... War Hero Janna.
Such a disappointment.
Shrek is L0ve
Will the janna skin be for people who have high rating in team's or is it only for the gold or higher in solo/duo? I have 1523 as my top 3's ranked team but I don't play alot of Solo/duo
So, wait, if at one point I was at what would be considered silver, but I fell off hard, I only get bronze unless I manage to climb all the way up?
i find this quite upsetting for all the people who worked really hard to get the the elo they are now.
So....what's to stop people from joining a high elo friend's ranked team just to get Platinum/Diamond 3v3 and 5v5 rewards?
[QUOTE[*]Season 2 rewards will be based on the highest rating you achieve between now and the end of the season.
Wait so do they mean like now since the thread was posted?
Question: You say that our current ELO will be replaced with our top ELO, does this mean our S2 top, or is S1 considered as well?
Why is it that our Top Rating is being removed and replaced by our new rating? Why aren't we moved back up to our Top Rating rating and allowed to work from there?
So according to these new rankings, the gold rating cut off is 1500, and my top rating for this season so far has been 1504 and I've since decayed down to 1400 because I haven't played a ranked game since I achieved that rating. With my top rating having been 1504 would that qualify me for the gold rewards for season 2?

Cooking With Caitlin: An asparagus tart recipe for Mother's Day. Because food is love.
CINCINNATI - WCPO is pleased to welcome food blogger Caitlin MacEachen Steininger as a contributor. She has been tickling the food fancy of her family and friends since third grade. Check back each Monday for a new recipe!
Asparagus Tart
There's not a person on the planet more important than Mom, and this recipe just might be the best way to tell her in that food-is-love kind of way. Buttery layers of flaky crust are decorated by crunchy spears of spring asparagus and finished with melty curls of gruyere cheese. Make it your new Mother's Day tradition.
All moms will appreciate the ease with which five ingredients come together in just minutes, and your mom especially will love that you took those minutes to celebrate her.
Top the tart with an egg for breakfast and let the yolk spill into every bite. Complement it with a simple green salad and a tall glass of iced tea for lunch. Or, offer this up as an unexpected appetizer by cutting it into two-bite pieces and drizzling with a homemade hollandaise sauce.
- 1 sheet Frozen Puff Pastry, thawed
- 1 bunch Fresh Asparagus
- 1 Lemon
- Gruyere
- Salt + Pepper
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Place the puff pastry on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
- Using a knife, cut an inch inside the puff pastry to create a smaller square with an inch-thick crust.
- Cut the bottoms off of the asparagus so they will fit perfectly in the square and then place inside the raw puff pastry dough square.
- Next, place in the oven and bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
- When the tart is hot out of the oven, season with salt and pepper and zest the lemon over the top. Sprinkle with grated gruyere cheese.
- Slice and serve while it is still warm.
Prep Time: 10 Minutes Cook Time: 12-15 Minutes Yields: 4 Portions
Tips + Tricks:
If you are making this and serving immediately (which is what I would recommend), use the slender, more tender asparagus because it doesn't need as much time to cook.
If you are going to make the tart in advance and reheat it, however, select thicker stems of asparagus which are less likely to get mushy during the second round of cooking.

Megadeth's Dave Mustaine: Bullies 'Motivated Me to Play the Guitar'
Megadeth great Dave Mustaine reveals that bullying led to him picking up the guitar as a youth.
Megadeth great Dave Mustaine reveals that bullying led to him picking up the guitar as a youth.
Megadeth's Dave Mustaine spoke with Full Metal Jackie about the band's lineup changes and what's currently inspiring him musically.
Dave Mustaine just made a public comment on the status of Megadeth, suggesting that good things are in store for the legendary metal act.
Sally Estabrook, 75, was last seen by her husband at the Pinezanita RV Park & Campground in Julian, Calif. on Oct. 4.
While the phrase "I'll take Megadeth for 200, Alex" may never be heard on Jeopardy, the legendary act's frontman was referenced on the long-running game show.
Ex-Megadeth drummer Nick Menza is taking the high road in responding to Dave Mustaine's comments that his return would be like adding a "rotten tooth."
Megadeth's Dave Mustaine speaks with Full Metal Jackie about touring in other countries, his band's album progress and more.
After months of wondering how it would go over, it can now be said that Dave Mustaine's appearance with the San Diego Symphony was a success. The metal legend joined the Symphony for an evening that featured a mix of classical music staples along with a symphonic rendition of Megadeth's own 'Symphony of Destruction' (seen in the video above).
Here's a brain-scrambler to sink your teeth into -- Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine has been incredibly outspoken in recent years about becoming a born-again Christian. However, despite his statements on Christianity and committing biblical ideology to his personal belief system, Mustaine was recently quoted as saying, "I don't believe in religion."
Breaking news from Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine! According to the legendary thrash musician, the Men's Warehouse shop in Salt Lake City, Utah, has sub-par delivery service. That's right: As of 11:11 PM PST on Dec. 28, 2012, Megadeth tour manager Jim Carroccio was yet to receive a gift certificate that Mustaine ordered from the outlet. Thankfully, Mustaine has documented the case and posted a lengthy description on Megadeth's Facebook page.
Megadeth mastermind Dave Mustaine has been keeping fans updated on the status of their new album by making the most of social media - posting Twitter updates and Facebook postings on all the latest happenings. He most recently posted news yesterday that three new tracks were almost complete.
High On Fire apparently need a little more of my money and of course they'll get it when they reissue their debut album next month.

