You're sitting in your coworker Lana's apartment with her, your girlfriend and Lana's girlfriend, watching Demonic Toys. You all just got out of work at Burger Hub and are drinking to forget the night's events – you accidentally hooked up the soda machine's CO2 line to a propane tank, making several customers spontaneously combust.
"This movie should be called 'Moronic Toys,'" Lana says, dropping Empathy tablets in her drink like they're ice cubes (Empathy is a designer drug that gives the brief sensation of caring about others, followed by disgust). You laugh at her contextual humor, the context being that she's beautiful, with brown hair, smooth skin and an overweight body that you often fantasize about sitting on you, crushing you like a thumb crushing an insect. She has an arm around her girlfriend, who she met at Burger Hub when she, Lana's girlfriend, had a heart attack and Lana saw the lesbian-symbol tattoo on her chest while defibrillating her.
Sitting next to you, opposite Lana, is your girlfriend, who's naked and covered in blood because she's an adult abortion (an offshoot of the adult baby subculture). Her umbilical cord stretches out the door, down the hall and into the parking lot, beyond which it could go pretty much anywhere.
"The scene where the homeless girl climbs out of the air duct to tell the other protagonists the toys are demonic reminds me of our dates," she says, referring to how she climbs out the first drive-thru window at Burger Hub into your car, has sex with you in the drive-thru line, then climbs back into the store through the second window. You've always thought of these "dates" as a dig at your sexual prowess (the average wait time between windows is 60 seconds), but she maintains that the climbing-out-one-aperture-into-another routine is a way of coming to terms with her traumatic first birth – she was born to a lesbian couple while they were having sex and ended up trapped in her other parent's womb for a month. Still, she knows the reference upsets you and probably made it as revenge for forgetting one of her birthdays.
"How did you become a lesbian?" you ask Lana, knowing your girlfriend hates references to lesbianism.
"Every time a person is conceived a male and a female soul play cards in a dollhouse on the astral plane to determine the person's sex," Lana says. "If the game is a draw, the person gets both souls and becomes a homosexual. That's why Christians hate us: not because we have no souls but because we have too many. For every one of us there's someone born without a soul who becomes a serial killer or communications major."
Lana offers you some Empathy, but you've sworn off the drug since the time you took it by yourself and started caring about air molecules and stopped breathing. As she takes the remaining pills you fantasize about being a pill and exploring her body. You float down her digestive tract, a long, dingy passage smelling of stale food (like her apartment hallway, except vertical), past stomach microbes who are still contemplative from the mushrooms Lana took yesterday and are pondering the world outside this intestinal cave. They agree that whatever's out there involves an evil doll and scary jack-in-the-box music.
On the screen, the demonic jack-in-the-box opens and everyone jumps. You once told your girlfriend that fear is the opposite of sex because it climaxes instantly, to which she replied that in your case there isn't much difference.
The poor quality of the tape makes it look less like a movie and more like a director's half-formed idea for one. After a few drinks the room looks the same way, making you forget which side of the screen you're on. You become the demonic toy warehouse's ex-army security guard, sitting in your office and crying, not because you're scared of the demonic toys but because of the sheer variety of demonic toys in the civilian world. In Korea, you were lucky to get a demonic hanji doll made of bark and toilet paper.
Back in Lana's apartment you stumble into the bathroom, wishing you'd get murdered by demonic toys, the way we all wish our lives were more like movies. The bathroom window is across the street from Burger Hub, whose inflatable statue of Princess Puff (the restaurant's mascot, named after its trademark Eel Puffs) stares into the building like it's a dollhouse.

Such a failure in terms of a lack of claims-sharing also means that health insurance lags behind other classes of commercial insurance business. Colleagues from other markets often shake their heads and whistle softly when they see what passes for normal practice in our discipline. Not important, you might think, so long as health insurance is efficient and works to the best advantage of its customers. But clearly it does not.
Insurers are unable to deploy their full range of skills and experience to price a typical risk. Claims are an underwriting factor that is naturally taken into account at renewal, so an insurer quoting on a piece of new business should be in possession of the same information. If not, the scheme could be over or under-priced. Either way, this is unfair as a policyholder could either be paying too much from inception or expect an uncomfortable hike in premiums at renewal. Thus the lack of claims sharing has the potential to destabilise market pricing.
Furthermore, such inefficiency is exacerbated by the health insurance sector's lack of ecommerce activity. Attempts to introduce a market-wide ecommerce platform are stymied by the reluctance of certain insurers to provide the raw material it requires to operate – claims information. The imarket/Polaris initiative and the Healthcode quotation portal have each come across the same problem.
If we had a viable and widely-used ecommerce facility, we could increase basic efficiency (bringing it to a par with other classes) and we could begin to get costs under greater control. This would feed through to the quality of terms offered to policyholders and it would enable insurers and brokers to grow as profitable businesses.
There is no technological barrier to ecommerce in health insurance – it is proven in other classes, where the benefits are many and varied for all concerned. It is purely a matter of will on the part of certain providers who fear for their commercial wellbeing.
