Chinese Circus Ban Goes Into Effect
China is saying "lights out" for all animal shows at its 300 state-owned zoos, telling zoos that they can either stop abusing animals in this way or be shut down. The circus act ban—which China's Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development passed in September 2010, earning it PETA Asia's Advancement in Animal Welfare Award—officially goes into effect this week, and already two zoos have shut down their circuses. Some of the cruel stunts used in these shows featured lions standing on horses' backs, bears walking tightropes, monkeys fighting each other, and live animals being fed to predators.
Banning these cruel shows could lead to improved conditions for other zoo animals as well. Last year, an investigation by the State Forestry Administration (SFA) revealed "more than 50 zoos where animals were suffering severely because of abuse." The SFA also received a PETA Asia Advancement in Animal Welfare Award for its investigation and the ban that it imposed in July 2010 on cruel circus acts.
Chinese zoos had defended the circus acts, saying that they made the animals "stars." But we're pretty certain there's not an animal out there who would prefer being beaten and forced to perform stupid, dangerous tricks to relaxing and playing with his or her family.
PETA Asia has been sending undercover investigators to zoos across China since July 2010 in order to monitor the zoos' compliance with the new policies, and the group is reporting violations to authorities.

that is mean what they do to the animals
Amazing!! After seeing fur farm videos, and their eating cats and dogs, I can't believe they had any compassion for animals. But I'm happy for the circus animals, hopefully they can live a peaceful life hereafter.
Great news! Thank you PETA Asia!
Nice to know that China is treating animals better than theyre treating their citizens.
I don't see how a bear walking a tightrope is cruelty unless there is some abuse in the training process.
I am delighted, I hope that PetA will also look at general treatment of animals in zoo's. Next is putting an end to the fur and meat trade.
Make people be in the circus not animals they have no choice. Stop it, leave animals alone…please.
I'll believe it when I see it. You cant trust the Chinese at all. They are the reason the Rhino, Tiger and shark are endangered. They eat anything and have no regard for life, human or animal.
Rehibilatating highly stressed some times abused animals is verry hard task. Choose wisely.
Have you ever seen a real breathing animal Crying in your dreams from pure un-adiltrated Joy. Well Now I have. Thank you.
There is no justification for any cruelty to animals. Well put, as if any animal gives a shit about being 'a star'. Ludicrous. STOP THIS NOW!
Well something good for China….Now keep working the Human rights issues….Animals and women should all live in peace in that beautiful country.
I hope China keeps improving the way they treat animals. To be honest, I am shocked China has done this.
I'm unclear, is this a ban on all circuses – those that use animals, at least – or is this just a ban on circus-type shows at zoos?
Well done China, I hate you slightly less now.
Thank you for helping these animals PETA!
Not sure where all those animals will end up, hopefully not on their dinner plates? Is there sanctuaries set up so "owners" can take them there or be forced too?? On the up side… three CHEERS for China on this one!!
Wow, I didn't think that was possible! Amazing, I love you PETA! 😀
Good news, progress is being made. Just need them to close the tiger farms now…
I am so happy that they syoped the crulity in the circuses and zoos but I will feel much better to know that they have stoped skinning dogs alive for fur. totally inhuman.
A giant step in the right direction. Way to go PETA!!
What concerns me that from millions of facebook users only 1890 people liked this or rather then supports this case!!!!
It's a start. These poor animals.
I just want to say THANK YOU to the chinese people who have put pressure on their government to stop this cruelty. As many of you know, it is not easy to oppose the government in China…baby steps, but it gives me hope that the world is changing…
thank you for the all your efforts!!!
Just do it! stop abusing animals, try to be Human Beings…
Animals were not meant to do tricks. If God meant them to do tricks they would be doing it naturally. China does not treat their people good, why should we expect them to treat animals humane. I will be lieve it when I see the results. Peta, keep up the great work. Someday there will be no more animal suffering.
I am sooo happy t see this! This can go a long way for animal crulty in China! Very excited about the change in the air!
STOP this crazy doing things to these animals. If you want to hurt someone do it to your self,not innocent creathers. Take a good look in the mirror and ask your self who is that and what i'm doing to these animals.
Great news! now if we can get them to stop the fur and meat trade it would be even better! Go job PETA Asia and SFA
basta ya!!
What will happen to the animals? Where will they all go?

The point is that Aikido, Taiji, and other arts aren't considered complete without these kinds of skills...
I'd like to read up on these skills some more. Where does O'Sensei specifically mention the kind of skills you are referring to that render aikido incomplete without them?
Well, I'm not sure what your question is. Are you asking "where does O-Sensei mention these skills and that Aikido is incomplete without them" or are you asking "Where does O-Sensei mention these skills"? Please note what I said in the original quote.
If you look in Ueshiba's douka, his spoken and written word, and watch the standard ki demonstrations that he did (not to mention Tohei and others do), it's pretty obvious these things are part of "Ai-
In a martial context, medical context, and as part of the widespread Yin-Yang cosmology, "ki" or "qi" means the same thing in both China and Japan, in all the different martial arts. When Ueshiba wrote the standard references about Man, the Ki of Heaven, the Ki of Earth, the Divine Will, etc., as being the jewels of Aikido, he was referring to the same skills that we're talking about in Tohei's "Ki Society", the "jo trick", "aiki", etc. Without thinking, a lot of people, even old Asia hands, will sometimes begin (because of lack of knowledge, to put it bluntly) sort of think that the "ki" in Aikido is somehow referring to something else or some irrelevant-to-the-core-matters concept. No... this is what's being talked about
: the body skills we're discussing in this thread.