Anyone else feel like a friggin idiot for not shorting the market prior to the end of the world date? My god I feel stupid. S&P futures down 1.5% and falling.
Can anyone please explain to me why, as result of GOP move, the US dollar is skyrocketing and gold is tanking? The 'flight to safety' makes absolutely no sense. Washington can't figure out how to turn around the debt which frightens global markets and everyone rushes to the $US. Mmmkay..

It does what it does. It never owes an explanation to anyone. It never need to make sense to anyone.

Data Breach Could Test Massachusetts Law 73

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Not law but:
Penalties for Non-compliance
25. Are there fines associated with non-compliance of the PCI Data Security Standards?
Yes. Visa, MasterCard, and Discover Network may impose fines on their member banking institutions when merchants do not comply with PCI Data Security Standards. You are contractually obligated to indemnify and reimburse us, as your acquirer, for such fines. Please note such fines could be significant.
26. Are there fines if cardholder data is compromised?
Yes. If cardholder data that you are responsible for is compromised, you may be subject to the following liabilities and fines associated with non-compliance:
Source: https://www.wellsfargo.com/biz/help/merchant/faqs/pci#Q25 [wellsfargo.com]
You can store card data, but not the CVV2 info. There are requirements about how that data is stored, but CVV2 cannot be stored. Ever. Even encrypted. That's the point. And you don't have to have the CVV2 to process transactions, it just helps prove it isn't a fraudulent transaction. This is to help make the physical card (or whoever holds it) the only source of this information. That's the theory anyway. It rarely works that way in practice, of course.

San Antonio HotelsIf you're traveling to San Antonio, Texas' second biggest city, get ready for an endless array of historic sights, modern art meccas, and cool cowboy culture. This sprawling, bustling city - speckled with idyllic green spaces - offers something for all, whether you're captivated by rustic stone missions or like to let-loose to late-night live music. San Antonio is also a shoppers' paradise, boasting plenty of up-scale mega malls and funky flea markets. Things to seeSan Antonio's most iconic sight is undoubtedly The Alamo, a former Roman Catholic mission and fortress that dates back to 1744. This sun-kissed white-washed building, designed in classic Spanish Colonial architecture, was the site of the riveting Battle of The Alamo in 1836. Today, you can amble around its peaceful grounds and learn about its captivating history. If you want more old-world Spanish architecture, head to the San Antonio Missions National Historic Park. Meanwhile, art enthusiasts should visit the McNay Art Museum, which displays an extensive collection of fine European and American art by big names like Picasso and Georgia O'Keeffe. If you're traveling with kids, check out Sea World San Antonio and watch the sleek-black killer whales dance in the water and jump through the air. Cap off your day at the River Walk - winding footpaths that run alongside San Antonio's glimmering river, lined with boutiques, cafes, and bars. Hotels in San AntonioIf you're looking for cheap hotels in San Antonio, then you're in luck - the city's central area offers plenty of inexpensive 2-star hotels, motels, and inns. Enjoy the air-conditioned guest-rooms, free guest parking, and no-charge in-room WiFi - all for low prices. For something more upscale, stay in a 3-star San Antonio hotel. Here, you'll enjoy glistening, crystal-clear outdoor pools and snazzy bar lounges. If you're after lavish relaxation - including full service spas and fine in-house dining - stay in a 4-star San Antonio hotel. Where to stayAs such a sprawling city, San Antonio can seem difficult to navigate - but all you need to do is get a handle on its distinct neighborhoods. Downtown San Antonio is the city's urban core, a round-the-clock hub of activity. By day, visit its key tourist hotspots, like The Alamo, and the Rivercenter Mall - a vast haven of brand-name stores. By night, check out its bouncing live music bars and sociable restaurants. For a more chilled-out area, head north of Downtown to Alamo Heights, where the city's galleries and green space thrive. Meanwhile, history-buffs will want to stay in Midtown, San Antonio's most historic neighborhood. How to get to San AntonioThe city is well served by San Antonio International Airport, based a mere 9 miles from Downtown. The airport's 3 runways mostly deal with domestic flights - from top US cities like Chicago and New York - and a handful of international flights from Mexico. If you're traveling from overseas, you'll need to catch a quick, hour-long connecting flight at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. From San Antonio Airport, take the Bus Line 5 to Downtown for cheap travel, or hop in a speedy taxi cab. There are also convenient car rentals onsite. Once in the city, the extensive bus network can get you almost anywhere, but taxis are a good option too.

