French Minister for Foreign Trade Jacques Dondoux and his accompanying delegation were welcomed at King Abdul Aziz airport on Saturday evening by Commerce Minister Osama Faqih and a number of officials. During their three-day visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia the delegation met with Prince Salman Ibn Abdul Aziz, Governor of Riyadh Province; and held separate meetings with Minister of Petroleum and Minerals Ali Ibn Ibrahim Al-Naimi, Minister of Finance and National Economy Dr. Ibrahim Al-Assaf, Minister of Industry and Electricity Dr. Hashim Ibn Abdullah Yamani, Communications Minister Dr. Nasir Ibn Muhammad Al-Salloum, and Minister of Agriculture and Water Dr. Abdullah Ibn Abdul Aziz Muammar.
In a statement following his meeting with the French Minister, Oil Minister Al-Naimi said that the Kingdom has strong relations with France in the area of oil and minerals, since Saudi Arabia exports almost half a million barrels of crude oil a day to France, accounting for more than 25 percent of total French oil imports, and French geologists have been working for many years in Saudi-French joint investment projects for the extraction of minerals. Minister Al-Naimi went on to say that there are also a number of French companies working in the service sector in the Kingdom, with contracts valued at more than U.S. $ 700 million.

Following the launch of an online campaign in September, 2 months on, Kings Somborne based riding instructor Sharon Kilminster has succeeded in her search for a rider to sponsor in 2012. Sharon was inundated with responses from both clients and non clients, all keen to win the deal and fly the flag for Kilminster Equestrian, with 138 applications in total.
After a tough 2 phase selection process, amateur rider Nicola Strong, 27 from Andover in Hampshire has been chosen as the winner of the sponsorship deal, which is worth over £2,000 in products and services.
Sharon says; 'As a trainer I'm passionate about seeing my protégées improve and be successful, so I hit upon the sponsorship idea. It was an ideal opportunity to find a rider who was looking to go further in their chosen discipline, and give them a helping hand.
'The response was incredible, with applicants from lead rein showing to Eventing and everywhere in between. I set questions based on horse care, ambitions and experience to narrow it down, before drafting in the help of a very good friend who had worked for me in the past. As I knew some of the applicants, it was important to have help from someone impartial, who knew me well and what I was looking for – so the final decision came from her, and I was glad to not have to choose as the top 10 were all very worthy. I am really pleased with the final selection; I can't wait to mentor Nicki and see the Kilminster colours in action next year!'
Nicola, who works full time for Macmillan Cancer Support, has been riding since she was 4, and is pursuing a lifelong ambition to compete regularly. With Sharon's guidance, she will be looking to make the step up from unaffiliated level to British Eventing and British Showjumping with her 16.2 Sport horse Caherpuca Star (Willo), and will also be looking to start low level competition with her 4 year old mare Ruby, so it promises to be a busy year.
Nicola says; 'I feel very lucky to have been selected, and am hugely grateful for the opportunity. I have only known Sharon since July this year, and already seen a massive improvement in my riding and our results because of her coaching, so I'm really excited about what we can achieve together in 2012. Hopefully I can repay her faith in me with some rosettes for Team Kilminster!'
For further information, to follow their progress or if you are interested in joining Team Kilminster, please go to www.kilminsterequestrian.co.uk or call Sharon on 07789 512433.

Find out how close-at-hand subjects can result in larger-than-life images. Detail photos provide the accent that can set a mood, reveal pattern, line, and shape, and add visual variety to your collection of photographs. As instructor and author Kerry Drager will show you, the more intimate view can often reveal more about a subject than the broader scene! This class will show you how to use either everyday camera gear or specialized macro equipment to capture great close-up (and sometimes abstract) images of just about anything - nature subjects, still life scenes, architectural details, close-up portraits, etc.

The Kentucky Department of Agriculture cited AT&T for two violations involving Rainbow weed killer after rain washed the herbicide from a substation in New Castle into a woman's garden there.
North Main Street resident Donna Feltner, the complainant, now wonders where residual herbicide from other AT&T substations around Henry County and the state may end up after heavy rains.
About an hour before the most recent city commission meeting in New Castle, Bobby King saw a man peek into a neighbor's windows then try to break into his garage.
"In broad daylight, looking into people's windows. I ran him off, but I know who he was and I called the police, too," King told commissioners later that same day. "There's no security. People I've talked to feel like we're getting raped here in town, because we have no protection. What are you going to do for us?"
The Fourth District of the Kentucky Disabled American Veterans Auxiliary recently elected Jerry Cavanaugh to the post of district commander, according to a news release. Doug Noel was elected senior vice commander. The Fourth District is comprised of Henry County and Northern Kentucky units. Both men are members of the Henry County Disabled American Veterans Auxiliary. For more information call (502) 222-4365 or visit Facebook/Henry County Disabled American Veterans Auxiliary.
David Warfield's Lockport office near Six Mile Creek measures approximately 36 feet wide by 145 feet long and can fill with one million gallons of water in about 20 minutes.
Now a resident of Owenton, Warfield credited his youth as a "river rat" at Gestville in getting hired by the Kentucky River Authority to serve as the lock master at Lock and Dam No. 2.
Warfield couldn't think of a more ideal place to work than the Kentucky River at Lockport.

The New Castle Odd Fellows lodge wants new members to see the 144-year-old fraternal organization remain active well into the future.
Known for its Homecoming parade and picnic each August, the Washington Lodge 1513 has another long-running project to protect — the operation and maintenance of a cemetery that dates back to October 1901, according to information from Margaret Daniel, a historian for the lodge.
Last Days Motorcycle Ministry will hold a benefit bike ride on June 18 in an effort to support a Henry County family facing serious medical issues, according to a news release.
Madison Grace, the month-old baby of Stephanie Mertz and Charles Miller, was born with a rare disease that affects one in 6,000 babies. A diagnosis of Trisomy 18, also known as Edwards Syndrome, usually results in death, but Madison is battling the disease.

