Version: The Font Thing 0.80 beta 2
Easy to use
There's nothing I don't like about this software.
Does what it's supposed to do, clean interface.
"Not for Vista x64 bit or Windows 7"
Version: The Font Thing 0.80 beta 2
I was excited to use it--sounds great if you have an older system
Not that many people are still running versions OLDER than XP. How about making a version usable for XP and above, especially now that Windows 7 is out.
Needs updating!!!

Duke Energy Must Eliminate Source Of Pollution At Coal Ash Ponds
A state judge has ordered the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and Duke Energy to take immediate action to stop groundwater contamination at Duke Energy plants.
Today's decision stems from a lawsuit filed in 2012 by Environmentalists. Groups claimed that DENR was not doing an adequate job of enforcing state regulations regarding groundwater contamination. Superior Court judge Paul Ridgeway told DENR and Duke today they must take immediate action to stop the source of groundwater contamination at 14 sites with coal ash ponds.
DJ Gerken is a Senior Attorney with the Southern Environmental Law Center. He says dealing with the source means removing coal ash: "This is a big engineering task, it's going to take time to implement. But surely what immediate means is that this cannot sit and wait and study a problem we have already diagnosed."
Today's ruling also indicates the state does have the authority to force Duke to deal with the source of contamination, something state regulators have denied having.
DENR has come under widespread scrutiny following a coal ash spill in Eden 32 days ago. Environmentalists claim the agency is too cozy with Duke. Federal prosecutors launched a criminal investigation into DENR and Duke's relationship.
