Good to know that our Sun has a sibling. Any idea where the parents are?
May 8, 2014
AUSTIN, Texas — A team of researchers led by astronomer Ivan Ramirez of The University of Texas at Austin has identified the first "sibling" of the sun — a star almost certainly born from the same cloud of gas and dust as our star. Ramirez's methods will help astronomers find other solar siblings, which could lead to an understanding of how and where our sun formed, and how our solar system became hospitable for life. The work appears in the June 1 issue of The Astrophysical Journal.
"We want to know where we were born," Ramirez said. "If we can figure out in what part of the galaxy the sun formed, we can constrain conditions on the early solar system. That could help us understand why we are here."
Additionally, there is a chance, "small, but not zero," Ramirez said, that these solar sibling stars could host planets that harbor life. In their earliest days within their birth cluster, he explains, collisions could have knocked chunks off of planets, and these fragments could have traveled between solar systems, and perhaps even may have been responsible for bringing primitive life to Earth. "So it could be argued that solar siblings are key candidates in the search for extraterrestrial life," Ramirez said.
The solar sibling his team identified is called HD 162826, a star 15 percent more massive than the sun, located 110 light-years away in the constellation Hercules. The star is not visible to the unaided eye but easily can be seen with low-power binoculars, not far from the bright star Vega.
The team identified HD 162826 as our sun's sibling by following up on 30 possible candidates found by several groups around the world looking for solar siblings. Ramirez's team studied 23 of these stars in depth with the Harlan J. Smith Telescope at McDonald Observatory, and the remaining stars (visible only from the southern hemisphere) with the Clay Magellan Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. All of these observations used high-resolution spectroscopy to get a deep understanding of the stars' chemical make-up.
But several factors are needed to really pin down a solar sibling, Ramirez said. In addition to chemical analysis, his team also included information about the stars' orbits — where they had been and where they are going in their paths around the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Considering both chemistry and orbits narrowed the field of candidates down to one: HD 162826.
No one knows whether this star hosts any life-bearing planets. But by "lucky coincidence," Ramirez said, the McDonald Observatory Planet Search team has been observing HD 162826 for more than 15 years. Studies by The University of Texas' Michael Endl and William Cochran, together with calculations by Rob Wittenmyer of the University of New South Wales, have ruled out any massive planets orbiting close to the star (so-called hot Jupiters), and indicate that it's unlikely that a Jupiter analog orbits the star. The studies do not rule out the presence of smaller terrestrial planets.
The finding of a single solar sibling is intriguing, but Ramirez points out the project has a larger purpose: to create a road map for how to identify solar siblings, in preparation for the flood of data expected soon from surveys such as Gaia, the European Space Agency mission to create the largest and most precise 3-D map of the Milky Way.
The data coming soon from Gaia is "not going to be limited to the solar neighborhood," Ramirez said, noting that Gaia will provide accurate distances and proper motions for a billion stars, allowing astronomers to search for solar siblings all the way to the center of our galaxy. "The number of stars that we can study will increase by a factor of 10,000," Ramirez said.
He says his team's road map will speed up the process of winnowing down the field of potential solar siblings.
"Don't invest a lot of time in analyzing every detail in every star," he said. "You can concentrate on certain key chemical elements that are going to be very useful." These elements are ones that vary greatly among stars, which otherwise have very similar chemical compositions. These highly variable chemical elements are largely dependent on where in the galaxy the star formed. Ramirez's team has identified the elements barium and yttrium as particularly useful.
Once many more solar siblings have been identified, astronomers will be one step closer to knowing where and how the sun formed. To reach that goal, the dynamics specialists will make models that run the orbits of all known solar siblings backward in time to find where they intersect: their birthplace.

The parents died in gigantic supernova explosions.
4. carlos santos said on May 9, 2014
So by measuring the distance from our Sun to HD 162826 that could give the idea of how big the supernova was thus estimating the primordial star size. The primordial star's size probably five to six times the Sun's size. Anything above that, then we are entertaining neutron star level, which is not conductive to second generation star formation.

