California reconsiders DREAM Act
California is at a point where they could get eligible undocumented immigrants the help that they need. The California DREAM Act will give, under certain provisions, immigrants the ability to apply for financial aid regardless if they are citizens or not, solely based on place of residency.
Senate filibuster defeats DREAM act but fight continues in state legislatures
Many will keep working to have the DREAM Act pass and the fight will continue, but reality is, for the next few years or so, the DREAM Act will not pass congress but with a lot of hard work and dedication, it could be passed in the state form. If it could happen in UTAH it could happen anywhere.
Rahm Emanuel, a man who is known for throwing Latinos under the bus, has tried to alter his image within the Latino community as he seeks to be elected Mayor of Chicago. He has proposed a scholarship program that would help undocumented immigrant students go to college and calls it the "Chicago DREAM Act" though many blame him for the failure of the federal DREAM act bill last year.
Life after graduation is especially tough for undocumented students
Here lies the story of a girl who, like many of us, found out late in their life about their citizenship status. As someone who graduated 3rd in a class of 250 students and beat the odds of a high school with a very high drop out rate, she managed to get into Yale. But, though given the chance to study at Yale, she could have the experience other Yalies would. Unable to travel and provide certain documents to do many activities that Yale provided, all she could do was attend school and hope for the best. But as of now, 22 years old with a degree from Yale, all she can do is sit at home, unemployed, unable to drive, unable to strive towards anything, all due to her citizenship status.
Utah Bill revoking in-state tuition for undocumented students advances
Utah Rep. Carl Wimmer (R-Herriman) passed his bill to revoke in-state tuition for children of undocumented immigrants in a packed committee hearing. Utah is one of 11 states that currently offers in-state tuition to undocumented students.
APALA Responds to Sen. Orrin Hatch's Immigration Proposal: Time to Address Failed Immigration System
As we take a look at the last year and the failure of the DREAM Act, many have broken down and lost all hope while others are on the verge of finding answers and choose not to give up. Many organizations and programs have found small ways to help us undocumented immigrants. But while there was an upside to this story, we also had many downsides. Arizona passed a law allowing officials to basically profile anyone they believe is undocumented and violate their rights along with Virginia trying to change the 14th amendment.

A weekend where we're due to be hit by the tail end of a tropical storm is a canny time to launch London's first indoor skate park, but we're not accusing House of Vans of meteorological interference.
This is the next phase in the life of the space beneath Waterloo station, which closed as the Old Vic Tunnels last year. Two of the five tunnels are being reborn as skate ramps: one contains a concrete bowl, while the other has a mini ramp and 'street' area. It's also free, but you need to reserve your two hour skate or BMX session in advance — this weekend is all snapped up but if planning is your thing you can book up to a month ahead.
There's a cafe in the same tunnel as the bowl, and a bar in the tunnel next door. There's plenty of stuff for non-skaters too, with a live music venue, cinema screening room and free art gallery filling up the rest of the space. It's no fly-by-night venture either; House of Vans reckons it'll be in situ for at least three years. Check it out this opening weekend and maybe you'll catch a gig, screening, talk or just some top skating.
House of Vans is underneath Waterloo station at 232 Station Approach Road, is free to get in and open Wednesday and Thursday 4pm-10pm, Friday 12pm-10pm, Saturday 10am-10pm and Sunday 10am-6pm. Find out more on the website, Facebook and Twitter.

You can now follow Motion Notion on Tumblr, too! Check out our 1st post… http://motionnotion3d.tumblr.com/
The economy is uncertain. Consumers are doing their homework and spending their money more frugally. How do you reach them? Are you reaching them in a way that makes them comfortable with your product or service? Have you showed an interest in them by educating them? Consumers want to know what their money will get them…or what it will get them into.
Let's face it…they are either your customer or someone else's. While they are looking at what you have to offer you must educate them on why you are what you are and why you are not your competitor. It's just a fact of life, you are not going to convert every contact into an immediate sale. You can, however, turn every contact into an immediate lesson. Teach them what your product/service is, teach them how you are different, teach them what they need. If they do happen to go with a competitor and are unhappy, then you've planted the seed that will eventually blossom into a sale when they return to you.
Motion Notion is a full service production house that can consult and produce presentations that will turn your products and services into learning devices that puts your information, tangibly in the buyers hands.
You dream. So do your clients and or your customers. The difference between a dream and a reality is that reality is a tangible thing. You can talk about your product or service to nauseam but show your client your ideas and they will remember them. Make your dream seem real to the client and they will sign on. Three dimensional imaging and animation can bring that to another step. Instead of showing one image to a client showing a movie can hit a number of your client's senses. A full production can play on the senses of your client and wrap them up in your dream. Even a theoretical product or idea can seem real with the right production. Marry animation with an interactive presentation such as flash, or produce an app for iPad, iPhone or another mobile device and suddenly your client is using your product, in some cases before you even produce the actual product.

Black Assassin
this wiki
Black Assassins (ブラックアサシン Burakku Asashin?) are enemies that appear exclusively in Shadow the Hedgehog. They only appear in the Black Comet, Final Haunt and The Last Way stages, all which are the major bases of the Black Arms in the game. They look like armored Black Warriors, but they can withstand many attacks and have the ability to disappear and reappear at will, almost like they are using Warp Holes. They are all armed with Refractors.
Black Assassins are powerful Black Arms that have the ability to teleport, and are usually seen on air saucers. They have rhino like heads and golden armor, suggesting they have high standards. Black Doom says that they are easy to contain, meaning that it is easy to control them. They usually disappear shortly after being attacked.
- In Sonic Universe Issue 59 they appeared using Black Swords, while in the game, they use the Refractors only.

