Amino Acid Therapy
Because mild symptoms of Benign Prostate Hyperplasia(BPH) may not necessarily lead to more serious complications, doctors will generally not recommend surgery except in the most severe cases. In moderate to severe cases, prescription therapy may be used to alleviate symptoms and reduce the risk of complications. In most mild to moderate cases of BPH, doctors will usually prefer "watchful waiting". In these cases, many patients use various dietary supplements to provide relief from the discomfort and inconvenience of the urinary symptoms of BPH. A formula of special amino acids is one of the most effective of these nutritional therapies.
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, and occur naturally in the body. Prostatic fluid has been found to contain particularly high concentrations of the amino acids glycine, alanine, and glutamic acid, and a special formula of these three substances has been used for decades to treat the urinary symptoms of BPH.
In the 1950's, a group of American doctors noticed that patients being given this amino acid supplementation for an allergic condition were experiencing relief from BPH symptoms. They then conducted a controlled study(1) which showed that this therapy was indeed effective in relieving the common urinary symptoms such as urgency, discomfort, night frequency, and delayed flow. A second, more comprehensive study by another group of doctors confirmed these findings in 1962(2). While the exact method of action is not fully understood, it is thought that, like other nutritional and herbal supplements, the formula works through a diuretic and anti-edemic effect, reducing excess swelling of prostate and surrounding tissues and encouraging normal urine flow.
Amino Acid Therapy is normally given in the form of capsules, to be taken regularly with meals. Studies show that symptomatic relief occurs as long as the supplement is taken, and normally reoccur when therapy is stopped. For more information on this and other nutritional supplements for prostate health, see our men's health links.

Good day,
I've Googled this and I get contradictory answers on whether my laptop supports SATA3 or if it even can accept SSD drives at all. Some people say they installed an SSD drive but it runs at the normal speed of a standard hard drive...
It's an ASUS G73SW. It has 2 hard drive bays, and I'd like to add 2 SSDs in and (if it makes a big performance difference) RAID0 them.
I also tried calling Asus but couldn't get through at the time.
Anyone have any idea?
Thank you in advance.

Cleveland awaits Friday's RNC vote in Chicago formally choosing the city to host 2016 convention
CLEVELAND - One month to the day after the Republican Site Selection Committee recommended Cleveland to host the 2016 Republican National Convention the full RNC will vote to formally approve the choice.
The vote will come Friday in Chicago during the RNC's annual summer meeting. While publicly things have been quiet since Cleveland was recommended on July 8, privately the work has been going on behind the scenes negotiating the details.
"Those have been necessarily confidential negotiations but all indications are that those went as smoothly as those could have been hoped for and that we're ready for a smooth vote on Friday," said Cuyahoga County Republican Chairman Rob Frost who will be part of a roughly ten member contingent from Cleveland heading to Chicago.
"While the delegation is going from Cleveland I don't think there is any formal presentation plan," said Frost. "I thin we're all done presenting the merits. It's actually up to Enid Mickelsen the chair of the Site Selection Committee to make the presentation on behalf of site selection to tell their fellow members of the RNC why they are recommending Cleveland."
The RNC has 168 voting members including at least three from each state. The only remaining question to be decided is what date the convention will start in 2016 June 27 or July 18.
"I don't expect to see [Chairman Reince Priebus] set a date and see the RNC set a date on Friday. I think that will come maybe a month from now, maybe two months from now sometime by this November."

College Hockey:Flynn, Nyquist pour it on as Maine blasts North Dakota
ORONO, Maine — It was quite the series-opening game between No. 2 North Dakota and No. 12 Maine, with a combined 10 goals and 59 penalty minutes.
The Black Bears got the better on the scoreboard.
Junior forward Brian Flynn scored twice, and junior forward Gustav Nyquist added a goal and two assists in Maine's 7-3 victory on Friday.
A five-goal first period did the trick for the Black Bears, and it took less than a minute for the scoring stampede to start.
Senior center Bobby Dee flicked a rebound past Sioux goaltender Brad Eidsness after just 49 seconds.
Maine doubled its advantage on its first power-play opportunity when Flynn scored on a beauty of a shot.
Later in the first period, Flynn got sandwiched by two Fighting Sioux players, resulting in North Dakota defender Andrew MacWilliam getting sent off with a game misconduct call and a five-minute contact to the head penalty.
In the last minute of the major penalty, Flynn found payback in its purest form, with a scintillating goal off of passes by Nyquist and junior forward Spencer Abbott.
At 3-0, North Dakota coach Dave Hakstol pulled Eidsness from the game in favor of Aaron Dell.
At first, Dell seemed up to the task, diving across the crease to deflect Nyquist's shot.
The Fighting Sioux (3-1-1) started to chip away at the deficit, with freshman Derek Rodwell scoring a short-handed goal just over half way through the first period.
But it didn't take long for the Black Bears (2-1-2) to extend their lead back to three, when just five seconds into their sixth power play of the period, junior defender Will O'Neill scored off the faceoff.
Sophomore goalie Shawn Sirman kept the lead where it was, with two brilliant power-play saves off of consecutive Fighting Sioux shots.
The Black Bears closed the period just how they started it, by getting on the scoreboard one more time. With the puck loose in Fighting Sioux territory, Dell left the crease to clear it away. Nyquist managed to block the clearance, gather the puck and calmly flick it in for Maine's fifth and final goal of the period.
Just like in the first, the Black Bears found the back of the net early in the second period. Sophomore forward Kyle Beattie did the honors, putting in the rebound off of freshman forward Mark Anthoine's shot.
Just over eight minutes into the second period, the Black Bears added lucky number seven, when Abbott won the puck deep in the Fighting Sioux zone, and found Tanner House for the seventh goal of the contest.
The Fighting Sioux cut into the deficit with five minutes remaining in the second period, doubling their goal total during their first and only power play of the period. Center Brad Malone found open forward Matt Frattin for the quick score.
The third period saw very little offensive action from both teams, as the Fighting Sioux started to control the majority of play.
North Dakota scored the only goal in the period off a shot by center Brad Malone bounced around Sirman and eventually into the back of the net. However, the Fighting Sioux couldn't add to the goal, as numerous power-play opportunities came up fruitless as Sirman and company deflected away every chance.

