Mid-day Extra: MTV's Choose or Lose gets lost
In 2008, presidential hopeful U.S. Sen. Barack Obama spoke with MTV news correspondent Sway Calloway during an MTV's 'Choose Or Lose' taping.
It seems after 20 years of being the official slogan of MTV during election seasons, "choose or Lose" is about to.. Well, get lost.
MTV has announced that for the coming election, the coverage will be called "Power of 12."
In today's Mid-day Extra, we ask: Will MTV's re-branding help bring out the youth voters this time around?
For insight into the elusive youth voter market, we went to Peter Ubertaccio, professor of political science at Stonehill College.
He says that while the campaign has had at least some effect on youth voting turnouts since it first began in 1992, the economic downturn has given more weight to the phrase. In 2008, voters went out and "chose," but they still don't feel like they have won.

Any doubt about Nate Wozniak's height was settled when Minnesota's 6-foot-9 redshirt freshman offensive tackle Jonah Pirsig had to look up at him -- literally -- on a recruiting visit last week.
That's right, the Gophers' newest 2013 commitment is a 6-10, 255-pound tight end from Center Grove High School in Indiana. He could be the tallest player in college football when he joins coach Jerry Kill's team next season. But he doesn't want to be moved to offensive line, which is partly why he chose Minnesota on Thursday, Jan. 31.
"He said, 'If there's anybody recruiting me to play offensive line, coach, make sure we don't talk to them anymore,' " Center Grove football coach Eric Moore said. "He said, 'I'm going to play tight end in college if I have to go to Ball State.' "
But Wozniak didn't have to settle for a non-BCS school.
The Gophers, along with Miami (Fla.) and Purdue, recruited him hard as a tight end. He favored the Hurricanes, but they ended up landing two tight ends. So Kill's 2013 class, which he will introduce on signing day Wednesday, could be getting a steal.
"He was very high on Miami for so long it was somewhat surprising to see him at Minnesota," ESPN recruiting analyst Jared Shanker said. "My guess was the ship might have sailed. Miami is in line to close pretty well come signing day. (He's) definitely an interesting prospect, considering his height."
Wozniak had 20 catches for 331 yards and five touchdowns last season.
"He can definitely catch balls, but he's also a tight end who can get down into a stance," Moore said. "When you see him, he doesn't look like an 18-year-old kid. He's very muscular. He looks bigger than the (basketball) centers in the Big Ten. He's also a good-flexibility kid. He's the total package."

Novey visited the Unterberg Poetry Center on Monday, October 10th, for our US/Chinese Poetry Exchange. Her piece begins below. As an added bonus, visit Xi Chuan's website for the text of Forrest Gander's introduction.
John Felsteiner says that translation is like an opened window: it lets some fresh air in and some stale air get out. The new anthology of contemporary Chinese poetry from Copper Canyon, Push Open the Window, does just that. And the fresh air it brings to American poetry is exhilarating. At the 92nd Street Y's event on October 10th to celebrate the anthology, audience members got to hear the poetry being written in China now, in Chinese, by two of China's premier living poets, Xi Chuan and Zhou Zan.
Forrest Gander opened the event by reading from his superb introduction to the anthology. He offered a fascinating quote from Ha Jin, who said that if he were still writing in Chinese he would write poetry now because—and this is the line I underlined—poetry is more promising. It can do more for the language. Implicit in Gander's inclusion of this quote was the promise of what that poetry can do not just for the language in which it was written but for the languages it enters via translation—in the English versions we would hear that evening.
As Zhou Zan began to read her poem "Jay" in the original Chinese, I could hear the driving rhythm in her lines, the conviction in her voice, and Marilyn Chin did an excellent job delivering that same rhythm and conviction as she read from somebody's translation. The translators' names weren't on the program or announced before the translations were read, an omission that was perhaps just as well since at one point Li-Young Lee looked up at the audience and asked if any of the translators were present. When no one responded he told the audience he thought the translation he was about to read didn't capture any of the nuance or depth in Zhou Zan's poem.
After the event, I approached Li-Young Lee and asked him, given that his knowledge of Chinese was good enough to grasp the nuances and depth of Zhou Zan's poem in a way the translator had failed to do, if he might re-translate her work. He said he had too many commitments as a writer at the moment to do that, but that he has worked on some translations of Chinese poetry. It will certainly be interesting to see those translations when he publishes them.
My favorite poem of the evening was the last one by Xi Chuan, ad whose title would be perfect for a book about the history of poetry translation: "On False Causality and True Chance in a Dark Room."
Idra Novey is author of The Next Country and Exit, Civilian; chosen by Patricia Smith for the 2011 National Poetry Series. Her translations include Viscount Lascano Tegui's novel On Elegance While Sleeping; shortlisted for the 2010 Best Translated Book Award, and collections of poems by Manoel de Barros and Paulo Henriques Britto.
Next up in the Main Reading Series: Four Irish Poets: Eilean Ni Chuilleanain, Leontia Flynn, Rita Ann Higgins and Caitriona O'Reilly (Oct 31); Nuruddin Farah and Ngugi wa Thiong'o (Nov 3); Jeffrey Eugenides and Jennifer Egan (Nov 14); Sapphire and Sherman Alexie (Nov 21)

