Effective treatments for kidney diseases often should have the following curative effects---lowering high blood pressure and high blood glucose; regulating immune system and enhancing immunity; anti-coagulation, anti-inflammation, etc.
All the above mentioned effects can be achieved if patients have ganoderma. What is more important, ganoderma has no side effects or toxins to the body, it is not only effective but also natural.
Ganoderma is a valuable medicine in China that has thousands of years history to be used to treat diseases. It can help regulate blood pressure, blood sugar level, protect the functions of heart, liver and kidneys, improve sleep quality and prevent irregular heartbeat, etc.
* Ganoderma can treat diabetes which is the leading cause of kidney disease
Ganoderma can promote sugar utilization and inhibit the secretion of fatty acids so as to improve the symptoms and prevent complications including chronic kidney disease.
* Ganoderma can regulate and balance metabolism
Studies have shown that ganoderma can promote the synthesis of nucleic acid and proteins in liver and bone marrow so as to effectively treat diseases and prevent aging. Ganoderma is therefore especially suitable for elderly patients.
* Ganoderma can prevent cardiovascular complications of kidney disease
Often kidney failure is not the main cause of death for the patients. Cardiovascular complications are the major concern. Ganoderma can significantly reduce cholesterol, lipoproteins and triglycerides and prevent atherosclerosis. It can soften the blood vessels, prevent platelet aggregation so as to eliminate blood stasis and promote blood circulation.
* Ganoderma contains a wide range of amino acids and trace elements which are good for treating high blood pressure and high blood lipid.
* Ganoderma can improve kidney functions and enhance immunity
Ganoderma can promote the replication of DNA in damaged renal intrinsic cells so as to help repair and regenerate new renal functioning cells, rebuild renal structure and renal functions.
Ganoderma can enhance immune functions and improve the patient's disease-resistance ability. However it the patients have received kidney transplant, ganoderma can not be eaten or they are more susceptible to organ rejection if their immunity is enhanced.

Witness a dance spectacle which integrates stunts and sizzling, catchy, hip-hop based dance moves integrating samba and other styles with 'Compagnie Kafig.' Assembled by 11 skilled young dancers from Brazil, audiences will not believe their eyes on the level of athleticism coming from this French hip-hop dance troupe.
Celebrity Series of Boston presents this visually stunning production at the Citi Shubert Theatre, 270 Tremont Street in Boston, Massachusetts from Friday, February 7 through Sunday, February 9. Click here for a sample of 'Compagnie Kafig!'
I had the honor of interviewing 'Compagnie Kafig's' director, choreographer, and visionary, Mourad Merzouki about the origins of this fascinating style of dance.
Tell me about your love for dance. Why did you choose to be a dancer and what inspired you to create a show like this?
I first started with the circus. I was an acrobat and had a passion for performing arts. Hip-Hop dance allowed me to bring these skills together. At age fifteen, I discovered hip-hop culture through several French artists. I also experimented with other choreographic styles, particularly French contemporary dance choreographers.
I was introduced to these Brazilian dancers by Guy Darmet, who used to be the Director of the Maison de la Danse in Lyon, and lives between France and Brazil. Guy has been following me for over twenty years and using these dancers, he asked me to create a piece for them.
These young dancers, mostly from the favalas of Rio, were dancing to express themselves, to exist, and to survive. These dancers are full of rhythm and passion. It really fascinated me and I decided to create the piece, Agwa for them.
Compagnie Kafig is a unique, astounding dance experience seeped in catchy, hip-hop tunes. What do you think sets this type of dance apart from other types of performance art? You seem to incorporate many styles of dance.
I try to add circus, martial arts, visual arts, and live music in most of my pieces, but my focus is to bring many different styles and artistic disciplines into hip-hop. My artistic aim is to take risks and make my work evolve. I weave hip-hop movements into a written choreographic story.
There is also what looks like stunts involved in these dance routines. How do these dancers learn such precise moves?
Most of the dancers come from Rio's favelas, so they used to dance in the streets on an individual level. When I first met these dancers, I took their movements to create the piece. I also gave them "homework" and then connected the pieces and refined the choreography. For them, it is a very special experience because it totally changed their approach to dance. They were initially dancing in the streets and now are real professional dancers. These dancers are very precise and work as high level athletes.
How were these performers chosen and what level of athleticism was expected from these performers?
I meet a lot of people touring around the world, and it is always very inspiring. For the different projects I have, we organize auditions and castings and I always get to meet more and more dancers.
Of course, the technical level is an important criterion such as how each dancer will adapt to the project. However above all, the most important thing is to be open-minded and open to the world. This is really the essence of my approach and the purpose of my work.
'Compagnie Kafig' made their first appearance in 2008. How has 'Compagnie Kafig' evolved over the years? What plans do you have for the show in the near future?
'Compagnie Kafig' has been on tour more than 250 times in over 120 cities and 17 countries! We also have four other shows touring at the same time, in France and around the world. I hope this show will continue touring all over the world. I am amazed to see how such a piece can gather all types of audiences, whatever the culture or the country.
How have your expectations changed from when you started 'Compagnie Kafig' and what do you hope to accomplish with this group in terms of expansion?
Agwa has been such a great success, so we decided to carry on the adventure with a second piece, Correria, in 2010 with the same 11 dancers. It is like a fairy tale for all of them! They are now part of a new piece we created last year called Käfig Brasil.
I am always imagining creations with an accent on openness to the world. I keep working on opening and sharing my way of dancing, hip-hop, to other styles and other cultures.
What is the best reason one should attend 'Compagnie Kafig?
To see how hip-hop dance has evolved and shifted from the streets to the stage, to realize how dance can be universal and bring people together, to bring inspiration, and a willingness to open ourselves up to the rest of the world!

