Understanding Lupus
Systemic lupus is a disease that causes your body's immune system to attack its own cells and tissues. This can affect your joints and organs, such as the skin and kidneys. Lupus is most common in young adult women. It is an ongoing problem that can be serious, but it doesn't have to prevent you from doing the things you enjoy. You can help control lupus by living a healthy, balanced lifestyle. Be sure to see your doctor for regular checkups and lab work. At some point, your doctor may send you to a rheumatologist (a doctor who specializes in lupus, arthritis, and other related diseases).
Lupus can appear in many parts of the body. Because of this, it can affect people in different ways. Some of the most common symptoms of lupus include:
Swollen or painful joints (arthritis)
Sores in the mouth or nose
More severe symptoms, such as chest pain, edema (leg and ankle swelling), and stroke.
You aren't likely to have all of these symptoms. And the symptoms you do have may go away for some time (remission). If lupus flares up again, your symptoms may return the same as before.
Medications May Help
Medications can't cure lupus, but they can relieve symptoms. Some medications help prevent organ damage or suppress the disease. Your doctor will prescribe one or more medications to help you feel better. Be sure to take them as directed.
Keep a list of all your medications. Share the list with each doctor you see.
Don't skip a dose or stop taking a medication without talking with your doctor.
Find out if your medications should be taken with food.
Tell your doctor if you have any side effects, such as dizziness or stomach problems.
Be sure to have all the lab tests that your doctor orders.
Take Care of Yourself
Find the right balance of rest and activity.
Eat plenty of vegetables, fruits, and grains.
Maintain your proper weight.
Exercise a few times a week, at least. Try walking, swimming, or biking.
Learn ways to reduce or manage stress.
Stay out of the sun as much as you can. Use sunscreen with SPF
15 or higher.
Find Support
Lupus can put special demands on your life. Family and friends can be a good source of help and moral support. You may also want to join a support group for lupus patients. By talking with other people who have lupus, you may learn new ways to cope. You may also feel less alone. For more information, contact the following:

COURTS Humboldt California
The Superior Court of the California County of Humboldt, is to provide for the resolution of disputes and the enforcement of the laws in a way that is appropriate to the needs of the community and society.
The System
If an abusive person has broken the law, the police may choose to not arrest that person. If the officer doesn't arrest, you may ask the district attorney if they will charge the abusive person with a crime.
If the police take the defendant to jail, he or she may be released on bail within just a few hours. If you want to know when the defendant gets out of jail, call the jail. Also, some counties have a telephone notice system. Ask your local police department how to sign up.
If a police officer doesn't make an arrest at the time of the incident, the case can be assigned to a detective. If so, a police detective may interview people and collect more evidence. The police detective will decide whether to refer the case to the district attorney for review. The district attorney will view the report and decide whether to file charges.
If the district attorney files charges, a judge will sign a warrant for the defendant's arrest. If the defendant doesn't report to the court, the police will try to find him or her.
SMALL CLAIMS COURT is a special court where disputes are resolved quickly and inexpensively. The rules are simple and informal.
The person who sues is called the plaintiff.
The person who is sued is called the defendant .

