A California ballot initiative, called Proposition 37, is pushing for a law enforcing the labeling of all bioengineered foods sold in the state. The so-called Big Six of the biotech agricultural products industry, namely – DuPont (NYSE:DD), Monsanto, Bayer CropScience, Dow Agrosciences (NYSE:DOW), BASF and Syngenta have contributed a combined amount of over $13 million in order to defeat the proposition.
Genetic modification involves adding genes to a plant's genetic framework in order to impart certain characteristics, such as improved resistance to pests. The World Health Organization, while evaluating the risks of GM foods, has stated that the products currently on the market have passed risk assessments and have no adverse effects on human health. Nonetheless, they also suggest the continued monitoring of such products. [1] The American Medical Association shares a similar views, as evidenced by a report recently released by the AMA's Council on Science and Public Health. It has opposed the labeling of bioengineered food products on grounds that the FDA's current science-based labeling policies are sufficient. [2]
The agricultural products industry has witnessed robust growth over the past few years, primarily due to the success of GM food products, which have received widespread acceptance in the US farming industry and are also gaining popularity in other countries. DuPont and Dow have relied heavily on their agricultural products divisions to drive revenue growth in recent years. Our outlook for the industry can be found here.

If the initiative is successful, consumers may interpret the labeling as warning signs and would be more apprehensive about purchasing such products. A decrease in the demand for these products may have detrimental effects on the industry, which is currently expected to grow at a rate of around 4.4% during our forecast period.
Furthermore, if foods are required to contain such labels, there would be costs involved in determining which ingredients qualify as "genetically modified". This would be a formidable task, considering that according to estimates, 40-70% of all foods sold in California contain genetically modified ingredients. These costs would either affect margins directly, or would be passed on along the supply chain to farmers and consumers. There would also be additional costs incurred by the state related to the regulation of the industry in accordance with the new law.
We currently have a Trefis price estimate of $57 for DuPont, which is about 12% above the market price.

Malaria is one of the most important infectious diseases in the world. Although most cases are found distributed in the tropical regions of Africa, Asia, Central and South Americas, there is in Europe a significant increase in the number of imported cases in non-endemic countries, in particular due to the higher mobility in today's society.
The prevalence of a possible asymptomatic infection with Plasmodium species was assessed using Nucleic Acid Sequence Based Amplification (NASBA) assays on clinical samples collected from 195 study cases with no clinical signs related to malaria and coming from sub-Saharan African regions to Southern Italy. In addition, base-line demographic, clinical and socio-economic information was collected from study participants who also underwent a full clinical examination.
Sixty-two study subjects (31.8%) were found positive for Plasmodium using a pan Plasmodium specific NASBA which can detect all four Plasmodium species causing human disease, based on the small subunit 18S rRNA gene (18S NASBA). Twenty-four samples (38%) of the 62 18S NASBA positive study cases were found positive with a Pfs25 mRNA NASBA, which is specific for the detection of gametocytes of Plasmodium falciparum. A statistically significant association was observed between 18S NASBA positivity and splenomegaly, hepatomegaly and leukopaenia and country of origin.
This study showed that a substantial proportion of people originating from malaria endemic countries harbor malaria parasites in their blood. If transmission conditions are available, they could potentially be a reservoir. Thefore, health authorities should pay special attention to the health of this potential risk group and aim to improve their health conditions.
Malaria is one of the most important infectious diseases in the world. The World Health Organization estimates that 300–500 million cases of malaria infections, with 1–3 million deaths globally occurring each year, of which 95% is caused by Plasmodium falciparum [1]. Although most cases are found in the tropical regions of Africa, Asia, Central, and South America, there is a significant increase in the number of imported cases in Europe, in particular due to the higher mobility of people in today's society [2]. Approximately 7,000 cases of imported malaria are recorded in Europe annually [3]. Due to the misleading symptoms related to initial malaria (i.e. fever and other flu-like symptoms), prompt diagnosis and treatment are of great importance. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that malaria should be considered in the differential diagnosis of febrile patients who have traveled to a region where malaria is endemic and in any patients who experience fevers of unknown origin regardless of their travel history [2].
The current standard for diagnosis is the microscopic examination of Giemsa-stained thick and thin blood smears [4–8]. This procedure is not expensive and in principle easy to perform, but becomes time-consuming in particular in cases of mixed infection or low parasitaemia and even with experienced microscopists examining the blood slides, misdiagnosis may occur [4, 8]. To aid malaria diagnosis, other techniques have been developed, such as immunochromatographic assays based on Plasmodium antigen detection, but some of these tests perform poorly in cases of low parasitemia [7, 9, 10] or, in contrast, lead to a false positive diagnosis of malaria due to the persistence of parasite antigen after adequate treatment [7, 11]. Molecular detection for Plasmodium with PCR has resulted in increased sensitivity and species discrimination compared to either microscopic or immunochromatographic diagnosis of malaria [12–18]. PCR based assays are sensitive and can be converted to a quantitative format, if SYBR green or molecular probes (e.g. a Taqman probe or a molecular beacon) are used in real time format [19, 20]. Alternatively, Nucleic Acid Sequence Based Amplification (NASBA) technology can be applied, which has as advantage above real-time PCR assays that it is fast to perform; i.e. 60 minutes for NASBA compared to up to four hours for real-time PCR [21, 22]. NASBA assays, using molecular beacons as detection probes, has been developed for different Plasmodium species and has shown to be very sensitive with a detection limit of 20 parasites/ml blood [22, 23].
In the present study, NASBA using primers based on pan species Plasmodium-specific small sub-unit ribosomal RNA gene sequences [24] was used to evaluate the prevalence of Plasmodium species in a population of migrants. Furthermore, a gametocyte specific NASBA based on the detection of the mRNA encoding for the P. falciparum gametocyte specific Pfs25 gene [25] was employed to detect mature sexual transmission stages in the same study population.
Patient enrolment, information and sample collection, microscopy
One hundred and ninety five blood samples were collected during the period April-September 2007 from study cases who were temporarily guests in a refugee camp managed by the Italian Red Cross, located in Borgo Mezzanone (province of Foggia, Italy). All guests were orally informed about the purpose of the study and invited to participate. Subsequent recruitment was on voluntary basis with no special inclusion criteria.
The study was reviewed and approved by the local Chief of the Red Cross and written informed consent was obtained from each study subject who was enrolled in the study. All study procedures were in agreement with the Helsinki Declaration (Edinburgh 2000). At enrolment, all study participants were interviewed using a questionnaire to obtain baseline demographic, clinical, and socioeconomic information and to assess their previous exposure to malaria. All enrolled subjects also received a full clinical examination and were treated accordingly.