It's quite sad, but actually all stars are orphans. Their parents explode and give rise to dense clouds of gas and heavy elements, and new star are born inside those clouds... Stars are more like phoenixes in a way.
6. Thomas Sevcik said on May 9, 2014
This should make for a good public star party "must-see!" for those of us members in a astronomy club. With Comet C/2012 K1 (PanSTARRS) and the Camelopardalis meteor shower also visible this month, these present great opportunities for our outreach programs.

Brother...sister? You have got to be kidding. While it may all have come from the Big B. To call anything brother and sister begs some serious scientific thought
8. John Maguire said on May 10, 2014
The mind boggles! With so much theorising and, may I say, perhaps the fitting of data to all these notions, I am on the brink of becoming a hard-nosed agnostic as far as macro and micro astronomy science is concerned. Maybe "sceptic" is a better word. I will still keep my telescope to simply enjoy the beauty of the heavens.

but why don't its light reaches to earth if it is 110ly away
10. david (england) said on May 11, 2014
really interesting to know where to point to in the sky to show my 9 year old daughter where one of our suns sisters is. she will enjoy that. and for us (humans) to eventually be able to pinpoint where in the galaxy our sun formed would be a really cool thing.
11. Roland said on May 12, 2014
@Xerxes Aga
Parents are dead as the sun was formed in a gascloud that partially was made up from heavier elements than hydrogen and helium. Anything heavier than H and He is made in stars that release those heavier elements at the end of their lives by going supernova meaning that the star selfdestructs by exploding. The gas expelled from the now dead star becomes available to form new stars.
Take the salmon as an analogy. It lays eggs and then dies. The new generation comes into existence without ever knowing their parents.

It is a pity that the Kepler does not see until HD 162826.

For nearly two centuries, the Hardins have considered Strang Knob - a community tucked into a westward-flung finger of the Appalachians - the center of their universe. On a day "when the clouds began to spit snow" Raphael's father, Tom Hardin, set mink traps with his bride-to-be, Rose Ella, and touched something in her heart forever by plunging into a flooded river to save a drowning dog. Throughout the raising of seven children, Rose Ella and Tom's love became a slipknot; the harder they strained at it, the tighter it bound them one to another.
But for their children, the Hardin household was both a nest of plain affection and a place to leave. Now when Tom speaks to his urbanized sons and daughters, he feels as if he's calling across a river of neckties and office lights. It falls on Miss Camilla Perkins, the Hardins' next door neighbor, to provide shelter for Raphael, who has been diagnosed with AIDS. In her home he hooks up his intravenous tube while his hungry heart feeds off the spinster's memories of a simpler, though never easy, era. Through the intricately interwoven stories of the Hardin parents and children, Scissors, Paper, Rock contrasts the families we inherit - our blood ties - with the families we choose, our partners in love and our friends. After making love with a childhood friend in his parents' backyard, Raphael muses: "Who are those who will remember him? Who will remember the artistic sons gone to distant cities to die of euphemisms?"

I was surprised just how much I liked this recipe and how easy it was to make! I don't have a skillet capable of going into the oven so I did the first part of the cooking in the skillet and then transferred it to a pie pan for the oven cooking. It turned out great and was a good main dish that both vegetarians and non-vegetarians can enjoy!
I was hesitant to make this dish because of the amount of mint in it. I barely noticed it at all. (I did use dried mint instead of fresh) I also used fat free ricotta cheese, and it was still wonderful. Happy Cooking!

"Fantastic client base, impressive growth - but probably fits some people better than others "

