I bet that the #1 reason Google+ is growing so fast is because of the way they designed the "Suggestions" module in the right-hand column of the home page. It shows people in your address book, but it looks like those people are already using the service. You add the people to your Circles thinking that they're already using G+, which then sends the friend a note. It must be extremely effective in terms of viral growth... and it's also a surprisingly spamy tactic for Google. Smart. Those are the types of aggressive moves Google needs to make for the service to take off.

Anthony Pettis has added insult to injury for Cub Swanson.
Swanson says that Pettis has not only jumped the title shot queue following his win over Donald Cerrone last month, he has also stolen a move from him in the process.
Pettis is being granted an immediate title shot in the featherweight division. UFC president Dana White says the match was made after Pettis texted him and asked for it. Swanson, riding a 3-0 streak of wins inside the distance, wants to know why his own texts don't get the same response.
"Yeah its the famous text message. I wish my texts were that impressive. But its a great match-up and as a fan I am excited for it. When I get my opportunity I would love a crack at Aldo [again], I feel like I owe that fight to the fans and I feel like I never had a chance to showcase [myself in] that fight. If we meet again I would love that chance," he tells Fighters Only.
"[I'd like to fight Aldo] Just because we have history but I think everybody would be interested in a me and Pettis match-up. We both kind of throw some crazy stuff. Though you know, he has been complaining about people stealing his moves - I am pretty sure he stole one of my moves in his last fight, the cartwheel kick."
The cartwheel kick - which, bizarrely, went almost unremarked by the commentary team when Pettis threw it - is also a trademark of the Muay Thai legend Saenchai. So could the argument be made that he is the fighter who has actually been robbed?
"Well… that wasn't in MMA!" says a dogged Swanson.
Swanson also weighed in on comments made by Pettis' coach Duke Roufus recently. Roufus said that Jose Aldo's signature leg kicks won't be an issue in the fight because Pettis "knows how to check kicks" using his shin. "They won't be a factor," Roufus says. Swanson is not so sure.
"Well the reason you check the kick is that instead of you taking the pain you share the pain. Its like, we are both going to endure this pain because we are going shin to shin. So its like most people would then say OK, you called my bluff and I am not going to kick you any more because you are willing to do that," he says.
"But in Aldo's case you can check it but if he doesn't stop kicking after that then its [a case of] who's shin is harder. If he decides to check it and Aldo keeps kicking, one of them might be really hurt. I think they are a factor no matter what. I hope he goes in with that game plan of not respecting them. I don't think its a good idea though."

The latest business surrounding THQ's bankruptcy has triggered the purchase of several video game franchises and development studios. According to a letter sent by THQ to Kotaku, here's what happened:
- Yesterday morning, we received a competing bid for the operating business, along with Clearlake's offer, and numerous offers for separate assets.
- During an auction process that lasted over 22 hours, the final conclusion was that the separate-asset bids would net more than a single buyer for the majority of the company.
- Shortly, we will, present the results to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, which must concur with our assessment. The proposed sales of multiple assets is as follows:
- Sega agreed to purchase Relic
- Koch Media agreed to purchase Volition and Metro
- Crytek agreed to purchase Homefront
- Take 2 agreed purchase Evolve and
- Ubisoft agreed to purchase Montreal and South Park
So far Ubisoft is the only publisher that officially confirmed the purchase of THQ Montreal and the project South Park:
"This deal adds experienced developers to our internal creative teams at a key moment in the cycle of the video game industry," said Yannis Mallat, president of Ubisoft Montreal. THQ Montreal In addition to the team at THQ Montreal, Ubisoft also acquired a new, yet-to-be announced IP in development at the studio. THQ Montreal will join Ubisoft's development teams, already the second-largest in-house development staff in the world with 26 studios in 19 countries and more than 6,250 people dedicated to video game production.
South Park: The Stick of Truth South Park: The Stick of Truth is being developed by Obsidian Entertainment, the studio behind Fallout: New Vegas, and is scheduled for release in calendar 2013.
This acquisition has no material impact on Ubisoft's current fiscal year (2012/13).

This long-lasting Los Angeles doo wop aggregation had a very fluid personnel roster. Bobby Day was one of the group's founders in 1950, and the Hollywood Flames recorded prolifically for Hollywood, Specialty, Lucky, Swingtime, Money, and other labels before cutting their one major hit, the rocking "Buzz Buzz Buzz," in 1957 for Ebb Records. Earl Nelson, who was later half of Bob & Earl, sang lead on the tune, and some of their subsequent Ebb 45s were rocking novelties. Day went on to solo success with "Rockin' Robin," and the group managed one more chart item, "Gee," for Chess in 1961 with Donald Height as lead singer. ~ Bill Dahl