Participants were allocated into three groups on basis of their reply to the questionnaire whether or not they had malaria in the past. Those people acknowledging one or more episodes of previous malaria in their country of origin were placed in group A: 58/195 (29.7%); subjects who said that they did not previously had malaria were placed in group B: 93/195 (47.7%); and individuals who could not remember a previous malaria infection were group C: 44/195 (22.6%).
EDTA-anticoagulated blood samples were labeled and temporarily stored for a maximum of 24 hours in a freezer bag before transportation to the laboratory, where the samples were stored a -80°C until processing for nucleic acids isolation. Thin and thick blood smears were prepared at the time of blood collection and stained with 10% Giemsa stain (pH 7.2).
Molecular analysis of blood samples
Nucleic acid extraction
Blood samples (100 μl) were mixed with 900 μl of guanidium isothiocyanate lysis buffer before DNA and RNA isolation [26]. Thirty μl of silica dioxide was added to each sample after thorough mixing of the extraction mixture. Subsequently, nucleic acids bound to silica were washed twice with wash buffer (10 M GuSCN, 100 mM Tris-HCL pH6.4), twice with 70% ethanol, and once with acetone. Next, nucleic acids were eluted from the silica with 100 μl water and stored at -20°C.
Pan-Plasmodium specific NASBA targeting 18S rRNA [GenBank accession number M19172.1] of Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium ovale was performed on an IQ5 Real-Time analyzer (Bio-RAD) [23]. Amplification reactions were performed using Nuclisens Basic Kit (bioMèrieux) following the manufacturer's manual at a KCl concentration of 80 mM. The reaction mixture (5 μl) including primers and molecular beacon was incubated with the RNA extract (2.5 μl) at 65°C for two minutes and subsequently at 41°C for two minutes. 2.5 μl of Nuclisens enzyme mixture (AMV-RT, RNase H and T7 RNA polymerase) was added and amplification allowed for 90 minutes at 41°C.
The forward primer was: 5' TCAGATACCGTCGTAATCTTA 3' (nucleotides1066 to 1086); the reverse primer was: 5'-AATTCTAATACGACTCACTATAGGGAGAAGGAACTTTCTCGCTTGCGCGAA-3' (T7 promoter sequence, linker and nucleotides 1216 to 1235); the Pf18S molecular beacon was: 5'-FAM- CGATCG-GAGAAATCAAAGTCTTTGGG-CGATCG-DABSYL-3' (molecular beacon stem of 6 paired nucleotides and nucleotides 1182 to 1201). Time to positivity (TTP), i.e. the time point during amplification at which the number of target amplicons detected became higher than the mean for two negative controls plus 20 standard deviations, was calculated. Standard ring stage parasite dilution series were used as positive controls. A sample containing only water and reactions mixture was used as negative control. The analysis of samples and appropriate positive and negative controls were performed in duplicate.
Pfs25 NASBA
18S rRNA NASBA positive samples were also analysed for gametocyte specific Pfs25 mRNA QT-NASBA [25]. Briefly, real-time QT-NASBA for Pfs25 mRNA [GenBank accession number AF193769.1] was performed on a NucliSens EasyQ analyzer (bioMèrieux) using the Nuclisens BasicKit for amplification according to the manufacturer's manual at a KCl concentration of 80 mM and the same conditions of Real-Time 18S QT_NASBA.
The forward primer was 5'-GACTGTAAATAAACCATGTGGAGA-3' (nucleotides 204 to 227); the reverse primer was 5'-AATTCTAATACGA CTCACTATAGGGAGAAGG-CATTTACCGTTACCACAAGTTA-3' (T7 promoter sequence, linker and nucleotides 338–359); the PfS25 molecular beacon was 5'-Texas-Red-CGATCG-CCCGTTTCATACGCTTGTAA-CGATCG-DABSYL-3' (molecular beacon stem of six paired nucleotides and nucleotides 259–278). Time to positivity was calculated, i.e. the time point during amplification at which the fluorescence detecting target amplicons exceeded the mean fluorescence of two negative controls plus 20 standard deviations. Standard gametocytes dilution series were used as positive controls. The samples and the positive controls were performed in duplicate.
Statistical analysis
In order to value the statistical association between history of malaria and signs and symptoms (i.e. splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, jaundice, urticaria, rales, leukopaenia, normocytic haemolytic anaemia, transaminase level) contingency double-entry tables were used and Odds Ratio and relative 95% Confidence Intervals and X2 value were calculated. A p value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
In order to evaluate the statistical association between 18S NASBA and the following variables: sex, regions of origin (West Africa, Central Africa, East Africa), previous episodes of clinical malaria as well as current clinical signs (i.e. splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, jaundice, urticaria, rales, leukopaenia, normocytic haemolytic anaemia, transaminase level) contingency double-entry tables were used and Odds Ratio and relative 95% Confidence Intervals and X2 value were calculated. The t-Student's method was employed for the comparative evaluation of quantitative variables (continuous variables- i.e: age). A p value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. In order to value the potential confounding effect of considered variables (sex, age, regions of origins, history of malaria, current clinical symptoms and signs) on 18S NASBA positivity logistic regression model was performed.
Clinical features
All examined study cases did not present at the time of examination or in the previous two months, the malaria paroxysm- characterized by high fever, chills and rigor. On physical examination 98/195 (50.2%) cases were found to have splenomegaly and tender hepatomegaly; 50/98 (51.0%) were in group A, 27/98 (27.6%) in group B and 21/98 (21.4%) in group C. Splenomegaly as well as hepatomegaly was significantly associated with group A (splenomegaly: OR 2.71, 95%CI = 1.36–5.48; χ2 = 9.53, p < 0.05; hepatomegaly: OR = 3.01, 95%CI = 1.16–7.76; χ2 = 6.8, p < 0.05). However, an inverse relationship was found between spenomegaly and group B (OR = 0.48, 95%CI = 0.26–0.89; χ2 = 6.28, p < 0.05).
Other physical findings that have been observed are: jaundice 25/195 (12.8%), scleral icterus 61/195 (31.3%), urticaria 37/195 (19.9%). Auscultation of the chest revealed scattered rales in about 25% of subjects. Cardiac examination was generally normal except for tachycardia in about 10% of patients.
Some abnormalities in routine laboratory tests were found in some study participants. Normocytic haemolytic anaemia presented in 61/195 (31.3%) of the cases; leukopaenia due to a decrease in granulocytes and lymphocytes was present in 96/195 (49.2%) and these cases also presented with eosinophilia in the presence of urticaria. Leukopaenia was significant associated with group A (OR = 2.19, 95%CI = 1.11–4.36; χ2 = 6.05, p < 0.05). Liver function tests revealed elevated transaminase levels in 32/195 (16.4%) of the cases and a mild to moderate increase in bilirubin (mostly indirect) in 86/195 (44.1%) of the study subjects; this variable resulted inversely associated with group C (OR 0.09, 95%CI = 0.002–50.56; χ2 = 8.28, p < 0.05).
Serological markers for HIV were found positive in 0.8% of the enrolled cases, for HIV/HBV in 0.4% of the study individuals, for HIV/HCV in 0.6% of the cases, for HBV in 9.7% of the subjects and for HCV in 1.1% of the cases. Luetic infection was present in 6.4% of examined study subjects.
In total, 62 study participants (31.7%) were found positive for the presence of Plasmodium nucleic acids as revealed with the applied NASBA technique. These cases were distributed as follows: 18/58 (31.0%) belong to Group A, 28/93 (30.1%) belong to Group B and 16/44 (36.4%) belong to Group C. The distribution according to country of origin is presented in Table 1.
Microscopy confirmed the positive NASBA results in 14 cases and these cases were distributed as follows: six belonged to Group A, six belonged to Group B and two belonged to Group C. Quantification of parasitaemia was not available.
Plasmodium falciparum was observed in 13 samples and one sample was identified as being P. ovale. Thirteen cases (21%) of this Plasmodium 18S rRNA positive population were also found positive with a Pfs25 mRNA NASBA, which is specific for the detection of gametocytes of P. falciparum. Four cases positive for gametocytes were confirmed by microscopy.
