Siebenrock 1070 big bore touring kit
Dear all,
Been absent from extensive touring for a while & want to fix up my R100GS/PD sometime in the future. Aim- just reliable smooth good tourer
As a point of interest anybody got experience of an engine rebuild with the Siebenrock 1070 touring kit? the search engine on a couple of sights are a bit sparse..
I've built 2 and they were wonderful..the pieces were works of art from the manufacturer and the bike ran strong and smooth..I also had the entire top end balanced to a .1 of a gram so that helped.
Make sure to install new lifters, upgrade the exhaust system, have dual plugged heads, and consider a K&N.
That's a compete package that works very well for grunt work or cross country.
With all that extra grunt, a 5% higher top gear would be a good thing, and while you`re in there, a 5% lower first gear as well.
Yep got a Seibenrock, 1070cc 1996 R100GSPD, twin plugged, early model large valve RS heads, Large diameter headers & Y peice to standard rear muffler, Red Centre full electronic ignition system, 450 watt alternator, high output Diode board, 14.6 volt voltage regulator, Nippondenso Starter, 5% lower first gear, 5% higher top gear, oil proof Seibenrock clutch, R1100 clutch spring. Fully rebuildable Drive Shaft, 4 piston front brake.
Very sweet bike, very fast.
Dear all,
Thanks for the feedback.
Getting there..so far ( over many years):
Twin plugged & gas flowed
Moto Israel two into one exhaust with HPN baja ($$$!)
Longer 5th
450W Alternator
Thinking of getting sachs or siebenrock cluch
Other mods include:
Marzocchi fork inserts & Ohlns rear
Four calliper front brake
Local mechanic thinks I may have a bit of piston slap & valve wear but getting second opinion.
Bottom line, love the bike doubt going modern so considering rebuild for smooth use till I go grey..:evil
I have no expereince with nikisil big bore kits. I do have experience with iron lined big bore kits. They run great for a while. Then they start leaking oil for not enough gasket area at both the head and the case. It's miracle they don't blow a head gasket at their super then area between the cylinder stud hole and the bore. Then by around 20k miles the cylinder walls become very distorted for not being thick enough. Oil usage goes up and performance goes down. You can run a Sunnen hone done the cylinder and see that the bore is corrugated right in sync with the cylinder fins. It gets pretty ugly pretty fast. Our engines aren't the only ones that have had the bores taken out too far for their own good. Some people go there with about everything. BMW stopped at 94mm for a lot of good reasons IMO. They actually thought 94mm was too far and that is one of the reasons why they quit making 1000's for a while. I don't know from experience but I would think that super thin nikisil plated aluminum would distort a lot more that super thin iron or steel but . . . .
Better performance? I am all for more displacement. Consider your 980cc bike a hogged out 750 and look elsewhere for more performance. At 980cc's your engine is already a super short stroke engine for a two vavle hemi head at 1.33:1 bore to stroke ratio. 1.33:1 was THE limit for over squared engines for years mostly because you get to point of diminishing returns with a wide included valve angle and a super short stroke. They stopped there with their 450cc engine too. R65's have the exact same bore to stroke ratio as a R100.
The cylinder stud holes are in the exact same spot. They kinda have to be. Certainly the cylinder walls are thicker and the fins are shorter I would hope but I have serious doubts about them being thick enough. I know the cylinder walls aren't any thicker at all four cylinder stud holes down through the length of the cylinder. They couldn't be unless you got a different case too. It's the same case. It's apples and apples.
My 1070 kit is fine after only 10000 miles or so, these kits have been around for many years now and I have never seen any chatter on the Internet that indicated that there is a problem. A new casting for the cylinders is very different than just fitting a liner to an existing cylinder as that used to be done with the old 1050 kits using venola pistons.
The Seibenrock kit in includes new longer conrods and a very nicer assymetrical cam and the components work very well together. It's not cheap though
Response was poor regarding the number of answers.
However, content of responses was positive through all posts.
Mileage varied between 10,000 miles (Siebenrock BBK) an 100,000 miles (HPN 97mm or others).
No problems reported.
I'm wondering why gasket surface should have decreased with bigger bore.
The head gaskets don't use the whole surface, just a small rim around the bore.
And at the cylinder base the surface is the same.
Or am I missing something?
I've bought spare gaskets for my 1043, so far they are still not used :evil
The only downside to the Seibenrock kits is the cost of the gaskets around £40 each......I assume that the orange lines on the gaskets are a compound that help to seal the gaskets?

Most noticeably, though, the latest update to Swipes refreshes the app's design to better match the look and feel of iOS 7. It also adds new backgrounds to get you moving through your day.
Of course, the update also includes the obligatory round of bug fixes, along with some usability enhancements.
Optimized for iPhone and iPod touch running iOS 6.0 or later, the new version of Swipes is available now in the App Store for free.
As it happens, the new version of Swipes also sees the introduction of Swipes Plus. Swipes Plus is Swipes' subscription service that offers access to the following premium features:

