We always thought of quinoa as a healthy lunch staple, but LiQWd's lavish hair treatment is putting the super grain to a whole new use. This nourishing deep conditioner uses quinoa proteins to smooth stubborn tangles and guard against heat damage. A touch of grape and pomegranate seed oils hydrate dry strands, lending them silkiness and shine.
This does an amazing job of deep conditioning my dry and curly hair. It smells great and leaves my hair soft and manageable. My only complaint is that my hair is to my waist so I need to use a lot of product to condition my hair. That's not a knock on the product but a complaint about having long hair.5
When ever my hair needs a little boost, I put this deep conditioning treatment on my hair for a few minutes. When my hair is dry, it feels just like I left the salon. Not only do I love this product but my husband does too. He uses it all the time. He doesn't have long hair, it's short but he does use a styling gel so this deep conditioner gets the gel buildup out of his hair.5
I heat style my hair every day, so I usually use a pretty intense moisturizing conditioner as is. This one was not a step down from my normal product at all, but it wasn't a step up either. It left my hair feeling soft and smooth, but not noticeably different. It does smell really good!3

Step 4. Connecting with your HOOP advisor
During HOOP, you will see contact information for your HOOP advisor. This is the faculty member that is assigned to your academic major. After you have completed steps 1 through 3, you will need to connect with your HOOP advisor based on their stated method of communication. Once you've received advising, your advising hold will be removed. This process is not instantaneous and may take up to one week to complete.

Optional HOOP Connect will take place on Friday, August 14 for those who wish to supplement their online orientation with an on-campus experience. Email invitation will be sent in August. HOOP Connect is not a replacement for HOOP.


text: Today a federal judge will hear arguments whether Louisiana should recognize same-sex marriages from other states. The issue will come down to how US District Judge Martin Feldman interprets the Supreme Court's decision in the US v Windsor case. Forum for Equality Louisiana chairman-elect, Chris Otten, says that decision has validated their argument. "You cannot discriminate against similar groups of people without a sufficient justification," Otten insisted. "And the state hasn't given any, in our view, has not given any rational justifications to refuse to recognize these marriages." Louisiana Family Forum President Gene Mills says gay rights advocates don't have a case because the US v Windsor decision allows states to develop their own laws concerning gay marriages. "Kennedy wrote the opinion that the federal government does not have the prerogative to define marriage for federal purposes," Mills stated. "That's a uniquely state prerogative. Well, we're the state that's decided." Otten says a ruling for Louisiana to recognize same-sex marriages would give gay married couples numerous benefits not afforded to them currently, like issues with inheritance laws, income taxes, retirement benefits, health insurance, and more. "Also just from a psychological level and an emotional level, these families would finally be recognized by the state for what they are, which is loving, caring, real families. They're not fictitious, as the state likes to act like they are, right now," according to Otten. Whatever way Feldman decides to rule on this issue, this case is most likely headed to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. Mills is confident the judge will rule against the recognition. He feels same-sex marriage should not be recognized as a legal union between two people. "That's a slippery slope that opens the door to a redefinition of marriage and family and I don't think that prevails in this court," the Family Forum President said.