I noticed particularly a decrease in breast tenderness around 8 wks...then it came back later. I never had bad nausea, but heartburn that came and went. I think your body is getting used to the changing hormone levels. I know it's hard not to worry. I remember wishing I had a window in my belly to check on the little bean! Once you start to feel movement, it seems a lot more real (but then you start to obsess about that, or at least I did).

Spam filters are getting pretty good these days. If they weren't, we'd be inundated.
But they aren't perfect.
It's a good idea to check what is being filtered out, every once in a while, to make sure that you are not missing messages you should be getting. Lots of things can falsely trigger spam filters these days.
Where and how you check will depend on what you use to read your email. And how you report that something is or isn't spam will depend on that, too.
If you use the Web based email systems, like Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook/Hotmail, or others, and you use their Web interface, the spam folder usually is listed with other folders, generally to the left side of the browser window. And, when you are looking at that list, when you select one of the messages, somewhere on the screen, probably near the top, is a button to report that it isn't spam.
It's been a couple of weeks since I did this myself, so I checked two of my Webmail accounts this morning. Both of them had at least one message caught in the spam trap that should have been sent through. Spam filtering is good, but it isn't perfect. You have to take responsibility for your own safety. And that means checking the things you use to keep you safe.

International community welcomes PHL-MILF peace agreement
Gov't, MILF agree to create new political entity . President Benigno Aquino III announces that the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) have agreed to create a new political entity called 'Bangsamoro' during a press briefing in Malacañang on Sunday. The President said the government will continue to exercise exclusive powers of defense and security, foreign policy, monetary policy and coinage, citizenship, and naturalization. Robert Viñas
The international community on Monday congratulated the Philippine government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) for finalizing the landmark framework peace agreement between them.
Emotions overcame the peace negotiators as President Benigno Aquino III announced that they had reached agreement, according to Steven Rood, country representative of The Asia Foundation, who was there as part of the peace talks' International Contact Group (ICG).
"In the session room in Kuala Lumpur while we were watching the President over the Internet, there was applause, crying, palakpakan, iyakan...They were very emotional at this chance for the Bangsamoro to transition to reality," Rood said.
He also said the transition may take a few more years, but hopefully lead to elections in 2016.
"Many of the hardest issues have in fact been defined in the framework agreement...there may be some tense negotiations still but both sides have built up goodwill."
Rood added that the details in the annexes may take up until the end of the year, followed by about two years for the transition to draft a new Bangsamoro basic law, which will be presented to Congress.
He said that if and when Congress approves the basic law, a plebiscite would follow to lead to elections for the Bangsamoro legislature in 2016 and a ministerial government.
Aside from The Asia Foundation, there are three other foreign-based non-government organizations and four countries in the ICG.
The four countries are Japan, the United Kingdom, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia.
In separate statements, foreign embassies in Manila expressed their support for the accord, saying this will foster lasting peace and stability in strife-ridden Mindanao, the site of numerous violent battles between government troops and Muslim rebels.
United States Ambassador Harry Thomas welcomed the development in the ongoing peace process. He hoped that the parties can continue to avoid violence as they work toward a final resolution that will last for generations and benefit all the people of the Philippines.
"We welcome the announcement by the government of the Philippines and the MILF that the two sides finalized a framework peace agreement. While much work remains, successful implementation of this agreement would improve security, stability, and development for the people of Mindanao," he said.
"We will continue to look for ways to support the people of Mindanao as they accelerate broad-based and inclusive growth. We also acknowledge the deliberate steps by all parties to maintain the cease-fire that has been in place since 2009," he added.
The European Union's High Representative Catherine Ashton, in a statement, said that the early signature of the "truly historical document is a major step towards a long-lasting peace in Mindanao, which will lead the island to stability and prosperity."
"I wish to express my congratulations to the government of the Philippines and the MILF on the successful conclusion of the negotiations on the framework peace agreement reached on 7 October, 2012," said Ashton, who is also the Security Policy and Vice-President of the Commission.
The EU also recognized the contribution of the Malaysian facilitator of the peace talks, Tengku Dato' Ab Ghafar Tengku Mohamed, as well as the members of the International Contact Group, to the successful conclusion of the peace negotiations.
The EU, as a member of the International Monitoring Team and major development partner in poverty alleviation in Mindanao since 1990, said that it will continue to lend its full support to the peaceful resolution of the conflict.
Meanwhile, Australian Foreign Minister Bob Carr on Monday welcomed the framework peace agreement, characterizing it as "a testament to the commitment of both the [Philippine] Government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front to the concept of a peaceful settlement."
"I particularly acknowledge the leadership of Philippines President Benigno Aquino III, who has been a strong advocate for peace," said Carr in a news statement.
Australia has contributed to peace and security in Mindanao through support for basic education, governance reforms and strengthening community resilience by working with local government, security forces, citizens and civil society groups on conflict resolution. The core of Australia's aid program in conflict-affected areas is to improve the quality of and access to basic education across 3,000 schools, including Islamic pre-schools.
'There will still be challenges'
A separate statement from the United Kingdom embassy in Manila quoted its Foreign Secretary William Hague as saying: "[The framework agreement] is a testament to the commitment and vision of the parties."
"The agreement has the potential finally to end the long-running conflict. Full implementation of the agreement by 2016 can bring about peace, security, and development. That will be good not only for Mindanao, but for the whole of the Philippines," Hague said.
Hague said that since the UK is a member of the International Contact Group, it will continue to provide further assistance if such a role would be valuable to the parties.
British Ambassador Stephen Lillie further said: "One of the most relevant lessons at this point is to recognize that even after an agreement it won't all be plain sailing, and there will still be challenges. But with commitment and hard work these will be far outweighed by the benefits of peace, as our own experience since the Good Friday Agreement was signed 14 years ago shows."
The Japanese embassy said that the accord is an "important first step toward the realization of the final agreement concerning the Mindanao Peace Process."
"Because the framework agreement leaves the resolution of several important issues to future negotiations, it is expected that more difficulties must be overcome to reach the final agreement. Japan strongly hopes that both parties will steadily implement the contents of the Framework Agreement and continue their persistent negotiation efforts towards the early realization of the final agreement," said the Japanese embassy.
Japan contributed to the peace process through its membership in the International Contact Group and by sending development experts to help the parties reach an amicable compromise. It also pursued economic cooperation projects in former conflict-affected areas. — DVM/ELR, GMA News

