OECD Sees Global Food Prices Staying High Until 2020 on Growth
May 17 (Bloomberg) -- Global food prices are likely to stay high until 2020 as the population increases and emerging market economies grow, said Jesus Anton, a senior agricultural policy analyst at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
Food prices may stabilize at high levels and keep government import bills near a record, increasing the risk of social unrest in the world's least developed countries, the United Nations' Food & Agriculture Organization said earlier this month. Global food costs are about 40 percent above the average in the past 10 years, according to a UN gauge, which tracks 55 commodities.
Prices will stay high as demand from emerging markets grows and as consumers there eat more meat, Anton said in an interview at a Euromoney conference in London today. The increasing use of scarce resources needed for food production, such as land and water, for non-food purposes will also keep prices elevated, he said.
Global food output must rise 70 percent by 2050 to feed a world population expected to grow to 9 billion from 7 billion, according to the FAO.

The present application is a continuation application of pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/064,269, which was filed on Jun. 27, 2002, which is assigned to the assignee of the present invention. The present application claims priority benefits to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/064,269.
Wireless communications is currently enjoying a period of rapid technological advancement and tremendous growth in popularity. In order to allow wireless communication to become truly convenient and omnipresent, standards have been developed and implemented so that the various wireless-enabled devices may readily communicate with one another. One such standard has been developed by Bluetooth SIG, Inc. (SIG="Special Interest Group"), a consortium of companies interested in seeing the growth in wireless networks continue. The standard developed by this group has become known as Bluetooth and devices conforming to the standard are known as Bluetooth devices or Bluetooth-enabled devices. The Bluetooth standard is based on the IEEE ("Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers") 802.11b standard and applies to a short-range radio system designed to replace cables in a personal area network (in the 10 m range). These devices operate in what is known as the Industrial Science and Medicine ("ISM") communications band around a frequency of 2.45 Ghz. The ISM band actually extends from 2.4 Ghz to 2.480 Ghz and includes 79 communication channels or sub-ranges of frequency, on which devices may communicate.
Many other types of devices operating according to applicable standards also operate on the various channels within the ISM band. For instance, Wireless Local Area Network ("WLAN") devices (also based on the IEEE 802.11b standard) operate in the ISM. Devices operating according to the WLAN standard are designed to replace a wired LAN infrastructure. Other types of devices that operate in the ISM band include microwaves, various types of monitoring devices such as baby monitors, etc.
Very recently, the IEEE Standards Board adopted a new communications standard, IEEE 802.15.1, known as "Wireless MAC and PHY Specifications for Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs™)". This standard closely mirrors the Bluetooth standard. Adoption of such a standard by the widely-recognized IEEE Standards Board means that wireless devices designed to operate in wireless personal area networks are even more likely to model their operation on this standard. Unless otherwise noted, where specific features or requirements of the Bluetooth standard and Bluetooth devices are discussed below, those same features or requirements are present in the IEEE 802.15.1 standard.
As enabling technologies advance and as standards are developed and adopted, wireless networks and the communications and other applications running thereon, are expected to become more and more prevalent. This area of technology is expected to experience explosive growth over the next several years. Even before the recent standard adoption by the IEEE, it was forecast that by the year 2004 there will be over 100 million Bluetooth devices in the United States alone and over 400 million worldwide.
One problem associated with all types of wireless communications is that signals being transmitted by different devices at the same frequency can interfere with one another. This can be referred to as co-channel interference when it occurs between devices operating in the same ISM channel. Interference can also occur between devices operating at frequencies which are not the same but which are close to one another. For devices operating in adjacent ISM channels, this can be referred to as adjacent interference. Both types of interference can cause communication packets to be lost, garbled or misinterpreted by the receiving device, hindering the practical speed and accuracy of the wireless communications.
In an attempt to minimize the incidence of serious interference, the Bluetooth standard calls for Bluetooth devices to "hop" on all 79 channels within the ISM band. That is, the devices transmit only a certain amount of data on a channel before moving to another channel to continue transmitting. The standard establishes the criteria for hopping—how much data to transmit on each channel, when to hop and the order in which to hop to each channel. Devices following the standard understand these criteria and are able to establish and maintain communications with one another while hopping from channel to channel. Because of the advantages of hopping from channel to channel while transmitting, it is likely that other, non-Bluetooth devices will implement this strategy for avoiding interference.
