Review: Killzone - OMG, is that the Jin-Roh? Oh, nope. Just Helghast.Sep 21, 2008
In a nutshell, Killzone is a balls-to-the-wall FPS game. Ironically, it has a bad FPS. Killzone may not be raising the standard very high, but it definitely needs some work. Although Guerilla games have been paid a hefty sum to make this game, it...

Like Crazy
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this is a beautiful love story about two twentysomethings who meet in college but soon have to navigate a relationship separated by oceans and diverging life paths. Couples are shown (bare shoulders, kissing) and heard (some moans) in intimate moments, but there's no graphic nudity; the movie seems more interested in the feelings between the lovers: how they grow, confuse, distance. There's also some swearing (including "s--t" and "f--k") and mature themes (infidelity and some tricky immigration muck-ups, for instance), as well as a fair amount of social drinking. Characters do discuss cutting back on alcohol, and there's a talk about safe sex.

What's the story?
A close-up look at first love, LIKE CRAZY follows a young couple -- British student Anna (Felicity Jones) and Jacob (Anton Yelchin), her American teaching assistant -- who fall madly for each other the year before they graduate from college in Los Angeles. Unable to tear herself away from him, Anna decides to stay after her visa runs out before finally going home to England for the rest of the summer. But when she eventually tries to come back to the States, she's refused at the border, throwing them into a long-distance relationship that's much more difficult to sustain and maintain. To add to the complications, her journalism career has begun auspiciously in London, and his fledgling L.A. furniture business is poised to take off. And there are other distractions. But they can't stay happily apart, either.
Is it any good?
If you feel like you've intruded into someone else's relationship while watching this Sundance sensation, you're not alone; it's that intimate, that true. Director-writer Drake Doremus and his writing partner shared extensive outlines with the actors but allowed them to improvise their own dialogue through an intense rehearsal period, lending the entire enterprise surprising authenticity -- and deeper heartbreak. Thanks to Jones and Yelchin's prodigious talents, it really does feel like watching two people fall in love -- and, given the hindrances that viewers are made acutely aware of from the onset, we ache knowing they're choosing a very cobbled, potentially treacherous path.
What LIKE CRAZY does very well is capture the feeling of your first grown-up romance: how full of possibility it seems, as well as the impossibility of it. And how we plunge in headlong anyway, because what other choices do we really have? The impulsivity of youth has consequences here, but they don't feel forced or affected. You may question the motivations of some of Anna's and Jacob's decisions -- a plot point revolving around how they conduct themselves when they're away from each other is particularly confusing -- but we don't question the characters themselves. For a movie like this to work, that's supremely important. We root for them despite our hard-won wisdom. Isn't that the way it is with a love like this?
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about Anna's and Jacob's relationship. Is it a healthy one? How does it change over the course of a movie? Parents, talk to your teens about your own values when it comes to sex and relationships.
How does the movie depict sex? What about drinking? Are there realistic consequences for both?

Ranking the NBA's top 20 stars heading into 2013 is a little like organizing the Forbes list of the world's richest people into tiers—some guys have it better than others, but really, everyone's doing pretty darn well.
LeBron James and Kevin Durant are duking it out in the best MVP race in years, and plenty of other stars have climbed a few rungs in the ladder. Life is good among the NBA elite, but who's got it the best?
To make our list, guys naturally have to put up impressive raw statistical figures, but because plain old scoring averages can be misleading, we're going to pay extra attention to the context in which these guys are accumulating their numbers. Put another way, if a guy is throwing up empty stats for a bad team simply because somebody has to score, we'll frown on it.
Sorry, Kyrie Irving. Wins matter.
Oh, and before we get started, it's worth mentioning that injured players aren't ranked. So if you were hoping to find Andrew Bynum, Derrick Rose or the recently returned Steve Nash, you'll be disappointed.
2012 is in the books, and we've ranked the top 20 NBA stars (plus some honorable mentions) heading into the new year. Please enjoy.
All stats are accurate through games played Dec. 30, 2012.