Global West Suspension ASR-6 1968-73 Mustang Adjustable Strut RodsPrice: $369.99More Info
Global West Negative Roll tubular upper control arms improve the geometry of the stock Mustang suspension while adding additional strength. The arms come pre-assembled and are supplied with billet steel cross shafts, Del-A-Lum low friction bushings, ball joints, and instructions.
- Requires drilling new mount holes in your shock tower
- Includes drill template
- Changes camber curve when used with Global West lower arms
- Generates negative camber to keep tire foot print flatter on the pavement
- Gain improved cornering and longer tire life
Stock '68-'73 Mustang strut rods used a flimsy rubber bushing to control fore & aft movement of the wheel during suspension travel. This design was prone to deflection during hard acceleration and braking. A more positive approach to the problem would be to install an adjustable strut rod kit with a spherical rod end in place of the rubber bushing. Global Wests strut rods are designed as a bolt on application. No welding or frame modifications are required. When using a strut rod design of this nature, the deflection is totally eliminated. The suspension no longer deflects fore and aft. The vehicle now sees a lower a-arm rather than a two component system (strut rod & lower arm).
- Bolt on application, no frame modifications
- Allows you to dial-in your front suspension
- Adjusting sleeve uses standard open-end wrench, no special tools required
- Rods are powercoated black
- Hardware included

Town have gone seven League One matches without a victory following Saturday's 2-2 draw with Shrewsbury, and have slipped down to 10th in the table.
They face a tough December with games against Stevenage, Sheffield United, Portsmouth and Bournemouth, but Barker feels his side will get back on the winning trail sooner rather than later.
He said: "In those seven games we have had four draws and Yeovil mugged us here in the last minute.
"We know we can improve but I don't think we are far away from going on another good run."
Barker will be hoping top scorer Billy Clarke will be fit for Saturday's trip to Stevenage after he missed out against the Shrews with a hamstring injury.

The big festival is coming to a close today. Hopefully peace and quiet will again descent on the town. It's been quite a party, but it's time to clean up the town and get back to work/school!
Last night's heavy rain ended quite quickly. I was sure that the fireworks would be postponed, but they did in fact start on time! I'm currently uploading a video of the *entire* event. You can view the FIREWORKS VIDEO by clicking HERE.
It's amazing how many people dressed up for the festival. Of course, they have motivation. Entry is free if you're in costume!
Here's a photo gallery of some of the costumes and events from Day 2:

The NBA posted a picture on its Twitter account Saturday of Silver holding a basketball and shaking hands with outgoing commissioner David Stern.
"It's official: Adam Silver succeeds David Stern as NBA Commissioner" the caption read.
Stern retired after exactly 30 years in charge.
Silver joined the NBA as his assistant in 1992 and has been the deputy commissioner since 2006.

Mike Shanahan on Marc Trestman and Jay Cutler: "I think it'll work well"
PHOENIX – Mike Shanahan still believes in quarterback Jay Cutler, whom he drafted 11th overall in 2006, when they were in Denver.
So Shanahan didn't hesitate when new Bears coach Marc Trestman connected with him to ask him some questions about the quarterback.
"I've known Marc for a long time, and he knows I spent some time with Jay, and he asked me a couple of things that I shared with him," Shanahan said. "I know that Marc feels very good about Jay, and I think the world of Jay. He's a very talented guy. I just think he'll get better and better."
Cutler steadily improved under Shanahan with the Broncos, and he earned a Pro Bowl berth after the 2008 season. But after Shanahan's surprise ouster, Cutler was traded to the Bears by Josh McDaniels.
Cutler, 29, enters the final year of his current contract.
Asked how Trestman and Cutler will work together, Shanahan said, "I think it'll work well."
Shanahan didn't elaborate.

Yeah, I thought of that, but what bothers me is whether you use SCSI or IDE,
the mount command should STILL tell you what partitions are mounted. Even a
user of all-SCSI systems should still be able to see mounted partitions
using "mount". But it's certainly worth asking.
Dylan, are all your hard drives SCSI?
That would be hilarious -- a system that's all SCSI except for an IDE
Plextor drive. :)

