Improving yields through local crop breeding
In Kenya's Central Rift Valley, sweet potato farmers have struggled to produce healthy, high yielding crops, with much of their harvest lost to plant viruses or damaged by weevils. In response, sweet potato breeders from the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute have worked with farmers in the area to select and develop better varieties of sweet potato, which are tolerant of viruses, high yielding and contain high levels of nutrients and vitamin A. Breeder Laura Karanja explains the process, and how through planting the new varieties and attention to farming practices such as weed control, farmers can expect to double their yields. She also points out the importance of breeding crops specific to local areas, in order to match local conditions such as rainfall patterns, soil moisture and altitude.
Broadcast information
Suggested introduction:
By 2050, the global population is predicted to reach 9 billion. How to feed that many people is the subject of meetings and conferences around the world. African countries are likely to play a very important role, as they have the biggest potential to increase their yields and also contain 60 percent of the world's uncultivated farmland. If African farmers could double their crop yields, the continent would have enough food to feed itself and have a significant amount to export to other countries.
Doubling crop yields may sound like an impossible task, but there are plenty of strategies to help farmers achieve it. One strategy is improved crop breeding. Farmers need varieties that are specifically developed to suit the areas in which they live and cope with challenges such as diseases and pests. To develop these varieties, crop breeders are increasingly working in partnership with farmers, in order to understand local conditions and needs. Laura Karanja, for example, is a crop breeder who has been developing new varieties of sweet potato suitable for Kenya's Central Rift Valley. She spoke recently to Geoffrey Onditi, and began by explaining some of the problems facing sweet potato growers in the area.
Closing Announcement:
And Dr Karanja's sweet potato breeding work has been supported by the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa.
Making the most of it:
Orange fleshed sweet potato has been developed in recent years to boost vitamin A consumption, but what other locally-available foods are rich in vitamin A? Ask a nutrition adviser to suggest the best sources of this important vitamin for people in your area.

ATLANTA, Ga. -- Instead of celebrating an anniversary, Georgia Riverkeepers called on the state's gubernatorial candidates to end the tri-state water wars.
A year ago on Saturday, U.S. District Judge Paul Magnuson ruled that much of the metro Atlanta area that uses Lake Lanier for drinking water had no legal right to access the water from the manmade reservoir.
The judge said affected metro Atlanta users had three years to find an alternate water source. The only outs from chutting off the taps in metro Atlanta would be an agreement on use among Georgia, Alabama and Florida or Congress acting to officially change the purpose of Lanier's existence.
A year has ticked off that clock, but there has been no progress. With the three states' governors all set to leave office at the end of this year, there has been widespread speculation that the new gubernatorial administrations in the three states will have this issue fall into their laps when they take office in January 2011. By then the clock will be down to about 18 months for a resolution.
"The talks are at a standstill and it is very frustrating," said Gordon Rogers, Flint Riverkeeper. "There is a lack of any real progress and we have identified 14 stakeholders, like farmers, commercial and pleasure boaters and the recreation industry, that are not involved in the negotiations."
Three Riverkeeper groups with the support of Riverkeeper groups across the state held a news conference Thursday in Atlanta to insist that government officials resolve the water wars with Alabama and Florida to provide water for all of Georgia, not just Atlanta.
"Unless we change course soon, Georgia faces a major water security crisis in two years," said Sally Bethea Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeeper. "Our next governor and state leaders must break the deadlock, which has marked the last 20 years of this conflict."
The Riverkeepers at the event also included Savannah Riverkeeper Tonya Bonitatibus. Together the group offered a three-pronged plan:
-- Respect: That includes the right to enough clean water, a sustainable environment and a prosperous future must be shown for all downstream communities;
-- Reveal: The next governor and administration must reject secrecy and engage all stakeholders openly and fully in the negotiations;
-- Reduce: the next administration must commit to reducing metro Atlanta's demands on water through aggressive conservation and efficiency measures beyond the steps taken by the 2010 Legislature.
The Riverkeepers offered a more detailed written conservation plan to the next governor that included interbasin-transfer regulation; year-round, outdoor watering restrictions; high-efficiency industrial cooling systems, and other water saving measures.

Visual field
The visual field refers to the total area in which objects can be seen in the side (peripheral) vision while you focus your eyes on a central point.
Alternative Names
Perimetry; Tangent screen exam; Automated perimetry exam; Goldmann visual field exam; Humphrey visual field exam
How the test is performed
Confrontation visual field exam: This is a quick and basic check of the visual field. The health care provider sits directly in front of you. You will cover one eye, and stare straight ahead with the other. You will be asked to tell when you can see the examiner's hand.
Tangent screen or Goldmann field exam: You will sit about 3 feet from a screen with a target in the center. You will be asked to stare at the center object and let the examiner know when you can see an object that moves into your side vision. This exam creates a map of your entire peripheral vision.
Automated perimetry: You sit in front of a concave dome and stare at an object in the middle. You press a button when you see small flashes of light in your peripheral vision. Your responses help determine if you have a defect in your visual field.
How to prepare for the test
No special preparation is necessary.
How the test will feel
There is no discomfort with this test.
Why the test is performed
This eye exam will show whether you have a loss of vision anywhere in your visual field. The pattern of vision loss will help your doctor diagnose the cause.
Normal Values
The peripheral vision is normal.
What abnormal results mean
Abnormal results may be due to diseases or central nervous system disorders, such as tumors that damage or press on (compress) the parts of the brain that deal with vision.
Other diseases that may affect the visual field of the eye include:
- Diabetes
- Glaucoma
- High blood pressure
- Macular degeneration
- Multiple sclerosis
- Optic glioma
- Overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism)
- Pituitary gland disorders
- Retinal detachment
- Stroke
- Temporal arteritis
What the risks are
The test has no risks.
