WATCH: First Lady Chokes Up: 'Hadiya Pendleton Was Me'
(NEWSER) – Michelle Obama spoke in Chicago today about youth violence, the need for tougher gun laws, and the tragedy of Hadiya Pendleton—the black teenager from the city shot to death soon after performing at the president's inauguration. The Washington Post calls it a "rare" foray for any first lady into the big legislative issue of the day—"these reforms deserve a vote in Congress"— and the Chicago Tribune has a transcript. The part getting the most attention, however, is when the first lady choked up when discussing Hadiya:

God created the human body with a flawless circulatory system. Thanks to this, the blood that is required for the human body is able to reach from our toes to the farthest spots of our brain. Every spot of the human body is covered with billions of large and small pipes, as it where. If we think that we lay this pipeline known as the circulatory system on a flat surface, we would see that its total length is approximately 100 thousand kilometers (96.500 km) for a single human being.(Lionel Bender, Science Facts, Human Body, Crescent Books, New York, New Jersey, 1992. p.32)
The circulatory system is such a perfect fitting that all of the necessary connections to every part of the body are made. Veins do not knot in anywhere, do not open for no reason and do not have blind spots; they circuit the body from top to bottom and turn back to the same spot.
A plan is required to lay down a pipe fixture in any building. The plan of the pipe fitting in the human body is so perfect that it cannot be compared to any human-made plan. The veins found in a healthy human body carry out their duties for a lifetime. They do not require any maintenance . Moreover, the human body is not motionless like a building. A person moves, walks, runs, sits, stands and the veins continuously flex and continue to operate flawlessly under this tension.

Kid-Friendly Dinners to Cook Together
Cooking with your kids is fun, but it also fosters healthy eating habits and provides valuable skills. We've rounded up some of our tastiest kid-pleasing dishes, along with easy ways for little chefs to get involved in the kitchen. Some tasks, like cutting or slicing, are best for older kids, but there are plenty of ways for younger kids to help too. Remember to always supervise your child, especially when the stove is involved.Get more quick, healthy kid-pleasing meals.
Crispy Oven Chicken Fingers
What kid (and parent too) would turn down an irresistibly crunchy chicken finger? Baking them not only cuts the fat, but it also makes the recipe easier to tackle with your child.
Hint: Remember the old Shake 'n Bake commercials? Let your child measure the batter ingredients and help coat the chicken strips. Remember to teach proper food safety and wash all hands after handling raw food.
Oven-Roasted Meatballs with Spaghetti
Our recipe is ready in only 40 minutes (probably a little longer if you're getting pint-sized help), and it's perfect for a weeknight meal. Using ground turkey helps keep this Italian classic lean.
Hint: Besides measuring help, kids of all ages have a blast kneading the turkey mixture and forming the meatballs. Roll up those sleeves and dive right in. Later, while the meatballs are in the oven, show your child how to tell if the pasta is done cooking. Just be sure to clean your ceiling afterward.
Quattro Pizza
Homemade pizza in under an hour, no joke. If you don't have homemade dough on hand, feel free to use some ready-made dough from the store. Be sure to have the camera ready — this fun-filled evening will be one to remember.
Hint: Feel free to use your family's favorite toppings with this recipe. In addition to all-important topping placement, let your kids shape the dough (with help, if needed), and ladle the sauce onto the pie. If they're old enough, they can also help prepare and chop veggie toppings.
BBQ Chicken Tacos
Leftover rotisserie chicken helps save time in this tasty and simple taco dish, and thanks to this handy ingredient, this meal becomes a no-stove, no-flame recipe; a great pick for sharing with your child.
Hint: Younger children can help by shredding the chicken meat and measuring the sour cream and barbecue sauce. Older children, comfortable with cutting lettuce or tomatoes with a knife, can handle the entire meal — with supervision, of course.
Martita Martinez's Cheesy Chicken Quesadilla
Another simple dish, these quesadillas are perfect for a light meal or an after-school snack. Low-fat cheddar, cooked chicken, and salsa give this dish its signature taste, and bacon bits give it some crunch.
Hint: This is another easy dish that older kids can prepare with supervision. It's a great way to teach them about stove safety and how high their flame should be. (No one wants burned quesadillas!) Younger children can assist with quesadilla assembly.
EatingWell's Sloppy Joes
By using lean ground beef and fresh veggies like plum tomatoes, mushrooms and onions, we've given a healthy spin to this family favorite. Served with or without hamburger buns, it makes for a great weeknight meal.
Hint: Even younger kids can take a turn at cutting some of the vegetables needed for this hearty dish. Perfect dicing isn't required. After all, these are Sloppy Joes, not Clean Joes. Stirring, measuring, and setting the timer are other great ways to get your children involved.
Stir-Fried Steak and Vegetables
Try this healthy alternative to take-out. Full of good-for-you ingredients like brown rice, fresh veggies, and lean steak, this meal has delivery beat hands-down.
Hint: Slicing the steak will be tricky, so that's a task best left to adults or teens. Children can assist with measuring, prepping ingredients, simple slicing, and toward the end, lots of stirring.
EatingWell's Fish Sticks
Fish sticks are an ever-popular dinner in households with kids, but did you know that you can make them yourself? Toss the yellow box and instead, buy some tilapia fillets that cook up in no time.
Hint: As with chicken fingers, children can help coat and dredge the fish with breadcrumbs. Additionally, serving up some tartar sauce is a part of the meal they can handle all on their own.

