New study on genetically engineered foods
Original post made by PA resident, Adobe-Meadow, on Sep 22, 2012
Web Link
The study, published in the peer-reviewed journal Food and Chemical Toxicology, found that rats fed a type of genetically engineered corn that is prevalent in the US food supply for two years developed massive mammary tumors, kidney and liver damage, and other serious health problems.Web Link
The research was considered so "hot" that the work was done under strict secrecy. According to a French article in Le Nouvel Observateur,2 the researchers used encrypted emails, phone conversations were banned, and they even launched a decoy study to prevent sabotage!
A two-year long French feeding study designed to evaluate the long-term health effects of a genetically engineered corn found that rats fed Monsanto�s maize developed massive breast tumors, kidney and liver damage, and other serious health problems. The major onslaught of diseases set in during the 13th month
Female rats that ate genetically engineered corn died 2-3 times more than controls, and more rapidly, while the male GE-fed rats had tumors that occurred up to a year-and-a-half earlier than rats not fed GE corn
According to results from a 10-year long feeding study on rats, mice, pigs and salmon, genetically engineered feed causes obesity, along with significant changes in the digestive system and major organs, including the liver, kidneys, pancreas, genitals and more
The EPA admits there�s �mounting evidence� that Monsanto�s insecticide-fighting YieldGard corn is losing its effectiveness in the Midwest. Last year, rootworms resistant to the toxin in the genetically designed corn infested fields in Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota and Nebraska
Genetically engineered foods are responsible for development of resistant weeds and pests; increased pathogenic virulence; degradation of soil quality; reduced nutrient content in food; exponential rise in infertility and birth defects; and reduced crop yields, and more
Passing Prop 37 is Key to Expanding Sustainable Agriculture in North America
Despite Johr's stated view, Nestle has donated nearly $1.17 million to the "No on 37 Coalition," which is working to prevent the labelling of GE foods in California. So much for listening to consumers...
Although many organic consumers and natural health activists already understand the importance of Proposition 37, the California Right to Know Genetically Engineered Foods Act, it cannot be overemphasized that winning the battle over Prop 37 is perhaps the most important food fight Americans � not just Californians � have faced so far. Once food manufacturers can no longer label or market GE-tainted foods as "natural" or "all-natural," and once all GE ingredients are clearly marked, millions of consumers will demand non-GE alternatives, and organic and non-GE food sales will dramatically increase.
But in order to win this fight for the right to know what's in our food, we need your help, as the biotech industry will surely outspend us by 100 to 1, if not more, for their propaganda.

Most fresh produce sold in any market - even organic centered - are/is genetically "engineered" hybrids.
And remember, when demanding ONLY natural and organic for your consumption - petrolium is natural and organic........

So is petroleum, with an "e".
That said, why not label foods? When I have kids, I'll want to know what I'm feeding them.

An interesting rebuttal to the French study, which equates anti-GMO folks with climate change deniers:

What is striking about this study is that n=10 in each group...and that the 22% GMO with or without Roundup has FEWER deaths/tumors than the 11% GMO with or without Roundup..
It is odd to conclude GMO is the cause of deaths and tumors when double the GMO rate in a feedcorn is associated with fewer deaths/tumors.
Yes, "statistically" speaking GMO deaths/tumors with and without Roundup were higher than the control GMO with R...I think. It is a very confusing study with 20 different groups of 10 rats, and would require a fair bit of time to process. But, it is odd that double the GMO rate in the feed was correlated with LESS death and tumors.
I think this was a study that attacked too much on one plate, with too few N per grouping. Interesting, yes..conclusive, no. I would like to see 50 in 4 groups, 2 controls with male/female, and 2 experimental male/female, comparing side by side tumors/lifespan with ONLY GMO vs not GMO maize.

And BTW, I went straight to the study link, without reading the full post, because I was interested. Now that I have read the original post, I see this was a pro-37 attempt. Sorry, not sold.
a resident of Greater Miranda
on Nov 29, 2012 at 4:34 am
Please note, even the EU has rejected the above mentioned study as highly flawed, as I mentioned. In other words; propaganda.
Web Link
Also please note the similarities to global warming..um...believers...in that whenever a brain is used to refute the fear of GMO, like refuting the fear of Global Warming, there is only derision and emotion in response. In other words, the emotion of fear is very powerful and a great tool to use to grab power, as we have seen throughout history and continue to see. Don't fall for it.
Thank goodness Prop 37 failed: an attempt to enrichen some and put others out of business through the vote of scared people, while raising the costs of food for all of us.

Mountain climber and guide Jake Norton is not only an amazing and prolific adventurer with an impressive resume of climbs, he can also take great photographs and give a fascinating lecture. He makes you understand why people climb mountains.
With Norton on the stage with slide show and video clips on command, the old cliche "armchair adventure" takes on new meaning.
Evergreen Christian Outreach, the Mountain Resource Center and the King Soopers stores in Conifer and Bergen Park are joining forces in a community-wide, nonperishable food, clothing and new toys drive Nov. 13.
All of the food and other items collected will be distributed by the local food banks, so local contributors can be assured their donations will stay in the mountain community.
The drive is from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the two King Soopers parking lots. Look for the 9Cares/Colorado Shares banners.
Finding a polling place was difficult for some Evergreen area residents, who were caught unaware that their customary voting establishment had become obsolete, at least temporarily, if not permanently.
At least 10 polling places from Kittredge to Evergreen were consolidated down to five for the Nov. 2 elections, said Josh Liss, Jeffco's deputy of elections.
The Evergreen Park and Recreation District board will hold a regular monthly meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 16, at the Buchanan Park Recreation Center.
A special meeting for a hearing on the budget was held Nov. 9.
Items on the published agenda include the following: recommendation on the consultant to compile a district-wide master plan, field-user fee update, building-use agreement template, updated approval matrix, and policy on individuals selling items on district property.