The Bluetooth standard calls for re-transmitting packets when data is lost in transmission, typically due to interference. The procedure for re-transmitting increases transmission time and degrades the data rate. In many of the applications to which Bluetooth devices are applied, such as voice transmissions over IP (internet protocol), even the smallest degradation in the data rate is unacceptable because the quality of the signal quickly degrades to an unusable state.
Unlike Bluetooth devices, WLAN devices, and most other devices operating in the ISM band, select one static channel and transmit data only on that channel. Because they are designed to operate over a greater distance than Bluetooth devices, WLAN devices transmit much more powerful signals. Therefore, Bluetooth device signals can experience serious interference problems when hopping to a channel upon which a WLAN device is transmitting, or to an adjacent channel. As Bluetooth and WLAN devices, and other types of devices operating in the ISM band, become more and more popular, the prevalence of this type of interference will increase. The resulting degradation in performance will seriously hinder customer acceptance of this emerging technology.
For these reasons, and others readily identified by those skilled in the art, it would be desirable to develop communications techniques applicable to the Bluetooth (and IEEE 802.15.1) standard, and to the communication protocols of any other wireless devices which hop from channel to channel while transmitting, which will minimize the effects on performance of any interference due to the transmission signals of other devices in the ISM band.
The present invention contemplates a method whereby a wireless device communicating according to certain communications standards may eliminate or mitigate the effects on the communication rate of interference from other wireless communications signals. The present invention is applicable to wireless devices operating according to any communications standard which requires that the device hop from communications channel to communications channel within a defined communication frequency band. This method does not require changes to the standards definitions nor does it require any modifications to the receiving device. In realizing these and other purposes of the present invention, a communications method calls for a wireless device to scan the channels of the applicable communications frequency band and identify any channel where other device(s) are transmitting and causing interference. When the wireless device hops to one of the channels identified as experiencing interference, the device transmits only null packet (s) on that channel instead of data packet(s). Normal communications transmission is continued when the device hops to a channel which has not been identified as experiencing interference.
Some of the purposes of the invention having been stated, others will appear as the description proceeds, when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, in which:
While the present invention will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which a preferred embodiment(s) of the present invention is shown, it is to be understood at the outset of the description which follows that persons of skill in the appropriate arts may modify the invention here described while still achieving the favorable results of the invention. Accordingly, the description which follows is to be understood as being a broad, teaching disclosure directed to persons of skill in the appropriate arts, and not as limiting upon the present invention.
Devices capable of wireless communications according to the Bluetooth, IEEE 802.15.1 and other standards and the various methods and technologies employed by such devices to transmit and receive data are well known to persons skilled in the relevant arts. Such devices may be implemented in any of the many alternate embodiments that are available without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Detailed descriptions of such devices and technologies are not required for an understanding of the present invention. This invention relates only to an improvement to the method of operation of such devices.
In accordance with this invention, a device capable of wireless communication over one or more channels within a defined frequency band, such as a Bluetooth device, for example, is provided with the capability of scanning the available channels and identifying any channels on which other devices are transmitting.
A Bluetooth device practicing the communications method according to the present invention includes the capability to maintain a record of which channel(s) have been so identified at least as long as the device is powered on and operating. With reference to
As discussed above, a communications device according to the present invention hops from channel to channel while transmitting data. When practicing the method of the present invention, the device checks its record of channels experiencing interference each time it hops. If it is hopping to a channel currently marked as experiencing interference, only null packets, that is, packets containing no data, are transmitted on such channel. If it is hopping to a channel that is not currently marked as experiencing interference, normal data packets are transmitted. In this way, the device avoids the need to re-transmit packets which are lost or garbled due to being transmitted on channels experiencing interference. Since the device knows that only null packets were transmitted on those channels, any packets lost or garbled on those channels can simply be ignored.
