Hesperia (AFP) California, May 25, 2007
They are eco-friendly, cost next to nothing to build, and in Nader Khalili's dreams, they might one day be housing the first settlers on the Moon. On a sun-baked fringe of arid California desert that in places resembles a lunar landscape, Khalili, an Iranian-born architect who came to the United States in 1971, proudly surveys his cluster of ceramic, domed homes.
For just over two decades students have been coming to Khalili's California Institute of Earth Art and Architecture (CalEarth) to learn how to build a kiln-fired home from little more than soil stuffed into sacks.
Khalili's work has been recognized by the United Nations and he is regularly invited to give presentations to NASA about the possibilities of his designs being used for lunar colonies.
But while Khalili contemplates houses of the future, he says his designs were inspired by the past.
"To me it's obvious to use earth as a building block," Khalili said. "I don't consider that I have invented anything at all. "All the Mediterranean civilizations used earth or natural materials in their architecture."
At the CalEarth Institute, students discover how to build homes which are literally dirt cheap (around 3,200 dollars for the design) and some of which are powerful enough to withstand an earthquake.
The designs incorporate only elemental materials -- earth, water and fire -- and rely on basic architectural forms, such as arches and domes. Construction is remarkably simple.
"We dig up the ground. The earth is placed into sacks. We pile them up and then fix them in place," Khalili explains. "All our designs rely on the arch, whether it's the large domed houses or the smaller dwellings. The traditional shape of a square house with vertical walls is almost designed to fall over one day. With an arch nothing collapses."
Once secured, the interior of the dome dwelling is kiln fired, sealing the interior with a thick crust of terra-cotta.
The total cost of one of the larger, more elaborate homes -- which can be built and completed by three people within the space of a week -- is around 90,000 dollars.
Known as the "superadobe," a reference to the first terra cotta homes built by Spanish settlers of California, Khalili's designs are naturally air-conditioned by strategically placed openings in the walls.
Currently there are three of the houses in Hesperia, surrounded by three smaller domes. None are inhabited although two are fully equipped. Khalili's designs have attracted the interest of NASA scientists studying the feasibility of building lunar colonies. The transportation of thousands of tonnes of heavy materials to the Moon from Earth is unfeasible, Khalili said, making buildings constructed from lunar soil or earth an attractive alternative. "There is an acknowledgement that my design is ideal," Khalili said.
In the short term, Khalili hopes to see the superadobes spread across earthquake-prone California, where local authorities recently approved their design.
The techniques taught at CalEarth have also interested the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the United Nations Development Programme, who have in the past sent fact finding missions to Hesperia.
Mini-domes based on Khalili's designs were built to house people made homeless by the devastating earthquakes in Iran in 2003 and Pakistan in 2005.
"Imagine a world where every refugee has a roof over their head -- that hardly costs anything," Khalili said.

Japan called Thursday for the world to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, proposing a successor to the Kyoto Protocol it hopes will win over top offenders the United States and China. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, unveiling the proposal ahead of the Group of Eight (G8) summit in Germany, pledged to bring all nations onboard in the fight against global warming by making the post-Kyoto framework non-binding.

Newell told BBC Sport: "Leicester approached Luton and asked to speak to me which they have done.
"There is no situation. I have not been offered the job. Unless that happens I have got nothing to think about.
"If they did I would have to think about it but I am happy here and enjoying the job."
Leicester chairman Jim McCahill told BBC Sport that the Foxes are still "some way" from finding a replacement for sacked manager Craig Levein.
Burnley boss Steve Cotterill has turned down an approach from Leicester while Preston did likewise when their manager Billy Davies was targeted.
Notts County manager Gudjon Thordarson, QPR boss Ian Holloway have all been linked with the post, as well as Newell.
Newell is the latest name to be considered for the post but insists that Luton are reluctant to let him go.
He said: "The Luton chairman wants me to stay and I'm not considering going yet until something comes up that I would consider leaving for.
McCahill has also indicated that caretaker boss Rob Kelly will continue at the helm for the remainder of the season.
He said: "We mustn't forget Rob Kelly is doing a good job.
"We've not ruled him out continuing to the end of the season with extra support from an experienced coach or manager.