- Senior Management
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at Alexander Mann Solutions full-time (less than an year)
ProsIf you're a recruiter who has previously worked in an agency environment, I do think you'll find the company culture really refreshing. Compared to previous agency recruitment jobs I've had, the pressure at AMS is much less intense and there's so much more of a focus on ensuring that the sourcing centre is a fun and vibrant place to work (you don't get death stared when you leave on time and there's no pressure to work extra hours!)
I also think the holiday allowance is pretty generous; I get 26 days a year, in my previous roles I only got 20. Having that extra time can make so much difference. I'd say the benefits you can opt in for are pretty good as well, particularly healthcare and pension.
The other thing I really like about AMS is that they are committed to doing an ongoing review of you, in the sense of setting you objectives to better yourself and further your career. It just makes things really transparent in terms of how pay rises and promotions are worked out; it's done on merit and achievement and not on how well you get on with your manager. There's also quite an open culture in terms of people being able to move around internally; you aren't seen as a "traitor" if you choose to move on elsewhere in the organisation.
The client base is pretty impressive; the one thing that attracted me to RPO in the first place was being able to work with big brands, so it's been a great change from working in a small agency with small clients.ConsI think it's an ideal working environment if you're sick of agency work/culture and you're looking for a role where the pressure is less intense.
However, I don't think it's an ideal fit if you're incredibly ambitious and you want to go places very quickly; whilst it doesn't have the same pressure as agency, it doesn't have the same remuneration or fast career progression. If you're considering a move to RPO but you don't want to give up those two things it probably isn't for you.
I'd also point out that RPO is a lot more "structured" than agency; there are a lot more processes and procedures to follow. This isn't a criticism, but if you're the sort of person who hates the idea of having to deal with that it's almost certainly not for you.Advice to ManagementAdviceKeep going as you are; I have a lot of faith in Rosaleen (the CEO for those who don't know).

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.

Thesis a** Approximately 30,000 mostly twenty to thirty-somethings took to
the streets in Portugal in a Facebook-organized protest against job
instability on March 12; similar protests -- that are generally
anti-establishment, anti-elite and not organized by the opposition -- have
also taken place in Greece and EU hopeful Croatia this year. Polling
suggests that Francea**s far-right, anti-EU National Front is gaining
momentum with Marine Le Pen two percentage points ahead of President
Nicolas Sarkozy and Socialist party leader Martine Aubry, while
Finlanda**s True Finn Party has climbed in support as well. Anti-EU
positions are fueling their rises in popularity. Protests and anti-EU
sentiment in general could continue to rise with economic hardship, and

how much remains to be seen. The underlying factor is that this is a
result of continued economic de-synchronization brought on by the

o 03/14/2011 a** IMF released another 4.1 billion euros ($5.7 billion)
A. Unemployment 15 percent
A. Economy is expected to shrink by 3 percent in 2011
A. Far left resorting to violence, history of left terrorism
A. Socialist government in Athens seems to be satisfied by the new
terms of the bailout, which cuts the interest rate to 4.2 percent from 5.2
percent a** might quell protests momentarily however long-term protests
cannot be ruled out if poor economic conditions continue
A. Public opinion in EU hopeful Croatia has been jaded by the
high-level corruption of the two largest, and most vocally pro-EU parties,
the ruling Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) and the opposition-leading
Social Democratic Party (SDP), culminating in a 15,000 person protest in
Zagreba**s capital on Feb 22

A. Croatia is expected to receive a date sometime in June, 2011
A. 350,000 unemployed
A. French right-wing sees a re-birth in polling, with Marine Le
Pen of the far-right National Front receiving 23% support in a major poll,
2% points ahead of the Social Democrats and ruling UMP respectively a** a
substantial increase NF polls steadily at around 17%
A. The party is modernizing and softening its former neo-fascist
image a** claiming it is simply anti-immigration, not xenophobic
A. Visited Lampedusa on March 14
A. The party plays off of banlieu violence and minority crime to
garnish support, in addition to French nationalism / national pride
A. Preaches fiscal conservatism a** France first
A. Chance of governing a** slim due to electoral system and
chances of a center/left compromise to keep the NF out of power
A. The True Finn party is moving fast towards becoming the largest
opposition party, this is due to Finnish discontent over Greek and Irish
bailouts worth 110 billion and 85 billion euros respectively, both of
which are partially funded by Finland. The True Finna**s message is that
Finland should not be punished for the financial irresponsibility of
others is resonating with Finns
A. This is compounded by the European Financial Stability Facility
(EFSF) which the True Finn, and many Finns in general, see as an
infringement on national sovereignty
A. True Finns have climbed to 17.9 percent support, just behind
Prime Minister Jyrki Katainena**s National Collection Party (20.2 percent)
and the Center Party (18.2 percent)

