I agree. But having said that, if an RNAi directed against IAPV works as an effective treatment, it doesn't matter much what you and I may think.
I agree. But having said that, if an RNAi directed against IAPV works as an effective treatment, it doesn't matter much what you and I may think.
we have hit a logical roadblock here.
if ccd is iapv, then there is no need to study what ccd is.
since not all cases offically designated as ccd have tested positive for iapv, then we know that what we are calling "ccd" is not always iapv...even if it is in some cases.
does rnai for iapv "cure" or "prevent" ccd from other causes?
do we simply say that ccd is not ccd if it is not caused by iapv? so what is the cause in those cases? is rnai for iapv effective for some unknown reason in these cases?
Beeologics infected colonies with IAPV (not sure how they grew virus and verified purity) and found that they had CCD like symptoms. They then fed Remebee and found a significant reduction of bee death.
I think all of you guys that are being critical would benefit from reading the paper. I have no interest in defending Remebee or an IAPV association to CCD. The paper is available to read and if you want to criticize the study I will join in -> I think it was a terrible paper.
I remember a comment by one of my professors in internal medicine where he stated, "You will all find when you get into practice, that you will make more mistakes because you didn't try than you will make by doing the wrong thing."
The biggest problem I see is that we cannot even predict which hives might collapse or not.
So they give a group of hives the "vaccine." And they give another group of hives a placebo. None of the hives from either group shows any symptoms of CCD. Was the vaccine a "success?" Or not?
Not only do we not know what causes CCD, we don't even know how to reproduce the symptoms. In the case of Jenner, at least he knew that exposure to persons with small pox was likely to make others develop small pox. We don't know if exposure to hives that died of CCD causes CCD, or if exposure to anything "causes" CCD.
Long story short, we don't even know whether or not CCD is communicable, much less what might cause it.
Making a vaccine for CCD at this point might be akin to making a vaccine for human heart failure.
Rumor has it that a novel virus may be associated with CCD collapsing colonies. March ABJ p239
John B Jacob www.oldsolbees.com
Am I understanding correctly, they challenged bee hives with live IAPV first, and seemed to get CCD? Where was their report of that?!? You "solve" one of the biggest mysteries in recent beekeeping, and yet that result gets relegated to a side note in another paper?
P. S. The link to the journal article just resulted in "error" messages for me.
(1), 5560
Blackwell Publishing Ltd
IAPV, a bee-affecting virus associated with Colony
Collapse Disorder can be silenced by dsRNA ingestion
E. Maori*, N. Paldi, S. Shafir, H. Kalev, E. Tsur*,
E. Glick and I. Sela*
Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) has been associated
with Israeli acute paralysis virus (IAPV). CCD poses a
serious threat to apiculture and agriculture as a whole,
due to the consequent inability to provide the necessary
amount of bees for pollination of critical crops. Here
we report on RNAi-silencing of IAPV infection by
feeding bees with double-stranded RNA, as an efficient
and feasible way of controlling this viral disease. The
association of CCD with IAPV is discussed, as well as
the potential of controlling CCD.
I would ask...if the bees in the hive were administered a vaccine, how would that transfer to the next round of bees. If the bees in a hive only live 6 weeks, how would a vaccine protect bees in the future ?
Thanks for the citation, HVH. I did find the paper, and read through it.
From what I read, they suggest that IAPV can cause symptoms similar to CCD. From there, the authors infer that preventing IAPV might prevent some CCD-like symptoms.
I think Michael Palmer raises a valid question regarding this vaccine. Might be quite a money-maker if beekeepers find they have to continually feed this vaccine to bees, rather than a once-and-done type method.
Could be, but I've heard that one of the big commercial guys that got hit pretty hard by CCD chose to breed from his bees that survived, and he and one of the state inspectors here claim that those resulting bees are far better than his bees before getting hit with CCD.
I doubt he would pay $2/month/hive.
My hope is that we learn something from this sort of research, though, and maybe getting some understanding of what can cause the sorts of losses attributed to CCD.
My bees have ccd for 2 years
It is most unpleasant having >60% die off
It certainly seems infectious
It is NOT nosema, unless
4 seperate tests all were incorrect
(OBA tech transfer, BP -- no nosema detected)
I suspect that those whose bees
don't have ccd are those who don't
believe ccd is infectious
I would like to hear from a "sufferer"
who thinks it is not infectious

Managing Your Health Care
A Answers (2)
Statistically, men are less likely to seek a doctor's care for health problems, to "soldier on" past health disruptions even when it's clearly not in their best interest to do so. This can often mean that we don't seek help for a problem early enough to effectively treat it. But most men under the age of 75 do sit up and take notice when their sexual health is at stake.
It's not just the psychological makeup of men that creates this gender bias against preventative healthcare. It's also the way our healthcare system is set up. As children, most American girls and boys see a pediatrician regularly until around age 18. Then young women typically transition to an obstetrician/gynecologist for continuing regular care.
But men often drop out of the system, seeking care only when faced with acute illness or injury, until they reach an age when health issues force them back into the system...or a concerned spouse or significant other does.

Counting the days

Numbers man: Adam Spencer. Photo: Marco Del Grande
Triple J mathematician and broadcaster Adam Spencer is signing off.
It's 7.40am and Adam Spencer is explaining Einstein's theory of relativity to his Triple J listeners.
"You know how you have to sometimes go see a chick flick with your girlfriend. Well, Einstein went to the theatre one night to see whatever their version of Love Actually was back then and, at the end of the show, he complained about how slowly the time had passed. This stunned his girlfriend, who thought the two hours had just flown by. That, my friend, is relativity."
It's a pretty good bet that no other FM breakfast radio team in Australia was discussing Einstein last week or, for that matter, double dissolutions, preferential voting and the difference between taxes and levies. At least, not all at once and in a way that managed to be both funny and informative.
If you haven't heard Spencer and Wil Anderson on Triple J, you are almost too late. There are just 44 shows left before they hang up their headsets for good on November 26.
For Spencer, 35, it will mark the end of an unexpected but satisfying eight-year relationship with the ABC youth station. He was heavily into pure mathematics at Sydney University in 1996 when he landed a spot on the breakfast show by chance. Helen Razer and Mikey Robins were doing an outside broadcast at the university and Spencer offered himself up from the crowd to read the weather. The producer was so impressed by his quick wit - "Sydney 22, the square root of 484, Melbourne, 22, the cube root of 10,648" - that he was offered further work. Three years later, he found himself in the breakfast hot seat competing with seasoned performers such as Wendy Harmer and Andrew Denton. Anderson joined the show full-time the following year.
Spencer has no plans for the future other than to spend more time with his off-air partner, Mel. "For the first time in a long time I'm in a relationship that's working and fun," he says. He and Dr Karl Kruszelnicki have proposed a new science show on ABC TV and he'd like to make a feature film "about a great mathematician who led a bizarre and amazing life".
Spencer says his only regret on leaving the show is the lack of recognition Triple J gets for providing a genuine alternative in both its music and talk content for the under-35 audience.
"This place does a really important job and it doesn't always do it as well as it could but the appalling lack of objectivity with which the media analyses radio is unbelievable," he says. "When the Nova network burst onto the scene there were all these gush pieces being written by people saying, 'This is awesome, sounds different, a rock'n'roll tune and then dance music, Nova's great.' Well Triple J's been doing that for 25 f---ing years a lot better than they do, and Nova didn't sound different at all - kind of late '80s Triple M stuff." Obviously a job at Nova is not high on Spencer's list.