No significant association (p > 0.05) was found between 18S NASBA positivity and sex, age, history of malaria and region of origins.
A statistically significant association was found between 18S NASBA positivity and splenomegaly (χ2 = 89.97, p < 0.001), hepatomegaly (χ2 = 79.54, p < 0.001) and leukopenia (χ2 = 89.97, p < 0.001): in all subjects who were found positive with the 18S NASBA, splenomegaly, hepatomegaly and leukopaenia were reported. The relative OR values were not computable. No other signs and symptoms was associated with 18S NASBA positivity.
By logistic regression model, a significant association was found between 18S NASBA and country of origin (p < 0.05). In particular, a high probability to be positive at 18S NASBA was observed in people coming from West Africa (OR: 33.8; 95%CI: 1.1–1085.5), Central Africa (OR: 56.7; 95%CI: 1.2–2598.9) and East Africa (OR: 235.6; 95%CI: 3.9–14290.9). By using the same regression model, a significant inverse association was found between increased transaminase levels and 18S NASBA positivity (OR: 0.14; 95%CI: 0.03–0.64; p < 0.05) so that people with increased transaminase levels had a lower probability to be positive at 18S NASBA. By the model, no significant associations (p < 0.05) were found between 18S NASBA positivity and sex, age, history of malaria, other signs and symptoms (splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, jaundice, urticaria, rales, leukopaenia, normocytic haemolytic anaemia).
In many countries, the increase in imported malaria cases from different countries is due to the increasing number of people traveling to and from endemic areas, without taking appropriate prophylaxis or immigration from low income countries [27, 28]. In the case of returning non-immune travelers, malaria infection is often very obvious with severe disease and sometimes fatal outcome. In contrast, people from disease endemic countries may have acquired semi-immunity, resulting in less serious to none manifestations of disease, as was also shown in Spain [28], and recently also in Italy [29]. However, a proportion of this population may develop disease over time due to weaning immunity and/or contribute to possible transmission. In general, people originating from malaria endemic countries may have sub-microscopic levels of parasitaemia, but may feel not ill at all or present typical features of malaria. This is also reflected in the present study. Although many study participants could not recall having had malaria in the past, when being interviewed, there was no difference between the levels of infection between these participants and those who could recall an episode of malaria. In a substantial proportion of the examined population low levels of Plasmodium parasites were found with the applied NASBA technology. Furthermore, clinical examination revealed a statistically significant association between splenomegaly and 18S NASBA positivity. Malarial splenomegaly is believed to be a consequence of an immunological dysfunction due to recurrent episodes of malaria [30, 31]. It is generally considered that prolonged exposure to malarial parasites (5–10 years) is needed to develop splenomegaly, this response is based on a overproduction of polyclonal IgM antibodies, leading to accumulation of high molecular-weight immunocomplexes and complement consumption. Long-term purification of immunocomplexes induces progressive hyperplasia of the spleen [32, 33]. Patients usually present hypersplenism, and may have anaemia, leukopaenia, thrombopaenia and even haemolytic crises, depending on the severity [34]. A significant inverse association was found between increased transaminase levels and 18S NASBA positivity; i.e. people with increased transaminase levels had a lower probability to be positive at 18S NASBA. However, the high prevalence of patients with viral hepatitis infections observed in this study could also be the consequence of other diseases.
It was further noted in the present study that 21% of the Plasmodium 18S rRNA positive population was also found positive with a Pfs25 mRNA NASBA, which indicates that these cases harbour gametocytes and may thus contribute to possible malaria transmission, even if the number of gametocytes is very low.
In Italy, malaria was eradicated after a campaign launched in 1947 just at the end of World War II. The campaign was carried out by indoor treatment with DDT; houses, stables, shelters and all rural structures were treated into the mid-1950s and also later in some endemic regions, such as Sardinia. Due to the persistence of sporadic malaria cases in some areas [35, 36], the WHO declared Italy free of malaria only in 1970. In order to circumvent the potential reintroduction of malaria, a strict surveillance system was set up, which is still in place and governed by the Ministry of Health and the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS, Rome, Italy), following WHO guidelines [37].
Over the last two decades, with the exception of one autochthonous case registered in 1997 in a rural area of the province of Grosseto (Tuscany), which was followed by four more cases (i.e. a cryptic case by P. falciparum in 2003 [38], two cases due to organ transplantation in 2004 [39] and a transfusional case in 2005, all cases of malaria have been imported [40–42]). Until to 1999 the number of imported cases of malaria arose constantly, while from 2002 to 2006 a decrease between 1% and 7% per year has been registered [37] in both immigrant (-9%) and among Italian citizens(-28%). Most of the cases registered from 2002–2006 were among people from Africa (88.4%), and, in particular, from Nigeria (26%), Ghana (17%), Senegal (17%), Costa d'Ivoire (12%), and Burkina Faso (6.7%). Furthermore, additional cases were reported in 2000 [43] and in 2002 [44] in Chinese immigrants who traveled to Italy via Africa. Plasmodium falciparum was confirmed to be the most prevalent species imported in southern Europe [27, 28, 37]; in Italy, this species is responsible for 89% of the infection, P. vivax for 7.7%, P. ovale and P. malariae, 6% and 1.5%, respectively [29, 37]. In addition, mixed Plasmodium infections have also been reported in Italy, with 58% of all these cases reported from a single town, Verona [29].
The distribution and density of the three potential vectors of malaria in Italy (Anopheles labranchiae, Anopheles superpictus and Anopheles sacharovi) are also under strict surveillance by Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS). Anopheles labranchiae is present in several areas of Central and Southern Italy and in some regions (Tuscany, Calabria, Puglia, Sardinia and Sicily) high density have been registered [41]. The density of An. superpictus is lower and breeding sites are restricted to Calabria coasts and Sicily while although An. sacharovi has not registered since over 30 years, its presence in low density cannot be excluded in Apulia and northern Sardinia regions [37].
The combination of the presence of potential vectors and gametocyte carriers may pose a risk for re-introduction of malaria in the country. However, it should be noted that certain climatological and ecological prerequisites should probably be also met before the disease is really reintroduced [37].
This study showed that a substantial proportion of people originating from malaria endemic countries and not showing clinical signs of malaria harbor Plasmodium parasites in their blood (i.e. 32% of positivity to Plasmodium spp., 21% of population harboring P. falciparum gametocytes). If transmission prerequisites (e.g. vector, susceptible population and climatological conditions) prevail they could potential be a reservoir. Therefore, health authorities should pay special attention to the health of this potential risk group and aim to improve their health conditions.
The authors are grateful to Annamaria Sarcinelli and Giuliana Valleri (Red Cross, Foggia, Italy) for their kind collaboration. Furthermore, we would like to thank all the study participants for their willingness to participate in the present study.

