W.Va. orchestra takes flight with Cirque
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Orchestral performances don't take flight like "Cirque de la Symphonie," the West Virginia Symphony's pops concert at the Clay Center, did Friday evening.
Usually, it is a soaring violin solo that draws that observation from a critic.
Concertmaster Amelia Chan did have one of those -- a beautifully nuanced playing of the stratospheric ending of Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherazade."
The real flight, though, was in the dazzling aerial performances of Christine Van Loo and Alexander Streltsov. Van Loo began with lithe, powerful work on a large ring hanging from a cable, floating and spinning above the stage to the "Bacchanale" from Saint-Saens' "Samson and Delilah."
The orchestra, led with zest by guest conductor Stuart Chafetz, played sympathetically, woodwinds spinning lines to embrace Van Loo while timpani and horns blazed through the final throbbing dance.
She and Streltsov showed grace, athleticism and artistry in the waltz from "Swan Lake," by Tchaikovsky. They each entwined arms and legs in a piece of red fabric that hung from that same cable.
The cable was raised and lowered as needed, but the performers could spin up and down the fabric, as well, to do their routine.
Juggler Vladimir Tsarkov gave comic relief along with eye-opening tricks with rings, to Bizet's "Danse Boheme," from "Carmen," and pins, to "Sabre Dance," from Khachaturian's "Gayane" (with the orchestra in fine form).
Elena Tsarkova seemed to float atop a pair of stools as she did a routine to the waltz from Khachaturian's "Masquerade."
After the intermission, she and Tsarkov drew Chafetz away from the orchestra during the "Dance of the Swans" from "Swan Lake" to help with a rope trick. I won't give any of it away.
Streltsov did some nifty twirling with a square frame to the "Torreadors," from "Carmen," which seemed basic enough, but it became impressive when he traded that for a framed cube and upped the complexity.
The orchestra was in top form, opening with Dvorak's "Carnival Overture." Chafetz went for brilliance of tone and some harder surfaces to the sound.
Chabrier's "Espana" had lively outbursts from the trombones and trumpets and vibrant woodwind playing. Music from John Williams' score to "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was robust and colorful.
The Clay Center concert repeats at 8 p.m. Saturday. Orchestra management reported that tickets are still available but are selling fast.

Baylor University is currently the largest private Baptist university in the country. Established in 1845 in Waco, Texas, this research facility ranks high as a college in engineering and business. Baylor competes in the highly competitive Big 12 Conference, doing so in the Big 12 South. Some notable alumni that have graduated from this fine institution include Olympic gold medalist Michael Johnson, college football coach Hayden Fry and country music legend Willie Nelson.
The Bears may be a private university, but still make a point of being a competitive force in the Big 12. Take in a Bears football game at Floyd Casey Stadium, or if you are visiting during the winter, be sure to visit the Ferrell Center for all Baylor University basketball action.

Live shows? Yes, those still happen. And no one puts on a show like Courtney Love. No one.
The Warsaw in Greenpoint is a venue known for punk bands and pierogies. That's part of why on Wednesday, June 26th, Love's intimate performance was so unforgettable. The rock star can sell out much larger venues, but prefers the closeness of a Brooklyn bar because she likes to "establish a rapport." Even superfans don't know what to expect when they buy tickets to see infamously unpredictable Courtney Love (or is it Hole this time?), but judging from the crowd's response, no one left unsatisfied. Or at least, everyone, from the old fans to the new, was impressed. As one fan, who hadn't seen Hole since the early nineties said, "I came because I expected her to be a mess. I was disappointed. She looked and sounded great."
Backstage, guests vocally enthusiastic about the show's success including Richard Phillips, Peaches, and David Blaine, who performed card tricks for us (!). Fans paid their respect to the queen herself, who had changed from a shimmering jumpsuit into a black sequined dress. Neither outfit included shoes. Starred, who opened and will tour with Love and her band this summer, received a warm welcome from the most avid Hole fans, which is a feat in itself. Lead singer Liza Thorn looked beautiful in a netted gown, or as she described it "a piece of fabric."
Shows all over North America are selling out fast and in case you still don't know this, you need to see this show. Cancel your other plans, get a ticket now, sneak in if you have to, travel to another city to live through this.

The manner in which you responded shows marked regard for your customer. I always tell my daughters that in many ways, we all "vote with our wallets", in choosing where to spend your money and the messages we send with who we choose to do business with matters. It's something that I feel like is an often overlooked aspect of e-commerce. Too many times price wins and little else matters. While price matters, respect and honor for your customers matters as well. I feel like you have done a great job of answering my questions and offering alternatives. Thank you for that. Those actions speak to regard for the customer more than any words could."

There are plenty of questions/answers about what an architect does, but what should someone in an Architect role NOT do? What are the boundaries/limits to maintain to be an effective Architect?
I'm thinking here of Architect vs Developer and Architect vs Project Manager
For example, I'm finding myself in a role where my title is Architect but I am also the coding/development lead and project manager on multiple small enterprise projects. I'm struggling with all the task switching and now I want to limit task switching. Trying to wear every hat just isn't working.
What tasks should an Architect not do at all?
What tasks should an Architect limit? I do think an Architect needs to keep coding, but how to define an appropriate limit for coding work?