There is not enough free space.
Am I at fault here or is the machine? Kinda disappointed I can't even play two games on a two day old console.
Re: There is not enough free space.[ Edited ]
Welcome to the GT forum, sargentsticky!
You have to realise what you bought. Even the original 20 Gb model had hard drive space limitations. I don't know a lot about this particular PS3 model, but if you can add another hard drive for more installations and storage, then you had better figure out how to do that, otherwise the console will have to be used more for media playing, as many PS3 games make big installs.
[edit] If the store where you bought it allows returns, I would recommend returning this one and getting one that has a reasonable amount of hard drive space (bigger is usually much better). If you want to only play a few small games and if you are content to use the console mainly as a media player, then it is still one of the best Blu-ray players around.
Re: There is not enough free space.
The 12gb is an entry level with a flash drive and is decieving on what it can do. There should be a diclamer on the box that say it is a Blue Ray player with the ability to save a game or two. By the time you get a ExHD and set it up you have spent more than the HD equipt PS3 cost.
Re: There is not enough free space.
Wow - 12 GB? I never knew the PS3 had that small of a HD...that's about the amount of space I have left on my 60 GB system lol. I'm in agreement with MastrGT on this one though...try to return the system to where you got it (hopefully they allow exchanges/refunds), and opt for getting at the bare minimum, a 20 GB, which will leave you with roughly 15 GB left over after setting everything up. If you get around to playing GT5, I think you'll really enjoy it.

Re: There is not enough free space.
I had to google 12GB PS3 to even know one was real. LOL
apparently there is one of the newest (superslim) model ps3 sold with only 12GB in some regions.
It does seem kinda silly to me, after all you can set Playstation Home to reserve up to 12GB just as a cache for downloaded spaces, etc. I upgraded mine to a 500GB drive and it's well over half full.
I would really recommend to the OP or any one ofr that matter exchanging for a model with more storage or upgrading it yourself. I assume you can still do that with the superslims.

Re: There is not enough free space.
As far as I know; the 12 GB models are PAL; not available in the North American region. It shouls be fairly straight-foward to instal/upgrade.
Found this guide for replacing/upgrading hard disk for 12 GB and 500 GB superslim PS3s on the UK Playstation support page.
Re: There is not enough free space.[ Edited ]
Re: There is not enough free space.
If you can't be bothered with the hassle to upgrade; the Unchartered 3 GOTY Edition 250 GB PS3 bundle is for US$ 269.99 MSRP
Re: There is not enough free space.
MS selling a 4GB box is a little more understandable than SONY selling a 12GB PS3 because most if not all games require a hefty install for PS3's. Xbox will let you run off of the disc.
still, the 4gb and 12gb systems respectively seem like more or less rip-offs.

Toilet training is a milestone in any child's life but it can also be an extremely stressful experience for both the parents and the toddler. We're so used to having control over our bladders and bowels and knowing when to go that it's hard to understand how tricky it can be for our little ones to master toilet training. One of the most important things is to have patience. Here are some tips that might help:
There's no point in trying to train your child to use the potty until they are ready, so it's important to recognise the signs. These include telling you that their nappy is dirty and disliking having a wet or soiled nappy; having dry periods of at least two hours; showing an interest in other people's bathroom habits; and showing signs that they need to go, such as clutching their nappies.
Learn to spot the signs that your child needs to urinate or defecate and see if they will get on the potty as soon as possible. If you can whisk them on quickly and they go, they will understand the connection between the sensation of needing to go and using the potty.
Don't force your child to sit on the potty if they don't want to. They could end up feeling traumatised and associate the potty with feeling upset, which will set back toilet training.
Rewarding your child for using the potty is a contentious subject. Some
parents swear by it and find things such as star charts, with the promise of a toy or treat, provide great motivation. Others don't want to get into the habit of offering rewards for getting the hang of a natural, ongoing process – when do you stop rewarding them? Whether you use rewards or not, do praise them whenever they sit on the toilet – even if they don't manage to go.
Don't punish them if they have an accident while they're nappy-free. They won't have done it deliberately and getting cross at them about accidents may make them want to go back to wearing a nappy.
It's not a wise idea to start toilet training if you or your child are going through a
stressful or difficult time. For example if you're moving house, changing jobs, returning to work or having a new baby, this may not be the right time. If your child has been sick – especially if they've had stomach upsets causing diarrhoea – hold off until things are more settled.
Encourage your child to sit on the potty or toilet for 15 to 30 minutes after eating
or drinking. This is when they may need to relieve themselves. If they do something in the potty, praise them. If not, don't make them stay there in the hope they will go.
When they poo in their nappy, let them see you dumping it in the toilet and flushing it away. Tell them that's where poos go so they make the association.
Make sure your child's clothes are suitable for potty training. Avoid anything that is difficult to get off in a hurry, such as dungarees or romper suits, and encourage them to practise undressing quickly so they can use the potty.
When you first start potty training boys, get them to sit on the toilet when they wee. It's too hard for them to master everything to start with. Standing up and learning to aim can come later, with practice.
Talk to all your child's caregivers. Have a chat with daycare staff, babysitters and grandparents about how you are dealing with toilet training, to make sure you are all doing the same thing. Consistency is important.
Don't be frustrated if your child is doing bowel motions in the potty but still wetting themselves. They generally get more warning from their body about needing to do a poo and the sensation is more easily recognisable (especially if they are passing wind) while the feeling that they need to wee can be less obvious. Plus the muscles around the bowel are better at holding in substances than those around the bladder are at containing liquid.
Don't panic if it seems to be taking your child longer to stay dry than other kids their age. Some children just take longer – it doesn't mean there is something wrong with them or you are a useless parent. Just keep encouraging and praising them without making a big deal about it.
Most kids will start potty training at two-and-a-half to three years, though it can be earlier if they seem ready. If your three-year-old shows no inclination at all to use a potty or toilet despite lots of positive encouragement, you may want to talk to your doctor. It's also a good idea to get your child checked out if they have been fully trained for some time and then seem to regress and start wetting themselves regularly. It could be due to a urinary infection or even a response to stress.