SUBMITTED: Monday, March 11, 2013POSTED: Monday, March 11, 2013
Mr. Parrish T. Sheffield has admitted that his post is full of falsehoods. The following statement is part of a Consent Order and Motion For Contempt of a Permanent Protective Order against Parrish T. Sheffield adjudicated on February 5, 2013.
I, Parrish T. Sheffield, wish to retract the libelous and defamatory statements I posted on the internet about Ms. Vanita Michelle Smith and Dr. Steven Anderson.
I apologize for my actions and sincerely regret what I have done.
I knowingly posted libelous and defamatory statements about these two individuals in an attempt to viciously harm them and their good reputations.
The following is a correct account of the facts:
Vanita Michelle Smith started working for Dr. Anderson in March 2010.
She and I were married at that time, but our marriage was failing.
She moved out of our marital residence for the third and final time in October 2010.
Dr. Anderson and Vanita did not start dating until December 2010 and had no romantic relationship before this time, nor did Dr. Anderson flirt with Vanita or hit on her before they were both legally separated and completely resolved to divorce their respective spouses.
During 2010, Dr. Anderson was in the process of leaving the Mormon Church and separating from his wife for reasons that had nothing to do with Vanita.
Dr. Anderson and is wife finally resolved to divorce in November 2010.
Dr. Andersons divorce decree specifically listed his wifes behavior as a precipitating factor in the cause of the divorce and did not list adultery as a precipitating factor.
In March 2011, I was arrested and served 29 days in jail for violating an ongoing Stalking Ex Parte Temporary Protective Order previously in place to protect Vanita from my tendencies and behavior.
A Permanent Protective Order was set in place in May 8, 2012.
I since violated the Permanent Protective Order and entered a consent agreement on October 9, 2012.
Vanita has been married before, but Dr. Anderson will not be her eighth husband.
I was never a dental patient of Dr. Anderson and I am unqualified to judge his professional abilities.

