Though commercial release of genetically modified brinjal has been put on hold, documents made public by the government suggest a proposed study to assess the vegetable's need and possible socio-economic impact on farmers was never done.
The Ministry of Environment and Forests, according to documents available on its website, had set up a Bt Brinjal Technical Review Committee early in 2007. The committee evaluated numerous comments from various stakeholders vis-a-vis the biosafety data generated by Mahyco — the company which developed Bt Brinjal.
The committee recognised the need of a large scale socio-economic impact assessment study and set up a three-member sub committee to evaluate whether there was any ground-level requirement for the genetically modified brinjal at all.
In October 2007, the sub-committee met in Varanasi and developed a detailed methodology for the study, which was to be done by institutions of the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR Institutions) with government funding.
"But the (socio-economic assessment) study was never commissioned nor done," S. Parasuraman, one of the members of the sub committee and the director of the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, wrote in a communication sent to Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh.
While announcing the moratorium on the commercial cultivation of Bt Brinjal, Mr. Ramesh said there was no "tearing hurry" to make it the country's first GM food crop.
Several state government, NGOs, farmers' associations and scientists have also opposed the crop's commercial introduction, approved by the Genetic Engineering Approvals Committee (GEAC) in October last year.
Bt Brinjal is a genetically-modified vegetable which is infused with Cry1Ac gene from a bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis to make the plant resistant to the fruit and shoot borers and certain pests. Some scientists have been opposing it, arguing that the genes were toxic and would affect the health of the consumers.
In his letter, Mr. Parasuraman said the socio-economic assessment submitted by the developers of the GM brinjal to the ministry was defective in its methodology. "All the biosafety/other studies conducted by or for Mahyco must be made public in their complete form — the entire report, and not just the summaries.
"These studies must be peer-reviewed and subject to evaluation by external experts. The regulators, in consultations with NGOs, must appoint a non-interested third party expert to conduct independent studies on Bt Brinjal," Mr. Parasuram said.
Mahyco had made pubic an abstract of its biosafety studies of Bt Brinjal to back that the vegetable is safe to eat and economically viable for farmers. Mahyco has also been arguing that a normal farmer sprays pesticide at least 50 to 80 times in the entire lifecycle of a brinjal crop, and these toxins are transferred to consumers.
The company has been maintaining that Bt Brinjal affects only the pests and not humans. However, Mr. Parasuraman argued that before it was released for commercial cultivation, a comparative analysis of the costs of production of the GM crops and its impacts on the potential market value should be carried out.
Noted agricultural scientist M.S. Swaminathan had also suggested that the Environment Ministry carry out a careful study on the impacts of Bt Brinjal on human health. The National Institute of Nutrition and Central Food Technology Research Institute should "undertake a careful study of the chronic effects of Bt brinjal on human health. This is analogous to the studies carried out on the impact of tobacco smoking on the incidence of lung cancer in humans," Mr. Swaminathan wrote in his communication to the Ministry.
He also welcomed the government's moratorium on the crop and said: "I think it is a wise decision. It is appropriate to look at the problems carefully. The regulatory system has to be credible, transparent and effective".
Mr. Swaminathan said the Environment Minister would like to utilise the time period for studies and tests which should be completely shared with the public. "They have some benefits also. How we use it is the issue," he added.
P.M. Bhargava, the Supreme Court nominee on GEAC, wanted an institutional set-up for the tests to be carried out on Bt Brinjal. The tests would be carried out on animals and in some cases, even monkeys. "I have personally never opposed Bt Brinjal," he said but maintained that tests have to be carried out for long-term health effects.
Meanwhile, a section of crop scientists have argued that the brinjal is safe for cultivation.
In his communication to the Ministry, J. Nagaraju, a scientist at Centre for DNA Fingerprinting and Diagnostics, Hyderabad, said every modern development has its own potential risks and benefits, but in the case of Bt Brinjal, risks are blown out of proportion. "A small proportion of people with preconceived ideas should not be allowed to prevent the flow of scientific benefits to the society at large. It is like killing the baby before it is being born! This way we will be doing great disservice to the society".
Prof G. Padmanabhan, former Director of the Indian Institute of Science, said: "I do believe it is safe, but I do not buy this environment argument...to think that introducing a couple of genes will change the bio-diversity, I don't buy this argument".

