Scoop: THE ORIGINALS on THE CW - Thursday, May 29, 2014
A FLASHBACK TO THE 1800s - When Rebekah (Claire Holt) arrives in New Orleans at her brother Elijah's (Daniel Gillies) insistence, she meets Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin), who gives her some unexpected news. Concerned that her brother Klaus is up to no good, Rebekah seeks help from a reluctant Sophie (Daniella Pineda.) At her wits' end, Hayley takes matters into her own hands, but things quickly take a dangerous turn. Determined to uncover Marcel's (Charles Michael Davis) secret weapon, Klaus stays one step ahead and executes his plan.
Meanwhile, after a run-in with Marcel, Rebekah is reminded of all the anger and disappointment Klaus has caused her throughout the years. Finally, Marcel enlists Davina's (Danielle Campbell) help in his own dangerous plan. Leah Pipes also stars. Brad Turner directed the episode written by Diane Ademu-John and Declan de Barra
Family is power. The Original Vampire family swore it to each other a thousand years ago. They pledged to remain together, always and forever. Now, centuries have passed, and the bonds of family are broken. Time, tragedy and hunger for power have torn the Original Family apart.
Klaus Mikaelson, the original vampire-werewolf hybrid, has returned to New Orleans, the city his family helped build, the city from which he and his siblings - Elijah and Rebekah - were exiled a century ago by their relentless hunter father. Drawn back by a mysterious tip that a plot is brewing against him in the Supernatural melting pot that is the French Quarter, Klaus is surprised that the city still feels like home to him despite the decades he's been away. Curious as to why Klaus would return to the one place he swore he would never set foot again, Elijah follows his brother and learns that the beautiful and rebellious werewolf Hayley - Klaus' onetime flame - has also come to the French Quarter searching for clues to her family history. Hayley has fallen into the hands of a powerful witch named Sophie Deveraux. When Sophie reveals to the brothers the almost unbelievable news that Hayley is carrying Klaus' unborn child, Elijah realizes that the Original family has been given a second chance at humanity and the redemption they desperately crave.
Klaus, however, is not so easily convinced that a potential heir is of any importance. He is more intrigued by his recent unexpected reunion with his former protégé, Marcel, a charismatic but Diabolical vampire who now has total control over the human and Supernatural inhabitants of New Orleans. Tensions between the town's Supernatural factions - vampires, witches, werewolves and humans - are nearing a breaking point as Marcel commands his devoted followers and rules with absolute power. For Klaus, the idea of answering to his powerful protégé is unthinkable. As Klaus vows to reclaim what was once his - the power, the city and his family - he realizes that Elijah is right and that his unborn child could be the key to the Originals' return to power.

What the First Amendment is, and what it isn't...
It IS a guarantee that you can say pretty much what ever you want, when ever your want, and largely where ever you want free from fear of being dragged off to some North Korean-style goverment re-education camp.
It IS NOT a guarantee of current or future employment. And yes, I am growing weay of having to explain this over and over and over again.
It appears that in light of that redneck, backwater, hillbilly, "Duck Dynasty" guy's comments about homosexuality to GQ Magazine, I'm not the only one tired of having to restate what the Constitution does and doesn't say. Slate is tired of it. Time Magazine of tired of it. I'd link you to the article that "The Superficial" wrote, but it's full of swears. Here's a bit of what they said:
"I can't count how many times I've explained this, but I'm going to keep doing it. Was Phil Robertson put in jail or fined by the government? Then his freedom of speech is fully intact. That said, should A&E actually be suspending him for his comments that in no way shape, or form should've surprised them? It's in his contract that they can."
What's being lost in the din and manifestation of Christian persecution complex, is who gets this wrong over and over agian. People who should know better. People who've been elected to high office, who swear to "preserve, protect, and defend the Conststituon of the United States." Except half-term Alaska governor and punch line emeritus Sarah Pailn. I don't expect much from her--yesterday, today, or tomorrow.

Here in the US, the Sony Playstation 3 has constantly stood in the shadow of Microsoft's Xbox 360. It launched second, and at an incredibly high price point, and never really recovered from those two disadvantages. Worldwide, units sold is pretty close (around 70 million for both consoles) but Xbox 360 rules the States when it comes to HD gaming consoles.
So I guess when the PS3 is number 1 at something, it's cause for celebration, and it turns out that the PS3 streams more Netflix content (both in the US and globally) than any other 'living room device' and at times it even overtakes the PC in terms of most popular Netflix viewing platform. Both the Playstation Blog and Netflix wanted to share this news yesterday.
Why? Well you could make a lot of snarky comments about this I guess, but generally I suspect it has to do both with the fact that Netflix doesn't cost extra on the PS3, and in a lot of homes the PS3 doubles as Blu-ray player so folks are just accustomed to turning to it when it's time to watch something. I don't have data to back this up; just anecdotal experience.
But there may be more to it than that. Netflix seems to use the PS3 as its testing ground for new features. From their blog:
PS3 was the first computer entertainment system to offer Netflix in full 1080p video resolution with 5.1-channel Dolby Digital Plus™ surround sound and to offer post-play, second screen controls, on device sign-up, alternate audio options including subtitles. PS3 is currently the only platform to experience a new voice user interface called "Max" that's currently being tested. We've been able to easily update these features to existing users of the application and continue to update and test new features on a continual basis.
So good news for we PS3 owners who're Netflix users, I guess. We'll keep on getting new features first.
And as long as we're talking Netflix, the company made a really interesting deal with Disney: Starting in 2016 Netflix will be "the exclusive U.S. subscription television service for first-run live-action and animated feature films from The Walt Disney Studios." (Read the full press release.) That means you'll see movies from Disney, Pixar and Marvel streaming on Netflix at the same time you'd expect them on premium cable channels like HBO and Showtime.
2016 is a ways off, but in a separate deal Netflix is also getting (non-exclusive) streaming rights to classic Disney films like Dumbo and Alice in Wonderland starting in the very near future (possibly by the time you read this). Netflix has more on these deals but suffice to say they're really excited about them.
In related news, Redbox's streaming service, Redbox Instant, has been delayed until Q1 2013, with a beta to start in January, according to a post at Engadget.
Does anyone else think Redbox has missed its window at this point? Amazon Prime keeps getting more and more content, and the anger that was aimed at Netflix last year seems to have mostly dissipated. Redbox also has a lot of catching up to do in terms of getting apps on a wide variety of systems if it's going to compete.