Referring now to
In one embodiment of the present invention, a wireless communications device practicing the method of the present invention automatically scans the available communications channels upon power up, marking those channels experiencing interference. This embodiment of the present method is illustrated in
A third embodiment calls for a wireless communications device practicing the method of the present invention to initiate a scan of the channels for interference only when manually triggered to do so by a user. This embodiment of the present method is illustrated in
These embodiments of the present method can also be used in combination. A wireless communications device of the present invention could scan for channels experiencing interference upon power up. Then, if the wireless communications data rate were to fall below a certain rate, the device could initiate a new scan to determine if different or additional channels were experiencing interference. Or, a new scan could be initiated after each passage of a certain amount of time. This would avoid the situation where the device continues sending null packets on a channel marked as experiencing interference long after the marked channel ceased experiencing interference. On top of all that, the device could allow a user to initiate a new scan at any time through some type of user input interface.
As readily recognized by those skilled in the art, the exact order of the method steps illustrated and discussed herein may be varied in any advantageous manner without deviating from the present invention. Also, where appropriate, steps may be repeated, skipped or combined to better operate in a given environment.
In the drawings and specification there has been set forth preferred embodiments of the invention, and, although specific terms are used, the description thus given uses terminology in a generic and descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation.

Clichés of Pandorum Get Sorta Interesting
Despite too many cheap, sound-cue scares and a slow-boil plot that veers between tension and tedium, Pandoruma dead-serious, horror/sci-fi pastiche that borrows, if unimaginatively, from everything from Alien to WALL-Egets sort of interesting. Flight engineers Corporal Bower (Ben Foster) and Colonel Payton (Dennis Quaid) awake from a years-long "hyper-sleep" aboard the Elysium, a massive spacecraft launched from the increasingly uninhabitable planet Earth in 2174. With no memory of their mission, they find themselves in an abandoned wing of the craft, a predicament they discuss at great and scintillating length ("It's cold in here!" Payton declares. "It's fucking dark in here!" Bower retorts). Eventually, Bower ventures out to get the 411, encountering mummified corpses of his fellow crewmembers and then the gooey, writhing mutants marauding through the craft in search of human flesh. A team slowly materializes out of the terrorized survivors Bower meets on his way to try and reset the craft on its course to Tanis, an Earth-like planet. Much slimy mutant-battle ensues. Director Christian Alvart clearly attended horror's new paint-shaker school of direction (motto: shaky = scary!), but the script's twisty, end-of-the-world intrigue saves this otherwise leaden film from total self-destruction.

UMPI hosts Visual Arts Day for local middle schoolers
More than 60 students from local high schools in the region visited the University of Maine at Presque Isle recently for a day filled with learning about everything from drawing and clay to photography and sculpture. The event, Visual Arts Day, was organized by UMPI's Art Education program for Aroostook Regional Gifted and Talented [ARGT] and this was the first time the art program was opened to high schoolers.
Students spent the day Nov. 16 on campus taking part in hands-on art workshops in the Pullen Hall Art Room and the Ceramics Lab. Students also had the opportunity to further experience the campus environment, enjoying lunch in the University's dining hall.
Event organizer Heather Sincavage, UMPI Assistant Professor of Art, said the day included an illustration workshop led by UMPI Art student Karrie Brawn, a ceramics workshop by UMPI Assistant Professor of Art Hyrum Benson, a sculpture workshop with Carleton Project teacher and UMPI alumna Heather Nunez, and a photography collage workshop with UMPI alumna Bryanne Thomas.
During Brawn's workshop, Illustration and Storyboarding, students used drawing methods, mixed media techniques, and found materials to develop a storyboard. This task involved manipulating various materials, helping students understand the elements involved in creating images from given text.
In Benson's clay workshop, An Introduction to Using the Pottery Wheel, students explored making hand thrown pottery through various techniques. Students were encouraged to get muddy and create their own mug or vase to take home and show off.
Nunez's workshop, The Mad Hatter's Tea Party, encouraged students to build hat "sculptures" with chicken wire and various other materials to impress their friends and family. The sculptures, which were created over tea and biscuits, challenged students to think in new and creative ways.
Students also had a chance to take part in a Photography Collage Workshop led by Thomas. In this workshop, students were given a black and white photo and were taught to manipulate it through various techniques resulting in unique creations.
"Visual Arts Day is a growing event we look forward to hosting every year on campus," Sincavage said. "We feel it is a perfect time to create a positive experience that high school students hopefully will remember when applying to colleges. It is a perfect time to feature the leadership and creativity of our students and alumni as they lead students in wonderful workshops. It's truly an exciting day for everyone involved!"