The biggest headline and easily most asked question for the Vikings during training camp thus far has been who will start at quarterback on opening day in St. Louis.
Matt Cassel silenced many of his doubters with an easy-looking touchdown drive to start off the preseason vs. the Raiders this last Friday, Aug. 8.
Teddy Bridgewater looked a little shakier, going 6/13 for 49 yards. Offensive coordinator Norv Turner talked to the media Monday morning to discuss the play of his quarterbacks and how he thought they played vs. the Raiders.

homey, clean, comfortable hotel w hot bfastPosted Sep 9, 2014 on Hotels.com
we arrived to Zion earlier than check-in time and were able to get into our room 1.5 hours before regular check-in time, which was really nice. our room with a king bed was clean, comfortable, and had standard amenities like properly working AC, good shower water pressure, flatscreen TV, iron, etc. hotel lobby was strikingly homey, in a nice, comforting way. all service (though our interactions were pretty much limited to check in/out) was extremely pleasant. located right next to a Piggly Wiggly and a short drive to the Illinois Beach Resort (where our friends were getting married). we were choosing between staying there and here and are so glad we chose right! also hot breakfast was surprisingly satisfying (plus there's a nice breakfast place down the street too--Emily's Pancakes). we would stay again if we return to Zion!

I got the room for my Brother and his sons. He stated that the room was wonderful and was really impressed with the free breakfast. This was a weekend stay and the hotel was full. In fact it was the last available room. I was told that the room was quiet and the staff made them feel welcome upon arrival. The group enjoyed all the amentities, the pool was very busy and loud, the hot tub was just what they needed after a cold rainy day at Great America.

McMINNVILLE, Ore. -- A truck driver spotted a car along Highway 99 Tuesday that police believe had crashed the weekend before. A man was dead inside.
The car had tumbled down an embankment near Trunk Street. The truck driver spotted the wreckage in heavy brush.
Police identified the driver as Richard Smith, 75, of Sherwood. His family had reported him missing and said the last time anyone saw him was Friday.
Investigators said he used a credit card to purchase gas at the Spirit Mountain Casino on Saturday.
The westbound lanes of Highway 99 were closed in both directions in Dundee during Tuesday's investigation.

Golfers take step forward at home
Members of the Swede golf team learned they still have a lot of work to do, even on their home course.
Gothenburg lost in dual action to Lexington on Thursday at Wild Horse Golf Club 181-196."We've improved," said coach Don Graham. "We didn't even come close to breaking 200 in nine holes at the first meet in North Platte so we're gaining. We all know we've got a ways to go, though."
Lexington's Tyson Block shot 36 on the front nine to finish as the individual winner.
Gothenburg's best score of 44 came from juniors Adam Speck and Nathan Graham.
"They both made great improvements from the previous week," the coach said. "And I know the couple of guys who shot 54 both thought they could do better. We just need to keep shaving off strokes."
The Swedes will host North Platte St. Pat's in dual action again on Thursday with a full invite at Lexington on Tuesday.
Tee time at home Thursday is 3 p.m.

Iconic "Welcome to Vegas" sign now powered by the sun
By C.C. Weiss
January 12, 2014
Last week, the world's attention was focused on Las Vegas thanks to the Consumer Electronics Show. With that backdrop of bleeding-edge technology, the city's iconic welcome sign received a little technological makeover of its own.
The flashy "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign hasn't traded in its nostalgic 1950s look for OLEDs, but is now being powered entirely by a newly installed solar tree array that went live for the first time last week. The three solar trees powering the neon and incandescent lights contain a total of 18 photovoltaic cells.
The project was led by local nonprofits Green Chips and the Clean Energy Project, with funding coming from a variety of organizations, including the Consumer Electronics Association, which puts on CES.
"The Las Vegas Valley is one of the sunniest spots on the planet," said Commissioner and Green Chips board member Chris Giunchigliani. "We are delighted to harness that sunshine and use it to power such an iconic symbol of our community. The project will forever tie our storied past with the possibility of an exciting future powered by solar energy."
The next time you hit Vegas for a night of hazy debauchery, be sure to stop at the new sign and snap a couple pics of yourself – you can call it "ecotourism."
Source: Clark County
Hmmm...You gotta really wonder how much electricity that sign actually uses as opposed to how much those 18 solar cells (plus supporting electronics and batteries and maintenance) costs! Then do it all over again in 8 years! (batteries rarely last 8 years...and today's solar cells...yeah...in the kind of sun they get in Las Vegas? 5-8 year life span...Ed
A good step in the right direction. All Las Vegas should be harnessing the power of the sun...Tracy Cutts