Under §38.122 of the Texas Penal Code, falsely holding oneself out as a lawyer is a third-degree felony, which carries a punishment of two years to 10 years in prison.Opening statements in the trial begin on Tuesday. Based on the attorney fee checks he allegedly accepted and a quick Google search which yielded many hits for the self-described "self-employed lawyer" (who also was reported as making very generous campaign donations to the Texas Democratic Party), it appears that Mr. Celis enjoyed substantial economic benefits from working as a lawyer. (The Google search indicates that he was also accused of impersonating a police officer and that several local judges recused themselves from his case). If he cannot provide sufficient evidence to show that he meets the requirements to practice law in Texas, then he faces some dire consequences for the unauthorized practice of law.
The big issues in the case are whether the 37-year-old Celis, who attended law school in Mexico, is in fact a Mexican lawyer and, if not, whether he falsely held himself out as a lawyer for economic benefit.
In 2007, Celis testified during a deposition in a separate civil suit that he is a lawyer in Mexico. However, the indictments allege he is not.
The 2007 indictment alleges Celis falsely held himself out as a lawyer on or about Nov. 1, 2005, by stating on business letterhead, on a business card, on a business fax cover sheet and on a business Web page that he was licensed in Mexico "and the defendant was not then and there licensed to practice law in this state, another state, or a foreign country and was not then and there in good standing with the State Bar of Texas and the state bar or licensing authority of any state or foreign country where the defendant was licensed to practice law."
That indictment also alleges that Celis falsely held himself out as a lawyer when he signed a legal document in a place designated for an attorney's signature, and when he told an individual that he was licensed to practice law when he's not licensed in Texas, elsewhere in the United States or in another country.
The 2008 indictment alleges that Celis falsely held himself out as a lawyer with intent to obtain an economic benefit by...accepting a check for $84,286 as attorney fees on June 2, 2006; for $100,020 on June 22, 2006; for $80,000 on June 27, 2006; for $286,000 on July 5, 2006; for $27,000 on Aug. 7, 2006; for $122,500 on Sept. 13, 2006; for $157,500 on Oct. 12, 2006; for $440,000 on Dec. 7, 2006; for $37,789 on Dec. 13, 2006; for $7,500 on Jan. 25, 2007; and for $5,906 on Jan. 29,

"Warrensburg - Go Mules!" Warrensburg by Jewelslover
Warrensburg Travel Guide: 3 reviews and 15 photos
Warrensburg Missouri is the home to my Alma Mater, Central Missouri State University, or CMSU for short.
Warrensburg is a fairly small town, probably just 15,000 when college is not in session. The college probably doubles the town's population when students are there for the schoolyear.
This is Pine Street. If you were a college student in Warrensburg, you know this street! This is where we all go to party! Ok, there are some restaurants and businesses on this street as well, but it's known for it's nightclubs.
Lyon's Lake is actually a large pond, it's not very big, but there are ducks and geese there all year which are pretty tame since they're fed all the time. Kids love this.

Built-up storm water has breached through the sand berm at Waimea Bay, discharging turbid waters into the bay.
Click here to watch the story.
The public is advised to stay out of flood waters and storm water runoff to avoid possible overflowing cesspools, sewer manholes, pesticides, animal fecal matter, dead animals, pathogens, chemicals, and associated flood debris.
Authorities said several people contracted leptospirosis, a bacterial disease, while recreating at the discharge site, so stay out.
For more information on leptospirosis go to http://health.hawaii.gov/about/files/2013/06/leptobrochure.pdf.
People are warned to stay out of coastal waters if they are cloudy or brown in color.

Staff in all areas wonderful
We enjoyed most aspects of our stay.
The evening meal and breakfast were all excellent flavour and value for money. The staff in the bar, the restaurant and other areas were all very efficient, friendly and customer service was very good. Only a couple of small things. The toilet seat in the bathroom was wonky and moved every time you sat on it (but should be easily fixed). The duvets could have been thicker (quite thin) for the time of year as not really warm enough and no extra blankets/duvets in the wardrobe. The room we were in (room 7) was quite noisy as we were told in the morning when we mentioned it that the vents were very closely outside and came on early in the morning and stayed on until late at night and could not be switched off. Would stay here again if given a quieter room (apparently ones at the front would have been quieter).

Don't worry, FileVault is perfectly stable and reliable and you really shouldn't experience any more issues ! I heavily rely on it myself (for testing and support purposes) and never encountered problems. :-)
Turning FileVault off and on again will force Mac OS X to create a new encrypted image, therefore solving any directory problems on it. However, for added security, I would recommend that you backup your data first and run a disk and permissions repair by using the Disk Utility between the two steps -- boot from the Mac OS X Install CD to repair the disk and from your hard drive to repair the permissions.
Also, you may want to make sure that you have plenty of empty space left on your hard drive : at least slightly more than the size of your unencrypted home.
Let me know if this helps !