WIX: a Distributed Internet Exchange
Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand, has one of the oldest and possibly largest distributed Internet exchanges in the world. It is built on top of the Citylink public LAN infrastructure. In this article, we look at how it all started and the part Linux plays in its day-to-day operation.
Back in the 1980s, Richard Naylor, then IT manager for the Wellington City Council, was stuck with a common but difficult problem—an over-utilized VAX cluster at one data centre and an under-utilized one at another centre across town. He came up with an idea that was unique for the time: run a fibre optic cable between the two council buildings and share processing resources that way. The idea was so new that a jointer had to be flown down from Auckland to do the splices on the now-ancient slotted core cable.
Naylor set up a 10Mbps Ethernet connection using DECBridges, and the network itself was running DECnet on a 10-base5 and a little 10-base2. Terminals comprised most of the load at the time, as PCs didn't network. The overall idea worked, and the system was upgraded to 10-baseT in 1989, with IP being added.
In the early 1990s, Naylor's idea caught the attention of then Mayor Fran Wilde, who was intrigued by what Naylor and colleague Charles Bagnall had been up to in what was called "their spare time". Mayor Wilde had attended a local secondary school production and noticed that it was being streamed live on the Internet by an off-duty Naylor.
After talking with Naylor and Bagnall, Wilde came to understand what was possible. Their design and the use of fibre could be used to provide a broadband infrastructure for the city, and that plan became a key part of a 25-year strategy for Wellington City.
Soon after, 17 investors, including the council, came up with $5,000 each, and three drums of fibre optic cable were run from one end of Wellington City to the other. The cable was run along overhead trolley bus electric support cables during November and December 1996. The primary aim was to provide an infrastructure to enable greater growth within the local business community.
In the first few years, Citylink expanded at a rate of 100% each year—doubling the number of connected buildings. At one point, the team connected 50 new buildings in ten weeks.
In 1997, Naylor left the council and helped set up Citylink as a separate company. The first customers were government departments and financial businesses, as central government is located in Wellington. Later customers included publishers and IT companies. ISPs were there from the start too, with many using the fibre infrastructure as a way of providing genuine broadband to city customers at a low cost. I should note here that Citylink does not consider domestic 1Mb and 2Mb connections to be broadband; it prefers to start at 10Mb. Citylink can provide 10Mb, 100Mb or 1,000Mb connections anywhere on the fibre infrastructure.
Nearly ten years after the initial cable was positioned, around 50 kilometres (30 miles) of cable now exists within the central business district of Wellington. More than 300 buildings are connected.
The Citylink fibre network originally was interconnected with a bunch of oddball switches and hubs from various vendors. Over time, these have been phased out and replaced with Cisco switches, mainly 35xx and 29xx, on a gigabit core.
Citylink now offers two major services, dark fibre and Ethernet. Dark fibre services allow point-to-point connectivity between buildings. Each customer has sole use of his or her own strand of fibre and can connect whatever gear is required on either end. Dark fibre runs up to 1Gb/s at present. The Ethernet services are the most widely used and allow customers to connect to a city-wide "shared Ethernet".
INL, a newspaper publisher, was the first Citylink customer. The company used dark fibre to link its corporate office to its Wellington office, and it used Ethernet to link back to the Wellington City Council offices. From there, a microwave link to Victoria University of Wellington provided access to the public Internet. At that point, Citylink was involved in providing only basic layer 2, Ethernet infrastructure.
The Internet exchange runs on top of the fibre Ethernet infrastructure. Before we look at this in detail, let's briefly run through a few routing basics. A router on a network receives packets of data, each with its own destination address. The router checks its internal list of addresses—the routing table—to see if there is a route or path to that destination. If there is, the packet is sent to the specified address. This might be the final destination, or it could be a gateway—another router that repeats the process and sends the packet on once again.
A traditional Internet exchange has participants connecting to a single location, and each participant has a router. One side of the router is connected to all of the other routers by way of a common Ethernet backbone. The other side is connected to the participant's own network infrastructure (Figure 1).
Each participant has a list of IP addresses that represent the networks it can access. Each router has its own IP address on the common backbone. These addresses often are private to the outside world and act as gateways to each participant's network.
As a point of interest, the first Citylink routers in general use were based on standard PC components with LS/120 floppy or disk-on-chip boot mechanisms running the Linux Router Project (LRP). These were deployed only for customers using wireless access points.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

text: Frogs and salamanders are disappearing. Two hundred species of amphibians have gone extinct in the past 30 years; one-third of the world's amphibian species are threatened with extinction. In the midst of this extinction crisis, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is refusing to protect 12 American amphibian species that are known to qualify for protection under the Endangered Species Act. These amphibian species -- five frogs, one toad, and six salamanders -- are languishing on the "candidate" list without any protection, just waiting for Fish and Wildlife to finalize their listing. 42 species have already gone extinct during delays in the listing process. The Center petitioned for full protection for all candidates in 2004, and followed up with a lawsuit in 2005 that remains unresolved. More than 200 species of amphibians have gone extinct in the past 30 years, and we need you to speak up for those that still remain. Please email Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and ask him to immediately extend full Endangered Species Act protection to all 252 candidate species, including the Columbia spotted frog, mountain yellow-legged frog, Oregon spotted frog, relict leopard frog, Yosemite toad, Arizona treefrog, Austin blind salamander, Black Warrior waterdog, Georgetown salamander, Jollyville plateau salamander, Ozark hellbender, and Salado salamander.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The dun gene is a dilution gene that affects both red and black pigments in the coat color of a horse. The dun gene has the ability to affect the appearance of all black, bay, or chestnut-based horses to some degree by lightening the base body coat and suppressing the underlying base color to the mane, tail, legs, and "primitive markings".
The classic dun is a gray-gold or tan, characterized by a body color ranging from sandy yellow to reddish-brown. A dun horse always has a dark stripe down the middle of its back, a tail and mane darker than the body coat, and usually darker face and legs. Other duns may appear a light yellowish shade, or a steel gray, depending on the underlying coat color genetics. Manes, tails, primitive markings, and other dark areas are usually the shade of the undiluted base coat color.
The dun allele is a simple dominant, so the phenotype of a horse with either one copy or two copies of the gene is dun. It has a stronger effect than other dilution genes, such as the silver dapple gene, which acts only on black-based coats, or the cream gene, an incomplete dominant which must be homozygous to be fully expressed, and when heterozygous is only visible on bay and chestnut coats, and then to a lesser degree.[1]
The dun gene also is characterized by primitive markings, which are darker than the body color. Primitive markings include:
Dorsal striping does not guarantee the horse carries the dun gene. A countershading gene can also produce faint dorsal striping, even in breeds such as the Arabian horse or the Thoroughbred, where the dun gene is not known to be carried in the gene pool. A primary characteristic of the dun gene is the dorsal stripe, and most duns also have visual leg striping. The shoulder stripes are less common and often fainter, but usually visible on horses with a short summer coat.[1]
Contents |
The dun coat color is thought to be a primitive trait in the horse. This is because equines appearing in prehistoric cave paintings are dun, and because several closely related species in the genus Equus are known to have been dun. These species include both subspecies of Equus ferus (the extinct tarpan and the extant, but endangered Przewalski's horse), the extinct Equus lambei, and the extant onager and kiang.
The dun gene has a stronger dilution effect on the body than the mane, tail, legs, and primitive markings, so lightens the body coat more. This explains why points on a dun are a shade darker than the coat, or in the case of a "classic" dun, the mane, tail, and legs often are black or only slightly diluted.
Since the dun gene, when on a "bay dun" horse, can closely resemble buckskin, in that both colors feature a light-colored coat with a dark mane and tail, classic duns frequently are confused with buckskins. The difference between these two colors is the dun as a tan color, somewhat duller than the more cream or gold buckskin, and duns also possess primitive markings. Some buckskins do show countershading, but it is not related to the primitive markings of dun factor horses.
Genetically, a bay dun is a bay horse with the dun gene that causes the lighter coat color and the primitive markings. A buckskin is bay horse with the addition of the cream gene, causing the coat color to be diluted from red to gold, often without primitive markings.
A red dun may also be confused with a perlino , which is genetically a bay horse with two copies of the cream gene, which creates a horse with a cream-colored body but a reddish mane and tail. However, perlinos usually are significantly lighter than a red dun and generally have blue eyes.
To further confuse matters, it is possible for a horse to carry both dun and cream dilution genes; such horses with golden buckskin coloring and a complete set of primitive markings are referred to as a "buckskin dun" or a "dunskin". In the Fjord horse, duns that also carry the creme dilution are called uls dun or white dun (ulsblakk) and yellow dun (gulblakk) by their respective coat colors. On such horses, the light-shaded primitive markings are most noticeable during the summer months when the winter hair sheds.
Countershading is a usually a darker shade of the body color rather than the near-black of primitive markings on bay duns, but it may be harder to differentiate between countershading and a dorsal stripe on light-colored horses such as red duns. In such cases, pedigree analysis, DNA testing, studying possible offspring, and the presence of other primitive markings are used to determine whether a horse is a dun.
The three primary dun varieties usually occur in proportion to the occurrence of the corresponding base colors in each particular breed. They are created by the following combinations of the dun gene acting upon an underlying base coat color.
Other variations result from the interplay of additional genes:
A single copy of the cream gene on a black base coat does not significantly lighten black hair, though it may have a subtle effect,[2] and thus a single copy generally has no visible effect on a grullo, either. Conversely, double copies of the cream gene create very light-colored horses (cremello, perlino, and smoky cream). Thus, if a horse with two cream dilution alleles also carries the dun gene, it also will be cream-colored, with primitive markings not visible to any significant degree.
The Fjord horse breed, which is predominantly dun, uses unique Norwegian-based terminology to distinguish between the different shades of dun horses. "Brown dun," or brunnblakk is a zebra dun, rødblakk is a red dun, grå - literally "gray" - is a grullo, buckskin duns are called ulsblakk or white dun, and a dunalino is called a "yellow dun" or gulblakk. A cremello, perlino or smoky cream is called "white" or kvit.[3]