In Santiago, CHILE: '02 1150 GSA Idle Question
I'm currently in Santiago, Chile about to throw my leg over the saddle for a long day to Pucon (top of the Lakes District). I rode through SW Bolivia (Laguna's Route), and when I got out of the Lagunas route I noticed that my bike was idling really high--or the high idling may have been after I put in 97 octane in Chile--not sure. In any event, my idle is now quite high (1,700 to 2,000 RPM), and it is especially bad when I come off the Autopista ("freeway") and my engine is hot. Usually you can just pop the throttle to get the RPM to drop back down to the normal sub 1,500 RPM range, but that is not working all of the time. I did switch from the 97 octane gas to the 93 octane gas, but that doesn't seem to help.
So what do we think? Is this a TPS thing? Throttle body thing? Throttle cable thing? Fuel filter? Fuel pump? Spark plugs?
I have my ohm meter and could check out the TPS, but I am doubting it would be the throttle bodies, as I am not getting any surging. It might be the fuel filter/pump, as I did just get out of Bolivia and Peru--but the fuel pump and filter were both new when I left the states 3 months ago.
Beyond the high RPM idle, the bike is running amazing! I crossed 90,000 miles on the odometer outside of Lake Titicaca in Peru before we crossed the border into Bolivia. She's an old gal, but she's solid--and I can smell Ushuaia!
I'm not like the other dudes down here with tons of time (I have a wife for christ's sake), so I need to keep moving. So unless this is an indication of a much more perilous issue, I'm predisposed to keep moving south, which would be outside the Santiago safe zone (moto shops everywhere, BMW, etc). Therefore, I would appreciate a quick response in case I need to stay in Santiago for the day sorting this out.
BTW, Chile is amazing. Clearly I'm able to appreciate it because I've now been through quite a few of these Latin American gems...but Chile is amazing.
Okay, I'm going to go and snag a cup of coffee and breakfast. Thanks guys (and gals)!

"Usually you can just pop the throttle to get the RPM to drop back down"
There's the key brother. Sounds mechanical. I think you are on the right track with sticky throttle body or cables. Make sure they funtion flawlessly before moving on to the electrics.
Good luck!!

Starting...I guess...
Nothing to do with the octane rate. I run mine indifferently and it doesn't happen. The motronic doesn' t consider it.
I would start to check if the TPS is loose or changed it's fixing accidentaly and then the throttle cable, at least releasing it to see.
Well, got to start somewhere...
You´ll solve it.
Keep going.

The Bike is, um, a bit dirty
So on the mechanical front, I do have quite a bit of goodness on the bike that I have so far elected to leave in its natural state, as I strongly believe that I GS should remain unwashed, which enhances its bad ass appeal. So perhaps I should rinse the throttle bodies and throttle cables. Maybe it's just a sticky bit from the Salar or sand or something.
So far I am not seeing any alarm bells, so I'm going to plan on continuing south.
I love you early risers! Clearly being in Canada helps, but still, it's your quick responses that make ADV so great. Thanks a ton! Heck, I hadn't even gotten my own damn coffee yet before you responded! Much appreciated!

It just needs a bit of cleaning likely of the outside and possibly inside of the TBs. I woudl check/clean/lube the throttle cable and the crossover cable {I assume the 1150 has one like my 1100 does}.
Maybe set it on the cenyer stand and start it let it get to the high idle problem, then reach down and manually close the butterfly from the actuator arm {where the cable mounts} and see if it drops, then you would know it is either gum/carbon inside of the TB on the butterfly, or in the cable and not some FI issue.

Update (kinda)
So I made it down to Villarrica yesterday (450 miles in 8 hours, whoa). Again, get down here folks...Chile is amazing. Even if you just fly into Santiago and then rent a bike, it's amazing. It's just like the US. Just freaking do it.
Okay, so I checked to make sure that the cables are seated corrected (ie, not propped up), and they're fine, so we can rule that out. (Thanks, LaurelPerryOnLand)
I sprayed the throttle bodies with a bit of water from the parking lot dude's hose before I left Santiago, but that didn't totally solve the problem.
I'm still having to manually "pop" the throttle to get the idle to come back down, and then the idle will only drop down probably 50% of the time...the other 50% it remains high.
I have a great place to tinker today, as today was a planning day anyway for my route south, so now that I've recovered from yesterday's ride down here, I'll walk up and take a look at these various items and report back. Thanks to everyone for their input!
I'm also going to run into town and see if I can track down a place to clean my bike up--at least in this one area on the bike! I like the way it looks, and if I can avoid spit shining it I will (plus as a general rule, I hate cleaning).
Again, thanks to everyone for their help, input and suggestions. You are what make ADV so great.

Chile and Argentina are awesome. I can not wait, we are going next February. My wife is from Chile. Her mom and dad and brothers live here now, but all of the rest of her family is still there in Rancagua about 100 miles south east of Santiago.
We have a book on the country and it is just awesome. YOu HAVE to make it down to the glacier. Absolutely gorgeous.
A friend of ours from New Zealand saw some pics of the Chilean Glaciers and thought they were the Glaciers in NZ they look so much alike.
Ride safe and have fun.