Racing is what you do when there's a number pinned to your jersey. Sport is what you're experiencing the rest of the time. It's good to have a jersey that reflects that mentality. The Giordana Sport Short Sleeve Jersey can be raced in, but it's really designed for what you do on the bike the rest of the time, which, even if you race regularly, is over 90 percent of the time.
The aesthetic is sporty without being racy. This goes for everything, from the cut, to the materials, to the design. The cut is Giordana's Giro cut, which is very close without being tight. With this in mind, Giordana made sure to leave the sleeve hems without elastic or grippers, but put in a light gripper elastic at the waist. The main body material is new for Giordana, VX-2. Vapor X-change 2 is hydrophobic on the inside, hydrophilic on the outside with a net-like structure to keep the much of the material off the skin. The material is soft to the touch and almost airy to wear. VX-2 comprises everything but the wraparound chest panel and collar lining. That is another new material, Gi27. It is super-soft, great at wicking because of both the polyester fiber mix and the finishing treatment, and it's also great at keeping its color through long days in the sun and repeated cycles in the washer.
Because the jersey is calling on classic style elements, Giordana finished it with several classic touches. One is embroidered patches that you'll find on the left side of the chest and the right sleeve. The chest patch is their G aegis. The right sleeve reads 79, a reference to 1979, the year Giordana started. In the back, you'll find a Giordana Sport script on the slightly beveled right pocket. Above it is a color accent that ties into a color on the chest panel. The finishing touch is a retro-inspired Giordana label sewn to the inside of the front waist hem.
The Giordana Sport Short Sleeve Jersey comes in Black/blue/red, Black/yellow/beige, Red/blue/red, and White/Italia. The zipper is reversed and the pull is a camlock. There is a reflective tab on the left side by the pockets. Sizes run from X-Small to XX-Large.

Reviews & Community
Dark color but material didn't over heat
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: Runs large
- Size Bought: Large
Two hours in the sun and it stayed comfy and cool. Didn't feel soak or warm at all. This run a little looser than Giardano trade vero with same size.
Nice material
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Size Bought: Large
This has quickly become one of my favorite jerseys mainly because the material is very light and stretchy. As others have noted, the sizing is not typical for a euro jersey. I normally wear an XL in euro/race jerseys, but I went down to a large because of all the comments on it being oversized and it was indeed the case. So I would say it runs true to size in the club fit category meaning they run slightly large but not overly so.
Fits big
If you use giordana in this shirt try a smaller size
Sport Jersey
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: Large
This is a club fit Jersey so more relaxed in the chest and stomach area, has good length in the back , but the arm sleeves seem small in circumference and a bit short. So I said it runs small but the rest of the jersey is true to size. Also if you wear certain sunblock's, the ones that contain Avobenzone on your arms, be careful you will instantly stain the white sleeves and cannot wash the stain out. For the price this Jersey normally is priced at not a cheap item to just replace retail $150 for this jersey is steep, there are better quality jersey's from this company that will hold up better. Even other companies that offer more quality such as a zipper for ID and keys, you don't receive with this jersey. I bought it specifically to match the Giordana sport bib shorts. So regarding my Size I am 5'7
Hi, I measured of my chest and it came out 38.5in, meaning I would have to buy a Large in this particular jersey. All of the jerseys i own are a size medium and in the comments it's recommended to buy a size down. is the size chart correct or should i just stick with a medium?
Nice jersey - runs large
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The fit on this is very "club". I usually wear a large in Italian gear - the medium version of this jersey fits me pretty well, but it's still on the roomy side. I'm 6', 175 lbs.
I wear an xxl in giordana frc form-race fit. This top is a club fit. Do I size down?
Yes, because this a club fit you may want to size down to an XL or even L depending on how the Girodana fits. However, even at smaller sizes this jersey is not meant to be form fitting. You may still have extra fabric around the waist and shoulders.
Giordana Sport jersey
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've got three and love them. Great styling, fit and comfort. They are especially comfortable on hot days, even the black ones.
My MTB Jersey
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Dig the styling on these. I tend to favor these over my nicer/more expensive FRC jerseys when going on XC MTB adventures. Just a little more room without being baggy. Nice material that's proven pretty dang durable.

Ogden • It started at nine and worked its way down to the buzzer.
The Morgan student section counted the seconds, the crescendo rising as the clock wound down. In seven ... six ... five, the Trojans would be state champions. In three ... two ... one.
For Morgan star guard Jake Miles, who bounced up and down with his teammates on the sideline, each individual second of the countdown flew by too quick to savor. There was too much wrapped up in the victory, too much meaning in each moment to put it in its proper place.
There'd be time for that later.
"You just get butterflies," Miles said. "You're like, 'We're gonna be state champs.' It doesn't feel real, you know?"
When the countdown hit zero and the buzzer flared, the Trojans had put the finishing touches on a 58-44 takedown of rival Bear River on Saturday evening in the Class 3A state title game.
The Trojans hadn't expected a blowout. Two regular-season games against the Bears both Morgan victories had been decided by one point apiece. But the Trojans started hot, and the Bears never recovered. The Morgan lead hovered around 20 points throughout most of the second half.
"We thought we were going to be in for another dog fight, but we came out, and we just wanted it more," said Miles, who led all scorers with 16 points. "We got after every dead ball."
Morgan flustered Bear River with a press defense, forcing turnovers and mistakes. Even when the Bears had open looks, they seldom went in. Bear River star Wade Miller didn't score until late in the third and finished with just five points.
"He's too good of a player for one person to stop him," Miles said. "So we just had all five players say, 'We have to stop Miller to win this game.'"
That Morgan overwhelmed the Bears with their energy was unexpected. The Bears had cruised to a blowout win over Snow Canyon in the semifinal Friday night. The Trojans had clawed out a last-second win against Wasatch.
"We just knew we were 32 minutes away from our dream," Miles said. "We knew we were 32 minutes away from getting what we've worked so hard for this whole season. Really, [fatigue] didn't affect us that much."
After the game, the Trojans crowded in near the hoop and cut down the net. Players posed with the championship trophy. Miles had waited years for this and had suffered through two previous heartbreaking playoff eliminations.
When it was his turn to pose, Miles dangled his piece of twine from his lips, kneeled on one knee and kissed the trophy. Now that he finally was in that moment, ecstasy was taking over.
"That was just spur of the moment," he said.
Morgan 58, Bear River 44
R Morgan leads by about 20 points for most of the second half.
• The Trojans' defense suffocates the Bears.

