text: Bollworm pheromone trap catches were higher in all regions this week. Reports from field scouts also indicate that bollworms are being flushed more commonly from fields, so expect to see more bollworm larvae in the near future. Bollworm catches are still fairly low by historical standards, so management decisions should be made on a field-by-field basis. Tobacco budworm and beet armyworm catches were still fairly low, similar to previous weeks.

The transport of proteins across the two mitochondrial membranes is a very complex process. Huge molecular machines recognise the precursor proteins which are formed inside the cell and which are destined for the energy power stations of the cells. Some of these substances pass the outer and the inner membrane, some of them remain in the intermembrane area. How does the sorting of the molecules work? Five years ago, molecular biologist Dr. Agnieszka Chacinska and her team at the University of Freiburg discovered a new molecular system that sorts the molecules and that functions on the basis of a process that is not really possible.
"Once the ternary complex consisting of Mia40, Erv1 and the protein falls apart, this means that two new disulphide bridges have been inserted in the protein, enabling it to fold and remain in the intermembrane space," said Chacinska. "We believe that the individual steps of this rather complex process would not be possible in the reductive environment of the intermembrane space without the shelter formed by Erv1 and Mia40." The intermediary products would most likely be too instable and would quickly be reassembled.
So far, Chacinska and her team have only tested their findings in yeast cells. But in future, they hope to find out whether other proteins that remain in the intermembrane space are processed in a similar way. In addition: Mia40 and Erv1 are absolutely vital for cells. But are there any further substances that maybe regulate this process? And how about this mechanism in the cells of higher organisms?
And another question needs to be answered. The disulphide bridges are the result of chemical reactions in which electrons jump from one molecule to another. Such reactions always produce reactive oxygen molecules as side products. These radicals may cause considerable damage to cells. Ageing and many neurodegenerative diseases are associated with radicals produced in the mitochondria. "Does the system consisting of Mia40 and Erv1 play a role in such undesired effects?" asks Chacinska. "We hope that we will also be able to answer these questions in the future."

THE base of clouds that form over the north-eastern states of the US have been getting ever higher over the past 30 years. It's a change that could severely disrupt forests in the Appalachian Mountains.
Rising cloud ceilings have been spotted before in other parts of the world. In 1999, scientists found that clouds in the Monteverde cloud forests of Costa Rica were not forming as far down the mountains as they once did. This effect was initially attributed to rising sea temperatures in the Caribbean, caused by global warming, but in 2001 Robert Lawton of the University of Alabama in Huntsville reported that the main driving force behind the change was warmer, drier air moving up from the lowlands, which had been cleared of trees (
The rising cloud ceiling has seriously damaged the cloud forest ecology, causing an alarming decline in ...

Kaduna — Nigeria Union of Journalists in Yobe State has blacklisted the Desert Herald, a Kaduna based monthly newspaper.
The decision was taken at a press conference in Damaturu last Wednesday. The union said the decision was to stem the negative trend of the paper which was tarnishing the image of the profession.
The union called on the general public not to relate with the paper, as it had through its publisher, Malam Tukur Mamu continued to engage in blackmail, character assassination and lies, while also engaging in acts that are against the code of ethics in the profession.
The state chairman of the NUJ Comrade Ahmed Bedu who addressed the press conference in Damaturu on Wednesday said the state chapter has tabled a formal complaint to the National Executive Council (NEC) of the NUJ during its meeting in Jalingo, Taraba State penultimate Saturday against the "stubbornness of Desert Herald".
Comrade Bedu said, "I want to emphasize here that the Yobe State NUJ is credible and its members have continued to tow the path of fair play, justice and peace with the overall aim of enhancing unity and tranquility in Nigeria".
He challenged Mamu to show the particulars of registration of his newspaper with the National Press Council and other regulatory agencies adding that the union must take a bold step to protect Nigerian citizens from malicious and ungodly publications in the name of journalism.
"The union has therefore conferred on us the power to flush out quacks among us. This is indeed a task that must be accomplished", the NUJ chairman said.
Bedu said, "I want to inform you that by this address, the Desert Herald is hereby blacklisted. Members of the general public are therefore advised not to have any dealings with the paper".
The zonal national vice chairman, who was in attendance, Alhaji Mukhtar Gidado, acknowledged the receipt of formal complaint against the Desert Herald saying the national secretariat of the union has commenced investigation into the "raging feud between the Yobe chapter of the NUJ and the Desert Herald".

Option Taxation And Margin Requirements - Protective Puts
An investor who has purchased a protective put on a stock held less than 12 months will cap the holding period for that stock at 12 months and will have a short term gain or loss on the sale of the stock. If the stock was held for more than 12 months before purchasing the put, any gain or loss will be long term. Married puts purchased on the same day as the stock will not automatically create a short-term gain or loss for the stock so long as the puts are identified as a hedge or as married puts when the order is executed. If the put expires, the put's premium is added to the stock's cost base.

Aaron Hernandez charged with murder of Odin Lloyd, held without bail
During his arraignment, police revealed that Aaron Hernandez, 23, has been charged with the murder of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd. The former NFL star also faces five gun-related charges including possession of a firearm without a license, possession of a firearm without an ID card and possession a large capacity firearm.
Hernandez was arrested at approximately 8:47 a.m. on June 26 after over a week of police investigation. Not long after news of his arrest broke, the New England Patriots released the tight end from the team.
"A young man was murdered last week and we extend our sympathies to the family and friends who mourn his loss," the team says in a statement. "Words cannot express the disappointment we feel knowing that one of our players was arrested as a result of this investigation. We realize that law enforcement investigations into this matter are ongoing. We support their efforts and respect the process. At this time, we believe this transaction is simply the right thing to do."
Lloyd was the boyfriend of Hernandez' girlfriend's sister, and was also a football player. The motive for the crime has not been revealed. Lloyd's body was found dead on June 17, shot with a gun execution style.
Hernandez is being held without bail. "The involvement of an NFL player in a case of this nature is deeply troubling. The Patriots have released Aaron Hernandez, who will have his day in court. At the same time, we should not forget the young man who was the victim in this case and take this opportunity to extend our deepest sympathy to Odin Lloyd's family and friends," the NFL says in a statement.