Indonesian athletes look beyond Olympic glory
- 28 July 2012
- From the section Asia
Early morning practice on the courts, and already the sweat is pouring down the faces of the Indonesian Olympic badminton team players.
Everyone is hard at work, getting ready for the big day in London.
Grunts fill the air as coaches whack the delicate white shuttlecock back and forth to players on the other side of the net, in what seem like endless rallies.
The pressure is on the young men and women in this team to bring back at least one medal.
Indonesia is a gold medal contender in the Olympics only because of badminton.
Quality athletes
It comes as a surprise to many in the sporting world the world's fourth most populous nation does not compete in more events at the Olympics.
But what is even more worrying is that over the years, fewer and fewer athletes in this country have qualified for the Olympics. This year, only 22 Indonesians are heading to the UK to compete.
Arguably, what Indonesia has failed to deliver in terms of quantity, it has made up for in quality - at least since badminton was included in the games in 1992. Indonesia has won at least one gold medal every Olympics since then.
But this year there have been concerns that Indonesia would not do as well as it has in the past, having lost some key tournaments ahead of the games.
"We're hoping that we won't let anyone down," said Lilyana Natsir, part of the mixed doubles pair that Indonesians are hoping will bring in the gold medal this year.
"It is a tough competition, but we are grateful for the support of the public, and we will do our best."
But optimism amongst the young athletes remains high. The previous generation of Indonesia's Olympians has expressed worries that because of the government's lack of development in sports and inefficient management, the prized medals may be out of reach for Indonesia's badminton team this year.
Ask any Indonesian about badminton victories, and chances are that the names Alan Budikusuma and Susi Susanti will come up.
The two are national heroes - Indonesia's golden couple.
The married duo won Indonesia's first gold medals for badminton in the 1992 Olympics - a huge moment of pride for Indonesians and one that many still remember.
'No support'
These days the superstar couple run a badminton club where amongst other children, they also teach their own kids.
But Alan and Susi agree they would never let their own children become professional athletes
"I will always support my childrens' interest in badminton, but only as a hobby," Susi said, as she cast a critical parental eye on her three children practicing on the courts.
"They should focus on their studies. There is still no future in sports. I want a secure future for my children."
Harsh words from one of Indonesia's former Olympians, and surprising given that Alan and Susi were some of the lucky ones.
But Susi said that the government must do more to protect the future of Olympic sports like badminton in Indonesia.
"I don't think the current players get enough support from the government," she said.
"When you decide to become a badminton player in Indonesia, you are basically giving up your life. You have to think about your future on your own, the way that my husband and I did after we retired and started our own business. The government here will only look after you while you're on the courts."
Those kinds of sentiments are shared by some of today's athletes too, and are inevitably having an impact on how Indonesians view pro-sports as a career choice.
Practical prospects
Lilyana Natsir says she has to remain practical about her prospects after she hangs up her racket.
"In other countries like China and Korea, medallists get a pension and some help from the government after they retire," she said.
"But here in Indonesia, it's not like that. So I haven't been foolish, I've used my money wisely with the help of my mum to make investments. In Indonesia you have to focus on competing and also worry about your financial future."
Indonesian officials know morale is low, which is why they are promising more incentives for Olympic medallists now than ever before.
"I have a tough job, I know that," Erick Thohir, chief mission of the Indonesian Olympics team said.
"I have to build the spirit of the team, which is why you'll see me cheering them on at all times
"But I've also been working hard over the last couple of months to support our future medallists, to ensure that they get the bonus money they're supposed to, and also to ensure that they get insurance until they are 75 years old."
Back on the courts, Alan is drilling the basics of badminton into his nine-year-old son.
He is not planning on letting his son go pro, but it takes this kind of nurturing to produce a world class athlete.
Indonesia needs to groom its next generation of shuttlers, so it can continue to go for gold.

More On The Draft
Fun With Draft Stats- QB's
- Fun With Draft Stats- RB's
- Fun With Draft Stats- WR's
- Fun With Draft Stats- TE's
Most believe that you have to get your big guys early and our research mostly supports that. Offensive tackles selected in the first round have a 50 percent (16 of 32) hit rate (became a solid starter). The first round is littered with recent Pro Bowlers, as Jake Long, Joe Thomas, Ryan Clady and D'Brickashaw Ferguson have been ultra-worthy of their high selections. Another advantage of taking an offensive tackle early in the draft is what we call "bust insurance". Bust insurance is defined (by us) as the ability to move what appears to be a bust at one position to a position which may be less taxing. The Oakland Raiders cashed in their "bust insurance policy" by moving former second-overall pick (2004 draft) Robert Gallery from tackle where he was abysmal to guard where he's now a solid starter.
How successful have teams been selecting offensive tackles in Round Two?
Offensive tackles selected in the second round are hit-and-miss, mostly miss. Our research shows that teams pulling the trigger on tackles in Round Two have a hit rate of just 26.9 percent (7 of 26). The San Diego Chargers hit on one of those with Marcus McNeill, as did the Tennessee Titans with Michael Roos, and Darren Colledge helped the Green Bay Packers win a Super Bowl just last month. But our numbers don't lie and for every McNeill or Roos, there are nearly three Adam Terry's or Marcus Johnson's.
What did we encounter in Round Three?
At every other position, both on offense and defense, the further you go down the draft board the lower the chances are of finding a serviceable starter. Offensive tackle serves as an anomaly as we saw the percentage go up from 26.9 percent to 30 percent (6 of 20) as we moved from the second round to the third round. Although there haven't been any Pro Bowlers selected in Round Three, you can find very good starting right tackles in Houston's Eric Winston and Denver's Ryan Harris and even a left tackle with Pittsburgh's Max Starks.
How do the late-round project guys turn out?
A lot of teams like to select their big guys later on and hope that they can develop into solid backups or possibly even starters. There were 132 offensive tackles selected in Rounds 4-7 and 13 of which have been solid picks (9.8%). Among them are Green Bay's Josh Sitton (bust insurance move to guard), Dallas' Doug Free, New Orleans Jahri Evans (bust insurance move to guard where he became a two-time Pro Bowler), Tennessee's David Stewart, Philadelphia's Todd Herremans (bust insurance move to guard) and Colts turned Titans tackle turned guard Jake Scott, among others.
Whereas most teams opt to take elite level talent early at the tackle position, that's not the only way to skin the proverbial cat. Unlike quarterbacks, teams have found success without drafting tackles in the first round as Pittsburgh, Arizona and New Orleans have made it to the Super Bowl without top of the line talent. Still, when drafting offensive tackles it appears to be in club's best interests to select early and often. Overall, 20 percent of all tackles drafted in any round have worked out to be solid players, one of the highest percentages of any position. First round picks can turn into Pro Bowlers, and lately (2006-2009) they have hit at a 73.3 percent rate (11 of 15). According to our research, the only round where it appears best to shy away from selecting a tackle is Round Two, where the 26.9 percent hit rate hasn't really lived up to the value of the selections. Now that you have the facts, draft accordingly.