5 Star is known to be the second largest selling brand of chocolates after Cadbury Dairy Milk in India. The reason for the popularity is obviously the amazing taste and quality. For years 5 Star has successfully managed to wow its patrons by keeping up to the rich chocolaty expectations that everyone has from it. It hasn't changed over the years and is still the same today.
The new TVC features two old friends meeting at a stall after many years. They meet there by accident. They do not realise that they are there at the same time. Both request for a Cadbury 5 Star. The shopkeeper hands them over two bars and before they are about to bite into their respective bars they realise that the person standing in front of them is a long lost friend.
They look at each and instantly say – Arrey Rameshhhhhhhh — and the other one says – Arrey Sureshhhhhhhhhh. They then take a bite of their favourite bar and in simple words get lost in the amazing taste of the chocolate. Once the bite is over, they come back to life and relive the moment of recognizing each other. The situation repeats until the bar of chocolate has been completely devoured. The stall keeper is obviously baffled.
The brand for a few years now has gone on to suggest that 5 Star is so rich that you will get absolutely lost and fall into a trance when you bite into it. The stance has worked for the brand, so the marketers have continued the same thought, except a new rendition. And a really good one at that.
The characters used for the ad are outstanding, they come across as crazy people somewhere out of a seventies film.

First of all thanks for all the replies. It looks like there is no other way than really getting down with all the single files spread over the final build. Still your answers will help a lot in doing that. How do I get a list of all access-times of all the files sorted in reverse order by date? That would really really help a lot, right!