In the Valley of the Shadow: On the Foundations of Religious Belief
Simon and Schuster, 01/11/2011 - 237 páginas
Ten years ago, when Harvard professor James Kugel was diagnosed with an aggressive, likely fatal, form of cancer, "I was, of course, disturbed and worried. But the main change in my state of mind was that . . . the background music had suddenly stopped. . . . the music of daily life that's constantly going, the music of infinite time and possibilities. Now suddenly it was gone, replaced by nothing, just silence. There you are, one little person, sitting in the late-summer sun, with only a few things left to do." Despite his illness, Kugel was intrigued by this new state of mind; it seemed to reveal something basic about the religions that he had been studying for years.
In this wide-ranging exploration of religion throughout the ages, interspersed with personal reflection on the course of his illness, Kugel mines a rich store of sources in an attempt to understand mankind's unending series of encounters with God, from ancient accounts of human meetings with gods and angels, to first-person narratives of religious conversions and the findings of neuroscientists and evolutionary biologists about religious belief. A rigorously honest, sometimes skeptical, but ultimately deeply moving affirmation of religious faith, In the Valley of the Shadow is a powerful meditation on humanity's place in the world and life's greatest mystery.

Featured, Opinion - Written by Renai LeMay on Monday, September 20, 2010 10:57 - 2 Comments
Why Michael Harte is worth $4.2 million
opinion I almost spilled my coffee all over my desk last week when I read the Commonwealth Bank's annual report and discovered that its chief information officer Michael Harte had picked up no less than $4.2 million in remuneration over the 2010 financial year — a $1.4 million pay rise.
My first reaction was to call Harte and ask for an
indefinite $50k loan for a trip to Miami so the Delimiter staff can lie on the beach interview so that I could ask him to justify how any one CIO could be worth $4.3 million in a year — the whole idea seemed preposterous to me.
I mean, sure, the dapper Harte looks good in a suit and generates constant good PR for the bank by threatening to keelhaul vendors and make them walk the plank if they don't sign on to his cloud computing vision. And there is that little matter of the $730 million core banking IT overhaul he's been steering for the past two years, without many glitches that we know of. But he's just one man — even if he is a tough as nails Kiwi who supports the All Blacks.
The pay packet increase is particularly startling if you realise that it constitutes a rise of about $1.4 million — in 2009 Harte picked up the still amazing sum of $2.7 million. The difference in 2010 was mainly due to long-term incentive payments.
To most workers in Australia's IT industry, Harte's astronomical salary must seem remarkable. After all, entry level graduate IT salaries typically start around the $50k to $60k mark, and only gradually go up into the hundreds of thousands after you become a senior manager. The situation in the public sector is even worse — it's not uncommon for a departmental CIO to earn less than $200k.
Of course, you can earn a lot more working for one of the big technology vendors, but Harte doesn't — he's an IT buyer, not an IT seller.
But the truth is that increasingly Australia's private sector will be seeing more examples of highly paid chief information officers like Harte — and there's a good reason why.
When Harte joined the Commonwealth Bank in 2006, his title was chief information officer, and he was in charge, of — well, d'uh — the bank's technology support division. But since that time the high-flying executive's role has changed substantially.
In October 2008 the bank went through a substantial reorganisation that saw a new division created — Enterprise Services — which Harte was appointed to lead, while maintaining his existing CIO title. Quoting from Harte's CBA biography:
The Group formed Enterprise Services in October 2008 to enable an end-to-end service and process focus as well as accelerate the delivery of innovative customer solutions.
What this really means, when it boils down to it, is that Harte is no longer really just a chief information officer or technology executive — or, looking at it the other way around — that the CIO role in large Australian organisations is increasingly changing away from just being focused on IT.
You can see a similar trend in other large local organisations.
At ANZ Bank, for example, although the bank appointed a new CIO (Anne Weatherston) this year, it's clear that ultimate responsibility for the bank's IT systems rests with David Cartwright, the bank's chief operating officer — including, for example, the bank's offshore facility in Bangalore, India. Any major technology project is likely to involve Cartwright's signoff.
It was Cartwright, after all, in his previous role as group managing director of operations, technology and shared services (along with a little help from deputy CIO Kieran Griffiths), that oversaw ANZ's IT strategy in the year it took the bank to replace previous CIO Peter Dalton.