En Español
Hormone therapy for prostate cancer is also known as
androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).
Prostate cancer cannot grow or survive without
androgens, which include
testosterone and other male hormones. Hormone therapy
decreases the amount of androgens in a man's body. Reducing androgens can slow
the growth of the cancer and even shrink the tumor.
Hormone therapy may be used:
When hormone therapy slows the growth of prostate cancer, a man's prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels will go down. PSA tests will show if the treatment is working.
Taking medicine, such as luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) medicine, is one way
to reduce androgens.
Other hormone therapies may include the use of
medicines such as aminoglutethimide
combined with hydrocortisone, corticosteroids (dexamethasone,
hydrocortisone, and prednisone), estrogen, and megestrol.
Another way, used much less often, is surgery to remove
the testicles, also known as an orchiectomy. This surgery is considered to be hormone
therapy. This is because removing the testicles, where more than 90% of the
body's androgens are made, decreases testosterone levels. Removing the
testicles may be the simplest way to reduce androgen levels, but it is permanent.
Research does not clearly show whether starting hormone therapy before symptoms appear allows men to live longer than if they waited until after symptoms appear to start taking medicine.footnote 1 Men who start hormone therapy almost always stay on it for the rest of their lives. So waiting until symptoms appear may allow men to delay the serious side effects of hormone therapy.
Hormone therapy usually works well at first to stop cancer growth. But in most cases, the cancer begins to grow again within a few years. At this point, the cancer is described as hormone-resistant, meaning it is not responding to standard hormone therapy. When this happens, other kinds of hormone treatments may be tried.
When hormone treatments no longer keep the cancer from growing, the cancer is called castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Treatments that may be used to help men live longer include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and medicines like enzalutamide.
The side effects of hormone therapy increase with the length of time that a man uses this therapy. Some of the side effects from hormone therapy will go away when a man who
is taking medicine finishes his hormone therapy. For a man who has an
orchiectomy, the side effects of sterility and loss of sexual interest are
immediate and permanent.
Side effects of hormone therapy may
Other side effects may include hot flashes, erection problems and reduced sex drive, breast enlargement, and cognitive impairment. Some men may experience depression.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug
Reference is not available in all systems).
long-term side effects of hormone therapy, even for men taking medicine, are
not known. But hormone therapy has been linked to a higher risk for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and a shorter life span.footnote 1
One large study found that
hormone therapy appears to be linked to a higher risk of death from heart
problems in men who had surgery for localized prostate cancer.footnote 2
The side effects of hormone therapy for prostate
cancer often affect a man's quality of life. But there are treatments that can
help with some of the side effects listed above. For example, exercise can help
counteract the loss of muscle mass and will help with fatigue. There are
medicines that can help with hot flashes, nausea, diarrhea, and bone loss. Low-dose radiation or taking tamoxifen may help prevent or reduce breast enlargement. For men
with depression, counseling and medicine may help. For more information, see
the topic Depression.
Above all, talk with your doctor about any
of the symptoms you have while you are taking hormone therapy. Your doctor may
know about a local support group for men who have prostate cancer.

Good Food For International Travel
TheKitchn The particularly challenging thing about this trip is that there are two equally long flights. The first one is easy: it's an overnight flight, and in order for our bodies to adjust, we need to sleep. The second flight, however, will begin in the middle of the night (according to our bodies' clocks, anyway) but we need to stay awake. It's an all-day flight and we want to stay awake and energized without relying on caffeine (and terrible airplane coffee). Here are some foods we are planning on packing: • Odwalla bars for sheer sustenance. • Clementines • Sunflower seeds • Celery sticks • Dressed, shredded cabbage • Empty water bottles, to be filled after the security checkpoint • Herbal teabags • Honey sticks: does anyone know if these can get through security? What are some of the best foods for international travel, and how do you get through these long plane flights? Related: What Foods Can You Carry On The Plane?

Just a memory
Snow Igloo: With the past weekend's balmy temperatures, the foot of snow dumped on the area Feb. 20-21 seems like a distant memory. However a week after the storm, enough of the white stuff remained for 6-year-old Tucker Knauss and his dad, Spencer Knauss, to build this igloo in their backyard. Upon finishing construction, Tucker filled a cooler with snowballs that he stored inside the structure.