Camp for Everyone
The blessings of Jewish camps for special-needs kids
Are you completely sick of me yammering about camp? Well, you'll be glad to know that this is my last camp-related column of the summer. But while the others have been jokey, this one is anything but.
Meet Ezra, the 12-year-old son of my friend Jeff Kress. Jeff is chair of the Department of Jewish Education at the Jewish Theological Seminary and co-author of the book Building Learning Communities With Character: How to Integrate Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning. Ezra is a cheery, funny kid who has familial dysautonomia, a Jewish genetic disease. It affects his sensory and autonomic nervous systems—which control swallowing, body temperature, pain and heat perception, the regulation of blood pressure, and the ability to produce tears.
When Ezra was 7, Jeff and his wife, Adena, learned about Camp Simcha Special, a camp run by Chai Lifeline for kids with genetic diseases. They signed up Ezra, even though they were concerned. "He was in much less stable medical condition than he is now," Jeff told me recently. "We were constantly going to the hospital. We couldn't believe the camp could care for him. We assumed we'd max out the services they could provide. But each child has his own counselor, with whom you meet before camp to go over treatments, and Ezra's counselor that first year was an Australian guy named Avi with this total can-do attitude—think Crocodile Dundee from yeshiva. Whatever we said about Ezra's medical needs, he'd say 'No worries!' At first we thought it meant 'I'm not actually listening to you!' But he was. He was amazing."
In addition to one-on-one counselors, Camp Simcha Special has a full 24-hour medical staff, an on-site ambulance, and an on-call medevac helicopter. The camp provides a visiting petting zoo, a zip line, and an annual helicopter ride. "I'm the only member of the family who's been in a helicopter!" Ezra crows to his parents.
In the outside world, Ezra's speech can be hard to understand, and it's a challenge for him to make friends. But at camp, his best buddy since day one has been another kid with the exact same symptom profile, the same kind of feeding tube, the same oxygen pump. "Camp is his chance to have his own private jokes and independence," said Jeff. "It's his time not to have Mom and Dad hovering all over him all the time. What happens at camp stays at camp."
And at camp, Ezra has blossomed. "His first summer, he was still easily overwhelmed by noise," Jeff recalled. "We had to sneak him into camp through the back entrance, because all the people and tumult were too much for him. He couldn't be in the dining room during meals because all the riotous singing and simcha dancing were too much for him. Now, six years later, we take him right into the main entrance, and he's immediately surrounded by dozens of guys wearing clown costumes, chanting his name. Now, the kid who couldn't stay in the dining room gets up on stage in front of the whole camp, with a live band, to do a dance of his own invention, the Ezra Dance, and the whole camp does it with him."
The camp's spirit of inclusion, Jeff noted, extends beyond denominational rifts. "Professionally, I look at pluralistic organizations," he said, "and I am amazed that this one really is nondenominational. The people who run the camp may be more toward the right-wing side of Orthodoxy, but there's no agenda, just caring for kids. There's a universalist message—respect your family and be a good person and be nice to guests and thank you, Hashem—that kind of thing. That's what he's taking home. The camp is really fueled by ruach-y music and wild, raucous fun."
Camp lasts two weeks, but it boosts Ezra's spirits for the entire year. And it's completely free to families. (In thanks, Jeff does regular fundraising marathons for Chai Lifeline, which pays for everything. You can donate here.) When Ezra has his bar mitzvah, this year, his counselors will there.
Kids like Ezra with intense medical concerns need their own camps. But other special-needs kids do well in mainstream camps. So it's great that Jewish parents today have a variety of options. Every Ramah camp has some kind of program for kids with disabilities. Camp Yofi at Ramah Darom in Clayton, Ga., includes a family camp for kids with autism and their parents and siblings. There's also Camp Yaldei, a stand-alone camp in Quebec for kids with developmental delays and neurological disorders; Round Lake Camp, a camp for learning-disabled kids, in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Lake Como, Pa.; Camp Morasha Yachad, for kids with developmental disabilities, in Lakewood, Pa.; Camp HASC, the Hebrew Academy for Special Children's seven-week camp in the Catskills for mentally and physically handicapped children and adults. And Chai Lifeline runs a second camp in addition to Camp Simcha Special, this one for kids with cancer; it can even deliver on-site chemo.