Current Students
Tips for Meeting with Your Academic Adviser
Academic advising is available to all students who seek it. Freshmen are assigned to pre-major advisors who remain with them formally until the end of the sophomore year, or earlier if the student is accepted into a major. Students are assigned a faculty advisor from the major department when they are admitted into the major, usually during the sophomore or beginning of the junior year. Students intending on majoring in engineering stay with their advisors throughout the four years.
Undergraduates with academic questions or concerns are encouraged to visit the College Center for Advising Services in Lattimore 312. The professional advisors in Lattimore are available every day on a walk-in basis or by appointments, which may be made at the Academic Services Counter. Advisors can help plan academic programs, explore independent study and internship opportunities, make order out of chaos or, at the very least, refer to appropriate sources of aid. The Assistant Dean in the Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences is available in Lattimore 301. Students may also arrange to see the Dean of Freshmen by calling 5-2354, or the Dean of Sophomores by calling 5-9049.
Getting the Most Out of Your Academic Advising Meeting
- Consider your academic goals and interests and prepare a list of courses you are interested in taking before meeting with your adviser
- Do your research about the academic programs you are interested in before your meeting
- Ask your adviser "what other people on campus should I get to know?"
- Bring questions to your advising appointments and take notes during the meeting
- Resist the temptation to believe that your adviser should have and give you all of the answers; instead expect that your adviser will help you problem solve and arrive at your own answers
- Share with your adviser any changed interests and any areas that you would like to improve upon
- Approach your advising meetings with an open mind
- Ask your adviser about special academic opportunities such as independent study, research, study abroad, and certificates

The crypto world is in total upheaval. We have articles claiming the NSA can read the entire Internet at will, encrypted or not, with several rumors circulating that the NSA has cracked our most popular crypto algorithms. We have unsubstantiated stories saying the NSA and other spy agencies have placed secret backdoors within many, if not most, popular encryption products. Even yours truly has said that Quantum ciphers will likely render most past encrypted secrets into plaintext. It all sounds so bad, you might think encryption is a feckless exercise to make the public feel falsely secure.
How bad is it, really? Well, if your life is nothing but crypto all the time, last week was not a good week. To hear some people tell it, it hasn't been a good past decade -- we just didn't know it.

But here's why I can't get overly upset. Note, however, that the following post represents my personal opinion and does not reflect the opinion of my employer, nor is it informed by any information gained through my employment at Microsoft.
1. The reliability of the source
Many of the revelations have come from information released by one guy, currently hiding out in Russia. He's one former NSA employee who worked on one job. I have no doubt much of what he has said and released is true. As I've stated in previous columns, he hasn't revealed much that we didn't already know (or assumed was happening, especially if you follow the author James Bamford). But we haven't seen a single detail or example for most of the disclosures. In the era of "yellow cake uranium" and "weapons of mass destruction," I need a little more proof.
Has the NSA broken all popular crypto, one cipher, or one cipher with small key sizes that should have been upgraded a long time ago? We don't know. And how those questions are answered makes a big difference.
2. What changes if the NSA can crack anything?
Let's suppose that the NSA can break all popular crypto with everyday key sizes. That's a big assumption to make, but let's suppose it's true. How much harm is it doing at this particular moment in time?
I mean, 99.9999 percent of encrypted stuff isn't all that exciting and doesn't need encrypting. We're talking encrypted financial transactions, emails, and VPN traffic. If they see what I buy and pay, it's not terribly important. We encrypt private emails, most of the time to avoid the eyes of coworkers and competitors. We might care if the NSA saw them, but there is unlikely to be much fallout.
A lot of what's encrypted that other law enforcement agencies would actually care about involves illegal transactions: the logistics of drug trafficking, child pornography, and so on. The NSA isn't interested in that, but if the agency happens to take down those sorts of items -- well, they are illegal. Personally, I'd be pretty happy if all the child pornographers in my town were arrested.
I'm not saying good encryption isn't needed -- it is. It's the basis for all serious global and local digital communications you can trust. We have people around the world fighting against evil regimes that are mass murdering their own citizens. We have individuals being deprived of basic human rights on a daily basis. We have intellectual property and patents that need protecting. We have medical records, bank records, real estate ownership transactions, and lots of other topics that need to remain private. But the NSA isn't interested in most of that. It's interested in spies, foreign governments, and terrorists.
My larger fear is that the same cracking capabilities trickle down to common criminals and foreign governments. Let's be clear: That will happen. Most of those supersecret crypto cracking shortcuts will make it into the wild. Heck, right now, we have no idea who might have similar capabilities or whether they're already using them.