One of the arguments such firms have used in defence of not releasing claims information is that SME business in particular is "community rated", with claims histories having little impact on underwriting calculations. But the clear evidence proves that the market does now differentially price SME business, making a policyholder's claims record a direct and weighty influence on their premium.
This makes it even more of a TCF issue if this information is withheld by the holding carrier.
So we have to ask: just what are those who oppose the release of claims information so worried about, and what are they trying to hide by refusing to release this information? Some argue that building a book of business takes time, effort and expense, and that this work would be undermined by the release of confidential data. But that implies that they are afraid of going toe-to-toe with market rivals. Why? Do they know they are charging more than a competitor would charge?
If 2008 has been the year when claims sharing has become a dominant issue in health insurance circles, 2009 may be the year when genuine progress is made in tackling it. Leading figures will meet in January to discuss the issue. We should resolve now to make the New Year one of regulatory compliance and constructive competition.

FCC Chairman Accused of Abusing Power
FCC Chairman Accused of Abusing Power
Roy Mark
Posted 2008-12-09
House Democrats issue a report accusing FCC Chairman Kevin Martin of egregious abuses of power, suppression of information and manipulation of data. Among the charges: burying engineering reports that said broadband over power lines wasn't ready for prime time and reversing a decision that found Verizon guilty of violating Customer Propriety Network Information rules.
U.S. House Democrats released the results of their yearlong investigation of Federal Communications Commission Chairman Kevin Martin's handling of the agency. Although the report found Martin guilty of the "most egregious abuses of power, suppression of information and manipulation of data," the probe stopped short of accusing Martin of breaking any laws. The report-
Deception and Distrust: The Federal Communications Commission Under Chairman Kevin J. Martin
-was prompted by allegations that Martin manipulated or suppressed information to foster his own agenda, particularly his interest in forcing cable companies to offer a la carte programming.
The investigation also found that Martin hasn't handled FCC affairs in an open and transparent manner and accuses Martin of creating a climate of distrust, suspicion and turmoil among the five members of the FCC.
In addition, the report found Martin ignored complaints of radio frequency interference caused by BPL (broadband over power lines) and reversed an FCC Enforcement Bureau conclusion that Verizon was guilty of violating Customer Propriety Network Information rules. "Our investigation confirmed a number of troubling allegations raised by individuals in and outside the FCC," Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, said in a statement. "The Committee staff report details some of the most egregious abuses of power, suppression of information and manipulation of data under Chairman Martin's leadership." Robert Kenney, an FCC spokesman, promptly downplayed the investigation.
"It appears that the [House Energy and Commerce] Committee did not find or conclude that there were any violations of rules, laws or procedures following a yearlong investigation," Kenney said. "Chairman Martin has followed the same procedures that have been followed for the past 20 years by FCC chairmen, Democrat and Republican alike." In October 2004, the FCC issued a final decision authorizing the operation of BPL and set rules to protect licensed incumbents operating near power lines. However, as a court case later revealed, the FCC also withheld engineering reports about potential interference problems. In April, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. circuit, said the FCC played "hide and seek" with the engineering data supporting the BPL order and that the agency "cherry-picked" its data. While advances in BPL technology eventually made the whole issue moot, the Democrats noted that the fact that the "FCC withheld the required engineering reports in this matter indicates poor judgment and an attempt to hide critical weaknesses in its decision." "Any of these findings, individually, are cause for concern," said Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. "Together, the findings suggest that, in recent years, the FCC has operated in a dysfunctional manner and commission business has suffered as a result. It is my hope that the new FCC chairman will find this report instructive and that it will prove useful in helping the commission avoid making the same mistakes."

Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them. There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples. If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a) make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at: http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. (c) Finally, you can Banish Yourself From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org.

RTX14FSH.jpg Conflict & Justice How does a boy from a seaside town in Norway end up a terrorist in Kenya?

US 20030111439 A1 Abstract In the method, a substrate is coated with different films to be patterned. These films have different etch rates. The films and substrate are then coated with a primary etch mask, and subsequently patterned to produce an electrode that has a gradual taper at the electrode edge. The formed electrode eliminates any abrupt substrate to electrode step, so that any subsequent thin-film deposition of piezoelectric material is continuous over the entire electrode surface and the electrode/substrate interface.

