The growth hormone/insulin like growth factor-I (GH/IGF-I) system occupies a well-known hormonal role and its effects, mainly anabolic and insulin-sensitizing, are mediated through endocrine as well as paracrine/autocrine mechanisms. This system includes the binding proteins, namely growth hormone binding proteins and Insulin-like growth factor I binding proteins (IGFBPs). As expected, ...

It is often recommended that heavier training intensities (∼70%-80% of maximal strength) be lifted to maximize muscle growth. However, we have reported that intensities as low as 30% of maximum strength, when lifted to volitional fatigue, are equally effective at stimulating muscle protein synthesis rates during resistance exercise recovery. This ...

Middleton named Henrico police chief
Henrico County will have a new police chief April 9, but he's no stranger to the division. Lt. Col. Doug Middleton will replace retiring Chief Col. Henry Stanley, Henrico County Manager Virgil Hazelett announced today. Middleton, a 38-year veteran of Henrico Police who has been serving as deputy chief since 1998, will assume command of the nationally acclaimed force with 800 personnel, including more than 600 sworn officers, and a total annual budget of more than $65 million. Middleton was chosen from a field of 37 candidates from 18 states who applied for the position. "Dep. Chief Middleton has had a long and impressive career in Henrico," Hazelett said. "He is a strong leader and communicator and readily accepts challenges. I look forward to him continuing his dedication and service to Henrico County as our chief of police." Middleton joined Henrico Police as a patrol officer in November 1972, rising through the ranks to become captain in 1994 and major in 1995 before being appointed deputy chief. His service includes stints in the Special Action Force, Police Personnel, Inspectional Services, Police Planning, Communications and Records and as a pilot in the Aviation Unit. A graduate of Henrico's Hermitage High School, Middleton earned a bachelor's degree from St. Paul's College. He is a graduate of the FBI National Academy, the Senior Management Institute for Police at Harvard University, the Police Executive Leadership School at the University of Richmond and the Administrative Officers Course of the Southern Police Institute at the University of Louisville. A native of Tocoma Park, Md., Middleton is a veteran of the U.S. Army. He received numerous combat decorations for his service in the Vietnam War, including the permanent award of Flight Wings, two Bronze Stars and 14 awards of the Air Medal for Combat Missions. |

Iraq War veteran Matt Haviland was the guy in the Coke bottle glasses.
In three tours with the Weapons Company of the 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines, the Laguna Niguel resident wore them constantly, his vision too poor to go without. The desert sand usually proved too irritating for contact lenses.
He had the glasses on in 2005 as he and several other Marines were on their way to Haditha, northwest of Baghdad, to deliver heaters to residents before winter set in. Suddenly a blast from an improvised explosive device threw him from the turret of the 7-ton military transport he was riding in.
Haviland landed on his back. Several of his fellow Marines in the back of the truck were burned, but all survived, he said. If they had been in a smaller vehicle, they wouldn't have been so lucky, he added.
"It jacked up my back pretty good," he said of the fall. The resulting bulging disc was uncomfortable as he went through a third and final tour in 2007 and later as he moved to Laguna Niguel and started working two jobs. It still is.
By day, he works for Laguna Tools in Irvine, which makes woodworking machinery. At night, he heads to Swallow's Inn in San Juan Capistrano to work at the bar.
But one problem no longer plagues him: the poor eyesight that required the thick glasses.
Last month, Newport Beach doctor Gregg Feinerman gave Haviland Lasik eye surgery free of charge. Haviland said it has already made a difference.
He had planned to hold off on eye surgery because money is tight. It seemed like a small issue compared with that of his girlfriend, Lacy Campbell, who recently had brain surgery. She was in a car accident several years ago that caused cysts to form in her sinuses, and they gradually encroached on her brain, he said.
The cysts created pockets of pressure, making for "incapacitating migraines and light sensitivity," he said. "The last six months (for her), it was just unbearable."
So surgery for his eyes wasn't particularly high on his priority list. He knew he could wait until later in the year, when perhaps he would have saved more money.
But Haviland earlier had called Feinerman's office to inquire about a Groupon deal he had seen. "It turns out after talking to him we heard about his truck getting blown up by an IED," Feinerman said. "Now he has multiple medical bills from chronic back (issues) and his girlfriend's brain surgery.
"It looked like a guy who really gave back to his community."
Feinerman found Haviland to be a "big, bear-hug kind of guy" and a good candidate for the nonprofit Operation Insight he started in 2005 to give vision correction to needy patients. The program has taken Feinerman to Vietnam, where he performed hundreds of surgeries for poverty-stricken residents. In January, he helped Austin Seedman, a deaf 22-year-old with Wolfram syndrome, clear up his vision. Seedman's eyesight is crucial for his ability to read lips and communicate.
In Haviland's case, "right from the get-go, the close-up vision was great," Haviland said more than a week after his laser-assisted eye procedure. His long-distance vision continues to get better day by day, he said. But what's most improved is his night vision, he said – all-important for his commutes to and from jobs.
The good news keeps coming. It appears Campbell's recent surgery might be the last one she'll need, Haviland said, and she was cleared to go back to work.
"It was nice, because it's been a trying year," Haviland said. "We're getting by."