Special considerations
Your health care provider will discuss with you the type of visual field testing to be done.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
For decades, Steve Richardson, a language arts teacher at Parkview, has been impressing upon his students that to get the most out of a book you need to know the author. I tend to agree with Steve and ever since my sons attended Parkview, I've always make a point of reading the "about the author" blurb in a book before I read it. For this reason I love how the Gwinnett County Public Library sponsors the Meet the Author Series for the community.
Through this program I met authors like Rick Bragg, who wrote "All Over But the Shoutin" and Sara Gruen, author of "Water for Elephants," who amazed me with the research she put in to her novels.
The library staff continues to create these opportunities for readers of all ages. In February, my granddaughter Brooke attended a Mardi Gras tea where she met Evelyn Coleman, one of the authors of the American Girl series. After a brief talk and bead- stringing activity, Brooke was able to spend a little time alone questioning the author and getting a personalized penned message on her souvenir copy of her latest book. I found this really special since Brooke's Grandma Penny had just given her an American Girl doll for Christmas along with a book to start her collection of this wonderful series.
Just a few weeks ago, Stuart Woods entertained fans with stories of what influenced his writing, and the series continues this Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at the Norcross Cultural Center. Three best-selling authors will discuss their books and books in general in terms of past, present and future.
Claire Cook's past includes a most moving experience as she loves telling about the first of her ten novels that she penned at age 45 in her minivan. Five years later her second novel, "Must Love Dogs" was made into a film. Her most recent work, "Life's a Beach," will be featured and I can't wait to ask her what influenced her characters' discussion of mortal vs venial sin.
Cindy Woodsmall, who writes about the Amish, really captivated me with "When the Heart Cries," bringing back memories of living in Pennsylvania.
Wendy Wax, award-winning author of eight novels, will focus on "Magnolia Wednesdays" but I hope I can get her to spend some time on her latest work, "While We Were Watching Downton Abbey."
Yes, I said "I" because Denise Auger of GCPL graciously asked me to lead the discussion. There will be time at the end for questions from the audience, but if there's something you'd like to know up front, just zap me an email and I'll try to work it in.
The event is free and their books will be available for purchase. The featured books will be raffled off as door prizes. And if you win, the real treasure will be that you know the author.

When I was out on a solo trip last week, I encountered a large number of elk. I've often seen signs of elk, but this was my first time actually seeing them and I wasn't 100% sure what to do. I'd heard bugling throughout the day, but my first sighting came just after I finished eating dinner. I was sitting against a tree with my dog and an elk came out of some trees less than 50 feet away. It didn't even notice us until my dog started whining (luckily she was leashed), at which point the massive creature bounded away.As the sun started to go down, I started hearing more and more elk bugling. Walking back to my tent, I scared away another elk on accident. And right after the sun went down, the elk bugling became even more frequent and close. After listening to them all for awhile and hearing them get closer, I started to be able to hear them run around the forest, huff and snort, and kick around dirt with their hooves. At this point, I was getting a little concerned I might get run over in my tent or charged in my sleep. I finally got out of my tent and started making some noise and yelling. At first, the elk (whose forms I could vaguely make out in places) just stood there. After jingling my dog's collar though they all ran away. I had thought that my dog's and mine smell would be enough to dissuade them from coming near, but I guess not. Within an hour though the elk were back and the bugling just as loud. So I scared them off again. This repeated for a few hours before things finally quieted down. The next day, I saw about 8 elk withing my first 10 minutes of being on the trail, another two elk a mile later, and then 4 more over the next 13 miles.In these situations, what is the best action to take with elk? What would you have done? Was my concern of being run over in my tent valid? I was camped in a relatively flat, medium to low density pine forest. Was this just a bad camping spot? Elk are certainly amazing and giant creatures and I hope to see more of them, I just want to be more knowledgeable for my next set of encounters. Pretty sure this is one or two elk footprints:Here were two guys with antlers I managed to get a quick shot of:(I circled the elk in red because they're kind of hard to see)
Edited by johnnyh88 on 09/17/2012 20:58:43 MDT.
I never heard of Elk running over a sleeping person. I'm pretty sure they'd know what it was. Your experience sounds like one I had with deer in VA. I was camped with four boys up on the AT and late at night I heard a snort which I quickly identified as a startled deer. I then heard them stomping their hooves before running away. This cycle of snorting, stomping and running was repeated several times. Apparently we were sleeping right on the deer's bedding ground and they kept coming back to see if we were gone!
Yea, I'd never heard of a problem either but I thought I'd ask. Just like with your deer, it would make sense that I was probably in their bedding ground.
I doubt they'd ever hit you while sleeping, especially if you have a visible shelter, but a deer did run into me once. On a sidewalk next to a hotel on an island off the coast of Georgia. She was obviously stressed and panicked while running away from something and just ran right into the back of my arm. Scared me to death. I wasn't hurt and she was gone before I even realized what had happened, though.And once while hiking I almost walked into a deer. Came around a switchback in fog and howling wind and he was only 2 feet from me. Strangely, he didn't run, just walked a few steps away and started munching on some leaves while I passed.Weird stuff does happen, but I don't think it's worth worrying about unless the animal is getting obviously hostile towards you. Still, I was bushwacking recently to get a close up picture of a moose and I thought, "Gee this would be a really dumb way to die." You never know for sure with big wild animals, I suppose.
Similar to a comment above, my first thinking after reading your account is that you managed to locate your camp in those particular elks' bedding area. Or, possibly, their love nest.