Thumb polydactyly is a condition in which more than one thumb is present on a hand. There are many appearances and varieties of thumb duplications, varying from a broad fingernail to a complete double thumb. Polydactyly can involve bone, joint, muscle, tendon, nerve, blood vessels and/or skin. Usually it occurs on one hand only, and neither thumb is completely formed.
Thumb polydactyly can occur in many forms, most commonly because the child's thumb formed into two parts during the second month of pregnancy.
Treatment options vary based on the anatomy of each thumb but generally involve reconstructive surgery of the bone, ligaments and tendons. Sometimes, parts of the two thumbs may be combined to build the best possible thumb for the child.
The best time for treatment is when the child is old enough to safely undergo an elective procedure and when the thumb is large enough for the doctor to perform a more technical procedure with precision. A protective cast will be worn after the surgery until the thumb is healed.

Is there surfing beaches now??

Is there surfing beaches now??
I forgot when they start.
yep, surfing beach are in effect for ocean city, md starting this weekend.
:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
Surfing beaches are completly useless, they need to take into consideration what sandbards are breaking well, and also widen the "surfing zone". I dont even bother checking the surfing beaches, i just surf early or late in the day.
hey, thanks Captain Obvious!
They gave you OC inlet as a daily surfing beach... should be stoked on that even if it is a zoo.
They would never have a roaming surf beach, where they make up the surfing beach from day to day.
They do the same thing in NY, too during the "on season". There are dedicated year round "surfing beaches" and then rotating "surfing beaches".
I avoid the entire fiasco and just suck it up, depending on tide, winds, etc and go out before 9:00 or after 5:00 during the summer.
The beaches around here also separate bodyboarders from surfers because they consider bodyboarders "swimmers" LOL - thanks to the huge number of people who pick up beach toys at Wal*Mart before trekking down to the beach. However, it's perfectly fine for all of the people who stop by such and such surf shop and pick up a foamie, don't take a lesson and wreak absolute havoc. :p
I love summer weather and the warm water, and I've reaaalllllllly come to appreciate those sunrise/sunset sessions during the on-season.
It's also too bad that erosion has eaten up a lot of the unguarded spots that I loved 10-15 years ago. :(
In Manasquan, Sea Girt, Spring Lake, Belmar, Point Beach... They all have designated surfing beaches. 9-5 the rest of them are closed while guards are on. But when the sun is up at 5:30 and sets at 9. There is plenty of time to surf wherever you want.

I have UEFI booted BT5R1 and BT5R2. Please read the following thread I created.
If you have questions please ask.
I have wanted to use Backtrack 5 for some time now, but am hindered by the fact that my BIOS is set to UEFI mode. Because of this, when I try booting Backtrack from my USB it deems the linux as illegitimate (black screen) and begins booting into my original operating system instead, Win7 64 bit.
So, I enter my BIOS settings and change my boot mode to Legacy boot instead. Now I am able to boot into Backtrack 5! Next, I select Backtrack 5 text mode. Soon thereafter I am greeted with the following error (in addition to my screen getting glitched up):
This seems to have something to do with my graphics card. I am using a hybrid graphics setup. Here are my relevant system specs:
System Model: Alienware X51
Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2120 CPU @ 3.30GHz
Intel(R) HD Graphics Family
NVIDIA GeForce GT 545 GDDR5 (OEM)
BIOS_Manufacturer: Alienware
I can get past the screen glitch/error by entering, "nomodeset," before selecting my Backtrack mode. Regardless, I am at a loss for what I can do to fix this error.
Finally, even if I ignore the error that I get, the entire point of booting into BT5 Live USB was to install BT5 alongside my Windows partition in the first place! Unfortunately, since I changed my BIOS boot mode to Legacy instead of the UEFI mode Windows is currently installed in, Backtrack cannot safely partition room for its installation because of the two different partition layouts:
As a result, my two questions are this:
1.) How can I get rid of the graphical error presented to me while booting Backtrack 5 Text mode?
2.) How can I install Backtrack 5 KDE alongside a UEFI Windows 7 64 bit installation?
Luckily enough, fortune hasn't been all terrible for me. I was able to connect to my home network when I ran the BT Live USB, which means I will have no network problems whatsoever.
I know this is a lot to ask, but I regard myself as an, "extreme noob," when it comes to linux. It would be nice if when helping me, thoroughly explain how to perform even the most basic of steps.