One of the very first special-needs options was the Tikvah Program at Ramah in New England, which just celebrated its 40th anniversary. Back in 1970, when educators Herb and Barbara Greenberg presented their proposal to accommodate campers with special needs to the National Ramah Commission, most camp directors turned up their noses. They worried that allowing mentally or emotionally disabled kids in camp would be upsetting for the "normal" kids. They fretted that enrollment would suffer. But one director, Donald Adelman of the Ramah in Glen Spey, N.Y., stood up. "He said, 'This is exactly what Ramah should be. I insist on having it,'" recalled Howard Blas, the program's current director.
Tikvah took off. Now Ramah in New England, which took over the original program from Glen Spey, offers inclusion bunks (in which special-needs and typical kids live and play together), stand-alone bunks, and a vocational training program for older kids and adults. There are bunks with entrances that can accommodate motorized scooters, barrier-free bathrooms, paved roads that won't make a wheelchair break an axle. For special-needs kids who aren't well accommodated in other Jewish settings, camp is an opportunity to live a joyous, immersive Jewish life for a few sweet weeks.
I recently chatted with a 23-year-old camper named Sam Busis, who is on his eighth Tikvah Program summer. "I was scared when I came here at first," Sam recalled. "But everything is wonderful! I can't pick a favorite thing. I have friends from all over that I only see when I'm here. I work with little kids. I've worked in the guesthouse and the kitchen and I liked that, too. I love swimming in the agam—you can cool off and have fun. But my favorite thing has been the Tikvah Israel trip. I loved Jerusalem. The city was really pretty. I bought a tallis."
Sam's mother, Judith Beck, director of the Beck Center for Cognitive Therapy and Research, in suburban Philadelphia, laughed when I told her of Sam's enthusiasm. "The camp's been amazing for him," she said. "We've seen him grow in social skills, independence, and a can-do attitude. It's both nurtured and pushed him a little bit. Going to Israel with Howard was one of the most meaningful experiences of his life. They visited a facility for kids with disabilities, picked vegetables on a kibbutz, visited an archaeological dig—wonderful things that expanded the camp experience. And Sam always liked having a mainstream buddy—they connect kids from the Tikvah program with typical campers. It's great for the typical campers to see the Tikvah kids as people. There's a level of acceptance that's really great."
I think back to my own Mesozoic experience at Ramah in New England, when immersion and mainstreaming weren't as common. I remember some boys mercilessly teasing one Amitzim ("brave ones," the special-needs group) camper. At night, they'd try to goad him into bellowing "Shmira!" ("Guards!") because with his speech impediment, it came out "Shmiwwa!" The boys found this hysterical. Need I say it wasn't funny? Need I say I don't think this would happen today?
Both my daughters—one with special educational needs, one without—will be in immersion classes this year. As I type this, they're at a JCC Camp in Wisconsin with a special-needs program. As I dropped them off at the bus stop this morning, a boy with Down syndrome, wearing headphones, was singing off-key at the top of his lungs. Josie smiled, "Mikey really likes to sing."
Ramah doesn't worry about scaring away parents of nondisabled kids any longer. "Do we tell parents when there will be a Down syndrome kid in a bunk?" asked Blas rhetorically. "Well, would you tell kids in advance that there's a camper who was adopted from Korea or who has two mothers or that there's a counselor with 10 piercings? Our community includes lots of people. That's a good thing for everyone. Accepting differences is great—it helps you accept kids who aren't pretty, who are overweight, who come from other backgrounds."
Indeed, the evidence is mounting that living and learning with special-needs kids is good for everyone. Recent research shows that kids without disabilities learn tolerance; kids with disabilities develop greater social skills. Blas pointed me to some as-yet-unpublished research conducted by the National Ramah Commission on 100 fifth- to seventh-grade campers at his camp. Fifty-eight percent agreed or strongly agreed that "experiences with campers from this camp's special-needs program has made me a better person," and 63 percent agreed or strongly agreed that "experiences with campers from this camp's special-needs program will carry over into other areas of my life."
How Jewish a value is that? Kids like Josie, Sam, and Ezra can all benefit from attending camps serving special-needs kids. Society wins. How much more could anyone ask from summer?