2012 Board Election
2012 Candidate Statements for Board of Directors
The election will take place at the Annual Meeting on Tues, May 22. Members can nominate themselves at the meeting.
Aram Donabedian
I grew up in Toledo, Ohio and graduated from Oberlin College in 2002 with a bachelor's degree in history. Upon graduation, I departed for a two year post-bachtoral fellowship in India. I spent 2002-2004 in Madurai, India teaching English to students with ambulatory disabilities and running an International Student Center at the American College of Madurai. Following my fellowship, I moved to Madison where I worked as a political/union organizer from 2004 through 2006. Subsequent to my organizing positions I received my Wisconsin teaching license and proceeded to work for the Vera Court Neighborhood as an administrator and director of academic programming for the RISE program, which seeks to provide academic empowerment to students form low socio-economic backgrounds. For the last three years I have been working in the Mount Horeb Area School District where I coordinate academic services for at-risk high school students.
I am no expert in alternative currency but I do have a dearth of experiences which contribute to my understanding of the concept. While studying for my teaching license, I worked at Mother Fool's Coffee House where first I became acquainted with Madison Hours. I periodically chose to take a portion of my take home pay in Madison Hours instead of US currency. I also sat for two year on the Time Bank's Northside Kitchen Cabinet where I helped plan events and provided advisory assistance. I chose to vacate this position when I resigned from my role at Vera Court Neighborhood Center and accepted a teaching job in Mount Horeb. However, I still maintain a Time Bank account and keep abreast of Time Bank events. Additionally, I have been a long time participant in cooperative movements. At Oberlin I was a member of Oberlin Student Cooperative Association (OSCA) and here in Madison I lived at International Coop which is part of MCC. These experiences helped me cultivate alternative views of societal organizations and exposed me to the consensus model of decision making.
While living in India I also had a variety of experiences which impacted my world view regarding monetary justice. In 2001 I conducted fieldwork in the Kolar region of Karnataka where I worked with gold miners who were organizing a syndical takeover of several gold mines which had been earmarked disinvestment by the federal government. I witnessed economic (and environmental) devastation first hand and understand the long-term consequences associated with these issues. I also spent a summer interning on an organic farm outside Bangalore, India where I did day labor in the fields with low caste peasants, which has given me a unique perspective on traditional labor patterns; their benefits and draw backs. I have spent much of my adult life working with marginalized communities who tend to be the most vulnerable in terms of economic instability. These are same communities who traditionally benefit most from alternative currencies during time of crisis.
I would be honored to serve on the board of Madison hours during this period of economic uncertainty. I am eager to work collaboratively with other board members to bring new ideas to fruition and to make suggestions of my own. I would of course like to see the Madison Hours network expanded to include more business but I have other ideas I would like to explore as well. I would also like to integrate more CSA's and farmers markets into the Hours community to help reinforce our community's food security prior to potential disruption of more main stream food distribution networks. Health Care is also a serious concern for me. I would like to explore the idea of expanding alternative currency into the realm of health services. With the cost of care skyrocketing and with millions of Americans going without insurance medical assistance is becoming increasingly out of reach for too many members of the community. Thank you for considering my application.
Mary Girard
My interest in Madison Hours, as well as DCTB is that I would like t see a word where there is increasing participation of non profit organizations and other groups in this alternative economy. In the current economic environment, organizations are finding that the financial support that they have become increasingly dependent on is not reliable for supporting and sustaining their mission. Increasingly human resources have been tapped into through volunteerism. Mutual exchange takes volunteerism to a new level and opens an untapped world of resources. I would like to help identify what the barriers are to tapping in to these resources and figure out how to bridge the gaps by increasing engagement of Organizations and group with DCTB and MH together.
Jon Hain
Madison Hours has great potential to build strong economic relationships that are inherently supportive of the local economy. As a founding member of the Hours system, I have always been primarily interested in how we can use local currency, mutual credit, barter, cooperative business models, etc to bring about a higher level of security in our community. I am especially excited to see that there is growing interest in these issues as the Great Recession rolls on and Occupy and other activists continue to educate the public and themselves. We are in the midst of a great societal transition and I'm looking forward to expanding the Hours system to meet more peoples' needs. I am also excited to engage more with the Dane County Timebank. We have great resources in Madison and are better situated than many cities to navigate the changing economy. Local currency has a role to play. I respectfully ask for your vote for another term on the Board of Directors.
Rob McClure
In my several terms on the Board I've channeled my energy in many directions -- writing, speaking, doing outreach to the local community, consulting with other communities interested in starting currency systems, participating in reading sessions and study groups, organizing the monthly pancake breakfast fundraisers. All these activities meant proselytizing on behalf of community control of our exchange media, which has been quite satisfying to me.
Nevertheless, Madison Hours has never achieved its potential but I'm enthused that through increasing interconnection with the Timebank and the deployment of electronic trade capacity it might regain momentum toward significantly supplementing/displacing the dollar economy in the Dane County region. Another term on the Board would allow me to work toward seeing that happen.
Stephanie Rearick
I was on the planning team that launched Madison Hours in 1996. After the currency was launched I helped a lot with outreach. After a few years I left Madison Hours - but have remained a member with degrees of activity varying from none to some over the years - to pursue other things. In 2004 I learned about timebanking and other forms of mutual credit and became convinced that mutual credit held an important key to creating economic democracy and cooperative social dynamics. I began focusing on this area of work, attending conferences and trainings and launching and directing the Dane County TimeBank. I continue to work as DCTB Director while also coordinating Time For the World, a project to experiment, improve on, learn and share resources and learning among economically cooperative community projects. DCTB and Madison Hours have made an agreement to work together to create a more comprehensive and coherent cooperative economic system here in our region. I will be working on this problem in earnest in my role with DCTB and TFTW and it makes sense to me to step into this role of responsibility to Madison Hours also. My experience, contacts and learning in the field of complementary currencies and cooperative economics will help provide the tools we need to create a strong and thriving system.

The best songs about California
California. They call it the Golden State. Yeah, I actually thought it was the "sunshine state", but I looked it up and it's not. Florida is the Sunshine State.
Anyway, with the release of the recent Katy Perry single, California Gurls, I got to thinking about the various songs about California that I know. I've come up with eight that I know and love:
California Love - 2Pac and Dr Dre
Gotta love this smooth collaboration between 2Pac and Dr. Dre that has them playing dress-up as post-apocalyptic gang members.
California Dreamin' - The Mamas and the Papas
Alternatively attributed to the Beach Boys, the Mamas and Papas version is my absolute favourite - folksy and sung in a spaced out dreamy manner. You'll love this.
California Girls - The Beach Boys
Almost an essential, even though I'm not particularly a fan of the tune myself. I probably prefer the hideous Dave Lee Roth remake that he did in the 80's.
California Gurls - [[Katy Perry]]
No video available for this one, at least none I can embed for your viewing pleasure! Apologies, everybody! But for sheer summery pop pleasure, Perry's tune is definitely worth a listen.
California - Joni Mitchell
A fond folksy testament to the state from Joni Mitchell, probably with one of her wacky guitar tunings. From her seminal Blue album, one of my own personal favourite Joni songs...
Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Anthony Kiedis and his bare-chested chums give us their take on celebrity culture courtesy of Californication. "Space may be the final frontier, but it's made in a Hollywood basement..."
Hotel California - The Eagles
You can debate the satanic messages in this song until the cows come home. Don Henley says it's all about commercialism and art being uneasy bedfellows. Good enough for me, it's one of the all-time classic rock songs.
Going To California - [[Led Zeppelin]]
How could I forget the Zeppelin? [[Robert Planet]] supposedly took the inspiration for this song from Joni Mitchell, whose music he was briefly obsessed by in the 70's. An amazing open guitar tuning from [[Jimmy Page]] and fantastic hippy-inspired lyrics mean this song will take you right back to that era. Even if you weren't there in the first place!
Now, my favourite part of these "songs about" posts - it's over to you lot. Can you suggest other songs about California? Though I've been very literal and chosen songs with California in the title, you might want to consider some of the cities in California, like Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and others.

