New Chapter® is proud to offer this revered botanical in Histamine Take Care – an herbal therapeutic that helps to balance natural histamine levels and maintain open nasal passages.*

In the Hands of Our Children: Collaborative Social Service for Jewish and Muslim Teens
Reconstructionist Rabbinical Association (RRA), Fall 2007
The author discusses the importance of the Martin Luther King Day of service to the Robert Saligman Middle School of the Perelman Jewish Day School and the Al Aqsa Muslim School in Philadelphia. She elaborates on the importance of community service in the opening of the Middle School in 2001 and how vital it was for children to celebrate the differences and commonalities that define who they are. She explains how partnership began with the Al Aqsa Muslim School in 2001 and how productive it has been. She concludes by mentioning that both schools were awarded a Harris Wofford Active Citizenship Award in 2007 for their accomplishments in community service.

Tech Review
June 16, 2011
This week Secretary of Energy Steven Chu announced new initiatives to support the development of the smart grid. But he also warned that the United States isn't doing enough to get the grid ready for cheap renewable energy. And he acknowledged privacy concerns are making some utility customers wary of new smart meters, which are a key component of the smart grid.
The initiatives include a nonprofit organization called Grid 21 that will promote new smart-grid technologies to consumers, a student competition aimed at improving energy efficiency at home, a series of meetings about Recovery Act smart-grid projects, and a "rapid response team" to speed up the review of potential energy-transmission projects. The U.S. Department of Agriculture also announced $250 million in loans for rural grid development. Full details can be found here.

Chu predicted that in 10 to 20 years, solar power will cost six to seven cents per kilowatt hour, making it competitive with fossil fuels. Once that happens, he said, there will be a boom in solar panel installations that will strain the grid.

Historically, the well field property has been actively farmed by a nearby farmer. Due to this and to the site's close proximity to extensive farming tracts, nitrate levels at the Kutztown wells have been a concern.
Through a crop management program implemented for the farmer who utilizes the Borough property, the nitrate levels have been kept under the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Maximum Contaminant Level of 10.0 mg/l. However, a slow but steady trend has been noted over the last several years showing that the nitrate levels continue to creep upward. Recent results have shown levels as high as 9.4 mg/l from one particular well. While blending of sources has allowed the Borough to minimize the levels as much as possible, the increasing results are a concern. The Water Treatment Plant Project will reduce the nitrate level in the drinking water.

Obama — Enough!
I'm a political news junkie. I live and breathe politics. But @10:13 p.m. ET and almost 60-minutes on, Obama's State of the Union address is putting me to sleep.
Imagine what non-news junkies are doing. They're not watching and that's my point.
Bad move Obama team.
Mitt, Thanks for Releasing Your Tax Returns Today
Last week, when Mitt Romney announced he would release his 2010 tax return and a "summary" of his 2011 tax return on January 24 (as in today), I read a tweet (for the life of me, I wish I could remember who it was from) saying something like: Romney wants to upstage Obama's State of the Union address.
For a second I thought, yeah, he does. Then I realized that no, the media will chew on the State of the Union address on Tuesday night and Wednesday (and Thursday and Friday), not so much during the day today.
So, again, I wish I could remember who sent that tweet. In retrospect, I think it might have been from a Romney supporter; a Romney supporter who was drinking his or her own Kool-Aid.
Because as it turns out, nothing could be more perfect for President Obama than to have had those returns released today — that 13%-something income tax rate fresh in the mind of those of us who pay at least twice as much.
Take it away Obama (please!).
There are 2,200 Species of Praying Mantises?
Take a three-minute break from politics folks. It's going to be a long year. Let's pace ourselves.
Did you know there are approximately 2,200 species of praying mantises? I didn't. And man-oh-man, some of them are r-e-a-l-l-y strange:
As I've said before, Mother Nature knows sure knows how to mix and match colors! Wow.
Who needs a color consultant when you've got this kind of artistry?
See the slide show here.
Romney Paid Half the Taxes Obama Paid in 2010
President Obama paid nearly double the tax rate of Mitt Romney in 2010, despite earning only a fraction of the income.
The president paid 25 percent of his gross income in federal tax, compared to Romney's 13.7 percent.
The Obamas' gross income was $1.8 million and they paid $454,000 in federal taxes. The Romneys reported earning $21.7 million and paying $3 million in taxes…
In 2010, Mitt Romney Made in 14 Hours What it Took My Family All Year To Make
Mitt Romney made $21.6 million in 2010.
How does that compare to what you made?
In the case of my family and our total household income, i.e., that of my husband and I, it took Mitt 14 hours, 46 minutes and 15 seconds to make what the two of us made in 2010. In other words, by January 1, 2010 — New Year's Day — at 2:46:15 p.m., after getting up from a nice brunch, Mitt had made what it would take my husband and I the following 364.5 days to make.
Go here to see how long it took Mitt to make what you made in 2010.
Mitt Romney's Unfavorable Rating Skyrockets
Wow. Check out this chart from Talking Points Memo:
Wow. At the beginning of the chart, on October 6 (see interactive version at link above), Romney's unfavorable rating stood at 33%. On Sunday, the last day of the chart, it was 49.3.
The "liberal media" is trying to convince us that ah shucks, paying just over 13% in taxes on millions of dollars ain't no big deal but I hope this chart indicates that We the People aren't buying it. Because it is a big deal. Romney is the poster boy for the lobbying the rich have done to change the tax code in their favor. No, Romney didn't do anything illegal (far as we know), but the laws that give people like Romney such a break weren't written on their own.
Colorado Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Koch) to Boycott State of the Union
From the Denver Post:
We were surprised and disappointed by the laconic press release that Colorado Rep. Doug Lamborn sent out Monday announcing that he "will not attend today's State of the Union Address" because "Congressman Lamborn does not support the policies of Barack Obama."
We hadn't noticed that the Colorado Springs Republican was particularly supportive of the president's policies in 2009, 2010 or 2011, either, yet that didn't stop him from attending those State of the Union speeches. What would propel him into a one-man boycott this time?
After all, if every Republican who "does not support the policies of Barack Obama" decided to stay home, the chamber would end up half empty and the address would amount to a partisan Democratic rally. Surely basic professional courtesy, not policy consensus, induces most Republicans to pencil in attendance, whatever their personal opinion of the comander in chief.
The same of course holds true when a Republican resides in the White House. President George W. Bush was reviled by many Democrats, yet by and large they were willing every January to accord him the formal respect that Americans expect from the opposition on such occasions.
Note that Mr. Lamborn was awarded an A+ by the Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity because, like a marionette, he votes exactly the way the richest brothers in the world tell him to. Maybe by boycotting the State of the Union, he's hoping for an A++, and who knows how many more thousands in campaign contributions.