An alleged a mortgage insurance kickback scheme is at the heart of an administrative proceeding brought against PHH Corporation and its affiliates by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
CFPB claims consumers were harmed by the scheme that started as early as 1995, and is seeking a civil fine, a permanent injunction to prevent future violations, and victim restitution.
The filing is against New Jersey-based PHH Corporation and its residential mortgage origination subsidiaries, PHH Mortgage Corporation and PHH Home Loans LLC, and PHH's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Atrium Insurance Corporation and Atrium Reinsurance Corporation.
Mortgage insurance
Mortgage insurance is typically required on loans when homeowners borrow more than 80% of the value of their home. It protects the lender against the risk of default. Generally, the lender -- not the borrower -- selects the mortgage insurer. The borrower pays the insurance premium every month in addition to the mortgage payment.
While mortgage insurance can help borrowers get a loan when they cannot make a 20% down payment, it also adds to the cost of monthly payments for borrowers who have little equity in their homes.
Ken of Puyallup, Wash., had an experience with PHH that left him shaking his head. "Got a runaround for a year and a half, lied to, ripped off, forcing me to use their insurance," he writes in a ConsumerAffairs post. "After all this time hassling back and forth, they gave me a 2% discount on my loan. (Big deal.) Crooks and scammers. My principal has not gone down since I started this loan and I'm current on my payment. Where did this money go that was supposed to go toward my loan? Payments-- where did my payment go?"
Doing damage
Mortgage insurance can be harmful when illegal kickbacks inflate its cost. Increasing the burden on borrowers who already have little equity increases the risk that they will default on their mortgages. The Real Estate Settlements Procedures Act (RESPA) protects consumers by banning kickbacks that tend to unnecessarily increase the cost of mortgage settlement services. It also helps promote a level playing field by ensuring companies compete for business on fair and transparent terms.
CFPB says its investigation showed that when PHH originated mortgages, it referred consumers to mortgage insurers with which it partnered. In exchange for this referral, these insurers purchased "reinsurance" from PHH's subsidiaries. Reinsurance is supposed to transfer risk to help mortgage insurers cover their own risk of unexpectedly high losses.
According to the Notice of Charges, PHH took the reinsurance fees as kickbacks, in violation of RESPA. The CFPB alleges that because of PHH's scheme, consumers ended up paying more in mortgage insurance premiums.
Enforcement action
The Notice contends that PHH used mortgage reinsurance arrangements to solicit and collect illegal kickback payments and unearned fees -- through its affiliates Atrium Insurance Corporation and Atrium Reinsurance Corporation -- in exchange for the referral of private mortgage insurance business. The bureau believes that from the start of the arrangements, and continuing into at least 2009, PHH manipulated its allocation of mortgage insurance business to maximize kickback reinsurance payments for itself.
PHH Corporation and its affiliates are specifically accused of:
- Kickbacks: Over approximately 15 years, the CFPB alleges that PHH set up a system whereby it received as much as 40% of the premiums that consumers paid to mortgage insurers, collecting hundreds of millions of dollars in kickbacks;
- Overcharging Loans: In some cases, PHH charged more money for loans to consumers who did not buy mortgage insurance from one of its kickback partners. In general, they charged these consumers additional percentage points on their loans; and
- Creating Higher-Priced Insurance: PHH pressured mortgage insurers to "purchase" its reinsurance with the understanding or agreement that the insurers would then receive borrower referrals from PHH. PHH continued to steer business to its mortgage insurance partners even when it knew the prices its partners charged were higher than competitors' prices.
This case will be tried by an Administrative Law Judge from the CFPBs Office of Administrative Adjudication, an independent adjudicatory office within the bureau. The Administrative Law Judge will hold hearings and make a recommended decision regarding the charges, which may be appealed to the director of the CFPB for a final decision.

Scalloped hammerhead
The scalloped hammerhead, Sphyrna lewini, is a hammerhead shark of the family Sphyrnidae. Originally Zygaena lewini, it was later moved to its current name. The Greek word sphyrna translates into "hammer" in English, referring to the shape of this shark's head.
This shark is also known as the bronze, kidney-headed or southern hammerhead. It primarily lives in warm temperate and tropical coastal waters all around the globe between latitudes 46° N and 36° S, down to a depth of 500 metres (1,600 ft). It is the most common of all hammerheads.
The scalloped hammerhead was first named Zygaena lewini and then renamed Sphyrna lewini by Edward Griffith and Hamilton Smith in 1834. It have also been named Cestracion leeuwenii by Day in 1865, Zygaena erythraea by Klunzinger in 1871, Cestracion oceanica by Garman in 1913, and Sphyrna diplana by Springer in 1941. Sphyrna comes from the Greek and translates into hammer.[2] The Sphyrna lewini uses it's large hammer like head to send sonar signals to the sun, so it can use it's brain to work out the angle of the sun, thus finding out the time of day, prompting it to start it's migration. This amazing creature also plays around with the sand with its dorsal fins and if it can't find a certain amount of species beneath the sand, it knows they have migrated and so it's time for them to migrate as well. Most Sphyrna Lewini migrate randomly, following others in groups and hopefully ending up in a breeding grounds, if not, they die. Then, once the babies are born, one adult stays behind to lead all the new borns make to their deep ocean home.
Announcements in June, 2006 reported the discovery of a possible new species of hammerhead off the shores of South Carolina. The possible new species is referred to simply as a cryptic species until it receives an official designation. This is prolonged, in part, because the discovery is really that the "scalloped hammerhead" is possibly two different species, not that a new species has been sighted, in the normal way. The discovery that scalloped hammerheads are possibly two species is purely a result of genetic testing, not identification of physical differences.[3]
Distribution and habitat
The scalloped hammerhead is a coastal pelagic species, it occurs over continental and insular shelves and in nearby deeper water. It is found in warm temperate and tropical waters, worldwide from 46° north to 36° south. It can be found down to depths of over 500 metres (1,600 ft) but is most often found above 25 metres (82 ft).[4] During the day they are more often found close to shore and at night they hunt further offshore. Adults occur alone, in pairs or in small schools while young sharks occur in larger schools.[2]
Anatomy and appearance
The most distinguishing characteristic of this shark, as in all hammerheads, is the 'hammer' on its head. The shark's eyes and nostrils are at the tips of the extensions. The maximum length of the scalloped hammerhead is 4.3 metres (14 ft) and the maximum weight 150 kilograms (330 lb).
This shark is often seen during the day in big schools, sometimes numbering hundreds. They are not considered dangerous and are normally not aggressive towards humans.
This shark feeds primarily on fish such as sardines, mackerel and herring, and occasionally on cephalopods such as squid and octopus. Larger specimens may also feed on smaller species of shark such as the blacktip reef shark, Carcharhinus melanopterus.

