Obama Vows To Use Nobel Glögg Prize To Push Socialist Agenda
President Obama has admitted he doesn't believe he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize that some glögg-saturated Norwegian political hacks awarded to him earlier today, but that doesn't mean he won't use it to push his socialist agenda.
In fact, he served notice today that that is exactly what he intends to do.
Organizing for America, a project of the Democratic National Committee, sent out this email today signed by the president:
This morning, Michelle and I awoke to some surprising and humbling news. At 6 a.m., we received word that I'd been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009.
To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who've been honored by this prize -- men and women who've inspired me and inspired the entire world through their courageous pursuit of peace.
But I also know that throughout history the Nobel Peace Prize has not just been used to honor specific achievement; it's also been used as a means to give momentum to a set of causes.
That is why I've said that I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations and all peoples to confront the common challenges of the 21st century. These challenges won't all be met during my presidency, or even my lifetime. But I know these challenges can be met so long as it's recognized that they will not be met by one person or one nation alone.
This award -- and the call to action that comes with it -- does not belong simply to me or my administration; it belongs to all people around the world who have fought for justice and for peace. And most of all, it belongs to you, the men and women of America, who have dared to hope and have worked so hard to make our world a little better.
So today we humbly recommit to the important work that we've begun together. I'm grateful that you've stood with me thus far, and I'm honored to continue our vital work in the years to come.
Thank you,
President Barack Obama

hi guys. i had been saving up for a Reba U turn for my bike, the lbs is selling 2007 u turn models for $460 (they are all out of 2006 models, so no discount for me). Though today I went to the shop and saw the RS Recon 351 (u turn model) and they are selling those for 225 dollars. this one has a little more travel than what my bike is designed around but i am thinking i could just simply keep the travel between 85 and 100 mm.
the recon 351 u turn is a coil shock, with external rebound and compression settings but floodgate is set internally and cannot be adjusted. most of my knowledge about suspension forks is what i have read and researched on the mtbr forum. i live in thailand and the lbs does not speak english at all so it is very difficult to ask them to explain technical know-how to me. also, i dont have anybody here i ride with so it is tough to get information offline. i basically (i think) have a second hand theoretical understanding of rebound and compression and floodgate, but no real time knowledge and i was hoping some of you folk could help me out here.
the way i am seeing it is, the recon coil vs reba air robs me a bit of the adjustability of an air spring. which means, besides other things, that with the recon i might have to take the headache of swapping out the stock coil if it seems under or over sprung for my weight? also, with the internally set floodgate on the recon i cannot mess around with compression settings by coupling it with different floodgate adjustments like i could have on the reba. do i have that right?
though, considering i am a total noob about stuff like this, and that i am coming off a manitou axel, i doubt such tech speak really applies to me? what i mean is the only fork i have really ridden is the axel which honestly i keep at locked out all the time. so, the way i figure it is any of these two forks would make a world of difference to me regardless of any particular technical abilities because, well i really dont have a first hand experience to compare ride qualities with except the axel....yes? and man, while i would love the reba, the recon is cheap!
anyway, i was wondering if you guys could give me any feedback on the Recon fork, if any of you have ridden it. also, i weigh between 175-180 pounds and was wondering if the default coil spring in the Recon is for me or will i have to get a harder/softer one? im thinking to save some money and go with the recon even though i would prefer to have the reba. what do you think?
ps, btw, if i have said anything stupid in this post kindly attribute it to my carefully crafted idiocy and not my wayward genes.

AbstractOur proposal supports the development and integration of sensor resource management algorithms in the operational BMDS by developing and modeling new network messages required to enable centralized control of sensors. The current message set on the system does not provide sufficient control to realize the full benefit of sensor resource management algorithms currently developed within MDA. In our Phase I proposal we will adapt an existing sensor resource management algorithm for use in the BMD Benchmark simulation as a baseline implementation for developing new network messages. We address fundamental questions such as (1) Which messages are essential? (2) How does the resource scheduler on the local sensor accommodate commands from the global planner? and (3) How do limitations imposed by a real communications network impact SRM algorithm performance at deployment? The DAC-GTRI Team is extremely well prepared to address these issues. DAC brings experience developing SRM algorithms for MDA applications through Project Hercules while GTRI is a lead developer of the Benchmark simulation used for integration testing and analysis by MDA/BC and MDNTB.