Description [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention generally relates to the fabrication of electronic devices and more particularly to a method and system for tapering the sidewall angle of an etched thin film that is part of the formed electronic device. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] Conventionally, electronic devices are made through thin-film depositions, each followed by or combined with one or more processing steps. As a specific example, a thin film resonator (TFR) typically is comprised of a piezoelectric material interposed between two conductive electrodes, one of which can be formed on a solid support structure or thin membrane. [0005] As a specific example, for 2 GHz applications, a 25,000 Angstroms-thick piezoelectric film is deposited over a 2,000 Angstroms-thick patterned base electrode, which provides electrical connectivity between resonators. The piezoelectric material is typically AlN, but may also be formed of ZnO or CdS amongst other piezoelectric materials. The electrodes are formed from a conductive material, preferably of Al, but may be formed from other conductors as well. These films are deposited and lithographically patterned into their useful form in much the same way modern integrated circuits are made. [0006] As just described, the piezoelectric film typically extends across the edges of the patterned base electrode. However, the deposition of this film across the patterned metal edge often results in cracking of the piezoelectric film along this metal edge. [0007] This discontinuity is due in part to the fabrication process. As previously noted, the piezoelectric is typically deposited on the patterned conducting electrode. The electrode patterning process necessarily creates a near vertical step between a substrate surface on which the electrode is patterned and the electrode surface. Accordingly, subsequent deposition of the piezoelectric film results in film fracturing wherever the piezoelectric film covers the electrode edges at the step between electrode and substrate. [0008] This discontinuous or fractured piezoelectric film thus deposited may lead to electrical discontinuities. These discontinuities will render these devices useless, and in the case of devices on membranes, the TFR device could literally fall apart. Therefore, what is needed is a method to improve device integrity by fabricating the device so that these discontinuities are not present. [0009] The present invention provides a method for producing thin-film-based electronic devices in which patterned films may be formed with tapered edges. The degree of taper is determined and controlled chemically; that is, by the chemical composition of an etch bath used in patterning the films. [0010] In the method, a substrate is coated with different films, each of which are to be patterned. The films have different, pre-measured etch rates in a pre-determined etching solution. These films and substrate are then coated with a primary etch mask, and subsequently etched to produce an patterned film that has a gradual taper at the patterned edge. This patterned film may be part of an electrode formed by the process. This eliminates an abrupt substrate to electrode step, so that subsequent deposition of an overlying material is continuous over the entire electrode surface and the electrode/substrate interface. [0011] The taper is produced by controlling the relative etch rates of the deposited films and achieved by selection of the proper components of their common etch bath. Specifically, the etch rate of a film which is adjacent to the primary etch mask, is controlled so as to be some multiple of the etch rate of another lower film beneath the film adjacent to the primary etch mask. This film may thus act as a sacrificial film, or �disappearing� mask layer for the film that is disposed beneath the sacrificial film, gradually exposing the lower film to the etchant so as to induce the taper. [0012] Further scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter. However, it should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description. [0013] The present invention will become more fully understood from the detailed description given hereinbelow and the accompanying drawings, wherein like elements are represented by like reference numerals, which are given by way of illustration only and thus are not limitative of the present invention and wherein: [0014]FIG. 1 illustrates a process of forming an electrode for an electronic or acoustic device in accordance with the invention; [0015]FIG. 2 illustrates the steps in forming a thin-film resonator device in accordance with the invention; [0016] FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b) illustrate how different taper angles are obtained based on etch rate differentials in accordance with the invention; [0017] FIGS. 4(a) through 4(e) are cross-sectional views illustrating the evolution of the tapered edge in accordance with the method of the invention; and [0018]FIG. 5 illustrates a cross-section of an exemplary electronic device with tapered electrodes in accordance with the invention. [0019] The method described below may be applied to any electronic device fabrication process where an abrupt discontinuity in surface topology is undesirable. Where appropriate, the inventors describe the fabrication of a thin film resonator (TFR) as a specific example. [0020] The method of the present invention ensures a smooth topological transition between electrode and substrate when producing electronic devices. In the method, thin films having different rates, where at least one of the films represents a component of the electrode, are applied on a substrate. The components are selected so as to have differing etch rates in a common, pre-selected etch bath. These films and substrate are then coated with a primary etch mask, and subsequently patterned (etched) in a chemical bath to produce the patterned electrode. The electrode thus formed has a gradual taper at the electrode edge. This eliminates the abrupt substrate to electrode step, so that subsequent deposition of piezoelectric material provides a continuous film over the entire electrode surface and the electrode/substrate interface. [0021] The taper is produced by controlling the relative etch rates between one film that is adjacent to the primary etch mask and on top of another film. Etch-rate control is achieved by adjusting the chemical composition of the etch bath. The film adjacent the etch mask has a faster etch rate than the film beneath it. It thus acts as a sacrificial film, or a �disappearing� mask layer for the second film beneath it, gradually exposing the lower, slower-etching second film to the etchant so as to induce the taper. Both films may or may not be made of metal. Accordingly, the present invention provides a method whereby a film is patterned with tapered