Greetings and salutations, LEGO Club members! Today, weve got an exclusive interview with Daniel Lipkowitz, the writer of the LEGO Star WarsTM comics in LEGO Club Magazine as well as the computeranimated episodes at starwars.LEGO.com.
Hey, Daniel! So who are you, and what do you do? Hello out there, LEGO Club! Im a Senior Writer here at the LEGO Group. I work with the famous BIONICLE author Greg Farshtey to write the various LEGO Club magazines all around the world. We also come up with storylines for new LEGO themes and do pretty much any other creative writing needed by the company. Though I didnt come up with their original stories, I worked a lot on Knights Kingdom and EXOFORCE and even wrote a few Knights Kingdom books. Recently, though, Ive spent a lot of time on a certain LEGO Star Wars project So spill the beans already! Whats up with LEGO Star Wars in 2009? Okay, okay! As readers of the Club magazines already know, weve got a year-long storyline going on called The Hunt for R2-D2 that takes place during the Clone Wars. Artoo has gone missing, and everybody is looking all over the galaxy trying to find him. The story is running through every issue of LEGO Club Magazine this year, as well as on the LEGO Star Wars website. Whos looking for R2-D2, and whys it so important to find him? Aside from the fact that Artoo was my favorite Star Wars character as a kid, there are two main reasons. Anakin and Ahsoka are trying to find him because hes their friend, and he got lost on one of their Jedi missions, so they feel responsible. During that mission, R2-D2 got the blueprints for a top-secret Republic project stored inside of his memory banks. Supreme Chancellor Palpatine wants those plans himself, so hes sent a squad of clone troopers to find the droid, too. Meanwhile, Count Dooku has somehow found out about the blueprints and sent his own elite team of assassin droids to track down R2-D2 first. And then theres one last group looking for him: a team of battle droids that accidentally overheard Dooku and think he wants THEM to find the missing droid. How are you telling the story? The magazines are telling the Jedi side of the story, with an illustrated comic in each issue (6 total) starring Anakin and Ahsoka as they go from planet to planet looking for their lost friend. On the website, weve got the clone side of the story, with 10 new computer-animated movie-comics showing the adventures of the clone trooper squad that Chancellor
Palpatine ordered to go find R2-D2 before the Jedi do. The first new episode is due to appear on the site in March, so hopefully its up right now when you read this! How did you get involved with this LEGO Star Wars story? It all started back in 2005 when I wrote the script for Revenge of the Brick, a 5-minute computer-animated mini-movie that was shown on television to celebrate the release of Star Wars Episode III. It was really well-received (it even won a Clio Award!) and ended up being popular enough that the LEGO Star Wars team decided to do it again in 2008, but this time as a series of shorter animated episodes for the web. I was asked to write ten new Clone Wars mini-adventures, which have probably just finished up as you read this. That was a great experience, and I even got to fly out to Lucasfilm HQ in California to research them. They were really popular too, so one day last year, we all sat down to talk about what to do next and hit on the idea of having one big LEGO Star Wars storyline all across the magazines and website in 2009. Are you a Star Wars fan yourself? Oh, yeah. I was only 2 when the original movie came out in 1977, but I read all about it and grilled my parents friends for information when they visited. By the time I actually saw the movie in theaters a couple of years later, Id memorized the entire thing. Im definitely a lifelong fan. Whats it like writing a Star Wars story? Its amazing! Sure, LEGO Star Wars stories may not be quite official as far as the overall Star Wars universe goes, but its pretty much this grownup kids dream come true to get to write stories set in that galaxy far, far away. I have a lot of fun with it, and I hope it shows through with some of the sillier Star Wars references that I manage to sneak in once in a while. Can you give us an example of one of those silly references? Sure! Theres one in Episode 3 (Always Count Your Clones Before TakeOff) thats written on the side of the crate that the two clones open. Do not open until Life Day? Thats the one! And if you dont know what Life Day is, then youve missed out on the extremely memorable Star Wars Holiday Special that aired on TV in 1978. Do you have a favorite character to write? Youd think that it would be one of the main characters, but the truth is that I like writing droids and clone troopers more than anyone else! With a famous Star Wars character like Anakin or Obi-Wan, a writer is limited by the fact that they already have established personalities. This is LEGO Star Wars, of course, so I can make them goofier and exaggerate their reactions, but with droids and clones, anything goes. I can make those little guys do and say pretty much anything!
My favorites at the moment are 1137 and 1139, a pair of clone troopers who look exactly the same, but act completely different. They originally only showed up in the third 2008 website comic, but theyre back in 2009 as part of the squad that Palpatine sends to track down R2-D2. Theyre just a fun pair to write, and Im glad I had the chance to bring them back. Im hoping that even though theyre physically identical, by the end of the story, readers will be able to tell which one is which just by looking at what theyre doing in a particular scene. (For the record, 1137 is the serious one, and 1139 is the crazy one.) If I had to pick a real Star Wars character, Id say it would be Ahsoka Tano, Anakins new Jedi apprentice who was created for the new Clone Wars movie and TV series. Shes got a fun personality, and I enjoy writing snappy dialogue exchanges between her and Anakin.
Whats been the biggest challenge in writing the Clone Wars comics and animations? Part of it is time and budget Id love to include more huge galactic battle scenes with hundreds of vehicles, troopers and droids, but its not really possible to get something like that animated for the web. I also tend to see everything I write in my imagination, so its a little weird when things in the comics and animations dont quite match up to the picture I had in my head. But the biggest challenge for me personally is that whenever I come up with a really silly moment for the battle droids that I totally love, the real Clone Wars TV series tops me by having one thats even sillier. This is LEGO Star Wars, so the goofiness quotient has to be cranked up to the maximum, but its tough when the show is coming up with the same jokes as me! There was one other tricky bit when I wanted to include a particular vehicle in the comics, but the episode of the Clone Wars TV show that featured it hadnt aired yet, so I had no idea what it did or who the characters that came with it were. Believe it or not, some of the storylines at Lucasfilm are so top-secret that even the LEGO writer cant always find out about these things ahead of time! Soany hints about how The Hunt for R2-D2 ends? Who gets the blueprints? Do they find Artoo? Im not tellin! Oh well, we had to ask! Thanks, Daniel! Keep on building and writing! Hey, LEGO Club members! Check out the new Clone Wars animated comics and remember, if you dont get LEGO Club Magazine, youre missing out on half of the story! Sign up today!

