We need to learn from our mistakes, take a hard look at the science and use DDT where and when it is needed: to save lives.
"Silent Spring," probably the most influential book ever written, "caused serious problems in terms of reluctance of people to use insecticides for public health value," said Durland Fish, director of the Yale Institute for Biospheric Studies Center for EcoEpidemiology. To be sure, he said, we've made it very difficult for an honest use of pesticides. "There has been quite a bit of regulation, sometimes over-regulation of pesticides but some effort needs to be made to bring some rationale back to the whole story of pesticides." He pointed to a U.S. Centers for Disease Control-funded Lyme disease study he did in Westchester County, N.Y., that showed that a single application of a commonly used insecticide reduced the risk of Lyme disease 97 percent but the county health department recommended against spraying.
This complicated global juggling (how much of the chemicals and where) has been played out in the press as fierce debates between environmentalists, who, rightly so, worry about the long-lasting impact of these poisons and public health experts, who, rightly so, worry about the millions of children dying from infectious diseases. In the real world, though, the issue is not so much about narrow-minded experts hollering at each other as it is about a network of do-gooders who have different sets of priorities. If you spend your life studying how high doses of organophosphates may impair children's cognition, you'll come into this debate with a different category of worries than if you take care of kids who are brain-damaged from malaria.
The environmentalists see the downside of chemicals. They read studies such as the recent ones in The Journal of Epidemiology suggesting that DDT exposure may increase rates of miscarriage or reduce fertility. A South Africa study suggested DDT affects sperm physiology.
Public Health officials focus on the immediate dangers of the mosquito-carrying diseases. Every day 2,200 Africans die from malaria, the vast majority are children younger than 5, according to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. Put another way, every 30 seconds, malaria kills one African child. Those who survive are often left weak — physically and mentally. It is a disease that is clobbering entire nations.
The real solution, according to the experts, is to do what I always nag my kids about: Use common sense, learn from mistakes and get along with the other players. That means that we have to look at the science, not the politics of pesticides and use them judiciously and only when needed.
We have to learn, for the first time, to use restraint when we discover a new poison for the bugs. Alternating a few chemicals in limited use will prolong resistance. And we have to realize that we'll never control these diseases simply. These bugs are clever creatures, always one step ahead of us. If we want to make any advance, it will take a sustained, labor-intensive effort incorporating low doses of pesticides along with surveillance and prevention. For malaria, this also means impregnated bednets and good diagnostic techniques so we only treat people who truly have malaria.
And lastly, the environmentalists and the health folks should sit down together, a peace conference of sorts. Or, as Yale's Fish said, "the public health funding agencies are not responsible for the environment and the Environmental Protection Agency is not responsible for health. We need to engage each other in outcomes so there won't be conflicts."

OKay so my last two games on TT were... My team lvls 22 23 18 vs 18 30 30 My other game was my team lvls, 22 7 19 vs 21 30 30 Why is matchmakert so bad?
lol at least you get to play vs level 30s

It's based off of normal elo. That and the fact that I don't think many people queue 3's that often, sadly enough ._.
The matchmaker leaves something to be desired at the best of times, but with the lower 3's population, it's job is even harder. If you get matched against a higher level team, suck it up and do your best. And most importantly, learn. (oh, and have fun, but yeah, learn)
Maybe there is a silent elo for non ranked, and you're just good?
Yeah sometimes it sucks. Im lvl 30 and had a lvl 11 and 7 on my team against a 30, 28, 29. Totally sucked.

Training Reduces Churn Rate of CRM Customers
CRM has begun to look like so many other software programs that held so much promise but simply did not deliver the value customers expected. The only difference today is that cloud based CRM software does not require the costly hardware or lengthy implementation schedules of products just a few years ago. All that is required is some training and a commitment to its use.
Some businesses seem to be struggling with this concept and believe if the product requires professional training then it is too hard to use. Smart businesses however recognize that with an hour or two of training they can exceed their initial expectation of what they can realize from a CRM solution.
If you are considering an online CRM solution get some training and you will appreciate how these programs can help you to become a more efficient sales and service organization.

Comments about 100 oz Silver Bars - Heraeus (Extruded):
This bar is not the best because that has to go to RCM .9999 serialized bars but this bar is the next one down from that. When I buy my bars i look for it to be reputable, recognized, and for it to have a serial number. This one is a beauty and the extrusion process makes it very uniform in shape and size. Also like that the corners are sharp.
Comments about 100 oz Silver Bars - Heraeus (Extruded):

Celebrity 'fractivists': True advocates or NIMBYs?
NEW YORK (AP) â¿¿ The scene: a Manhattan art-house theater. The cause: a campaign against the gas drilling process known as fracking that's being led by more than 100 celebrities, including Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon, Robert Redford, Mark Ruffalo and Mario Batali.
Outside, demonstrators in hazmat suits circle the theater. Inside, actress Scarlett Johansson attends a benefit screening of "Gasland," the documentary film that has become the movement's manifesto. Johansson tells The Associated Press that her "Avengers" co-star Ruffalo introduced her to the cause, and that she found the film "incredibly shocking."
The campaign has galvanized hundreds of thousands of followers, but as with many activist causes, the facts can get drowned out by the glitz. Now, some experts are asking whether the celebrities are enlightened advocates or NIMBYs â¿¿ crying "Not in my backyard!" â¿¿ even as their privileged lives remain entwined, however ruefully, with fossil fuels. ___ Storm halts Midwest flights, heads for Washington A late-winter storm barreled through the Midwest, snarling air travel in and out of Chicago, and it will soon take aim at busy airports around Washington, D.C.