Music Review: Christopher Owens
4/5 stars
Christopher Owens released his first album as the frontman for Girls in 2009. The album had a '70s rock vibe with harsher edge and showcased Christopher Owens' now-iconic vocals. Beyond the music, the wild story of his childhood—from his former membership in the cult Children and God and busking travels all over Europe to his plush San Francisco songwriter life with his tall blonde girlfriend—became well-known to his ardent fans. He's grown into his unexpected stardom and clearly knows his own genius, but he has always been self-conscious about his rough voice. He has even tweeted at Justin Bieber asking if he could write songs for him, presumably because he'd rather Bieber sang than him. In July, Owens shocked fans with the news that he was leaving Girls to pursue a solo career, and this is the first music we've heard from Owens since.
With Lysandre, Owens' voice becomes somewhat smoother and the album loses the harsh energy in Girls' albums. "Just a Song" was Owen's favorite track after the last album, and Lysandre builds off of that tone. It's nothing that will appeal to fans of the song "Die," but the soft romantic vibe of Lysandre has its merits. The album is narrative in all senses of the word. The tracks neatly map a quintessential story of love and loss: the relationship's initial excitement, its ups and downs, its melancholy end and nostalgic epilogue. If that wasn't Shakespearean enough, its title alludes to one of the characters in A Midsummer Night's Dream, and opener "Lysandre's Theme," has a single line from a flautist might as well have come from the Renaissance era and that repeats throughout the album. Imagine Christopher Owens, the troubadour, serenading 16th-century Florence, making references to some yet-to-exist NYC punk life, and you'll get something like Lysandre.
"Here We Go" introduces the album as a love story, and, as is true with some of his earlier work, Owens' writing is somewhat sappy: "And if your heart is broken, you will find fellowship in me." Some of the tracks on the album ("Here We Go" in particular) could be written off as corny James Taylor-like, been-there heard-that songs in the worst sense. This doesn't really worry Owens. "What if everybody just thinks I'm a phony/ What if nobody ever gets it?/ Shouldn't care what people think," Owens sings, demonstrating his unabashed joy in writing simple love songs for their own sake. There is a part of 'phony' rock that many of us cling to even when it's kitschy and cliched, and Owens somehow makes me feel less bashful about enjoying them. "A Broken Heart" is a great song to cure dejection and heartbreak: it might be better for that purpose than any song from Girls. Although tracks are often predictable, they are catchy and resonant. "Here We Go Again" may sound like it could be played at a 1950s Grease-type senior prom, but that's not so bad a thing. Owens isn't afraid to sound like other artists, as he articulates beautifully in "Love is in the Ear of the Listener": "Well, everything to say has been said before/ That's not what makes or breaks a song." His love songs—especially "Lysandre's Epilogue"—evoke feelings of regret that are universally relatable. He's repurposed and repackaged ideas that have been said thousands of times before in a way that audiences can still latch onto throughout their own Lysandre-esque stories.

Storage no, Access yes (262 comments)
The cloud is no place to store your data. Clouds are, by their nature temporary and a very vapourous item. I want my data on my servers. I need to be able to access the data from anywhere. I have no trust that the cloud where I store my data will not disappear, go out of business or otherwise vanish. I might keep a backup on a cloud server (as long as only I have a password and the encryption is 256bit) but, never my primary data.
Revelence in the information age. (174 comments)
When did the internet revolve around what the RIAA thought. It seems that their ultimate concern is that they will become irrevelant and end up with the buggy whip manufacturers. The world they were created in no longer exists and they are fighting to keep it around. What will happen if the RIAA is not around... nothing at all. Good bye, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