Someone out there thought it was cruel to walk your dog in the rain, thus The Dogbrella ($30). For goodness sakes, it's a dog. They roll in other dog's poop. They eat their own throw-up. A little rain isn't going to trouble them. Just sayin'.
Yup. Silly. Unless you have a dog that will not go outside in the rain. Ever. Even if it rains all day. For days.
In which case, your money is better spent on therapy for your dog's issues. (=
SO CUTE! I should definitely get my dog this because she is a brat and a princess and never potties outside in the rain!
This is great if you have a dog with thick fur. As it takes forever to dry a dog off after every walk if you live where there is torrential downpours. Its not for dog it for owners.
My dog refuses to go out in the rain, and this problem is not uncommon. So the umbrella isn't a bad idea. However, I wouldn't be able to use it for fear of being mocked.

First Team
A bittersweet win for the team who lose Nigel De Jong for the rest of the season. Adriano Galliani: "It's a big loss and takes the shine off the win."
MILAN - Here's what players and staff had to say after this afternoon's win over Torino:
"A bitter sweet Sunday. De Jong's Tendine has snapped and that means the season is over for him. It's a big loss for the team and takes the shine off the win. 10 points in 4 matches. It's a real shame we dropped all those points at the start but the team has always been competitive. I've known President Berlusconi since November 1979 and he's a real motivator. If he'd been here since August we'd be in the running for title. The team is working well now and we're winning even when making mistakes. In the last four games, we're back getting points the way we used to. The top 6 are good teams and we'll have to do very well to get any higher than we are. We're not thinking of Roma, there's Reggina in the cup to come and Pescara who beat Genoa today. We started the season with a handicap of our own making. Muntari is doing well and Ambrosini is as well. We thought about sending Strasser out on loan but we decided to keep him. We have a big squad and we'll have to make up for the absence of De Jong."
"I wanted to keep on playing and get another goal but the important thing today was the win and the three points. We're very happy. 13 goals are enough to make anyone happy. I want to keep on going like this. Nocerino's first goal of the season was a real joy for all of us. Helping players who make mistakes is something that marks us out as we're a great group. It's great to hear the fans chanting. De Jong is a great player and he could really have helped us a lot. Let's hope he gets back soon."
"I scored and I'm happy. It was a great day. We won a tough match. I said to De Sciglio yesterday that I'd score from his cross and we came close today. He's a great guy and he'll have a great career. I'm happy here and I try to show my attachment to the club every time I take to the pitch. It's terrible about De Jong as he always gives everything in training and on the pitch. We'll try to keep on pushing for him. If we hadn't dropped those points at the start of the season, we'd be in a good position now."
"I was comfortable on the left as well. And when we play like we did today everything is good, it's all a lot easier. Crossing is part of my game. We have to get the most out of Pazzini with crosses from the middle. We hope that Nigel will get back without any complications. It's a big loss."
"Nigel is not well and he'll go to the hospital in the next few days. We're very sorry and it's a real shame for the team, he was helping us a lot. Best wishes to Nigel and we hope he'll be back soon. We played a good second half and I'm happy. It was a good game."
MASSIMILIANO ALLEGRI (Press conference)
"I think the win was deserved. It's always tough to play against Torino. It's an important win, the third ina row and was especially important after Roma won last night. We're still a bit off but we have time to recover and things to improve on but now we have to think about the cup match on Thursday. We didn't play the ball to feet enough in the first part of the match and as a result we didn't look dangerous. We made a mistake to go behind in the match and Robinho scored a great goal to get us back into it. The second half was a lot easier. A coach, even a good one, can only do so much. The club has always been behind me both Adriano Galliani and President Berlusconi who has a lot of enthusiasm. We're very sorry for De Jong as he was doing well and he'll be out for a long time. In that position we have Ambrosini and Muntari will come back. We'll see what happens in the transfer window, the club is monitoring things closely. I doubt that either Balotelli or Sniejder will be let leave their clubs. Today we started with a handicap of our own making but it was an attitude problem. Montolivo could play in front of the defense but he's doing better where he is at the moment so he'll have to adapt."

Any reference on how to solve the problem $Ax + c = \lambda Bx$ , where $A$, $B$ are full rank matrices, $c$ and $x$ are vectors and $\lambda$ is an unknown constant. I want to solve for both $x$ and $\lambda$. Without the vector c, this is a Generalized Eigen problem and is easy to solve.
I actually don't need the value of $\lambda$ I care only about $x$. I just need a citation and I can follow it up.

Bethenny Frankel has been filming her talk show for the past year. She started filming it shortly after she filed for divorce, and this has been her therapy. However, ratings were not as good as they should have been and they have decided to cancel the show. And the news seems to come as a relief for her. According to a new letter from Bethenny on her website from Feb. 25, Bethenny Frankel is now addressing the cancellation in an open letter on her website.
Last week, the news broke that the show had been cancelled and would stop filming after the season ends this upcoming May. And since she has been asked how she feels about the cancellation, her answer may surprise viewers. Even though she has been eager and happy to film the show, it sounds like she is almost disappointed with the experience.
"In order to have the freedom to create a talk show, there are required elements that the job entails. This is the part that I didn't enjoy so much and that wasn't authentic to me. In addition, I tend to be quite inappropriate which may not be suitable for daytime television or for the suits that run network television nationwide," she reveals, adding, "Unlike my time on Bravo, I felt a bit diluted, filtered and somewhat constricted. I am a free spirit."
So, does this mean that she will return to reality television? In her letter, she reveals that she will focus on her daughter, her Skinnygirl business and her writing. She promises people that she will stay in touch with them, like she always has.
What do you think of her show being cancelled?

