Natural-born citizen - Definition
In general, a natural-born citizen of a country is someone who is legally recognized as that country's citizen as of the moment of birth, rather than by acquiring citizenship afterwards through naturalization.
In the United States, a person is considered to be born a citizen either due to place of birth within U.S. territorial jurisdiction (jus soli) or through descent from a U.S. citizen (jus sanguinis), or through some combination of those two elements.
"Natural born citizen" as presidential qualification
The special term "natural born Citizen" is used in particular as a requirement for eligibility to serve as President or Vice-President of the United States. Article II, Section 1, clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution states that:
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
The fourteenth amendment to the United State Constitution provides an additional source of constitutional doctrine that emphasizes birth "in the United States" and subjection to U.S. jurisdiction at the time of birth, as the defining elements of citizenship (other than citizenship by naturalization):
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the Jurisdiction thereof, are Citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. . ." Amendment XIV, section 1.
However, the full text of the fourteenth amendment does not mention the phrase "natural-born citizen" nor does it address Presidential qualifications in any way and thus provides little guidance in this matter. In fact, the phrase "natural born Citizen" isn't defined anywhere in the Constitution and its interpretation has never been squarely the subject of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling. Significantly, however, Congress, in which a number of Framers sat, provided in the Naturalization Act of 1790 that "the children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond the sea, . . . shall be considered as natural born citizens. . . ." This strongly suggests that the framers of the Constitution understood this phrase to refer to citizenship acquired at birth (whether or not that birth had taken place on U.S. soil).
The current effective federal statute, Title 8, Section 1401 ( [
link to frwebgate.access.gpo.gov
] first passed by Congress on June 27, 1952 and last amended on October 25, 1994, of the U.S. Code provides details on the circumstances under which persons are legally recognized by the United States to be "nationals and citizens of the United States at birth".
Some legal experts interpret "natural-born citizen" to mean a "citizen at birth." Under one such interpretation, anyone who is duly recognized as a "citizen at birth" persuant to the requirements of Title 8, Section 1401 of the U.S. Code would be considered eligible for the Presidency or Vice-Presidency.
However, this statutory argument is weakened by the following considerations:
Congress probably did not intend to address presidential qualifications in the statute codified at 8 U.S.C. Section 1401, because the law actually passed by Congress does not purport to relate to the "natural born Citizen" qualification for president under Article II; and
Even assuming that it was the intent of Congress to define the constitutional qualification "natural born Citizen," an enactment by Congress would be insufficient to change the Constitution.
The U.S. Supreme Court's reasoning in United States v. Won Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898)(which held that a person born within the jurisdiction of the U.S. but to noncitizens is thereby automatically a citizen) has been viewed by some legal scholars as indicating that a person born abroad, even to parents of U.S. citizens, does not constitue a "natural born" citizen. Likewise, Weedin v. Chin Bow, 274 U.S. 657, 663 (1927) recites that "under the common law which applied in his country, the children of citizens born abroad were not citizens but were aliens." But no Supreme Court case has yet squarely addressed what "natural born Citizen" means in the context of Article II, Section 1, clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution.
The only way for this issue to be conclusively determined would be for the United States Supreme Court to decide this precise question in an actual case. This means that someone who was born abroad, but who held U.S. citizenship from birth through a parent, would have to run for the presidency and be challenged, and then the case would have to make its way to the Supreme Court for a decision.
Throughout American history, several persons born abroad to U.S. citizen parents have sought the Presidency and none were challenged on their eligibility during their election campaigns. The most recent example of such a person was John McCain, born in Panama, who sought the Republican nomination for President in 2000. However, Senator McCain was actually born in the Panama Canal Zone, which means that he was born in a territory subject to United States jurisdiction. It seems likely that a person born on a U.S.-flag boat, or born in a territory under U.S. jurisdiction (for example, Barry Goldwater, who was born in Arizona before it became a state), or possibly even a person born in a U.S. embassy or consular office inside another country, would be included as "natural-born," under the legal fiction that a U.S. consulate is within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.
Of historical note, Martin Van Buren was actually the first "natural born citizen" to become President. Prior Presidents had been born British subjects and were not "natural-born Citizens" but were eligible because they qualified by being "a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution."

She finds out how much damage the sun can cause to your skin and what you can do to stop it.
"I love getting outside and playing when it's hot but it's important to take care because of the sun's harmful ultra-violet rays.
School lunchtimes are the hottest part of the day. I always bring sun cream to school but not everyone in my school does.
It's a real concern for me because my grandad has had skin cancer.
He didn't use sun cream when he was younger. It probably would've helped him.