Carolina Herrera Spring 2013 | Runway
Carolina Herrera Spring 2013
For a collection that aspires to lightness and fluidity above all else, Carolina Herrera's Spring 2013 offering makes no shortage of colorful and graphic statements. Herrera created airy elegance directly with her choice of fabrics: chiffon, tulle, organza, and other featherweight materials flutter prettily around the legs of many of the designer's floor-length gowns and expose demure amounts of skin in others. Perhaps that's why her colorblocked pieces and a selection of bright orange dresses and other garments stood out among the mostly baby-blue and beige collection. High-waisted shorts, which conjured thoughts of very elegant '40s pinup girls, paired nicely with gauzy tops and printed shirts. For all their retro appeal, though, they were the edgiest pieces in the collection.

The French government is working on a tax plan to charge online advertising revenue generated from actions within their country, Clickz reported Friday. Just how they would determine the numbers will be interesting to see.
" A report presented to the French government this week suggests that each time an ad is clicked, online firms should be charged a levy of between one and two percent of the revenue generated, which would then be used to compensate media and content owners in other sectors, such as recorded music or print media, for example.
The proposal, commissioned by the government, was written by former music executive Patrick Zelnik, former minister Jacques Toubon, and the president of Sotheby's France, Guillaume Cerutti. It singles out a number of major online ad firms including Yahoo, Microsoft, and search giant Google. According to the Guardian, Toubon told the Libération newspaper in France the aim of the proposal was to curb "the limitless enrichment" of the world's leading internet players," ClickZ stated.
The scope seems to be broader than PPC generated revenue and considering people spend money to get placement in the organic results and make money from the traffic it could become a tax on all search engine activity.
As SitePoint asks "how can the Government monitor sponsored links when they are clicked by French users? ISPs could be forced to implement link monitoring software but that's a huge and costly undertaking. In addition, how would revenue amounts be associated with each link? Click costs can vary from a fraction of a cent to hundreds of dollars."
Forcing ISPs to monitor the clicks and then determining if income was generated would be hard and then getting companies that have no offices or servers in France would create even more challenges.

Amplitude and chirp characterization of high-power laser pulses in the 5-fs regime
Optics Letters, Vol. 24, Issue 4, pp. 247-249 (1999)
Acrobat PDF (262 KB)
Frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG) based on second-harmonic generation has been demonstrated to be capable of high-fidelity measurement of the electric-field envelope and of the temporal evolution of the instantaneous carrier frequency of 0.1-TW 5-fs pulses without the need for any correction for systematic experimental errors. At a 1-kHz repetition rate, pulse energies of a few microjoules are sufficient for reliable FROG characterization of pulses with durations down to the single-cycle regime. The results obtained reveal that carefully designed hollow-fiber chirped-mirror compressors are able to deliver high-power sub-10-fs pulses with a smooth Gaussianlike leading edge that has an intensity contrast of ≈10-2 .