Re: Why Waves Look Bigger From a Boat
I cannot judge wave height because I always think I am chicken so I think that anything I am out in must be small. People ask me the wave height and I tell em am no judge of such.
When I sailed from West Palm to West End across the Gulf Stream on my 28' boat, the waves seemed "unreasonable" but I thought, "Oh, I'm just being a wimpy Gulf of Mexico Sailor" cuz the waves there are small. Two days later when I went back on the 525' long MV Discovery and the ship was rolling, I asked a crew member what he thought the wave height was, he said, "Not bad, it was worse two days ago......"

Because I think Left Field isn't an issue and that there are more than half-a-dozen solutions that will play Left Field well in 2009. There's no reason to trade away any pitching for a Left Fielder. There are only about 730 plate appearances available in Left Field and that can easily be divided among 7 players throughout the season. Those 7 players combined should also be able to produce above average defense in Left Field as the average Left Fielder defensively (Adam Dunn) is poor, at best. Offensively, the total of those 7 players should be able to collectively produce average results by the end of the year. Average results is fine for one season when the Defense is going to be above average and the pitching is going to be above average. These seven players are will do more of the little things that Adam Dunn couldn't do to win ballgames.
Seeing that Walt Jockety hasn't obtained a starting Leftfielder yet reassures me that he continues to see the state of the REDS exactly as I do...and that's a good thing.
Come September 2009 (8 months from now), Alonzo should be starting at 1st Base, and either Votto or Encarnacion should be starting in Left Field. There's no reason to have some other guy clogging their developments, especially at the cost of some pitching that we currently have on our team.

No decision has been made at the present time as to whether Petral will issue a second June arrival tender, the source added.
Previously, Petral bought 3.45m bbl of May arrival sweet crude via three tenders. The purchase comprised a 600,000 bbl cargo of Tengiz and a 950,000 bbl cargo of Azeri Light bought via the first tender.

Lip-locks doesnt suit indain movies, especially not SRK. Very disappointed, wished he never did such stupid thing. Oh my SRK, but u r still my fav! I wonder what his kids reaction would've been when they saw his movie LOL
The only person who can do lip locking for me is hrithik.
It does not suits to anyone else as hrithik sure knows the trick, and really it does not help in the eastern movies as none of the movies mention above, which also did the super business, r not the family movies anymore so whts the point...
As just my point no offend to anyone
Edited on:20 February 2013 at 7:35pm
The worst in the list was SRK and Kat. Yuck!
I think JTHJ made the 100 crore benchmark just because people wanted to see the kiss... that must have been the reason because the movie itself was such a disappointment.
I too second the opinion in a previous comment...why SRK why? :(
Edited on:20 February 2013 at 4:46pm
Lol there's nothing wrong with liplocks but if they dont suit that moment then its beauty is lost. Most of these movies hav thrown in lip locks to entice rather than the demand of the scene...
I think the only person that's left that hasn't done it yet is Salman Khan if I'm not mistaken but I could be though. Don't really see the point of lip locking. It doesn't really add anything more to the film to be honest. But that's just my opinion.
Where has all the decent movies gone these days?! Bollywood is ruined!
Why SRK why!? :(
Edited on:20 February 2013 at 3:47pm
liplocks r yukkk ..i'm glad tht salman never do tht
@Nelo [
Edited on:20 February 2013 at 4:24pm
eyes closed! @ liplocks...
parineeti and arjun's scenes are the best!
Yuck, I hate lip locks- How I wish SRK didnt do it

Obama's "Read-My-Lips" Momentby Gerri Willis
Remember this?
"I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits either now or in the future."
Not so fast Mister President because a new analysis of what you consider your signature achievement shows you will be adding a lot to the deficit - some $340 billion, or roughly more than half of what we spend on defense in this country every year.
The study, by Charles Blahous, will probably be discounted by Democrats because the author is a conservative policy analyst. On the other hand, he was also the President's pick to serve as GOP trustee for Medicare and Social Security, and his job – make sure those programs are solvent.
All along, the Administration has maintained the expansion of coverage for the 32 million uninsured Americans could be paid for by raising taxes and cutting payments to Medicare providers.
But Blahous shows the White House is double counting some of its savings.
Much of the money generated by Obamacare taxes and cutting programs will go to the Medicare hospitalization trust fund, and under law, the money has to be used to pay years of additional benefits to those who are already uninsured. According to the Washington Post, that means you couldn't use the savings to pay for benefits for the uninsured.
Look at it this way, when Obamacare passed (barely), supporters made a big deal of the fact it provided Medicare with some $575 billion in savings - enough to automatically extend the life of the trust fund through 2029. Those savings, though, were supposed to offset the dramatic expansion of Medicaid under the law as well as subsidies for uninsured people to buy coverage. Again from the Washington Post. Hence, the double counting.
And, oh by the way, Blahous also included the loss of $86 billion from deep sixing the CLASS Act, part of Obamacare, which even the Administration had to declare unworkable.
Surprised? I'm not.
I've been saying for some time that Obamacare is an entitlement we can't afford.
Look, we can't even afford the entitlements we have, and now we know one of them is being bankrupted by Obamacare.
Not going to raise the deficit by a dime?
Another lie, Mister President.

