Is a divorce proof marriage a reality?
When in a committed relationship, having the rise in divorce rate shoved down your throat isn't something you want to hear. The worst thing is coming across headlines like "Heidi Klum and Seal divorce". This is the couple I have always wanted to be like; especially the bit where they renewed their vows every year. And just when you have pictured how you will be doing all this once you get married … BAM! You get whacked with their divorce news and how its been a long time coming. Really?
'Nuff about those two. The thing is, when about to make that huge "I DO" step, most people would love to have some assurance that its gonna be their first (even second or third - if you are there already) and the last time they will say "I DO". But knowing that even the Seals and Heidi Klums of this world have failed at it, are there things you can do while in your committed relationship NOW that might rearrange the cards for you and secure your relationship from finding itself on the divorce road?
Relationship expert Janie Lacy has a few tips on how this can be done. And her emphasis is to have a vision for the life ahead of you … plan it like you would plan a vacation. Take a look at the video.
Based on what she says, do you believe divorce proof marriages can be a reality for America?

DEFINITELY!!! A divorce-proof marriage is and can be a reality, however, the following however are not a reality in MOST divorce-proof marriages...in ANY marriage for that matter. An easy marriage; drama-free marriage; constantly exciting marriage; hot-sex-on-demand all the time marriage; 'He/She NEVER looks at another hot/hard body at church/mall/work' marriage; A "he-never-has-a bout with ED marriage' & she never-has-a-headache/cramps marriage. 'There are no "comin'-at-the-same time- every- time, so-good-we-scream our own names every night" marriages, either. AND there are no marriages devoid of Flannel gowns/holey sweats/Granny Panties/Emergency draw's/ Favorite Frat-Brother Boxers/Lucky Draw's!!! There are also no "I-will-choose-the-sins/mistakes-you-can/can't-commit-against-me/us---I WILL BE JUDGE, JURY & EXECUTIONER! marriages (at least none which work.) . It's marriage. There are also NO... "Always 50-50 marriages; he/she-never-settles-for-less-than marriages; no smooth sailing all the time marriages; no Never-went-to-bed-hurt/angry/sad/lonely marriages; no-fireworks-every-kiss-marriage; no "never-question-why-I'm-in-this-thing/ can-I-do-better? marriages"; no "He-&-I-against-the-world" marriages and "no-I-meet-every-need-he/she-has marriages." There are no "there's always enough money" marriages; or "your body will be high/tight/firm/perky & hot always" marriages. BUT there are times each will "wish I could take the hurt away/take my words back/turn back time and get a do over." There will also be more than a FEW nights on a couch and in the dog-house. It's marriage. There are no:" I'll NEVER HURT YOU, BABY marriages; and no-100%-honesty-openness-even-on-the little things" (because sometimes you just gotta lie that the dry chicken & lumpy potatoes are good and the new cologne smells good--even though it smells like pickled yak-ass). There are no "I'll NEVER wanna walk/run away/throw my hands in the air" marriages. There are NO "that never makes your butt look big/flat/droopy"marriages........But there ARE times that I wanna "Throw mamma from the train"...and wish you'd shut the hellup during my game/show/favorite song/quiet time!!. And there are no 'you're so perfect,I'm so perfect, so we must be perfect all the time (I mean...WHOSE perfection would we be doing anyway?) I'm not a Debbie-Downer!! I was in a LONG term marriage and in my family, SECOND marriages often reach over 30yrs before death. Dad & Granddad both surpassed 50 yrs before spousal death. It was about the level of commitment of both parties. Those who WANT a divorce-proof marriage made INDIVIDUAL commitments that "divorce is not an option". They then chose partners who had made the same INDIVIDUAL commitment. This is one of the first "common goals/values" etc. I'm just saying that love isn't something we 'FALL' into, but an action to which we deliberately commit. It's a gift we discipline ourselves to give another unfailingly, every hour of everyday...even when it would be easier to give it to another or even when we no longer see the fireworks or feel the tingles or it's no longer fun, firm, or fantastic! Love isn't blind, but it is blinding. It sees the good--YES-- but love illuminates the "bad & the ugly, too", and requires that we see those through the grace which has been given to us. To have a "divorce-proof" marriage, one must Commit to forgiving the unforgivable--repeatedly. Commit to forgetting the unforgettable and commit to Loving the unlovalble when it's hardest to do so. Grungy, grimy, painful work...Not fun,sweet & romantic at all. Well, Commitment isn't always convenient..... In fact, COMMITMENT isn't about convenience at all. Think on these things... ~SugahRushReply to this comment

I would say marriage is not a reality. My parents have been married for over 40 years. Watching them makes me love it.. Never ever seen them argue or disrespect each other. The 1st, thing my mom told me is they took time to get to know each other before they rushed to the altar which is one thing pple don't do. They get caught up in there emotions without thinking. 2nd, communicate a lot. Discuss finances- discuss spending issues, savings, sex- be open sexually don't be shy to tell ur partner what u enjoy, talk about issues that are on ur mind....etc If u see tht ur partner did something u dnt agree with, discuss- talk it out in a civil way. Watch the words you use all the time. Do not go to bed angry or upset at each other. 3rd , work as a team. It helps build a strong bond btwn the two of u. Do things together around the house, plan things together like vacations, family trips, parties. Etc. 4th, choose your friends wisely. The people around you or hengout with will affect a lot of things e.g way of life. 5th always create tym for the both of you. Keep the spark goin.Reply to this comment

You're 100% right about wisely chosen the people you hang out with because sometimes they're the biggest sources of drama and I'll have to include in-laws because sometime they should be out-laws (meaning keep them out out your zone). LOLReply to this comment