The Edmonton Oilers skated step-for-step with the lineup of the reigning Western Conference Champions for nearly the entire game, but three third-period goals by the Canucks handed the Oilers a 4-1 loss to conclude the 2011 NHL pre-season schedule.
The Oilers came out strong, pressuring the Canucks 'D' and earning three separate odd-man rush opportunities only six minutes in. The shooters elected to keep each time, but Canucks 'tender Roberto Luongo turned them all away with ease.
With 12:44 remaining, a strong push by the home side enabled the Canucks to pull even in shots and draw a power-play chance when lumbering rearguard Andy Sutton was assessed a hooking minor.
Strong penalty-killing and three saves from Nikolai Khabibulin helped preserve the scoreless tie passed the period's 10-minute mark.
The Canucks went back to the man-avantage when Corey Potter was charged for hooking at 12:08. With only 18 seconds remaining in the chance, Vancouver went up 1-0. Dan Hamhuis' rocket was redirected home by Cody Hodgson beside a sprawling Lennart Petrell between the hash-marks.
A late-period cross-checking minor to Tom Gilbert put the Canucks back on the power-play, but the Oilers responded well, surviving the chance without allowing another Vancouver attempt.
With 20 minutes in the books, the Canucks held a 1-0 lead and were up 11-8 on the shot clock.
The Oilers pulled to within one shot of the Canucks' tally before being awarded a power-play at 4:18; Alex Edler was assessed a boarding minor. Edmonton was quick to strike, drawing even 50 seconds later when a chaotic goal-mouth scramble allowed the Oilers to equalize. With help from Ryan Smyth, No. 91 bounced home a rebound to make it a 1-1 game.
With 12:11 on the clock, bad blood boiled over. Vancouver's Victor Oreskovich lined up and crushed Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, provoking a chaotic Oilers response. Theo Peckham stepped in, pounding Canucks centre Max Lapierre with crushing blows in a lengthy and highly-spirited tilt.
In total, 16 minutes in penalties were assessed, including a charging minor to Oreskovich.
At 13:40, searching for the match's go-ahead marker, the Oilers went back to the power-play when Vancouver's Alex Edler was assessed a minor for hitting to the head. Edmonton did scoop a 20-18 edge in shots, but were unable to orchestrate the game's 2-1 tally.
The Oilers were awarded another late-period power-play when Mikael Samuelsson went off for slashing, but the 1-1 score could not be broken. With 40 minutes expired, Edmonton held a 24-19 shot lead.
An early-period hooking call, 50 seconds in, on Ryan Smyth put Vancouver back on the advantage, but the Oilers erased the opportunity with a smoothly-run PK.
Moments later at 5:36, the Canucks were able to bulge the twine. Jannik Hansen picked up the loose puck in the slot, snapping a missle bar-in, blocker-side on Khabibulin to restore his team's one-goal lead.
The Oilers were presented with another two power-play chances late in the third, but were unable to even the score.
Just as the Oilers looked to replace Khabibulin with an extra-attacker in the waning moments, Mikael Samuelsson snapped the puck past the veteran netminder, putting his team up 3-1 at 19:15. An empty-net tally by Cody Hodgson with only 1.2 seconds to play sealed a 4-1 Canucks victory.

NBC To Show Tiger During Match Play Airings Despite Early Ouster
Published February 27, 2009
With his loss Thursday in the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, golfer Tiger Woods will not be playing Saturday and Sunday during "live network coverage of the event, but he'll still be prominent on NBC," according to Diane Pucin of the L.A. TIMES. NBC golf producer Tommy Roy said, "We'll have to deal with showing what happened to Tiger because this has gone from being a golf tournament to a news event. Our weekend telecast will have to deal with showing what happened to Tiger. It will be our duty" (L.A. TIMES, 2/27). But in San Diego, Jay Posner writes the "concern -- particularly if Phil Mickelson doesn't reach the Final Four -- is that NBC will continue to focus on Woods." Posner: "I hope when [Roy] says NBC will 'document' what happened to Woods, he's talking about a recap of just a few minutes. Anyone interested in Woods either found a way to watch his two matches on Golf Channel or PGATour.com ... or saw plenty of highlights on ESPN or any other outlet. Come midday tomorrow, nearly 48 hours after Woods' defeat, I think the last thing viewers want to see is an extended discussion of Tiger" (SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE, 2/27).
MISSED OPPORTUNITY: In Houston, David Barron notes NBC will telecast the tournament from 2:00-6:00pm ET Saturday and Sunday, and the "chances for a noteworthy rating likely vanished into the ether with Woods' elimination" (HOUSTON CHRONICLE, 2/27). In Ft. Worth, Ray Buck writes, "Just when the PGA Tour became relevant again, NBC lost its weekend chance to reel in viewers" (FT. WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM, 2/27). In Oakland, Cam Inman writes Tiger's elimination is "bad news for NBC, which now may as well show re-runs of 'Alf' in its weekend afternoon timeslots if it hopes to draw any ratings" (OAKLAND TRIBUNE, 2/27). In California, Jim Carlisle: "The bailout was nice while it lasted, but no more." NBC this week "gets nothing from Woods' comeback" (VENTURA COUNTY STAR, 2/27). In N.Y., George Willis writes Woods exits the tournament "taking with him the potential weekend television ratings boost and economic lift the PGA Tour had hoped he would bring" (N.Y. POST, 2/27). But in Albany, Pete Dougherty writes, "This week's blip aside, rest assured the networks are giddy that Woods is back" (Albany TIMES UNION, 2/27).
TIGER BOOM: Woods' return to competition Wednesday resulted in record Web traffic numbers on PGATour.com. The site set a single-day record of 2,504,820 videos streamed for its coverage of the Match Play event. It also earned more than 1,024,062 unique users, the largest ever on a non-major day and the second largest overall behind 1.5 million during the Woods-Rocco Mediate U.S. Open playoff on June 16, 2008. The site's 23,592,077 page views were up 120% from the opening round of the '08 Accenture Match Play event, which Woods won (THE DAILY).
OFF THE FAIRWAY: In Arizona, Greg Hansen writes Golf Channel's "all-Tiger, all-the-time coverage" of the tournament "hasn't been complicated." When the net cut to commercial "you'd see a panoramic view of cacti," and the production "came off like those long-ago 'Shell's Wonderful World of Golf' productions when [golfers Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus] would be playing a made-for-TV twosome in some exotic setting." Meanwhile, the tournament, and "all of those that find themselves without Tiger, should have a simple fall-back plan: Get Mickelson on stage and hope he doesn't goof it up" (ARIZONA DAILY STAR, 2/27). SI.com's Gary Van Sickle wrote under the header, "We Can Live Without Tiger Woods This Weekend At Match Play." Woods' elimination was "a brick wall that stopped the wave of Tigermania that had been almost out of control this week in the Arizona desert." But "this isn't the time to bemoan the loss of Woods and write off the tournament," as instead it is "a time to celebrate" golfer Tim Clark's accomplishment in defeating Woods (GOLF.com, 2/26).