Many visitors are drawn to the bright lights, fancy restaurants and busy beaches of Waikiki or to the West Maui mega resorts near Lahaina and Ka'anapali Beach. Others find their way to resorts on Kauai or the Big Island, Hawaii.
All of these destinations offer paradise; warm sandy beaches, the blue Pacific Ocean and nearly perfect weather, all hermetically packaged for the visitor from the US Mainland or Japan.
Very few of these visitors ever hear of the little island anchored between Oahu, where bustling Honolulu is, and Maui the busiest tourist island in Hawaii.
On occasion someone planning a vacation to Hawaii will ask a travel agent or a friend about Molokai and will receive the typical response, "Why would you want to go to Molokai, there's nothing there."
From the typical traveler's perception, that is true, there's nothing here. There are no mega resorts. No five-star dining opportunities. No tourist-packed beaches. No shopping malls. Basically none of the things that make other Hawaii destinations soooo commercial.
What Molokai does have are precious resources that are shared with the few lucky visitors and protected by residents who refuse to allow this beautiful island to go the way of the other tourist-driven islands.
Molokai is a place where aloha is a lifestyle, not something put on for the tourists. You see it every day on smiling faces on the streets of Kaunakakai, the island's largest town and in the smaller villages around the island. You hear it and feel it, provided your heart and mind are not clouded by the harshness and hurry of life in your hometown. If you come to Molokai to become part of what is here, you will be overwhelmed by the aloha and spirituality. If you bring your demands and lifestyle attitudes, you will be disappointed and will probably not find the island to your liking.
Molokai is not for everyone
Molokai is not for the average Hawaii visitor. It is very quiet, very rural and very Hawaiian. Only about 8,000 folks reside here and on any given day there will be only 1,000 or so visitors on the island.
There is so little traffic on Molokai that there is not even a single traffic light. An occasional row of 3 or 4 cars constitute a traffic jam and that doesn't seem to upset anyone, there's no rush to be someplace else.
Visitors stay at one of the five condominium projects, in a beach cottage or at the island's one hotel, all of which offer accommodations at very reasonable-for-Hawaii prices.
The restaurant choices are mainly located in Kaunakakai and while there are no 4 or 5-star dining opportunities, you will be able to find good food and ambiance from picnic tables to beachfront dining.
Folks who choose condominium or beach house accommodations can acquire groceries at either of the grocery stores in Kaunakakai or one of the markets in Kualapuu or Maunaloa. Even the largest of these stores will seem petite by mainland standards.
Because everything is brought into Molokai on a barge from Oahu, the prices will seem a little high, especially for packaged or frozen goods. Choices in all things are limited, so you may not find "your" brand of a product or "your favorite" produce item. Time to simplify.
Remember, you can find everything you "need" on Molokai. However some of your "wants" may go unmet.
So... Why would anyone visit Molokai?
To find the real Hawaii, the Hawaii of 50 years ago.
If you need to be entertained while vacationing on Molokai, there are a few choices.
Golfers can play nine or 18 at the delightful Ironwood Hills municipal course in Kalae.
There are many empty or almost-vacant beaches, many of which are safe for snorkeling or swimming. Some of which are only safe for shelling or strolling.
There are a couple of sport fishing boats to take you out to the blue to catch dinner.
You can go snorkeling or scuba diving at the reef's edge on a dive boat.
Ocean kayak trips on top of the south shore's fringing reef can be arranged.
Ride the mules or hike down to the Kalaupapa settlement for the tour of Father Damien's ministry.
If you can entertain yourself, you will find abundant opportunities.
Watch a hula halau (school) practice.
Watch for Humpback Whales when they visit between December and April.
Visit the Saturday morning market to shop for fresh island produce.
Go for a swim at the Cooke Memorial Pool.
Take a trip to Kalae for a visit to the Phallic Rock and a view of Kalaupapa from the look out.
Picnic in cool Pala'au State Park.
Watch the paddlers practice their outrigger canoe strokes at the wharf or go to a Saturday canoe race in the summer.

Transitioning to a Microsoft account
Bing Ads is changing how you sign in. If you are an existing customer, you'll need to transition to a Microsoft account, but you've got some time. If you are a new customer, you'll need to sign up using a Microsoft account. For existing customers, this will take a little time to set up, but the tradeoff is a more secure sign in and the ability to stay signed in to all of your Microsoft services and devices.
Here are some frequently asked questions about this change. If you don't see an answer to your question, leave us a comment below.
"Microsoft account" is the new name for what used to be called "Windows Live ID." Your Microsoft account is the combination of an email address and a password that you use to sign in to services or devices, such as Hotmail, Messenger, OneDrive, Windows Phone, Xbox LIVE, or Outlook.com. If you use an email address and password to sign in to these or other services, you already have a Microsoft account. Or if you prefer, you can create a new Microsoft account—just for Bing Ads—using any of your email addresses (e.g., Gmail or Yahoo).
Using a Microsoft account to sign in offers two advantages:
- Security.Microsoft account has a two-step verification process that helps ensure the safety and integrity of your Bing Ads account. Two-step verification requires that you provide a security code, in addition to your email address and password, when accessing your account from any device that hasn't been previously authorized as a trusted device.
- Simplified sign in. Using one account to sign in to all your Microsoft services and devices means you can get and stay connected more easily.
If you've already linked an account, you are one step ahead. We'll simply verify that you want to continue using this Microsoft account to sign in to Bing Ads, and you're done.
A best practice for companies or agencies that have multiple employees using a Bing Ads account is to have each person sign in with a separate Microsoft account. Having separate user accounts is more secure and also has the benefit of letting you use change history to review changes made per user.
We suggest that an employee who has Super Admin permissions transition to a new Microsoft account first, and then the Super Admin can invite users. To invite users, the Super Admin needs the Microsoft account emails of the employees who want to sign in to Bing Ads. Employees can use one of their existing Microsoft accounts, or they can create a new Microsoft account. For more information on inviting users, see How do I give someone access to my Bing Ads account?. Invited users will receive emails explaining the Bing Ads sign in process.
Until signing in with a Microsoft account is mandatory, you can continue to sign in with your Bing Ads user name and password; however, once you make the change to a Microsoft account, you can no longer use your Bing Ads user name and password to sign in.
The Microsoft account that you use to sign in to Bing Ads is the same one that you'll use with Bing Ads Editor and Bing Ads Intelligence.
If you sign in to pubCenter with your Microsoft account, you can't sign in to Bing Ads with that same Microsoft account at this time. You need to sign in to Bing Ads with a different Microsoft account.
For API users, the current version of Bing Ads API (Version 9) supports signing in with either Bing Ads user name or your Microsoft account email address. For more information, read How the transition to Microsoft account impacts the Bing Ads API.
If you have more than one Bing Ads user name, you will need to use a different Microsoft account for each one.
Yes. The create user option has been removed. If you want to add more users to your account, you should invite a user. For more information, see How do I give someone access to my Bing Ads account?.
If you are using a Microsoft account, you should sign in on this page:
If you end up on this page, then you should click the Sign in with Microsoft account link:
If you want to change the Microsoft account that you use to sign in to Bing Ads, you should contact support. Alternatively, you can go through the process of inviting a new user-using the Microsoft email and password that you want to use moving forward-and then remove the user who has the Microsoft account you no longer want associated with your Bing Ads account. For information on how to do this, see How do I give someone access to my Bing Ads account?.
When you first sign in after transitioning to a Microsoft account, you might see your old user name in the upper-right corner of the website. After a short period, or the next time you sign in, you'll see your Microsoft account email address instead.