It looks like their site has stopped responding and offline. Making a dumb move and then a stupid comment can cause website outage.
Creators vs distributors (221 comments)
DRM is a method by which the distributors can keep charging consumers ad nauseum for access to what they already have paid for. Same goes for media format changes (LP, Cassette, CD, VHS, Beta, DVD, MP3, etc...) We are living an age where you don't purchase anything, you only rent it monthly or weekly.
When you purchase a blender you own it. You can use it as you choose, where, when and how.
Imagine if when you paid for a blender there was a EULA that stated that you actually did not purchase the blender but only a license to use it. Also by "opening this blender you agree to only blend drinks for 4 people or less" (you could purchase a license for a 4 to 8 person blender) and that you could not have any alcoholic product in the blender. And that if you violated any of the EULA that the licenser of the blender could turn off the blender remotely and you have no leave for appeal. That effectively is what the distributors of music want and DRM is the enforcement mechanism.
We have become the ultimate in consumer society, we can now pay money for items we can never own. What's next on the restricted list, cars, shoes, clothing, food... (by purchasing this potato you agree that it will used for its nutritional content only and not for use in advertising or promotion, and built into it is a chip to sense camera lights and explode the potato to prevent such uses)
We need to take back our rights as consumers, avoid DRM protected media, and challenge EULA's at every opportunity (most won't hold up in court anyway). Lets stop purchasing rights and start purchasing products.

A speedy way to find gorgeous stylish haircuts
Many women desire for a stylish haircut. However, with the hundreds of hairstyles you can find online, it's really difficult to find one that would suit your face.
Also, a haircut that looks great on your friend, or a celebrity haircut, may turn out to be disappointing for you. That's as your face shape may not suit that haircut that has caught your eye.
So, what are your options? Well, this is what most women would do:
1) Identify their face shape
2) Nail down haircuts to avoid
3) Browse hairstyle magazines and websites for celebrity haircuts
4) Print out a photograph of a desired haircut
5) Pay a visit to the hairstylist, and show him or her the photograph
The fact is, THERE IS AN EASIER WAY to a gorgeous haircut. Online hairstyle editing software makes you see yourself in the haircut you desire. This is not new as many hair salons are already using this software.
While this expensive software is used to help their clients decide which hair they'd like, the good news is that you can select a stylish haircut from the comfort of your own home!
Also, with the easy-to-use color palette, you can even decide to change the color of your hair if you want. You no longer have to worry if a hair color suits your skin tone. It doesn't matter if you are considering celebrity haircuts or elaborate wedding or prom hairstyles. You can spend hours previewing what looks best on you!
There are only three simple steps to using the online hairstyle editing software. First, get a friend to take a digital photograph of you.
Forward facing shots are good, and make sure you are smiling to get the best effect out of the software. Stand against a white wall or a white colored background, and ensure that your hair is pulled back, with ears exposed.
Then, upload your picture to the online hairstyle editing software.
Finally, use the features in the software to crop your natural hair from the image. Select a stylish haircut from our hairstyle templates, and resize it to fit your face. If you'd like to color your hair, select from the palette of colors available.
With a save and print feature, you can then bring the photo to the hair salon to show them EXACTLY what you want!
And, how much is this online hairstyle editing software? ONLY $9.99 a year!
P/S: If you sign up TODAY, you'll get these 2 value-added BONUSES for FREE!
Hair style Gallery – An online photo gallery with more than 3.950 stylish haircuts to choose from. More hairstyles are added daily. Review the gallery and make your own favorites list.

MDH Release Final Analysis Of St. Cloud Hospital Blood Outbreak
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has released their final analysis of a blood infection outbreak in the St. Cloud Hospital. The outbreak occurred in February 2011 and was connected to a health care worker diverting narcotics from IV bags. The St. Cloud Hospital informed the MDH in March of 2011 that a health care worker had admitted to diverting narcotics.
The MDH identified 25 patients at the St. Cloud Hospital that had unusual bacteria in their blood. The patients were all in the same post-surgery ward of the hospital and received IV-pain-killing narcotics. According to MDH, one of the patients died within two days of being infected, three had unplanned surgeries, and six required intensive care.
In coalition with the Minnesota Hospital Association the MDH have outlined a number of resources for health care facilities to use to better their prevention programs of drug diversions.