Written Answers - School Completion Programme.Tuesday, 4 November 2008 |
Dáil Eireann Debate
120. Deputy Kathleen Lynch asked the Minister for Education and Science his views on reversing the 3% payroll cut directive in regard to the school completion programme in view of the fact that this provides vital support to school children in disadvantaged areas; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38008/08]
[879]Minister of State at the Department of Education and Science (Deputy Seán Haughey): As the Deputy will be aware, the Education budget for 2009 has been increased by some €302 million, which is a real achievement in the current economic climate. Notwithstanding this, a number of tough and difficult decisions have had to be taken, which have seen a number of spending cuts across the education sector.
My Department notified all 124 school completion projects in August last that, pursuant to a Government decision in response to the deterioration in public finances, they would be required to reduce their payroll bill by 3% in 2009 through all appropriate measures identified by local management in the light of local circumstances.
Projects were advised that they had the authority to manage how the savings are to be achieved. This is to facilitate projects in their efforts to ensure that these necessary steps will be applied in such a manner as to minimise their effect on young people targeted and to prioritise those activities which are found to be of most value in supporting the young people concerned.
In implementing this decision local Managers will have an opportunity to consider measures which might include the control of premium pay, the management of existing or future vacancies, the organisation of work processes and the levels at which work is carried out, as well as control of numbers through recruitment and other measures.
This requirement will not have a universal effect on all 124 projects, as projects vary in size, number of schools involved and the number and status of personnel employed and the types of interventions in place.
It is envisaged that the savings requested, will lead to rationalisation, with more efficient and cost effective measures being implemented. In this way, it is not expected that there will be any significant diminution of front-lines services.

picked up a cheap a4 sline last night, i know i should have looked in the day but it aint that bad really . managed to acquire a 58 plate sline with full leather and satnav , which for the cash i paid i reckon is pretty rare. looked at it in the dark (really bad idea) anyway found it needs front bumper painting (stone chips and scuffs) small scuff on rear bumper and a few chips on bonnet . bumper has to come off anyway as i already ordered a new black honeycomb grill. rear lip spoiler , led bulbs and other bits and bobs . one thing it didnt come with is rear parking sensors. has anyone retro fitted these and if so do they have the correct part numbers . i ordered one off ebay today except checked module and it was lane assist sensors so cancelled order. or is it a cheaper option of the reversing camera . also does anyone have the part numbers for the hill assist switch and wiring and where is the correct part number im looking for on the abs pump . also what other mods can be done with these , via vcds etc . (never mind this a quick search and i found the large list of mods ) back after a few years break , use to own a a3 sline 140 with hybrid turbo. then went over to the darkside and bought a bmw , honestly never ever again ,the most boring drive ive ever had . german coding translations etc and a shocking 23 mpg from a diesel
I bought my first audi over the weekend too! A silver 3.0l s line Quattro estate on a 58 reg so I can't help with the questions I'm afraid! After 2 days driving in getting 37mpg
thanks sprocket for the retrofit , however i have already hit an issue , all the abs pump modules are listed as to wether they are compatible,not compatible or maybe compatible . mine is not listed at all and when read with vagcom to change the long coding to test if it could be compatible ,vagcom returns with no information to the pumps coding . bought a few new parts for the car not got them on yet though . black honeycomb grill ,rear lip spoiler for boot (needs paint) a few led bulbs here and there ,some new mats AND a set of !9" alloys ,pretty cheap ,had to give them a bit of a refurb though and 2 new tyres waiting to go back on 2 of them . got to give them a couple of deep coats of lacquer tomorrow . let me know what you think there rotiform blq im a bit unsure if they will look ok on an audi and on a silver/grey one at that. if not i have a swap with a set of rs4 with my nephew if need be.
Wheel looks good. I'm not sure about this design on the B8 either so will be very interested to see your fitted pics... In fact any pics of your new motor would be nice to see in this thread
il get some up soon atm it just looks like any other a4 sline , needs a wash as well , just reffited the headrest dvd screens for the little one today and played with some vcds coding although i cocked up on the aux heater settings and now it doesnt display aircon in the mmi . got to bloody cold though feet went numb sat there so called it a day and will go back to it tomorrow and sort it .