Phone: 1300 363 400
Email: email@example.com
CSIRO, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, is Australia's national science agency and one of the largest and most diverse research agencies in the world.
Large-scale, long-term, multidisciplinary science to address Australia's major national challenges and opportunities.
CSIRO manages national facilities and collections that are opened to researchers around Australia and overseas.
The winner of the 2009 Prime Minister's Prize for Science, CSIRO's Dr John O'Sullivan.
Reference: 09/200
Two CSIRO scientists have been honoured at Australia's premier science awards – the Prime Minister's Prizes for Science.
For his achievements in astronomy and wireless technologies, CSIRO's Dr John O'Sullivan was recognised with the nation's pre-eminent science award – the Prime Minister's Prize for Science.
The winner of the 2009 Prime Minister's Prize for Science, CSIRO's Dr Amanda Barnard.
Dr Amanda Barnard was awarded the 2009 Malcolm McIntosh Prize for Physical Scientist of the Year for major contributions to the field of nanoscience.
In welcoming the awards CSIRO's Chief Executive, Dr Megan Clark, said Dr O'Sullivan led a multidisciplinary CSIRO team which developed and patented the technology at the heart of most modern high-speed wireless communications systems.
"Dr O'Sullivan has made many extraordinary contributions to Australian and international science across the fields of radioastronomy and wireless technology," Dr Clark said. "He was instrumental in the design of the Australia Telescope and pioneered the approach that led a CSIRO team to solving the multipath problem that was crucial to the development of fast wireless networks.
"This technology is now in close to one billion wireless devices around the world.
"Dr O'Sullivan's leadership and scientific brilliance continue to contribute to the nation through his development of an innovative radio camera for the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) radio telescope. John's work has significant relevance to the future international project to build the $3bn Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope."
Dr Clark said Dr Barnard's research focuses on how nanoparticles interact with the environment and how environmental changes may affect their stability. The work involves predicting the structure, shape and stability of man-made nanoparticles (particles which are millionths of a metre in size) to understand how they interact with different environments such as natural ecosystems.
"Her unique approach has been used all over the world to predict how these tiny pieces of matter respond to changes around them, and how we can use these changes to make designer materials for specific applications," Dr Clark said.
"I congratulate all the winners and take this opportunity to especially thank Dr O'Sullivan and Dr Barnard for their enormous contributions to CSIRO and Australia."

Therefore, it is essential for us as students of the Bible to interpret a passage in light of what the rest of the Scriptures say on the topic. There are Scriptures that are somewhat confusing. Peter himself tells us that (2 Ptr. 3:16)! When that is the case, rather than seeking to make an interpretation based on one verse, it is essential to examine other, perhaps more clear, passages of Scripture.

Her energetic 15 year old son made a similar decision and joined a Buddhist monastery as a novice student. Both were walking along "the path of enlightenment" as they studied the teachings of Buddha. Lin Lin was especially proud of their pursuit to achieve Nirvana; the state of mind where true inner peace is achieved by freeing oneself from all worldly obsessions and fixations. One morning as Lin Lin was sitting at the local tea shop receiving alms she came across a native missionary named Saya James who placed a donation in her alms bowl and said, "I am a Christian pastor and may I ask you a question?"