I had an older guy at work thats been maried for over 37 years tell me, "Man the secrete to a long and lasting marriage is, "don't break up with your gilrfriend once you get married!" I ask, "what kind of game is you running are you trying to get me cut?" He said, "no stupid, KEEP your wife as your girlfriend once you get married by continuing to do the things you did when you were dating!" He told me son, "me and my wife still go out to the movies, we're aways flirting with eachother, we go to carnivals, and we screw more than college students!" Your marriage is like your bank acount you, can only get out of it what you put into and he said despite having four children they made time for their marriage. Who says a man should lose his wife because she becomes a mother and vice verse? He told me how him and his wife took up ballroom dancing about three years ago and now the passion burns hotter than it did 20 years ago. Must important he told me, "son whatever you do, don't stop chasing her because when you start to act like you've caught her and the chase is over, you'll start to lose her so never stop looking for ways to enjoy eachother's company!" I personally don't believe in a divorce proof marriage but I do believe you can do things that can reduce the chances of your marriage failing, it all depends on how much you're willing to put into your marriage. I guess "Old Leotis" knows what he's talking about he's been married almost 40 years.Reply to this comment

"My online love inspiration angel"
Submitted by: Patricia, USA, 21
To be honest, in the beginning, I thought it would be a waste of time. But since I've never seen a similar service in any other dating site, I decided to give it a try.
I always "thought" my profile was on point and I did not need any help to correct my page. I always had in my profile if someone is not attracted to my profile, then that's "their" loss.
I will never forget my first time using the Coaching Service I was introduced to my personal Dating Coach. Let me put it this way, if it was not for her I would have given up long time ago (even though I'm a new member).
She taught me so many things and gave me good advice, I did not want to stop chatting with her at all.
She opened my eyes to many possibilities when finding love. She is definitely an inspiration and I appreciate a whole lot. She is more than a Dating Coach to me; she is more of a close friend/guide to me. She is definitely my "online love-inspiration angel".

After the break, two Will Maisey penalties brought Nottingham

Full match report by Andi Starr
A second successive heavy defeat saw the Green and Whites slip
down the Championship table as Worcester Warriors ran in nine tries
for a 55-16 win.
It was certainly an improvement on the poor showing against
Jersey a week earlier, and they did well to stay in touch for
almost an hour, particularly in an entertaining first half. But in
the end they were no match for a Worcester side determined to
regain their Premiership status.
It was Nottingham who took the lead when Ed Styles chased a
grubber kick from Will Maisey, who converted for a 7-nil lead but
then missed a straightforward penalty chance.
A lengthy injury stoppage eventually saw Warriors' Mike Williams
stretchered off, and it took the home side a while to get back into
their stride.
Winger Tom Biggs eased their nerves when he intercepted a pass
in his own 22 and raced the length of the pitch to get his side's
first points.
A Maisey penalty made it 5-10 before centre Max Stelling brushed
aside a couple of defenders and touched down in the corner to level
the scores four minutes later.
In an end-to-end first half Nottingham had done well to hold the
home side out until the closing minutes. But more suspect defending
allowed full back Ben Howard to take play into their 22 before
sending scrum half Jonny Arr in for a clear run to the posts to
take the lead, Eden making it 17-10 with the conversion.
A second from Biggs on the stroke of half time, also converted
by Eden, gave Warriors a 12 point lead, although there was just
time for Maisey to add a second penalty to make it 22-13 at the
The Nottingham did well under heavy pressure in the opening
minutes of the second half as the home side drove strongly from a
close range lineout, and when they finally cleared their lines they
managed to force another penalty for Maisey to make it 22-16.
But following a yellow card for Toby Freeman the Worcester pack,
rejuvenated following a string of replacements, took control and
prop Rapava Ruskin drove over on the hour to end any hopes
Nottingham may have had of gaining a surprise bonus point.
A penalty try soon followed after an illegal challenge on Biggs
and suddenly the Green and Whites found themselves 20 points adrift
and struggling to hold on.
A couple of spells with uncontested scrums, following injuries
to Nottingham's front row, didn't stem the tide and after tries
from Sam Smith and a second from Stelling it was Biggs who got the
ninth and final try in the last minute to complete his hat trick,
Mieres converting to give Worcester a 55-15 win.

I was using a bleaching agent to lighten dark spots on my face due to years of acne. I had dark spots scattered all over my face, so I applied the whitening cream all over. I knew the risk before hand, and honestly I doubted it would work, due to failed products in the past. Surprisingly it did work, just not the way I wanted it to. The cream left a couple small white spots under my lip. Luckily It didn't go on a rampage all over my face, blotching up everything, but the two small spots are annoying.

Hermann, Levco open fire in race for Vanderburgh County prosecutor
Candidates hit at other's record
The sparring has begun in the race for Vanderburgh County prosecutor as Republican candidate Nick Hermann unleashed the first of what he said will be a weekly barrage of criticisms of the Democratic incumbent, Stan Levco.
<IF YOU GO>Vanderburgh County prosecutor candidates Nick Hermann, Republican, and incumbent Stan Levco, Democrat, will meet for a public debate at 6 p.m. Sept. 28 in Central Library's Browning Rooms A and B. The event will be hosted by Women Right of Center.
For more information about the debate, contact Melissa Mauser at email@example.com or (812) 480-2675.</IF YOU GO>
Levco fired back with criticisms of his own against Hermann.
Hermann distributed by e-mail and posted on his campaign Web site, under the heading of "Crime in Vanderburgh County," 10 examples of cases he says Levco's office mishandled by allowing offenders to plead guilty to less serious offenses than the original charges.
Levco countered by saying his office has prosecuted thousands of cases during his four terms on the job and that Hermann has less courtroom experience to examine.
Hermann conceded that he has tried only one felony criminal case in that time — a rape trial in which he was the defense attorney — but said he has been in court many times for misdemeanor and family court work.
Levco said not only did Hermann lose that case but that the Indiana Court of Appeals overturned the conviction because the defendant had ineffective counsel.
"The Court of Appeals in that case unanimously reversed the conviction on the grounds that he was ineffective, as a matter of law," Levco said. "If you were to Google the words ineffective, rape, counsel, Vanderburgh County, his case is the first one that pops up."
In that case, the defendant Absalom Julius was convicted of two counts of rape and two counts of criminal deviate conduct involving his former girlfriend.
Hermann declined Tuesday to discuss details of the case but said Julius was innocent and that the appeals court ruling was not that uncommon and that similar rulings had been made on cases handled by attorneys working for the Vanderburgh County Prosecutor's Office.
The plea agreement cases cited by Hermann cover people facing original charges such as burglary, theft, child molesting and drug dealing, as well as repeat offenders.
Hermann calls the examples "missteps" and "abuses" on his Web site.
"Every single one of these plea negotiations a judge considered and determined it was an appropriate sentence," Levco said. "He can look at 50,000 cases I've tried, and I can only look at one of his."
The first example cited by Hermann was of a man charged with burglary with injury, attempted robbery and battery. The burglary and robbery charges were a class A and class B felony.
But under Levco, the prosecutor's office offered the man a deal to plead guilty to a class D felony charge of residential entry, with Levco personally recommending the man receive a suspended sentence, according to Hermann.
Hermann did not use names in his campaign examples, but Levco on Tuesday identified the man Hermann referred to in the burglary case as Richard Barnes Jr. and said Barnes' co-defendant was Derrick Fingers.
Fingers was charged with arson and being a habitual offender and sentenced to 40 years in prison on Aug. 30, 2004 — charges stemming from a fire he was charged with igniting in the Vanderburgh County Jail, which at the time was located in the Civic Center.
Levco said Barnes' testimony helped convict Fingers.
"Richard Barnes (Jr.) was one of the few people in the jail to cooperate," Levco said. "He didn't ask for a deal from me. He said he was doing it because of his conscience."
Hermann said Tuesday that whether Levco was personally involved with particular plea agreements or not, that they were made under his leadership in the office.
Hermann said he doesn't take issue with making plea agreements but that the agreements he cited went too far in his opinion — an opinion he said he frequently hears from frustrated police officers.
"They are horrible (crimes) yet they plead them down to nothing," he said.