Prime Minister, Mizengo Pinda said yesterday that the government would work on the issues related to massive corruption, embezzlement of funds, accountability, raised by members of Parliament.
Adjourning the National Assembly session in Dodoma, the Premier pledged government commitment to work on the MPs' suggestions and recommendations on the respective issues, which have drawn public attention in the last two weeks.
"We heard MPs' concerns…the government has received their views and advice…we will work on them," said Pinda.
He said the government would closely follow-up implementation of the recommendations in the various reports of parliamentary committees.
Pinda assured MPs that the government would take appropriate actions to enhance governance and accountability in the public domain.
In this respect, he said, the government would make sure that government executives — at different levels — from central, council, down to grass-root levels, including executive agencies, execute their duties diligently and observe ethics.
He praised the work done by parliamentary committees in uncovering problems in the government operations and recommending remedial measures, saying the system helped to enhance "checks and balance" in the operations of the three pillars of the state the Parliament, Executive and Judiciary.
According to the premier, MPs focused on key issues accountability, governance, misuse of public funds, embezzlement of public resources, in central and local governments, and state executives.
He saluted MPs for transparency and openness during the discussions on reports related to government misdeeds presented in the Parliament.
MPs recommendations, according to Pinda, focused on strengthening management of government organs — ministries, executive agencies, public organisations, regional and local government authorities; instilling controls in public expenditures, setting effective mechanisms to stamp out corruption and misappropriation of public resources.
The Prime Minister's speech touched on the constitution review process, social security funds, and examination results for Standard Seven and Form Four for last year.
On Constitution Review the PM called upon wananchi to cooperate with the Commission to make the process successful.
"The aim of the government is to ensure that all Tanzanians participate fully without any discrimination in the entire process of writing new constitution," the Primer said.
Pinda further called upon the public to use the social security funds effectively because they are an important catalyst for poverty reduction and economic growth.
"We should work with social security fund authorities to educate wananchi on the importance of becoming members for their own benefits," Pinda said.
On the education sector he said there were still a number of challenges specifically on infrastructure and the quality of education in general.
He however said that the government has been taking steps to ensure that the quality of education in the country improved.
Pinda cited the performance in science subjects saying that in 2011 the passmark was 61.3 percent compared to 56.1 percent in 2010.
The results illustrate the government commitment on the steps it has taken in improving education sector.
He further reminded the public that August 26 this year will be a day for counting the national population, calling on members of parliament to sensitize people on the importance of the exercise.

Well-Behaved PETS are VERY WELCOMED. They are members of the family too. While this is most often dogs, we also welcome cats and also from time to time some of the kid's special pets in their travel cages too.
Pet charge: $10 per day per pet.Maximum of 2 pets per cabin is our standard policy.
TOWELS FOR A WET PET AND OLD BEDCOVERS to protect the white heirloom bed covers, are readily available if you need any. We are happy to supply them. If we know you use them from year to year, we attempt to have them ready for you. But sometimes, in the rush of the season, we do forget, so just ask the office or the housekeepers.
**Dear Teal Lake Guest... please send us pictures of your 4-legged friends vacation at Teal Lake. We seem to only have pictures of Labs, and would like to start an album of all shapes, sizes, types (cats too) who come to Teal Lake. Click to view our NEW Photo Album of 4 legged visitors to Teal Lake!
HOUSEKEEPING: We ask that you make arrangements with the office or directly with the housekeepers for an arranged time. Even the friendliest pets can get territorial when away from home, and have the obligation to defend their new home, so we prefer to know when you will be in, or when they will be caged.
PICKUP of #2 is now common practice in most cities and urban environments, and we ask that this practice continue around the main buildings, in the center of the resort, and around cabins. However, there are major walking paths just across the highway into the forest where your pet is welcome to help fertilize the forest when out for a walk.
LEASH is preferable around the Main Lodge. Even the best-trained pets react when confronted with our resident animals if there is a territorial question. Also, we have no control over how both visiting pets and visiting children will interface with each other. Please keep them leashed near others, and especially at the center of the resort.SWIMMING: yes, of course they can! In the lake, at any time. And they will probably be joined by the resort dogs in chasing sticks. However, a Wisconsin state law does prohibit any and all animals within the fence at the swimming pool, no matter how small. So, please help us tow the line of the law on this.CAGES are not required to be in the cabins. However, we do appreciate when people do use them. Our own dogs are familiar with the fact that the cage never disappears and is never disassembled in our home, in case we need it.RESORT DOGS: There are a few dogs that live on the resort who help with guest entertainment. Please do not feed our dogs, at least not much! Some people bring them dog biscuits and other treats, but they do better when they are on regular and routine feedings. Sometimes there is no control, but a bit of bacon off your breakfast plate is better than a sweet roll, and a dog biscuit from the cookie jar in the office is better than either! RESORT DOGS SLEEP AT HOME! It is very important that our dogs come back to home base (their owners would miss them!) so if a dog is in your cabin, please limit it to HALF AN HOUR! We have found through the years that this is a satisfying time for the kids to have a pet in their cabin, and also a satisfying visiting time for the dog. We have reports that they seem to get up and go to the door as if they had a watch! Please do not keep them in longer, and please be sure they come home by CURFEW TIME, 10 P.M.!