To find out how much harm the sun can cause, my grandad and I had a special photo taken.
The camera showed skin damage which you can't see with your eyes.
I took the photos to a skin expert in Manchester to find out a bit more. He's a professor who helps people who have skin cancer.
He said that playing in the sun can be good for you in small amounts and it doesn't always cause skin cancer.
He told me that it's important to look after your skin now so that it's not damaged when you are older.
Top Tips
The professor also gave me some useful tips on keeping safe in the sun
If you do all this you should have a great and safe summer."

20,000 Members • 131,655 LEED APs
LEED Commercial (25,460 Registered – 3,316 Certified) Residential (18,061 Registered – 2,661 Certified)
Next week, USGBC's newly announced Building Performance Initiative will be in full swing with the first of five summits planned to raise the level of discussion about how we can ensure that all green buildings perform the way they are intended and that our entire building stock – new and existing buildings alike – is upgraded for measurably better energy, water, human health and natural resources outcomes.
The first Building Performance Initiative summit, in Chicago on Sept. 29, will be followed by an Oct. 6 summit in San Francisco, an Oct. 8 summit in Los Angeles, an Oct. 15 summit in New York City, and an Oct. 21 summit in Washington, D.C. These summits will convene between 75 and 100 people each, and attendees will bring the experience and expertise of a diversity of sectors, including representatives from local, state and federal governments, USGBC chapters, LEED project teams, developers, architects, engineers and many others.
The summits will combine lessons learned from the current state of building performance – both success stories and signs that improvement is needed – and USGBC's proposals for raising the bar on performance. They will provide an opportunity for participants to view USGBC's data collection agenda and proposed analysis methodology and to provide feedback and share their own ideas and insights. USGBC will report on these summits at the 2009 Greenbuild International Conference and Expo in Phoenix, Ariz., Nov. 11-13.
For nearly a decade, LEED has been driving a change throughout the building industry that has led to a new consciousness about the way our buildings are designed, constructed and operated. This new focus on building better buildings has meant great potential for increased efficiency and sustainability, but USGBC has recognized that there is a difference between intention and actual performance.
For the vast majority of well-designed and well-built buildings, the performance advantages are clear. However, when building occupants fail to understand or fully take advantage of their green buildings, there can be a performance gap that we must fill if we are to truly transform the built environment. And without an aggressive, proactive campaign to address performance, the gaps will not be filled.
So the summits are only the first part of the Building Performance Initiative. They begin an essential national discussion about buildings and will guide the continued evolution of a program that is committed to real performance in all buildings through rigorous data collection and analysis, feedback loops and continuous searching for better ways to design, build, manage and occupy buildings.
Quality data about building performance is key to this initiative and will serve two vital purposes. First, the LEED-certified buildings that participate – initially, between 300 and 500 pilot participants dating back to the very first version of LEED – will receive detailed information on how they are performing, what's working, and where there is room for improvement. This will allow those buildings' owners, facilities managers and occupants to make crucial changes to their own protocols and may lead to upgrades, repairs and other efforts to fill the gap.
And USGBC's ultimate goal is that one day, every owner or manager of a LEED-certified building will be actively engaged in measuring, analyzing and improving that building's performance. USGBC took the first step toward that goal by announcing that, under LEED 2009, LEED certification will require project teams to collect and submit ongoing performance data, either through their own measurement or by allowing USGBC access to utility bills and other information.
The second outcome of this data-collection campaign will be its ability to drive the ongoing evolution of LEED, USGBC's strategic planning, future breakthroughs in green building science and technology, improvements in public policy and private-sector initiatives, and an overall better understanding of how we can continue to work toward our goal of green buildings for all within a generation. Green buildings are living labs, and the Building Performance Initiative aims to ensure that all buildings contribute to the body of green building research and knowledge, gaining a better understanding both of how their individual buildings are performing and how we can use that information to improve performance industry-wide.

Heroic Lonhro a legend to last the ages
Page Tools
Lonhro's critics have got it all wrong, writes Adam Barnett.
Tall poppy, where art thou? Let me cut you down! What does Lonhro have to do to get credit, win the Grand National?
I was raised on a steady diet of Australia being the land where people "have a go". It's true - we love to have a go at our best, lest they become big-headed.
Don Nurcombe (Weighing In, July 9) made a compelling case for Dance Hero to be named horse of the year. He's outstanding, maybe the next Manikato, but he'll have to defy a long history of slipper burnouts - Calaway Gal, Prowl, Guineas, Catbird.