The bioenergy industry is growing in importance as key members of Congress and the White House administration grasp the need to wean the nation from foreign oil dependence. As a result a new generation of biofuel industry executives are gaining prominence in the field. Among the industry's key players are Sean O'Hanlon, Executive Director, American Biofuels Council, who has been an important figure in advancing the grass-roots support for biofuels among the American public.
Bliss Baker, of the Global Renewable Fuels Alliance, has been integral in addressing the growing concerns about the impact of renewable fuels on food supplies and commodity costs, debunking many of the myths surrounding the food versus fuel debate in the process. Baker has successfully shown that the rising price of crude oil plays a far greater role in food price inflation than the use of grains as ethanol feedstock, an argument that will become more critical as biofuel production continues to expand.
Often missed among key figures in the biofuel industry, university researchers continue to play a key role in the advancement of the industry. David Tilman, PhD, is a professor at the University of Minnesota and an important researcher in the growing field of cellulosic ethanol production. His research is helping to advance the science of the field, making eventual large-scale production of cellulosic ethanol a near-term reality.

Read Ryan Seacrest's Foreword for Demi Lovato's New iBook
Fans of Demi Lovato are in for a big surprise!
The "Heart Attack" singer will be releasing her Demi iBook on June 11, but the pre-order is officially available on the iBookstore here.
And for the special collection — which also features exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of Demi in the recording studio and more than 50 personal photographs — the superstar asked none other than Ryan Seacrest to pen the foreword (hear him read it on On Air with Ryan Seacrest below).
"I've had the good fortune of meeting hundreds of artists over the years," the passage begins. "But Demi Lovato is a standout without question. Of course, her musical talents are undeniable. But I believe she shines so bright because of who she is, what she's been through and what she stands for."

Ryan then recalls all the incredible peaks in Demi's young career, beginning with her as a child on Barney & Friends and then as a Disney star on Sonny With a Chance.
"Her ascension was swift, but with her success came some bumps in the road, and she nearly fell dangerously off course," he writes. "But it was during this time that I came to most admire Demi – for her strength, courage and grace under pressure.

Ice storm damage may still lurk underground
Watch Joel in the Garden on KMTR NewsSource16 at 6 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Thursdays
EUGENE, Ore. - With plenty of rain so far this month, you may not think of watering your lawn or garden.
But it's important to test your underground sprinkler system after the winter.
Cleanup from this month's ice storm continues around Eugene and Springfield.
But there are other winter damages that may still be undiscovered.
"In about a month, when we start to warm up a little bit, we're definitely going to find a lot of breaks, broken backflows, things of that nature," said Dean Wahrenbrock, an irrigation tech for Graham Landscape.
If your underground sprinkler system wasn't properly winterized, it may have suffered a break following a few nights of subzero temps.
If it has, you could face an issue with your ground water.
"A backflow helps to protect the public and homeowners and their families from nonpotable water contaminating potable water," Wahrenbrock said.
Eugene Water and Electric Board (http://www.eweb.org/water) requires Eugene residents with underground sprinkler systems to have backflow preventers and keep them in working order.
"You'd notice a break right off the bat because you'd have water shooting out everywhere," Wahrenbrock said.
A break in your sprinkler line could either be a quick fix or a hefty bill, depending on the size of the break. But both Burt and Wahrenbrock agree, getting a contractor to come to your house will be easier now compared to April.
"Once things warm up, contractors get to be really busy," said Michael Burt, who works for John Deere Landscapes in Eugene.
Even if there is no break, Burt said it's possible your sprinkler system may need some adjusting after a few cold months.
"The ground is always moving here in Eugene," Wahrenbrock said. "So it's not uncommon for either the sprinklers to settle or the grass to grow up too tall."
"Just go through it to make sure all the sprinklers are still in a good shape, they're pointed the way they're supposed to be pointed," Burt said.
One job around the yard that you can tackle now before your grass and flowers need a bit more watering.
Most cities in Oregon require that homeowners with underground sprinkler systems have their backflow preventers tested once a year.