Shots were fired near the Iranian embassy in Beirut Sunday, wounding several protesters and killing one, according to media reports.
According to LBCI, several people were wounded at a demonstration by Syrian rebels sympathizers from the Lebanese Option Party.
An army spokesman told the Lebanese National News Agency that one of the demonstrators died as a result of his injuries. The man was identified as Hisham Salman.
According to media reports, an altercation took place between the protesters and a small group of Hezbollah supporters.
The exact course of events regarding who shot at whom and whether embassy guards were involved remained unclear. The number of people injured and the gravity of their wounds is also unknown.
The Lebanese army reportedly cordoned off the area near the Iranian embassy in the Bir Hassan neighborhood soon after the confrontations, the NNA reported.
Several protests were planned for Sunday in the Lebanese capital and the southern city of Saida, organized by groups who oppose Hezbollah's involvement in Syria by the side of President Bashar al-Assad.
Despite heavy security in downtown Beirut, a protest planned for noon in Martyrs' Square recorded low attendance during the early afternoon.
Al-Jamaa Islamiya, teamed up with local Salafi cleric Ahmad al-Assir, is set to hold a rally in Saida on Sunday evening to express their "solidarity with the Syrian revolution" and "rejection of Hezbollah's intervention in the fighting in Syria.

From Top to Bottom: S&P's Best Picks
Do you look at the big picture when you make investing decisions—macroeconomic conditions, industry trends, stock market action? If so, you could be said to be a "top-down" investor. Or do you like to examine things on a stock-by-stock basis, examining company fundamentals, management, and so on? Then you are taking a "bottom-up" approach.
Rather than play favorites, we decided to combine the best of both worlds in this week's screen.
Let's start with the bigger picture. Standard & Poor's maintains recommendations on each of the 10 sectors that constitute the S&P 500-stock index—consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy, financials, health care, industrial, information technology, materials, telecommunication services, and utilities. Currently, S&P has overweight recommendations on two of the groups: energy and information technology. (We elevated the IT group's recommendation from market weight on Sept. 18 in the wake of the Federal Reserve's rate cut.) Our screen this week used these two groups as a starting point.
Bottoms Up
Then we took the bottom-up approach, using two proprietary methodologies: S&P's Stock Appreciation Ranking System (STARS) and S&P's Fair Value ranking system.
STARS is a qualitative ranking system based on fundamental research conducted by S&P's own analysts. We looked for those stocks in the energy and IT groups that carried S&P's highest ranking of 5-STARS (strong buy). S&P analysts expect 5-STARS stocks to outperform the S&P 500 over the coming 12 months on a total return basis, with the shares rising in price on an absolute basis.
S&P's Fair Value model is a quantitative stock-ranking system. The model calculates a stock's weekly Fair Value—the price at which it should trade at current market levels—based on fundamental data such as corporate earnings and growth potential, return on equity, current yield relative to the S&P 500, and price-to-book value.
Stocks are ranked from 5—indicating significant undervaluation compared to the Fair Value universe—to 1, indicating significant overvaluation. We looked for those issues ranked 5.
When we finished our top-to-bottom search, these 10 names emerged:
|Company (ticker symbol)
|Price (9/20/07)
|Alpha Natural Resources (ANR)
|Noble Energy (NE)
|Superior Energy Services (SPN)
|Seagate Technology (STX)
|Oracle (ORCL)
|NDS Group (NNDS)
|Microsoft (MSFT)
|MEMC Electronic Materials (WFR)
|Logitech International (LOGI)