The Futures: The Rise of the Speculator and the Origins of the World's Biggest Markets (Large Print 16pt)In The Futures, Emily Lambert, senior writer at Forbes magazine, tells us the rich and dramatic history of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Chicago Board of Trade, which together comprised the original, most bustling futures market in the world. She details the emergence of the futures business as a kind of meeting place for gamblers and farmers and its subsequent transformation into a sophisticated electronic market where contracts are traded at lightning-fast speeds. Lambert also details the disastrous effects of Wall Street's adoption of the futures contract without the rules and close-knit social bonds that had made trading it in Chicago work so well. Ultimately Lambert argues that the futures markets are the real ''free'' markets and that speculators, far from being mere parasites, can serve a vital economic and social function given the right architecture. The traditional futures market, she explains, because of its written and cultural limits, can serve as a useful example for how markets ought to work and become a tonic for our current financial ills. |

Roofing Contractors Association Of California Names Flyers Energy Preferred Fuel Supplier
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Jan. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Roofing Contractors Association of California (RCAC) has named Auburn-based Flyers Energy ( http://flyersenergy.com) as the preferred fuel supplier. Flyers will give a per-gallon discount to current members of the association.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121024/SF99438LOGO)
RCAC ( www.rcacal.com) primarily functions as an advocate for the roofing industry for legislative, regulatory, and business affairs. "Much of what we do addresses the roofing industry as a whole. It's nice to offer a tangible benefit to individual members," says Marc Connerly, Executive Director for RCAC. "For many contractors the annual savings from the negotiated discount will cover the cost of association membership."
For small companies with vehicles, fueling can be complicated, even risky, as managers must closely manage employees, methods of payment, and receipts. Electronic security features make fuel management more streamlined, eliminating some of the worry associated with the fueling of company vehicles by employees. Security controls are programmed into the fuel cards and include parameters like time and day restrictions, gallon limits and e-receipts. "There's a benefit for even small fleets to use a commercial fuel account, especially with a negotiated deal. RCAC already did the work," says Lynn Olson, Flyers Energy Director of Cardlock.
Flyers Energy, LLC franchises the Flyers fuel brand and distributes wholesale and branded retail fuel, commercial lubricants, renewable fuels and solar power in the United States. Flyers Energy is the largest member of the Commercial Fueling Network and also offers fueling at 230,000 locations nationwide with the Flyers Fleet Card.SOURCE Flyers Energy, LLC

Track 7 to host benefit tonight for The Met Sacramento High School's culinary program
Just got off an impromptu conference call with Craig Haarmeyer of Revolution Wines and Andrew Blaskovich, the food truck figurehead behind Drewski's Hot Rod Kitchen. They wanted to spread the word about a special event taking place from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. tonight at Track 7 Brewing Co. in Curtis Park which includes an appearance by Drewski's.
Tonight's benefit at Track 7 will raise money for a new culinary program coming to The Met Sacramento High School, the downtown Sacramento charter school. Proceeds from beer sales and Drewski's foods will go towards purchasing kitchen equipment and other goods for The Met.
This initiative stems from a senior project at The Met undertaken by Haarmeyer's daughter, which also includes developing a curriculum for the new culinary program. She'll receive some mentoring on developing these academic strategies by Teresa Urkofsky of American River College's culinary arts program.
Patrons are also welcome to donate restaurant quality supplies for The Met, including pots, pans and other kitchen tools.
Also, look for Blaskovich to debut a new sandwich tonight called The Beemer. This mouthful of a grilled sandwich features pastrami and a sesame-soy mustard sauce nestled inside a Bavarian pretzel roll from Ettore's.
"The sauce is similar to the mustard sauce at Benihana's," said Blaskovich. "It's the bomb diggity."

Hi folks,
I thought I remembered hearing before that there was another website dedicated to gun laws/concealed carry laws that more-or-less took the place of Packing.org (which is no longer reliably operational.)
Does anyone know the name of this other site?
Thanks in advance!

China allows corn imports from Brazil from start of April
Published on Apr 8, 2014 12:56 PM
BEIJING (Reuters) - China, the world's second-largest corn consumer, has allowed imports of the grain from Brazil from the start of this month, Chinese quarantine authorities said on Tuesday.
The government of Brazil, the world's No. 2 corn exporter, flagged the move late last year, but the start date was not revealed at that time.
China mainly imports corn from United States, but shipments from the country have been curbed after officials turned away about 1 million tonnes due to the presence of an unapproved genetically-modified strain.
In the wake of the rejections, it has stepped up imports from Ukraine. Argentina, Peru, Thailand and Laos are the other nations approved to ship corn to China.