Executive director Sharon Smith of Evergreen Christian Outreach shows off one of the 9News banners that will go on display at the King Soopers parking lot on Saturday. The public is invited to bring Thanksgiving food, turkeys and gift items to be distributed locally.
State Rep. Cheri Gerou enjoyed uncontested status during the 2010 general election campaign and ended with 24,365 votes in House District 25. She was first elected to the seat in 2008.
Of those that voted, 19,866 were by mail-in, 3,619 by polling place or paper ballot, and 871 by early voting.
On election night, Gerou was at the Doubletree Hotel in Denver watching the returns come in until about 11 p.m. Then she got up at 3:40 a.m. to check her computer to see how other races had turned out.
As of Friday, Nov. 5, the race between Democrat Jeanne Nicholson and Republican Tim Leonard for the District 16 state Senate seat was still too close too call.
As of late afternoon, Leonard said the margin was 456 votes, with Nicholson in the lead. Some 320 outstanding provisional ballots in Jefferson County still remained to be validated and counted, Leonard said.
On Wednesday The Denver Post reported Leonard ahead with 27,690 votes, compared to Jeanne Nicholson with 27,318 votes.

A driver going the wrong way on U.S. 285 has died in a two-vehicle accident that also injured a Jefferson County sheriff's deputy.
The accident occurred about 8:24 p.m. Wednesday when a vehicle traveling north in the southbound lanes of U.S. 285 struck a Jefferson County patrol vehicle.
The driver of a black Subaru Outback, identified as Sabrina Pedersen, 33, of Evergreen, was traveling on U.S. 285 between Eagle Cliff Road and Turkey Creek Road when the accident occurred. Pedersen was pronounced dead at the scene.

Batman is about to begin again.
Last night during 24: Die Another Day Fox premiered the first trailer for Gotham, the new show (officially ordered to series yesterday) that focuses on the early career of James Gordon, the man who'll one day become commissioner of Gotham City and Batman's trusted confidant in the ongoing fight against evil.
Southland's Ben McKenzie takes the role of Gordon in the series, with Terriers veteran Donal Logue playing fellow cop Harvey Bullock. As you can see from the trailer, the series will feature younger incarnations of familiar Batman villains—including Catwoman, the Riddler, and the Penguin—as well as a particularly young Bruce Wayne, as played by Touch's David Mazouz.
The trailer promises "the origins of the infamous city," but whether or not the series turns out to be more Smallville than Arrow—or, worst-case scenario, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.—remains to be seen. Gotham will launch this fall on Fox.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I wish I had never set foot in the door at the Rush Fitness in downtown Chattanooga, TN back in the spring of 2012. My husband and I signed up for, what we were led to understand, were month-to-month memberships with easy cancellation options. When my contaract ended in January of 2013, they continued to charge us for 2 more months. My husband's was even more difficult because the representative who signed us up neglected to actually fill in all of the information on the contract. (Interestingly enough, they actually have a clause for that in the fine print, that basically says it doesn't matter if they left blanks, we were still responsible)
We sent our initial letter to cancel in June of 2012 to the address provided and included our memberships cards like the contract said to do. This did nothing; we continued to be charged. I tried talking to the people at the gym, including the one who signed us up, and they told us there was nothing they could do and we should contact corporate headquarters. Which we did. After several conversations that went nowhere I finally emailed their member services address.
They immediately agreed to cancel my contract (never saw a refund on the 2 extra months charged), but it wasn't until I pointed out the basically blank contract my husband had signed that they agreed to cancel his contract as well. So, I had all this in writing, we had talked to our bank, things were looking good.
Last Saturday, July 5, 2013, $94 was withdrawn from our checking account by the Rush Fitness. We are still handling this through the proper channels, but have not yet seen a return on any funds stolen by this company. As far as we are concerned this company highly resembles organized crime in that noone will take any responsibility and noone is to blame. They are faceless and it's beynd frustrating. We have debated actually picketing their offices and locations in our city so that more people are not taken in.
Please do not sign a contract with this company. We may have lost money and time to them, but you don't have to.