Sanofi and its Genzyme subsidiary reported positive new data from the pivotal Phase III Temso trial evaluating oral teriflunomide therapy in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). The results showed that once-daily oral teriflunomide therapy significantly reduced annualized rates of relapse leading to hospitalization, and confirmed the safety profile and efficacy of the drug over a six-year period.
Sanofi in addition confirmed that FDA accepted for review the teriflunomide NDA application, and projects filing for regulatory approval in Europe during the first quarter of 2012.
More specifically, the new Phase III study data showed that the annualized rate of relapse leading to hospitalization was reduced 36% among patients receiving the 7 mg dose of teriflunomide, and 59% among 14 mg-treated patients, compared with those on placebo. The low- and high-dose levels of teriflunomide therapy in addition reduced the annualized rate of emergency medical facility visits by 31%, and 42%, respectively.
Teriflunomide is an immunomodulatory disease-modifying oral drug in development for treating relapsing forms of MS. In addition to the Temso study, two Phase III trials, Tower and Tenere, are ongoing. Another Phase III study called Topic is separately under way to evaluate teriflunomide therapy in patients with early MS or clinical isolated syndrome, and the Phase III Teracles study is investigating the drug as an adjunct to interferon-beta therapy.

Considering the numbers game the Reds have for the fifth spot in the starting rotation and in the bullpen, I think this is more of a creation of the Boston media. But with Wayne K., you never know.
Scouts from several teams have been monitoring the right-hander, whose role was shifted to middle or set-up innings following Jonathan Papelbon [stats]s recent return to closer. The Cincinnati Reds, who are leaning toward selecting Dustin Hermanson as closer from a pool of journeyman relievers, may be the best fit. Signed for only one year at $4 million (plus the possibility of an additional $2 million in incentives based on games finished), Pineiro most likely would fit into Cincinnatis tight budget.
The right-hander was scheduled to pitch an inning in yesterdays 12-6 win over the Florida Marlins at City of Palms Park, but was forced to throw instead on a back field after the game because of the length of starterJosh Beckett [stats]s outing (seven innings). Brendan Donnelly (one inning, no runs) and J.C. Romero (one inning, five runs) were the only Sox relievers to see action.
Pineiro struggled with his consistency earlier this spring as he got comfortable with a new, more compact delivery, but he has pitched well lately and has tossed 8 scoreless innings over his last seven Grapefruit League appearances. Hermanson, meanwhile, signed with the Reds midway through camp but appears to have overtaken David Weathers and Mike Stanton in the Reds battle for closer. The 34-year-old has missed significant time in three of the past five years because of injuries and was limited to only six relief appearances last season for the Chicago White Sox.