So, the tournament ended up going basically how I expected it to. I made it to the final, but lost to my friend who was the second seed. My ankle held up fine, but my legs were a different story. I want to say I expected them to give out by the final, but I didn't. I thought that they would be able to last to pull me through to the end, but they didn't. Oh well.
The first match I played was on saturday. I won 6-1, 7-6(7-2). I don't think that I played my best, but the second set got really intense because I came from 2-5 down. In all honesty, I don't remember the first set, but I know that I didn't let anything get to me and I just kept a cool appearance throughout the entire thing. I think I started the second set off with a poor choice in strategy. I decided to just start rifling everything that I could get a hold of and my opponent seemed like he wanted me to do that... He easily went up 0-3. I dialed back and started fighting and grinding and ended up coming back to take it in the tiebreak. When I was at 2-5 down I was serving and the first serve I hit was an ace right down the T. I don't consider myself to have a big serve at all so I let out a nice big "come on!" after that. I feel like the change in attitude from calm and cool to firey and pumped is what helped me over come my opponent too.
The match killed me though and I could barely walk after it. I couldn't even carry my bag. I was so happy to win my first match back, but I couldn't show it because of the pain in my legs. Like I said though, the ankle was fine. When I got home, I took an ice bath... I only lasted 5 minutes in that thing... haha. And then I soaked in epsom salts. I ended up falling asleep at 9... Was exhausted.
My second match and the final were yesterday at 9am and 1pm respectively. For the first match, I didn't think my legs were going to hold up, so I wrapped them like the trainer in high school did for me when I strained my right quad. It seemed to help and I didn't really feel too much pain at the end of the match. I played the 6th man for Nazareth college in Rochester and won 6-1 6-3. I executed my strategy to the fullest and was happy with how I played. I was hitting better in this match than my first match, but my backhand was still off and I couldn't time it right at all. I blame the dirt. Can't stand clay! Especially the stuff at my club... My opponent drop-shot/lobbed me a lot, which won him every point he did it. He should've done it more
. This match was a pretty good minus missing a lot of easy balls from both of us, but I thought, for me, it was a good win.
The final was against a friend who I have known for about 2 years? We know each other's games pretty well so I knew going in it was going to be interesting. By the time the match started though, my legs weren't having any of it. I thought that I could pull through, but... didn't happen. The first set was really really gross, IMO. We would get into a rally, but then I would miss the 4th or 5th ball by like a foot. I couldn't find a groove or get a foot hold at all. It was really getting to me and I was getting ****ed. I cooled myself down and got back to 5-5 from 3-5 down. It wasn't enough though and he ended up taking the set 5-7. The second set was better. I broke him his first 2 service games, but he broke me in mine. After that, I just couldn't do squat. My legs were toasted. I decided that finishing the match would be better than just forfeiting, so I kept going, but you could tell that I wasn't there any more. Once again, I could barely walk, but it was worse than the match from saturday. I just disregarded everyone and went inside to get ice before I did anything else. It wasn't cramps, just sheer pain.
I'm not mad about losing the tournament, just disappointed that the 'healthy' parts of my body gave out. Oh well, it was my first tournament back and it was the B draw of it at that. It was for fun and a warm up for the real tournament in about a month. I'm taking today off, and if I feel ok tomorrow, I will be back at it. If not, then what is another day off?

More on OMSI's Holmes exhibit
Even though Sir Arthur Conan Doyle died in 1930, the Sherlock Holmes bookshelf gets longer.
Some stories have been written by devotees like the Baker Street Irregulars.
Some use references in the stories as launching points for their takes on Holmes. A new exhibit about Holmes at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (which we wrote about on Oct. 20) offers an example; it's from someone who really can be described as a man of letters.
Jon Lellenberg, who helped create the exhibit, said a featured display includes a contribution from Peter G. Ashman, a Baker Street Irregular who died this year.
In describing the sitting room at 221B Baker Street, Conan Doyle referred to unanswered pieces of correspondence that Holmes pinned to his mantel with a jackknife. When that scene was assembled, designers pinned a prop to the mantel.
But Lellenberg remembered that Ashman had written several letters to Holmes under the collective title "Pinned to the Mantel."
"I got four other friends of Peter's from the Baker Street Irregulars to join me in creating forgeries of these letters to take the place of the prop," he said.
Some letters
One was a publisher's letter rejecting Holmes' book about his career, calling his crime-solving process "pathetically unrealistic" and an insult to the intelligence of the average reader.
Mycroft Holmes scolded his younger brother for neglecting the family while rushing "across the country to examine a blade of grass or a bicycle tyre print, all on behalf of any miscreant" who knocks on his door.
A letter penned from the perspective of the landlady's solicitor directed Holmes to vacate 221B Baker Street. The letter cited -- among other damage -- window panes that have been replaced seven times in three years.
When Mrs. Hudson wanted an explanation, "my client has been thoroughly instructed in the history of glass-making and the shapes and configurations of glass shards" and whether the damage was caused "from inside or out, by airguns or blowguns."
Finally, there was the stream of young women who arrive in tears and depart smiling. Even if Mrs. Hudson gives him the benefit of the doubt, the solicitor wrote, "surely you will appreciate how it must appear to your neighbors."