NAB chief information officer Adam Bennett likewise has a higher master — Gavin Slater, the bank's chief executive of Group Business Services, who also lists technology among his responsibilities.
Bob McKinnon is lucky enough to run his own shop as Westpac group executive of Technology. But Qantas' IT function has been for the past several years been led, by group executive of Corporate Services and Technology David Hall, with other executives such as head of technology Segar Reddy taking a low profile.
Hall publicly described himself in August 2009 as a "quasi-chief information officer", and I think this title is an apt one to describe what the top level of IT executives at major Australian organisations often do these days.
Harte, McKinnon and co are paid millions of dollars each year not because they run IT infrastructure and make technology strategy decisions. The truth is the modern CIO role is evolving to become more akin to the head of operations in many organisations — with broad responsibility for ensuring that all aspects of a company's systems meet operational outcomes.
This reflects the fact that the entire day to day business of many corporations consists of technology-related transactions. In 2010, banks are essentially just huge batches of datacentre racks with a few branch offices and call centre staff for support. Their main business doesn't rely on technology. It IS technology.
In this sort of environment, two types of top-level executives will win out. The first will be those — like Harte — who take the step up from their IT roles and increasingly handle operational responsibility for their organisations. This is why Harte is being paid so much — he's no longer just an IT chief.
The second will be those — like Qantas' Hall — who subsume IT into their operational mandate. This sort of executive represents a danger to the traditional CIO, because they have the potential to take away much of the responsibility and power of the CIO role — as Hall did at Qantas.
Canny senior IT managers in 2010 will see this shift coming and prepare for it. It's time to diversify and prepare to take the step up that Harte did at the Commonwealth Bank. The alternative is to be eventually relegated to obscurity due to your lack of foresight and diversified skills.

Pay packets at that level often have no measurable basis upon which to exist…. but wait it gets worse. The head football coach for Texas A&M (one of the US's largest football colleges) has just signed a 5 year deal with the university for $44 million and if he is fired in that time he gets a $20 million sign off package. Now consider that the president of the university will be paid about $1.2million and the average faculty member will get about $600 000 over the equivalent period. Go figure?

Respond to Review of MKZ
by kruidenthee
Review: MKZ is a place where you can eat whatever the kitchen has prepared for you. The place is a legalised squat, of which they are using a part as a kitchen/restaurant/bar something like that, it's not really something to define, you just have to experience it! It's possible to eat there for 5 euros, and then you get three courses, if you eat less then the three courses, it will be even cheaper. Everything they cook is vegan, and so far has been, really tasty! Imagine the food a bit to be as if you where cooking at home, but then you will eat that in a place with a great atmosphere, nice music and nice people (I'm not saying that that isn't possible at your own house;). What you will have for dinner really depends on who is cooking that day, and unlike the other review here, the times I went, the food wasn't that spicey, so I guess it really depends, and of course, how much spices you are used to. Last time I was there we missed out the first course, so we started with te second, which included: some cooked barley with olives and spices with tomato sauce. Then there was some kind of tempeh burger with humous, a salad and some cooked vegetables. The dessert was amazing! It was some kind of cake/pie, made of cocos with cookies and nuts, with a thick chocolate cream layer, delicious! But as I said before, the food really differs every time! One thing you have to be willing to do, is washing your own dishes (I think they changed that now, because the other review is saying something else). I think it helps even more with the aspect of giving you the feeling of being at home.

Biologics for ANCA-Associated Vasculitis
Giuseppe Murgia, Davide Firinu, Paolo E. Manconi and Stefano R. Del Giacco
Department of Medical Sciences "M. Aresu", Unit of Internal Medicine, Allergy and Clinical Immunology, University of Cagliari, Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria, SS 554-Bivio Sestu, I-09042 Monserrato (CA), Italy.
The antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV) are a group of necrotizing vasculitides with a potential fatal outcome. Conventional therapy is based on the use of glucocorticoids (GCs) and cyclophosphamide (CYC), which is associated with severe toxic effects and is unable to control the disease activity in some refractory and relapsing cases. Several authors focused their efforts on the identification of safe and more efficient drugs, primarily investigating biological agents. Rituximab (RTX) demonstrated to be an alternative to CYC as remission-induction therapy for microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) in two clinical controlled randomized trials. Contrasting data emerged regarding anti-TNF-α agents, and their use should be limited to some selected refractory or relapsing cases. Mepolizumab (MPZ) and Omalizumab (OMZ) are potentially beneficial treatments for patients with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA). Hereby, we perform a review focused on the use of biological drugs for AAV treatment.