Given that it is Fall, I'm thinking the elk may have been in their rut during which they are more concerned about finding each other (the bugling and milling about) than in avoiding you. In the Upper Midwest, deer get hit a lot by cars as the normally shy creatures come bounding out of the bushes as they cross the highways. This also fits in the way those elk weren't alert to you or your dog.While some species (elephant in musth) get aggressive, I am unaware of that happening in deer. I never noticed it in mule deer in California up and I don't see it in moose here in Alaska (I do see mothers aggressively protecting claves, especially in early May when they are new-born). Similarily, these elk apparently responded by leaving once aware of you and your dog, so I'd mark this week on your calender and in the future make more noise when traveling and avoid game trails for campsites.
The bugling is the males sounding off during the rut. They can bugle all night long. Since you are not another elk, you are of no interest and no threat to them.The elk use the same trails we do.The most danger is being shot by an anxious hunter as you walk through a brushy area.
Bull elk may threaten or charge if you and the dog get really close or get between them and a female. Most of the time, though, they'll run. I doubt they'd run over your tent unless you camped on a path. A few years back one spent the night bugling between my camp and the nearby lake. At first I was thrilled, but the 5th or 6th time he woke me out of a sound sleep, I started thinking seriously about elk stew for breakfast! Moose? They can be downright dangerous! I'd rather meet a bear!
"The bugling is the males sounding off during the rut. They can bugle all night long. Since you are not another elk, you are of no interest and no threat to them"Not true. Stay at least 30 m away.
"Moose? They can be downright dangerous! I'd rather meet a bear!"I'm with you, Mary. I've had a mother moose stalk me for 400 yards, across a shallow lake, through heavy deadfall, and get within 15' of me. She kicked the dirt, snorted and sprayed me with moose-spit, and generally let me know that I was her biggest problem. I've had a mother griz treat me with far more respect. I've come to hate seeing moose in the wild, as half the time I feel a bit threatened by their presence. They need a lot of space.I also had 5-6 male elk charging past my tent once, in the middle of the night. One or two bumped into my tent guy lines, but no serious problems.
A male elk in full rut can be dangerous. They literally are out of their minds. I have been told repeatedly by various rangers to stay away from them. In Yellowstone, they have been known to attack cars. My first visit to Yellowstone was during the elk rut. One of the males attacked a car several hours before I arrived. Elk normally are not animals you worry to much about danger wise.....but rut changes the situation. It is best to remove yourself from their vicinity when you encounter a male bugling.....that means a female is near and he desparately wants her. He might feel threatened by you and attack.
Sounds like guys on heat outside a nightclub.They attack each others, smash cars and just don't try to get in between them and a female...elks like it
attack videodeerhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HniE-dHhCNANationally, deaths caused by domestic elk are rare. A 51-year-old Vermont man was killed in September 2002 when his 700-pound bull elk gored him during fall rut.Elk and deer attacks in the wild also are rare.A deer killed a California man in September while the man worked in his garden.http://www.steamboattoday.com/news/2006/feb/09/elk_attacks_rare/
Thanks for the info/thoughts every one.My main concern wasn't being attacked when awake, it was being accidentally run over in the middle of the night. It was certainly a night I was glad I set my tent up. I'm not sure if a sex-crazed male Elk would have noticed a person sleeping in a bivy sack.
Kiwanis are more dangerous.
I recall a few years ago doing a solo trip with a hammock rather than a tent. Heard a lot of Elk bugling, and walking not that far away. I thought it was kind of cool at the time.Then when I went home I read up a bit more about buck Elk behavior when in rut. One article talked to people who live near forest, warning that such Elk like to spar with inanimate objects, such as "lawn furniture or hammocks".Made me a bit less inclined to use a hammock in times when the Elk are feeling passionate about life. I do also recall a large deer or elk walking much too close for comfort when I was in a bivy sack once, but I would particularly like to avoid the epitaph "Died as an Elk Pinata whilst hammock camping".In truth I have no idea what the odds are, but it's something I factor in now when selecting a solo shelter for a particular trip.
spam...marking this thread in case it becomes another invisible thread
Although I have been camping out west during elk rutting season, I have never experienced them being aggressive. Not saying it doesn't happen with any rutting animal. Goat, sheep, deer, ... can all get out of their mindsI mostly hike in the NY, CT, NJ area.I have had buck deer threaten me during rutting season, but never attack, only walk towards me barking and then turning away. This usually happens in prime grazing areas and/or meadows.I did see one young buck who got excited by a group of camping teenagers. The kids were all wearing bright wild outfits, some kind of outdoor rave, costume party or something.The buck walked into the middle of the crowd waving his head around in a crazy, drunk, almost threatening fashion. The teenagers were almost able to touch him. He eventually walked away when the kids all tried to touch him at the same time.It made me think of what could happen...
I lived in Jasper, Alberta for a year... when the Elk are in rut they are the biggest danger going. I only used my mountain bike that time of year, because it gave me a means of out running a charging bull. This is not merely something that could happen, it happened on nearly every ride. if you get within the sight or smell range of a bull in rut, it will charge you... guaranteed.They mostly congregate in the valley bottoms during the rut, high country is much safer and more Elf-free.// edit: Elk free.... lol
Edited by NLslacker on 02/17/2013 11:38:23 MST.
LOL. This thread definitely made me think of Jasper. Used to go with a few friends and watch the tourists and the elk. We would sit on the lawn and make odds on if an elk would charge. Never saw people run so fast.

Community-based doctor service
Doctor Anthon Meyer is not your run-of-the-mill physician.
November 29, 2007: Volume 34 #24
He has created a community-based program that is unique in its approach to health-care delivery in remote communities.
Born in South Africa, Meyer came to Canada in 2000. He qualified as a family physician in South Africa and worked to obtain his Canadian certification, which he earned in 2002. Initially he worked as an emergency medical physician in Thompson, Manitoba. He has always worked in what he terms "rural, under-serviced areas."