i feel so rejected
I'm sorry to read your post. I was married really young to my high school sweet heart, at 19 and had my first child at 20 - we later divorced, about 5 years later. I went through that phase but I was the one who didn't want to have sex with him. He was attractive, that wasn't the issue but I didn't feel a connection to him anymore and we had several problems in our relationship. My way of dealing with what he wouldn't was that I just didn't feel right having sex with him and pushed him away every time...always had an excuse not to get close to him. Sometimes when people are going through rough times or have other things on their mind - they just don't want to have sex - you really need to talk to him and find out what is going on. Good luck!
Quoting des-momma:
That's a good idea. We have been married 5 years. The beginning was not like this is was kinda opposite. I was high is sex drive but wouldn't reject him. Now mine is non stop and he never wants it. Not even if I offer oral.
Quoting kysmama08:I definitely understand. Maybe try going to a nice dinner or making a nice dinner at home and just open up to him about how you're feeling and tell him you want him to do the same. Have you been married long?
Quoting des-momma:
If there is something going on I wish he would open up to me. I want him to understand that not only is he needing to let me know as a wife but I want to know so I can help.
Quoting kysmama08:
Is he having work issues or are y'all having other problems? That can cause it. You're an attractive person maybe he just is having an issue and doesn't know how to tell you...

Former Hilo woman gets life sentence in son's slaying
A former Hilo woman has been sentenced in Oregon to life imprisonment for the murder of her 4-year-old son in a homeless shelter.
A Washington County Circuit Court Judge handed down the sentence Friday to 25-year-old Jessica Analani Dutro, according to the Oregonian newspaper.
Dutro will have to serve at least 25 years before becoming eligible for parole.
Dutro's 24-year-old boyfriend, Brian Canady, was sentenced to 12 years in prison for his role in the slaying of Zachary Dutro-Boggess in a Tigard homeless shelter.
According to prosecutors, Dutro and Canady committed a deadly assault on the boy, including kicking him in the stomach, and failed to act as his health deteriorated. The couple allegedly sought help only when the boy could no longer be saved.
The child was taken to a Portland hospital on Aug. 14, 2012, the day after he turned four. He was removed from life support two days later.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Wednesday that he underwent successful surgery last week so doctors could implant a small pump in his heart.
In a statement, Cheney said he had a Left Ventricular Assist Device implanted, which he said will improve heart function and enable him to resume an active life. The operation was done at Inova Fairfax Heart and Vascular Institute outside of Washington, D.C.
In his statement, the former vice president, who is 69 years old, noted that he has dealt with heart disease for decades, having suffered his first of five heart attacks at age 37.
"A few weeks ago, it became clear that I was entering a new phase of the disease when I began to experience increasing congestive heart failure. After a series of recent tests and discussions with my doctors, I decided to take advantage of one of the new technologies available," he said.
He said the operation went "very well" and said he is now recuperating, and thanked those who had included him in their thoughts and prayers.
The Left Ventricle Assist Device has been in use for about a decade, but a new, smaller version introduced in late 2009 has improved patient survival rates, said Randall C. Starling, vice chairman of cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic, who is not involved with Cheney's care. The one-year survival rate is now 70 to 80%, he said, and the devices, which weigh less than a pound, are in wide use.
"This is what I would consider to be standard therapy and the standard approach to patients with advanced heart failure in 2010," Starling said. He added that from what he knows about Cheney's disease, he appears to be a "very typical" candidate for the device. Once implanted, most blood is pumped through the device and directly to the aorta.
The pump is powered by an external battery pack connected to the pump through a tube about the diameter of a pencil threaded through the abdomen, and operates so quietly that neither patients nor those around them can hear it, Starling said.
The device is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for patients who are awaiting a heart transplant, as well as those who are not candidates for transplant, Starling said. A Cheney spokesman said he had no information about whether he is on the transplant waiting list.
Cheney served for eight years as President George W. Bush's vice president. He has had five heart attacks including the first one in 1978 and subsequently in 1984, 1988, 2000 and early this year. In late June, he was admitted to George Washington University Hospital for tests and observation after falling ill.

