Back from surgery, Kuehne is struggling
CARLSBAD Kelli Kuehne has as much pride as anyone playing on the LPGA Tour. She has a résumé that most American female golfers would gladly take: three USGA titles, one LPGA victory, $2.2 million in career earnings in 11 years.
"An amazing career," Kuehne says.
Which is why it could have been beyond excruciating Thursday when Kuehne suffered five double bogeys, shot 45 on each nine and finished with an 18-over-par 90 in the first round of the Kia Classic at La Costa Resort and Spa.
Yesterday, Kuehne played much better in the second round, still shot 10-over 82 and finished last at 28-over par in a field of 143. Over 36 holes, she was 35 shots to the rear of leader Hee Kyung Seo.
Weekend hackers try to break 90, not professionals. And Kuehne knows what the average golfer walking around La Costa was thinking: I can shoot better than that! Why is that woman out here?!
Unfortunately, it wasn't like Kuehne could play her rounds with a sign hanging around her neck that said "Fragile. Handle with Care."
Seven months ago, Kuehne, 32, underwent radical surgery on her left arm at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles. Doctors repaired torn ligaments in her wrist and forearm and moved a nerve. Seven weeks ago Kuehne went from rehab to hitting 500 balls a day.
She has received a medical exemption for this season and has 11 tournaments to make enough money to keep her card. She didn't have to start the year on the long and demanding track at La Costa — and she won't play another tournament for seven weeks — but she was courageous enough to test herself, knowing it might get ugly.
It was more brutal than she imagined.
"Did I expect it to be this bad? No," an upbeat Kuehne said yesterday after she signed her score card. "I knew I was going to have to play really, really well to break 80. I don't mean that in a bad way: I'm being honest. … I hit fairway wood into the green seven or eight times (Thursday) when I'm used to hitting 7- and 8-irons. You put it all together and here I am."
Still, with all that she understands about her limitations, shooting 90 hurt.
"Hell, yeah, it's tough," Kuehne said. "I can't remember ever shooting 90. Even when I started I was shooting in the 90s. Was it a kick in the gut? Sure. But you know what? It's not about having pride or having an ego and attitude. It's about, 'Hey, this is the objective.' I'm here as a measure of what I need to work on."
Kuehne is all too familiar with overcoming health issues in her golf. She was diagnosed with diabetes when she was 10 and is a spokeswoman for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The disease didn't keep her from an accomplished amateur career that included winning the U.S. Women's Amateur in back-to-back years.
"These two rounds don't define my year. They don't define me," Kuehne said. "At the end of the day, it's just golf. There are a lot of other things that are a lot more important. I think your perspective changes when you're away from it. I have an amazing job, don't get me wrong. But it's not life and death."
Bend it like Beckham
After Christina Kim missed a 6-foot par putt on her final hole to finish an otherwise solid round of 3-under 69, her caddie was about to pick up her bag. "Leave it, Andy," she said before applying a swift and angry soccer kick to a pastel bag with giraffes stitched on it.

Woodland 42, R.A. Long 14
The "Ground and Pound" strategy was in effect for Woodland all night against R.A. Long.
Cy Whitmire finished with 198 yards on 17 carries, while his brother, Eli, ended with 85 yards on six carries. Zach Falk added 79 yards rushing of his own also.
Cy Whitmire scored on the Beavers' first drive. On the next drive, Eli would add to that with a score of his own, giving Woodland an early 14-0 lead. After a turnover on downs, Cy Whitmire scored twice in under a minute, putting Woodland ahead 28-0 early in the second quarter.
"They're some very special kids. They have big hearts and for the size they are, they run with a lot of courage," said Head Coach Mark Greenleaf.
Woodland would score twice more in the half, one coming off a pass from Adam Shoup to Kyle Hendrix, one of only four passes Woodland attempted all game.
Troy Flanagan recovered a fumble in R.A. Long's endzone to take a commanding 42-0 halftime lead.
In what seemed like an offensive outburst, Woodland's defense was nothing short of spectacular as well, especially in the first quarter, as the Lumberjacks of R.A. Long were held to negative yardage and were unable to record a first down.
"I told the players, we need to go ahead and find a way to get rid of the penalties that have hampered out offense and our defense and just have a relentless pursuit of improvement" Greenleaf said.
Although Cy Whitmire dominated throughout the game, he couldn't take all the credit. "It was great blocking in the front. Our line just dominated. We work hard all week and we rely on these guys."
Coach Greenleaf and Cy Whitmire aren't jumping ahead to any matchups down the road past next week when the Beavers take on Washougal.
"We're taking one game at a time," Greenleaf said. "Washougal is very great defensively and offensively and it could be the league championship. We're up for the challenge and we're not looking past anybody."
"We're taking it week by week. We're just gearing up for each team," Cy Whitmire added.
With Greenleaf and Cy very much focused on not getting ahead of themselves, freshman Eli Whitmire couldn't help but extend his view throughout the remainder of the season.
"Our season started off slow, but now we have momentum. Teams need to watch out for us because we've got it now."
Next up: Woodland at Washougal; R.A. Long vs. Hockinson
R.A. Long 0 0 7 7—14
Woodland 14 28 0 0—42
First quarter