Superior National Forest Update: September 11-
Hi. I'm Susan McGowan-Stinski, administrative support assistant on the Superior National Forest, Gunflint Ranger District, with this week's edition of the National Forest Update - information on conditions affecting travel and recreation on the Tofte and Gunflint Districts of the Forest. For the week of September 11, here's what's going on in the Forest.
As fall progresses, the natural world continues to get ready for winter. Leaves are turning as trees shut down for the cold season, birds are migrating in huge numbers along the shore, and bats and bears prepare for sleeping away the winter months. You can help with some of this preparation. Keep feeders full this time of year, including hummingbird feeders. It is a myth that you can keep migrating birds from flying south with feeders, all you can do is help fuel their flight. Cats should be kept inside during migration. The birds are exhausted enough without having to deal with a house-cat that doesn't even need to hunt for its food. Even driving the speed limit helps - I'll bet that almost everyone that drives Highway 61 has hit a bird at some point.
As far as bats are concerned, the Forest has put up five new bat houses. This doesn't really help with hibernation or migration, but
fall is a good time of year to put up bat houses. This way, the house will be ready when the bats are waking up next year looking for places to roost.
Bears are really looking for food to get fat on right now, and it is very important that you keep your food and garbage locked up securely when you are camping. So, remember to put the locking bars back into dumpsters, and keep your food in your trunk.
Logging is still going strong in the Tofte District. You can expect to see a log truck or two as you drive through the Forest. The Honeymoon Trail (FR 164), near White Pine Lake, should still have hauling taking place this week. The east side of the Timber/Frear Loop (FR 348) is being used for hauling, as is the Four Mile Grade (FR 170). The heaviest log truck traffic should be on the western side of the district, though. The Sawbill Landing Road (FR 369), near Sawbill Landing, and the Wanless Road (FR 172), near Homestead Lake, will see multiple logging trucks every day.
There will be another kind of migration going on this Friday and Saturday that will affect people using the Superior Hiking Trail south of Lutsen Mountain, as well as people planning to park in the Oberg Mountain Trail parking lot on the Onion River Road or driving up the Sawbill Trail. This migration is the Superior 100, an annual ultramarathon that routes runners from Gooseberry Falls State Park to Lutsen Mountain. Runners, spectators, and support crews will be using the trail and parking in lots and along roads where the trails cross. The most affected areas will be where there are aid stations set up on the Sawbill Trail at the Britten Peak trailhead parking lot and at the Oberg Mountain trailhead parking lot, and at the race finish at Lutsen Mountain. Expect congestion in these areas. Where the trail crosses other roads, people are advised to park on only one side of the road to maintain a clear throughway. There are several different race lengths, so there will be multiples starts and finishes, both on Friday and Saturday. This is always a pretty exciting event, attracting runners from across the country. We'd like to say good luck to all the runners!
Have a great weekend, and enjoy the Forest. Until next week, this has been Susan McGowan-Stinski with the Superior National Forest Update.
Wildersmith on the Gunflint: September 11-
With this week's Radio Waves commentary, I begin year 14 of scribing the Gunflint scoop. It hardly seems possible I have been doing this since 2002. For those of you not familiar, the first six were for the Cook County News Herald, while the anniversary of my time with this great radio station will head off into year eight come December. What a great run it has been thanks to all the news makers and everyone who listens!
Labor Day weekend seems to be all about endings and beginnings. So many observe the holiday as the end of summer; it's hoped this area follows suit with an end to the miserable heat and humidity which has hung over us for week one of month nine. I can't think of one person I've encountered over the past seven who hasn't had a not too pleasant comment about the continuing jungle-like conditions. Although autumn officially remains several days away by the calendar, it's just time for a real beginning to the cooler season with all the happenings tied to the start of another academic year for the young people in our midst.
Moisture additions were minimal in these parts over the past week until this Saturday night into Sunday when a swell rain doused the territory. Most rain gauges topped out at about an inch. Fortunately, the heavens opened up with not too much an uproar around Wildersmith, just a good soaker.
Speaking more of endings, I continue to be captured by the intensity and mystique of daytime closings. If the days-end phenomena isn't played-out on land or in the sky, it's in-between on one of the beautiful border country lakes. Such was the case recently when the Smith's day closed down in a boat on the lake. Conditions were such with warm steamy temps hovering over cool water of Gunflint Lake. The results found blankets of gauzy fog forming incongruous lake level layers as we skimmed the quiet ripples. The early evening magic was breaking through these ghostly clumps where one could see little, then opening into bright sun-setting brilliance. My mind suddenly reminisced to an old CD, entitled "Breaking through the Mist." The serenity of this time on the lake aptly matched the tranquility of the melodious CD qualities as I remember them. In the cool of the evening, how sweet it was!
Another end of the day episode was brought to mind at sunset from our dock just days later. The display of "Sol" unfolded with another of those red-hot iron beams screaming down the lake from the northwestern horizon. While at the opposite end of the sky, lingering thin cumulonimbus puffs scooped up these blazing neon reflections as pink cotton candy. Meanwhile, dimming light in the east had the lake surface darkening. In concert with the molten iron look from the western heavens and pink vapor above the eastern skyline, the quaking waters did their thing by lathering on soothing, lavender tones. Although the light show interlude was short lived, it was truly one to behold. You just had to be here to totally appreciate.
At our hummer feeding station, we have but one of the elegant critters still hanging out. The rest of the flock has vanished. Guess they have taken off for points south. Another winged group we have been watching is the loons. They are noticeably gathering as they do prior to taking off. We had four circling in the waters off our dock one night last week, showing off their ritualistic diving skills. This exercise was led by one with others following suit, then dispersal and quiet conversation. Another fellow down the lake reports a gathering of six one night in front of his place, doing much the same. So it's for sure, departure and flight plans are being made.
Regardless of recent temps not reflecting a change of seasons, more color is evolving in our deciduous parts of the forest. We have a striking red maple tree along the Mile O Pine declaring enough of summer. And several young birch trees, which turned golden early, have chimed in their support for a new season by casting away leaves. In a matter of days, this area might be at its peak. Come on out for a "look-see!"
Area residents, visitors and members of the Gunflint Trail Historical Society are reminded of the September Society meeting this coming Monday, the 14th. The site will once again be the Schaap (Mid Trail) Community Center. Beginning at 1:30 pm, the usual business meeting will be followed by a Trail Historical program. This month's topic will be remembrances and stories of Irv and Tempest Benson. Scrumptious treats from our Trail baking masters will also be on hand. Y'all come!
This is Fred Smith, on the Trail, at Wildersmith! Peace and quiet along the Trail, is golden as the hillsides.

