Is your food dead or alive? That would be the question that the raw food movement is asking these days. The average person has spent most of his or her life consuming dead foods. From the time a baby is ready for more than just milk, he is introduced to dead food. What does this mean? Animals have to die so that we can eat them. Vegetables, grains, legumes, etc. go from life to death when cooked, especially over a certain degree of heat; some are even overcooked. Enter the raw food movement. It's fast becoming a trend with many followers.
So what is raw food? Many believe that it's just simply what it states, 'food that is raw or uncooked' and who wants to eat that? Further research into the definition of raw foodism states that it is uncooked, unprocessed food that is not heated beyond 118 degrees F. Food cooked above that tends to lose enzymes that the body needs.
Consuming a 100 percent raw food diet makes the body feel light. There's also no need to count calories, therefore, you can eat to your heart's content. Who wouldn't be happy about that? The raw food lifestyle means a return to the garden; the way people were truly meant to eat. Plants, sprouted grains, nuts and seeds do supply some amount of the nutrients we need in addition to those our bodies already make.
Cooked food gives the body that satiated feeling it craves, but leaves us feeling heavy. People also tend to look for what pleases their palates: grilled, fried, roasted, broiled. Though there are some delicious raw food recipes, some folks would never even fathom giving up the old and trying something new and more healthy.
Finally, like any other lifestyle change, raw foodism requires preparation and planning to be successful. Purchasing some of the necessary tools will help maintain it. These include: a food processor, strong blender, juicer and a food dehydrator (the proverbial oven). All of these items are not needed to start the journey, but a future investment into them will help provide variety when it comes to making more recipes.
Gradually incorporating more fruits and vegetables into your meals will help make the transition smoother for those willing to try this lifestyle. Also, doing research is vital to any life decision a person can make.

WTF Was That?!: Kid Rollerskate Limbos Under 39 Cars
This is a video of 6-year old Gagan Satish from Bagalore, India, rollerskating under 39 consecutive cars. That is a new record (previously: a video of the old champion from 2008). The clearance under the cars is only 20cm (7.9-inches). For reference, I always knock the pole down during rollerskate limbo on the first pass. Plus refuse to leave the rink during couple's skate even though I don't have a partner.
Keep going for the video, but prepare to scratch your eyeballs in disbelief.
Thanks to chichi, who agrees the best thing about the skating rink is the snack bar.

Nashville music industry veteran Fletcher Foster has brought his varied background in the record label and management company sectors in launching his first venture.
Foster has joined forces with entrepreneur/businessman Larry Beckwith in forming Iconic Entertainment Group, to involve all aspects of the entertainment industry including artist management, music, television, film, artist development and strategic partnerships.
Foster is Iconic's president/CEO; Beckwith, who founded and headed the global biofuel energy trading/distribution company Eco-Energy, is its chairman.
"We saw the model of the music business changing," says Foster, who comes to Iconic following a stint at Red Light Management, where he oversaw its Nashville office. He previously served at record labels in both Nashville and Los Angeles, working with such artists as Whitney Houston, Keith Urban, Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Annie Lennox and Patti LaBelle; he also co-produced the first annual American Country Awards show for Fox-TV in 2010.
"What's needed now is an all-encompassing entertainment company," Foster continues. "Entertainment has become multi-dimensional: Music genres are crossing, and all aspects of entertainment—including music, film, TV, sports--are crossing. You can no longer just be niche."
Iconic has announced its first artist signings in LeAnn Rimes and singer-songwriter Levi Hummon.
"LeAnn has left her label after 20 years and we're negotiating a new deal, and she has a VH1 show and a pilot for CBS in the fall," says Foster. "Levi is the son of the great singer-songwriter Marcus Hummon and is breaking out on his own."
Iconic has also just appointed Brian O'Neil to the post of artist manager and Ally Rodriguez to that of associate artist manager. Both come from Nashville-based booking agencies.

Thibs was assistan coach for Knicks few years. Truth is Thibs was assistant coach with all best
thats why his teams were one of best D
Thibs got contract still for 2 years afaik
Dolan keep dreaming and leave this franchise
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]If you're into looking for potential coaches for the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], you're advised to spend some time scouting the visitors bench Wednesday night.
Because ...
While there's no such thing as a safe bet in the unpredictable world of James Dolan, suggesting he'll try someday to import Tom Thibodeau from Chicago to coach the Knicks is, at the very least, in the right zip code.
The article is by Marc Stein on ESPN. It's at least an interesting read.
But if Dolan really wants Thibs...is this the light at the end of the tunnel?
This level of lucidity from Dolan almost seems like a pipe-dream.
Thibs was assistan coach for Knicks few years. Truth is Thibs was assistant coach with all best
thats why his teams were one of best D
Thibs got contract still for 2 years afaik
Dolan keep dreaming and leave this franchise
We could have had Thibs years ago I think. if we could steal Thibs from Chicago, this would be the biggest coup for our franchise since we got Pat Riley in town.
First time in years Dolan wanted to improve the franchise....this is breaking news.
This would be nice, obviously Thibs is one of the top defensive coordinators in the league and the Knicks defense leaves a lot to be desired sometimes. However I think we also need someone who is a top quality offensive coach too, because this ISO **** is wearing the team very thin. How is Thibs on the offensive end? I know the Bulls don't perform that great on that side of the ball a lot of the time although their team is really made up of mostly defensive specialists/hustle guys with just a handful of guys who can shoot/create.
I don't really watch enough of the Bulls to know how good he is in that aspect.
But he seems like a coach that would benefit from an offensive minded assistant. Seems like the kind of guy who wouldn't mind bringing one in either.
Dolan is way more willing to spend his money than Reinsdorf seems to be, so I'd think Thibs would be able to get whoever he wants to sit with him on the bench (Ron Adams would probably be one).