What have you done, except lookup the correct answer?
An infection strain of bacteria increases in number at a relative growth rate of 200% per hour. When a certain critical number of bacteria are present in the bloodstream, a person becomes ill. If a single bacterium infects a person, the critical level is reached in 24 hours. How long will it take for the critical level to be reached if the same person is infected with 10 bacteria?
this is very hard.....
but the correct answers is 22.85 hour
pls solve it thanks
First you have to understand what "relative growth rate of 200%" actually means. If the number of bacteria at the beginning (time t=0) is n=1, what will their number be in one hour, 2 hours, 3 hours.
Post back what you get.
After that you might be able to deduce how to calculate the number N of bacteria after 24 hours. That N number of bacteria is making a person ill.
Then you have to see when will that N number of bacteria be reached if you start off not with just one bacteria, but 10.
Then again you have to see what will the number of bacteria be after one, two, three hours (with respect to same relative growth rate) and deduce how would you calculate the number of bacteria after k hours, meaning you'd have to come up with the expression in variable k.
Then you can form the equation setting that expression equal to mentioned number N and calculate the number of hours k needed to reach that number of bacteria.

The impact of invasive species on reptiles and amphibians
Prepared by Dr. Jeffrey E. Lovich, USGS, Biological Resources Division, Department of Biology, University of California, Riverside
Native amphibian and reptile populations worldwide are under threat from exotic invasive species of plants and animals, including other reptiles and amphibians. As habitats are changed and plant community organization is modified by exotic species, delicate relationships between plants and animals are altered or eliminated. For the most part, the impacts of exotic species on herps have been negative.
See below for list of other useful web sites.
Impact of exotic invasive plants on selected reptiles
Impact of invasive exotic animals on native reptiles and amphibians
As a group, reptiles and amphibians have been very successful as invaders. Prior to 1978, 75 exotic species were introduced into the United States in numbers sufficient to allow establishment (Smith and Kohler, 1978), including some 50 species in Florida alone (Wilson and Porras, 1983). The rate of introduction of exotic reptiles and amphibians into South Florida was fairly constant from 1940-1958. However, from 1958-1983 the rate of invasion increased three-fold (Wilson and Porras, 1983).