PARIS -- The tennis fans who come to watch the French Open are a passionate group. The cheering sections tend to break down by national lines -- with the majority of fans being French -- and they go wild for their home country players. There have also been smaller rowdier groups cheering for Belgian, German and Spanish players. Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal seem to come with their own cheering squads, ones that cross all ethnic, language and gender barriers. There are a few Americans here and there, but they're not too loud.
I've heard some awesome soccer chants between points, things you definitely don't hear at the U.S. Open. The best one came from the Belgians, who were singing the base line from "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes. Not sure what that has to do with tennis, but the song is popular at soccer games here -- just like it's taken off in college football.
The fans have to queue up outside the courts to take their seats during changeovers. But people are impatient, and the creative ones still try to sneak a peek at tennis. I've seen some pretty dangerous moves, like fans standing on wobbly chairs on uneven ground, or some trying to partially climb the fences that frame the court. I haven't seen anybody get hurt -- yet -- but there have been some close calls.

Deformed bird?
AUTHOR: catt - ()
SUBMITTED: Sunday, December 15, 2013POSTED: Sunday, December 15, 2013
Wouldnt you notice if your bird was deformed? And this bird may not have died from something that YOU did wrong? I know Maria and she would never do an animal or a person harm, nor does she curse at people.
I have 3 lovebirds and Maria has consoled me from day 1 with them. I have had them for 2 years and they are very healthy and well. She has advised me on a good diet, egg laying, sexing, exercise, wing clipping, dna, you name it she was there. These allegations are not true.She does NOT sell sick or deformed birds. Certainly you shoud have KNOWN and SEEN if a bird was deformed. And you didnt? Sure.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

VATICAN CITY -- The Vatican will continue its process against a Canadian bishop who pleaded guilty in a civil court to possession of child pornography, the Vatican spokesman said.
Bishop Raymond Lahey of Antigonish, Nova Scotia, pleaded May 4 to the charge of possession "for the purposes of importation child pornography in the form of graphic computer images." However, he told the judge he was not guilty of possession with the intent to distribute.
His plea was in response to his arrest at the Ottawa, Ontario, airport Sept. 15, 2009. Court documents had stated that the bishop's evasive behavior, coupled with a passport stamped with exotic locations known for child pornography, prompted a Canadian Border Services agent to examine the contents of his laptop.
Jesuit Father Frederico Lombardi, Vatican spokesman, issued a statement May 4 saying, "The Catholic Church condemns sexual exploitation in all its forms, especially when perpetrated against minors."

I've installed the multisite with the subdirectories option everything works ok but in the main navigation menu where the static home page link is listed it shows me two links/buttons although in html source code it's only one link.
first site: http://www.mysite.com/
second site: http://www.mysite.com/uae/
On both subsites in the main menu I get the home link to the second subsite and that is pretty annoying since I use sprite images for styling the menu.
How can I get rid of the link to the second subsite?

Started a new thread for this issue which christianebuddy was having in another unrelated thread.
The issue is one in which the "Invite Friends" link fails if you are forcing https.
The symptom is this error:
Error while loading page from <app name>
Empty response received.
When trying to load the invite friends link in https mode.
I *think* based on this Facebook developers blog post it might be related to SSL certificate issues.
So, anyone here using WPBook with SSL mode and have Invite Friends working even with forced https on?
I don't currently have a test blog with HTTPS to test it on so I'm looking for others . . .

Monarch Landing Model Train Club-Full Steam Ahead
Aug 15, 2016 4:55 PM - A group of Monarch Landing residents have quite a bit in common with rock legend Rod Stewart. Much like the music icon, these gentlemen have a passion for models...Model railroads that is. A long-time model train enthusiast, Rod Stewart has boasted about the 110-foot long train set in his Beverly Hills mansion. This only slightly exceeds the length of the model train track belonging to the DuPage Western Model Railroad (DWMRR) Club at Monarch Landing. The DWMRR Club, which is completely resident-run, permits men (women are also welcome) to continue their lifelong love of trains. Monarch Landing gave the club what is affectionately called the "hall to nowhere" for their exclusive use. The 100-foot long corridor was originally slated to connect an addition to a building that was ultimately never constructed. "When they told us we could have this space, we quickly constructed bench work all the way down to the end of the room so that they couldn't change their minds, or give any of the space to someone else," said Charles (Chuck) Saville, one of the founders of the train club. To date, the first 14-foot section of the track is complete, including among other features, a waterfall, landscaping and a working roundhouse.

Mississippi's two U.S. senators have introduced legislation to extend a tax incentive designed to spur rebuilding efforts after Hurricane Katrina.
The bill introduced by Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker, both Republicans, would extend the Gulf Opportunity Zone bonus depreciation tax incentive through Dec. 31, 2011. Those benefits are set to expire Dec. 31.
In a news release, Wicker, who authored the bill, said Louisiana senators, Mary Landrieu, a Democrat, and David Vitter, a Republican, have signed on as original co-sponsors of the measure.
The GO Zone Act of 2005 created a tax incentive equal to 50 percent of the cost of qualified property for the taxable year in which it was placed in service.
Cochran said the extension is needed to continue the progress.

A Hope in the time of Drought
Mann Deshi Cattle Camp
Though it is September, but still there is no rain and in future less hopes of rain this year. Mann Taluka is witnessing unprecedented drought. On account of the non availability of fodder and water, the number of Animals dead and sold cheaply to butcher was recorded to be around 25000. The taluka is facing an acute drought situation in more than 185 villages. Since last 22 months there is no rain. Today, people are migrating from Mann Taluka, not in search of employment but in search of drinking water. In such a situation it is crucially needed to provide water to households by tankers and to arrange fodder and water in cattle camps in the areas.
In order to help, Mann Deshi also felt the responsibility to serve the local community and started a Cattle camp - providing water and fodder to animals - in the Mhaswad village on 21st April, 2012. Currently the Mann Deshi Foundation cattle camp supports +12,000 animals from 52 villages. Mann Deshi provides 400,000 liter water per day and pays around 10,00,000 RS daily for fodder, cattle feed and water etc. This is the BIGGEST CATTLE CAMP in india.
Mann Taluka is facing acute drinking water problem. Everyday water required for Mann Deshi Cattle Camp is 4.50 lacs of liter. I hereby appeals to you to contribute generously for the drought cause faced currently by the Mann taluka in Satara District.
Mann Deshi runs rural women's bank and B-school for rural women. For more information about Mann Deshi Foundation please visit: www.manndeshifoundation.org
I would like to share with you some recent you tube links of Mann Deshi Cattle Camp.
Recent Articles:
Thank you in advance for your time. The Mann Deshi Foundation asks you sincerely to support generously and help community in this severe situation. Your support will give relief to drought affected people in Mann taluka.