Nomadic students living in rural, remote areas of Niger face extreme poverty and hardship with no chance to continue their studies after primary school, as there is rarely a school to attend. These students find a second chance at the RAIN Learning Center and Dormitory. This project supports girls' dream of attending secondary school with a place to live, study, tuition, meals, and tutoring. Plans include mentoring, a resource center, and more.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
The literacy rate of rural Niger is less than 15%, and girls especially face daunting challenges to staying in school, dropping out before the 4th grade. Most desert rural children are nomadic and must live at school while their parents search for pastureland. Their communities are hundreds of miles away from secondary schools, so even if a child successfully graduates primary school there is no opportunity to go on. Extreme poverty and hardships from droughts compound obstacles to education.
How will this project solve this problem?
Rural students find a second chance at our learning center. Located in the Niger city of Agadez, the center and dormitory houses primarily female students. They live, study and receive tuition, meals, and tutoring. Now in its first year, RAIN plans to bring in more underserved elementary students from remote communities each year. Plans include a mentoring program, practical skills training, a resource center and more.
Potential Long Term Impact
Investing in a girl's future is investing in the world's future. Girls that stay in school delay marraige, have fewer children and earn higher incomes. The rural poor of Niger are marginalized, but with more educated citizens will be more empowered. As RAIN expands the center and is able to recruit increasing numbers of students, we expect to set a new precedent in Niger and inspire the government as well as other NGO's to open similar centers for nomadic children.

What causes nasal allergies?
The most likely culprits are:
- Dust mites: microscopic organisms that thrive on human skin flakes. Nearly 85 percent of allergy sufferers are allergic to dust mites.
- Animal dander, those white, flaky specks made up of skin and hair shed by cats, dogs, and other furry animals.
- Pollen, particularly from trees, grasses, and weeds.
- Mold: fungi found in wet, damp places such as bathrooms and basements or outdoors in humid climates.
Some children are allergic to down and feather pillows or wool blankets. And while most experts don't think children can be allergic to tobacco smoke, it can certainly make their allergic symptoms worse.
10 signs that your child has allergies, not a cold
Because the symptoms of nasal allergies are much like cold symptoms – runny nose, watery eyes, cough, nasal congestion, sneezing – it can be tough to tell the difference. There are some telltale signs of allergies, though.
Ask yourself the following questions:
- Does it seem like your child always has a cold? Colds usually wind down in a week to ten days; allergies don't.
- Is your child's nose continually stuffy or running?
- Is she constantly wiggling, wiping, or pushing her nose up in what doctors call the allergic salute?
- Is the mucus that drains from her nose clear and thin (as opposed to yellow or greenish and thick)?
- Does she seem to sneeze a lot?
- Are her eyes itchy, red, and watery?
- Does the skin under her eyes look dark or purple or blue – what doctors call allergic shiners?
- Does she breathe through her mouth?
- Does she have a persistent dry cough?
- Is her skin irritated or broken out in an itchy red rash?
If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, there's a good chance your child is allergic to something in her environment. Kids with nasal allergies are also more prone to ear infections, asthma, and sinus infections.
Are allergies inherited?
A child inherits the tendency to be allergic but not necessarily the specific allergies.
For example, if one of your child's biological parents has hay fever or pet allergies, there's a 40 to 50 percent chance your child will have some sort of allergy as well. That probability jumps to 75 to 80 percent when both biological parents have allergies.
Family members may differ widely in the kinds of things they're allergic to.