Big House Memories: Cheer Team Seniors Look Back
Nov. 29, 2013
For a group of seniors on the Michigan cheerleading team, Saturday's (Nov. 30) football game against Ohio State will be their last opportunity to perform on the field at Michigan Stadium. Before their final game the seniors share their favorite moments about performing in front of 109,901 people.
Lindsay Allen
Rochester, Mich.
- When I think of cheering at Michigan Stadium, I always think of the first Under the Lights game against Notre Dame. It was electric. Not only was the crowd as loud as I've ever heard it, but they all were waving their yellow poms, which looked awesome across the stadium. I also think of the rush of excitement that I get when we run out of the tunnel and the beginning of every game. It never gets old.
Angie Salow
Milan, Mich.
- It starts with the rush of adrenaline you get as you are waiting in the tunnel to take the field and the bass drums start beating. You find yourself running full speed down the tunnel just to stop suddenly at the entrance to the field. You look at the 110,000-plus fans in the stadium, realize you aren't breathing, gasp, start your 120-yard sprint to your hash mark, and so begins the time of your life.
Chris Fraga
Lake Orion, Mich.
- My favorite memory is the first time I ran out on to the field at the Big House. The atmosphere felt so different than sitting in the stands. I remember the roar of the 110,000-plus people cheering on Michigan. I remember the rush of running out onto the field and performing for Michigan. I remember the nerves and butterflies I had in my stomach. I remember the sun shining on a beautiful day in Ann Arbor. I felt at home cheering for Michigan.
Daniel Marvicsin
Farmington Hills, Mich.
- Having only one season to draw on, one part really stands out: waiting in the tunnel, shoulder-to-shoulder with the band, singing the Alma Mater and belting out "Eye of the Tiger." That's the first thing that came to mind and it will probably stick with me the longest.
A.J. Rodriguez
Grand Blanc, Mich.
- My favorite memory will always be running out of the tunnel on football Saturdays with the M flag and seeing more than 100,000 fans on their feet chanting Hail to the Victors.
Hayley Glauben
Bellaire, Texas
- When I think of cheering at Michigan Stadium, I remember my first game when the band cleared out of the tunnel and I saw the loud, abundant, maize fans surrounding me in the Big House.
Shannon Niznak
Livonia, Mich.
- When I think about cheering at Michigan Stadium, I think about it pouring rain at the breast cancer awareness game my junior year and winning in overtime with my dripping wet pink bow in my face.
Kenneth Krebs
White Lake, Mich.
- It's a little different, but when I think about cheering at Michigan Stadium, I can't help but think about the time when the game got really boring because we were winning by so much so fans started heckling me for not hitting a reverse hands to cupie. They started booing me and getting really into what I was doing. It was the first time I ever realized somebody might be watching what we are doing.

Muslim school officials attack news crew in Twin Cities
posted at 8:45 pm on May 19, 2008 by Ed Morrissey
I've followed the story about the Tarik ibn Zayad Academy and allegations that it abuses its status as a state-funded charter school to teach Islam instead of a public-school curriculum for the last six weeks. Katherine Kersten first brought the story to our attention, for which local journalists have begun petitioning the Star Tribune to fire her. The state department of education found several potential issues for violation of laws intending to keep public schools from providing religious instruction, and notified the school today that it had to make changes to its Friday prayer efforts and the lack of transportation service for students who opt out of prayers, among other issues.
Local ABC affiliate KSTP has also continued to update the reporting on this story. Today they went to the school to determine how TiZA would respond to the state's demand for corrective action. Instead, they found themselves at the center of the story as two TiZA officials attacked the news crew and stole their camera:
In an attempt to report about the new findings from the Department of Education, 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS went to TiZA. While on school grounds, our crew was attacked by school officials. The two men were able to grab our camera and kept it until police arrived.
Our photographer was treated by paramedics after suffering minor injuries. …
Tarik ibn Zayad Academy, which focuses on Middle Eastern culture and shares a mosque with the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, came under fire after a teacher alleged that the school was offering religious instruction in Islam to its students.
KSTP has a video report on their website. The tape starts off pleasantly, as the children run up to the camera to smile and wave, just like children anywhere would do. One man walks rapidly towards the camera and grabs it, while another unseen man assaults the cameraman. Later, the police would retrieve the camera, and the video shows the police cars responding to the emergency call from the news crew.
The action by the MnDoE should make clear that Kersten had the story essentially right. Local journalists attempting to intimidate her and the Strib — which has thus far refused to submit to this bullying — have some explaining to do. If she had written a story about a charter school illegally giving instructions in the Catholic or Mormon faith, these same journalists would have nominated her for an award.
Next, the MnDoE should seriously reconsider this school's accreditation in light of the attack on KSTP's news crew. If nothing else, it calls into question whether the administrators should have children in their care at a state-funded charter school, given their temperament. They conducted this assault in full view of the students. If TiZA continues to employ these two men, the state should pull all funding from the academy.
Update: Michelle's been following this story as well.

The Qur'an is pure unadulterated bigotry and should not be allowed as a teaching tool for children.

That thing called the Constitution is there for a reason you know…
Darth Executor on May 20, 2008 at 8:08 AM
The Constitution is not a suicide pact. Islam is abusive to women and children and in its pure form mandates the destruction and subjugation of all kafirs – meaning you and me.
On the same bases that the FLDS "compound" can be raided and its children taken away, these outfits will be raided and shut down some day. Not this year, not the next, but I wouldn't be surprised if Ilive to see it.

Got my own way this year. Last had a bmw 6 years ago, a 1992 E36 318i. My wife passed her test 5 years ago and picked our last 2 cars, a mk3 mondeo (not a bad car for a ford) and a freelander (the devils work).
So my turn, an E46 318i SE with 17'' wolfrace alloys. I fell in love with it and had to have it. Brought it home and in retrospect I paid too much for it, but it looks and drives like the dogs bollocks.
My wife refused to drive it the first week (called it a piece of snobby shit) as she still had the freelander, till' the ebay mug picked it up.
After a few days of driving our bimmer, she is now a bmw convert. Just hope the economy picks up as iv'e seen her watching X5's on ebay!