Yes. I got up, brushed my teeth, started some coffee, and sat down at my computer that morning. My home screen has been CNN for a long time. Up came the CNN main screen with the headline in huge type which said America Under Attack. I snickered!
You see, around that time there had been a lot of website hijackings, so I assumed it had happened to CNN. A few seconds later, I realized it wasn't a joke and turned on the TV to find the combined attacks being covered on every channel.
That's my 9/11 story. I'm sure some of you have more interesting ones, be they happy or sad or tragic. How did you hear about it? How did it affect you? How is it continuing to affect you?
Tags: 9/11
@Alyson - we've lost more Americans in Little George W's faux-war in Iraq, than we did in the Twin Towers. In that sense, bin Laden won - he got us to unnecessarily throw our young in front of bullets and to withdraw some of our citizens' liberties.
Thinking about whether or not Bin Laden 'won' would require knowing what the hell Bin Laden was trying to accomplish. Do you really think his goal was to tie the U.S. up in a Middle East occupation? Do you really think he 'hated freedom'? He's dead. He died hiding in a compound in Pakistan. That's his outcome. The rest has more to do with our ambitions than it did with his.
Okey-dokey --
I think he succeeded in doing something that gave encouragement to the elements who hate America in the sense that he showed them that relatively few people could do unimaginable damage. He succeeded in stirring things up in the Middle East, which is always in the interest of the Islamic fundamentalists. He may have got a bonus from some of the subsequent actions of the Bush Administration, but since we can't roll back time and give Bush a "do over," that's just speculation.
RE: "since we can't roll back time and give Bush a 'do over,'" - if we could, I would hope that somebody would do something to make sure those damned chads didn't hang the next time!
Most of the radical Islamicists want theocracies established - so in that regard I would argue twitter has done more for the cause than Bin Laden.
As for rallying people to attack U.S. interests, one might say his 1998 fatwa succeeded - but other than U.S. interests in occupied countries, I'm not sure the U.S. is facing any more hostility than before 9/11.
I was in high school at the time. In art class, which was right across from the main office, and through the open door I saw the TV showing the towers burning, and I went to see what movie was the trailer for... and then I realized it was on CNN and it was actually happening.
First, Judith, let me make it clear that not all Americans felt the way your doctor did. And none would have supported the invasion of Iraq, had we known the WMD fiasco was a lie. Your own country is probably even more steeped in stories of Nazi Germany than mine, so it should be obvious to what extent politicians can whip up public opinion when it serves their purpose.
As for Afghanistan, the Taliban had control of the country, and our intelligence indicated that they had the power to turn bin Ladin over for punishment, had they chosen to do so. we made the consequences of failing to do so clear to all who would listen. They chose to harbor him. Do you not feel that any of the blame falls on them?
Many, many innocent Afghan civilians died needlessly, but did the Taliban meet us with tanks and planes? They fired from schoolhouses and mosques, so that any returned fire would be sure to harm innocents or damage "sacred" shrines - where was their concern?
I personally have no bloodlust, but having already tried once earlier to attack the twin towers, it should be obvious to any that the man had to be prevented from doing any more harm. I would personally rather have seen him imprisoned for the remainder of his life. The survivors and the friends and loved ones of those who were crushed beneath tons of steel and concrete, will continue to suffer for the rest of their lives, while bin Ladin feels nothing.
RE: "First of all did i say ALL american felt the way of that particular one i described as an arse ?" - no, you did not, nor did I say you did. I was simply making a statement of fact.
RE: "Second, what has nazi Germany got to do with this discussion...." - if you have no awareness of how Hitler's rhetoric stirred up the German people to fall behind his cause, then you likely have not watched many of the old news reels of the era. My point was that political leaders can have that effect, and that Americans are not immune to it.
I see no reason as to why bin Laden should have been accorded the special privilege of being tried according to Islamic law, when the crimes he committed weren't against Muslims. I suspect the US wanted bin Laden, but declined to capitulate to conditions. The Taliban couldn't have been too concerned about the consequences, or they would have handed him over unconditionally.
Gitmo was, and is, a travesty of justice and of all of the principles America is supposed to stand for - you will get no argument from me there. That Gitmo was a Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld innovation, I can understand - it shames me to see that Obama has allowed it to continue.
Judith, are there no wackos among your countrymen? No people who overreact? I am sure there are.
As for the followup question you proposed, I think most English speakers would find it hard to interpret, unless by "stated" you meant "sated" (satisfied). I'll assume the latter. My own answer will be unsatisfactory, I'm sure. My answer would be "Quite possibly, unless some terrorist commits another act of terror in the name of 9/11." Since that appears to have just happened with the murder of our ambassador to Libya and several of his coworkers, we'll see.

The legislation would provide $325 million for the USDA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI), the same as the House level, and $1.1 billion for the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and the FDA would be funded at $2.6 billion, or $36 million above FY 2014 levels.
- The Senate Appropriations Committee has combined three existing FY 2015 appropriations bills; the Commerce, Justice, Science (CJS); Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration and Related Agencies; and the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development into one bill known as a 'minibus' to be considered by the full Senate as one piece of legislation, instead of three.
- On June 17, the Senate Appropriations subcommittee on Energy and Water Development approved their FY 2015 Energy and Water Development appropriations bill, funding the Department of Energy (DOE) with $28 billion, or $64 million below the President's request and $5.08 billion for the Office of Science. On June 18, the House appropriations committee approved its FY 2015 Energy and Water bill funding the DOE Office of Science at $5.07 billion.