/// Networks Lay Rotten Eggs
In an inversion of the old proverb that advises against counting one's chickens before they're hatched, broadcasters appear to have an awful lot of dead pullets on their hands. Of the 13 new series that premiered as of Thursday, Sept. 27, four are unlikely to ever make it out of their shells. Others that may live to scratch around the feed bucket are probably just going to wind up getting eaten by raccoons, and perhaps two or three will grow up to attain Foghorn Leghorn dimensions. As far as the less fortunate fowl go, after premiering to 5.11 million viewers and a 1.5 rating in the 18-to-49 demo, Fox's genre mashup The Mob Doctor went on to drop to an unsustainable 3.85 million viewers and a 1.3 rating on Sept. 24. Like so many Monday 9 p.m. Fox dramas before it, The Mob Doctor is DOA. Other notable flops include NBC's widely derided comedies Animal Practice (5.19 million viewers/1.4 in the demo) and Guys With Kids (4.84 million/1.6). The premiere of Crystal the capuchin monkey's new show was down 42 percent versus the time-period premiere of Up All Night a year ago while Guys With Kids failed to match the ratings posted by the previous occupant of its Wednesday 8:30 p.m. slot, Free Agents , a series that was canceled after four episodes. It's not all unhatched eggs and shattered dreams, however

Can you tell me where to change the background in fckeditor.
You can see on this site under Kontakt that the main background color #000000 does show in the editor textarea and its the same color as the text.
Have a look in public_html/fckeditor/editor/css/fck_editorarea.css. You'll want to adjust the body selector below to your liking:
Make sure to clear your browser cache.
The editor's colors are inherited form the body style. Try this in your style.css and let's see if makes a difference:
Notice I added the !important after the color:#FFFFF
One thing I've noticed when trying to adjust the FCKeditor styles, it really likes to cache stuff. So, after making the change, go into glFusion's Command & Control and select Clear Cache. Then, clear your browsers cache and restart the browser to ensure it is loading everything new.
Let me know if this helps.
Hi and thanks,
I got it here :-)
FCKConfig.EditorAreaStyles = 'body { color:#000;margin-bottom:30px;}
Change to:
FCKConfig.EditorAreaStyles = 'body { background-color:#ffffff; color:#000;margin-bottom:30px;}
Hmmm how to solve this (see image).
These are the changes I´ve made to the style.css (I´ll be happy to get the correct answer where to put this to skip !important witch I think is the problem here)
Know I can put all the background info on one row, want it like this for now for a better overview
Just to make sure I understand what you want to accomplish....You want to have an image as the page background, but have a standard white background with black text for the editor?
What I would do is this:
Create a custom htmlheader.thtml template and specify your background image there on the body tag:
Change your style.css back to the default settings and I think you should be good to go.
Worked like a charm! Thanks alot!
Just a notice; You forgot the l in layout
If someone else want to fix this
This is my code for all the above:
I creating a "new" theme base on novaeu, so there is no need for custom for me
If you got Skype I would like to add you My screeen name is "Dannan" or what you call it

|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
In the midst of 2009's heated playoff race, Major League Baseball released its 2010 schedule on Tuesday, and Red Sox fans are already salivating, as are baseball fans in general. The Twins will be playing home games in an outdoor stadium for the first time since 1981, and several key figures will become free agents for 2010, including Hideki Matsui, Andy Pettitte, Vladamir Guerrero, and our very own Jason Bay. With all this in mind, what can we expect from the Red Sox next year?
For the first time since 1950, the Yanks and Sox start and end a season at Fenway Park. They play April 5th through 8th (with an off day on the 6th) in Boston, May 7th through 9th in Boston, May 17th through 18th in New York, August 6th through 9th in New York, September 24th through 26th in New York, and October 1st through 3rd in Boston. This is an interesting move for a few reasons.
All nine games in New York come in a row, so that will prove to be an appealing dynamic. Sandwiched in between Boston games, this will give the season series a World Series like feel to it (due to how the series distributes home games between teams) and will give both teams some basic practice for the postseason.
Starting off the season against each other will give the heated rivals the chance to seize the opening momentum at the beginning of the season which could be pivotal in the following weeks. The end of the season could easily have playoff implications. So much was on the line at the end of the NBA's 2008 season and the NFL has flexible scheduling in place to ensure games with playoff implications will end its season, so it is only natural that the Red Sox and Yankees face off in such a way next year.
Also of note is the distribution by time of Sox/Yanks series. Two time intervals place series about a week apart, giving both teams a chance to duel in rapid succession. There is also a point where they don't face each other for nearly three months. This will be a good test to see if both teams remember how to deal with each other, and whether or not they can concentrate adequately enough on opponents in between (which shouldn't be much of a problem with three months to spare).
Already, controversy has been mulled over, regarding whether or not the schedule should have been released now. After all, the 2009 season has not yet been finished. Many people have been saying that teams should be allowed to concentrate on one cookie before starting to eat the next one, though it could be quite helpful as long as teams think about the situation correctly.
Taking the season one game at a time is a strategy used in every competition, and allows teams to avoid being distracted by multiple thoughts, opponents, and styles at once. For teams that like to do this, it will give them a competitive edge over teams that don't. It works for Bill Belichick, and it can work for Terry Francona.
Sure, the Red Sox could lose Jason Bay to free agency. But they could also pick up some good talent as well. Could you imagine Andy Pettitte coming in and shoring up a Red Sox pitching staff that has been shaky at times? Or John Lackey, who had a thrilling pitchers' duel with Dice-K Tuesday? What about Hideki Matsui or Matt Holiday providing oomph for a Sox offense that has also sporadically struggled throughout the season? We definitely have the pocketbook to make some offers.
Interleague play starts for the Red Sox on May 21-23 in Philadelphia, and resumes on June 11 in Boston against the Phillies. No problem; we're used to them from this season. This second three game set is immediately followed by three-game home stints against the Diamondbacks and Dodgers and three-game road stints against the Rockies and Giants. The Diamondbacks will likely be easy, we know how to deal with Colorado from the 2007 World Series, and the Giants haven't been much of a player lately, and have even been fading in the NL Wild Card race in the last month or so (though Tim Lincecum would be fun to face).
Of course, the Dodgers series is the highlight of 2010 Interleague Play. Manny Ramirez will return to Fenway for the first time since his unceremonious departure in 2008. He'll look to leave a mark against his former team, while Red Sox Nation will look for revenge for the more malevolent "Manny being Manny" attitude prior to leaving. Big Papi and Ramirez in a mini home run derby should provide much entertainment.
The Red Sox have had little to cheer about this year when facing the AL West, including being swept in Texas. With the Red Sox leading the Rangers in the Wild Card comfortably anyway, this trend may not change as much as we would like. Being more aggressive against the West, especially against the weaker teams, would be a nice, easy way to improve performance. Getting Ortiz to elevate his swing and stop swinging under too many pitches would make great strides.
The Rays have been a thorn in our side for years, going back to their Devil Ray days. Dice-K especially has had major issues against them, just as the Red Sox have had major issues at Tropicana Field. After winning two games there in the past two seasons, Boston's most recent series there resulted in two Sox victories, so we'll have to see if this means the Sox are ending their losing woes in Tampa that has held back their record.