ROBINSONVILLE, Miss. -- Cell phone-based technology is saving Stan Jones dollars, miles and, importantly, a lot of hours he'd otherwise be spending during the growing season checking on irrigation pumps.
The Walnut Ridge, Ark., producer who had 5,000 acres of rice and 2,000 acres of soybeans last year, 100 percent irrigated, uses 40 pumping units to water all those fields. Additionally, he has five 10,000-gallon per minute relift systems moving river water to several large fields, including one that's 700 acres.
"I was spending three and a half hours each day just driving around to check on pump motors," he said at the ninth annual Conservation Systems Cotton and Rice Conference at Robinsonville, Miss. "Sometimes I'd make three trips a day. That's a lot of miles."
Last year, he installed electronic monitoring systems on two pumping units "at a very remote distance from my house." The units, from Izon Agricultural Marketing Systems, Paragould, Ark., constantly monitor the engine and water flow. If the engine shuts down for any reason, an immediate text message is sent to Jones' cell phone (the notification can also go to a pager or computer).
"It works so well," he laughs, "that last year, while I was attending a Cardinals baseball game in St. Louis, I got a message on my cell phone that a pump was down. I phoned home from the stadium and within two hours a broken fan belt had been replaced and the pump was running again.
"It's like having someone standing by that pump 24 hours a day and letting me know the minute something goes wrong," says Jones, who was so impressed with the systems' performance that he plans to install them on every pump this season.
"It's important to me to know what a pump's doing. If it shuts down for any reason, I need to know it right now."
In addition to advising of shutdowns, a sensor that notifies when fuel is low can be added to the system.
"I don't want an engine shutting down because it's out of fuel. When the fuel level gets to 100 gallons, the sensor sends a 'low fuel' text message, along with the location of the well. I know I've got 30 hours to get more fuel in that tank and keep the pump from shutting down."
Jones says the units can be configured to periodically report that pumps are operating normally, "but mine is set up so I only get a message when something happens."
In addition to reducing the number of trips to check on pumps, Jones says, the system helps him to make more rapid repairs and reduce downtime, which lessens problems that occur from losing a head of water and then getting the field covered again.
The system can also shut down pumps remotely — and with electric motors, can also turn them on. But Jones doesn't use the feature on his turbocharged diesel engines because "it's hard on them when they shut down."
Using the Internal Revenue Service mileage allowance, he figures he saved $3,156 in travel miles alone last season, "so I almost got back all the money I spent on the systems."
But even more valuable to him was the time saved.
"I do my own spraying, and I figure the hours I saved by not making all those trips allowed me to spend time on the sprayer that was worth $84,000."
The monitoring systems are "a great management tool that has helped my production and saved me a lot of miles, hours, headaches, and money.
"I've always been open to new ideas and new technology, but there's so much technology available today it's sometimes hard to decide on something that is worthwhile. But after one year of operation with this system, I know what it can do and I have confidence in it. It's pretty awesome."
Jones, who's been farming for 32 years, was one of the first producers in his area to adopt no-till for rice. "I've been doing it for 20 years now, and it has brought significant reductions in production costs. Land in our area can make 200-bushel rice, but I don't know a farmer who made money last year, and I could probably count on one hand all those who managed to break even."

Wonders of Science YouTube total is now 2!
So here's the video we made for our song The Big Picture. It's hard to make stuff out and the star of the video is some guy we barely met. The director had this grand vision. Can you guess it was made in the 1980s? Many are the visual and audio clues, including the Dres-babies when they were actually babies.

Gary Busey filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection on Tuesday in California, and his lawyer says the actor needs a fresh start, just like General Motors.
Some might wonder why Gary Busey is broke after being featured in dozens of films including "Lethal Weapon" alongside Mel Gibson and Danny Glover and "Predator 2," is known now for his eccentric mannerisms and television appearances.
The actor, 67, filed for bankruptcy and indicated he has less than $50,000 in assets, TMZ reported, and between $500,000 and $1 million in various debts.
Among the creditors owed money by Busey are the IRS, various lawyers, UCLA Medical Center, Wells Fargo, and L.A. County Waterworks Districts.
Busey suffered a brain injury after a motorcycle accident in December 1988.
TMZ reports Busey may also be in debt to a woman named Carla Loeffler, who sued Busey for allegedly attacking her at a Tulsa airport back in May.
Michael Conley, Busey's publicist, provided a statement to ABC News:
"As with many great American institutions, i.e., General Motors, American Airlines, and others who have utilized the strategic business plan of bankruptcy, Gary's filing is the final chapter in a process that began a few years ago of jettisoning the litter of past unfortunate choices, associations, circumstances, and events, to enable the start of a new and clear path toward peace, happiness, and success with his career and his wonderful new soulmate, Steffanie, and their son, Luke."
On Monday, TMZ taped Busey, who seemed unfazed by his financial situation, dancing in a parking lot. Busey's young son, Luke, is also featured in the video.
In an episode of "Celebrity Wife Swap" last month on ABC, Busey spoke in a playful, high-pitched voice, sometimes ended sentences with the word "yay," and when she asks if he goes to church, he replies: "I am church."
The actor's girlfriend, Steffanie Sampson, traded places with the wife of pastor Ted Haggard for one week. Sampson went to the Haggard family's Colorado Springs, Colo., home, while Gayle Haggard went to Busey's home in Los Angeles.