Cute cottage, lovely place. Unfortunately, Andreas was not there, we always find it nice to get some tips from the host, but everything was well organized. Metro, bus and shops to reach trough the park in a minute or 5-6, from there a few stops to the center. The metro stations of the blueline are worth worth seeing. Only comment about the cottage: the path to it is quite a bit of climbing. Stockholm is beautiful, and the combination of big city and stay as if you are in the forest is fantastic!. Andreas, thank you for accepting us as your guests!
The apartment is very nice with a market and transportation service very close. The sea is nerby and that is very great.
Andreas is attentive and friendly guy.
The WiFi Connection is not bad but is not the best.
I recommend this place, do not doubt reserve.
Thanks Andreas for all.
Good Location, near a small habour and only 4 stops by tunnelbanna from Gamla Stan. (If you take the shotcut through the Wood behind the house you are at the Underground in about 5 minutes).Nice little house, everything you need for your stay, you can buy right beside the underground Station (COOP-Shop). The kitchen is well equiped and the living room is small but with a great look to the area. We enjoyed the stay very much, it was like at home but with the great connection to a marvellous city. Andreas was great, he showed us all necassary things (including washing machine, fuse-box: was very helpful for us!!). He was acquirable for us all the time, but it was not necassary. It was a comfortable relationship between guest and renter. Surely you can hear a little bit the traffic of the area, but on my opinion you have to accept this to be close to the center. But you have really no nerve-stretching neighbours. :-) The area was also very secure, we left also washed clothes outside the house and nothing was stolen. And sometimes we came home late, but all the ways were lightened up very bright. The 1. way to the house was also exactly as descriped from Andreas before arrival. So have a nice stay, as we had. :-)
We loved the stay in Stockholm! This accomodation is really lovely and comfortable. Especially the kitchen is useful, because food in the city is very expensive. Additionally the closeness to the metro station is great, so you only need about 15 minutes to the central station.
Unfortunately the internet is slowly sometimes, so you better don't need wifi.
My boyfriend and I absolutely loved staying in this mini cottage - it was, for us, the perfect place to stay whilst holidaying in Stockholm. We were able to make our own breakfast and cooked dinner there every day, which helped on the pocket as Sweden is not the cheapest of places to visit. The only problem we had was with the wi-fi - we had to leave the cottage to connect and look up travel info and check e-mails, etc - if you're desperate to be connected all the time then this isn't the place for you - we didn't let it ruin our holiday though and in fact embraced the fact we weren't constantly connected to the world wide web!
A short walk through the woods took us straight to a great supermarket as well as a metro station which then only took us 10 minutes to get into the city centre - so even though on the map this looks a little far out, it really isn't at all!
My favourite thing about staying here was the fact the water was just 1 minute from our cottage - we were able to go swimming in the sea with the locals in the sunshine - it was just perfect and I would stay here again in a flash!
Thanks again Andreas - maybe see you next time I'm in Sweden.
Very charming cottage containing all you need for a nice stay. With the underground we were quickly in Stockholm City taking the "way" directly behind the cottage. Whenever we will travel to Stockholm again, we will definitely get in touch with Andreas again.
Sehr süßes kleines Ferienhaus mit toller Lage fast direkt am Wasser. Die Innenstadt ist gemütlich zu Fuß zu erreichen, aber auch die Verkehrsanbindung ist super (UBahn).
Andreas ist ein engagierter Vermieter, ansprechbar und sehr hilfreich.
Wir hatten wunderbare Tage in Stockholm.
Ein süßes kleines Häuschen direkt am Wasser und seeeehr waldnah! Bis zur City ist es nicht weit (10min zu Fuß bis zur Ubahnstation und von da aus sind es nur 4 Stationen in die Stadt). Besonders toll ist die großzügige terasse!
Einen Minuspunkt gibt es: kein w-lan.
Ansonsten war die Kommunikation mit Andreas super! Er hat immer schnell geantwortet und geholfen!

But Juninho gives Red Bulls that type of quality, Roxburgh says
By Michael Lewis
BigAppleSoccer.com Editor
Juninho isn't a designated player, but that doesn't matter one iota to Andy Roxburgh.
The Red Bulls sporting director talked about the veteran Brazilian midfielder as though he was one on Monday.
"He is like one. We definitely got one," Roxburgh said during a conference call. "But he [doesn't have] that sort of label on him."
Roxburgh later added: "He is part of our roster as a standard player, which is bit of a great bonus for us."
Of course, standard never would be the best way to describe Juninho, who turns 38 on Jan. 30, and his ability to take free kicks.
"Juninho played 50 games in a row in the Brazilian First Division," Roxburgh said. "He's in great condition. He's a great athlete. He almost defies age. And he's a top, top player.
"He's a very humble, hard working lad. He brings a quality to us. And this is apart from the free kick expertise -- he's one of of the best on the planet -- when it comes to taking set plays. He's also a very creative player. He is a very important player to add to our roster."
Roxburgh said Juninho joined the Red Bulls "because we sold him the idea that this was an interesting franchise to be part of and that the MLS would be a wonderful experience for him. He was very happy with all of that. It was also the family side of it, lifestyle element. Juninho has come here, you could say, to invest in MLS."
With Rafa Marquez' departure for Leon in the Mexican First Division, the Red Bulls have three DPs -- striker Thierry Henry and midfielder Tim Cahill -- so there is room for one more.
New York hasn't said when it will add the third.
"Of course, all options are open to add a designated player," Roxburgh said. "Whether we do it right now or not, that's the discussion. Whether we hold off and do it at the middle of the season, come June or July, that is also possible. We leave our options open on it."
Roxburgh was enthused about the Red Bulls' midfield.
"When you think of people like Dax McCarty on the other hand, an American lad who has done really well for this squad here, what we're starting to look at it is an interesting balance," he said. "Tim Cahill is a different type of player from either of those. Slowly but surely its coming together here."

David Dann returns to the remix duties for his latest release, this time taking on the melancholy Radiohead original "Everything in its Right Place" with punchy progressive flair. Dann's finesse in the studio works in his favor here, allowing him to transform the original track without sacrificing its haunting soundscape. Juxtaposing Thom Yorke's dark and brooding vocal cuts with pulsating progressive pops, Dann works to create a dancefloor-worthy track crafted for dingy warehouse parties and underground after hours.

Kristen Stewart to star in 'The Big Shoe'
The actress will join Elizabeth Banks and Jim Sturgess for the film.
Los Angeles: Actress Kristen Stewart will be seen in an erotic comedy genre for her next movie, 'The Big Shoe'. The 22-year-old, who is best known for her portrayal of Bella in the 'Twilight Saga' series, will be working with
helmer Steven Shainberg for the upcoming project, reported Aceshowbiz.
The actress will join Elizabeth Banks and Jim Sturgess for the film.
Marking Shainberg's first film since 2006's 'Fur', the comedy is described as a combination of "eroticism and humor in the same vein" as the director's 2002 pic 'Secretary'.
'The Big Shoe' follows Nate, a gifted shoe designer who is forced to break free from a family who wants to cheapen his art for their own commercial gain. His overbearing mother Irene hires a psychotherapist and a 'muse' to lure Nate back
to work.
Tackling the part of Nate will be Sturgess, while Stewart and Banks will play the 'muse' and the psychotherapist respectively. The film will kick off on June 17.