The cover for the upcoming book It's a New World, Charlie Brown has been changed. It is now:
when it was previously shown as:
The UK is getting some more titles not available on these shores… unless you order them shipped here, as these links will do.
It's been a while since we got a new aimed-at-the-school-library biography of Schulz. That drought ends in August with Charles Schulz, part of the Blastoff Readers line, written by Kari Schuetz. This Level 4 reader is now available for preorder.
The previously-mentioned Peanuts Off-Model book is now being listed as Peanuts: A Tribute to Charles M. Schulz. Folks doing their own takes on Schulz's characters include the very Peanuts-influenced Matt Groening (creator of The Simpsons), Raina Telgemeier (I've been reading some of her best-selling YA graphic novels lately, like Smile and Drama), and Jeffrey Brown (who has been doing some fun kids takes on Star Wars). Amazon is not listing this yet; I'll give you a link when they do.
I finally received the originally-supposed-to-come-in-January Peanuts Quilted Celebrations, a book with CD-ROM of vital files for quilting your own Peanuts materials. It has instructions for 10 different items (with an eleventh on the disk), mostly holiday items with a somewhat odd distribution (two items for St. Patty's Day, only one for Christmas… well, the author's name is "Kathleen Shea", so perhaps a little more interest than average in the Irish celebration is understandable!)
The items are attractive. Working in this fixed medium, they don't really capture Schulz's line weight… which is probably why my favorite item in the group is the one done as a silhouette, a placemat for Halloween.
I'm not a quilter. My dear mother was, but I never tried to learn from her, so I cannot judge the quality of the instructions here. Still, it looks like this 96-page full-color paperback is a good item for those who have overlapping interest in Peanuts and quilting, and I suspect there's at least a couple of you in my audience!

This was the worst book I have ever listened to and of course, the worst book I have listened to of Jodi Piccoult. Her facts were all wrong, especially on geography and her story line was completely unrealistic. I can't believe she went on to write other books that are acceptable. I can't stress strongly enough how much I disliked this book.
"Great Narration"
This is a wonderful book to listen to with such eloquent southern voices telling the story. It is a slice of history from the south that lets us know how far we have come in this country today. Three brave women surrounded by characters that we love and others we hate.

Who we are
Ernie Svenson is a New Orleans commercial litigator who began practicing law dependent on secretaries and paralegals to manage bulky paper files. Then he discovered how to leverage technology to create a paperless law practice.
In 2006, Ernie left a well-respected 50-lawyer firm to start a Ninja-efficient, solo practice. As a nationally recognized speaker, author, and blogger, he's helped hundreds of other lawyers in small firms use technology to attract better clients, cut overhead, boost profits, and overpower opponents—even if their computer skills are limited to reading emails.
Andrew Legrand went straight out of law school into a solo practice, specifically a virtual law firm. He's represented local businesses, and national ones —always making strategic use of technology to work smarter and do a better job.
Andrew has gained media attention from Forbes, and Business Insider. He recently joined forces with another innovative lawyer to form SperaLaw, to build his vision of a modern law firm.
Adriana Linares is the founder of LawTech Partners, a company that offers legal technology training and consulting. What does that mean, exactly?
Well, as one New Orleans managing partner put it, when she walks out of a law firm "lawyers are functioning more efficiently… staff begin performing higher functions… and everyone is happier." In other words, she's a "technology whisperer" who gets amazing results, quickly.
Adriana is also part of the Legal Talk Network, where she hosts a popular legal podcast called New Solo. When she's not podcasting or tech-whispering, she helps the American Bar Association, and other bar associations, through speaking and consulting. Her #1 mission is to help lawyers upgrade their law practices in the smoothest and least stressful manner.
Craig Bayer is the founder of Optiable, which helps small law firms with practice management software such as Amicus Attorney, Clio, Worldox, TimeMatters, and PCLaw as well as cloud services such as NetDocuments, Dropbox, and Google Apps. He's been doing law-related tech consulting for over ten years, and has worked with hundreds of law firms.

