In the midst of first lady Michelle Obama's campaign against child obesity and chef Jamie Oliver's prime-time TV initiative for cleaner cooking, a chicken chain is crowing about some aggressively fat-laden fare.
KFC's long-rumored Double Down waddles into stores on April 12, boasting an ingredient list that prompted a copywriters' caveat on the product's Web page that it is "Real! No fooling."
The bun-free ("so meaty, there's no room") sandwich features two pieces of bacon, two slices of melted cheese and "Colonel's Sauce" – which KFC officials said is a "zesty mayonnaise" - slathered between two chicken filets, either original recipe (540 calories and 32 fat grams per KFC.com) or the slightly slimmer grilled version (460 calories and 23 fat grams).

Huckabee Proposes the Re-education of the American Mind
Jim Burroway
March 31st, 2011
Former Arkansas governor and GOP presidential Mike Huckabee spoke at the Rediscover God in America conference in Iowa last weekend. Before launching into his speech, Huckabee gave a shout-out to Christian historical revisionist David Barton. Barton, who is touted as a "historian" at the conference despite having no discernible credentials, holds that America was founded as an explicitly Christian nation and presents what he calls a "holy history" of America. Last October, Barton called on the U.S. government to "regulate homosexuality."
Barton introduced Huckabee at he Rediscover God in America conference. Huckabee thanked Barton for his introduction and said, "I just wish that every single young person in america would be able to be under his tutelage and understand something about who we are as a nation. I almost wish there would be like a simultaneous telecast, and all Americans would be forced — forced, at gunpoint no less — to listen to every David Barton message. And I think our country would be better for it."
I seem to recall North Vietnam doing something along those lines…
Okay, I know that he appears to be joking — the audience is laughing as though he were. But remember, this is the guy who defended the suggestion that gay men with HIV should have been rounded up and quarantined back in the day. And when he said that, he definitely wasn't joking. In fact, he carefully parsed his message in order to try to make himself clear. So let's just say that I haven't the capacity for giving him even the smallest smidgeon of the benefit of doubt on this one.
Huckabee went on to call for "spiritual warriors" in a battle that "pits good against evil." Among those evils: marriage equality:
Other possible GOP contenders speaking at the conference included former House speaker Newt Gingrich, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), and Mississippi governor Haley Barbour.

- Teen spared prison in Lafayette murder
Lafayette officers made at least one referral to county social workers about family problems in Linda Damm's home before her daughter was arrested and accused of participating in her killing, Police Chief Paul Schultz said Monday.
Boulder County social workers insist they never received the referral - despite police paperwork showing a fax had been sent. They blame either a technical glitch in a fax machine or a "human glitch," such as someone inadvertently throwing away the report.
To prevent similar problems in the future, the agencies agreed to change the system. Police now will send in a weekly report about referrals they have made and social service workers will check it against what they received and then notify police.
Social services director Paula McKey said the referrals will be sent by e-mail so there is an audit trail.
"We have to move from here and make sure this type of thing doesn't happen again," McKey said following a meeting Monday with Schultz.
Police and social workers agree that even if the system had worked, there is little guarantee that the daughter, Tess Damm, would have been removed from the home or that Linda Damm would have sought alcohol counseling.
Tess Damm has been charged with conspiracy to commit murder, accessory to homicide and evidence tampering. Her boyfriend, Bryan Grove, 17, has been charged with murder and tampering with evidence.
Jared Guy, 18, was charged with being an accessory and evidence tampering after Linda Damm's decomposing body was found Feb. 27 stuffed in the back of her Subaru parked in the garage of her home, officials said.
Police knew of troubles between mother and daughter for at least a year before the killing. Twice, officers said they would refer the family to county social workers, first in May and then two months later in July.
Only the second referral was sent, Schultz said, in August, when clerks typed up the officer's dictated reports.
Police are investigating whether the other was sent, he said.
"We've used this system for seven years, and it's the first report of a problem," he said.
Officers visited the home six times in 2006, police reports show, mostly to return Tess - then 14 - after she was picked up late at night with friends.
Linda Damm would tell police she couldn't control her daughter and cared little about police efforts to help, records show.
In the first visit, Officer James Stafford picked up Tess Damm at 2:45 a.m. on May 29 on a curfew violation and brought her home when Linda Damm refused police requests to pick up her daughter. She told police she was ill.
There, Stafford found a seemingly-intoxicated mother who said she "did not care" if the officer called social services.
In his report, Stafford said he told Linda Damm that "if she did not take custody of her child, then she could be charged with child abuse and neglect."
In the second occasion, July 15, Officer David Self said he warned Linda Damm that "it was imperative that her daughter be taken care of and that if she had drinking problems, she needed to get help," according to his report.
Tess Damm told Self that her mother refused to allow her inside, had changed the locks and not provided her with a key, and had been investigated "for possible child abuse."
Linda Damm said the allegations were false and that she had difficulty keeping track of Tess. The report concludes: "Please forward a copy of this report to the Department of Social Services."
It was sent on Aug. 14, three days after it was typed up, Schultz said audit records show.
Yet even if the referrals had worked properly, McKey said, it is unclear whether Tess would have been removed.
"It's hard to assess how it would have gone," McKey said. "Even if (a) parent says I just can't control them any, we won't put kids in placement just for curfew problems."