We briefly mentioned L.A. Noire in a post back in June for Father's Day, but we wanted to give this game a little spotlight of its own. We can recommend L.A. Noire for Xbox 360 ($40) as a gift for your gamer husband since our husband (who normally plays video games sparingly, thank goodness) has been consumed with this game for the last three weeks. It must be good. We're impressed with the quality of the graphics, all-star cast (we even have a friend on it), and unique game style. We don't even mind the vintage music and commercials in the game that have been playing on repeat for the past three weeks. We weren't as generous with BioShock.

SEATTLE - March 3, 2011--Copa Airlines, subsidiary of Copa Holdings, S.A. {NYSE: CPA} today became the first airline in Latin America to take delivery of a Boeing Next-Generation 737 airplane with the new Boeing Sky Interior. The new, cutting-edge interior, which enhances the passenger experience from boarding to landing, once again puts Copa at the forefront of Latin American aviation.
"We are proud to bring this state-of-the art technology and unmatched passenger experience to our valued customers," said Pedro Heilbron, CEO of Copa Airlines. "This new interior represents yet another example of our progressive leadership in the Americas and will enhance the world-class service for which Copa Airlines is known."
Copa's new 737-800 with the Boeing Sky Interior is the first of 10 new 737-800s the airline will receive in 2011. Copa Airlines is only the eighth airline in the world to take delivery of the 737 Boeing Sky Interior.Inspired by passenger research, the Boeing Sky Interior cabin design redefines the 737 travel experience from start to finish. Features include:
In addition, this airplane will include Copa's new digital in-flight entertainment system. The new system includes wide overhead screens with better image resolution to enhance the onboard entertainment experience. A modern, touch-screen crew panel increases functionality by automating the entertainment programming displayed on screens throughout the cabin.
The 737 Boeing Sky Interior is the latest in a series of enhancements designed to improve the Next-Generation 737. The next to come, between mid-2011 and early 2012, will be a package of performance improvements that will reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions by 2 percent - making the airplane a full 7 percent more efficient than the first Next-Generation 737s delivered.
Copa Airlines also was the first airline in the Americas with blended winglets (wing-tip extensions) and the first airline in the Americas to utilize Boeing's Vertical Situation Display flight deck technology. By the end of 2011, Copa Holdings will have a fleet of 73 aircraft, making it one of the youngest in the Americas.
The airline's Hub of the Americas at Panama's Tocumen International Airport offers more international flights to destinations within Latin America than any other hub on the continent.

Common Opponents - Stanford
Wednesday, December 2, 8:00 a.m. PST
In the eight days leading up to the Civil War, Duck Feed is serving up a comparison of how the Ducks and Beavers have fared against their eight common opponents this season. We've discussed WSU, Washington, Arizona State, UCLA, Arizona, California and USC - and we finish with Stanford.
The Scores
Oregon State faced the Cardinal on Oct. 10, dealing Stanford its first Pac-10 loss of the season, 38-28, in Corvallis. The Ducks could not avoid the curse of beating USC - a fate which caused all three teams that won against the Trojans this year to fall the following week - losing in a shootout at Stanford, 51-42, on Nov. 7.
How it Went Down
OSU jumped out to a 21-0 lead on three Jacquizz Rodgers touchdown runs and by the time the Cardinal figured out what hit them, it was too late to recover. All told, the Rodgers brothers (James had one), accounted for all five Beaver TDs.
In a reverse script of the Oregon State/Stanford clash, the Cardinal jumped out to a big first-half lead and Oregon's comeback attempt came up short. Trailing by 20 in the fourth quarter, the Ducks cut the deficit to 48-42 with 2:38 to play, but were unable to execute a successful onside kick.
Key Play
The game's opening play from scrimmage may have been a 14-point swing as Chris Owusu dropped what some observsers believed to be a sure touchdown pass. From there, things went downhill fast and OSU led 21-zip before Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck had recorded his first completion.
In the Oregon game, it's hard to pick out only one of Toby Gerhart's big runs, but let's go with his 17-yard touchdown run in the third quarter to put Stanford up 45-28. Almost every one of Oregon's defenders made contact with big No. 7 on his way to the goal line, but no one could impede his progress. I asked defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti if there is a way to stop Gerhart and his response was "use 12 men."
Top Performers
Quizz Rodgers had his best game of the year, rushing 33 times for a career-high 189 yards and four scores. He also had 82 receiving yards on five catches. Sean Canfield was a pinpoint 22-of-32 for 290 yards.
Jeremiah Masoli totaled 389 yards of offense (334 passing, 55 rushing) and four touchdowns (3 passing, 1 rushing). LaMichael James ran 18 times for 125 yards and a TD, and had career highs of four catches and 89 yards.
Both OSU and UO had 24 first downs. The Beavers out-gained the Cardinal by 88 yards (463-375) and the Ducks did so by 65 (570-505).
Oregon State held a +8:44 margin in time of possession. The Ducks margin against the Cardinal was -15:26. OSU had six Red Zone chances, Oregon two.
Bottom Line
All three of these teams can score points and there is a reason why they represent the top three spots in the Pac-10 going into the season's final week.
What we learned from this eight-day exercise
That Oregon can run the ball on anyone and Oregon State can pass the ball on anyone. Both teams consistently put points on the board and when their defenses come to play they win.
What surprised me the most combing through each game was how important the play of Canfield has been to OSU's success. A season ago, Quizz Rodgers was the hands down MVP of the team, but this year I'd argue Canfield has been most responsible for the Beavers' return trip to a Rose Bowl qualifier. The Rodgers brothers get the headline ink, but it's Canfield that puts the ball in their hands to make plays.
His counterpart, Masoli, was equally important to his team and is the only other logical choice for all-conference honors at the position. The man who leads his team to victory in the Civil War for the roses will deserve any and all accolades he receives.