Birth Control Health Center
Comparing Birth Control Pill Types
Are you taking, or considering taking, a birth control pill? Nearly 12 million U.S. women do. And though you may simply call it "the pill," there are many different types of birth control pills.
Each type of pill has pros and cons. But first, make sure that this form of contraception is right for you.
Here's what to consider.
2 Questions to Ask Yourself First
- Will you still use a condom to protect against STDs? Male condoms offer the best protection against STDs. With all other methods of contraception, you should also use a condom.
- How likely are you to forget pills now and then? The answer matters, because it affects how well the pill works. "You should swallow a pill at the same time every day, whether or not you have sex," the FDA's web site states.
When taken correctly, the pill is highly effective at preventing pregnancy. But that phrase "when taken correctly" is key.
About 8% of women who take the pill become pregnant unintentionally each year. In most of those cases, the women forgot to take pills. Yet when used perfectly -- every day at the same time of day -- only 1 in 100 women have an unintended pregnancy during the first year of using the pill.
So yes, the pill works. But it's not ideal for women wanting a contraception method that they don't need to think about.
"It's a very effective method for women who remember to take their pill each and every day at around the same," says Elizabeth Micks, MD, an instructor and fellow in family planning at Oregon Health and Science University.
Birth control methods that don't require daily action on the woman's part, such as intrauterine devices (IUD) and contraceptive implants, have significantly lower failure rates.
If you've answered those questions and decided that you want birth control pills as your form of contraception, here are the options.
Types of Pills
There are two main types of birth control pills: combination pills and progestin-only pills. Most pills are available in both a 21-day or a 28-day pack. They are often classified on the amount of estrogen and/or the amount and type of progestin.

Think about:
- What types of books will your club focus on?
- How will books be selected?
- Who will lead the group? Will this duty rotate? How often?
- Where, when, and how often will the group meet?
- Number of members - start with a manageable number (8-12).

Bought this football as a gift, made a hat to match, and bought some other things to match the light pink colour in the picture. when i received it, it came as a bright, hot pink, not anything close to the picture. it seems like a good ball for kids just to toss back and forth, not for playing a game or practicing.

The government has hailed Singida Urban lawmaker Mohammed Dewji for his efforts to build ward secondary schools in his constituency.
The praise was given yesterday by Education and Vocational Training deputy minister Philipo Mulugo when answering a supplementary question by Diana Chilolo (Special Seats- CCM), who had urged the government to chip in and supplement Dewji's efforts by supplying the schools the MP built with laboratory equipment and science teachers.
In appreciation of Dewji's initiative, Mulugo said, the government would equip all the laboratories at the schools and give them enough teachers.
"The government, in addition, has decided to construct two model secondary schools in Singida Urban constituency. It will also complete some of the schools which the legislator has initiated," the minister said.
In the basic question, Dewji had wanted to know about government plans to supply ward secondary schools in his constituency with laboratory equipment and books.
"The residents have responded positively to CCM's policy to construct ward secondary schools, but the schools lack libraries and laboratory equipment," he said.
The minister said the government was determined to assist in the completion of ward secondary schools in the country, adding that in the period from 2005 to 2009 it had issued subsidies for the construction of 311 laboratories and 57 libraries countrywide.
"In the financial year 2010/2011 a total of 264 schools countrywide would be completed, including construction of their laboratories and libraries," Mulugo said.

Anniversary Visit to Skamania Lodge in Washington
My husband Tom and I married in November 1996 and spent our short honeymoon at Skamania Lodge. We truly enjoyed a wonderful meal and our Fireside room after our drive to the Lodge. The following morning, I decided to surprise Tom by building a cozy fire. Unfortunately, I didn't open the damper, and Tom woke up to a room filled with smoke! We quickly opened the damper and aired out the room, and alerted the staff that we were not burning down the lodge. It is a funny memory, and I doubt I'll ever live it down. We're planning on returning to the Lodge to celebrate our 17th anniversary next month. I was glad to read that the Fireside rooms now have gas fireplaces....it's much more likely that we can enjoy a fire without pyrotechnics!

For the last month, two dozen Capital Preparatory Magnet High School students have gathered in a classroom at the Mark Twain House & Museum Center to discuss, dissect and debate the classic and controversial "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn."
There were some heated moments, the students told me when I visited Tuesday - especially when they discussed the use of that word, in the book and in their own lives.
But it was all part of a summer seminar which challenged students to "investigate the historical context of the book as well as Mark Twain's motivations for writing it."

Potty the Parrot
on ESB
|General information
|List of characters
Potty the Parrot is Patchy the Pirate's pet parrot. Potty is a crudely designed puppet with very obvious strings. He is very obnoxious, and normally annoys and talks back to Patchy. Potty was originally portrayed by SpongeBob SquarePants series creator Stephen Hillenburg until 2004. After Hillenburg's departure, crew member Paul Tibbitt was given the role in 2005. Potty is the nineteenth character of the series, behind Patchy the Pirate and the French Narrator.
Character concept
Potty is a marionette character of the series and the co-host of Patchy the Pirate, and appears in every episode that features him.
Rivalry with Patchy
Despite being labeled as Patchy's friend, Potty is a frequent pest to Patchy and is often an antagonist in his live-action segments, although they usually make up by the end of the episode.
In "Shanghaied," he shot Patchy out of a cannon. In "Ugh," Potty ruined Patchy's Cave Man Show by becoming a futuristic cyborg and bringing in a robot. At the end of the show, Potty gives Patchy a pet T-Rex as an "apology present". In "Friend or Foe?", Patchy and Potty get into a fight while working as fry cooks, temporarily ending their friendship, which makes Patchy upset. Patchy compares this to how Plankton and Mr. Krabs became enemies, starting the main story of that episode. In "It's a SpongeBob Christmas!", Patchy finds Santa's Workshop, but it turns out to be a polar bear's cave while Potty manages to find the real Santa's Workshop.
Potty has been damaged and/or destroyed on multiple occasions, but always returns in the next scene / episode. In "Christmas Who?", Patchy cuts the strings that Potty is attached to, causing him to fall to the ground. Later in that same episode, Patchy pulls on the strings, causing what seems to be a cast member to fall from the ceiling. Again in the same episode, Potty had eaten so much cookie dough that his entire body falls from the weight, leaving only his head intact. At the end of the "Patchy's Pick" segment from "Shanghaied," Potty is blown up by dynamite, which again causes his whole body to fall, including his head.