South African mushroom growers have high hopes for the future
Following the political uncertainty of the past years,
By Leo van Griensven
As in the
Denny Mushrooms
Tongaat Mushrooms was the oldest and largest mushroom growing farm. A management buy out about a decade ago turned the company into the present day Denny Mushrooms. Denny is responsible for slightly more than 60% of total mushroom production in
Denny consist of three production units, the largest being Deodar in
Deodar has 32 growing rooms with shelving 6 tiers high; each room measures 720 square metres growing surface. Dynamic manager Roddy Cairns runs Deodar. Deodar was built by Voskamp and Vrijland and expanded initially by Agrisystems. The climate control systems, at least the newer systems, were supplied by AEM.
Deodar is not just interesting because of its size of 23,000 square metres; this is nothing unusual in Dutch circles. But just like everywhere in this part of the world, mushroom producers have to make their own compost and casing soil and pack, and if necessary, can, their own mushrooms. They also have to market their produce and use their own refrigerated transport.
In the
Other production companies
The second producer in South Africa is Highveld Mushrooms, near Johannesburg. The owner is Ross Richardson, son of Chris Richardson, who also started his career like Roddy Cairns at Tongaat.
Highveld Mushrooms has two tray companies with joint production of 52 tons per week.
United Mushrooms, formed by Mushrooms Cordon Bleu and Country Mushrooms, is close to the Cape Town area and produces 45 tons per week. The list of growers is completed by Medallion Mushrooms in nearby Stellenbosch that brings 17 tons onto the market weekly. The other 10 to 12 growers are small-scale, contributing 17,000 tons of mushrooms annually.
The market
After years of political uncertainty, South Africa faces a hopeful future; the gross national product is rising annually by about 3% and the government is pumping a great deal of funding into improving living conditions for the black population, starting with a programme of housing improvements and job creation. The effects are already visible, and the market for much agri-and horticultural produce is already improving.
Mushroom production is rising at an annual rate of 10% and average consumption by the white population is 2.4 kilos per year.
The price of mushrooms in the shops is similar to the Netherlands, but cheap labour keeps production costs lower.
Increased consumer spending power is not the only reason for this rise in sales. In the first place, the quality of the fresh mushrooms supplied is very high; growers - even the small ones - use their own refrigerated transport to supply their customers. Growers invest jointly in general PR activities. They also organise an annual 2-week mushroom festival with participation from 280 restaurants. This event attracts widespread coverage by the radio and TV. As in the Netherlands the costs are covered by an annual contribution from the growers, not as here in the form of a levy from a product board, but as a surcharge on spawn.
Concerning general collective interests the level of cooperation is high, and the costs are born by all involved. The surcharge is also used to finance contract research carried out by the University of Pretoria. This research is mainly aimed at finding an alternative for the casing soil currently used: as exploiting peat grooves is expected to be banned shortly. A notable fact is that the South African government doubles the amount paid by the growers for practical research - something that used to happen in the Netherlands.
All producers make their own compost. The raw materials used are wheat straw, chicken manure and gypsum. Horse manure is not used, as its composition is too variable. Larger companies use bunkers with spigot floors to provide fresh air for phase 1; smaller companies follow old composting methods in windrows - a technique with a total time of sometimes more than 20 days.
Generally, much care and attention is devoted to mixing in chicken manure, for example 40 % on day 2, 40 % on day 3 and 20% at the same time as the gypsum on day 8. The windrows and flat heaps are turned mechanically, and sometimes 2-3 day bunker treatments are used. Phase 2 is done either in tunnels or in trays in a Phase 2 room. Supplementing is common practice, sometimes at filling, otherwise at casing. The moisture content and compost structure is comparable to Dutch compost. Three or four flushes are harvested, with production between 270 and 320 kilos per ton of compost, depending on grading.
It's very interesting that the bunker process for Phase 1 at Highveld Mushrooms produces no odour emission. This can be explained by the fact that the material used is relatively dry, the chicken manure is added in stages and anaerobic conditions in the compost are avoided. Highveld Mushrooms also thank this achievement to advice given by German consultant dr. Hans Tschierpe.
Casing soil and spawn
This is the greatest problem facing growers in South Africa. Ancient black peat is used with a pH above 8. This peat is dug by the growers and contains relatively large amounts of roots and reed waste. The peat is mixed with light brown young peat and rinsed with added powdered calcium carbonate. It is carefully mixed, then the casing soil undergoes a Phase 2 process; pasteurised for 6 hours at 60 degrees Celsius, and 5 days at 50 degrees.
The casing soil is kept lumpy in appearance, with the end result being remarkable similar to the casing soil used in the Netherlands.
But there are two problems. The first is that black peat has a very high carbon content which causes low heading mushrooms to turn black. Not all growers can manage to make their mushrooms form pins higher.
The second concern is that peat in South Africa is considered limited and its use is expected to be banned shortly. There is a frantic search going on to find an alternative.
Spawn is supplied in South Africa by Sylvan, who have a factory there run by dr. Mart-Marie van Greuning. All the customary strains supplied in Europe are also available, including a brown strain that retains its fine colour throughout all the flushes. Oyster mushrooms and shii-take are hardly produced at all, and their spawn is supplied from elsewhere.
The major mushroom disease is 'wet bulb' caused by the Mycogone perniciosa mould. If casing soil is not pasteurised, this infection occurs rapidly and can infect the entire growing room, which then has to be cooked out to eliminate the mould.
As in the Netherlands many infections are caused by Verticillium fungicola; this is treated in the same way as in South Africa, with a copious amount of salt.
An advantage of mushroom growing in South Africa is favourable environmental planning regulations. The companies are well distributed, with often huge distances separating them. There were no flies or midges to be seen. The hygiene standards were good with well-ordered farms, neatly uniformed pickers and equipment such as trays being thoroughly cleaned with soap.
The future
South Africa is a dynamic, developing country. The majority of the population is at present poor and badly housed, but the government is making huge efforts to address these issues. The GNP is expected to grow explosively, especially as South Africa is rich in raw materials. South Africa is self-supporting, with the Cape Province supplying tropical and subtropical produce and excellent wines. Industrial production amounts to 25% of the GNP and service providers 65%.
Mushroom growing performs at a high level and is characterised by stable development with yearly growth that suits industrial developments and keeps pace with increasing wealth. There is plenty of room for expansion and export to neighbouring countries.
You have to meet high demands in order to survive as a mushroom grower in South Africa. An advanced degree of entrepreneurial spirit is the first requirement. A potential grower has to be able to manage all aspects of production, from preparing the raw materials to the cultivation process. Experience with multi-cultural relations is essential - plus it's handy to be able to speak Afrikaans, English and some words of Zulu and Xhosa. Finally, you have to ensure a steady market to supermarkets, vegetable traders and restaurants. Organised auction sales are non-existent and so are professional consultants ready to give advice via the telephone!