If you have questions please ask.
I like the bleeding edge, but I don't like blood loss
Okay, so I downloaded grub-1.99.tar.gz. Is that the right version of GRUB?
Now, how do I open/compile it? I am really lost. I am not accustomed to the Linux file formats.
Thanks in advance!
Yes that is the right version. The directions to compile it are in the posting I refereed you to. To extract the files you need to:
tar -xvf grub-1.99.tar.gz
However I think you should switch to a different Linux os. Backtrack is not right for you until you know how to function in a Linux os better.
I like the bleeding edge, but I don't like blood loss
Well, I managed to get it extracted. I think I'd prefer to suffer through this, once I get past this first step the rest seems straighforward.
The only real question I have is what do you do with this block of text:
Once I cd into my grub-1.99 folder, do I just paste the entire block of text, (and just change /dev/sda1 with \PENDRIVE\), or do I type it out line by line? Or, is there some text document where I place this block? That is the only thing that I am unsure about.export EFI_ARCH=x86_64
./configure --with-platform=efi --target=${EFI_ARCH} --program-prefix=""
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/EFISYS # if the mount-point does not exist
sudo modprobe dm-mod # required to make grub-probe stop complaining
sudo mount -t vfat -o rw,users /dev/sda1 /mnt/EFISYS # replace /dev/sda1 with your thumb drive
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/EFISYS/efi/boot
cd <grub2_compiled_source_dir>/grub-core
../grub-mkimage -O ${EFI_ARCH}-efi -d . -o grub.efi -p "" part_gpt part_msdos ntfs ntfscomp hfsplus fat ext2 normal chain boot configfile linux multiboot
sudo cp grub.efi *.mod *.lst /mnt/EFISYS/efi/boot
sudo touch /mnt/EFISYS/efi/boot/grub.cfg
Since I am a new user, it takes really long just to reply to you because my posts must be approved by an administrator. Is there a quicker way for us to chat?
open a terminal window and type in the commands one by one. You will have to change the /dev/sda1 to whatever the path to your thumb drive is.
I like the bleeding edge, but I don't like blood loss
Okay, so all of the commands seemed to work, except when I got to this one:
sudo mount -t vfat -o rw,users /dev/sda1 /mnt/EFISYS
It kept telling me that "/cdrom is not a block device"
I placed a file on my usb to confirm that the above directory was correct, and it said in the file location, "/cdrom"
here is what I entered in Konsole:
root@bt:~/Desktop/grub-1.99# sudo mkdir -p /mnt/EFISYS
root@bt:~/Desktop/grub-1.99# sudo modprobe dm-mod
root@bt:~/Desktop/grub-1.99# sudo mount -t vfat -o rw,users /cdrom /mnt/EFISYS
mount: /cdrom is not a block device
root@bt:~/Desktop/grub-1.99# sudo mount -t vfat -o rw,users /media/cdrom/cdrom /mnt/EFISYS
mount: /cdrom is not a block device
root@bt:~/Desktop/grub-1.99# sudo mount -t ntfs -o rw,users /media/cdrom/cdrom /mnt/EFISYS
Error opening '/cdrom': Is a directory
Failed to mount '/cdrom': Is a directory
Is there a simple solution? My USB is named PENDRIVE, (I installed Linux using Universal USB Installer)
If it helps, my USB is a U3 Drive.
/cdrom does not exist. "/dev/sr0" is your cdrom/dvd drive.
But I thought you were booting from USB ?
In that case you need to find out the name of your thumbdrive with "fdisk -l".

You can't mount a directory to a directory. You really need to learn some linux basics before leaping in head first and then using this forum as a place to ask all your questions. Googling "Mounting a USB in linux" would have helped you out instantly. I strongly suggest trying another distro. Perhaps Ubuntu. I know you want to "suffer" through backtrack and that's great, but this is not a first point of call when you run into linux generic issues such as mounting file systems.
Okay, but even if I want to try Ubuntu before I move onto Backtrack, there is still the issue with installing Ubuntu on a UEFI BIOS.
I am willing to try out Ubuntu again, but if I'd have to switch to Legacy boot mode just to learn how to use Ubuntu.
I think I'll attempt to follow this tutorial for Ubuntu:

only 5 weeks left...
May 26th 2008
I guess right now is a good time to leave this country: Yesterday the news broke that the Guinean President has sacked the Prime Minister whose installment was one of the main demands by the unions during last years strike. There were reported road blocks in the forest region but here in the capital of Conakry, everything seems to remain calm so far. It is probably because that the prime Minister has done such a lousy job in battling corruption and improving living conditions that no-one seems to give much of a damn about him getting the boot.
I only hope that things will stay as calm as they are right now. I don't want to spend my last weeks here with bullets flying over my head like early in 2007. There are rumors that Rabiatou Diallo, one of Guinea's most prominent union leaders who became somewhat of a hero during last years strike and uprising has commented that she has lost trust in a political way out of the country's misery and that she now is in favor of a military regime. This statement is not confirmed yet but it seems that there are some unsettling things going on under the surface and inside some people's heads.
Anyway... I guess I will write a longer article on what I witnessed here as far as sociopolitical issues are concerned once I'm in NYC. There are definitely a few things I'd like to share.
As far as records go, I will leave on for one last digging trip to Accra in two weeks and I have also just plugged a "records wanted" ad in several Guinean newspapers. After packing the shipping container a few days ago, I left only two sets of pants,underwear & shirt and one pair of shoes. This way, once boarding the plane to NYC, I will be able to fill my entire 100 pounds airplane luggage with the vinyl that I will (hopefully) find on these last few days.
I'm already looking very forward to my first gig in NYC on Saturday the 12th of July.

A Zambian priest said the nation's information minister should resign for accusing the Catholic Church of complicity in the 1994 Rwandan genocide and comparing it to the current situation in Zambia. Father Augustine Mwewa, the Ndola Diocese's treasurer general, said Aug. 10 that the minister, Lt. Gen. Ronnie Shikapwasha, was wrong to tell the Zambian Parliament that events leading to the 1994 genocide in Rwanda should serve as an example for Zambia. "He has shown us how shallow he (is)," Father Mwewa said. "He does not deserve to be where he is." Shikapwasha made his remarks during an Aug. 7 report to Parliament on recent acts of violence against journalists. The violence allegedly was perpetrated by supporters of the ruling Movement for Multiparty Democracy. The minister accused the church of promoting violence by siding with the media and opposition parties in criticizing the government. The minister's comments came after the Zambian bishops' conference challenged the government of President Rupiah Banda to stop persecuting and harassing journalists and media that disagree with it.
Priest urges Zambian Official to Resign
This article also appeared in print, under the headline "Priest urges Zambian Official to Resign," in the August 17, 2009 issue.