And the first shall be last… to paraphrase. This was the 1st tune the guys laid down at the recording session I was filming last spring and it's the last one I have left to post. They used the old Freddy King tune, "The Stumble" as a kind of warm up. It worked because they were hot by the end, Hadley Hockensmith guitar, Phil Driscoll keys & trumpet, Bill Maxwell drums, Michiko Hill piano, and Pee Wee Hill bass.
Once again, just as on all the other songs from this session, the guys were playing with their ears, not their eyes, since there were no charts to work from. It was a great day in the studio with some soulful blues tracks laid down. My only regret is that there weren't more tunes recorded, meaning there are no songs to post from that day. However this was so good, I have no choice but to try and convince everyone to get together again soon and make some more music. Hopefully they all enjoyed playing together as much as we like listening to them.

North Carolina Democrats can't remember being so low in state government after Election Day.
The strings of power that party members nearly always held for more than a century will all be cut now after last week's results.
Republican Pat McCrory's gubernatorial victory broke the Democrats' 20-year winning streak for the Executive Mansion. The GOP expanded majorities in the House and Senate and retained the majority on the Supreme Court.
Democrats also took hits in federal races. North Carolina was the only battleground state where President Barack Obama's campaign lost. And Democrats lost at least three U.S. House seats.
Former Democratic Lt. Gov. Dennis Wicker says the party is at a crossroads. He doesn't know if the defeats are just an aberration in a two-party state.

Delphi Automotive PLC Stock Hold Recommendation Reiterated (DLPH)
TheStreet) -- Delphi Automotive (NYSE: DLPH) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a hold with a ratings score of C- . The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its notable return on equity and solid stock price performance. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including unimpressive growth in net income, weak operating cash flow and generally higher debt management risk.Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (

- Compared to other companies in the Auto Components industry and the overall market, DELPHI AUTOMOTIVE PLC's return on equity significantly exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, DLPH's share price has jumped by 36.09%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. Although DLPH had significant growth over the past year, our hold rating indicates that we do not recommend additional investment in this stock at the current time.
- DELPHI AUTOMOTIVE PLC has exprienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, DELPHI AUTOMOTIVE PLC increased its bottom line by earning $3.32 versus $1.69 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($4.22 versus $3.32).
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Auto Components industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 53.1% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $290.00 million to $136.00 million.
- Net operating cash flow has decreased to $310.00 million or 33.76% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.

File:Mobile emitter Borg.jpg
This file was apparently uploaded to illustrate the mobile emitter and temporal transmitter, but achieves neither particularly successfully due to the size and edge-on view. — THOR =/\= 01:49, December 11, 2009 (UTC)
File:Harve Bennett.jpg
Questionable fair use image that has been replaced by a freer image.--Rockfang 09:53, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
- Keep. The image is not "questionable fair use" as it's from the motion picture collection DVD set. This source is cited on the image, so there's nothing questionable about it. The one you uploaded, on the other hand, may be questionable: do you have permission to use that image? Did you get permission from the flickr user you cited, or are you that user? In any case, being of "questionable fair use" is not a valid reason to get rid of the old image as it does not apply. --From Andoria with Love 10:30, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
My apologies, I should have worded my rationale for deletion better. I'm not questioning the source of the image, or whether or not it is actually Harve Bennett. With regards to "permission", the permission is given and shown on the Flickr image page under the "Additional Information" section on the right side. When you release an image like this, that permission is enough. You don't need a specific request for each use of the image. For example if multiple web sites wanted to use it, they each wouldn't have to ask permission. Keeping that in mind, my "questionable" comment was meant in regards to using a fair use image in place of an image that has a freer license. In fact, if you check out this link, it states that freer images are preferred over fair-use ones.--Rockfang 10:58, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
- Keep. I see no reason to get rid of the image. I don't know enough about the second image, but it seems to be redundant if nothing else.--31dot 11:10, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
- See also this TF thread: Forum:Replacing unfree images. Basically, "fair use" images are as "unfree" as it gets, so they should be replaced with "free" images if it can be done. Here, the two images show the exact same thing, so it definitely should be done (deleting the "fair use" one, or just replacing the image located there). As an aside, though, I'm sure we don't need the new one as a 2.4MB version! -- Cid Highwind 11:28, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
- Cid: The only problem I have with that logic, is that it means that every single image we have of a production person that is from DVD special features, magazines, etc, must be replaced. The whole point of that forum discussion was to replace the ones where people claimed copyright over their image that they created and uploaded. For the things from the actual production (ie, DVD special features, etc), there is no reason that we should not be using those, and if we do stop using them, then we should get rid of all of the screen shots from episodes too for exactly the same reason. Don't twist the logic of the initial argument in the forum. -- sulfur 13:32, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