Don neglected to mention that Dance Hero raced only two-year-olds, whereas Lonhro took on all comers, and beat them. In his last 20 runs he was beaten twice at the sandpit (Moonee Valley) by a sandpit expert! Lonhro was beaten at Randwick twice, both times on choppy tracks, by Grand Armee, an exceptional galloper that should be Cox Plate favourite. Lonhro is a modern-day Ajax, a sprinter/miler at his best on dry tracks.
If the more prestigious races were the shorter ones, he would have raced exclusively in those. That he was able to win so many 2000-metre races is testimony to his great heart and ability.
The list of horses he beat reads like a who's who of Australian racing: Sunline, Grand Armee, Private Steer, Makybe Diva. He thrashed group 1 sprinters such as Belle Du Jour and Ancient Song.
Too many people today are living in past eras of racing - the days of Phar Lap, Bernborough, Tulloch etc, where horses would win big races by eight or 10 lengths (on dry tracks).
The modern breeding industry, with shuttle stallions, has enabled Australian breeders to improve stocks, with the best bloodlines in the world frequently available here. Some stallions had big advantages in the past due to a lack of competition, such as Star Kingdom and more recently, in Asia, Sunday Silence.
Those big advantages don't exist any more. The differences between horses now is measured globally, and only in very slight terms. Horses are running faster than ever, in all countries. We're much closer to the zenith than ever, with an 82kmh world record top speed for a quarter horse. Lonhro's astonishing speed suggests he is closer to this record than any of his contemporaries, Dance Hero included. When Lonhro is named horse of the year, it will be far more fitting than it was for Research in 1988-89, which, like other "age champions" was found out in open company.
Critics of Lonhro have missed the sheer joy of seeing a fantastic galloper in action. They've missed the thrill of his victories. His Australian Cup win was breathtakingly heroic.
Critics say he didn't beat much in the Australian Cup. Melbourne and Sydney cups winner Makybe Diva got a good view of his rump, albeit at long distance! And there was Victoria Derby winner Elvstroem, and dual group 1 winner Sound Action.
Critics will recall Kingston Town did most of his racing at weight-for-age also. The old days are gone. Lonhro is as good as it gets. Decades from now we'll compare a horse's speed to his: "He's really good, but he's no Lonhro . . . "
Jim Cassidy summed it up best. When riding an opponent, he heard this "whoosh" as Lonhro went flying past.

The reigning Miss Scotland was embroiled yesterday in the latest racism row to be played out in the media after she called the black singer and actress Samantha Mumba 'a monkey' on a live radio programme. Nicola McLean, 22, later insisted she was 'not racist' and apologised for her remarks. She joins a string of politicians and celebrities who have had to apologise recently for inappropriate language on race.
At the end of a week when Patrick Mercer, the Conservative's homeland security spokesman, was sacked following a furore prompted by his remarks about 'idle and useless' ethnic minority soldiers, McLean's outburst has fuelled the debate around race and language.
The beauty queen made the remarks live on Radio Clyde in Glasgow during a conversation about possible new judges for the X Factor talent show on TV. After Mumba, an Irish actress, singer and model, was described as 'attractive' by one of Radio Clyde's presenters, McLean said she thought she 'looked like a monkey'.
Yesterday, McLean admitted the remark was foolish but maintained she is not a racist. 'I am new to this job and have learnt that sometimes flippant remarks can be perceived in a negative manner. There was no malice or premeditated thought here, just a simple mistake and for that I am truly sorry.'
The Observer can also reveal that the Commission for Racial Equality has demanded fans of Tottenham Hotspur stop calling themselves 'Yiddos' or the 'Yid Army' - a reference to the club's strong Jewish links.
The CRE says such behaviour could fuel anti-semitism. 'It is clear that in this day and age racist attitudes and comments are not acceptable,' said a spokeswoman. 'It is the responsibility of all of us to ensure regressive comments such as these do not undermine the achievements that have been made in race equality.'
The commission's intervention has given renewed impetus to an issue that has bitterly divided opinion among the club's supporters, Jewish groups and campaigners against racism in football. It comes as the police investigate video footage showing some West Ham fans chanting, 'I'd rather be a Paki than a Jew' during their 4-3 defeat by Spurs last Sunday.
Piara Powar, director of the Kick It Out campaign against racism in football, said: 'We have had complaints from fans that the chant is used regularly at White Hart Lane. One guy was in his seventies, had fought in the war and was Jewish, and he was deeply offended. A young fan went to Spurs with his dad and sang it but then used the word "Yid" inappropriately in the school playground.'
Jon Benjamin, chief executive of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, said: 'The term "Yiddo" has always been regarded as abusive. It comes from the Russian "zhid" and means Jew. It is highly offensive and always has been.'