I am writing a program using the framebuffer device directly and I have three problems there.
1) The only way I can set the screen resolution correct is by passing the kernel option during boot:
when using others like:
video=vesafb:800x600-32,ywrap ,
video=uvesafb:800x600-32,ywrap ,
the framebuffer is 800x600 in the terminal, but as soon as i start the program the resolution goes back to its native resolution (1366x768). Is this an Intel (gma) issue or am I doing something wrong here?
2) With all four above variants I am not able to acquire offscreen buffers. In example doubling the y-resolution via
FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO. Is there another option to be set to be able to use offscreen framebuffer memory? May be related to the above issue?
3) Exiting the program I am stuck on the framebuffer, even though the program cleans up and resets the old configuration. I have to go to another terminal by
CTRL+ALT+F1 and back by
CTRL+ALT+F7 to get back into X. Why could this be, assuming the program does everything correct?
I am on an Intel GMA 3150.

Meg credits her husband and fellow traveler Tom with inspiring her love of photography, through his gift of her first camera in 1995. Her mother passed along the gene giving Meg her "eye," love of color and words, as well as a spiritual hunger. In Meg's words: Photography is a passion for me, one that has grown over time. It allows me to change my perspective, see beauty in the everyday, "focus" on the moment at hand; it provides a sense of purpose to my other great love, travel to distant lands and cultures. I can often wake up in a bad mood, so the practice of reading daily meditation books has turned my attitude around, a day at a time. The "meditation of the day" often presents exactly the message I am in need of, with unerring accuracy! Wanting more of this, I began delving into books of quotations. This book is an outgrowth of these avocations intersecting.

Nitrogen pollution is giving carnivorous plants on Swedish bogs so many nutrients that they don't need to catch as many flies, new research shows.
The common sundew drosera rotundifolia grows in rain-fed bogs across much of northern Europe. These habitats have few nutrients, so the plant needs to boost its nitrogen intake by trapping midges and other insects with its sticky leaves.
But human activities involving burning fossil fuels for transport and industry have greatly increased levels of nitrogen deposited by rainfall over these bogs, disturbing the specialised ecosystems that have grown up there.
A study published in New Phytologist shows that this artificial rain of fertiliser is now making carnivorous plants lose interest in insect prey. Plants in lightly-polluted areas got 57 per cent of their nitrogen from insects; in areas that receive more nitrogen deposition, that figure fell as low as 22 per cent.
'If there's plenty of nitrogen available to their roots, they don't need to eat as much,' explains Dr Jonathan Millett from Loughborough University, the report's lead author. Instead, they rely more on nitrogen absorbed through their roots.
How did the plants manage this rapid shift in diet? Millett says earlier experiments have suggested they can make their leaves less sticky, trapping fewer prey. He adds that a colour change may also contribute; sundew plants in highly polluted bogs are much greener than those growing in nutrient-poor conditions. The latter typically have a red colour that's believed to attract insects. He even suggests that looking at the colour of sundew plants could give ecologists a quick way to gauge how much nitrogen pollution an area has suffered.
The team took samples of sundew plants growing at several bogs in northern Sweden, in conditions ranging from almost pristine to heavily polluted with nitrogen. They also collected insect species that the plants feed on, and mosses growing in the same places that don't eat animals.
They then ground the samples up and analysed the presence of various isotopes of nitrogen - different forms of the same element that have different atomic weights. Nitrogen that's of biological origin, like that in flies, has a different mix of isotopes from nitrogen deposited in the rain.
So by analysing the breakdown of these isotopes in the sundew plants and comparing it to that found in the flies and in non-carnivorous plants growing nearby, the researchers could work out what proportion of each plant's nitrogen came from prey and how much from its roots.
Scientists have theorised that plants adopt the carnivorous lifestyle when they can't get enough nitrogen through the more conventional means of absorbing it with their roots. Catching and eating insects provides another source of nitrogen, but it's hardly an ideal solution.
Plants have to spend lots of energy on the specialised equipment; once a species has gone down this path, it finds it hard to compete with non-carnivorous rivals outside its favoured nitrogen-poor setting. These results lend support to that theory - when plants can get away with it, they scale back on their carnivorous activities.
'In the sites with more nitrogen deposition, these plants now get much more of their nitrogen from their roots, but they still have to bear the residual costs of being carnivorous, and other plants without these will be better able to survive,' Millett comments. 'So it's quite likely we'll see less abundance and perhaps local extinctions from carnivorous species. The individual plants get bigger and fitter, but the species as a whole is less well adapted to high-nitrogen environments and will lose out over time.'
This study confirms that it's not just a matter of the plants absorbing more root nitrogen, causing a steady level of prey nitrogen to become more diluted. The level of prey nitrogen actually falls, suggesting the plants are somehow limiting their insect-catching activities, presumably to save energy.
Millett is now broadening his study to look at bogs in other areas, including Britain. The situation in Britain could be far more serious because of more heavy industry. 'In the UK, almost all of our bogs will be at least equivalent to the Scandinavian sites we classified as intermediate.' He notes that the low-pollution Swedish bogs showed deposition rates of around 1.8kg of nitrogen per hectare per year; many UK sites are closer to 30kg.
He worked with colleagues at Sweden's Uppsala University and at the Scottish University Environmental Research Centre. NERC provided funding for the isotope analysis used in the research, via its Life Sciences Mass Spectrometry Facility.
Reliance on prey-derived nitrogen by the carnivorous plant Drosera rotundifolia decreases with increasing nitrogen deposition. J. Millett, B. M. Svensson, J. Newton, H. Rydin. New Phytologist, Volume 195, Issue 1, pages 182-188, July 2012. DOI: 10.1111/j.1469-8137.2012.04139.x