Did you hear about the crazy ants infesting Texas, Louisiana, Florida and Mississippi?
I dont actually know if theyre crazy; maybe theyre just misunderstood. But their colonies move so erratically, rushing to and fro, that etymologists shook their heads and said, This species is crazy.
The ants were first spotted in Texas, back in 2002. Apparently when you see em, its hard to forget em. They dont sting, but they do infest barns, homes, transformers, laptops and smartphones.
How crazy is the crazy ant? Its even displaced fire ants (aka Flaming Jaws of Death ants. Yes, I made that up) in several locations. They are highly invasive and aggressively compete for other species resources [to] establish dominance, according to an ABC news report.
Poison bait that works on fire ants doesnt faze crazy ants becauseare you ready? They wont eat it! Crazy like a fox!
Crazy ants are so bad, When you talk to folks who live in the invaded areas, they tell you they want their fire ants back, a University of Texas researcher said. Fire ants are in many ways very polite. They live in your yard. They form mounds and stay there, and they only interact with you if you step on their mound.
When you make fire ants look good, you know youre crazy.
I had never heard of fire ants when I moved from North Carolina to South Carolina in 1990. We lived in a little house in Berkeley County and I was all into being June Cleaver (a phase that passed quickly). I decided the backyard needed a clothesline so our sheets and such would smell fresh and clean, like those of my childhood. (Cue nostalgic music.)
Thus my ex bought metal poles, eye bolts, coated line, etc., spent a few hours in the yard with a post-hole digger and voila! There sagged a clothesline.
It was a beautiful spring day, so I stripped the beds and threw everything in the washer. When the cycle finished I piled the load in a laundry basket and walked to the clothesline in my flip-flops with the basket propped on my hip. I felt cute and virtuous.
I had one sheet already hung and two clothespins in my mouth when there came a tickle on my bare foot. As I pegged the corner of a pillowcase to the line, jolts of raw, hot pain shot up my leg. I thought Id been snakebit or struck by lightning, or both.
I looked down to see dozens of ants crawling on my foot and leg, biting viciously. I was standing in a fire ant mound. I did two things: Wet my pants and screamed so loud my next door neighbor ran out of his house.
Staggering to the patio, I started slapping at the ants, which were still biting. David hurdled the chain link fence, yelling, Dont mash them! It makes them mad! DONT MASH THEM!
He brushed the ants off with a towel and dotted my foot and ankle with Neosporin as I whimpered in shock and pain. There were about 15 bites, which blistered and oozed for days. I was bitter for much longer.
South Carolina should have warnings about fire ants at every visitors center! I complained to anyone whod listen. I got no sympathy. Apparently everyone in the state has a stung-by-fire-ants story.
To this day, 23 years later, I wont go near a fire ant mound. Id rather tackle the crazy ants from Texas. And, if our armadillos and coyotes are any indication, we wont have long to wait.

Candid with Class
This refreshingly candid personal perspective of President Bush's White House years has reshaped my thoughts on his legacy. The writing is thoughtful and circumspect with touches of the humor that the press never seemed to report. In the passages which review the current administration the analysis is respectful and does not reflect the brutality with which the Bush administration was bombarded. With this book as a foundation, history will begin to realize that his administration and his presidency had a profound and positive impact on the country and perhaps the world.