text:
By Gen. Samuel V. Wilson, president emeritus
What we are celebrating here today has the potential to become a profoundly important undertaking. I would like briefly to tell you why this is so.
Reputable historians tell us that the average age of great civilizations has been right at 200 years. That means if we start our birthday count at 1776, then we are already deep in the bonus period. We are also told that, by that second-century mark, erstwhile prosperous societies have tended to become slothful, soft, and hedonistic and to lose social and political cohesion as self-interest begins to predominate over the interests of a people as a whole. Sound familiar?
It is important for us to note in this connection that the world has become an exponentially more dangerous place with the revolutionary advances that have taken place in the technological arena, especially in the period of World War II and its aftermath. Now 21st-Century technology makes available incredibly destructive power to a single, determined terrorist—power possibly exceeding that which formerly might belong to an army. Think of Pan Am 103 exploding over Lockerbie, Scotland, on December 21, 1988, killing all 259 people on board, not counting eleven people on the ground. Think of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
So the question for us now becomes: Will these United States of America go the way of ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, the British Empire, and others we might name—one more mighty skeleton buried in the sands of time—or can we, as I used to tell my Russian colleagues during the Cold War, can we remain forever young and vibrant by drinking from the fountain of youth, which for us in America is the polling place, and be rejuvenated, getting a fresh start every four years?
In this light, are we in America proving capable of meeting the threats, challenges and issues facing us—internal as well as external—or are we beginning to falter? Has Washington lost the bubble? If so, can we recover? Is the upcoming generation doomed to inherit the bitter wind that blows across our past mistakes? Is that shaking ground beneath our feet the silent sounds of rot and decay?
I submit to you that the most ominous danger of them all is our acute poverty in leadership today—in all fields—government, business, church, sports, education/academe. News headlines tell us daily of egregious violations of moral principles and of public trust that undermine our confidence in both governmental and private institutions. We have witnessed just this spring and summer a classic example in the political arena of narrow-minded, self-serving politicians on both sides of the aisle stubbornly seeking to serve their own partisan political aims and in the process bringing the entire country to the brink of economic disaster. Diogenes, with his lantern seeking to find an honest, morally courageous man who can see beyond his own selfish interests, would be a very lonely and frustrated figure in Washington today.
Yet there is reason for hope. I believe that little Hampden-Sydney College and others like us can make a difference in this situation even if our numbers are small, for, when you list them, our founding fathers were also few in number. Take away eight to ten of them, beginning with Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Madison, Hamilton and Franklin, and we might never have become a sovereign nation. Rather we might be more like Canada or an assorted number of smaller nation-states resembling those of South America. Thus, we would observe that it was the dedication and the quality of leaders responding to desperate need at the time of our revolution, not their numbers, that made the difference. Armed with this knowledge, we are undeterred by considerations of size.
And why is Hampden-Sydney a good place to start? The history and rich traditions of this venerable college put wind in our sails. As many of you are aware, sons of Hampden-Sydney have played a stellar role over the years in keeping our ship of state on a steady course. We have made, and continue to make, a difference far out of proportion to the size of this small, all-male institution. We can take great pride in the varied and stellar achievements of the many governors, congressmen, ambassadors and judges as well as corporate and community leaders, and a U.S. President, who have passed through the college's gates. In each instance, their careers were shaped by the rich liberal arts curriculum and the demanding honor code of this institution.
As many of you are aware, sons of Hampden-Sydney have played a stellar role over the years in keeping our ship of state on a steady course. We have made, and continue to make, a difference far out of proportion to the size of this small, all-male institution.
You should also know that today Hampden-Sydney men are deployed around the world in a wide variety of leadership roles and functions in the U.S. Foreign Service, Intelligence, the military, the Peace Corps, also serving in non-governmental charitable agencies, on overseas teaching fellowships, and in international business—to name a few. At home, we find them involved in useful public service, especially politics, at the local, state, and national levels as senior staff officers, as elected officials, as chiefs of staff to key political figures, as political campaign managers, and as advance men, as speech writers, as news correspondents, and as fundraisers. Illustrative examples are many; a graduate of the class of 1992, Rod O'Connor, was the Chief Operations Officer of the Democratic National Committee responsible for organizing and overseeing the Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles in 2000. He must have done something right, for four years later he was promoted to Chief Executive Officer of the National Committee and charged with staging and supervising the Democratic National Convention in Boston in 2004.
The record of Hampden-Sydney men, both in and out of uniform, protecting our foreign policy and national security interests overseas is equally impressive. For some reason—and I leave you to speculate on what it might be—we have had a marked increase in Hampden-Sydney men going into military service and Intelligence over the past two decades. Their unusual success, almost to a man, practically brings tears to this old soldier's eyes. A number of them have served and are serving with distinction in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other hot spots. We in the Center here somehow manage to keep in telephone and e-mail contact with them. For me, that meant three incoming e-mail reports and four long distance telephone calls this past weekend, and we are delighted that many of them (along with others serving in non-military roles) return to campus at the first opportunity. That provides an opportunity to celebrate them and for them to tell their stories to current students at informal, late afternoon gatherings here at the Center. To a man, they cite how their Hampden-Sydney liberal arts experience, with emphasis on learning how to reason logically, to think rationally and clearly, and to communicate effectively, gives them a marked advantage over their peers, who have not had a similar opportunity. Importantly, to this point we have not lost a man, but they are placing themselves in harm's way, and I worry deeply, especially when I'm trying to go to sleep at night.
So, I ask you to recognize that there is such a thing as the Hampden-Sydney man and I would like to offer you yet another specific example of one of them.