Bugzilla – Bug 123
Restore default SIGPIPE handler in children
Last modified: 2011-04-20 11:35:10 MDT
You need to
log in
before you can comment on or make changes to this bug.
It seems that jobs running under pbs_mom have the SIGPIPE handler ignored,
which can cause "broken pipe" errors from a simple "zcat test.gz | head", where
that wouldn't cause any errors under normal circumstances.
It looks like this is caused by the following line in mom_main.c, which is
presumably still needed:
sigaction(SIGPIPE, &act, NULL);
So can the default signal handler (SIG_DFL) for SIGPIPE be restored in the
subprocess that spawns the job? It's not possible to do this from within shell,
though it is possible to do it from Python and other scripting languages.

I'm assuming everyone has seen this before, a newbie asking for some advice on what kind of bike to get. Well I'm here to say, I'm absolutely no different. I'm interested in purchasing a fixie, and I have no idea what I'm looking for. My hope is to spend under $250, and I'm not willing to go over $300.
The most common bike brand I'm seeing in my area is purefix, which is over my budget. A friend of mine, who's on occasion allowed me to ride his bike, has a 6KU Nebula for $200~. I'm personally looking at a Vilano fixed gear bike - Amazon.com : Vilano Fixed Gear Bike Fixie Single Speed Road Bike : Fixed Gear Bicycles : Sports & Outdoors But the brand seems to get a lot of mixed reviews, with some saying it's great, and others saying how bad it is. I'm personally a big fan of drop bars, even if they are overrated. Other then that, I'm really just looking for some more options, and perhaps some personal experiences some of you guys have had with your first fixie.
Sorry if I seem like your generic newbie, but what can I say? I'm interested in some extra opinions.

Upcoming Blood Drives 2016
Unless otherwise noted, all canine blood drives take place at:
Rancocas Veterinary Associates
84 Mill Street
Mount Holly 08060
The Penn /Pet Aid Team Blood Donor Program
Is your dog eligible to become a blood donor? Yes, if he/she: - is a willing volunteer - is between 1 and 8 yrs old (new donors must be< 7 years old) - Is between 55 and 150 pounds - is up to date on vaccines and is in excellent health - is willing to donate 3-4x/year (locally) --Has blood that is type DEA 1.1 negative ( a simple blood test is performed on site)Why should you take part in the Penn/Pet Aid Team program?To Help Animals in Need Each unit donated can help save the life of a critically-ill dog. Many dogs need blood to survive during surgery, following trauma, or when they are suffering from anemia or bleeding disorders such as von Willebrand's disease, or rat poison ingestion. To Keep Your Dog Healthy - Every year, donors get routine blood screening. - At each donation, each donor receives one case of canned, or one 20lb bag of dry Science Diet dog food. - Should the need arise, each donor is eligible to receive free blood units at VHUP equal to the number donated in their lifetime. To Help Local Shelters/Animals: - We often end up with donated dog food at the end of each drive...which, in turn, is provided to local shelter groups. More donors = more drives = more food! - Also, by participating in a voluntary canine blood donor program, you can help ease the demand placed on those animals involuntarily housed in commercial blood bank kennels. Should Your Dog Donate Today? YES, if he/she... - has a good temperament and is a willing volunteer - is between 55 and 150 pounds.- is between 1 and 8 yrs old (new donors must be < 7 yrs="" old="" br="">- is up to date on routine vaccinations - is in excellent general health - has blood that is type DEA 1.1 negative (Penn will test for this) - has a normal hemoglobin level (Penn will test for this) NO, if he/she... - has been sick recently (e.g. coughing, sneezing, vomiting, diarrhea) - was vaccinated in the last 4 weeks - has received medications other than flea, tick, or heartworm preventative in the past 2 weeks (certain thyroid meds may be OK) - has had a blood transfusion - has had, or will have surgery in the past or next month - has any serious health condition, e.g. heart murmur - has donated blood in the past 6 weeks - is in season, pregnant or will be bred soon - is in a boarding kennel ...remember to tell the veterinary nurses about any concerns you may have What happens during a donation? - Prior to donation, nurses check the dog's health status and a sample of blood is taken from the front leg or the neck to test for anemia (hemoglobin). The rest of the blood is sent to the lab to do yearly testing if it is due. - The nurses place the donor on the table on his/her right side. - The owner sits at the dog's head, holding the pet's nose toward the corner of the table and provides soothing words. - Hair is clipped from a small area on the neck and the skin is cleansed with a mild disinfectant. - The nurse places the needle in the jugular vein and allows the pump to draw 400-450ml of blood (nearly a pint), which takes about 4-5 minutes. - The needle is removed and pressure is placed over the site for 1-2 minutes to allow a clot to form. - A food reward is given to the pet to let him/her know how grateful we are! What happens to your dog's blood? Each unit of blood is taken to the blood bank and separated into red blood cells and plasma. In some cases the blood is divided into products that treat platelet disorders and von Willebrand's disease. It is then stored until a transfusion is required by a patient. What you should do after the donation: - Tell the bloodmobile nurses if you notice dizziness or nausea immediately following donation - Restrict strenuous exercise for 24 hrs - Notify your veterinarian if: - the donation site is swollen or bleeding - your dog is lethargic or inappetant for a day or more What Do The Test Results Mean? Blood Type: Dogs have many different blood types. One blood type, DEA 1.1, has been shown to cause reactions in the recipient. Therefore, only dogs who are negative for this blood type, "universal donors," are enrolled in the blood program. Hemoglobin: This tests for anemia to make sure your dog can spare a blood unit. CBC/Chemistry Screen: These tests check for red and white blood cells, platelets, electrolyte levels and general organ function. Lyme---Erlichia---Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever---Babesia: These tests look for exposure to tick-borne diseases. Even though your dog may not be ill from these diseases, he/she could be a carrier. If your dog has a positive result, then the blood bank veterinarian will call you to discuss your dog's future as a blood donor. Also, please tell the bloodmobile nurses if your dog has been vaccinated for Lyme disease since the vaccine may lead to an increased antibody level. Heartworm: This test checks for adult heartworms in the donor. Notification of abnormal test results: You will be notified by Penn only if there is an abnormal test result. Please remember that you are responsible for any treatment of abnormalities detected. Need More Information? If you have additional questions about the canine blood donor program, or you would like participate in the program, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com

LAWTON, OK. (AP) - The chief of police in Lawton has resigned after 37 years on the force.
Chief Ronnie Smith informed the city Tuesday that he would leave the agency. The city named Assistant Chief James Apple as acting chief until a replacement is found.
In October, an arbitrator ruled that the former head of the department's special operations unit was unjustly fired, a ruling the city is appealing.
Assistant City Manager Bryan Long told The Oklahoman that Smith's resignation was voluntary and did not come about for disciplinary reasons. Long says there was nothing out of the ordinary about the chief leaving office.