Willow (Salix spp.) weed management guide
Weeds of National Significance
Department of the Environment and Heritage and the CRC for Australian Weed Management, 2003
PDF file
About the guide
Most species of willow are Weeds of National Significance. They are among the worst weeds in Australia because of their invasiveness, potential for spread, and economic and environmental impacts. They have invaded riverbanks and wetlands in temperate Australia, occupying thousands of kilometres of streams and numerous wetland areas.
Unlike most other vegetation, willows spread their roots into the bed of a watercourse, slowing the flow of water and reducing aeration. They form thickets which divert water outside the main watercourse or channel, causing flooding and erosion where the creek banks are vulnerable. Willow leaves create a flush of organic matter when they drop in autumn, reducing water quality and available oxygen, and directly threatening aquatic plants and animals. This, together with the amount of water willows use, damages stream health.
The replacement of native vegetation (eg river red gums) by willows reduces habitat (eg nesting hollows, snags) for both land and aquatic animals.
Millions of dollars are spent each year on willow control in southeastern Australia using chemical and/or mechanical techniques. In Victoria alone, the cost of willow management is about $2 million annually.
Weeping willow S. babylonica, and two hybrid species of pussy willow S. x calodendron and S. x reichardtii, are not Weeds of National Significance. Nevertheless, these species are of concern because they can hybridise with other species that would otherwise not produce seeds, so they should not be planted near other willows.
This management guide was prepared in 2003. The state and territory contacts in this document may be out of date.
For advice on weed control in your state or territory see the primary contacts on the State and territory weed management arrangements page.

The annual 311 Day hit the Mandalay Bay Arena in Las Vegas this year for 311's festive celebration and Zildjian was there to join in on the fun. Held on March 11, the concert is a meeting ground for 311 fans worldwide that join together each year for the band's self-thrown party. This year's epic event included a fan party at The Jet in the Mirage Hotel and Casino filled with over a thousand fans.
The following night, Chad Sexton, equipped with his amazing kit filled with over 15 Zildjian cymbals, hit the stage with the band. Hit after hit was played over the course of a 5 hour show that included an 8 minute drum solo, tons of guitar solos, an amazing light show and an unbelievable hula hoop performance. What would a Vegas show be without some incredible entertainment?
This 311 Day will surely go down in the history books.

|Detection of endogenous k-RAS mRNA in living cells at a single base resolution by a PNA molecular beacon.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22289057 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Detection of mRNA alterations is a promising approach for identifying biomarkers as means of differentiating benign from malignant lesions. By choosing the K-ras oncogene as a target gene, two types of molecular beacons (MBs) based on either phosphothioated DNA (PS-DNA-MB) or peptide nucleic acid (TO-PNA-MB, where TO = thiazole orange) were synthesized and compared in vitro and in-vivo. Their specificity was examined in wild-type K-Ras (HT29) or codon 12 point mutations (Panc-1, SW480) cells. Incubation of both beacons with total RNA extracted from the Panc-1 cell line (fully complement sequence) showed a fluorescent signal for both beacons. Major differences were observed, however, for single mismatch mRNA transcripts in cell lines HT29 and SW480. PS-DNA-MB weakly discriminated such single mismatches in comparison to TO-PNA-MB that was profoundly more sensitive. Cell transfection of TO-PNA-MB with the aid of PEI resulted in fluorescence in cells expressing the fully complementary RNA transcript (Panc-1) but undetectable fluorescence in cells expressing the k-RAS mRNA that has a single mismatch to the designed TO-PNA-MB (HT29). A weaker fluorescent signal was also detected in SW480 cells; however, these cells express approximately one fifth of the target mRNA of the designed TO-PNA-MB. In contrast, PS-DNA-MB showed no fluorescence in all cell lines tested post PEI transfection. Based on the fast hybridization kinetics and on the single mismatch discrimination found for TO-PNA-MB we believe that such molecular beacons are promising for in-vivo real-time imaging of endogenous mRNA with single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) resolution.