MOOSIC - Like a lot of teammates past and present, David Adams has seen such spectacular consistency from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders starting pitcher Vidal Nuno before.
What a lot of people didn't notice, however, was the self-described struggles Nuno was going through Sunday.
"I was battling, falling behind counts," Nuno said.
He didn't fall too far.
Nuno gave Syracuse practically nothing for 5 2/3 innings, then Adams fueled a three-run rally that cracked open a tight game in the eighth inning of Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's 5-1 victory at PNC Field.
"It's just the mindset," said Nuno, who improved to 2-0 for the RailRiders this season. "It's going out there and competing."
In the heat of the battle, Nuno was as fierce as ever.
He limited Syracuse to three hits and one run before being removed in the sixth inning after throwing 91 pitches in a game that raised his ERA by one-hundreth of a point - to 1.54.
"I played with him last year," Adams said. "I think he's lights-out. He was last year. It's fun, knowing you've got a chance to win at the end of the day."
At the end of it all, Adams keyed a three-run rally with a big double in the bottom of the eighth.
"I'm just trying to put the barrel on the ball," Adams said. "Where it goes after that …"
Where it went was just over the out-stretched glove of left fielder Jeff Kobernus a double that brought home Austin Romine, sparking a rally that gave the RailRider breathing room. Thomas Neal followed with a single that brought Adams home and Neal eventually scored on Addison Maruszak's ground out.
But before that point, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's strong pitching paved the path to a victory that brought the RailRiders to the brink of the .500 mark on the season at 7-8.
Nuno picked off Chris Rahl to finish the third inning and recorded all six of his strikeouts while breezing through the first five innings scoreless.
Meanwhile, Corban Joseph doubled home Maruszak in the bottom of the fifth for the game's first run, then scored on Zoilo Almonte's sacrifice fly to give the RailRiders a 2-0 lead.
Then Nuno ran into a little danger.
A walk and an error put two Syracuse runners on with one out, and Kobernus slammed a hard RBI single to left field to cut the RailRiders lead in half.
But Sam Demel came on to cut down the Chiefs comeback hopes.
The RailRiders right-handed reliever induced a foul pop with two on and two out in the sixth inning to finish that frame, then worked two pretty clean innings to get Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to the bottom of the eighth inning clinging to a 2-1 lead.
"The 2 1/3 innings he pitched were big innings for us," RailRiders manager Dave Miley said. "Nuno threw well, but Demel got some big outs for us."
Demel allowed just one baserunner during his time on the mound - when Zach Walters lined a one-out single to right field. But Demel recorded Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's second pickoff of the game, as Walters was tagged out after a long run-down.
Then Cody Eppley nailed down the RailRiders victory, getting a double-play grounder in the ninth inning and wrapping things up with a game-ending strikeout.
"It was a team effort," Nuno said.

Case: One source file has a comment in it that is directly linked to a comment in another source file (it says see line 315 in xxx.cs for more information). The problem with this approach is that the comment on line 315 may not be at that line number in the future. Is there a way to link comments together in an IDE? (currently using Visual Studio 2010, but use other IDEs from time to time)
You can try this addin (I haven't used this):
Besides this addin, the only thing I can think of is using a file link to directly go to the linked file; something like:
The link will be converted to an actual link that you can click using
The path can be a relative file path or a full file path - full paths work best if all team members use the same folder structure in the project. For example:
The only way to handle this is to put the comment in the same file. Duplicating a comment is not the same as duplicating code, although ideally the code wouldn't need too much explanation in comments.
There are many, many reasons why the comment being in another file will cause pain. As you have stated, the line number may change but also it could be deleted (as they won't know another comment references it), updated in a way that changes its meaning and it is annoying to have to open another file in any case.
Referring to a particular source file and line number is never a good idea, because someone might move things around in the other file without being aware that something is pointing at it. It's better to point at the particular type/method, for example
In Java, using Javadoc, you can use
I'm not sure about C# and Visual Studio, but it's likely that its XML-based doc format offers similar functionality.