Indian, U.S. Soldiers combine raid strategies during Yudh Abhyas 2010
November 5, 2010
By Spc. Ashley M. Armstrong, 94th Army Air and Missile Defense Command
Story Highlights
- Soldiers of U.S. Army Alaska, Indian Army combined strategies to conduct cordon and search training during Yudh Abhyas 2010
- Bilateral training held Nov. 5 at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson
- Training conducted in preparation for a field training exercise scheduled to begin Nov. 8

JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, Alaska (Nov. 5, 2010) -- Soldiers of U.S. Army Alaska and the Indian Army combined strategies to conduct cordon-and-search training at the Education Center on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson Nov. 5.
It was conducted in preparation for a field training exercise scheduled to begin Nov. 8 as part of the combined exercise Yudh Abhyas 2010.
"The training was a sharing of tactics, techniques and procedures between us and the Indian Army to prepare for what we are executing in the exercise," said Capt. Daniel Raymond, Bravo Troop commander, 1st Squadron (Airborne), 40th Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division. "These tactics will be utilized as part of one of the FTX scenarios."
The Soldiers began the day's training with an in-depth demonstration on Indian Army cordon and search procedures, which made differences in strategy between the two armies evident.
"The main difference that I saw was that they designated their specified teams a little differently than we have," Raymond said. "They had a search and interrogation team and a civil-action team, which is something we haven't had opportunity to train on here."
Differences in terrain, equipment availability and combat operations play a part in the varied strategies.
"They don't have the same support elements that we do, so for them, cordon and search is more important, and they execute it more often," said Sgt. Zachery Adkins, scout, Bravo Troop.
The training focus for the entire day was on raid procedures, including classes instructed by both armies with the intent of learning about and combining strategies, Raymond added.
"Our Soldiers typically don't see the big picture," Raymond said. "With this they get to see that we are not the only army that does operations like this, and [the Indian soldiers] have some good ideas that we can incorporate in our missions as well."
Both armies alternated instruction to better combine their individual procedures used for each operation.
"Sharing each other's tactics and techniques is important to get different insight and points of view and for different operations that we train in," added Adkins.
Raymond said it was a fun experience as well as educational. He said he was very impressed with the professionalism and organization of the Indian Army.
"We've got a group that already works well. They know what they are doing, and they can actually teach us some things," he said. "It is comforting to be able to share knowledge."
Combined training events not only offer opportunities to unify operations, but establish relationships as well.
"It's always great to work with somebody [who] is our ally, because this allows a base for further relationships. Having that friendship will make future operations a lot easier," Raymond said.

text: I am working on a DIY version of the classic old Eon board game, "Borderlands," and would really like to update the map. So far, I have made a jpg file of the coastline using good old AutoRealm and have toyed with filing it in with Gimp and Inkscape, but it all looks flat and unsatisfying. A couple folks have posted their redos on BoardGameGeek, but none of them do it for me. So I guess I would like some advice on a good method of taking my coastline image and gussying it up with terrain and seas. I would also like the "theme" of the board to be sort of post-apocalyptic/rebuild civilization, as that is the setting of the game. If anyone on the board is interested in this project, you can go to BoardGameGeek to see the game (http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/40/borderlands). And here's a link (http://boardgamegeek.com/image/265854/borderlands)to the board that I'm working on. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might have.

Nigel Foster
Pianist & specialist accompanist
Nigel was the piano accompanist at the Opera South New Year Champagne Reception, Concert & Dinner 2009, just as he was at the Twelfth Night Celebration New Year Concert 2008, and the Twelfth Night concert and the Soirée Music on a Summer's Evening in 2007. He also played at other events over the years such as Cinderella in 1999 when he played harpsichord instead of piano, as part of the augmentation of the wind quintet.
Nigel Foster was born in London. He studied piano at the Royal Academy of Music, at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama (with Graham Johnson), and also privately with Roger Vignoles. At both the Academy and the Guildhall, he won every prize and award available for piano accompaniment. In 2000 Nigel was appointed an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music.
Nigel is the Founder and Artistic Director of The London Song Festival. This is an annual event, launched in October 2007 to showcase and promote Nigel's principal interest and passion, the classical song repertoire. In 2010 the Festival celebrates French Song and Poetry, performed in atmospheric settings. The four concerts will feature two internationally known artists; tenor James Gilchrist and baritone Stephan Loges who will perform alongside a number of very exciting up-and-coming young singers who have all won major prizes in the past year. Details can be found on the London Song Festival website.
Nigel enjoys a busy schedule performing on the concert platform. He has played for instrumentalists including violinist Madeleine Mitchell, and for singers including Philip Langridge (Opera South President), Neil Jenkins, Jane Manning OBE, Ian Partridge, Stephen Varcoe, Sarah Walker, Yvonne Kenny, as well as many of Britains leading young singers. Nigel performs at major UK venues including the Wigmore Hall, the South Bank Centre, the Barbican Arts Centre, and St John Smith Square in London, and at St David's Hall in Cardiff. In his formative years, Nigel played for Graham Johnson's Songmakers Almanac, the Park Lane Group, and several opera companies including Glyndebourne.
Nigel has worked with the great conductor Sir John Eliot Gardiner, and he has particularly happy memories of his time as a rehearsal pianist for the late Sir Georg Solti, playing for singers including Renée Fleming, Angela Gheorghiu, and Roberto Alagna. Nigel has played for masterclasses for Sarah Walker, Sherrill Milnes, Nelly Miricioiu, Thomas Hampson, Tom Krause, Stuart Burrows, and Ileana Cotrubas, and works closely with Sarah Walker in the Vocal Department at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
Nigel's musical interests range from the baroque right through to contemporary music. With various singers, he has given premières of works by many leading composers including John Metcalf, Alun Hoddinott, Richard Causton, Julian Philips, Edward Rushton and Huw Watkins.
Nigel's many CD recordings include several discs of contemporary music and anthologies of songs of Alun Hoddinott and Mansel Thomas with baritone Jeremy Huw Williams for the Sain label; "Songs from Latin America" with soprano Marina Tafur for the Lontano label; several CDs with the Dolmetsch Ensemble; and collections of English song with Stephen Varcoe. He features on the soundtrack of the French film "L'Homme est une femme comme les autres".
Nigel has performed extensively all over Europe (France, Germany, Spain, Greece, Portugal, Ireland, the Netherlands), in Asia (Japan, Malaysia), and in the Americas (USA, Canada, Colombia). He has radio and television credits in both Britain and continental Europe.
An association with Opera Plus led to regular playing and coaching in Belgium, where Nigel enjoyed indulging in the local chocolates. Nigel has appeared on English and Welsh television and played for song recitals on Classic FM and French radio.