Skip to comments.GOP created a nativist monster: How radical wingnuts seized the party
Posted on 07/01/2014 10:10:48 PM PDT by ObamahatesPACoal
Politico ran an interesting article last Friday about the apparent stall of momentum on immigration reform that was assumed to be on the way to a reasonable compromise just a few months ago. It begins, naturally, with an assault on the liberal immigration reform groups for speaking out of turn and making the president angry with their incessant demands. Hes quoted as saying If you take the pressure off of them and put it on me, youll guarantee that there is no legislation. Evidently he actually believed that the Republicans would respond to pressure from Hispanic rights groups. (One might have thought that the fact that they wouldnt even respond to pressure from the Chamber of Commerce, Evangelical preachers and even the Koch brothers on this issue would have made it obvious that such activism was quixotic to say the least.)
Trent Lott, the Republican Senate whip in 2007, received a lot of those calls from talk-radio listeners. Ive had my phones jammed for three weeks, he told The Washington Post at the time. Talk radio is running America, he lamented after the bills defeat. We have to deal with that problem.
Well, that sounds good on the campaign trail, but few of them had actually read data about we admit a million on a path to citizenship every year, we have 600,000 guest workers in addition every year, Sessions continued. Few of them had asked themselves, in a time of high unemployment and slow growth, you want to increase the number? (SNIP)
These are the most active members of the conservative coalition and 73 percent of them believe that immigrants today are a burden on our country because they take our jobs, housing and health care.
(Excerpt) Read more at salon.com ...
the us chamber of comerce is full of right wing wingnuts? who knew.
the author
I thought it was good to be a nativist American.
Salon created a monster.
Listen Dolly, we conservatives are not in control of the GOP, we are actually far from seizing the party from the leftard wingnuts.
I remember when the liberals were all concerned about the US becoming overpopulated.
Now they want to import hundreds of thousands of uneducated, un-vaccinated, unwashed, undocumented sperm donors.
Did she go into Lenscrafters and ask for the Stupidest looking pair of Glasses they sold?
Only if you have high cheekbones and your grandmother told you they were your nativist legacy.
Yep, that's a Digby all right
Digby here needs to stop worrying about the GOP and do a story about how Communist USA and the Muslim Brotherhood took over her DemocRAT Party.
I'm confused. First somebody says the Tea Party's influence is over, and then somebody else says we have hijacked the party.....The fact is that neither is completely true, but both are completely true in the feeble mind of a progressive.
"And it must be noted as well that immigration reform advocates had some legitimate gripes against the administration, which had been deporting more undocumented workers than his predecessor."
Nonsense! The current crop of illegals has made up for that. Why can't these worthless RINOS just go away and shut tfup? Somehow the air in the Capitol changes everyone—they become brainless wonders, attempting to best everyone else on their stupidity.
I thought Thad Cochrane's victory proves that the Tea Party is now dead and buried.
So what's the concern?
proof the left is bipolar. one day it's over, the next we somehow took over the whole party.
they all are afraid of the people taking govt back from the political elite. on both sides.
Now how about a piece on the commie takeover of the Democrats?
Channeling Mrs Pekar....
fits the name!
That's not who Obama is letting through the border, though.
The wing nuts should vote in. Rat primaries.
She definitely looks like the sort that boils rabbits.
I thought I was a constitutional conservative. Then I was a member of the great right wing conspiracy. Then I was part fundamentalist. Now I am, apparently, a radical wingnut. How am I supposed to know which line to stand in if they keep changing the placards?
Yeah, and another thing, Koch brothers this, Koch brothers that, what happened to Halliburton?
"Digby" is the stupidest hippie ever to disgrace the internet. When I feel down I like to drop by her place to laugh at the stable of clowns she keeps around for comic relief. That mouth breather David Atkins is always good for a chuckle.
Is that a male female or some other protected class?
I would enjoy seeing Digby with scabies.
I would enjoy seeing Digby with scabies.
Look at me! I'm a wing-nut! I'm against amnesty and I like guns! I'm craaazzzyyyyyyyyy!!!
Nuttier than a fruitcake and twice as crummy.
Go to her website just for snits & giggles. HDP's articles are pure unintended entertainment.
What if a FReeper got on the PC and banged out the most satirical imitation of a lefty kook's maniacal ravings on any subject one could imagine?
It wouldn't come close to Heather Digby Parton's fevered screeds. Why? Because any FReeper's got at least half a brain.
immigration causes global warming.
The labelling is why I describe myself as "constitutional conservative". It's clear and self explanatory. Let some one find argument that I support following the Constitution and that I support conservative, traditional values.
Time to take back the party from the corrupt radical big government wingnuts !
To: Heather Digby Parton
Get a real job, goofy tooth.
It's nice to know that liberals have our backs and are willing to let us know about our weaknesses in order to strengthen our opposition against them. Very noble and selfless of them, isn't it?

Broken Anchor at Rockwood Music Hall
211-477-4155 www.rockwoodmusichall.com
This event has already taken place. Click here for the latest events.
Earning comparisons to Wilco and Fleet Foxes, atmospheric, retro-influenced pop/rock band Broken Anchor evolved through a collaboration between singer/songwriter Austin Hartley-Leonard and producer Brad Gordon. After honing his craft as a solo artist with songs featured on TV shows such as "Burn Notice," "Hart of Dixie," "Jane By Design" and "The Ghost Whisperer," Hartley-Leonard originally imagined Broken Anchor as a studio project. Yet, with time, Harley-Leonard and Gordon soon saw the songs take on a life of their own. By adding drummer/percussionist Mike Duffy to the mix, Broken Anchor is now a memorable, high-energy duo, and has released a series of EPs, titled Broken Anchor Vol. I, II, and III.

- Signature Style: Hard-hitting metal riffs combined with symphonic undertones, sad and bleak melodies that still maintain accessibility, and the signature emotional voice of Michael Barnes. Not many bands in alt-rock and metal sound that much like them.
- Symphonic Metal: Contains elements of this from time to time due to their heavy use of strings and choirs on some songs. Of Beauty & Rage takes the symphonic part of their sound to the next level.