- Well... I made the initial argument as well as the only follow-up five days later - so if I'm making the connection now, perhaps it isn't really "twisting" anything, but in fact what I had in mind all the time? :)
- In any case, I stand by the point I made back then - if we have a "free" replacement, we should use it. Bringing up episode screen shots is a non sequitur, because the basic point that can be made there (and actually one we do make by claiming fair use) is that there simply is no free alternative to be used. A free replacement has been found in this case, so what actually is a good reason for not using it? BTW, there wouldn't even have to be a deletion discussion, if the uploader had just uploaded the image to the same filename - something that could still be done, and would be well within our current guidelines. -- Cid Highwind 16:32, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
- With regards to the 2.4MB size, I apologise. My mind was in Wikimedia Commons mode. I work there a lot more often and there it is preferred to use the highest resolution version. If someone wants to resize the one I uploaded here they are welcome to. On a different note, I decided to upload the image as a separate name because the differences in licenses between the two images. I figured that if someone from outside this site wanted to reuse the image, they might think that all past revisions were under the same license. Which would be incorrect. If I was going to upload a fair-use image over another fair-use image, then I'd use the same name.--Rockfang 21:49, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
- I've uploaded the image from the Motion Picture DVD Collection to illustrate the article of Harve Bennett. But I like the new one and think it will fit into the article. When there is no copyright issue with the new image then replace the old one. – Tom 13:14, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
Are there any opinions on a final verdict?--Rockfang 14:41, February 24, 2010 (UTC)
Do these discussions get closed like on the English Wikipedia? Or does something else happen? Either way, just letting this sit here becoming stagnant without any apparent conclusion seems kinda odd.--Rockfang 08:04, March 6, 2010 (UTC)
- Good point, is there going to be a resolution on this? :-) My vote, BTW, would be to delete the non-free image and replace it with the free one in all links--there's no reason not to in this case. -Mdettweiler 16:49, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

Tanzania`s cashewnut industry looks most interesting, puzzling and quite prosperous, all at the same time.
It is most interesting because its history is characterised by ups and downs; it is puzzling in the sense that it has always moved forward and backward; and it's quite prosperous in that this is the second time it is doing the country proud economically.
Bad, however, that this gives little hope of the great and memorable achievements the industry has made being sustained.
The industry, once the most prosperous in the country, is in serious trouble with little precedent even as this year's produce stands at 155,000 tonnes, the highest ever recorded.
The Cashewnut Board of Tanzania says the quixotic part of the story is that, despite this attractive figure, the industry has over 85,000 tonnes lying in godowns owing to problems with the warehouse system. The consignment cannot be disposed of simply because there are limited markets for raw cashewnuts.
That aside, one would have expected the raw cashewnuts to have been added value to at home and thus earn the country more foreign exchange and create jobs for our people.
But CBT reports that value addition has not been possible even at this time when the industry needs it most, the major reason being that only two of the 12 processing factories built with a USD184m World Bank loan in the 1970s, only two are still in operation.
The fact that these factories can process only 4,000 tonnes of raw cashewnuts a year, leaving the rest of the lot rotting, points to a disaster. This is because, should this ugly situation continue unabated, the industry will surely collapse.
Yet, this seems to have always been the case, according to reliable sources. Once the fourth most valuable export crop after coffee, cotton and tea, some decades ago cashewnuts registered a steady rise in both production and monetary value. Thereafter, it witnessed a dramatic decline - from 145,000 tonnes in 1973 to 16,500 tonnes in 1986.
The major causes of the drop included socio-economic factors such as low producer prices, inefficient marketing and the impact of villagisation. Among the other causes were biological factors such as cashew powdery mildew disease, low tree yields and overcrowding of trees.
Recently, higher cashew prices and liberalised marketing policies have created favourable conditions that have encouraged farmers to tackle several of the biological constraints on production.
This has made production rise from 16,500 tonnes in 1986, to 70,320 tonnes in 1994, to 120,000 tonnes last year and to a projected 155,000 tonnes this year.
The point is that privatisation alone cannot move this industry forward; intervention in terms of appropriate policy measures is a must.
The owners of the factories see no reason to continue processing cashewnuts in Tanzania, which makes it difficult to sensitise middlemen into buying more of the crop from farmers. This makes farmers also see no reason to continue cultivating a crop whose market is shaky, at best.
Deliberate efforts must be made to ensure that, in the absence of ready buyers locally, as much of the crop as possible is processed in Tanzania. Short of this, the industry will surely crumble.