Minor nit-pick with the headline. Plants with roots in the soil are not vegetarian are they? Surely they are autotrophs. There are some parasitic? plants like Yellow Rattle and Mistletoe that steal nutrients. But even those aren't 'vegetarian'. I'm not even sure there are any 'vegetarian' plants, whatever that term means w.r.t. plants. I excluded fungi, because they're from a different kingdom./rant

This is probably an important study. Although it demonstrates what seemed to be likely. Yet another example of the multiple stresses placed upon the natural environment by human activities.

Hi Amoeba,
you're right of course - I was just using 'vegetarian' as headlinese for 'non-meat-eating', but obviously these plants aren't developing a taste for other plants nearby. Hopefully not too greivous a simplificiation!

(Nam Y.

Instead, Hiller became the man of the hour as Anaheim pulled off one of the greatest comebacks in franchise history.• A promising season in St. Louis ended in familiar fashion for the Blues: with a loud, disappointing thud.• St. Louis' attention now turns to the future of goaltender Ryan Miller. If the Blues still want him, and that's no sure thing with Jake Allen waiting in the wings, he'll be a lot cheaper to sign now than if they'd inked him a month ago.

George Malik has that news, along with a timeline of what comes next for a team that has some significant issues to address.• Jim Rutherford is expected to step down as GM of the Hurricanes later this morning. • 2014 draft prospect Sonny Milano led Team USA to the Under-18 World Championship.

A lot of people are afraid to start writing because they feel like it's too difficult or they won't be able to think of anything to say. A good way to start getting over this fear is writing streams of consciousness. According to a writershistory.com article, the phrase 'stream of consciousness' was first coined by a psychologist named William James in his work 'Principles of Psychology.' Streams of consciousness are described in this text as having a disregard for standardized grammar and punctuation rules, and attempts to incorporate all influences on a person's (or character's) thought process.
As a writing practice, streams of consciousness don't have to be about any specific thing--you just write about whatever comes to your mind. There aren't really any rules, because this is just for you to read, not for others. Here are some things to remember as you write your stream of consciousness:
- It's not going to be 100% coherent. There may be some thoughts that go together, but for the most part it probably won't make a whole lot of sense. Don't worry about it, that's how it's actually supposed to be.
- You're not writing a story. Sure, there may be inspiration for a story somewhere in there, but that's not the ultimate point of a stream of consciousness. Focus on writing whatever comes to mind, regardless of how strange it may sound.
The real reason for writing a stream of consciousness is to get you in the practice of writing something, and to get yourself comfortable with letting your thought flow freely without putting every single one through the self-criticism filter. One other note: writing a stream of consciousness is or can be a form of journaling, but not all journaling has to be in the form of a stream of consciousness. If streams of consciousness are too much for you right now, try another form of journaling and maybe work your way up to it. Not all forms of writing are right for everyone.