2010 Movers and Fallers: AFC South
2010 Movers and Fallers: AFC South
(Editor's note: third in an eight-part series on each team's trending players from 2010).
The AFC South flashed a lot of talent in 2010 — when we posted our All-Division teams and looked at each roster, the argument was there that the South could have had the best superteam of any division … well, if you only looked at offense.
Defensive play — and the offensive line play outside of Houston — really suffered in the division this year, which added up to one playoff team and zero playoff wins.
Who rose and fell in 2010? Read on.
Houston Texans
Moving On Up: DE Antonio Smith (-8.8 to +5.8)
Smith was an asset in the Cardinals 3-4 defense in their Super Bowl run, but struggled in his transition to the Texans 4-3 defense in 2009. By the end of 2009 he was showing some of the promise the Texans saw in him when they signed him, and in 2010 he became one of the best players on the Texans defense. Playing opposite Mario Williams, Smith showed that he is a formidable pass rusher in his own right with 64 combined pressures on the year.
Had a Bad Year: LB Zach Diles (+8.3 to -20.7)
In 2009 Diles was the weak-side linebacker for the Texans, and helped makeup one of the strongest linebacking corps in the NFL. In 2010, suspension to Cushing and an injury to Ryans saw his number of pass coverage situations go up by 70%. Opposing teams exposed Diles' weakness in coverage, throwing at him 54 times, for 488 yards. He didn't have the same impact blitzing as last year and looked a little lost in run support.
Give This Guy More Snaps: RB Derrick Ward (+2.1 in 125 snaps)
Although his year with the Buccaneers didn't live up to its hype, Ward returned to the play we saw in 2008 in his limited snaps with the Texans. He averaged 6.2 yards per carry with 3.9 coming after contact. Arian Foster's productivity went down as the season went on, so resting him more often while giving Ward a chance should keep the running game strong during the entire course of 2011.
Indianapolis Colts
Moving On Up: TE Jacob Tamme (-2.2 to +4.5)
Truth be told everyone else on the Colts team that played well this year ether played well last year or didn't play on the team last year. So we kind of have no alternative but Tamme. After barely playing last year, Tamme was forced into the starting role because of an injury to Dallas Clark. He became a reliable target for Peyton Manning,
catching 7 or more balls in his 11 games. Tamme finished with our fourth best receiving grade for tight ends.
Had a Bad Year: RT Ryan Diem (+9.4 to -25.1)
Not many players regressed as much as Diem did this season. The right tackle had an up and down 2009, and this year there was a lot more down. He allowed 12 more pressures in two less games, and was consistently grading a bit below average in run blocking. This year wasn't pretty for the Colts, and Diem was one of the reasons why.
Give This Guy More Snaps: LB Kavell Conner (+2.7 in 316 snaps)
Pretty much everyone who deserved to see more snaps in 2010 got their chance because of all the injuries the Colts suffered. Conner was pushed into the starting role late into the season to play in the base defense and performed nicely against the run, including a very strong game against the Titans. Linebacker isn't a strong point for the Colts, so Conner deserves a shot to keep his starting job.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Moving On Up: C Brad Meester (-14.4 to +14.7)
The past two seasons for Brad Meester are like a before and after shot of someone who has gone on America's Biggest Loser – different to the extreme. In 2009, while returning from injury, Meester was consistently rating in the negatives mostly due to his failures in run blocking. One year later, Meester's success was in his ability to open up holes in the run game. He also cut down on the pressure he allowed – 24 in 2009 to 16 in 2010. At the start of the year you wondered if 2009 was the beginning of his decline, instead it was his road back from injury.
Had a Bad Year: RG Uche Nwaneri(+5.0 to -7.4)
While Meester saw a great improvement, the man to his right saw his rating go in the other direction. Nwaneri played well to begin the 2009 season, but saw his play regress a little at the end. Both Nwaneri's run block rating and pass block rating continued to slide in 2010, and he had a few games where he played very poorly. He's going to need to start earning that big contract soon enough.
Give This Guy More Snaps: TE Zach Potter (+0.2 in 154 snaps)
There weren't many options here for the Jaguars, but we'll go with Zach Potter. While the Jaguars are clearly set at tight end with Marcedes Lewis, Potter made a case to take over at the number two tight end spot over Zach Miller. Potter saw by far his most playing time in Week 13 against the Titans where he performed well in run blocking, and on pass downs never allowed a pressure. Miller's weakness is run blocking, so Potter could see more time in the two tight end sets on run downs.
Tennessee Titans
Moving On Up: DE Jason Babin (-0.3 to +25.1)
When the Titans acquired Babin from the Eagles, I don't think they (or anyone) knew just how big of an impact Babin would have. He became a star on the defensive line, excelling in both pass rush and stopping the run. He was able to lead all defensive ends in both sacks (14) and quarterback hits (20), along with being in the top ten in stops.
Had a Bad Year: RT David Stewart (+18.8 to -9.6)
A lot of the Titans offensive linemen could be talked about here, but Stewart looked to be the best player on the line in 2009 when he performed equally well in pass and run blocking. In 2010, he went from being a good pass blocker to an average one. What really hurt the team is he (along with others on the line) went from being a good run blocker to a dreadful one. Because of that, Chris Johnson had roughly the same yards after contact per carry, but his total yards per carry went from 5.7 in 2009 to 4.3 in 2010.
Give This Guy More Snaps: DE Derrick Morgan (+4.1 in 114 snaps)
Morgan began the season as a rotational players on the Titans' defensive line, but an injury kept him out for the majority of the season. Assuming he makes a full recovery, Morgan should return to being a member of the rotation. A strong pass rusher, he was able to get pressure on 14% of his rushes, a very high percentage for any player on defense.

One of the victims of Continental Flight 3407, Beverly Eckert, was a 9/11 widow who put her grief to good use to make the country safer.
Just last week, Eckert was at the White House with Barack Obama, part of a meeting the president had with relatives of those killed in the 2001 attacks and the bombing of the USS Cole to discuss how the new administration would handle terror suspects.
"She was such an important part of all of our work," said Mary Fetchet, another 9/11 family activist. She learned Eckert was aboard the plane from another close Eckert family friend now headed to Buffalo. Officials investigating the crash have not yet confirmed she was on board the plane.
Eckert, who was flying to Buffalo to celebrate what would have been her husband Sean Rooney's 58th birthday, was one of the most visible, tearful faces in the aftermath of the terror attacks.
She cried as she told the story about how her husband — her high school sweetheart — was on the phone in the World Trade Center telling her he loved her when suddenly there was a loud explosion and nothing more.
She carried that grief to Congress as she tried to make the government do a better job protecting its citizens from terrorism.
Eckert was part of a small group of Sept. 11 widows, mothers, and children who became amateur lobbyists, ultimately forcing lawmakers in 2004 to pass sweeping reforms of the U.S. intelligence apparatus.
They spent months walking the halls of Congress. All of the women were grieving, but Eckert seemed unable or uninterested in holding back her tears.
When it was over and they'd won passage of the intelligence reform law, Eckert vowed to quit her high-profile role "cold turkey." All she wanted, she said, was to go home, buy groceries, and return to something like a regular life.
"I did all of this for Sean's memory, I did it for him," she said, crying again. "There is a euphoria in knowing that we reached the top of the hill. ... I just wanted Sean to come home from work. Maybe now, someone else's Sean will get to come home."
Eckert was flying to her hometown Thursday night when the plane crashed on approach to the Buffalo airport.
After the 2001 attacks, she co-chaired the 9/11 Family Steering Committee, a group of activists devoted to exposing government failures that led up to the 2001 attacks, and fixing them.
She pushed for a 9/11 Commission. She pushed the Bush administration to provide more information to the commission. And when the commission's work was over, she pushed Congress to adopt their recommendations.
It was not an easy role for her.