Baby Corn Production Guide
|By Pinoy Farmer | August 7, 2009
Young cob corn, the newly developed corn, has been used by Chinese as vegetable for generations and this practice has spread to other Asian countries. It is used as ingredient in most food preparations. It has nutritive value similar to that of non-legume vegetable such as cauliflower, tomato, cucumber and cabbage. This vegetable has a great potential for cooking purposes and for processing as a canned product. Canned cob corn export to Thailand, Japan and Europe is increasing and has a good future.
Generally, corns farmers strive their competitive position by improving yields and cutting costs of production, for instance, through shortening cultural risks by harvesting for either green corn or baby corn. Young cob corn has a short growth thus a farmer can grow four or more crops a year. It has a wide range of adaptation and does not need intensive cultivation. Pollination is also not a problem because young cob corn is harvested before kernels are developed. Considering these factors, young cob corn has good potentials.
Sweet corn varieties are commonly used for the production of baby corn. In some areas of the country, Pioneer 305 and SMC (hybrid) varieties are being commercially grown for young corn. Golden Cross Bantam and Supersweet were also found to possess the best attribute of young cob corn.
Soil and Climatic Requirements
The best soil for corn is a well-drained with a texture of silt loam or loam type. It should be a type of a soil with a high moisture holding capacity, high amount of organic matter and be slightly acidic (pH 5.3 to 7.3). A rainfall of 200 to 1,500 mm is required in its growing period. However, the optimum requirement of corn is 400 to 600 mm per growing period. In time of moisture deficiency, irrigation is essential.
Land Preparations
A seedbed which is deep, well pulverized yet fairly compact is excellent for corn.
A clayey and weedy field requires more plowing. In a field where trash is plowed under, a second or third operation may be needed to obtain a clean seedbed.
Plowing is done when the field is at the right moisture, when the soil particles 13 cm. below the ground separate, only a thin portion sticks to the finger but no ball is formed.
For animal-drawn plow, a depth of 4 to 7 cm is sufficient. When tractor is used, 12 to 14 cm is preferable.
Harrowing is done at the time the soil has the right moisture content. It is done again within two days before planting to level the soil.
Planting Method
1.Surface or Flat-bed Planting
Seeds are drilled or hill-planted on a level to slightly rolling topography at a desired depth and row spacing. It is suited for areas with abundant precipitation and heavy soil types.
2.Listed Planting
Seeds are placed at the bottom of the V-shaped furrow. A lister, which is double moldboard blade, is used for opening furrow of this kind. It is practiced in areas where rainfall is a limiting factor, where soil drainage is good and the soil is friable.
3.Ridged Planting
The seeds are placed to a specific depth on top of the ridge. The conditions described in listed planting are also appropriate for this type.
If the soil contains considerable moisture at planting time, the seed should be planted from 2 to 5 cm. deep. On the dry, soil the seeds should be planted 5 to 8 cm. deep.
Rate of Seeding
The amount of seeds needed in a hectare to have a population density of 80,000 to 100,000 plants/hectare is 27 to 30 kg of hybrid seeds. The rows are spaced 100 cm with a hill spacing of 25 cm with 3 plants/hill or drilled 25 cm between hills. No thinning on corn seedlings will be done.
The field should be irrigated moderately even at the time of seed germination and during the early growth and development of corn plants. Weekly irrigation must be done especially during summer.
The recommended rate of fertilizer per hectare is 3 bags 14-14-14 and 1 bag Urea. One half of N and all of P and K is applied in the furrow and then cover 2 to 3 cm layer of soil before planting. Fertilization may also vary as recommended by the Bureau of Soils as a result of a soil analysis.
Weeds are the unwanted plant companion of crops. Besides serving as hosts to plants pests and diseases, weeds can reduce corn yield by as much as 50 to 80 % if left uncontrolled.
Weeds are commonly controlled by hand weeding, hoeing within the row and cultivation in between the rows.
Detasseling is achieved by removing all the tassels of corn plants. This is done as soon as the tassels emerge
Crop Protection
Baby corn requires practically no application of pesticides because the crop has short growth duration thereby eliminating the residue factor and minimizing in production cost.
Timelines is the most important consideration in harvesting baby corn. Ideally, young corn is harvested 2 to 3 days after silking or 50 to 55 days after emergence. Harvesting duration may lasts for 15 to 18 days, which is carried on by, hand picking.
Cobs for market must have a good quality. Young cob corn of excellent quality is straight, has uniform ovary alignment, is 4 to 11 cm. long, 0.8 to 1.8 cm. in diameter, slightly yellow to yellow color, sweet and not fibrous. Cobs must be free from bites of corn borer, must be clean and not broken.

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY -- Every week, Tony Zenon returns home from one his many football practices at Deerfield-Windsor and sits down to start his homework or study the gameplan.
It is almost always interrupted by a telephone call.
On the other end is a college football coach. It could be an assistant from one of the schools that have already offered the 5-foot-8 senior running back a scholarship: Georgia Southern, UAB or Central Michigan.
Other times, it's somebody new, checking up on a player that, at one time could have been considered a secret in recruiting circles.
But no more.
The word is out.
The highlight video of his journey to a school-record 5,360 career rushing yards and 4.38 40-yard dash time is beginning to make the rounds now.
"Central, I hadn't talked to them at all," Zenon said. "One week I talked to them, next week they offered me. I was like, 'Wow.' "
An official visit to the Chippewas' campus is scheduled for December, but no sooner. In between talking to coaches, considering his college future and keeping his great academic standing in order, Zenon is trying to lead the Knights to a second consecutive GISA Class AAA state title.
That quest continues tonight when the Knights host Pinecreast in the Final Four.
Zenon, meanwhile, has battled the temptation of worrying about his college future throughout this season, yet still came away with 1,940 yards and 23 touchdowns on the ground.
"I think he has handled it fine," DWS coach Allen Lowe said. "I think it hasn't been a real distraction. He is just enjoying playing the game of football. Hopefully we are going to have two more weeks for him to build on."
As good as the moves Zenon put on the original highlight reel were, the development of his game during the past 11 weeks created a sequel that accomplishes the rare goal of topping the original.
Last week, in a second-round win against FPD, Zenon took a pitch to the left side and, facing a wall of blockers and defenders, dipped in toward the line just beyond the hash mark to draw in the linebackers. As quick as he dipped in, he popped out around the edge where nobody was home for a 48-yard touchdown run.
It was the type of move that showed off the maturation of this former Hurricane Katrina victim, who relocated to Albany after the storm, in his fourth year as a starter. It was the type of move that keeps the phone ringing during study sessions.
"You get one like that very seldom," Lowe said. "It's been a pleasure to coach him for all these years. He's grown into a fine young man. I have no doubt he is going to succeed on the next level because he has the character to do it. He also has the God-given athletic ability and he has the work ethic."
Zenon doesn't know where he'll sign, but expects other schools to jump in the sweepstakes once the season is over.
It seems about the only event that could derail Zenon's path to Division I success at this point is an injury. Zenon places that concern in the same pile with stacks of discarded recruitment letters.
"Everything happens for a reason," Zenon says with a maturity twice his age. "I think God has a plan for me. If it is meant for me to be hurt, then fine. Football's not my main focus. It is one of my main things, but anything can happen to me. That's why I am going (to college) for engineering and architecture."
As has been the case during every step of the Knights' 10-game win streak, tonight the possibility of injury and essentials of his recruitment fade into the background of the gameplan for Pinecrest.
Zenon may have a bright future, but it won't overshadow his passion for the present.
"We just got to win (tonight); once we win we'll worry about next week," Zenon said. "We win, we get the ring. That's all that matters. I'll worry about everything else when the year is over."