The program he created is called Anthon Meyer Doctor Service, or AMDOCS for short. He currently delivers the program in the First Nations of Pikangikum, Kitchenuhmaykoosib and Muskrat Dam.
In the past, physician services to communities such as these were simply outreach programs, with a family physician visiting perhaps once a month or week from a place such as Sioux Lookout.
Not so in his case. Meyer prefers to treat his patients right in their home community on a regular basis.
"For me, it's about the principle where I believe the best health care a community member can receive ... is in his or her home or town," Meyer says. "My program's experience has taught me that it's one of the best ways I can change the outcome of disease profiles.
"Remote isolated communities have been neglected so many years in the past by not receiving adequate care in terms of resources, in terms of expertise, in terms of comprehensive physician services."
Meyer explains that when a doctor arrives at a remote community such as Pikangikum, it can be an overwhelming experience for the unprepared.
"You are confronted with complexity of disease, with acuity levels based on what I call 'acute exasperation' of chronic disease," Meyer says.
This method of health-care delivery created a shortcoming, according to Meyer, in that a patient could not receive detailed, comprehensive health care. It also led to doctors' inability to focus on individuals and instead focus on a patient's one ailment, he says.
For example, a doctor may focus just on a patient's hypertension "because there are so many people (who are) waiting to see the doctor, the waiting list is so long."
Billy Joe Strang, chairman of a health committee in Pikangikum, says doctor time with patients has improved since Dr. Meyer arrived with his program.
"The doctor spends more time with the patients – 30 to 40 minutes at a time (as opposed to) 15 minutes previously," Strang says.
"I think access to physicians is really one of the major improvements," he adds.
For example, patients in the past would typically be referred to a general practitioner (GP) in Sioux Lookout, who would then refer them to another GP, who would then refer the patient to a specialist, and the process could take months, Strang says.
With Dr. Meyer, a patient can be referred to a specialist directly.
Making the patient a partner in the management plan is also part of Meyer's approach.
"It is about spending time with you," Meyer explains.
"Now, all physicians in my experience want to have such a rapport and such a consultation with a patient but in the isolated rural areas where you are confronted with multiple patients, with a backlog that is severe, I've found that's where many things fall through the cracks.
"Therefore the (community-based) program focuses mainly on chronic disease management on the neglected patient in a comprehensive way of dealing with patient care ... to succeed in getting the patient's partnership in compliance."
Meyer says he has seen success over and over with this treatment model in rural, under-serviced areas.
"I've been involved in 13 different remote communities in northern Manitoba over the past seven years using this model. I have witnessed the difference we are making."
For Meyer, dealing with backlogs of patients also involves capacity building – creating an effective infrastructure of administrative and support staff.
"It is like 30 ants in a little building running around trying to settle things down," Meyer says. "In that process the people working there, whether they are the professional people or the administrative staff, suffer grossly from the inadequate resources available to them and they do not have the opportunity to grow as workers."
Strang confirmed that capacity building was one of the areas Dr. Meyer worked at improving when he first arrived in Pikangikum, and now health staff do not require as much supervision.
After successful capacity-building efforts, Meyer can focus on chronic disease management.
Meyer says all waiting lists in the three northwestern Ontario communities he now serves were cleared within six months of introducing his new approach to the region in September 2006.
Those lists, he adds, previously seldom numbered less than 200.
In Kitchenuhmaykoosib, waiting lists were long and medevacs were common – as many as 30 a month, according to a health service provider in the community who did not want to be named.
Since the arrival of AMDOCS, the number of medevacs has been cut back to an average of about five per month and there is no longer a backlog of patients waiting to be seen.
The First Nation Family Physician Health Services branch of the Independent First Nations Alliance (IFNA) contracted AMDOCS for three years.
"I do not accept contracts that are less than two years ... because it is not something that can happen overnight," Meyer says.
Meyer sees the changes when the patients in the community start referring to the doctors as "our" doctors instead of the government doctors, and take ownership of their own health-care system.
"We already see that in the three communities which are serviced, which is great actually," Meyer says.
Success is also measured through questionnaire leaflets given to patients who fill out the leaflets anonymously and through feedback from the First Nation Family Physician Health Services board of directors.
Strang says his office receives calls from patients who express happiness with the current physician services.
Meyer notes that the "show rate" for his patients – the percentage of people who show up for their appointments – "is close to 90 per cent, which is unheard of."
And the smiles he sees on the faces of his patients would only be there "if there is trust in the relationship," Meyer adds.
He also measures the success of his program through the feeling he gets from the community.
"I feel at home … when I go into my office. When you first arrive you are the outsider; people look at you as the 'big doctor.'
"That is an artificial relationship."
When people such as the woman filing the medical charts ask Meyer personal questions such as "How's your wife?" he knows he has arrived.
"Then I know they have invited me into their community."
Grant Keesic — Special to Wawatay News
Healing families a key to good health
Dr. Anthon Meyer recommends the prerequisite healthy diet and exercise for patients to prevent disease and to adjust lifestyles of patients.
"I would prescribe exercise like I would prescribe an aspirin," Meyer says. "That means, 150 minutes per week you do active exercise and you spread that over the seven days of the week."
Also recommended are the breaking of bad smoking habits and the avoidance of alcohol.
But Meyer also believes sincerely in the mending of familial relationships as a pathway to good health.
"(It is) something which is very, very dear to my heart," Meyer says. "It is going back to traditional family roots.
"My eyes have seen so many things in communities such as the ones that I work in which want to make my cry – when I look at the family relationships (and) the serious breakdown and generation gaps that we have. If we can recover the family as a unit, if we can recover the traditional values, if we can recover the discipline in the relationship between parents and children, if we can fix that alone and we can heal the pain and the hurt and suffering of the emotional aspect within the family unit, it would take at least half of the sicknesses in the community away."