A bipartisan pair of state senators are working together to sponsor "urgency" legislation to create the right mix of incentives to keep the Palo Alto-based electric car company's expansion in the Golden State. The bill, SB1309, could include tax incentives, equipment credits and an expedited review under the California Environmental Quality Act.
Sen. Ted Gaines (R-Roseville) and Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento) hope these incentives will give California a competitive advantage over four other states: New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and Texas.
"The sad story is that we create it here, and then it often moves offshore or to another state," Gaines says. "Texas has been famous for picking businesses out of California and I think we ought to fight."
Tesla's 4-year-old Fremont car factory has created about 5,000 local jobs.
"The history of Tesla is right here in California," Gaines says. "With the Gigafactory we are talking about another 6,500 jobs, middles class jobs, in a state that has an unemployment rate of a million and a half people."
The Los Angeles Times reports that Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk has also been in talks with the governor's office and is concerned that permit delays could prevent the factory from being built quickly in California. In a call with investors on Tuesday, Musk described California's approval process as "complex and lengthy," Reuters reports.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The New England Patriots won't get any reprieve following their most impressive win of the season over Houston on Monday night. Their next opponent, the San Francisco 49ers, are every bit as challenging a foe as the Texans were, and in some areas are far tougher. The 49ers (9-3-1, 1st in the NFC West), are arguably the best defense in the NFL, allowing the fewest points and ranking 1st or 2nd in almost all yardage categories. Facing the top scoring Patriots offense sets up the old cliche: The Unstoppable Force meets The Immovable Object.
Besides the great matchup, both teams have very little room for error in their quests for top seeding in their conference. The Patriots control their own bye-week destiny, securing at least the #2 seed if they win the remainder of their games. Thanks to a tie game with the Rams, the 49ers are holding their #2 seed by just a half game over Green Bay, and still need a few more wins to keep Seattle at bay for the NFC West division title.

|TO Diff.
|24 (1st)
|6 (T-11th)
This is the marquee matchup of the game, pitting the #1 scoring offense against the #1 scoring defense. What makes San Francisco's dominance so impressive is the relatively low number of turnovers they force (21st in the NFL with 18). They employ a deep group of fast, smart, and physical players to swarm to the ball, closing running lanes quickly and allowing few yards after a catch. It's a suffocating scheme, and the Patriots will have to work for every yard they get.
In the front seven, the first player to watch is defensive lineman Aldon Smith. The Patriots did a decent job containing Houston's JJ Watt, but while Watt is the better all around player, Smith might be the better pure pass rusher. His 19.5 sacks has him on pace to break Michael Strahan's single-season sack record. They also boast a pair of All-Pro caliber inside linebackers in Patrick Willis and Navorro Bowman, who are both on pace for over 120 tackles. Not only does this make running the ball more difficult, but both of these players have decent coverage skills, which will hinder Tom Brady's ability to use the short middle in the passing game.
The Patriots defense showed marked improvement in their rout of the Texans, and all signs would indicate an easier matchup this week. The biggest strength of the 49ers offense is their running game, led by Frank Gore, who has topped 1,000 yards for the sixth time in his last seven seasons. Gore is a tough, downhill runner, which may actually play into the strength of the Patriots' run defense. Typically it's the shiftier backs that give the Pats trouble, so look for San Francisco to try to get 2nd year RB Kendall Hunter – a more third-down-style back – a few extra touches this week.
The big question mark will be at quarterback, where head coach Jim Harbaugh has all but permanently made the switch to Colin Kaepernick. While Kaepernick has more upside than early season starter Alex Smith, his game plays into the Patriots' hands a bit more. New England has typically done a good job containing mobile option quarterbacks in the past. Also, Kaepernick is more prone to turning the ball over due to his youth and play style.
One thing Kaepernick does have going for him is a wealth of receiving options. Randy Moss – making his return to Foxboro – may not have the elite skills he once did, but ignoring him is never an option and these are the types of games he typically comes ready to play. Michael Crabtree is an excellent outside possession receiver, though his targets have gone down since Alex Smith was benched, and Patriots fans already know what Mario Manningham can do after last year's Super Bowl. The player who should scare New England fans the most however, is TE Vernon Davis, who possesses the combination of speed and size that usually causes matchup problems for the Pats linebackers.
– As always at Gillette in December, weather will be a key thing to watch. Early reports show rain and have the temperature above freezing, but not by much. If the temp swings a few degrees south, the Patriots would have the clear advantage in the snow against a warm-weather west coast team.
– Both teams are dealing with a disadvantage. The Patriots have one less day to prepare for this game after Monday Night Football, and the 49ers have to make the 3,000 mile trip to the east coast, which is always difficult for the team from the west.
– All three of the Patriots' top cornerbacks got dinged up against the Texans. While signs point to all three playing and being fine, the Patriots secondary lacks the depth to cover for too much hobbling.
I picked against the Patriots last week, and I'm happily eating crow now. I won't make the same mistake two weeks in a row. The 49ers defense presents some huge challenges, but Tom Brady has been seen preparing for this game since his extra days off after Thanksgiving. And if the Pats could hold the #2 ranked Houston offense to 7 points (Not including the garbage-time touchdown after Ryan Mallett's interception), I don't see how San Francisco gets more than 17 in this one.
Patriots 27, 49ers 17