Beef industry Down Under gets injection of optimism
Published 23/04/2014 | 02:30
The first thing that struck me on walking out of Tullamarine Airport in Melbourne is the economic boom. The city is buzzing, the skyline is dotted with cranes and, shortly after 6am, we encounter gridlock on the freeway.
When the rest of the developed world was heading for recession, the Australian government adopted economic policies which have maintained the country's prosperity.
Even the beef sector got a recent injection of optimism with the signing of the Australia/Japan Free Trade Agreement (AJFTA). Last week's South Gippsland Sentinel Times reports that sales of Australian beef to Japan are expected to rise by Aus $5.5bn (€3.7bn) over the next two decades.
Tariffs on frozen Australian beef exports to Japan will fall from 38.5pc to 19.5pc over 18 years, while those on chilled beef will drop to 23.5pc over 15 years. This is a much-needed boost for Aussie beef farmers, who suffered almost two years of drought followed by other challenges such as floods, fire, a strong Australian dollar and trade disruptions.
Only a few million dollars of trade relief is anticipated, however, for Australia's dairy sector. Tyran Jones of the United Dairyfarmers of Victoria has warned that "the US and European Union are set to swamp the global marketplace with subsidised dairy products, making it even harder for Australia to compete on a level playing field".
Hopefully, the overall boom Down Under will continue for the thousands of Irish people who have emigrated there in search of opportunities. The population of Australia is 23.5m and is estimated to be growing by more than 400,000 per annum.
Ireland is seventh – after India, China, the UK, Philippines, South Africa and Vietnam – in the Australian immigrant figures. On a trip to see the famed penguin parade on Phillip Island, the introductory talk was in three languages: English and two Oriental languages, probably Cantonese and Mandarin.
I visited Australia 25 years ago on a year-long working holiday visa where I got to live what I saw as the outback dream, riding in a cattle drive of 1,300 head across a stretch of Queensland. This was no tourist trek. The hard work was real, as were the blisters on my bum.
It's very different being back with a young family on a three-week holiday. All our accommodation and travel had to be booked in advance, while the only occasion we will sleep in the million-star motel will be as part of an organised bus tour.
It's been wonderful to experience everything anew through the eyes of the girls and Robin; the 700 native species of gum trees – including rainbow, red, flooded and wavy – and the native wildlife, including platypus, koala, dingo and, of course, roos.
But the highlight so far has to be the amazing birdlife who easily match their colourful names: rainbow lorikeets, sulphur-crested cockatoos, noisy miners and crimson rosellas.
I am writing this travelling on the day train from Melbourne to Sydney, tended by as warm and helpful a staff as I have ever come across.
They were actively assisting elderly passengers with their luggage and onward travel arrangements. Many of the rural stations such as Wagga Wagga, Cootamundra and Harden remain colonially quaint. The landscape is dramatic, though there would be little work for a plate metre.
The scheduled travel time is 11 hours and 30 minutes.
However, after three hours in, we have already had a couple of unscheduled stops.
Apparently there are some issues with signalling and brakes, but we have been repeatedly reassured that it is only a parking brake.
Now we are being told that the driver has managed to make up five minutes, so we are only running 45 minutes late. If I was at home I mightn't be so tolerant, but right now, it's all just part of the adventure.
Australia the facts
* Australia is more than 90 times the size of the island of Ireland and just more than half of its 770 million hectares is suitable for agriculture.
* There are 134,000 farm businesses in Australia, of which 120,000 are solely dedicated to agriculture, 307,000 people are employed directly – 234,000 of these full time and 1.6m people are employed across the agri-food sector.
* Approximately one third of farms are less than 50ha, a further third are between 50-500ha and there are around 100 farms with over 500,000ha.
* Anna Creek in South Australia is the largest cattle station in the world; its area of 24,000 sq km is slightly larger than Israel. But drought means it sometimes has no stock at all.
* The age profile of farmers in Australia is very similar to Ireland. Median farmer age is variously described as 52 or 53 years (compared to 40 across all other sectors), while the average for Ireland is 54. There, as here, the over 65s are the largest cohort.
* At Aus$48.7bn (€33bn), agriculture accounts for 2.4pc of Australia's GDP. The main products are beef and veal, wheat, whole milk, wool, wine, sugar, barley and lamb.
* Around 60pc of Australia's food production is exported, split almost evenly between livestock and crops. Main export markets include the South East Asian nations (21pc), China (14pc), Japan (13pc) with the EU on 8pc.

Absolutely the worst doctor I've ever met. "Do no harm" is not part of his creed. He would do well to spend less time laughing it up with his nurses and more time face to face with patients. I really took him to be a substance abuser because he was so stressed and imposing.
None better. Extra kudos to Angie and Lindsay, his two right arms.
Was my Ma Ma's, Dr. Did a great job caring for her until her death at age 88. Has provided skilled professional care for me and referred me to a skilled heart surgeon for bypass surgery,Continues to monitor my heart condition, could not ask for any better.
he was always accurate and explained thingd to u in a matter where u understood it. he puts stents in my heart in 2005 he is a caring dr. i would use him and recommend him to any one.
I was very impressed with Dr Powell, he was very easy to talk to and I felt all my needs were being met. I had 2 Dr. Office visits with him and he also talked with me at lenght in the hospital while I was getting my tests on my heart run. I would diffently recommend him to my friends.
Dr. Powell is a horrible doctor. I cannot believe that he actually had a MD degree. He is an unskilled doctor and makes bad judgement calls about his patients well being. His fees are too high in comparison with other more competent doctors. His poor judgement and selfish concerns will outweigh his compassion for your care. Stay far away from this doctor!

Fashion Flashback
This week is the grand finale, the orgasmic crescendo, of the Awards Season, that month or so when the red carpets of Hollywood are an A-list battle ground. Tomorrow night designer Leon Max co-hosts with Vanity Fair the launch of Annie Leibovitz's sumo-size new tome at the Chateau Marmont, on Saturday there is the Chanel pre-awards dinner and on Sunday the big guns are out for the Academy Awards themselves.
Our favourite moment of the Season so far? That was a couple of weeks back when Los Angeles hosted the Grammy's 'Salute to the Beatles' and we spied three of our campaign stars sparkling amongst the A-list audience.
Model/musician Charlotte Kemp Muhl was sitting with boyfriend Sean Lennon – she was the face of MaxStudio for Autumn/Winter 2004-5 – while Spring 2006's Behati Prinsloo, the Namibian supermodel, was on the arm of Adam Levine and Suki Waterhouse (MaxStudio Class of 2012) was looking stunning hanging with Bradley Cooper.
All in a night's work.