According to the design plans the intention of the complete renovation is to transform the mall in "Carlsbad into an upscale outdoor lifestyle retail, leisure and dining destination." Like most malls, any given morning you will see older couples strolling and new mothers with carriages strolling the muted dark hallways of the old mall, a common rainy day walking destination, however in the future you may just see as many umbrellas as strollers (at least during the 40 days a year it rains)!
Connecting the environment and the shopping choices with the surrounding community is the first priority of the redesign goal in attempting to highlight the emphasis on an outdoor lifestyle. The re-design plans include removing the roof and transforming the facility into a lushly landscaped open air mall and featuring themed zone areas called, "Ocean" (with a kelp looking climbing wall for children), "Lagoon", "Sandbar", "Wave" and instead of the same boring food court, the new design is more of a Restaurant Row design with garden seating.
The most visible project underway right now are the 24-Hour Fitness Super Sport facility and a "state of the art" luxury Regal Cinema which are slated to open near the end of this year. The massive project is being done in two phases, and a majority of the cosmetic renovations are still in the proposal phase are expected to be reviewed this fall by the Carlsbad Planning Commission.
More than a beautification project for the city of Carlsbad, the mall renovation project is projected to employ more than 1,200 construction jobs and more than 1,000 more long term positions in the new commercial space that will be added upon completion of the project. Even greater are the long term financial benefits of the new Westfield Carlsbad Mall which is anticipated by the city of Carlsbad to bring in an additional $1.2 million annually which will assist in funding police, fire and rescue departments.
All of the newly created spaces for retailers have been eagerly anticipated and may include a virtual reality attraction(s), perhaps a microbrewery, a full service pharmacy, even a grocery store and perhaps a bowling alley-still all just speculation, but exciting nonetheless!
Malls in cities around the US double as entertainment centers and social hubs, but should also reflect the values and needs of the local communities they serve. For example having an amusement park in the mall is appropriate for the chilly state of Minnesota, but when you have weather like we do in Southern California; our amusement parks are not just outdoors but many are right on the ocean (forgive me for bragging a little).
Besides the purpose of actually shopping, malls are for teens to "hang out", for older couples to get in some healthy strides and new mothers to get some peace and quiet. Malls are also free admission still but if you haven't noticed- not many teens "hang out" at the old Carlsbad mall anymore, it has become like the school library in summer. Perhaps this renovation will continue to draw all of us "outdoor lifestyle" people into the new outdoor/indoor mall, to take a stroll and explore what's new and perhaps get a gourmet bite to eat.

Severn Barrage Proposals
Prime Minister David Cameron is reported to have asked ministers to look again at building a barrage in the Severn Estuary.
Live updates
Severn Barrage companies join forces
Hafren Power, the company set up by investors hoping to build and operate the Severn Estuary barrage, has announced that five global companies are now working on the project.
They have expertise in engineering, construction, project management and logistics and are working with Hafren Power on its proposal to build a £25 billion, 18km (11 mile) electricity generating barrage across the Severn estuary.
Arup, Bechtel, DHL, Mott MacDonald and URS are currently assessing what will be required to manage the planning consents and environmental approval processes.
If the Barrage eventually gets the go-ahead, the nine-year build would be the biggest British infrastructure project since the Channel Tunnel.
Government backs plans for £30bn Severn Barrage
The Prime Minister, David Cameron, is said to be backing plans for the controversial Severn Barrage.
It's claimed the 30-billion-pound scheme would generate five per cent of Britain's energy needs and give the South West economy a huge boost. But conservationists claim it would have a devastating effect on wildlife

Many organizations around the world are working in volatile areas, or they are dealing with polarizing subjects as part of their mission. For example, organizations working on resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, organizations that focus on the abortion issue—on either side—political organizations, etc. In addition, sometimes groups that are in a whole other "business" hold conferences on "hot" topics that are, in themselves, polarizing and can create conflict in groups. All this has a tendency to create conflict in organizations, which also tends to bring up trauma in individuals and evoke trauma in groups.
Large Scale Trauma Dynamics Evoke Group Trauma Dynamics
Almost inevitably, whenever a group of people decides to discuss a volatile issue, the dynamics that happen in the larger issue (e.g., Israel/Palestine) start happening in the group itself in the moment, in the relationships in the group. The smaller group becomes a microcosm of what's happening on the larger scene in that the emotions, ways of thinking and ways people act and relate to each other begin to mirror what happens on the larger scene. Conflict in groups emerges and escalates. For instance, where on the world scene there might be a threat of a people's annihilation, in the smaller group fears will begin to emerge in various people that are much larger and more intense that what seems to be warranted by what's actually happening in the group. For example, various people may begin to feel everyone is against them, they might begin to feel that they don't fit in where everyone else does, they may be afraid of being scapegoated or thrown out of the group. On the other side, some people may begin to look askance at someone in the group, to feel that that this person doesn't really fit in with "the rest of us," and want this person to leave the group. They may even feel that this person is dangerous to the existence of the group. Where these kinds of dynamics occur, conflict in groups tends to occur too.
Group Trauma Dynamics Affect the Whole Group
All this happens because the trauma dynamics of the larger scene become like a template unconsciously laid on the smaller group and actually create group trauma dynamics that mirror the thoughts, emotions and ways of relating that happen in the larger scene. If they are not dealt with, conflicts easily erupt and escalate.
Group Trauma Dynamics Template
It's important to be aware that, when people are beginning to have these seemingly exaggerated thoughts, feelings and reactions to each other, this is probably the "trauma template" landing on the group process and it's important to assume that the group is becoming caught in group trauma dynamics, in the group trauma "trance." Just knowing that often helps.
What to Do When Group Trauma Dynamics Emerge
1. Begin with an educational piece: Go through what people might feel. For example, isolated, not belonging, put down, trapped, scared to speak. Let them know that, if anyone begins to feel this way, others are having the same experience. Let them know that it's part of what happens when we discuss this topic. They're not the only one.
2. When someone says they are having emotions, thoughts, and ideas about their relationship to the group or toward people in the group, thank them for bringing them up. Remind them that others are probably feeling that, too. The group trauma trance makes people feel isolated. Reminding them that they belong keeps group trauma dynamics from taking hold and avoids escalating conflict in groups.
3. In a group, when discussing painful, polarizing events or topics, stay away from mentioning details of what might have happened to people—specifics about injuries or assaults or specific verbal, ethnic or racial slurs. Bringing up details brings up images in people's minds and can trigger people's individual traumas.
4. When trauma is evoked in a group, things tend to speed up and get out of hand. Keep slowing down. Make sure one topic is thoroughly finished before adding another one. When several topics are up at the same time, with none of them completed, things tend to escalate. If you've missed this, you can always back up, table the additional topics and go back to the first topic until it's thoroughly resolved.
5. Hot spots might occur, that is, someone might say something considered outrageous or taboo. Several people may begin yelling at each other. Or there may be a sudden charged silence when people don't know how to respond to what's just happened. Rather than becoming afraid and trying to move away from the hot spot, stop right there, slow down and move into it. Have people explain what they meant, how they're feeling in response, etc.
6. Later, after hot spots are taken care of, ask people who have been silent for a while what they're thinking or feeling. Often they'll come up with something that clears the air.
7. When there's a feeling of resolution or relief, acknowledge the shift in the atmosphere. Appreciate people's honesty and openness—and take a break.