Contrary to the saying,"Birds of a feather flock together" it's actually birds of every kind who flock together around birdfeeders in winter when food is scarce.
As far as I can see, the area around the feeders seems to be neutral territory where differences are put aside and the bounty is shared. I see very little jostling and no quarreling.
Whether skies are heavy with the threat of snow or soft grey marbled in blue through which the pale sunlight peaks, there are always birds to be seen flitting around the feeders waiting their turn. ...

Any restaurant that recommends reservations in February is bound to be good, and that certainly applies to The Oyster Company Raw Bar and Grille in Dennisport.
We haven't given it a try before because the menu prices are a little steep for us. But for the off-season, the restaurant is offering a three-course prix fixe menu for $28, which is about the average price of the entrees there. As a bonus, we arrived before 6:30 p.m., so we could take advantage of their "$1.25 oyster raw deal" that is available every day.
The dining room was lively when we were seated at a surprisingly private table against the wall. Blue twinkle lights were wrapped around the perimeter of the room, giving it a festive feel. They also matched the blue linen tablecloths topped with white butcher paper. Other charming d�cor accents included small table lamps with bases covered with oyster shells.
We started with a dozen oysters ($15) and weren't sorry we did. The Oyster Company has its own oyster grant at Quivet Neck and the oysters we sampled were plump and briny — both signs they were very fresh. They were the kind of oysters you sigh over, especially when paired with a specialty martini, such as the hot and dirty ($10) or ginger martini ($9).
For an appetizer, I chose the wedge salad, which offered a lovely contrast of warm and cool flavors. The wedge of crisp Iceberg was drizzled with homemade blue cheese dressing and topped with a sprinkle of chopped tomatoes, bacon bits and house-made onion rings. The onion rings were a nice touch that really jazzed up the salad.
My husband ordered the pan-fried homemade codfish cake, which was crispy on the outside and chock full of discernable pieces of cod on the inside. It came topped with a lemon-butter sauce. The plate itself was arranged beautifully, with a little salad of baby spinach and arugula on the side, roasted red peppers draped over the fish cake and a corn salsa with bits of onion and red and green bell peppers below.
We probably could have stopped there and been completely satisfied, but more food was on the way, including two huge dinner entrees. The saut�ed fresh shellfish "Shanghai" consisted of a giant bowl of linguini tossed with a generous amount of beurre blanc, flavored with ginger, garlic and soy sauce. The shellfish was arranged in a pretty fan on top of the pasta and included four oysters, four littlenecks and a dozen mussels. A head of baby bok choy and julienned carrots and red bell peppers rounded out the flavor profile with a fresh kick.
The two saut�ed medallions of beef tenderloin were tender and cooked to order. The topping of roasted garlic demi-glace added tons of flavor and the roasted fingerling potatoes were equally well seasoned with butter, rosemary, salt and pepper. Perfectly cooked asparagus completed the meal.
Despite the fact that both entrees were fabulous, we knew we still had dessert coming, so we asked for doggie bags and brought home decent-sized portions of our meals. It is no exaggeration to say the portions are generous to the point of almost overwhelming at The Oyster Company, making my husband grouse that prix-fixe dinners almost force you to overeat.
No amount of grumbling occurred when we were presented with our desserts, which were both artfully drizzled with caramel sauce. The maple walnut pecan pie with vanilla ice cream was rich and delicious, and the walnuts added a welcome new flavor to an old favorite. The Kahlua espresso cr�me brulee was sublime. It was both light and bursting with flavor. Two cups of the very good house coffee ($2.50 each) completed our meal.
There was not a single bad note to our meal. The food was fresh and flavorful and the atmosphere was festive. Despite how busy the restaurant was, service was great because the wait staff all looked out for each other's tables, serving food and refilling water in an effort of teamwork that is commendable. The hostess also checked in at every table to make sure all diners were happy. We certainly were, and we would definitely go back.