The traditions that indicate his knowledge
Comprised of six traditions
722. `Iqd al-durar1: From al-Ḥārith b. al-Mughaira al-Naḍrī [al-Naṣrī] who said:
I asked (Imam) Abū `Abd-Allah al-Ḥusayn b. `Alī, peace be on him, "(What are the attributes) of Imam al-Mahdī that he can be recognized with?" He replied, "Serenity and dignity." I asked, "What else?" He said, "[He will] gave [complete] knowledge about the permissible (ḥalāl) and the prohibited (ḥarām) and the people will need him but he will not need anyone."
723. Kamāl al-dīn2: `Alī b. Aḥmad b. Mūsā, may Allah be satisfied with him, from Muḥammad b. Abī `Abd-Allah al-Kūfī, from Muḥammad b. Ismā`īl al-Barmakī, from Ismā`īl b. Mālik, from Muḥammad b. Sinān, from `Amr b. Shimr, from Jābir, from (Imam) Abū Ja`far, peace be on him, who said:
The knowledge of the Book of Allah, Mighty and Majestic be He, and the sunna of His Prophet, Allah's blessings be on him and his family, will grow in the heart of our Mahdī like the finest things that a crop can grow. Whoever amongst you survives to see him must say when he sees him, "Peace be on you, O People of the House of Mercy and prophethood and the source of knowledge and the position of Messenger-ship."
724. Ghaybat al-Nu`mānī3: `Alī b. Aḥmad, from `Ubaid-Allah b. Mūsā al-`Alawī, from Abū Muḥammad Mūsā b. Hārūn b. `Īsā al-Ma`badī, from `Abd-Allah b. Muslimat b. Qa`nab, from Sulaimān b. Bilāl, from (Imam) Ja`far b. Muḥammad, peace be on him, from his father, from his grandfather, from (Imam) al-Ḥusayn b. `Alī, peace be on them all, who said:
A man came to Amīr al-Mu'minīn, peace be on him, and said, "O Amīr al-Mu'minīn! Inform us about your Mahdī?" He replied, "When the things that must pass away, pass away; the believers become rare, and the troublemakers perish, it is then, it is then." The man asked, "Which [tribe] does this man belong to?"
He replied, "He is a Hashemite, the most exalted of the Arabs, a sea to which all waters pour into, a sanctuary for those who seek refuge, and the pure source when others become murky. He doesn't cower when death attacks, doesn't weaken when death shows its face, and doesn't recede in the clashes in which the heroes fall. He is a skilled winner, a defeater, a lion, reaper [of the enemies], and fearless. He is a sword from the swords of Allah. He is a chief who possesses all goodness, is from a great glorious family, and whose glory originates from the best of roots. Let none of those who hasten towards mischief, speak the evilest of words, and hide their corruptions inside them when keeping silent, prevent you from pledging allegiance to him."
He then returned to describing the attributes of the Mahdī, peace be on him, and said, "He is the most generous in giving refuge, the most knowledgeable, and the kindest of you to his kin. O Allah! Make his advent an end to sorrows and unite the umma by him. If Allah chooses goodness for you, be determined and do not deviate from [the Mahdī] if you have success in reaching him and don not turn away from him if you are guided to him." Then, [Amīr al-Mu'minīn, peace be on him] sighed and pointed at his chest with his hand and expressed his eagerness to see him.
725. Sunan al-Dānī4: Ibn Shaudhab said: "He is called the Mahdī (the guided one) because he will guide to a mountain from the mountains of Syria and will bring out of it the Scrolls of the Torah (asfār al-turāt) and argue by them against the Jews; consequently, a group of Jews will accept Islam at his hands."
The following traditions endorse the above concept: 726 and 1182.

Green Technology Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB:GTSO) announced today that its potential joint venture partner, Chery Minerals, LLC, has received investment interest from Richardson GMP, Canada's preeminent wealth management firm.
"With gold prices near record highs, the time to capitalize on these opportunities is now," said GTSO CEO Paul Watson. "We are encouraged to see the interest from GMP as it underscores our expectations for the Chery Minerals alliance. Underdeveloped territories in Africa are poised to yield enormously profitable mineral deposits."
Richardson GMP is not the only major player intrigued by the investment opportunity presented by junior gold developers. Billionaire investor Phillip Frost recently purchased a large piece of Sagebrush Gold at 50 cents per share.
"Clearly, Dr. Frost sees the same growth potential in mining development that we do," Watson said. "Once our agreement with Chery Minerals is finalized and work can begin, we expect to continue to draw the same kind of interest that GMP has shown and that our colleagues at Sagebrush have garnered from big investors."
GTSO is currently in the process of negotiating a joint venture agreement with Chery Minerals, which is currently working to develop new gold resources in the African nations of Mali, Burkina and Ghana for export and refinement.
GTSO plans to service a fast-growing global demand for rare and precious metals to compete in an exciting sector that includes Almaden Minerals Ltd. (AMEX: AAU), New Gold Inc. (AMEX: NGD), SPDR Gold Shares (NYSEArca: GLD) and Barrick Gold Corp. (NYSE: ABX).