Legislators visit FBI Center in Clarksburg
As part of the three-day interim session, state legislators with the Joint Committee on Technology traveled to the FBI Center in Harrison County.
Stephen Morris, Assistant Director of the Criminal Justice Information Services Division said he was thankful for the visit so he could provide an update on the work they are doing.
"We have such a great story to tell here that really reflects, I think, so well on the state of West Virginia, particularly on the Clarksburg and Morgantown area," he said. "I'm thinking there are years and years of more success. I think [it's important] for folks to understand and know the impact this facility has on the community and has on the world."
One of the things Morris talked about was the improvements made to the various information sharing systems such as the National Instant Background Check System used for gun purchases or the National Data Exchange which contains information on every stage of the criminal justice process.
A system featured during the presentation was the National Crime Information Center, which is used by law enforcement seeking instant information. It was created in 1967 and was next overhauled in 1999. The system contains many records including those related to stolen property, the National Sex Offender Registry and a list of Missing Persons.
The system was again overhauled recently and Morris said they recently set ar record for the number of uses in a single day with the database searched 14 million times, returning results to the law enforcement officers at an average of .018 seconds.
"It's refreshing because people don't realize, I don't believe they realize, that the state of West Virginia, the country and the world are a much safer place because of they business they conduct over there," Delegate Randy Swartzmiller (D-Hancock, 01) said. "It's a true blessing that we have them in West Virginia."
The other main subject Morris discussed was the Division's work with Biometric Identification, which includes putting together one of the FBI's longest projects in its history.
The Next Generation Identification program incorporates the research into Biometrics with the goal of reducing terrortist and criminal activities by improving identification methods and criminal history information services.
The one of the most notable changes might be the improvement of the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System service. In 1999, the Division reported accuracy of around 26 percent and would give a list of matches. With improved research and technology as part of the NGI project, the accuracy rate is now between the 70th and 80th percentile, nearly three times more accurate than legacy systems.
The system is such a success, many representatives from foreign countries are making the trip to the mountain state to see for themselves.
"What we learned today, is the FBI continues to evolve in West Virginia," Swartzmiller said. "They're not complacent with old software and old ways of doing business. They continue to grow to be a world leader out there."
Morris also mentioned the impact the facility has on the community.
Most of the workers at the center live in Harrison County where they spend the nearly $236 million distributed in wages, he said. They also reach out to local, small businesses with "Vendor Days" to discover if they have any services to offer and vice versa.
The facility is looking to bring in more people as well. A Biometrics Center is being constructed on the ground in a partnership with the Department of Defense. Morris said once the two organizations have their Biometrics set up in the facility, more agencies and more employees will be brought to the area.
With private companies coming to the area as well working in Biometrics, Morris went as far as to liken the industry's rising to the tech revolution in Silicon Valley, California.
"They are a tremendous, a phenomenal economic engine to not only the local economy, but to the state of West Virginia," Swartzmiller said.
The FBI's CJIS Division facility was constructed in 1991 when 989 acres of land was purchased from Clarksburg.

excited (metastable) electronic states that can be made to re-emit on command. Examples of photonic energy storage exist in the form of chemiluminescent materials, but the systems currently available are not applicable for a variety of reasons. This area of materials research requires a breakthrough that will emerge only as a result of basic research.
Displays represent another important area of organic materials research for information processing. Flat panel displays are currently based on twisted nematic liquid crystals and require at least one substrate transistor to drive each pixel. Use of surface stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystals would provide greatly increased switching speed and a wider viewing angle and would, in principle, simplify the display design. The address of each pixel would require only an orthogonal grid array, which is less demanding (and cheaper) to produce than the current method. The introduction of ferroelectric displays is limited by the instability of the surface alignment, leading to mechanical and thermal shock instability. The alignment techniques that have evolved empirically suffice for the twisted nematic liquid crystals, but they are inadequate for ferroelectrics. The alignment process, in which interactions of individual molecules with the surface give rise to bulk alignment in layers that are microns thick, is not understood. There are theories that describe the forces controlling alignment, but there is no reasonable explanation for the generation of tilt from this interaction. Yet, the stability of alignment and control of tilt are critical to a device's performance and stability. Basic research directed toward development of a molecular-level understanding of the interaction of mesogens and alignment surfaces is essential to further development of this important area.
There have been recent discoveries of anti-ferroelectric phases for display applications that are worthy of support. These phases have hysteresis that is accessible under an applied dc offset voltage that appears to provide some of the best characteristics of the ferroelectrics. The advantage of this approach is that removal of the bias voltage reportedly results in reversion to a state that is susceptible to alignment from classical surface preparation. Hence, in principle, if the display loses alignment, repair can be achieved by inducing changes in the dc potential across the cell.
Organic photo-emitting diodes also offer great promise for display applications. Major advances have been made in the use of semiconducting, polymer-based light-emitting junctions. A barrier to progress at this time is the need for reliable electrode structures that provide efficient electrical contact with the polymeric materials. Research is also needed on the nature of the properties of organic materials that render them useful as efficient electron transport media. Hole transport appears to be easily achieved in organics, but the number of materials that function as electron transport media is very limited, and these materials have been discovered largely by accident. Basic research to develop an understanding of the structural aspects of organics that allow them to mediate electron transport efficiently could have an important impact on this field.
Another area involving active organic photonic materials is that of resists for microelectronic device fabrication. Feature sizes are now in the range of a few tenths of a micron and will probably reach about two-tenths of a micron before the end of the century. This implies a need for image edge placement and control of about two-hundredths of a micron, or 200 angstroms. At these dimensions there are energy and molecular diffusion processes that can blur the placement and size of a device's features. For example, triplet