Since the advent of the light bulb, we've been able to brighten our world with the flick of a switch. And what a breakthrough that has been: Artificial light has given us more time to read and learn, work and play. But the ability to keep lights burning 24/7 has also come with a dark side.
Our body's natural rhythms are connected to and affected by the natural cycles of light and dark. For millennia, humans stayed awake when the sun was up (to hunt for food and protect themselves from enemies), and slept when it set. So, today, while artificially extending our exposure to "daylight" means we can accomplish more, it also puts us out of sync with natural cycles of light and dark — the very cycles the human body got used to during centuries without manmade sources of illumination.
"Our bodies evolved to expect 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark," says University of Connecticut epidemiologist Richard Stevens, PhD. "Since the advent of electricity, we haven't been exposed to enough darkness." Meanwhile, by spending most of our waking hours indoors and away from natural sunlight, we're also often underexposed to the wavelengths of light that stimulate our natural rhythms.
That might not seem like such a big deal, but research has shown otherwise. A study published in the December 2005 issue of Cancer Research showed that open-eye exposure to artificial light at night stimulated the growth of breast tumors. Stevens and colleagues first observed the relationship between breast cancer and aperiodic (irregular) exposure to natural cycles of light and dark in 2001, when a study he conducted found that the incidence of breast cancer in night-shift nurses was 30 percent higher than in the general population. "Artificial light erodes the night," he says, and that has long-term health consequences.
Stevens and Itai Kloog, an environmental epidemiologist at the University of Haifa in Israel, also found a correlation between excessive environmental-light exposure and prostate cancer in men. Their study, published in the January 2009 issue of Chronobiology International, looked at nighttime global-satellite images of 164 countries and noted that the incidence of prostate cancer was nearly double the average rate in areas exposed to the most light at night (LAN).
Evidence linking LAN with certain cancers is now considered so conclusive that the World Health Organization has classified night-shift work as a probable carcinogen.
Studies also show that exposure to aperiodic light and disrupted natural rhythms can affect our sleep patterns, mood, weight and susceptibility to other "lifestyle" illnesses. And the damage can happen early. Researchers at Vanderbilt University, in Nashville, Tenn., have found that excessive exposure to bright light early in life — such as in neonatal intensive care units — may contribute to depression and other mood disorders in adults.
By better understanding our bodies' natural rhythms and their relationship to natural cycles of light and dark, we can make more health-promoting and health-sustaining decisions. We can use what we know about our natural, biological rhythms to improve our sleep, bolster our mood, regulate our metabolism and reduce our risk for chronic diseases.

Merck V. Integra: § 271(e)(1) and the Common Law Research Exemption
Borchardt, James, Journal of Corporation Law
Protection from patent infringement liability for certain research-related activities has been a component of U.S. patent law from the early days of the patent system. These exemptions from infringement liability represent a limitation on patent exclusivity as well as an important mechanism for ensuring that patent exclusivity does not unduly hinder technological advancement. For these reasons, when the Supreme Court speaks regarding the scope of a research exemption, a close look at the scope of the exemption is warranted. In Merck v. Integra,1 the Supreme Court issued an opinion explicitly interpreting a statutory research exemption. However, this opinion also provides guidance for how courts in the future should view the interaction between this statutory research exemption and the common law research exemption.
Part II of this Note provides background about the development of the common law research exemption, the statutory research exemption of 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(1) (2000), the various policy considerations relevant to analyzing the scope of research exemptions, and the facts of Merck v. Integra. Part III analyzes the major arguments raised before the Supreme Court by the petitioner and the respondent in Merck v. Integra-a case involving Merck's research using an invention owned by Integra. Part IV provides analysis of the Supreme Court's opinion in Merck v. Integra and determines the standard for applying § 271(e)(1) in the future. Part V provides an evaluation of the relationship between the common law research exemption and the statutory research exemption of § 271(e)(1). This analysis leads to the conclusion that the statutory research exemption begins to provide immunity from patent infringement liability immediately after the common law research exemption's immunity ends.
First, this Part provides a brief synopsis of the development of the common law research exemption to patent infringement from its early common law roots to the modern Federal Circuit formulation. Second, this Part provides a look at the legislative intent and judicial interpretations of the statutory research exemption of 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(1). Third, the various policy aspects of research exemptions are considered. Finally, this Part concludes with the factual and procedural setting of Merck v. Integra.
A. Common Law Research Exemption
The common law research exemption from patent infringement is widely recognized to trace its origins to two decisions from the early nineteenth century written by Justice Story.2 These two cases, Whittenmore v. Cutter3 and Sawin v. Guild,4 stated that the use of a patented invention does not constitute patent infringement if the use is for the "mere purpose of philosophical experiment"5 or to test the truth of the patent's specification.6 This common law research exemption allowed for certain uses of patented inventions without the consent of the patentee as long as the use did not "divert to the accused infringer a portion of the profits" that rightfully belonged to the patentee.7 In a more recent case, the Court of Claims8 held that the United States could not utilize the common law research exemption when its use, testing to determine the capabilities of military helicopters built with patented technology, fell within the "legitimate business" of the United States military.9 Thus, a use could not be experimental if the use was intended to further the user's legitimate business. These cases are representative of the understanding of the common law research exemption prior to the creation of the Federal Circuit in 1982.10
In a series of several cases since its creation, the Federal Circuit significantly reduced the scope of the common law research exemption.11 The Federal Circuit's final major ruling on the common law research exemption was Madey v. Duke University.12 The plaintiff, Dr. Madey, was a former employee of Duke University. …