"ONE NIGHT IN BANGKOK..." Bangkok by LysDor
Bangkok Travel Guide: 10,535 reviews and 23,671 photos
...or maybe two! I would say it is the average time needed for a stay in Bangkok.
A song came into my mind. It is from the musical "Chess" and you might know it: "One Night In Bangkok". Some of the words just remind me how one could feel while staying in this extraordinary city:
"One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
A little flesh, a little history
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me.
My very first visit to the City of Angels was in 1975. I remember the excitement of going in a faraway country and not knowing what was to come. Until then I had only travelled to nearby European countries.
The longhaul flight was awesome. Before landing breakfast was served - there was a red rose on the tray - and I watched the sun rising from behind the Himalayas. What a view!
When the aircraft door opened and I stepped out - I encountered my first shock - the air was so HOT and HUMID something I had never experienced before!
I have returned many times to Thailand, since. I always stay only a couple of nights in Bangkok before going to a resort: Phuket, Hua Hin. The city is so polluted and has a 24H life rythm in a total chaos that is hard for anyone not accustomed to it to bear it for a very long time!
Exceptionnally my first visit lasted one week because I planned and wanted to see all and every Buddhas and Temples in Bangkok!

National Call 811-Before-You-Dig Day Reminds Residents to Exercise Safe Digging Practices
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
CHICAGO, IL. August 11 is National Call 8-1-1 Before-You-Dig Day. Peoples Gas reminds residents planning late summer landscaping projects to call the Joint Utility Locating Information for Excavators (JULIE) 8-1-1 Hotline at least 48 hours before digging to prevent unnecessary damage to underground facilities.
JULIE is a not-for-profit corporation that provides contractors, excavators, homeowners and others a free service through a single toll-free number, 8-1-1 or (800) 892-0123 to call for the locating and marking of underground facilities. The federally mandated national 8-1-1 Call Before You Dig hotline number was created to help protect people from unintentionally damaging underground utility lines while digging.
"It's important for homeowners and contractors to understand where the underground utilities are located before excavating for their own safety and others in the area," said John Just, general manager, Field Operations. "The 8-1-1 service provides an easy and free way to learn where these facilities are prior to starting a project."
Natural gas and electric lines are buried underneath the property and could be in striking distance, even for a simple project like erecting a tent for a holiday party. Its important that contractors, workers, residents and anyone planning work that requires digging to follow pipeline safety procedures and be aware of safe digging practices.
Illinois law requires that people call 8-1-1 before beginning any project that requires digging. Projects like landscaping yard areas, installing a mailbox, building a deck or patio are among the types of projects that require a call to 8-1-1. Location specialists will come to the home or business to locate, and mark all underground utility services in the area free of charge.
PGL has approximately 4,000 miles of underground distribution and transportation natural gas pipeline in the city of Chicago. Calling 8-1-1 or DIGGERS at (312) 744-7000 for City of Chicago residents well in advance to have locates completed, will help ensure you can start your summer projects safely. People can start projects safely as planned and ensure there are no disruptions to electric or natural gas service, possibly to entire neighborhoods. A normal locate request requires 48 hours/two business days notice (excluding weekends and holidays). Work must begin within 14 days from the time of the request and is good for 28 days. For more information access the utility's pipeline safety materials.News Source : National Call 811-Before-You-Dig Day Reminds Residents to Exercise Safe Digging Practices