Skip to comments.Images of fetal development (here is a baby at seven weeks)
Posted on 05/20/2007 9:30:57 AM PDT by doug from upland
Images of Fetal Development
The following images were presented to Fr. Frank Pavone, at the time he was working at the Vatican, by a team of experts from Poland. The experts presented them also to Pope John Paul II.
Priests for Life is grateful to Professor Andrzej Skawina (Collegium Medicum Jagiellonian University, Krakow) and Dr. Antoni Marsinek, MD (Czerwiakowski Gynecological and Obstetrics Hospital, Krakow) for making these images available, and to the Zrodlo Foundation, Wychowawca Department, for the permission to use them.
We encourage pro-life groups and individuals to use these images, keeping in mind the words that pollster Harrison Hickman spoke to the 1989 conference of the National Abortion Rights Action League, "Nothing has been as damaging to our cause as the advances in technology which have allowed pictures of the developing fetus, because people now talk about that fetus in much different terms than they did fifteen years ago. They talk about it as a human being, which is not something that I have an easy answer how to cure."
CAVEAT: I am a commercial real estate broker, writer, and businessman. I have no medical training and don't play a doctor on television. But I am pretty sure that I seeing a developing human baby here.
DOH === I am seeing, not I seeing....good writing, Doug
My grandchild is at 7 weeks. Thanks. I just sent the photos to my daughter. I'm calling the kid Phoebe, just to make it easier to lift this child up in prayer. Her mother has had two miscarriages.
This is a fundamental problem that should be corrected with a Constitutional Amendment.
No court would be able to "interpret" that.
PRayers for the unborn.
I'm sure at 4 weeks, the form is there, also, just smaller than what we see here. God's creative power is awesome! Great article and pictures.
Prayers for this child to come into the world.
But rights belong to an individual as a consequence of being human. Of course citizenship is conferred at birth...I'm sure other privileges and rights are worded similarly.
But human rights overide that.
The basic problem is that judges and politicians can't or won't read.
The Preamble, the very foundation of the Constitution, makes it clear that the document's purpose is to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves AND our posterity.
The word "posterity" is not only inclusive of the unborn, but of the as-yet unconceived.
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
I really wish I hadn't gone to the other pictures at the bottom of that page.
How can anyone NOT call abortion murder?
And how can anyone who calls themself a doctor, mutilate and dismember one of Gods creations and call it "choice"?
Conferred by whom?
Then why is it murder to kill someone's baby in the womb?
Makes me think of our great grand daughter. She was a 27 week pregnancy. They laid her on a metal table saying she was still born, a few seconds later they heard a 'squeak'. She was alive and now at the age of 2 1/2 she is a beautiful blue eyed blond with a smile that would melt your heart.
Just WOW. :-)
Our "rights" are not given to us by anyone. They do not exist except in our heads. We choose to respect the rights of others in exchange for others respecting our rights. It is the mental framework of a prosperous society. The most basic right is to be secure in ones property. With out property rights nothing else matters.
Amazing how hard folks like you have to work to not see what Thomas Jefferson and the other Founders called "self-evident."
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Our rights to life, liberty and private property are not "conferred" by any man. They are the gift of the One Who made us. That's why they are inalienable.
Wrong. The most basic right is the right to live, for without the right to live, all other rights are meaningless fantasies.
Know any dead people with property rights?
What a wonderful story!
Without reliance upon the Creator, and adherence to his principles, there is no lasting framework of any sort for a prosperous, a free, or a just society. It is the equivilent of building your house on the sand. First storm that arises will sweep it all away forever.
"It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible." - George Washington
I consider ones life one of ones possessions. Life and Liberty with out ones property is not quite the same.
My point is that "Rights" do not exist in nature. A bunny rabbit has no right to life when a hawk is hungry.
Yes we must be a moral people for the framework to survive. This means we must respect the rights of others, simply because it is the proper thing to do, not out of fear of punishment. Punishment is a good backup plan, but it is a loosing battle if people have no moral framework.
You're in for a big shock sooner or later. I can say with 100% certainty that at some future date, you will discover that your life is only on loan. You belong to the One Who made you. (I sincerely hope it is sooner.)
My point is that "Rights" do not exist in nature. A bunny rabbit has no right to life when a hawk is hungry.
Sorry, but we're not animals, and might does not make right. Self-evidently, we were created by God, in His image, and are called to something far higher than mere ravening beasts.
Your statements have more to do with the way of thinking that brought about the Soviet Union than they do with fundamental American principles of government or morality.
My grandmother's first name was Phoebe. I've felt close to her lately even though I didn't know her in this life. Phoebe was also a strong and faithful woman in the New Testiment. I'm not going to be the one naming this child and maybe a Phoebus but bright and shining works for me.
Mere fear of punishment is never sufficient to restrain human passions.
Have you never heard of self-government under God? It's the only thing that has ever worked to build a real civilization that actually works...and such self-government is impossible without the God that the Founders of America worshipped and served, and the principles He teaches.
As men move further from God and His principles, human governments rise up to fill the vacuum, with ever-increasing levels of oppression and tyranny.
The rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness were called inherent to our being, meaning no one gave them to us, meaning no state gave us our rights, they exist as a concept, and people can choose to ignore them if the choose.
Gad!! They couldn't tell dead from alive?
Sorry, Mark, but no godless, communistic, animalistic, ideology is going to produce this kind of society:
Isaiah 58
6 Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of injustice, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke?
7 Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover them, and not to hide yourself from your own kin?
8 Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up quickly; your vindicator shall go before you, the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.
9 Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; you shall cry for help, and he will say, Here I am. If you remove the yoke from among you, the pointing of the finger, the speaking of evil,
10 if you offer your food to the hungry and satisfy the needs of the afflicted, then your light shall rise in the darkness and your gloom be like the noonday.
11 The LORD will guide you continually, and satisfy your needs in parched places, and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters never fail.
12 Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to live in.
The Constitution does not confer rights -- it is a guarantor of rights that are conferred by God.
On August 1, 1776, Samuel Adams stood before a large crowd on the steps of the Philadelphia Statehouse and delivered a speech before the formal signing of the Declaration Of Independence on August 2, 1776. In his speech he stated:
"We have explored the temple of Royalty and found that the idol that we have bowed down to has Eyes which see not, Ears that hear not our Prayers, and a heart like the nether millstone. We have this day restored the Sovereign to Whom alone all men ought to be obedient; He reigns in Heaven, and with a propitious Eye beholds His subjects assuming that freedom of thought, and dignity of self direction, which He bestowed upon them. From the rising to the setting Sun, may His Kingdom come."
The close of the Declaration of Independence, which is so often ignored:
"We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."
The constitutions of all fifty states are premised on an appeal to the Creator, the Almighty, the Judeo-Christian God, and an admission that without him we can do nothing.
"The institutions of our society are founded on the belief that there is an authority higher than the authority of the State; that there is a moral law which the State is powerless to alter; that the individual possess rights, conferred by the Creator which government must respect. The Declaration Of Independence stated the now familiar theme: 'We hold these Truths to be self evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.' And the body of the Constitution as well as the Bill of Rights enshrined these principles." (The following year, prayer was removed from schools.)
Rights begin at birth. That is why we have the drinking, voting, and all other defined by how many years since birth not conception.
The fact that some States apply a double standard in fetal death is their problem not mine. I would apply all rights at conception.
"Upon these two foundations, the law of nature and the law of revelation, depend all human laws; that is to say, no human laws should be suffered [permitted] to contradict these." - Sir William Blackstone
"A free people claim their rights as derived from the laws of nature, and not as the gift of their chief magistrate." - Thomas Jefferson
"[It is] God who gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are a Gift of God?" - Thomas Jefferson
God, the One Who made you, and me, and every other human being who ever lived, not the State, is the author of "Rights," according to "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God," regardless of what the ACLU, or you, would lead us to believe.
Again, I ask, why then is it murder for you to kill a pregnant woman's baby?
If I could figure out how to do it I would post her pic.
send it to me in an email.... you have FReepmail
On what basis would make that argument, though? If such a decision is based solely upon your will, it is meaningless and cannot stand for long.
Actually, they think the cold stainless steel table shocked her heart, sort of the way really cold ice water does to someone whose heart has slowed way down.
Our God given rights precede our birth and even our conception:
Psalm 139
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
Jeremiah 1:4-5
The Call of Jeremiah
4 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew [a] you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
One year old.
How many times do I have to say we need a moral society? When God brings people to a moral viewpoint it is great. I have no problem with the government reflecting the morality of the people that created it.
People have to bring morality to the table of self government. The government can not force people to be moral, once force comes into play, morals are gone in my opinion. People have to be good and obey the law because they want to.
Your attempted character assassination of what I am saying by linking it to some sort of "godless, communistic, animalistic, ideology" is just a lot of garbage. I was speaking in general terms that were inclusive of the part religion played in the development of our society. How many time can I say it? We need to be moral, and that includes respecting the rights and property of others. We need to realize that rights are merely concepts, rules of the game, and the game can be easily cheated. This is why the Founding Fathers said our rights were inherent, [God was crossed out and replaced with Creator.] and set up limits upon the government to try to prevent the government from ignoring our rights.
Just as people have to find it in their hearts to accept the Lord, they must find it in their hearts to want to live by the rules, to lead a moral life, not because they are forced or bribed to, but simply because they want to.
People doing the right thing simply because the want to, is one of the frameworks of a solid prosperous society, not the only framework.
Abortion is wrong because it does not respect the rights that we share with all people, I am including the little one in the womb as a person. These rights are never conferred upon the little guy, they are just recognized as being there by definition. You know, inherent.