Box Score | Photo Gallery 1 | Photo Gallery 2
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- If the weight of a losing streak is wearing on the University of Iowa women's basketball team, you couldn't tell by its comeback Monday.
Down by 12 points with 8:32 remaining in the game, the Hawkeyes bounced off the canvas and had three shots at a game-tying 3-pointer with less than a minute left before Nebraska held on for a 76-75 decision in front of 3,937 on Mediacom Court inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
The loss is the fourth in a row for Iowa (16-9 overall, 5-6 Big Ten); Nebraska improves to 18-6, 8-3 and has won all four meetings in the series since joining the Big Ten Conference.
"Well, another tough one," UI head coach Lisa Bluder said. "Any time you lose a game by one point you always have those `what if' situations, and you think about all the opportunities. Those are the ones that keep you awake at night."
The Hawkeyes will have visions of Husker forward Jordan Hooper in their heads. She scored a game-high 29 points with eight rebounds, prompting Bluder to say, "it was just too much Jordan Hooper for us in this game."
Iowa answered with its own big presence, coming in the form of senior center Morgan Johnson. Johnson made 9-of-11 field goals, pulled down 10 rebounds, and blocked four shots. She shared team-high scoring honors with sophomore guard Melissa Dixon, who sank 5-of-10 3-pointers and finished with 19 points.
"It is kind of bitter at this point," Johnson said. "It doesn't matter about those stats, it just matters about the team. It hurts even more when you did everything you could."
Samantha Logic, who did most of her damage on the floor with eight rebounds and six assists, made two free throws to pull the Hawkeyes to 72-69 with 1:33 remaining. Iowa misfired on three straight 3-point attempts -- two by Jaime Printy, owner of 246 career made 3-pointers, and one by Dixon, who leads the team this season with 54.
"When it left my hand it felt great," Printy said of her first attempt in the sequence. "You can't do anything about those except keep shooting them the same way."
Printy scored 16 points with four assists, junior Theairra Taylor scored 11 points with five rebounds. Taylor capped the game's scoring with a 3-pointer with a second to play.
Iowa shot 43.8 percent from the field (28-of-64) compared to Nebraska's 43.3-percent shooting (26-of-60).
Nebraska jumped to an 11-2 lead at the 17:48 mark of the first half, but Iowa rallied for nine straight points to draw even five minutes into the game. The Hawkeyes got within 1 points three times in the first half, the latest coming at 25-24 with 7:59 remaining. But the Huskers gradually added to their margin and held a 41-32 edge at intermission.
Iowa out-shot Nebraska in the first half (48.1 percent to 47.1), but the Huskers attempted seven more field goals and made four more 3-pointers.
Johnson was perfect from the field for the UI during the first 20 minutes (5-of-5) and had a team-high 10 points at the break. Logic added seven rebounds and five assists.
The Hawkeyes remain home Thursday to face Big Ten leader Penn State (20-3, 10-1). The game is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. (CT).
"We have to have wins now," Johnson said. "No more close losses; learning how important one possession is, learning how important one game is from here on out, and taking it one game at a time, and staying together as a team. We're a team that is more than capable and we can come back."
With five regular season games remaining, Bluder said the Hawkeyes have work to do before sewing up an NCAA berth.
"I would like to see us win three more," she said. "I think that would solidify things, but I don't know. Who knows what the selection committee will think?"

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas was interviewed on CBS News' "Face the Nation" on January 26, 2014. Much of the interview was taken up by the recent government shutdown, which many accused Cruz of causing. Cruz begged to disagree.
"Throughout the government shutdown, I opposed a government shutdown. I said we shouldn't shut down the government. I think it was a mistake that President Obama and the Democrats shut the government down this fall.
"The reason they did so is that President Obama dug in and said he wouldn't compromise and he wouldn't negotiate. In fact, I went to one of the most surreal meetings I've ever been at, where President Obama invited all the senate Republicans to go up to the White House. He sat us in a room. This is in the middle of the shutdown.
"And he said, 'I invited you here to tell you I will not negotiate. I will not compromise on anything.' That's why we had a shutdown. "
Cruz noted that Democrats boasted that the shutdown benefited them politically. Cruz's desire to change the narrative of the shut down, particularly in the context of the meltdown of the Obamacare rollout, is crucial for the political fortunes of both the Republican Party and Cruz's. If enough Americans believe that the Obama administration shut down the government to support the implementation of a law then they would be more inclined to punish Democrats. That Cruz would be seen as the hero of the fight to stop Obamacare would certainly be a plus should he decide to run for higher office.
On that subject, though, the junior senator from Texas was understandably coy two years before the commencement of the presidential campaigning season. He gave a standard non answer that was not Shermanesque to say the least.
"Well, look, my focus is on the challenges facing this country right now (UNINTEL) senate. My focus, for example, is on the abuse of power from the president."
What the answer will be a year from now, particularly if the Republicans take the Senate, putting Cruz in the majority, remains to be seen.
Addendum: Video added that shows an unaired portion of the "Face the Nation" interview.

Just Back From….Compagnie du Ponant: 6 Surprises – and 1 Revelation

Dear Ms Spencer Brown,
I've read your review of "Le Soleal", and my husband I have decided to reserve one week in Croatia (15-21 August next).
We have already did two cruises with Seadream I and II around east Mediterranean and we loved them. But even if we live in Rome, we have never been to Crotia. We go to France about every year and our French is better than our English… so this summer we decided to try a "french cruise", especially after your beautiful review: this cruise style seems PERFECT for us: long days in ports, limited evening entertainment, and very important, treated like travelers rather than tourists (this made me this to the wonderful book written by Paul Bowles, The Sheltering Sky).
Thank you for all your suggestions, and I hope my English was clear enough..