Prof. Harold Koh to Address Human Rights Workshop on "The Eighth Amendment and Execution of the Mentally Retarded," Nov. 30
Harold Hongju Koh, the Gerard C. and Bernice Latrobe Smith Professor of International Law at YLS, will address the Human Rights Workshop on "Atkins v. Virginia: The Supreme Court Revisits the Eighth Amendment and Execution of the Mentally Retarded," on Friday, November 30, at 12:10 p.m. in the Faculty Lounge. The talk is free and open to the public.
Professor Harold Koh says his talk at the Human Rights Workshop will begin with the question "How does the U.S. policy of executing people, . . . particularly the mentally retarded, increasingly lead us into a state of isolation internationally?"
In his experience as assistant secretary of state for democracy, human rights, and labor in the Clinton administration, Koh increasingly came to believe that the continuing existence of the death penalty was causing damage to the standing of the U.S. as a leader in human rights. More than half the countries in the world have abolished the death penalty, and, according to Koh, the U.S. is "completely isolated" in executing the mentally retarded. Koh points out that this is a difficult position to be in while simultaneously trying to mobilize foreign opinion for the battle against terrorism.
The next question that Koh asks is "How should international opinion about the death penalty be expressed in our constitutional law?"
The opportunity to answer this, at least partially, is approaching in the case of Atkins v. Virginia, which the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear in February 2002. Daryl Atkins, who has an IQ of 59, was accused of killing a man to get money for beer.
Koh argues that international standards as well as domestic ones can be integrated into judgment of such a case through interpretation of the "cruel and unusual" clause in the Eighth Amendment. He explains that what amounts to cruel and unusual punishment is determined by "evolving standards of decency." In 1989, the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution did not forbid execution of the retarded, but indicated that the "standards of decency" could change enough to make the practice untenable.
In 1989, only two states and the federal government explicitly outlawed executing the mentally retarded. Since then sixteen more states have enacted bans, while twelve states don't allow capital punishment at all. Should the decision on the Atkins case incorporate the world's revulsion at this practice, as well as the trend away from it within the United States?
Koh, along with Deena Hurwitz, the Robert M. Cover/Allard K. Lowenstein Fellow in International Human Rights, and a number of YLS students in the Lowenstein Clinic, wrote an amicus curiae brief on the case arguing that international standards should count. And, he adds that the decision in this case could affect how international opinion is reflected in other human rights issues within the U.S.
Koh predicts that the Atkins case will be decided by how "particular swing justices view the need to respect foreign opinion."
In addition, Koh says that he will tell the story of "my personal views of the death penalty and how they have changed" in his talk. He will describe how, between his days as a law student and the present, he came to believe that many of the arguments in favor of the death penalty proved untrue.

Vitamin D
Vitamin D is most widely known as the sunshine vitamin because our bodies are able to make Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight for a period of time. Vitamin D has received a lot of press in recent days' and is probably most well-known for the role it plays in supporting bone health. Vitamin D also plays an important role maintaining cardiovascular function' immune function' and promoting an overall sense of well-being.
Vitamin D is converted in the body to the active 1'25(OH)2 form. This conversion is regulated by parathyroid hormone (PTH) and low levels of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D is available in two different forms' D2 and D3. Vitamin D3 is the preferable form as it has been found to modulate 25(OH)D levels for a longer period of time when compared to vitamin D2.

The warm tropical waters and ideal breaking waves that surround the Hawaiian Islands make Hawaii a true surfing paradise. This ancient sport is deeply rooted in Hawaiian culture with surfers arriving from all corners of the globe to test themselves on the large and challenging waves found throughout Hawaii.
While no one knows for sure exactly when, where and who first tried surfing, it was likely attempted first in the Society Islands but later really took hold in the Hawaiian Islands. When Captain Cook landed on Hawaii in 1778, he documented some of the earliest written records that describe surfing, although ancient Polynesians had been surfing for hundreds of years prior to his observance. Hieroglyphics on lava rocks that depict people on surfboards have been found in Hawaii dating back over 500 years – although Hawaiians were likely surfing many centuries before that.
Surfing in Hawaiian culture
Surfers today typically consider surfing to be just a sport, but to ancient Hawaiians, surfing was considered to be part sport and part religion as a significant part of Hawaiian culture.
Surfing was even part of the Kapu system of government on the islands which helped to maintain a sense of order as well as societal classes. Surfboards used were divided into classes by the type of wood utilized as well as the length of the board with the largest and heaviest dedicated only for Hawaiian royalty.
The ruling class, or ali'I, used boards that were 14 to 16 feet long and carved out of the buoyant wood of the wiliwili tree, weighing as much as 175 pounds; this massive surfboard was called an olo and used only by the most exceptional surfers.
Surfing competitions were held to settle disputes including social standing, land ownership and even "who got the girl." In order to maintain a high standing within the community, the island chief had to be the very best surfer, constantly testing his strength and skill in the waves in order to avoid being ousted by someone better.
Near extinction
In the early part of the 19th century, English settlers arrived on the islands and attempted to take control over the people, prohibiting many traditional practices nearly driving surfing practically to extinction. Hawaiian people endured years of oppression until social reform began at the start of the 20th century and a group of native Hawaiians revived surfing. Its resurgence continued and visitors who arrived enjoyed watching the sport with it eventually finding its way back to the mainland.