Another Update
So after coffee this AM, I walked up to the bike to have a closer look at what's going on. Here is what I found:
1. The throttle cables are both seated properly.
2. I noticed a knocking come from the right hand throttle body, and upon further investigation I found that the "wheel" that the throttle cable seats into appears to be moving around quite a bit. I compared the play to the other side (which wasn't making the knocking noise), and the right side appears to have a bit more play than the left. Again, play in the shaft and "wheel" that the throttle cable seats in to.
3. The right hand throttle cable (again, the right side is making noise) appears to be looser than the left hand throttle cable at the point below the throttle cable adjusters (ie, the small bit of exposed throttle cable before it runs onto the "wheel" mentioned above). Therefore, I'm going to watch JVB's maintenance DVD (which I brought with me) and refresh myself on how to properly tune the throttle cables. My problem is now going to be that I do not have a TB sync to sync the throttle bodies after I equalize the throttle cables, so if things are really running bad I'm going to need to go down to a hardware store and build myself a manometer, which I REALLY do not want to have to do.
4. I noticed on the underside (kind of) of the "wheel" there is another screw adjuster that looks kind of like a throttle adjuster screw on a carburetor (ie, screwing it in or out will speed the idle up or down). However, given that this is a fuel injected bike, I'm not quite sure what this screw does. Plus, I also noticed a small bit of marking paint on the screw, so clearly this was tuned by the previous owner to be in the position that it is in.
5. Getting back to the basics (air, fuel, spark), I also popped the air filter out and cleaned out the air intakes and air filter housing, as I thought maybe the bike was "breathing hard" try to get more air, so therefore I figured that maybe if I did my best to "clear" the airway that the patient would be able to breath easier--and maybe slow down the idle. So we'll see how that goes, as I have not yet taken the bike for a spin to get it up to temperature. I also banged the air filter out as best I could, and although this is the original air filter that I had in when I left back in November from the States and that it looks kind of dusty, the air filter itself looks okay.
Here's where I can use a little help:
A. Does anyone know of a quick and dirty way of syncing the TBs without the use of a TB sync device (ie, CarbMax, manometer, etc)? I have a feeling that I am going to need to do this.
B. Does anyone have any idea why I would be having more play in the right hand "wheel" than the left side? Is there a mechanical bearing of some type that seats the "wheel" shaft to the TB that might be wearing out? Or will simply tightening up the throttle cable likely take out the play.
C. Per 4 (above), does anyone have any thoughts on whether I will need to adjust this screw once I take the slack out of the throttle cable? Any advice or thoughts here would be appreciated.
D. Per 5 (above) does anyone think that I need to swap out the air filter--and whether doing so would slow down the idle? Clearly now that I have left Santiago, getting an air filter might be a challenge.
Okay, so that's the update. I'm going to be watching JVB's DVD for a bit, so hopefully some of you will be able to chime in on the above items if you have a moment. (The bike does not have WiFi, so I'm doing the back and forth thing).
Thanks everyone!

Update #3
I just watched JVB's DVD (for something like the 83rd time, good value, go and get ya one), and I flat don't know how I can do this without a proper TB sync tool (ie, CarbMax, manometer, etc). Therefore, I searched the web, and lo and behold I discovered that Moto Aventura in Osorno, Chile, which is only 200 or so km from my current location in Villaricca, Chile. Just in case someone else needs the lat/long in the future, here is the cut and paste of their location:

Standing by with thoughts and suggestions on my Update #2...although I am leaning towards not doing anything until I am at a workshop with other knowledgable folks with the right tools to complete a job. Man I'd be pissed at myself if I went ahead and started adjusting things, and then somehow mucked something up so as not to be able to even GET to Osorno. The bike is running OK right now--it could just be better. Plus, I'm really concerned about something going seriously wrong further south, where I will truly be on my own.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad speaks at a press conference in Tehran, Iran, Tuesday, Oct. 2, 2012. (AP Photo/Vahid Salemi)
SYDNEY: The U.N. atomic agency has yet to agree a date for further talks with Iran and has little hope for a speedy resolution to a standoff with Tehran over its nuclear programme, the head of the nuclear watchdog said on Thursday.
Efforts by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to engage with Iran over suspicions it has been conducting research into developing nuclear weapons have stalled and a hoped for meeting this month would not be possible, IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano told reporters following an address in Sydney.
"We are committed for dialogue and we are ready to have a meeting at an early date but the fact is, that as of today, no specific date is decided for a meeting," Amano said.
Any meeting would take at least a month to organise, he said, adding he saw no sign a resolution was near.
"We need to see how the dialogue will be when we meet. But it took almost one year and we haven't produced any concrete results so therefore we don't have the reason to believe overnight everything would change - I don't have that indication either."
The six countries involved in discussions over Iran's programme have held three rounds of talks with Tehran this year without visible progress. A U.S. official voiced hope last week for a fourth round "in the not too distant future".
Israel, Iran's arch foe, says Tehran is seeking a nuclear weapons capability and last week warned the Islamic state will be on the brink of developing a nuclear weapon by mid-2013.
But Western experts believe Iran is still a few years away from being able to assemble a nuclear-armed missile.
Last month, Iran accused the IAEA of passing on confidential details of its atomic work to Israel, and a military commander said Tehran may consider a pre-emptive strike on the Jewish state if it looked set to attack.
Iran, one of the world's largest oil producers, says its nuclear programme is aimed at producing electricity, not making nuclear bombs.
Amano said the agency had "no particular" new information on Iran's programme since November when it released a trove of intelligence on past and possibly continuing efforts to develop nuclear weapons.
"The fact is Iran continues to enrich uranium...contrary to the U.N. Security Council resolution," Amano said.