CT Scan and a Bad IV; or, What I Did on My X-mas Vacation!
Over the next several hours, every anxiety and fury of the past month decided to visit my dreams. Students crowded into my face, their body odor suffocating me, their teeth bared as they screamed at me for not grading their assignments because the assignments had been submitted to the wrong places at the wrong times and well past the due date, or for grading them too hard and causing them to lose their financial aid and also to fail their other classes that they neglected to devote time to mine, or insisting to me that their plagiarism was not plagiarism since history is all facts and there is no other way to state facts than the way the author of Wikipedia, the Encyclopedia Britannica, and Eric Foner stated them.* Dear god, the pain!
Dear! God! The pain!
I awoke knowing that the day would not go well. My brain was being crucified. One massive, fiery spike of pain drove straight down through the top of my head, and the other through my eye socket, taking part of my forehead and cheekbone with it. I tried to isolate the pain to these two gigantic spikes and imagine pushing them out of my head, like I used to do when I was in high school and college. This technique no longer works. In fact, this technique only caused the searing snakes of pain to awaken, tighten their coils about my jaw and neck as they slithered down my back, rattling sparks of pain from my temple to cleft.
The sounds of my aunt making coffee in the kitchen gave me hope. Caffeine could save me. Maybe? With some help. I flailed about the room, finding the Sudafed finding the ibuprofen, thinking that I might also find Jesus if he would just make the goddamn pain fucking stop right now!
"Get on with the day," I told myself. "Drink coffee, have a conversation, take a shower, go to the children's museum with the nephews. This will all go away before you know it."
"Are you fucking out of your pain-addled mind!" the other side of my head said. "This one is worse than the Red Wine Brain Tumor of 2008. Hell, this one is damn well nearing the Quit Paxil Cold Turkey and Began To Think Trepanation Was A Good Idea attack of 1997. Sudafed and coffee will not touch it. This headache will kick Sudafed and coffee's collective ass."
While being out of my mind seemed a good place to go at that point, I simply reassured the other side of my brain that the current situation was in no way comparable to 2008 or 1997 if for no other reason than that I had not thrown up. Doctors always ask you to rate your pain on a scale of 1 to 10. I never consider anything above a five unless I'm throwing up. So, I downed the Sudafed with the coffee and tried to smile pleasantly over breakfast.
If you ever have occasion to be in my situation of Tuesday morning, do not panic when you puke red. It's not blood. It's just the dye from the pills.
Yes, this migraine not only kicked Sudafed and coffee's collective ass, it bounced them right out the front door. Then it decided to bounce out whatever else was left of the previous night's dinner, followed by any spare acid that didn't wash out the first two times, followed by dry air that sounded a bit like it was trying to rip my stomach out and pitch it, too. It let me go to bed for a few hours, then woke me up to whup a little more ass, except without the Sudafed, coffee, or previous night's dinner. Honestly, I wouldn't have been surprised to see my lower intestine, or at least a lung, come up.
As I stood there in the bathroom, bracing myself on the toilet roll dispenser and tank (I wasn't going to touch the floor or even the seat itself -- two six-year old boys with bad aim had been in the house for a week, after all), I couldn't stop myself from thinking, "dammit! I really should have pigged out last night. What's the good of throwing your guts up if it can't have a little purge involved?" Then, the thought of eating sent my midsection into convulsions again, and I cheered myself with the thought that at least my abs were getting a good, solid workout.
The day progressed. My nephews exerted a monumental effort to maintain a decibel level that, while not quite in the "quiet" range, certainly demonstrated an amount of self-control unknown in most small children. At one point, they drifted back to my part of the house in order to refresh the toy supply in the living room. Seeing me prostrate with pain in the next room, they tiptoed in and whispered, "we're sorry you're sick, Aunt Clio."
I can't compete with Santa or Mom and Dad or Grandmas and Grandpas in the present department with the boys, so I don't even try. Instead, I get them t-shirts and souvenirs and candy and dumb little $2 toys randomly hanging from the shelves in grocery stores. It gives them a few days of joy and excitement. If I'm lucky, it also gives me a little payback with their dads -- my brothers. This time, I brought them these little gadgets that you can stick in your mouth, then flick a tiny button with your tongue and little lights will flash like a police car in between your teeth. Guess what they were wearing when they came in to offer their well wishes to Aunt Clio?
Later, the younger one, Boudreaux, got mad at his uncle, who -- if you want to make a chart -- is my brother and the father of the older nephew, the Spider. Boudreux sulked in the room next to my Chamber o'Pain. I could hear little sniffs and pouts coming through the wall. Then, I heard his uncle, my brother, father of the older nephew: "Hey, you little asshole."
"You're an asshole," said Boudreaux.
"No, you're the asshole," said his uncle.
"No, you're the asshole," said Boudreaux.
"Well, fuck you," said his uncle.
"Fuck you, you fucking fuck," said Boudreaux. I think I heard his voice catch.
"No, fuck you," said his uncle. "If you don't straighten up, I'm gonna kick you in the nuts."
"I'm going to kick you in the nuts," said Boudreaux. He paused to stop himself from giggling. "I'm going to kick you in the nuts so hard that they will go up on your chest and then you'll have boobies."
"Good one, little man," said his uncle. "Put it here!" I heard the smack of a high five.
The cuss fest proceeded in that manner for about fifteen minutes, which was, in fact, long enough to defuse the tantrum. Sadly, it was not long enough to defuse the migraine. Although, I am ashamed to say, a six-year old painting portraits in profanity provided an amusing distraction from the searing pain that shortly sent me back to my post in the bathroom.
Other than those two incidents, the rest of the evening and night passed pretty much as the day had until I stumbled into the kitchen in the morning, threw myself at my father's feet, and begged to be taken to a doctor. Sure, I knew that needles would more than likely be involved in one way or another; but I didn't care. I wanted drugs. Lots and lots of drugs. "Stick the goddamn IV in my head," I would say to the doctor, whom I envisioned as looking a bit like House and who would, therefore, have some bootlegged Vicodin on hand. "Give me a shot in the eye! Just make the bad pain stop!"
If the doctor were Gregory House, he probably would have hooked up an IV to my eye. Meanwhile, back in reality, my dad's doctor couldn't fit me in until 3 pm, so we took a little trip to the ER. I wasn't sure that I was going to make the 10 minute car trip without vomiting my pyloric valve or gall bladder or something of that sort, so I kept my hand on the button to roll down the window. "Drugs," I moaned, like a mantra. "Give me drugs."