A number of us here at H-SC watched the PBS NewsHour with Jim Lehrer on Monday evening, 18 January 1999, with great interest. Discussion during part of that program centered on the 42nd President's pending impeachment trial and involved five selected college newspaper editors from around the country. Represented were Princeton University, the University of Southern California, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of Wisconsin and little Hampden-Sydney College. The editors from the four large universities named tended to ramble somewhat about the subject, saying most students on their campuses are not really interested in the 42nd President's alleged indiscretions and the resulting congressional—and public—reaction. According to the representative from Princeton: "Our students are primarily concerned with final exams, graduation, and the stock market."
In sharp contrast to this remark, Greg Thomas '99, editor of The Hampden-Sydney Tiger and a participant in David Marion's public service program, observed that many Hampden-Sydney students were deeply interested in this matter, some of them feeling that if the President were a student at Hampden-Sydney, he would be expelled for lying. (Remember "I did not have sex with that woman"?) Thomas continued: "Yet, here he is, the leader of our country, and he gets to keep his job." Later in the program, Thomas was mildly critical of the public media, saying, "People paid attention to the issue at first because it was about sex. The mass media pandered to the lowest common denominator, but at the heart of the issue was the Presidency of the United States."
Why do I relate this story to you? The point is whether you agree or not with Greg Thomas' point of view, our young H-SC representative stood tall, showed that he was knowledgeable about what was going on at the seat of government, took a responsible position, and stated it well and without equivocation, while his other editor colleagues from leading American universities waffled. And the complimentary telephone calls, letters, and e-mails poured in to my office in the aftermath, a number of them asking for college catalogs and other information about Hampden-Sydney.
I should quickly point out, however, that Greg Thomas was not and is not unique at Hampden-Sydney; indeed, for the most part, he is representative of the student body. He is simply the kind of young man we continue trying to raise here on this hill—"Good men and good citizens in an atmosphere of sound learning"—the kind of young leader we endeavor to prepare for the dangerous and challenging world of the 21st Century, the kind of young man who will steadfastly endeavor "to stand on principle and do the right thing," regardless of its cost to him.
So, let me repeat what I said in the beginning of these remarks that what we are celebrating here today has the potential to become a profoundly important undertaking. I hope I have made the case why this is so.
In closing, let me add that many, if not most of us seek a cause, a noble undertaking, larger and more important than our own selfish interests, in which we can immerse ourselves, where we can find true meaning and a sense of fulfillment in our lives. So, let an old man, who will be well into his middle 90s when the currently matriculating H-SC class graduates, let this old, old man tell you who seek a cause worthy of serious effort and sacrifice, that the cause is here on this hill.
As my old first sergeant many years ago used to say to me when he had just laid a weighty observation on me: "Think about it, Sir. Think about it."
And so I say to you this afternoon, "Think about it."
Thank you for your interest and loyal support as evidenced by the simple fact that you are here this afternoon. May God bless us all.

The no-hitter was the third ever in the history of Smokies Park since opening on April 20, 2000. Smokies pitcher Leo Estrella threw a six-inning no-hitter against the Orlando Rays on May 27, 2000. Orlando Rays pitcher Gerardo Garcia returned the favor to the Smokies on May 21, 2002, throwing a seven-inning no-hitter during a double header.
Sam Fuld got the Smokies offense going early tonight with a lead off home run off Stars pitcher Corey Thurman (2-4), his second of the season, to give the Smokies a 1-0 advantage in the 1st inning.
The rest of the game belonged to Holliman, as he mowed down the Stars batters one after another. For the game, Holliman threw 81 pitches, inducing twelve groundouts and six fly outs. To further help his cause, Holliman belted a two-run home run over the left field fence after a Jorge Cortes double to stake the Smokies to a 3-0 lead. He let his arm do the rest of the job. The entire Smokies team mobbed him after retiring Brenden Katin on a groundout to end the game, and tipped his cap to the fans during a post-game appreciative standing ovation.
In game 2 of the double header, the Smokies completed the sweep with an impressive 4-2 victory over Huntsville. Matt Avery got the spot start for the Smokies, and pitched well in his first start after a rough beginning. Avery went three innings, giving up two runs and walking three batters. Adalberto Mendez (2-4) came in for two innings of scoreless relief to get the win, and Jim Henderson notched his fifth save as a Smokie in his return appearance after a stint in AAA Iowa.
Huntsville jumped on Avery early in the 2nd game, plating two runs to take a 2-0 lead. Tennessee struck back in their half of the 1st inning with three runs of their own to regain the lead. The Smokies were aided by a couple of Stars errors in the inning, which helped score Jemel Spearman to get things going. The real damage was done by Issmael Salas with a two run single to score Casey McGehee and Jake Fox to stake the Smokies to at 3-2 lead.
Tennessee never looked back after the first inning, and plated another run in the bottom of the third to go up 4-2. All in all, the Smokies touched up Stars starter Steve Hammond (3-7) for four runs, only one of which was earned. Mendez and Henderson slammed the door on the Stars offense to help Tennessee improve to 3-1 in the 2nd half of the season.