This is a response to a post on The Curvy Fashionista called the 'The Enabling of Self Loathing and Shame - A Brand's Facebook Observation' . Check it out before you read my response. Also, read the comments.
The first time Torrid posted a look of mine it was without my consent. I noticed the increased traffic to my blog and found that it was coming from their Facebook page. I was happy to be featured on their page as it is wonderful when important figures in the industry of your chosen field (most young fat girls shop at Torrid) recognize your talent. Also, this meant more exposure for Fat Shopaholic which is never a bad thing. The problem started when I looked at the comments. Many of them crossed that fine, almost invisible, line between constructive criticism and a vicious attack. While we are here lets discuss the difference.
Constructive criticism usually points out a flaw or flaws, but offers suggestions to fix the issue. For example, if you were commenting on an outfit post you could say something like, 'I'm not a big fan of that skirt. I find that maxi skirts make most people look frumpy. I like mini skirts best'. Even if your distaste for an outfit won't allow you to be nice enough to make a suggestion you can simply say, 'I don't like this outfit' or 'I don't like this outfit because...'. That's not really constructive, but not rude either.
Vicious attacks are just what they sound like. For example, 'That skirt looks a mess. I'm fat and I would never ever wear anything like that. It's just terrible. You look like a clown'.
In addition to being vicious many comments were body shaming. For example, 'Why are your big titties hanging out of that dress?' or 'You are too fat for those shorts. No one wants to see you big thighs hanging out. Just because it's sold in your size doesn't mean you have to buy it'.
I was not hurt by the unfortunate comments made on my outfit. I have accepted three very important things.
1.) I have a strange and unique style. My style is especially different to fat girls who are used dressing a traditionally acceptable fat girl way.
2.) Because I have accepted my weirdness so whole heartedly most negative comments about my style are not a factor in my life. They won't make me change my style or stop wearing the things I love. I don't see them and cry. I'm almost unaffected. I mean I've been told I make fat girls look bad and that I'm misrepresenting the stylish fat community on Torrid'a Facebook page, but I couldn't even think of a fuck to give.
3.) In blogging you will encounter all three kinds of comments I mentioned above. If you break down or have a full scale freakout every time some dislikes something you do blogging may be for you, but not right now.
While the personal attacks on me left me unfazed there is a bigger issue at hand. That issue is the message of self hate and bully mentality those comments perpetuate. Those comments instill hate in others and make them censor their style for fear of ridicule. They can mute potentially amazing perfectives because now blogging looks too hard. A young girl who thought she found a safe haven of love and acceptance could continue choking down Lean Cuisines because thanks to those comments she thinks she's too fat to be accepted by fat people.
Solutions to this problem:
In the past (after their first post without my consent) I have sent Torrid links to my outfits to be posted on their Facebook page because we have an on going relationship and I know the risk of it being up there. In terms of other photos I do feel like Torrid should email the blogger before using their images. In fact, many bloggers explicitly ask that permission is asked before their photos are used. This gives the blogger time to assess the risk and determine if they can handle would could happen when their look is posted.
There should have been some form of moderation on Torrid's Facebook page from the start. These days many companies employ a person who's job is solely social media. While that person is sitting at a desk all day handling blogger relations, updating twitter, and posting things to Facebook there is bound to be time in the day for moderating the comments on outfit post. There should also be comment guidelines and repeat offenders should be blocked from the page. My mother used to say, "The constitution may say you have freedom of speech, but in my house I make the rules. In here your mouth will get you fucked up". Torrid doesn't have to issue ass whoopings, but you get the point.
Finally, we need to be more conscience of the way our comments affect others. As I've said in the past you are entitled to your opinion, but you are also responsible for it. That last part is something people don't often consider when they're yelling and carrying on about their rights and freedom of speech. You're entitled to entertain yourself with your hate speech using typed words, but if someone harms themselves physically because of it why is it only then that it makes an impact? Hateful words imprison people by their emotions. I'm not going to tell my whole life, but it happened to me. It made my life harder then it had to be. Just think about what you're going to say all the way through before you say it. It may seem like a small thing, but kind words change lives; many of yours have changed mine.
Some of the comments on Marie's post suggested that Torrid was posting photos of women with bolder styles as well as women on the larger end of plus to boost participation on their Facebook page. I don't agree with this. I have seen women posted on Torrid's Facebook of different body types with a variety of styles. I think Torrid had pure intentions when posting the pictures and were really just trying to show different perspectives. The method in which they do this is what needs to be tweaked.
Shorty after Marie's post Torrid and I was delighted to see all of the comments and likes praising Torrid for finally taking action in this area. Torrid's quick response to this issues shows that they care about making money, but they also are listening to the needs of bloggers and customers. My hope is that this continues beyond a single post and brings about better moderation to make Torrid's Facebook page a safe space.
Thanks to Marie for writing the orignal post and mentioning me in it.

If it's time to start planning your spring wedding, one of the first things you'll want to decide upon is your wedding color palette. There are so many different choices available that it can be hard to decide. Check out these 4 beautiful spring wedding color palettes for inspiration.
Purple is a stunning color reminiscent of royalty and it works well for virtually every season, including spring. This couple used a muted purple and really played up different textures in their wedding décor. The result is absolutely beautiful.
Hot Pink
If you've never thought about this as a wedding color, think again. It's absolutely beautiful when paired with creams and lighter pink colors. It stands out well and there are a variety of ways to bring this color into the décor, and even into the flowers and apparel.
Shades of Teal and Pink
Teal and pink are absolutely made for each other, as you can see in this spring wedding color palette. You can even use shades of green, as this couple did with jade and sea foam. Pink and teal contrast very well and the overall look is very reminiscent of spring.
Black, Gold and White
Shades of black, gold and white come together to create a very glam, very polished spring wedding look. If your wedding will be more of a formal event, this is a great palette to go with. It has a classic and beautiful feel that your guests will be impressed with.
Let these color palettes give you inspiration and something to think about when you begin planning your spring wedding.

@Panthera "There will likely never again be a government sponsored major space initiative such as Gemini/Apollo." Get a little bit into why that won't happen. We keep pumping billions into the military every year. Why not take a good portion of that put it into space exploration.

@absu69 Simply put, the US Gov't/NASA are terribly inefficient with taxpayers $. Yes, a lot of good came out of NASA, and they led the way for commercial entities today, but today commercial entities can do the same stuff NASA was doing decades ago for a fraction of the cost. As long as there is a vision on how to get a return on the money spent then space exploration is going to become much more commercialized and much less science/knowledge based.