That's probably why we were instantly taken with Skyfall actress Bérénice Marlohe's look at the film's Tokyo premiere. It was the epitome of dazzling, with, not just sparkling beads, but also feathers--fun, flirty, fabulous feathers. And perhaps what's best about all those fluffy feathers is that there aren't so many of them that the rest of her look got overshadowed. In fact, it took us no time at all to notice her jeweled pumps, also quite dazzling, and the aubergine manicure that matched the spray of purple plumes behind the black ones. Finally, the gorgeous French actress nailed that heavily-lined smokey eye and nude lip combo that so many French woman seem to have mastered.

I'm using a Verisign Extended SSL cert which is piped downstream by nginx running the default cipher suite config.
This results in a 256 bit encrypted connection.
However, since it's a CBC method, should I be concerned about a BEAST attack?
The nginx manual offers the following suggestion to drop back to RC4 (which doesn't appear to be affected by that particular attack):
ssl_ciphers RC4:HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
That's fine, but it drops the encryption back to 128 bit, too.
Is it preferable to opt for 256 bit that's vulnerable to BEAST, or 128 bit that's not (but may be vulnerable to other attacks)?

Little Carina has zero problem showing off every square inch of her succulent young body. Not like some of the cock teasing solo girls around she shows it all. I loved seeing her spread her brown pussy lips apart and show her pale pink clit. Even better pulling apart her tight ass cheeks to reveal a smooth asshole that is just begging to be rimmed.
Carina 18 also does some very explicit hardcore scenes with both boys and girls. I particularly enjoyed some of her girl on girl updates. The videos of Carina getting her black snatch eaten is very nice!

Violinists Benjamin Beilman (21, United States), Hyeyoon Park (20, South Korea) and Alexandra Soumm (pictured, 22, France) have been named London Music Masters (LMM) award holders for 2012-2015.
The international violin awards, which are given every three years to three outstanding violinists between the ages of 16 and 25, are career development programmes designed to assist winners in furthering international careers while serving as positive role models, reaching new audiences and enriching their communities.
The awards were set up to complement LMM's music education programme, the Bridge Project. Each winner regularly attends the three primary schools in Lambeth and Pimlico taking part in the initiative, to mentor schoolchildren between 4 and 8 years.
The winners each receive an award package tailored to their career needs, including a financial award of £10,000 to enhance musical development, recitals, concerto performances with the London Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall, concerts at the Bowdoin International Music Festival in the US and the opportunity to premiere new works by contemporary composers commissioned by LMM.
The winners of the first round of LMM awards (2009-2012) were Jennifer Pike, Agata Szymczewska and Elena Urioste.
Beilman, Park and Soumm will each be presented in recitals at Wigmore Hall, London, in October.

Gay activists are attacked in Moscow just a day after a St Petersburg football team denies it is hostile to gays and blacks.
18:38, UK, Wednesday 19 December 2012
Gay rights activists have been attacked outside the Russian parliament - a day after a leading football team was forced to deny it was both homophobic and xenophobic.
Anti-gay activists threw eggs at equality campaigners near the State Duma, before scuffles broke out between the two sides.
Several activists on both sides were detained by police amid the protest against a controversial new bill banning "gay propaganda".
Gay rights activists have said if adopted the new law will violate the rights of members of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) community in Russia.
Police also arrested 15 demonstrators protesting against a proposal to ban foreign adoptions of Russian orphans, according to activists.
The attacks and arrests come a day after football team Zenit St Petersburg was forced to address claims of racism and anti-gay policies.
A "manifesto for traditional football" published online by Zenit supporters warned against employing African players.
The manifesto added: "We object to Zenit players being representatives of sexual minorities."
Asked if the club employed a racist policy, director of sport Dietmar Beiersdorfer said: "Of course we have no restrictions related to the origin of a football player, the colour of his skin or religion!"
"Our goal is to win the Russian championship and perform well in Europe.
"To do this, we need both players that we can grow in our academy, and experienced Russian players, and the best talent from around the world."
Meanwhile the fans' manifesto said the team had gained success in the last decade by employing Zenit youth team members, aided by Russian and foreign players "with a similar mentality".
The team has a large working class fan base among St Petersburg's 4.5m population.
The manifesto also complained that football was increasingly profit-based and corporate-run, and slammed players who "constantly changed" clubs.
"Now we fear that the club can turn from this road and take the path of Manchester City and London's Arsenal," it said.
"And many other clubs who buy packs of players from around the world and does not represent a region or city that they represent."