In Dana's latest vlog leading up to UFC 167 this weekend, he takes us behind the scenes of UFC Fight Night 32 showing us some backstage footage of the event.
One interesting scene from the vlog is shortly after the six minute mark where Dana shows the incident where Rony Jason punched a wall following his loss to Jeremy Stephens, which resulted in the Brazilian requiring stitches. Jason was hit with a thirty day suspension for the incident by the Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA) for what they deemed to be unsportsmanlike conduct.
You can check out the vlog in the video below.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
Tthis is the only book by Brooks that I don't like. I think she wrote this for sensationalism. Everyone knows that March is based on Louisa May Alcott's Little Women, which was based on Alcott's family. Brooks states that she heavily researched "March" before writing it. But she admits to making up one part, which seems to be the basis for March's abolitionist ways. I strongly disagree with the author's motive and method, therefore I hated the book.
A very fine novel that tells the reader about Mr March, the father of Alcott's [Little Women], and how his service in the Civil War changes him and affects his family. (Pulitzer Prize for fiction)
An interesting concept. I liked the switch in point of view. I didn't really like Mr. March so it was difficult to keep reading.
A brilliantly imagined novel, telling the story of the largely absent father from Little Women. It spectacularly evokes the civil war period and tackles big issues of morality, principle, love and duty.
Alcott's Little Women occurs during a one year absence of the father, Mr. March, when he leaves to minister to Union troops during the Civil War. This Pulitzer Prize winner imagines how March is changed during this year. Although I thought her later books were better, this novel is still a good read.
Brooks is capable of strong writing about the natural world and nicely researched effects about the human one (on the eve of a battle, March sees ''the surgeon flinging down sawdust to receive the blood that was yet to flow''), but the book she has produced makes a distressing contribution to recent trends in historical fiction, which, after a decade or so of increased literary and intellectual weight, seems to be returning to its old sentimental contrivances and costumes.
Fascinating insight, don't read if you're a Little Women purist.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0143036661, Paperback)
From Louisa May Alcott's beloved classic Little Women, Geraldine Brooks has animated the character of the absent father, March, and crafted a story "filled with the ache of love and marriage and with the power of war upon the mind and heart of one unforgettable man" (Sue Monk Kidd). With"pitch-perfect writing" (USA Today), Brooks follows March as he leaves behind his family to aid the Union cause in the Civil War. His experiences will utterly change his marriage and challenge his most ardently held beliefs. A lushly written, wholly original tale steeped in the details of another time, March secures Geraldine Brooks's place as a renowned author of historical fiction.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:15:15 -0400)
From Louisa May Alcott's "Little Women," Brooks has taken the character of the absent father, March, and has added adult resonance to portray the moral complexity of war and a marriage tested by the demands of extreme idealism.

Playing for the Illinois Valley Knights traveling baseball team in the fall, La Salle-Peru senior Bret Storm had a chance to play at Lindenwood University-Belleville.That weekend planted the seed for Storm's future, and a mid-February visit cemented it."The campus is beautiful," Storm said. "The coaches are very personable. When I got down there, I just fell in love with the campus and the environment. It's what I was looking for."Storm made the decision official Thursday morning when he signed a Letter of Intent to play for the NAIA school."I absolutely love the game of baseball," said Storm, who also considered North Park University, Wabash College, Blackburn College, Black Hawk College, Waubonsee Community College and Lincoln College. "To have the honor to keep playing it in college is a big deal to me."Lindenwood coach Logan Johnson said he thinks Storm is a good fit for the Lynx."We had a chance to see Bret in the fall at our home facility. He's a kid we took an interest in right away being left-handed and someone who can run," Johnson said. "He plays the game the way we play it. We have a lot of guys who can slap, spray hit and can run and play defense. I think he fits that mold."We're excited to have him. He's a good kid and comes from a good family and a winning program. He can be a guy who can make an impact for us."L-P coach Matt Glupczynski said he thinks Storm will succeed in college."Bret's a three-year starter for us. He brings very good intelligence about the game. He knows the game very, very well," Glupczynski said. "He's very fast. He's a good left-handed stick. He's improved every year I've coached him. I think he's going to bring a lot to the college level. I think he's ready for it."Storm plans to major in sports management.