Manchester United looked to be on the ropes at halftime against West Ham, down 2-0 as a result of two Mark Noble penalties, but a Wayne Rooney hat trick and a Chicharito brace to boot in the second half gave the Red Devils a crucial 4-2 victory.
With the win, United stay top of the table, putting all the pressure on title chasers, Arsenal.
The victory also gives Sir Alex Ferguson and company some much-needed momentum going into a massive Champions League quarterfinals match up at Chelsea on Tuesday.
The loss drops West Ham back into the bottom three, which means another late-season fight for Premier League survival for Scott Parker and Hammer faithful.
Let's take a look at a few talking points from the match and where both teams goes from here.

Why Everyone (Else) is a Hypocrite : Evolution and the Modular Mind
You save US$5.10
Free delivery worldwide
Dispatched from the UK in 1 business day
We're all hypocrites. Why? Hypocrisy is the natural state of the human mind. Robert Kurzban shows us that the key to understanding our behavioral inconsistencies lies in understanding the mind's design. The human mind consists of many specialized units designed by the process of evolution by natural selection. While these modules sometimes work together seamlessly, they don't always, resulting in impossibly contradictory beliefs, vacillations between patience and impulsiveness, violations of our supposed moral principles, and overinflated views of ourselves. This modular, evolutionary psychological view of the mind undermines deeply held intuitions about ourselves, as well as a range of scientific theories that require a "self" with consistent beliefs and preferences. Modularity suggests that there is no "I". Instead, each of us is a contentious "we" - a collection of discrete but interacting systems whose constant conflicts shape our interactions with one another and our experience of the world. In clear language, full of wit and rich in examples, Kurzban explains the roots and implications of our inconsistent minds, and why it is perfectly natural to believe that everyone else is a hypocrite.show more