Ground broken on site of village's new shop and Post Office
Published by jessica.britton for Merlin Housing Society in Communities and also in Housing
Stakeholders visit the site
2014 is going to be a big year for Cromhall, when it welcomes it new permanent village shop and Post Office.
The project to build the new Post Office and three much-needed affordable homes, is a partnership between South Gloucestershire Council and Merlin Housing Society. Work is already underway and guests from the council, Merlin, the village shop and the parish council visited the site recently to see its progress.
Chair of Merlin's Board Andrew Frayling said: "The Post Office and village shop is the heart of the Cromhall community. We're delighted we've been able to work in partnership with South Gloucestershire Council to finally give it a permanent home, and offer affordable housing in this rural community."
Cllr John O'Neill, whose Charfield ward includes Cromhall added:: "This development being delivered by Merlin in partnership with South Gloucestershire Council will bring much needed affordable housing to Cromhall.
"The residents are excited at the prospect of having a permanent Post Office and store after almost twenty years. This will be the only retail outlet in the village and is eagerly awaited by the community."
Chair of South Gloucestershire Council's Adults and Housing Committee Cllr Matthew Riddle said: "I'm pleased to see the start of this hugely exciting development for Cromhall.
"Local post offices and shops can be a vital focus for rural community life and I am sure that these new permanent facilities will serve their community well.
"I am also pleased that the development will include new affordable homes for the village. There is enormous demand for affordable housing in our rural areas and the council is committed to working with organisations such as Merlin to help meet this demand."
Patrick Martin, chairman of the village shop, said: "Everyone is very positive in the village and looking forward to the new shop opening this year. It's been a temporary home for 17 years. I think knowing that we are going to be moving into a purpose built shop and Post Office means our future is assured.
"We're a non-profit organisation run by the community for the benefit of the community. We have more than 30 volunteers who help run the shop, and they give up an awful lot of time to help out, which shows how strong the community spirit in the village is."
Merlin's Development Officer Shane Smith said: "It's great to be underway and to know that in a few months time this popular village Post Office and shop will have a permanent home. This is our first rural development and will also be the first affordable homes built in the village for many years."
The building work is taking place on the site that the village shop and post office used to occupy in their portakabin. The shop has moved to a temporary site while the building work is taking place. South Gloucestershire Council's contribution to the scheme will include the land, as well as £100,000 of capital funding towards building costs for the new Post Office.
The new homes will include a one-bedroom flat above the new Post Office plus two two-bedroom houses, built to a high quality, energy efficient design that will benefit tenants by providing lower running costs.
The affordable housing will be built and operated by Merlin, which is the largest housing association in South Gloucestershire.

HI Guys,
A great plugin that I use lots but in this case I need it to pull the thumbs from Amazon, this is causing a problem. The error is...
You may not fetch images from that site. To enable this site in timthumb, you can either add it to $ALLOWED_SITES and set ALLOW_EXTERNAL=true. Or you can set ALLOW_ALL_EXTERNAL_SITES=true, depending on your security needs.
But where would I set

Businesses everywhere are jumping on the social media bandwagon.
Building Facebook pages, Twitter profiles and setting up linked in accounts.
But many find it an overwhelming sea of information and don't know where to start.
In this 11 Cares for Business Special Report Leigh Ashman introduces you to a woman whose book to help make sense of it all.
Jennifer Kettlewell: mother of four, getting her masters, runs a business.
And she wrote a book on navigating the sea of social networking."
"Primarily, it's about getting businesses hooked into technology.
Getting them hooked into the blogging, the social media, some of the things that a lot of businesses find scary," she says.
She's the leader of a group called moxie mafia.
Women who gather to help each other put social networking to work for their small businesses.
Andrea Haitz, a member of the Moxie Mafia, says, "Jen has showed me how to take the social media and use it in a small amount of time but make it work the best."
Jen also teaches seminars.
They start small with setting up profiles, finding the right platform, getting comfortable & answering questions.
Edith Johnston, who attended the Moxie Mafia seminar says, "Exploring it has been a challenge.
Making sure I knew the language and then learning exactly how to set it up properly.
Jennifer's new book talks about why inexpensive social networking is now so important, how it can help any business and dispels a few myths.
Jennifer says, "There's a lot of tools out there that can help you take that overwhelm out of social media and actually make it approachable."
Her clients say it doesn't matter what business they're in, a few minutes online each day doing social networking has helped them grow.
Edith says, "Social networking in the old fashioned way took hours and Jennifer is saying we can do it in 15 minutes a day."
Jen understands juggling a home life and work, the main reason she says most of her clients are women.
But she'll help anyone figure it out.
"For those that don't understand it, it's really about taking your neighborhood and putting it online," Jennifer says.
"That's all it is. The businesses just need to take the first step. There are people here that will help them."
Social media gives customers 24/7 access to your biz.
Jen says that's important, but it's more important to have fun with your social media.
"Social media is about having fun. And if you don't have fun, it comes through and the customers see it," Jen says.
The fix? Find the right site for you.
There are hundreds, some are industry–specific.
Jen says the most important thing is to get out there "I show them that if they're connecting with the right people they're gonna get a whole different message and they're gonna understand that it's ok to talk business," Jen says.
Learn more about Jen and the moxie mafia on our Web site at www.nbc11news.com. In Grand Junction, Leigh Ashman, KKCO NBC 11 News.
Jen and the Moxie Mafia are helping local businesses connect on Twitter.

RE: Harry Streck
Hi Cory, You should call the Lutheran Cemetery office and speak with them directly to see if you can get more information. Since you did not supply an actual plot location, the person I talked to only had limited time to pull information from a filing cabinet. There are other sources that they have there and they may be able to spend some more time digging through their records to find the actual location. Once you have that ( and posted to the memorial), then it will be easier for someone to take the picture for you.
I have come across this before where the office staff is rushed and may overlook some data.
Hope you are able to uncover more information.

Not having any luck - Her name does not appear on the stone and she's not to either side of him, nor is there any listing at the cemetery. I've added Robert's interment record. If you would add her obituary I will stop at the office and see if I can find out why her name isn't on the stone. Thanks.