Dairy down but not out
Dairy prices take a hit in changing global climate, with Russia sanctions high on agenda for processors, government and farmers.
ROB HENSON August 13, 2014 3:36amDairy prices have fallen but the industry is not crying over spilt profits just yet, according to processors and industry analysts.
The Fonterra Global Dairy Trade has declined sharply by more than 20 per cent in the past month.
Rabobank senior analyst Michael Harvey said the majority of product sold at GDT auctions was New Zealand product and predicted the fall in Australia's fortunes would not be as drastic.
Mr Harvey said good growing conditions, especially in Europe and New Zealand, had put downward pressure on prices.
''Strong milk production growth, that's what's been putting pressure on the market,'' he said.
In the wake of season 2013-14, the milk price was about $7/kg milk solids, inflated by strong demand from China.
''The reality was we were always going to come off the record prices,'' Mr Harvey said.
He said the current four-year forecasts of between $6.10 and $6.30 had some potential to be reduced due to the risks associated with Russian sanctions — currently the world's second largest dairy importer.
Russia has cut Australian dairy products for a year, along with beef, pork, fruit and vegetable produce, fish and poultry.
Mr Harvey said this could further oversupply global markets, particularly in cheese.
''The trade between Australia and Russia is not huge, rather it's the knock-on effect we're all worried about.
''Russia imports a lot of cheese, mostly from Europe, and if they impose this ban, a lot of European cheeses will be diverted to other products or other markets and that's a real threat to Australia as a large exporter of cheese.''
He said there was uncertainty on whether Russia would impose the ban for an entire year, potentially creating food shortages in the country.
''We think things will remain weak the rest of the year, then see signs of recovery early next year.''
Murray Goulburn managing director Gary Helou said Russia was an important market for the company with almost $95
''The trade sanctions announced by the Russian Government on food exports from Australia will have some impact on our ability to maximise returns as we place this product into other markets,'' Mr Helou said.
''Given the importance of Russia as an importer of dairy products, particularly from the EU, we will monitor the impact of the sanctions on global dairy market settings.''
Australian Dairy Industry Council chair Noel Campbell said Russia was an important market for the Australian dairy industry.
VFF president Peter Tuohey said he trusted the Federal Government to deliver a free trade agreement with China with reduced tariff barriers.
For example, China's tariff for Australian milk powders is 10 to 15 per cent while New Zealand is charged 4.9 per cent.
''What's happened in Russia, just highlights the need for us to get strong FTAs in place that open up more markets for Australian exports, such as China,'' Mr Tuohey said.

Premier League: Points threat underpins English cost curbs

England's top flight soccer clubs could be docked points if they fail to comply with new limits on financial losses and curbs on increases in player wages, the Premier League said.
The complex measures agreed on Thursday are designed to help ensure that a five billion pound ($7.85 billion) television windfall brings a new era of financial stability rather than being frittered away on lavish wages for players.
The curbs are less stringent than UEFA's Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules which will force top clubs from all leagues across the continent to move towards breakeven or face exclusion from European competition.
The Premier League, the richest in the world by revenues, is seeking to promote financial stability without preventing rich owners from investing in their clubs to take them to the top.
Manchester City, bankrolled by cash from Abu Dhabi, and Chelsea, owned by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, have both run up huge losses over the past few years but both have been rewarded by winning the Premier League.
However, clubs will be limited to maximum aggregate losses of 105 million pounds ($165 million) over the three years from 2013 to 2016, coinciding with the new TV contracts.
That means that the days of a super-rich new owner trying to buy instant success will be a thing of the past.
"A new owner or even an existing owner with a change of attitude or fortunes... can invest proportionately a decent amount of money to improve their club," Premier League Chief Executive Richard Scudamore told reporters.
"But what they aren't going to be doing is throwing hundreds and hundreds of millions at it in a very short period of time."
Top leagues in Germany and Spain have already adopted financial controls for their clubs while similar measures are also in place in the English Championship (second division).

Hibernian defender Fraser Mullen is loving the fact he is competing in the Europa League.
The 19-year old right-back ended an injury-plagued stint with Heart of Midlothian earlier this summer to join Edinburgh rivals Hibs and it has already paid dividends as the club prepares to take on Swedish side Malmo in the second round of Europa League qualifying next week.
"It's good to have this game so early. Usually competitive games don't start until August but all the boys are pushing themselves really hard to get into the team," he said.
"It was a great experience just being able to sit and watch the games at Hearts and it was a great atmosphere. When you watch European games on the telly, you think that you'd love to play on that stage."
Of his move to Easter Road from Tynecastle, Mullen added: "When I was released there was a wait as I was still injured.
"I thought I'd have to drop a level but when the chance came to sign for Hibs I couldn't say no. I never expected it. I was shocked it was Hibs who called. I didn't have a clue they'd come in for me.
"But I'm not from Edinburgh so I'm not a Hibs or a Hearts supporter and that made it a bit easier.
"I think about it as doing a job."