Three weeks after the birth of her gorgeous, precious baby girl, my husband and I visited my friend. Aside from the fact that she did not look like she had just given birth (which made me sort of hate her), my friend had a new bauble on her finger.
I squealed with delight!
Her new David Yurman ring sparkled and glowed just as much as the new mom did. It was a "push present" from her husband.
Never heard of one before? Wiki says a push present is "a present a new parent gives a new mother when she gives birth to their child." I say a push present is a happily accepted but unnecessary gesture from new dad to new mom, much like a first anniversary present from a new husband to a new wife.
As I'm about to do a lot of pushing (less than 5 weeks to go!), the topic of push presents has come up a lot by some friends. They don't even ask if I want one- they simply ask what I've picked out… which is nothing. Yet.
Oh and a funny side note- Many of their husbands thought their wives were making up the idea of the push present, until knowing husbands confirmed its existence.
I'm not someone who ever makes a birthday wish list, and in fact my last wish list was probably in a note to Santa at age 8. My husband and I love giving each other gifts, but they are mostly given just because instead of for a special occasion. I don't think I deserve a push present, but at the same time I would never turn away a sparkly thing given with love.
What do you all think? Are push presents thoughtful or excessive? Did you get a push present? What was it?
Sabrina, the writer behind the healthy living blog, RhodeyGirl Tests, is expecting her first baby this September with her husband Trig. You can read other pregnancy related posts on her blog.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina's unemployment rate has hit its lowest mark in more than three years.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said Friday that the state's jobless rate in March fell to 8.9 percent.
That figure marked the eighth straight monthly decline for South Carolina unemployment, which has often been among the highest in the nation during the past several years.
In December 2008, state unemployment hit 8.8 percent. It has since fluctuated, reaching a record high 12.5 percent in January 2010.
But the state's jobless number has drifted downward since August, when it crested again at 11.1 percent.
Gov. Nikki Haley planned to talk about state unemployment in Irmo later Friday.

P.E. Central Lesson Plan: Grocery Shopping
Prerequisites:Exposure to addition principles and money and basic underhand throwing.
Purpose of Activity:The purpose of this activity is to improve addition skills by using money and to improve the skill of throwing.
Suggested Grade Level:1-2
Materials Needed:Beanbags; small balls; and laundry baskets Physical activity: Throwing
Lesson Plan:Description of Idea
Scatter beanbags and balls around the general space. Each ball or bean bag needs to be labeled as a type of food (orange balls would be Oranges, bean bags could have green beans written on them, etc.) and have a monetary amount (price) printed on them. Students will be paired up with a partner.
Tell the students that they are in a grocery store and they have a
set amount of money that they can spend (set the money limit prior to
each shopping spree, for example $10.00). Partners are to travel around the store with one person holding the shopping basket and the other person picking up (buying) the groceries. The person picking up the food is to throw the food into the basket different ways using different hands (right/left), levels (low/medium/ high), and pathways (straight/curved/zig-zagged) while the two of them are traveling around the general space.
The basket holder is to catch the food at different levels, distances, etc. Once half of the allotted limit has been spent they are to switch positions. When they have reached their limit, then they can throw and catch with any "food" in their basket until the signal is given to stop. Repeat the activity with a new money limit.
Groups can carry pencil and paper around the store with them so that they can add as they go along. Specify a particular way to throw with each trip, (i.e.,) throw with your non-dominant hand only, throw at a low level only.
Instead of labeling equipment, teachers can have students cut out pictures and place them beside different pieces of equipment, play money can be used for throwing activities. Other math concepts can be included such as estimation, addition, subtraction, problem-solving.

text: 24 Oct: 2013: Vietnamese Catholics have responded to the appeal Pope Francis launched during the Angelus on Sunday by praying for the victims of the earthquake in the Philippines, their families and survivors. Bishop Paul Bui Van Dọc, president of the Vietnamese bishops' conference, expressed his deep sadness over the natural disaster that hit the Central Visayas 15 October and extended his condolences to its survivors, in particular those in the areas of Bohol and Cebu. The prelate also assured Filipinos the solidarity of the people of Vietnam, both Catholics and non-Catholics.Meanwhile, the National Secretariat of Justice and Peace of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines continues to help quake victims. Two of its teams have been hard at work in Bohol, checking damages and organising emergency aid. A powerful 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit the central Philippines (Central Visayas), killing more than 190 people. Many buildings, including old churches dating back to the Spanish colonial era, suffered major damage. Over three million people have been more or less seriously affected by the earthquake in eight cities and 52 municipalities.Currently, 111,000 Bohol residents are housed in government camps; many others live in tents because of incessant aftershocks.All the dioceses of the Philippines are mobilised in a fundraising campaign. For now, the priority is to help the victims; only at a later date, plans to rebuild destroyed churches will be examined.Source: Asianews

Saucedo honored with building dedication
August 24, 2012
By Mr. Mark Iacampo ( Hohenfels )
HOHENFELS, Germany -- The Hohenfels Military Community gathered recently to witness the renaming and dedication of Building 10 in honor of a former Hohenfels garrison deputy commander who left an indelible impression on the community and everyone who knew him.
The Chris J. Saucedo Soldier and Family Readiness Center opened after a moving ceremony where family members, friends and former co-workers eulogized a man who epitomized the noncommissioned officer creed of putting his Soldier's needs before his own.
Saucedo enlisted in the Army at the age of 31, and defied all odds as he quickly went up the ranks to sergeant major. He continued serving his country for another 15 years, including 10 as deputy to the garrison commander in Hohenfels from Feb. 1999 -- July 2009. He passed away Aug. 31, 2011.
"Today we will memorialize the contribution of Chris (Saucedo) by dedicating this wonderful and important community building in his name," said John Cavanaugh, USAG Garmisch garrison manager. "So why this building you ask? I think the name says it all. Soldiers and families. That's what Chris was about every day here at Hohenfels. He gave his full energy in taking care of those folks while he was here. Every member of the Hohenfels community -- Chris' community -- must pass through these doors, so it is here where Chris' spirit and vision will live on."
"This is quite an honor for this family," said Saucedo's wife of 37 years, Teresa Saucedo. "He always loved Hohenfels. This was his community, and for this to be taking place is just awesome."
"As a leader he was highly committed to the lives of every person in Hohenfels, and as a person he was a true inspiration by never letting anything keep him down. Every single day he made a difference in someone's life. And he's still doing it to this very day," said Stayce Downing, Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation director.
Downing added that the FMWR will now host a yearly golf tournament in Saucedo's name, the first held last month on July 26.
The family unveiled the new sign in front of the building, and then cut the ribbon for the crowd to venture inside where a plaque and photos adorn the wall, honoring Saucedo and his dedication to Hohenfels.
"I cannot begin to tell you the overwhelming flood of emotions that overcame me when I learned of this dedication ceremony," said Marissa Saucedo, daughter of Chris J. Saucedo. "I am truly humbled and honored today, and I thank you all for recognizing my father and his character as someone to be emulated and never forgotten."