Being a pop music lover...
Being a pop music lover - I'd be drawn to Katy Perry's song 'California Gurls', it's got a great little video to accompany it too. :)
Thu, 06/24/2010 - 22:45
Phantom Planet and Dani California
I know you haven't been crazy about Red Hot Chili Peppers more recent material, Gerard, but I think Dani California deserves a mention. That was the Summer song of 2006 for me. It doesn't beat Californication though or its brilliant video. Did you ever notice RCHP make the most irrelevant videos that have nothing to do with the lyrics of their songs.
You also forgot one of the most iconic California songs of the 2000s. California by Phantom Planet, better known as the theme tune to The O.C.. Even if you didn't watch the show, everyone knows that song.
California Flight by California Flight Project
The true sneaker song about California . The song is called: California Flight
By Jerry J & California Flight Project. HOT!!
They burst on the music scene of just recent got 2 Grammy nod's for the 53rd Grammy 2010-11 and before 2008-09 for one of the Best R&B LP category.
Now for one of the Best R&B Song of the year and another for one of the Best R&B Male vocals in a duo or group category.
The song its over 30 years ole. And It sounds so good is like they just release it yesterday. Well they did ,loll, funny how times fly,loll always on time.
They have that classic song about the bay area ,southern California and the state of California .Its a breezy, laid back smooth funk soulful cut takes you for a ride on interstate #5 on a classic summer California Flight. I love it. U will too Its raw and rare vintage sounds. California Flight Project have the best Funk/Soul song about California. California Flight.

Jeffrey Steeves
Master Teacher Award - Fall 2007
Professor Jeffrey Steeves is the quintessential teacher-scholar who combines strong research and scholarship with classroom teaching that is dynamic, compelling, evocative, and inspirational, and that facilitates independent thinking and inquiry, and a deepening of human understanding.
Professor Steeves's academic record speaks for itself, as he has published in highly regarded international and comparative journals such as The Journal of Commonwealth and Comparative Politics. His main field of research is comparative government and politics in Africa and South Asia and his scholarship has focused on democracy and the politics of decentralization and ethnicity. He has conducted much field research in both Africa and South Asia, and he has continually used his findings and experiences to enrich and deepen the content of his lectures and seminars, as his students have testified at length.
Professor Steeves's teaching has been widely recognized by students and faculty at the University of Saskatchewan and beyond. He was nominated three times for the University of Saskatchewan Students' Union Teaching Excellence Award, in 1995, 2000 and 2005, and in 2002 he achieved the distinction of being awarded the College of Arts and Science's Teaching Excellence Award. In 2001 and 2002 he was also recognized by the Maclean's Annual Survey of Canadian Universities as one of the best teachers at the University of Saskatchewan.
Students consistently draw attention to Professor Steeves's remarkable capacity to spark attentiveness and stimulate interest, his mastery of his subject, his extraordinary energy, the currency of his material, his genuine concern for the well-being of his students, his striking rapport with students, and his wide-ranging knowledge. His course evaluations over the years bear a remarkable testimony not only to his capacity to inspire students but the significant impact that he has had on their academic and professional lives.
In a letter written in support of Professor Steeves's nomination for the Master Teacher Award, a former student captured the essence of this remarkable colleague's gifts:
"Without a doubt, Professor Steeves was the best professor I have ever had, and he is truly an inspiration to me. He was so much more than a university teacher, he was a guide and mentor and I am indebted to him for the path of life I chose.
What struck me most about Dr. Steeves class was that he taught more than just politics and theory; he taught how ideas were more important than papers, people more important than theory, and how dedication, kindness and humour can truly play an important role in politics and the world. Most importantly he taught me the value of continuous learning, not for the sake a degree or certificate, but for the sheer passion of it".

With my Job, I currently work from home in New Zealand, for a firm Zipline Interactive in the States. I use chat and email to talk with the office, but also have a Linksys SPA942 IP Phone. It connects to an asterisk server provided by Limelyte Technology. Considering how shit my internet here in NZ is and the price i get ripped of paying for it, the phone works bloody well. I just spent over an hour talking to a client, going over the job I am doing for him, all the time viewing the pages I was explaining, sending an email or two, and chatting on my IM.
I have a friend who yesterday got the same phone, So last night while my NZ Server was the unlucky recipient of a DoS Attack we spent a good couple of hours chatting over the phone working on resolving the issues, calling the two ISP's involved, swearing and sharing porn links, I noticed the whole time the phone's traffic was constantly less that 4kb, which is nothing.
We set about trying to customize some of the settings the SPA942 has.
Firstly: My SPA has four lines. I have 2 set up for my Zipline VoIP Server, And two for My New Zealand VoIP server. Being both Arron and I have the same phone we wanted to find out "Can I transfer a call from my NZ VoIP Service to my US VoIP?"
I have a cousin Near New York currently being a leader for one of those CampUSA type adventures. It sounds fun, but we miss him and I'm sure his family do also. So why have I mentioned Ed? cause he can call my US number, which rings my phone here in NZ, Then I can transfer him to my NZ line, then transfer his call to his parents and my other cousin who we are both close to.
So, Arron and I tried, called from either server, on different lines and transferred the call to the other voip line/server. It wouldn't work? It would keep dropping the line. It appears that the two servers didn't want to play….
But, all is not lost! These phones have Conference Call! and that works, and works well.
1) Make the first call.
2) Press hold, Call the second call.
3) Press 'CONF' and select your first caller.
Secondly: Add a your BMP logo as a wallpaper:
This takes a little but of fiddling to get right, Solid colour bold text works the best.
I will explain how to do this in photoshop, and this is how it was explained to me, and all that i knew how to use.
1) Open Photoshop and create a new document. Create the document 128px x 48px, then set the Colour Mode to Bitmap 1bit.
2) Open or create your logo in a different window, resize it so the maximum length will fix in the bitmap image. Copy it in to your bitmap and save it to your computer.
3) To allow your phone to use the Image you need to upload it to a web server, and then log in to your phones web interface. To find your Phone's IP if you don;t know it. Press the "Menu" button, scroll down to "Network" ( or press 9 ), You will see your Phones DHCP IP there. In my case it is 10.0.0.9 ( If your network is not running DHCP, scroll down to "Non DHCP IP Address" ( or press 8 ).
Open your favorite web browser, today is Safari and navigate to "http://10.0.0.9″, This will bring you to your phone settings, Click "Advanced" on the top right, then the "Phone" tab.
Now enter your http Image path as below:
I havn't managed to add my own ring tones as of yet, So if any one can help me with that, I would really appreciate your help!