This question already has an answer here:
- How to enumerate audio out devices in c# 5 answers
I found a way to use VB.Net to get the default audio device in Windows 7 through downloading something extra - in this case, NAudio - but I'm now having to research whether this can be done through nothing more than run-of-the-mill Visual Studio .Net stuff, with no extra downloads, externally-done system configurations, or anything else whatsoever. Is this possible? My current research suggests that it basically isn't.

Duckies Comment on published books and FP works here. Discuss whether you liked it or not, and why. Request stories. Kind of like the OT, but based around books and stories. All opinions will be welcomed and respected :) 5/16/2009 . Edited 5/16/2009 #1 |
Duckies Hrmm.. what to write? o_O Favourite books and/or authors (Not in chronological order and to be constantly updated) - Anything Shakespeare - Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen) - Harry Potter series (J.K Rowling) - Georgia Nicholson series (Louise Rennison) - To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee) - Wuthering Heights (Emily Bronte) - Lord Loss series (Darren Shan) - The Secret Garden, A Little Princess (Frances Hodgson Burnett) - Song of the Lioness quartet, The Immortals quartet, Protector of the Small quartet, Beka Cooper series, Trickster series (Tamora Pierce - these are all set in or around the realm of Tortall) - Circle of Magic quartet, The Circle Opens quartet, The Will of the Empress, Melting Stones (Tamora Pierce - these are all set in or around the realm of Emelan) I have to say, Tamora Pierce is quite possibly my favourite author of all time. There are a few of her newer books that I haven't read yet, and another I know is coming out next yer for sure - makes me so happy! :D 5/18/2009 . Edited 6/13/2009 #2 |
XxNoImaginationxX Okay, Im not sure if anyone actually goes on here but I figure I can try anyways. I saw a book called My Sister's Keeper (Jodi Picoult) the other day and it looked really good but Im not surre whether or not to uy it cause sometimes these things can be deceiving so I wants to know if anyone has read and what they thinks? 5/23/2009 #3 |
Fractured Illusion @my sister's keeper Haven't read it, but you can look here: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10917.My_Sister_s_Keeper It got 4.01 out of 5 from the userratings. Try to read some non-spoiler reviews to see what was good and what was bad. 5/23/2009 #4 |
XxNoImaginationxX Thanks Frac well, it seems that people hate it, a lot of the reviews described my initial thoughts on her writing 5/23/2009 #5 |
Duckies Hmm, never read it before - did you end up trying it out? What was that book you said was pretty good awhile back? It had something to do with a tree, and for the life of me I can't remember the title! 5/23/2009 #6 |
XxNoImaginationxX Which one!? I have read that many books... give me more details 5/23/2009 #7 |
Duckies I can't remember, all that comes to mind is tree. I think we were in flexi when we were trying to remember it, in yr 8 I think.. It had three words..and the cover had a tree on it..or something.. *headesk* 5/23/2009 #8 |
XxNoImaginationxX I remember that now! I was trying to remember what it was called cause it was really bugging me And I Just Remembered!! The Magic Faraway Tree, Enid Blyton 5/23/2009 #9 |
Duckies Ah, four words :P Thankee! It's been bugging me for awhile now 5/24/2009 #10 |
clandestinedownpour nooooo struggling topic. i will rescue you from the depths of ignoration. *cue dramatic theme music* has anyone else read chuck palahniuk? 6/6/2009 #11 |
Duckies Nope - apparently it's really good though.. Opinions on Fight Club? 6/7/2009 #12 |
XxNoImaginationxX I saw the cover to the book the other day, wasn't as great as you would expect from something as popular. Dont Judge A Book By It's Cover! ... but I do 6/7/2009 #13 |
clandestinedownpour although it's an awesome book, it's not his best work. i recommend you read invisible monsters or choke first. 6/7/2009 #14 |
Duckies Ooh, choke sounds cool I have fight club sitting on my bookshelf, just waiting to be read. I might go out and borrow one of the other two you mentioned though, they sound interesting. 6/7/2009 #15 |
XxNoImaginationxX hmm, I like the sound of invisible monsters 6/7/2009 . Edited 6/7/2009 #16 |
Duckies Which do you like better, Ginger? both in the sense of the title and the story, if you've read it. 6/7/2009 #17 |
XxNoImaginationxX or we could just get one each and swap? 6/7/2009 #18 |
clandestinedownpour invisible monsters is much more thought-provoking. choke is more entertaining. 6/7/2009 #19 |
Duckies Hmm, interesting - good idea lola, we should go shopping one of these days and buy a book each.. Okay. Here it comes. Opinions on Twilight? 6/11/2009 #20 |
XxNoImaginationxX We should ok, next topic Books that suck: Little Lady Agency, Anastacia, to be continued later 6/11/2009 #21 |