text: Tajikistan moves to block Facebook as 'hotbed of slander' Politics 29 November 12 by Philippa Warr Shutterstock Tajikistan officials have moved to block the entire country's Facebook access after claiming that the social network was a "hotbed of slander".According to The Washington Post, the remarks were made by the country's Head of Communications, Beg Zuhurov.Zuhurov also told the BBC that he was hoping that head of Facebook, Mark Zuckerburg would come to Tajikistan to discuss social networks -- particularly their ability to deal with alleged sponsored criticism of Tajik officials.The communications chief denies ordering the block but says he is not alone in his concerns and claims that he has received daily complaints from citizens worried about the stream of "defamatory materials about the country and particular officials".This is not the first time the former Soviet republic has revoked access to the site -- earlier in 2012 Facebook access was blocked for a week."There is no point in blocking sites," said Parvin Ibodova of Tajikistan's Association of Internet Service Providers of this earlier incident. "There are a huge amount of software and proxy servers that allow you to bypass all restrictions." Image: Shutterstock Edited by Nate Lanxon Latest on wired.co.uk

Sen. Kyl: A Fighter for Lowering Estate Tax Rates
Sen. Jon Kyl's announcement that he won't seek re-election in 2012 means Senate Republicans will lose a canny negotiator on estate tax issues.
The Arizona Republican has been the key figure in pressing to lower the federal levy on inherited wealth. He scored significant, if temporary, victories on the issue, helping to preserve a one-year repeal of the tax in 2010, and striking a deal with President Barack Obama to set the estate tax rate at 35% for 2011 and 2012.
Mr. Kyl irked conservative opponents of the estate tax by working with former Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D., Ark.) on a proposal that would permanently set estate tax rates at 35%, and exempt the first $5 million of inherited wealth. The culmination of that fight was the deal with Obama last December to enact the Lincoln-Kyl compromise for two years.
But the deal is likely to come under pressure when it comes up for renewal in 2012, at a time when lawmakers of both parties will be looking for ways to reduce the deficit.
"We've had a lot of champions from both sides of the aisle for death tax repeal over the years, but Senator Kyl has clearly been the leader," said Dena Battle, a lobbyist for the National Association of Manufacturers, using opponents term for the tax. "In terms of both policy and keeping the stakeholders together, Kyl led the charge."
Beyond estate tax issues, Mr. Kyl, a senior member of the Finance Committee and the top Republican on the taxation subcommittee, will take with him a wealth of experience on oversight of the Internal Revenue Service and tax issues.