Filipinos hurt in Saudi blast stable, casualty identified
Publication Date : 02-11-2012
Filipinos who were injured when a fuel truck exploded after hitting portions of a bridge Thursday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia are in good, stable condition, the Philippine envoy to Saudi Arabia said Friday.
In a radio interview, Philippine Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Ezzedin Tago said that based on reports they received from the hospitals where the Filipinos were taken, no one was reported to be in critical condition.
"So far, no one is in critical condition, most are in stable condition. The hospital reported that they are in stable or good condition," Tago said.
Foreign Affairs spokesman Assistant Secretary Raul Hernandez, meanwhile, in a separate text message, noted that the Filipino truck driver Florentino Santiago, who was killed in the incident, was positively identified by his brother-in-law, who was also his co-worker in a tractor company.
"His remains are now in Riyadh Central Mortuary at Shumaisi Hospital," Hernandez said in the text message. Hernandez added that 10 other Filipinos were now confined in four hospitals in Riyadh for various injuries.
He said that so far five Filipinos were confined in Al Habib hospital, two were confined at the Al Jazeera hospital, two at the National Guard hospital, and one at the Shumaisi hospital. He said injuries that were sustained varied from arm fracture, facial wound, ear bleeding, eye wound to head trauma.
He added that the Philippine embassy in Saudi Arabia continued to monitor their condition and was in touch with their employers to make sure that all necessary assistance were given to them.
Hernandez added that the embassy also remained in contact with Santiago's employer and his family for the repatriation of the remains back to the Philippines.
Tago, in the interview, added that the employers of the Filipinos assured that they would help the victims.
"There shouldn't be a problem with their salary since it was not their fault. If they will have a problem in the future, they can come to us," Tago said.
Reports said the incident claimed 22 lives and injured more than 100 people.
Reports said the 7am explosion occurred near the Saudi National Guard building in an industrial area in the city's eastern district.
Officials quoted by the news-wire Agence France Press, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to talk to the media, said that the truck veered into a bridge pylon at a junction on Khurays Road in Riyadh at about 7:30am, causing a gas leak that spread out and then burst into flames, destroying nearby cars and business establishments.
Officials added that rescue crew had not finished the search and the death toll was still not final. With AFP and Associated Press

New England Weavers Seminar 2015: A Weekend of Weaving in New England
Online registration is now open.
By now you should have received your brochure for NEWS 2015 and are deciding what workshops you can't wait to take. I am confident that there is something for everyone. Registration will begin on February 15th, both online and mail-in, and we encourage you to register early and take advantage of the online registration.
The handicap accessible dorm is located very near the Campus Center, exhibits and classrooms. It is, however, a fair distance from the dining hall. We will have a shuttle that will operate from the dorm to the dining hall during the day and are working very closely with Smith to improve this service. If you will be requesting this dorm, you may want to consider having breakfast and lunch in the Campus Center and using the a la carte option for dinner in the dining hall. This option is purchased at the dining hall and they accept cash and credit cards. The Campus Center will be open from 7:30 – 2:30, Wednesday thru Saturday. It will not be open on Sunday, but you can use the a la carte option for breakfast and lunch in the dining hall. Be sure to register for the Thursday night Welcome Dinner when you register. This dinner will not be available unless you register for it.
For the 8th time, we are again offering the Beginning Weaving workshop and encourage you to reach out to new weavers and let them know about this wonderful opportunity. The workshop would not be possible without the generous support of Webs who provide, deliver, set-up and maintain the looms and equipment that the students use. Art and Barbara Elkins have spearheaded this effort for many years and we are so grateful for their continued support.
Be sure to check back frequently, especially Corrections and Updates as we will post the latest information here.
See you in Northampton in July.
Sue Turner
President, NEWS 2015

History Of The State Of The Union
By Steve Zwemke
President Obama delivers his State of the Union address Tuesday night. He's expected to discuss income inequality, immigration reform, health care and Afghanistan and Iran in his fifth State of the Union speech. The Constitution requires a yearly State of the Union message, but doesn't mandate the president deliver it verbally. Franklin Delano Roosevelt started the modern tradition by delivering his first report to Congress as a speech in 1934. Emily Wanless, assistant professor of Government and International Affairs/Political Science at Augustana College in Sioux Falls, discussed the history and tradition of the State of the Union message.