Baseball drops fourth in a row with 5-1 loss to EIU
Despite six strong innings from starter Pete Slavonic, the Salukis committed four errors and stranded nine runners against six different Eastern pitchers in Tuesday's loss at Abe Martin Field.
CHARLESTON, Ill. - The Southern Illinois baseball team will look to snap a three-game losing streak with a 3 p.m. game Tuesday at Eastern Illinois. It will be the Salukis' final game before the conference season starts this weekend.
TUESDAY'S STARTER Brad Drust will make his second start of the season. The lefty made his first start of the season on Wednesday, March 13 at Middle Tennessee State. He allowed two runs off four hits in four inning of work. A redshirt junior, Drust has also made four relief appearances in 2013 and picked up his first win of the year on Feb. 22 at Jacksonville State.
EASTERN ILLINOIS SERIES NOTES Southern Illinois leads the all-time series, 56-28-1. The series dates back to Abe Martin's first year as head coach in 1947. The Salukis have won eight of the last 11 meetings, but the Panthers beat SIU 5-1 in Carbondale in 2012. The two schools have met annually for a single game since 2005. During that recent stretch, SIU is 6-2 against the Panthers. Southern Illinois has won its last three road games against Eastern Illinois and has not lost in Charleston since dropping both games of a double header with EIU on April 7, 1993.
SCOUTING THE PANTHERS After starting the season 3-5, Eastern Illinois has lost nine straight games. The Panthers opened the home portion of their season this past weekend with a pair of losses to Austin Peay. The third game of the series was cancelled due to weather. EIU ranks 10th out of the 11-team Ohio Valley Conference with a .243 team batting average. Second baseman Nathan Sopena leads the team with a .316 batting average and five stolen bases. Jake Johansmeier will make his second start of the season. He has also made six relief appearances this season.
CLOSE LOSES Four of SIU's last five loses have been by two runs or less, and the last two have been in extra innings. SIU has not lost by more than three runs all season. The Salukis are 2-4 in one-run games and 2-4 in two-run games. Southern Illinois is 5-2 in games decided by three runs or more.
LOOKING AHEAD SIU will open the conference schedule on Friday, March 22 with a three-game series at Indiana State. The Salukis will then return home for five consecutive nonconference games at Abe Martin Field. SIU will host Belmont on Tuesday, March 26 before welcoming Eastern Kentucky to town for a three-game series beginning on Thursday, March 28. The homestand will conclude on Tuesday, April 2 against Murray State.

Comity (kom'-it-ee)
A friendly social atmosphere; social harmony; a loose widespread community based on common social institutions.
(In collaboration with Chess Media Group, we have released the white paper a Guide to Understanding Social CRM)
How, when and where businesses need to engage with their customers has changed significantly and rapidly due to the broad adoption of social media as an accepted form of communication. The change is driven by a number of factors, but near the top of the list is the ease with which people now share experiences however, whenever and wherever they want. People like to communicate on social networking sites, share information on blogs and micro blogs, and connect on professional networks.
Purchasers of goods and services are more knowledgeable, empowered and connected than ever before. Prior to making purchasing decisions, customers now turn to peers and non-traditional industry influencers for answers through very public social networking platforms — more so than any other source for information gathering.
Businesses need to adapt to these changes in order to prosper; however, most do not fully understand how to shift their approach to interact with their customers online, or the impact this change will have on increasing their sales, growing long-term loyalty, and protecting their reputation.
In order to succeed in this hyper-connected environment, organizations will need to adapt their business strategy, add new technology, expand their marketing and PR efforts, and shift their internal culture. Formalizing a Social CRM strategy will allow a business to locate, educate and engage their current and potential customers where they prefer to communicate. Simply put, taking the conversation to social media channels will help attract the attention of your targeted audience members who turn to the Internet to find solutions to the business challenges they are looking to overcome.
Organizations also need to understand that Social CRM strategies and technology offerings should complement, but not replace traditional Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software — the platform businesses have traditionally used to hold and analyze customer data. While many traditional CRM solutions are highly regarded and excellent at automating processes and managing the customer data required to respond to customer requests, manage resources and information required to close deals, and provide management reports to track sales, Social CRM focuses on the conversations taking place online about your industry. Social CRM not only addresses how you will respond to this new kind of customer and the demands that he or she puts on your company, but also how you can engage non- traditional industry influences like bloggers. The key difference between Social CRM and traditional CRM is that Social CRM is based on a strategy for customer engagement not managing customer data.
Business success will require a coordinated effort.

Offsite web links can be extraordinarily useful, as they eliminate the need to maintain vast quantities of information on the local server. Yet offsite web links can also be extraordinarily frustrating, as remote websites and pages on them often move or are eliminated without notice; from one day to the next, any number of remote links may become dead. Dead links are of course undesirable, but finding them in a website like ours, with thousands of pages, can be well-nigh impossible without serious attention to organization.
Accordingly we have concentrated almost all offsite links on this one web page, organized by category, so that they may be found and tested with greater ease. Other web pages on our site, rather than pointing directly to offsite material, generally point to sections in this page where relevant links to remote sites may be found. Links on this page will be tested from time to time to ensure that they are alive and well; of course, readers are always welcome to point out suspected dead links by sending e-mail comments using the link at the bottom of this or any other page in our site.
N.B. By definition, offsite links include any/all pages not on University of Texas at Austin web servers. Also, offsite pages open in a new browser window so that you may easily browse both areas without getting lost. (Links on Linguistics Research Center pages allow exploration of the LRC website and connect to the encompassing College of Liberal Arts and University of Texas at Austin for other materials.)
One project inside our Indo-European Documentation Center used to be the maintenance of publication lists, and occasionally "home pages," for individual Indo-European scholars; but as these listings grew to unwieldy size and/or too often became outdated without notice, we reluctantly relinquished this task. Instead we link, below, to home (for example "CV") or publication pages for Indo-European Scholars when we know the URLs -- or, alternately, to Wikipedia biographical entries when we find them. IE scholars wishing their web pages to be included below should use the "Send comments" link at the bottom of any LRC web page, and supply in the message all relevant information. Ideally, a scholar's home page should be written in a widely understood language.
By no means are all the sites below dedicated to Indo-European; however, all have at least some content relevant to Indo-European languages and culture.

28-12-2011 14:55 [ORGANIX was a protest band i was part of, based in guernsey during the late 80s/early 90s, when the island was at its most pivotal period during its extremely rapid change from a mostly fishing/agricultural, virtually crime-free inter-dependent community to one of almost exclusive sub-servience to international offshore banking. Apart from the (then) new zero-tolerance policing, clear corruption between local politicians and local business (which actually was, and still is in many cases, the same thing), the utter disregard and violation of our delicate and living local culture and environment (which, only 15-20 years later is virtually extinct -i could go on how obscenely people in the poorer bracket, particularly the elderly, who only knew fishing and growing, then ending up on benifits, being sent on humiliating and degrading work schemes were/are treated), apart from all of that, it, to us, was a 'frontline' due to it becomming a crucial hub of offshore international banking/money laundering etc (and to some of us it still is.)]