Race awareness campaigners say there is no excuse for those in the public spotlight failing to appreciate how their words will have political repercussions. 'The first time I was called a Paki I didn't even know what it meant,' said Denis Fernando, of the National Assembly Against Racism (NAAR). 'It was only when I understood the hatred behind the word and was able to put it into context I realised it was hurtful. People have got to understand the social structure behind words.'
Nevertheless, Britain appears to be much less concerned than New York over the relationship between language and race, according to race awareness campaigners. Last year, Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles had an on-air spat with actress Halle Berry after he adopted a faux black American rapper's accent. 'Are we having a racist moment here?' asked Berry, a suggestion furiously denied by the breakfast presenter.
DC Thomson, publisher of the Dandy, provoked outrage shortly before Christmas when it reissued a 1939 anniversary edition of the comic in which a character - Smarty Grandpa - used the word 'nigger' repeatedly. And the image of reality TV star Jade Goody was severely damaged after what many viewers believed was her racist bullying of a fellow Big Brother housemate, Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty. Yesterday it emerged police have dropped their investigation into the affair. Goody was forced to apologise to Shetty following her remarks. 'I'm not racist, but I can see why it has had the impact it's had,' she said.
More recently, the media have been criticised by some for repeated references to Lord Levy's Jewish background, leading to claims that certain stories about Tony Blair's Middle East envoy and chief fundraiser contain 'a whiff of anti-semitism'.
Race equality campaigners are now starting to express alarm over the number of politicians and celebrities who provoke fury over their allegedly racist comments but issue what are perceived to be only half-hearted retractions in which they deny their racist undertones. 'The relationship between language and race is extremely important,' said Milena Buyum, coordinator for the NAAR. 'In a court of law proving someone used the word "nigger" before an attack can be used to show it was a racist attack, which can add an extra two years on the sentence.'
Such an example is an overt link between race and language, but Buyum is concerned at the increasing preponderance of more subtle behaviour surfacing in popular culture, such as Jade Goody ridiculing Shilpa Shetty over her accent and her food while in the Big Brother house.
This argument, however, is met with a sharp retort from some cultural commentators who complain the Big Brother row was another example of 'political correctness gone mad'. Last week a head teacher accused police of overreacting when eight boys were arrested for chanting, 'Yid army' during a leaving ceremony at Chauncy School, Ware, Hertfordshire. Likewise, Mercer's comments last week drew support from many quarters, not least a number of black soldiers who served under him.
A growing backlash against multiculturalism has made tackling racism increasingly difficult, according to experts. They warn complaints from both liberal and right-wing commentators that multiculturalism hasn't worked and that ethnic communities are failing to integrate is perpetuating the fear of 'otherness'.

New directions in research and technology policy: Identifying the key issues
This paper outlines a conceptual framework and some empirical objectives for analytical work on research and innovation policy. It sketches some major changes which have occurred in our understanding of the links between science, innovation and technological change over the past twenty years, considers their policy implications, and then suggests some core priorities for research in such fields as research policy studies, growth economics, the economics of technological change, innovation and firm studies, etc. The basic problem is to explore the policy implications of the move to a knowledge-based economy. This has a number of dimensions, which at a minimum include basic science policy, technology policies aimed at invention and innovation, diffusion policies, and all policies related to the adoption of new technologies technology policy aspects of industrial and regional policies human capital, human resources and mobility, including all aspects of education and training This paper concerns only parts of these issues; it focuses on the conceptual basis, structure and content of a research programme directed towards industrial innovation and diffusion policy, at national and regional levels. Over the past two decades, social scientists in a range of fields have in effect carried out a major programme of research on science, technology and innovation. If there is any unity in this research, it is simply the view that these activities are social and economic processes, not simply technical processes of discovery and invention. The argument here is that this research has reached the stage where it is both necessary and possible to rethink the rationale, objectives and instruments of policies in the general areas of science, technology, innovation and industrial change. At the same time, this background research work opens up new areas of policy-relevant questions. This paper therefore overviews some of the main themes in modern research in innovation and technological change, focusing on their implications for policy. How does recent research change our conceptions of the appropriate objectives and methods of science and technology policy? Against this background, what are the main unresolved problems facing policy-makers over the next ten years? What kinds of conclusions can we draw regarding research priorities and objectives for policy researchers in the years ahead? After discussing these issues, the next section explores how these problems can be investigated.

Carmen Electra Dives into Music Career with Steamy New Video (PHOTOS)
"I love acting — but deep down inside this is what I have wanted to do for so long," she told Celebuzz. "I have got to the point in my life where I have felt like I have to go for it. Now is the time."