The growing antibiotic resistance of bacteria and viruses is rapidly pushing us to a post-antibiotic era in which we will have no defense against these killer organisms. It is truly frightening.
Low dosage non-therapeutic antibiotics are used to promote growth and higher dosage antibiotics are used to prevent the premature death of animals from the unhealthy CAFO environment.
Drug resistance is the likely result of this practice and we may not be able to defend ourselves from the onslaught of pathogens with our existing arsenal of antibiotics.
Supplements that focus on immune support may take on a new, very important role in the fight against food and water borne disease.
The focus of the article is how the use of antibiotics in CAFOs is fueling the rise in antibiotic resistant bacteria.
Among other things, he reports that the Union of Concerned Scientists says, "Only about 30 percent of the antibiotics used in the U.S. are administered to people to treat diseases.
The other 70 percent, the vast majority, are administered to U.S. livestock, primarily to compensate for the unnatural and unhealthy conditions of factory farming. "Industrial livestock systems," the organization concludes, "are hog heaven for resistant bacteria."
He also says that if ones goal was to breed antibiotic resistant bacteria, there would not be a more effective system than the factory farm. "It is not entirely an exaggeration to say that as a result, factory farms have become biological weapons factories."
The Pew Commission seems to agree. From the Pew Commission's report on "Industrial Farm Animal Production" (IFAP) we find,
"Another major risk stems from the routine use of specially formulated feeds that incorporate antibiotics, other anti-microbials, and hormones to prevent disease and induce rapid growth.
The use of low doses of antibiotics as food additives facilitates the rapid evolution and proliferation of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.
The resulting potential for "resistance reservoirs" and interspecies transfer of resistance determinants is a high priority public health concern."
The project was funded by a grant from The Pew Charitable Trusts to the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health to investigate the problems associated with industrial farm animal production operations and to make recommendations to solve them.
Fifteen Commissioners with diverse backgrounds began meeting in early 2006 to start their evidence-based review of the problems caused by ifap. The final report was released on April, 29, 2008.
A very recent update to the Pew Commission report from the Center for a Livable Future at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health reports that the trend is worsening and resistant bacteria quickly rising.
If antibiotic resistance from consuming factory farmed meats is a concern, and it should be, one recommendation is to avoid it entirely and look for 100% free range, grass fed beef. The trick is finding it and then being able to afford it. Don't look for it at Micky D's.
One of Watershed's latest projects is to raise public awareness of the imminent and growing danger of antibiotic resistance due to the factory farm system. To that end they have started a petition to ask Walmart to "Support Healthier Animal Farming" and need our support.
The objective is to get Walmart's leadership to use their powerful influence to bring changes to the factory farm system to reduce the threat to public health and safety.
There was a piece of legislation proposed in March 2009 that should have become law but died in committee instead. Nevertheless, antibiotic resistance is an issue that everyone needs to be aware of and weigh in on with their respective representatives and senators. Hopefully, it will be reintroduced in future sessions.
It was H.R. 1549, the Preservation of Antibiotics for Medical Treatment Act. Introduced by Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.), it would have prohibited several types of antibiotics from being used routinely in animal feed.
Passage of the bill was a long shot at best due to the unholy marriage of the pharmaceutical industry and big agribusiness.
The FDA is a toothless tiger on the issue.
The FDA recently announced that it wanted to reduce the use of growth-promoting antibiotic drugs for meat-producing animals because it contributes to drug resistance in humans.
They even issued draft guidelines that recommend gradually phasing in measures that would allow medically important antimicrobial drugs (that is, antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, and antiparasitics) to be given to food-producing animals only if it were considered necessary for ensuring the animal's health. Veterinary oversight would be mandated.
The big joke is that in animal factory CAFOs, the conditions are so filthy and disease ridden, that without the antibiotics every animal in the place would die.
Due to the design of the CAFO system, it is an iron-clad certainty that more and more antibiotics will continue being fed to captive animals and antibiotic resistance will continue to grow.
It's easy to resolve never to eat factory farmed food again and never get sick or need antibiotics. The reality is quite different.
The damage is already done in terms of creating ineffective antibiotics and ever smarter, adaptive bacteria and sooner or later, we will get sick and need the drugs. Too bad...welcome to a world of antibiotics that won't help us much.
So what to do? About the only thing we can do is keep our immune system operating at peak efficiency, detox our bodies regularly, and go organic.
Stephen Harrod Buhner has some thoughts on dealing with resistant viral infections using herbals and Peter de Ruyter has some interesting solutions to antibiotic resistance using "alternate paradigms and options". You can take a look at their books by clicking on the covers shown above.
Getting back to the question of how do we avoid eating factory farmed meat? Of course, the answer is to buy or order from local farms who adhere to the organic philosophy...free range, pastured animals never given growth hormones, antibiotics or GMO feed.
Farmers markets
are ideal places to shop and there are numerous suppliers on line that offer incredible value at reasonable prices. To see what a wonderful example of an online supplier of high quality beef and pork looks like, go no further than Snake River Farms. Ever heard of Kobe beef from Japan, how about Wagyu beef? Same thing and Snake River has it. Click the banner below to be whisked to their website where you can explore, learn and buy.
Antibiotic resistance has now gone genetic. A new gene known as mcr-1 has been discovered in pigs, chickens and people in China. The mcr-1 gene gives bacteria resistance to our last ditch arsenal in the fight against superbugs. The ability of gene mutations to travel between bacteria has been known for years but the ramifications of this mutation being found in people is truly alarming.
How did it get in people? The most logical implication is that it got there through the consumption of contaminated meat from factory farms. The fear is that we are looking at a development that could explode to epidemic proportions of antibiotic resistance.
It looks like the fear is well founded in that the Danish National Food Institute reported that mcr-1 was found in a patient's blood and poultry samples that originated in Germany. How did this same mutated gene get from China to Germany and then Denmark? Most likely, the spread was from imported meat.
If all that wasn't bad enough, there is strong evidence that DNA from these super antibiotic resistant bacteria can now be transmitted in the air and water. That would truly be the end of the age of antibiotics.
Below is the final word in the form of a TED video on You Tube titled "Factory Farms, Antibiotics and Superbugs" presented by Lance Price at TEDxManhattan; it was originally published on Published on Mar 11, 2014. Dr. Price is the expert on antibiotic resistance from factory farms.

Bitcoin Thief Steals Almost Half A Million Dollars
In the first theft of its size, a user loses most of his balance of Bitcoins - the digital peer-to-peer currency.
A Bitcoin user had his virtual wallet hacked this week and lost 25,000 BTC, which works out to about $487, 749. He started a thread on the Bitcoin forum titled "I just got hacked – any help is welcome!" and posted:
Hi everyone. I am totally devastated today. I just woke up to see a very large chunk of my bitcoin balance gone to the following address: 1KPTdMb6p7H3YCwsyFqrEmKGmsHqe1Q3jg
I backed up my wallet.dat file religiously and encrypted it but that does not do me much good when someone or some trojan or something has direct access to my computer somehow.
Block explorer is down so I cannot even see where the funds went. I tried restoring an earler backup of my wallet but naturally that does not work because the transaction has already been validated. Needless to say I feel like I have lost faith in Bitcoin.
The digital peer-to-peer currency prides itself on being hard to forge, however, it is relatively easy to steal as the wallet is just a file on a computer, you just need access to the owner's hard drive in order to take it.
Bitcoin is a decentralized network with no authority and the addresses used to send and receive the currency have no identities attached to them. This means that once they are stolen, it is very hard to trace and recover them.