|The System Integration Challenge: Eliminating Project Breakdowns
|Programming - General
|Written by Marty Acks
|Sunday, 10 August 2008 19:00
With proper planning, you can ensure a smooth system integration project.
So, your next big project is to integrate one of your existing systems with another system of which you may or may not have in-depth knowledge. In today's fast-paced development world, new projects involve more than simply writing the next killer app. System integration projects run the gamut from exposing applications or data to the Web (often referred to as application modernization), to integrating new software packages with existing systems, or to blending applications because of a recent merger.
In any case, these projects have common characteristics not present in self-contained, build-from-scratch projects, and this article focuses on exploring some of the differences between these types of projects and the key factors of integration success to help you avoid common pitfalls.
Break Down the Barriers
One common aspect of system integration projects is that they often combine teams that have not previously worked together. Projects may be staffed from various departments within the same company or include third parties that bring in specific expertise or capacity for a defined project.
It is important to choose the right person to run the project, someone who will work well with other technical teams not under their control and who can facilitate the coordination of efforts between the team members. The key is to not place the most knowledgeable or most senior engineer in the role of coordinating with other disparate or geographically dispersed teams. Choose someone who can deal with the mundane administration and who can succinctly communicate with individuals who have different technical backgrounds.
One common aspect of system integration projects is that each team gets to control only what they build and then has to agree with the other team how the integration is to be accomplished. No single team gets to decide how the other team builds the entire solution. Each team should be looking at the other system they are integrating into as a black box that they send information into and/or from which they receive information. This coordination role does not necessarily need to be a senior technical role on the team but does need to be one that can align the technical chest-thumping to project needs while managing scope creep.
Additionally, clearly laying out project goals to all team members is critical. The goals should be explained from the perspective of the ultimate end-user of the systems. Everyone does not actually have to agree. You may hear "What's wrong with the green-screen?" or "But I loved the old accounting system!" Team members have to at least understand the business justification for the project. Doing this early in the project can eliminate many frustrations later.
What to Integrate
One of the largest and most successful integration projects I participated in was one in which, once the business objectives were defined, the next planning phase then simply defined what business information needed to be sent to support the business objectives. We agreed very early in the project which areas made the most sense for each team to be responsible for. While this may seem obvious, in comparison to other projects, this resulted in literally no discussion or disagreement about which team (my organization or our partner) had responsibility for whatever needed to be built as the project progressed.
It is also critical in these projects to require early involvement by experts in both systems to be integrated. If experts or documentation for legacy applications are unavailable, then developers who can dig into an application and come up with a reasonable understanding quickly are crucial. The goal here is not to completely document an existing application, but to find the best way for it to communicate with the other applications. Avoid trying to isolate every data element at this point in the project (that will be reviewed in the next section).
How to Integrate
In my opinion, there is no single technology solution for all system integrations. I have done system integration projects that involved some or all of the following: RPG, COBOL, PL/I, Java, commands, stored procedures, and product-specific APIs and user exits. For some projects, choosing a technology is a simple decision. For example, if I were integrating into a product like Eclipse or one based on Eclipse technology, I would use the built-in extensibility features of Eclipse and deliver this as an Eclipse plug-in. At the other end of the spectrum, two RPG applications that need to talk to each other and that might also need to expose their data to other applications in the future could be integrated in a variety of ways.
This is where projects can quickly become a technical slugfest where people come with a variety of preferred (aka "best") techniques. Ask yourselves the following questions and your choices should be whittled down quickly:
• How complex is the system integration? Projects that involve exposing small sets of data from one application to another should consider different approaches than projects that expose virtually the entire user interface to the Web.
• What integration mechanism already exists in the application? Most in-house legacy systems tend to be built assuming little or no outside connectivity with other applications.
• What integration mechanisms exist in the application being targeted for integration? If integrating with a commercial application, development environment, or modernization tool, integration capabilities are often already built in. Those should be strongly considered as there is little point in reinventing the wheel without having a good reason to do so.
• What are the real-time data requirements? While most system integrations these days need to be real-time, some do not. Invoicing once a night may mean integrations can be done differently than if invoices are sent on demand. A business application requiring online ordering over the Web has different real-time data requirements than an internal application with a smaller set of users without time-critical data. Don't over-engineer just because you can.
• Does the integration involve just data or also business logic? Is the business logic and/or the data bi-directional? Certain techniques lend themselves better to bi-directional approaches. Some system integrations involve just exposing inventory data to a Web application for the customer and offering only viewing capabilities; others are fully transactional. These all have major impacts on which approach should or could be used.
• Do you need to align with organizational initiatives such as SOA? Could the development be shared by other existing or future projects, or is it really single use? If strictly single use, it is probably outside the bounds of SOA because a key aspect of most SOA initiatives is that components or APIs being developed need to be consumable or usable by other business applications or processes.
• What are the skills and interests of the team? Some developers struggle with the move to Java and object-oriented technologies. Do you have the right team in place to support the technology you choose?
Examine the above questions and make your choices, balancing the anticipated future needs with near-term project goals.
Project-Driven Process and Workflow
While process and workflow can conjure up images of SOX and audit requirements, having the right project management capabilities is important to system integration projects.
The disparate nature of most system integration projects means you will have two (or more) development teams building to the same end, and all need to be keenly aware of any changes to interfaces and the activities of others. One key here is to choose a risk-appropriate project-tracking and workflow approach and identify what is really important to manage, measure, and control. For smaller projects, a simpler workflow may be suitable. Whatever the project size, keep in mind that system integration projects often have higher visibility due to multiple development teams and outside resources being used and therefore may demand a management system that can provide visibility throughout the project and organization.
Ask yourself these questions:
• What is the risk of failure? Rolling out a new payroll application or a new online Web site may prove critical to your customer's success, and any failures could have significant revenue or legal repercussions. However, an internal application with a small set of (patient) users without great time sensitivity could represent much less risk.
• What data is important to be collected and reported? What is the cost to collect and present the data in a cohesive and/or customized fashion?
• What level of management needs to be kept informed of the project? Given the interdepartmental/cross-organizational aspect of projects, all managers should be looking at the same, not rival, project metrics.
• What level of involvement should be sought from the user community (and customer community, for externally visible applications)? For example, should they review alpha and/or beta releases of a new Web site? Would this be prudent, and how will they communicate their findings/experiences with development teams?
Based on the size and goals of the project, a commercial Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) solution can help deliver and manage much of the areas identified above. Choosing one that is flexible and robust enough to meet the needs of the variety of vested parties is critical to success.
Smooth Sailing
System integration projects can add significant complexity to project management. Key aspects of these system integration projects to understand include appropriate team structure, clear project objectives, separation of what needs to be integrated from how it is technically accomplished, and a method for choosing the best integration methodology based on the needs of the project. Finally, given the multi-disciplinary aspects of these projects, having the right mechanism in place to stay on top of the project is important to assure timely delivery of the agreed-upon requirements. If you include the aforementioned aspects of system integration projects into your plan, your next system integration project can go as smoothly as any other project.

|Actors and other entertainers are just as American as any other American citizen and have every right to voice their support of political candidates. I think those that are pissed off with celebrities supporting political candidates usually are just pissed that those said celebrities are not supporting their choice of candidate (usually a Republican being pissed off at Democrat celebrities imho). Good for these daytime stars to support Obama, hopefully our next President! However I do think it's a little distasteful to have his pic on underwear though, lol.

Sorry, guys, this SUCKS.
Why? Because it's so FUCKING biased. The soap press always cover Daytime for Choice but I rarely if EVER hear the flip side.
If there's no Daytime for McCain, or something, SOMETHING to offset the Dem message, then the soap press, including Mr. Fairman's Web site, sucks.It's not fair, it's heavy-handed and agenda-driven.
|Aug 20 2008, 02:32 AM Post #15
I don't mind this. It's their opinion. I'm sure some in Hollywood will do things for McCain. They are people just like us so why not?
The underwear thing is a bit tacky but it's original. Kay and Renton look hot. They all do. Berris is refreshing because he's just a normal person. He doesn't have the typical soap hunk body and I'm glad he doesn't shy away from it. He's very thin but some are really that way. I wish soaps had more people like him. I'm sick of having the typical "model-looking" stars.
|Aug 20 2008, 06:07 AM Post #16
Obviously, actors have a right to their political voice. But, I'm old-fashioned. I think the underwear thing cheapens the whole political process idea. If the Dems don't want Obama to have this "Britney Spears rock star image" like John McCain accused him of in an ad, this doesn't help. Course, it was a scandal when Bill Clinton went on Arsenio, too. :D
Just ditch the underwear. (WHOOPS! Let me rephrase that...................)