Fog and Snow in the Pacific Northwest
March 16, 2004
Huge banks of fog spread like blankets across Washington, Oregon, and Idaho in this true-color Aqua MODIS image from February 12, 2004. Snow dusts the Coast Ranges(west) and Rocky Mountains (east), the effect is a mixture of bright white and gray in sharp contrast with the deep green and brown snow-free ground. Meanwhile, the fog banks are a uniform white with little texture, and which obscure ground-features from sight. MODIS also detected a couple of fires in this scene; they are marked in bright red. A couple of the fires show visible smoke plumes drifting away in the wind.

Diabetes is One of the Fastest Deadly Growing Diseases around the World
According to the Centers for Disease Control in the USA: Diabetes is an epidemic. 17 million Americans have diabetes with 5.9 million completely unaware that they even have the disease. Diabetes is the 5th leading cause of death in the United States with over 200,000 deaths each year from diabetes-related complications. Among U.S. adults, diagnosed diabetes increased 49% from 1990 to 2000. Similar increases are expected in the next decade and beyond. A revolutionary natural supplement for diabetes just released after years of research by HESHOUTANG TCM HEALTHCARE on the bases of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
USA – China (PRWEB) February 06, 2012
A revolutionary natural supplement for diabetes was just released after years of research by HESHOUTANG TCM HEALTHCARE on the bases of traditional Chinese medicine brings new and real hope for diabetes.
Recently released research suggests that GlucoNature has the potential to alleviate and cure diabetes.
The herbal components in GlucoNature, according to the experts, may be the key in helping to increase substantially blood microcirculation in the body´s extremities. And by increasing microcirculation with this naturally based formula, many complications associated with poor circulation in Diabetics could be reduced. The active herbal antioxidant effect in GlucoNature can also assist those people with evidence of complications associated with Diabetes and Cardiovascular Diseases.
Heshoutang TCM Health Care manufactures of Gluconature in a press conference in their China offices in Qingdao said, "we're proud to produce all herbs near Mount Tai." Mount Tai is known for its purity of air and lush soils that produce the finest herbs.
Dr Wang, CEO of Heshoutang told everyone, "This is not something new. We did not invent the wheel, and this method has been used successfully in TCM in China for thousands of years!"
Dr Wang believes that the treatment in today´s clinical application by prescribing the same medicine for the only purpose of reducing blood sugar but ignoring the age, gender, etiology and symptoms among patients is wrong, and it will cause the disease to seem like its being treated, but some potential illness comes later, then people becomes weaker and finally an organ might fail. Only by paying attention to the difference of the patient's age, gender, and etiology can an expert diagnose and treat people based on an overall analysis of the illness and the patient's condition ( BianZhengShiZhi ), provide different formulas for different patients, provide different formulas at a different time, eliminate the source of disease, develop physical fitness, restore functions of viscera, and then finally treat diabetes.
Heshountang TCM Heath Care has created a warehouse facility in the USA to help Americans to get GlucoNature and other products faster and at a more affordable cost.
1. The TCM Hospital Online where customers/patients can submit their detailed diseases´ condition, and receive diagnosis results and complete treatment plan. On this website, patients could find the best TCM doctors online.

2. The TCM Community for customers offers a place to submit their questions during the treatments; our assistants will give patients a timely reply.

May 26, 2015
SANFORD, Fla. (July 12, 2013)—Jurors started deliberations Friday afternoon in Sanford, Fla., in the trial of neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, who shot and killed Trayvon Martin, 17, last year.
Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder, but the jury will also be allowed to consider a manslaughter charge.
Under Florida gun crimes law, a conviction on either charge could mean life in prison.
The jurors have been sequestered during the past three weeks.
Because there were no eyewitnesses to the shooting, jurors will likely rely heavily on testimony from police, neighbors, friends and family members, which was often conflicting.
Jurors will have to determine whether Zimmerman took the law into his own hands or was in a fight for his life and shot the unarmed teenager in self-defense.
Jurors wrapped up deliberations for the day Friday evening.
They'll resume Saturday morning.