The Tundra (along with the Dodge Ram 1500) was also awarded CR's coveted "Recommended" honor and received a predicted reliability rating of "Very Good".
It may be unclear how the all-new Tundra, and its new 5.7-liter motor and six-speed gearbox, received a predicted above average reliability score – especially after camshaft issues could still impact some of the first built 5.7-liter V8 trucks - while the redesigned Silverado 1500 is considered too new to forecast.
Mr. Fisher says the predicted reliability rating is based on Toyota's long history in CR reader survey results showing all Toyota cars and trucks, including the Tundra, consistently achieving above average reliability. Consumer Reports holds the same expectation for this version of the pickup.
Mr. Fisher adds that if Chevrolet cars and trucks had received similar high marks in past CR reader surveys, the Silverado also would have been given a predicted reliability rating of above average, like the Tundra.
Consumer Reports also tested heavy duty pickups for the first time, and once again brought the Tundra into the equation.
Mr. Champion says, "at 10,300-pounds, the Tundra's towing capacity rivals that of the heavy-duty diesel trucks."
You might think so too after looking at the tow rating of the Tundra versus the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD.
In the performance, specifications, and safety data table published with CR's story, the Silverado is shown with a max tow rating of 9,800-pounds. That figure would be correct - if the Silverado had a 353-hp / 373 pound-feet of torque 6.0-liter gas engine under its hood instead of the 365-hp / 650 pound-feet of torque 6.6-liter Duramax V8 Consumer Reports tested.
The diesel Silverado 2500 actually tows up to 13,600-pounds, or 3,100-pounds more than the Tundra. And other heavy duty pickups, like Ford's F-450, can tow more than twice as much as the Tundra.
Consumer Reports says they'll print a correction for the Silverado HD towing capacity in the next issue.
The Tundra beat all the heavy duty diesel pickups in CR's 0 to 60-mph acceleration tests towing the 7,400-pounds trailer. The three-quarter-ton acceleration tests appear to have similar results to what we found during our recent Heavy Duty Shootout, which was done testing one-ton diesels.
The Chevrolet Silverado 2500 was determined to be the best heavy duty pickup over the Dodge Ram 2500 and Ford F-250 Super Duty. But like the light duty pickups, towing acceleration performance 0 to 60 did not play a role in the scores.
All of the diesel engines tested are new or significantly revised this year, because of strict new federal emissions regulations. The Silverado 2500 is also an all-new pickup and the Ford F-250 received new sheetmetal, frame changes, and interior upgrades. CR doesn't assign predicted reliability ratings for either of these heavy duty trucks.
The Dodge Ram 2500 6.7-liter Cummins I6 diesel receives a predicted reliability rating of "Average", based on past data collected by CR in its reader surveys. The previous 5.9-liter version of the Cummins was rated with above average reliability in CR's 2006 reader survey, while the rest of the truck's design has remained the same for 2007. This is why CR assigned a rating to the Ram, even though it has an all new powertrain like the Chevy and Ford pickups, according to Mr. Fisher.
It's easy to sit back and Monday-morning quarterback vehicle testing and analysis. But there's a special responsibility when it comes to pickups because of the dizzying array of configurations and engine choices available. Get one component wrong and it may no longer be an "apples to apples" test. That's ok, as long as the story is up front about where the differences are between the trucks.

Sarah Larson: Loony over Clooney?
George Clooney may have decided to cut Sarah Larson out of his life, but the rest of the world can't stop fretting about how the former cocktail waitress and Fear Factor contestant is doing since their breakup.
Problem is, no one seems to have a straight answer.
To hear Fox News tell it, Larson is one crying jag away from doing herself in with a rusty razor blade.
According to a Larson friend quoted by Fox, "She thought they were getting married. Instead, she got dumped. She's really upset. Devastated."
Then again, according to People, Larson might be the happiest gal in Sin City right now. The mag reports she's back in Las Vegas partying it up with former coworkers and grooving to Pete Wentz's DJ-ing.
So, what gives? Obviously, the media wouldn't speculate about such an important matter without getting their facts straight. And clearly, a woman who'd just been dumped by one of the world's most eligible bachelors wouldn't experience mood swings…or put on a brave face and drown her despair with vodka.
Give us your take in the poll at right. Your guess is as good as anyone's.
UPDATE: Ha, turns out it wasn't those rampant randy pics of his lady that broke up George and Sarah. E! Online has learned the woman simply talked too much. During their relationship, the former Vegas, um, hostess waxed on to outlets ranging from Vanity Fair to People to Harper's Bazaar. When it comes to his matters of the heart, not even Clooney does that.
"George is very protective of his private life," a source tells E! Online. "He started feeling like she had spoken too much about the relationship. She wanted the fame…If he wanted to date an actress, he would. But he doesn't."
Not sure if fame of the good kind is on the horizon, but buh-bye, Sarah, it was nice knowin' you.