Going out to eat isn't always about cravings. Often enough, mealtimes dictate our choices, limiting restaurant possibilities. When circumstances narrow the options, let 10Best help. We'll direct you to the best Breakfast/Brunch restaurants in Minneapolis and save you the hassle of calling around for business hours. 10Best readers find much to enjoy at Sunny Side Up Cafe thanks to its all-around good offerings. It's also hard to beat Hell's Kitchen, which serves just what you're looking for when you're in the market for a great Breakfast/Brunch.
9 Al's Breakfast
Al's greasy-spoon decor has been preserved for many years, along with a classic breakfast menu. Located near the university, the place attracts students and alums who are thrilled to return and find Al's just as they remember it. Deemed by some folks as the best breakfast place in the Twin Cities, Al's is known for blueberry and blackberry buttermilk pancakes as well as for omelets and eggs Benedict. They only take cash, and if you're in the door before 1pm, they'll happily serve you. A small place, so don't be surprised by waits. (612-331-9991)
8 Original Pancake House
At this delicious eatery, try baked Dutch Baby pancakes with whipped butter, lemon, and powdered sugar or oven-baked apple pancakes with cinnamon glaze. Another time, go for a gourmet omelet loaded with fillings and served with Swiss-style hash browns. Regulars have learned to show up before 7am, although breakfast is served any time of the day. Complimentary coffee is offered while you wait for a table. (952-920-4444)
7 Nicollet Island Inn Restaurant
Beautiful Nicollet Island Inn's restaurant delivers an elegant affair, thanks to classy decor and a sharply dressed, professional waitstaff. The exclusive Sunday champagne brunch includes homemade breads and pastries and dishes like créme brûlée French toast, caramelized onion and duck confit crêpe, and pressed short ribs. It has garnered a great deal of regional and national attention, and as you might expect, the wine list is among the best in town. Al fresco dining is available. Reservations are necessary. (612-331-1800)
6 French Meadow Bakery & Café
This popular café serves three meals daily. Breakfast choices include the omelet du jour, breakfast burritos, and deep-dish quiches. Among the best options are double fruit-and-nut pancakes and a hashbrown platter, served with cheese and scallions. French Meadow Bakery also offers eclectic lunch and dinner menus that include everything from vegan shepherd's pie to a chicken caesar wrap. (612-870-7855)
5 Lake Elmo Inn
Tell a native that you're planning to dine at Lake Elmo Inn, and you can expect to hear one thing: "Better make sure they've room for you." Indeed, trying to get a table for Sunday brunch is difficult, but it's well worth the effort. The menu usually includes smoked salmon, eggs Benedict, shrimp, vegetable stir-fries, and unforgettable pastries. During warmer months, brunch is served on the patio. (651-777-8495)
4 Hell's Kitchen
Blood-red walls and stuffed vultures might not be the most inviting ambience for a morning meal, but the eats are so tasty at this road-food joint that you might not even notice. Try the house specialty, Mahnomin porridge — a warm blend of Minnesota wild rice, hazelnuts, cranberries, blueberries, cream and maple syrup that originated in American Indian cookery. Other equally appealing choices include ¼-lb. caramel rolls, huevos rancheros made with fresh salsa and rosti potatoes, and maple-glazed bison sausage. Be prepared: prices are commensurate with the quality of ingredients and the large portions. Not to be missed! (612-332-4700)
3 Keys at the Foshay
You'll find enormous portions of down-home breakfast fare served all day at this popular local chain eatery. Pancakes and omelets come dangerously close to falling off the edge of your plate, while eggs and just-greasy-enough roast beef or Italian sausage hash are favorites with regulars. Sweet treats abound for diners who need a little sugar in the a.m., including oversized cinnamon rolls with heavy glaze and a side of creamed butter. The place is known for breakfast, but a satisfying selection of sandwiches and soups is served for lunch and dinner. (612-339-6399)
2 Sunny Side Up Cafe
Accommodating early birds and those who enjoy a good lie-in, Sunny Side Up serves breakfast items from sunrise until mid-afternoon. The usual suspects are all here, very reasonably priced. Omelets, waffles, French toast, hashbrowns, and pancakes are freshly prepared and around $5 or $6. Southwestern spiciness animates a few house specialties, including huevos rancheros and the Cowboy Tort — pork, green chiles, and cheese between two tortillas, served with eggs, sour cream, and refried beans. (612-870-4817)