Patriot League Network
July 29, 2013
Patriot League Network (PLN) Fact SheetCENTER VALLEY, Pa. -The Patriot League, in collaboration with Campus Insiders, announced Monday the creation of the Patriot League Network (PLN) that will greatly expand the video content and reach of its digital programming starting in the fall of 2013. Under this multi-year agreement, the Patriot League will live-stream hundreds of its men and women's sporting events, add branded studio programming, develop sponsorship opportunities and grow distribution on multiple platforms and devices.
Since its launch in the fall of 2006, the Patriot League digital programming has offered more than 150 live events annually, which were also available on demand. Among those live events were coverage of 11 championships in 2012-13 and the entire League portion of the men and women's basketball season. Powered by Campus Insiders, the enhanced PLN will continue to provide on-demand video content, as well as live-stream an unprecedented number of events and numerous interviews, feature stories and highlight packages throughout the year.
PLN offers marketers with a unique opportunity to reach a targeted audience both regionally and nationally, as well as enhancing the League's multimedia presence. The League also has a multi-sport television agreement with CBS Sports Network which includes live event coverage of football, men and women's basketball and men's lacrosse.
All Patriot League programming will be available through www.campusinsiders.com, the online destination and leading digital content syndication source for college sports, as well as through the Patriot League and member institution websites. Campus Insiders, a partnership between Silver Chalice Ventures and IMG College, goes beyond the traditional sports media experience, giving dedicated fans an insider's perspective that includes behind-the-scenes content, original video programming (including hosts Bonnie Bernstein and Seth Davis) and live streaming events. Campus Insiders will incorporate the Patriot League into its many existing distribution relationships, including partners on VOD, OTT and IP-Connected platforms. This partnership will also include the development and management of a comprehensive Patriot League Network portal on Campus Insiders' website, mobile app and YouTube Channel.
Available to fans in mid-August, high-quality PLN content will be accessible on multiple devices, including laptops, smartphones and tablets, and will feature 10 unique channels of Patriot League action. Each of the league's institutions will have its own individual school-branded channel, while the Patriot League will offer a Conference-wide channel featuring all available digital content. In addition, beginning in 2014, Campus Insiders will produce TV-quality basketball and football games for PLN, as well as various other sports and championship events. The Patriot League will also provide reports and content from its PLN Correspondent for Campus Insiders and PLN.
"As the Patriot League prepares to launch its digital network this coming year, the partnership with Campus Insiders provides a wonderful gateway to stream contests in multiple sports to our audiences, free of charge," said Daniel H. Weiss, former President of Lafayette College and outgoing chair of the Patriot League Council of Presidents. "It also will prove to be a great complimentary piece to the League's CBS Sports Network TV package."
"The Patriot League features tremendous student-athletes and programs, as we are proud to be partnering with them," said Crowley Sullivan, general manager of Campus Insiders. "This is a great match of college sports content and Campus Insiders distribution platforms that will enable us to best serve the fans of the Patriot League and its member schools."
Campus Insiders has similar content portals and agreements with the Atlantic Coast Conference, Mountain West Conference and West Coast Conference, in addition to the University of Oregon.

HP CEO, Meg Whitman, told analysts on Wednesday that the company she steers, has been "a little late to the game" when it comes down to shifting from the traditional PC to the mobile market.
Whitman added that Microsoft and Intel have gone from longtime partners of HP, to "outright competitors." She said that HP is moving, very aggressively, to diversify behind traditional PCs, which are looking like a dead end for HP. She said: "Wintel-based devices are being aggressively displaced by ARM-based PCs and mobile devices. PCs are declining while tablets are growing... Current long-running partners such as Intel and Microsoft are becoming outright competitors."

You're in an apple orchard, walking between the rows of trees, the smell of fall crisp in the air. Leaves crackle under your feet (you're probably wearing some brown leather boots). Suddenly, something catches your eye. It's the most beautiful apple you've ever seen and you tilt your head back and gaze up at it from beneath the brim of your Wool Felt Floppy Hat ($32). And you revel in this joyful moment for about thirty seconds until you realize you have an entire ten-pound bag to fill and you're going to be picking apples for the next hour. At least you still have your floppy hat.

Amidst all the stories of how lonely Kim Kardashian West is, or how she doesn't like Kanye's controlling behavior toward her, she is not giving up so easily in this marriage. She shows her determination or dedication to being Kanye's wife when she legally changed her passport name to include West.
Kim made the announcement on her Instagram page to all her loyal followers. The captain read, "New passport pic #Mrs.West #NameChange." She posted her new passport photo, which shows her famous frontal asset of cleavage in a low-cut outfit. According to Us Magazine, it is the same Ulyana Sergeenko outfit she wore on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show on August 4, 2014.
Us Magazine reports that less than one week before Kanye asked Kim to marry him, he told Ryan Seacrest in an interview that Kim would take his last name. Kanye expressed his thoughts about the future Mrs. Kim West. "Saying 'Hey, I like Kim' isn't as inspiring to people as us getting married. And. anyone that's in a relationship knows that in order to get to the point to get married and then to be married and to then carry on, it needs that work put into it. Right now, people look at it and it's like, 'Wow, that's inspiring.'"
Kim's mother didn't want Kim to change her last name to West. Allegedly, it would hurt Kim's marketable image, which means a loss of income for Kris because she is Kim's manager. However, Kanye seemed adamant that she would take on his name and his demands have been fullfilled.
Kim's marriage to Kanye has lasted several days longer than the one she had with Kris Humphries. That marriage lasted 72 days.
According to Starcasm, Kanye shared with GQ what marrying his beloved Kim meant to him. He said, "It's an unfair level of awesomeness in one person to be that smart, to be that nice, to be … blatantly fine as hell," he said of his future bride at the time. "Like, one of the most beautiful people of all time. She's not hard to wake up to."
Time will reveal how long Kim and Kanye's marriage will last. Even with her name change on legal documents, nothing seems to last forever in the stars of the TV reality world.
How long to you think the West/Kardashian marriage will last? Tell us your thoughts in the comments section.