Do you think photos of Osama bin Laden's body should be released?
Asked at Dillons, 1015 West 23rd St. on May 6, 2011
"Yeah. I guess just for the proof. You can say anything without a picture."
"No, I don't think so. He has done so much bad for this country I think we just need to get on with it."
"I have mixed feelings. I don't think it would bother that much but it could give full closure to those most affected."
"I don't think they should be released. If they're out there, they'll be out there forever and kids don't need to see more of that."

There are a lot of so called "family values" Republicans calling for the release of these pictures. I would not like to have children seeing these pictures. I don't let children I care for watch violent TV, movies, or games. How would I protect them from this? The law makers who are calling for these pictures probably could ask for a personal viewing. If that isn't good enough for them, too bad.

It is not the wise thing to do to broadcast photos of this sort of violence, what's next videos of executions? Let's forget about Bin Laden and the "Royals" and have some news that reflects the needs of American citizens.

No. It serves no purpose; the "deathers" will claim it is not real. The only purpose it would serve would be to give pleasure to those who want to see his suffering. If there is a line between justice and vengeance, that would cross it.
Chris Golledge 6 years, 1 month ago
I'm OK with the killing. Nobody asked whether the people in the towers or on the planes were armed when they were killed. But, splashing his photo around would be in the same vein as dragging enemy soldier's bodies around town.

Do I think pictures of Osama's body should be released?
No. We don't need the whole body shot. Just the head shot will do.
Just kidding, of course. I don't need to see a photo. I trust my government in everything they do.
Shoot, I'm still kidding.
Seriously this time, no photo, unless he was caught wearing a Hawaiian shirt or something like that.
And what was up with FoxNews calling him "Usama" with a U? Anybody?
beatrice 6 years, 1 month ago
After seeing some of he anti-Obama comments coming out of a few people on these boards, I was curious to see what was being said on FoxNews. I was glad to see they weren't doing the same. I wouldn't say I "watch" it, or any television news, for that matter.
So was "Usama" just a typo, or do they always spell it that way on Fox?

Actually that's not me...I've never been into this whole 'birther' thing. Why even release the documents at this point? All the 'birthers' are just going to say they are faked. Find a nurse or two who was at his birth, 'they'd' still discount it
Donald Trump is a moron...now he's calling for Obama's grades to be made public? What will you wine for next Donald, if Obama's grades were to check out..?
There are other 'serious' problems you can find with Barack, forget this goofy stuff.
tbaker 6 years, 1 month ago
No. DoD says it will incite further violence in places where our troops already face enough violence. Sure I'd love to see it and rub the terrorists nose in it, but I gotta go with DoD on this one.
Besides, AQ has already acknowledged his death. Who needs a photo when the enemy admits the guy is dead?
RoeDapple 6 years, 1 month ago
Good for you bea, if there's anything about all this political bickering that gets to me is those who say FOX News is wrong, liars, etc. then in the next breath say they refuse to watch it! You know I lean a little to the right and I probably haven't watched more than 10 hours of FOX since it began. I would much rather watch the other networks. See what influences the left.
beatrice 6 years, 1 month ago
Exactly. Not quite the seriousness of The Godfather's "keep your friends close, and your enemies closer," but it is along those lines. Good to see from time to time what those leaning right are being told. It is also good to watch the news while suspicious of the source. While I usually don't bother with any television news, I watch MSNBC least of all. That slanted news stuff just drives me crazy, even when I agree with it. For slanted news, I stick to the Daily Show or the Onion News.

Publication Date: 11/1/2006
Citation: Ding, X.S., Schneider, W.L., Chaluvadi, S., Mian, M.R., Nelson, R.S. 2006. Identification, characterization and use of a brome mosaic virus strain as a vector for gene silencing in monocotyledonous hosts. Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions. MPMI 19:1229-1239 Interpretive Summary: Gene silencing relies on a natural plant pathway to regulate excessive accumulation of messenger RNAs (mRNA). Any mRNA that is transcribed above acceptable levels is targeted and destroyed. Virus induced gene silencing (VIGS) occurs when the host plant uses the same pathway to recognize high levels of viral RNAs and degrade them. This has been a useful tool for studying genetics in dicot plants, as any gene can be silenced by expressing a portion of its sequence in a viral RNA. For monocots (grasses, corn, wheat, rice, etc…) this tool has not been utilized because of a lack of acceptable monocot plant viruses. This paper describes the discovery and characterization of a new strain of the monocot virus Brome mosaic virus (BMV). The virus was named F-BMV, and it was found to be capable of infecting rice, barley and a particular variety of corn. The genes necessary for the expanded monocot host range were identified, and the virus was cloned and modified for use as a VIGS vector. Vectorized BMV will be useful for analysis of gene function in rice and maize for which no VIGS system is reported.
Technical Abstract: Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a useful tool for analyzing gene function in dicotyledonous plants. The procedure, however, has not been fully utilized due to the limited number of virus expression vectors for monocotyledonous plants, especially rice. Here we report the cloning and modification for VIGS of a virus from Festuca pratensis (tall fescue) that infected rice, barley and a specific cultivar of maize (Va35) under our greenhouse conditions. Through capsid analysis and sequencing the virus was determined to be a strain of Brome mosaic virus (BMV). The virus was named F-BMV (F for Festuca) and determinants necessary for systemic infection of rice were genetically mapped to RNAs 1 and 2 of the tripartite genome. cDNA from RNA 3 of the Russian strain of BMV (R-BMV) was modified to accept inserts from foreign genes. Co-inoculation of RNAs 1 and 2 from F-BMV and a modified RNA 3 from R-BMV (infectious virus designated H-BMV; H for hybrid) containing portions of host genes to leaves of maize, barley and rice resulted in visual silencing-like phenotypes that were correlated with decreased targeted host transcript levels in systemic leaves of these plants. The VIGS visual phenotype for targeted host genes varied from maintained for actin to transient for phytoene desaturase, lasting through two nodes of growth with incomplete penetration through the leaf lamina. F-BMV RNA 3 also was modified to allow greater accumulation of virus while minimizing virus pathogenicity. The modified vector, C-BMVA/G (C for chimeric), was shown to be useful for VIGS. Vectorized BMV will be useful for analysis of gene function in rice and maize for which no VIGS system is reported.