Snake keeps track of his stuff, that's why he looks so cool.
Hideo Kojima is perhaps one of the most well-known figure whole of the gaming industry. Bringing players some of the best games anyone can provide, Kojima had carved out quite a name for himself.
Of course, Kojima is probably most famous for his works on Metal Gear Solid and his wacky games that has the storyline scattered all over the different games which eventually led to some confusion for many players out there. However, during a recent interview done by Eurogamers, it seems that the players aren't just the ones that are confused.
Anyone who had played more than 2 games of Metal Gear Solid would realise something: the storyline doesn't flow. It happens so that Metal Gear Solid 3 takes place after Metal Gear Solid 1 and 2, while Metal Gear Solid 4 takes place after all the 3. Of course, along the way, there are plenty other Metal Gear games and it makes it extremely difficult for anyone sane to keep track of what's happening here and there.
Before you guys start thinking about which storylines fits each other, here's a video to start it off:
Apparently, Kojima had also encountered with the same problems as many players would: getting messed up because of all the jumping of timelines.
Actually, strange you ask, because I personally get confused too about the whole timeline and saga of Metal Gear Solid. This is especially tricky when you create the future first and then go back in time to create something new. There are a lot of small aspects where sometimes it doesn't match completely.
Oh, Kojima, we understand how it is like. It has been mindblowing to play your games as I try to match up what's happening.
Other than the whole issue of getting confused with his own storyline, Kojima had shed some light on the upcoming Metal Gear games. Peace Walker for the PSP will be related to the original storyline, while the newer Metal Gear Rising will be on a completely different storyline that takes place in the future. Other than that, nothing much came out from the famous game maker as he had been known to have kept his lips tight about his games be extremely busy.

Any time a mid-season trade takes place, an immediate impact on the sports betting lines will occur. This morning Randy Moss, an explosive athlete who impacts an entire offense, was traded from the New England Patriots to the Minnesota Vikings. When the story broke last night that he would likely be dealt, many books jumped on the news and began increasing their over/under line for the Monday Night match-up between the Jets and Vikings. Both Pinnacle and Olympic increased their over/under line a point within three minutes of each other shortly after 8:30PM Tuesday night, while Cris jumped 1.5 points early Wednesday morning once the trade became official. With the Jets reputation of having a fierce defense, this trade obviously had a major effect on the over/under betting line.
Surprisingly, the trade of Randy Moss has yet to have an effect on the spread for the Vikings-Jets tilt. It will be interesting to monitor the spread as the game approaches and news is released on how much, if it all, Randy Moss will play Monday Night against Darrelle Revis and the New York Jets.

But in this case, the company didn't send me any order confirmation email. I only paid about $5 shipping using my debit card.

These scams have fooled me by sending the trial as they promised but they secretly took my money without informing me.

The Pitt tennis team (4-7, 0-7 ACC) will host the No. 8-ranked North Carolina Tarheels on Friday and the top-ranked Duke Blue Devils on Sunday at Alpha Tennis & Fitness. Friday's match is set to begin at 2 p.m. and Sunday's match begins at 10 a.m.
"We are fortunate to be hosting two of the best programs in college tennis this weekend," said head coach Alex Santos. "To have UNC, the No. 8 team in the country, and Duke, the No. 1 team in the country, in Pittsburgh is historical and will help us keep elevating the standards of our program. The quality of tennis will be incredibly high and definitely worth watching.
"We are expecting the highest level of challenge from both teams, and we are keeping our focusing on embracing that challenge and taking care of the things we do well. Doubles will be crucial in terms of setting the tone early in the match. We have our own agenda of goals that we want to accomplish, but only with tremendous belief and sacrifice will we have the option to be proud at the end of the weekend."
North Carolina enters the weekend with a 17-3 overall record and is 6-1 in ACC action. They are led by the No. 1-ranked singles player in the nation, Jamie Loeb and seventh-ranked Hayley Carter. The duo form the third-ranked doubles team in the country.
Duke comes into the weekend with an eight-match win streak and a 16-1 overall record. The Blue Devils' lone loss on the season came in a 5-2 loss on the road at No. 13 Virginia. Sophomore Beatrice Capra ranks at No. 5 in the latest ITA singles rankings.
Pitt freshman Audrey Ann Blakely remained in the rankings for the second consecutive time, sitting at No. 114.
Admission to all home Pitt tennis matches is free. At Sunday's match with Duke, the first 100 fans in attendance will receive Pitt roller banners.

TheNorthFaceWarehouseSale.netInternet USA
TheNorthFaceWarehouseSale.net Counterfeit product website posing at North Face official website China China
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Received an email from something called thenorthfacewarehousesale.net, advertising North Face winter jackets for sale at up to 50% off. This was in early April, so it didn't seem implausible. When I ordered the jacket, the invoice and the other documents I received in my email all had the official looking The North Face red-background logo on them. Upon very close examination I noted (much later on when I became suspiciousk) that the trademark sign on the logo looked like it had been erased or at least reduced to where it was not visible at normal reading. The jacket was delivered to the US from China, which made me start thinking -- my wife had the same jacket in the women's version and it was made in El Salvador. The jacket I ordered was recieved at the USPS ISC in New York on April 20, where it has remained. No other information is available from the post office concerning the tracking number I received in an emai from the vendor. Plus, paymnet was through something called TenpayGlobal, which I never heard of before. Comments on consumer complaint bulletin boards state that any product received internationally that is held in the USPS ISC in New York for more than 2-3 days has probably been seized due to it containing contraband or being counterfeit. I have an open email to the customer service of these guys plus an emai to the official North Face website (thenorthface.com) requesting information on this item and this suspect website. I have also alerted my credit card company and had the charge ($94.42) placed in dispute. The credit card company will be mailing me the paperwork to enter the dispute. Replies from the official northface website and the bogus website will be sent to the credit card company with the paperwork. I will provide an update as soon as more information is avaiable.
In my opinion, North Face needs to do a better job of policing the web for counterfeit companies that use their name or part of their name in a website (and even a doctored logo). The bogus website was a .net site, not a .com site, but everything looked legit, right down to that highly recognizable North Face logo.