Then come the highest rate of robot suicides lol
No but in all seriousness, that's probably the very reason FoxConn is doing this.....to combat bad working conditions. Although there are certain things better left to humans such as maintenance and quality control, robots will most likely provide more output and greater precision.
This may be the end of the infamous supply shortages of new Apple product launches......hopefully.
Good for Foxconn--many automotive makers use robots extensively in their plants (particularly American ones, but I'm holding my tongue). If they can build a machine that does as good, if not a better job, than a human; they should. More power to them.
Perhaps this will cause more suicides... 1 million people unemployed? that could lead to bad things...
Rise of the machines. I guess the terminator movie is gonna come true after all.
They're not sure how many out of 1.2 million employees 1million robots will replace? Probably a good majority of them. Thats nearly one robot for every employee.....not to mention the fact that one robot could possibly replace more than one employee. Nowadays you can build and program robots to do practically anything......assemble, measure, polish, stack, transport. There's even robots that can check and see if what OTHER robots did is correct or not. And they don't even need a lunch break or a day off.
I can totally see the Terminator Apocolypse occuring soon cuz of this
someday Humans<Robots...
Way to make unemployment rise and your profits rise greedy ppl SUCK
It sucks.....but that's the world we live in. Even trash pickup in alot of places is done by a giant robotic arm attached to the truck instead of the traditional two guys hanging from the back of the truck.
is that a still frame from dawn of the dead?
some of those girls are kinda cute... like little gerbils, you just want to watch them run on a big wheel!

CARSON, California (Reuters) - L.A. Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez's year started terribly but ended in triumph when he scored in his team's 3-1 MLS Cup win over the Houston Dynamo on Saturday and was named Most Valuable Player.
Gonzalez spent the first six months of 2012 rehabilitating a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his knee, which he sustained during his first training session with German club FC Nuremberg in January.
He returned to fitness mid year and it was no coincidence that Los Angeles experienced an up turn in form when he came back into the side.
"Probably the turning point in their season was when he got healthy," said Houston Dynamo coach Dominic Kinnear. "His timing today (in the MLS Cup) was excellent. He changed the momentum."
A 6-foot-5 tall (1.96m) defender who is a strong presence in the air, Gonzalez has impressed former England captain David Beckham, who left the Galaxy after Saturday's match.
"He works hard, he listens. He is a young player with a lot of talent," said Beckham.
"He deserved the MVP and we are lucky to have a young player with his talent on this team."
Gonzalez lived up to his ability on Saturday, heading in the equalizer in the second half.
"Juninho put up a great ball and I was able to get over my guy and put it in," Gonzalez told reporters. "It was fantastic. I didn't think it would be happening to me."
More challenges are surely in store for Gonzalez especially with the U.S. national team, where has only made two appearances, but is now firmly on coach Juergen Klinsmann's radar.
Galaxy coach Bruce Arena, who called Gonzalez "the best centre-back in the league", is confident he will soon be a regular on the international stage.
"Omar belongs on the national team," the former U.S. national coach said.
"I am confident that Omar is a player that can play internationally for the United States."

Lincoln, NE -- The agenda for the University of Nebraska Board of Regents meeting in Grand Island on July 28 has been expanded to include three new items and one revised item. One item has been withdrawn until the September meeting. In addition, President J.B. Milliken has asked UNO Chancellor Nancy Belck to provide a brief report to the Board of Regents on the planning process that is in place at UNO with regard to athletics. This includes moving ahead with a balanced budget, strategy on conference affiliation issues and analysis of Division II and Division I membership. President Milliken has asked Chancellor Belck to provide a more detailed report of plans and possible recommendations at the Board\'s next regular meeting in September. "UNO athletics are a vital component of the campus and the community," Milliken said. "We need to be focused on how to move forward with a balanced budget and continued success for our programs and student athletes."
The board will consider a three-year extension of President J.B. Milliken's contract, to July 31, 2010. Milliken was hired in 2004. His original three-year contract called for a performance review before the end of the second year; that review has been completed under the direction of the board's executive committee. Following the review, the executive committee recommended that Milliken's contract be extended three additional years, and that his salary for 2006-07 be increased by 4.5 percent to $293,436.
"J.B. has provided exemplary leadership, and both the university and the state are fortunate to have him," said board chair Jim McClurg. He added, "The university's strategic framework, which was developed under his guidance, has set the vision for building a greater university, and he has actively engaged the whole state in his leadership."
The board will also vote on program statements for the 2007-09 capital construction budget requests: a new university-wide student information system, and the UNL Greater Nebraska projects to upgrade three agricultural research and extension facilities. Program statements must be submitted to the Coordinating Commission on Post-Secondary Education with the budget request. (The agenda had previously included the budget requests but not the program statements. The budget request for the Greater Nebraska projects (addendum X-B-1) has also been changed, reflecting an increase from $13.5 million to $14.3 million.
An agenda item to discontinue the UNL Panhandle Learning Center has been moved to the September board agenda.
The board meeting will be held at 1:00 p.m. at Central Community College in Grand Island.

Jay-Z's "Magna Carta" Tops Charts, Extends Rapper's Record
Listen to Jay-Z on iHeartRadio
Jay-Z is topping the album charts for the 13th time in his career with his latest, Magna Carta Holy Grail. After giving away one million downloads of the album through a Samsung mobile phone promotion, the hip-hop superstar went on to sell another 527,000 copies of "Magna Carta" in the first week of the album's release.
That gives Jay-Z his 13th number album and extends his lead for the most chart-toppers for a solo act in history. Only the Beatles have more number ones with 19. Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Presley tie for third place with ten chart toppers.
Magna Carta Holy Grail also the second first-week top-seller this year behind Justin Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience. That album sold 968,000 copies in its first week of release.