Ted Cruz's victory in Tuesday's Texas Republican runoff for the U.S. Senate nomination is the most impressive triumph yet for the still-strengthening Tea Party impulse. And Cruz's victory coincides with something conservatives should celebrate, the centennial of the 20th century's most important intra-party struggle. By preventing former President Theodore Roosevelt from capturing the 1912 Republican presidential nomination from President William Howard Taft, the GOP deliberately doomed its chances for holding the presidency but kept its commitment to the Constitution.
As the Hudson Institute's William Schambra says (in "The Saviors of the Constitution," National Affairs, Winter 2012, and elsewhere), by their "lonely, principled" stand, New York Sen. Elihu Root and Massachusetts Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge, both close to TR, along with Taft, "denied TR the powerful electoral machinery of the Republican Party, which would almost surely have elected him, and then been turned to securing sweeping alterations" of the Constitution. Democrat Woodrow Wilson won with 41.8 percent of the vote (to TR's 27.4 percent). Taft won 23.2 percent, carrying only Vermont and Utah, but achieved something far grander than a second term -- the preservation of the GOP as an intellectual counterbalance to the Democrats' thorough embrace of progressivism and the "living" -- actually, disappearing -- Constitution.
Today, many of the Tea Party's academic despisers portray it as anti-democratic and anti-intellectual. Actually, it stands, as the forgotten heroes of 1912 did, with Madison, the most intellectually formidable Founder. He created, and the Tea Party defends, a constitutional architecture that does not thwart democracy but refines it, on the fact that in a republic, which is defined by the principle of representation, the people do not directly decide issues, they decide who will decide. And the things representatives are permitted to decide are strictly circumscribed by constitutional limits on federal power.
When Cruz comes to the Senate, he and like-minded Republicans can honor two exemplary senatorial predecessors by forming the small but distinguished Root-Lodge Caucus.

'Bottom kill' set to seal oil well for good, but worries abound in Louisiana
Louisiana residents are relieved that no more oil is spewing and that a 'bottom kill' to seal the well will begin soon. But they are also worried, about BP's commitment to a full cleanup and a report that most of the oil is gone.
Chuck Cook/AP
New Orleans
As BP prepares final operations to permanently seal the once-out-of-control oil well in the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana residents are both relieved and wary.
Many see government scientists as overly optimistic in their assessments of the current state of the spill, and they are worried about BP standing by its commitment to fully clean it up.
"We had assurances from BP that they're in for the long haul, but we don't know what the future holds once this well is killed," says Lafourche Parish president Charlotte Randolph. Ms. Randolph was one of seven parish presidents who last week attended a meeting with federal response director Thad Allen, BP chief operating officer Doug Suttles, and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal.
"Everyone is saying, 'where's the oil?'" continues Randolph. "This week in Lafourche Parish we had hundreds of barrels a day washing in. We need some clear answers from BP on what [is an appropriate cleanup], what is their exit strategy."
Three weeks after a containment cap checked the flow of petroleum into the Gulf, the vast slicks of surface oil have largely disappeared. On Aug. 4, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released a report stating that 74 percent of the estimated 200 million gallons of oil from the blown wellhead have disappeared, due largely to natural decomposition and dispersal. White House energy adviser Carol Browner said "the vast majority of the oil is gone."

Proof-theoretic semantics for a natural language fragment

Get AccessAbstract
The paper presents a proof-theoretic semantics (PTS) for a fragment of natural language, providing an alternative to the traditional model-theoretic (Montagovian) semantics (MTS), whereby meanings are truth-condition (in arbitrary models). Instead, meanings are taken as derivability-conditions in a "dedicated" natural-deduction (ND) proof-system. This semantics is effective (algorithmically decidable), adhering to the "meaning as use" paradigm, not suffering from several of the criticisms formulated by philosophers of language against MTS as a theory of meaning. In particular, Dummett's manifestation argument does not obtain, and assertions are always warranted, having grounds of assertion. The proof system is shown to satisfy Dummett's harmony property, justifying the ND rules as meaning conferring. The semantics is suitable for incorporation into computational linguistics grammars, formulated in type-logical grammar.