But she isn't leaving her sexy image behind. In fact, Electra just released a slew of steamy behind-the-scenes snaps from an upcoming music video.
Set to debut in early 2013, the "I Like It Loud" clip shows the fabulous-at-40-year-old lounging next to a handsome man in the back of a limousine that's cruising New York City. Also on display: a whole lot of sex appeal, courtesy of Electra's plunging red mini dress.
The former Playboy playmate shot to stardom when she replaced Jenny McCarthy as the co-host on the MTV dating series Singled Out in 1997; it parlayed into a movie career that included flicks such as Scary Movie, Date Movie and Disaster Movie. She also starred in TV's Baywatch.
"I Like It Loud" hit online stores on Nov. 13; it's the first song that Electra has released since 1992, when her mentor, Prince, produced her self-titled debut album.
Click through the gallery above to see more stills from Electra's sexy music video, and watch the interview below to hear more about her aspirations as a musician.

text: Hi Brian, I am not sure this is what you're looking for but few months back I integrated comsol with Moab. This is how I did it. This is where I found the documentation. http://www.clusterresources.com/products/mwm/docs/MWMAdminGuide5_4.pdf : Ch 184.108.40.206 We have floating comsol license (2 seat) and heat transfer module with one seat. First, I tried by adding these two lines. This makes moab talk directly to license manager. It works well. The major problem with this approach is that it totally depends on the license manager for the number of available licenses. This means it fails in a situation as below: RMCFG[FLEXlm] TYPE=NATIVE RESOURCETYPE=LICENSE RMCFG[FLEXlm] CLUSTERQUERYURL=exec://$TOOLSDIR/license.mon.flexLM.pl Assume that only one license is available. User submits a job but doesn't check out the license for a while. Moab talks to license manager as soon as job is submitted and when it sees that license is available it starts running the job. But user hasn't started running, let's say comsol, in the first half an hour. This means license is not checked out from the license manager. In the mean time a new user comes submits the job that needs comsol. Moab talks to license manager and since license is not yet checked out it gets notified by license manager that license is available and hence moab starts running this job as well. As you can see at some point one of the job fails. So, I preferred this method as Moab knows how many license are available and it doesn't need to talk to license manager at all. I have added these two lines to moab.cfg NODECFG[GLOBAL] GRES=COMSOL:2 NODECFG[GLOBAL] GRES=HEATTRANSFER:1 and asked users to add this line to their pbs scripts. #PBS -W x=GRES:comsol,heattransfer I check the resources with this command: # mdiag -n GLOBAL compute node summary Name State Procs Memory Opsys ----- --- 0:0 0:0 ----- Total Nodes: 0 (Active: 0 Idle: 0 Down: 0) NODE[GLOBAL] Config Res COMSOL: 2 HEATTRANSFER: 1 NODE[GLOBAL] Dedicated Res --- NODE[GLOBAL] Available Res COMSOL: 2 HEATTRANSFER: 1 Finally, I put a script on our login nodes for users to see how many licenses are available: This is the script: [root at login-0-0 ~]# cat /usr/local/bin/comsol_licenses #!/bin/bash toolbox[0]="Toolbox" total[0]="Licenses" use[0]="In Use" available[0]="Available" printf "\n%-21s %-10s %-9s %s\n\n" "${toolbox[0]}" "${total[0]}" "${use[0]}" "${available[0]}" i=0 IFS=$'\n' for line in `/usr/local/bin/flexlm/bin/lmutil lmstat -a -c 1718@<license server 1 fqdn>:1718@<license server 2 fqdn>:1718@<license server 3 fqdn> | egrep " \(Total "` do i=$(($i+1)) toolbox[$i]=$(echo $line | awk -F" " '{print $3}') total[$i]=$(echo $line | awk -F" " '{print $6}') use[$i]=$(echo $line | awk -F" " '{print $11}') available[$i]=$((${total[$i]}-${use[$i]})) done for ((j=1;j<${#toolbox[@]};j++)) do printf "%-25s %-9s %-9s %s\n" "${toolbox[$j]}" "${total[$j]}" "${use[$j]}" "${available[$j]}" done printf "\n" [root at login-0-0 ~]# this is the output we get when it is run: [root at login-0-0 ~]# comsol_licenses Toolbox Licenses In Use Available COMSOL: 2 0 2 COMSOLBATCH: 2 0 2 CFD: 2 0 2 CFDBATCH: 2 0 2 LLMATLAB: 2 0 2 LLMATLABBATCH: 2 0 2 MATLIB: 2 0 2 MATLIBBATCH: 2 0 2 MICROFLUIDICS: 2 0 2 MICROFLUIDICSBATCH: 2 0 2 PARTICLETRACING: 2 0 2 PARTICLETRACINGBATCH: 2 0 2 LLEXCEL: 2 0 2 LLEXCELBATCH: 2 0 2 MOLECULARFLOW: 2 0 2 MOLECULARFLOWBATCH: 2 0 2 HEATTRANSFER: 1 0 1 HEATTRANSFERBATCH: 1 0 1 COMSOLGUI: 2 0 2 CLIENTSERVER: 2 0 2 CLUSTERNODE: 2 0 2 HT: 1 0 1 [root at login-0-0 ~]# Obviously, this looks nice on the terminal.