I find this to be one of the most amazing Disney Princess fan art ever. While we are geared to think Disney princesses as the pure and innocent and "the fairest of them all", Canadian illustrator Chris Hill (known on DeviantArt as chill07) decided to expose the princesses as something evil. Depicting the Disney princesses as a representation of the "7 deadly sins, Chris illustrates each princess beautifully in "art nouveau" style with the sin they each represent. I never thought about the relation between Belle (Beauty and the Beast) as "vanity" or Ariel (The Little Mermaid) as "greed", but its interesting to think about. Maybe the association of the sins to the princesses is a bit of a stretch, but the end result is seven amazing illustrations that takes your breath away. I wonder if these illustrations are available in prints. I will kill to have them hanging in my house. They are THAT good.
Hit the jump to check out Chris Hill's amazing "The 7 Deadly Sins as Disney Princesses" collection!

I have a piece-wise 2-input function that I would like to repeatedly tile diagonally across a grid. See this image.
So here, I know the equations of the pink, blue and green areas in the range 0 - 2.
My problem is that I'm having trouble finding a way to tile the function diagonally across like shown in the image by transforming the inputs. I tried using $\mod (x_1 = x_1 \mod 2, x_2 = x_2 \mod 2)$ to transform the input, and it worked somewhat, but it was wrong at grids $(2-3, 1-2)$, $(1-2, 2-3)$, $(4-5, 3-4)$ and $(3-4, 4-5)$.
Any help is appreciated!

Building the budgeting process
Photo: City of Houston
The Houston vision is to create a self-perpetuating vehicle and equipment fund that requires new appropriations of zero dollars specifically for the replacement and maintenance of the public works and engineering fleet.
Photo: City of Westminster
Steve Grabarek, a mechanic in Westminster, Colo., helps hold the line on replacement costs through quality maintenance programs.
Minh Tran (left) and Wilfred (Willy) Maranon repair the brakes on a Ford 9000 dump truck in Houston's main fleet shop.
Workman insists on getting accurate equipment usage and cost information, with the help of the FASTER software from CCG Systems. "We look at utilization by class of vehicle, and we look at costs by unit," she said. "We key on the average cost of operation within a class, and then try to look at which units run above the average—then figure out why."
Interdepartmental collaboration with fleet maintenance is formalized through quarterly meetings of the fleet executive board of directors, which includes all of the department representatives. Recently, Workman formed a fleet utilization subcommittee, consisting of the purchasing agent, finance analyst, and major department representatives from such departments as the police, fire, utilities, streets, parks, and recreation. That subcommittee will review criteria for vehicle replacement that include: age in years, cost-per-mile comparisons by class, use by miles or hours, maintenance and repair costs, and depreciation value.
Workman seeks to hold the line on replacement costs, and budgeted numbers show that. The original 2004 replacement budget contained $1.4 million; for 2005, the number was $1.5 million; and the 2006 budget includes $1.2 million for vehicle replacements. The fleet grew substantially at the end of 2004, when the public safety tax passed and $750,615 in new public safety vehicles was added.
No matter how you fund new equipment, it's good business to account for inflation. "We depreciate vehicles over six to eight years, on a straight-line basis, and about three or four years ago, we began to add 2% every year," said Tom Hammitte, chief of the fleet services division in Alexandria, Va. "So over eight years, that's 16%. Before we did that, we were constantly behind in our funding."
Money is tight at the city of Alexandria, but equipment replacement budgets have edged up slowly. For fiscal years 2005, 2006, and 2007, the replacement figures are $2.75 million, about $3 million, and $3.133 million, respectively.
"We have cut back on some of our preventive maintenance budgets, and we hold vacant positions open for a few months to save money," said Hammitte. "Our problem is that our fleet size has increased by 20% over the past six years, but we don't get any new technicians. Now we have a new city manager, so I have been working with my superiors to lobby for additional technicians." The city's ratio of equipment pieces to technicians is 70:1, which is high for governmental fleets, Hammitte said.
In Roanoke, Va., the equipment replacement budget has risen from about $2 million in fiscal year 2005 to $2.4 million in fiscal year 2006. Ken Bernard, the fleet manager, expects that fiscal year 2007's budget will jump another $300,000 or more. "We're pushing to get it to $3 million," said Bernard. "We need more equipment."
The city needs three new pieces of fire apparatus, which will cost about $1.5 million. The rest of the money will go for trash trucks and some dump trucks.
Still, Bernard is judicious with his spending. "We make sure we're doing the best we can for the least amount of money," he said. "We try to run it like a business.
"We do zero-based budgeting," said Bernard. "For whatever money you're going to request, you need to justify the entire number. You don't just take whatever number you used last year and add 3%."
Back in Houston, Bowker said his revolving fund could be a model—like a pilot program—for the entire city. "You don't tell people to do something," he said. "You roll it out, and pretty soon you're sitting on a tremendous amount of cash. You have to show people how it works."

Kenny Edwards
), and when they disbanded in the early '70s with only one unreleased album to their name, she was signed by Warner Bros. Her sound was typical of singer/songwriters of the period (she played piano and acoustic guitar), although her earliest work boasted more experimental flourishes than most. Waldman's father,
Fred Steiner
, was a Hungarian/American composer, and her mother, Shirley, a professional violinist; it was clear she had been schooled in a wide variety of musical styles. Waldman's first success came when
Maria Muldaur
recorded two of her songs, "Mad Mad Me" and "Vaudeville Man," on her self-titled 1972 album. She was particularly skillful at writing blues-based tunes, with unexpected Gershwin-esque and orchestral twists, and her first two albums,
Love Has Got Me
Gypsy Symphony
, were extremely strong and critically favored. But none of her releases sold more than 25,000 copies, and she never made a chart appearance. After the failure of 1982's