Lynn was great and showed real enthusiasm for helping get the best headshots possible. He was very dedicated to the mission and stayed through my photo session and collaborated with my photographer. He was very easy to work with.
Ky T.
Lynn made getting my hair and make up done fun (one of my least favorite chores) and he did a beautiful job ~ thank you!
Dylan K.
Lynn did my hair and makeup for a fitness photoshoot and WOW I will honestly say I have never looked better!! Lynn went above and beyond what I asked and the quality of work was superior to any MUA I have ever worked with. I will be honest and say that Lynn's price was worth every penny. Don't waste your time looking for any other person to work with, Lynn is it!!!!
Philita W.
Lynn and his assistant did my and my maid of honor's hair and makeup for my wedding. Lynn is great at talking, teasing, and telling stories and did a great deal to calm my nerves for the big day. He made do with the lighting situation which was really bad by doing my makeup outdoors. The only feedback regarding improvements would be to arrive early or on time and double check on locations and materials prior to giving services, so that services aren't rushed. Thank you Lynn for your part in our big day.
Kimberly A.
Omg! Lynn left me lookibg absolutely beautiful for my prom all i had to tell him was that I was going for an old hollywood look and he made it happen. He is beyond friendly its like i was getting my makeup done my a close friend he made me feel right at home. I don't think I will ever get my makeup or hair done by anyone else. Thank you so much for leaving me feeling beautiful!!! Love you Lynn
Madeleine G.
I first met Lynn when I was on a TV show called "Wings". We did two other shows together, countless photo shoots and red carpet events. He made me look beautiful, and I felt it too because we became very close friends and still are.
Farrah F.
I have had the pleasure of working with Lynn for over 20 years. He's the only makeup artist I would let touch my face. We've done 3 album covers, 9 music videos, world tours, television shows and amazing photo shoots!
If you want to look like a star, and use their makeup artist, you've found the right guy.
I am so impressed with Lynn's natural gift and expert eye for beauty. It's like he's a Michael Angelo for the face!! And his hairstyling is by far the best work I have ever experienced. I trust him with any aspect of beauty. His ability for hair coloring is superb. I've flown him all over the world just to have Lynn in every project I do.
He is amazing to work with, and will keep you entertained in every moment. Treat yourself to having your own personal makeup and hairstylist for the rest of your life!
Stick with Lynn, and you'll stick with an industry favorite!
Damon B.
I have had the pleasure and honour of working with Lynn on a couple of movie sets and also photo ad campaigns. Ever since I met him and saw his work, I have been a HUGE fan, and always squealed when I saw I was working with him again!
He is professional, and really KNOWS how to make incredibly beautiful makeup!
Valentina L.
Lynn Rodgers is a great makeup artist and hair stylist. He trimmed my hair, and the style fit my face very nicely, and my hair looked very nice for a long time after the trim. Even after just taking a shower and not blow drying my hair to style it, the haircut made me look classy, clean and elegant. I can't say the same thing about many other haircuts I got at the popular salons.
Ana T.
Lynn did my make-up for my music video! I am so happy that we found this amazing make-up artist. The work was great and we laughed the whole time. Very knowledgeable about skin, colors, and more!
Eboni J.
I love Lynn!!!!! He is fabulous. Lynn created two incredible red carpet looks on back to back nights. With both makeup and hair, he had me feeling beautiful outside and in. I felt more confident stepping up on the Dolby Theater big stage to do my thing! And so many compliments - WOW, a job super well done. Lynn, thank you, thank you.
Nancy B.
Lynn worked on a photo-shoot with my teen daughter and did an awesome job! My daughter was comfortable and Lynn was able to provide all the different looks we were seeking. We are looking forward to working with Lynn again.
THANKS LYNN! You are AWESOME!
Amelia M.
Lynn is an extrodinary excellent beauty maker :) Not only talented but full of light and laughter he's the most fun to be around. He has done my hair make up ect. for all of my work. I love working and being with Lynn Rodgers he's simply amazing, the best!
Janelle C.
Working with Lynn was FABULOUS! We shot a young model and his makeup was gorgeous, his quick change hair styles were wonderful and his personality-plus really put our sweet girl at ease and made the whole day so much fun for all of us! LOVE HIM!
Lisa B.
Lynn is crazy, but the kind everyone likes to have nearby! He is too fun, calls you sugar plumb and such, as well as calling it like he sees. And he can see!!! Makes you feel gorgeous, star like and treated as such.
Best choice! For hair, beauty and lots of fun!
Hope E.
Lynn is very amazing. His personality is just great. I am looking forward to him doing my prom hair/make-up soon!!!

Wayne C.
Lynn is amazing. I've worked with him professionally for years and he's one of the fastest and most creative stylists I know. Fantastic at both make-up and hair. Crazy talented.
Of all the people I've met through the years in the business, he's the one I asked to do my hair and make-up for my own wedding.
Melinda B.
Lynn is a fabulous make up and hair artist but he also brings a professional eye to the entire shoot. You can't go wrong with Lynn on set. Plus, he brings his great attitude and fun personality everywhere he goes!
Mandy F.
Very funny and energetic man with a lot of gurrl stories makes you laugh while he makes you pretty!
Affordable and kind!
Kayvon B.
A. My job varies from Photoshoots, Commercials, TV and film
A. Barbra Streisand for the "Today"show.
Paris Hilton for The Grammys
Photoshoot for Charlie Hunnam from the TV show "Sons of Anarchy"
A. I would look at the persons Website/Portfolio and Resume, Google them and read the Reviews.
A. People should consider that the normal charge for a kit fee is $50.00... Good Products aren't cheap..BUT, They ARE worth it!.
A. I believe everyone is beautiful...The perfect makeup and hair can turn an average person into a gorgeous star!
A. I love my job! One day I'm on a photoshoot, the next a commercial, the next a film! I love the diversity! Plus, It's a lot of hard work BUT fun!
A. It was a calling! I had nothing else I'd rather do!
A. Yes!
A. I just finished a catalog for Angelino Jeans. We had 5 male Models and 1 Female Model.Since there were 6 changes each, it took 8 hours. The photos came out Fantastic! They were kind enough to pay me $850.00 for both Makeup and Hair for the day!