edges; step-induced defects in an overlaying layer, such as a piezoelectric layer are thus eliminated. [0022]FIG. 1 illustrates a process of forming an electrode for an electronic or acoustic device in accordance with the invention. Prior to forming the electrode, the composition type of the chemical bath should be determined (Step S1). The bath's components may be defined theoretically and/or experimentally, and should be characterized by differential etch rates of the materials employed so that the bath's etch rate on the first, upper film (see for example film 115 in FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b)) is faster than its etch rate on the adjacent second film (see for example film 110 in FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b)). [0023] In a preferred embodiment, a titanium/aluminum metal stack of materials could be used under a pattern-defining layer (see for example film 120 in FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b)) to form the base electrode of an electronic device or acoustic device such as a TFR. The etchant used to pattern the electrode could be a mixture of phosphoric, acetic, and hydrofloric acids, for example, which etches Ti faster than it etches Al. [0024] Next, a base support structure such as a substrate is provided (Step S2). The base structure may be a silicon wafer substrate, and, in the case of a TFR, preferably may be coated with a plurality of alternating acoustic reflecting layers of acoustically mismatched materials such as SiO2 and AIN, which are mounted on a solid substrate such as a silicon, quartz, or glass wafer. Alternatively, the substrate may be a membrane which is fabricated by removal of the material beneath it. In this embodiment, the substrate is a Si substrate which has been coated with layers of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and poly-silicon. [0025] After providing the substrate, a thin metal film layer approximately 100 nanometers (or 100�10−9 meters) thick is deposited on the substrate surface (Step S3). The metal film may be the bottom surface electrode which is common to series and shunt TFR components (not shown) and is preferably composed of Al, but other conductors may be used as well. This deposition may preferably be performed in a vacuum chamber using one of a variety of thin-film deposition techniques which are known in the art, such as RF sputtering, DC sputtering of a metallic target, electron beam deposition, etc. [0026] Particularly, this film has a desired or specified etch rate R2 in the selected bath that will be used to pattern-etch the electrode. As noted, the film may be spin-coated, vacuum deposited, plated, etc or applied using any of a variety of thin-film deposition techniques known in the art. In a preferred embodiment, the inventors have used physical vapor deposition (PVD), a vacuum-based technique, to deposit a metal film such as Al on the substrate. [0027] In the next step, another film having an etch rate RI in the selected bath is deposited (Step S4) on the film layer formed in Step (S3). To assure a suitable taper, R1 will be greater than R2. Preferably this second layer is a thin titanium (Ti) film, although neither of the two films are required to be metal and could also be formed of non-metal materials. [0028] Once the two films have been deposited, they undergo a patterning process. A lithographic process may be employed in which a thin layer of a photo-sensitive, chemically-resistant polymer, or �photo resist�, is applied to completely coat the films (Step S5). Exposure to light through a �photo mask�, a material or masking layer that has holes or openings at certain locations for light to pass, sensitizes the photo resist such that subsequent immersion in a developer removes only that resist material that was subject to the light. At this point, the sample surface consists of regions where the protective resist layer remains, and regions of un-protected metal. [0029] Accordingly in Step S5, the substrate and films are coated with a mask material; defined within this material is the appropriate pattern. Photo-resist is the material most often used for this step, and this is true in the inventors' process as well. Standard resist processing techniques as above are employed, although variations may be used to help determine the final film profile. Such a treatment would inhibit resist adhesion during the etch, enhancing the etch of the top film and thereby increasing the taper. [0030] The patterning process continues with the transfer of a lithographically-defined pattern into the metal layers via an etching process (Step S6). This process is carried out in the chemical bath determined in Step S1. Specifically, the process used to remove metal is a wet-chemical etching process. This process, through chemical action, removes any metal which is left unprotected by the photo resist, while leaving the resist-coated metal largely intact, thereby �sculpting� the metallic surface into the desired electrode pattern. Alternatively instead of wet-chemical etching, certain combinations of gasses could be used for this patterning process. [0031] When the remaining etch mask material (photo resist) is removed by a solvent (Step S7), a metallic layer such as an electrode, which is defined by the desired pattern, remains. Alternatively, if the desired surface is to be that of the bottom metal, the remaining top metal layer could be removed by selective etching. In either case, the tapered electrode remains, because the relatively rapid removal of the upper Ti film causes its etch front to progress at a higher rate than the etch front in the underlying Al film. The upper film thus acts as a �disappearing mask�, resulting in a taper in the Al metal film edge. [0032]FIG. 2 illustrates the remaining steps in forming a thin-film resonator device in accordance with the invention. The semi-completed device is then returned to the vacuum chamber for the deposition of an active piezoelectric material layer (Step S8). Similar to the metal deposition alternatives listed above, the piezoelectric layer can be deposited in different ways, such as through RF sputtering of an insulating target, pulsed DC reactive sputtering of a metallic target, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) for example. The material is grown so that it is evenly deposited on top of the bottom electrode and substrate. Moreover, there is no discontinuity at a junction with the electrode and substrate, because of the tapered edges formed due to the differing etch rates of the two films comprising the electrode. [0033] Finally, the piezoelectric may be coated with a second set of thin metal film layers Al and Ti, which will form the top electrode of the TFR component (Step S9). This electrode layer may be formed exactly as the first electrode was formed in FIG. 1, with the films patterned and etched (Step S10) using