You have an upload form that must be a post method with the enctype multipart/form-data. This is because when you post the data, the image is uploaded as an "attachment" to the input data, separated by a boundary.
<form method="post" action="yourscript.cfm" enctype="multipart/form-data">

The server side processor locates the multipart boundary, separates it from the rest of the posted data and stores it in a file. Sometimes this is a temporary location (PHP) that needs to be moved, sometimes you can determine the file name/location directly.
A side note, you have to be very cautious of the uploaded file here, insuring it's a valid file upload and not a virus/malware. In other languages, such as perl or PHP, you can use the ImageMagick interfaces to check that it's actually an image file. Checking against a filename extension is not sufficient. Of course, there must be other data cleansing procedures as well to avoid potential injection attacks.
You would then need scripting that connects to the mail server and sends the email with the file as an attachment. Again, in other languages there are modules and tools to make this a relatively easy process.
On success, your script would delete the uploaded file and return a response to the browser.

My husband noticed a small lump on my 5 month-old daughter's face. It's on the left side of her face, just forward of her ear, about where the cheekbone meets just under her eye socket. It's relatively small (about the size of a nickel) and about as thick but rounded. She's happy, solely breastfed and hitting her milestones. The lump hasn't seemed to have grown since we first noticed it, about a week ago. When I touch it she doesn't seem to react as though painful.
She's had her DTaP (first 2), IPV & Hep B combo and hasn't been back to the pediatrician since then (3 months-old). I'm behind in her well-baby checks because I'm reconsidering her vaccinations after her reaction to her last series; the DTaP, IPV, Hep B combo. After reading posts under the vaccination forum, I'm reluctant to continue further until I do more research. I know that I'll be expected to explain why I don't want to continue with vax so I want to be armed with information before taking on the inevitable battle.
I searched this site and found posts about cysts but this doesn't seem to fit what I've seen as far as location and size. Has anyone had anything similar?
I've got 2 older boys, 7 and 4 and they've never had anything similar.
Any help is appreciated.
There are lymph nodes in front of the ear, maybe it's that?

Thanks for the link! Based on the diagram her lump is just above the preauricular node. The very bottom of the lump may just skirt it. I'll likely just call for an appointment next week. I was hoping to get a grasp on it before then and maybe see if there was something I can do for her at home.

Evernote, 5/09/12
U.S.-based notetaking and archiving software and service provider Evernote has announced the launch of its Chinese service, Yinxiang Biji. The company reported that a common complaint of its user base in China, with over a million users, has been poor network connectivity between the US and China. As such it has built a separate service for China.
The service will work with Chinese partners and payment methods, and will provide Chinese-language customer support based in China.
Evernote and Yinxiang Biji will be developed in parallel and share much of their code-base and features. Initially, Yinxiang Biji will not have support for sharing and social features until the company completes the integration with Chinese social networking companies, as Evernote's current sharing and social features are rarely used in China. Existing Evernote users may copy some or all of their notes and notebooks to a new account on the Chinese service.
Yinxiang Biji will comply with Chinese regulations applicable to the service. The existing Evernote service will continue to operate out of servers located in California under the protection of US privacy laws, but the company warned users of Yinxiang Biji that they "should be aware that Chinese authorities may have the right to access their data according to current regulations."

The Godz
Despite Bangs' essay, there are few, if any, detailed histories about this enigmatic band. What is known is that the Godz consisted of guitarist Jim McCarthy, bassist Larry Kessler, autoharpist Jay Dillon, and drummer Paul Thornton. McCarthy, the ostensible leader of the group, went solo in 1973, but the Godz were pretty much over by that point. As to what happened after they split, McCarthy became a photographer, Kessler is a record dealer, Thornton is an actor, and Dillon is living in the wilds of New Jersey. But none of that is as interesting as the three squalling bits of avant-garde noise/junk they recorded from 1966-1968. Sounding like a prototype for Half Japanese or the Shaggs, the Godz play as if they discovered their instruments ten minutes before the tape started rolling. The singing is intentionally off-key, almost parodic, and the songs...well, they sound more like improvised snippets than actual compositions. And while that may not be your idea of pop music, this works, in large part, due to the absolute glee and unself-consciousness with which they approached their peculiar brand of aural nonsense. You may not want to play this every day, but if your tastes run to the fringes of popular music, missing out on the Godz would be unforgivable.
In the late '70s, there was a Midwestern heavy metal band, also called the Godz, who made two albums for Casablanca. There is absolutely no relation between the two bands. In early 1999, the original Godz were resurrected and began recording a new album. ~ John Dougan