I mean the WTA is clearly more up to date than the ITF, the ITF still host the slams in NYC, London, Paris and Melbourne. Clearly Beijing, Kinshasa, Florianopolis and Baku would be better locations. These are the "emerging markets" after all.
First the WTA brought the big tounaments to Asia, and now the fans have to move to Africa to be able to watch them on TV. Sounds like a winning formula to me

Drivers don't work on Geforce4 MX 440...
...and 1,174 users want to know why:
http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_pe...cgi?nvppclin&1 ...and this guy at O'Reilly seems pretty biffed too (for over a year now!): http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/2367 Debian, Gentoo, YellowDog and other PPC Linux users are unable to get the nVidia drivers working. I'm not a hardware guru, but I think one solution to this problem may be to compile the x86 Linux drivers on a PPC machine. I hear a lot of Linux users suggest people purchase graphics hardware from vendors other than nVidia, since those other vendors graphics hardware is better supported on Linux. |
Amen to that. nVidia is putting no effort into the needs of their linux/ppc customers. Sure there aren't as many of us as the x86 linux customers, but when it's something as small as trying to recompile a driver i start to think "it would cost them less $ to compile that than they'll lose with the one thousand someodd non-repeat customers.
Yeah, I think most people will agree it sucks to be a minority. I really love my powerbook and really love linux but we the minority need some support from people and the companies sometimes. Please help! *sigh* One can hope anyways.....
Naz |
Really, how hard can it be to create a ppc binary ?
There would surely be no costs cutting into NV's huge budget. Little old me thinks there maybe some other forces at work here, namely Intel. Cynical or incisive ? You be the judge, but it leaves PPC users out in the cold & does nothing for Nvidia's good-will value. Poor show, NV. |
Maybe not Intel but Apple?
Someone who signed the nVidia-Linux drivers petition made an interesting comment:
"upcoming Powerbook 1GHz 12'. NVidia should introduce the linux on PowerPC hardware platform. Unified nvidia driver for ppc shoud'nt be hard work to compile. Only the coming annoucement of ppc nvidia support is worth the value. Otherwise, there is an undisclosed contract between Apple and Nvidia to never provide nvidia ppc binaries to linux community" Do you think nVidia and Apple would really engage in such a business practice though? Hard to be sure considering... |

Baked Beans with Pork Belly and Quince
From Food & Wine
Recipe By: Michael Nischan
Nischan likes to modernize classic New England recipes for Dressing Room's menu, which he calls "updated heritage cuisine." Here he puts a spin on traditional baked beans by swapping bacon with fresh pork belly and replacing the usual molasses with fresh quince, which sweetens the beans while also thickening the sauce.

- 1 tablespoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil
- 2.50 pound(s) pork belly, skin discarded, belly sliced 1 inch thick and cut into 1-inch dice
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 4 cup(s) dried Tarbais or cannellini beans (26 ounces), soaked overnight and drained
- 1 can(s) (28-ounce) diced tomatoes, drained
- 6 sprig(s) thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 quart(s) Ham Hock Stock
- 2 pound(s) quince (about 4), peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch dice
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 cup(s) snipped chives
- Heat the olive oil in a large enameled cast-iron casserole. In 2 batches, cook the pork belly over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer the pork belly to a plate. Add the onion to the casserole and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the pork belly and the beans, tomatoes, thyme and bay leaves. Add the Ham Hock Stock and bring to a boil. Cover partially and simmer over low heat until the beans are almost tender, about 45 minutes. Skim off the fat with a ladle.
- Add the quince to the beans and season with salt and pepper. Cover partially and cook until the pork, beans and quince are very tender, about 45 minutes longer.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Transfer the beans to one 3-quart or two 1 1/2-quart baking dishes and bake until the top is lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with the chives and serve.
- Make Ahead: The baked beans can be refrigerated overnight.
- Wine Recommendation: This ultra-satisfying take on baked beans, a classic American dish, deserves an ultra-satisfying American red wine, perhaps a voluptuous Zinfandel from a warm growing region like California's Paso Robles. Try the curranty 2004 J. Lohr Old Vines or the earthy 2005 Rosenblum Cellars Paso Robles.