Surfing on the mainland
One documented story, according to Santa Cruz, California historian Geoff Dunn, is that three Hawaiian princes, Jonah Kuhio Kalaniana'ole, David Kawananakoa and Edward Keliiahonui visited family friends in Santa Cruz during their summer break from St. Matthew's Hall, a military school for boys that they attended in San Mateo, in 1885. They were said to have ordered 15-foot, 100 pound surfboards carved from local redwood and paddled out at the river mouth where a large wave was said to have historically broke.
The royal family of Hawaii boosted this claim just a few years ago when they honored the princes who first introduced surfing on the mainland by giving the city a bronze plaque commemorating the event.
Today, surfing is one of the most popular sports along the California coast, although Hawaii is considered to be the ultimate surfer's paradise, drawing enthusiasts from all over the world to enjoy some of the best surfing the sea has to offer.

Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia has made its Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 Windows Phone 8 handsets available in one more market, namely Nigeria, where the phones are now up for reservations.
The new mobile phones will be available on the network of wireless carrier MTN, each bundled with six months of free internet access.
However, it seems that the handsets won't be reaching users until early next year, at least this is what a recent article on AllAfrica.com reads.
At the launch event, Nokia's Vice President, Nokia West Africa, James Rutherfoord, reportedly said that the two new smartphones were designed to prove great options for both business users and consumers.
"These are the best devices we have made in the smartphone category and we believe that this is going be much appreciated by our consumers. At Nokia, our focus is to bring the very best of technology to our consumers which aid, excite and benefit their work and social lives," he said.
"With the groundbreaking technology incorporated in these devices, we are giving consumers every reason to switch to Lumia."
"What's more, we are also giving them the opportunity to pre-order the devices on Jumia.com, along with the chance to win a wireless charger or other cool Nokia accessories at discounted prices," Rutherfoord added.
Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 are available for pre-order at the moment both on MTN's website as well as through the carrier's stores. Customers who place orders in advance will receive special discounts when it comes to purchasing accessories for these smartphones.
Nokia has packed Lumia 920 with a 4.5-inch PureMotion HD+ touchscreen, a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of internal memory, an 8-megapixel PureView photo snapper on the back, NFC, LTE, wireless charging and the like.
Lumia 820, on the other hand, arrives on shelves with a 4.3-inch screen, 1.5GHz dual-core CPU, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal memory, microSD memory card slot, and 8MP camera.

ESPN highlights Gordon's buzzer-beater
Junior point guard Mike Gordon banked an inbounds pass off a defender's back in the final moments of the Bearcats' Jan. 31 game and released a layup to give Binghamton a stunning 66-65 win over Stony Brook.
The unusual move got the attention of ESPN's SportsCenter on Feb. 2. It appeared in the show's Top 10 Plays.
The Bearcats rallied from 11 points down in the second half, thanks to Gordon and senior guards Steve Proctor and Troy Hailey. Gordon had 13 points, 10 in the second half.
Visit http://www.bubearcats.com/sports/mbask/index.html to see a video clip of the buzzer-beater.
The team's next home game begins at 1 p.m. Sunday against Maine.

I think they're more like very smart Children. They really believe, I think (at least many of them), that they fully understand the market and financial forces they pretend to manage. Essentially, they think they are skipping rocks, carefully chosen, over water they see and understand. In other words, they think it is their own skill that is in control.
I agree that what they're doing is like skipping rocks – but down a loose, rocky hillside.
So when the inevitable happens, and we refuse to hold anyone accountable, why are we surprised??
Too Funny
Governor Romney calling Obama's "… campaign tactics "disgusting" and "demeaning," adding: "It's something which I think the president should take responsibility for and stop." This regarding questioning the practices of Bain Capital, Romney's main claim to business expertise.
This from a party and campaign saying that the current President is "taking away our Freedoms" and "Attacking the Constitution", and the usual "Taking away our Guns".
Funny and sad…
Look – I am convinced that Mr. Romney had no operational role at Bain after he left for the Olympics in SLC. But that's not the point. Romney wants to distance himself from what Bain did after 1999, because that's when most of the deals were done that had "politically unpalatable content and consequences" (read as increased use of outsourcing/offshoring and other such US job losing tactics). Understandable – but does he want us to belive that Bain 'suddenly' changed tactics after he left? Did they begin operating in a way that was objectionable – to Romney? If so, he should say so. If not, he should explain why their tactics were ok. After all, he helped found the company.
Is Romney proud of the company he started, or not?
Venting and more venting…
Paul Ryan – "Rights do not come from Government, they come from Our Creator". Really? What an ignoramus. In a cloak of Catholicism, this twit forgets that all so-called "rights" are abstract, and only have reality when there is a way of enforcing them. Right to Life? Tell that to the kid that just died as 'collateral damage' to a military bombing.
We live in a federal democracy. We agree on what our rights are, and we agree on how to help enforce them (i.e., make sure they are uniformly proected and applied).
Don't confuse 'rights' with morality.
CPAC Run; Run CPAC, Run
It doesn't help the so-called "CPAC" when their most fervent reception is given to a Quitter.
Attack on Religion? I think Not
Clumsiness & stupidity, yes.
What is the Obama administrations greatest error in the continuing flap over so-called "reproductive health care"…? Simple – they foolishly based their statutory language on laws currently on the books in many states. Technically, not an entirely bad approach.
Why was that foolish? Easy answer – most folks are completely ignorant about what their State's laws are. There is no news outlet – cable or local – that focuses on such detail ( at least not with any regularity). All the news does is work to get us upset over 'National Issues". Better ratings that way.
And then how does the News bear its responsibility to inform the Public? "Not well at all" is the kindest way to put it.
Example from February 10: Wolf Blitzer, the deer-in-the-headlights Star of His Own Show on CNN, listened politely to Rick Santorum say that not only was President Obama attacking Religious Freedom, but that the President was "attacking Freedom Itself!!!" What was the Wolf's answer? Did he ask the former Senator to back up such inflammatory rhetoric with any Facts?