We'd love to hear from you!
The Basics of barre3
What is barre3?
Rooted in three fitness disciplines—ballet barre, pilates and yoga—barre3 is designed to lift, lengthen, and tone your entire body. Our signature, results-oriented three-step sequence includes an isometric hold, controlled one-inch movements, and functional large range of motion. It doesn't matter if you're an elite athlete or new to exercise, anyone can do barre3.
Why does barre3 work?
Our goal is to give you the tools you need to make smart choices for a healthy body inside and out. We are passionate educators and have a unique style of teaching using a 3 step sequence so all levels are challenged and get ongoing results.*Our team of experts works to continuously evolve barre3 both in studio and with our online workouts so you get a variety of movements, and so our classes are challenging, fun, and fresh.
*Results may vary
Is barre3 a ballet workout?
We are different from traditional ballet classes. Clients with a background in ballet enjoy the class because it offers the same grace and carriage but with a barre3 take that fuses other teachings together.
How is barre3 like yoga?
We are inspired by the philosophy and wisdom of yoga. We call our classes "sneaky yoga" because while you won't find us chanting Om you will still get the meditative benefits of being completely present in your body for the full time you are working out with us. You will also find many yoga inspired postures and breath awareness cues that support a regular asana practice.
Is barre3 considered functional training?
Functional training helps to make daily activities easier to do and lessens the risk for injury. So, yes, barre3 is functional. Our goal is to teach you alignment principles that apply to everything you do, from how you hold your kids to sports performance and sitting at your computer. It's not about the 10-60 minutes you spend doing barre3. It is about how those minutes balance your body all day long!
Why does my body sometimes shake during intense parts of class?
Shaking muscles are a good thing. We call them barre3 "earthquakes." The quaking sensation is an indication that your muscles are being put under a new kind of stress that they aren't used to and as a result they are getting stronger. The vibration in your body is also a sign that you are using energy, burning calories and revving your metabolism.
How do I find a studio near me?
We continue to open new studios across the country! Check our locations to find a studio near you. You can also work out in the comfort of your home with our barre3 Online workouts. We post new workouts ranging from 10 to 60 minutes every month. You might like it so much you will want to open your own barre3 studio! Visit our franchising page to learn more about becoming a barre3 studio owner.
How barre3 Transforms the Body
What are the physical benefits of practicing barre3?
The benefit we are most proud of is that clients have literally measured taller after taking barre3 classes. The benefits clients are most excited about is losing inches around their waists, hips, thighs, and upper arms! Barre3 really does shape and lift the entire body.
What mind/body benefits does barre3 have?
We connect mental health to physical health. Posture, for example, can impact your energy and mood. People who stand "tall and proud" with ease and have a nice balance between flexibility and strength are likely to be more energetic and positive.
How many times a week should I do this to get the best results?
For fast shaping results,*commit to practicing at least 3 times per week. Consistency is key! Whether you have 10 minutes or 60 minutes, find time for yourself and get your workout in. You can even practice barre3 every day, just make sure you're listening to your body's wisdom.
*Results may vary
Do I need to add cardio to my workout routine?
Every person is different, so talk to your doctor to see what's best for you. Choose a variety of heart healthy activities that you enjoy and stick with them for a lifetime of wellness.
Who is Right for barre3
What kind of experience is necessary to practice barre3?
No experience or fitness level is required to practice barre3. We have clients in their 20s and their 70s sweating it out together at the barre. It doesn't matter if you are an elite athlete or if you haven't exercised in years—you will be challenged at an appropriate level for you. Just try it for yourself, and you'll see what we mean!
Can I do barre3 with an injury?
We are known for our modifications for common injuries. Clear your injuries with a physician before you begin barre3. We are not doctors. We are, however, passionate about helping you make barre3 your own so you can get a good safe workout when you are ready.
Can I do barre3 pregnant?
Consult with your physician during all stages of pregnancy to see if barre3 is appropriate for you. We have many pregnant clients who have great success with barre3 but they modify to make it an appropriate prenatal program. Every person is different and every pregnancy is different. Get familiar with modifications for pregnancy at home with our 40-minute Glow Pre-natal online workout!
Is barre3 a good postnatal workout?

Yes! And just so you know, philosophically we are committed to helping clients tap into their own body wisdom and learn techniques to improve posture. We do not believe in a one size fits all fitness method. Barre3 is flexible and can adapt to most needs. Start by trying barre3 Online workouts.

Apache/Tomcat web servers on our production network, plus about 100 PC
workstations and an Exchange e-mail server at the office. All eventually
go through the Soekris m0n0wall.
The firewall rules are fairly simple, blocking address spoofing, RFC-1918
addresses, draft-manning-dsua and multicast addresses in and outbound.
The third interface is on a separate management network and allows only
SNMP and HTTPS in to the m0n0wall itself.
I also have a net4501 at home, doing NAT for my home network and protecting
my machines from the great unwashed out on Cox cable. It also is one
endpoint for a VPN tunnel to the office. The other end is a Checkpoint
Firewall 1 on a Sun E250, which terminates about 70 other VPNs and has
hardware acceleration for encryption. We plan to test a net4801 with the
vpn1211 to see how many tunnels it will run. It would be fun to replace a
$30k box with a $300 one.
>If you believe it's not ready for mission critical purposes please let
>me know why.
I don't know of any reason. The Soekris boxes have no moving parts and
should last years without outage. FreeBSD (and therefore m0n0wall) is
pretty much bullet proof. If you enable the hardware watchdog, even if
someone manages to DoS you to death, you'll be back up in under a
minute. And with ICMP response limiting, I've not seen a FreeBSD DoS'd out
of service.
As always, your mileage may vary, and test before deployment if at all
possible. But I'd say, go for it.

What exactly is bio power?
Bio power supplies almost 15 times as much energy for the U.S. as wind and solar power combined, but there is still confusion about this renewable source of energy.
Bio power is energy produced using biomass. Biomass comes from a variety of sources including tree and grass crops and forestry, agricultural, and urban wastes. There are two types of biomass:
- Energy Crops – crops grown specifically for energy production such as trees and grasses, or
- Biomass Residues – leftover waste from plants that have been used for other purposes, including sawdust and urban waste such as garbage and sewage.
What makes bio power renewable?
Compared to fossil fuels, biomass reduces carbon emissions by 90 percent. It also reduces a variety of other pollutants substantially, such as sulfur dioxide, reducing both air and water pollution.
While biomass does emit carbon, the effect on the environment is significantly reduced because biomass is a part of a balanced carbon cycle. When a plant dies or is burned, it releases carbon into the air, which is then reabsorbed by other plants through photosynthesis. This is part of a natural, healthy cycle.
Because fossil fuels are made up of plants that grew millions of years ago, when they are burned, the carbon cycle is knocked off balance. The carbon they absorbed millions of years ago is released now, and there are no new plants to absorb the excess carbon. The carbon emitted by fossil fuels is extra, whereas carbon released by biomass is part of today's natural carbon cycle.