Coordination critical for conference success
June 3, 2010
Story Highlights
- Behind the scenes efforts keep conference on track
- Planning began when U.S. Army Chief of Staff tasked RDECOM to host
- International collaboration key to conference success
ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. -- Behind the scenes at the Conference of American Armies, organizers and planners huddle in small groups for brief after-action reports, talking about the next day's events and brainstorming contingencies, deliberating a myriad of "what ifs".
They constantly refer to their "synch matrix" to keep events on time and on subject.
There are many contingencies that pop up during a conference involving an international group of delegates, and the appearance of flawless function is due to long hours of hard prep work done by the Corporate Communications section of the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command.
For the three-day CAA session being hosted here this week by RDECOM, coordination began five month's ago, shortly after the command was designated to be the hosting organization.
The program lead was assigned to Katie Everett, a marketing specialist with RDECOM, who deftly coordinated and cajoled into action diverse Army elements and agencies required to conduct a conference of this magnitude.
With the consistent support of her boss, Linda Longo, the RDECOM G5 director, and the assistance of RDECOM protocol officer Kimberly Ables and Science and Technology Advisor to U.S. Army South, Lt. Col. Delisa Hernandez, Everett began, much like a puppeteer, pulling the strings and bringing the conference to life.
U.S. Army South, headquartered in San Antonio, is the CAA program manager. The command's lead agent for the CAA, Enrique Labrador, was engaged from the beginning, supplying his experience from previous conference sessions to assist Everett and crew develop a list of requirements and also coordinating with CAA members for their involvement at the APG session.
Everett constructed a timeline and requirement matrix and conducted all in-progress reports. She leveraged assistance and doled out taskings from wherever a service was needed, including operations, security, logistics, audio/visual and translator services. She initiated contractual arrangements with bus companies, hotels, the U.S.S. Constellation and all catering services, and scheduled all conference entertainment. She conducted site assessments at all venues and supervised floorplan designs, badging requirements and movement schedules for the delegates and support staff.
"Katie has done a fantastic job," Brig. Gen. Harold Greene, deputy command general for RDECOM and presiding officer and host of this session of the CAA. "Conferences are a bear, but international conferences are really a bear. Katie has an understanding of the complexities and the professional acumen to bring it all together.
"The entire crew has done a superb job," Greene added. "It's no easy task to pull a conference like this together, but the skill and effort that the entire RDECOM and APG garrison staff have put forth demonstrates our ability to work together and host an absolutely splendid event for an international body."

Angelina Jolie is pregnant again and probably much to Brad Pitt's dismay. Star Magazine is reporting that:
"Yes, Angie is pregnant," a family insider tells Star. "They'd been trying for another baby for months, but it was still a total shock when she found out. Brad and Angie have been fighting so much lately, it just didn't seem possible."
A source close to the actress confirms that Angie is about two and a half months along. "She's thrilled. She said she knew she was pregnant before the test confirmed it!" But she kept the news from Brad, only telling him when he returned from a trip to New Orleans at the end of March.
Baby number seven couldn't be coming at a better time because, as Star has reported, the duo have been fighting since Angie caught Brad warmly comforting a nanny in February.
For Brad Pitt, is it worth it? Yeah, you might have one of the sexiest woman on the face of this planet but then again you also have 7 crumb crunchers to deal with. Honestly, I rather just have a semi-sexy chick and only have to deal with 1 or 2 kids.

Tim Russert's death has triggered a ratings spiral at the dominant Sunday morning national newsmaker program in America.
"Meet the Press'' is causing a ratings mess for NBC, which has to figure out how to stanch the bleeding at a time when the most historic political election of our lifetime is in full swing.
Right now, Tom Brokaw is filling in on an interim basis. Insider speculation, however, is that NBC will try rotating hosts after the election.
Just a thougth, but not having a permanent host will surely accelerate the ratings slide.
But a tryout period is probably the best option in figuring out who has the kind of depth, breadth, personality and curiousity that made Russert, who hosted the show for 17 years, such a hit.
These folks are among the names bandied about.
NBC's David Gregory, Andrea Mitchell and Chuck Todd. MSBC's Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann.
Here are three I like -- CNN's John King and PBS's Gwen Ifill and Ray Suarez. How about this sleeper -- HBO's Bryant Gumbel?
Of course 20 years down the road, keep your eyes on Luke Russert -- Tim's kid, who recently landed a gig at MSNBC.
Who would you want to see as the permanent replacement for Tim Russert? Who else should be at least considered?
Give me a holler.