Heavenly tweets beat Bieber feverComment on this story
Vatican City - Pope Benedict, white-haired, 85, and a neophyte to social media site Twitter, has beaten out 18-year old heartthrob Justin Bieber to set a percentage record for re-tweeting by his followers, the Vatican said on Thursday.
The Vatican newspaper said that as of noon Italian time on Thursday the pope had 2.1 million followers on Twitter, eight days after his first tweet was sent.
While Canadian singer-songwriter Bieber has roughly 15 times as many followers - 31.7 million - the Vatican newspaper said Benedict had beaten Bieber on re-tweets.
It said about 50 percent of the pope's followers had re-tweeted his first tweet on Dec. 12 while only 0.7 percent of Bieber's followers had re-tweeted one of the singer's most popular tweets on September 26, when he commented on the death by cancer of a six-year-old fan.
The Vatican said this was part of a wider trend in which people were looking for more spiritual content.
The pope already tweets in English, German, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish and Arabic. The newspaper said he will start tweeting in Latin and Chinese soon. - Reuters

Among the cytokines that regulate B-cell homeostasis are the TNF-like ligands B-lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS; also B-cell activation factor) and a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL). BLyS and APRIL share two receptors; that is, B-cell maturation antigen and transmembrane activator and CAML interactor. Therapeutic approaches using biologics are limited for treatment of lupus patients. One previously approved drug is belimumab, which antagonizes the B-cell stimulator BLyS. Atacicept, another biologic inhibiting BLyS and APRIL, was terminated for serious adverse events - raising the question of whether APRIL should be neutralized in autoimmune diseases.

By Jennifer Merin
WeNews film critic
Monday, July 5, 2010
July movie releases include a documentary about Hugh Hefner and "The Girl Who Played With Fire." But ahead of all other viewing options, Jennifer Merin says don't miss the re-release of Sally Potter's "Orlando," back in high-def.
(WOMENSENEWS)--July's new movies include several superb narrative features and documentaries directed by women. But before we look at those, let's praise Sally Berger, a curator at New York City's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), for putting together a remarkable retrospective (July 7 to 24) of the films and videos of Sally Potter, the brilliant British feminist moviemaker. Now in her 60s, Potter has been making films since she was 16.
As a filmmaker, Potter invites you to experience profound emotional insights and transports you to uncharted realms of imagination and intellect. Her films aren't easy escapes and she often had mixed reviews, but as director, writer, actress, dancer, choreographer and composer, Potter is a rare entity: the complete cinematic artist.
The retrospective starts with a digitally re-mastered, high-definition version of "Orlando" (1992), one of Potter's best known films. Based on Virginia Woolfe's novel of the same title (and based on the life of Vita Sackville-West), "Orlando" stars Tilda Swinton as the poet who, ordered by Queen Elizabeth to remain young forever, lives for over four centuries; first as a man, and then as a women. The film is beautiful and evocative. You don't have to be in New York or at the MoMA to see it. The new version will be released on July 23 in select theaters nationwide.
But if you can get to the museum, the retrospective includes 14 films that reflect the range of Potter's repertoire, including "Gold Diggers" (1983), "The Tango Lesson (1997) and "Rage" (2009), plus a filmed version of the production of Bizet's "Carmen" (2007) that Potter directed for the English National Opera. It also includes five experimental shorts (1969-1986) presented as a single program and "I Am an Ox, I Am a Horse, I Am a Man, I Am a Woman: Women in Russian Cinema" (1990), a 60-minute documentary about women in Russian cinema.
There's no sighting of Potter, however, in filmmaker Angela Ismailos' documentary, "Great Directors," opening in New York and Los Angeles on July 9. The film recognizes and offers insight into the creative processes of Catherine Breillat, Liliana Cavani and Agnes Varda, as well as Bernardo Bertolucci, Stephen Frears, Todd Haynes, Richard Linklater, Ken Loach, David Lynch and John Sayles.
Several other documentaries are also good enough to lure you into theaters in July.
"Restrepo," opening July 2 in limited release, is one of this year's most important films. Made by journalists Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington, who were embedded with a platoon of U.S. soldiers deployed to Afghanistan, the documentary is a jarring look at the stress, adrenalin and shock of actual combat. It shows the devastating experiences
suffered by U.S. troops--and allows you to draw conclusions about the consequences to their wives and families back home. The film is comparable to Kathryn Bigelow's Oscar-winning "The Hurt Locker"--but it's real life.
Another doc, "Countdown to Zero," opening in limited release on July 23, is Lucy Walker's alarming report on the history of nuclear proliferation and the current status of nuclear weapons. Using archival footage and commentaries by statesmen--Carter, Gorbachev, Musharraf and Blair--and expert commentators--notably Valerie Plame Wilson, the CIA agent whose cover was blown by Robert Novak, the late news columnist--the film shows how close we are to potential disaster due to failed diplomacy, accidents or terrorist acts.