I was a little nervous about watching Hoarding: Buried Alive, a new reality series that launched last week on what used to be our most grown-up free-to-air television channel, TV One.
I live with someone who has trouble getting rid of things and thought, as I approached Hoarding: Buried Alive, it might move me to call in the mental health professionals.
But, if that show's anything to go by, I don't have a problem at all.
As the last two words of the title delicately suggest, the people featured on this series inhabit an extreme end of the human experience. And, credit where credit's due, television is becoming increasingly good at finding new extreme ends of the human experience.
Nothing should be surprising any more, though I hadn't foreseen a big future for shows about weirdos who can't throw things out, but then I also failed to predict the rise of the recently popular "embarrassing bodies" genre.
And Hoarding: Buried Alive is the same sort of thing. It's an embarrassing bodies of the brain - very embarrassing, if that disturbing first episode (Wednesday, 9.30pm) was anything to go by.
It's probably the only episode I'll ever watch. I think I catch the drift and I won't need any more of the same, though it was creepily compelling watching a woman consider whether hanging on to her houseful of trash was more important to her than hanging on to her family.
Or watching Chris, a good-looking guy in his 40s with a good-looking girlfriend and a good-looking life - until he opened the door of his apartment.
Though actually getting the door to open at all was the first problem. A self-declared "keen shopper", Chris had accumulated so much stuff over the years, whole rooms and even his stairway had disappeared.
Shortly after this revelation, so did his girlfriend. "You live here?" she asked him.
"Not very well," he replied sorrowfully.
Being the sort of show that wants to seem to care as well as just stare, Hoarding: Buried Alive wheeled in some experts to help the poor victims out of their mess.
But while they helped the trash-collecting lady from Louisiana unearth her dining room, Chris seemed a lot less interested in confronting his cluttered life and left us with a look in his eye that suggested he might be off to the shops again.
On the subject of shopping shows, a new one called Mr Selfridge launched on Sunday night (TV One, 8.30). It's a superior sort of shopping show, being a drama about an American called Harry Gordon Selfridge and the trend-setting London department store he established in the early 1900s.
Though really, Mr Selfridge is another one of those toff-worshipping upstairs-downstairs nostalgia fests in the style of Downton Abbey.
It's a beautifully made trifle absolutely full of the sort of ingredients you'd expect.
The hero's a big-spending smug guy with a beard and too many teeth. There's a shop girl who dreams of better things, a saucy actress, a sex-mad socialite, a long-suffering wife and an even longer-suffering accountant.
Everything's in place for everything you'd expect from this sort of show - mainly nostalgia, with a promise of shagging on the side.
Which, of course, is the sort of thing any shopping show might benefit from.

Timeline: The Life And Research Of Dian Fossey
Dian Fossey, born in San Francisco in 1932, was a leading pioneer of mountain gorilla research and a staunch advocate for the gorillas' preservation in the wild. She brought international attention to their plight and helped establish programs to protect them and save their habitat. Her own research with the gorillas was stopped short when she was murdered in 1985. Her killers have never been caught.

Spongivory in Hawksbill Turtles: A Diet of Glass

The hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata), an endangered marine turtle associated with coral reefs throughout the tropics, feeds almost exclusively on sponges in the Caribbean, and possibly throughout its range. It is one of fewer than a dozen vertebrates that are known to specialize on this widely distributed but well-defended food resource. The diet is taxonomically narrow and highly uniform geographically, includes sponges that are toxic to other vertebrates, and contains more silica than that of other vertebrates. By affecting space competition, spongivory by hawksbills may influence succession and diversity of reef communities.

Bought some very pretty aluminum water bottles from here and the ink on them TOTALLY smeared off onto my leather bags. I cannot believe this. It was just sitting there at room temp too. It basically stamped an imprint of whatever was on the bottle onto my bag. Gaiam issued a refund but did not fully refund me for the damage of my own bags which I cannot clean off...