Party hack takes exception to Advertiser editorial
Critical, independent thinking is alive and well at some of our community newspapers, despite the presence of a Quebec-based monopoly,' as some have described Transcontinental.
And it seems the provincial Tories would like to snuff that out.
This week, in The Advertiser, reporter David Newell wrote an editorial that was critical of regional MHAs for failing to show up at the rally in Grand Falls-Windsor to support physicians.
Here's an excerpt from Newell's editorial:
Often, politicians only show up for good news. You can't blame them, since no one likes to have to defend something they have done wrong or something which is really beyond their power to fix immediately. It takes a very thick skin to stand at a podium in front of a throng, some of whom are ready to pounce, and say, "We are trying our best."
The only one who did that on Thursday was Grand Falls-Windsor-Buchans MHA Susan Sullivan.
No one else showed up.
There are at least two other elected members of the House of Assembly who were not there to demonstrate their support for their government's efforts, the health authority's hard work or even their colleague.
Exploits MHA Clayton Forsey was not standing with the dignitaries. Neither was Grand Falls-Windsor Green Bay South representative Ray Hunter. Both were in meetings with Health Minister Ross Wiseman, about 200 metres away from the rally.
That's what I call fair comment, based on accepted facts. You can read the rest of the editorial here.
However, Brian Tremblett of the Exploits District PC Association cried foul. In a letter to the editor, he raked Newell over the coals for having the audacity to criticize Conservative MHAs.
"I used to think David was a fair reporter but I guess his article this week and one last week has me beginning to doubt my original belief," Tremblett said, adding that this is a "common trait of the reporting style" at The Advertiser.
"All one has to do is read the numerous articles condemning the present day government since they took office, while the vast majority of the province has been very supportive," Tremblett writes, as if high polling numbers for the premier means the media should shut up and behave.
What a load of crap.
He then repeats that Forsey and Hunter were in the meeting with the Minister. He writes: "I don't suppose David was suggesting that if Clayton and Ray were at the rally that he or the Advertiser would have taken the time to interview them... nah."
He objects to the insinuation that the rally was not important to the MHAs, pointing out that the mayors of Botwood and Grand Falls-Windsor weren't at the rally either.
As if that was in any way relevant. The rally was for the benefit of those responsible and accountable for health care in this province. The system is in a mess, and that's not the mayors' fault.
Yes, it's difficult to stand in front of a crowd and defend a health care system that's in tatters. However, Wiseman could have pulled it off with some straight talk about what he is doing to recruit physicians and specialists. And don't suggest it was a scheduling thing all it would have taken is 15 minutes from Wiseman's agenda.
You can read the full text of Tremblett's letter here. But the final three paragraphs are so galling, so insulting, that I include them here in their entirety:
"This type of journalism or lack thereof has been very common with the Advertiser. They all too often hide many of the facts and paint a picture of something other than what it really is. It is too bad that this type of journalism has to prevail in our paper because many of us look forward to fair and credible journalism and not the low ball, demeaning and unwarranted reporting of some of the Advertiser's articles.
"It strikes me strange that nobody on the editorial staff thought of any of the points I mentioned in this letter and it is even stranger that David Newell would allow himself to print such a disheartening commentary after all of the positives that existed because of the rally and meeting with the minister.
"I find it very disheartening as well that a reporter such as David Newell for two weeks in a row has taken public swipes at PC politicians. All politics aside, it is not fair reporting and we the readers of this paper deserve much more. Not sure why this attitude exists at the Advertiser, even though I have my thoughts, but I certainly hope this letter might open some eyes and get the reporting back to being credible, responsible, accountable and most importantly, fair."
Such bullshit, eh?
I spoke briefly with David Newell on Thursday. He said he was bothered only briefly by the letter journalists always take pause when someone accuses them of being less than professional but he recovered quickly. (I am not sure that Tremblett realizes how serious such an allegation is for a journalist.) Newell said he has the support of his managing editor, Jenn Pelley, and the overall editor of the papers, Ron Ennis. (Ennis has been in this position since I worked there 20 years ago, and is the person for whom the term long-suffering' has been coined. God luv ya, Ron.)
For the benefit of Mr. Tremblett, most people in this province who saw news coverage of the rally that day thought, That's typical. The premier and two ministers will show up for a good news event, like Danny Cleary, but for a controversial issue like health care, there's not a minister to be seen.'
Mr. Tremblett can spin it any way he wants. That's the reality of it.
And he can write me a nasty letter if he likes, though it will have about as much consequence as a fart on Signal Hill.
The simple fact is, free speech is alive and well in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Apologies to Sue Hickey, who I mistakenly identified earlier as the editor of The Advertiser.

"It is critical women realize that the vast majority of legislators making these decisions are men who often fail to make an effort to understand the real life issues that women face every day. These men have made backroom deals to take women back to the 19th century in terms of health care options and reproductive rights. The National Women's Political Caucus of Florida is participating in this rally with the goal of inspiring women to take the next step and run for office, working towards equality in the legislative bodies in Tallahassee and Washington, D.C."