On the threshold
I am fascinated by that period in a romance novel when it looks like the wished-for union cannot possibly happen. The publishing industry calls this the "dark moment." Literary critic Northrop Frye, who read everything and understood it better than everybody else, dubbed it the "point of ritual death."
Romance novels old and new incorporate this moment. Beneath it, according to Frye, lies a myth of death and rebirth like the story of Persephone.
Briefly, Persephone, a virgin, is loved by Hades, who abducts her and carries her off to his kingdom of death to be his wife. Her mother, Demeter, goddess of agricultural bounty, searches for her, leaving the earth barren. Persephone is returned to her mother, and fruitfulness is restored.
The poet A.E. Stallings, in "Hades Welcomes His Bride" offers us the next act in the abduction, before Persephone's rescue, as Hades conducts his victim on a tour of her new residence—in hell—an ironic inversion of the groom carrying his bride over the threshold.
In the poem, Hades explains that she must adjust her sight to the darkness. He leads her past thrones made of black diamonds, past the loom he has set up for her and furnished with the unraveled silk of shrouds, dyed black. He leads her past her new maids, who have neither mouths nor eyes. When they arrive at the final room—their bedroom—he says:
Ah! Your hand is trembling! I fear
There is, as yet, too much pulse in it.
With that chilling "as yet," Hades promises death: the antithesis of life, union, children, family, and society's reordering. The antithesis of the ending of romance.
At the point of ritual death in Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre (1847) Jane is the Persephone character. Having fled Rochester's attempt to commit bigamy by marrying her, she wanders on the moors, soon to collapse, unconscious, on the doorstep of strangers:
I sank down where I stood, and hid my face against the ground. I lay still a while: the night-wind swept over the hill and over me, and died moaning in the distance; the rain fell fast, wetting me afresh to the skin. Could I but have stiffened to the still frost—the friendly numbness of death—it might have pelted on. I should not have felt it….
Prone, still, uncaring, longing for the "friendly numbness of death," Jane fits squarely in the Persephone role.
In Jennifer Crusie's Bet Me the point of ritual death begins at a wedding that the bride, the heroine's sister, calls off at the altar. The scene is typical of Crusie the arch-ironist. Instead of a wedding, we get a general melee among the bridal party. At one point two bridesmaids, nicknamed "Wet" and "Worse" confront each other:
Wet said to Worse, "You slept with Greg?," and then somebody tapped Greg on the shoulder just as Wet lunged for Worse, and Greg turned around and met George's fist as Wet yanked hard on Worse's chignon, and Worse went ass over elbow into the front pew.
Despite Crusie's slapstick, the moment still represents the bride's dashed hopes of happiness with Greg, the groom. She's the Persephone stand-in and Greg is Hades, just one "I do" away from abducting the bride into a marriage based on false promises.
The aborted ritual death for this bride spirals into the "dark moment" between the novel's heroine and hero. They argue, renewing their worst fears about each other and themselves. Each keeps saying "to hell with" the other and thinking "oh, hell" to him or herself. Each goes home alone and miserable, refusing to call. Hell, indeed.
Whether presented as anguish or slapstick, the moment is crucial, with life, union, children, family, and society's reordering hanging in the balance.

Here is the link to his "real Cream Cheese"
I'll be trying this with sunflowers seeds, less $$$
It looks like you're new to The Rawtarian Community. If you'd like to get involved, click one of these buttons!Login to Community Signup for an account Login using Facebook
1 cup cultured Real Cream Cheese (from my recipe page)
1 lemon (juice of)
2 teaspoon dulse flakes
2 tablespoon hempseeds
1 teaspoon dijon mustard (homemade or otherwise)
1½ teaspoon sea salt
1 clove garlic
2 tablespoon onion, minced
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon agave nectar
1 cup either water or oil
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast, optional
hempseed for sprinkling
Whir everything but the last set of hempseeds together in a blender until absolutely smooth. Let sit at least 1/2 hour or overnight for best flavour.
Toss with Romaine or Spinach, the extra hempseed, and hoemmade croutons, if desired.
You won't taste a more authentic Caesar dressing. This reminds me almost exactly of the creamy Caesar dressing served at Red Lobster.
The secret is in the dulse flakes, which give the secret 'anchovy' taste; and in the hempseed, which works perfectly here in place of parmesean. Your tastebudds will feel guilty.
You can choose to use either water or oil. Oil will give a creamier, richer dressing, but water makes it considerably lower in fat.
To make a Salad, toss Romaine or Spinach (I used spinach in the picture above) with the dressing and top with lots of hempseed. If you're really ambitious, make some hoemmade croutons and toss them in, too.

kminty3: you can find the cream cheese recipe by clicking on poemmom's name and it will take you to the list of her recipes. Incl the cream cheese one
Thank you poemomm, sunflower seeds are about were I am right now.
We have a good bulk section at our local organic market and I can pick up raw sunflower seeds at about that price sans the S&H (which always gets me when I order stuff)
It's a great looking base recipe that looks like it can be used in many ways.
Kminty3- the recipe can be found here:
Where is the cream cheese recipe?
hrmmm... I order mac nuts from bulkfoods.com - we're on a very limited budget, too. (They cost about 7.50 dollars a pound there. I order a lot of things, like goji berries and nuts there).
I've also done the cream cheese with almonds - be aware that you'll have to soak the almonds for about 12 hours to get them as creamy. You'll also want to make sure to use the 1 c of oil, and not the 1 c of water in the recipe.
An even cheaper alternative would be to use hulled sunflower seeds. When our budget is super tight, I use these. Make sure to soak for 2 hours, then drain REALLY well, and use immediately. At bulk foods they're about 1.98 per pound. The taste will be slightly different, though -- but still good.
I love Caesar salads........ Thank you for posting the recipe, I want to try it!
The real cream cheese recipe looks good, but I cannot afford macadamia nuts.
Is there a more affordable alternative?

Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.

The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Desire for Profit
Web zines never die, they just get very sleepy. Rather than nod off, the creators of Urban Desires--one of the Alley's oldest, launched in October 1994--are planning an evolution, rechristening the venture a "content farm" and selling off its archives for a profit. While no deals have been arranged yet, its founders plan to market the zine's extensive back issues and editorial skills to advertisers, corporate Web sites, and magazines. More than just the flatline of another attempt at important impertinence (like Turner Broadcasting's Spiv), the passing of the sophisticated UD (desires.com) may signal the development of a brand-new asset for online publishing: a business model.
"Urban Desires's mission is complete," explains Kyle Shannon, chief creative officer of interactive shop AGENCY.COM and one of three private UD funders, along with AGENCY CEO and UD publisher Chan Suh, and UD editor in chief Gabrielle Shannon (Kyle's wife). "We've explored generating original content in a serial magazine fashion," Shannon adds, "and now that there's a bunch of content, how can we make money on it?"
But even with AGENCY founders as silent partners, it is hard to imagine quirky UD features like "Confessions of a Sexy Sloth" or "A Little Woodland Onanism" making it on the British Airways site (one of Agency's prime clients). Gabrielle also admits that this year's work will have trouble finding a home outside UD because it's "less linear... and more participatory. I don't know how well that would play in magazines."
Online zines have had marginal success reverse-engineering their work into print. The only success story is Salon (salonmag.com), which has a syndication deal with United Features Syndicate. "But Salon has brand-name writers" like Camille Paglia, notes Mikki Halpin, editor in chief of the indie zine Stim (stim.com). "I'm not sure how much of an established brand Urban Desires has."

After publishing some of the Net's sexiest, most urbane lit, UD lost ground with the launch last June of "literary smut" site Nerve (nerve.com)--a whopping success--and the arrival of juggernaut city guides like Sidewalk, CitySearch, and AOL's Digital City.
Now that UD is in limbo, the company is free to experiment. Kyle suggests they may even try to transform it into an editorial rep agency for freelancers, but that's an unlikely move. As Halpin says, "Why can't I pitch freelance stuff without them?" For Kyle and Gabrielle, anything is better than blindly running on without rest. "When we started UD, there was a whole culture of things missing from the Web, and we wanted to fill that," recalls Kyle. "We want to keep doing that--find the place that is missing and explore it."

In part one, we simulated a simple CTMC. Now, let us complicate things a bit. Remember the example problem there:
A gas station has a single pump and no space for vehicles to wait (if a vehicle arrives and the pump is not available, it leaves). Vehicles arrive to the gas station following a Poisson process with a rate of $\lambda=3/20$ vehicles per minute, of which 75% are cars and 25% are motorcycles. The refuelling time can be modelled with an exponential random variable with mean 8 minutes for cars and 3 minutes for motorcycles, that is, the services rates are $\mu_\mathrm{c}=1/8$ cars and $\mu_\mathrm{m}=1/3$ motorcycles per minute respectively (note that, in this context, $\mu$ is a rate, not a mean).
Consider the previous example, but, this time, there is space for one motorcycle to wait while the pump is being used by another vehicle. In other words, cars see a queue size of 0 and motorcycles see a queue size of 1.
The new Markov chain is the following:
where the states car+ and m/c+ represent car + waiting motorcycle and motorcycle + waiting motorcycle respectively.