The Queen of Clean, Linda Cobb, offers great tips to not only keep your white clothes white, but will also make your dingy clothes look like new. Her tips also extend to your sheets and towels.
Check out her suggestions below:
Separate your colors: "The biggest mistake people make is that they don't really separate their loads," says Linda Cobb, author of nine books, including Talking Dirty Laundry with the Queen of Clean. "Even light colors can transfer onto whites, so make a pile for clothes that are white only, no exceptions, then wash light clothes together in their own load."
Don't use too much detergent: More sometimes translates to less. "Too much detergent and fabric softener coats fabrics," says Cobb. "When there is a lot of residue on clothes it acts like a magnet and sticks to dirt." Yes, too much detergent actually makes your clothes dirtier. No matter how much detergent you use, be sure your load of clothes are well rinsed.
Consider optical brighteners: Also called "bluing" agents, these products add a trace of blue to yellowed or dingy whites. Since white and yellow are complimentary colors, the products create the appearance of a whiter white. "You can use Mrs. Stewart's Liquid Bluing, which works fantastic," says Cobb, "but follow the directions. You can't pour it on clothes directly or put in the machine's detergent dispenser, or it will spot them." Cobb suggest keeping a clean food jar in your laundry area to mix the bluing with water, then add the mixture to your laundry.
Dry clothes on low heat: Cobb says heat can singe or scorch fabrics, making them appear yellow. She strongly suggests always following the drying directions on the label. She further suggests you always use a lower heat setting, and taking the clothes out of the dryer while they're a little bit damp.
Only use bleach on cotton: "Chlorine bleach can be very damaging to some fabrics," says Cobb. It can actually turn some fabrics yellow or grey when you are trying to turn them white. Cobb continues by saying, "Bleach is fine for cotton socks, underwear and towels, but isn't great for poly-blends."
Try lemon juice: Lemon juice is a natural bleaching agent and works particularly well on white clothes. Cobb suggests using the hottest water that's safe for the fabric, and mixing in half a cup of lemon juice. "Then soak the clothes for an hour or overnight, and wash as usual the next day."
Add borax: "Borax softens hard water, removes residue and boosts the quality of detergent," says Cobb. "It's all-natural and safe to use, and it works great on whitening whites." Be sure to follow the directions on the box.
Try automatic dishwater detergent: Dishwater detergent "has brighteners and very good cleaners in it, making it good for things like kids' socks and underwear," says Cobb. The brand is not important; just add a couple of tablespoons into a couple of gallons of water, and wash clothes.
Hydrogen peroxide: "Hydrogen peroxide is 100 percent natural and you can make a great spot-remover from it," says Cobb. Mix one part Dawn Original or Dawn Ultra dish detergent (it must be one of these two and not another Dawn product, according to Cobb) and two parts hydrogen peroxide. Then work the mixture into the collar, underarms or any other tough spots on clothes. You can keep the mixture in a squirt bottle for easy access. You can also use this trick: combine ½ cup of hydrogen peroxide with ½ cup of baking soda and 1 cup water and use that on spots and stains.
White Brite: If you prefer not to make your own whitener, Cobb loves White Brite. "It removes yellowing, dinginess and even rust stains. You can use it on colored clothes, too," she says. "A little goes a long way."
A bit more about the Queen of Clean: Linda Cobb has been recognized as the "go-to" cleaning women for television shows such as Oprah, Dr. Phil, The View, The Today Show, and Live with Regis and Kelly. She also does radio spots. She is the best-selling author of Talking Dirty with the Queen of Clean, The Queen of Clean Conquers Clutter, and Talkind Dirty Laundry with the Queen of Clean.

NEW YORK — Karen DeCrow, president of the National Organization for Women during the 1970s, a turbulent period in which she helped lead campaigns for passage of the Equal Rights Amendment and against sex discrimination in education and sports, died Friday at her home in Jamesville, N.Y. , a suburb of Syracuse. She was 76.
The cause was melanoma, said her longtime friend Rowena Malamud, who is president of the Greater Syracuse chapter of NOW. Ms. DeCrow was the group's vice president.
Ms. DeCrow was a writer, lawyer, and tireless campaigner for women's rights. Her causes were national but also local. In the early 1970s, she represented a 7-year-old girl who wanted to play Little League baseball but was being denied.
"Over my dead body will girls ever play Little League baseball," a coach told her at the time. "If one of them ever struck out a boy, he would be psychologically scarred for life.''
The girl played, but Ms. DeCrow was not done with sports. As president of NOW from 1974 to 1977, she fought off pressure from the National Collegiate Athletic Association to limit the reach of Title IX, the federal law passed in 1972 that bans sex discrimination in educational institutions that receive federal money.
"I just hope all that playing and practicing won't keep women out of the library, studying, learning, getting ready to take advantage of Title VII, the really important federal law, the one that prohibits job discrimination,'' Ms. DeCrow said in 1997.
Not all of her campaigns were successful. The Equal Rights Amendment, which would make discrimination against women unconstitutional, has yet to pass, but not for lack of effort by Ms. DeCrow. During the 1970s and '80s, she crisscrossed the United States in support of it.
Karen Lipschultz was born in Chicago.
She graduated from Northwestern University in 1959 with a degree in journalism.
She struggled to find appealing work after college, finally accepting a job as fashion editor at Golf Digest, though she had little interest in fashion or golf.
In 1967, after a brief first marriage, she was living in Syracuse with her second husband, Roger DeCrow, a computer scientist, and working in a small publishing house when she and some of her female colleagues realized that they were being paid less than their male counterparts.
She decided to join the nascent group NOW and then formed a chapter in Syracuse and became president of it.
"I wasn't a feminist," she told the Times in 1975. "I just wanted more money."
By 1968, she was serving on the board of the national group.
As president she served without pay, the last NOW president to do so. "I joined NOW on an issue of pay," she said. "Of course, now I don't get any pay at all."
Ms. DeCrow ran unsuccessfully for mayor of Syracuse in 1969 while attending the Syracuse University School of Law in her early 30s. She graduated in 1972, the only woman in her class, she told interviewers.
In 1988 Ms. DeCrow was a cofounder of World Women Watch, dedicated to combating sex discrimination worldwide. In 2009 she was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame.
Both of her marriages ended in divorce. She leaves a sister, Claudia Lipschultz.