Basement of the Dead - Zombie OutbreakRead MoreThe cellar at 42 W. New York St. teems with terrifying secrets. According to legend, it once housed a laundry company where a faulty boiler exploded, burning two engineers who vowed revenge on their bosses. Soon, workers began disappearing, only to reappear in the nearby river, their arms still clutching perfectly starched shirts. Though the laundry closed, no business ever thrived there again. That cellar became the grisly playground of the two engineers—and is now known as the Basement of the Dead. But the engineers and their ongoing crimes aren't the only scares to be found in that place. There's also Shattered the Clown—a murderous performer armed with a sledgehammer. After his famous trick backfired and turned deadly, Shattered went on a rampage through the audience. He then hid in that same basement, going increasingly mad with only the souls of his victims to keep him company. He's since turned his part of the cellar into a colorful, terrifying 3-D circus. Basement of the Dead has earned numerous awards, including being rated the No. 1 Haunted House in Illinois and No. 23 in the Country by Hauntworld.com.42 W New York St.Aurora, IL US

After looking at various pages like OSR Online and NtInternals, it seems like
NtCreateProcess (and
ZwCreateProcess) specify that giving a handle to a memory section is optional!
Does this mean that we can have processes that are not backed by executable images? If so, what could they be (or are they) used for potentially? Does that mean we can copy an executable entirely into memory and subsequently even delete the file from the disk, and have the process continue running?? That would seem like a really useful feature.

The sudden increased interest in the subject of light therapy beginning with Rollier's contribution to heliotherapy and followed by the development of various types of ultraviolet ray lamps makes a plain statement by such an authority as Armand-Delille particularly timely. He has divided the subject into two parts. The first portion deals at great length with heliotherapy, including the historical aspects of the subject, general indications for treatment and special indications, such as climate, geography and season. Definite directions in the application of sunlight are furnished by the author. Besides treating the topic of tuberculosis as a whole, he discusses the clinical types separately. There is a section on treatment of rickets, pregnancy, skin disorders, infantile asthma and debilitated infants. The rôle of different types of open air schools and sun schools is elaborated in a valuable chapter on the normal child. The second and shorter part of the book

If you have a special place, you can send me the UK grid reference and I can pick some contour lines from that place and replicate them in the jewellery. You can find the grid reference from a site such as www.gridreferencefinder.com. Alternatively I will design the contour lines myself. Choose to have the cuff links with a brushed (matt) or polished finish. Each piece of my jewellery will arrive in an Alison Moore Designs branded box, finished with a ribbon. I also provide a free gift wrapping service and can add a gift card with your message. made from: The handmade cuff links are fabricated from Sterling Silver and hallmarked in the Edinburgh Assay Office. dimensions: They are approximately 1.5cm square and made from 1.5mm thick silver. product code: 162315 4 customer reviews Thu 06 Jun 2013 A truly individual gift beautifully produced, wrapped and dispatched. Highly recommend ! Wed 17 Apr 2013 The cuff links arrived promptly and were very well received by the person they were a birthday present for. Sun 14 Apr 2013 Perfect, thank you so much.

The Staff, Atmosphere and "Facilities" deserve 6 (six) out of five so 9.4/10 is a little low! The included breakfast (and handmade cake) is amazing, the owners (staff) go well out of their way to help you - they gave us all the information we needed, helped us plan days out when it rained, got us a discount at a local museum, helped make life easier with our baby and were very accommodating about our quirks! BUT the bus to Venice costs 2.80 euros single/person and walking to the bus stop... :(