Lindsay Lohan has got an unlikely supporter in the form of The Great Gatsby director Baz Luhrmann, who has revealed he is praying for the troubled star.
LiLo has been hitting the headlines for her drama-filled rehab stint whilst Baz is the man of the moment after his latest film, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, opened in cinemas this month.
The 50-year-old Australian movie maker has revealed that he and Lindsay actually go way back: ''I have known Lindsay since she was very young. She's a talented girl. I pray that she can bring herself back to the place where she came from because she is a talented actress. I feel for her, I really do," he told Aussie talk show Dirty Laundry Live.

Perhaps we could be seeing Linds in Baz's next film? The star will have an uphill struggle to get her career back on track though, she's currently in the middle of her court ordered rehab stint, which will be followed by 30 days of community service as part of her probation.
Lindsay isn't the only tabloid favourite Baz has been gushing over though, with the acclaimed movie maker also showing his support for Kim Kardashian:
''I met her the other night, about two weeks ago. I had dinner with her and Kanye at a friend's place. She's an extraordinarily elegant woman, pregnant. I was really struck by her grace," he revealed.

|Miami's Brandon Washington is one of two juniors participating in the NFLPA game. (US Presswire)
CARSON, Calif. -- The first practice of the week in pads was the most physical and most intense of the NFLPA All-Star workouts.
The action was best in "The Pit," a drill matching offensive and defensive linemen one-on-one.
Some of the biggest programs in the country are well represented on either line, but it was the small-school prospects who made the splashiest plays.
OLB Delano Johnson, Bowie State: The most physically imposing player on either roster, Johnson has a chiseled build and looks the part of an NFL athlete. Listed at outside linebacker, Johnson practiced primarily at that position but was also occasionally shuttled to defensive-line drills to try his hand at rushing the quarterback. He showed speed but at the request of coaches resorted to attacking blockers with explosive upper-body strength later in practice. A passionate player whose enthusiasm made him popular with teammates and coaches, Johnson is undeniably raw but his size, strength and speed will draw interest from 4-3 and 3-4 teams alike.
DT Chigbo Anunoby, Morehouse: Anunoby didn't stand out for much of Wednesday's practice. He struggled to pick up some of the techniques from the National team coaches. But as he took to the coaching, his explosive upper-body strength and surprising athleticism made him a tough draw for any interior offensive lineman. Anunoby was particularly impressive in late one-on-one drills, rocking interior linemen back onto their heels, drawing oohs and ahhs from his teammates, the coaching staff and a trio of scouts from the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League.