Review quote
"Bolstered by recent studies and research, Kurzban makes a convincing and coherent ... case for the modular mind, greatly helped by humorous footnotes and examples... Taking on lofty topics, including truth and belief, Kurzban makes a successful case for changing--and remapping--the modern mind."--Publishers Weekly "Using humour and anecdotes, [Kurzban] reveals how conflict between the modules of the mind leads to contradictory beliefs, vacillating behaviours, broken moral boundaries and inflated egos. He argues that we should think of ourselves not as 'I' but as 'we'--a collection of interacting systems that are in constant conflict."--Nature "Robert Kurzban believes that we are all hypocrites. But not to worry, he explains, hypocrisy is the natural state of the human mind. In his book Why Everyone (Else) Is a Hypocrite: Evolution and the Modular Mind, Kurzban asserts that the human mind consists of many specialized units, which do not always work together seamlessly. When this harmony breaks down, people often develop contradictory beliefs."--Victoria Stern, Scientific American Mind "Kurzban is a luminary in the growing discipline of evolutionary psychology... [P]rovocative... Kurzban devotes much space to explicating and demonstrating ways in which his theory plays out in our everyday lives."--Library Journal "With wit, wisdom, and occasional hilarity, Robert Kurzban offers explanations for why we do the things we do, such as morally condemning the sale of human organs and locking the refrigerator at night to keep from snacking... Kurzban touches on some complex topics in a manner that's both smart and accessible. He incorporates a plethora of psychological studies to support his theories but the narrative is never dry... By challenging common assumptions about habits, morality, and preferences, Kurzban keeps readers both entertained and enlightened."--Foreword Reviews "[Kurzban] argues that ... internal conflicts are not limited to extreme cases; they occur in everyone's brains, leading to illogical beliefs and contradictory behaviors. That's not necessarily a bad thing, according to Kurzban. In fact, being selectively irrational may give us an evolutionary advantage."--Kacie Glenn, Chronicle of Higher Education "Robert Kurzban has used his view of evolutionary psychology to pursue the concept of 'self' at the heart of both the discipline of psychology and the everyday understanding of human behavior--which surely is of interest to everyone... The book itself is fresh. Kurzban's style is to take traditional questions and apparently reasonable positions and then demonstrate that reasonableness is actually only so under a set of assumptions--and that if they do not conform to the modularity hypothesis then we ought to rethink."--Tom Dickins, Times Higher Education "Highly recommended."--Jessica Palmer, Bioephemera blog "I'm sure that Why Everyone (Else) Is a Hypocrite will provoke a lot of controversy, and I'm certain that Kurzban's theses will require further refinement. But what a fascinating read!"--Brenda Jubin, Reading the Markets blog "[T]here is much that is valuable in Kurzban's book."--Peter Carruthers, Trends in Cognitive Sciences "We're all inconsistent and self-deceiving, says evolutionary psychologist Robert Kurzban. Our modular minds didn't evolve for consistency, but for patchwork multitasking... As Kurzban says, understanding how and why we can be so 'ignorant, wrong, irrational, and hypocritical' may help us work towards a fairer society."--Susan Blackmore, BBC Focus "Kurzban brilliantly (and often hilariously) breaks down the system of functional modules, explaining their existence through evolution, and their hypocrisy through a lack of communication. Why Everyone (Else) is a Hypocrite delves into a part of psychology that has famously been ignored by many prominent members in the field."--Haley M. Dillon and Rachael A. Carmen, Journal of Social, Evolutionary, and Cultural Psychologyshow more
Back cover copy
"Robert Kurzban is one of the best evolutionary psychologists of his generation: he is distinctive not only for his own successful research and sophisticated understanding of psychology, but also because of his wit--Kurzban is genuinely clever, sly, succinct, and sometimes hilarious."--Steven Pinker, Harvard University "In this amazing book, Robert Kurzban carries out a brilliantly thought-provoking conversation with himself that made me think hard--and laugh out loud. Using clever examples and a revolutionary scientific approach, he shows that contradiction is truly a fundamental human experience. No wonder, then, that I wanted to share this book with my friends--but I also wanted to keep it for myself! If you don't read this book, you'll be left wondering what everyone (else) is talking about."--James H. Fowler, coauthor of "Connected: The Surprising Power of Our Social Networks and How They Shape Our Lives" "Here is a fun counterpoint to the explosion of examples showing that humans do not act in accordance with the predictions of standard rational models. But Kurzban is no defender of the standard models. Rather he seeks an understanding of why our actions may appear contradictory in particular contexts, but serve us well in others, and why that helps to improve our fitness for decision, if not always for a life of liberty."--Vernon L. Smith, Nobel Laureate in Economicsshow more

Deodorant is fine for arm pits, but how can you stop sweat and odor elsewhere? Enter Bálla Powder. Though targeted squarely at your nether regions, this talc-based formula works in your shoes, on your chest, on your hands, on the back of your neck, and so on. It's all game when you're clamping down on chaffage.
I personally prefer Jack Black's Dry Down Powder for keeping my sensitive areas dry. It has a much more subtle scent than Balla Powder, which has a strong enough smell that I worry about it clashing with cologne.
That said, it does its job (keeping your sweaty bits dry) very well. If they offered an unscented version I'd be thrilled to give it a shot.
The scent and feel of the product is great and it really does help to combat a sweaty situation. That being said, I cannot stand the packaging on the full sized product. The holes in the shaker lid are so small, making it impossibly difficult to quickly get enough product out. I am now towards the end of the bottle and find it even more difficult to get the last bit of product out. If I purchase again, I will rip the shaker top off and dump the product into another container.3
I bought this for my boyfriend at his request after we both read some of the great reviews for it. However (and this may be unique to the package that we got), the lid was faulty and impossible to get off without a LOT of force, and we ended up spilling it all over the place and shattering the top of the container. I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem, but it was a real bummer to pay full price for this and see so much of it wasted. (Otherwise, the boyfriend reports that the powder works very well.)3