It really doesn't bother me, if a star wants to show their choice for president its their right. I don't however, like the underwear thing. I find it tacky lol. IMO I dont think BO would be too thrilled seeing his face imprinted on anyone ass.
I just don't like things like this lol. Like when people wear underwear or bra's that have the American Flag pattern on them. :huh:

Let me explain.
I'm NOT opposed to these stars voicing their opinion.
I AM, however, sick of seeing the soap press ignore the OTHER side.
You WILL alienate fans/readers/whatever, if you aren't fair (not as a star, as a media organization representing the stars' causes.)
This is FUCKING sick. Where's Daytime for McCain?!

Lil Wayne Previews "Murda" Video, Off "FWA"
Many fans enjoyed Lil Wayne's latest album, FWA, more than the two mixtapes he released this year. The album, however, only included one single, "Glory," and it was released exclusively on TIDAL, which likely significantly lessened its overall exposure. Weezy fans, and those still fighting for the rapper's freedom, though, will be happy to know that Wayne is planning to drop the video to "Murda," the FWA cut that features Capo, Cory Gunz, and reggae legend Junior Reid.
Cover Art & Release Date Revealed For Cory Gunz' "Datz WTF I'm Talkin Bout"
Cory Gunz has been silent for long enough, and he's ready to return to the game with his upcoming mixtape Datz WTF I'm Talkin Bout. The tape finally has a release date in sight, as well as cover art released today along with a mixtape trailer. Peep the trailer below, and the art above. Datz WTF I'm Talkin Bout is scheduld to drop on July 16th, stay tuned for leaks off the project in the near future.
Underrated Audio: April 9-15
This week's Underrated Audio is mainly composed of artists who are on the rise, from Toronto rapper Rich Kidd, to the Def Jam signee, August Alsina. Although most of these artists have yet to really establish themselves in the game (we can gloss over Cory Gunz, who also appears in UA this week), they delivered quality tracks this past week which we'd like to shine some more light on. Some of these were rated 'Very Hottttt' but still didn't reach a wide enough audience, and some, it seems just slipped under the radar.

|The hidden menace of cell phones and Cell Phone Radiation
|Using a cell phone for more than 10 years increases the risk of getting brain cancer, according to the most comprehensive study of the risks yet published.
The study – which contradicts official
pronouncements that there is no danger of getting the disease –
found that people who have had the phones for a decade or more are
twice as likely to get a malignant tumour on the side of the brain
where they hold the handset.
cell phone radiation
|The new study – headed by two Swedes, Professor
Lennart Hardell of the University Hospital in Orebro and Professor
Kjell Hansson Mild of Umea University, who also serves on the MTHR
program's management committee – goes some way to meeting the
The scientists pulled together the results of the 11 studies that have so far investigated the occurrence of tumours in people who have used phones for more than a decade, drawing on research in Sweden, Denmark Finland, Japan, Germany, the United States and Britain. They found almost all had discovered an increased risk, especially on the side of the head where people listened to their handsets.
Five of the six studies of malignant gliomas, cancers of the glial cells that support and protect the nerve cells, found an increased risk. The only one that did not still found an increase in benign gliomas. Four of the five studies that looked at acoustic neuromas – benign but often disabling tumours on the auditory nerve, which usually cause deafness – found them. The exception was based on only two cases of the disease, but still found that long-term users had larger tumours than other people.
The scientists assembled the findings of all the studies to analyze them collectively. This revealed that people who have used their phones for a decade or more are 20 per cent more likely to contract acoustic neuromas, and 30 per cent more likely to get malignant gliomas. The risk is even greater on the side of the head the handset is used: long-term users were twice as likely to get the gliomas, and two and a half times more likely to get the acoustic neuromas there than other people.
The scientists conclude: "Results from present studies on use of cell phones for more than 10 years give a consistent pattern of an increased risk for acoustic neuroma and glioma." They add that "an increased risk for other types of brain tumours cannot be ruled out".
Professors Hardell and Mild have also themselves carried out some of the most extensive original work into tumours among long-term cell phone users and have come up with even more alarming results. Their research suggests they are more than three times more likely to get malignant gliomas than other people, and nearly five times more likely to get them on the side of the head where they held the phone. For acoustic neuromas they found a threefold and three-and-a-half-fold increased risk respectively.
They have also carried out the only study into the effects of the long-term use of cordless phones, and found this also increased both kinds of tumours. Their research suggests that using a cell or cordless phone for just 2,000 hours – less than an hour every working day for 10 years – is enough to augment the risk.
Professor Mild told The Independent on Sunday: "I find it quite strange to see so many official presentations saying that there is no risk. There are strong indications that something happens after 10 years." He stressed that brain cancers are rare: they account for less than 2 per cent of primary tumours in Britain, though they are disproportionately deadly, causing 7 per cent of the years of life lost to the disease. "Every cancer is one too many," he said.
He said he uses a cell phone as little as possible, and urges others to use hands-free equipment and make only short calls, reserving longer ones for landlines. He also said that cells should not be given to children, whose thinner skulls and developing nervous systems make them particularly vulnerable.
The danger may be even greater than the new study suggests for, as Professor Mild says, 10 years is the "minimum" period needed by cancers to develop. As they normally take much longer, very many more would be likely to strike long-term users after 15, 20 or 30 years – which leads some to fear that an epidemic of the disease could develop in the coming decades, particularly among today's young people.
On the other hand, the professor points out that the amount of radiation emitted by phones has decreased greatly since the first ones came on the market more than a decade ago, which suggests that exposures and risks should also be falling. But he still recommended choosing phones that give out as little radiation as possible (see below), and pointed out that people are now also exposed to many other sources of radiation, such as masts and Wi-Fi systems, though these emit much less than cell handsets.
Britain's official Health Protection Agency – which has taken a cautious view of claims that radiation from cell phones, their masts and Wi-Fi installations can damage health – admits that the study "may be indicative" of a risk, but says that "such analyses cannot be conclusive".
The cell Operators Association said: "This is not new data for the World Health Organization and the many independent expert scientific committees who state that there are no established health risks from using cell phones that comply with international guidelines." Both sides agree that there is need for more research. Professor Mild said a possible link between cell phones and Alzheimer's disease should also be examined, since "we have indications that it might be a problem" as well as a possible link with Parkinson's disease, "which can't be ruled out".
In the meantime, the scientists want a revision of the emission standard for cells and other sources of radiation, which they describe as " inappropriate" and "not safe". The international standard is designed merely to prevent harmful heating of living tissue or induced electrical currents in the body – and does not take the risk of getting cancer into account. Professors Hansen and Mild serve on the international BioInitiative Working Group of leading scientists and public health experts, which this summer produced a report warning that the standard was "thousands of times too lenient".
The BioInitiative report added: "It has been established beyond reasonable doubt that some adverse health effects occur at far lower levels of exposure... some at several thousand times below the existing safety limits." It also warned that unless this is corrected there could be " public health problems of a global nature".