It is our sincere pleasure to invite you to this year's Midwestern Regional Conference. Join us October 23-25, 2015, as together we experience three days of human rights learning, networking, and discovery, in the great city of Minneapolis, MN. The Midwestern Regional Conference is a three-day conference bringing together hundreds of Amnesty members and other human rights activists from around the country. Working with our Regional Conference Planning Committee, together we will continue our tradition of engaging in networking opportunities, inspiring plenaries, outstanding keynotes, and hands-on skill-building workshops, as well as shaping the policies of the organization.
Through interactive programs and workshops, exceptional speakers and engaging exhibits, the Regional Conference will facilitate discussions about human rights issues in the United States and around the world and motivate us to take action. As activists, we will be challenged to expand social awareness and initiate change within our own communities. This will only happen with you - we need you there!
Don't forget to follow us on Twitter at @Amnestymwro.
We would like to thank our Host Committee members for their work:
Linda Bloom, Bushara A Dosa, and Alison Kirgis.
We would like to thank our Planning Committee members for their work:

Ways to Support
The more people and support we secure for our Regional Conference, the more we will accomplish for the human rights movement, while ensuring an optimal experience for our attendees. Your participation in the conference is crucial to its success, so we all need to spread the word!
Here are a few ways you can help and show your support:
Consider Joining the Planning Committee
Please contact Suhayl Santana at email@example.com if you'd like to join the Planning Committee for Regional Conferences 2016.
Join the Host Committee
If you are attending the conference and can assist Amnesty International USA by promoting the event to your network of friends, family, and colleagues, you can join our Host Committee! This is the easiest way to show your support and it takes very little effort. Sign up now to have your name recognized on certain conference promotions including the event page.
We ask Host Committee members to confirm the following:
- If you are an individual, we ask that you confirm at least 6 attendees
- If you are an organization, we ask that you confirm at least 10 attendees
Amnesty International USA provides an email-able invite, along with Facebook and Twitter instructions to help you reach your goal. We will also provide you with a report to view all the attendees that confirm you as their Host Committee member.
Thank you for considering this opportunity, especially since a good percentage of our current members and activists first learned about Amnesty International at a Regional Conference!
If you'd like to join the Regional Conference Host Committee, please click here! Link to Regional Conference Host Committee Application.
Submit a Resolution
One of the exciting things about Amnesty International is that, as a grassroots membership organization, members have a voice in what Amnesty does. Resolutions are the means by which members of AIUSA have the power to affect policy decision-making at the regional, national and international levels. Submitting a resolution is your chance to exercise your democratic right as a member of AIUSA.
Please note that the deadline to submit a resolution for the 2015/2016 year was September 1, 2015 for non-students, and September 15, 2015 for students. The deadline is the same every year (Sept. 15 for students, Sept. 1 for non-students), so if you want to submit a resolution next year, you can get started early.
It's easy to submit a resolution! You provide the idea, and we'll help you put it in the proper format. Please contact the National Resolutions Committee at email@example.com if you have questions or would like more information about how to submit a resolution.
Submit a Proposal for a Session
AIUSA members and staff are invited to propose, help develop, and organize the sessions that you'll attend at the 2015 Regional Conferences. Your submissions help create a diverse and inclusive agenda for each conference every year while also helping to shape the regional dialogue for human rights activists.
If you are interested in completing an RFP for the Midwestern Regional Conference, you may access the proposal form via the Activist Resource Community (ARC).
The Midwestern Regional Conference Planning Committee is looking for volunteers to help out at the Regional Conference! If you are interested in volunteering for the Regional Conference, please fill out and submit the application by October 2nd. Volunteers are expected to volunteer for at least three hours, and in return, will receive free registration. Volunteers will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis. There are a limited number of spaces, so we encourage you to apply early.
Recruit Others
The more people attend our Regional Conference, the more we will accomplish for the human rights movement and the better experience everyone will have, so we all need to spread the word! Challenge yourself or your group to sign up at least 1, 2, or 3 more people! In fact, a good percentage of our current members and activists first learned about Amnesty International at a Regional Conference! Let's get to it!
Interested in making a monetary donation or donating in-kind services?
Our Regional Conferences count on the support of individuals like yourself to ensure we have another successful year. If you are a business owner or work for a local business and are interested in providing support to the conference via an in-kind gift, pro bono service or a monetary donation, we would like to hear from you. Event support from businesses enables us to enhance our conference and improve our attendees' experience, while keeping the costs down for our members.
We tailor each partnership to offer unique and highly visible marketing opportunities. Support for Amnesty International USA helps to demonstrate a company's support for human rights, while exposing its brand to hundreds of our loyal supporters, community leaders and members.
We are looking for businesses to assist with the following (this is a list of a few opportunities): videography, photography, underwriting a block of tickets/stays for youth to attend, venues to host social events, and companies interested in supporting the conference as local corporate supporters.
Please contact our Director of Events, Johnny Gonzales at firstname.lastname@example.com or 212.633.4181 for more information.