Duckies Hmm, can't think of any atm, but I'll make a list thing anyways. Note: if you're adding to a list, please put at the top of it, in bold, what the list is regarding, and if you want to add to it later on, go back and edit it (unless its too far back, in which case just label your post) For an example, see the first post on this page (not the intro post) I made a list (favourite books/authors), labelled it, and edited it when i remembered something else. Lola has been doing this already, but just in case someone else joins in :) Please remind me to add that to the rules for this thread, I'm a bit tired at the mo'. 6/13/2009 #22 |
Duckies Books that suck: I honestly can't think of any atm, I love all the books I read, and I forget them if they suck xD Maybe I'll think of something later on - will edit if any come to mind :D 6/13/2009 #23 |
Kirrithian Twilight: You can currently divide most of the reading world into those that like and those that don't like twilight. I personally after hearing the feedback that it's got have avoided the books, film and any fanfiction stemming from it. But I am wondering if it worth reading the first book to see what all the hype is about, or not. 6/16/2009 #24 |
Duckies @ Twilight I loved the books at first (hence the poem dedicated to it xD) - I got really drawn into the characters and such, but then I guess all the teeny bopper hype about it kind of killed my interest. Keep in mind they're very romancy - I think these books are good if you want to read something that takes you into a world that is very modern-day-fairytale and rich-vampire-prince-dream-come-true-esque. I found that I liked it at the time and then kind of got over it - it's worth a shot to read anyway, just so you know what all the interest is about - there are some intriguing events and new concepts to say the least. You are right though, it's pretty much an either love it or hate it kind of situation. Anyways, good luck with whatever path you choose to take - I'm on the fence about twilight right now; I used to like it, but I don't love it anymore..if that makes any sense whatsoever :D EDIT: Try reading 'The Host' too - I think I liked that better than Twilight. 6/17/2009 . Edited 6/17/2009 #25 |
Duckies Random: Has anyone here read 'Les Miserables?' If you have, or know anyone who has, please tell me your/their opinions on it - I'm thinking of maybe buying it. And also this book (translated) called Don Quixote I'm really interested in buying that - opinions? Lola, how are you liking the first 'Song of the Lioness' book (tamora pierce, in case anyone is interested) I gave you? People - read these books! they totally rock! :D 6/19/2009 #26 |
XxNoImaginationxX Well... Ive heard the soundtrack and its not bad Im liking the book, its good from what Ive read 6/20/2009 #27 |
Duckies Coolies :) Yeah, I especially love the song 'on my own' - it's so pretty 6/22/2009 #28 |
Glass Queen Ah, Twilight. And yes I actually do underline book titles. *thinks AP English teacher will materialize and start beating her with a thesaurus if she doesn't* But anyway, the book, in my opinion, was one of the worst pieces of literature i have ever set fingers on. If anyone wants to hear a probably one thousand word rant on that, i'd be more than pleased to rant and rage about it somewhere around here..... :D ......Basically i think the plot is FAIL, the character development is FAIL, the setting is CLICHE, and it might as well be renamed "Mary and Gary Sue and the Happily Ever After." And i can back all of that up. Honestly, the only reason why that series was such a hit, is because the high and mighty Edward Cullen was, dare i say it, a sexy beast. And that created the snowball effect, with the tween girls squealing, the highschool girls drooling, and the equally as horribly done films. My class even did a fundraiser (which, in their defenese, was a good idea) where they sold tickets to the premiere of the movie. And it was a hit. Which proves America's facination hot vampires/and-or other attractive humaniods. The day of the movie, my anti-Meyer friends and I all worse "Vampires Don't Sparkle" shirts. We nearly got beat up by crazed cullen fans.... xD 7/8/2009 #29 |
XxNoImaginationxX uh, new person, just a hint, although i do agree with you in a way. do not speak of that book in the presence of myself or Coke. we are very much over the hype. the whole thing is totally over rated thanks to the female population of necrophiliacs. and speaking of it will generally lead to a rant from her which i would prefer to avoid if possible. i will no doubt have to deal with her rants next week i would prefer to stay away from them for as long as possible. also, i believe Coke still does have a soft spot for the book, no matter how small. ta :D thanks for your opinion though! always respected 7/8/2009 #30 |

Talk Back Florida: Being an Entrepreneur
Missed part of the show? Here's a rewind of the program on April 26, 2014.
Have you ever had an idea for a business or wanted to develop an "app" but didn't know how to get started? This show has some answers! We talked about mentoring programs, money, degree and non-degree seeking classes, incubators and people who have been there and done all that.