On Sunday July 24, 2011 baseball fans at the Twins game left Target Field with a work of art—a poster by artist and Scientologist Robert Blehert.
When commissioned to create a poster in honor of former Minnesota Twins' pitcher Bert Blyleven, Seattle-based artist Robert Blehert was ecstatic. A dedicated sports fan, Blehert was on hand at Target Field July 24, 2011, to autograph copies of the poster that was presented to fans in honor of Blyleven's induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
"I grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota where I started off every morning by reading the sports section," says Blehert, whose days still begin that way today. "I was 16 when I watched my first Blyleven game 40 years ago."
Blehert discovered art at the age of three, watching his older brother Dean perform magic—changing a flat piece of white paper to a life-like face with the use of a pencil.
"I was amazed," he says.
It was also his brother who introduced him to Scientology in 1972 when Blehert was 17.
"I really admired Dean, so when he recommended I enroll on a communications course at the Church of Scientology of Twin Cities I did," says Blehert. "The first thing I noticed when I walked into the Church was how much I felt at home. And the course was a turning point for me. I can vividly recall walking out on the street after practicing communication drills. For the first time in my life I was completely comfortable look people righting in the eye. The stress I used to feel in relationships was gone."
As much as he loves sports and the challenge of capturing motion on canvas, Blehert cannot be simply classified as a sports artist. His work spans many other subjects and genres from florals and still lifes to portraits, and impressionism to the style of the Old Masters. Posters and canvases of baseball, basketball and tennis greats are captured in their moment of glory, while the 2005 portrait of Pope John Paul II, commissioned by Seattle Archbishop Brunett, conveys the warmth, and compassion of the beloved pontiff."
Blehert, 56, says Scientology has helped him enormously in his career and life.
"It's hard to express how much I have gained," he says. "Through studying the books and lectures of L. Ron Hubbard [18] I have gained tremendous understanding of myself and others."
Blehert is committed to helping artists succeed in their chosen field. In May 2011, he presented a seminar entitled "Art and Prosperity" at the Church of Scientology & Celebrity Centre Nashville, Tennessee, and another is scheduled for November. Its goal—to help the artist achieve his or her full potential, which Blehert sees as a social as well as an aesthetic mission.
"As artists, we can influence the civilization toward a renaissance. That is my goal," he says.

Right-Wing Media Can't Get Their "Bain" Straight On New OMB Director
Blog ››› ››› TODD GREGORY
The Washington Examiner blog Beltway Confidential put up a post yesterday reporting that President Obama's acting director of the Office of Management and Budget, Jeffrey Zients, worked at Bain & Company in the late 1980s. The Examiner suggested that this could "undercut attacks on Republican Mitt Romney's career as a venture capitalist, because Zients and Romney are both alumni of Bain & Company."
This is a distortion. The criticism of Romney has focused on his work at Bain Capital, not his time at Bain & Company.
To be clear: Bain & Company is an entirely separate entity from Bain Capital. Bain & Company is a business consulting firm that was founded in 1973. Bain Capital is a private investment firm that was founded in 1984.
Bain & Company's website states:
Bain Capital was formed as a separate entity by former Bain consultants to further leverage Bain's results creation capability. Bain Capital is a venture capital company; it is not a sister company nor a division of Bain.
Romney's fellow Republican presidential candidates have been critical of his work at Bain Capital -- not at Bain & Company. From a blog post by ABC's George Stephanopoulos:
Texas governor and Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry calls his rival Mitt Romney's work at Bain Capital a potentially "fatal flaw" which could imperil Republican chances to win back the White House in November.
Perry, who is trailing badly in the polls, spent the week attacking Romney as a "vulture capitalist," whose work at Bain allowed him to reap huge profits by dismantling companies and laying off workers.
Others in the right-wing media are blurring the distinction between the two Bain entities.
The Drudge Report linked to the Beltway Confidential post with the headline "OBAMA PICKS BAIN MAN FOR OMB...":
Meanwhile, The Blaze took the Examiner's bait and used the headline "No Bainer: Obama's New Budget Chief Worked for Bain Capital, Too":
The Blaze also misidentified the source of its information as The Washington Times, rather than The Washington Examiner:
But what some might be interested to know is that Zients actually worked at the much-maligned company Bain Capital -- the same company Mitt Romney once ran, and which has been the topic of several attacks by both Republicans and Democrats. The Washington Times has more:
Romney worked at Bain & Company, first from 1977-1984, and then again from 1991 and 1992, when he was the Bain & Company chief executive officer.
UPDATE: The Blaze has changed its headline and the text of its post to say that Zients worked at Bain & Company, not Bain Capital. The headline now reads "No Bainer: Obama's New Budget Chief Worked for a Bain Company, Too."
The Blaze said a former employee of Bain & Company emailed them to request that they make the distinction clear.

Paula Deen Settles the Suit That Wrecked Her EmpireBy
The lawsuit that prompted Paula Deen to disclose her past use of a racial epithet ended with a settlement agreement Friday, nearly two months after intense media scrutiny of allegedly boorish behavior and discrimination inside her businesses led to the collapse of her culinary empire. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed; the one-sentence statement filed in U.S. District Court in Savannah announced only that all parties had agreed to dismiss the case.
Deen said in a statement issued through her publicist on Friday that she is "working to review the workplace environment issues that were raised in this matter and retool all of my business operations." She acknowledged no wrongdoing. "I am confident that those who truly know how I live my life know that I believe in kindness and fairness for everyone," she said.
Filed last year by Lisa Jackson, a white woman who had worked for five years managing a Savannah, Ga.-area restaurant co-owned by Deen and her brother, Earl "Bubba" Hiers, the lawsuit started as a race and sex discrimination case. In a ruling last week, U.S. District Judge William T. Moore dismissed the race claims. The judge concluded that, as a white employee, Jackson couldn't sue for the anti-black bias she claimed to have observed at the restaurant, Uncle Bubba's Oyster and Seafood House. Jackson never claimed she'd been retaliated against for complaining about work conditions, which could have given her the right to sue.
That ruling came too late to spare Deen from questions about her racial attitudes in sworn depositions. Excerpts of those depositions made national headlines, and Deen struggled to explain herself in video apologies and an appearance on the Today show. Within days, major sponsors and business partners—including Wal-Mart, Target, and other retailers that sold her products—cut ties to Deen. The Food Network, whose Deen ratings had been dropping, also declined to renew her contract amid the controversy.
As her business empire fell apart, Deen fired her original, all-local legal team last month and hired new lawyers led by Grace Speights, managing partner of the Washington office of Morgan, Lewis & Bookius.
Jackson's lawyer, Wesley Woolf, had written a letter to Deen's attorney before filing the lawsuit last year, seeking $1.25 million for his client and suggesting that the bad publicity from a trial would cost the famous Southern chef far more than a settlement. Deen's then-lawyers replied that the claims were false and declined to make a deal.
"The matter has been amicably resolved," Woolf said today in an e-mail.