After 10 seconds, I was gasping for breath, sweaty, and definitely convinced that four minutes of Tabata intervals counts as a real workout.
Greatist's Chief Research Officer David Tao was helping me "research" Tabata protocol, and after a round each of burpees, medicine ball clean and presses, and squats, I was feeling the burn (and then some, given how sore I was for the next three days).
Tabata Protocol is a system of short, high-intensity intervals developed by Japanese professor Dr. Izumi Tabata to train Olympic speed skaters. Grab a stopwatch, because this workout method is all about timing.
The basic formula is 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated between six and eight times (between three and four minutes, total). No cheating—the 20/10 ratio has been shown to work both aerobic and anaerobic metabolic pathways harder and more effectively than longer bouts of exercise.
The teeny-tiny intervals force the body to keep moving before it actually recovers from the previous set. So to get the full benefit, those 20 seconds need to be serious business—doing as many reps as possible is key.
Sometime between rounds six and eight the body reaches maximum oxygen intake, so prepare for trembling muscles and burning lungs. On the bright side, working the aerobic and anaerobic pathways fires up the "afterburn effect," so you'll be burning calories long after hitting the showers.
Because this exercise strategy is more of a formula than a specific workout, the possibilities for Tabata are pretty darn flexible. Love bodyweight exercises? Do a set of push-ups. Feeling a dip in the pool? Pull on that swim cap and do some freestyle intervals.
As with any workout regimen (and especially a high-intensity one like Tabata intervals), consult with a trainer beforehand to learn the correct technique. When going all-out, proper form can be the difference between a ticket to the gun show and a ticket to the physical therapist's office.

DescriptionSprunk is a carbonated lemon lime beverage claimed in a Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas radio commercial to contain "10 times the caffeine and sugar", mixed with mercury, ether and benzene, and packaged in fragmentation grenade-shaped cans. The Sprunk logo and color scheme are a caricature of Sprite and "spunk", a slang term for semen. The company's slogan since GTA IV has been "The Essence of Life".
Sprunk establishments are found in both Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV. In San Andreas, players can find the offices of Sprunk in East Beach, Los Santos, as well as a factory in Montgomery, Red County. In GTA IV, opposite the Honkers in Alderney, there is a large Sprunk billboard, while an abandoned factory can be found in Tudor, Alderney.
Sprunk vending machines are dotted throughout Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV, from which the player can buy a can of Sprunk for $1, drink its contents to replenish their health, and throw the empty can away (for GTA IV, the player can pick up and throw the can again). A plastic bottle of Sprunk can also be bought from newspaper stands all over the city in GTA IV. A Sprunk vending machine is also featured in cutscenes in Roman's taxi depot, though it is otherwise inaccessible.Advertisements have also been featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Manhunt and Manhunt 2. The player can also download a Sprunk theme for their phone via Vipluxuryringtones.com in GTA IV, the Sprunk logo can be found on some Benson trucks in the same game. In Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, several billboards for Sprunk can be seen, and, in the PSP and iOS ports of the game, it is also one of the three to choose skins for your PDA.
In GTA IV, Sprunk is also a sponsor of the Venturas Poker Challenge on Weazel and an extreme base jumping competition on CNT in The Ballad of Gay Tony, where 16 contestants go head-to-head and race to base jump off of certain buildings in Liberty City.
GTA VSprunk returns yet again in GTA V, Now playing a more notable role in the game. A few vehicles, such as the Mallard and Sanchez can be obtained in Sprunk liveries, most likely used to promote the drink. Sprunk soda machines also return in GTA V, Working the same way as they do in GTA IV.
Vehicles that can spawn in Sprunk liveries include:
- In the Bohan Warehouse in GTA IV, boxes and cans of Sprunk with the logo designs used in GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas can be found. This is also found on a refrigerator in TW@ Internet Cafes if you walk to the left of the door. The boxes will leak Sprunk soda if shot at.
- In GTA San Andreas, when CJ buys a can of Sprunk from a vending machine, he drinks it upside down.
- Sprunk is also featured in the Manhunt series.
- The name is a play on "Spunk":, a slang term for semen. This is reinforced by the Sprunk motto "The Essence of Life." The rising bubbles on the logo also resemble sperm.
- In GTA San Andreas, a Sprunk billboard featuring a short-haired woman can be found on the southern edge of Jefferson, Los Santos (next to the east-west expressway into the commercial heart of Los Santos), with the slogan "A Taste of Things to Come".Following a car chase during "Reuniting the Families" that ends with the gang's car crashing through the billboard, the billboard's slogan, partially cut away by a clean hole created from the crash, now reads "A Taste of _______Come", referring to "cum" (an informal term for semen). The billboard piece can in fact be destroyed before "Reuniting The Families" using any weapon.
- Sprunk co-exists with eCola, a seeming play of Coca-Cola. In reality, Sprite is a brand owned by Coca-Cola.
- Sprunk Xtreme seems to be a parody of either Mountain Dew's MDX variant or the AMP Energy brand as both Mountain Dew and Sprunk are major sponsors of an action sports tour.
- In GTA IV, Sprunk vending machines instead produce cans of Orang-O-Tang. Cans of Sprunk can be obtained, but only from eCola machines.
- The drink bottle advertised on GTA IV renditions of the Sprunk vending machines oddly resemble classic early 1900s Coca-Cola bottles despite Sprite being introduced much later, around the late 1970s.
- In GTA IV's files, the model name for one of the Sprunk bottles is labeled "Sprite Bottle", further evidence suggesting Sprunk is based off of Sprite.
- A ghost is believed to be in the abandoned Sprunk factory where the Russian mafia members hide.
- In GTA V's Flight School, you can pilot a Sprunk plane in certain lessons.
- In GTA V, Stalking Sprunk's page on the Lifeinvader's real life website grants the player a free vending machine order, provided the player connects Lifeinvader on the Social Club.