Sultry, soulful Memphis is an interesting and vivid place, located along the Mississippi River at the Arkansas border. The largest city in Tennessee, Memphis has a history of dramatic highs and lows: antebellum cotton-trading prosperity, Civil War destruction and reconstruction, yellow-fever epidemics, resurgence as a lumber and (again) cotton-trading center, and post–World War II decline. Today the city is on an upswing, thanks to recognition of its unique cultural assets and urban renewal.
As the hometown of the blues and Elvis Presley (who was actually born in Tupelo, Mississippi), the city left its mark on the history of music. A general resurgence in the popularity of blues has brought new life to Memphis as a tourist attraction. The historic Beale Street neighborhood provides music and entertainment opportunities for residents and tourists. The city is a patchwork of redevelopment, preservation and decay, but downtown is generally becoming a more habitable place. The area spreads in all directions including across the Mississippi into the gritty West Memphis, Arkansas and south into Mississippi. Bartlett to the north is a more upscale suburb, while Germantown and Collierville to the southeast are undergoing the strongest growth and are also more upscale. The NBA Memphis Grizzlies add a spark to the area and there are several minor-league and collegiate sports attractions.
The economic base is diverse and its status as a good business base is on the rise—the city is headquarters for retailer AutoZone and FedEx Corporation, and International Paper is relocating its headquarters from Connecticut. It is also known as a good base for smaller and especially minority owned businesses. FedEx operates mainly at the Memphis Airport, which is the largest air cargo hub in the world, south of town, but the company also has a large research facility in Collierville.
Healthcare resources are strong, in particular the well-known St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. There are a few specialized small colleges, but Memphis is generally not a higher education destination. Status as hub for FedEx and Northwest Airlines says something of its central geographic location. Cost of living is low for a large city; the biggest downsides are a high crime rate and oppressive summers.
The city lies along the Mississippi River with a level landscape to the west in Arkansas and a level to slightly rolling landscape into Tennessee and northern Mississippi. The climate is a blend of continental and subtropical. Although not directly located on the Gulf and western Canada storm paths, it is still affected by both. Weather changes are frequent. Summers have periods of warm, steamy weather with thundershowers. Winters are cool with a few periods of freezing temperatures. At 50 inches per year, Memphis is comparatively wet with precipitation spread evenly throughout the year. Extreme temperatures are rare.
As of 2014, Collierville's population is 44,613 people. Since 2000, it has had a population growth of 34.96 percent.
The median home cost in Collierville is $255,700. Home appreciation the last year has been 0.50 percent.
Compared to the rest of the country, Collierville's cost of living is 9.20% Higher than the U.S. average.
Collierville public schools spend $10,240 per student. The average school expenditure in the U.S. is $12,435. There are about 17.7 students per teacher in Collierville.
The unemployment rate in Collierville is 5.00 percent(U.S. avg. is 6.30%). Recent job growth is Negative. Collierville jobs have Decreased by 1.02 percent.

In my most recent columns, I discussed the importance of using only "organic" dairy products. What about meat? Why buy "organic" meat?
The controversy about meat is ongoing. Should it be part of one's diet? Can we deny the fact that many cultures have subsisted on meat as the prime source of protein for many centuries?
So with the ethical aspects aside, just how good is meat as human food? What does it provide in our diets?
Nutritionally, as I mentioned in our last article, meat ranks in the top three categories with eggs and milk as the best sources of complete protein (containing all eight of the essential amino acids).
Meat also has a very high NPU (net protein utilization) factor, which means that a good amount of what is eaten is actually used by the body. Therefore, if there are no ethical concerns, if it is "good meat", and if it is consumed in moderation, it can be an important part of your diet.
As with other food, when we talk about meat, we should understand that the main problems associated with meat are in its production and storage. It is essential to learn how our meat is raised, how it has been processed, exactly what has been added to it, and also how it has been cooked.
Knowing all these facts, our family still includes limited meat in our diet, but we're very particular about the meat that we buy.
Hormones in meat
In the Jan. 10 issue of the U-B, a story in business section concerned the lawsuits still pending from the use of the hormone DES more than five decades ago. Now, let me tell you the complete story.
More than 50 years ago the pharmaceutical industry succeeded in creating a synthetic copy of an important female hormone. This hormone, called "stilbesterol," was synthesized in the laboratory, but the final product was not the exact duplication of the original. The resultant synthetic hormone was called "diethylstilbestrol." (DES) Although it seemed to duplicate most of the needs of stilbesterol in the body, its side-effects were monumental.
One of the two arenas where diethylstilbestrol was problematic was in human pregnancy. In the complex cycle of pregnancy, there is a prime hormonal change at the end of the first trimester.
At that time the natural hormone stilbesterol should start to be released. If it is not perfectly coordinated with the diminishing of other hormones, the mother will start to abort.
The first sign will be that she will start bleeding vaginally. It was found that if these women were given the synthetic hormone diethylstilbestrol, the pregnancy would be sustained. This was a great achievement for the medical/pharmaceutical industry.
As it turned out however, this synthetic drug is a deadly carcinogen, and as those children whose mothers were given this synthetic hormone reached puberty, a certain percentage of the females developed cervical cancer while the male offspring developed testicular cancer.
At first, the reports claimed that only one in 10,000 would have the problem; new statistics however indicate that the figure may be closer to one in 25 or more. I have personally spoken with a number of those individuals who told me that knowing that, they are encouraged to go for medical checkups on a regular basis.
My niece happens to be one of those unfortunate women who developed cervical cancer after the use of diethylstilbestrol during her mother's pregnancy.
But that's only half the story. It became apparent at the onset that this same synthetic hormone could be used in another way. The agricultural industry is always interested in ways to increase what they call "the grain-to-gain-ratio" — how a grower can get more meat with less feeding of grain.
Along these lines, the pharmaceutical industry sold the farmers the idea that if they used this hormone, they would need less grain to fatten their animals. At first, a capsule filled with this hormone was implanted in the tissues under the skin of the neck of the animals.
It released this hormone like a gland over the growing period until slaughter, causing a change in hormonal balances. After several years of use, it became apparent that certain problems were arising.
Of prime importance was the fact that the tissue around the implant contained an inordinate amount of the hormone, and if eaten could lead to cancer. Secondly, it was found that male individuals who inadvertently consumed more of this hormone were showing signs of "gynecomastia," a condition of enlarged breasts in men.
After about five years of use, when these side effects were confirmed, the practice of neck implants was discontinued. The use of this hormone in farm animals was abandoned for several years until the pharmaceutical industry found they could make it in the form of a powder and put it into the livestock feed.
This practice continued for many years until there was enough of an outcry concerning its carcinogenesis (cancer causing effects) then that practice was also discontinued. But it was not stopped until there were other products in the wings ready to take over.
This is the scenario thus far: a synthetic sex hormone, used to prevent spontaneous abortions in women, caused cancer in a percentage of the male and female offspring of the recipient. This same synthetic hormone was used to increase the grain-to-gain-ratio in farm animals.
Although the agricultural industry knew via the Delaney Amendment that it was allowed a zero tolerance of this chemical in meat, traces were found in carcasses and reported by several whistle-blower inspectors (The Delaney Amendment, passed in 1958 forbade the use of any additive that might cause cancer.)
Now, here is the kicker. The medical community now knows that an embryo in the first weeks of life in the womb can be influenced and affected by an infinitesimally small amount of any harmful chemical. In fact, the figures quoted state that an embryo in the uterus can be affected by 1/10,000 the amount that would affect an adult.
So the fear has been, and still is, that the reason for the current high number of cases of cervical cancer in women and testicular cancer in men is because their mothers ate meat tainted with the synthetic hormone diethylstilbestrol at the critical stages of their pregnancies.
I believe that the use of diethylstilbestrol in farm animals has been discontinued, though I'm not certain.
As you can imagine, the pharmaceutical industry was not about to give up such a lucrative product, so they had other hormones waiting.
The question we must now raise is whether the newer hormones being used currently also have inherent dangers that have not yet come to our attention.
Here are some of the products that are now being used in our farm animals. To the best of my knowledge, all are administered via ear implants: Zeranol; Synovex; Cattlyst; Revalor S; Rumensin; Component TH; Ralgro; Bovatec; Monensin and Finaplix.
Zeranol is an anabolic agent that stimulates the pituitary gland to produce increased amounts of somatotropin, a hormone that promotes growth.
Synovex has been modified by the addition of trenbolone acetate, which is an androgen-like compound. Several of the products contain estrogen and estrogen-like compounds as well as progesterone compounds. Cattlyst contains a recently approved substance called laidlomycin propionate, a drug from the category of chemicals called collectively ionophores.
Very interesting to me is a warning presented on the label of one of these products, which states, "Do not attempt salvage of implanted site for human or animal food."
Many countries around the world forbid the use of these drugs and chemicals in their meat production. Do they know something that we don't know? Are they being wisely cautious while we are not?
Frankly, my head is spinning from all of these animal drugs and their names.
And why are we using these products if all the long-term consequences are not yet determined? Remember, with DES it has taken more than 50 years for the truth and a settlement to be forthcoming. Do we want to risk it again?