text: I have used VNC 2 months on all my WIN2K servers and it works very good ! I find that the VNC configuration, especially the password and accept connection flag, depends on the user that console is being logged on. Therefore, console user may disable the VNC connection or even change the password, i.e. there's no central control of VNC regardless of console user. I would like to know if it is possible to configure VNC such that: - Only Administrator (or assigned users/groups) can change the VNC configuration (accept connection/password & etc). No unauthorized person can turn if off and change the password. - The password is NOT associated with current console logged user, instead there is only one administrative password. Any suggestion? Are they achievable by registry settings ?

Looking at the images of American lunches, it is apparent that the US school lunch program is in dire need of an overhaul. Here's hoping the recently passed Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act that eliminates junk food and restrict fat and calories in meals affects some positive change, granting kids access to healthy, delicious lunches at school.
In this NPR slideshow, images of school lunches from around the world convey a variety of approaches to feeding children, informed by both economic resources and cultural beliefs about nutrition. These images also make me consider the "syntax" of a meal and how it varies based on location, a concept first introduced to me in an Anthropology of Food class that I took in college. A syntax would describe the various components, for example a starchy carb, a vegetable, a meat, a sweet, etc. For me, a properly constructed meal has to have something green. That is non negotiable. One of my favorite parts of being an adult is having the freedom to construct and concoct meals to my choosing.
Also, given the choice, I'd lunch in Saint Etiennes, France, any day.

Since 2002 Perimeter Institute has been recording seminars, conference talks, and public outreach events using video cameras installed in our lecture theatres. Perimeter now has 7 formal presentation spaces for its many scientific conferences, seminars, workshops and educational outreach activities, all with advanced audio-visual technical capabilities. Recordings of events in these areas are all available On-Demand from this Video Library and on Perimeter Institute Recorded Seminar Archive (PIRSA). PIRSA is a permanent, free, searchable, and citable archive of recorded seminars from relevant bodies in physics. This resource has been partially modelled after Cornell University's arXiv.org.
We explore a new scenario explaining mass origin of standard model (SM) particles without a Higgs boson. In this framework SM W, Z gauge bosons and fermions are composites getting masses from confinement of substructure at IR (conformal symmetry breaking). Therefore here SM electroweak gauge symmetry and its breaking are IR emergent phenomena. Using AdS/CFT we build a calculable warped 5D model. Realistic mass spectrum and good fit to electroweak precision data (S, T parameters) can be obtained.
How sure are you that spacetime is continuous? One approach to quantum gravity, causal set theory, models spacetime as a discrete structure: a causal set. This talk begins with a brief introduction to causal sets, then describes a new approach to modelling a quantum scalar field on a causal set. We obtain the Feynman propagator for the field by a novel procedure starting with the Pauli-Jordan commutation function. The candidate Feynman propagator is shown to agree with the continuum result.
It has been conjectured that higher-dimensional rotating black holes become unstable at a sufficiently large value of the rotation, and that new black holes with pinched horizons appear at the threshold of the instability. We search numerically, and find, the stationary axisymmetric perturbations of Myers-Perry black holes with a single spin that mark the onset of the instability and the appearance of the new black hole phases. We also find new ultraspinning Gregory-Laflamme instabilities of rotating black strings and branes.