Latest News
HepcoMotion® is a highly successful British company that exports its linear motion products across the world. Bearings and other turned parts are critical elements of these systems and to ensure consistent quality and supply, the company makes its own.
Braintree Precision Components – BPC – is the HepcoMotion® Group company responsible for this activity and it is now reaping the benefit of substantial new investment in both its manufacturing technology and workforce. The company's factory is on the Springwood Industrial Estate in Braintree.
BPC is an acknowledged expert in its field with ISO 9001 quality accreditation in its own right. Using the latest manufacturing technology, it produces more than 80,000 components per month for HepcoMotion® linear motion systems. The application scope of the end products is vast, from micron-accurate positioning through to arduous handling.
The first six months of the year for the Group has been confirmed as its best ever in its 42 years of trading. And this growth has prompted investment of more than £1.5 million in capital equipment to absorb increased demand. Both BPC in Braintree and the HepcoMotion® manufacturing site in Tiverton will share this budget.
The manufacture of journals and rings at BPC will be supported by new lathes. Additional boring and grinding machines will also be commissioned in the coming months.
Over the years the HepcoMotion® Group has augmented its skilled workforce through the National Apprenticeship Scheme and 2011 is no exception in that regard. What is significant, however, is the size of this year's intake. Not since 1998, has the company committed to six new apprentices but that is the number that has just been recruited.
Of the six, two have been assigned to BPC. "The scheme has proved a highly successful method of both overcoming a national skills shortage and ensuring our young engineers receive the training that is attuned to our specific design and production needs," confirmed Group Training Manager, Bob Gregory.
In addition to the two new apprentices Billy Livermore and Adam Hearn, BPC is also pleased to welcome new additions to its management team. David Ford has been appointed General Manager, replacing Brian Weavers who retired earlier this year following 21 years of service. Also new to the company is Kenneth Mendes who takes on the vital role of Quality Manager.< BACK HEP\442

VATICAN CITY — In giving priority to Gregorian chant and to classical liturgical music, the Catholic Church is showcasing a tradition of beautiful prayer, Pope Benedict wrote.
Music at Mass should reflect the fact that the liturgy "is primarily the action of God through the Church, which has its history, its rich tradition and its creativity," the pope said.

VANCOUVER — The producer of the 2006 pro-life movie Bella says the thing that makes him happiest about the film's success is that it saved the lives of more than 500 unborn children.
"Our goal when we made Bella was to know the name of just one baby in 10 years who was alive because their mother chose life (because of) our film," said Jason Jones.
VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict has invited Christians to join online social networks in order to spread the Gospel through digital media and discover "an entirely new world of potential friendships."
At the same time, the pope warned of the limits and the dangers of digital communication, including the risks of constructing a false online image and of replacing direct human contact with virtual relationships.
VATICAN CITY - New evangelization means finding the most effective ways to proclaim the Gospel to a world that is either too distracted or too blind to see the divine, Pope Benedict said.
Today's spiritual crisis is marked by people excluding God from their lives, "generalized indifference" toward Christianity and stringently pushing faith from the public to the private sphere, he said.
VANCOUVER — If you became too ill to speak or were in an accident and were rendered unconscious and admitted to hospital, how would anyone know that you were a Catholic and that you want a priest called?
The Catholic Health Association of B.C. has answered this question by creating an ID card which easily fits into a wallet and clearly states "I Am Catholic."
VANCOUVER — In the presence of family, friends, and brother priests, Franciscan Father Jean-Pierre Ducharme received his priestly ordination from Archbishop Michael Miller at Holy Rosary Cathedral May 14.
"Our hearts are full of gratitude and praise to God that he has chosen this man to be a priest of Jesus Christ," Miller said in his homily.

At his weekly general audience May 25, Pope Benedict said God's blessing cannot be won by force but rather "must be received with humility from him."

The visitor stands were packed with Bearcat fans, anxious to see how the team would respond with new coaching staff and 47 players. On the opening kick off, the Bearcats took control of the ball and marched down the field, scoring a touchdown right off the bat with Junior Lucas Austin (#34) running up the middle. Senior Tanner Brown (#12) kicked the extra point and the score was 7 to 0. The Bulldogs tried to prevail against the Bearcats, but the defense held strong.

"Today Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become a popular initiative for corporates. But how ingrained and embedded is it in the business or the corporate? Many years ago Tata's vision was to build a world-class city to house their workers even as they built the first Indian owned steel plant in the middle of nowhere. And so Jamshedpur was born and continues to run as a model city, sustainable because it is embedded in the business.
Over the last few years, corporate social responsibility (CSR) has assumed centre stage with an increasing number of companies focusing on it in a bid to enhance their image as credible corporate citizens. This was relatively easy prior to the financial crisis when companies were making record profits, and needed to show a humane side. The real challenge, however , lies now when the going is tough and profits need to be ploughed back into business. It is at times like these, when every penny is being watched, when businesses are required to re-invest every rupee back in the business that the management, board of directors and investors are likely to question the reason behind spends that they term unnecessary. So how important is CSR"