The 25th annual America's Family Pet Expo was held in Orange County, CA in April 2014. The Expo focuses on dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and all manner of household pets. The purpose of the Expo is to expose the public to animals and products for the animals. There was everything from food, toys, clothing, books, trainers, adoptions as well as many pet charities.
Greyhounds were in evidence at least three booths. The FastFriends.org Greyhound Adoption group out of La Habra Heights, CA had two wire pens full of adopted ex-racing Greyhounds. The purpose of the booth is to educate people about ex-racing Greyhounds and to have people interact with the dogs.
On both sides of the booth, there were large-breed excited dogs that were constantly barking. In contrast, the Greyhounds were lounging in their pens or calmly taking pets from adults and children interested in the dogs. At least one Greyhound was out of the pen in front of the booth so people could see how the dogs interacted with strangers and to also allow easier access to the dog. Greyhounds are usually calmer around strangers and chaos as they have been handled extensively during their racing days and are used to the noise and chaos that swirls around them.
The purpose of the booth was to introduce and educate the public about ex-racing Greyhounds and to dispel some of the misnomers that surround Greyhounds. Many Expo attendees were excited to learn about the Greyhounds and see them in person. Most mentioned how beautiful and graceful they were as well as calm and quiet. Many asked in-depth questions regarding their care, feeding and what kind of exercise they require. The kids said the Greyhound were very soft and very pretty and colorful.
FastFriends.org is usually in attendance at the Expo so if you missed them this year, they should be back in 2015.
Reviewer adopted her ex-racing Greyhound from www.FastFriends.org.

Franklin Roland Kattnig passed away on Sept. 14, 2012. Frank was born in Florence, Colo., on Dec. 11, 1942, and was one of six children of Pearl and Martin Kattnig.
Frank graduated from Florence High School. He earned his bachelor's degree from Southern Colorado State College and his master's degree in education and counseling from New Mexico Highlands University. Frank had a lifelong love of reading, southwestern history, and lively conversation, and he always took time to learn about each person he met.
Frank taught in various schools in southern Colorado. He served a tour of duty in the Army. Frank lived for many years in San Francisco working at various jobs, including at teaching at a head start center. He returned to Colorado in the 1980s.
In 1984, he took a job as an English teacher at Tohatchi High School in Tohatchi, N.M. He later became a career counselor at Tohatchi High School and worked passionately to place many students in college. Frank worked at Tohatchi High School until 1999, and he always remembered fondly his time with the students, faculty, and people of Tohatchi.
After his retirement, Frank continued to influence the people around him with his unique knowledge of the people of the Southwest and his knowledge of literature.
Everyone he knew and the people he met in everyday life could not help but be drawn into conversations about his interest in reading, cooking, and history. He kept his family history alive with his stories about the past. We will all miss the warmth and richness he brought to our family.
Frank was preceded in death by his parents, Pearl and Martin, as well as his brothers, Paul and Martin Jr., and his sister, Katherine.
Frank is survived by his sisters, Mona Yellico of Canon City, Colo. and Juanita Schultz of Shelby, Mich., as well as many nieces and nephews. He was well loved by his family and friends and each day we will miss his intelligent and unique personality, but most of all his kindness.
A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday at Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Tohatchi, with a reception to follow at Tohatchi High School. Frank will be buried with his parents and there will be a graveside memorial service at 11 a.m. on Oct. 6 at Union Highland Cemetery near Florence, Colo.
Donations may be made to the Frank Kattnig Memorial Scholarship Fund at Tohatchi High School, by check made payable to Fern Spencer for the Frank Kattnig Memorial Scholarship Fund, P.O. Box 248, Tohatchi, New Mexico 807325.

Sliced Apples Sold to McDonald's, Burger King and Grocery Chains Recalled for Listeria
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on August 13, 2012 @ 7:21PM
Created on August 13, 2012 @ 2:36PM
(CBS/AP) Pre-sliced apples distributed to fast-food and grocery chains across the country are among packaged products being recalled due to possible contamination with Listeria bacteria.
Missa Bay LLC, owned by Ready Pac Foods Inc. of Swedesboro, N.J., announced the voluntary recall on Friday, saying a total of 293,488 cases and 296,224 individual units went to 36 states and the District of Columbia. People who may have purchased the recalled products are asked to record use-by dates and UPC codes and contact Ready Pac at 800-800-7822. A complete list of products can be found on the Food and Drug Administration website.
Packaged apple slices distributed to McDonald's and Burger King in some states are included in the recall, as are some packaged fruit, veggies, salads and sandwiches containing apples distributed to Wawa convenience store and Wegman's grocery chains. Various apple and fruit snacks with "Ready Pac" labels and apple salad kits with a "Safeway Farms" label are included as well.
Specifically, 1.2-oz. packages of apple slices with "McDonald's" label that were sold only in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont on or before Aug. 19 were included in the recall, including oatmeal products containing apples sold in those states. Also included were McDonald's 5.75-oz. fruit and walnut snacks sold on or before Aug. 20.
Burger King's 2-oz. fresh apple slices sold on or before Aug. 30 are included in the recall.
No illnesses have been reported, but the recall was a result of Listeria being found on equipment used to produce apple products by Missa Bay.
The recalled snacks have use-by dates of July 8 through Aug. 20, the company said. People should check their refrigerators for products with those use-by dates, the company said. It asked retailers to check store shelves and inventories to make sure none of the packages are there.
Last summer, McDonald's announced healthier Happy Meals would include fruit automatically with every meal purchased. Previously kids had been offered a choice between fries and apple slices with caramel dipping sauce. Burger King also announced last summer its cashiers would routinely ask customers if they wanted "healthier apple fries" instead of the standard for French fries.
Listeria is a bacteria that causes food poisoning and is especially dangerous to the elderly, people with weakened immune systems and pregnant women. While a pregnant woman may experience mild, flu-like symptoms, the illness caused by Listeria -- called listeriosis -- can lead to miscarriage, premature delivery or life-threatening infection in newborns.
Symptoms in people besides pregnant women can include fever and muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions.
According to the Food and Drug Administration website the items were sold in the following locations:
Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Washington D.C., Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin and West Virginia.