When the popular Fox program American Idol came to Seattle last September, American Idol judge Simon Cowell summed up the first day of the 9,000
When the popular Fox program American Idol came to Seattle last September, American Idol judge Simon Cowell summed up the first day of the 9,000 hopeful singers who tried out in two words: "absolutely atrocious". Because of this, I had to see how bad the singers were. The first couple weeks of episodes spend more time highlighting the rejects than those who will actually make it on, but I tuned in midway through the two-hour episode, to see those familiar faces - Cowell, and fellow judges Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson, turn down one person after another. I figure that half of those who tried out and landed a few precious minutes on television were only there to sabotage their performance, and push the judge's buttons. The rest were totally serious (or so the producers of the show lead us on to believe), like the twenty-seven year old computer geek who nervously sang a flaccid, out of tune "Unchained Melody," or twenty-three year old Kenneth from Bothell, and pal Jonathan from Renton, who really believed they had a chance. I almost felt bad for them. The show concluded with a montage of the rejects we saw earlier singing Pussycat Dolls "Don't Cha." For a city filled with "absolutely atrocious" singers, something host Ryan Seacrest said would never bring the show back to our fair city, the producers of American Idol sure as hell did everything in their power to exploit the disillusioned (and perhaps mentally imbalanced) contestants before they left. That's what I call absolutely atrocious.

Will definitely keep you updated! If you don't mind me asking, what was negative about your experience with Juvederm/ Restalyne? Did you get it in your tear troughs? What kind of doctor did it? Sorry to hear it was no good :( READ COMMENT

Big Ten championship game predictions
It is round 2 of Wisconsin-Nebraska, with the winner going to the Rose Bowl. Nebraska, not surprisingly, is the favorite to win. But what do those around the web think?
Well, let's just say most don't think the Badgers will be traveling to Pasadena again.
Here's a look:
- ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg and Brian Bennett: Rittenberg - Nebraska 27, Wisconsin 24 (OT). "The championship game ultimately will be a microcosm of both teams' seasons."; Bennett - Nebraska 28, Wisconsin 20. "Ultimately ... Nebraska's speed and depth wear down a very good Wisconsin defense on the turf with its endless array of sweeps and quick-hit passes."
- SI.com's Stewart Mandel: Nebraska 27, Wisconsin 10.
- CBSSports.com's Dave Carey: Nebraska 20, Wisconsin 17. "This game has the chance to be a low-scoring affair and the Badgers aren't good enough to run on first and second down and hope for an open man on third. Wisconsin must break tendencies to topple the Cornhuskers."
- ESPN.com's Will Harris (Insider): Wisconsin 24, Nebraska 23. Harris says the TeamRankings win odds for Wisconsin is 39 percent. Of Nebraska, Harris says: "We simply do not trust this bunch with our money and will believe this is a championship team when we see it."
- CBS Chicago's Adam Hoge: Nebraska 27, Wisconsin 24.
- Scouts Inc. (ESPN Insider): Nebraska 31, Wisconsin 24.
- Athlon Sports' Mitch Light: Nebraska 24, Wisconsin 14. Athlon's three other analysts are also picking Nebraska to win.
- Of the seven analysts at USAToday.com, only one is picking Wisconsin to win - Nicole Auerbach.
- Of the six analysts at CBSSports.com, only one is picking Wisconsin to win - Jerry Hinnen. More specificaly, Bruce Feldman says it will be 20-14 Nebraska.
- Four analysts at Lindys Sports pick Nebraska to win. The scores: 37-30, 28-21, 27-20 and 27-19.
- Lindy Sports' Mike Beacom: Nebraska 28, Wisconsin 24.
- Sporting News' Steve Greenberg and Matt Hayes: Greenberg - Nebraska 23, Wisconsin 20. "I'm wondering if Bielema has enough good coaching instincts to finish close games. The Badgers sure do some weird things down the stretch. P.S. Yes, of course this one's going to overtime."; Hayes - Nebraska 26, Wisconsin 24.
- Collegefootballnews.com: Wisconsin 27, Nebraska 23. "Each team will try to be more physical than the other; the Badgers will win that battle. The bigger key, though, will be the +3 turnover margin that will carry Bucky to a third straight trip to L.A. "
- BTN.com's Tom Dienhart and Brent Yarina: Dienhart - Nebraska 35, Wisconsin 33; Yarina - Nebraska 31, Wisconsin 20.
- Phil Steele: Wisconsin 27, Nebraska 24.
- The Chicago Tribune's Teddy Greenstein: Nebraska 34, Wisconsin 27. "Wisconsin is due after back-to-back overtime losses, but Nebraska's offense is simply too lethal."
- The Associated Press' Ralph D. Russo: Nebraska 24, Wisconsin 17.
- Omaha World-Herald's Sam McKewon (in a chat): Nebraska by 3.
- Scout.com's Benjamin Worgull: Wisconsin 27, Nebraska 24.
- Five of eight at TriCitiesSports.com pick Wisconsin to beat Nebraska. Did I mention this is the site from Curt Phillips' hometown?
- The Oklahoman's Barry Tremel: Nebraska 23, Wisconsin 17.