the chemical etching process described above. Once the photo resist is removed, the resultant structure is that of a TFR device, which could be incorporated into a TFR-based RF filter for example. [0034] FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b) illustrate how different taper angles are obtained based on etch rate differentials in accordance with the invention. On top of a substrate 105, there is deposited a first film 110, a second film 115 and then the etching mask (photo resist 120). The taper angle is controlled by the etch bath composition, which is a combination of chemicals such that etch rate R1 (the etch rate of film 115) is greater than etch rate R2 (the etch rate of the film 110). Shown in FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b) are the edge-taper angles obtained for a relative etch ratio of 2:1 (α=26�, where etch rate R1 is twice as fast as R2), and for a higher ratio of 3:1 (α=18�). [0035] FIGS. 4(a) through 4(e) are cross-sectional views illustrating the evolution of the tapered edge in accordance with the method of the invention. In FIGS. 4(a)-4(e) there is an inset key to assist in identifying the various films. FIG. 4(a) illustrates a sample with only the resist patterned, before etching has begun (To). Once etching begins, the Ti layer (Film 1) is more quickly eaten away by the etchant (hence disappearing mask layer) than is the Al film (Film 2). As the patterning process progresses through times T1 to T4, the etch front in the Ti layer (Film 1) continues its relatively rapid progress, progressively exposing more Al surface of Film 2 to the etchant and thus causing a slope or taper to be formed during patterning. The slope of this taper may be controlled by adjusting etch bath components and/or etch ratios, a flatter slope being obtained with a higher relative etch ratio between Film 1 and Film 2. [0036]FIG. 5 illustrates a cross-section of an exemplary electronic device with tapered electrodes in accordance with the invention. As shown in FIG. 5, electronic device 500 includes a substrate 505, bottom electrode 510, piezoelectric film 515 and top electrode 520. The junction where the edge of bottom electrode meets substrate 505 is smooth, and the piezoelectric film 515 is continuous over this electrode/substrate junction due to the formation of the tapered edges 522, as described above in accordance with the invention. Accordingly, the electronic device 500 is not subject to the possibility of a discontinuous or fractured piezoelectric film that renders conventional devices useless. [0037] The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Although the process has been described with respect to TFR devices, this technique may also be applied to other technologies involving aluminum metallization, or other metallization schemes. Such variations are not to be regarded as departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.

EU Commission Takes Steps To Suspend Bee-Toxic Pesticides
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The European Commission announced yesterday its position against the use of neonicotinoid insecticides, pushing nations within the European Union (EU) to impose a two year suspension on their use. The proposal, put forward at a meeting of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, would restrict the application of neonicotinoids as granules, seed-treatment or spray, on crops that are attractive to bees, particularly, sunflowers, rapeseed, corn, cotton, and cereal crops. Environmental groups say that this decision should signal the way forward for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to suspend neonicotinoids in the U.S.
"It's a great thing," said New York beekeeper Jim Doan, "I'm hoping that the EPA follows in their footsteps. While I recognize our government works differently, it says something that the European government has recognized the overwhelming data on the impact of these pesticides."
The announcement comes on the heels of research conducted by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) which indicated that three neonicotinoid insecticides—imidacloprid, clothianidin, and thiamethoxam, produced by Switzerland's Syngenta and Germany's Bayer, pose an unacceptable hazards to honey bees.
In its report released January 16 th, EFSA concludes that systemic contamination of neonicotinoid-treated crops, neonicotinoid dust exposure, and contaminated nectar and pollen contributes to declines in honey bees and weakens their hives. High risks were also identified from exposure to guttation fluid from corn for thiamethoxam.
"Independent science increasingly points to pesticides, especially neonicotinoids, as a critical factor in honeybee declines. Europe's action, based on this growing body of research, should spur EPA to impose new restrictions on these pesticides," said Paul Towers, a spokesperson for Pesticide Action Network North America. In light of these findings, the EU Commission is urging member states to suspend neonicotinoid treatment on crops that are considered attractive to bees, i.e. flowering crops. Commission health spokesman Frederic Vincent indicated that, "We hope the regulation can be adopted before March," and at the latest by July 1, 2013. "Our declining U.S. honey bees, bumblebees and other pollinators, and of course our struggling beekeepers nationwide, need at least the same protections from the far-too-deadly neonicotinoids as their European counterparts are getting," said Peter Jenkins, attorney at the Center for Food Safety. Beekeepers and environmental groups including the Center for Food Safety, Beyond Pesticides, and Pesticide Action Network North America, filed an emergency legal petition in 2012 with the EPA seeking an immediate halt to the use of clothianidin until adequate studies have been completed and safeguards put in place. The agency denied the petition and is considering other less immediate action.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Henry Benjamin Wheatley (1838–1917) was a prolific writer on bibliography, literature and the arts. As founder of the Index Society, and editor of The Bibliographer, he was also involved in the foundation of the Library Association. In that context he wrote several works on library topics. How to Form a Library was published in 1886, when libraries were spreading rapidly throughout England. The book provides advice on the selection of material for different kinds of libraries and audiences, and suggests a list of core works. Although the choices reflect the period in which it was written - a point Wheatley makes about earlier lists - it nonetheless has a value in giving insight into the intellectual interests of the day. He was firmly against librarians acting as moral censors, and although his list of required reading is unlikely to be followed today, the book contains much valuable information on library history.