Taking Offense Is the Best Offense
How umbrage has become this year's hottest campaign tactic.
Barack Obama extended his winning streak to 12 consecutive contests Monday when he successfully took umbrage. His chance came when the Drudge Report claimed Clinton staffers were passing around a picture of Sen. Obama in the native dress of Wajir, a rural desert area in northeastern Kenya. Drudge didn't explain to whom the picture was being sent, and the only context for the picture was a quote from an alleged Clinton staffer asking: "Wouldn't we be seeing this on the cover of every magazine if it were HRC?"
It was just the opening a presidential candidate craves, a perfect opportunity to take umbrage. Obama campaign manager David Plouffe immediately cried foul, charging the Clinton campaign with "the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering we've seen from either party in this election. … It's exactly the kind of divisive politics that turns away Americans of all parties and diminishes respect for America in the world." On a conference call with reporters moments later, Obama's senior foreign policy adviser, Susan Rice, said that the "divisive" picture suggested that the customs of other cultures were "worthy of ridicule or condemnation." Finally Obama completed the response cycle in a radio interview: "The notion that the Clinton campaign would be trying to circulate this as a negative on the same day that Senator Clinton was giving a speech about how we repair our relationships around the world is sad."
The swift reaction from the Obama forces was good damage control and even better umbrage-taking, a political tactic that has been elevated to a high art in the 2008 campaign. There was once a time when campaigns didn't respond to items like this for fear of giving them too much publicity. But if done correctly, candidates can exploit flamboyant displays of public upset to gain attention, raise money, put their opponents on the defensive, and distract from an unfavorable story.
Last week, John McCain may have united his conflicted Republican Party on the umbrage platform. Conservative commentators once groused he was too liberal. Heck, he'd even been endorsed by the New York Times. Then the paper ran its widely criticized story about alleged conversations among McCain associates about an alleged improper relationship with a female lobbyist. The conservative world united in group indignation at the cheap shot by the liberal Times. Even better, McCain and the RNC got the chance to send out indignant fundraising letters.
John Edwards perfected the use of resentment to raise campaign cash. When Ann Coulter called him a "faggot," his aides immediately sent out a fundraising appeal. His campaign also raised money off of the press' obsession with his$400 haircut. Elizabeth Edwards took umbrage repeatedly on her husband's behalf—calling in to Hardball to rebuke Coulter and even posting a defense of him in Slate's Fray. Each time, she generated sympathy, rallied the troops, and won attention for the campaign.
The key to taking successful umbrage is keeping the expressions of outrage in proper proportion to the offense. Calling for an apology from your opponent for some slight that seems too minor can make you look like a whiner. Or, it can make you look like a simple huckster who's trying to push fake goods.
During John McCain's pitched battle with Mitt Romney, his instinct for crying foul was so sensitive, it started to look like he would start a fight if Romney looked at a voter the wrong way. McCain called on Romney to apologize to the military for suggesting a withdrawal from Iraq that Romney never suggested. He called on him to apologize to Bob Dole for a minor dig. In professional soccer, basketball, and football, officials penalize players who overdramatize fouls or injuries that haven't taken place. Perhaps politics should find a way to incorporate the same rules.

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) - President Vladimir Putin says Russia will continue helping Syria even if it comes under attack.
Putin, speaking at Friday's briefing after the Group of 20 summit, answered with a firm "we will" when asked if Russia will keep providing assistance to Syria if it's attacked.
He added that Russia has been supplying weapons to Syria and maintaining economic cooperation.
Putin said that Russia intends to increase its humanitarian assistance to the Syrian people after more than two years of hostilities.
Putin and his officials have previously said that Moscow has no intention of engaging in the conflict.
However, Russia has increased its naval presence in the Mediterranean, which the Kremlin's chief of staff said could help Russia evacuate its citizens from Syria if necessary.

I hope to use remote sensing, in addition to state documentation, to examine where the majority of this change is taking place and what type of change it is. During the first semester of next year this will probably be narrowed down, perhaps to look at a specific type of change, such as development along shorelines or on wetlands. Which academic categories is most appropriate?

Winning At Running Election Campaigns
If you are working a political marketing campaign for workplace to the initially time, you may be hoping that there's some sort of magical secret weapon that you can use to defeat your opponent: a never-fail campaign program, as an example, or a design to get a political mailers that may make each voter who sees it promptly support you.
Sad to say, there certainly is not any sort of magical way to win a political marketing campaign every last time. Whatever methods you utilize, there will generally be men and women who only cannot be convinced to vote for you–whether it really is as a result of your political social gathering, your identify or another factor beyond your handle. There's, however, a technique which you can use to make successful your political marketing campaign much more most likely: tricky deliver the results. And imagine it or not, only a few new area election candidates truly put a great deal operate into their campaigns in the least. The typical candidate for community office could compose a handful of letter to the editor or knock on a handful of doors, nonetheless they never put in the type of dedication and shoe leather that it actually normally takes to win. Your tricky get the job done requirements to be directed with the suitable techniques, also. Here is a rule of thumb that you can use to choose which strategies are probable to do the job finest as part of your campaign: the harder it really is, the greater votes it'll most likely get you. As an example, only doing some mobile calls to individuals in your neighborhood is straightforward, and as these it isn't going to obtain the regular candidate a lot of votes. Knocking on every last door in your own town or district and introducing by yourself to the voters, nevertheless, can be quite difficult–and highly effective.
By applying the political marketing campaign technique of well-planned, targeted hard perform, you can make your probability of successful your election considerably increased. Colorful marketing campaign adverts can affect public belief, there is certainly undoubtedly, and consequently sway the election benefits. It signifies that just one that has more dough to make investments in their campaign wins the race. Needless to say, it truly is unquestionably unacceptable and ought to be meticulously thought through. In all probability it helps make feeling to veto marketing campaign advertisements no less than in advance of the Election Day? Good issue to consider in one's spare time. Political marketing campaign approaches to have out the vote on Election Day might be varied and there's no single all encompassing answer. If there was, every candidate may be carrying out identical point on the exact time. Moreover, political consultants will all say they've got the corner to the method market place, and can ask to become compensated handsomely for their recommendation. Nonetheless, even with most of the superior priced information and decades of knowledge these days, 50% on the candidates nonetheless reduce. What do the 50% of candidates who win have that the losers do not? Essentially, it isn't going to get extra than typical sense to figure it out:
Successful ways are dependent on that which you can afford. Properly created television advertisements can spell the main difference involving achievement and failure. But television ads can be costly and just a few persons who see them will in reality vote. Immediate mail on the other hand is usually targeted, yet expensive also. One economical way to target voters should be to possess a conference that might enable you to communicate to a large number of prime voters at the identical time about the telephone. You are able to even have them consult issues.