First, before they can give you drugs, they make you fill out forms. My dad had to do the writing for me because the glare of the white paper sent a searing hacksaw of pain down the center of my skull. Fortunately, my dad knew some of the vital information like my name and birth date. I could just hand him cards and bottles for things like my address, insurance information and prescriptions. I could have even given him a calendar for the date of my last menstrual cycle. Fortunately for us both, this set of forms did not ask for that particular detail. I had to hand him cards rather than tell him this information because the migraine stood like a big ugly spiky wall between the box in my head where that information was stored and my ability to communicate anything other than "Owwwwwwww!" or "Shoot me!" or "Drugs. Lots and lots of drugs."
Once the whole form situation passed, they took me into the back and gave me some sort of minty wafer to stop the nausea. The nausea, aside from its fact, was irrelevant to my possible condition. "Puking all night?" they seemed to say. "Duly noted. Now it may end." The pain, on the other hand, they wanted around until a doctor could examine it. Fortunately, the lack of nausea seemed to take the pain down from five gigazillion to a mere 1 gazillion on a scale from 1 to 10 "with 10 being the worst pain you've ever had."
Incidentally, I was in the ER from around 10 am until 3 pm. I saw a nurse practitioner, three nurses of another variety, a radiologist of some sort, and a guy from the business department who took my co-payment. Not once did I see a doctor. Just like on House.
Thoughts of House actually did amuse me for the long stretches of time that they left me alone in dark rooms. House and er. House thoughts amused me more because I relish fantasies of being as much of a dick as he is and not giving one good goddamn about what other people think. er thoughts just annoyed me, and I wondered if any of the doctors or nurses would chase me out into the pouring rain if I just hopped up and walked out of my particular emergency room. That was always happening on er. Then, I remembered the story line about Mark Greene getting a brain tumor.
At which point, the nurse returned to take me for a CT scan. This, I must say, thrilled me to no end. Understand, I have not had a massive migraine for years, with the exception of the Red Wine Tumor of 2008 (which ensured that I will never ever touch red wine again). There was a time, however, when I had them almost twice a month, each lasting at least four days. For nearly a year, not one doctor that I saw would call what I was having a migraine. One old creaker even told me that I wasn't really having headaches and that, because I was on Prozac, I needed to quit expecting doctors to solve all of my problems with pills. That was about 1996.
Finally, somewhere around 1998, a doctor took one look at me curled up on the cool cool tiles of his darkened examination room floor and said, "oh, yeah, that's a migraine." Still, no one would do much beyond prescribe this med or that, even the neurologist who I saw for awhile in about 2002 and who prescribed me medicine for epilepsy. I always wondered why they didn't do some sort of head scan, given the frequency and intensity of the headaches. So, on Wednesday, the fact that not only did none of the nurses question my headache, but they all automatically turned the lights off in whatever room they placed me, and then someone said, "let's do a CT scan," well, that was just about the highlight of my headache history (except for realizing that I hadn't had one in years). I was so happy that I almost asked them to scan my right hip, which has been aching a bit, and then my left knee, which I injured skydiving in 1993, and then maybe even my heart to see if it grew three sizes that day, just for good measure. Hell, as long as we are checking out aches and pains to rule out worst-case-scenarios, let's go for it!
Later, after the scan -- which, incidentally, did not involve shoving me into a gigantic tube and did not reveal a sinus infection or brain tumor -- they put me in another darkened room. This one with a bed. They forgot to leave the remote control for the t.v. Back in the migraine plagues, I used to cope by drugging myself with whatever over-the-counter nighttime formula headache medicine I had, then shutting myself in a pitch dark room, putting on sun glasses, turning on the t.v. with the volume down just low enough to distract me, and waiting until I passed out so I would no longer have to be present for the pain. When I told the nurses that this method was how I usually treated headaches, I'm not certain that they believed me. I kept feeling like I gave the wrong answer to that question, and they asked it about ten times that day.
The worst part about waiting for an hour or eight days or however long it was until the nurse returned with the treatment, was knowing that the next step most certainly would involve needles. "Let's just get this shit over with," I kept thinking. "Stick the goddamn needle in. I can live through that pain, and then this pain will go away." I secretly hoped for an IV rather than a shot. I know, that seems counter intuitive given my distress at the mere thought of sharp objects that don't leave behind something pretty; but I felt that I had made my peace with the IV after my bladder spelunking procedure of last year. The nurse then had been so kind to show me that the needle was a mere wire, that the wire could be bent in half and wouldn't break, and that the wire only punctured the skin in order to push in a soft and tiny plastic tube. Anxiety abated. That, and they pumped in some nice muscle relaxers or something equally groovy at the time, too.
Eventually, they let my dad in. He's a big wimp about needles, too, so he sympathized. We had a nice little chat, completely devoid of all issues and reminding me of the things that are generous and good about him. He also went on recon for the remote, to no avail, and then looked up migraines on his iPhone. Nothing new has filtered down through the intertubes about them since I last checked.
A year, maybe two, later, the nurse reappeared. She had a plastic basket bristling with needles. "Aw, I was hoping for an IV," I said.
"The meds come in an IV," she replied. I'm not sure where they put the bag, or even if they really did have a bag, since I didn't see that part of the contraption; but I'll trust that this wasn't some sort of placebo ruse to fake me out of the headache. Of course, once she came in, I had to start getting myself mentally prepared for the puncture, so I didn't look too carefully in her direction.
As she started opening packages and setting out objects and binding up my arm to pop up a vein, I started my yoga breathing. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale, focus on filling your lungs. Exhale, blow out all the tension. Inhale, it's only a tiny pinch. Exhale, it's over in a second. Inhale, I have good veins. Exhale, so why is this taking so long? Inhale, this is much more painful than before. Exhale, and the pain is now going up my arm. Inhale, I'm not sure I can handle the squickiness of this any longer. Exhale, "something is wrong."