Cronenberg's three subsequent films were adaptations of transgressive literary or theatrical works. A longtime admirer of William S. Burroughs's avant-garde novel Naked Lunch, he wrote and directed a surreal 1991 film of the same name that was based on the novel as well as on Burroughs's life. With the romantic drama M.

As Prepared for Delivery
Thank you, Senator Rockefeller. I'm always flattered to be introduced by as great a leader as Senator Rockefeller. He's an amazing public servant who has served the state of West Virginia and the nation in an exemplary way.
I volunteered on his first campaign for governor when I was only 6, and interviewed him for my elementary school newspaper in the 6th grade. I'd like to think that our quality coverage was a decisive factor in his victory.
I'd also like to recognize and congratulate David Thompson on receiving the Alum of the Year award. It's well deserved.
Good afternoon, National Youth Science Camp!
I'm happy to get to speak with such an impressive group of students today, especially in the historic Kennedy Caucus Room.
As you've probably guessed, this room was named for President John F. Kennedy and his brothers. And it's the perfect place for this luncheon because scientific pioneering shaped Kennedy's presidency. He recognized the awesome power and impact of the scientific quest and inspired the nation to see it with him when we chose to go to the moon.
Ever since we took that giant leap, America has led the world in innovation and discovery. That fearless curiosity has made this country great, and as I look around this room, I know you all are the minds who are going to continue that legacy.
With Great Power…
For those of us who are just a little bit older, it can be sort of shocking to step back and look at how far we've come these last decades. When I was your age, few families had home computers, and we were years away from the Internet as you know it.
And now? Last month, a man who is paralyzed from the waist down kicked the first World Cup soccer ball using a robotic exoskeleton controlled only by his mind. Now, as far as I know, repulsor beams and flight were not involved, but suddenly a real-life Iron Man seems imaginable, doesn't it?
We are living in a time of discovery, diving deeper into our oceans and flying further into our universe than ever before.
But as President Kennedy noted, science "has no conscience of its own. Whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on man." And I would add that it depends on women as well.
You see, Kennedy didn't just oversee one of our greatest scientific achievements, he also faced down one of our biggest scientific threats: nuclear annihilation.
That is the dichotomy of all progress: What we do with it is up to us. It's up to you. We have to decide to use our knowledge to deliver positive impact to the world around us. We have to make sure that science serves humanity for good.
Or as Peter Parker's Uncle Ben would say, "With great power, comes great responsibility."
Science for the Greater Good
In my career, I have had the chance to see firsthand the incredible impact science can have on people's day-to-day lives.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, where I headed the Global Development Program, has a simple goal: to work toward "the idea that all people deserve the chance to live a healthy and productive life." The way we took on the barriers to healthy and productive lives was to build on a solid foundation of research and science.
We helped farmers grow crops more effectively and we found new tools to fight deadly diseases.
For example, when many Americans think about tuberculosis, they often picture Victorian women coughing into handkerchiefs. In developing countries, however, TB isn't some antiquated disease; it's a very current crisis. One third of the world's population is infected, and about 2 million people die from it every year. That's almost as much as the population of Chicago.
And while it's highly treatable, treatment is complicated, so few areas have the resources to make sure patients are successful.
We worked to help develop a number of innovative tools: new drugs, better diagnostic technologies, and most importantly, a more effective vaccine to prevent the spread in the first place.
We also took on the challenge of helping farmers lift themselves out of poverty. In the developing world, farmers struggle with poor soil quality, plant diseases, and drought. As a result, they have a hard time providing food for their communities and stability for their families.
To contribute to sustainable ways to increase farmers' yields, we turned to science. We supported research to find better ways to manage soil and water resources. We also worked on breeding better plants that could actually adapt to local conditions, like droughts and floods, while delivering better nutrition.
We even invested in developing plants that are resistant to certain natural killers, like Ug99, or "stem rust." It's a fungus that's wiping out entire wheat fields in Africa and the Middle East and it's devastating communities. Stem rust is very dangerous, but we're getting closer every day to breeding a wheat gene that's resistant.
I've also seen incredible advancements as a public servant, especially at HHS. Let me tell you about one of the many things we are doing that is particularly groundbreaking.
At the National Institutes of Health (NIH), they are currently in the process of mapping the human brain.
There's a lot we know about the brain—it's grey and lumpy; it's pretty big, compared to other animals'. But for all we know, even more remains a mystery.
We know our brains store facts, but we don't know how those facts are sorted and recalled.
We know we have intelligence, but not how it works. How do two unrelated ideas click together so you suddenly see a solution? How do we solve puzzles or figure out twist endings?
We know our range of emotions is unique, but we don't really understand them.
So NIH is creating a complete structural map of our brains, sort of like Google Earth. We will be able to zoom in and out, see how different parts interact, and watch what happens as we age.
With that knowledge, we may be able to unlock the secrets of dementia, Alzheimer's, and mental disorders. Who knows what we will discover inside our own heads?
You Write the Story
Discoveries like new vaccinations, smarter seeds, and the inner-workings of our minds don't just lead to articles or notoriety. They save lives. They change the world. They create an impact that changes the human story.
You all are going to write that story.
Maybe you'll stop the next global health threat. Maybe you'll discover a new energy source. Maybe you'll send us to Mars.
Or… maybe you'll run for office.
The work you do to impact the world doesn't have to be in a lab or a control room. We need intelligent, creative, nuanced thinkers in our nonprofits, in our corporations, and yes, in the House, Senate, and Oval Office.
From climate change, to health threats, to poverty, we have no shortage of challenges ahead of us. But students like you make it easy to be an optimist.
When we decided to go to the moon and dream of a bigger, brighter future through discovery and innovation, President Kennedy explained that we did those things, "not because they are easy, but because they are hard … because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win."
Looking around this room, I am excited by the opportunity that you all represent to harness science for the next generation of positive change.
Thank you.