@absu69 Great analysis -.a combination of smaller government, diminished sense of awe following the mundane series of launches in the latter days of Apollo, and earthbound economic influence. All these helped to make NASA insignificant compared to its glory days, too.

As more travelers seek wonderful African destinations like Marrakech, Mombassa and Maputo, we've seen an increase in African-inspired cookbooks and new restaurants with exotic African themes. And where the restaurant trade goes, the retail market is soon to follow.
While a restaurateur can employ African décor and music to create an authentic atmosphere, the retail product only has the authenticity of packaging and product design to recreate a memorable experience.
The challenge of communicating the vibrancy and boldness of a vast continent into a single range of products on a supermarket shelf is intense. So where does one start? Maybe by exploring the underlying values regarding food and the important role food plays within many African communities.
Food values
Africans live to eat and eat to live. Meals are a ritual. In many communities, the whole day revolves around either going to the market in the morning to procure ingredients for the main meal or working the land to receive the goodness it provides, and then returning home to commence meal preparation. All of this is a labor of love, because Africans seldom eat alone—even when they are in commute, they share and enjoy food together. People who eat alone are pitied, because they either have no friends or no family. Food is a celebration, and people take time out of the day to savor and share it.
So, even though convenience meals or meal components are created to save time and ease meal preparation, the portion size needs to be sufficient enough to allow sharing. Having food to prepare and enough to share is considered a blessing.
No food is wasted. Every single bit of food is used—whether merely to add flavor (by means of the stock pot) or as part of the main dish and, afterward, leftovers (if any) are cleverly recycled into the next meal.
Cattle and livestock symbolize wealth and are only slaughtered for very special occasions, such as weddings, births and special festive days, and ceremonies. Meat is expensive, so meat, poultry and fish are often only used to impart specific flavors to a dish, rather than as the main meal component. Some of the roasted fish dishes in Ghana, Nigeria and other countries in western Africa would be an exception, but elsewhere it is not uncommon to be served an amazingly aromatic casserole containing very little meat.
The field of ingredients
Plantains are popular in western African cuisine. These starchy, banana-like fruits—which require cooking before eating—are fried, stuffed, boiled or baked.
In most of Africa, it is only what the local land provides that ends up in the cooking pot or on the table. Limitations in logistics and distribution technology result in an involuntary seasonality of produce— and, to a certain extent, bring an African uniqueness to the table. Most crops are still produced privately, obtained through trading, and/or procured from open-air markets.
Agriculture knows no boundaries. It is not defined by political borders, but by geographical and climatic conditions that support or restrict the growth of certain crops. Basic vegetables—potato, onion, tomato, spinach, cabbage and carrot (or local hybrids thereof)— are found all over, but interesting regional produce also abounds:
- Marogo, a pale-green, leaved weed normally found in southern parts of the continent, is used like baby spinach, but has a much-milder and less-astringent flavor. Young leaves are added to casserole-type dishes.
- Madumbe, the African potato, is a small tuber found in southern Africa. This commercially farmed food is very similar to the iris root, but with a stronger, savory flavor. It is used for manufacturing seasoned or flavored fried snacks similar to potato chips.
- Plantain, a big, starchy, banana-like fruit common in eastern and western Africa is fried or stuffed and used in savory or sweet dishes.
- Okra, also called lady's finger, is common in western and northern Africa, but not in sub- Saharan Africa. It is used in meat casseroles.
- Ditloo wild beans—mostly sun-dried and used like pulses—are found in southern Africa.
- Samp, dried maize (corn), is soaked and cooked whole to a thick porridge.
As far as fruit is concerned, Africa is blessed with an incredible selection: Bananas, mangoes, papaya, citrus (orange, lemon and grapefruit), lychee, grapes, dates, apples and pomegranate are commercially produced for global export, but a couple of less-familiar types have been kept back for local use. These include:
- Wild melons—not as sweet as many melons—are cooked and eaten like pumpkins.
- Marula, or elephant fruit, is an astringent, fleshy fruit with a thick, rubbery skin. It's often used to make alcoholic beverages, due to the high sugar content in overripe fruit that feeds fermentation.
- Wild quinces have big, fleshy pips with a sour-tart flavor in a hard shell.
Interestingly, Africans are not big on sweets. Fruit is either consumed on its own as a snack or used green in savory dishes (like Kenyan curried green papaya soup).
Beef, lamb and goat are widely used in dishes and, even though pork is widely available, it is selectively consumed (for religious reasons). Game, like venison and impala, is considered a delicacy due to its scarcity and price. Poultry, mainly chicken or game fowl like quails, guinea fowl, and other water birds, is widely accepted and consumed all over. Western Africans (Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast and Senegal) consume less red meat, but more fish and seafood, than any other region.
Continental influences
Moroccan tagine, an aromatic, simmered stew often seasoned with garlic, cinnamon, cumin, ginger, pepper, saffron and turmeric, can include poultry or lamb and a variety of seasonal vegetables.
North African. Even though North African cuisine—that of Egypt, Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia—is best known for its wide variety of spices, the food is not very hot, but rather aromatically spicy. Cinnamon, cardamom, coriander, cumin and clove are blended into ras el hanout (a complex blend of spices that can include ginger, anise, cinnamon, nutmeg, peppercorns, cloves, cardamom and many others) or dukkah (a mixture of spices, nuts and seeds eaten with pita and olive oil, or used to season dishes or as a crust), and are used with preserved lemon to spice tagine (slow-cooked vegetables with poultry or lamb), couscous and casseroles. Beautiful harissa paste (chiles, garlic, coriander, cumin, caraway and olive oil, and sometimes tomatoes) is used sparingly on its own as a spicy accompaniment to other dishes, or blended with lemon juice and rind, olive oil, parsley, cilantro, onion, and saffron for pungent chermoula paste that makes a lovely marinade for fish and poultry dishes.