NHL Power Rankings, 3/10
|03.10.10 at 12:44 pm ET
The post-Olympics race for playoff spots is heating up. The high-powered Capitals remain atop our rankings, but there's plenty of shifting going on.
1. (1) 44-13-9 Deadline deals by George McPhee, adding versatile center Eric Belanger, rugged Scott Walker and skilled defenseman Joe Corvo, make the Caps a serious contender.
2. (3) 43-17-5 The big game ability demonstrated by Patrick Kane in the Olympic gold medal game provides some indication the Blackhawks will have plenty of playoff leadership when the road gets tough.
3. (2) 42-14-9 Likewise, the no-show performance by Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau, Dany Heatley and Dan Boyle during the gold medal game shows the Sharks still have an unsurpassed ability to disappear when it matters.
4 . (9) 40-22-4 Would anyone really mind if Matt Cooke were suspended for the season?
5. (5 ) 39-22-4 A 6-0 blasting of Columbus on Monday showed the Kings have adjusted to the arrival of deadline acquisitions such as Fredrik Modin and are ready for a return to the playoffs.
6. (5) 39-22-5 Good luck in the desert, Derek Morris. Mr. Chiarelli found you a nice landing spot.
7. (7) 40-23-2 After their 14-game road trip ends Wednesday, the Canucks play 10 of their final 15 games at home. Welcome back, boys.
8. (6) 35-20-9 Has Ilya Kovalchuk made the Devils a better team? They're just 3-6-1 in their last 10 games.
9. (8) 37-22-4 Talk about under the radar. Avalanche forward Chris Stewart suddenly received league-wide attention, being named as the NHL First Star for the week ending Sunday. Stewart leads Colorado in goals (24) and plus/minus (plus-13).
10. (11) 35-20-9 The Sabres will play just six of their final 17 games at home. A five-game road trip that begins Saturday in Detroit could greatly impact how the battle for the Northeast Division title plays out.
11. (10) 36-25-5 The Senators looked to end an 0-2-1 start to post-Olympic hockey with a contest in Edmonton Tuesday.
12. (14) 31-21-12 How funny would it be if the Red Wings grab the eighth playoff spot in the West and face the Sharks in the first round? Come on, the Sharks drawing the playoff-tested Wings in the opening round, that's good stuff.
13. (12) 35-25-5 The Predators remain among the playoff eight in the West but face a tough four-game road trip that began Tuesday in Atlanta and includes games against all three California teams.
14. (17) 34-26-4 If you're looking for a team rounding into playoff form, take a look at the Flyers, who are 7-1-1 in their last nine games entering play Tuesday.
15. (16) 29-24-12 The Stars continue to quietly get things done. Monday's 4-3 shootout victory over the Caps showed they can skate with anyone.
16. (13) 32-24-9 The Flames could be a strong candidate for a late-season crash out of the playoffs. They are a mediocre 5-4-1 in their last 10 games.
17. (19) 29-24-11 The loss of Marc Savard could seriously dampen playoff hopes for the Bruins. But this team still has the character, skill and goaltending to get it done.
18. (22) 30-26-9 A 6-4 run in their last 10 games gets the Blues back in the mix for a playoff spot.
19. (21) 32-29-6 A fast, 3-1 start fresh from the Olympic break has helped the Canadiens push for a playoff spot. On Sunday they rallied from a three-goal third-period deficit to beat Anaheim.

24. (24) 29-28-9 Three losses in a row for the Rangers, one of the league's most disappointing teams this season.
25. (25) 26-28-10 Reports had free agent-to-be Dennis Seidenberg eager to remain with the Panthers before being dealt to the Bruins. Some curious moves in Florida.
26. (27) 27-31-7 The hottest team in the league? The pride to the rafters Hurricanes, who are 8-2 in their last 10 games. Veterans with nothing to play for getting it done every night.
27. (26) 26-31-8 After an impressive start, Islanders rookie John Tavares entered play Tuesday without a goal in 16 games. His minus-19 rating is also the worst on the team. Welcome to the league, kid.

The monitor is quite probably the most important part of a PC. Although many PC users may disagree with that statement, choosing to place more emphasis on their CPU or graphics card, the truth is that the rest of your system can't amount to much if you have a poor screen to display the output on. It's also worth remembering that a really good monitor is likely to last the lifetime of several PCs, since display technology doesn't move at the same frightening pace as CPUs, graphics cards or motherboards.
All that said, it's also true that the monitor can be one of the most expensive parts of a PC, but what we're here to tell you is that it can be money well spent. Investing in a good monitor will make your entire PC using experience more enjoyable, whether working or playing.
A truly great display will give you as much space as possible on which to work, and this equates to a large physical screen area and a high resolution. As things stand, that generally means a screen size between 20 and 21.3in and a resolution of 1,600 x 1,200. Not only is 1,600 x 1,200 a great resolution to work at, but it's also the highest resolution that can be supported by a single link DVI output – of course workstation graphics cards with dual link DVI can support higher resolution, but then you're talking serious money.
So, we've rounded up eight of the best large screen, high resolution displays on the market in order to separate the wheat from the chaff. Every monitor in this group test sports either a 20.1in or 21.3in TFT panel and a resolution of 1,600 x 1,200. Each and every one of them will accept both digital DVI and analogue D-SUB inputs for ultimate flexibility. Some have two DVI ports, some have USB hubs, some can pivot and some have built-in speakers.
Each screen was tested and studied using the DisplayMate suite of tests and then placed on our desks and used as a primary display for several weeks to get a true idea of its day-in, day-out performance.
During the course of this test we were amazed at how much the price of these screens dropped, and you may find, as we did, that a high resolution TFT screen is more affordable than you might imagine.
So, if you're in the market for a new display and would like the maximum amount of desktop real estate, read on and find out which monitor is our dream screen.