More than monkey business
Disneynature's 'Monkey Kingdom' is its strongest yet
"Did you know monkeys could swim?" asks Tina Fey in Monkey Kingdom. While she's asking, a toque macaque (a two foot-long monkey with red-white fur and great hair) breast-strokes under the surface of a pond, yanking out lily pad flowers by her teeth and dragging them ashore to munch later.
Turns out monkeys can swim. And slide down telephone poles. And do the thing from Flashdance where you bring down a cascade of water on your head and shake it off in slow-motion.
All will happen in Monkey Kingdom, the eighth film in nine years from Disneynature, Disney's wildlife documentary outlet. > Read more.

Dave McClure lands at cloud, cyber company as chief strategist
Tuesday - 9/2/2014, 11:30am EDT
Three months after leaving government, Dave McClure has a new job.
McClure is the new chief strategist for the Veris Group, a cybersecurity firm in Vienna, Virginia.
The company announced Tuesday that McClure will work with state and federal agencies to implement cloud computing technologies to better secure and modernize IT infrastructure.

"We are extremely honored to be able to work alongside Dave, who has made such a positive transformation to information technology in the public sector," said Dave Svec, Veris Group's managing principal and co-founder, in a release. "Dave will be an invaluable asset to help guide Veris Group's strategic position in the marketplace and to help us develop valuable service offerings for our customers."
McClure comes to Veris after spending almost five years as the General Services Administration's associate administrator for the Office of Citizens Services and Innovative Technologies. McClure left GSA in June.
McClure will be a guest Tuesday afternoon on In Depth with Francis Rose at 5 p.m. on 1500 AM and online.
During his tenure at GSA, McClure was instrumental in almost every major Obama administration IT initiative. He oversaw the implementation and running of the Data.gov platform as part of the White House's open data initiative.
McClure played a key role in moving the government toward cloud computing, by overseeing the creation of contract vehicles first for infrastructure-as-a-service and later for email-as-a-service. He then led the effort to create the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), establishing cybersecurity standards for vendors providing cloud services. Veris is an accredited third-party assessment organization under FedRAMP.
This was McClure's second tour in government. He spent the first 18 years of his career working for the Government Accountability Office, where he oversaw federal IT efforts and was part of the team that helped craft the Clinger-Cohen Act. McClure also worked at Gartner Inc. as its managing vice president for its Government Research Team for four years.
Veris says its clients include the departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Homeland Security, Justice, Labor, Interior, Treasury and Veterans Affairs, as well as the Defense Information Systems Agency, the Federal Communications Commission and the Defense Logistics Agency.

21 November 2013 10:46 [Source: ICIS news]
DUBAI (ICIS)--Oman Refineries and Petroleum Industries Co (Orpic) has received bids for the front-end engineering design (FEED) tender issued for its $3.6bn (€2.7bn) integrated Sohar plastics project, a company source said on Thursday.
The project comprises a 800,000 tonne/year steam cracker that will use a mix of feeds –including condensates and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) – that is slated to start up in 2018, the source told ICIS at the sidelines of the 8th Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association (GPCA) Forum in Dubai.
The project also includes a 838,000 tonne/year linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE)/high density PE (HDPE) swing plant, a 215,000 tonne/year polypropylene (PP) plant, and a 46,000 tonne/year benzene unit that are also scheduled to come on stream in 2018, he said.
The company's existing 160,000 bbl/day refinery at Sohar would be expanded by 82,000 bbl/day by 2017, the company source said.