Camp observations: Dez Bryant active
June, 12, 2012
Todd Archer | ESPNDallas.com
IRVING, Texas -- We bring you some observations from the two-hour session on Day 1 of the Cowboys' three-day minicamp:
* If there was an MVP for the day it would go to Dez Bryant. The third-year wide receiver was all over the field, catching passes from Tony Romo. His most impressive came on a leaping left-handed grab on a bubble screen. That the play picked up all of a couple of yards meant little. It was an impressive play. The best catch was on a back-shoulder throw from Romo, adjusting around the corner to make the play. Unofficially, Bryant had seven catches in the practice.
* Jason Garrett is big on situational play and brought out a late-game situation with the No. 1 offense going against the No. 1 defense. With the defense leading by four points, the offense had four plays to score from the 18 and was unable to come through. Defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, however, had to remind the defenders to protect the goal line.
* WR Kevin Ogletree had a "wow" moment with a one-handed grab on a deep ball from Romo. It was made better (depending on the perspective) by the fact that it came against Brandon Carr, the Cowboys' No. 1 corner. It was the first deep-ball reception Carr has allowed this offseason.
* OLB DeMarcus Ware had two would-be sacks of Romo, both coming from the quarterback's blindside.
* Ryan is preaching to his defense to get turnovers. The No. 3 unit forced back-to-back fumbles, with LB Caleb McSurdy punching the ball free from Darrell Scott on a pass to the flat.
* The Cowboys have some running backs on their roster even without Felix Jones practicing. Phillip Tanner continues to show quickness in hitting the holes, and rookie free agent Lance Dunbar has some make-you-miss moves, as well. That will be a good battle to watch in training camp.
* CB Teddy Williams heard it from the coaches when he had a poor reaction to an out-route throw to Andre Holmes. He nearly got beat on the same play on the next snap, but Donavon Kemp let Stephen McGee's pass slip through his hands.
* QB Rudy Carpenter, practicing for the first time in a month because of an oblique strain, hit Saalim Hakim with a nice out route just out of the reach of CB Isaac Madison. Hakim had a difficult time catching the ball early in the OTAs but has done a better job lately.
* An interesting note among the players who did rehab work during practice (Tyrone Crawford, Felix Jones, Dan Connor, Kyle Wilber, Alex Albright and Morris Claiborne): they did so wearing their helmets.

text: Just joined...... I thought the other Pats board I was a member of was the most active, man was I wrong......tons of good, intelligent threads here! A statement for the record: 1. Trade Samuel. Give him the "Deion Deal", and get it over with. He wants to get paid more than they are willing to give him. The team has several players whose contracts will be up either this year or next who will get a deserved pay increase, or will have to be replaced. The money is better spent being spread around.

I noticed the acacia, plum and quince blooming so it must be time for the centuries old Chinese Lunar, Spring & New Year (year 4707 in the Chinese lunar-solar calendar) Festivals. The Year of the White Metal Tiger (yin branch) begins on Valentine's (Sunday, Feb. 14), the day after the second new moon (25.18 degrees Aquarius) of the year. The festival ends at the Lantern Festival and full moon (9 degrees Pisces/Virgo). Like Christmas in the west, Chinese New Year is the most important celebration in China and consists of family celebrations, gift-giving, and special foods.
This Year of the Tiger "wearing metal" signifies a non-peaceful year. "This tiger jumps around attempting to shed the metal around its body." However, Tiger is considered most caring and thoughtful, protecting loved ones and friends against injustices. The Tiger, symbolizing power and leadership, can also at times be inflexible and have difficulty with Right Relations. Tiger is "learning."

Have you ever questioned?
Life's compulsory regulations and lessons.
The processes that are automatically assumed.
These social facts that are hereditarily consumed.
This holy reasoning that can never be disputed.
A uniformed mass that are complacently suited.
Have you ever questioned?
Why things are, the way they are.
How one out of eight planets in this solar system,
Facilitates life which revolves around an incandescent star.
How on this one planet both good and evil thrive.
And god's subjects commit sinful, selfish acts just to survive.
How the quantity of printed paper assures your material stability.
And the lack of it limits your social and mental mobility.
How our faith is based in an invisible, omnipotent director.
And tragedies occur despite the presence of this all knowing protector.
Have you ever questioned?
Everything that you know and believe.
And that what ever the human mind can conjure.
It can actually achieve.
Have you ever questioned?
Whether we eternally stay or unpredictably leave.
And these mutual, mortal objectives.
Could have been manipulated to restrict and deceive.
Have you ever questioned?
That as human beings we have not yet discovered our purpose.
That as human beings we have not found our worth yet.
That in this world full of corruption, confusion and despair
It is possible to make the pain hurt less.

The Short Range Certificate is the minimum qualification required by law to control the operation of VHF and VHF Digital Selective Calling (DSC) equipment on any British flagged vessel voluntarily fitted with a radio. This includes both fixed and hand held equipment using International channels.
A radio is an important piece of safety equipment on board and it is vital to understand the correct procedures. Unnecessary transmissions could block out a Mayday distress call.
All new VHF sets are either fitted, or can be interfaced, with DSC allowing calls to specific vessels. If you hold the 'old' VHF licence (pre-1999) you need to upgrade your qualification if you purchase new equipment. This can be done by attending this one-day course or, if no tuition is required, you can enter for direct examination.

Exclusive Coverage
(Page 3)
We are extremely excited to be sharing this video with you not only because it has been eagerly awaited, but also because of the copious amount of work it took to turn this collaboration from idea to reality.
The Limited Edition Botkier+PurseBlog Sasha Duffle is now exclusively available at Saks.com for $635 and also at the Saks flagship store in New York City!
The brand to turn to for exotic skins is Bottega Veneta. I have never been let down by the skins Bottega Veneta chooses for their bags, from leathers to exotics. When the Fall Winter 2010 collection went down the runway, I had a hard time keeping myself from actively drooling on my keyboard.
The Proenza Schouler PS1 bag has made a strong name for itself. With a large following, the design continues to entice fashionistas worldwide. When you have a design that does not need to be edited, the only way to spruce it up is by changing the colors and materials.
Now that Saks officially has announced their participation, we can break the silence and share the extremely exciting news that we've had to keep secret for a few weeks.
The Botkier + PurseBlog Limited Edition Handbag, which was democratically created by our readers in a two phase process, will be exclusively carried and sold both at the Saks 5th Avenue flagship in New York City and Saks.com, starting in July!