Now I remember why I don't like going to crowded ranges...
I managed to turn a range trip into a family event. Got everyone in there and ended up waiting for a good 30 minutes just to get a lane. I had planned on going early (read opening), but the rest of the fam insisted on getting there around 1130 much to my insistance otherwise. So needless to say I lost and we ended up waiting because all the lanes were packed.
While waiting I overheard a conversation between one of the RSO's and another customer. The short and sweet version is that he's been shot twice by customers:gah: in that range and that's part of the reason why they finally racheted up their rules. That was exactly the conversation I didn't need going on when trying to get an uneasy sibling into the range when she was already nervous to start with. UGH!:rolleyes:
There's something about crowded ranges and the RSO's on duty being shot that really makes the hair on the back of the neck go up.:blink:

College Hockey:Ceglarski Gets His Place
CHESNUT HILL, Mass. — Receiving all the pomp and circumstance due to him, legendary Boston College player and head coach Len Ceglarski's jersey was raised to the Conte Forum rafters Friday night in a ceremony between periods of the Boston College-Boston University game.
BC's all-time winningest coach was treated to a five-minute pictorial tribute on the BC JumboTron before being presented a framed replica of the jersey by Boston College athletic director Gene DeFilippo.
"There are just so many great memories," said a wide-grinned Ceglarski in an interview during BC's 5-1 victory over BU on Friday. "It's hard to tell you how much BC has done for me, my wife and my family. It really was a great thrill for me to come back tonight."
Ceglarski was a three-year letter winner in both baseball and hockey for Boston College, having been part of a legendary baseball double play combo with ex-Boston Red Sox manager Joe Morgan.
His standout hockey career at Boston College included the 1949 NCAA Championship in which Ceglarski scored a goal to put BC up 3-2 in an eventual 4-3 victory over Dartmouth. His squad would once again advance to the NCAA tournament the following year, 1950, where they'd fall in the semi-finals to Colorado College, and Ceglarski would go on to captain the 1950-51 team.
After leaving BC, Ceglarski was part of the well-known 1952 U.S. Olympic team that captured the silver medal, before beginning a legendary college hockey coaching career.
That career, which began at Clarkson and ended at his alma mater, BC, included 673 victories with Ceglarski retiring as college hockey's all-time winningest coach (he has since been passed and now ranks No. 5 on the all-time list.)
After a 14-year career coaching at Clarkson that included three trips to the NCAA Championship game, Ceglarski arrived at the Heights in 1972 to follow in the footsteps of his own and legendary BC coach John 'Snooks' Kelley. His arrival at the Heights began a Golden Era of Boston College hockey that included nine NCAA tournament appearances, two Hockey East championships, and only three losing seasons.
Ceglarski coached Joe Mullen in 1979, who would go on to be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2000, and Hobey Baker Award winner David Emma in 1991.
In 1990, Ceglarski received the Lester Patrick Award from the National Hockey League for his contributions to the game of hockey and over his college coaching career was a three-time recipient (1966 at Clarkson and 1973 and 1985 at BC) of the Spencer Penrose Award given annually to the coach of the year in college hockey.
"He gave me great guidance early in my career," said current Boston College head coach Jerry York, who served as an assistant under Ceglarski at Clarkson before taking over the reigns at BC three seasons after Len's retirement. "He was a great coach and was even underestimated as a player."
As far as memories Ceglraski has plenty, particular from his days behind the bench for the maroon and gold.
"If I named off memories, I'd have to give you 200," said Ceglarski when asked to remember his best memories of his years at the Heights. "I remember Brian Leetch his first year, or Joey Mullen. I remember Billy Guerin and could tell you great stories about all of those kids.
"But that's the great part about coaching. I still get a call every Christmas from my first captain at Clarkson University, and Richie Smith, my first recruit [at BC] he comes to games with me all the time. That's really the fun part of all of this."
And now, Ceglarski can enjoy that "fun" knowing his name is forever etched into Boston College hockey history.

Many residents across Virginia were surprised to receive an AMBER Alert text message just after noon on Wednesday, Feb. 19, 2014. According to the Virginia State Police, Wednesday's AMBER Alert was the first alert issued since Virginia opted into the Wireless Emergency Alert program about a year ago.
In restaurants, businesses and other public places across the state, a cacaphony of alarms caused people to stop in their tracks. The Wireless Emergency Alert program is offered through a partnership between law enforcement agencies, broadcasters and transportation agencies.
According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, AMBER Alerts are issued in serious child abduction cases, particularly in instances when the child is considered to be in imminent danger.
In addition to the AMBER Alert, the Wireless Emergency Alert includes National Weather Service, presidential and imminent threat alerts.
There is no charge to mobile phone users for the alerts. If you own a capable mobile device, you will automatically receive the alerts if you are in a geographic area where an alert has been issued, according to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
The alerts are transmitted to all mobile devices within range of the cellular carrier towers in the affected area simultaneously. The system doesn't track your whereabouts or your cell number.
Wednesday's alert showed the following information on my phone and mobile devices across the state:
Orange, VA AMBER Alert:
Burgundy Mercedes C240
The missing child was 5-year-old Amiyah Monet Dallas, who was reportedly abducted on Feb. 18 at 3:50 p.m. by her aunt, Olivia Nicole Dallas.
Olivia Dallas has a history of depression and drug use. Investigators in the abduction case considered the child to be in imminent danger.
Unlike many AMBER Alerts, Wednesday's story had a happy ending. Just 27 minutes after the AMBER Alert was issued, a state trooper spotted the vehicle disabled on the side of the road.
The Virginia State Police Chesapeake Division Communications Center received more than a dozen phone calls from the public following the AMBER Alert, leading police to the area where the vehicle was found, according to a statement from the Virginia State Police.
Olivia Dallas was taken into custody without incident and Amiyah was returned to her family. The technology behind the AMBER Alert text messages will help locate missing children more quickly and that's a win for everyone.