Ratings for Dr. Simon K. Lo
he or his fellow perforated my colon during a "routine" colonoscopy. five weeks later, in my opinion, my health and quality of life are ruined.
Dr Lo is very knowledgeable. He and his staff are very caring and take as much time as necessary to explain things and answer questions. I was gravely ill when I was taken to Cedars-Sinai and, through his excellent care, my life was saved. I cannot sing his praises enough!
Great Dr. Very kind/caring/knowledgeable. Very busy but manages time and information.
Dr. Lo saved my life. He is an amazingly humble man who is a medical genius. Without his one of a kind medical technique, I would have died from a bilary stricture. He never gives up. He kept trying and trying till he was successful. I spent over 2 months in another hospital where they had no clue what to do. I would perished there. He is a wonderful man. His staff is top notch. They helped me from filling out paperwork to letting me cry on their shoulders when I was I was scared about another procedure. He is the best in the business. This man teaches his tech and instrumentation to other doctors from all over the world. Hes the BEST!
If you have a complicated pancreatic problem this is the guy you want to see!He saved my life. end of sentance. He is a dedicated practitioner who uses endoscopic surgery to deal with the pancreas. (cleared my pancreatic duct and drained a psuedo cyst that had 750ml of fluid) I highly recommend he and his team I was in two other hospitals before I saw him, and they were in over their heads!
When I last saw Dr. Lo about 2004, before I moved back to my home state, his reputation was outstanding. He was rated by other doctors as being among the top doctors in his specialty and all doctors in the entire country. This brings me to the conclusion that your rating system is flawed, by the mere fact that anyone can enter an opinion that will be recorded, whether or not the individual has ever seen the doctor being rated.
RUN! RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!! He is way too fast to want to operate. His solution to EVERYTHING is operate. His bedside manner is the worse I've ever seen! He operated on me when it wasn't necessary. And when the procedure didn't go as planned refused to see me, explain what had happened to my waiting family, and visit me while I stayed in the hospital for over a week. Run!

Ok, am I missing something here? You can call a taxi service on the phone and that's ok, but doing it with a computer program (that is, electronically) suddenly requires special hoops to be leapt through? Is it just because of paying directly through the app? Why would that even matter, especially when you consider how many things are paid for electronically these days? As long as the cab driver is being paid, what does it matter to the city and why is it even their concern in the first place? Is this not just another example of government being way too involved in business matters?
Even if somehow those issues weren't factors, I can just imagine the arguing where someone hails a cab through the app from the shower inside of his apartment, and a cab pulls up to the curb to catch him running down stairs, but there's a person who's been standing in the rain for 10 minutes trying to hail a cab. I predict fist fights.
The taxi cabs you called weren't Medallion cabs. The taxis you called (a.k.a. "car service") were LIVERY cabs (typically black Lincoln Town Cars). They have small phone numbers on a sticker on the side or rear window.
I was talking about the YELLOW taxis, the ones with MEDALLIONS all over MANHATTAN that you can HAIL from the curb. Black livery cabs in the outer boroughs can *only* be called, they can't legally be hailed from the curb (they do it anyway but not in front of a cop). Medallions have been around for the past 80 years, and they are the only type of cab you can hail from the street legally.
(PS: I'm a New Yorker and I'm looking out the window and I see one.... two.... three.... four.... yellow cabs. Not a single phone number. Never heard of calling a yellow cab, ever.)

Satan, Penguins working on new deal
The Penguins are close to reaching an agreement with winger Miroslav Satan regarding his future with the organization.
An announcement could come today.
Satan, assigned March 4 to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton for salary-cap reasons, has not been asked to report nor has he reported. He has been in New York as his representatives and Penguins general manager Ray Shero attempt to work out details regarding Satan's status.
He signed a one-year contract worth $3.5 million in July, but the Penguins can't fit his salary under the NHL's $56.7 million cap because of recent acquisitions (wingers Chris Kunitz, Bill Guerin and Craig Adams) and the potential for defenseman Philippe Boucher's return from the long-term injured reserve list.
• Right wing Petr Sykora (upper-body injury) missed a second consecutive game Tuesday. He's battling through various injuries, though his right shoulder is most troublesome. He's been receiving treatment on that shoulder for several weeks. Interim coach Dan Bylsma said Sykora's status is not long-term.
• Several Penguins players expressed concern with the ice surface at Mellon Arena following the morning skate yesterday. A combination of warm conditions and heavy arena usage during the Penguins' recent five-game road trip left the surface soft and choppy, according to players. The Penguins play Thursday at Columbus and open a franchise-record eight-game homestand Saturday against Ottawa.
• The Penguins' home game March 22 against Philadelphia will start at 12:30 p.m. and air nationally on NBC. The original start time was 3 p.m.

Mobile is among Alabama's oldest cities, celebrating its 300th birthday in 2002. Happily, despite 1960s urban renewal, many old, antebellum buildings still survive. Azaleas explode beneath Spanish moss–draped oak canopies, earning Mobile the name Azalea City. A little-known fact is that the country's first Mardi Gras was here, and not in New Orleans. Residents exult in months rather than days of pre-Lenten merrymaking.