Cramme, Olaf (2011) The current EU fatalism underestimates the resilience of the system, and a focus on personalities obscures the real imperative for organisational reform. British Politics and Policy at LSE (22 Jun 2011) Blog Entry.
- Published Version
Download (47Kb) | Preview
Tony Blair recently spoke out on the need for Europe to have 'strong collective leadership and direction' through the creation of an elected president. His remarks come at a time of prevailing EU fatalism and, while it might be attractive to pin Europe's woes on personality dysfunctions, real leadership will not come in quick fixes. Olaf Cramme argues that only slow moving organisational adjustment will do the trick.

d. Image gallery: http://imgur.com/a/MnI8r Click top right corner for larger image
e. Person placing ad: Me, rambleon84 aka, Stephen
f. PM me or post here.
First four images from gallery are "Wheel One." I noticed there is a small bend on the rear of the wheel, tried to photograph it. The wheel still balanced out fine while on the car. There is light curb makes on the face of the wheel, should be easy to sand smooth.
Last three images are "Wheel Two" and appears to be straight and free of bends. Some heavier curb marks, again it is repairable. I will clean it up before shipping, just has been too cold to spend much time in the garage.
Both of these wheels will make great backups or if you need a replacement. This is a shipped price, price is firm for now but I will entertain OBO. I am in no rush to sell, I had these as back ups for my set of four but I plan on selling those in the near future as well. Thanks for looking and feel free to ask any questions.

Mayor Bloomberg Answers Stanford U Critics
When Stanford University abruptly withdrew from Mayor Bloomberg's applied sciences initiative late last year, it was a bit of a black eye for the Mayor.
Stanford's name was mentioned from the beginning of the competition, even before the Cornell-Technion bid (which eventually won) picked up steam.
The New Yorker's Ken Auletta recently offered some insight into what went wrong - from Stanford's perspective:
Publicly, the university was vague about the decision, and, in a statement, [Stanford President] Hennessy praised "the mayor's bold vision." But he was seething. In January, he told me that the city had changed the terms of the proposed deal. After seven universities had submitted their bids, he said, the city suddenly wanted Stanford to agree that the campus would be operational, with a full complement of faculty, sooner than Stanford thought was feasible."
Auletta also obtained this fairly damning quote from Debra Zumwalt, Stanford's general counsel:
"I have been a lawyer for over thirty years, and I have never seen negotiations that were handled so poorly by a reputable party."
If that comment riled the Mayor, he didn't show it.
"Let me tell you, we dealt fairly with every applicant," Bloomberg said, when a reporter read Zumwalt's quote to him.
The Mayor then detailed how the top five out of 20-odd applicants made it to the second round, where negotiations between the city and the universities began.
"The agreement was we would negotiate with each," Bloomberg said. "And one of the things was, there are risks, we are not about to give a nominally valuable piece of property...and $100 million in infrastructure improvements, we're never gonna give that away without some guarantees."
Bloomberg said Cornell is now penalty-bound to honor a number of agreements including the amount of space to be built, the number of faculty to be hired, and the number of graduate students that will be enrolled.
The Mayor said he does not know Zumwalt.
"I can just tell you my experience mostly with John Hennessy, the President of Stanford was thing but great," he said. "He's a very great educator, smart guy, good leader, and it's just a shame that it didn't work out. Some things work out and some things don't."

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Good evening. Leases are no longer terminated by foreclosure. The "Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act of 2009" provides that leases survive a foreclosure -- meaning the tenant can stay at least until the end of the lease, and that month-to-month tenants are entitled to 90 days' notice before having to move out. An exception was carved out for the buyer who intends to live on the property -- this buyer may terminate a lease with 90 days' notice. With no written lease, you are deemed a month to month tenant.
I hope this has given you the guidance you were seeking. I wish you the best of luck!
If you have a follow-up question, please remember that there might be a delay between your follow up questions and my answers because I may be helping other clients or taking a break.
If I have adequately answered your question, even though the answer might not have been the one for which you hoped, I would appreciate it if you would please click the GREEN ACCEPT button so that I receive credit for my work; otherwise, though you have made a deposit, I do not receive credit.
If you need additional clarification on this question after clicking ACCEPT, please do not hesitate to click Reply and I will be happy to do what I can to help you further. Thanks for allowing me to be of service to you.
The information given here is not legal advice. As all states have different intricacies in their laws, the information given is general only. This communication does not establish an attorney-client relationship with you. I hope this answer has been helpful to you.
Yes, I understand. With no lease, you are considered a month to month tenant. As a month to month tenant, you are entitled to 90 days written notice prior to having to move out.

"Shutter Island" won't surprise most filmgoers: I predicted the ending of "Shutter Island" before I even saw the film. That being said, the roads that lead to the ending keep the movie semi-interesting. Leonardo DiCaprio plays Teddy Daniels, a U.S. Federal Marshal who is called to the island to investigate the disappearance of one of the mental facility's patients. Fellow Marshal Mark Ruffalo goes with him, and while there they meet the facility's overseer, played by Ben Kingsley, and the residents that live there. On his search for the missing patient, Teddy has numerous flashbacks from when he was a soldier in World War II, which appear to stem from his migraine headaches.
Michelle Williams ("Brokeback Mountain") plays Leo's deceased wife, shown only in flashbacks, and Ted Levine (Capt. Stottlemeyer from "Monk") has a small role as a Warden. Both Leo and Ben Kingsley are excellent in their roles, and Mark Ruffalo has a decent part as well. The mental hospital's "patients" are all exceedingly creepy, and we are introduced to some of them as the story unfolds.
The trailer for this movie definitely did not reflect the movie as a whole. There are tons of flashbacks that, for the most part, were not included in it, and the trailer made the movie look like it was going to be far scarier than it was. There are even some moments of humor—at one point, one of the patients in Ward C, where the most disturbed patients are kept, jumps Leo's character, only to hit him and say "Tag, you're it!"
However, I would say Maybe see this movie. I didn't like that I had been able to guess the ending, but I have to admit that the details surrounding the ending were interesting and the movie definitely tries to screw with your mind. On the other hand, a few audience members definitely did not see the ending coming, as I heard a few gasps when the crucial plot twist happened near the end. The reason I say "Maybe" see this movie is because of the superb acting of Leo and Kingsley, and the fact that, for the most part, the story is interesting, and moves quickly - there were only a few scenes in which I was checking my watch. The movie is definitely not as good as the trailer makes it appear to be, but for some moviegoers, it might be worth a second look.