Study linking genetically modified corn to cancer leads French government to call for investigation
By End the Lie
To those who are familiar with genetically modified (GM) crops, also known as genetically modified organisms (GMOs), or genetically engineered (GE) crops, it probably isn't all that surprising to learn that a study linked GM corn to cancer.
This is especially true when one looks at the many dangers associated with the various GM crops as established by rigorous scientific research.
Members of the French government stated on September 19, 2012 that they asked the National Agency for Health Safety (ANSES) to investigate the findings of the study which linked cancer in rats to genetically modified corn.
The most exciting aspect of this is that, according to a joint statement issued by Agriculture Minister Stephane Le Foll, Ecology Minister Delphine Batho and Health and Social Affairs Minister Marisol Touraine, it could very well lead to a suspension of the use of GM corn in the European Union.
Meanwhile, in the United States, an amendment blocked the ability for states to demand the labeling of GMOs and Monsanto actually threatened to sue the entire state of Vermont for pursuing GMO labeling initiatives.
"Depending on ANSES' opinion, the government will urge the European authorities to take all necessary measures to protect human and animal health," Le Foll, Batho and Touraine said in a joint statement according to AFP.
"[The measures] could go as far as invoking emergency suspension of imports of NK603 corn to Europe pending a re-examination of this product on the basis of enhanced assessment method," they added.
The study being referred to was carried out by French scientists at the University of Caen in Normandy led by Gilles-Eric Seralini and published in the peer-reviewed journal Food and Chemical Toxicology.
In the study the researchers fed rats NK603 corn, which is Monsanto's Roundup Ready corn, the same corn which has been linked to other horrific health effects (see above-linked articles).
Keep in mind, "Roundup Ready" means that the corn can actually absorb the otherwise deadly toxin and still live while the surrounding non-Roundup Ready plants die.
Roundup now can be found far and wide with the main ingredient even showing up in the urine of city dwellers, ground water, air, rain and streams.
The scientists found that when rats were fed with NK603 corn or exposed to Roundup, the herbicide used with NK603 corn, they developed tumors.
GM crops and Monsanto crops specifically are grown around the world with large concentrations in North America, especially the United States along with Brazil, China and India, while GMOs continue to be a contentious issue in Europe.
Farmers in some countries are fighting back, including dozens of Argentinean farmers who banded together in order to sue Monsanto and the tobacco companies and hopefully this study will provide them with additional support in their quest for justice.
This particular study was the first to observe rats over the entire period of their normal lifespan of two years and thus the first to investigate the impact of exposure to GMOs over the long term.
"For the first time ever, a GM organism and a herbicide have been evaluated for their long-term impact on health, and more thoroughly than by governments or the industry," Seralini told AFP. "The results are alarming."
The study utilized two hundred male and female rats split into 10 groups of 10 rats with one control group given regular rat foot containing 33% non-GM corn and water.
Three groups were given regular rat food and water with varying doses of Roundup which reflected the concentrations of the herbicide found in various levels of the food chain.
The remaining six groups were fed rat food containing 11, 22 or 33% NK603 corn some of which was treated with Roundup while being grown.
One of the more troubling findings of the study was that NK603 and Roundup both resulted in similar damage to the health of the rats regardless of if they were consumed together or separately.
Premature deaths and various illnesses were especially prevalent among female rats which began to show tumor growth in 10-30% of the treated female rats at the 14th month of the experiment.
"By the beginning of the 24th month, 50-80 percent of female animals had developed tumors in all treated groups, with up to three tumors per animal, whereas only 30 percent of controls were affected," the study stated.
Male rats suffered from digestive problems, liver damage and the development of kidney and skin tumors.
According to AFP, the researchers allowed a selected group of reporters to have access to the study before publication so long as they signed a confidentiality agreement preventing them from consulting other experts about the research before it was published.
The French unit of Monsanto wouldn't give any detailed comments because they said they haven't evaluated the paper yet.
"It is too soon to make a serious comment because we have to evaluate the study. As soon as it is available, our experts will look closely at it to give their scientific assessment," they stated.
However, Monsanto is likely optimistic about being able to marginalize or minimize the study since they claim that "more than 300 peer-reviewed studies" have found that GM food was safe.
While the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) determined in 2009 that NK603 was "as safe as conventional maize," NK603 can only be imported into the European Union and cannot actually be grown in Europe.
"Maize NK603 and derived products are unlikely to have any adverse effect on human and animal health in the context of the intended uses," the EFSA panel said based partly on a 90-day feeding study on rats.
While NK603 cannot be grown in Europe, Monsanto's MON810 transgenic corn and Amflora, a GM potato made by BASF, are actually allowed.
Nonetheless, many individual countries including Austria, Bulgaria, France, Greece, Hungary, Luxembourg and Romania have outlawed the growing of MON810 on their national soil.
Hopefully the United States and other Western nations will begin to pay attention and start more intensely scrutinizing GMOs and their effects. After all, we're not talking about a problem which could be easily reversed or mitigated once it has really taken root, no pun intended.

EFSA's routine fiascoReply
Dave Truman October 10, 2012 at 5:00 AM
The pressure is being piled on now in Britain for GM to gain approval. This study has received absolutely zero coverage in the mainstream media. We were told this morning by the Ministry of Information (aka BBC) that food price rises of 40% are in the pipeline because of the poor harvest world-wide.
An interview with an "expert", and former adviser on food to Tony Blair, Lord Haskins this morning reinforced the message that the only way forward was to adopt GM technology and to stop "science" being hijacked by fringe interest groups opposed to the solution that GM so obviously is.Reply

EVERYTHING can be linked to cancer and causing cancer in one form or another. Get over yourselves and find something wothwhile to gripe about please.Reply