If you have a slicing issue, try moving your front foot slightly closer to your golf ball. When you close your stance, you'll have a much better chance at keeping your initial shot on the fairway.
To keep your energy up on the golf course, you should bring a snack with you. Foods high in protein, like nuts and seeds, are the perfect golfing companion. Golf's a game that can make you very tired both mentally and physically. The extra calories and protein in your snack will help keep your mind honed in and your body less tired, giving you the energy necessary to complete all 18 holes.
Knowing how to mark your scores is essential in the game of golf. The importance of this is that your score is regularly used to determine your ability as a player. Scores are calculated by recording the number of strokes it takes to get the golf ball in the hole. You want to reach the hole in the least amount of strokes possible.
You can determine the best golf stance for yourself by doing this. It's crucial to have a good stance, but what stance works, depends on your overall size, height and gender. Knowing the best stance can better your game.
If you limit how far you back swing, you will maximize your power to the golf ball. Although pulling back the club will increase the power of your swing, when you swing back too far, you lose your correct posture and this can result in your missing the ball entirely or even cause an injury.
Don't use a golf cart to go from one hole to another. Walk instead. This will give you more exercise on the course and that is a great way to be in better shape. It can be very beneficial to your health. Walking also keeps you loose and warms up your muscles.
When you swing, use your hips to shift your weight from one foot to the other as you perform the move. Hip swing, a move where your weight is shifted from your back foot to your front foot, is a critical determinant in your golf swing.
Flexible, limber and strong arms are essential to good golf swings. This involves strength training, stretching, and getting regular massages. A good massage will make your body more flexible, and help you improve your golf swing. Practicing yoga is also helpful in limbering the torso and arms for a good, smooth swing.
When you practice enough you can avoid slicing. The problem lies in improper contact between the clubface and ball during the hit, which results in right-direction curvature. Keep your shoulders, hips and knees parallel to your target line. Rather than using your body and shoulders on the downswing, use your hands and arms.
Despite what a lot of folks will tell you, keep a consistent position for all your shots. Using the same position may make it easier for you to shoot consistently. When you need to allow for more loft in your clubs, you can bring your trailing foot towards the lead and increase the loft, but maintain that ball position while doing so. This will give you the ability to use the right club for each shot.
There are many reasons why golf has maintained its appeal for decades. Improve your game immediately by applying some of the above advice.
I hope you determined this small Golfing Pro Tips and Tricks piece of writing helpful. When you are anxious to hunt for a new golf push cart or maybe a golf pull cart make sure you check out my evaluations by clicking right here. "See you on the Greens"

Former Amarillo City Commissioner Daniel Martinez will run for City Commission Place 3.
That seat is currently held by Robert Keys, who has not announced whether he will run again or not.
Martinez announced his candidacy at a news conference Wednesday at the City Commission Chambers.
Martinez said he decided to run at the urging of members of the community.
"People wouldn't let me lay it down or rest," he said. "We have a great city. One thing we're lacking is diversity. I'm approachable and I'm involved in the community. My home is here, my business is here. I feel like I'm on top of what's going on."
Martinez served on the City Commission in Place 1 from 2003 to 2005. He lost a bid for re-election to current Commissioner Madison Scott.