6 April 2012: Guerrilla group FARC released its last military and police hostages this week, raising hopes that progress might be made toward a negotiated end to Colombia's half century old internal armed conflict. Javier Ciurlizza, Crisis Group's Latin America Program Director, looks at how the administration of President Santos and the international community can build a model for negotiations, peace, and transitional justice. 4:31

Welcome to this podcast from the International Crisis Group. I'm Ben Dalton, Communications & IT Officer. In February, Colombian guerrilla group FARC pledged to end its longstanding practice of kidnapping for ransom, a promise partially fulfilled early this week when the group released its remaining military and police captives. Some see the move as signaling the beginning of the end of Colombia's half-century old internal armed conflict. I spoke earlier with Javier Ciurlizza, Crisis Group's Latin America Program Director, about how the Colombian government and FARC can move toward a negotiated peace.
So, Javier, realistically, what model for negotiation, peace and transitional justice can be built in Colombia?
The internal armed conflict in Colombia is an asymmetrical war. The government has taken the initiative both in political terms but also in terms of military achievements and gains. Therefore, the situation in Colombia is quite different from the one we had in 1998, when the last peace effort was implemented and failed.
The kind of peace that Colombia could have will combine three elements. First, strong initiatives from the government, particularly for victims and land restitution programs. Second, a transitional justice mechanism that can combine truth, reparation and justice and bring former combatants into some sort of political participation. And third, a very strong economic and social program to develop the areas most affected by the war, which are also the poorest and the more excluded in the country.
How can Colombia prevent other violent and illegal groups from filling the gap left by FARC and ELN as they demobilize?
It is very important to remind the last experience of a demobilization process in Colombia, which happened in 2005-06, when the former paramilitary went into the so called peace and justice process. The process was a success in terms of demobilizing these persons and getting a very important quota of truth and reparation for victims. But it has been a failure in terms of pacifying effectively the places where the paramilitaries used to be. The new so called criminal gangs, or new criminal organizations, have filled the vacuum.
So in order to prevent that from happening again after a peace process in Colombia, we have to take into account at least two issues. First, again, social development, economic development and a decisive fight against poverty is crucial to avoid the recruitment, particularly of the young people in the areas by new criminal groups. And second, to create incentives and job opportunities for the whole population in order to prevent that the mix between drug trafficking and armed activities appear again.
What would you say is the best way the international community can support the case for negotiated peace?
The international community can play a very important role in creating incentives for the government, but also for the guerrillas to go in to the table and discuss basic issues in a peace agenda. Depending on what kind of international community we're talking, we will see a strong support for the government or strong incentives for the guerrillas to find some sort of mediation for a peace process agreement.
But the second and perhaps most important role that the international community can play is going beyond the peace agreement and the peace truce that can be achieved and supporting very strong economic development in the area with focalized investments to prevent the armed groups from reappearing and drug traffickers just hiring new employees where the former were.

text: Hey guys, it's been a long time. Recently I've been extremely busy as I've taken up Aikido and at the same time have been involved in a play and studying for finals AND working. Unfortunatly, it doesn't look like my load is going to get any lighter this summer. My assistant director is moving to Nashville and is teaching some classes in the area and wants me to come up there and help him get started this summer, and when I'm not up there I've still got my job at a pizza place and my Aikido. What it all boils down to is this: I am not going to have time for the PA. This doesn't mean that I won't be playing Galaxies, when I have time I will be working it into my schedule, but I won't have the ability to play god with you all. I'm not sure who my replacement is going to be yet, I'm leaning towards Jan as a replacement but that is under discussion. It's not that I want to leave you guys, but I don't feel like it would be right for me to hold such a powerful role when I will do as little as I probably will be able to do. As it is I feel like the fairest thing that I can do is become an associate of the Associates, a guest of honor if you will, and play with you all when I can. I don't know if I will stay an "official" member, I'm going to wait and see how much or little I play before I make that kind of a decision. I'll try and be on the board a little more often now, but for now I wish you all good luck and may the Associates prosper.

Blair Heffner Leads Women's Soccer to 3-1 Win Over High Point
Led by two goals from Blair Heffner, the East Carolina women's soccer team defeated High Point 3-1 Friday afternoon in the 2007 season opener. The Pirates are now 4-0 all-time against the Panthers and are 3-0 in season openers against High Point. ECU moves to 1-0 while High Point falls to 0-1.
Against the Wildcats, three Pirates netted their first goals of the season in Chrissy Gratz, Hali Oughton (game-winner) and Stephanie Seagrave (first career strike). Redshirt sophomore Danielle Romano recorded assists on both Oughton and Seagrave's goals coming off corner kicks. Oughton also picked up an assist in the match on Gratz' ninth career goal, finishing the match with a career-best three points.
Pirate keeper Christiane Cordero collected her second shutout of the season and ninth career clean sheet with one save in 90 minutes of action against Davidson. Against Charlotte she allowed one goal and registered three saves in the Pirates first home loss of the season.
In a game that saw aggressive and stellar defensive play by both clubs on Monday night, Charlotte took an early lead in the first half when Carrie Dail scored her first goal of the 2012 campaign from 35 yards out off a pass from Darby Broeker. The Pirates had their opportunities in the match out shooting the 49ers 11-7, but only had three shots on goal compared to five for Charlotte.
High Point (1-1-3) rolls into Greenville on the heels of its first win of the season against Appalachian State over the weekend. The Panthers lone loss came against then No. 25 Auburn on the road, 4-1, and has collected three ties (VCU, Tennessee Tech and Georgia Southern).