Forget Red States and Blue States, now there are Wine States and Beer States. While alcohol of choice isn't exactly going to be the best way to demarcate political affiliation at any point, apparently there are some pretty clear differences when you look at the political donations from alcohol producers to legislators.
I know this will come as a shock, but...
Democrats = wine
Republicans = beer
Of course, it's not completely black and white, but that's the general trend. According to the web site OpenSecrets.Org, which is run by the Center for Responsive Politics, Democratic lawmakers get more contributions from wine companies than beer and spirits companies, and Republican lawmakers are just the opposite.
The question is, why does this not come as a big surprise? Because I'm a democrat and I love wine and I live in California which is both generally Democratic and the country's largest producer of wine? I'm not sure that it's quite that easy, but that might have something to do with it.
For the most part, the largest political contributions made by the wine industry come from California, and so it stands to reason that they would tend to support Democratic causes more. And while it's not quite so consistent, a lot of the big breweries come from states that tend to be Republican controlled (Coors in Colorado, for instance).
The biggest wine and spirits companies tend to spread money around across parties, it seems. Anheuser-Busch InBev contributed equally across party lines last year, according to the report.
So why should we care about this? Well for starters, it may be relevant in the upcoming fight over the heinous piece of legislation called HR1161, which you should contact your congressional representative about, and make sure they vote against it if it comes up for a vote.
Second, it's also worth noting what a puny little amount of money wine producers in particular, and alcohol producers in general spend in Washington compared to other industries. Alcohol producers in aggregate give a few paltry million dollars, compared to say $38 million by the National Association of Realtors. Perhaps someone with more math skills than I could normalize the contributions by size of each industry and see whether, as I suspect, the wine and spirits industry isn't working the American system quite as well as it could be.

The US
Headline: US hails 'courageous' Syria opposition vote to attend peace conference
Read: Michael Mazarr writes an interesting piece about America's disillusionment from the idea of saving failing states-
After a decade of conflict and effort with precious little to show for it, however, the recent era of interventionist U.S. state building is drawing to a close. And although there are practical reasons for this shift -- the United States can no longer afford such missions, and the public has tired of them -- the decline of the state-building narrative reflects a more profound underlying truth: the obsession with weak states was always more of a mania than a sound strategic doctrine. Its passing will not leave the United States more isolationist and vulnerable but rather free the country to focus on its more important global roles.
Quote: "Since the American withdrawal, we've had a friendly relationship, but this strong bilateral relationship doesn't mean we need American forces here", Iraqi PM Nour al-Maliki discussing Iraq's basic needs from the US at this point.
Number: 25, the percentage of CFR members who view 'bolstering the economies of developing countries' as a top US priority.
Headline: Palestinian terrorist and boy hurt in IAF targeted strike in Gaza
To Read: Popular Israeli writer Etgar Keret criticizes the proposed ban on the word 'Nazi' which was recently suggested in the Knesset (and he uses the following anecdote about his father, a holocaust survivor, to make his point)-
More than three decades ago, he once found himself at a train station in Norway, where a group of local drunks were harassing two Chinese tourists. The drunks called the tourists "slant eyes" and "yellow dogs." My father stood between the drunks and the Chinese and demanded that the hooligans leave. In response, he was also showered with curses and threats.
When the Norwegians called him a "kike," he called them "Nazis."
What my father did, according to the Knesset members who support the "Nazi" ban, was a criminal act that justifies a prison sentence. And in their Brave New Israel, it's worth noting, the racist Norwegians would have been well within their rights.
Quote: "I think I can change things for the better in this country," he said. "I'm doing it now as well, in many areas, mostly in education, higher education and technological entrepreneurship. But I think I could do a lot more from a presidential position", Israeli Nobel Prize Laureate Dan Shechtman announcing his bid for the Presidency of Israel.
Number: 134, the number of US members of congress who have publicly denounced the ASA boycott.
The Middle East
Headline: Syrian Opposition Votes to Attend Peace Talks
To Read: Ehud Yaari examines the complicated Egypt-Hamas-Israel triangle and the current state of tensions at the Sinai peninsula-
The Egyptian army's substantial deployment in previously forbidden areas of central and eastern Sinai -- together with the increase in Egyptian-Israeli security cooperation and the isolation of Gaza by restricting traffic at the Rafah terminal and blocking more than a thousand smuggling tunnels between the strip and the Sinai -- has created a new geopolitical configuration in the peninsula, one worthy of U.S. support. Stabilizing and pacifying Sinai would remove the danger of terrorist operations that threaten both Egyptian-Israeli relations and the safety of shipping through the Suez Canal and its connecting sea lanes. Such an outcome would also loosen Hamas's grip on Gaza; indeed, some Hamas leaders have already expressed willingness to extend concessions to the Palestinian Authority and seek formal reunification of the West Bank and Gaza. This is but one indication that the new realities in the Egypt-Israel-Hamas triangle are bound to have a major impact on the Palestinian scene.
Quote: "another defining moment in our road map to democracy", Ehab Badawy, a spokesman for the office of the interim president, hailing the suspicious 98.1% approval rate Egypt's new constitution got in a vote.
Number: 70, the number of fertility clinics in Iran (quite an anomaly in the Muslim world).
The Jewish World
Headline: Canada's PM urges Abbas to negotiate with 'Jewish State of Israel'
To Read: John Judis tells the fascinating story of Harry Truman's substantial role in the inception of the state of Israel-
To be sure, Truman had no regrets about Israel after he left office. Israeli Prime Minister Ben Gurion recounted how when, during a meeting in New York in 1961, he praised the former president for his "constant sympathy with our aims in Israel … tears suddenly sprang to his eyes." But in the years leading up to, and in the months following, American recognition of Israel in May 1948, Truman was filled with doubt and regret about his role. The rosy portrayal of Truman's unquestioning commitment to and constant sympathy with Israel, which is often linked to a picture of the younger Truman as a Christian Zionist, is dead wrong.
Quote: "What do you mean 'helped to create'? I am Cyrus", a nice historical quote by President Truman from the New Republic article (in reference to the Persian emperor who let the Jews return to the land of Israel).
Number: $110m, the amount of money that Jewish security organizations have received from the department of Homeland security since the mid-2000s.

Traders Bet on OmniVision Technologies to Buck the Post-Earnings Trend
Schaeffer's Investment Research
OVTI will report earnings after tomorrow's close.
Call volume is accelerated on
OmniVision Technologies
(NASDAQ:OVTI) today, ahead of tomorrow night's turn in the earnings confessional. The front- and back-month series of options are in focus, with a number of contracts having traded at the June 15 and July 16 calls. The majority of the collective 663 positions exchanged have done so at the ask price, and implied volatility is higher at both strikes, pointing to buy-to-open activity. In other words, it appears some of today's traders are hoping for some earnings-induced upside for OVTI.
The near-the-money June 15 calls were purchased for a volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of $0.82, meaning speculators will begin to profit with each step north of $15.82 (strike plus VWAP) OVTI takes through the close on June 21. The VWAP for the out-of-the-money July 16 calls is $0.52, making breakeven $16.52, or 10.4% above the stock's current perch of $14.96.
Should the stock follow in the historical footsteps of its post-earnings price action, today's traders could be at risk of surrendering the initial cash outlay -- which is also the maximum loss on the play. On average, OmniVision has shed a respective 8.5% and 6.6% in the subsequent session and week after its last seven reports.
This may be why -- outside of today's option activity -- puts have been in order. At the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), the equity's 10-day put/call volume ratio of 0.73 ranks in the 94th percentile of its annual range. Simply stated, puts have been bought to open over calls with more rapidity just 6% of the time within the past year.
In similar fashion, the equity's
Schaeffer's put/call open interest ratio (SOIR)
of 0.77 ranks higher than 94% of other such readings taken in the last 12 months. What this means is that short-term speculators have rarely been more put-heavy toward OVTI.
On the charts, the shares have displayed some upward momentum of late, and have bounced 24% from their most recent low of $12.06 -- tagged on April 22. Plus, the stock has outperformed the broader
S&P 500 Index
(INDEXSP:.INX) by nearly seven percentage points over the past month. OmniVision has found a technical friend in the form of its 10-day moving average, which has not only given the stock a lift since late April, but also contained last Thursday's modest pullback.
Despite the negative price action that typically occurs following OVTI's earnings report, the stock has matched or exceeded analysts' bottom-line estimates in five of the last seven announcements. For the fourth quarter, Wall Street is calling for a profit of 21 cents per share for OmniVision Technologies.