*** ATTN: MAY 23, 2015: I am currently on a break from training and troubleshooting for reporters and scopists, but I will be back in a bit. If you'd like to get on my waitlist for any of my services, please email me at email@example.com ***
I'm an independent software trainer certified by Stenograph to train clients to utilize Case CATalyst. I'm also an official court reporter in Thurston County Superior Court and a Registered Diplomate Reporter. I've been using Case Catalyst for 17 years. I founded Case CATalyst Help! because I firmly believe that Case CATalyst is the most advanced court reporting software available on the market, and yet most court reporters only use a fraction of its functions.
I can teach you to maximize your software and minimize your edit time. Whether you are just starting out and learning the basics or whether you're a seasoned reporter, who wants to learn the latest and greatest features, I can help you.
I offer individual training, online training, group training, follow-up support, and emergency troubleshooting. I also created the Dropbox Master User, which allows reporters to work on multiple computers with one set of files that are automatically synchronized. There is no need for backing up and restoring. I created and administer the largest Case CAT group on facebook where members help one another with common problems and questions. You can join us here: Case CATalyst Reporters and Users.
Here are other services I provide:
Auto Indexing Package: I create an index template and all the include files tagged for auto indexing, dictionary entries, and then I remotely train the client via computer sharing software (www.teamviewer.com) how to use the auto indexing.
Automatic Number Conversion package: I take the reporter's personal dictionary, filter the numbers, remove all numbers that conflict with the automatic number conversion process, identify conflicts and suggest alternative solutions, modify the automatic number conversion table according to the reporter's style preferences, and then via remote training, teach the reporter how to use the automatic number conversion and which settings are appropriate for them.
Forms & Files: If you'd like to have a form or invoice that was created in a different program recreated for use in Case CATalyst or if you'd like to have any of your title pages updated with fields and tables. I can also put an image of your signature on your certificate page.
You hire a scopist to scope for you; you hire a proofreader to proof for you; why wouldn't you hire an experienced working court reporter to streamline your files for you?
Whether you would like to take the time to train on the software or whether you'd like to have someone streamline your process, you can maximize your software and minimize your edit time.

As promised, I'm back to discuss the two most intriguing sessions that I attended at the IHRSA Convention. If you missed part one, click here.
Strength Training for Baby Boomers and Beyond
Did you know that 75% of adults over age 60 are overweight or obese (JAMA, 2010)? Without resistance training, we lose about six pounds of muscle per decade. That translates to a metabolic rate reduction of 3% per decade and a fat gain of 16 pounds in a decade. Once we hit 50, the muscle loss increases to 10 pounds per decade (Nelson, JAMA 1994). Muscle loss increases risk factors for obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease (Strasser, J. Obesity, 2011). According to fitness expert and researcher Wayne Westcott, Ph.D, that is just the tip of the iceberg.
However, Dr. Westcott, with numerous studies to back up his claims, stated that a simple program of resistance training, 10-20 total exercise sets, can reverse muscle loss in adults of all ages. For example, a large study (1,644 subjects), using ACSM strength training guidelines (1 set of 8-12 repetitions of 12 exercises two-three days per week), resulted in a three pound increase of lean (muscle) weight in 10 weeks of training (Westcott, Physician and Sports Medicine, 2009). That muscle gain can help to increase resting metabolism and reduce body fat.
It doesn't stop there. A similar resistance training program has been proven to facilitate physical function, resist and control Type 2 Diabetes, improve cardiovascular health, increase HDL cholesterol (the good kind) while reducing LDL and triglycerides, increase bone mineral density, enhance mental health, and reverse aging factors.
Ignore the title of this session for a moment. This information is relevant to all age groups. Obesity is at an all-time high, young children are getting Type 2 Diabetes, low back pain is afflicting adults of all ages. This next screen will scare the hell out of you.
The study above took 5,000 participants and used accelerometers to measure their activity. The percentage of the population of various ages that attained a bare minimum of physical activity is listed above. That activity is equal to walking 30 minutes pretty slowly (about 2.5 mph), five days a week.
Dr. Westcott went on to discuss strength training principles, and the benefits of a higher protein diet (1.5 grams per kilogram of ideal body weight-note that it is ideal weight, not actual), along with high fruit, vegetable, and water intake, moderate calories (low fat, low starch), in conjunction with the resistance training.
The Future of Fitness
I saved this session review until last because it was the one that most interested me. I've even discussed it with some of my students and they were eager to get in on the conversation. I hope that you will to.
As I mentioned in yesterday's post, this session was led by a panel of experts representing ACE, the American Council on Exercise. The speakers were Scott Goudeseune, CEO of ACE, Janet Frenkel, COO, and Cedric Bryant, Ph.D, CSO. The title, the Future of Fitness refers to ACE Vision 2035, their vision to eliminate obesity by 2035. Quite a lofty goal.
The plan to achieve this goal is comprehensive and involves the health care community, local leaders, the fitness community, schools, and employers. As part of the fitness community, I focused on what I personally can do as a personal trainer and fitness director.
One of the things that was mentioned, is that we must change the way we talk about fitness. Currently, most health clubs market themselves to fit people. Think of the advertising that you've seen. Usually a picture of a young, fit, muscular person, in relatively skimpy clothing, looking happy and healthy. Is that motivating? Or intimidating? Think about what an obese person feels when they walk through the doors of our fitness centers. What do they see when they walk in the door? What does the salesman talk about? How about the personal trainer with the introductory training session? Are those experiences designed to help an un-fit, overweight person begin their health journey? Or is it an overwhelmingly embarrassing experience that leaves that person in deeper despair that before? What can we do to make fitness accessible to everyone?
Some of the things discussed that the fitness community can do is to make sure that they are hiring qualified, certified trainers. We also need to assume a degree of accountability. Because if are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.
This is just a partial report on the big plans that ACE has to eliminate obesity by 2035. You can read the full 2012 Impact Report, which includes Vision 2035, here.
I know that many of my readers are active and fit, and that a lot of you are involved in the fitness industry. What do you think? How do we make fitness accessible? How do we get the inactive to move? How do we educate the population about the real dangers of obesity, and encourage them to change their behavior? Please discuss.