The nurse had seen my feet squiggling, despite my yoga breathing, and stopped sticking. "Yeah," she said, "there's a nerve that runs right up next to that vein. Yours aren't showing up very well. I'm going to have to try somewhere else. How are the veins in your hands?"
I thought the veins in my arms were good, so obviously I'm not the best judge. I'm also not as good at my yoga breathing as I thought, either. I nearly passed out, and I was laying down. The hell of it was, when I realized that she was going to have to stick me again, I had a hard time keeping myself under control and hoped that I would faint dead away like a proper Victorian heroine. She could just hook me up while I was out. Sadly, they don't let you do that.
So, I lay there, flat on my back, breathing deeply in and out, and trying desperately to unclench, at the very least, my arm. I don't know what she was doing, but that stick was not a mere pinch then sweet relief. That stick was a mere pinch, followed by another mere pinch, followed by a squeeze or two, followed by that sensation that doesn't quite qualify as pain, but is damn close and certainly makes you squirm. That pinch and squirmy feeling stayed. The squirmy feeling still hasn't left.**
Then my jaws started chattering. I couldn't stop them. They clacked like maracas in my head. I tried holding them in place with my free hand. I tried massaging my jaw. I tried my clearly inadequate yoga breathing. Nothing. My feet began to jiggle, too. I imagined myself as some clattering marionette of a skeleton shot through with electricity, trembling about the bed. All the while, I held my right arm ever more rigid because the squicky, squirmy, pinchy feeling emanating from my hand blew away all of my knowledge of actual IVs and replaced them with my old visions of enormous needles sticking through the walls of my veins and breaking off in my arm. I must hold very very still. Of course, my feet and my jaws rattled even more furiously.
Notice how I haven't mentioned the pain in my head in a few paragraphs. The snake still coiled and rattled. The demons still hammered at the spikes; but now I was distracted by the very uncomfortable place my body had become to inhabit. The IV had taken my attention away from the headache, but the headache could take my attention away from the IV. The TV could have provided a nice distraction from both, but the remote was gone. So, there I lay, flat on my back, with some weird form of self-induced ADD bouncing me back and forth from one unpleasantness to another.
Somewhere in all of the jiggling and chattering and squirming, I began to notice something fading. The fade was slow, like the twilight, when you don't really know when you pass from one state to another, and you aren't quite certain that you trust the transition anyway. I felt the migraine falling back, and I couldn't quite acknowledge its drift because the second that I noticed, it advanced again. Still, I felt it on the periphery, receding.
As I turned my head slightly to the left, in the direction of the pain, to observe the retreat without being seen, I saw my father patiently sitting in the chair much too small for his girth, reading a bit more about migraines on his iPhone. I saw my father and I saw a shadow dissolve and float down to the floor like ashes. I blinked to right my vision. Still, slightly, slowly, not quite certainly, the dissolve continued.
"What have I been so angry about?" I wondered.
"It's the drugs," the other side of my head told me. "Also, you KNOW you have reason to be angry."
"Yeah," I told myself. "That's true. Still, isn't that anger just the echo of an anger, not the real thing anymore? The real anger isn't relevant now, is it?"
"Well, I'll let the drugs talk if that's what they are saying," the other side of my head said.
The anger, it's really just a delayed sense of rebellion, of running away or shoving off from the first part of life. The anger also keeps you connected to it, and the anger keeps you running further and further if you really must, to keep yourself safe, to keep you aware of the bad ideas with which you were raised, to keep you trying to create a better set of ideas. At some point, however, you've actually made yourself safe, no longer have to constantly guard against the bad ideas because you inhabit a better set of ideas. You don't have to be angry. You don't have to run. You don't have to take certain things personally because they can no longer hurt you (or you know you can survive the hurt), or limit you, or threaten you. They aren't about you any longer.
I saw my dad, and all of the things that I have written about here, all of the anger from them, all of the anger that pushed me away from there, that kept me from going back there, that kept me fumbling along whatever winding road that has become my life and my life that is making more satisfied as I bumble forward -- all of that anger had begun to dissolve right before my drug and pain-addled eyes. The entire time that I was in Texas, I did not become angry once about anything. I did not pass judgement on other people's life choices. I did not pass judgement on other people's lives. I did not puff myself up to feel some sense of value in myself. I felt value in myself as myself and not in resistance to anything else; and, as part of the same sense of separateness, I saw value in my parents and my brothers as themselves and not as any connection to myself. I felt liberated and I felt an odd, less-diluted sense of love and well-being.
By the time the nurses returned to check on me, the headache could no longer distract me from the squirmy, pinchy IV, and I felt safe enough to tell them they could unhook me and not worry too much about the demons and the snake returning with reinforcements. They unhooked me -- and goddamn that tape holding in the IV was tight! -- and sent me on my way with prescriptions for some sort of anti-nausea medication and painkillers. Vicodin. Just like on House!
Because the migraine was so bad, I've kept a lookout for them since. I don't look directly toward the point of their retreat, for fear that will only encourage them to return. Occasionally I feel little pangs, like echoes of a migraine, or aftershocks. Simply writing about them here has caused me to reach for the Pseudophed a few times. In other words, I don't entirely trust that it has gone.
Similarly, I don't entirely trust this new feeling in regard to my family and their related issues. It feels so tentative. After all, drugs were involved. I can't exactly call it a peace or forgiveness or anything redemptive like that; but peace and forgiveness are within the realm of possibility. In fact, any kind of possibility seems possible at this particular moment. I want to see where that road might go.
*All real conversations that I have had in the past month.
**Seriously, is it possible for your veins to get bruised? I think all of the clenching did some damage. The vein from the puncture up past my wrist has become slightly rigid. In my mind, of course, part of the tube was left in my arm, and the tube is not a narrow, flexible thread, but a plastic straw like the kind you get in your Coke at McDonald's. Every hour or so, I shudder from the sensation. If I become to aware of the ache in my arm, my jaws start to chatter. The squick factor has also left me with a case of insomnia (note the hour of this post).