I picked up this system from the Baldwin park location to ensure no shipping damage would occur, but low and behold i got this POS home and it blue screened (bricked). Now going through 48 hours of quality control this should have never happened. Needless to say i was very angry.
I called Cyberpower and told them about the issue, where i was greeted by nothing but blatant disregard and a dissmissive attitude. Seems as though once they get your money you dont matter anymore. After experiencing this horrible customer service, i chose to just get a full refund. I brought it back 4/18/11 where i stood thier and did the inventory of the system to make sure everything was there, and asked the recieving party how long for a refund. He stated 7-10 business days from the day the recieved it (4-18-11)
Here i am 4/28/11 and am still waiting. Now this isnt a cause for concern, but i called this morning and was informed they needed another week to process my refund??? What happened is they dragged thier feet on the recieving end and didnt process my return until 3-4 days later. So not only did they send me a broken POS, they have the most god awful customer service known to man, and they like to take thier time processing refunds.
This company is a disorganized rag tag bunch of inept individuals with absolutely no sense of business ethics. They lie, cheat, and steal with a smile on thier face. From reading the other complaints on various websites i see that this is a common practice with Cyberpower and hope they reap the whirlwind very very soon. Shotty craftsmanship, HORRIBLE customer service, and an overall bad attitude.

Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Mr. Santoni has notified the AFT, The Postal system, the Attorney General of Ct, Consumer Protection of Ct.and any other place to destroy me. Do you want to deal with someone like this??? He has started a campaign to trash me. Don't have any buying or selling dealings with a threatening ranting person like Mr. Santoni, his emails indicate that he could be violent.
I have been in contact with Mr. Santoni until recently. When he refused to accept a full refund, plus shipping both ways. He insisted that a refund be sent with a call tag.
I agreed if he printed a statement that the issue was resolved favorably. He has refused. Why have I waited two weeks to take the bashing? I wanted to see where the chips have fallen! I have admitted that the gun was typed in wrong "a 7600 typed as a 760". In my ATF book it's a 7600. I have changed my return policy. If I am wrong on a description the buyer will get refunded shipping both ways. It takes a big man to admit mistakes, and a bigger man to fix them right!
Now back to Mr. Santoni, my offer to return remains open for the month of January,but he must still, rescind his foul campaign to bash me. If not, then it is evident that this is not about justice or fairness in the market place , but about Mr Santoni beating his chest like an ape to draw attention to his being "victimized" by the "big bad dealer".
Here is his threating email sent to me after I went pulic that he insisited the I give him $100 to keep the gun. Notice that he didn't sign his name ,however would you sign your name to such trash?
Hey John, why don't you go *&*& yourself and your worthless pile of **&* business too. You are a *&*& crook of the lowest order, and I hope that everyone finds out about you.
You clearly tried to deceive me, by stating that it was a 760 with no scope mount holes. Everyone knows that the early 760's were not drilled and tapped, and are more valuable. You knew you had a piece of *&*& rifle, and intentionally screwed me.
You are a *&*& piece of *&*, scum sucking maggot.
Have fun the Postal Inspector as well. I am going to file a Mail Fraud complaint first thing in the morning, since you gladly accepted and chased the USPS Money Order.Rot in hell, you *&*& *&*&.
Mr. Santoni doesn't live in a small town where there are only a few postal workers and when one is absent the mail piles up without a replacement to help out. When a priority mail letter is scanned , it means it's in the building only. I may not get the notification in my post office box for two to five days after it has arrived! I guess that doesn't happen in Mr. Santoni's "perfect world".
I have learned several thing for this scat room "The Sniper's Hide" If you go there be prepared for gross profanity, guess that's why Mr. Santoni chose that site to Bash me!: 1. That these All-American Gas-Bags that condemn and pass judgement without waiting to hear the whole story aren't very American in my book. I grew up believing that you were presumed innocent until proven guilty.
2. This site has very increminating exposure for some people. Like Mr. Whoopee Mullins, who admits to being involved in a straw purchase of a handgun, then threatens someone on a public web site.Will someone discretely please tell Mr Whooppee that a "staw purchase" is not buying a gun from underneath a haystack
3. That some people will never be happy as they haven't resolved their serious issues, like dominating , bashing,intimidating extorting, and threatening other people.Any wish to sell a gun to Mr Santoni? Maybe you'd like to live next door to him, your kids could learn some new words!
In the holiday spirit to prove I am not vindictive, spitefull or mean spirited. My offer is still open to Mr. Santoni on the return,until the end of January.
I'll assume that Mr. Mullins' of the Snipers Hide"complaint forum purchased a hand gun for someone else and it was not intentional.And not a Strw purchase, The rest of you have a very Happy Holiday and the Best of a New Year. Any one mentioning this site gets a 10% discount on any firearm up to $600, and over $600 a 15% discount. This doesnot include sales pending, or layways already on the books. Please don't email me asking for name of former satisfied customers to prove I'm not a "scum bag".
Don't be an *&* , all my transcations are confidential. I sell to government officials, police men, firemen, teachers, truck drivers, and military personnel, and plain folks.There you have it, anyone want to comment directly to me you are welcome.Have a Happy Holiday . Steer clear of Ranting, Foul Mouthed gun dealers from Woodland California.

I watched this talk when it was screened at the TEDxDhaka event last year. I was with a friend, and when this talk ended, we both had goosebumps! In short, this talk will introduce you, in the most poignant of ways, to the plight of many girls and women around the world. After watching this, I believe you, just like my friend and myself, will be re-energized to do more for the welfare of women.
As for Eve Ensler, I am certain a lot of you have heard about her. She is famous for her play "The Vagina Monologues." I look up to her as my role-model because of her activism, eloquence, and humility. It would be a dream to meet her and maybe to receive direct, one-on-one mentorship from her. I believe a lot of you will share the same dream after listening to her in this talk.

I purchased the first series of Welcome Back, Kotter from Amazon for my husband for Christmas. When he watched all those episodes within a few days, I thought, "I should buy the whole series for him since he likes them so well." When I went back to Amazon, I was redirected to the Ultimate DVD Series website. They had all 4 seasons on "sale" so I went ahead and ordered it.
I should've known I was going to get ripped off! The price was way too low for all 4 seasons and I should've checked the company before I ordered. I didn't think too much about it until several weeks had gone by and no DVD's. I checked my online banking credit card statement and sure enough, I'd been charged for the product! That's when I googled "Ultimate DVD Series" and found out they were a scam company and that other people had experienced the same thing.
I contacted my bank this morning to get my money back and we'll see if the crappy dvd's ever show up from China!