How even a small number of mobile users can have a powerful impact.
A common excuse online companies use for not investing in a mobile channel is that they feel few consumers will use it. What they fail to realize is that those relatively few mobile users will likely be more engaged, and thus more valuable than the typical consumer.
That's the interesting point Forrester Research Inc. made in a recent case study highlighting how online review company Yelp.com is leveraging its mobile app users to make its reviews web site more robust.
Yelp.com only has about three million monthly app users—a much smaller number than the 45 million who visit Yelp.com each month. But what Yelp realized was that it could use those engaged mobile users to make Yelp.com better.
For example, Yelp's app users can upload pictures of a place, from a restaurant to a hair salon, from their mobile devices. Those mobile shots don't just stay in the mobile realm, they are added to Yelp.com too, making reviews more colorful and informative. Today, Yelp says it receives an image from a mobile device every 30 seconds.
Yelp's app also lets users take notes about a place while they are there. That way, when a Yelper gets home to write her more lengthy analysis, she won't forget to mention that the bathrooms were dirty or that the garlic mashed potatoes were heavenly.
These are just a few examples of Yelp.com's smart approach to mobile. For more examples, check out the Internet Retailer story here.
Yelp and Forrester make a great case for all companies to invest in mobile. Because even if a mobile channel is small, it can still pack a potent punch. And the growing number of smartphone owners means the number of consumers accessing retail web sites from mobile phones is steadily growing.

text: Open university: Joi Ito plans a radical reinvention of MIT's Media Lab Magazine Features 15 November 12 by David Rowan This article was taken from the November 2012 issue of Wired magazine. Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing online. Joi Ito, 46-year-old director of MIT's Media Lab since last September, has just selected the faculty's newest outpost: the troubled streets of downtown Detroit. "I was in a rough neighbourhood there yesterday, where there are miles and miles of bombed out buildings, and it just blows your mind to see a bunch of kids building urban farms," he says back in his office in Cambridge, Massachusetts. "They have no streetlights. If you connect a streetlight to the grid, it gets controlled by the city and regulated. So they're thinking, how can we create solar-powered low-cost streetlights, as that will lower crime? They have a maker space in a church, a place where the kids can learn how to build a computer, a bike shop where they can learn how to do repairs. The kid who runs this place, Jeff Sturges, is awesome.We're sending a bunch of Media Lab people to Detroit to work with local innovators already doing stuff on the ground."Welcome to Ito's vision for opening up the 27-year-old Media Lab, one in which -- for example -- urban agriculture might be researched in Detroit; the arts in Chicago; coding in London; and in which any bright talent anywhere, academically qualified or not, can be part of the world's leading "antidisciplinary" research lab. "Opening up the lab is more about expanding our reach and creating our network," explains Ito, appointed director in April 2011. His prior career spans venture capital and angel investing, Creative Commons and the Mozilla Foundation, nightclub DJing and cofounding the first Japanese internet service provider -- but he never actually earned an academic degree. Although, as Ito sees it, the formal channels of academia today inhibit progress. "In the old days, being relevant was writing academic papers. Today, if people can't find you on the internet, if they're not talking about you in Rwanda, you're irrelevant. That's the worst thing in the world for any researcher. The people inventing things might be in Kenya, and they go to the internet and search. Funders do the same thing. The old, traditional academic channel is not a good channel for attracting attention, funding, people, or preventing other people from competing with you. "Being open, you're much less likely to have someone competitive emerge and you're also much more likely to find somebody who wants to come to work with you. Innovation is happening everywhere -- not just in the Ivy League schools. And that's why we're working with you guys [at Wired] too -- in the old days, academics didn't want to be in popular magazines. Openness is a survival trait."By opening up the Media Lab, Ito hopes to move closer towards his goal of "a world with seven billion teachers", where smart crowds, adopting a resilient approach and a rebellious spirit, solve some of the world's great problems. His is a world of networks and ecosystems, in which unconstrained creativity can tackle everything from infant mortality to climate change. "We want to take the DNA [of the lab], the secret sauce, and drop it into communities, into companies, into governments," he says. "It's my mission, our mission, to spread that DNA. You can't actually tell people to think for themselves, or be creative. You have to work with them and have them learn it themselves."The lab, opened in 1985 by Nicholas Negroponte and former MIT president Jerome Wiesner as part of MIT's School of Architecture and Planning, was intended from the start to foster antidisciplinary thinking. It was, according to a 1984 briefing document by Negroponte, "designed to be a place where people of dramatically different backgrounds can simultaneously use and invent new media, and where the computer itself is seen as a medium -- part of a communications network of people and machines -- not just an object in front of which one sits." The same document -- written the year the Apple Mac was born -- stated: "Today, computers are awkward, if not debilitating, to use. The average so-called personal computer arrives with unreadable documentation, the bulk and weight of which usually surpass that of the machine itself." So how does the lab remain relevant in an era of sentient, voice-recognising and multi-sensor-embedded smartphones?To Ito, that role is not about creating spun-out products -- although celebrated products spawned by the lab include Guitar Hero, the Kindle, the XO laptop, LEGO Mindstorms, and the foldable CityCar. As Ito sees it, the lab's mission "is to come up with ideas that would never be able to occur anywhere else because most places are incremental, directed and disciplinary". And that means turning the lab into a platform rather than a physical place. "Nicholas comes from a slightly top-down, design-led background. I come from a very unorthodox community-building place --Creative Commons, Mozilla, Witness, Global Voices -- which are all about creating movements. To me there's a science to community building. If you extend the Media Lab as a network, and bring in different types of partners and nonprofits, and create more diversity, the lab itself could become a mission, a movement. People think of the lab as a lot of smart people in a really cool-looking building making really cool gadgets. But I want it to have a much stronger normative political message -- a lot of the kids at the Media Lab today don't want to make more money, don't want to become immortal, they just want to figure out how to fix this unhealthy system we have. There are lots of kids who are not happy with this massive consumerism, this unsustainable growth, but who have really smart science and technology values. That's a type of person we can draw into what I think will become a movement." And that will come from pursuing distinctly unconventional research goals. "We aim to capture serendipity. You don't get lucky if you plan everything -- and you don't get serendipity unless you have peripheral vision and creativity. [Conventional] peer review and scholarship play by predetermined rules -- that five other people agree that what you're doing is interesting. Here, even if you're the only person in the world who thinks something's interesting, you can do it. Our funding model allows our students to do anything they want without asking permission. It's like venture capital: we don't expect every experiment to succeed -- in fact, a lot are failures. But that's great -- failure is another word for discovery. We're very much against incrementalism -- we look for unexplored spaces, and our key metrics for defining a good project are uniqueness, impact and magic."