We were already quite excited at the thought of Hong Kong movie legends John Woo and Chow Yun-Fat collaborating on a game but now, having played it, we need to lie down in a darkened room.
Coming from the team behind the marvellous Psi-Ops, it's a fast-paced Max Payne-style shooter with some absolutely monumental damage effects and a plethora of white doves - what with Woo himself handling story and style.
When you play, the damage and physics models firmly underlined - no surprises there, but at least a few examples of our adventures in Midway's two-tiered Hong Kong tea house demo level are perhaps required. We shot cushioned seating and feathers filled the air, fired bullets through shutters and watched light stream into the carnage. We even obliterated bottles and saw their contents cascade around us - even better, most of the time we were seeing all this stuff in slow-motion while in mid-air. Or 'Tequila Time' as Midway would have it. It's great, great fun.
As you run around the level Tequila, Yun Fat's grizzled cop automatically leaps and slides over tables and low surfaces. Interaction - of the non-bullet variety - comes whenever something nearby is highlighted on-screen. See a bannister light up and you'll be able to run up it, or slide down if you're in a more elevated position. Hit the foot of the bannister and tap the interaction button meanwhile, and you'll be able to tie these moves together - perhaps landing on a conveniently placed trolley and continuing your stylish licks lying on its back while guiding it round the tea shop, piling bullets into bystanders.
With outside vehicular levels promised, a cameo from the venerable Mr Woo and the return of Tequila's shouty boss, it's hard to see Stranglehold disappointing the fans - not least when it's possible to waste excessive amounts of time just filling its remarkable environments with hot lead. It's fair to say that in its current state Stranglehold's enemies aren't too bright, but when they die in such beautiful balletic ways its hard to care.

Gates are open from 10 am to 5 pm.
Well, it's the 144th birthday of Paul Leicester Ford. I know you're asking, who the heck's that guy? (Or maybe you're not, if you work at the Papers of Thomas Jefferson/Retirement Series). But perhaps you don't know about all the fascinating and cool things he did, so I'll tell you:
The Bradford pear trees are blooming this week (at least I think they're Bradford pear trees, but I have been known to misidentify plants), and for once on the first official day of the season it actually seems like said season. Just in time for all this, there's a new book from the University of Virginia Press: Historic Virginia Gardens: Preservation Wo
I've already mentioned this book in a previous blog post, but this blogger's discussion of David G. Post's In Search of Jefferson's Moose is so interesting I feel compelled to point it out. If this subject interests you in the least, it's well worth a look.
Just arrived inexplicably on our desk the other day (Museum Shop? Is that you, sending us presents?) - another book on Jefferson's relevance to today's issues of new technologies, intellectual property, and the laws that govern them:
In Search of Jefferson's Moose: Notes on the State of Cyberspace, by David G. Post (Oxford University Press, 2009)
I'm eagerly delving into a book that arrived just today: Antonio Molina, Patriarch of the Anthony Mullins Family: An American History, compiled by Marjorie O'Brien Casteel. Who is Antonio Molina, AKA Anthony Mullins (or "little Anthony," as Jefferson called him)? Mullins was one of the men brought to Virginia in 1773 by Philip Mazzei, friend and neighbor of Jefferson and collaborator in hi
Oh happy day: volume 5 of Papers of Thomas Jefferson: Retirement Series has arrived. This brings us up through March 1813 - only 13 years, 3 months, and 4 days to go! (Er, plus the remaining seven years of his presidency.)
An interesting work just arrived: Genius Genes: How Asperger Talents Changed the World, by Michael Fitzgerald and Brendan O'Brien (Autism Asperger Publishing Company, 2007).
In honor of Presidents' Day, I tried really hard to think of some Abraham Lincoln-themed material for this post, but the best I could come up with was a blurb about a work of fiction set during George Washington's presidency.
Just a quick note regarding the one item that caught my eye in the latest William & Mary Quarterly: Seth Cotlar of Willamette University reviews Gary Nash's and Graham Hodges' book Friends of Liberty: Thomas Jefferson, Tadeusz Kościuszko*, and Agrippa Hull: A Tale of Three Patriots, Two Revolutions, and a Tragic Betrayal of Freedom in the New Nation.
I do apologize for the slight dry spell in Summary View entries - last week seems to have gotten away from us. I blame our snow day-and-a-half.