MathSight discovers the secret of Penguin 2.1 – Flesch Kincaid and Dale Chall readability tests
MathSight, the revolutionary machine learning SEO platform, has made a breakthrough discovery about the algorithm employed by Google's Penguin 2.1.
Following weeks of analysis, MathSight has confirmed – to a 99.9% confidence level – that Penguin uses the Flesch Kincaid and Dale Chall readability tests as part of a combination of metrics to evaluate linking content.
MathSight Systems Architect, Frank Kelly, said: "We began to suspect the influence of readability tests shortly after the launch of Penguin 2.1 in October, but have been waiting until we had enough data to rigorously test the hypothesis. We found that both the Flesch Kincaid Grade Level and Dale Chall readability tests are having an impact, with the number of words per sentence and the ratio of rare and common words all playing a part in site traffic following a Google Penguin update.
"With Penguin 2.1, Google is favouring web pages with well written, well researched and sophisticated content. So, for example, the lower the ratio of rare words to the total on offsite linking pages, the more detrimental those backlinks are to your SEO."
In addition to readability related metrics, MathSight has also identified that 2.1 is impacted by classified 'page type' (i.e. blog posts vs. commercial landing pages).
"We are still mathematically confirming the types of content to which we can link a reward from the Penguin change, in terms of inbound organic search traffic," said Kelly.
According to MathSight Managing Director, Andreas Voniatis, Penguin 2.1's 'probabilistic' algorithm is an effective method of evaluating the presence of so-called 'dirty' links.
He said: "The last decade has witnessed online businesses buying links on the basis of PageRank or a website's inherent authority. The search engines, in particular Google, have had to respond by formulating new algorithms that look beyond the volume and quality of links.
"Targeting web pages with poor readability is algorithmically the most efficient way of discounting poor links from web pages that have content that has not been written professionally and lacks relevant research."
So what are the implications for the SEO industry? Voniatis believes SEOs simply need additional data that helps them to evaluate links the same way Penguin would.
"Instead of only looking at a site's authority, the SEO should use additional data to evaluate their readability scores before deciding on whether or not they want nurture an editorial relationship with a website for the purposes of link outreach."

The European Union has received this years Nobel Peace Prize in the Norwegian capital, for promoting "peace and reconciliation, democracy and human rights" in Europe for six decades following the tremendous devastation of World War II. (AP Photo/Yves Logghe) BJOERN H. AMLAND| Associated Press Dec. 10, 2012; 0:19 p.m. Comments OSLO, Norway (AP) — The European Union received the Nobel Peace Prize on Monday for promoting peace and human rights in Europe following the devastation of World War II, and the bloc was urged to use that unity in its battle with the region's economic crisis. About 20 European government leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande and British Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, attended the ceremony in the Norwegian capital. But not everyone approved the decision to give the prize to the EU, which was created 60 years ago. Three Peace Prize laureates — South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Mairead Maguire of Northern Ireland and Adolfo Perez Esquivel from Argentina — have demanded that prize money of $1.2 million not be paid this year. They said the bloc contradicts the values associated with the prize because it relies on military force to ensure security. Amnesty International said Monday that EU leaders should not "bask in the glow of the prize," warning that xenophobia and intolerance are now on the rise in the continent of 500 million people. Prize committee Chairman Thorbjoern Jagland handed the Nobel diplomas and medals to EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, EU Council President Herman Van Rompuy and president of the EU Parliament Martin Schulz at a ceremony of in Oslo's City Hall. Jagland said the EU was instrumental in making "a continent of war (become) a continent of peace." "In this process the European Union has figured most prominently," he told an applauding gathering of several hundred people. This year's prize comes against a backdrop of protests as the debt crisis for countries using the euro currency triggers tensions within the union, causing soaring unemployment and requiring massive austerity measures. In his speech, Jagland said that European unity has become even more important as the EU battles its financial problems. "The political framework in which the union is rooted is more important now than ever," he said. "We must stand together. We have collective responsibility." Jagland said the awarding committee had decided to honor the EU, which grew out of the conviction that ever-closer economic ties would make sure that century-old enemies such as Germany and France never turned on each other again. He described that reconciliation as "probably the most dramatic example in history to show that war and conflict can be turned so rapidly into peace and cooperation." He said the presence of Merkel and Hollande on Monday made "this day very particular, symbolic for all of us," prompting applause and bows from the two leaders. The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded in Oslo on Dec. 10, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel's death in 1896. Similar ceremonies are to be held in the Swedish capital for the Nobel laureates in medicine, chemistry, physics and literature. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Izzo Tabbed U.S. Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association All-American
May 22, 2014
AMHERST, Mass. - The United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) awarded University of Massachusetts short-stick defensive midfielder Ryan Izzo a spot on the organization's all-America listing on Thursday morning. Izzo was tabbed an honorable mention recipient after he provided UMass with 25 groundballs and six caused turnovers during the 2014 season.
Izzo, a 2014 New England Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association All-Region First Team selection, also helped out the attack with four points on two goals and a pair of assists while he started each of the Minutemen's 13 games as a redshirt-junior. The Walpole, Mass., native also helped out UMass on defense as the squad limited foes to 9.69 goals scored per game to go along with a .741 penalty kill percentage, which was tops among CAA institutions.
The honor marks the 135th all-America award issued to a Minuteman by the USILA and the 44th during head coach Greg Cannella's 20 seasons leading the program.