Have you ever thought that abstract paintings by Jackson Pollock and some other famous artists looks like they were done by a preschooler? And, by the same token, that maybe your kid's splattered and smeared pieces of work could be sold for some serious cash? You're not alone.
And someone has beat you to it. A young artist named Aelita Andre has burst onto the art scene, and, get this -- she's 4 years old and her paintings are selling for $20,000 and up. The little Australian girl's artwork is being promoted and peddled by her artist parents, who most likely give her pieces their silly new-age names like "Butterfly Nebula 4" (unless Aelita knows what a nebula is...!).
Check out this video of Aelita making some of her creations. What do you think? Something special? Nothing special?
Basically, her mom went to some pretty prominent art galleries in London and New York and pitched the paintings of a hot new artist -- without revealing Aelita was a child. Aelita's first gallery exhibit was when she was under two years old!
This story raises some interesting questions (besides what's so special about her work). How large of a role are the parents playing in the final product of Aelita's masterpieces? Are they exploiting her in any way? (Hopefully the cash will go to her college fund!) Will she stay famous -- or even want to be an artist? Will she resent reaching the limelight before she even knew how to tie her shoes?
And one question you're probably pondering... could my kid do this?
Sure, some of Aelita's work turns out pretty cool, just because she is so uninhibited with her pouring, squirting, and smooshing of paint onto the canvas (prepped by mom and dad). So maybe your child could be the next Aelita if you foster his artsy side (and don't care about paint getting in his hair -- and everywhere)!
But the novelty of a famous 4-year-old artist in this trendy world might wear off quickly.
Oh well. Even if Aelita's five seconds of fame are up soon, it looks like she's having fun making a big ol' mess. Maybe that's the takeaway here: Let your kids go crazy with their favorite activities every once in a while. Leave the gallery-hopping PR blitz to some other Mom. There's lots of room on your fridge. :-)

What is Sedentary Behaviour?
Sedentary behaviour refers to any waking activity characterized by an energy expenditure ≤ 1.5 metabolic equivalents and a sitting or reclining posture. In general this means that any time a person is sitting or lying down, they are engaging in sedentary behaviour. Common sedentary behaviours include TV viewing, video game playing, computer use (collective termed "screen time"), driving automobiles, and reading.
This definition of sedentary behaviour has been published in the journals Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism and Movement & Sport Sciences – Science & Motricité. You can access the full letter at the following links: English Letter / French Letter / Spanish Letter / Portuguese Letter (thanks to Ana Lúcia André for created the Spanish and Portuguese translations, with help from Verónica Varela Mato).
The citation for this definition is:
Why do we care about sedentary behaviour?
Recent evidence suggests that having a high level of sedentary behaviour negatively impacts health independent of other factors including body weight, diet, and physical activity. For example, a 12-year study of 17,000 Canadian adults found that those who spent most of their time sitting were 50% more likely to die during the follow-up than those that sit the least, even after controlling for age, smoking, and physical activity levels. Given these and other findings, researchers are now studying the health impact of sedentary behaviour in a wide range of academic domains including epidemiology, population health, psychology, ergonomics, engineering, and physiology.
You can find links to other recent studies on sedentary behaviour on our Research page, while you can read more detailed study descriptions on our Study Summaries page. News articles related to sedentary behaviour can be found in the In The News page, our Learning Resources section hosts graphics and videos (coming soon) focusing on specific issues related to sedentary behaviour.

Tight supply pushes price of pork to record highs
Pork prices, an important indicator of inflation on the mainland, have risen to record highs after low prices last year prompted pig farmers to exit the business.
Data from soozhu.com, a leading pork industry consulting website that monitors prices from 3,000 sources around the country, shows that the average price of pigs sold for slaughter reached 18.37 yuan (HK$22) per kilogram yesterday, up more than 90 per cent from the same period last year.
During the week of June 6 to 12, average wholesale prices for fresh pork in 36 major cities reached 22.52 yuan per kilogram, their highest point since 2008, according to statistics from the Ministry of Commerce. Market observers are blaming rising costs of feed and labourers, the impact of diseases and, most importantly, the reduced production that has resulted from so many farmers quitting the business.
'Since early last year, when we suffered a shortage of factory workers, a lot of small hog raisers have retreated to work in other sectors. And production from bigger raisers hasn't been able to fill the gap,' said He Zhonghua , a analyst at industry website chinameat.cn.
He said that since the fourth quarter of last year, pork prices have broken the normal seasonal pattern: 'Prices usually rise at the end of a year and drop at the beginning of the next year, but the trend has reversed in the past months.'
Chen Shuwei , senior analyst at Beijing Orient Agribusiness Consultant, agreed, saying the major reason behind the rising price was reduced production.
'Many farmers retreated from the business, and a period of short supply will naturally emerge as the lack of capacity can't be [compensated for] in a short period,' he said.
Commerce Ministry spokesman Yao Jian said at a news conference on Wednesday pork prices fell this time last year to the lowest levels of the year, so the number of pig growers fell.
He said: 'The average purchasing price of corn for growers has grown by 9.8 per cent. This might be one factor.'
Yao said the government would not intervene too much, depending on the market to adjust prices.
'As the weather grows warmer, consumption of meat will decline, and we're confident the pork market will resume its stability,' he said.
The last time pork prices soared on the mainland was in 2008. The average price of pigs for slaughter reached a record of 17.20 yuan per kilogram in April that year, triggering severe inflation as a result.
Beijing has been trying to keep inflation under control, fearing it may cause social instability. Authorities have talked to leaders from industry unions and large players in the food industry in the past months, asking them not to raise prices.
But the continuing round of inflation hit a fresh peak last month, with the consumer price index reaching a 34-month high of 5.5 per cent.
Of this growth, 65 per cent was contributed by increases in food prices.

Install at the Weston Art Gallery, Cincinnati, OH, 2015, Need More
Excerpt from Seattle Times Review:
"No less intriguing is the way these words are superimposed on the landscapes. In the best work here, Wardwell uses a sophisticated stenciling technique. He paints the landscape, masks off the areas that he wants to keep visible, and then he overpaints the entire canvas. Another artist might have been content with this overpainting as a sort of extreme abstraction, but once the paint is dry Wardwell peels off the areas that he had masked over to reveal the letter-shaped areas of landscape that spell out his chosen phrase.
In fact, in these enormously sophisticated pictures, Joe Wardwell presents three quite different things at the same time: landscape painting, rock lyrics and brushy abstraction. The extent to which these three elements interconnect in any one painting varies, but to Wardwell they have this in common — they are all important components of the contemporary American artistic identity. For each of us, their relative significance will be different, but the fact that Wardwell permits us to conjure with their various and parallel meanings all at the same time is the basis of his art's palpable success."

by Garry D. Kilworth
No current Talk conversations about this book.
'Archangel' by British SF-novelist-turned-horror-writer Garry D. Kilworth is a sequel to 'Angel', a police procedural set in San Francisco. I hadn't read the first one but it doesn't matter that much, as the book stands alone.
I've enjoyed some of Kilworth's SF works – but this one didn't work for me on any level.
The plot is very thin; the religious tone preachy; the characters not at all engaging; the writing is loose in spots; and there is far too much unnecessary violence and just down right yuckiness. I could well have done without the detailed descriptions of the effects of the plagues of frogs and cockroaches.
I'd give it a miss if I were you.