Update: April 5, 2010 - "Moodio.fm" was recently rebranded "Yourmuze.FM". I just did a search and replace of "Moodio" to "Yourmuze" to update this blog entry. While the Blackberry screenshots below are now out of date, all of the information below still correct. Also, CBC now offers streaming MP3; even so, I usually still use Yourmuze to stream it to my phone over 3G. Hit me up on Twitter at @shawnrouse if you have any questions.
I felt a bit left out lately when CBC introduced a new iPhone application, which lets iPhone owners listen to live CBC Radio. It works great for iPod Touch too, but only if you are in range of an open Wi-fi access point. For users like me who own a BlackBerry, no love (for now, I heard a rumour that an app is coming soon).
Not satisfied with that answer, I scoured the web looking for a BlackBerry app that could play the live CBC radio ASX/ASF streams. After hours of searching, I couldn't find any app (either free or commercial) that filled the bill. But, I did finally get pointed towards a web site called Yourmuze.fm.
Yourmuze's web site says:
"Yourmuze.FM gives you the freedom to enjoy any internet radio stream anywhere you go. Simply add your favourite radio stations to your personal "My Stations" list and you're ready to listen to them on your mobile. Sign up and try. It's free! Enjoy!
Using Yourmuze.FM is very simple:
1. Create an account.
2. Add your favourite radio stations to your "My Stations" list.
3. Browse to m.yourmuze.fm on your mobile phone, log in and listen to one of your favourite stations."
The Yourmuze.fm site.
"Well, this sounds too easy", I'm thinking, "and even if this works there's no way they'd have my stations on there." Well, I'm glad to say I was wrong. It's super-easy, works great and it had my local CBC station in Saint John! I followed the instructions and created an account. Then, I navigated to a screen where I picked my stations. I picked my CBC Saint John feed, and 97.3 The Wave.
I found my two favourite local stations amongst the vast selection in no time at all.
I switched to my BlackBerry, and using the BlackBerry Browser I surfed to the mobile site specified by Yourmuze - m.Yourmuze.fm. I logged in using the credentials that I set up on the web, and I was presented with my radio choices.
The Yourmuze mobile site, before and after login.
I clicked on the link for "CBC Radio One Saint John", and the BlackBerry Media Player opens.
The next part a bit odd - you hear a ringing sound, like you are calling someone on the phone. This is Moodio's quirky way of telling you that you are connecting (yes, seriously). No worries, it's harmless. (Yourmuze.FM now no longer plays this ringback OGG.) Within a few seconds, you'll start to hear your local radio station streaming live.
BlackBerry Media Player streaming live, local radio from CBC in Saint John.
Presto! Local radio on your BlackBerry. One word of caution: Take heed of this warning on the Yourmuze site:
"Please be aware that listening to radio on the internet means you will be downloading a lot of (audio) data. If you don't have a 'flat fee' or 'unlimited download' subscription with your mobile operator, this can become very expensive."

After our first break we continue tp wind our way up the valley past the Bush Arm.
We want to check out the low water crossing, to see if it's fesible to ride some of the logging roads on the other side of the arm.
If you look over the fly screen you can see the road on the other side of the lake, and if you squint you can see the ford under the water. With the limited visiblility and the high gearing on the Dakar I decided not to attempt the crossing. With a quad I might have given it a shot.
We contuine up the valley to find a place for lunch. It was hard to make a choice.
Until we saw this cliff with a road to the top
The road proved to be a little tougher going then we thought
But a short hike gave us this veiw of our day's destination

College and University programs help Hmong refugee succeed
CEHD freshman Kaoxue Vang has come a long way, literally, to be a University of Minnesota student--and she had help from several college and University programs along the way. Vang was recently featured in a Minnesota Daily story about her journey.
Seven years ago, Vang barely knew any English, having just arrived in this country from Thailand. Now she is tutoring other students. During that extraordinary transition, Vang received support from staff at the University's Center for Urban and Regional Affairs, including weekly tutoring sessions at the Humphrey School for Hmong youth. By the time she reached college age, Vang earned admission to the University through TRiO, a federal program housed in CEHD that supports students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Heidi Barajas, CEHD associate dean and executive director of the Urban Research and Outreach-Engagement Center, is an expert on issues of equity and access to education and has observed Vang as part of a research project about Hmong student success.
Barajas said Vang quickly realized the key to educational success for any student. "One thing I'll say about anybody successful in education is that they're able to seek out support," Barajas said in the story. "In [Vang's] case, she had a lot of support and knew where to go for help."
Vang's story was also featured recently on Minnesota Public Radio:

Living in the wake of violence strikes dread uncertainty in the minds of those proceeding it. The past, its causes and its tensions, reverberate in the survivors' lives and unsettle them. If there is a murder, they feel connected to it. They worry, and their minds wonder if death will reignite the fires that kept alive the feud that lasted for so long. The cessation of violence, they think, may prove to be only a pause. One wrong look or one spiteful word could bring back centuries of strife and trouble.
In this way, in the time following an old feud, the gap that separates two factions is preserved, like a canyon that remains after the bridge across it has been built. Those who first walk across the bridge do not know what to expect as they leave to meet their rivals, nor do they know if their rivals can be trusted. They walk out alone. They look back from where they came and they look up, holding their heads to the sky with dignity, projecting the confidence that assures themselves as well as their rivals they are sound and their intentions are pure.
It is this moment that Gavin Corbett articulates in his second novel, This Is The Way. The Irish novelist looks into the life of a twenty-two year old, Anthony Sonaghan, as he moves away from his family home. He leaves behind its traditions, its beliefs, its taboos, and its myths to cross the bridge between the feuding clans of Sonaghans and Gillaroos.
But his journey is interrupted. As he arrives in a Gillaroo town he is threatened. So, frightened and expelled, he travels for Dublin. There, in a quiet, ramshackle tenement near the center of the modern city, away from the country, bored and mostly alone, Anthony Sonaghan looks behind him. He looks back and recalls his family's place within the ancient feud. He tries to define their role in that drama. But also he looks up and searches for a purpose to their conflict, a meaning. He grasps for the transcendental hooks of fate and understanding to settle it in his mind.
Within the drama of the Sonaghans and the Gillaroos, Anthony and his siblings are unique. They are the first offspring in centuries to come from both clans and they are beset with the problems attendant on belonging indefinitely to the two worlds. Anthony's brother, Aaron Sonaghan, is threatened by Gillaroos to a fight. His father, Aubrey Sonaghan, a boxer and the peacemaker who first united the two clans by marrying a Gillaroo, forbids him, saying that Aaron will lose his boxing license if he does. But Aaron disobeys and fights the Gillaroo boys only to be stripped of his license, just as his father predicted. The resulting feelings of purposelessness and shame, doubled by his father's anger, depress him and lead him to suicide.
Margarita, Anthony's oldest sister, married young and left home for the west. No one sees or hears from her. She's left both families to live a new life with her husband. Anthony's younger sister Beggy lives in a suburb outside of London with their mother Kate, who fled home when Aubrey began to beat her. Having tried to make peace between the two clans and to improve his family's lot, Aubrey moved them to a new town to live a life that he hoped would be better for them. But disappointments led first to frustration and then to shame and by the end of the novel to God.
Perhaps the greatest tragedy of this family's dispersion lies with Kate Sonaghan, née Gillaroo. Unable to find a home in Ireland, she and Beggy abandoned the Sonaghans and the Gillaroos for London, though she, more than any other member of the two families, seems most capable of making peace between them.
Anthony recalls a moment from his childhood when one night his mother told him and his siblings the mythical origin of the feud. Centuries ago, she says, the two families were happy groups of fish living in one pond in a farmer's field. They kept to themselves, Kate says, but they lived peacefully together, and sometimes they would intermarry.
But outside the pond and unbeknownst to the fish, the owner of the farm had made a deal with the devil after killing his older brother, who was entitled to inherit the farm when their father died. The devil told the farmer Dan that he could purge his sin by helping him steal the treasure of a nearby church. To protect him from harm in the catacombs, the devil placed a magic stone in his chest. This would prevent him from dying, he said. To Dan's surprise, the stone works and he survives.
Dan returns to the farm with the jewels that the devil had promised to share with him. But when Dan hands over the treasure the devil runs away. At first Dan is angry, but soon he realizes that he can make lots more money with immortal life, a power granted to him by the magic stone. Putting the devil's deceit behind him, Dan decides to test this new power by trying to kill himself. He climbs a tree and with a noose tied around his neck, he jumps and falls and hangs limply in the air. He's dead. Kate explains: "Because childer when a man kills himself it is the Devil's work, it is the Devil doing the killing. And the Devil knew the stone in front of Dan's heart, he knew to get around it."
When God realizes what Dan has done, His wrath descends upon the farm. Angered by Dan's suicide, his deal with the devil, and his murder of his older brother, God wants to punish him, but Dan is dead. There is nothing to smite but his property. So God smites the cattle by draining the pond where the fish swim.
Examining the effects of God's wrath, the Blessed Mother sees the shoals of fish flapping in the drying pond. She intercedes when God is not looking and makes them human. When God comes to find what the Blessed Mother has done, He says, "I am down on people Mother. But I am too tired to do much about it. It would take an effort to finish all these people off. So I am going to curse them and let them finish each other off instead."
So for centuries the Sonaghans and the Gillaroos have fought. They've fought from their native town through the neighboring fields and counties. They fight until Kate's husband and Anthony's father, Aubrey Sonaghan, wins the respect of the Sonaghans and Gillaroos as a great boxer. He becomes a hero.
What he does others do too. So he got to the point he knew he had the power to do anything. He could continue on the road he was on or he could make the peace. And you know that is what he done. And the first people he went to make the peace with was the Gillaroos. It was like the curse was broken. (p. 63)
This by far is the gentler of the two origin stories told in the novel. The other concerns a certain pattern on the left thumbprint of all Sonaghans. This has the effect of making the feud uncorrectable, because it is natural, while Kate's myth tells the story of a group of people who have surmounted their fate.
But unfortunately fate cannot be so easily surmounted. The strife between the two families cannot be healed with one marriage. Two may find love while the rest remain in strife, still torn between family loyalty and their own self-preservation. Until the latter wins out, the feud will continue.
Thinking about his father's boxing career and his motivation for leaving the ring, Anthony says, "There is two kinds of pride. And it is pride in his person made him stop. He backed out the fighting right at the top, he was unbeaten. And he put away the other pride to back out, to go a different road. There is pride in your person and there is pride in your people."
The difference between the two prides is at the heart of the novel, which after all is a novel about youth. This Is The Way is a novel about youth not simply because Gavin Corbett is a young writer or because the narrator is a young man. And it is a novel about youth despite the fact that so much of the story is set in the past. It is a novel about youth because the tension of it is derived from the separation that Anthony feels between his background, his family and his education, and the person that he wants to become. It is a novel of Anthony's struggle to identify with a world that he resents.
While in Dublin Anthony meets a woman at the university library named Judith Neill. She is collecting stories from people like him, she says. Her father was a folklorist who in his day collected tales from the Sonaghans and Gillaroos (among others). Judith encourages Anthony to think about his family and his life and to frame those pieces within a narrative.
Anthony relays this from one of their first meetings:
Judith says you have to look at these things in detail and in whole and the story will make sense. I says is it fate you are talking about. She says it is not fate but from where you are looking it can seem like fate. Everything can only lead to where you are looking from and the more certain you are about where you are looking from the better to see what leads to it.
Looking back, she says, the pieces of a story seem to be fitted together. But from the other direction, not of telling the story but of living it, the pieces just seem to come together. Some fall in place while others are pushed or pulled by one's own will or an other's. There is no sense of fate or a greater understanding to it. When Anthony tells his uncle Arthur "I don't know fuck all about stories," this is what he is articulating: fatelessness and confusion.
Having been raised in the country, away from the traditions of his extended families, Anthony feels there is nowhere he belongs. Without traditions and customs to root him, he is wayward and resentful.
He tells his uncle, "Most the people in this country are wrong in their ways I says. Any old person you see, any young person you see, anything they say, anything they have and anything they hold to is wrong."
When the meat factory where he works is closed he thinks, "Too much going on for these people isn't no one like me going to help themself clinging to these people isn't that right I says I will go until I hit the buffers all of them, all them country people on the roads."
Unlike his father, who stopped boxing out of pride for himself, elevating that pride above the pride he had in his family, Anthony seems to take pride neither in himself nor in his family. The pieces of his life that should be coming together to form his identity are being repelled. He has no pride in where he comes from, so he has no pride in who he is.
The violence surrounding him pushes him further from himself. There is the threat on his life, the surprise appearance of his uncle Arthur, who's big toe has been sown onto his hand to replace his left thumb, and the reports in the papers of the violent deaths of men with names like Damien Thresh Sonaghan Lee and Showbiz Joseph Thresh, Damien's brother.
In the boredom of his Dublin room, stories become Anthony's sole comfort. He looks to stories about other people to help him understand his own, following another lesson from Judith. "She said I should collect stories myself, they would help me tell my own." He listens to his uncle and he remembers the myth told to him by his mother. And in time he is able to tell his own stories. He speaks about his father, his job at the meat plant, and the Spanish girl Conchita, who came to Ireland to live with Anthony and Aubrey while she learned English.
Stories bring order to his mind. They make him resolute and give him courage. By the end of the novel Anthony may not have pride in who he is or where he is from but at least he is able to face his past and return to his father's house. He is even able to think of his father as having dignity, rather than as a man with only the hope of being a good husband and father. This is certainly a step forward in understanding himself and laying his past to rest.
In This Is The Way Gavin Corbett has created a character whose own journey mirrors the act of reading and he has done this with more than the usual cleverness. Anthony Sonaghan's lostness is rooted in his lack of knowledge of who he is and who others are. He collects stories to situate himself. Much in the same way do readers pick up a book to learn how to articulate their own lives and the lives of others better. In both cases the details of a life are fitted together in a way that may resemble the primitive idea of fate, though in the process of calling up the details and spinning the threads together one strand at a time the mystical notion fades away. What is left is simply the certainty that these are the elements that have composed a life. Once all of the trappings of myth and ancient customs are wiped away, This Is The Way remains a novel about the choices we make (in life and in stories) and a reminder that we are free to choose something different. No path is set by fate.
This Is The Way will be released on March 5, 2013 by Faber and Faber.