Whether it's joy, sadness, envy, excitement... There's a reason behind every human emotion. Sometimes the reason is clear and obvious, and sometimes we need to introspect to figure it out. So why do we hate? What's the reason/purpose behind it? We're talking here about hating people, not an object or a situation..
For the sake of this article, I want you to think of someone you hate. Any random person in your life, someone you don't like. A name just popped in your head. That's the person we need.
Now I want you to think: why do you hate this person? You can open a notepad and jot down all the reasons you can think of.
You will have something that looks like this:
-They are rude to me
-They are always late
-They are loud
These are NOT the reasons you hate this person. Actually, you don't even hate this person. You hate "rudeness", "lateness" and "loudness".
Because you hate yourself when you are rude, late or loud.
Maybe when you were young, your parents used to yell at you for being loud. Your girlfriend dumped you for being rude on one occasion.. etc
Every person you hate reflects something(s) you hate about yourself. Loving others starts with unconditionally loving yourself.
Next time you feel hate towards someone, ask yourself: What am I hating in this person? And how does it relate to me?
I leave you to ponder on this.
I leave you to ponder on this.

BASKETBALL: Pacific men win twice over the weekend to get back in the Northwest Conference fray
The Pacific men's basketball team appears to be hitting its stride, winning two games at home over the weekend to get back in the Northwest Conference mix.
Pacific (5-10, 3-3) crushed Linfield on Friday night, then held off George Fox in a nailbiter on Saturday. The two wins landed the Boxers in a three-way tie for fifth place with Willamette and Lewis and Clark.
Pacific dismantled Linfield (9-6, 4-2) on Friday night in front of a huge home crowd for 'Pack the PAC Night,' a special event featuring free admission for local students and youth basketball teams. More than 800 fans showed up for the game - nearly double what the Boxers typically draw for a home game - and they got quite a show as Pacific rolled to an 81-51 win over the third-place Wildcats.
Junior forward Garold Howe led Pacific with 20 points and 11 rebounds, while fellow post Joe Van Domelen added 18. Donnie Harrison-Davis sprung for 19 points as the Boxers shot 49 percent from the field, including a 6-for-11 effort from three-point range.
Pacific used a 14-0 run to break an early tie, eventually settling on a 39-27 halftime lead. Linfield sliced the gap to eight points in the opening minutes of the second half before Pacific pulled away for good. The Boxers led by 20 midway through the stanza, then closed the game on a 13-2 run, punctuated by a Jeremy Hinderman dunk.
'Our guys played a pretty complete game. We played unselfish and we played hard,' said Pacific head coach Jason Lowery. 'I was surprised to see the margin balloon like it did, but it shows that good things can happen if you keep playing hard and together for 40 minutes.'
The Boxers needed all 40 minutes to get past George Fox (4-11, 0-6) the following night. Pacific forged ahead with 6:32 remaining and held a slim two-point lead in the closing seconds before Howe made four straight free throws to secure a 74-70 victory.
Howe had another stellar game, finishing with 28 points on 10-for-17 shooting. Hinderman and sophomore A.J. Gaulton scored 11 points apiece.
George Fox led 30-22 after a sluggish first half, and the Bruins held the lead for much of the second half as well. Pacific took its first lead of the second half on an arcing three-pointer by Howe with under seven minutes to play.
The Boxers would lead by as many as seven points before George Fox made a late run, pulling within two on Brent Satern's jumper with eight seconds left. The Bruins were forced to foul, sending Howe to the line four times in the final four seconds. The junior made all four shots to cap a 22-point second half.
'Garold is a talented player who is continuing to adjust to the program and our system,' Lowery said. 'He was outstanding offensively this weekend. He really spearheaded our run against George Fox and made some big baskets and free throws.'
Pacific will have a chance to make up some ground in the conference standings this weekend with a road trip to Willamette (5-10, 3-3) on Friday and a home game against Pacific Lutheran (8-6, 4-2) on Saturday. Willamette is currently tied with Pacific, while Pacific Lutheran sits a game ahead of the Boxers.
'Willamette runs their motion and flex [offenses] as well as anybody, and they are always tough to guard because they invert so much offensively,' Lowery said. 'PLU is explosive offensively. They run the floor, are great in transition and in the half court they put in four guys who can shoot it and drive it around the conference's best post player.'

About Marty
I am a wife, mother of 3, a Master Personal Trainer and Nutritional Guidance Counselor .Most importantly, I am here, doing this, because I have experienced first hand that God not only desires to help us reach our health and fitness goals, but He has the perfect plan that will lead us to a lifestyle of freedom and self-control. I have come to know that true health is more than just having a strong and healthy body-though that is something we should all enjoy. True health also includes a strong spirit and soul. It is when our spirits are full and our minds are strong that living a healthy lifestyle becomes easy.
God's desire for all of us is life, peace and joy in every area . No matter who you are, where you are in life, or what fitness level you are at, there is always room for improvement-you can always go higher. We simply can not exhaust God's ability to make us better. I believe with all of my heart that God has called my team and I to equip you and your family with what you need to go higher, spirit soul and body.
Marty's testimony (in summary)
At the age of 8, I began turning to food for comfort. Food became my friend and my coping mechanism for stress for many years to come. Though I was "pudgy" at times, my unhealthy relationship with food was not that evident until the age of 15, when I stopped growing. I became not only overweight, but as a teenage girl, hugely aware of the pressure to be thin. I associated thinness with beauty, value and acceptance and being overweight meant ridicule, failure and eventually, self hatred. I would spend the next 15 years of my life fighting this war, struggling for freedom and searching for answers. Either overeating or on a diet, "normal eating" was something that was no longer familiar to me-I simply could not control what I ate.
Even those closest to me were unaware of the daily struggle I faced. I was in bondage and I was beginning to lose hope that I would ever be free. Though I had asked God for help numerous times I continued to fail. I knew something was missing. I did however know that He loved me and that there had to be a way out. I made a decision that I would never turn back from, a decision to seek God in this area with every ounce of my being. And God did show me the way- to freedom, to transformation and to a strong and healthy body. When I made that decision, I told God, that if He would help me conquer this issue, I would share what He showed me with all who would listen. And, I have never stopped learning more from Him and will never stop seeking more from Him. That is why I became a master personal trainer, nutritional guidance counselor, author and speaker. He called me here for you. And to the best of my ability (with His help and the support of my team) I will do all that I can to help you reach your goals, maximize your potential and enjoy a higher quality of life.