IBAC - a good idea waylaid by the details
Published: November 28 2012 - 3:00AMIt is time to stop and recast the integrity model.
IN EARLY 2007, when then premier Steve Bracks was faced with calls for an anti-corruption commission, he stonewalled, arguing the investigative pillars of the Office of Police Integrity, the Ombudsman and the Auditor-General were sufficient. His successor, John Brumby, initially also dismissed the notion of an anti-corruption commission, although he later conceded there was a genuine need for it in this state.
Premier Ted Baillieu came to power in 2010 on the promise of an anti-corruption commission after railing about it for at least three years. He argued the model proposed by the Brumby government late in its term was ''confusing and complex''. Now Mr Baillieu is fielding some pretty sharp and entirely justified criticisms about the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission his government plans to implement. Perhaps the most strident criticism has come from two crucial voices: former Victorian Supreme Court judge Tim Smith, QC, who advised the Baillieu government to some extent on an IBAC structure, and the Ombudsman, George Brouwer.
Mr Smith's central concern, revealed in June, is the absurd limitation that permits IBAC to investigate allegations only when it is reasonably satisfied it will be looking at ''seriously corrupt conduct''. It is an overly cautious threshold that curbs IBAC's scope. Just two weeks after the government unveiled what it claims are the last pieces of legislation to bring IBAC into effect, Mr Smith has told ABC Radio of his despair at the whole thing. He believes the government has to start all over again because instead of focusing on the investigative process central to the commission and other bodies (including the Ombudsman's office), it has tied the whole scheme in layers of unnecessary regulations and red tape.
In Mr Smith's view, the government has been driven by a ''fear'' of not providing enough supervision over the whole integrity regime. He suggests the government's mistake has been to micro-manage the legislation. The Age agrees.
Instead of having an anti-corruption commission and parallel bodies, such as the Ombudsman and the Auditor-General, to investigate complaints about the administrative workings and officers of this state, the Baillieu government has devised a complex system of supervision and referrals. The effect is that some complaints will fall short of IBAC's threshold for investigation, and the status of independent officers such as the Ombudsman will be downgraded and subjected to an extra layer of supervision (the Victorian Inspectorate, which then reports to a parliamentary committee). It all starts to look unwieldly, if not unworkable.
For his part, Mr Brouwer says the new structure would constrain his powers. He says he was not even consulted about the latest bills, which run to hundreds of pages, and he has urged the Premier to defer debate on IBAC and the accompanying structures until February to give him time to provide a detailed report.
That it has come to this is more than a shame or humiliation, it is a disgrace. While implementing the commission was always going to be a complex task, it has turned into a near farcical exercise. Some teething problems were to be expected, and being able to recognise such problems and adjust is important. But when such serious concerns emerge this late, it is time to stop, think again and get it right the first time. But instead of a commission able to probe the darkest corners of this state, the government has devised a constrained, convoluted and high-pitched web of structures that seem destined to strangle themselves in legal knots.
Mr Baillieu came to office with a noble ideal for an anti-corruption commission. He should ensure that Victorians do not end up with a ridiculed caricature. Public confidence in investigation and enforcement entities - their integrity, the rigour of their processes and the ability to follow up their findings - is vitally important to good government.No more closing ranks on abuse
AT LAST. Victims of chronic abuse in the Australian Defence Force have waited decades for the truth to be acknowledged. After all the denials and cover-ups, the apologies from Defence Minister Stephen Smith and defence force chief David Hurley had to be unqualified and backed by meaningful action. Their apologies and the creation of an investigative taskforce, with bipartisan support, offer real hope of justice and cultural change in the military.
The Age has sought a judicial inquiry since the dysfunctionality of military justice was laid bare in 2005. In 2004, then defence minister Robert Hill denounced ''unsubstantiated'' allegations of rape and criticised the publication of Senate committee proceedings for damaging the ADF. The Senate inquiry went on to find unanimously that the ADF was ''manifestly incapable of adequately performing its investigatory function''.
It has taken seven years and the Skype sex scandal, when a cadet went public, to trigger decisive action. Mr Smith ordered a review by law firm DLA Piper, which attracted hundreds of submissions. DLA Piper reviewed a 1998 inquiry by Defence Department official Bronwen Grey, who found about 30 per cent of female cadets, and some male cadets, had been raped or sexually assaulted at the Australian Defence Force Academy. It appeared the 20 or so suspects avoided trial. Some may have risen through the ranks. Sexual abuse of naval cadets as young as 13 at the HMAS Leeuwin training college in the 1960s and '70s was also investigated. At least 775 allegations were assessed as ''plausible''.
General Hurley called in the ADF Investigative Service. Once it confirmed the findings, apologies had to be made. Many victims were not given enough notice to witness the parliamentary apology, but they should benefit as the taskforce, headed by a retired judge, assesses rights to compensation, counselling and justice, including referrals to police.
As with other powerful hierarchies with their own codes and loyalties, the many derelictions of moral and legal duties did great harm for generations. No institution, whether cloaked in military, clerical or any other garb, should ever be a law unto itself. The focus of General Hurley's apology on the ADF's responsibility and how it can atone showed some other institutional leaders how it is done. He and Mr Smith do ''get it'', hence their resolve to deliver justice for past victims and to build a decent military culture. The defence force and all the decent people who serve in it need a military culture and justice system that meets Australian standards.

If only... That thought must have been coursing through Roberto Mancini's mind as he watched his Manchester City side dismantle Newcastle with a style and authority that has too often eluded them this season.
If only they had produced this quality and clinical finishing more consistently, they might have been in a position to defend their title. Instead they trail Manchester United by 15 points and are now concerned with preserving the runners-up spot in the face of competition from the capital.
If City continue to perform in this manner, that should not be a problem.
City's players queued up to get on the score sheet yesterday and more of them might have added their names to those of Carlos Tevez, David Silva and captain Vincent Kompany, who found the net with a clever back?flick on his return to the team after two months out with a calf injury.
Newcastle rarely laid a glove on City and could yet be listening anxiously for the final bell in the Premier League. But the reality for Mancini is that his side have too often lacked the ruthlessness to put away inferior opposition.
Mancini will acknowledge that, hard as it is to reach the top, it is harder still to stay there. That's why you have to hand it to Old Grumpy across town. You can bang on about good luck and undue influence on officialdom, but two decades at the summit of English football answers all lines of questioning on the subject.
City may justly believe that, individually and collectively, they ought still to have the edge.
United crave a midfield presence such as Yaya Toure's, the guile of Silva at his best and a Joe Hart in goal. Alas for Mancini, his many talents have too often malfunctioned this season.
The Italian blames their inability to keep pace with United on the absence of key players such as Toure and Kompany for periods of this season and both played significant roles yesterday.
But Mancini admitted: "It is difficult to always play well. It is impossible to win the title now, but it is important to finish the season well."
Newcastle would have been reduced to humiliation but for deputy goalkeeper Rob Elliot. Edin Dzeko was particularly frustrated by his agility.
Manager Alan Pardew said: "Even with my best team it would have been difficult today. Rob made some fantastic saves. Tim Krul should be available for Benfica on Thursday but it's a tough call for me."
City's quest to secure second place was palpably enhanced by the return of Kompany at the heart of the defence, although he was scarcely involved as City dominated the early exchanges without testing Elliot.
However, it was Hart who had the first scare as Papiss Cisse's volley, from Vurnon Anita's diagonal pass, struck the outside of a post.
City responded with similar menace. Samir Nasri cleverly out-manoeuvred two Newcastle defenders before drilling the ball into the six-yard area. Elliot somehow kept out Dzeko's shot and Gareth Barry blazed over from the rebound.
Silva curled a free-kick just wide, Dzeko headed over from Nasri's inswinging corner and Elliot beat away Gael Clichy's effort as City pressed for the breakthrough.
That inevitable moment arrived when City's football flowed from midfield and Clichy delivered the final ball for Tevez to turn in.
Elliot denied Dzeko again with a fingertip save only to be beaten by Silva after more magic from Nasri on the stroke of the interval.
The half-time cuppa – or Pardew's tongue – had the desired effect from Newcastle, who re-emerged for the second half like men on a mission.
If City thought they were in the comfort zone, Newcastle quickly shook them out of it. Suddenly Pardew's charges were swarming their area and Yohan Cabaye was inches away from restoring their interest in the contest.
City reacted to the affront with another goal. Newcastle failed to deal with a corner, Tevez's attempt came to nothing yet the ball broke for Barry, whose right-foot shot invited the decisive flick from Kompany.
Toure's performance in midfield was typically muscular, but Newcastle had held him at bay until the 69th minute, when his potent mix of power and control eventually had its reward.
His surging run was finished with a shot that found the net via a deflection off James Perch.