The Importance of Press Freedom
by Devyn J. White
In 1791, three years after the Constitution was ratified, the first amendment to the Constitution was passed by Congress. Included in it is a vital passage, which declares that Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom ... of the press. This one clause is absolutely essential to the liberty of an individual. However, there have been many who denied this right to the American public, and their actions have badly affected citizens. Those who uphold the Constitution should always speak out against aggressions toward the free press, because there are several consequences of not doing so.
Two great persons, though not Americans themselves, provided excellent reasons to support press freedom. The first was stated by the English poet John Milton, near the time of the English Civil War. In a convincing letter, he said that forming opinions as free citizens involves gathering information, and a free press makes this information available to the people. The second reason was shown in the 19th century by an English philosopher named John Stuart Mill. He believed that by silencing one viewpoint by a controlled press, it is probable that the truth could be concealed from the public.
However, to the dismay of Americans everywhere, actions contrary to the first amendment were directed specifically against the freedom of the press. One prominent assault occurred in 1798, when President Adams and Congress passed the Sedition Act. This made it lawful to penalize those who spoke against the government, regardless of whether the truth was spoken or not. Thomas Jefferson later wrote against this issue, I know not which mortifies me most, that I should fear to write what I think, or my country bear such a state of things. Many supporters of the free press hated this act, and they were thankful when it expired on March 3, 1801.
If citizens allow the press to be controlled by the government, a number of consequences arise. They will not gain access to the information they need to form opinions, because only viewpoints supporting the government will be mentioned. Those who oppose it will have a nearly impossible chance of expressing their own ideas, even if they are stating facts. Furthermore, voters will have a limited ability to know which candidates to elect for government positions, because the press would only favor those who share their opinions.
The freedom of the press is a great gift which everyone in this nation should cherish. By increasing personal liberty, its benefits have largely influenced the American society. Although abuses may be made against this freedom, the opposition of several good Americans, who care for their Constitutional rights, will stop them. Finally, by understanding the consequences that could arise from a controlled press, citizens should remember that America is truly a great nation and that press freedom has helped make it so.

CLOVIS, N.M. - Last week, they were crowded into a house and barn, dirty and unfed. This week, most of them have homes with Clovis residents ready to give them shelter, food and much-needed playtime.
Forty-nine of the 67 cats and dogs found Dec. 29 locked and penned in without food or water have new owners, Clovis Animal Shelter Director Louisa Maestas said.
"(The adoptions are) going fantastic," Maestas said, adding that 16 cats and two dogs need homes. "I'm real pleased with the amount of people coming in."
Police said the animals' previous owner, Alfred Reed, 50, was breeding the "high dollar animals" for sale in New Mexico and Texas.
Reed was arrested the same day on 67 counts of animal cruelty, misdemeanors that carry up to a year in jail for each count, said Curry County Sheriff Roger Hatcher. Reed was released a few hours later on $10,000 bond, Hatcher said.
Reed has not been arraigned, the Curry County District Attorney office said.
A local resident called the sheriff's office Dec. 29 to report that a dog got out of a barn at 1408 County Road L and bit a girl, Hatcher said. Deputy John Higgitt Jr. took the call, Hatcher said.
"When he was talking to the lady who reported it, she said this dog got of the neighbor's barn, and by the way, he's got a lot more animals in there, and he's been gone for a week," Hatcher said.
When animal control and the sheriff's office went to investigate at the rented home, they found a dozen dogs living without food or water in a 150-square-foot barn near the house. Hatcher said one dog died, and the others were eating it.
A screened-off area in a single-car garage held a dozen more dogs living without food and water, Hatcher said. Officers went to the house, where they heard barking inside.
They found two cars outside registered to Reed, along with a week's worth of mail addressed to Reed, Hatcher said. Concerned for Reed's health and safety, officers entered the house, Hatcher said.
"That house was totaled," said Eric Lucero, an officer at the scene. "The cats and the dogs roamed the house at will. We had to chase the animals out of the house."
It had such a strong odor that the fire department was called out with self-contained breathing apparatus to check out the house, Hatcher said.
All the animals were brought to animal control in Clovis, where the dog who bit the child was quarantined because officers did not know whether it had its rabies shots, Hatcher said.
Reed had until 8 a.m. the next day to retrieve his animals, Hatcher said. Reed still had not claimed them by Thursday, Maestas said.
The remaining animals are available for adoption at the animal shelter at Norris and Brady streets. Cost to adopt is $44.50, which includes a rabies shot and a spay and neutering deposit, Maestas said.