Making Sure It Gets Better – And Stays Better
June 13, 2011
The following guest post comes from Meals on Wheels Association of America Assistant VP of Communications & New Media Michael Flynn:
Supporting LGBT senior citizens is an issue of growing importance – even a matter of life or death. Research sponsored by the Meals On Wheels Association of America (MOWAA) found that one in nine of all seniors in America face the threat of hunger and the problem is growing. SAGE estimates there are 1.5 million LGBT seniors in the U.S. and the number could reach almost 3 million by the year 2030.
Once upon a time, these LGBT people were just like you and me. They had a job, maybe a life partner and didn't give much thought to their golden years. But as time passed, many of them not only lost their youth, they also lost their good health and financial resources. The stereotyping of gays with money is actually a myth. In fact, the UCLA Williams Institute found that poverty rates for many lesbian and gay adults are as high or higher than those of heterosexual adults.
I am the Assistant Vice President of Communications & New Media at MOWAA and last year we formed our "Gay Task Force." Our pressing objective is to raise awareness of senior hunger in the LGBT community. It's not easy. Research and even anecdotal evidence that I'm sure you've witnessed reveal that the gay community is guilty of ageism. This subjects our seniors to bias and feelings of worthlessness.
I know we're better than that. When Matthew Shepard was killed, we demanded justice. When we heard stories of young people taking their own lives, we told the world's LGBT youth that "it gets better." It does get better for most of us — until we get old. We must never forget the seniors who forged a path of greater tolerance in America. They rioted at Stonewall. They marched for our rights. Many of those LGBT seniors are going to bed hungry tonight and that is a travesty. Let's stand together to help our hungry seniors before it's too late.

nine major areas of interest. Federal programs supporting earthquake research and engineering are summarized in Appendix A. Finally, a list of acronyms is given in Appendix B.
Some scientists prefer to follow Robert Mallet, who first employed (in 1862) the term "seismology" as a generic name for the study of earthquakes (e.g., B.A. Bolt, Seis. Res. Lett., 68, 714, 1997). However, modern usage has tended to restrict seismology to the study of waves and other motions of the Earth produced by earthquakes, explosions, and other large energy sources (see K. Aki and P.G. Richards, Quantitative Seismology: Theory and Methods, Vol. I, p. 1, W.H. Freeman, San Francisco, 1980). The committee has chosen the less elegant but more ecumenical title of "earthquake science" because it emphasizes the multidisciplinary nature of a field that has drawn practitioners from geology, geodesy, rock mechanics, and the physics of complex systems, in addition to seismologists.
Averaged over the twentieth century, the U.S. population comprised about 6 percent of the global population but suffered only 0.1 percent of the human toll in earthquake disasters. The reasons for the amount of earthquake damage and number of deaths observed in a particular country during a particular earthquake vary, but in general are due to (1) the location of the event relative to population centers, (2) inadequate seismic codes or poor enforcement of them, (3) poor design practice, (4) inferior construction materials, (5) lack of inspection, (6) large inventory of older structures and insufficient funds to retrofit them, and (7) corruption. For example, many of the buildings subjected to the 1999 Turkey earthquakes did not meet strength and detailing requirements in the applicable building codes. In addition, landslides, subsidence, and lateral spreading due to soil failure contributed to the heavy damage observed in the coastal area of the Bay of Izmit (1999 Kocaeli, Turkey, Earthquake Reconnaissance Report, Earthquake Spectra, 16, Suppl. A, December 2000). On the other hand, most buildings affected by the 2001 India earthquake did not comply with the seismic code provisions because the codes are not mandatory (Preliminary Observations on the Origin and Effects of the January 26, 2001, Bhuj (Gujarat, India) Earthquake, EERI Newsletter, 35, April 2001).
Federal Emergency Management Agency, HAZUS®99 Estimated Annualized Earthquake Losses for the United States, FEMA Report 366, Washington, D.C., 33 pp., February 2001.
National Research Council, Estimating Losses from Future Earthquakes, National Academy Press, Washington, D.C., 231 pp., 1989.
Risk Management Solutions, Inc., What if the 1906 Earthquake Strikes Again? A San Francisco Bay Scenario, Menlo Park, Calif., 81 pp., May 1995. Estimated losses are assumed to follow a beta distribution, with the range corresponding to the 50th and 90th percentiles (i.e., the probability that the actual losses will be less than the lower bound is 50 percent, and the probability that the losses will be greater than the upper bound is 10 percent). Direct economic losses do not include expenses for debris removal and emergency relief or indirect losses from firms that depend on earthquake-damaged businesses, lower tax revenues due to reduced business revenues, loss of jobs, or decreased valuations in national and world markets.
Risk Management Solutions, Inc., What if the 1923 Earthquake Strikes Again? A Five-Prefecture Tokyo Region Scenario, Menlo Park, Calif., 97 pp., November 1995. Estimates quoted in the text are in 1994 dollars. The report goes on to speculate: "This [direct] loss represents 44-70% of the gross domestic product of Japan for 1994. The region is a vital link in the world economy, and the ripple effects of its losses would be felt around the world…. To finance the enormous sum needed to begin reconstruction after the scenario earthquake,

As of 2013, the National Science Education Standards have been replaced by the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), available as a print book, free PDF download, and online with our OpenBook platform.
The NGSS offer a detailed description of the key scientific ideas and practices that all students should learn by the time they graduate from high school. The standards are based largely on the 2011 National Research Council report A Framework for K-12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Core Ideas.