My husband likes to bring in treats for his co-workers from time to time. Sometimes he asks me to help, which I am over-the-top happy to do! I love baking cupcakes and other desserts, but my triathlon "diet" doesn't want me to have a kitchen full of desserts that I shouldn't eat. So I jump at the chance to make goodies for other people.I decided that I would test out Bakerella's Easy Valentine's Treats. All I needed was a box of red velvet cake mix, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup butter, and a jar of cream cheese frosting.
Interesting side note: I had somewhat of a hard time finding red velvet cake mix. I tried three different grocery stores (Ralph's, Fresh & Easy, Albertson's) before I finally found my cake mix at Target of all places! I stocked up so I wouldn't have this problem in the future.
Bakerella's recipe requires you to make your own frosting. Because of my limited time this weekend, I decided to just use frosting from a jar. I used Betty Crocker's Rich & Creamy Cream Cheese frosting.
I tested a few of the cookies out with my family last night. Delicious! They loved them! Now I will have to see how much my husband's co-workers enjoy them. Who wouldn't love one of these on a Monday?!

This is exciting racing at the top levels, with the drivers residing in the cars in a lying-down position, just like an Indy Car. The speeds are in the 100-plus-mph category. Imagine the thrill of moving at that speed with your body about an inch off the ground.
Don't get the idea that you can jump immediately into such a kart. You start at the beginning and move up through the ranks as your skills improve.
Kart Governing
There are two major karting organizations, and they don't normally compete against each other. The World Karting Association (WKA) basically controls racing in the eastern United States, while the International Karting Federation (IKF) oversees Kart racing in the western part of this country.
A majority of the time, the groups, which are comprised mostly of volunteers, don't run big races against each other. There are an estimated 75,000 Karters in the United States alone. The rules of the WKA and IKF are similar, allowing drivers to compete with both groups. The groups sponsor both state, regional, and national competitions. But there is also a large amount of unsanctioned competition at hundreds of kart tracks in both the United States and Canada. Karting is an international motorsport, with heavy activity in Australia and Europe. To find your nearest kart track, just type your state along with "Kart Tracks" on your computer browser.
The Family Racing Team
The teams that race karts come in all sizes and shapes, but for the most part, there is one similarity between them. This is a family sport of the first order. It's not surprising to see two or three generations involved in a team, including mom, dad, brothers and sisters, and even grandma and grandpa rolling into the race site. No paid crewmembers here--dad is usually the crewchief, and everybody helps out.
It's amazing how much responsibility child drivers can learn from the sport. For example, many are involved in setup of the kart. And, since mom and dad usually foot the bills, they often require their children to maintain a high level of performance in the classroom in order to continue competing. That certainly gets these young drivers' attention.