Hello, I'm new to this group.
I am 11 weeks with my first child, I'm 24, and have not told my parents. They live 2 hours away and I'm afraid to tell them. They are going to be so angry and disappointed. I expect them to be harsh and not understanding.
They have already started getting anxious because I don't drive the 2 hours to see them as often as I did when I was in college. I used to go home anytime they asked me to, basically, but since I've been dating my fiance (for 3 years), I don't come home nearly as frequently. He and my parents don't get along and its always totally stressful. Plus, I can't really afford the gas and the wear and tear on my car anymore.
I want to wait until I'm past the first trimester before telling them because I know how stressful it's going to be.
I worry about so much these days; namely, how to tell my dad. How should I break the news?
My dad will likely tell me: that my mom (who died when I was 10) would not be proud of me, that my man and I cannot financially support a baby, that I've disappointed and embarassed my family, and maybe other things, but I think those will be the main points.
Should I start the conversation by saying, "Dad, DH got a job and we are getting married. I am also pregnant." And then just let him react how he's going to?
Or, should I let him know up front that I've had a hard time deciding when and how to tell him this and that I understand how challenging this is going to be for us and basically try to reassure him that I'm mature enough to handle this?
My cousin, who has been through this before, recommended that I just act totally excited and like there's no reason for him to be anything but excited, too.
What do you guys think? I think that if my dad thought that I view this baby as a good thing, as a blessing, and if I'm excited, he'll just think I'm being naive and stupid and am not prepared for all the changes that are going to take place and all the new responsibilities. I remember when I told him that my cousin was pregnant, I tried to defend her and say that she would rise to the occasion and would get her shit together (get into cosmetology school) and would end up being a good momma. My dad thought I was ridiculous for being naive and optimistic like that. He said it was not happy, but in fact it was really, really sad.
I mean, its true that he could totally surprise me and not say anything hurtful at all, but instead tell me that he'll help me any way he can. I highly, highly doubt that though.
So how do I say it? Do I just come right out with it? (I'm telling him over the phone, btw.)