January 17, 2014 - ASM Statement on the FY 2014 Omnibus Appropriations Bill
The ASM released a statement about the passage of the "Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014."
January 14, 2014 - Omnibus Appropriations Bill Increases Research Funding
House and Senate appropriations committees released an FY 2014 omnibus appropriations bill on January 13 that would fund the federal government through September and restores some of the funding lost to the across-the-board cuts from sequestration. The bill includes all 12 FY 2014 spending bills. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) would receive a $1 billion (3.5 percent) increase over the FY 2013 post-sequestration budget and is funded at $29.926 billion. The funding level for NIH is $714 million less than the FY 2013 enacted level of $30.6 billion before sequestration. The National Science Foundation (NSF) is funded at $7.2 billion, which restores funding lost to sequestration, but this level is about $400 million below the President's 2014 budget request of $7.6 billion. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) would receive $6.9 billion, $567 million over the FY 2013 program level, and a line item of $30 million is included for the Advanced Molecular Detection Initiative. The USDA Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) is funded at the requested level of $316 million. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would receive $2.6 billion, $91 million over the FY 2013 enacted level, or $4.4 billion including user fees, $85 million of which are restored due to the sequester. The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science level of funding is $5.1 billion, $195 million ( 4 percent) over the FY 2013 enacted level. The expectation is that the omnibus bill will get enough bipartisan support to pass although a short term continuation of government funding through January 18 is being considered to provide additional time for final passage of the omnibus bill. The omnibus bill reasserts the regular order of the appropriations process and provides restoration of some of the funding lost to sequestration, but it does not completely reverse the effects of sequestration.
December 19, 2013 - Budget Deal Finalized by Congress
The House and Senate have passed a budget compromise measure (HJ Res 59), which allocates to appropriations committees an increase in fiscal year 2014 spending levels and rolls back budgetary sequestration requirements that were due to impact research programs. Congressman Ryan and Senator Murray, chairs of a bipartisan and bicameral "Budget Conference Committee," established by passage of the "Continuing Appropriations Resolution of 2014," negotiated the "Bipartisan Budget Agreement Act of 2013 (BBA)." The agreement reconciles spending cap differences between the House and the Senate for FY 2014. The Ryan-Murray deal finalized discretionary spending for the current fiscal year (FY) 2014 at $1.012 trillion, roughly halfway between the House budget level of $967 billion and the Senate budget level of $1.058 trillion. The BBA also provides partial relief from sequestration in FY 2015. The agreement allows appropriators to draft spending bills for the remainder of FY 2014 and provides $63 billion in relief from sequester cuts over the next two years for both defense and non-defense discretionary programs. The Bipartisan Budget Agreement is a step forward in mitigating some of the harm from the random cuts of sequestration. The ASM has been urging Congress to end sequestration and will continue to advocate for robust investment in basic research as the appropriations process proceeds for FY 2014 and FY 2015. The Bipartisan Budget Act is designed to restore order to the federal budget and appropriations process and to allow some reinvestment in domestic priorities, such as research. The BBA restores almost two-thirds of the scheduled non-defense discretionary cuts in 2014. House and Senate appropriations committees are beginning the process to write FY 2014 spending bills before the expiration of the current Continuing Resolution on January 15, 2014. Information and updates on appropriations bills will be available at: http://www.asm.org/ResearchFunding.
October 29, 2013 - ASM Sends Funding Recommendations to the Budget Conference Committee
The ASM sent funding recommendations to the Budget Conference Committee. The Budget Conference Committee has a December 13, 2013, deadline to negotiate the differences in spending levels for FY 2014 between the House and the Senate and to issue a report.
October 17, 2013 - Continuing Resolution/Budget Conference Committee Update
On October 17, HR. 2775 the "Continuing Appropriations Resolution of 2014" was signed into law by the President, extending the debt ceiling through February 7, 2014 and temporarily restoring funding for government agencies. This page includes an analysis of the bill.
September 19, 2013 - Research Funding Update
As the start of Fiscal Year 2014 approaches, Congress remains undecided over federal funding and strategy to extend current year spending authority through a FY 2014 Continuing Resolution (CR), a stopgap bill to fund the government from October 1 through December 15. The CR is intended to provide a timeframe for Congress to come to agreement on full year 2014 appropriations for federal agencies. The recently introduced House CR would fund federal programs at their current post-sequester FY 2013 level of funding. The ASM continues to work with Congress, along with coalitions of science and public health advocates, to ensure that research and public health programs are funded at the highest level possible and that deficit control measures do not result in additional cuts to these essential programs.
On July 18, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved by voice vote, the subcommittee's FY 2014 appropriations bill for Commerce, Justice, Science (CJS). The legislation funds the National Science Foundation (NSF) at $7.4 billion, a $430 million increase over the House Appropriations Committees FY 2014 level. The bill will next be sent to the full Senate for approval.
On July 17, the House Appropriations Committee approved the FY 2014 Commerce, Justice, Science (CJS) spending bill for fiscal year (FY) 2014. The House legislation would fund the National Science Foundation (NSF) at $7 billion, $259 million below the enacted FY 2013 level, but $111 million more than the FY 2013 final funding level, after sequestration.
On July 10, the House approved its spending bill for the Department of Energy (DOE). The office of Science would receive $4.7 billion, approximately $300 million below the President's request for FY 2014, and Basic Energy Sciences (BES) would receive $1.6 billion. The Senate Appropriations Committee, however, recommended $5.2 billion for the Office of Science, the same as the President's FY 2014 request.
On July 9, the Senate Appropriations Committee, Subcommittee on Labor Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies released its FY 2014 appropriation recommendations and included funding levels for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Highlights are:
NIH: the subcommittee recommended $30,945,776 billion for the NIH, an increase of nearly $307 million over the FY 2013 enacted level, before sequestration, and $147 million below the Administration's request.
CDC: the subcommittee recommended $7,022,769 billion, an increase of $478 million from FY 2013 enacted level and more than $378 million over the Administration's request.
In late June, the Senate Appropriations Committee, Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration and Related Agencies approved their FY 2014 spending bill for the Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) among others. The legislation would fund the FDA with a total of $2.6 billion, $96 million over FY 2013 and the Agriculture Research Service (ARS) at the USDA would receive $1.1 billion, $51 million over FY 2013. The House Committee approved $2.5 billion in FY 2014 for the FDA, and recommended $291 million for the USDA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI), $92 million below the President's request.