An Israeli pilot and navigator were killed when their fighter jet crashed during a training flight in southern Israel.
The two-seater F-16I fighter jet, nicknamed Soufa, or storm, crashed Wednesday night near the Ramon Crater. The bodies were found Thursday afternoon, several hours after the crash, following an extensive search.
Human error is suspected in the accident.
Four planes took part in the exercise on the Israeli Air Force's newest plane. Until the exact cause of the crash is pinpointed, training on the airplanes has been halted, according to the military.
In September 2009, an Israel Air Force F-16A fighter plane crashed during a training flight, killing pilot Assaf Ramon, the son of Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon, who died in the crash of the U.S. space shuttle Columbia in 2003.

GLENDALE, AZ - JANUARY 16: Mikko Koivu #9 of the Minnesota Wild skates with the puck during the NHL game against the Phoenix Coyotes at Jobing.com Arena on January 16, 2010 in Glendale, Arizona. The Coyotes defeated the Wild 6-4. (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)
Less than a week ago, General Manger Chuck Fletcher announced that Minnesota's fourth leading scorer Pierre-Marc Bouchard would be out indefinitely with a concussion. The news didn't get better today for the Wild, as the team leader in points, Mikko Koivu, said he is "week-to-week" with an upper body injury. Koivu, who was selected to his first All-Star game last week, said he will most likely be re-evaluated by doctors next Monday. The newest injury is "frustrating" to Koivu who was just feeling 100 percent after a lower body injury he suffered in December. The team captain, who has nine Goals and 24 Assists, was injured after he took a hit in the corner from Blues forward Vladimir Sobotka in the first period Saturday at St. Louis. The clean hit from Sobotka didn't look particularly bad, but Koivu said he knew right away something was wrong. "I was ready for the hit. I was steady, I hit him back a little bit. I took the hit like always, there is nothing you can do differently,...

Looking for Summer Airfare Deals? Or this Winter?
I was checking around for a friend and found a sale on Air Berlin for summer travel, May to October, to certain destinations. I checked a specific route to see if the "as low as" price was just a come-on, and for the dates I checked the prices looked good. Route was LA to Munich. 2-week trip in late May (actually returning 2 June) was 492 GBP (about $800) and a 2-week trip in late July priced out at 681 GBP ($1106). The offer is from other airports as well, like Miami, Chicago, etc., and going to Berlin, Munich, or Zurich. The catch is the booking has to be made by Jan. 7. I also found mention of great fares from LAX for January through April (ike around $808 RT to Barcelona for late April) on fly.com but did not actually price them out to see if that one was real.