Dear Social Media Swami: Hey, Facebook Friend, Who Are You Again?
Dear Social Media Swami,
People try to contact me on Facebook, we become friends, yada yada. I assume that it's just the "we went to the same college" thing and think nothing of it. Then they write me messages like we know/knew each other and I literally have no recollection of ever speaking a word to them. What the eff do you do in a situation such as this? Do I play along? I feel like Facebook is always getting me into strange and uncomfortable scenarios.

Dear OMG It's Been Forever Right,
Stalkers 1, You 0.
Tsk, tsk, OMG. Automatically assuming you know the people friend requesting you on Facebook? Bad, yo, very, very bad. Dude, maybe you knew Shane Smallscock and maybe you didn't, but guess what? That's something you oughta suss out from the get-go, partner, not after you hit that Confirm button. Don't recognize Jane Jigglesworth? Don't accept Jane Jigglesworth as your friend. Easy as pie. Right, right, you don't want to piss people off that you may've met in a dark alley behind 7-11 and swore in a tequila-infused moment that you'd never, ever forget 'em. You've got meaningful friendships to preserve, gotcha. But if you can't identify someone via a profile photo or a full name, are these people really that integral to your network?
However, that's moot in your circumstances. Your question seems to indicate you're way past the point of flippant rejection. The perpetrators have emerged from behind enemy lines, and they're armed. With gobs and gobs of personal information. About you. PANIC AT THE DISCO!
So how do you handle it? Simple. Buck up and confront it. For example, Meg Mesofine is saying, "Remember that time we went to Jamaica on spring break and tied those naked frat boys to a tree and drank coconut juice as it dribbled from their bellybuttons?" And you know - well, okay, you're fairly certain, to the best of your recollection, of course (damnit, details get hazy, don't they?) - that you were only traipsing about the island with Suzy Dee Sanchez that night. Curious. Time to balls up and ask for corroboration already. A little message saying, "Hey, I'm sorry, I'm the asshole, but refresh my memory on how we met again?" A bona fide, ride-'n-die Facebook friend will forgive the oversight with minimal inflicted pain and fill in the blanks for you. And if they don't? Take the axe to your friend list and chop 'em out, Paul Bunyan.
Would you leave your wallet wide open on the bar at Poison Girl on a Thursday night with your junk splayed all about (your wallet, not your legs)? You know the answer to that. Hopefully. So quit giving unverified friendships the benefit of the doubt and exercise (or develop) that discerning eye. Or else you'll only have yourself to blame when Scott the Psycho calls you by name on the street and follows you home at night with Astroglide, electrical tape, and a turpentine-soaked rag in his pockets.
Peace, love, and blogs,

Classic Greek Salad with Shrimp
This classic Greek salad of romaine, sweet onion, tomatoes, Kalamata olives and feta cheese is topped with jumbo shrimp that have been pan-seared in olive oil and seasoned with a pinch of oregano and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Classic Greek Salad with Shrimp
Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 5 minutes Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
- Ingredients:
- 1 lb jumbo (16-20/lb) shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails left on)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1-1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 medium lemon
- 1 medium head (about 1 lb) romaine lettuce, washed and torn into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cucumber, halved lengthwise and sliced
- 1/2 medium sweet onion, thinly sliced
- 4 ounces crumbled Feta cheese
- 2 ripe tomatoes, cored and cut into wedges
- 1 cup pitted Kalamata olives, sliced
- For the dressing:
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1-1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, very finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Make the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, mustard, salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Set aside.
Lightly season the shrimp with salt, pepper and oregano. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook until firm and opaque, 1-1/2 minutes per side. Remove from the heat, squeeze the lemon over the shrimp and set aside.
Combine the lettuce, cucumber, onion, feta cheese and tomatoes in a large salad bowl. Drizzle with dressing and toss to combine. Divide the salad between 4 plates and top with shrimp.