With this gift of nature, Nature Conservancy magazine arrives all year long. Join
The Department of Environmental Protection in partnership with the New Jersey Pinelands Commission, The Nature Conservancy, and Conservation Resources, Inc., has preserved 5,079 acres of undeveloped woodlands and wetlands in Atlantic County's Great Egg Harbor River watershed at a cost of $9.7 million, Commissioner Bob Martin announced today.
The DEP's Green Acres program finalized two related land purchases securing 4,970 acres from Lenape Farms and 109 acres from HBH Associates. The more than 5,000-acre project, one of the largest state preservation efforts in years, helps link together more than 56,000 acres of previously existing state wildlife management areas, plus thousands of additional acres of county parkland in an area where the Pine Barrens meets a coastal estuary ecosystem.
"The preservation of this property further enhances the quality of life in our state, providing additional outdoor recreational opportunities for our residents while adding environmental protections for an important natural area in southern New Jersey,'' Commissioner Martin said during ceremonies at the property. "We commend our partners for working with the state to preserve such a large tract of ecologically important land at the core of tens of thousands of acres of previously preserved lands.''
The property flanks U.S. Route 50 in Estell Manor. The bulk of the property, known as Lenape Farms, contains large expanses of forested uplands that merge into coastal marshlands. The preserved property is now part of a state wildlife management area, providing hunting, fishing, hiking and bird watching opportunities for the public. It will also protect headwaters of Steven's Creek, Gibson's Creek and Mill Creek, which are tributaries to Great Egg Harbor River.
The preserved land directly links Atlantic County's Estell Manor Park to three DEP wildlife management areas – the Tuckahoe Wildlife Management Area and Gibson Creek Wildlife Management Area to the south and the Maple Lake Wildlife Management Area to the west. The Great Egg Harbor River Wildlife Management Area and the sprawling Peaslee Wildlife Management are also located nearby.
The newly acquired land is now the Lenape Farms unit of the Tuckahoe Wildlife Management Area. The public can access the property by foot immediately as the DEP's Division of Fish and Wildlife develops and implements a management plan, which will include formal trail development.
"This is the largest single New Jersey land deal we have ever been involved in—a huge amount of acreage in a priority conservation area, with important implications for forests, wildlife and water systems,'' said Barbara Brummer, New Jersey State Director for The Nature Conservancy.
"We are deeply gratified to have been a leader in protecting this watershed for the future.''
The tract had been used as a private hunting game preserve since the early 1900s, and was privately managed for forestry and wildlife purposes for many years.
"Lenape Farms has done a wonderful job of enhancing tree quality, encouraging forest regeneration, reducing wildfire hazards and protecting wildlife habitat for almost 100 years,'' said Terry Caruso, Supervising Program Development Specialist for the DEP's Green Acres program.
The property provides habitat for a number of wildlife species, including the barred owl, northern pine snake, Pine Barrens tree frog, Cooper's hawk, timber rattlesnake, Cope's gray tree frog, bald eagle, red-headed woodpecker, black rail, osprey, black-crowned night heron and diamondback terrapin.
Under terms of the agreement, Lenape Farms was paid $9.4 million and HBH Associates received $334,000.
The DEP provided $6.5 million in Green Acres funding. The Nature Conservancy provided $3.2 million, which included a $2.3 million Pinelands Conservation grant from the Pinelands Commission and a $264,000 grant from Conservation Resources Inc., a nonprofit organization that provides financial and technical services to the conservation community in New Jersey.
"The Lenape Farms acquisition represents the permanent preservation of one of the largest remaining private parcels in the State" said Michael Catania, President of Conservation Resources, Inc. "This tract, which has been wonderfully managed by private stewards for generations, is reminiscent of one of the huge Adirondack "camp" properties that have recently been preserved by public/private partnerships in New York. CRI salutes both the sellers and the partnership of buyers who had the vision and perseverance to save this gem in perpetuity."
"It has been difficult for Lenape Farms to let go of this beautiful and pristine tract of land," said Stew Keener, President of Lenape Farms Inc. "Our organization has enjoyed and carefully maintained the Lenape Farms property for multiple generations.
"Our stewardship and tree farming, which has been inspired and implemented by our forester, Bob Williams, is well documented and is a source of great pride for us,'' said Keener. "We sincerely hope that this tradition of excellence continues in perpetuity now that the land is in the public domain. We are honored to have played a part in preserving one of the largest tracts in the state's history."
"This is an excellent addition to our efforts to preserve environmentally-sensitive land," said Nancy Wittenberg, Executive Director of the Pinelands Commission. "Including this parcel, the Commission has now paid out a total of $7.9 million toward the permanent preservation of 6,670 acres of land."
The Green Acres program was created in 1961 as the result of an innovative bond referendum. Together with public and private partners, the Green Acres program has directly protected 650,000 acres of open space and provided hundreds of recreational opportunities for a wide range of activities, including natural areas, hiking and fishing areas, city parks, playgrounds, athletic fields, boat ramps, docks, fishing piers and environmental education.
In addition to providing recreation opportunities, Green Acres projects help protect water quality and stimulate economic development by creating jobs, at the same time making cities and towns more attractive places to live and work.

According to Tuesday's News and Record, a young dog with massive burns was found on Saturday in Greensboro, N.C.
The dog, dubbed "Toby," arrived at the Guilford County Animal Shelter with third-degree burns covering over 50 percent of his body; he is being treated through Susie's Fund.
The young Lhasa Apso was found near in a woman's yard near Tannenbaum Circle and Isaacson Boulevard; the woman delivered the burned dog to the animal shelter for care. Though the injuries to Toby's body are severe, his sweet-nature and personality won over the veterinary staff, who decided to treat him, rather than euthanize him.
Toby's recuperation will take a good deal of time and it will not be easy, but he is doing well so far. His care-providers have noted that, despite his pain, he still eats and wags his tail and he is "happy to receive TLC."

New Civic Engagement Website: ImagineOneAustin.org
KLRU, Leadership Austin, and The Annette Strauss Institute for Civic Life recently launched a new website aimed educating and engaging Austinites: imagineoneaustin.org. When voters head to the polls this year they'll be faced with a very long ballot with lots of new names. This is an historic election year in Austin because voters will elect a new mayor and a new City Council member to represent their geographic region of the city for the first time ever.
On ImagineOneAustin.org you'll find district maps, information about city wide issues and links to each candidate's website.
After Election Day, the site will change a little bit to allow neighborhood groups, community organizations, elected officials, and more, to post news and information and to communicate about things happening in their region of the city. We hope to hear from you about what is important in your neighborhood and help you spread the word.
Don't forget to vote! Early Voting runs October 20th through October 31st. Election Day is November 4th. You can find out more about the site in the video above.