Water management at the Island Park Reservoir
ISLAND PARK, Idaho - In his State of the State Address, Idaho Gov. Butch Otter proposed allocating $15 million to water management. That money would be divided between a number of projects statewide, with the possibility of $2.5 million for the Island Park Reservoir.
The project would expand the dam and allow for close to 30,000 acre feet more in storage water. However, the proposed funding would not go to actual construction, but rather to analyze the final plans for the dam based on the Henry's Fork Basin Study.
"The money in the budget for the Idaho Water Resource Board is essentially to further that study, there is a lot more work that needs to be done to determine the specifics of that project," said Brandon Hoffer, executive director of the Henry's Fork Foundation.
"One of the water proposals being looked at is the utilization of existing flood control space in Island Park as active storage. That can be then used for a variety of water resource purposes," said Jeff Raybould, chairman of the Fremont-Madison Irrigation District.
Those purposes include agricultural use, but Hoffner also pointed out environmental management.
"We would look for this proposal to still adhere to our drought management planning process ... essentially the correct ecological flow in the river so that we can carry juvenile fish for year to year and recruit them into the population. We wouldn't look for those things to change, but we would have the additional 26,700 acre feet of storage in Island Park Reservoir."
Then there is the issue of water ownership.
"There would be water rights associated with this expanded storage proposal in Island Park Reservoir. Those water rights, to a degree, have been filed on by the Fremont-Madison Irrigation District. Additional rights for full amount of the increased storage would need to be applied for," said Raybould.
There is still plenty up in the air surrounding this project, so there is not yet a set timeline for completion.
The governor's proposed budget also includes spending $4 million to recharge the Eastern Snake River Aquifer.

Paul Daniels' show is ostensibly not much different to the version he toured with all autumn. However this is his first return to the stage in 2012, and the first since he cut off his finger on New Year's Day. Unfortunately, that wasn't a magic trick, not even a magic trick gone wrong.
Daniels (makes his own magic props in his shed, but on that fateful morning, recounted in some detail on his blog, he was making a safety guard for the very table saw in which he mangled his left hand. It clearly could have been a lot worse: in the end he only lost the top third of his left ring finger.
Still, he's a magician, and the upcoming leg of the tour must have loomed large. Even Daniels himself seemed to wonder if prestidigitation was possible with just nine digits. Was there time to adjust, to relearn his moves? There were rumours that his son, Martin, who tours with him, would take a more prominent role, but it turns out Martin isn't even doing this tour.
To add injury to injury, Daniels had to have his gall bladder removed, at short notice, just a few weeks ago. How would he look?
He took the stage in an ill-fitting wig, allegedly one of his own, the lovely Debbie McGee by his side. "Do you think they've noticed it?" he asked, pointing to his head. "Glasses." In fact it was his left hand a lot of us were looking at, but there was nothing discernibly amiss from the dress circle.
His opening trick, with a box and two coloured ropes, was deliberately underwhelming. "This trick only appeals to intelligent people," he said. He did it again, to much applause. "Sounds like pity," he said. "I know that's why half of you have come here tonight, to see if I can still do it."
He wasn't shy about the hand. "The saw went through there, and there," he said, pointing, "and took the top off of that one." And where his skills were most in evidence, they appeared to be undiminished.
His cup and ball routine (the highlight, I would say) was lightning fast and genuinely bewildering. He's also quick-witted and often funny, although he's always been a bit too chippy to be entirely winning.
The biggest problem with the show isn't the missing digit, it's the pace.
Daniels' leisurely approach is one thing, but his decision to let a comedian (a "funny foreigner" comic called Kev Orkian, who's replaced Martin) close the first half with a long routine, gave the impression that Daniels had more pressing business to attend to. Honestly, he could have gone out to dinner in the time he was offstage. I wish I had.
But he came back from the interval full of beans.
He can work a crowd, can Paul, and he managed to get this one going despite the theatre (lovely, but huge) being only two-thirds full. He's also very good with volunteers; a slightly labyrinthine trick involving a deck of cards, a £20 note and, finally, a lemon, a walnut and an egg (I'm making it sound far less complicated than it was) was redeemed by his effortless control over two reluctant audience members.
But it did go on a bit in the end. By the time Debbie got into the sack in the box for the climactic illusion, we'd been in our seats for an arse-aching 2½ hours. I'm afraid I was left pondering which bits of the act might have profitably gone the way of Paul's ring finger.