Clifton L. Taulbert, a Pulitzer-nominated writer and filmmaker and a Voice of the Community for CNN at the turn of the millennium will speak at the University of Saint Francis (USF) in two sessions on Feb. 11 at the USF Performing Arts Center.
Taulbert was born and attended school in the Mississippi Delta during the era of legal segregation. He has served as a guest professor at Harvard University and the United States Air Force Academy and was part of the team introducing Stairmaster Exercise System to the world. He could have failed, he has said, without the community of unselfish adults in his life.
He is a principal, President and CEO of two companies: The Building Community Institute and Roots Java Coffee, a national African-American owned coffee brand. As founder and president of the Building Community Institute, a human capital development company, he has delivered leadership and culture change training internationally, from NATO in Brussels to many of the continental congresses in Central America, as well as Lockheed Martin, Bank of America, the United States Department of Defense and K-12 school systems around the world.
As a noted keynote speaker, he asks listeners to imagine possibilities, as he brings to life stories from his books and the unselfishness of the ordinary people who populated his childhood world.
Session one for community leaders will begin with a continental breakfast from 8-8:30 a.m. After a welcome from USF President Sister M. Elise Kriss, OSF, Taulbert will take the podium until 9:45 a.m., speaking on the topic "Building Community: A Transforming Process." Registration is at 8habitslecture-community.eventbrite.com.
Session two for high school and college students and community guests will be from 1-2:30 p.m. and include a welcome from Keith Busse School of Business and Entrepreneurial Leadership Dean Robert Lee and Taulbert's lecture, "Entrepreneurial Thinking: The Winning Business Strategy." Registration is at entrepreneurialthinkinglecture.eventbrite.com. Guests can purchase Taulbert's books at a signing event beginning at 2:45 p.m.
The USF Performing Arts Center is at 431 W. Berry St., Fort Wayne. Complimentary parking is available across the street.

AMES, Iowa — As the Missouri River flood waters slowly begin to recede, western Iowa manufacturers continue to deal with major ongoing challenges such as transportation logistics and workforce issues.
To better understand the impact of the Missouri River flooding on manufacturers in the affected region, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Center for Industrial Research and Service (CIRAS) recently contacted manufacturing companies operating in the six-county Presidential Disaster Declaration Area that includes Fremont, Harrison, Mills, Monona, Pottawattamie and Woodbury counties.
Approximately 200 manufacturers were contacted with 60 percent responding to the survey. Fifty-three percent of the respondents reported being affected by the floods. More than half of these indicated that transportation remains a major issue, causing delays in order delivery and receipt of necessary supplies.
"The impacts are still ongoing as long as flooding issues are present," said Ruth Wilcox, CIRAS program manager. "Manufacturers in this region will be experiencing the effect of the floods for many months as they continually deal with regional issues such as levee conditions and road degradation due to erosion and saturation damage."
According to the survey, one-fourth of those impacted are food processors. Fabricated metals, chemicals and plastic and rubber products companies make up more than one-third of those affected.
Nearly half of the survey respondents also indicated disruptions to their workforce. "Some manufacturers have moved warehouses or operations, and others are considering relocation," Wilcox said.
"All companies are concerned about the duration of the floods and the level of stress their employees are feeling," explained Wilcox. "Workers are not only coping with possible employment interruption; they may have experienced flood damage to their homes and commuting challenges as many roads remain closed and detour routes extend their travel."
As this disaster continues and the region moves into the recovery process, CIRAS acts as the collective voice for Iowa manufacturers by identifying industry challenges, providing guidance and conveying industry needs to local, state and federal agencies and organizations providing support and resources.
CIRAS offers specific services and technical support for Iowa companies affected by the flood and the resulting productivity and logistical challenges. Examples of CIRAS services include: plant layout simulation if relocation is a consideration; logistics and warehouse management to optimize operations and ultimately exceed pre-disaster productivity; and training opportunities to maximize the effectiveness and performance of employees as companies navigate through the transition.
Another core area of support provided by CIRAS is the Business Continuity Planning Service. This service helps Iowa companies ensure they are prepared to react and recover in the event of another disaster or disruption to business.
For additional information or available CIRAS resources, companies are encouraged to contact Ruth Wilcox at email@example.com or 515-290-1134, or visit the CIRAS website at www.ciras.iastate.edu.

Beside stating that she isn't ready to have a child, Lady GaGa also addressed her being compared to Madonna.
Lady GaGa is "terrified" of becoming a mother - because she fears having children will "ruin" her "creativity". The "Poker Face" star, who is currently single, admits she does want to settle down with a man and start a family one day, but she's adamant her personal life will always come second to her career.
And GaGa admits she's secretly scared that if she does decide to have a baby, it will ruin her ability to write songs and perform. She tells U.S. talk show host Larry King, "Yes, some day (I want to have children). Although my womb is not yet beckoning for a child. I'm very far away from that day. I'm also terrified it will ruin my creativity."
GaGa also said she felt honored to see soldiers serving in Afghanistan parodying her "Telephone" video - insisting the troops were brave to shed their macho image by dressing up and mimicking her dance moves. The video, titled Telephone The Afghanistan Re-Make, was shot by a group of U.S. soldiers stationed at a military base in the south-west of the country and has spread across the internet since it emerged in late April.
GaGa was delighted to see the all-male cast from the 82nd Airborne Division recreating her promo, but admits she refused to post the clip on her Twitter.com page because she didn't want to get the men in trouble with their superiors. She said, "It's actually very interesting that you brought up the soldiers in Afghanistan, because I specifically didn't post that one when I saw it. I wanted to put that on my Twitter, but I got nervous about posting it on my Twitter, because I was not sure how it would be received by the other soldiers, or the other members of the Army or the administration."
"So I didn't post it... It's no secret that I don't think that anyone should have to hide who they are, let alone be discriminated against. We can all fight equally. I bring that up specifically because it makes me sad that I saw that video. And I thought it was so great. And I was so excited that over in Afghanistan they're fighting every day for us, and they're protecting us, and doing so much. And they were just having a little down time."
Furthermore, GaGa told Larry that she is flattered being compared to Madonna. "We're compared to each other, whether we're blonde, brunette, black, white, straight, gay. But on another level, it's kind of funny, because my mother actually looks sort of like Madonna. And the older I've gotten, I look more and more like my mother. So sometimes I just want to say, it's not my fault that I look like her."