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Councillors kill Shindico deals
Committee cancels land swap and management contract
In a pair of moves affecting one of Winnipeg's largest real estate companies, city councillors torpedoed a proposed land swap with Shindico Realty and also cancelled the firm's contract to manage a downtown office tower.
During a three-hour meeting Tuesday, council's property committee effectively killed a three-for-one land swap that sparked 21/2 months of political havoc at city hall.
The deal on the table, negotiated initially by fire-paramedic Chief Reid Douglas, called for the city to acquire the Taylor Avenue site of the new fire-paramedic Station No. 12 from Shindico in exchange for the old Station No. 12 on Grosvenor Avenue, the soon-to-be-decommissioned Station No. 11 on Berry Street and a vacant parcel of city land on Mulvey Avenue East in Fort Rouge.
The proposed swap has been on hold since Mayor Sam Katz ordered a review of the city's fire-paramedic station replacement program in September. While that review has yet to start, the deal effectively died when the property committee directed city staff to try to buy the Taylor Avenue land from Shindico.
"What we're trying to do here is end the uncertainty associated with building a fire hall on land we don't own," committee chairman Jeff Browaty (North Kildonan) said Tuesday.
The committee vote, which does not require council approval, calls for both the city and Shindico to obtain independent market value appraisals of the Taylor land. If the two parties wind up with a price within 10 per cent of each other, the midpoint between the two estimates will be the sale price.
If the spread between the two estimates is more than 10 per cent, an independent appraiser will decide between the two values. Council will then be asked to approve the final sale price.
The plan will only proceed if Shindico agrees to it. An official with the company declined to comment.
Transcona Coun. Russ Wyatt said he hopes Shindico will find the plan acceptable, adding he believes property director Barry Thorgrimson has spoken to the firm.
If Shindico does not wish to negotiate, the city has the option of expropriating the land, Browaty said.
"I think this will bring some closure to the issue," he said of the purchase plan, adding he remains eager to see the results of the fire-paramedic review, which will examine the processes that led to the land-swap proposal.
Browaty, Wyatt and Couns. Mike Pagtakhan (Point Douglas) and Grant Nordman (St. Charles) also voted to declare the two old fire-paramedic stations and the Mulvey land surplus to the city's needs. Pending council approval, all three properties will be sold, with the proceeds winding up in the city's land operating reserve.
St. James-Brooklands Coun. Scott Fielding, council's new protection chairman, said he approves of the property committee decision because the city isn't going to tear down the new Station No. 12 on Taylor Avenue.
But River Heights Coun. John Orlikow, whose ward includes Station No. 12, said he's concerned the property committee has acted arbitrarily and aggressively.
"Who is going to want to work with the city if we do this kind of stuff?" asked Orlikow, a vocal critic of the land swap. "We have to work in an open and transparent manner, and bullying people is not the way to go about this."
Earlier in the same meeting, council's property committee also voted to strip Shindico of its contract to manage the 11-storey tower portion of the former Canada Post building on Graham Avenue, acquired by the city in 2009.
Earlier this fall, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation complained the contract was awarded under a search that did not explicitly identify property-management services. The contract was cancelled to allow other firms a chance to bid on the work, Browaty said.
Shindico will be given 90 days notice of the cancellation and a new request for proposals will be issued, Thorgrimson said. Council has also been asked to declare the tower surplus, as the city plans to sell it after the Winnipeg Police Service moves into new headquarters in the warehouse portion of the building in 2014.
A separate effort by Wyatt to strip Shindico of a contract to manage the Dominion Bridge site on Dublin Avenue failed in a hung vote. Instead, the committee voted to ask Thorgrimson's staff to prepare a report explaining why the land has not been sold since the city acquired it in a 2008 tax sale.

U.S. Politics Publications
U.S. Ambassadors to Mexico: The Relationship Through Their EyesFeb 26, 2013
What emerges in this publication is a nuanced portrait of the individuals who have been tasked with serving as the key link of the U.S. government with Mexico. Dolia Estévez's effort to bring their memories and their perspectives to light helps illuminate a little known part of the political relationship between the two countries. It also chronicles a changing relationship between these countries from "distant neighbors" to "intimate strangers," who are deeply dependent on one another and yet are only still getting to know one another well enough to manage the relationship. more
Getting Back to Legislating: Reflections of a Congressional Working GroupFeb 19, 2013
A group of former Members of Congress, staff and scholars has urged Congress to return to a culture of legislating and abandon the election centered culture that has produced hyper-partisanship and gridlock. The experts suggest the transformation will not require major changes in rules and procedures, but rather leadership-led encouragement of a more deliberative legislative process in committees and on the floor. more
How Should America Respond to Economic Opportunities in Africa?Feb 07, 2013
U.S. policy toward Africa has been on autopilot for much of the past four years, following a laundry list of good intentions that established priorities for Africa's well-being and U.S. security interests. However, a truly sustainable and forward-looking U.S. policy toward Africa should refocus attention on Africa's opportunity as an economic powerhouse of the future, a strategy that combines both domestic self-interest and an opportunity to help Africa move forward. more