The Graduate Biomedical Sciences (GBS) program comprises eight interdisciplinary themes: Biochemistry, Structural & Stem Cell Biology; Cancer Biology; Cell, Molecular & Developmental Biology; Genetics, Genomics & Bioinformatics; Immunology; Microbiology; Neuroscience; and Pathobiology & Molecular Medicine.
The GBS approach enables an entering student with undecided or very broad interests to explore varied courses and sample the expertise of more than 350 productive GBS faculty before they commit to a thesis research direction. Alternately, students with defined interests can immediately begin to focus in-depth on the research area they wish to pursue.
Applicants select a theme for entry into the GBS program and then are reviewed and approved for offer of admission by the GBS Admissions Committee, comprising faculty and student representatives of all GBS themes. Although students enter a selected theme on admission, they may explore research and course options provided by any theme and can change theme affiliations if their interests evolve in new directions.
A GBS program overview is offered below:
GBS Basic Biosciences Core Courses (August-December) – First year students in all GBS themes participate in an accelerated 20-week, three-block core course that provides a common foundation in essential principles of biochemistry, metabolism, molecular biology, genetics, and biological organization, upon which theme-specific courses are based.
GBS Theme Modules (January-May) – The remainder of the first-year curriculum is presented in multiple modules of approximately one month each. These modules focus on training and research areas tailored to specific interests of individual themes or theme groups. Theme students select five of the 34 one-month modules to complete the first and second semester curriculum. Each theme offers a recommended modular training pathway or a pathway can be tailored to student interests.
GBS Biostatistics and GBS Bioethics Core Courses (spring and fall sessions) – This GBS Biostatistics course is designed specifically for GBS theme students. It may be completed in the spring of the first or second year, upon advice of the theme director and faculty mentor. The GBS Bioethics course covers training in the responsible conduct of research, as required by the National Institutes of Health and by the UAB Graduate School for all students in the biomedical sciences; it is offered in the fall semester.
Individual themes offer additional enrichment courses, such as Methods and Scientific Logic and Neuroscience Summer Seminar Series, during the first year to provide experience in reading and presenting primary research literature.
Research Rotations (3 rotations, 10 weeks each) – Students select three laboratory research rotations from an array of GBS faculty-sponsored research opportunities (see Faculty Profiles for examples) with the guidance of theme directors or rotation advisors. These also include opportunities with scientists at the Southern Research Institute and HudsonAlpha Biotechnology Institute. Each rotation period concludes with a GBS-wide Rotation Poster Session during which students present their rotation projects. Students who enter a theme early, during the summer session, can begin their rotations at that time, and students who feel they need a fourth rotation at the end of the first year can arrange for that opportunity.
Thesis Mentor Selection – It is expected that students will select their thesis research mentor and confirm their theme affiliation typically by May of their first year of training. Students who enter a theme early, during the summer semester, may select their mentor and begin their thesis research by late February.
The first year of training typically begins with several GBS orientation events, including faculty poster sessions that present potential research rotation projects, and concludes with a GBS-wide BBQ event.
See the GBS First-Year Curriculum and Laboratory Rotation Overview.
Electives/Advanced Courses – Typically three courses are required, in accord with theme policies, and are determined by student and thesis mentor. An extensive menu of advanced courses provided by all themes is available, which enables students to expand their knowledge base and extend their research network. A listing of elective and advanced courses and journal clubs is found here. See theme websites for course descriptions and details. Specific curricula are also designed for completion of additional certificate programs.
Journal Club and/or Seminar – Students select a Journal Club, organized by a theme, a department or a university research center, for participation each term during the remainder of their PhD training. They also may participate in selected seminars directly related to their primary research or to provide exposure to new scientific areas.
Additional enrichment and professional development courses, including grantsmanship and scientific writing skills, also are provided during the second and subsequent years.
Thesis Research – In the second year, students typically spend a significant proportion of their time in the lab on preliminary research to lay the foundation for their qualifying exam and their thesis project.
Thesis Committee – After selecting a research mentor, a thesis committee is formed in consultation between student and advisor to provide guidance in selecting appropriate advanced courses, journal clubs, research project and to administer the qualifying exam. The committee is established in the second year of training.
Qualifying Exam – The qualifying exam consists of two components, a written NIH-style research proposal on the topic of the student's intended thesis research project and an oral defense of the approved proposal. The qualifying exam typically occurs by the beginning of the third year of training. Students also often submit their qualifying exam research proposals to NIH and other funding organizations for consideration for independent fellowship awards.
PhD Degree – Upon successful completion of the qualifying exams, a student is eligible for admission to candidacy for the PhD degree. The typical time to degree is approximately 5.5 years (range 4-6 years), during which GBS students spend the majority of time in laboratory research. They also attend one or more national scientific meetings annually and publish an average of four or more first-author and co-authored publications in the peer-reviewed press.
Completion of the training requirements in the above interdisciplinary themes provides eligibility for conferral of a doctoral degrees in these areas: Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, Cell Biology, Cellular and Molecular Physiology, Microbiology, Neurobiology, Pathology, and Pharmacology and Toxicology.

Actor Idris Elba has played every role: from a tough guy (Russell "Stringer" Bell on The Wire), to a corporate suit (on The Office), to a bank robber (in the movie Takers). What's consistent in all of these roles is his commitment to health. Recently, the actor had pictures that were taken while on set that looked as though his had a bigger–um–"package." But Idris tweeted that it was just his mic attached to the inside of his pants. Either way, the ladies love the British-born actor.
But there's another secret: the stars real name. The 42-year-old admitted in a 2014 interview, "My name was Idrissa," Elba admitted. "I was not getting away with that. There was a kid who used to laugh every time my name was called out at registration. That's why I changed it."
No wonder.