Is it possible to change what each key does? I have a client application and the way it needs to work is that each key press is a command to send over the network. I do not need my keyboard to produce letters (the server will do this) when pressed but commands to the server. Currently I have this working by making a custom view that looks like a keyboard however it would look better if it was the ios default keyboard.
Of course I dont expect the code but I need a starting point. My current google searching hasnt gone to good. Maybe a link to an example or some documentation on how to do it.
notes: you will see the first answer below makes a good suggestion but it brings up another point. my keyboard needs to mask the keyboard of the server, so no .com button or any other out of the ordinary keys, so I would also need to edit the layout I guess.

Tool review: Deluxe 14-inch Bandsaws
Grizzly G0555X
Pluses: This saw has the same rip fence as the G0457, but it has a different table, minus the blade-changing problems. And with a 110-volt motor, it cut slightly faster than the 2-hp, 220-volt G0457. You can install a blade and rely on the tension scale to be accurate. We like its wide-rimmed task light because it mounts on the blade side of the upper cabinet, letting you better direct light onto the cutline. The price above includes an optional riser-block kit that gives you the ability to resaw 12"-wide boards. If you don't need this resaw capacity, save the $70 and assemble the saw as equipped from the factory.
Minuses: The quick-release blade tension lever is stiffer to engage than on the other saws, although it held with no problems. Like the G0457, the rip fence will not work to the right of the blade. 800-523-4777; grizzly.com
I've had the Grizzly G0555 since 2002. Its been a great saw. Very accurate, easy to adjust. All the saws tested are nice. All have + and -. I bought mine at their Christmas sale. If this one gives out, I'll be lookin at the Grizzly again. I ty-wrapped an orange flag to the quick release handle for a quick view of the handle position.3/6/2015 08:57:36 AM Report Abuse

.- A federal bankruptcy judge has decided that the nearly $46-million settlement between the Roman Catholic Diocese of Spokane and sex abuse victims is legally unacceptable.
In a hearing Friday, Judge Patricia Williams said the deal cannot be approved because it favors one group of victims over another, reported the Associated Press.
"This settlement violates a rule that requires fair treatment," Williams said, adding that bankruptcy "can't treat people differently."
The diocese filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2004 because of sex abuse claims and has offered to settle the claims of 75 victims for $45.7 million. More than 100 other claims have been filed since.
The diocese is reviewing "claims of proof" filed by claimants not covered by the so-called "universal settlement," but no sum has been attached to their claims, reported the AP.
Williams stopped short of ruling against the settlement offer, but warned attorneys for both sides that she expected the matter to be settled quickly. A hearing is scheduled for May 15.
Shaun Cross, a lawyer for the Washington diocese, told the AP he is confident the settlement can be restructured.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Gov. John Kitzhaber has a new 10-year energy plan he hopes will be able to reactivate green energy in Oregon.
Despite the state's embrace of wind and solar companies, they're not making much of a contribution to the state's energy needs.
The Columbia Plateau is now draped in wind turbines, but they only supply 3 percent of Oregon's electricity. Solar and geothermal make a small contribution. Existing hydro-electricity is a big contributor, but fossil fuel plants still contribute half the state's electricity.
The Oregonian (http://is.gd/PD0W92 ) reports the governor hopes his new plan will change those numbers.
It features a laundry list of initiatives to take renewables, efficiency and green transportation from the marginal to the mainstream.