Taylor is currently 'giving Harry the benefit of the doubt,' a source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively. Read to find out exactly what that means!
Hell hath no fury like Taylor Swift scorned, so when news broke that her ex-boyfriend was seen having dinner with Kendall Jenner, 18, you'd think she'd immediately start writing a song about it — but you'd be wrong! HollywoodLife.com spoke with a source close to the singer, 23, who told us exactly how Taylor feels about Harry Styles, 19, and his hot new squeeze.
Believe it or not, Taylor isn't the least bit concerned about a potential Harry-Kendall pairing!
"Since she's made to look [like she's dating] every guy in the world, she's giving Harry the benefit of the doubt," our source tells us. "But also, [she's] not really letting it get to her, because she isn't dating Harry. Jealousy isn't setting in. She's playing it by ear."
Wow! We have to give Taylor props on this one; we're not sure we'd be this calm if our ex went public with a younger reality star.
Taylor Swift & Harry Styles: Their AMAs Reunion Revealed
Taylor and Harry haven't been seen together in quite some time, but when the biggest musicians in Hollywood converge Nov. 24 at the 2013 American Music Awards, there's a good chance the exes will reunite. And according to our source, Taylor has a plan.
"She anticipates seeing him at some point backstage," our source says of Taylor. "She's looking forward to talking and being friendly with him when she sees him."
Another surprise from Taylor! It sounds like she's in a really good place with the whole Harry situation, and even if they don't end up getting back together, we're glad the exes can still be friends.
HollywoodLifers, how do YOU feel about Harry potentially dating Kendall? Drop a comment with your thoughts on the Taylor-Harry-Kendall situation below!

I honestly think Taylor should just date a guy her own age who is mature. I mean she obviously dated Harry because he was popular and she needed a new ablum. And yes, Red, was totally awesome! But then again, if it's meant to be then it's meant to be. She just shouldn't be planning to write any new songs in the near future. But other than that, Harry and Kendall are alright. I never imagined this? But I guess it's……an eh for me.

So who is this source you keep talking about? Your butt? Seriously, Taylor has been dissing Harry publicly since they broke up ALMOST A YEAR AGO. There's no "plan" you're just putting all this out there to make Harry look like a bad guy. He can date whoever he wants, he isn't breaking Taylor's heart by doing this. They had a 2 month relationship that ended almost a year ago, there shouldn't be any lingering feelings. You keep talking about these "sexts" Harry's been sending her, I want proof. All you're doing is bring up useless drama to make Harry look like a bad guy. News Flash: There's no way "I Knew You Were Trouble" is about Harry. The timing is way off. "News" medias like you made it out to be that it was about Harry and she went along with it because it caters more to her and Harry's audience and was more timely than her split with Jake, whom that song and entire RED album is about. Do us and you a favor and get some actual information before putting this on the web because you are disgracing the name of journalism.

trololololol? I can't tell anymore...
Serenity Now
Tristana is far from OP. She's an old design that requires a lot of farm before becoming effective (i.e., she's a late game champion). Unlike other carries, none of her abilities scale with AD, and all she has is her AS steroid to increase her DPS. Play her and see how useful you find her ult. There are rare occasions you can use if offensively, but it's often reserved for defensive use because both the damage and utility are limited. I'd love to see an AoE cone on it so that it had a better chance of affecting a group rather than a single target and whoever is directly and exactly lined up behind them.
The ultimate is more of a troll attack than anything else I use it to frustrate people chasing me more than I ever kill someone with it and the rocket jump is just an escape as well. Tristana's real value is she outfarms all the other ad carries and gains range as she levels which is an unpurchasable stat unlike attack speed and damage. She also has the best attack enhancer in the game (+90% attack speed at level 5).
ive been trying her alot lately due to her new skin, obviosly u haven't tried her she if very difficult to play. if u havnt noticed she is very squishy, one good burst and shes gone end of your problems.
Id bet a lot this is a troll post. "so op when knocks them into ryzes ult." Lol wtf.
guys she can hit into ryez's ult for 1 hit kill riot will be fixing here soon i hope
Hi, my name is Tristana, I'm a yordle that goes through puberty mid game every game, where I slowly bleed from all the places I don't want to while generally losing power and suffering massive headaches. Late game please come soon....

Future participles decline in the same way as past participles. To form the future participle, remove the '-m' from the end of the supine, add '-r' and decline as above.
Group | Infinitive | Present participle | English |
1 | amo, amare, amavi, amatum | amaturus, -a, -um | intending to love |
2 | habeo, habere, habui, habitum | habiturus, -a, -um | Intending to have |
3 | duco, ducere, duxi, ductum | ducturus, -a, -um | intending to lead |
capio, capere, cepi, captum | capturus, -a, -um | intending to take | |
4 | servio, servire, servivi, servitum | serviturus, -a, -um | intending to serve |
A future participle describes an action or a state which will take place after the action or state of the main verb. Just like all participles, it must agree with the noun it is describing. A future participle can be translated in a number of ways.
For example:
puella puella (singular, feminine, nominative)
auditurus auditura (singular, feminine, nominative)