Nope. He said "Thank you for talking with us."
Useless. With Reagan, Clinton, W, and now President Obama, the pathetic press has sat on the sidelines and allowed an escalating war of words and images to be propagated without challenge. Investigative Journalism? Give me a break. They are so afraid of losing access, of offending either party, that they allow virtually anything to be said on the air, under their nose, on their byline. They have become nothing more than large outlets.
Which leads me to this – what do you call an outlet that only spews crap?
More On Money
"Citizens United" – what's the stupidest thing about that decision? For me, it's the twin concepts of 'Corporate Personhood' and 'Money = Speech'.
Wow. I have to think that our Founders and Framers would be a little bit disappointed in us. For me, it's pretty self-evident, but let's see if we can walk thru this slowly.
Corporations are legal relationships amongst people gathered for a profitable enterprise – the people running the enterprise and the people they've asked to give them money for a reasonable rate of return (their shareholders). Want it even more simple? PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE. CORPORATIONS ARE AGREEMENTS BETWEEN PEOPLE. Corporations are what's called abstract – drawn up, basically (bear with me etymologically). It's a form of financial partnership (hear the money words? that's why these are twin concepts!).
Now let's take money (yeah, lots of it ha ha ha). Money is a method of exchange for value given (or taken). More simply – money is what we use to buy stuff.
Speech – that's people talking, writing. Talking and writing to each other, about each other, with each other. Sometimes you can use money to get someone to talk. These are usually called speeches. You can use money to get someone to write. These are called (among other things) 'books'.
With me so far? No? Let's try this: MONEY IS FOR PURCHASING. SPEECH IS TALKING and WRITING. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING. Political money is spent to buy things. When one gives money to someone, some form of performance or value is expected in return. Now many (including a majority on the Supreme Court, unfortunately) seem to think that money is simply part of our public discourse. But what does your conscience tell you? What does the evidence of what is happening to our public discourse tell you? Is money speech, or is it (still and always) for buying stuff?
Business & Corporate Purpose
It's fashionable these days (especially since the 1990s) to say that the only purpose of Business, most especially the Corporation, is to Make Money. This sounds technically honest, and married to the mantra "maximize shareholder value" has in fact been driving our businesses more and more, year after year.
Only one problem – it's Bullshit.
Any enterprise meant to provide more than today's food or shelter must provide a value over and above today's food and shelter – whether it be farming, water, cars, art… anything useful – or it cannot survive without artificial measures (more on that below). This is anthropologically & historically how such enterprises arose and flourished.
Forgetting this fundamental leads to one source of our difficulty today – we actually believe money itself has intrinsic value. Money is a wonderful and convenient (portable) symbol of exchange, consideration given for value received, which is then exchanged elsewhere for other value. This method of exchange in the US (and for most of the world) is based on the Good Faith and Credit of the US Government (about which I've blogged before).
We have become so consumed with permanent cash flow and cash growth (whatever that is!) that we have condoned (all of us) the concentration of monetary wealth in the entities with the least real stake in providing value – those whose purpose is to facilitate the exchange. Put differently: the producers are no longer the holders of the most wealth (as they have been historically), the moneychangers are.
Worse yet, we've actually put the financial folks in charge, and given them the complete backing of our Treasury (artificial measures – remember TARP and other "interventions"?).
Does anyone really think that is a good idea…? I think it's an abomination: Our Government propping up the emptiest of our enterprises.
Way to go, Charlie
Reading one of my sources today – National Review – found this quote from Charles Krauthammer regarding CERN's recent experiment that showed some neutrinos may travel faster than light:
"The implications of such a discovery are so mind boggling, however, that these same scientists immediately requested that other labs around the world try to replicate the experiment. Something must have been wrong to account for a result that, if we know anything about the universe, is impossible."
Now, the overall tone was a little bit tongue in cheek – read it here – but does Mr K really know that little about science? After all, he used to be a Psychiatrist….
Re: Budget – GET TO WORK
Here's a relatively simple idea… There are a lot of documented plans and ideas 'out there' to solve Washington's budget problems. Using this site as an example,
the morons our elected officials could:
- Parse each idea as to category
- Remove all attribution from each idea
- Meet and discuss the merits of each idea
- Vote on each idea
- Write a plan and budget(s) using the selected ideas
Silly, I know. It would remove the "it's our idea" factor – and after all, THAT's what's most important, isn't it?
Cheney Smoking – try a mirror
If Dick C was really the plain-speaking hero he pretends to be – and who the press seems to fawn over – then wouldn't he just say "Torture" instead of "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques"…? Then he could say, "Hell, yes, we used torture – and I'd do it again, because it was the right thing to do!".
I could respect that. Not agree with it – but I'd respect it.

Ford Unveils 6.7-Liter Power Stroke Engine Compatible with B20
January 8, 2010
The Ford Motor Company has announced an new 6.7-liter Power Stroke V-8 turbocharged diesel engine that is compatible with biodiesel up to B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% petroleum diesel). The new diesel engine will debut in the 2011 Ford F-Series Super Duty pickup and is expected to deliver significant improvement in torque, horsepower, and fuel economy.
The diesel engine team made improvements and changes throughout the engine architecture to deliver aggressive horsepower, torque, emissions, and fuel economy targets. The 6.7-liter Power Stroke uses an "inboard exhaust" architecture, an automotive-industry first for a modern production diesel engine. The inboard exhaust and outboard intake architecture, a first for a modern production diesel engine, reduces overall exhaust system volume, which leads to better throttle response for the customer.