Baby Let The Ice Weep. - Poem by Hardik Vaidya
What shall it take,
To write a poem,
That melts the core of ice
Deep down in the womb of Antarctic sheet,
Waiting yet not asking,
For the warmth of my pen,
The shards my jabs and my key strokes,
I don't want a Pulitzer,
I don't want a Pushcart,
I just want to melt a long frozen heart,
That once used to gurgle
With the brooks long lost babble,
With the speech that was a child's voice,
A softness that had my child's hush,
What shall it take?
A prose cannot thaw what an earthquake cannot expose,
A poem is the only instrument,
If alas she read,
No even if not read,
She felt,
No even if not felt,
She slept,
Covered her svelte self with,
Every night,
She went to sleep,
Closed her eyes,
And the ice would perhaps weep.

Romali on the cut at Jo_iLL's .:Feb 02 09:.
Romali and I spent the whole weekend together. He comes through to
Fremont to get away from his dorm mates, hang out, scratch, and eat all
the food that I cook. We tried recording a podcast but, he kept
picking the records I already played, and it's hard for him to stick to
the "U Ain't Hip-Hop" format...so, we ended up just recording this vid.
Romali can be a beast on the cut.

A Couple of Artsy Flicks in '08 and Carlito .:Jan 05 09:.
This is the season to stay at home and watch movies, at least for me, so I kinda dug around and picked a couple of movies for aesthetic qualities.
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is in French subtitles and sounds like a chick flick but the content will surprise you and give anyone hope for people who are locked in their own bodies.
Son of Rambow is a fun movie about childhood exploration and imagination while finding an identity. This movie has a brilliant style that many independents cannot emulate; I thought this was a good movie for anyone of any age, especially artistically inclined people. Its fun without being too far out, check it out after watching First Blood...
Carlitos Way the other day because its been on my list for a while. Can you ever watch this and think at the end that he won't get away; I think his closing monologue is one of the best in any movie.

The 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star tweets romantic pictures from their beach condo where they celebrated New Year together.
NeNe Leakes may have been engaged to her former husband Gregg Leakes. "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star tweets a series of pictures of romantic set-up created by her ex at their beach condo to ring in 2013 together. She follows up the photos with a note that says, "My answer was. Yes."
If the Twitter pictures indeed are proofs of their full-on romantic reconciliation, she may have been proposed on New Year's Eve. "Look @ our nite cap! #new beginnings," she wrote a caption in an image of champagne, strawberries and Hershey's Kisses forming a G and N.
"Look what he did 2 our beach condo hall way," the TV star commented on a picture of rose petals spread in the hallway that seemed to lead to their bedroom where there's a love sign constructed of Hershey's kisses on the bed. "IT'S ON NOW! #2013," she gushed.
The couple divorced in 2011 after almost 14 years of marriage.

Phase One and Profoto today announced that photographers can now link their Profoto studio light to the aperture or ISO settings of their DSLR or medium format camera system. While shooting tethered in Capture One Pro, any changes to the aperture on the camera will cause the light intensity of the studio light to automatically compensate an equivalent f-stop. For example, if the photographer switches from f/8 to f/5.6, the light will drop one f-stop, so that the image is not overexposed. The solution lets photographers easily define which groups of lights should be included in the linking. The Profoto Studio plugin download is available at the website below.

TEL AVIV (Reuters Life!) - Actor Ashton Kutcher, who has more than five million followers on Twitter, said on Monday he and his actress wife Demi Moore like to tweet one other even when they are face to face.
"A lot of times my wife and I sit across from each other and tweet, it's a little bizarre," Kutcher told a technology meeting in Tel Aviv held by Israel's largest telecoms group, Bezeq.
"It's the same reason why you send roses to a woman at work. Sometimes people like to be adored in public," said the 32-year-old former star of the TV series "That '70s Show," as Moore sat opposite him in the audience.
The Twitter power couple last month launched a social media campaign, "Real Men Don't Buy Girls," in a bid to end online slave trafficking.
"This content can be stopped. We can find this content, find these people, we can really eradicate human trafficking and make the Internet slave-free," Kutcher said.
Twitter, which limits tweets to 140 characters, is four years old but has become a popular social networking website with 145 million users and about 90 million tweets per day.
"If you look at the top 100 media companies, 95 percent are owned and operated by white men over the age of 40 ... Twitter is a more true perspective of the human graph than any media company," Kutcher said. "It's a power shift in the media and we are all participating in it."
Kutcher, who said he encounters harsh criticism on his Twitter feed, compared the real-time social web to "shining a light in a really dark room."
"Until you shine a light really bright you may not see the garbage in your life," he said. "Sometimes, when there is criticism it's shining a light on you and you need to use that to eliminate the garbage in your life."