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Various organisations of railway users in the State and adjoining Kanyakumari district of Tamil Nadu have put forward their demands to be included in the coming railway budget.
The All Kerala Railway Passengers Association has urged Railways to sanction a railway zone based in Kerala to speed up the development and to end the alleged neglect towards the State.
General secretary of the association Mathew Paul said the association had sought express trains to Hyderabad, Bangalore, Mumbai and Delhi, and more intra-State transport services to solve the problems faced by the short-distance passengers. The other demands include introduction of MEMU train services, the electrification of the railway sections and more unreserved coaches in the trains.
The Thrissur Railway Passengers Association has demanded electrification of the Shoranur-Mangalore railway line and budgetary support to complete doubling in the stretch. General Secretary of the association P. Krishna Kumar said the State should tap the Kannur-Mangalore -Hassan-Arsikere railway section for improving the connectivity to northern districts of the State.
The Kanyakumary District Railway User's Association has demanded extension of the 6603/6604 Mangalore-Thiruvananthapuram- Mangalore Maveli Expresses up to Kanyakumary or Nagercoil to cater to the needs of office-goers and students. It has been pointed out that three overnight express trains operate daily between Mangalore and Thiruvananthapuram.
Secretary of the association P. Edward Jeni demanded that steps be taken to expedite the doubling of the congested 87-km Thiruvananthapuram-Kanyakumary stretch. It is said that Railways could not introduce any new trains in the section as the line capacity is saturated.

LETTER TO DREW MUNSTER, CEO of Tennis Warehouse
Dear Sir,
I am a PTR certified coach and began assisting my NCAA coach in the mid nineties....What about donations? I work with at risk and disabled youth, through a non-profit organization that protects children exposed to poverty, violence, shootings, abuse and gang environments on a daily basis.
All of our kids get their food from the center. Several of the Juniors have attained top 20 California state rankings in the last few years.
I have been buying new racquets from TW since the days of ads in the back of tennis magazine in the early 90's...17 years, Mr. Munster, I have been your loyal client. the prince mono and yonex rd ti 70 came out when my parents were still alive, my Mom bought them from you.
What can TW do to give back to children to whom tennis, is literally a life saver? These kids never had a new pair of shoes in their entire life. Every pair of shoes came from the thrift store. Could you imagine what that was like???? anyone who wants to make a tax deductible contribution can contact me. I'd like for TW specifically to step up to the plate and do something great for these kids, though. Even a new racquet and pair of shoes to our top junior boy and girl would be like them winning the lottery. Please help us, we could use the support.
I agree. It would be nice if others in the business community would also provide assistance.
I applaud you for the work you do.
Our Teams Department now has a Twitter account. Follow them for the latest team news and discounts.
Have any team questions? Send them a tweet!
I will not use your stringing during racket purchase anymore.
There is a bad reputation among users (including me) that the stringing jobs aren't quality.
2/3 my rackets needed re-stringing much faster.

Start by visiting the Pyramids of Giza, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Get there as early as you can. Entry is USD 12 per person. The Sphinx nearby, with the body of a lion and the head of a king, is a mysterious marvel from the days of ancient Egypt. Carved from the bedrock of the Giza plateau, the Sphinx has come to symbolise strength and wisdom. Afterwards, why not take a camel ride in the desert? You can stop and drink tea at the top of the Giza plateau and enjoy the enchanting atmosphere. The ride costs approximately USD 21.
During the afternoon you can visit the Egyptian Museum. It features artefacts from the age of the Pharaohs and Greco-Roman period, including the mummies of ancient Egypt's kings and Tutankhamen's treasures (Entrance fee is USD 12). After this, you can have lunch in one of Cairo's most traditional restaurants, Felfela, located a few minutes away from the Museum and enjoy authentic Egyptian food in downtown Cairo.

Known as 'The Pearl of the Mediterranean', Alexandria is the second-largest city in Egypt and has an atmosphere that is more Mediterranean than Middle Eastern. Its ambience and cultural heritage distance it from the rest of the country, although it is only 225km from Cairo.
The word 'Giza' is thought to be of Arabic origin and means 'crossing'. It alludes to where the Nile was crossed at the time of the Arab conquests.
Pyramids of Giza
The three Pyramids were regarded by the Greeks as one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. A single Pyramid is built with 2,300,000 blocks, each weighing an average of two and a half tonnes.
It's advisable to carry a map of the hotel area and a card with the address and phone number of the hotel. You can get a map from the Concierge desk.