2015 Ford Bronco Concept and Price. – This is information about future car 2015 Ford Bronco Concept and Price. Introducing new car 2015 Ford Bronco : a luxury sports car that reaches new heights in terms of elegance, has an elegant shape, quality, performance and this car is also very environmentally friendly. Ford is one of the most popular car brands in the world. That's why we will provide the most complete information from 2015 Ford Bronco with Specs, Engine, Interior, Exterior, Review, Release Date, Price and detailed information from Futurenewcarrelease.com.
When we are talking about Ford Bronco, we must go back to the year 1966. The first generation of the Bronco had been produced in that year, and that was the first SUV vehicle made by Ford. Bronco shared the platform with Mustang and Falcon. As a competitor to better known Jeep SUV, Bronco have developed. Second generation of Ford Bronco had started with producing in 1978. Lasted until 1996, it shared the same platform as F-150 pickup truck. It was a successor of the Ford Expedition.
Over the past few years Ford has been making their SUV's all AWD Crossovers and therefore if you want something capable off-road that is Ford you had to either get the Ford F-150 or the Ford F-150 because that's it. The Ford Explorer is now designed to utilize efficiency, the Ford Escape looks like a Ford Focus is shooting steroids and the Ford Edge says that the vehicle is not capable in the owner's manual. So now we see that there is a niche of SUV's that is actually growing in front of us because everyone is being a pussy and making their SUV's into minivans. The new Nissan Pathfinder looks less capable than the Murano Crosscabriolet. The Nissan Xterra may vanish, the Chevy Tahoe could become a hunkered down crossover therefore destroying ground clearance and all while the Jeep sales are up because people are buying Wranglers and Grand Cherokees. There is certainly those of us that want the ability to get off the beaten path and get the hell away from society every once in awhile.
2015 Ford Bronco Price
About the 2015 Ford Bronco price, it is predicted that the car will have a cost around $26,000 and it is about the base model. It means that the car is affordable especially for travel car that has a stylish design through the exterior and interior. When it comes to the market, the big competitors are Chevy FJ Cruiser and Jeep Wrangler for 2015 Ford Bronco Price.
2015 Ford Bronco Concept
for the exterior, it will have the similar concept with its previous generation that is 2013. The car is designed in strong finishing and it is combined with the metal surface adjacent as the way to remove the fatigue. We heard that 2015 Ford Bronco Concept nonsense SUV that is built in well development. The model is created and different from other helicopters, while about the choice type, it is available with wheelbase, erect roof, round and short headlights for submitted door. If we talk about the interior, it there are less information because the company keep it to be surprising. What we expect is there are a lot of improvements especially in the dashboard, the access, the spacious room, safety features, navigation system, infotainment system, improved quality leather for seats and many more as other future cars did in order to make a hit for 2015 Ford Bronco Concept.
Based on some informations and rumors, 2015 ford bronco will use various engine systems such as 3.5 L ecoboost, 5 L also 4.5 diesel engine system. There are some version of ford bronco that you can find such as 2Dr and 4Dr, but there is no detail information about the transmission and the fuel economy system that is offered this car.
meanwhile a few gossips advised that 2015 Ford Bronco release Date can take delayed this season. you will be able to be in bit with qualified investors on your Ford to find out extra concerning the 2015 Ford Bronco value. there is not any objective why you ought to gradually skipped when it comes onto the high-class and pleasure that will have Ford automobiles. this car is designed within the technique that they actually can provide you with even a little over you expected. we guarantee we basically can upgrade soon when Ford declares 2015 Ford Bronco release Date.

Shaq gets 'misty eyed' during 25th anniversary celebration for 3A state title at San Antonio Cole
So why is Shaquille O'Neal crying?
Or at least acting like it? (As we know from his on-screen career, the big guy has trouble swaying an audience.)
It's not because he remembered his performance in Kazaam, but as part of a warm honor given to him and his 1989 San Antonio Cole teammates celebrating the 25th anniversary of their class 3A championship title, in which Cole capped off a 68-1 run behind O'Neill from 1987-89.
Shaq would go on to be a star at LSU and have a 19 season NBA career, most notably with the Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat.

Preferably not live plucked sourced down. Anyways, i did do a search here already and it seems like a lot of the places people mentioned for buying down are no longer around, or they aren't selling it currently. I'm not interested in thru hiker because of price and quality--i actually want a lesser quality, with some feathers for my purpose. I'm looking to get about a half a pound or so, and looking to spend less than 60 dollars. The lowest fill grade i would use would be 650 and highest 750. Do the cheaper ebay pillows tend to be a scam, misleading, or not? Thank you for any suggestions or help.
Just got an email and ordered from Feathered Friends and ordered 8 oz of 700 fill down for 64 plus shipping, plus 11 shipping. A bit more than I wanted to spend, but doesn't seem to be a lot of choices out there.
FYI,Wilderness Logics sells 850fp by the oz, 1/2oz, and now by the pound. Pretty reasonable but not in the price range of your original post. If you would have gone with them instead of Feathered Friends you could have gotten 850fp instead of 700 and it would have cost less.
Hi Eric, I canceled the order anyways before i saw your post because i realized i could get a quilt from Costco which has like 21 oz of 650 fill for 79 dollars. This leaves me with extra down to work with, and i'm sure some other project will come up. I don't want higher quality down, like 850 fp because i want some feathers in there for my purpose--i'm mixing it with Angora Rabbit fur/fiber, and i suspect having some feathers will help to keep the Angora rabbit fur lofted and separated some. I'm guessing that the down to feather ratio of of the Costco quilt is probably like 80/20 or so. Originally, i was going to mix 1lb of Angora rabbit fiber to half a pound Goose Down/feather combo, but now i think i may split it more evenly--like .75 lb of Angora Rabbit fur and .75 lb of Goose down/feather combo. Thank you for the tip