Nick Cannon Denies Divorce Statement In Long Twitter Rant
Listen to Nick Cannon Radio on iHeartRadio
Nick Cannon is blasting the media for its coverage of his rumored divorce from Mariah Carey. In a long-winded Twitter rant on Wednesday, Cannon claimed he never made any statement confirming his split from the singer -- despite being quoted by "Yahoo! News" last month. The "America's Got Talent" host tweets:
For the record I NEVER have, nor will I make a statement regarding my marriage.
— Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014
In addition to throwing shade at the "sources" helping to drive what he called "false reports," Nick says what hurts him the most is "to hear people slander" Mariah, writing "I love Mariah Carey and that will never change."
What infuriates me most is to hear people slander @MariahCarey . I will forever be in debted to her for blessing me with our children...
— Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014
I will always love her unconditionally for this and so much more. @MariahCarey is an amazing Mother and I trust her wholeheartedly...
— Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014
I love @MariahCarey and that will never change!!!
— Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) September 3, 2014
The Twitter rant seems to include some mixed messages, however. He denies having confirmed divorce rumors, but does say it has been a "challenging time for [him] and [his] family." He also asks "all civilized people" to "respect [his] family and this process" at "this difficult time."

Reduces pain, swelling and discoloration from bruises Frequently Asked Questions What is Homeopathy?In 1796, samuel Hahnemann, a German physician and pharmacist, proposed a new set of healing principles as an alternative to conventional medicine. Homeopathy is based on the principle that the natural state of the body is one of health; human beings, like animals and plants, possess the ability to heal themselves. Homeopathic medicines, made from carefully selected plant, mineral, and organic ingredients, nurture your body's natural healing powers. What's the difference between Homeopathy and conventional medicines?Many conventional medicines attempt to suppress, symptoms without allowing the body to heal itself, sometimes resulting in harmful side effects. Homeopathy teaches us that symptoms are a respons to disease, causing imbalance in the body. Instead of suppressing symptoms, homeopathy gently works with the body to stimulate balance or healing Homeop;athy takes into account the unique characteristics of each individual and the symptoms experienced when ill, by offering a remedy to stimulate a healing response. How safe are Homeopathic medicines?In clinical studies, most homeopathic products have proven to be free of harmful side effects often experienced with conventional medications. Health-conscious people have learned to rely on the purity, safety and healing powers of homeopathic medicines, which are strictly regulated, as drugs, by the Food & Drug Administration. B&T Products are prepared homeopathically in accordance with the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States (HPUS).

How Many Americans in ISIS? No One Knows
Get the latest news from 24/7 News on iHeartRadio
One might think that a government that secretly collected everyone's cellphone records would be able to find out which Americans have joined ISIS. But actually that task is much harder than it would appear.
On Wednesday, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel told CNN more than 100 Americans have pledged themselves to the group that declared itself a Caliphate in June after conquering Iraq's second-largest city. Hagel added, "There may be more, we don't know." On Thursday, a Pentagon spokesman walked back Hagel's remarks, saying the United States believes there are "maybe a dozen" Americans who have joined ISIS.
"We don't know what we don't know," a U.S. intelligence official told The Daily Beast when asked if there were more than 12 Americans in ISIS. "We have some identifying information on some of the Americans, it may not be their name but we have enough information. That said, we readily acknowledge that that number is probably low and there are others we don't know about."
"I think 12 is probably low only because there is always stuff we don't know," said Andrew Liepman, who left his post as the deputy director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) in 2012 and is now a senior policy analyst at the Rand Corporation. "I would not say that number is hugely low, but we always have to remember what we don't know."
So far, the picture of ISIS's Americans is murky. Last month, two Minnesota natives who had joined ISIS were reported to have died on the battlefield in Syria.Douglas McArthur McCain and Abdirahman Muhamed grew up in Minnesota. This week NBC reported that a 41-year-old former law enforcement officer from North Carolina named Don Martin also joined ISIS.
Liepman's former boss, outgoing NCTC director Matthew Olsen, said the official estimates for how many Americans had fought with jihadists in Syria were likely a baseline and not a mean. In July, Olsen told the Aspen Institute that the U.S. intelligence community estimated there were just over 100 American citizens who had gone to fight in Syria with extremist groups. "And of course, now we're talking numbers that are very rough and may well be conservative," he said. "Because these are some degree of identification we've made of these individuals so the number is actually likely to be higher than that."
(In an appearance on Meet the Press this weekend, Mike Rogers, the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said that hundreds of Americans were affiliated with the group.)

Welcome to the latest installment of the BayBlog Question of the Week! Each week, we take a question submitted on the Chesapeake Bay Program website or a frequently asked question and answer it here for all to read.
This week's question comes from Claudia: "This past winter, a tall Japanese pine on [our bay property] uprooted and fell over in one of the storms. I would like to plant some small trees and bushes [to replace it]. What are the best to plant in this area?"
It's a great idea to learn about plants that are native to our area before taking on a new landscaping project. Native plants are acclimated to the climate, soil and pests in our area. This usually means they require little to no fertilizer and pesticides. Native species also provide better habitat for wildlife such as bees, birds and butterflies, encouraging a healthy ecosystem.
An excellent resource to learn about native plants in our area is the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's guide to Native Plants for Wildlife Habitat and Conservation Landscaping in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. This document includes a wealth of information about Chesapeake natives.
You can search by type of plant, including:
Once you choose a type of plant, you can select an individual plant by its scientific name for more information, including height, flowering months, fruiting months, soil and light requirements, what wildlife it attracts and other details. For example, switchgrass grows 3-6 feet in clay, loam or sand, and has flowers July through October. It provides food for sparrows and is effective at controlling erosion. All of this information is vital to successful planning and maintaining your native landscape.
You can also search plants that have special purposes, including plants that are good for:
This section is helpful if you are trying to reproduce the natural habitats that plants are used to and to prevent excessive runoff and erosion.
Once you have determined what plants you want to plant, check out one of the following websites to find nurseries that sell native plants:

text: Last spring three enterprising Wheaton upperclassmen decided they wanted to travel to China and learn more about international business. They shared their plans with a Wheaton alumnus and venture capitalist who generously offered to provide half of the funds for their trip. But the alumnus also had a condition: in addition to touring factories and talking to business leaders, the travelers had to learn what God was doing in China by visiting several house churches. Connecting with Chinese churches was surprisingly simple. All the travelers needed to do was talk with a classmate from Beijing—a Chinese national one of them had met in calculus, whose father is one of the most influential church leaders in China. Soon everything was arranged: the student from China would travel home for spring break and help introduce his American friends to evangelical Christians in China. This true story of kingdom connections illustrates some of the present realities and future possibilities for globalizing a Wheaton education. Our students are interested in what is happening around the world and want to experience it. They benefit equally from the spiritual wisdom and financial support of our alumni. And when multicultural relationships are formed on campus, our students end up going to places they could never reach without having friendships that broaden their horizons. In the Strategic Priorities adopted last spring, the Trustees made a commitment to Globalize a Wheaton Education "through expanding scholarships, revising the curriculum, and doubling the number of students who receive academic credit through off-campus cross-cultural experiences." Few institutions have sent as many people to as many places to do as many kinds of gospel work as Wheaton College. But this legacy goes far beyond the Missionary Wall that inspires students as they walk the corridors of Blanchard Hall. It includes hundreds of alumni who have served as salt and light in secular businesses overseas, as well as thousands who have taken short-term mission trips or supported gospel work around the world in other ways. Yet there is still much room for improvement. During a standard four-year course at Wheaton, two out of every five students receive academic credit for studies that took place in a cross-cultural context. We have set a goal of seeing this number double. Just as importantly, we want to improve the quality of cross-cultural experiences that our students have both on and off campus. We want to see Wheaton becoming the college of choice for international students called to leadership in the worldwide church. And we want to build growing partnerships with a select number of Christian colleges and universities overseas. We hope to produce graduates who understand the global church, who have learned from the perspectives of other cultures, who celebrate ethnic diversity as a gift from God, and who graciously communicate the gospel in a wide variety of cultural contexts. The Wheaton students who traveled to China last spring were inspired by the faith of their Chinese brothers and sisters, like the economist who came to Christ through seeing the influence of Christianity on capitalism when he studied in the United States, or the six women they met at a Bible study for the blind, studying the Scriptures in Braille. They will carry these experiences with them wherever they go. As a result, they will be better equipped to do their part—in cooperation and collaboration with believers from other cultures—to build the church and improve society worldwide.

Event Details
2nd ANNUAL HEALTH & WELLNESS BENEFITS CONFERENCE
Open to ALL
With the 2012 election behind us we know PPACA is here to stay. Here is the new normal for healthcare purchasers:
Providers continue to be the primary influencer on health behaviors and health resource utilization. Health reform has sparked new contracting relationships and delivery models. Fortunately, leading edge providers are working hard to meet the challenge, embracing new care models, new technologies, and new strategies to optimize care and its delivery.
Employers and unions will now need to work closely with providers and plans to bend the benefits cost curve and improve the health outcomes of their employees and members. Do you know where your benefits strategy is headed?
This conference will focus on such topics as:
- PPACA's impact on the delivery system: progress and challenges for healthcare stakeholders.
- Accountable Care Organizations and Patient-Centered Medical Homes - How they work and their value proposition for employers.
- How the change in provider financial incentives impacts employer costs and employee health outcomes.
- Health plan responses to provider transformation and the downstream impact on their provider negotiations and communications with employers.
- Understanding the contracting process between health plans and hospitals and health plans and physicians.
- Tools and resources available to encourage employees to seek providers with the best health outcomes and value.
- How innovative employers are using alternative delivery models of care like retail health clinics and onsite medical clinic to improve employee health.
- Effective use of products like narrow and tiered networks and centers of excellence to bend the benefits cost curve.
- How health plans are driving change in healthcare delivery for the achievement of better outcomes and value.
- And more!

Since those early days I have been all over the wine world time and again. I have tasted thousands of
different wines and there are only a few places that haunt me, always come back to mind, occupy my
dreams and have drawn me back again to taste some more.
I started Layer Cake because I wanted
to make a wine at a price that could be
enjoyed everyday with abandon, yet
made by hand (not in a giant factory)
and made in some special places in the
world that I have always loved. The
mission was simply to shock people
about how good wine could be at a
very affordable price.
While the Layer Cake wines were not intended to be compared with Hundred Acre, they are rich and
taste like they should simply cost a lot more. This is due to our rigorous fruit selection and small
winemaking style. The same team of winemakers that work with me at Hundred Acre, work with me all
over the world to craft a rich Shiraz in South Australia, fabulous Malbec in Argentina, spicy old vine
Primitivo, aka Zinfandel, in Puglia, Italy, sleek Syrah in the Cote du Rhone, France and of course, some
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Each is very special in its own way and a phenomenal value.
With the making of each Layer Cake wine my Grandfather's words and my Grandmother's cakes come
back to me. Layer Cake is a simple black and white label with, of course, my Grandmother's giant layer
cake on the front and my Grandfather's words on the back…ENJOY!!