1 Butter Bakery Café
The long tradition of scrumptious food creation on Grand Avenue continues with the Butter Bakery Café. Whether taking a leisurely stroll down Grand Avenue or heading to work, you'll find Butter Bakery Café to be a quick and convenient stop where you can satisfy your cravings. If you're stopping in for breakfast, try the huevos burrito with scrambled eggs, cheese, potatoes and salsa or the omelet with potatoes. For an early lunch, try the fresh Patsy's BLT or Roast Beef sandwich. This popular Minneapolis breakfast restaurant and bakery also offers free high-speed, wireless Internet access for added convenience. (612-521-7401)

Girls are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree.The boys don't want to reach for the good ones because they're afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good,but easy. So the apples at the top think that there's something wrong with them, when in reality,they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right one to come along,the one who's brave enough to climb all they way to the top ;) And you knew that I was one of the best ones on the top and sure you also do! :D

By ted from USA on 2014-01-15 17:17:45Things I liked:This was curiosity getting the best of me again...wanted to see what this type of stock shot & felt like..never had a synthetic stock before & only have 1.177 cal.,all my air rifles are .22's...the price was right..prexmas deal got me !So anyway,this rifle was a nice surprise for me....I really like the thing a lot,first impression was it's nose heavy but soon found out that wasn't an issue for me! I got this rifle with target shooting in mind & this Surge was more fun that I could have hoped for ! I like the stock, the way it shoots ,feels...this is a fun break barrel rifle! Easy to cock,no maintenance stock & the funny part is this Umarex has the least barrel droop of any of my much higher priced rifles, so little I didn't have to shim rear of scope !Has a ball type lock up & weird trigger set up but it seems to works better than most right out of the box ! This would make a great first rifle for a young or new shooter...if it's set up properly !
Things I would have changed:Really for the money...their isn't much you could expect to change for that kind of money ! The usual scope thing ...I have a whole draw of these junk scopes,I don't even think of installing such poor quality things ! That's my big gripe...sell the rifles with out the bad scopes...am sure a lot of airgunner's will agree with that !
What others should know: Will need bore cleaned...lube every thing including trigger..and blue locktite all screws & check often for tightness..will loosen up even with locktite on screws! I tried many different make & size pellets &finally wound up with Crosman 7.9 shooting as accurate as any & better than most....ya can spend a bundle on all kinds of different brands & weights & many times find out that the lower priced Crosman shoot as good as any...just my opinion !Only problem I had with this rifle was arms were rubbing on inside of stock,making noise ...a little grease took care of problem. One more thing ... join the NRA....$35.....you'll be doing us all a big favor !

By Enrique from USA on 2014-10-13 03:30:00Things I liked:Price, Has a well built feel to it, plenty of power, easy to cock and the trigger is adequate.
Things I would have changed:Better scope, maybe at least a 3x9x32 variable and some open sights.
What others should know:Pretty loud even after 200 rounds, and a bit on the heavy side. You need to make sure all screws are tight especially the breach pivot pin, and the stock screws. Need to apply some Blue Loctite on them to keep from loosening. Mine loosened up after about 25 rounds.

Children trained as terrorists, U.S. says
BAGHDAD — A U.S. military spokesman said Wednesday that Iraqi insurgents are increasingly relying on women and teenagers to undertake suicide attacks, and he released two videos that he said showed how insurgents have drawn children into their circle.
One video showed footage of boys in black masks learning terrorist tactics. The other showed a boy being rescued from his kidnappers, apparently filmed by an Iraqi or American soldier.
Rear Adm. Gregory Smith stopped short of calling the use of women and children in attacks a trend. But he said recent high-profile attacks, including the double bombing Friday of two pet markets in Baghdad, have drawn new attention to the tactic. Friday's coordinated attacks were carried out by 15-year-old girls with Down syndrome, according to Iraqi officials. At least 99 people were killed.