Nelly Island is the largest and easternmost of the Frazier Islands, lying in Vincennes Bay off Wilkes Land, East Antarctica.
The Frazier Islands were delineated from aerial photographs taken by US Navy's Operation Highjump in February 1947. Nelly Island was visited on 21 January 1956 by a party of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) who established an astronomical control station there. It was so named by ANARE because of the giant petrels, or nellies, nesting there.
Antarctic Specially Protected Area[edit]
The island forms part of the Frazier Islands Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) No.160 because it supports one of only four known breeding colonies of Southern Giant Petrels on continental Antarctica.[1]

No family celebration or picnic is complete without stuffed or deviled eggs. Try one of our ten scrumptious variations.
Deviled Eggs with Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese
Hard-cooked eggs get dolled up with the classic combination of smoked salmon and cream cheese. If you're buying smoked salmon for a special occasion, set aside some for this hors d'oeuvrCrab Salad-Stuffed Eggs
Preparing the egg and crab salad with Greek-style yogurt instead of mayonnaise cuts back on the fat and calories. Serve on a bed of butter lettuce leaves with thinly sliced radishes for a simple and elegant presentation.French-Style Stuffed Eggs
If you plan to dye Easter eggs, cook extras for this dish. Stuffed eggs are often served warm in France, and this recipe is similar to one from the Périgord region.Deviled Eggs
At only 9 cents per serving, these tasty eggs are a cost-effective appetizer or side at your Easter gathering. Top with paprika, capers, or dill to dress them up and add a hint of extra flavor.Lemon-Dill Chicken Salad-Stuffed Eggs

The filling for Southern-style basic deviled eggs is nothing more than egg yolks, mayonnaise, mustard and sweet pickle relish. These deviled eggs are perfect for potlucks, tailgates, and summer suppers.Bacon Deviled Eggs
Experimenting with bacon on egg-salad sandwiches at a deli led a Sunset reader to create these simple deviled eggs.Tex-Mex Deviled Eggs
This deviled egg recipe features cilantro, peppers, and chili powder, giving it a distinctively south-of-the-border kick! To take the heat up or down a notch, experiment with the amount of pepper and chili powder you add to the yolk filling.Chive-Tarragon Deviled Eggs
Reviewer Cm31954 has a tip for anyone wanting picture-perfect deviled eggs: "I used a small ziplock bag with the tip cut off to fill the eggs. They looked like a professional did them. They were easy and a huge success on Father's Day."Barbecue Deviled Eggs
One reviewer writes, "This recipe rocks...the pork is what makes it! Couldn't imagine ever making deviled eggs any other way anymore. I'd give it six stars if I could!!!"

MasterMind 2013 Finalist: Typoe
Miami New Times' MasterMind Awards honors the city's most inspiring creatives. This week, we're profiling the 10 finalists, selected by our staff from over 100 submissions, who are in the running to receive one of three 2013 MasterMind awards, each of which comes with a fat $1,000 check. This year's MasterMind Award winners will be announced Thursday, February 28, at Artopia, our annual soiree celebrating Miami culture. For tickets and more information, visit the website.
By the time he was 15, Michael Gran was surrounded by death and destruction, running with gangs and committing robberies to feed a growing crack habit. Finally, his parents took drastic action and sent him up North to boarding school.
"I probably would have ended up dead or in prison like a lot of my friends [otherwise]," says Gran, better known as Typoe, the graffiti handle he adopted before branching out to become one of Miami-Dade's most talented multidisciplinary artists.
Typoe's work is never far from the chaos of his youth. Though he was raised in a stable family -- his father, Bernard, is a doctor, and his mom, Jacki, an artist -- he was always rebellious. By the time he finished middle school, he was already tagging his moniker around Coral Gables and Kendall.
"I became that kid, the one other parents didn't want their children hanging around," says Typoe, who is now 29.
After one too many brushes with the law, his parents shipped him to the Hyde School in Bath, Maine. The school helped, he says, but when he returned to Miami in 2003, he quickly relapsed into a crack-and-heroin binge.
"After four days of nonstop abuse, I was coughing up blood and felt like I was dying. That's when I decided to check myself into detox," he says.
That decision was a turning point. Typoe has been sober ever since, and his career has exploded from Wynwood walls to fine-art galleries.
He first made a name as a member of international graffiti crew TCP, but he always had an eye on pushing boundaries. So he worked his way into Anthony Spinello's gallery by doing odd jobs: painting walls, sweeping floors, hanging art.
Spinello quickly saw Typoe had more to offer than grunt labor. His sculptures featuring human skeletons and mutlicolored explosions earned him a spot in the gallery. In 2010, one of those pieces, Confetti Death, depicting a skull vomiting rainbow bits of shattered spray-paint caps, went viral online after starring at Scope Art Fair.