Recipe Variation:
This recipe can just as easily be made with chicken. Simply substitute 12 chicken tenderloins for the shrimp, season and cook according to the directions above, increasing the cooking time to2-1/2 to 3 minutes per side.

Dr LEIGH (Fraser) (12:26): Once upon a time in a country far, far away a world leader stood up and discussed three environmental challenges that faced the world: acid rain, the hole in the ozone layer and greenhouse gases. The first, a nation solved through an innovative approach, an approach the member for Flinders championed in his honours thesis. It was a market based approach, which was the same market based approach George Bush Snr put into place, that made companies pay for the privilege of putting noxious gases into the air. The results of market based mechanisms tend to be better than are envisaged by policy makers at the outset. Industries put in place innovative solutions to ensure that the economic cost is minimised and the environmental problem is solved.
The second of those problems—the hole in the ozone layer—was resolved through nations being good global citizens, acting in the knowledge that other nations were acting, as well. That process culminated in the Montreal protocol and has seen the hole in the ozone layer gradually shrink over recent decades.
On the last challenge, this leader in a land far, far away, Margaret Thatcher, pledged to make drastic cuts to her nation's greenhouse gas emissions and set up a centre for research. Thanks to the work of centres such as the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research, there is a consensus among climate scientists that dangerous climate change is occurring and that dangerous carbon pollution is the cause. Yet many of those opposite continue to be silenced by those who do not accept the scientific evidence. The Minister for Climate Change has on many occasions put on record the comments of the sceptics opposite. Indeed, yesterday, on the very day the Climate Commission was meeting in this building to outline the scientific consensus, the likes of Senators Joyce and Macdonald were in Senate estimates challenging the Bureau of Meteorology on climate change.
Anthropogenic climate change is of course backed by the Australian Academy of Sciences, the Bureau of Meteorology, CSIRO, NASA, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the vast majority of climate scientists. Yet there are many in the coalition party room who still cannot accept the overwhelming scientific evidence.
If the Leader of the Opposition is the political love child of John Howard and the member for McKellar, then Margaret Thatcher would surely be his political godmother. Yet Margaret Thatcher accepted the scientific evidence for climate change as far back as the 1980s. The UK Conservatives—the political cousins of those opposite—have accepted there is no debate about the science of climate change and the necessity of acting. The British Tories have accepted this. They are using a market based approach to secure the environmental future of Britain and the globe. The bill before the House is part of the government's commitment to act on dangerous climate change to secure our future so that future generations can continue to enjoy our golden soil and wealth for toil.
A creed of the farming sector is to ensure that farmers leave the land in better shape than that in which they inherited it. Our farmers are some of the most passionate advocates for environmental protection. The Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Bill creates opportunities for farmers, foresters and landholders to access carbon markets and help to reduce emissions. We know that Australians are among the highest per capita emitters in the developed world. We also have among the highest agricultural emissions. Protecting biodiversity, helping to regenerate landscapes, improving soil quality through increased carbon storage and helping to address salinity through tree planting are just some of the opportunities available to Australia's Farmers.
Some of these things are not new, but this bill will help us to drive innovation, to find better ways of using our agricultural and land assets to reduce our emissions. The bill will help us to create a market for carbon permits and provide investment certainty. Credits will be given for every tonne of carbon stored. Schemes will need to go through an approval process that will ensure the integrity of the abatement being undertaken. We are balancing regulatory simplicity with environmental integrity.
Projects will need to be recognised. The offset methodology will need approval. Projects will need to be done in accordance with the approved methodology and any other eligibility requirements. Once project managers have reported on the projects, they will be issued with Australian carbon credit units, or ACCUs. These units can be used to offset emissions or can be traded on the market. To ensure the integrity of the abatement, an expert committee, the Domestic Offsets Integrity Committee, has been established to make sure we get real and verifiable abatement.
Other elements of the design of the scheme to ensure the integrity of credits include issuing credits after the sequestration or emissions reduction has actually occurred; tracking credits through a central national registry—that is included in the registry bill; transparency provisions, including the publication of a wide range of information about approved projects; appropriate enforcement provisions to address noncompliance; and a robust auditing scheme based on the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting System.
The scheme has received backing from a range of organisations. CSIRO experts told the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Climate Change, Environment and the Arts looking at the bill:
… industry and community individuals and groups as well as the private sector have much to offer in terms of innovative ideas on greenhouse gas abatement.
Carbon Neutral said:
This initiative has the potential to drive funding into rural communities, increase green collar jobs and improve the natural environment whilst simultaneously contributing to domestic climate change adaptation and mitigation measures.