Moran's objections to BRAC move confirmed in new DoD IG report
Thursday - 12/1/2011, 10:04am EST
By Jolie Lee
Federal News Radio
The worsening traffic in northern Virginia is confirming Rep. Jim Moran's warnings about the Defense Department's decision to move 6,400 to the Mark Center in Alexandria, Va.
Moran (D-Va.) had objected the move that he said would further exacerbate traffic in the area. Now the Pentagon's inspector general is issuing a report this week concluding the Army used flawed traffic data to make its case for locating workers to complex along Interstate 395.
Rep. James Moran (D-Va.) (AP)
"We knew this was going to happen. The Army should've known this was going to happen," Moran said in an interview with Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Amy Morris.
The IG's report will be the sixth to show the Mark Center move will worsen traffic in the area. Moran said this report uses "conclusive data" and is the "most damning."
With less than half of the transfers completed in September, the Virginia Department of Transportation found that traffic flow has already been reduced to minimal acceptable standards.
"The most troubling thing is it didn't have to happen," Moran said.
He said most of the workers relocating to the new complex work in offices in Rosslyn and Crystal City, both with access to the Metro.
The mass move is part of the Base Realignment and Closure initiative to reorganize DoD's properties.
There is no turning back now from the relocation. "The building is somehow going to be occupied. There's a lot of blame to go around, but the fact it, it's there," Moran said.
To ease the potential traffic gridlock, Moran said he has introduced language in three pieces of legislation — including the defense authorization bill — to limit the parking spaces at the Mark Center to no more than 1,000. DoD's intent is to have 3,800 parking spots at the complex. Moran said he would be willing to compromise and limit the spaces to 2,000.
Moran also said employees should be encouraged to use ride-sharing, "so we don't have 90 percent of the people driving by themselves, which is currently the practice."
Without action, Moran said the traffic that is now at a "failing level of service" will only get worse. "People will look around and think, 'Why did anyone in their right mind allow this to happen?'"
The congressman said lawmakers have taken a hands-off approach to the Mark Center issue because they consider it "parochial." But timing is of the essence to pass legislation on the bill since all 6,400 will move to the Mark Center by year's end.
"We're now at the eleventh hour. It's now really 11:59," Moran said.

On February 22, the FTC announced that a mobile device manufacturer agreed to settle charges that it failed to employ reasonable and appropriate security practices in the design and customization of the software on its mobile devices. The settlement is the first of its kind obtained by the FTC. The FTC's complaint alleged that the manufacturer failed to (i) provide its engineering staff with adequate security training, (ii) review or test the software on its mobile devices for potential security vulnerabilities, (iii) follow well-known and commonly accepted secure coding practices, and (iv) establish a process for receiving and addressing vulnerability reports from third parties. The complaint further described several resulting vulnerabilities that allegedly compromised sensitive device functionality and could have permitted malicious applications to send text messages, record audio, and install additional malware onto a consumer's device. Such malware, according to the FTC, could be used to record and transmit information entered into or stored on the device. The settlement requires the device manufacturer to establish a comprehensive security program and deploy security patches to consumers' devices. The manufacturer also is prohibited from making any false or misleading statements about the security and privacy of consumers' data on its devices.

Man pleads guilty in Lake Charles kidnapping
A 39-year-old man has pleaded guilty to kidnapping his estranged, pregnant wife in October 2011.
Holly Carter, a spokeswoman for the Calcasieu Parish District Attorney's Office, tells the American Press (http://bit.ly/cseYHv) William Paul Morgan entered his plea Monday to charges of second-degree kidnapping and violation of a protective order.
Carter says Morgan was sentenced to 15 years in prison, with seven years suspended. Morgan, who has been imprisoned since the incident, will receive credit for time served.
Police say Morgan's wife was five months pregnant when he kidnapped her from her place of employment on Oct. 14, 2011.
He took her before noon and surrendered at the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office at 8 p.m. the same day.

Our President
Thanks for dropping by – let me get the professional-speak out of the way. I'm the owner of Level 343, an International Marketing and SEO copywriting company based in San Francisco, CA.
I've been working in marketing and content strategies for over 20 years. I've worked as a web developer, creative director, project manager and international consultant before opening our doors.
As an Italian citizen having grown up in the Middle East, I've always approached life, family and business differently. Granted, I've been in the US a lifetime, yet I see the gap in B2B including B2C when communicating globally. I don't follow very well, and that's probably why I don't approach projects (including life) conventionally.
I love sailing, my family, Nutella, pistachios and my friends…not necessarily in that order.
When I created this company, I wanted to find the thinkers, motivators and the team that wasn't afraid to try something new. The mission was simple; inspire our clients to achieve new heights in business. In the last 20 years, I've worked with some formidable professionals in the industry. I've learned a lot through the years, and I quickly discovered that the only way to grow was to find the right people. The A-team. Every person listed below (and on our International SEO audit page) has been an invaluable and integral part of what makes Level343 what it is today.