Because of its higher elevation and snowfall levels, Tahoe Donner's road maintenance needs are more significant than other parts of Truckee. To meet that need, Tahoe Donner homeowners pay an additional assessment (tax) – typically used for accelerating the town's slurry sealing and asphalt overlay schedules for the subdivision.
It's called the Truckee Special Service Area 1, a.k.a. "TSSA 1," and the fund has an approximate fund balance of $5.2 million, accumulating at a rate of $589,000 per year. Aside from roadway maintenance activities, TSSA 1 funds may be used for trails and improved roadside parking in the town right-of-way which directly benefits the Tahoe Donner community (i.e., TSSA 1 service area).
Each year, the Truckee Town Council reviews the town's pavement management program along with any eligible projects that directly benefit the TSSA 1 service area. In recent years, the Tahoe Donner staff and board of directors have reviewed these plans and requested the town designate TSSA 1 funds for additional projects that would benefit Tahoe Donner in addition to the regular roadway maintenance activities. Recently these funds were used to improve the on-street parking area at the Tahoe Donner Cross Country Center along with completing a class 1 trail design from Tahoe Donner to downtown Truckee.
As the town and Tahoe Donner both look to encourage non-motorized transportation, a proposed trail has been explored that would run from the Northwoods Boulevard entrance to Tahoe Donner (by the power lines and monument sign) to Bridge Street downtown. The paved trail, known as Trail 13, would be for multiple uses like hiking and biking but not for motorized vehicles.
The estimated length of the trail is just over one mile. Per the Town of Truckee's Trails and Bikeways Master Plan, Trail 13 is proposed as a Class 1 path and its design standards are as follows: separated from a roadway with a minimum ten foot wide hard surface path. The trail may or may not include a separate soft surface trail running parallel to the hard surface path.
Following the Tahoe Donner Board of Directors recommendation, the town council approved the use of TSSA 1 funds for an environmental impact study. The study, completed last summer, determined that the trail could be built with minimal impact to the area in question. Initial design parameters are now being developed.
Now the town is considering whether to use TSSA 1 funds for construction of the trail. At its March and April board meetings, the Tahoe Donner Board of Directors discussed the issue and made a recommendation to the town to program TSSA 1 funds to construct the first phase (one quarter mile) of Trail 13 from Northwoods Boulevard to Euer Valley Road South. Additionally, the town is reviewing their five year pavement management plan, which may impact the available town funds which are augmented by TSSA 1 funds to provide for the accelerated road maintenance in Tahoe Donner. Potential shortfalls in town budgeting may impact the frequency of slurry sealing and road overlays in Tahoe Donner; however, the town staff does not believe modifications to the funding or current road maintenance levels will impact the proposed trail project.

You hear about it all the time. Parents are going back to school. As exciting as that might sound, finding time to study, work, and take care of a family may not be the easiest thing to manage. How do you know if going back to school is right for you, and if it is something you want to do, how do you mange this very puzzling balancing act? Here are a few tips that just might help.
· Ask for help- Do not be afraid to ask friends and family to chip in. If you are a parent and are trying to make a better life for your family, ask for their assistance. Explain to them that this will help you get a promotion or a better job, but you are just too tired to cook, clean, and do the laundry. Assign your children chores, and remember to reward them with gratefulness. Thank them at every opportunity, and watch how they suddenly begin to get an air of self-confidence about them, just for being a contributing member of the family.
· Make a schedule- Make sure that you have certain times where all you do is study and do homework. Don't let anyone interfere with your routine, unless of course, it can't be helped. Once you are in a routine, it will be easier for you to get things done in a timely manner. Just remind your family that when your work is done, you will be able to play.
· Save time for yourself- Now you're thinking, Time for myself? What does that even mean? It is important that you don't burn out. Burnout is easy when you have too many irons in the fire. Even if it is just 30 minutes a day, you will need those 30 minutes. Sit down outside, in your bedroom, or even in your car if you have to. Take some time to rest. Pour yourself a glass or wine or even drink a cup of hot tea. Time alone to rest will keep your energy level going. It will also give you some peace of mind when you feel stress rearing its ugly head. Don't let time alone become time unknown.
Especially in today's economy, the job market can be tough. Going back to school may be the answer to your dreams. It won't be easy, but nothing worthwhile ever is. Make a plan and move forward. Lots of people do it and receive great rewards. You can do it too. Just remember that just because you're a parent, doesn't mean you can't do something for yourself.

iPhone 5s data usage is among the highest of all cell phone users according to a recent study. The report compared Apple's newest phone to the older iPhone 3G device. According to Los Angeles Times on Jan. 23, iPhone 5s users had a voracious appetite for data.
JDSU's Location Intelligence Business Unit tracks data usage each year, and for 2013, it found iPhone 5s users demand seven times as much data as users of the iPhone 3G, the study's benchmark device.
iPhone 5s data usage in markets considered to be developing was much higher when compared to the benchmark device. iPhone 5 users consumed twenty times more data than iPhone 3G owners. Apple has ruled the roost for most data usage four years in a row now.
iPhone 5s data usage drives overall data consumption as much as 20 to 40 percent with each new generation model. Apple also made up six out of the top ten devices when ranked by data usage.
When it came to uploads, HTC device users led the way for data usage in developed markets. Samsung Galaxy S4 was number one in developing markets.
A usage imbalance was also discovered in this survey. Only 0.1 percent of 4G users on LTE networks accounted for one half of all the data downloaded. Some users sip data from a straw, whilst others truly drink from a fire hose.
What do you think about the iPhone 5s data usage story? Please drop in your comments below.