Sow Housing
The U.S. pork industry builds its animal care and well-being programs on the foundation of what is best for the pig. U.S. pork producers have a moral obligation to provide the best human care for their animals. However, questions regarding one type of production system that utilizes gestation stalls (individual pens that sows are housed in while pregnant, to monitor feed intake and protect from aggressive sows) have led to calls for changes that may not provide benefits for the animal and may endanger the health of the sow and her unborn piglets, food safety and the environment.
The sow housing issue remains an important legislative topic across the country for both producers and consumers. Since 2001, when Florida voters amended their constitution to ban the use of gestation stalls, a number of legislative efforts and a variety of regulations have been offered in several states. This issue has been seized upon by animal rights activists, who are focusing their organizing power and mega-fundraising in states with "citizen-friendly" ballot initiative processes. Animal rights activists often push for gestation stall bans in states where there is little to no pork production.
- In 2012, Domino's Pizza shareholders rejected (by a majority vote of 80 percent) a resolution from animal rights activists requiring its pork suppliers to stop the use of gestation stalls.
- In 2013, the New York legislature refused to approve a gestation stall ban.
- In 2013 and 2014, the Connecticut legislature stood up for the state's family farmers and refused to vote for stall bans two years in a row.
- In 2013, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie vetoed legislation that would have banned the use of gestation stalls. In rejecting the legislation, Christie said: "The proper balancing of humane treatment of gestation pigs with the interests of farmers whose livelihood depends on their ability to properly manage their livestock best rests with the State's farming experts – the State Board [of Agriculture] and the Department [of Agriculture]."
- In 2014, the Massachusetts legislature refused to pass a gestation stall ban.
NPPC Position
NPPC supports the position of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) on sow housing. The AVMA maintains that no certain system is better than another for animal welfare, and all systems have advantages and disadvantages. The AVMA asserts that the pork industry "has moved toward gestation stall (crate) housing, because gestation stalls increase caregiver productivity, require lower capital investment, and are easier to manage than some indoor group housing systems."
According to the AVMA, "sow housing systems should:
- Minimize aggression and competition among sows;
- Protect sows from detrimental effects associated with environmental extremes, particularly temperature extremes;
- Reduce exposure to hazards that result in injuries, pain, or disease;
- Provide every animal with daily access to appropriate food and water;
- Facilitate observation of individual sow appetite, respiratory rate, urination and defecation, and reproductive status by caregivers; and
- Allow sows to express most normal patterns of behavior."
According to the AVMA, "current group systems allow freedom of movement and social interaction. However, these same systems, when they fail to work well, lead to problems, especially in the areas of aggression, injury, and uneven body condition. When they lack manipulable material, sows in group systems are also unable to forage. Current stall systems minimize aggression and injury, reduce competition, allow individual feeding, and assist in control of body condition. Stalls, however, also restrict movement, exercise, foraging behavior and social interaction. Because the advantages and disadvantages of housing systems are qualitatively different, there is no simple or objective way to rank systems for "overall" welfare."
NPPC opposes efforts to prohibit production practices and remains committed to using its resources to fight any legislation or regulation that prevents pork producers from using the most beneficial means of housing sows. The pork industry has named sow housing as one of its highest research priorities and has put more than $500,000 toward sow housing research to learn how best to optimize types of housing systems while providing for the well-being of pigs. Educational resources are also available to producers through programs and printed materials such as PQA PlusTM and the Swine Care Handbook and through workshops such as the industry's Sow Housing Forum held in May 2007.
The pork industry opposes legislation that would mandate on-farm food-animal production practices, including banning the use of individual sow housing, because scientific research has shown that there is no one, single best way to house a pregnant sow. To mandate any one type of sow housing system is not in the best interest of the pigs. The pork industry cannot accept non-science based directives about production practices that are advocated by animal rights activists that do not know pork production and have a vegetarian-based agenda masked as a concern for animal welfare.