Final Box Score (PDF)
TUCSON, Ariz. - The top-ranked Stanford women's soccer team defeated host Arizona, 3-0, on Sunday afternoon at Murphey Field at Mulcahy Soccer Stadium.
The Cardinal remained unbeaten on the season, improving to 15-0-2 overall and 6-0 in the Pac-10 Conference. The Wildcats, who earned their first-ever victory over California on Friday night, dropped to 5-9-2 overall and 1-4 in league action.
The Wildcats hung tough in the opening period after facing 12 Stanford shots and four corner kicks. Goalkeeper Ashley Jett recorded a pair of saves, but All-American Christen Press netted the game's first goal in the 16th minute, her 19th goal of the season.
The game remained a one-goal differential until the 61st minute when Allison McCann scored off an assist from Teresa Noyola. The Cardinal extended the lead to 3-0 five minutes later with a goal by Lindsay Taylor in the 66th minute.
Arizona threatened with five shots of its own in the second half and put five of its eight total shots on goal in the game. But, Stanford goalkeeper Emily Oliver was steady in goal, recording five saves to keep a clean sheet against the Wildcats.
Jazmin Ponce led the Wildcats with three shots in the game, while Shannon Heinzler, who netted the game-winner in overtime on Friday, added two shots - both struck on goal and turned away by Oliver.
The Wildcats will travel to the Oregon schools this week to continue conference action. First up will be a match against the Oregon Ducks on Friday, Oct. 29, in Eugene, Ore.

Find the correct Anti Roll Bars & Components for your vehicle
Anti Roll Bars & Components
When you steer heavily into a corner, the laws of physics dictate that the lateral movement would, at some point, tip your car over or cause it to roll.
The part which stops this from happening is the anti-roll bar, also referred to as a stabiliser bar or torsion bar. Needless to say, it's a pretty important part of your car and needs to be looked after.
We stock anti roll bars and components for almost all makes and models of car, and our helpful in-store colleagues are always on hand to help point you in the right direction should you get stuck.

Nec 2690 Question & Help
I would like to get a 2690. I assume I will need a new video card to get the max resolution as right now I have the Geo Force FX5200.
Therefore I will probably buy a DVI card and I am looking for suggestions on a card that works well with this combination. I am running XP on s 3 year old dell.
Also, my main application is CS3. So with the wide screen monitor will I be able to move palets to one side and leave the editing area in the center. Originally, I was going to use the dual monitor capability for this, but if I can do it all on one screen so much the better.
Thanks in advance for any input.

Choosing the Right Contractor
From Engineering on October 16, 2013 in Tools and Tips
Big projects around the home require a home improvement contractor. With companies specializing in everything from polished concrete to custom fixtures, choosing a contractor is an overwhelming experience. If you plan well and take your time to find a professional, your job will turn into a masterpiece.
Do You Like Him?
Interviewing the contractor and taking them through your home is one of the first steps in finding a good professional. During casual conversation about the project, mentally note if the contractor has unique ideas that match your own about design and functionality. They should have a firm grasp on the project's details. For example, do not hire a contractor specializing in living room design if you need your bathroom remodeled.
Don't Settle
Although you may like the first contractor, interview at least two other companies to get a well-rounded view of project strategies and varied price quotes. If one company has an extremely cheap price tag, compare the materials and labor to the other quotes. That company may cut corners to get your business, and you end up with a poorly constructed project.
Licenses Are Critical
Every contractor must be licensed in their state of residence. Insurance, including worker's compensation, should be up-to-date and available upon request. Contractors that have no license or insurance can easily sue you if an accident happens at your home. Check if your chosen contractor applies for the necessary building permits for previous jobs. Some companies have the customer pull permits themselves which can be very time consuming and confusing for a novice. Protect yourself by asking about all paperwork before any work begins.
Talk It Up
If your contractor has a website, view their past projects and potentially contact previous clients. These customers give you an inside view on work ethic and project quality. Avoid contractors that leave a mess or don't complete a project as requested. Ask friends for their referrals. Other homeowners may have contractors they hire on a consistent basis because of their honest work.
Payment Is Due
Do not hire contractors that require full payment upfront. Although companies need to buy the necessary materials to start the job, a professional contractor has monetary reserves to begin the project. A percentage is typically paid up front, then small percentages (called progress payments) are usually paid out over several weeks to show good faith between the customer and contractor. At the end of the project, full payment is due. Check that all payment requirements are written down in the project contract before hiring the contractor, so there is no confusion once both parties agree on the terms.
Hiring a contractor is a research project for you, but the results are worth the effort. You may find a contractor that is able to do other projects in the future without any need to interview other companies. Choose wisely and reap the rewards of a quality home improvement project.

Buffalo News July 22, 2003 Warning of Toxic Aftermath from Uranium Munitions by Anthony Cardinale The American use of depleted uranium munitions in both Persian Gulf wars has unleashed a toxic disaster that will eclipse the Agent Orange tragedy of the Vietnam War, a former top Army official said Monday evening. Former Maj. Douglas Rokke, who was director of the Army's depleted uranium project, spoke to 125 people at the Buffalo & Erie County Historical Society. The Champaign, Ill., science professor was brought here by the Western New York Peace Center. "I am a warrior," the 54-year-old Vietnam War veteran began. "The sole purpose of war is to kill and destroy. There are no winners." Dressed in sneakers, blue jeans and a red polo shirt, Rokke fit the image of an animated science professor, hair tousled, adjusting his glasses and eager to impart his findings to the next generation. If what he says is true, students will soon have yet another chapter of heartbreaking history to study in the schools. If he is wrong, it will take years to disprove. Called to active duty in 1990, Rokke said, he was assigned to develop(Continue reading)

He will speak on health consequences of the U.S. military's use of radioactive weapons in Iraq. The program is free and open to the public. Dr. Rokke's presentation is sponsored by the North Country Coalition for Justice and Peace in observance of Hiroshima Day, the first use of radioactive weapons against an unsuspecting civilian population, in 1945. Major Rokke, an Army Reserve officer, Ph.D. scientist and former college professor, is an expert on depleted uranium--also known as "DU"--a heavy, radioactive metal used by the Defense Department to make ammunition. He speaks around the world on the cover-up of Gulf War casualties, calling for a ban on the use of DU munitions. "DU is the stuff of nightmares," Rokke says: "it is toxic, radioactive, and pollutes for 4,500 years." He calls the use of DU a "war crime," as(Continue reading)