TE Andrew Szczerba, Penn State: Szczerba was forced to pull double duty Tuesday with Duke's Danny Parker, the second tight end on the American team's roster, not yet in uniform. He made difficult catches over the course of Tuesday's practice but with no one to compete against him he certainly had a great opportunity to help his cause. Szczerba was every bit as productive Wednesday even with Parker getting his share of snaps. A naturally large man with good overall musculature that helped him get off the line of scrimmage efficiently as well as help seal defenders off in the running game, Szczerba has been arguably the most consistent offensive player for either team over the first two practice sessions.
OG Brandon Washington, Miami (Fla.): Expected to be the first player drafted among NFLPA All-Star participants and one of two juniors here this week (with Boston College defensive end Max Holloway), Washington was asked to move inside to guard Wednesday. Washington was a first-team All-ACC left guard in 2010 before moving to left tackle this past season. He practiced exclusively at tackle on Tuesday, demonstrating the foot quickness, balance and physicality necessary to play outside. Washington was warned by his offensive line coach -- former Pro Bowl center Kevin Mawae -- that "he might have to get his head right on playing guard" for Wednesday's practice and he certainly did that, alternating between left and right guard throughout the day. Not surprisingly, Washington showed well, though if he'll be making the switch back inside in the NFL, he'll need to get better at blocking at the second level.
DE Wilson Youman, Oklahoma State: Like Bowie State's Johnson, Youman proved effective rushing the passer using a variety of techniques. His speed challenged tackles but it was the natural strength he demonstrated when rolling his hips into the blocker for effective bull rushes that was most impressive. The National coaching staff actually began asking Youman to demonstrate his technique to teammates as practice went on.
OG Trevor Olson, Northern Illinois: Olson is listed as a guard for the National team but proved the most effective pass blocker for the North team during drills, often lining up at left tackle. Quick off the snap and remaining square to the defender, Olson was a step ahead of his opponents, handling speed and power with equal efficiency. Blessed with long arms and good balance, Olson's future could be outside at tackle.
C Mike Caputo, Nebraska: The short, squatty Caputo likely lacks the size to be able to handle the mammoth interior defenders of the NFL. That didn't stop the former Cornhusker from turning heads Wednesday with his rugged play. Caputo has quick hands to grasp his opponent after snapping the ball and a powerful base that defenders couldn't bull rush through. His lack of height was typically beneficial Wednesday as he won the leverage battle and was able to push defenders off the ball. On one occasion, however, an equally short opponent -- Humboldt State's Andrew Iupati -- beat Caputo with an effective swim move. This play was the exception to the rule for Caputo, whose gritty play will endear him to offensive-line coaches.
DT Asa Chapman, Liberty: A short, thick interior run plugger, Chapman showed good power to knock offensive linemen back during scrimmaging Wednesday but is a marginal athlete, at best, whose poor stamina and limited quickness made him virtually helpless on plays outside of the tackle box. Chapman's best asset is his refrigerator-like frame. He's tough to move and has a thick, powerful base.
DE Vince Browne, Northwestern: Of the American team's defensive linemen, Browne demonstrated the quickest feet and best balance. Browne easily slid through and around the bags during drills and was one of the few American team defensive linemen to show the ability to slide laterally as well as turn and pursue down the line of scrimmage.
OLB Alex Hoffman-Ellis, Washington State: At just over 6 feet, Hoffman-Ellis isn't going to struggle to find a niche in the NFL. His lack of height likely kills any chance that 3-4 teams would be interested in him and while plenty of undersized weak-side linebackers have enjoyed success in the NFL, Hoffman-Ellis lacks the elite athleticism that has typically characterized these players. Due to good instincts, however, Hoffman-Ellis consistently was in the middle of the action Wednesday, using a combination of his short stature and impressive upper-body strength to either elude or quickly defeat blocks to be in position for the tackle. Though full-on tackles weren't allowed in practice, one could see Hoffman-Ellis fighting the urge to wrap up ballcarriers -- something he did quite well for the Cougars as a senior, leading the Pac-12 in solo tackles.

Ken Mischler, left, director of business services for the Manitowoc Public School District, discusses school lunch prices at Tuesday evening's Board of Education meeting. Participating in the meeting are, from left, board members Karen Rohrer, Catherine Shallue and Keith Shaw, board secretary Becky McLafferty, and board member Dave Nickels.
- Filed Under
School lunch and breakfast prices will increase again in 2013-14 for Manitowoc Public School District students unless the district receives a waiver from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.
The Board of Education voted on Tuesday evening to increase lunch prices by 10 cents and breakfast prices by 5 cents. The increases are required under the federal Healthy, Hungry-Free Kids Act of 2010, according to Ken Mischler, the school district's director of business services.
However, because the district saw a decrease in participation after last year's required price increase, ...

Labeling GMOs Didn't Go Down In Cali — But Here's Where It Might Happen
On the West Coast, the campaign gained a lot of initial support, but seemed to falter after a giant ad campaign by biotech company Monsanto, eventually being voted down last November. In New York, though, activists are gearing up to make it so with the GMO Free NY project, aiming to get two pieces of legislation — an Assembly bill and a Senate bill — approved by June. It should be noted that these changes, while they might set a precedent for further legislation in the future, won't actually change the legality of your favorite produce and processed foods. It simply requires that these foods be labeled as GMOs. Given what happened with Mayor Bloomberg's soda ban, we know New Yorkers won't take diet-related regulation lying down. You're all informed, you know what you want, and you're prepared to vote for (or against) it.
The GMO Free NY project cites lax federal regulations as one of the reasons labeling should be mandatory. And, even with the current regulations in place, the FDA can't control what happens once a product hits shelves — but you can, with the right information. Click on over to find out why it's worth thinking about, who's involved, and what to do to help.