Michael Vaughan hasn't yet started his training for Strictly Come Dancing, it has been reported.
The cricket champion was confirmed as a contestant for the BBC show last week and on Saturday night was seen being paired with stunning Australian professional dancer Natalie Lowe for the series.
However, even her good looks and fab figure hasn't been able to tempt Michael into rehearsals and it's been revealed today that he has delayed the start of his practice sessions, until he wraps up a few work commitments in Scotland.
Insiders claim that Lowe is 'disappointed' in his decision, as she is determined to make Vaughan into one of the most accomplished contestants to appear in the series, after finding out that bosses are thinking of replacing her next year.
The Sun claims that some of the pro dancers are on trial during the 2012 run, with producers watching them closely before deciding whether or not to offer them a contract for 2013.
An insider told the newspaper: "Michael didn't want to cancel the events he had planned, so he will be lagging behind most of his rivals as far as training is concerned.
"He doesn't seem too worried about the delay, but Natalie is disappointed they couldn't start sooner. She is very competitive and wants to win.
The source added: "She also feels there is more pressure this year because the bosses are trying out two American pro dancers – Lacey Schwimmer and Mark Ballas."
We can see why Natalie would be upset, as a number of other stars are working late nights and long hours, trying to fit their training around their hectic schedules.
Lisa Riley is currently in Glasgow filming for BBC drama Waterloo Road. Her professional partner Robin Windsor has travelled up to Scotland and in between her shoots, the pair are rehearsing in a nearby dance studio.
She tweeted yesterday admitting:
'Morning training session done now of to Waterloo film one scene and then back for session two! My feet are killing me but must plow through!'
She's off to Manchester tomorrow and added:
'Last day filming in Glasgow then me and @robinwindsor after training are back to my hometown of Manchester!dance better at home!'
Thankfully, Michael is beginning his rehearsals today and he tweeted a few hours ago:
'Wish me luck today.. Got to take orders from a Aussie…!!! @RealNatalieLowe !!'
We can't wait to see how he does on the first live show! Strictly Come Dancing returns to our screens on the 5th of October. Are you excited? Leave your comments below….

For some odd reason, North Carolina is at the epicenter of the debate regarding the ethics of cloud computing. There's an opinion in the comment period now awaiting final approval.
The concern with the cloud is security. Will client data be safe?
The answer is, of course, that our client data won't be safe.
Why? Because most law firms let lawyers pick their own passwords.
What do they pick?
Randolph21 (or something like that). They use it on every site they visit.
When the system forces them to change their password, they change it to Randolph22.
Then Randolph 23.
It's genius.
You can build the most amazingly secure system on the planet, but if you leave it up to Randolph to set the password, then the game is OVER.
Of course, this isn't just a problem for the cloud. It's the same issue for the system in your office if it's accessible from outside (and inside if someone decides to break in). If you're using a remote desktop of any variety, you're opening up the door if you don't have decent passwords.
My preferred approach is to use software that remembers my passwords for me and is itself password protected. I'm using LastPass. I use 18-character passwords containing uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. It's easy to use, and it works on my computer and phone.
If you're really worried about protecting your client's data, then start with the basics.
Do you hear me, Randolph?

wow…permition for download
Antiphrasis Mar 20 2010
Great idea about the triangular shape! One question though, how will you link them since the square shapes of the images themselves overlap? I guess the only way would be with an image map where you can have arbitrary shapes for the links. =)
Rory Dixon Mar 21 2010
Great icon set – my only query would be how to implement them.
Natalie Mar 21 2010
Nice set of icons. Thanks!
Damian Herrington Mar 22 2010
Hi all, thank you for the positive feedback that really is fantastic! There has been a couple of queried comments in how to implement these.
Ok, so you want to contain these icons within an un-ordered list, obviously within a particular order where the icons appear similar to the screenshot above. Then you make the un-ordered list to display inline, then give a negative margin-left to each of the li you feel is a suitable gap between each icon. Also remember when adding a href link around each image, don't forgot to add text-decoration: none to remove hyperlink underscore. If comments permit adding code, below is an example. Hope this helps with the queries. Thanks

ul li {display: inline;} ul li {margin-left: -10px;} ul li a {text-decoration: none;}
Jordan Walker Mar 22 2010