President Obama Honors Bob Dylan, Others With Medal of Freedom
Bob Dylan receives the Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama at the White House today. (Photo: Mandel Ngan/AFP/GettyImages)
President Barack Obama honored a diverse group of political and cultural icons, including former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, astronaut John Glenn and rock legend Bob Dylan, with the Medal of Freedom at the White House today.
The president noted that the awards ceremony Tuesday led to a "packed house, which is testament to how cool this group is." Obama said the honorees have moved Americans with their words and inspired them with their actions.
Bob Dylan Receives Medal of Freedom, Nation's Highest Civilian Honor
Obama then spoke of his personal connection to a number of this year's recipients, calling them "my heroes individually."
In his college days, Obama said, he listened to Dylan and recalled "my world opening up, because he captured something about this country that was so vital." Dylan's appearance drew the biggest whoops from the crowd, and he dressed for the event - sunglasses, bow tie and black suit embellished with shiny buckles and buttons.
"Everybody on this stage has marked my life in profound ways," he said.
Other honorees include Tennessee basketball coach Pat Summitt, former Supreme Court justice John Paul Stevens and author Toni Morrison.
The Medal of Freedom is the nation's highest civilian honor. It's presented to individuals who have made meritorious contributions to the national interests of the United States, to world peace or to other significant endeavors.
Albright was the first woman to hold the top U.S. diplomatic job, while Glenn was the first American to orbit the earth. Pat Summitt led the University of Tennessee women's basketball team to more NCAA Final Four appearances than any other team. And Dylan's vast catalog of songs includes such rock classics as "Like a Rolling Stone," "Blowin' in the Wind" and "Mr. Tambourine Man."
Dylan's self-titled debut was released in 1962, and he has since gone on to become one of the most important voices and lyricists in music over the past 50 years. His last two albums of original material, 2009's Together Through Life and 2006's Modern Times both hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200, a testament to his enduring success through the years.

of trying to do a big one. That's good to know about using a carboy--I hadn't thought of that.

Right, recipes for 5 gallon batches. I'm interested in using metal instead of a plastic thermos
for my lauter tun, which is why I was thinking of converting the pot. But no good, huh?

I'll join. My favourite is "My Immortal", I downloaded the sheet music for that and I've been playing it all week and driving my parents crazy. It's

I'd like to audition for "Australian Idol 2". I have the hair! (I've had an Afro, like Guy Sebastian's, for five years.) I haven't got that bad a singing voice, either. But my parents won't let me audition.

Syria: UN Security Council condemns terrorist attacks in Aleppo

|UN News Service, Syria: UN Security Council condemns terrorist attacks in Aleppo, 5 October 2012, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/5073d7d92.html [accessed 24 May 2016]
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
The members of the United Nations Security Council today condemned "in the strongest terms" the terrorist attacks which took place on Wednesday in the Syrian city of Aleppo, causing dozens of deaths and leaving more than a hundred civilians injured.
"They [Council members] expressed their deep sympathy and sincere condolences to the families of the victims of these heinous acts and to the people of Syria," added Ambassador Gert Rosenthal of Guatemala, which holds the Presidency of the Security Council for the month of October, in a statement he read out to the media at UN Headquarters in New York.
In the press statement, the Council noted that Jebhat al-Nusra – an Islamist militant group affiliated with the Al-Qaida terrorist group – had claimed responsibility for the attack.
According to media reports, at least two car bombs exploded on Wednesday in Aleppo's main Saadallah al-Jabiri Square and another bomb exploded a few hundred metres away, killing at least 48 people.
"The members of the Security Council reaffirmed that terrorism in all its forms and manifestations constitutes one of the most serious threats to international peace and security, and that any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of their motivation, wherever, whenever and by whomsoever committed," Ambassador Rosenthal said in the press statement.
In addition, the Council members reiterated their determination to combat all forms of terrorism, in accordance with its responsibilities under the UN Charter.
They also reminded States that they must ensure that measures taken to combat terrorism comply with all their obligations under international law, in particular international human rights, refugee and humanitarian law.

Include Me Out paid $19, $6.40 and $3.40. Great Hot returned $3.60 and $2.40. The favorite, Tiz Flirtatious, paid $2.60 to show.
Owned by Samantha Siegel, Include Me Out earned $90,000 for the win, her third in seven starts, for a career total of $183,600.