The Burton Women's TWC (The White Collection) Crush Pant combines high-performance cold-weather protection with a slim, stylish look and a slightly lower rise than standard Burton snow pants. Burton treated the TWC Cursh pant with a DWR that blocks light rain and snow before it even gets to the waterproof breathable DryRide Durashell laminate, and a stretch taffeta lining adds warmth and a luxurious feel.The Crush pant provides bulk-free protection where it counts. The waterproof breathable DryRide Durashell membrane and fully taped seams handle powder and winter storms. If it gets too warm, you can dump heat in a hurry by popping open the mesh-lined inner thigh vents. The microfleece fly and waistband are soft to the touch so you won't get nasty hot spots if your skin rubs against your pants. Burton also built a jacket-to-pant interface into the pants so you can attach them to your Burton jacket to create a suit of snow-proof armor. Expandable boot gaiters slide over your boots to keep snow from finding its way in. The integrated waist adjustments allow you to customize your fit, and you can dial it in with the belt loops or just use them to accessorize. Burton also included reinforced hems with cuff elevators so you don't shred your pants walking through the parking lot at the end of the day.
- DryRide Durashell membrane (10K/10K), fully taped seams
- Slim fit
- Zippered, mesh-lined thigh vents
- Reinforced hems with cuff elevators
- Expandable boot gaiters

Not for muscular girls
- Familiarity:I returned this product before using it
- Fit:True to size
I'm 5' 10" and 142 lb.s and got a size M. I have muscular legs and butt, and a small waist, and was hoping that these pants would fit in all areas. But like most pants they were tight in the thighs and loose in the waist. They're also very low-rise, so if they don't fit your waist, they're going down like London Bridge if you bend over--not too good for snowboarding. The concept is stylish, though! If you're more straight through the hips and waist then they will probably be great.
I LOVE these pants!
It's tricky ordering online and was very skeptical but love these! I love the color (I ordered hesher), the fabric is GREAT, they are warm and tough and VERY stylish! My boyfriend loves them on me! I was worried they would fit too much like bunched up bell bottoms and be tight in the knees but w/your boots on they are the perfect length and fit me perfectly w/give where I need it! I am 120 and 5'7 and usually wear small but I ordered a medium. I wear a butt pad and a medium fit perfect and is still comfortable and stylish! If you're not wearing an awesome butt pad go w/your true size! I tried the pesto color too and it's beautiful but didn't match my duds so I returned it. I would give these pants a thumbs up for style, warmth and durability! It's a very happy purchase and I will be excited to wear them in upcoming seasons!
Hi, are these pants longer than other...
Hi, are these pants longer than other Burton pants? ( I think they are the White collection)
Wayne Christoffersen, Gearhead
You are correct, this is part of The White Collection, everything listed as TWC is going to be part of that collection. That means that they fit is a little more custom, skinnier and longer then their standard lines.

Holy Moses, wow and omigosh. I had the most amazing facial this week!!! The lovely people at Fern Skin Clinic treated me to an amazing experience. The 90 minute Alpha H facial.
I've tried Alpha H Liquid Gold before. Sure, it was an amazing product but now I feel like I need to start using more and more of their products. My skin looks amazing!!!! It feels divine and I swear it's taken years off. Everything looks lifted, firmer, smoother, glowier.
Let me tell you how it went down…
Cleanse and prep: Clear Skin Daily Face Wash. It was so fresh and invigorating!!
Exfoliate: Micro Cleanse. This is a mixture of fruit acids and micro beads. It was really lovely and the cucumber and mint infusion helped to keep my skin calm.
Mask: Professional Papaya and Pineapple Enzyme Exfoliating Mask. My face actually got wrapped in clingfilm for this part of the treatment!! It was a brilliant sensation. I could feel my skin being stimulated and doing all sorts of wondrous things!
After that, lovely Nicki spent time working on some extraction. I've never had an extraction before. It was fab! Nicki made sure it was completely painless, even when she got out the needle to work on my stubborn milia.
Post extraction I was then treated to the Azulene Mask with Bilberry. Wowwww!!!! It felt like a super thick layer of latex on my face and it got taken off in one solid piece! It's packed with Chamomile-derived Azulene, Vitamin C and Bilberry extract. It was perfect for my sensitive skin and really helped to minimise the redness from the extraction.
Massage: Age Delay Facial Oil. This felt amazing!!! Nicki clearly has a magic touch and the combination had me struggling to stay awake. I'm pretty sure I drifted off a couple of times despite my efforts to remain alert.
Finishing Touches: Age Delay Intensive Eye & Lip Treatment Cream and the brand new Daily Essential SPF 50 Moisturiser. Wow!!! I really have to get my hands on that moisturiser! It was so light and non greasy yet I felt happy and confident to let my face get a little sunshine on the walk back to the station! Woohoo!
You really MUST give this facial a try! Fern Skin Clinic is a short walk from Belsize Park tube. The 90 minute treatment costs £104 and is worth every penny to look and feel as good as I do right now! If you have a special occasion, a wedding or a birthday coming up it would be the perfect way to make sure you're looking your best. I am definitely going to get my hands on some Alpha H as well! My skin is just loving it!!