TOP STORY >> Bikers protect funeral
Leader staff writer
IN SHORT: An anti-gay group mars funeral with chants and signs.
Six wholesome-looking church-goers holding signs proclaiming Gods hate for America faced off against hundreds of grungy-looking bikers in vests and doo-rags proclaiming His love.
That was the scene in Beebe on Wednesday afternoon for the funeral service of Army Specialist Bobby West, who died May 30 in Iraq.
Surreal, perhaps, but it is a scene played out almost daily across the nation as soldiers fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan come home for the last time. Members of the small Topeka, Kan., Westboro Baptist Church, whose 70 to 100 members are mostly the family of Fred Phelps, who founded it in 1955, schedule anti-gay protests wherever time permits. And where they are, the Patriot Guard Riders are there also, waving American flags and serving as a human shield to block the mourners view of the protesters.
Jonathan Phelps, the seventh of Fred Phelps 13 children, and one of the lawyers in the family, was leading the group Wednesday, which also included his younger sister Abigail, and four teenage boys.
He said the churchs mission is to tell the world that homosexuality is wrong and that nations that tolerate it are damned. That the dissenting viewpoint from the bikers across the highway was the one shared by most people was not a concern.
We dont care, Phelps said. We publish the message. Thats all that matters. Were not interested in changing anybodys views.
And whether the bikers (whom Phelps called biker bitches) like it or not, they help get that message out.
Even though they sometimes beat us to a bloody pulp, theyre serving us so we love them, he said. When they come we get more publicity, so we love them to death.
If the signs they carried Dont worship the dead, Thank God for dead soldiers, God hates your tears werent enough to rile the bikers, the Phelps familys actions were.
Abigail Phelps wore an American flag for a skirt.
Im not just wearing it, she said. Im wearing it upside down to show this nation is in distress. Im giving it its due respect.
Later, her brother dragged it on the ground, as the two groups shouted across Hwy. 64 at each other.
Most of the bikers, who lined up for for a roaring procession down Hwy. 64 and in front of First Baptist Church where the funeral was held, came from Arkansas and had never attended one of the Phelps rallies. But some, like John Leke from Trinton, Tenn., makes it a point to be where they are as often as he can.
Ive been to at least a half dozen, he said.
The Patriot Guard Riders are a loosely knit organization made up of numerous veterans and biker groups who have been working together since last summer to counter the work of Phelps church. They reportedly started with the American Legion Riders Chapter 136 from Kansas who mustered enough bikers for a counter protest at the funeral of Sgt. John Doles. Since that time their campaign has gone national, with every state responsible for finding enough bikers to cover funerals where the church pickets.
In the case of the West funeral, the family asked the guard to attend, said Pete Waddell, the state president. The family asked for 30 bikers, but by using mass e-mail to get the word out, 300 showed up.
Among them was Lee Lowder whose biker vest said he was a member of the Highway Hedges Ministry in Little Rock.
That the bikers appearance at the funeral brought more attention to the demonstrators was not of particular concern to Lowder.
Were bringing more attention to whats right, Lowder said. These people have a very distorted view of who God is.
Some of the counter protesters said they were there because they remembered how they were treated when they returned from Viet-nam. Still others said they came to block the view.
Dressed in typical summer apparel and standing elbow to elbow with the bikers were Josh Kamer, Ashley Mitchell and Cassie Metcalf, teenagers from Beebe, who said they came because it was the right thing to do.
Were here to support the family and all the people overseas doing what theyre doing, Kamer said.
Margie and Micah Briley and their three children from nearby Austin stood quietly on the corner near the church driveway holding a large American flag in an attempt to shield Wests family from the protesters.
Micah Brileys brother, Chief Warrant Officer Donovan Briley, died in Mogadishu, Somalia, when the Blackhawk helicopter he co-piloted went down. The Oct. 3, 1993, mission in which 18 Ame-rican soldiers were killed, 73 were wounded and 500 to 1,000 So-malis were killed changed Ame-rican policy on interfering with foreign governments and became the subject of the movie Blackhawk Down.
We tried to get right in front of them, but the police asked us to leave, Margie Briley said.
The Phelps demonstration was just as disgusting as she had anticipated it would be, Briley said.
I believe they have the right to protest, but you shouldnt protest the very people who give you that right, she said.
Army Reserve Sgt. Kenneth Kimball, who said he had been home from Iraq for only two days, was the only person across the highway from the protesters who was dressed in uniform. He squatted in the middle of the driveway to the church, seemingly contemplating the scene.
Its disturbing, he said of the protesters and their signs. Asked what bothered him the most, he said, The kids.
Keeping the peace at the protest were dozens of law-enforcement officers, including 18 from White County, 12 state troopers and two policemen from Bradford.
Asked if he was concerned for the safety of the children who accompanied him, Jonathan Phelps said, That one over there in purple is a champion runner. And the other three, I guess are in training.
Bradford Police Chief Josh Chambliss, who returned home from Iraq to a 9-month-old baby he had never seen before, had no comment about what he witnessed Wednesday.
But he said he felt he should be there, so he volunteered himself and one other officer.
White County Sheriff Pat Garrett said he brought in volunteers and off-duty deputies to make sure the county was covered while so many were in Beebe.
This man gave up his life so these people have the right to protest, Garrett said.
As a Marine veteran, I find it offensive, but this is the United States of America, and they have the right to believe what they want.
Phelps said members of Westboro Baptist Church never picket the funerals of soldiers whose families have indicated that the services are to be private.
We target only those wanting to use dead children to promote the idea that America is OK, he said.
A new state law prohibits de-monstrating during funerals, so eventually, the Phelps group left, the police officers thinned out and the counter demonstrators relaxed and waited for the funeral procession to the cemetery while An American Soldier by Toby Keith played continually from a car parked on the grass near the highway.
Jessica and Janette Allen, sisters from Sherwood who are home from college for the summer, arrived after the demonstrators left and took their places at the end of the church driveway, saying they wanted to be sure the family saw their signs.
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friend, John 15:13, read Janettes poster board sign.
Her sisters was simpler. We love you Bobby, it said.