Auckland's top restaurateur has warned that service in city dining spots needs to shape up for the Rugby World Cup because "a marble bar and beautiful champagne" can still leave a poor dining experience.
Michael Dearth, owner of The Grove inner-city restaurant, said Auckland diners needed better service more than a spectacular view.
"Just because you've got a beautiful million-dollar restaurant on the waterfront doesn't make it enough.
"You can have a beautiful marble bar and beautiful champagne and it can still be [awful]," said Mr Dearth, whose restaurant was judged by Metro magazine as the city's best.
Good service included being proud of the whole city and recommending other establishments and things to do, he said.
"Restaurateurs shouldn't isolate themselves ... You should be able to say, 'Hey, we're not the only restaurant', and recommend a great Thai or Chinese [place].
That's the level of service that's different.
"Take pride in what you do and let go of the ego."
The greatest improvement that could be made was to have well-trained staff, Mr Dearth said.
"I get worried about the cup. I think we need to look further when it comes to training staff.
"It's wonderful that the cup is coming, but to me, we [need to] foster that mentality and culture."
Mr Dearth also warned against restaurants trying to make a "quick buck" from the visitor influx.
"The majority are going to be Australians. These are the people who are going to come back often for business."
But he said the quality of produce, seafood and other ingredients in Auckland was unmatched anywhere in the world, and the city's top restaurants were world-class.
Restaurant Association national president Mike Egan said cup visitors would be more interested in rugby than the quality of restaurants.
"They're not really here to do the grand tour of restaurants ... People will be eating and drinking at all levels of restaurants. I don't think they'll be judging us on world standards."
But Mr Egan said he could understand the point Mr Dearth was making about the level of service in New Zealand, which was undoubtedly different from that in countries where tipping restaurant staff was part of dining out.
"One of the problems is that without tipping, we don't really attract professionals in a big enough number.
"It's only the upper-end restaurant where you get the tips and which can afford the really good staff."
However, he said he thought overseas visitors would appreciate the genuineness of New Zealand wait staff.
Metro restaurant judge Rebecca Jones said Auckland dining had suffered from "cafe-isation", in which the focus shifted away from proper attention to detail and staff training.
There was much more to a good dining experience than just getting food on the table, she said.
"At the end of the day, a good restaurant is already ready.
"But there are a lot of restaurants that perhaps don't have good staff - not the top 50 restaurants, but representative of the vast majority of restaurants in Auckland."

Sludge dewatering
Applications for a wide range of dewatering and thickening applications for fibrous and biological paper industry sludges
Proven and effective technology for sludge dewatering applications
The ANDRITZ sludge dewatering system portfolio covers all types of dewatering machines for all fibrous and biological paper industry sludges. Different types of sludges have different dewatering potential. ANDRITZ assists in finding the suitable solution for each and every application.
To evaluate the dewatering characteristics of these sludges, ANDRITZ can test the sludge at its pilot plant in Graz, Austria. As an alternative, a test run at your mill can be arranged by utilizing the ANDRITZ mobile test unit.
Gravity Table GT: effective pre-dewatering of sludge with low solids in filtrate
The ANDRITZ Gravity Table GT is used as a first dewatering stage for sludge prior to subsequent pressing operations (e.g. pressure filters of sludge screw presses). Gravity is utilized to thicken the sludge from a feed consistency of 0.6–5% to a discharge consistency of 12–22%. The gentle treatment of the gravity table keeps the flocculent consumption low and results in a lower filtrate load compared to other pre-dewatering systems.
- High thickening capacity
- Low energy consumption
- Minimum flocculent consumption
- Low solids load in filtrate
- Optional floating roll to increase discharge consistencies
Thickening Drum TD: efficient and reliable sludge thickening
The ANDRITZ TD, a rotary screen thickener, is an excellent alternative to gravity belt thickeners for continuous dewatering of sludge thanks to its small space requirement.
Due to the efficient and reliable thickening process and the high hydraulic capacity, the TD can remove up to 90% of the water in the sludge. The compact design results in low investment costs and the low specific power consumption, easy maintenance, and low wear of key components help to keep the operating costs down.
- Low investment costs due to smart machine design
- High thickening efficiency (outlet consistencies of 8-20%)
- Low energy consumption and operating costs
- Easy maintenance and fast wire change
- Small footprint due to compact design
Sludge Screw Press SCS: highest capacity, highest dryness
The ANDRITZ Sludge Screw Press SCS is designed for high throughput and for high dryness requirements. It utilizes a conical shaft and a decreasing pitch of flights on the screw to dewater sludge through a reinforced screen basket. Backpressure is automatically controlled at the discharge end to prevent blockage and achieve the highest dryness content even with changing sludge characteristics. The addition of a shaft dewatering zone at the end and optional steam heating can bring the sludge dryness up to 70%.
- Single-line solution with a throughput up to 180 t/d
- Shaft dewatering for higher final dryness
- Patented wear shoes to minimize downtime and maintenance costs
- Optional steam feeding boosts dryness to maximum
- Self-adjusting backpressure unit
- Fully closed system
- Minimal flocculent consumption due to fully automatic control (see: Polyscan)
Continuous Pressure Filter CPF: flexible dewatering of a wide range of sludges
The ANDRITZ Continuous Pressure Filters (CPF) are double-wire presses with a modular design. The continuous pressure filter allows optimized dewatering of even hard-to-dewater sludges.
Depending on the sludge characteristics different machine concepts are applied: The CPF Rhino is well suited for a wide range of mixed sludges with low fiber and significant biological content. The CPF Hippo is used for very press-stable fibrous sludges. All ANDRITZ continuous pressure filters can be delivered with an integrated pre-dewatering table or, ideally, are combined with the ANDRITZ Gravity Table.
- Modular design adapts to varying conditions
- High dryness content of thickened sludge
- Low specific energy consumption
- High throughput with excellent filtrate quality
- Flexible press forces
- Easy accessibility for maintenance