An Immunologic Investigation of Bisalbuminemia : A Genetically Transmitted Serum Protein Anomaly
Vertuno, Lee Stuart
MetadataShow full item record
The problem. Bisalbuminemia was investigated in an Iowa family by testing for hematological and immunologic abnormalities to determine associations between bisalbuminemia and connective tissue (collagen) and/or autoimmune diseases. Physiochemical properties of the anomalous albumin fraction were compared to normal serum albumin. Procedure. Cellulose acetate electrophoresis was used to determine the genotypes from which was established the genetic pedigree of the bisalbumin trait. Sera of family members was screened using the following tests: Complete blood count; sedimentation rate; hematocrit; antistreptolysin 0 titer; rheumatoid factor; LE preparation; VDRL; C-reactive protein and fluorescent anti-nuclear antibody analysis. Physiochemical characterization of the anomalous albumin fraction included an agar-gel diffusion study and measurement of the relative binding ability of normal and abnornal albumins using I125-thyroxine. Findings. Bisalbuminemia was found in seven of fourteen members of an Iowa family and was presumed to have been present in one deceased member of the family. The anomaly, transmitted as an autosomal codominant, was observed in the heterozygous state. The anomalous albumin fraction, albumin B, replaces one-half of the normal serum albumin and was found to be an albumin by agar-gel diffusion. Tests commonly associated with connective tissue and autoimmune diseases failed to show a relationship between the disease groups and bisalbuminemia. Addition of I125-thyroxine to bisalbumin sera resulted in excess thyroxine binding to albumin B with greater affinity than to normal albumin. Conclusions. The anomalous albumin B is assumed to be the result of a mutation of a gene responsible for the synthesis of normal serum albumin. The bisalbuminemia analyzed in this family study does not appear to be associated with the connective tissue and/or autoimmune diseases or any marked clinical abnormalities.

IES looks at performance pay
A new report by the Institute for Employment Studies critically examines why organisations choose to introduce team, skill or competency based pay.
What you will find in this report
The 87-page IES report comprises three research papers, each of which considers what benefits employers have found and the difficulties they have faced in operating three different types of performance pay:
IES looks at the evidence of whether many organisations are operating such remuneration tools, reviews the mechanics of how organisations operate these programmes and the sort of design decisions they have to make.
An introductory chapter examines the origins and thinking behind "new pay".

Cole thrilled with winning Liverpool debut
Joe Cole was delighted with a winning Liverpool debut against Rabotnicki last night.
The former Chelsea man was impressive in their 2-0 Europa League second-leg win.
"I loved it playing for Liverpool for the first time at Anfield," Cole told Liverpoolfc.tv. "It was another 90 minutes on my belt and I feel a bit stronger and I'm happy.
"It would have been nice to get a goal but the main thing was we won and we are happy with the way the team played. I'm just pleased to be a part of this great team. I really enjoyed this game. I prefer playing in a central role and playing alongside Stevie Gerrard is really enjoyable."
Cole also spoke of his desire to give the fans plenty to cheer about this season.
"It was nice to get that reception off the fans and they gave me a great welcome," he added. "It's always special to play at Anfield in front of the Kop. I just want to work hard for these supporters and try and make sure we get some good results for them.
"We know we've still got a lot to work on before our first game against Arsenal and we have got to come together and continue to improve.
"We've still got Fernando, Pepe and the other lads to come back so we will get even more stronger."

"What kind of 'ethics laws' prevent people from having information in front of them so they can ask reasonable questions?" asked Larry Winawer of the Alliance for Retired Americans. "I have never heard of such a thing."
Whatever. Ethics laws didn't stop Harris from passing around her own flyers telling how the economy was blossoming under Bush.
When the meeting was cut short, the standing-room-only crowd broke into boos. "We want our answers now," yelled a man in the rear.
Were the geezers getting it together? Probably not, but this is one group that could screw Bush big-time if they stopped acting like they were dead already.

Arroyo hit on hand by line drive in Reds' 7-2 loss
MAR 24, 2013 7:53p ET
SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) -- Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo left his start after getting hit on his pitching hand by David Murphy's line drive Sunday in Cincinnati's 7-2 loss to the Texas Rangers.
Preliminary X-rays detected no break. Arroyo allowed three runs and nine hits in 5 1-3 innings before being led off the field by a trainer.
Lance Berkman homered and drove in three runs for Texas, while Alexi Ogando pitched six scoreless innings.
Craig Gentry tripled in the first and scored on Berkman's sacrifice fly. Berkman's fourth-inning homer landed in the Rangers' bullpen beyond the right-field fence with Gentry aboard.
Ogando, set to be a starter this season after spending last year in the bullpen, limited the Reds to three hits. He walked one and struck out five, throwing 56 strikes in 82 pitches.