Do you prefer your partner shaved or not shaved in their nether regions?
48 Comments on "Your Turn"
Maintained, but not a full on shave for either men or women.
just trim up the balls!
Meauxelle: I like how one reader described Demi's nether regions as having Buckwheat in a headlock. That tickled me to no end!
I can't do full bush. Not on either of us. If I had casual sex, full bush would be a deal breaker (unless of course I was really drunk). Shaved good. Trimmed good. Bush bad.
Tl;dr: bush free is the way to beeeeeee!
I just have a landing strip but for my partner's I prefer they not bring back the 70's. Trimmed.
Hahaha @beckymae! Perfect description
This one makes me think of that photo of Demi Moore where she looks like she's wearing fur undies, except she's not wearing ANY undies.
That photo alarmed and shocked generations of people into various methods of pube removal.
Natural. And spinning a class ring like a hula-hoop.
Nope, just not interested in having a razor that close to the Little Man in the Boat….
I don't know that it's a preference, exactly, but I've never known a man who shaved his nether regions and I'm pretty sure it would be weird.
Not shaved.
You guys are cracking me up.
"Like sucking off a preteen boy" hahahahaha
Trim that shit, especially if its raging out of your butt hole
I'm with @Cleo, trimmed is all I need.
One of my exes, up and surprised me with a bare crotch. He was rather manly, so it seemed like a really strange move. Compounded with the fact that he was maybe average to small-ish, he looked like a large, naked child. So yeah, no – never bare. I want to erase that image from my brain.
Plus, isn't a guy who goes as far as to maintain his bikini line is probably more high-maintenance than I am.
I used to trim the ex, it was fun cuz he was just a little scared of me with a sharp object near his private parts. It was true love.
You gotta keep doing it, every other day if necessary.
You didn't get his reader photo yet?
I like a full bush. I don't like feeling like I could be sucking off a preteen boy. I think men think they have to be smooth and shaved because they're brainwashed by porn.
For my own person…I like it bare as the day as I born…so much so I had it lasered so I can keep it that way.
Enty have you been watching Trance again?????
A full shave just makes him look like a prepubescent boy. No fun in that at all. Full bush and you get hair in your teeth and that's no fun as well.
I think the preference either way is an age thing. In a lot of instances not always of course. My young friends prefer the bare path whereas women my age prefer the bear path (neatened up of course). I prefer men's with hair and girls neat. I blame Hefner for the whole damn baby girl pubis. Men seem to think the bldg looks bigger without any vegetation at the base. WRONG!
I prefer my partner to be comfortable and make his own decisions.
Goldilocks Bush – Not too short, not too long, just right!
neatly maintained: trimmed and shaved low.
I shaved once but the regrowth was beyond awful…like having sandpaper undies on….
I'm a trimmer…..Mr Mae too….there you go, now you know….lol
Hahahahaaa!!! WareCat, you crack me the fuck up!!
@Violet, respect.
if I had a partner I would prefer shaved just like my own nether regions.
untouched by razor or sissor
I will only mention that hairy backs and necks are a definite NO!
Y'all are banking too much on our fondness for the Count..
It is easier for chicks to shave smooth, cause they can wear thongs to soak up ass crack sweat.
Jesus, Enty!!!
Why do u wanna know about my boyfriend's pubic hair, Enterns?
Grooming is definitely a must but full shave is just weird to me.
I don't like when a man shaves his chest hair. It looks and feels horrible. I think all men should wax back hair. I'm a woman, and I go full brazilian wax. I expect the same courtesy in return, so a man definitely needs to shave their pee pees.
I think I've shared a lot on this site. But not this. No way this.
I'm not sure I've ever seen full bush on my men or completely shaved. Oh yeah, I remember a shaved….that was good with me.
Trimmed or shaved – or it's a no go.
Hard wood floors, may be a throw rug from time to time, but hole to hole carpet only occasionally in the winter.
Not that balls are hairy. Yall know what I mean.
I dont care. As long im enjoying it down there
Lol. Right?!
Uh, this is WAY too TMI but what the hell? I'm a lady so I'd say that I like it the same way I like a man's face: groomed but scruffy. I like my men to be manly! 😀
Not.who wants to see bald balls?
It would be nice just to have a partner:(
Full bush