Where in the World is Cruise Critic?
December 16, 2013 | By Cruise Critic | No Comments
Cruise Critic staffers set sail every week, traveling the globe to bring you the latest cruise ship trends, port sneak peeks and onboard observations. Here's where we are this week.
(Got questions about any of the ships we're boarding? Ask us in the comments!)
Ship: Compagnie du Ponant's Le Soleal
Who: Carolyn Spencer Brown, Editor in Chief
Why There? Having just boarded Ponant's newest ship — the 263-passenger Soleal — late last week in Singapore, we're interested in this line, new for Cruise Critic. So far, it reminds us of Windstar and SeaDream — which both offer destination oriented cruises but with a Gallic flair.
We Can't Wait: An all-Indonesia itinerary (save for our starting port of Singapore) is a very specific type of Asia trip, more about villages, Buddhist temples, and historic ruins than marquee ports of call And that's right up the alley for Compagnie du Ponant, a France-based cruise line that offers trips for passengers who want more exotic destinations. Ponant's well known for its Antarctic and Arctic itineraries but, after a few days onboard, it's clear that the line understands that exotic means not only continents but also ports, and itineraries, that are meant for intrepid travelers.

It's no surprise chocolate is the leading gift for Valentine's Day. There are many aspects to chocolate that make it the gift of love. An Indigenous myth tells us that "when the balance between humans and nature becomes threatened, cacao comes from the rainforest to open people's hearts and return the planet to a state of harmony." – Keith, Cacao Shaman from Guatemala
Criollo (ceremonial cacao) is one of the most gentle facilitators of the plant medicine kingdom. It will lead you to the door, but not push you through it.
Shop these Oklahoma City stores to purchase products in this article.
Chocolate clears memories of poverty, limitation, lack, financial blocks, putting money first and opens us to Divine Abundance. It helps us to let go of making money or material items our priority and to with inspired action that is perfect and right for us . We can drink it or mentally imagine drinking it, too.
Physical benefits of chocolate
- Reduce risks of cardiovascular disease and stroke
- Help stabilize blood sugar
- Improves blood pressure
- More antioxidants than red wine or ea
- Improve gut flora
- Potent anti-inflammatory
Additional options to add to hot chocolate
- 1 tsp rose water, opens the heart
- 1/4 tsp black maca, cleanses old stress
- 1 drop Blue Solar water, cleanses negative memories
- Marshmallows, harmonizes male/female energies
Any chocolate works well and decaffeinated cocoa powder is available. Raw cocoa nibs are available for those on the raw diet. Both are found in health food stores.
History of spiritual benefits of food
Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona, recognized as a kahuna lapaʻau (healer) in Hawaiʻi, updated an ancient healing practice called, Hoʻo pono pono, which means reconciliation. She is credited with bringing Ho' o pono pono to the West and taught throughout the United States, Asia and Europe. She spent many hours seeking information on the spiritual benefits of food.
According to her student, Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, "Drinking hot chocolate releases error memories in the subconscious that put gain first as opposed to doing something because it is divinely correct to do. Drinking hot chocolate releases error memories that cause violence in relationships, smoothing things out so that relationships are not about gain but about love."
Kahuna's were told about the West and I believe Morrnah dedicated herself to providing this knowledge for the benefit of mankind. Morrnah always said we each must find our own inner Shangri-La. Knowing the spiritual benefits of chocolate is a great key to opening this doorway.

A teenage girl was hit by a car early this morning in Farmingdale and is listed in critical condition.
Natali DiMaio, 17, of Manorville, was crossing Route 110 at 12:08 a.m. this morning just south of Conklin Street in Farmingdale on foot with a group of friends. As she crossed, a 1998 Nissan Altima driven by 45-year-old Brooklyn resident Stanislav Litvinov was headed south in the middle lane. The Altima hit DiMaio and, according to witnesses, Litvinov had a green light.
DiMaio was taken to Nassau University Medical Center and is listed in serious, critical condition.
No violations or charges have been filed against Litvinov. The Altima was impounded for a safety check.
First Squad detectives are asking anyone with information to contact them at 631-854-8146 or 631-854-8151.

|UBCIC Calls for Immediate Implementation of Enhanced 911 for Cell Phones in Rural Communities
For Immediate Release
January 16, 2009
(Coast Salish Territory/Vancouver, January 16, 2009) In the early morning hours of New Year's Day, 18 year old Matthew Armstrong called 911 four times pleading for help. Matthew was lost in the woods south of Williams Lake trying to find his way home. Matthew's frozen body was found hours later.
"Matthew would be alive today if it was not for the mindless and irresponsible squabbling of wireless companies, emergency dispatchers and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission of who should immediately invest the financial resources necessary to upgrade Canada's cellular system. The sole intent of 911 is to render assistance in emergencies. Matthew's death is directly attributable to the failings of an outdated and dangerously deficient 911 system," stated Grand Chief Stewart Phillip.
"While the Union of BC Indian Chiefs supports the CRTC's decision to compel wireless providers and emergency dispatchers to upgrade their equipment by February 2010, we are deeply concerned that the initial focus is to upgrade equipment in cities such as Vancouver," said Grand Chief Phillip. "The UBCIC believes that the most urgent need for upgraded equipment is in the rural communities. If such an upgrade was implemented years ago, Matthew's 911 calls would have saved his life."
Grand Chief Phillip concluded "The UBCIC strongly believes the contributing factors leading to Matthew's death were totally avoidable. It is infuriating and heart-breaking to think, it was petty squabbling over money that ultimately cost Matthew his life."