As someone who has severe chronic migraines, I'm still stuck at your pain control method. Do migraine meds not work for you? But bad migraines can be life changing. That much pain is trippy.

I'm so sorry you had to deal with a migraine like that. . . but interesting that the drugs gave you new perspective on your family.
IV needles are big -- I don't see why you couldn't get bruised.
Hope you've had some nice things too. A day in the ER with a migraine is not a good Christmas vacation...

I'm sorry to hear about your misery! I hope the migraines stay far, far away.
About IVs - when I had my wisdom teeth out (a few millenia ago), I think they hit that nerve your nurse mentioned. My arm was really effing sore for days, and then it was pins & needles-y/hit-my-funny-bone-y for seriously a month. So I don't know if veins can bruise, but I do think IVs can screw you up. (I hate the feeling of having an IV in, too.)

What a dreadful experience--except for the sense of forgiveness. Whatever you do, wherever your relationships go, it can be in the light of knowing what that feels like, rather than working toward something unknown.

- Proof Point Nationally ranked Georgetown University uses Novell technology to consolidate servers by 90% and cut implementation time for new applications by 50%!
- Trend Talk Trends come and go. Is the trend of buying and selling software as we've known it for 25 years about to end? What's on the horizon and what's the next evolutionary step?
A nationally ranked business school, Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business used Novell Open Enterprise Server running SUSE Linux Enterprise to consolidate servers by 90 percent and cut implementation time for new applications by 50 percent.
Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business is a premier business school located in the nation's capital. Founded in 1957 to educate undergraduate business students through the integration of liberal arts and professional education, the McDonough School has approximately 1,300 undergraduate and 1,000 graduate students and 250 faculty and staff.
Preparing students for corporate careers is the number-one priority for Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business. The business school models its own IT infrastructure after progressive corporate environments, such as leading investment firms, to provide students with access to the latest technology.
The business school wanted to move to Linux to provide better performance for its Web applications and services, as well as to leverage virtualization. The school also wanted to find the best collaboration tool to help its students work in groups, regardless of location.
The McDonough School evaluated enterprise solutions from Microsoft and Red Hat before selecting Novell Open Enterprise Server running SUSE Linux Enterprise.
"Novell has bullet-proof solutions which can't be said about many other vendors," said John Carpenter, CTO of the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University. "We get all the tools that our students will need in the real world. We also like Novell's forward-thinking attitude about Linux."
The McDonough School worked with Novell Consulting to update its infrastructure to Novell Open Enterprise Server running SUSE Linux Enterprise. Using VMware, the IT staff created virtual servers and is using just a tenth of its data center space. The school can easily build and test servers before implementation, and can set up new virtual servers without the need for additional hardware.
"We started out with 2–3 racks of servers, but now run virtual servers on just a few blade servers," said Carpenter. "The number of virtual servers we have now outnumbers the amount of physical servers we previously had, and they are far easier to manage. Our entire environment is also faster than our previous infrastructure."
All of the business school's mission-critical applications now run on SUSE Linux Enterprise, including Apache, Novell GroupWise, Novell Teaming + Conferencing, Web services, and the school's Intranet and corporate Web site.
"Our Web site serves as a critical recruiting tool so if it goes down we could lose potential students," said Carpenter. "SUSE Linux Enterprise gives us great performance and unmatched security. We can run everything on Linux."
Novell iPrint, a component of Novell Open Enterprise Server, helps the business school manage printing services for all its students. Students select a printer from a graphical map to automatically download a printer driver and print from campus or their dorm room to any network printer. The IT staff no longer has to install printer drivers for individual students and also has sophisticated metering services to track all printing.
"We have a high turnover of students and the self-service capabilities of Novell iPrint have eliminated the time we used to spend installing printer drivers," said Carpenter.
Students at the business school often work in teams and study groups, though not necessarily in the same location or time zone. The McDonough School evaluated collaboration solutions including Xerox DocuShare and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server before working with ALI, a Novell Platinum partner, to implement Novell Teaming + Conferencing.
With Novell Teaming + Conferencing, students and staff can create their own virtual workspaces to share files, edit documents, create blogs and wikis, and set up Web conferences. They no longer need IT support to set up mapped drives or shared folders.
"The best part about Novell Teaming + Conferencing is that students and staff can manage their own workspaces and adapt them to their specific needs," said Carpenter. "Novell Teaming + Conferencing has created a whole new standard for file sharing and document management."
The McDonough School runs Novell GroupWise on Linux for its 3,000 users and uses GroupWise Messenger for secure instant messaging. With the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, the IT staff can support the school's mobile users.
With Novell Open Enterprise Server running on SUSE Linux Enterprise, the McDonough School of Business has created an infrastructure that mirrors a progressive corporate environment. Using virtualization, the IT staff has consolidated servers by 90 percent and has reduced implementation time for new applications by 50 percent.
With Novell Teaming + Conferencing, the business school dramatically improved collaboration among students, faculty and staff with a solution that was 70 percent less than the cost of a competitive alternative.
"The great thing about working with Novell is that they come up with great new products that make our jobs easier," said Carpenter. "When our IT infrastructure is running smoothly, we spend less time reacting to problems and more time thinking about what we want to do in the future."

Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk will let Arjen Robben make his own judgment over his fitness this week.
The winger has missed the Netherlands' two Group E victories with a hamstring problem so far as his team-mates breezed into the last 16 by beating Denmark and Japan.
The Bayern Munich man seems to be nearing full fitness ahead of Thursday's dead rubber with Cameroon in Cape Town and the coach will let Robben decide himself whether he can play.
"I am going to leave him to make the decision," said Van Marwijk. "He knows his own body best and he will let me know when he is ready.
"It can be in the next game or it can be in the knockout phase. He must take the decision. I'd prefer that he is used only when he is fit."

Keeping the Lights On at Growing Businesses
The Principal introduces new overhead expense insurance policy
April 5, 2011 (Des Moines, Iowa) – Business owners report protecting their business is their top priority according to a recent study conducted by Harris Interactive for the Principal Financial Group®[1]. A new overhead expense insurance policy from The Principal® protects businesses by providing reimbursement for business expenses if the owner becomes too sick or hurt to work.
Overhead expense is a disability insurance policy that provides a business owner with needed funds to pay the immediate costs of keeping a business open if the owner becomes disabled. Each month the owner is unable to work, the policy provides reimbursement for bills associated with running the business such as utilities and property taxes.
"For growing businesses, the ability for the owner to work is critical to the bottom line. An overhead expense insurance policy helps keep the doors open to the business when the owner becomes disabled," said Kevin Farley, vice president of individual disability for the Principal Financial Group. "By continuing to pay the bills, the business maintains goodwill with customers, vendors and creditors. The owner can return to work at a financially sound business or sell the business if the owner is unable to return to work."
Several features including lower new issue rates, revised definitions of disability and new benefit factors make this policy ideal for business protection. A newly added Advance Benefit, which provides payment of the first monthly benefit without required expense documentation, creates less paperwork and saves time for the owner.
"With our expertise in working with business owners and our suite of individual disability insurance options, we give advisors all the necessary tools to help their business owner clients build a strong financial foundation and protect against the unexpected," notes Farley.

By Heather Forsgren WeaverAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23, 2010 Heather Forsgren Weaver of American Forces Press Service is a regular contributor to Family Matters. Heather's been heavily involved in this blog from the start. She edits, helps write and posts content on a daily basis.
In this blog, Heather writes about modules developed by the Defense Department's Education Activity that are now being shared with civilian public schools.
Modules Can Help My 'Boyfriend'
I have a "boyfriend" and it isn't my husband of 13 years. It the 6-year old across the street. "Mike" is autistic. One of the things Mike does is sit at the front door and wait for "Miss Heather" to come outside. If I am home, his mother will call and ask me to come outside and go to the mailbox. That's usually all I have to do for Mike to stop being fixated on where I am.
This year Mike started kindergarten after two years of special preschool. His progress has been amazing. I've now just learned about something else that might help Mike. When I get home tonight I am going to ask Mike's mother if his school has access to special-education modules developed by the Defense Department's Education Activity.
Elaine Wilson wrote about the modules in her American Forces Press Service article, "DOD Supports Military Children in Public Schools."
"The modules were developed so they could be used on a widespread basis," Kathy Facon, the activity's chief of educational partnership, told Elaine in a recent interview. "Much of the information can be applied to any teachers, not just those in special education."
The 16 modules cover a broad range of topics including mediation and conflict resolution, and classroom behavior management strategies. Teachers can self-pace through the modules, or a facilitator can use the guide to present to several teachers.
As a civilian, I am awed at how much our military does to help the community. These modules are just another example of something developed to help military children in military schools that can be used by anyone – maybe even Mike's teachers.
The activity is doing a lot for military kids who attend public schools. For example, some of the $96 million in grants to school districts is going to be used for additional counseling support and virtual-learning opportunities, Elaine wrote.
There is also an online resource, "Students at the Center" that is designed for both military families and the schools military children attend.
For military parents, the resource offers tips on navigating the public-education system and information on report cards, school performance and district achievement levels.
For school leaders, the resource has information on military families and how public-school leaders can facilitate a safe and stable environment for military students.
"We've brought information that was available in many different formats into one location," Facon told Elaine.
Online information developed by the activity for both military families and public school leaders is available on the "Military K-12 Partners" website.
The activity also wants to learn from the public-school system, Facon told Elaine.
"Many public schools have fabulous programs that we can replicate as we share our own programs," she said. "We want students to be performing to their best potential, and we want to make sure students from military families can do that anywhere."