Dead2Me Call & Text Blocker
500,000 - 1,000,000 downloadsAdd this app to your listsTweets por @Appszoom
Kit Kat is still not supported. I am working on it.
Many users are reporting failures in Answer and Hangup Mode with HTC Handsets. I am working to resolve these issues, however, for now, it is very likely that Dead2Me will not work in Answer and Hangup Mode (unless you have a wired headset plugged into your phone at all times - and who on Earth has that).
The No Answer mode will work fine, but will allow callers to leave voicemails. The Text message blocking will work fine as long as you are using the stock Android text messaging app.
Dead2Me has two modes for call blocking, no answer and answer and hang up.
To let a user know they have been buried go to Settings -> Send Messages to Contact When and select Both.
To send a bounce back message when a buried caller tries to contact you go to Settings -> Message Frequency and select Every time I Block a Communication.
To customize a bounce back message for an individual caller go to Settings -> Enable Custom Messaging.
Then bury a caller or contact, go to the Graveyard and click on that caller's tombstone. Under the name and number you will see a box for a custom message for that caller.
Many users are reporting failures in Answer and Hangup Mode with HTC Handsets. I am working to resolve these issues.
Many third party text apps like Handcent and GoSMS interfere with Dead2Me. Despite settings in the latest releases of these apps that are supposed to make behave as specified in the Android documentation, the do not. Many people using these apps have been able to use Dead2Me, many have not.
Any problems with dead2me? Ideas on how to make it better? Got a phone it won't work on? Just let me know and I'll see what I can do. Contact me: email@example.com.

Fixed the bug with custom bury message. Now updating to a custom message will send that message upon blocking calls.
Fixed a bug where default values in settings were not getting set.
(62 stars)
Love the idea of this bc most blocking apps don't send a bounce back message and that person just thinks you are ignoring them. I want them to think I changed my number or something. I have no idea if it actually works though. Will you get a notification when a text is blocked? I do still want to see the texts I'm getting.

U.S. President Barack Obama said the country's unemployment rate could fall to eight per cent before he faces re-election next November.
The unemployment rate, currently at 8.6 percent, has not been at or below 8 per cent since he took office in January 2009 amid a global economic crisis.
In a "60 Minutes" interview to air Sunday night, the President was asked specifically whether he would get the rate back down to 8 percent before November's general election.
"I think it's possible," Mr. Obama said, according to excerpts of the interview provided by CBS. "But ... I'm not in the job of prognosticating on the economy. I'm in the job of putting in place the tools that allow the economy to thrive and Americans to succeed."
Mr. Obama said that he did not overpromise or underestimate the task of reviving the nation's economy, but it probably would extend beyond his presidency.
"I always believed that this was a long-term project," he said. "For individual Americans, who are struggling right now, they have every reason to be impatient. Reversing structural problems in our economy that have been building up for two decades, that was going to take time. It was going to take more than a year. It was going to take more than two years. It was going to take more than one term. Probably takes more than one president."
In the interview, Mr. Obama likened himself to a sea captain guiding a ship through a bad storm. So long as the boat is rocking and people are getting sick, he said, people will blame the captain.
"People are going to say, 'You know what? A good captain would have had us in some smooth waters and sunny skies, at this point,'" he said. "And I don't control the weather. What I can control are the policies we're putting in place to make a difference in people's lives."

text: The Associated PressCHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Most of the fatalities in the nation's coal mines in the last decade resulted from mine operators' failure to comply with safety rules, an analysis by the Sunday Gazette-Mail shows.The newspaper examined federal records of the deaths of 320 coal miners in 297 accidents nationwide between 1996 and 2005. Nearly nine out of 10 fatalities could have been avoided if mine operators had complied with safety rules, the newspaper reported Sunday.Mine operators failed to perform, or incorrectly performed, required safety checks in nearly one-fourth of the mining deaths during the period. Twenty-one percent of the fatalities resulted from violations of roof control, mine ventilation or other required safety plans.Mining equipment that was not maintained in safe working condition was involved in more than 25 percent of the fatal accidents. Miners received inadequate training or no training in more than 20 percent of the accidents, the newspaper reported."We haven't invented new ways to kill people," said Davitt McAteer, who was director of the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration during the Clinton administration. "People are dying because we haven't kept up with particular statutes and rules."Richard Stickler, the new MSHA chief, said earlier this year during his confirmation hearing that most mining deaths result from violations."This is really an outlaw industry," said Tony Oppegard, a mine safety expert and former regulator from Kentucky.During the same period, the median penalty paid by coal companies for a miner's death was $250, the Sunday Gazette-Mail reported.Mine safety problems entered the national spotlight this year after an explosion at the Sago Mine killed 12 miners and a blast at an eastern Kentucky mine killed five miners. But 286 of the 320 deaths that occurred during the last decade were single fatalities involving equipment or collapsed mine roofs, the newspaper reported.The industry's death toll this year is 43, the highest since 1995 when 47 miners were killed. Twenty-two of those deaths occurred in West Virginia.