Editor's note: Cristina L.H. Traina is a Public Voices Op Ed fellow and professor at Northwestern University, where she is a scholar of social ethics.
President Barack Obama should use the breathing space provided by the fiscal-cliff compromise to address some of the issues that he shelved during his last term. One of the most urgent is child farm labor. Perhaps the least protected, underpaid work force in American labor, children are often the go-to workers for farms looking to cut costs.
It's easy to see why. The Department of Labor permits farms to pay employees under 20 as little as $4.25 per hour. (By comparison, the federal minimum wage is $7.25.) And unlike their counterparts in retail and service, child farm laborers can legally work unlimited hours at any hour of day or night.
As if this were not bad enough, few labor safety regulations apply. Children 14 and older can work long hours at all but the most dangerous farm jobs without their parents' consent, if they do not miss school. Children 12 and older can too, as long as their parents agree. Unlike teen retail and service workers, agricultural laborers 16 and older are permitted to operate hazardous machinery and to work even during school hours.

Bowling Green, MO (KSDK) - The associate pastor of the Cathedral Basilica in the Central West End of St. Louis is set to stand trial March 7th and 8th, 2013.
29 year old Reverend Xiu "Joseph' Jiang was charged last summer with first degree child endangerment after reportedly trying to fondle a 16 year old girl several times in early 2012. The Catholic priest, who was a friend of the victims family, is also charged with felony witness tampering.
In court Tuesday, motions to dismiss the child endangerment charge was denied. He's now scheduled to stand trial next year in Pike County where the case was moved from Lincoln County on a change of venue.
Jiang was placed on administrative leave by the Archdiocese of St. Louis.

A federal judge has dismissed Colorado Christian University's lawsuit challenging the health care overhaul pushed by President Barack Obama's administration.
The health care law requires coverage of certain preventive services, including birth control. The university in Lakewood filed a lawsuit in 2011 that said its religious beliefs kept it from providing coverage for emergency contraceptives.
Court documents filed Tuesday indicate the judge granted the federal government's request to dismiss the case. The government had argued the case wasn't ripe for judicial review because it plans to issue new regulations to accommodate religious objections of employers like the university, and the school is protected from any enforcement action against it until at least July 1, 2014.

Loving the really crisp pen and ink feel of it already!
This is a commission I've taken on to map a region roughly equivalent to the Mediterranean basin. Request thread here.
At present I'm working on symbolizing the various climate/biome types: Boreal Forest, Temperate Forest, Steppe, Mediterranean, Semi-Arid, and Arid. Much of the temperate forest has been cleared by human activity; I expect the Elves aren't happy, but thankfully that's not my problem to deal with.
Target size is an A3 print.
Here's an overview.
And a 300 DPI subset.
As usual, this is done in Inkscape with some help from custom Ruby scripts to massage the SVG.

Some funky looking trees there in the middle two pics. Is that supposed to be some sort of desert / savannah?
Wow! That's gorgeous. I love the simplicity and cleanness of it. Every symbol looks great, and they all balance each other well, as in, the mountains don't overpower the forests, or vice versa.

Andrew Bird Concert Tickets
Like a wandering minstrel of olden times, Andrew Bird is the rare musician who offers technical virtuosity, expert storytelling and a flare for the unusual. Trained as a four-year-old in the Japanese Suzuki method of violin instruction which focuses on developing a child's heart using beautiful music, Bird's lessons have clearly penetrated his later work. The Suzuki Method emphasizes music education at an early age - although Bird is considered young by most, his sound is much more developed beyond his years.
Bird first came to prominence on Squirrel Nut Zippers' first album Hot and later as the front man for Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire. One of Bird's most prophetic moments came when his band couldn't make it to a gig and his now trademark one man show came into existence. His first two solo albums were released on Ani DiFranco's Righteous Babe Records label where Bird developed his more indie-rock sound. Without his backing band, Bird made use of loop pedals and a variety of instruments including the guitar and glockenspeil. Fans who have attended Andrew Bird tour dates have stood in awe at Bird's awesome ability to recreate the sound of a full band using pedals and playing multiple instruments.
Fans picking up Andrew Bird tickets will see his latest album Break It Yourself performed live alongside a couple of band mates to help flesh out the album's layered textures. Rolling Stone Magazine gave the album 3.5 stars stating, "Over a nearly 20-year career, Chicago singer, songwriter and violinist Andrew Bird has built a rep as one of indie rock's most beguiling light touches – a dude who makes Jeff Tweedy look like a Nordic death-metal pyro. Fusing elements of jazz, Celtic folk and chamber pop while softly talk-singing – or whistling – tunes with titles like "Scythian Empires," he might be gratingly pretentious, if he wasn't so unobtrusively amiable." With a palette of genres ranging from folk, swing and jazz to zydeco to choose from, you won't want to miss Andrew Bird tour dates in your area!

No two are ever the same
Posted by Doreen | Filed under Inspiration, Musings
It is likely that snowflakes can be the same, but it is not probable that any one person would see those similar snowflakes if they did exist. Nonetheless, I prefer to stick with the thought that every snowflake is unique, just like the design its natural beauty inspires.
Designer Philippe Bestenheider's "Nanook Chair" was inspired by the molecular structure of the snowflake, though they also remind me of autumn leaves–another natural beauty that falls from the sky.
This snowflake table design by Claesson Koivisto Rune for OFFECT is the world's first furniture to be massed produced and yet, one-of-a-kind. The tables are cut using a computer program that changes the pattern with set perimeters for each table with the aim to achieve the same variation that is found with real snowflakes.