Now that Vampire Diaries co-stars Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev have split up in real life, their professional relationship will have to mirror that of Gossip Girls' Penn Badgley and Blake Lively, who broke up in 2010 but had to continue working together.
Penn recently did an interview with Elle where he talked about what their relationship taught him: "I don't know if I can distill it into a sentence, or even articulate it," Penn said. "We were very much caught up in the show, which itself was a six-year endurance test. Our relationship was a part of that and helped us through it. I mean, like anything valuable, it was good and it was bad and it was a learning experience."
But it had to have been completely awkward for Penn to get married to Blake's character on the show, while she went through a real-life wedding with Ryan Reynolds, right? Let's just say Penn didn't send them a wedding gift.
Now that the show is over, does Penn still get compared to Lonely Boy in the dating world? "Some of them do," he said. "But the kind of women I'm interested in—they're smart enough not to expect me to be Dan."

In 1906, Peter Pan was already a theatrical sensation, having been performed for two consecutive Christmas seasons, and having drawn capacity audiences of children and adults alike. Barrie's publishers, Hodder & Stoughton, eager to share in this new literary success, invited Barrie to novelize the play, and at Barrie's initial refusal (later, in 1911, Barrie did novelize the play as Peter and Wendy), they suggested an alternative solution: commissioning Arthur Rackham to illustrate the Peter Pan chapters from The Little White Bird which would be published as a stand-alone book. The result was the celebrated Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, a book with 50 lavish illustrations, a worthy …

Gathering for its conference in Perth, the Scottish National Party has made a bid to reclaim the ground that it has lost to Labour in recent months.
A bid to reverse the coalition government's refusal to abolish the Act of Settlement has been mounted by an SNP MP ahead of the Pope's visit.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) must pay the entire cost of renewing the Trident nuclear weapons system, the government confirmed today. This increases the chances of Trident renewal being delayed or scrapped as nuclear weapons have previously been funded by the Treasury.
The Liberal Democrats have been accused of voting "against their own policy" after opposing a motion to include the Trident nuclear weapons system in the Strategic Defence Review.
The coalition government will come under pressure on nuclear weapons today, as a number of new MPs from different parties visit Downing Street to call for government action on disarmament.
Britain's first Green MP has warned against describing a coalition of Labour and the Liberal Democrats as a "progressive alliance", saying that such a name would have to be earned.
The Scottish National Party and Plaid Cymru are calling for a 'progressive alliance' government for Britain, involving themselves, Labour and the Liberal Democrats.
The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament have said that some constituencies have become "Trident marginals", in which a closely fought contest involves different views on the issue.
A senior Liberal Democrat has said his party may choose to scrap all the UK's nuclear weapons, suggesting a different emphasis to party leader Nick Clegg's focus on a cheaper alternative to Trident.
The Green Party have welcomed comments by Plaid Cymru and the Scottish National Party (SNP) over the importance of nuclear weapons as an election issue.

As we close out 2011, I did not want to forget to applaud the welcome attention this year brought to maximizing the entrepreneurial potential of women. A recent report, Overcoming the Gender Gap: Women Entrepreneurs as Economic Drivers, showed that despite the fact that about 46 percent of the workforce and more than 50 percent of college students are female, they represent only about 35 percent of startup business owners and tend to experience less growth and prosperity compared to firms started by men. Further, women take fewer steps to position themselves to start high-growth companies. At the university innovation level, female faculty patent their research at only about 40 percent of the rate of their male colleagues, and they tend to rely on formal university conduits to commercialize their research, rather than reaching out to private industry.
As Lesa Mitchell, Kauffman Foundation vice president for advancing innovation, and the paper's author, pointed out, "Women's entrepreneurship is an economic issue, not a gender-equity issue." And thanks to organizations like Astia and events like the Kauffman Foundation's FastTrac Global Women's Summit in Kansas City last month and the We Own it Summit in London in June, the next 10 years are being called the 'Decade of the Woman Entrepreneur'. This and other summits in 2011 brought together bright minds to address the motivations, funding issues, metrics and solutions for women's participation in high-growth entrepreneurship. With more data now available, at such events we can finally start separating more myths from reality.
For example, scientific education is not the main barrier in the U.S where more women than men are earning PhDs in the biological sciences. The problem is that few have been educated as innovators. Without entrepreneurial education, this growing percentage of the scientifically skilled community will not contribute to U.S. economic competitiveness through innovation. Researcher and prolific writer Vivek Wadhwa's findings also helped dispel motivation assumptions. His data shows that both men and women tend to have an equally strong desire to build wealth. The only clearly perceptible difference was in the encouragement that they received from co-founders.
The lack of encouragement of high-growth female entrepreneurship trickles down to the investment pool. For instance, a study by the Angel Capital Education Foundation (ACEF) revealed that of the estimated 225,000 angels who invested a combined $23.1 billion in nearly 50,000 entrepreneurial deals in 2005, no more than eight percent were female. In the 2009 funded list of top VCs, only one in 84 was a woman.
During these tough economic times, when entrepreneurship is so important to adding dynamism and jobs to the economy, women hold a key to economic growth. The untapped potential of women as entrepreneurs, mentors and investors is a missed opportunity not just for women, but for entire economies.