i've recently obtained a singer 401a that belonged to an elderly woman that had to be put in an assisted living facility. It sews a beautiful straight stitch, but no matter what selector setting I use, I can't get it to change... I get a straight stitch every time, I've even tried changing cams... It has the manual with it, I tried following the instructions but still come up with the same thing.
Since I know there are some experienced users in here, does that mean something internal to do with the switch selector is probably broken, or could I be doing something wrong?
Are the selector knobs turning smoothly? The inside knob pulls out and the outer knob pushes in.
These machines sometimes jam up if they're not oiled. Try oiling it with sewing machine oil or tri flow, not WD40 or 3 in 1. Give it a day or two and if it still isn't working, oil again. You could try applying some heat (a hairdryer is good) to the area.
I don't know this machine but if it has different needle postions like left, middle and right..on some machines I found that selectors would not work unless the machine is set in the center or middle needle postion.
I hope you get it figured out.
Sure it's a 401 and not a 403? Just checking.
I just got it today, I haven't oiled it yet, which was probably stupid since it probably hasn't been used in 15 years or so, I didn't sew on it too much, just testing it out for a few minutes, hopefully i didn't do any damage, but the selector knobs doesn't turn good at all, especially the one that selects the letters on the right side if your facing it, i have to turn the one on the left and wiggle it a lot before i can get the other one to move and vice versa, thanks for the advice i've got the manual and everything with it and it tells where to oil it so i'm going to take it apart and oil it tomorrow i hope i can get all the stitches working
it's not a 403, its a 401a
I've got a 411g and couldn't move the knobs at all when I first got it. It took about a week of oiling, heating and jiggling before I got any movement. Keep moving them without too much force, the oil will eventually work it's way through and free the mechanism up. Take the top off the machine so you can see where you need to oil, the recommended oiling spots won't give you enough in the right place to fix this.
Maybe try taking a blow dryer to the knob and warm it up a bit and see if it unsticks.
thank you all, i oiled it today with some singer sewing machine oil and i finally got it to do some zig zag and stuff, but it only does the patterns if i adjust the knob on the right up towards "fine" ... if i set it down to "7" at the bottom is only does straight stitches no matter what i have the selector settings on, ... misschris, does yours do this as well, or will it do the patterns when it's adjusted as low as it will go on 7?
If the machine has been sitting unused I recommend taking it in to have it "Professionally cleaned internally"
It definately sounds all gunked up and that has to go SOMEWHERE and you dont want to run it like that anyway, thats to hard on the brushes on the motor.
Once you have it cleaned/serviced you will be able to keep it oiled and running smooth and will have only invested a small amount for a lifetime machine!!! It is well worth it and very cheap really!!! Hope this helps!
I agree with BigSis that your 401a needs a good cleaning -- but let me add that you can do it yourself pretty easily. I would not consider myself very mechanical, and I got a semi-frozen, none-too-clean 401a purring and gleaming. Very rewarding!
One of the great things about the mechanical Singers is that you really can fix them yourself and maintain them pretty easily. These are machines that I don't mind lending or sharing, whereas I am the world's most selfish person when it comes to my Pfaff 2038.
If you have even the tiniest interest, check out the Vintage Singers group on Yahoo. You will find very complete information in the archives, and if you need any help, you will find the real experts.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) _ A Geary County Sheriff's corporal helped deliver a baby after checking on a truck parked on the side of Interstate-70.
Mark Maschmeir Thursday saw the vehicle parked on the highway with its hazard lights on. He then found a woman about to give birth. Maschmeir and another deputy grabbed gloves and helped deliver the baby after calling for an ambulance.
Maschmeir's name was listed on the birth certificate as the delivery attendant. The mother also named the boy Mark.
The mother is from Manhattan but asked not to be identified.
Maschmeir normally makes drug busts on I-70.