In an era of plenty, we risk forgetting the importance of the harvest. Once, its failure would have been devastating, ushering in a period of penury and hardship. Yet today, with our supermarket shelves groaning all year round with exotic fruits, vegetables and umpteen varieties of bread, what is there to worry about? After all, we can always rely on other sources of food from across the world to make up a shortfall in our domestic production. One day we may have cause to regret such complacency.
This year's UK wheat harvest has been ravaged by an exceptionally wet autumn and the coldest spring for 50 years. Reported production is down by one third and the expected yield of 11-12 million tonnes will be the lowest for a generation. Normally, Britain would be exporting 2.5 million tonnes of wheat, but this year we will have to import that amount. Oilseed rape, oats and sugar beet have also suffered. Yet this calamity has merited little national attention. There was much gnashing of political teeth in Parliament last week about the rising cost of living, without the connection explicitly being made to the potential impact of food prices on family budgets.
In fact, the additional reliance on imports will not necessarily push up prices because, globally, there has been a bumper cereal crop as a result of good weather in the American Mid-West, Australia and a beneficial monsoon in India. Here at home it was a different story, as waterlogged fields made sowing impossible. Of course, the effects of unusual weather are hard to combat and were even the subject of a Met Office summit yesterday to try to explain the recent lurches from drought to deluge. It is far too early to say that a new meteorological pattern has established itself over the UK, but if it has then cereal farmers might have to consider greater diversification. We will then become even more dependent on imports that are themselves subject to the vagaries of climate change.
But the poor harvest should focus attention on another issue: productivity. A recent report from the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) highlighted "the lack of progression in UK average farm yields for wheat and oilseed rape". Whereas yields increased rapidly between 1980 and 1996, since then they have stagnated, despite improved crop protection measures minimising loss from weeds, pests and diseases. The AHDB recommends earlier sowing to mitigate drought as well as better selection and management of cereal varieties.
There is, however, another approach that might improve productivity and that is a serious scientific exploration of the efficacy of genetically modified (GM) crops. In a speech tomorrow, Owen Paterson, the Environment Secretary, will call for a renewed debate about the use of GM, which is severely restricted in the European Union. Only two crops, a pest-resistant maize variety and a potato that mainly produces starch for industrial uses, have been licensed by the EU, and neither is grown in the UK, though they are in Spain, Germany and France, albeit not widely. Even so, around the world more than 170 million hectares of land are under GM crops, sustained by 16 million farmers in 28 countries, with no reports of apparent damage to health or the environment.
Mr Paterson's attempt, therefore, to get the EU to reopen this subject is eminently sensible, yet it has provoked outrage among eco-campaigners. The whole "Frankenfood" scaremongering has been revived and GM supporters are accused of being in the pockets of the big multi-national, agrochemical conglomerates such as Monsanto. The people who are against GM are invariably the same crowd who are in favour of wind farms and against nuclear power. They say man-made global warming will change the climate, thereby affecting food production. Yet they won't countenance the scientific tests that might show GM is a safe way to improve crop yields without causing a real-life Day of the Triffids.
This strange neo-Luddism, often fuelled by anti-Americanism and a distrust of corporate power, has taken a grip on the national psyche ever since the BSE scare 15 years ago. In a recent YouGov poll, only 21 per cent supported GM technology, while 35 per cent opposed it. The people who produce the food are largely in favour, however. A Farmers Weekly survey found that 61 per cent of farmers would grow GM crops if they could.
I would guess that most people who object to GM have never given a great deal of thought to the science behind it and instinctively recoil from something that looks to be tampering with nature. But with the world population growing rapidly, Europe cannot continue to ignore technology that can protect crops against pests and drought. Moreover, many African countries have emulated the EU ban for fear of being shut out of European markets; yet Africa either needs to improve productivity or put more land under cultivation, which is far more damaging to the environment.
When this debate was last reopened a few years ago, Paul Collier, the development economist, wrote: "Europe can afford romanticism, but the African poor cannot… The GM ban has already persisted for 12 years: how much more hunger must be endured before it is faced down?" That question remains unanswered; and Mr Paterson and his colleagues face a monumental fight to turn public opinion around. A few more bad harvests, however, and the argument will be made for them.

PRs and bloggers can make sure they are working in tune a bit more, following the launch of Bloggabase.com, a new service that allows closer contact between the two. Bloggers using the service will be able to register their field of expertise, be it travel, cooking or just about anything else, to ensure they only receive information that's relevant to them.
The online Femfresh debacle of last week seems to have died down but not before a spoof 'apology letter' made the rounds on social media… a few rude words, so we won't share here – nothing a bit of a Google won't find for you though if you are interested.
Judgement has been reserved on the appeal of Paul Chambers – the man found guilty of posting a comment on Twitter threatening to blow up an airport. Tweeting extraordinaire Stephen Fry, who was at the High Court hearing, said it was "very important" for freedom of speech. Paul Chambers, 27, from Doncaster, who now lives in Northern Ireland, was convicted in May 2011 for sending "menacing electronic communication". He claimed it was a joke and wants his conviction and sentence quashed. Read the full story here.

My Hairdresser Was Right!My last flattener died with the new year and I asked my hairdresser what to replace it with. I was daunted by the price but she assured me it was worth it. I managed to get online on a day when there was a 20% discount, so I felt I was getting more of a bargain. I really love this new T3, it is fast and easy and much safer than my last appliance.