The European Society of Human Genetics
is a non-profit organization. Its aims are to promote research in basic and applied human and medical genetics, to ensure high standards in clinical practice and to facilitate contacts between all persons who share these aims, particularly those working in Europe. The Society will encourage and seek to integrate research and its translation into clinical benefits and professional and public education in all areas of human genetics.
Kuwait is the first country in the world to have introduced a law calling for the compulsory DNA testing of all its citizens, and also of all visitors, whatever their reason for entering the country. The ESHG is seriously concerned with the impact of this law on the right to privacy of individuals, and fears the isolation of Kuwaiti scientific research and researchers.
The Submissions for the Chen Awards and HUGO-African Prize Award is open.
Deadline for submissions is September 30, 2016

ESHG makes fellowships available for these courses.
For immediate release
The proposed Regulation on In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices (IVDs) negotiations, currently at the stage of tripartite negotiations between the Council (representing Member State governments), the European Parliament, and the European Commission, still risks restricting the rights of patients and doctors to carry out essential genetic testing, says the European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) today (19 October 2015) in a statement issued by a range of organisations representing geneticists and patients.
After an open consultation on the ethical issues surrounding health databases and biobanks by the World Medical Association (WMA) recently a two day meeting was organized. ESHG responded to the consultation.
We wish to thank almost 2,700 participants and over 145 exhibiting companies and their staff for having attended the ESHG Conference in Glasgow.
We hope to see you in Barcelona in May 2016.
View the following sessions as web-cast:

Videos are now available as on-demand download.
We would be interested to know, if you have recently been thoroughly impressed by one or more speakers you have seen at a meeting (obviously outside the ESHG Annual meeting), both in terms of being an excellent speaker and of presenting excellent science.
We look very much forward to receiving your input at your earliest convenience, in order to discuss it at the next SPC meeting end of June, but we will keep the online form open over the whole year and are equally happy to receive a feedback whenever you experienced a great talk at a meeting.
Thank you very much!
ASHG and ESHG Issue Position Statement on Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening
Two of the world's largest professional societies of human geneticists have issued a joint position statement on the promise and challenges of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), a new procedure to test blood drawn from pregnant mothers for Down syndrome and other chromosomal disorders in the fetus. The document addresses the current scope of and likely future improvements in NIPT technology, ways it may best fit with existing prenatal screening tools and protocols, options and priorities in its implementation, and associated social and ethical issues.
Sequencing technologies generate data on the entire sequence of the human genome for a decreasing price at increasing speed. This has increased the accessibility of using whole-genome sequencing and whole-exome sequencing approaches for analysis in both the research and clinical contexts.
The ESHG has issued recommendations.
This leaflet gives patients information about genetic tests that target many different genes at once. The information may help you to decide whether or not to have the test and help you to understand the results.
Experts in Reproduction and Embryology continue to discuss the interface between genetics and ART with ESHG
Proposed amendments to EU Regulation on Medical Devices are counter to patients' interests and unworkable, says ESHG
Recent amendments to the proposed Regulation on In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices (IVDs) currently before the European Parliament will restrict the rights of patients and doctors to carry out essential genetic testing, says the European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) today (Monday 7 April 2014). Furthermore, an independent legal opinion now shows that the European Union (EU) has no competence to enact the Regulation as amended by the Parliament.
In a letter published in the journal Science on 30 August, Professor Martina Cornel, chair of the Professional and Public Policy Committee of ESHG and colleagues call for restraint in the use of diagnostic testing based on whole-genome sequencing.

No sympathySeptember 10,2013
No sympathy
I read the recent article in The Times Argus about the seizure of the dog. I am the owner of the elderly blind dog, that is actually not so elderly.
Zoe, my German Shepherd/Husky mix is two and a half years old. Brandy Todd had been warned two previous times, verbally, about the issue with her dog slipping out of its collar. My grandmother told Brandy to put a harness on it so she would have more control. Brandy did not listen.
The dog, Kodiak, on the third time, charged at Zoe while my mother was outside with her and attacked her. Zoe was on a leash all three times of the attacks, and on the third and final attack, my grandmother told Brandy she had given her too many chances and was done with the dog.
We are not the only ones to file a complaint, Brandy had many complaints about the dog which she failed to do anything about. So its no wonder that the town doesnt feel sorry for her, when she failed to do anything about the control of her own animal, if she truly cared about keeping her dog.
With three written complaints and numerous voiced complaints, isnt that a sign she wasnt doing much about her dogs control?

Another short but very nifty how-to for you. It…misrepresents what it is, a bit, because it says that these are "infrared" goggles, and what they're showing you how to do is make a pair of goggles that filter out all light except for light in the near-infrared portion of the spectrum. Humans are not actually capable of seeing light in the infrared spectrum, so anything visible to you through these goggles MUST be light in the visible spectrum since all you're doing is filtering the light, as opposed to using actual infrared-to-visible converting tubes (this is how real infrared goggles work: they have vacuum tubes in them that convert infrared light and display it as visible light). However, it's still pretty cool, and for about 10 bucks total…meh, why not? Here's how to make them:
Ever since I hooked an ignition coil up to a car battery and zapped myself I've been interested in 'how-to' do all sorts of things--I put some of them here.