Pizza Tray in WFO.
I had my first cook in my recently completed WFO a few days ago. A real success, so I'm delighted.
My only question concerns the speed at which the pizza base burns, and the amount of ash that sticks to the bottom.
I am thinking about putting a pizza tray in to get hot and then cooking on that to keep it of the ash and floor. I did sweep the floor, but perhaps not enough.
Does anyone else cokk on anything other than directly on the oven floor?
Re: Pizza Tray in WFO.
Two things, make up a blow pipe to blow ash off floor after sweeping and if that is not enough, damp mop the floor with a clean damp towel at the end df a stick.
Burning the bottom of first pie is common, I usually do a cheesy bread pizza first and second that are just a little garlic, sea salt olive oil and sharp white cheddar, they cook up in about. 45 seconds and aid in cooling the floor, do not overdo the cheese.
Cooking directly on the floor is the best way to cook.
Re: Pizza Tray in WFO.
With respect to the ash, I use a brass brush to sweep away the majority of the ash. After that I start baking. If you really want all the ash removed, then take a wet towel and drape it over a tool like a hoe. Use the hoe to push the towel around hearth. This will remove the vast majority of the ash. It will also cool down the hearth, which can minimize chances that the bottom of your pizza will burn. Another recommendation is to use a piece of brass piping to blow the ash off of the hearth. In my humble opinion, don't worry about the ash. I leave a thin coat on the hearth every time I bake. It has not killed me or any of my guests so far.
With respect to the base burning, the pan is not your solution. I would suggest moving your fire to the side of the oven about 15 to 30 minutes before you want to bake. This will give the hearth some time to cool down. One of the secrets to baking in a 900 degree environment is to use the same part of the hearth to bake each pizza. When you place the first pizza, a black circle will form on the hearth floor. Use that circle as a reference point. When you turn the pizza, make sure that you put it right back on the same black circle. Do not be tempted to move the pizza to any other real estate in the oven. Stay within the confines of the black circle. When you put your 2nd pizza in, put it in the same position that you put the first pizza. The pizza dough draws a significant amount of heat out of the hearth. By keeping the dough in the same black circle area, you will find that the bottom of your pizza will not burn as much. Another trick is to use a test pizza. For the first pizza of the day, put a dough round with just some sauce on it in the oven. As it bakes, look at the bottom. If the bottom is burning too quickly, then you know that you have to cool the hearth down a little more before starting to bake the pizzas that you want to eat. You can leave the pizza dough with the sauce on it in the oven until it is burnt to a crisp. This will take some heat out of the hearth. If you need to take more heat out, then use the wet clothe trick or put another pizza round with some sauce on it in the oven.
To avoid having the hearth cool down too much, I always have a fire on the left or right side of the dome. The fire needs to be crawling up the side of the oven and onto the roof of the oven. You want to be able to look at the roof of the oven and see a cloud of flame. With that level of fire, the top of the pizza will be done well before the bottom starts to burn. As an aside, do not be tempted to put the fire in the back of the oven. While it is pretty to look at the fire in the back of the oven, you will lose more energy from the fire in that position. The flame will wrap up the side of the oven, over the roof, and straight up your chimney. The chimney part is your enemy. All that energy from the flame will go straight up the chimney flu. If you have the fire on the side, all that energy is simply being transferred to the other side of the oven and not out the chimney.
Re: Pizza Tray in WFO.
Re: Pizza Tray in WFO.
I haven't tried the blow pipe. It seems simple enough to, try and I will in time. I've still got my eyes out trying to find locally a "yard broom" with bamboo bristles that Laurentius recommended. But, lightly slapping the metal peel against the floor brick a few times works great. I first saw that on Karangi Dude's build. A few taps and the ash is air born, caught up in the draw of the flu, and (for a few seconds) looks like smoke coming out of the chimney. When clearing the dome, I don't usually see smoke, so it looks awesome for a moment or two. It may also help in cooling the floor brick, but I am not a pizza buff :).
Re: Pizza Tray in WFO.
I know that they are not a common site in your locale, but a metal ski pole with the end chopped off makes a great blow pipe. You also get to see the ash hit the flue with a tornado like effect.
Re: Pizza Tray in WFO.
You're right about ski poles. To my knowledge, down here, they are non existent. The only skiing we do is on water :). I do have access to different sized tubing though, copper and aluminum. What is the ID of a "ski pole"? I would love to try it.
Re: Pizza Tray in WFO.
Agree with above comments and tried the techniques.
I personally cook mine on standard aluminium pizza trays, with a little olive oil applied at start of the evening. After about a minute the dough base starts to cook and releases from the tray, at ethos point I grab the tray and slide the pizza onto the floor to finish.
If the floor is too hot and the bases are burning I use the peel to return it to the tray.
This technique works if I need to prep bases or others want to make or be involved like my kids.
It cooks fine top and bottom and I can have 3 pizzas in the oven at once, obviously at different stages.
Re: Pizza Tray in WFO.
Try the hollow handle of a golf club ( no pun intended )
Regards dave
Re: Pizza Tray in WFO.
I always use trays, the guests make their own pizza and the trays give them a size to work too, pop them in the oven, if the toppings are piled up as some tend to do I slide the pizza off the tray to cook through on the hearth. :)
I always say "less is more" for toppings, but some guests just keep piling the toppings up.....lol :D

No railyard move in city planBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | March 07,2014The railyard relocation is out and solar power is in as Rutland City updates its master plan.
The Charter and Ordinance Committee, a subset of the Board of Aldermen, met with the city Planning Commission on Thursday as the commission handed over the draft of the updated plan. The plan is due for its five-year update, as required by state law.
Planning Commission Chairman Jack Facey said his group spent the last year working on the update with the Rutland Redevelopment Authority, seeking input from sources such as the Department of Public Works, the city schools, the College of St. Joseph and the Rutland County Solid Waste District.
Theoretically, you guys are supposed to read every word, as well, Facey said. Its up to the full board to adopt it.
Facey said the Board of Aldermen can send the plan back to the commission for revision or make its own changes. The city must hold two public hearings on the plan before adopting it.
The only major change to zoning is a call for a college park zone to cover the 150 acres owned by the College of St. Joseph. The land is zoned single-family residential, which Facey said could prove an impediment if the college wanted to build another dormitory or academic building.
Other major changes include references to the Green Mountain Power-led drive to encourage solar development in the city and the abandonment of the long-dormant railyard relocation project.
The relocated railyard has fallen by the wayside, Facey said. There was a lot of language that referenced that five years ago. Weve eliminated it.
Facey said the plan has language allowing for improvements to the current railyard behind Price Chopper.
Brennan Duffy, executive director of the RRA, said the plan includes a section on combating blight and incorporating data from the housing needs study.
No one on the committee argued against any part of the plan. Asked about the purpose of the plan, Facey said it serves as a guide for developers, telling them what the city wants built where.
RRA grant administrator Barbara Allen said she consults the plan daily.
Every grant that I apply for, there has to be language in the document that says thats what the city wants, she said. Otherwise, we cant get the grant.
The committee took no action, with Board President David Allaire saying the aldermen can set the public hearings at their next meeting and Committee Chairman William Notte saying the committee can reconvene to continue discussing the plan some time thereafter.