Today CBO released a letter responding to questions about the subsidies that enrollees would receive for premiums and cost sharing, and the amounts that they would have to pay, on average, if they purchased a relatively low cost plan in the new insurance exchanges to be established under H.R. 3962 as introduced in the House of Representatives on October 29. The analysis reflects the preliminary analysis of that bill that CBO, in conjunction with the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation, released last week.
The table accompanying the letter focuses on enrollees who purchase a reference plan (the premiums equal the average of the three lowest-cost basic plans, as defined in the bill), because federal subsidies would be tied to that average. Such a plan would have an actuarial value of 70 percent, which represents the average share of costs for covered benefits that would be paid by the plan. Although premiums would vary by geographic area to reflect differences in average spending for health care and would also vary by age, the table shows the approximate national average for the reference planabout $5,300 for single policies and about $15,000 for family policies in 2016. Enrollees could purchase a more expensive plan or more extensive coverage for an additional, unsubsidized premiumand CBO anticipates that many enrollees would do that, so the average premiums actually paid in the exchanges would be higher (although average cost-sharing amounts could be lower than those shown in the table). The figures are presented for 2016 in order to illustrate the likely situation after the proposed changes in insurance markets were fully implemented. (A downside of that approach is that the figures are harder to compare with those observed in 2009.)
Under the House bill, the maximum share of income that enrollees would have to pay for the reference plan in 2013 would range from 1.5 percent for those with income less than or equal to 133 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL) to 12 percent for those with income equal to 400 percent of the FPL. (People with income below 150 percent of the FPL, however, would generally be eligible for Medicaid and thus ineligible for subsidies within the exchanges.) After 2013, those income-based caps would all be indexed so that the share of the premiums that enrollees (in each income band) paid would be maintained over time. As a result, the income-based caps would gradually become higher over time; for example, they are estimated to range from about 1.6 percent to about 12.8 percent in 2016. Enrollees with income below 350 percent of the FPL would also be given cost-sharing subsidies to raise the actuarial value of their coverage to specified levelsranging from 97 percent for those with income below 150 percent of the FPL to 72 percent for those with income between 300 percent and 350 percent of the FPL.
To illustrate the effects of those features, the table shows the amounts of income that would correspond to the midpoint of each FPL band, the resulting premiums that single individuals and families of four would have to pay for a reference plan if their income equaled that midpoint, and the share of their income that would be represented by the sum of the enrollee premiums and the average cost-sharing amount at that midpoint. For instance, a single person with income of $26,500 in 2016 (225 percent of the FPL) would pay a premium of about $1,900 (after getting a premium subsidy of 64 percent) and could expect to pay another $900 in cost sharing (net of federal subsidies); thus, the average payment by such a person for the premium and cost sharing combined is projected to be $2,800, or about 11 percent of income. A family of four with income of about $54,000 (also 225 percent of the FPL in 2016) could expect to pay about the same share of its income for premiums and cost sharing. (Because use of health care in a given year varies widely, many people would pay less in cost sharing than the average, but some would pay moresubject to the limits on out-of-pocket costs that are specified in the bill.)
The estimated average premiums and average cost-sharing amounts for the reference plan shown at the top of the tablebefore any subsidies are appliedare slightly higher than the premiums for the comparable plan shown in a similar table that CBO released on October 9 for the health care reform proposal introduced by the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, as amended by the committee. (That table represented an update to a table enclosed in a letter to Chairman Baucus on September 22 that addressed the earlier Chairmans mark.). Because the reference plans in both proposals would cover the same range of benefits and have the same extent of coverage (actuarial value), the difference in premiums cannot be attributed to a difference in coverage. Instead, the difference is the net result of a number of other provisions of each proposal and primarily reflects higher average health care costs projected for enrollees in the exchanges under the House bill than for enrollees in the exchanges under the Finance Committees proposal. That difference in average health costs would arise because exchange enrollees under the House bill would be slightly less healthy, on average, than exchange enrollees under the Finance Committees proposala difference that itself reflects a number of opposing factors described in the letter.

Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) is an international environmental education and science partnership which coordinates the work of students (aged 5 to 18), teachers and scientists from 48 countries on five continents to study and better understand the global environment. Accurate ground reference data is fundamental to the use of remotely sensed data for land cover classification and mapping. Because very little ground reference data has been collected, the accuracy of many land cover maps may be questioned, thus accurate land cover ground reference data is an important need that could be addressed through GLOBE scientist-student collaboration. If earth systems scientists are to use student data, it is important that those data be as accurate as possible to ensure reliability of research results. Thus a key question for this research is whether student collected data are accurate enough to support rigorous scientific investigations. This paper describes results of the GLOBE Science-Education Team on Data Validation and Accuracy Assessment's collaboration with teachers and students to: (1) design and test the pre-protocol learning activities; (2) test the protocols intended to guide the collection and analysis of data; and (3) implement the learning activities and protocols to determine the relative accuracy of student collected versus professionally collected land cover data. To ensure the most accurate classification of land cover possible, a new international hierarchical land cover classification system, the Modified Unesco Classification (MUC) system was developed. GLOBE Data Collection Protocols and methods were designed and implemented to test the accuracy of student collected reference data were designed and implemented. Students who collected land cover reference data using GLOBE protocols, obtained data which are at least as accurate as that collected by professionals.

Hundreds of years ago, human diseases, snares, spears or guns did not seriously threaten mountain gorillas. Thousands of mountain gorillas lived in the cool highland forests of east-central Africa. But acre-by-acre, farmers cut down the forests for farmland. Mountain gorillas were pushed higher and higher up the misty mountains.
Scientists did not know about mountain gorillas until 1902, when German captain Robert von Beringe shot two in the Virunga Mountains. The mountain gorilla's scientific name is Gorilla beringei beringei, after von Beringe.
Biologically, humans are very close to great apes–so close that we share 98.4 percent of our genes with chimpanzees and bonobos and 97.7 percent of our genes with gorillas. So close that a chimpanzee or a bonobo could give you a blood transfusion–or you could give blood to them. And the closer two species are, the easier it is for them to share common diseases.
Scientists think that the virus that causes AIDS originated in chimpanzees and infected humans when a chimp was butchered and eaten raw. Scientists believe chimpanzees have died from human diseases like polio, scabies, measles, influenza and pneumonia.
In 1988, a strange disease struck mountain gorillas in Rwanda; six gorillas died. Veterinarians examined the dead gorillas. They found evidence of measles in tissue and blood samples. Should the remaining gorillas be given a human measles vaccine? There was a risk. But if veterinarians did nothing, the Virunga's mountain gorillas might be wiped out. 65 gorillas were vaccinated with a dart gun. Thankfully, the human measles vaccine worked on the gorillas. None of the vaccinated gorillas became sick and the infections stopped. It was now clear to scientists that human disease could threaten the gorilla's survival.
A 2002-2003 census found that there were about 700 mountain gorillas. By contrast, in 1989 there were only about 625 mountain gorillas. Captive gorillas are lost forever to those who need them most: their fellow gorillas struggling to survive in the wild. Read Gorilla Doctors by Pamela S. Turner or view the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International website. THE END