We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month.

Talks between WEVV, Dish TV reportedly at standstill
EVANSVILLE - The prospects of Dish Network customers in the Tri-State getting their Fox programming back before the start of the new NFL season — not to mention the new fall television season — are looking grim.
Fox44 WEVV's parent company, Communications Corp. of America (also known as ComCorp), has been unable to reach a new agreement with the satellite provider since the station went on the air July 1.
Of the pay-television providers serving the Tri-State, which include Insight Communications, DirecTV, NewWave Communications and Time Warner Cable, among others, Dish remains the lone holdout. All of the others signed agreements to carry the channel prior to its debut.
The man handling negotiations for WEVV, Duane Lammers, says that he's tried to reach a deal, but explained that Dish isn't negotiating in good faith.
Lammers, the chief operating officer of Granite Broadcasting, which owns the new Fox affiliate in Fort Wayne, Ind., said Tuesday that things are, in effect, at a standstill. "(T)here have been no discussions between Dish and the companies I represent during the entire month of August," he explained. "My last proposal on July 29th was rejected without a counter."
Lammers' assessment of the situation, however, runs contrary to Dish's long-standing assertion that they continue to negotiate.
"We have offered several proposals based on fair local market rates that would have immediately resolved this dispute," an unnamed Dish customer service representative said via Twitter on Tuesday. The satellite company has repeatedly claimed ComCorp wants a 325 to 350 percent increase in retransmission fees over what Nexstar Broadcasting's WTVW sought when that station was the area's Fox affiliate.
Lammers says that's simply not true.
"If they were even close to a serious offer we would have a deal," he said. "I have made two offers. They made one. That's not a serious approach."

Hurrah! I'm finally home. I got in late Saturday night after a long business trip that included head colds, broken sunglasses and overnight flights. It was ugly and by "it," I do mean me by trip's end. Fact: you've been traveling too much when the airline attendant at the baggage check-in counter recognizes you — and you're not even in your home country.
While I was on the road, the Hyatt launched a new service catering to female business travelers. The chain spent 18 months speaking with female travelers about things they want in a hotel. A quick summary of what they learned: women prefer to eat healthily while on the road, we often have particular housekeeping requests and we want amenities than men often don't think of like, say, hair-straightening irons.
Through a program called Hyatt Has It, female guests now have access to phone chargers, curling irons, flat irons, yoga mats, makeup remover pads and quality beauty products to borrow free of charge or to buy. The hotel chain upgraded to top-quality skin and hair care products — here in Calgary, the Hyatt Regency will offer KenetMD Skin Care for guests, the first time an international hotel has partnered with a dermatologist in creating care products.
The part that I like most of all: they've added new healthy menu items like fresh juices and smoothies, balanced portions and "create your own" options. Lighter options include things roasted wild salmon with poached asparagus and sautéed spinach and a vegetarian burger with a spiced chickpea and lentil patty. Finally! There's been many a night when I've come back to my hotel exhausted after a day of meetings and the only "healthy" room service option was a Caesar salad. (For the record, there is nothing healthy about pale lettuce in heavy cream dressing with fried pieces of bread. Hotel operators, please note.) Finding a true-blue healthy option on a room service menu seemed the holy freaking grail to me.
Well done, Hyatt.

Methodist University established its Professional Nursing Studies Program in 2010 in response to a growing demand for highly trained nursing professionals. This program is a unique integration of the best use of hands-on learning and state-of-the-art simulation technology, with the goal of producing graduates with outstanding nursing skills and leadership in the face of a nationwide nursing shortage.
The dedication ceremony for the Professional Nursing Studies Building took place in December, 2012. The star feature of the 10,000 square foot facility is the MU General Simulation Hospital. The Hospital is comprised of an admitting/discharge area; pharmacy; a CEO/CNO office; case conference room; skills lab; two Nurses stations; four private hospital rooms including critical care, trauma, med/surg and labor and delivery rooms; a pediatric ward; nursery; and a triage suite. Within the hospital, students provide care to simulated patients - an infant, a six-year old boy, an expectant mother, and three adult males, creating the real life scenario of managing multiple patients simultaneously. The "patients" are life-sized, computerized manikins that can speak and breathe, have heart and lung sounds, and can progress through a multitude of medical states from birth to death.
The entire Hospital is connected by forty-one ceiling-mounted 360 and zoom cameras for audiovisual playback teaching/learning opportunities with live observation capability from any computer in the building. This system integrates simulators, skills trainers, and standardized patient programs to help create, deliver, asses, evaluate, and manage all aspects of learning.
If you would like to schedule a tour of our facilities or arrange to meet with a member of the Nursing Faculty or Staff, please contact:
Jennifer Caviness,
Nursing Office Manager