TRIGR is an international randomized clinical trial that examines the development of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in genetically susceptible children. T1DM has been called an autoimmune disease because the body's own immune system destroys the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. Some studies have implicated foreign milk proteins from baby formulas as the initial targets of the immune response that later destroys the insulin-producing cells.
Traditional baby formulas, often produced from cow's milk, contain complex milk proteins that can elicit an immune response. Breast milk and hydrolyzed milk formulas do not cause a similar immune response. In TRIGR, researchers are examining whether weaning infants from breast milk to a hydrolyzed formula lowers their risk of developing T1DM.
To date, TRIGR has enrolled 2,160 children who are genetically susceptible to T1DM on the basis of having first-degree relatives with T1DM. The health status of the children will be followed until they are 10 years old. The study will be completed in 2017, the year that the last child recruited turns 10 years old.
The Trial is funded by several NIH Institutes and other agencies, including the NICHD Pediatric Growth and Nutrition Branch (PGNB) (formerly the Endocrinology, Nutrition, and Growth (ENG) Branch), the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International, and the European Commission. NIH funding is provided through a Cooperative Agreement award mechanism (U01). Currently, 77 sites across 15 countries are participating in the trial.
TRIGR will examine whether weaning to the hydrolyzed formula, rather than a more traditional formula, leads to the following:
Currently, 77 sites in the following countries are participating:
A full list of participating centers is available through the TRIGR website.

News 12 First at Five / Thursday, Feb. 21, 2013
MCDUFFIE COUNTY, Ga. (WRDW) -- Many are filled with grief after the death of Dr. Steven Roth, a victim in the plane crash in Thomson Wednesday night.
Dr. Lionel Zumbro, a close friend of Dr. Roth, said they didn't share an office, but they shared the same passion.
"It's depressing and horrible for everybody, especially in the medical community," he said.
And it's a feeling that's all too familiar for him.
"I personally had my plane go down 10 or 12 years ago, lost some very good friends in it," Zumbro said.
He was the owner of the plane that went down killing Sen. Thomas Allgood and his wife more than a decade ago.
"When my plane went down with my friends in it, it took time, lots of time, a very slow process," Zumbro said.
Now, 12 years later, he's going through that process again. This time, it's another friend -- one in his field.
"He was very professional, very knowledgeable," said Zumbro about Roth. "I think he really pioneered vein work here in Augusta, he really enjoyed it."
Zumbro says he really enjoyed having Roth as a colleague.
"It makes it a little harder for us to go on and do our work today," he said.
And Zumbro says he knows tomorrow will be hard, too, and the next ... and the next.
"I think it takes you a few days for you to get over the initial shock and the realization that something terrible like this has happened," he said.
In this case, you could technically call the doctors competitors since they worked at different practices, but Zumbro says he has never seen it that way. He says they worked in different buildings but worked toward the same goal -- the best patient care possible.

Interactive Tool: What Is Your Risk for a Stroke if You Have Atrial Fibrillation?
What does this tool help you learn?
This interactive tool measures the chance of having a stroke in the next 5 years, for people who are age 55 or older and have atrial fibrillation. This tool is based on information from the Framingham Heart Study. Since 1948 the Framingham Heart Study has studied the progression of heart disease and its risk factors.
This tool is not meant for people who are already at high risk for a stroke. Ask your doctor if this tool is for you.
What do the results tell you?
Your score will appear as a value from 1% to 99%. If your score is 5%, it means that 5 out of 100 people with this level of risk will have a stroke in the next 5 years. If your score is 10%, it means that 10 out of 100 people with this level of risk will have a stroke in the next 5 years.
This information can help you and your doctor decide the best way to keep your stroke risk as low as possible. For example, these percentages are one way your doctor can decide if an anticoagulant (blood thinner), such as warfarin, is the right medicine to help lower your risk of stroke.
If you are above a 10% risk, talk to your doctor about taking an anticoagulant. You will want to weigh the benefits of reducing your risk of stroke against the risks of taking an anticoagulant. These medicines work well to prevent stroke. But they also increase the risk of bleeding. Your doctor may also check your risk of bleeding from an anticoagulant to see if it's right for you.
If you are at a 10% risk or lower, you may get enough protection from stroke by taking aspirin. Aspirin may be a good choice if you are young and have no other heart or health problems or if you can't take an anticoagulant safely. Aspirin doesn't work as well as an anticoagulant to reduce your stroke risk. But aspirin is less likely to cause bleeding problems.
Other antiplatelet medicines, such as clopidogrel (Plavix), may be used. Your doctor may have you take them with aspirin or instead of aspirin. When aspirin and clopidogrel are used together, they may reduce the risk for stroke more than aspirin alone. But this combination is also more likely to cause bleeding than aspirin alone.
What's next?
Talk to your doctor about how to lower your risk of stroke if you have atrial fibrillation.
For help deciding if taking an anticoagulant is right for you, see:
For help deciding which anticoagulant to take, see:
For more information, see the topic Atrial Fibrillation.
This tool was derived from Wang TJ, et al. (2003). A risk score for predicting stroke or death in individuals with new-onset atrial fibrillation in the community: The Framingham heart study. JAMA, 290(8): 1049–1056. The Framingham Heart Study is a project of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, a part of the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and Boston University.