KLRU NewsBriefs: Drought impacts state's freshwater supply
This weekend during PBS NewsHour we have two stories that'll make you appreciate your local swimming hole over the holiday weekend. Both stories come from our partners at The Texas Tribune.
Labor Day tubers heading for the Guadalupe River may want to watch our story from the Tribune's Alana Rocha on Saturday. Riders are seeing slower currents and at some spots they have to get out and walk.
"With the reduced spring flow, the speed of the current is so slow that what normally a float trip would require a six-pack – now will require a case," Bill West of the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority quipped.
A longer version of this story is available on The Texas Tribune's website.
On Sunday, our story travels further south from Austin, all the way to Matagorda Bay. The state's second largest estuary is at the intersection of the inter-coastal waterway and the Colorado River. Less rain means less freshwater flowing into the area, which is harming seafood and the businesses that depend on it.
"For the Bay to recover we need several things: we need a lot of rain. Also we need to look for cooperative management of our freshwater inflows into the bay," Leslie Hartman, Matagorda Bay Ecosystem Leader for Texas Parks and Wildlife said. "Certainly people in Austin need fresh water but our bays need fresh water as well.
You can see an extended version of that story here.
KLRU NewsBriefs air locally during PBS NewsHour Weekend at 6:30pm on Saturday and Sunday.
KLRU NewsBriefs: Expanding Health Education in Austin and Harris County Jail program helps female inmates
On Saturday during PBS NewsHour Weekend, we hear about an Austin based non-profit establishing innovative techniques in the realm of healthy living education.
KLRU intern Bria Lott brings us the story about WeViva, an organization dedicated to promoting healthy eating and regular fitness habits to adults living in Austin's low income communities. They provide a team of traveling nutritionists and fitness instructors to people who might not have access to these resources otherwise.
"We bring it to locations that may not have that supportive environment built in. Maybe they're typically unsafe neighborhoods or people don't want to go outside, but by bringing something to them that's fun and enjoyable and free they'll want to come out for it," Founder Carolyn Haney said.
In the beginning stages WeViva started in only one neighborhood. They now serve 14 communities across Austin with intentions for growth in the near future.
On Sunday, our story comes from our partners at The Texas Tribune. Reporter Alana Rocha went inside the Harris County Jail to talk to female inmates participating in the "We've Been There Done That" rehabilitation program.
Most of the women have been charged with prostitution and those sentenced to the program must serve a minimum of 90 days, time that counts toward their sentence. The program has been so successful that the 83rd state legislature passed a law to establish prostitution courts elsewhere in Texas.
You can learn more about the program in the Tribune's story here.
KLRU NewsBriefs air locally during PBS NewsHour Weekend at 6:30 on Saturday and Sunday evening.
KLRU NewsBrief: East Side Company Puts New Spin on Compost
This Sunday during PBS NewsHour Weekend we'll preview a Central Texas Gardener story about an East Austin company offering a fossil fuel-free way to compost.
Since 2012, East Side Compost Pedallers has cycled through 5 neighborhoods to collect residential and commercial compostables. Residential customers pay $4 a week, each opting to spare the landfill and instead nourish their neighborhood farms and urban microgrowers.
East Side Pies pays the Compost Pedallers to pick up their vegetable scraps. They say they've even attracted more customers as a result.
"We have a lot of vegetable scrap and instead of it going into a dumpster it goes back into soil and our local community and gets more food for everybody. The fact that we're taking several hundred pounds of waste out of the landfill I think more than makes up for the small cost that we pay," Randall Holt of East Side Pies told us.
East Side Compost Pedallers recently won the Austin Green Business Leaders Communication and Outreach award.
KLRU NewsBriefs air locally during PBS NewsHour Weekend. An extended version of "Will Pedal for Compost" will air during Central Texas Gardener on July 12 at noon.

The Lowepro Flipside 400 AW Backpack
Flipside 400 AW features a unique back-entry compartment that provides easy access to gear when setting up--keeping the harness off the ground and clean--plus extra security when on the move. With access to gear placed in the rear of the backpack, roving hands are discouraged from reaching into the bag. With the padded waistbelt secured, gear is quickly reached by rotating the entire bag to the front, offering hands-free use and providing a stable work platform while changing batteries, memory cards or setting up for the next shot. To protect expensive gear from the elements, the Flipside 400 AW includes Lowepro's patented, built-in All Weather Cover.
Flipside 400 AW offers expanded capacity with room for a professional DSLR with attached zoom lens and 4-6 additional lenses. Adjustable dividers allow custom organization inside the main compartment. Other features include: a mesh-covered, padded waistbelt, back pad and contoured straps added comfort and wicking away moisture; a hideaway tripod holder to secure a tripod or monopod to backpack; built-in memory card pockets on inside panel; front storage panels and mesh pockets for storing additional gear; attachment loops for SlipLock compatible products; and silent zipper pulls.
This newest model follows the success of two smaller-sized companions (Flipside
200 and 300), geared to the amateur who wants the convenience and comfort of
a rotating bag. The Flipside 400 AW is ideal for the serious enthusiast or professional
photographer who needs peace of mind and a full set of premium features in a
sturdy and comfortable camera backpack.

because FIIs will start marching back in. But a currency is like a rubber band. If you stretch it a lot, it will snap back but too much stretch means it could break.

Possible. A few days ago I saw in Malayala Manorama and Indian Express that FIIs are buying Indian market. But why they publish it at the 13th hour? In late May they had put out big headlines about how India was to be downgraded, which proved to be the bottom. Who knows this is the top?
2.10 PM Sep 4th 2012
but this is not the time for a newspaper--especially an English newspaper to aggressively expand. Why specifically English newspaper? Because English news readers get most of their news from the Net. I get three newspapers at my home including the Hindu and Indian Express. But I don`t glance at them, but I read Malayala