The only comprehensive mooncake study appears to be Sienna Parulis-Cook's 2009 masters' thesis for the School of Oriental and African Studies in London. In the 34-page paper, she cites a widely-held Chinese anecdote explaining how mooncakes were once "used by rebels to promulgate a major uprising against the Yuan Dynasty." Mooncakes were "big business" in urban China by the late nineteenth century, she adds, and about a century ago, they were stamped with patriotic slogans and incorporated into national day celebrations.
Mooncakes can be emotionally moving. Wang Xiao Jian, a 27-year-old woman in Beijing, told me of a song that her late-grandfather, a tailor, once sang to her in the years leading up to his death. It chronicled how soldiers in China's Red Army were retuning to their families and looking forward to teaching their grandchildren how to make mooncake. "It's the best memory grandpa gave me," she said.
Although salted egg and lotus seed-green bean are among China's most popular mooncake fillings, there are regional variations, such as nutty mooncakes in Beijing and extra-flaky ones in the eastern province of Suzhou. Mooncakes also vary widely across the Asia-Pacific region. Hong Kong, for example, has not yet seen "any mooncake having meat," says Dr. Chan Yuk Wak, a professor at Hong Kong's city university, while in Vietnam, traditional mooncakes are loaded with sausage, pork and lard.
Other, less official, mooncake tales abound. A brochure I picked up in the lobby of a hotel in Hanoi claims mooncakes were once "served only in Royal families." An English-language chapbook about the mid-autumn festival in Vietnam says mooncakes are best eaten three days after baking so that oil can better seep into their shells. And the website chinatownology.com cites a legend asserting that mooncakes were "instrumental" in China's overthrow of the Mongol dynasty because residents passed notes to each other, hidden in mooncakes, calling for an uprising.
But a common refrain across the region is that teens and 20-somethings are less excited about mooncake than their parents once were. According to Parulis-Cook, that could be because they don't like the taste, don't want to gain weight or are worried about food safety issues. Some young people in China and Hong Kong now eat uber-trendy mooncakes with names like "strawberry balsamic" or "Snowskin Banana with low-fat yoghurt." Others eat none at all.
Nguyen Manh Hung, a 29-year-old Vietnamese chef, says he would never give his mother, whom he calls "very traditional," a mooncake with a trendy filling like sticky rice or chocolate. However, he also thinks culinary innovation is healthy, and he buys more-adventurous mooncakes for his own nuclear family. "The traditional mooncakes are boring, and younger people don't like to eat them too much," he told me at the Hanoi Cooking Centre. "Nowadays it's fashionable to want something different."
Once a year, Hung bakes his own. It's a labor of love: Sugar water must be cooked and then distilled in water for an entire year before it can be incorporated into batter, and assembling a traditional Vietnamese mooncake — which can include about 10 different salted ingredients — takes up to two days.
He may be in the vanguard of a shift toward DIY mooncakes. Kho, the New York-based food blogger, says he bakes his own mooncakes in Harlem. And in Beijing, editors at the Chinese food magazine Betty's Kitchen tell Sienna Parulis-Cook, the American mooncake connoisseur, that although most apartments in China don't come with ovens, many Chinese are buying stand-along ones and learning how to bake sweets, including cookies and mooncakes.
Parulis-Cook, now 28 and a dining editor for a Beijing-based English-language magazine, once baked ice cream mooncakes with help from a recipe she found in Betty's Kitchen. But she doesn't much care for the taste of most mooncakes, and usually re-gifts the eight to 10 mooncakes she receives each lunar autumn from business associates to her Chinese colleagues.
Still she adds, "If I get more than my boss, it makes me feel really influential."

Last night I climbed back into the saddle. I took one month of from surgery (doctors advice) and it felt great to get back on!
I had gained about 5-6 pounds from not exercising and eating like a banshee lol. Water weight was worse than the actual weight gained, I was swelled horrible (probably from the soda)
Anyhow, Heart rates are higher as expected. but overall feels good.

Trade linkages and macroeconomic effects of the price of oil
In this paper we assess the impact of oil price shocks on oil-producer and oil-consuming economies. VAR models for different countries are linked together via a trade matrix, as in Abeysinghe (2001). As expected, we find that oil producers (here, Russia and Canada) benefit from oil price shocks. For example, a large oil shock leading to a price increase of 50% boosts Russian GDP by about 6%. However, oil producers are hurt by indirect effects of positive oil price shocks, as economic activity in their exporter countries suffers. For oil consumers, the effects are more diverse. In some countries, output falls in response to an oil price shock, while other countries seem to be relatively immune to oil price changes. Finally, indirect effects are also detected for oil-consumer countries. Those countries, which trade more with oil producers, gain indirect benefits via higher demand from oil-producing countries. In general, the largest negative total effects from positive oil price shocks are found for Japan, China, the USA, Finland and Switzerland, while other countries in our sample seem to have fared quite well during recent positive oil price shocks. The indirect effects are negative for Russia, Finland, Germany and Netherlands.