A beautiful day for us today as temperatures have climbed into the upper 60s with plenty of sunshine. Clouds will keep thickening up through the evening and overnight as our next area of low pressure looks to arrive tomorrow morning.
As the cold front arrives, we will see a few showers and maybe a thunderstorm. This system is a quick mover and looks to clear our skies our by sunset tomorrow. Once this system passes, some colder air will return for a day or two before we rebound back towards 70. High pressure will build in at the surface and aloft and keep skies clear for the middle of the week. Outside of some cold mornings, highs will be seasonal and comfortable.
This weekend will be a nice and warm one as warmer air returns from the south, pushing temperatures into the 70s area-wide. Rain does look to return on Monday with our next rain maker, but not before a beautiful and seasonably warm weekend.

The Denver Broncos' miscalculation on Pro Bowl flanker Brandon Lloyd left them short-handed Sunday, when they had to line up Tim Tebow as a slot receiver.
They went into their game against Cincinnati with just three wide receivers because they were counting on Lloyd's availability.
Football executive John Elway said on his radio show Monday that the Broncos chose to promote a running back from their practice squad Saturday rather than a wide receiver because Lloyd had practiced Friday for the first time since getting hurt in the opener and seemed OK.
He wasn't by Sunday morning, and when Eddie Royal (groin) was hurt, they were down to two receivers: Eric Decker, making his first career start, and Matt Willis, who has just one start in his four NFL seasons.

Single crochet bind off
I just saw Amy's video for the single crochet bind off, but I still have a question.
Does this bind off mimic long tail cast on? It's hard to see from the video if it's similar in appearance to long tail cast on.
i am not terribly familiar with this technique, but in watching the video a few times, it looks to me that this is exactly the same as a regular knit bind off only using a crochet hook for ease. if you watch the way the yarn goes through the stitch and then the way it's pulled through the one on the right needle, to me it seems the same exact motion as if you were knitting and passing.
i do know that the crochet cast-on matches a knit bind-off, though.
It would look pretty much like a regular bind off. If I have a long stretch to BO, I knit the last row on a larger needle (much larger) and starting at the beginning of the row I just finished knitting (the yarn is at the other end) pull the second loop through the first and so on, across the row. They're all essentially the same placement of the stitches.
Using a crochet hook as your rh needle means that you don't have to use lh needle to pick up each stitch and drop it off, I think this makes for a more even edge as the other way can create distortion, but I am a tight knitter. I've heard of another cast off where you pull each stitch through the next starting on the end opposite to the tail, but I imagine this one is quite tight or at least not stretchy. Good though if you don't have enough wool left to do a standard cast off row.

The New York Times:
The Times is spending too much time studying the government's new language purge guidelines.
In Willful Blindness: A Memoir of the [INSENSITIVE TERM DELETED], and in this white paper for the upcoming Bradley symposium, I note Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman's explanation that jihad is "the peak of a full [embrace] of Islam…. There is no work that equals" it. Contrary to our government's assiduous efforts to ignore the evidence of sense and deny that terrorists are representative of any legitimate interpretation of Islam, Abdel Rahman (aka "the blind sheikh") is a doctor of Islamic jurisprudence graduated from al-Azhar University in Egypt, the seat of Sunni learning. Why we should think the Department of Homeland Security knows more about Islam than he does, I do not know. In any event, he has recounted that since the concept was developed over a millennium ago, jihad has unambiguously and unapologetically called for the aggressive application of brute force against oppressors and infidels. It "means fighting the enemies," he said, no good works or internal betterment. Nor, he instructed, can it be accomplished such everyday practices as prayer, mosque attendance, alms giving, or living a virtuous life. At such suggestions, he scoffed:
He is unquestionably right about this. The effort to portray jihad as a peaceful, virtuous, internal striving to become a better person by good works is no doubt motivated by the best of intentions when engaged by our bureaucrats. But it's important to understand that it is a revisionist project — and it is thus doomed to fail given the premium liberals have taught us we must place on authenticity. When it comes to jihad, it's the crazies who are authentic and the well-meaning reformers who are dancing on the head of a pin.As I recount in the book and the essay, the West's pre-eminent scholar of Islam, Princeton's Bernard Lewis, has explained:
In fact, the erudite former Muslim of the nom de plume Ibn Warraq points out that even
It is no wonder that this should be so. The Qur'an repeatedly enjoins Muslims to fight and slay non-Muslims. "O ye who believe," commands Sura 9:123, "Fight those of the disbelievers who are near you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty unto him." It is difficult to spin that as a call to spiritual self-improvement. As it is, to take another example, with Sura 9:5: "But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the pagans wherever ye find them. And seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war)," relenting only if they have accepted Islam. The hadith, lengthy volumes recording the words and traditions of the prophet, are even more explicit, as in Mohammed's teaching that "[a] single endeavor (of fighting) in Allah's cause in the afternoon or in the forenoon is better than all the world and whatever is in it."
We can kid ourselves that this is not so. But recognize, then, that we are kidding ourselves.

I wonder:
Does the "indexation" page deal with robots.txt or with meta robots in header of pages?
- I already have a robots.txt (I can edit through the plugin too) and it does not seem to be affected by options set in indexation. Because that would work only if I have none? But then, why should you allow me to edit it then?
(I feel the options provided in indexation are good, but there should be a space for custom rules too)
If the rules set in "indexation" write in the header robots meta tags, fine... but searching about it, I only found this post
saying that it actaully does not work wothout a fix somewhere.
So ... I wonder!
Thanks a lot for the great job pushed to everyone

The worst experience ever. I've had trouble ordering flowers before from other places, but it was always things like the wrong delivery date or the wrong color roses. We ordered something called the "Rose and Carnation Mixed Bouquet" which had a description stating "The Rose and Carnation Mixed Bouquet is warm, rich colors of pink and orange contrasted with fresh green in an arrangement of flowers welcoming for any occasion. The Rose and Carnation Mixed Bouquet provides this joy for a birthday or just saying hi to someone special." Now, what was actually received was a small bunch of pink and red spray roses with a tiny little bit of baby's breath...Once the issue was realized we tried the "Virtual Ava" on their website to report the issue...no response. We tried the e-mail that was in the receipt, also no response. Tonight we called and spent over a half an hour with no resolution or satisfaction other than the offer to refund the $13 or so that was spent on "shipping." What a joke.