New Creationist Book
Marty Rudin
From: Marty Rudin
To: Positive Atheism <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Subject: Positive Atheism/ New Creationist Book
Date: Monday, October 12, 1998 4:36 PM
Creationists have finally slipped one past the goalkeeper. Cambridge University Press has just published William A. Dembski's The Design Inference. In it Dembski acknowledges such neo-creationists as Phillip Johnson and Michael Behe. The anti-evolutionist David Berlinski wrote the jacket endorsement (see below).
If you really want to see what neo-creationists are up to, compare this book with Dembski's blatantly theological Mere Creation: Science, Faith & Intelligent Design (an edited collection from the evangelical Christian publisher InterVarsity). In it Dembski lays out the theological agenda behind the so-called "intelligent design movement." Most of the contributors to this volume are "fellows" of a thinly-veiled creationist think-tank called the Discovery Institute (www.discovery.org).
This neo-creationism is a lot more sophisticated and slickly packaged than the creationism that lost in the courts back in the 80s (for instance, they scrupulously avoid the Bible in their public discussions). Given that 50 percent of Americans are creationists, this new-style creationism may not only slip past the academic publishers (as it has here), but also past the courts. The threat to science education is real. I urge you to take this threat seriously and meet it head on.
Marty Rudin
Dembski's Design Inference -- the inside dust jacket reads:
How can we identify events due to intelligent causes and distinguish them from events due to undirected natural causes? If we lack a causal theory, how can we determine whether an intelligent cause acted? This book presents a reliable method for detecting intelligent causes: the design inference. The design inference uncovers intelligent causes by isolating the key trademark of intelligent causes: specified events of small probability. Just about anything that happens is highly improbable, but when a highly improbable event is also specified (i.e., conforms to an independently given pattern) undirected natural causes lose their explanatory power. Design inferences can be found in a range of scientific pursuits from forensic science to research into the origins of life to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. This challenging and provocative book shows how incomplete undirected causes are for science and breathes new life into classical design arguments. It will be read with particular interest by philosphers of science and religion, other philosophers concerned with epistemology and logic, probability and complexity theorists, and statisticians.
the century and with it the millennium come to an end, questions long buried
have disinterred themselves and come clattering back to intellectual life,
dragging their winding sheets behind them. Just what, for example, is the
origin of biological complexity and how is it to be explained? We have
no more idea today than Darwin did in 1859, which is to say no idea whatsoever.
William Dembski's book is not apt to be the last word on the inference
to design, but it will surely be the first. It is a fine contribution to
analysis, clear, sober, informed, mathematically sophisticated and modest.
Those who agree with its point of view will read it with pleasure, and
those who do not, will ignore it at their peril."
Cliff Walker's initial remarks, which are open for discussion:
Of course they repackaged creationism: everybody agrees they had to do something!
(Perhaps it's time for another Carl Sagan to work on repackaging the counters to creationism, which don't seem to be working.)
However, for them to appear to divorce creationism from it's primary purpose of upholding the Bible or some other "Revealed Word" is for them to engage in dishonesty about their motives.
To establish a creative force behind DNA and life does not establish a god. A god must necessarily have created the universe and be supernatural, otherwise He or She or Whatever is part of the universe, and cannot be distinguished from the Benevolent Space Brothers of that old Carpenters song: "Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft ... [etc]." Such "starseed" entities would themselves thus be subject to the same characteristics as the rest of us.
"Starseed" creation (the term coined by Timothy Leary, Ph.D., while in prison in the 1970s) is physically possible, though unproven (much like the Loch Ness monster is physically possible, though unproven). To postulate supernatural creation would require a whole now approach to science, and thus all the more cannot be "proven" through inference from something complex or unlikely.
Again: Just because something complex or unlikely has happened does not prove intelligent design. Many creationists know this and thus attempt to prove the existence of a creator first, before trying to grapple with the creation question.
For creationism to get past square one, it must first reveal a creator or intelligent creative force intervening in the universe. You must have the creator first before you can establish creation. To infer design from appearance (complexity; unlikelihood) is premature. We detect design because of prior knowledge of a designer. This cannot be overemphasized in our discussions. We ultimately establish design from the presence of a designer. That's what design is: the work of a designer.
(See the Watch-In-The-Desert analogy in my reply to Derrek Leasure's letter for more detail.)
Since we have nothing else with which to compare the universe, we cannot know if it is unnatural (i.e., designed). We must remain agnostic or take creation on faith. We really have no other choices at this stage, until someone comes up with a creator.
In lieu of this, we do best to stick with what we already know: The universe exists; the universe contains things which have specific characteristics; we can make certain observations about the things in the universe. That is as far as we can verify at this point, and we do not, at this point, have a consistent way of testing beyond this.
Cliff Walker
James Call's remarks:
I dunno, Cliff, sounds like more of the old "anything this complex just has to have a creator because it's so ... complex" argument. Which I say fine, go for it. But stick to the truth. Maybe he does and maybe he doesn't. I can't tell without reading the book but if the jacket description is any indication I'd have to say I have my doubts about his dedication to truthfulness. Actually, the jacket description was going along just fine until I got to the part that says, "Just what, for example, is the origin of biological complexity and how is it to be explained? We have no more idea today than Darwin did in 1859, which is to say no idea whatsoever."
Now correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that "for example" question precisely the one that Darwin addressed? I mean, wasn't the treatise called "The Origin of Species" and wasn't it rather revolutionary and comprehensive and hasn't it not been debunked in the 140 years since, and hasn't science even tended to support the idea with new discoveries in the time since? Pretty impressive "no idea whatsoever" idea! If that kind of facetiousnes is in evidence right on the cover, even if merely in that one statement, then it seems this book is probably just another preaching-to-the-choir rant.

| Prince Turki Al-Faisal and Dr Al-Mubarak
Saudi Ambassador to the US Prince Turki Al-Faisal met with Saudi dentist Dr Sultan A. Al-Mubarak at the embassy in Washington December 16. Prince Turki congratulated Dr Mubarak on receiving an Alumnus Certificate of Excellence from the Department of Periodontics and Endodontics of the State University of New York at Buffalo. The certificate – the first to be given to any international dentist – was awarded to Dr Al-Mubarak for his research in the interaction between dental infections and systemic disease, a field that has recently received global scientific attention.
Dr Al-Mubarak is chairman of the Dental Department at the Sultan bin Abdulaziz Humanitarian City Hospital in Riyadh and a visiting associate professor at the Center for Dental Studies of SUNY-Buffalo. In 2000, he completed his postgraduate fellowship at SUNY-Buffalo's School of Dental Medicine, which has longstanding scientific ties with academic facilities in the Kingdom.