He hasn't looked back. Primary Projects, which he cofounded, remains one of the Design District's edgiest spaces. Typoe was recently featured in Skull Style: Skulls in Contemporary Art and Design, a book that places his pieces alongside those by Damien Hirst and Alexander McQueen.
Now he has come full circle with his latest project: a series of white drawings about Miami's hedonistic side. "I'm using cocaine to make the drawings," Typoe says. "You can say I've switched my addictions from drugs and chaos to making art."

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Yogini (Sanskrit: योगिनी, yoginī, IPA: [ˈjoɡiːniː]) is the complete form source word of the masculine yogi- and neutral/plural "yogin." Far from being merely a gender tag to all things yogi, "Yogini" represents both a female master practitioner of Yoga, and a formal term of respect for a category of modern female spiritual teachers (in both hinduism and buddhism) in eastern countries such as India, Nepal, and Tibet.
In the Hindu tradition, mother is first guru (teacher) and in the Yoga tradition, proper respect of Yoginis is a necessary part of the path to liberation. A Yogini is the sacred feminine force made incarnate: the goddesses of mythology (Lakshmi, Parvati, Durga, Kali) as well as the ordinary human woman who is enlightened, both having exuberant passion, spiritual powers and deep insight, capable of giving birth to saints, peacemakers, and Yogis.[1] In the initiatory traditions of both yoga & shamanism, self-mastery of sexual energy within a moral code of sacred sexuality for both females and males (as monastic sannyasins or as householder brahmacharis), as opposed to merely yoga-asanas.
Numerous great yoginis and female mystics are mentioned in the Vedas; in fact, many of the vedic rishis were yoginis, rishikas.[2] In classical Sanskrit literature, Yogini is the name of a class of female tantric sorceresses in the train of Durga, sometimes enumerated as 60, 64 or 65 (Harivaṃśa, Kathāsaritsāgara).[3]
Female power here denotes balance. In her book Passionate Enlightenment: Women in Tantric Buddhism, scholar Miranda Shaw writes that a large number of women like Dombiyogini, Sahajayogicinta, Lakshminkara, Mekhala, Kankhala Gangadhara, Siddharajni, and others, were respected yoginis and advanced seekers on the path to enlightenment.
In the Tibetan Buddhism and Bön tradition, a female practitioner is known as a ngagma (see ngagpa), and in the Drikung Kagyu school of Buddhism, togdenma (Tenzin Palmo). These married tantric practitioners are required to devote significant time to retreat and spiritual practice. Ngagma are particularly known for performing birth rituals, weddings, funerals, divinations, and pacification of spiritual disruptions. Some ngagmas are comparable in practice to the Mahasidda yoginis of Indian Buddhism.
Yogini is a term that finds reference in several texts related to Hinduism and Buddhism where its literal meaning is "shaman" or wisdom seer (rishi), a definition that could just as easily be interpreted as "alchemist." Some of the greatest of the ancient rishis were in fact women.[4] A female rishi is known as a rishika.[5]
In a wider and general context, a Yogini is a human woman who, through the practice of Yoga, may possess supernatural powers, including the ability to transcend the normal aging process via internalization of the reproductive power known as urdhva-retas (upward refinement of the seed-force) and even death, attaining divya sharira (immortal divine body).
Though the leaders of the modern Yoga-asana & meditation tradition have often been male, the vast majority of modern practitioners are female,[6] including many who have attained mastery via steadfast awareness through the Shakti sensations of menses, fertility, childbirth, and breastfeeding. In the Shakta branch of hinduism, creation myths place the Divine Feminine at their center, taking the Tantric view that the nature of the Cosmos (or Macrocosm) is reflected in the human body (or Microcosm), and it is the Female who gestates and gives birth to new life. "Only the female can awaken the muladhara chakra (the seat of the Kundalini-shakti) via fertility and sexuality; the male must use kriya Yoga."[7]
In some branches of tantra Yoga, ten wisdom goddesses (or dakinis) serve as models for a Yogini's disposition and behavior. In the mythological context, the word Yogini may indicate an advanced Yoga practitioner who is one or more of the following:
During the Hindu goddess Durga's battles with the forces of inhumanity (asuras), eight yoginis are described emanating from the body of Durga, and they assisted her in the battle. In later texts, the number of Yoginis increased to sixty-four. All these Yoginis represented forces of vegetation and fertility, illness and death, Yoga and magic. All Yoginis are worshipped collectively and together, each one is enshrined in an individual position in a circular temple open to the sky (Sri Yantra). Legendary Indian Classical Vocalist Dr. Prabha Atre is conferred with the title Swaryogini.