New Homestay standards benchmark
The Centre for English Teaching (CET), University of Sydney has recently finalised an official review into acceptable minimum Homestay standards. The results of the review have now been published. The new standards were decided upon after input from DEEWR, ISANA and a selection of experienced Homestay Managers.
Other education providers may find this review of interest when considering their own homestay programs.
Standards to be met by USYD CET Homestay Providers
As from January 2012, the following standards must be met by the approved Homestay Providers for CET:
- An online portal which supplies individual logins for agents, hosts, students and institutions where appropriate 'real time' data and reports relating to current placements, arrivals and history can be monitored and accessed.
- A professional approach to ensuring that there is appropriate and compulsory (guaranteed) insurance cover for Hosts as determined by CET from time to time and in line with Industry expectations.
- Documented and guaranteed training for host families and supporting data to demonstrate the training has taken place.
- A documented agreement to be signed by all host families outlining appropriate policies and the host obligations.
- A documented and comprehensive approach to student orientation.
- A student policy which guides student expectations and outlines responsibilities of the host family and Homestay provider.
- A 24/7 Emergency and Critical incident phone support strategy which meets an acceptable and professional standard.
- An ongoing strategy for the management and accountability of all payments made on behalf of the student to the Homestay host.
As a service to future international students and their parents, CET will be displaying the minimum standards on its website. Only suppliers who agree to and demonstrate compliance with the minimum standards will be recommended to future students by CET. CET will also encourage newly arrived students to consider at least three months' Homestay

text: Like many homeowners who bought at the top of the market or refinanced, my home is worth less than I owe. My spouse has not worked in nine months and we asked our lender for a temporary modification, interim assistance to lower our payments. We don't qualify for a refinance because of the loan-to-value ratio and don't want private mortgage insurance. The response: we don't make enough money to warrant a modification. Isn't that why one seeks a modification, (because) a reduction in income puts a strain on your budget? We were not asking for a permanent solution or a write down of the balance, just temporary help. So what did they do next? They automatically set us up for a short sale and some (one) tried to force us to sell our home. I spent two weeks telling them we did not want to sell our home before they finally quit calling. I was told that they would rather receive a subsidy from the government for the short sale than modify my loan. So much for the consumer assistance programs. It seems the big banks would rather force you out than help you. I'll keep searching for some assistance and hopefully I'll be able to get away from (my bank) and soon. Ann Lyle, Auburn

AKRON -- Summit County Prosecuting Attorney Sherri Bevan Walsh is filing a motion Thursday, asking Judge Mary Margaret Rowlands to sentence John Edward Wise on manslaughter, a lesser-included charge of his conviction, and one firearm specification instead of on aggravated murder, his highest conviction, and one firearm specification.
Judge Rowlands will sentence Wise at noon Nov. 18.
"What Mr. Wise did was illegal and very dangerous. He killed someone, and he endangered the lives of everyone in that hospital," said Walsh. "However, the minimum punishment for aggravated murder with a firearm specification is life in prison with the earliest parole possibility after 23 years. As prosecutors, it is our duty to seek justice. In light of the unique facts of this case, a shorter prison sentence is just."
A jury found Wise, 68, guilty of aggravated murder, murder and felonious assault, all with firearm specifications, on Nov. 8. Wise shot his wife in the head, killing her, as she recovered from an aneurysm at Akron General Medical Center in August 2012.
When charges merge for sentencing purposes, as they do in this case, Ohio law dictates that the State elect the charge for which the defendant is sentenced.
The State typically requests that the judge sentence on the highest conviction. If sentenced on aggravated murder, Wise faces life in prison with parole eligibility after 23 years. If sentenced on manslaughter, Wise would be sentenced to six years in prison.

Q: What are strategies for earning the most miles by flying?
A: As much as possible, concentrate your earnings into a single program. If you earn 25,000 miles in one program during one year, you will earn both elite status in that program and a free award ticket. If you spread those same miles among several programs, you will earn neither elite status nor a free ticket.
Take advantage of bonus mile offers whenever they are available. Typically, these promotions provide extra miles on certain routes for a limited time period, or they may grant additional miles to travelers for long-haul flights. See SmarterTravel.com's Mile Finder for current bonus offers.
Use a mileage-earning credit card to buy your airline tickets. That way you get miles both for purchasing and for flying.
Be sure your earned miles are properly credited. Reconcile your statements!