Smith blamed al-Qaida in Iraq, a largely Sunni Muslim group whose affiliation with the al-Qaida of Osama bin Laden is uncertain, for using children in attacks.
He said the group "wants to poison the next-generation Iraqis and hopes to continue the cycle of violence they have brought upon Iraq."
Among recent incidents Smith cited was a Jan. 20 attack when a boy offered a box of candy to the leader of a U.S.-allied militia group before detonating himself and killing the man.
Smith said that in the past year, 10 women have undertaken suicide missions.
The spokesman for Iraq's defense ministry, Mohammed al-Askari, said investigators have confirmed with residents of the area that the two girls who carried out Friday's bombings had Down syndrome.
He declined to identify them, but he said he believed police had contacted their families.

Better Call Saul gave potential audiences a solid new look at the series earlier today, but as it goes for everything in Vince Gilligan and Peter Goulds universe, theres always some bad to go with the good. Now we know two characters who definitely won't be showing up in Season 1.
Better Call Saul is officially set for a 2-night premiere in February. There's a new teaser for AMC's hugely anticipated Breaking Bad spinoff Better Call Saul, and this one leaves us positively tingling with anticipation. Grab a quarter and hit play!
Here at Cinema Blend, we're tipping out hats and raising our straight blades to the 25 most masculine mustaches that have ever graced our television screens. As any man will tell you, it's not just about how big and thick it is -- Wilford Brimley would like to run counterpoint on that -- but it's also a combination of the performer and what they're representing.
Bob Odenkirk has become a big name over at AMC thanks to playing shady lawyer Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad, along with the soon-to-air series Better Call Saul. Despite the fact that Odenkirk has a good grip on the Saul Goodman character, it doesnt come from watching his own work.
oys R Us recently found themselves in a bit of hot water after Florida mom Susan Schrivjer started up a petition to stop the retailer from selling Breaking Bad action figures. They caved and got rid of the toys, and now Aaron Paul is pissed.
However, recently a brand new survey was conducted finding that people nowadays not only expect spoilers, they often revel in them. Television has gotten much better in recent years, so good in fact that shows have become water cooler topics, whether or not everyone is caught up on them.
A bunch of pissed off parents are coming together to stop Toys R Us from selling Breaking Bad action figures in their stores, and though bullet-ridden bodies, this isn't exactly child's play.
Breaking Bad is already available in a slew of Blu-ray, DVD and Digital editions, including the epic complete series barrel set. However, nothing beats the set of brand new, limited edition steelbooks of the series that are hitting the market featuring brand new drawings from Ralph Steadman.
Can Saul Goodman get an Amen? Doesn't look like he's having much luck there. The latest preview for the Breaking Bad spinoff Better Call Saul only gives us ten seconds of Saul Goodman, but it's ten seconds of great Saul goodness.
Never mind that Breaking Bad wrapped up the second half of its final season nearly a year ago. Out of sight definitely didn't mean out of mind for the Academy voters this year, as the acclaimed AMC drama dominated the Emmy Awards, facing off against HBO's Game of Thrones and True Detective, among other series, and coming out on top. That includes closing out the awards show by winning the grand prize of Outstanding Drama series one last time.
This will be Breaking Bad's final year to win an Emmy Award, and to mark the occasion, Emmy nominee Aaron Paul is conducting a Breaking Bad scavenger hunt for those fans in the Hollywood area.
A little more than a week ahead of the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards are handed out, the Creative Arts Emmy Awards have taken place, offering justified praise to outstanding work (mainly) behind the scenes.
The odd thing is, it isnt even Saul Goodman that people are interested in calling here. As revealed a couple of weeks ago by series creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould, the southwestern criminal worlds go-to lawyer is going by the name Jimmy M. McGill when Better Call Saul begins its story.
A guy named Larry Shepherd wants to make a sequel to the award-winning series called Anastasia, with Val Kilmer and guitarist Slash as two cops who catch criminals in the days after Walter Whites stronghold of New Mexicos meth trade. Feel free to take a minute to catch your breath.
Nominations for the 66th Emmy Awards will be announced today! Last year's list of nominees included Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, House of Cards, Girls and The Big Bang Theory, among others. Will those series make their way back onto the Outstanding Comedy and Drama list this time around?