Duke Johnson, RB, Miami. Johnson ran for a career-high 176 yards and three touchdowns in a wild 52-45 victory over Duke. Johnson finished the season with 947 yards rushing, a program freshman rushing record. In all, Johnson had 2,060 all-purpose yards on the year, the second-most in school history behind Willis McGahee, who had 2,108 in 2002.
Cody Journell, PK, Virginia Tech. Journell nailed a 29-yard field goal as time expired to give Virginia Tech a 17-14 win over Virginia and ensure the Hokies a 20th consecutive bowl appearance. The made field goal allowed Journell to make up for a missed 42-yard attempt just a few minutes earlier that would have given the Hokies the lead.
Bryn Renner, QB, North Carolina. Renner finished 28-for-39 for 305 yards and five touchdowns in a 45-38 win over Maryland, tying a single-game school record for touchdown passes. He threw five touchdown passes earlier this year against Louisville. Renner also established a single-season school record with 28 touchdown passes, topping his previous mark of 26 in 2011. Chris Keldorf (23 in 1996) is the only other Tar Heels quarterback to throw for at least 20 touchdowns in a season.
Jamison Crowder, WR, Duke. Though the Blue Devils lost, special mention must be given to Crowder -- who had a career-high 203 yards receiving and two touchdowns to top all players in Week 13. He had a 99-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter, setting the school record for the longest play from scrimmage. Crowder also set the school record for most TD catches of 50-plus yards with five, breaking the previous mark of four set by Eron Riley in 2007. He had 272 all-purpose yards on the day.

A team of investigators at Brown University have found that Fragile X exists at the presynaptic, or sending side of the synapse. Previous research had only highlighted the role of the Fragile X protein on the receiving side of synaptic connections.
The scientists discovered that the Fragile X protein is only present in a small fraction of what are known as presynaptic specializations. The presynaptic Fragile X protein also turned out to be present in microscopic granules. Though further research is needed, the team hypothesizes that the granules contain multiple RNAs that help modify the synapse during learning and memory.
"The implication is that presynaptic defects could contribute to the pathology in autism in Fragile X," says Justin Fallon, Ph.D., professor of neuroscience. "Almost no one has looked at the presynaptic side, as it was not thought to be involved in Fragile X."
Their finding of the Fragile X granules was serendipity, according to Dr. Fallon. The original focus was on developing an improved method for visualizing where Fragile X protein sits in the brain. The research group began by examining specially prepared sections of mouse brain tissue with high-powered light and electron microscopes.
The article appears in the February 4 issue of the Journal of Neuroscience.

In the mid-'70s, the toddler son of folk-rocker Jackson Browne would sometimes make a cameo appearance at his dad's concerts. These days, Ethan Browne is a 20-year-old successful fashion model who still sounds a Jot like Dad's lyrics: "I know a person is beautiful if I get this extra heartbeat that tells me they're special." An expert himself in raising pulses, Browne has employed his sultry brown eyes and chiseled cheek-bones (thanks, pad) in ads for Banana Republic and Ralph Lauren and worked the runways of Versace and Calvin Klein. Says Andrea Lee Linett, Sassy magazine editor: "He's a total fox; he conveys a sensitivity that's inviting."
The 6'1" Browne, who lives in New-York City with girlfriend model Leilani Bishop, 18, owes his substance—if not his style—to his father. (His mother, Phyllis, committed suicide in 1976.) "I share a lot of concerns with my dad," he says, "including the plight of Native Americans and the rain forests." Of course, he adds, "I have my own ideas too."

Would you buy your company if it was for sale?
Many private company owners lose sight of the importance of the returns their business generates based on the capital they employ and the risks that they take. The chief reason for this is that the business becomes a "lifestyle business." Its principal purpose is now to support the owner's lifestyle rather than to function as an important asset that is growing in value.
Keeping a close eye on operations will help avoid surprises
Organizational monitoring is not just about protecting a company from fraud. Monitoring systems can help ensure quality, that customer needs are being met and that the company is doing everything else that is necessary to achieve its goals.

An executive candidate's cultural fit can determine success or failure
Culture fit is a major factor when determining success or failure for new hires at every level, particularly at the executive level. Someone who is a good fit to a company's culture is typically given a longer runway to prove his or her capabilities when joining a new company. A person who does not align with a corporate culture, regardless of skills and capabilities, will not get the same latitude.