text: LONDON, March 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Last week Air Traffic Management (ATM) professionals and stakeholders from 107 countries descended upon Amsterdam for the 23 rd ATC Global event. Across the three days, ATC Global 2013 proved to be the place for participants to conduct business and address the universal issues affecting the ATM community. To view the Multimedia News Release, please click: http://www.multivu.com/mnr/60625-ATM-community-meets-for-ATC-global-2013 The truly global representation, with participants present from each continent in attendance, allowed for frank discussions around developing new safer, fuel-efficient and cost-effective aircraft operations to take place whilst innovative solutions on tackling global issues were shared. At the ATC Global 2013 conference, speakers painted very different views of the achievements and challenges facing air navigation services providers around the world. Some of the highlights included Mukesh Chand Dangi, General Manager (ATM) Airports Authority of India, who gave details of the Indian Ocean Strategic Partnership to Reduce Emissions (INSPIRE) programme where direct city-pair flights have operated with an average fuel saving per flight (per sector) of 212 kg for the last year or so. Juan Ayón Alfonso, air navigation sub-director at IACC (Instituto de Aeronáutica Civil de Cuba), the Cuban ANSP, spoke of plans to acquire new systems to satisfy the implementation of CAR/SAM ANP and Mauricio Boekhoudt, Strategic Advisor for Aruba Airport Authority, spoke of the work to introduce ASBU Block 0 in the region - implementation of PBN and air traffic services inter-facility data communication (AIDC). The supplier community was also out in force with more than 150 exhibitors from 28 countries represented including Thales, NITA, WIDE, Northrop Grumman, Intelcan, Azimut, Leosphere, Vaisala, Moog Fernau, Barco, Guntermann & Drunck, Era A.S, Comsoft, Korea Airports Corp., Tern Systems, Rohde & Schwarz, Nanjing LES Information Technology, Nanjing NRIET, VNIIRA and many others. One of the largest delegations to attend ATC Global this year was from China, with over 70 senior ATM professionals from the CAAC ATMB, the Hong Kong CAD and all regional Chinese ATM Bureaus present. Mr. Zhao Fan, Director at the Technical Center CAAC ATMB, commented after his second ATC Global visit, "It has been extremely important for us to attend ATC Global to engage with other ATM professionals from across the world, meet with technology suppliers and participate in key discussions on the future of the industry and the part China will play over the next few years." In addition, for the 3 rd year ATC Global ran its Hosted Buyer Programme that proactively sources international buyers who are actively procuring ATM technologies and solutions. Participants this year hailed from ANSPs and Civil Aviation Authorities from more than 17 countries including Myanmar, Colombia, COCESNA, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Vietnam, Peru, Argentina, Uruguay, Algeria, Morocco, Zimbabwe, Nepal, Cuba, Bolivia, Egypt, Rwanda alongside a host of European countries. "I really appreciate the opportunity I was given to participate in the ATC Global 2013, this was a unique chance for us to get closer to the manufacturers and obtain information that is vital for the development of our countries. The organization of the whole event was impeccable and I would like to congratulate the team on a job well done," Oscar Gutierrez Urresti from SABSA, who this year took part in the ATC Global Hosted Buyer Programme, commented. For 23 years ATC Global has been the premium meeting place for the entire ATM community, bringing together the full supply chain and helping to form new business partnerships between buyers and sellers. ATC Global 2013 once again confirmed the annual event as the global place to do business.

Positive Behavior Support
Kate Schenck was invited to participate in the Positive Behavior Support Team this school year. The whole philosophy of "PBS" is to provide positive ways to instruct children on acceptable behaviors in the common areas of the school. The PBS team, made up of campus representatives, created the STAR philosophy: Students and Teachers Acting Responsibly. The group identified three basic school rules:
1. Be Safe
2. Be Responsible
3. Be Respectful
The staff and students are learning what each of these rules would look like in the cafeteria, the hallway, on the hardtop, in the restrooms, and in the gym. Students will be provided instruction and will receive positive reinforcement for their efforts and accomplishments. The PBS, or STAR team created a matrix for the staff and students to follow. In addition posters were created and hung to help our children remember what is expected of them throughout the campus. Pictures will also be hanging to help our non-readers know what to do.
The STAR team will continue to implement positive reinforcement to students and teachers for being positive role models. Your children will be telling you more about events and activities as we all work toward making our campus a positive place to work and learn!

Verizon Wireless (New York, NY) and Medco Health Solutions, Inc. (Franklin Lakes, New Jersey) today announced a mobile application that can instantly guide patients and their doctors to the lowest-cost prescription drug to meet their health needs and help them identify potentially harmful drug interactions. The new Medco Pharmacy mobile app delivers critical information to help Medco members manage their prescription medications.
The Medco Pharmacy mobile app provides information about out-of-pocket costs for any prescription drug and lower-cost options specific to a person's prescription drug plan, as well as drug interaction alerts based on the patient's prescription history – even if the patient is treated by several doctors or fills prescriptions at many different pharmacies. Once registered, patients will have their complete medication history and drug plan at their fingertips and can discuss cost-saving options, drug safety or coverage issues with their medical professional, even before they leave the doctor's office.
The Medco Pharmacy mobile app, offering unique healthcare functionality, consists of three key features:
- My Rx Choices: Delivers on-demand, personalized out-of-pocket costs for any prescription medication and lower-cost options based on the member's pharmacy plan coverage, as well as for eligible dependents; informs the registered members who can share the information with their physicians or pharmacist if there are any health or drug plan rules that require a physician authorization before the drug can be dispensed; and provides alerts to potential drug interaction risks associated with the current medications the person is on and a new medication a physician intends to prescribe.
- My Medicine Cabinet: Allows individuals to view the medications they are on and set reminders for themselves or members of the household to take or refill those medications. Over-the-counter (OTC) medications, vitamins and supplements can be added and checked for possible interactions with current prescription drugs. The drug review is automatic if the OTC is purchased at The Medco Health Store.
- Prescription ID Card: Offers convenient, easy access to a member's prescription drug card anytime, anywhere.
"Wireless devices are a part of the lifestyle as we know it today, and millions of people rely on their BlackBerry and Android smartphones for instant information," said Mike Ross, vice president of sales, healthcare, Verizon Wireless. "Reliability is paramount to not only medical information, but for a network too. Our combined technologies will give users a powerful tool that can help them manage their medical care."
According to Medco research, 500,000 prescriptions that have a lower-cost option available are written every day for Medco members. The app is built on Medco's My Rx Choices prescription savings and patient safety program, which was launched online in 2006.
"The Medco Pharmacy mobile app provides innovative patient-specific pharmacy information that doesn't exist anywhere else in the healthcare system; it puts actionable information in front of patients so they're able to share it with their physicians, even while still in the exam room, or the pharmacist before dispensing. It provides personalized results for the more than 65 million members we serve," said Tom Feitel, senior vice president, Imagineering and Innovation, Medco. "Medco is proud to bring this mobile solution to its clients and members as we continue to look for innovative ways to accelerate electronic practices within the healthcare system."