Phillips seals Palace promotion
by Stuart Vose
Former Sunderland man is Wembley hero.
Ex-Sunderland star Kevin Phillips was the hero as Crystal Palace secured their place in the Barclays Premier League for 2013-14 yesterday.
Phillips, 39, came off the bench against Watford at Wembley to fire the winning goal in extra time and seal promotion for Ian Holloway's side.
The striker, who began his career at Watford, netted from the penalty spot, blasting the ball high into the net after Marco Cassetti had brought down Wilfried Zaha.
"It was magnificent to score the winning goal," Phillips told the BBC after the game.
"I have experienced three losses in this game [play-off finals], so it was great to win."
Phillips had originally announced plans to retire at the end of the 2012-13 season, but manager Holloway has reportedly spoken of his desire to see the play-off hero stay on.
The Eagles finished fifth in the Championship to seal a play-off spot and saw off Brighton in the semi-finals thanks to two Zaha goals in the second leg.
Palace's win at Wembley means all 20 teams for the 2013-14 Barclays Premier League season are now confirmed.
The Eagles will be joined in the top flight by Cardiff City and Hull City, both of whom won automatic promotion.

Khloe Kardashian has been fighting for her marriage over the past couple of months and she has been trying to fix her marriage. And she is even sharing her struggles on "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," as she is sharing those odd phone calls with Lamar Odom. According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on Jan. 21, Khloe Kardashian revealed that her marital problems left her a "shattered person," but it sounds like Lamar doesn't think he is to blame.
Of course, she thinks that Lamar's behavior has played a role in shattering her as a person, but his friends don't see it that way. "He never asked her to feel that way or put her life on hold to help him," a source has revealed. Apparently, Lamar had been trying to hide his struggles from Khloe. "He went about his business and wanted to be left alone," says the insider. "He needed space to do whatever he wanted to do and he did so away from Khloe so he wouldn't hurt her."
Even though Lamar doesn't feel that he was to blame for Khloe's struggles in his marriage, she would probably argue the opposite. Instead of focusing on his marriage, he is focusing on getting back into the NBA.
What do you think of his attitude?

The hunt is on for the bear that mauled 45-year-old Terri Frana of Lake Mary, Florida. She had gone into the garage to grab bikes for her kids to ride down to her neighbor's house and just as soon as the kids left the bears were there. She first saw two in the driveway, so she walked to the patio area where she saw another five bears eating trash they had just pulled out of her garage, according to ABC News on April 13.
One of the black bears got up on their hind legs and mauled her, dragging her towards the woods. She managed to get away and get into the house. When her son came home he found his mother collapsed in the living room and called 911. She had at least three bear bites and cuts and scratches all over her body.
She was released Sunday morning and is recovering at home today. The wildlife officials have put out bear traps in the area and they searched all through the night on Saturday looking for the bears.According to CNN News on April 13, earlier reports claimed that the woman was attacked by several bears, but while there were many in the group, it was one black bear that attacked the woman.
Greg Workman, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, reported that the several bears were in the area but it was just one bear who turned on the woman. The Wildlife Conservation agency is urging folks to get bear-proof garbage cans as this is the time of year that bears are coming out of their winter home looking for food.
This attack came the same day that the agency warned about the spring bringing out the black bears moving around the neighborhoods looking for food with their cubs. "Now is the time to expect bears to show up looking for food, said Dave Telesco, who heads up the Wildlife Commissions bear management program. By getting the bear-proof garbage cans, the bears won't find any food at your home and they will move on.

Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett is scheduled to attend Friday evening's Penn State University Trustees' emergency meeting. It is an unusual appearance for the Governor, and the circumstance of the meeting, the sordid child molestation charges against Penn State coaching legend, Jerry Sandusky, is also unusual.
Why the Governor would impose himself on such a meeting has not been explained. But his interest in going to the meeting raises questions about Corbett's previous role or non-role in the Sandusky case.
In 1998, according to the recently released two-year grand jury report into the charges, the then Centre County District Attorney, Ray Gricar, had reviewed allegations against Sandusky, including a police report of two conversations secretly recorded by police of Sandusky admitting to the mother of an 11 year-old boy inappropriate behavior with her son.
Despite this, and additional evidence from a "lengthy" internal investigation by Penn State into Sandusky, District Attorney Gricar, with a reputation for rectitude and integrity, decided not to press charges against Sandusky.
A reasonable question is whether a straight-arrow DA like Gricar, a Republican, when confronted with an unprecedentedly explosive case involving a major Pennsylvania institution and personage, would turn to a superior to confer on the case. A person to whom Gricar might naturally turn would be the Pennsylvania Attorney General. In 1998, the Attorney General of Pennsylvania was D. Michael Fisher, a Republican in the Tom Ridge administration
Gricar stayed in office for several years after the first investigation. As the grand jury report has pointed out, there were other eye witnessed accounts of Sandusky sexually assaulting young boys during those years, between 1998 and 2005.
It is again reasonable that reports of those incidents reached District Attorney Gricar. In 2004, the Attorney General for the state of Pennsylvania was current Gov. Tom Corbett.
With mounting evidence against Sandusky, did Gricar confer with the Attorney General Corbett about prosecution of Sandusky? The Governor should answer that question.
In 2005, District Attorney Ray Gricar went missing and his body nor a trace of his existence has been found. His hard drive on his computer was destroyed.
The charges against Jerry Sandusky are sickening and unfathomable. But if there was a squelching of these crimes years ago, directed at the highest levels of state law enforcement, that is equally disgusting and should be investigated thoroughly.

With the economy being in the present state it is and the government being in such an explosive state Mi Casa had decided to launch a for-profit side of the organization to help support the non-profit side. It has been no secret that many non-profit organizations have been struggling in the current economy and the state it is in. Many non-profits depend on the for-profit sectors for financial assistance to keep their programs a float.
Mi Casa has unveiled their first social enterprise, Mi Casa TalentSource. This social enterprise is a staffing agency which is a full-service agency and will support bilingual and diverse talents as its main focus. The profits from this enterprise will be circulated back through the non-profit sector to help support its programs.
Mi Casa, since it was conceived was dependent on government funding and has had no choice but to develop a way to be self-supporting, as many other non-profits have done, with the lackluster nature of the government aid at present and their unwillingness to downgrade any of the support they are offering.
TalentSource is an agency which is providing a full-service, direct placement and tem-to-hire staffing agency which will provide the Denver Metro area with employees who are wanting to launch new careers with businesses who are willing to hire them so they can not only succeed personally but prove the effectiveness of Mi Casa's programs and becoming an asset to the business.
Just as Mi Casa offers a hand up to thousands of hardworking people who come through our doors for career training, job search assistance, financial coaching and much more, Mi Casa needs the community's support to make their goal of financial independence a reality. To raise the final startup funds needed for TalentSource, Mi Casa has launched a crowd-sourced fundraising campaign through Indiegogo.
To learn more about TalentSource or contribute to Mi Casa's crowd-funding campaign, visit MiCasaResourceCenter.org or click here.