How (and Why) Tree Destroyed His Basement Over the Weekend [PHOTOS]
Just last week, my house had an awesome finished basement. Today it is an empty pit of broken dreams. Find out how Michigan weather (and my inexperience as a homeowner) forced me into "remodeling" my basement a few years earlier than planned.
When we first walked through the house that we would later purchase — making my girlfriend and I first-time homeowners — one of the biggest selling points was the full, finished basement. The colors weren't ideal (yellow and black), but with some decoration and furniture — it made for a nice little party spot / band room / playroom for the kids / guest bedroom / mancave. So much so that I don't have any pictures of it without people partying or jamming in it. That was, of course, before that bitch, Mother Nature, stepped in and ruined my fun.
I was in the basement playing guitar — for the first time since all of the really heavy rain — when I discovered there was water coming up through the floor. After some careful examination, I realized there was water under a decent amount of the pergo flooring, so I began to tear it up to find the source.
After I tore up all of the affected floor boards, I had gone almost 3/4 of the length of the full basement. Luckily, nothing was water damaged outside of the floor, drywall and insulation, but it is still one Hell of a task. I enlisted the kids to help me haul out all the ruined flooring, but they're only four years old, so I basically did all of that myself. When it was all said and done, this is, roughly, what I had left.
Next came the fun task of cutting off the damaged drywall. There wasn't a ton of it damaged, but we went far enough up the wall so we could seal the part of the wall that let the water in. I also had to cut out the waterlogged pieces of insulation, which caused quite a bit of itchiness on my arms.
Then I cleaned up the broken drywall, cleaned the floor by scrubbing up all the drywall dust with water, took the shop-vac to the water and turned on several fans to help dry everything I couldn't reach with the shop vac out. Finally, the basement looked like this.
It seems like the dumbest thing in the world, but the entire problem would've never happened had I turned my eaves trough extenders out towards the yard . I had it running along the sidewalk (below, left) as oppose to over the sidewalk and away from the house (below, right). Here's a little homeowner 101 for you — never direct rain water anywhere but away from your house, especially during heavy rain like the recent tropical storm-type weather we've been experiencing.
Luckily, everything we took out is cheap to replace and sealing the leaky areas will be really simple. I was pretty intimidated about taking on a home improvement project of this magnitude, but it was actually pretty easy once I got into it. Now all we have to do is paint the floor all fancy-like (we decided to completely 86 the pergo), replace the drywall and paint the entire basement. I'll post pictures of the finished product in 2 – 12 months… I'm a procrastinator.

When it came to putting the case and motherboard together it was clear that the Gigabyte GA-8I945GMBX and the Thermaltake were not a perfect match.
Before we go into the issues, let's take a look at the features on offer. The chipset heatsink is passively cooled as the airflow from the CPU cooler will pass over it. However, it did get quite hot after the system had been switched on for longer periods of time.
The GA-8I945GMBX utilises the i945G chipset, which means it has integrated graphics. It's fully compatible with dual-core processors and can be fitted with four DDR2 memory modules. There's a single x16 and one x1 PCI Express slot and two PCI slots for expansion. The layout generally follows the BTX reference design with some minor changes. The rear I/O ports are configured very differently compared to those on ATX boards with the keyboard and mouse placed at the bottom, then the USB, FireWire and Network ports follows by the parallel and serial port – and in this case a D-SUB connector – and finally six audio jacks at the top.
The disappointing factor to me was how messy the system ended up being inside the case once everything was fitted in place. The IDE, power and SATA connectors were all located in the path of the airflow towards the rear of the case and the routing of the cables was not optimal. However, an advantage of the CPU cooler shroud is that a lot of the cables can be placed over it, without obstructing the air flow.
From what I've seen then, I have to say that there is still some time off before BTX is ready for the DIY PC builder. My initial concerns about it being a manufacturer only solution and that it would be impossible to build your BTX system have been laid to rest. However, it is clearly of vital importance to get a case and a motherboard that follows the BTX specification 100 per cent to allow for proper airflow as if this isn't the case the components can easily fail due to improper cooling.
Maybe CeBIT 2006 will be when BTX finally makes a real appearance and we will see more than just token products from the various motherboard and case manufacturers, but only time can tell if this will be the case.

Nissan Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hi this is MATT. The AC relay is in the Intelligent Power Distribution Module( right front of engine compartment/ behind headlight). It receives power from fuse 33 (10amp) in the same location. If you need more help, let me know. MATT
Okay, it seems that the AC relay is built into the IPDM(Intelligent power distribution module). E124 is the connector that contains a yellow/black wire (in one corner), this wire is power to the compressor from the relay. There is one more fuse you can check, fuse 48(10amp) in the IPDM , it powers the control side of the relay.
Are you sure it is full of freon? You can put power to the yellow/black wire at E124, and the compressor should turn on. Next step, a scanner is going to be needed because the AC commands are sent thru CAN communication lines to the IPDM. Need more info , let me know. MATT

Bahrain is a tiny country in the Middle East although it has big amounts of oil and good stuff like that. Bahrain is part of the coalition of good guys who oppose the bad guys like al-Qaeda. Oh, so most people in Bahrain are not of the same religion as the rulers of their nation, oh, so there is no democracy in the country of Bahrain, but their leaders oppose al-Qaeda. Modern American policy supports nations on the basis of whether they are good guys against the bad guys.
Eleven year old Ali Hasan Alqudishi is a bad little boy living in a good living Bahrain. He decided to participate in demonstrations against the good guys who run the government of Bahrain. Ali was arrested, beaten, and held in jail for over a month–along with other children. Finally, a judge freed him, but there is a chance he might return to jail.
I assume at the age of 11 in most CIVILIZED nations of the world children are allowed to be children. That means they do dumb things–as well as smart things– and any punishment is left to dad and mom. There is no evidence Ali physically hurt anyone although he may have hurt the feelings of those good guys who run Bahrain–their way or no way!