Bought these for a friend's dogs and they loved them!
Love these toys. All three have sayings from the three stooges and go off randomly when your dog bites it. Very very funny if u like the three stooges. They hold up well too cause my dogs are tough on toys
We purchased this product months ago. It was backordered for weeks, and we were told it was shipped. We never received the product.
These are super cute, but the "Moe" did not work. After about 1 day of my dog playing, chewing on them, the other two didn't either.

Vertex Announces Phase 2 Results of Combination Treatment in People with One Copy of the F508del CF Mutation
July 31, 2014
Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc. announced results from a Phase 2 clinical trial of the cystic fibrosis drug ivacaftor (Kalydeco™) in combination with another potential therapy, lumacaftor, in people with one copy of the F508del mutation, ages 18 and older.
In the study, those who received the two drugs in combination did not demonstrate a significant improvement in lung function, a primary endpoint of the 8-week trial.
Both ivacaftor and lumacaftor are aimed at treating the underlying cause of CF — a defective protein, called CFTR, caused by mutations in the CF gene.
"While these results are disappointing, we knew from earlier trials that correcting the faulty protein in people with one copy of the F508del mutation would be especially challenging," said Robert J. Beall, Ph.D., president and CEO of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. "For this reason, the Foundation expanded our research funding to speed development of an additional compound, VX-661, and to support other second-generation programs to find more compounds that could be coupled with ivacaftor to treat those with one copy of this mutation."
Vertex said it may evaluate the potential ivacaftor and VX-661 combination treatment in those with only one copy of the F508del mutation.
"We are actively pursuing other promising opportunities to find new therapies to address the basic defect in all people with CF," added Beall. "It is likely that a three-drug combination will be needed to bring the greatest benefit to people with one copy of F508del."

Also, my username there is Anime^Fan.
Some things are just way too easy.You really are a very sharp one aren't you?
After ignoring the rule not to send out private messages to advertise a site, you proceed to private message a MODERATOR about joining a site. VERY smart! Though you probably won't read this before you are banned, i'd just like to thank you for making it so easy.

I actually ordered Tazo Green Tips as my refill at Starbucks this afternoon. I was given Refresh instead. Rather than complain (it was free!), I decided to look at the mistake as a dictate of fate. It had been a while, and yes, it was good.
There is a reason why Refresh is my most logged tea! Or I should say "tea". Simple yet oh-so-satisfying: tarragon and mint. I do feel a bit better now, having imbibed a venti Refresh after a grueling day of moving challenges.

'Conjugal visits' one of Arizona's top search terms
A real estate website looked at the the top search terms by state, and the results are almost too outrageous to be true.
Estately ran search queries through Google Trends to find out which words, terms and questions each state was searching for the most. The top searches are replete with musical artists and catch phrases to simply some of the oddest things you can imagine.
The results ranged from mildly amusing to completely disturbing.
In the case of Arizona, the top terms were: Conjugal visits, hippies, scorpion sting and "How are babies made?"
So when Estately picked one term for each state in order to construct a map of the country, Arizona's choice was "conjugal visits."
Well isn't that something we'd want to be known by?
Fortunately, many other states wear their vices on their sleeves, as seen in the graphic included.

John Travolta and His Pilot Were Together?
More scandal for John Travolta…
A new report by Radar claims that Travolta had a six-year gay affair with his pilot, Doug Gotterba. According to Travolta's former secretary and Gotterba's ex-boyfriend, Travolta and Gotterba were lovers in the 1980's.
Joan Edwards was Travolta's secretary from 1978 to 1994 and is the first ex-employee to publicly say Travolta was gay. She says that she's maintained a friendship with Gotterba, who caved to Travolta's advances and began a sexual relationship with Travolta because it was "lucrative."
Eventually, however, Gotterba's relationship with Travolta seemed to dispel; Gotterba became turned off by John's "hairy body" and his weight gain between movies. Though that ended tiehr relationship, there's more to their story. Check it out here.
I'm shocked by all of this- it seems like such a long time to live a lie- famous or not. Do you think these testimonies are fully true? False?