The eating culture is relaxed, and mezzes of many small dishes are presented together as a culinary feast that is washed down with pomegranate syrup, mint teas or small cups of sweet, dark coffee and served with tiny portions of extremely sweet breads and pastries. Very little dairy is used. Couscous is the staple of choice.
West African. Cuisine from Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast and Senegal is by far the hottest and spiciest in Africa. The only spices really used are chiles, garlic, ginger and paprika, along with pungent and salty fish paste, tomato paste, or prawn paste, as well as copious quantities of palm oil and peanut butter (called "groundnut butter"), to enrich flavor and add texture to casseroles. Dishes like Nigerian Yoruba (a casserole of beef, chiles, tomato and onion) and Ghanaian palava (a rich, meat-and-fish stew made with palm oil, onions, tomatoes, chiles and spinach) often contain par-smoked meats and are served either with white rice, fufu (steamed potato dumplings) or banku (steamed cornmeal dumplings).
East African. The cuisines of this region—which includes Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania —have an Indian and spice-route influence. Most of the world's clove, coriander and black pepper are produced along Africa's east coast, and they have found their way into the local cuisine. In addition, curry powder, turmeric and masalas (spice blends that can include black pepper, cumin, cloves and cardamom) are widely used with fruit and coconut milk. Another common spice blend is berbere. It can include chiles, ginger, cloves, coriander, allspice, rue berries and ajwain. Rue berries' rather strong flavor is simultaneously aromatic, sweet and hot, while the flavor of ajwain resembles a subtle, aromatic thyme.
Fruits like pineapple, papaya, coconut and mango are not only served with meals to cool the palate, but also widely used to create a tropical flavor. Green, tropical fruits go into savory soups like mtori (Kenyan cream of banana soup) or supaiya papai (spicy green-papaya soup with chicken stock and onion). Plantain is used widely in dishes, or sliced and fried as a snack. Poultry is used more often than fish. Ugali (maize porridge) is the staple and eaten daily. East Africa produces some of the world's finest coffee, and it is widely consumed.
Southern African. It is probably most difficult to characterize the cuisine of southern African countries—including Angola, Botswana, Mozambique and South Africa—because it is so varied. Spices are widely used, but mostly curry powder, chiles (peri peri) and coriander. The remains of the Malay community in the south of South Africa still use a lot of cinnamon, cumin and clove in specialty dishes like bobotie (ground-beef meatloaf with raisins, cinnamon, clove and coriander) and denningvleis (a pulled-beef dish with strong coriander, cumin and clove flavors). Huge portions of red meat are generally consumed in this region— the highest consumption per capita in Africa. Sadsa (maize porridge) served with sheba (a savory tomato and spinach casserole) are staples.
Portuguese culinary influence from both the west coast (Angola) and east coast (Mozambique) has resulted in wonderful seafood dishes like peri peri prawns (shrimp basted with a peri peri sauce—a blend of lemon, garlic, African birds-eye chiles, oil and vinegar— and grilled over an open fire) and frango a cafrial (flattened, whole chickens marinated in, and basted with peri peri, then flame-grilled over an open fire).
Meal patterns
In Africa, basic meals consist of three types of items: a big serving of starch, a savory topping or sauce, and several meal extenders.
In northern Africa, that starch will be couscous, while in western Africa it will be a rice dish, like Nigerian jollof rice (rice with chicken, tomatoes, onion, salt and pepper). In central, eastern or southern Africa, the starch will be a stiff cornmeal porridge or steamed cornmeal dumplings (sadsa, ugali, pap or fufu, depending on the region and country).
Another aspect of meals is the savory topping. This is often tomato-based with chunks of meat and vegetables and flavorings, such as palava from Ghana, maafe (lamb, beef or chicken and peanut sauce stew) from Mali, or Yoruba from Nigeria.
Several vegetable dishes also accompany the meal. In addition, sambals and relishes often extend the main dish. Components like Moroccan chermoula paste or peri peri sauce are often offered as table condiments. Food is shared, often eaten from communal platters.
So, to recreate a typical African meal experience, potential product-development categories could include:
- Dry spices or seasoning blends for rubs or marinades;
- Wet marinades and culinary pastes;
- Sauces for simmering or to pour over foods for quick-recipe dishes;
- Quick-cook dehydrated starches or side items;
- Pre-marinated meats and other proteins for quick preparation and inclusion in casserole-type dishes;
- Prepared ready meals or meal components;
- Relishes, sambals, chutneys and dips.
The secret to a product's commercial success will absolutely depend on how compatible its flavor is with the preferences of the intended market segment. While a dried-fish stew might be a delicacy in Nigeria, it might not translate into a popular dish with the American consumer. Another important aspect is the authenticity of the flavor delivery, and the extent to which the manufacturer can manage to create a "homemade" appearance and texture in the product.
Only recently have big, international food companies entered prosperous markets like Nigeria and Kenya with such prepackaged foods as stock cubes, soup powders and ready-to-use seasonings. Some African companies, like Nando's, Mama Africa's and Mrs. Ball's, have successfully translated some regional dishes and condiments into retail products, and currently export these to the United States. But this is literally the tip of the culinary iceberg. Beneath the surface there lies so much more to be discovered.
So, instead of planning your next culinary expedition to Europe, experience the vibrancy of African life and book that trip to Marrakech or Mombasa. Your taste buds will not be disappointed!