I want my sound back!!!
Ok, so I fixed this problem I had with crashing. To do that, I had to go to the sound menu in BFII, and "disable mixer config". So, now I have no sound. But I want it, cause I just bought a sound system.
easy solotion: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx if that doesnt work then just look up sound card solotions and keep changing the mixer each time u update it.
I'm not sure updating the graphic drivers is going to help him... and do you think he's still waiting for an answer since 2008?

I have always loved those Butter and Eggs wildflowers, also known as Toadflax, in Estes Park! You can see them everywhere and they are so colorful. They have the same colors as butter and eggs, thus they got their name.
Only to find out a few years later that they are an invasive plant from Europe that blooms from June through September on rangelands and roadsides. I photographed this one down by Lake Estes.
I still think they are a very pretty "invasive" wildflower. What do you think?

The Little Britain opponents of UK shale appear desperate to save their part of the planet while ignoring any implications of global energy industry trends on the rest of it. A constant objection by FOE and WWF is that shale must stop because it will upset UK climate targets (not actual emissions as we'll see in an upcoming post). So to those who think this post only concerns far away countries of which they know nothing and care less, stick to the end.
Proving shale gas isn't everything and conventional natural gas still has a lot of life left in it, i.e. bang goes the peak conventional gas theory, a recent study by Oxford Institute of Energy Studies asks the question East Mediterranean Gas: What kind of Game Changer? The title infers it at least could be a game changer. A refreshing change from an OIES study of over two years ago which asked a similar question about European shale and gave any number of reasons why not.
I admit to more interest in the decade's other big discovery, offshore East Africa, than gas in the literally explosive area of the Eastern Med. For those who've missed the African story:
Eni SpA and Anadarko Petroleum Corp. agreed to build the world's second-largest liquefied natural gas plant in Mozambique to start exporting fuel in 2018.
Italy's largest oil company and Anadarko will coordinate development of gas fields and cooperate in the construction of the plant in the Cabo Delgado province of northern Mozambique, which could have an eventual capacity of about 50 million tons a year, The Woodlands, Texas-based company said today in a statement. That would make it the largest LNG plant outside Qatar, the world's biggest exporter of the fuel.
50 million tons of LNG is something the world LNG industry needs like a hole in the head. The story of only ten years ago was natural gas in short supply everywhere, even in the US which would be supplied by Qatar, escorted out of the Gulf by the Sixth Fleet. Whimper went that theory, as the US didn't need any LNG after shale, which meant Qatar had to sell it to either Japan or Europe. Then Australian LNG emerged, aimed at Japan and setting up a price war with Qatar. In the meantime, the US and Canada start planning exports. Fortunately Qatar is a tiny place, anyone else would have declared war by now. To add insult to injury East Africa LNG emerges aimed at the strongest Qatari markets left, India and SE Asia. Thailand's PTT has already bought up a chunk of the discovery. I haven't even mentioned emerging African and Australian shale industries. What could be worse for both Qatar in particular and expensive gas fans in general? How about this?:
The discovery of sizable gas resources in the Levant Basin, a geological structure that straddles the territorial waters of Cyprus, Israel, the Palestinian Territories, Lebanon, and Syria, has the potential to be game-changing for the East Mediterranean region. Hitherto net energy importers, these countries are now faced with the prospect of long-term energy self-sufficiency and the development of a new revenue stream for the economy. With the resource potential of the Levant Basin believed to be much higher than the 35 Tcf of gas discovered recently, the East Mediterranean is now the focus of much interest on the part of major upstream investors.
It's intriguing how energy can bring together enemies. Build something really, really big, and suddenly people with even a small share have an incentive to preserve it. It's worth recalling how upset the US was over German imports of Soviet Gas, yet the only interruptions to supply started after the fall of the CCCP. During the entire madness of the Cultural Revolution, the only part of China that functioned with no interference was the oil industry.Today, the other unlikely prospect is Russia to South Korea via North Korea gas. So if that can work (I think it's inevitable but don't ask me for a date), surely this project could? In fact we've already seen the only thing Israel and Gaza successfully negotiate has been off shore exploration. The conventional wisdom of left/greens is oil and gas causes conflict, but the reality is it more often gets implacable enemies talking. Ever since spooky friends told me even the Taliban were on board about the TAPI pipeline, I've been thinking perhaps the Levant Basin might work, despite initial misgivings that building flammable infrastructure in the area was asking for trouble. In this area, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria and Gaza are the least of worries.

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
Peeps, Easter, reuse, wreath, centerpiece, packing peanuts
I've never been a Peeps lover. Those sugar-crusted, neon-colored marshmallow chicks and bunnies inevitably turned rock hard in my Easter basket before they made their way to the landfill. If only I'd known that Peeps are the building blocks of great art!
In "20 Creative Uses for Peeps Beyond the Easter Basket" in Wisebread this week, Sonja Stewart ("a coupon-clipping, gluten-free mom who refuses to pay retail") provides all sorts of inspiration for making use of what might otherwise be garbage. I've pulled my favorite seven ideas.
Never let a good Peep go to waste.
Hot-glue Peeps on a Styrofoam circle to make a Peeps wreath.
Place chopsticks in the bottom of a dozen Peeps and arrange in a vase as a Peeps bouquet.
Use Peeps instead of packing peanuts for fragile shipments.
Make Peeps S'mores using a microwaved Peep, a melted Cadbury egg and graham crackers. You may fall into a sugar coma, but when you wake up, you'll realize it was worth it.
Peep necklaces are a fun way to entertain your children on Easter morning. String them with fishing line, and carefully intersperse jellybeans in-between each Peep.
Fill a cute mason jar 1/4 full with spring-colored M&Ms. Then place the peeps around the inside, facing out. This works very well with the bunny ones.
Give them to the boys and encourage an outside Easter battle. Bonus: The carcasses are edible.