Adam Eran: To show how little they learned, California's Democrats have now put Holder, a candidate for the crookedest AG in history, on retainer to defend against the onslaught of Trump's not-yet-committed crimes.
What to Do with the Anti-Government Outrage
Adam Eran: The real outrage is that private banks receive far more money than any social safety net program would need, but the proposed cuts impact only safety net programs.
Niello's Reform Favors Oligarchs
Adam Eran: In the wake of Reagan's policies, although it was previously the world's largest creditor, the U.S. became the world's largest debtor. Now we have a middle class economically eviscerated by the lost equity in their homes, who tapped this equity during the housing bubble to sustain their consumption.
7 Myths That Drive the Debt Ceiling Debate
Adam Eran: The metaphors that frame the current Federal budget and debt ceiling debates are completely inaccurate, and if the media coverage is any indication, the public has swallowed them hook, line and sinker, too.
Walter M. Plumbs the Depths of Homophobia
Adam Eran: Intolerance is costly in other ways, too. The U.S. doesn't get the cheaper, more effective single-payer health care now because racist Dixiecrats in Congress were concerned that federally-sponsored health care would mix the races in Southern hospitals.
A "Conservative" Response Puts Eran in His Place
Adam Eran: My best wishes to Ms. Cronan, and anyone else commited to willful blindness about facts, with an added plea: Please, be careful not to bump into the furniture. Meanwhile, I will refrain from calling Ms. Cronan "the barbarian."
Deception Alert: "Liberal" Huffingtonpost Distorts the Education Debate
Adam Eran: Waiting for a race of cyborg/celebrity super-teachers distracts from the egregious income inequality and the childhood poverty that worsens educational outcomes in the U.S.
Disaster Capitalism in the Budget Debate
Adam Eran: Historic tax reductions on the wealthy, and the Wall-Street-Fraud recession, have reduced public revenues, and this reduction now makes otherwise too-popular-to-cut programs vulnerable. But are such cuts really necessary?
Design to Fail: Of Supertrains and Sprawl
Adam Eran: One recent such sprawl-enabling designed-to-fail project is California's proposed high speed "supertrain." This would take years and cost billions to build.
California Budget Deficit Not a Real Problem
Adam Eran: The bottom line here is that State spending disproportionately goes to lower-income people, while recent tax cuts have disproportionately favored the wealthiest taxpayers.
Amnesty Shmamnesty
Adam Eran: Would the oligarchy that is the military-industrial-prison-media complex stoop so low as to incite a war, even promoting Iran as a backwater deserving of U.S. "shellacking"? And is the Pope really Catholic?
Proposition 13 History
Adam Eran: So the origin of California's tax reductions, and even its current budget deficit, is arguably oil price inflation. If we want a stable economy, and government without deficits, we need to stop kidding ourselves that spending is a the root our budget problems, and attend to our energy addiction.
Losing the Drug War
Adam Eran: Criminalizing drug consumption, rather than bad behavior, leads to enormous corruption–both domestic and international–and disrespect for the law.

This is a special Tail of DevotionSee All Tails of Devotion
HI, everyone,
I am shy to write my own diary entry. I hope you all like it.
I am worried about Mochi. He was very very sick last week. He usually likes to jump up on the couch and then up to the back of the couch so he can be the king of the first floor. On Sunday, he was too weak to climb up and too unsteady to stay there. Daddy tried to lift him up, but he was too embarrassed to stay there. He was in great pain. Daddy said he had and inflamed pancreas. Funny, Mochi is such a small dog, and is not fat in the slightest. Now he has to eat low fat dog food, and he hates it. He likes dry dog food, and prefers it to moist dog food, but he doesn't like low fat dog food.
Anyway, I know I complained about Mochi being so bossy, but I want the old Mochi back. I won't complain any more if Mochi can be his old self again.
Thanks for everyone welcoming me to America, to California. I will try to live up to your expectations.
Licks and Kisses,
Meiren Secor
Hi, Everybody,
Well, I finally got over my cough and I will be coming to America on Friday. At first, the vet said I couldn't travel because of my cough, but it is better now. My butt is sore from all the shots. I have to get them so I can get on and off the plane. My cousin said to drink a lot of water. I guess it is dry on the plane. I can't believe I will be a world traveling dog fairly soon. First to Beijing, then Shanghai, then San Francisco. Then to Fremont. Then I get to see my dear brother and sister.
Now Mochi, don't be impatient. I expect some breathing space when I get there. Don't show off like all those uncivilized male dogs do, running around like drunken sailors, running into things, acting crazy, fighting, barking loud. If you want to be my friend, you have to be calm and civilized.
See you all soon.
By the way, thanks for your kind notes about Pauli. He is still in my heart.
Bye, Dolly.
Oh, by the way, my uncle has changed my name to Marilin. The Chinese name is "Meiren" which means beautiful person. I don't think I am very beautiful, but I will let Mochi decide that.

Ya I focus on the head of a guys penis because it turns me on, especially when they cum. The more I imagine me or my goods making him feel good it get me going.
Ahhh…the sweet despicable vaginal juice oozing away like a stream of hot lava. How I could just lie down spread eagle with my favourite dildo the while I'm dreaming of a stranger banging me silly not to mention the voracious lapping on my clit till I orgasm and squirt like a mini fountain. The bottom is I like to be eaten and screwed in all my orifices by two well endowed black strangers ,well almost only problem is I'm afraid to do it in real.Getting off solo is well still safe and enjoyable.Haha….
I honestly just think of a penis inserting a vagina whilst masturbating. It seems strange when most women think of a person in particular.. That tends to distract me ha ha.
I generally think about celebs or attractive people around me. I worry though as I'm a married woman, I love my Hubby dearly but I can't say I have ever thought about him when masturbating – is this wrong? I have done it during sex too, imagined someone else.
To many my hubby is an attractive man and I do think him attractive . Thoughts?
Ah, Bettyboo, we gotta love them bad boys, don't we? *sigh*
Also he reminds me of my BF 🙂 in appearance, sexiness and a general air of self assurance (and gorgeous voice) way, rather than being the devil obviously 🙂 which kind of adds to it, i seem to have a type.. ;0)
His voice alone could melt butter…….among some other things. 😉