According to the Hatha-Yoga-Pradipika text, a yogini is more specifically a woman initiate who can preserve her own genital ejaculate (rajas) and contain the male semen (bindu) by means of the practice of the vajroli-mudra, also practiced in reverse by advanced yogis.[8]
There are four major extant sixty four yogini temples in India, two in Odisha and two in Madhya Pradesh. One of the most impressive yogini temples in Odisha is the 9th century CE hypaethral Chausathi yogini (sixty-four yogini) temple located at Hirapur in Khurda district, 15 km south of Bhubaneshwar. Another hypaethral sixty-four yogini temple in Odisha is the Chausathi yogini pitha in Ranipur-Jharial, near Titilagarh in Balangir district. Presently only 62 images are found in this temple.[9]
Two notable Yogini temples in Madhya Pradesh are the 9th century CE Chaunsath yogini temple to the southwest of the western group of temples in Khajuraho, near Chhatarpur in Chhatarpur District and the 10th century CE Chaunsath yogini mandir in Bhedaghat, near Jabalpur in Jabalpur district.[10][11]
The iconographies of the Yogini images in four Yogini temples are not uniform. In Hirapur yogini temple, all Yogini images are with their vahanas (vehicles) and in standing posture. In Ranipur-Jharial temple the yogini images are in dancing posture. In Bhedaghat temple Yogini images are seated in Lalitasana.[12]
The 64 Yoginis that have been depicted in the Hirapur Chausat Yogini Shrine are
1. Bahurupa 2. Tara 3. Narmada 4. Yamuna 5. Shanti 6. Varuni 7. Kshemankari 8. Aindri 9. Varahi 10. Ranveera 11. Vanara-Mukhi 12. Vaishnavi 13. Kalaratri 14. Vaidyaroopa 15. Charchika 16. Betali 17. Chinnamastika 18. Vrishabahana 19. Jwala Kamini 20. Ghatavara 21. Karakali 22. Saraswati 23. Birupa 24. Kauveri 25. Bhaluka 26. Narasimhi 27. Biraja 28. Vikatanna 29. Mahalakshmi 30. Kaumari 31. Maha Maya 32. Rati 33. Karkari 34. Sarpashya 35. Yakshini 36. Vinayaki 37. Vindya Balini 38. Veera Kumari 39. Maheshwari 40. Ambika 41. Kamiyani 42. Ghatabari 43. Stutee 44. Kali 45. Uma 46. Narayani 47. Samudraa 48. Brahmini 49. Jwala Mukhi 50. Agneyei 51. Aditi 52. Chandrakanti 53. Vayubega 54. Chamunda 55. Murati 56. Ganga 57. Dhumavati 58. Gandhari 59. Sarva Mangala 60. Ajita 61. Surya Putri 62. Vayu Veena 63. Aghora 64. Bhadrakali
Often the Matrikas are confused with the Yoginis which may be sixty-four or eighty-one.[13] In Sanskrit literature the Yoginis have been represented as the attendants or various manifestations of Durga engaged in fighting with the demons Shumbha and Nishumbha, and the principal Yoginis are identified with the Matrikas.[14] Other Yoginis are described as born from one or more Matrikas. The derivation of 64 Yogini from 8 Matrikas became a tradition. By mid- 11th century, the connection between Yoginis and Matrikas had become common lore. The Mandala (circle) and chakra of Yoginis were used alternatively. The 81 Yoginis evolve from a group of nine Matrikas, instead of seven or eight. The Saptamatrika (Brahmi, Maheshvari, Kaumari, Vaishnavi, Varahi, Indrani (Aindri) and Chamundi) joined by Candika and Mahalakshmi form the nine Matrika cluster. Each Matrika is considered to be a Yogini and is associate with eight other Yoginis resulting in the troupe of 81 (nine times nine).[15]

"It was a turning point for public sympathy. That type of remark is never ever appropriate in public," the attorney said, adding that the "media have been attacking him like jackals" and Ford "lost it."
Ford announced Thursday that he was seeking medical help, though he declined to provide details. Although the mayor has admitted to excessive drinking and using and buying illegal drugs, he and his family insist he is not an addict and does not need rehab.
Still, even Morris said the recently released court documents show the mayor has a drinking problem. But he also criticized police for allowing Ford to drink and drive while under surveillance over the past six months.
"The problem drug Rob has is alcohol, that's obvious," Morris told the AP. "What I found very strange is that the police allowed a lot of this to go on under their supervision. If he was drinking and driving and he was impaired they should have stopped him."
Ford's troubles began in May when news reports of the crack video surfaced. After months of evading the question, the mayor admitted to having smoked crack when Toronto police announced they had obtained the video. Authorities say the video does not amount to enough evidence to charge the mayor and it has not been released.
Revelations have rapidly surfaced of other startling behavior, including a video showing the mayor threatening to kill someone in an incoherent rant.
It has been a stunning decline for mayor who was elected three years ago with overwhelming support from Toronto's conservative-leaning suburbs, where many voters felt angry about what they considered wasteful spending and elitist politics at City Hall.
John Filion, the councilor who introduced Friday's motion, has said the goal is to prevent Ford from firing executive committee members who speak out against him. A motion to be considered Monday, already signed by 28 of the 44 council members, will take away his budget and appoint the deputy mayor as head of the executive committee.
Earlier this week, the council voted overwhelmingly to ask Ford to take a leave of absence, but the motion was non-binding.