Monday Dec. 30, 2008
NEW YORK (AP) -- The New York Jets will talk to Bill Cowher about their head coaching vacancy, a person familiar with the search tells The Associated Press.
The source says Cowher has expressed interest in the job that opened Monday, when the Jets fired Eric Mangini after three seasons.
The Jets also will meet with New York Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo on Saturday, according to another person familiar with the coaching search.
Jets owner Woody Johnson has made it clear that he prefers to keep football, business and coaching duties separate, so a candidate wanting complete control would be less likely to be hired.
The person tells the AP that Cowher has not given the Jets the impression he must have total control of personnel. The 51-year-old Cowher has worked as a studio analyst for CBS since resigning as the Pittsburgh Steelers coach after the 2006 season. He was also a candidate for the vacant Cleveland job, but told owner Randy Lerner that he has no intention of returning to coaching in 2009 and asked to be taken off the list of possible

Falling Away
It happens so quickly. Usually at dusk. You realize the air has a particular light chill to it in the waning sunlight of a long afternoon. And just like that, summer is ending. Oh, it doesn't mean there won't still be a random selection of days thick with heat…but the evenings – the evenings now belong to fireflies, couples holding hands, little kids in oversized sweatshirts licking ice cream cones and beach stained teenagers trying to make the summer last.
(via Design Seeds)
I have never made it a secret that summer is my most favorite of all of the seasons. But to be specific, I have favorite parts of summer…my most favorite being the beginning of summer…followed very closely by the end of summer. Something about the joy of having enjoyed and hopefully relaxed oneself thoroughly throughout the summer combined with promise of bustling schedules and reacquainting with school friends and the excitement of the upcoming whirlwind that takes us all the way into the holidays. It's a magical time.
So its time to pack up the blues and greens and whites and dole out the creams and raspberries and goldens.

Reviews by donhonk
A decidely solid followup to the greatest game of all time.donhonk | April 25, 2013 | Review of Deus Ex Human Revolution (1) - PC
As someone that will defend the original Deus Ex, jagged edges and all I couldn't help but be somewhat disappointed by the latest entry in the cyberpunk series. Its not even entirely the games fault. The original was just so ambitious and so revolutionary that the game stopped being a game and started being a legendary experiment in player choice. So its hard to live up to an icon, and Human Revolution does an intermittently good job of it. Streamlined RPG elements and stealth abound, yet lacking the free flowing environments and tons of choices that made the original such an innovator. Yet when it does hit those heights its almost as satisfying. So even though it doesn't succeed in beating the original, it still warms my heart to see a game try to have a modicum of intellectual design.

Business of… Awards
With all this fuss surrounding the latest Nobel Prizes, Kipp decided to check out awards. From the Booker to the Olympics, we see prizes that really matter (and a couple that don't).
October 17, 2010 2:20 by Samuel Potter
Nobel Prize
Kipp's importance rating: 9/10
The Nobel Prizes were established in 1895 by the will of Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite. The first prizes, awarded in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature and Peace were awarded in 1901. They are annually bestowed by Scandinavian committees, with each winner receiving a gold medal, a diploma and a sum of money.
Nowadays, the prizes are so coveted they stoke incredible passions in just about everyone you speak to. They have also been accused of being too political, thanks to a number of high profile recipients. Remember when Barack Obama, President of a country then embroiled in two armed conflicts, received the Peace Prize?
This month the awards are the centre of attention after naming a Chinese pro-democracy activist as the peace prize winner. China is furious, but most in the democratic world have welcomed the decision. So yes, sometimes they are controversial, but that could be because they're the most important awards on the planet.

The data exposed by the transaction and locking tables represent a glimpse into fast-changing data. This is not like other (user) tables, where the data only changes when application-initiated updates occur. The underlying data is internal system-managed data, and can change very quickly.
For performance reasons, and to minimize the chance of
JOINs between the
INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables, InnoDB collects
the required transaction and locking information into an
intermediate buffer whenever a
SELECT on any
of the tables is issued. This buffer is refreshed only if more
than 0.1 seconds has elapsed since the last time the buffer was
read. The data needed to fill the three tables is fetched
atomically and consistently and is saved in this global internal
buffer, forming a point-in-time "snapshot". If
multiple table accesses occur within 0.1 seconds (as they almost
certainly do when MySQL processes a join among these tables),
then the same snapshot is used to satisfy the query.
A correct result is returned when you
any of these tables together in a single query, because the data
for the three tables comes from the same snapshot. Because the
buffer is not refreshed with every query of any of these tables,
if you issue separate queries against these tables within a
tenth of a second, the results are the same from query to query.
On the other hand, two separate queries of the same or different
tables issued more than a tenth of a second apart may see
different results, since the data come from different snapshots.
Because InnoDB must temporarily stall while the transaction and locking data is collected, too frequent queries of these tables can negatively impact performance as seen by other users.
As these tables contain sensitive information (at least
INNODB_LOCKS.LOCK_DATA and
INNODB_TRX.TRX_QUERY), for security reasons,
only the users with the
PROCESS privilege are
allowed to
SELECT from them.