Rep. Steve Israel Wants Enhanced Ban on 3-D Printable High-Capacity Magazines
National & World News
Rep. Steve Israel (D-Huntington) is calling for a revamped version of the Undetectable Firearms Act which is set to expire soon.
Major developments have occurred this week in the advancement of state and federal gun control legislation, one month after the tragic shooting deaths of 20 children and 6 adults at a Connecticut elementary school. Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the NY SAFE Act, which bans assault weapons, limits the capacity of magazines to seven bullets, and establishes a statewide database of handgun permits, as well as intensifying punishments for criminal use of illegal weapons, among other measures.

History of Wilson College
Wilson College is a residential community of nearly 500 undergraduates. Its nucleus is Wilcox Hall, which contains dining, social, and educational facilities, including the Julian Street Library of more than 10,000 volumes, and the Julian Street Computing and Media Center. Around Wilcox are dormitories for members of the College -- 1937, 1938, and 1939 Halls; and Dodge-Osborn, Gauss, Walker and 1927/Clapp Halls. The College was named in honor of Woodrow Wilson, who had sought unsuccessfully to establish a plan of residential colleges at Princeton during his tenure as president in the early twentieth century.
The College evolved from Woodrow Wilson Lodge, which was founded in 1957 by a dozen members of the Class of 1959 'to provide a place where individuals . . . could be accepted for who they are.' Membership burgeoned several years later when Darwin R. Labarth '61, a class officer, led a large group of his classmates into its ranks. Madison Hall, one of the University's dining halls, served as the common dining and social facility until 1961, when the organization moved to the newly completed Wilcox Hall. It thereupon changed its name to the Woodrow Wilson Society to reflect the wider objectives and diversity made possible by its new facilities and by the inclusion of sophomores in its membership.
In these early years, social activities -- hayrides in horse-drawn wagons, rock bands, dances, and the like -- were made possible by fees paid voluntarily by members who wished to participate. The University provided money for educational purposes, spent with the advice and consent of the Master-in-Residence. As part of its effort to integrate the social and intellectual sides of undergraduate life, the Society sponsored foreign-language tables, evening lectures, art exhibits, music recitals, film series, and poetry and informal play readings. These activities were strengthened by the faculty fellow program, which brought faculty members into the life of the Society and enhanced informal contacts between faculty and students.
In 1967, Julian Jaynes, then master-in-residence, proposed to the University that the Society become a truly residential entity. Accordingly, Woodrow Wilson College was created the following spring, with membership open to all four classes. Whereas previously members had lived in scattered dormitories, they were now required not only to eat at Wilcox but also to reside in the dormitories in the surrounding quadrangle. In addition to the master, an associate master and two assistant masters-in-residence were named. Apartments in the dormitories were set aside for eight resident faculty fellows; the number of associate fellows swelled to nearly a hundred. Resident advisers were appointed among the junior, senior, and graduate student members to advise incoming freshmen, and a faculty member was named academic adviser. The College itself continued to be directed by student officers and committees chosen by the membership.
Wilcox Hall was remodeled to provide study carrels, seminar rooms, an art studio, a coffee shop, a darkroom, and a small theater in the basement. A successful drama program, which produced several plays each year, a weekly film series, and a literary magazine, the Catalyst, were among the tangible results of this reorganization.
From 1966 to 1968, student-initiated seminars were offered in an experimental college, founded under the leadership of Daniel Altman '67. In the early 1970s, the Woodrow Wilson 'Knight' School provided training in such areas as auto mechanics, bartending, drawing, music theory, baking, foreign languages, bicycle repair and maintenance, and bridge.
Masters-in-residence have greatly contributed to Wilson's success since its inception: James Ward Smith, Professor of Philosophy; Julian Jaynes, Lecturer in Psychology; John V. Fleming, Professor of English; Henry N. Drewry, Lecturer in History; Norman Itzkowitz, Professor of Near Eastern Studies; Miguel Centeno, Professor of Sociology; Marguerite Browning, Associate Professor of Linguistics; and Eduardo Cadava, Professor of English.Source: Alexander Leitch, A Princeton Companion, copyright Princeton University Press (1978).
In 2015, the masters of the residential colleges at Princeton University changed their titles to "head of college,".
"The former 'masters' of our six residential colleges have long been in conversation with the Office of the Dean of the College about their anachronistic, historically vexed titles," Dean of the College Jill Dolan said. "We believe that calling them 'head of the college' better captures the spirit of their work and their contributions to campus residential life."

This is one of my favourite quote.
We all are bound by our mental habits. Habits which put us in a comfort zone. Comfort zone which we rarely step out of.
The only problem with comfort zone is that we are stimulated by the same kind of things day in and day out. Get up, go to office, work, hangout with friends and go to sleep. Our brains map it out, we get used to the routine, their is nothing new, nothing exciting.
Example – listening to a new song – it is exciting for the first few times but afterwards the excitement just wears out.
This is a phenomenon known as Hedonic Adaptation. You get so used to the routine that you don't really have to be engaged by it.
How do we hack this? How do we really experience life?
We do that by stepping out of comfort zone.
Start with little things –
Try new food.
Take a different route to work.
Take measured risks.
get your heart broken
help people, smile, take that one extra step, at the end of the day it will be worth it.