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, December 29, 3 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Strahan Coliseum (7,200) -- San Marcos, Texas. Television: None. Home Record: SJSU 3-2, Texas State 3-3. Away Record: SJSU 2-2, Texas State 0-3. Neutral Record: SJSU 0-1, Texas State 1-2. Conference Record: SJSU 0-0, Texas State 0-0. Series Record: First-ever meeting.
GAME NOTES: The Texas State Bobcats are set to open their Western Athletic Conference schedule, as they host the San Jose State Spartans at Strahan Coliseum.
Texas State, a member of the Southland Conference last season, is playing its first-ever conference game as a new member of the WAC. This marks the first time these two programs have ever squared off on the hardwood.
Texas State has lost three straight and five of its last six games overall. The Bobcats have been idle since a 92-80 setback at Central Michigan on Dec. 20. They'll stick around campus to host Utah State on Monday.
The Spartans have followed up a three-game winning streak by losing each of their last two contests. Their most recent outing resulted in a 77-68 setback to James Madison last Saturday in the Vegas Holiday Hoops event. Following this tilt, they'll play at UTSA on Monday.
SJSU shot just 38.6 percent from the floor against James Madison, and that included a 4-of-15 effort from beyond the arc. After taking a 34-24 lead into the half and then going up by 13 on D.J. Brown's 3-pointer to open the second half, the Spartans watched their lead crumble in a big way. JMU shot a ridiculous 78.3 percent from the floor in the second half, including a perfect 7-of-7 effort from the perimeter to outscore the Spartans by 19 over the final 20 minutes. It was a stark contract from a first half that saw JMU held to 25.8-percent shooting from the floor and 2-of-14 from long range. Making his first start of the season, LaVanne Pennington paced SJSU with 16 points in the loss, while Brown finished with 15 points and eight assists. The Spartans were without James Kinney, the WAC's leading scorer (22.6 ppg), who was suspended for a violation of team rules. Brown (10.8 ppg) is the team's only other player averaging double figures, as SJSU struggled to generate easy buckets.
Texas State distributes things a bit more evenly on the offensive end, as six different players are averaging at least 7.5 ppg. Matt Staff leads the way with 15.8 ppg to go along with 6.1 rebounds. He has connected on 50.7 percent of his field-goal attempts while shooting a healthy 42.5 percent from the perimeter (17-of-40). Joel Wright is right on his heels with 15.4 ppg, and he leads the team with 6.7 rebounds per contest. In their latest outing, the Bobcats shot 50.8 percent from the floor playing in unfamiliar confines, but CMU shot an even better 53.7 percent and knocked down 11-of-24 threes. The Bobcats also committed 17 turnovers, which led to 27 points for an opportunistic Chippewas squad. Wright finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds, while Staff scored 18 in the loss.
The Spartans could really use their top scorer back in the lineup for this one. Still, even with Kinney on the floor, they could face some issues matching up against the up-tempo Bobcats.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Texas State 79, San Jose State 73

Day of Sun Celebrated by Overseas Koreans
|Pyongyang, April 19 (KCNA) -- Koreans in Uzbekistan held an event at the DPRK embassy in Tashkent on Monday, the 101st birth anniversary of President Kim Il Sung.
The participants laid a floral basket and bouquets before the full-length painting of Kim Il Sung standing together with leader Kim Jong Il.
Ju Yong Il, chairman of the "Old Men" Association for Korean Cultural Tradition in Uzbekistan, said in his speech the Day of the Sun, Kim Il Sung's birth anniversary, is the most significant holiday deeply cherished in the hearts of progressive mankind and overseas Koreans.
The august name of Kim Il Sung will always be remembered by mankind for his feats performed for the country and its people, the era and revolution and his noble virtues, Ju noted.
He expressed belief that the DPRK is sure to win and the future of the Korean nation is rosy thanks to the dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un who is identical to the great Generalissimos Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.
He called upon overseas Koreans to join the compatriots in the homeland in the struggle for national reunification.
The United Confederation of Koreans in Kyrgyzstan held a similar event at the Korean Centre in Bishkek on Monday.
The participants laid a floral basket and bouquets before the portraits of the smiling Generalissimos in the office of the confederation and paid tribute to them.
Pak Kyong Ho, chairman of the confederation, in his speech praised Kim Il Sung as the great man of the century produced by the Korean nation. He went on:
The revolutionary cause of Kim Il Sung is being successfully carried forward by Marshal Kim Jong Un. I am convinced of victory and future thanks to him.
Overseas Koreans will more dynamically struggle for the reunification of the country and the prosperity of the nation.
Photo exhibitions were held at the events.

MIAMI – Three quarters of treasury and finance professionals fear the consequences of the so-called fiscal cliff, according to an onsite survey taken at the 2012 AFP Annual Conference. Respondents believe the economy will worsen without action to address the tax cuts and automatic spending cuts due to kick in at the end of the year. Fully 39 percent of finance executives said that sluggish economic conditions and weak demand also are uncertainties discouraging their companies from making strategic investments in expansion and hiring.Regardless of which candidate wins the U.S. presidential election this November, 63 percent of survey respondents expect the election to have no significant impact on business conditions and 71 percent anticipate no significant change in their investment spending after the elections."Companies are looking beyond the elections," said Jim Kaitz, president and CEO of AFP. "The most important issue is resolving long-term fiscal and deficit issues." Negotiating the fiscal cliff and putting America's finances on a sound footing are the key aims of corporate treasurers.Asked what they saw as the most important areas for Washington, D.C. to focus on after the election in order to support business activity and economic growth, the survey respondents indicated:
Asked if they expected lower corporate bank balances when the unlimited FDIC insurance on non-interest bearing transaction accounts expires at the end of the year, 48 percent saw no significant change while 49 percent expected to lower their balances."This survey reiterates our view that treasury professionals see regulatory change as a significant concern for their business," said Bob Stark, VP of strategy at Kyriba, underwriter of the survey. "It is also very interesting to note, although not entirely surprising, that half of the respondents expect to reduce their cash held in bank accounts at the start of next year. This change will increase the need for improved cash visibility, a trend we have seen throughout the market."The fiscal cliff was also addressed during Tuesday's Certification Luncheon. Keynote speaker Betty Liu, host of Bloomberg Television's In the Loop, emphasized the severity of such a drastic reduction in the deficit, noting that it must be addressed swiftly regardless of who wins in November.
Kevin Roth, AFP's
managing director of research, noted that AFP members, regardless of political affiliations, recognize the importance of finding a solution. "The short-term view is to address the fiscal cliff and the long-term
view is to meaningfully address the deficit," he said Kevin Roth. "Regardless of who wins the election, the
issues are still there the next day. This is a call for real leadership
from both sides of the aisle."