Dealing with the Iranian Nuclear ChallengeNov 30, 2012
Although Iran's mastery of the nuclear fuel cycle presents an inherent option for creating a bomb, the Tehran regime has no urgent incentive to build nuclear weapons. Current U.S. policy, which emphasizes coercive sanctions and diplomatic isolation to compel Iran to comply with its obligations under the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT), would fall squarely under the rubric of containment, even as the term has been eschewed and delegitimized in the U.S. policy debate. As long as Iran does not overtly cross the U.S. "red line" of weaponization, U.S. policy will likely remain containment in form, if not in name. more
Manufacturing MattersNov 28, 2012

The U.S. innovation system has enormous strengths, including public and private support for research and development, the world's best university system, and an entrepreneurial risk-taking culture. But those elements of the system now face several domestic and international challenges. The United States will need to maintain support for research and development (R&D), improve its education system, and learn from best practices around the world if it is to compete in the 21st century. more

The costly Frigidaire Gallery 30-Inch Electric Range may offer solid performance and handsome styling but lacks convection, making the less expensive yet evenly matched GE JB650SFSS a better buy.
The Frigidaire Professional toasts as evenly as any model we tested. It takes the guesswork out of getting your bread to the level of brownness you desire.
Though not a bad fridge, the FGHB2866PF doesn't do enough to keep up with the competition, or to set itself apart from cheaper models.
We expect more from a $99 slow cooker, and so should you.There are smarter upgrades than this, and they don't cost quite as much.
The Frigidaire Professional 6-Slice Convection Toaster Oven's stainless steel finish and LCD screen may draw you in, but a major design flaw makes this toaster oven little more than a pretty face.
For $899 the Frigidaire Gallery Electric Range has the chops to cook well and look good doing it. Standing 30 inches wide, this slide-in model is also compact enough to shoehorn into tight kitchens.
This mid-range model looks the part of a classy kitchen upgrade, but how does it perform?
Flaunting modern stainless steel construction and sturdy design, Frigidaire's re-tooled Professional appliance line is built to tempt the top chef crowd for less.
How does a toaster come to cost $100? We take a look at the features of the Frigidaire 4-Slice Wide Slots Toaster.
Somehow, this ordinary toaster makes a solid case for its lofty price.

AUGUSTA, Ga. Some of the newest therapies in the war on cancer remove the brakes cancer puts on the immune system, Georgia Health Sciences University researchers report.
These immunotherapies, such as CTLA4, strengthen the immune system's attack on cancer by keeping apart two proteins that prevent key immune cells called T cells from activating.
Research featured on the cover of the Journal of Immunology suggests that these therapies also keep tumors from benefitting from IDO, an enzyme used by fetuses and tumors alike to suppress the immune response.
"This is an alternative way of avoiding the immune system brakes," said Dr. Andrew Mellor, Director of the GHSU Immunotherapy Center and the study's corresponding author. "These findings give us better insight into how cancer immunotherapy works so in the future we can better minimize the side effects and maximize the effect we want which is anti-tumor."
Mellor and Dr. David Munn, who leads the Cancer Immunotherapy Program in the GHSU Cancer Center and co-authored the study, led a research team that in 1998 identified IDO's role in preventing a mother's immune system from rejecting a fetus. They subsequently learned that tumors pirate the mechanism. The university has patented technologies to inhibit IDO, which are currently in clinical trials funded by the National Cancer Institute and corporate partners. "Tumors are really good at turning on IDO and after the cancer is found it becomes important to turn it off," Mellor said.
The study also provides new insight into cancer treatment vaccines that have worked well in the laboratory but are less successful in patients, Mellor said.
It suggests that the quantity of bacterial mimics, which get the attention of the immune system, is pivotal. Mellor and his colleagues showed in 2005 that the bacterial mimic CpG-ODNs can actually activate IDO. The new study confirmed that a lower dose avoided stimulating IDO

Homemade Birdbaths
love_the_yard(z9A Jax FL)March 13, 2011
Thought you might like to see the link below in the Florida Gardening forum on homemade birdbaths.
Here is a link that might be useful: Homemade Birdbaths
love_the_yard(z9A Jax FL)
I got the blue birdbath bowl at Garden Ridge ($9.99). Others have made the birdbath using glazed saucers that you purchase separately for glazed pots - also available at Garden Ridge - and probably lots of other places. Garden Ridge has them in a variety of colors and sizes, ranging from $7.99 to $14.99 (I think).

Google Gadgets for Linux are simple HTML and JavaScript applications that can be embedded in web pages and other applications. By all accounts, Gadget support for Linux was a major undertaking for the Google team as it is an entire platform for mini applications.