Reward for Information Leading to Identification of the Person Responsible for Shooting a Whooping Crane Near Miller, South Dakota
Reward for Information Leading to Identification of the Person Responsible for Shooting a Whooping Crane Near Miller, South Dakota
A reward has been offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for the shooting of a whooping crane located along 354th Avenue, approximately 17 miles southwest of Miller, South Dakota.
Law enforcement officers from the Service and the South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks are investigating the shooting which took place Friday afternoon on April 20, 2012. The migrating adult whooping crane was traveling with two additional whooping cranes before being shot with a high-power rifle as it was standing in a corn field.
Anyone with information should call either the 24-hour Turn in a Poacher Hotline at 1-888-OVERBAG (683-7224) or the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service at 605-224-9045 to report any information which will aid officers in the apprehension of the shooter. Callers can remain anonymous.
Observations and other information reported by the public play a key role in solving wildlife crime, according to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Special Agent Brad Merrill. The whooping crane is among one of the rarest birds in the world with a total population of approximately 600 individuals worldwide, which includes captive raised whooping cranes.
The crane which was killed, its mate, and their sub-adult whooping crane were among less than 300 whooping cranes migrating from their wintering grounds found in Aransas National Wildlife Refuge along the Texas Gulf Coast to Woods Buffalo State Park located in Alberta and the Northwest Territories in Canada. This population of cranes is the only self-sustaining population of whooping cranes in the world. In addition to the Endangered Species Act, whooping cranes are protected by state laws and the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

Army group says there ARE atheists in foxholes
If the Fort Bragg group succeeds, it will be overseen by the Chaplain Corps. That might seem contradictory for a group defined by its lack of belief, but it means MASH's literature would be available along with Bibles and Qurans. It could raise funds on base and, its members say, they could feel more comfortable approaching chaplains for help with personal problems. Recognition would also be an official sign that not believing in God is acceptable, something members say is lacking now.
"They call it `coming out of the atheist closet,'" Griffith said. "There are people who won't say anything to anyone outside of their own close-knit group. They don't want Grandma to find out, or whoever. People feel like they have to lie about it."
Griffith said he doesn't know of any soldiers being denied promotions because of their atheism, and he and other MASH members at Fort Bragg said they have no horror stories about outright discrimination, that the reaction from their comrades has amounted to little more than raised eyebrows and lots of questions.
Instead, they said, they are largely motivated by a sense of isolation and a desire to spend time with people who not only understand the military experience but also share their views on religion.
It is difficult to pin down how many nonbelievers are in the military, in part because some soldiers lose their faith or convert to a different one. But a report last June by the Pentagon's Military Leadership Diversity Commission concluded that about 20 to 25 percent of military personnel have no religious preference. Up to 3.6 percent identify themselves as humanist - a catchall that can refer to a nonreligious ethical philosophy.
Surveys of the general population generally find the "no preference" category at between 10 and 15 percent, a figure that has grown steadily over the past 20 years, making the military numbers less surprising, said Phil Zuckerman, a sociology professor at Pitzer College in Claremont, Calif.
"People are increasingly much more likely to identify themselves with no particular religion, although that doesn't mean they're atheists. About half the nonreligious are still believers," Zuckerman said.
The Pentagon is studying religious diversity in part to make sure tensions in society at large don't become problems in the military.
The MASH group meets at restaurants and homes, discussing books or having dinner together. About 15 people attend regularly, but Griffith said he has received inquiries from roughly 100 soldiers at Fort Bragg, along with dozens from other bases.
"Granted, most soldiers are Christian, but I'd like to see some secular kind of spiritual and emotional support," said Sgt. Adam Jennings, a Special Forces medic who has been in the Army for 11 years and served in combat in Afghanistan. "I want a place where I can go and be part of a close-knit community."

Re: 9800 GTX display freaking and locking up machine
Before complaining about the NVIDIA driver so much, they should try using some other card. NVIDIA is the only graphics card manufacturer which has a high-performing 3D and 2D driver for Linux (whether open- or closed-source) which supports hardware-accelerated video decoding and suspend/resume. The XOrg Intel driver has suspend and resume support, but its 3D performance is poor (simply because of the chipset) and it does not support video decoding for H264 and VC1. The XOrg ATI driver also supports suspend and resume, and has good 2D performance, but it only supports OpenGL 1.4 and its 3D performance on newer cards can be quite bad. It, too, has no support for hardware video decode acceleration. The ATI fglrx driver has mediocre 2D and 3D performance, and also has no video decode acceleration and no/poor support for power management operations.