Greenfleet, who have established 450 forests and planted more than 6.8 million native trees since 1997, said:
We believe that carbon forestry projects are unlikely to displace high-value agricultural production on the nation's most productive soils. We believe that carbon forestry projects are and will remain peripheral to prime agricultural production and in fact may improve, but not replace, sophisticated farming systems.
The scheme is also backed by the Wentworth Group of Concerned Scientists, named after William Wentworth, whose name seems to crop up quite frequently on the science based side of the climate change debate.
Today the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and the Parliamentary Secretary for Climate Change announced that Indigenous land managers across remote regions will be able to earn carbon credits through improving fire management under the government's carbon farming initiative. The methodology is a world first and represents a unique combination of traditional Indigenous ecological knowledge, cutting edge modern science and the substantial economic potential that is emerging in carbon markets as governments around the world take action on climate change. This world action is also reflected in part of these bills today. The Australian National Registry of Emissions Units Bill 2011 is part the government's commitment under the Kyoto protocol. The registry will help ensure accurate accounting of emissions, consistent with the Kyoto protocol.
But those opposite continue to deride action on climate change. They miss the fact that the world is moving. They miss the fact that 32 countries now have emissions trading schemes. They miss the fact that India and China, despite having far lower emissions per capita than Australia, are making substantial investments in renewable energy. They miss the fact that the UK, as part of the European Union, is engaged in emissions trading.
At the same time, we are listening to the economists just as we are listening to the scientists. We are recognising the benefits of market based mechanisms over command and control. I think it is often recognised in this place that there is an overwhelming consensus among scientists, but the overwhelming consensus among economists is sometimes missed. Allow me to quote from two senior economics professors. John Quiggin wrote in his blog on 10 May:
I had a call from a local business organization asking if I would talk at a breakfast about the carbon tax to be held in a few weeks. The date was fine, so I said yes, then came the kicker—they wanted an economist on each side of the issue. The organizer said they had plenty of economists willing to speak for the tax, but they couldn't find any willing to speak against it. I gamely offered to present the case for an emissions trading scheme as opposed to a tax (even though, at the moment, I lean to a tax). But they wanted an actual opponent of any kind of carbon price, who was also an economist. This has proved to be impossible, which is pretty impressive testimony to the quality of the Queensland economics profession, and to the underappreciated fact that economists are among the strongest supporters of good environmental policy.
Joshua Gans, currently at Melbourne Business School and shortly moving to the University of Toronto—Canada's gain and Australia's loss, I have to say—wrote on the website of The Drum on 7 April:
Sadly, there are plenty of people who aren't climate change scientists who are comfortable disbelieving the general consensus from climate change scientists.
But perhaps it is more disturbing when people—especially politicians—ignore or deny the evidence on how to actually achieve lower emissions. Why is that more disturbing? Because it could be that politicians want to actually reduce emissions but instead advocate policies that are likely to do the opposite.
Of course, when I am talking of advocating opposite policies I am talking mainly, but not exclusively, of the Federal Opposition. What they want to do is take direct action. It's not big on specifics but it will cost a lot of money ($10 billion plus) and will award that money to people who claim they are going to do good things in reducing emissions.
Joshua Gans goes on to say:
It is ironic that on climate change policy, politics are in the bizarro-world where the supposedly anti-market Greens side with Hayek while the supposedly pro-market Coalition sides with Lenin. The economic evidence strongly suggests that the Greens policies match their goals while the reverse is true for the Coalition. I can't parse the dual hypotheses that either the Coalition just deny economic evidence or that they actually want more emissions and handouts to business. Perhaps one of their number can enlighten us.
Finally, I want to go to the amendment moved by the member for Flinders. As I have noted in my speech, the government's legislation will create new, real and lasting economic opportunities for regional communities. Stakeholders in the land sector are desperate for a mechanism to credit their actions to reduce and store carbon pollution. Farmers and landholders want access to carbon markets worth hundreds of millions of dollars each year for regional and rural Australia. But the coalition are currently holding them back.
With the amendment moved today, the member for Flinders has essentially told farmers that the coalition wants to delay the farmers from receiving these benefits. He is signalling that the coalition would rather play politics than support farmers. Farmers and landholders want politicians to end the gamesmanship so that they can know the framework that they will be working under. They want us to resolve the detail and put in place a framework that measures the savings that they are making.
There has been extensive consultation on this initiative over a number of years. It builds on the work of other offset mechanisms. Let us look at what key groups like the National Farmers Federation submitted to the House inquiry. They said:
The legislation addresses NFF concerns around potential perverse outcomes in relation to food production, water, local communities, environment and biodiversity as well as reduces some of the uncertainty and administrative costs surrounding crediting periods, reporting timeframes and offsets compliance.
They also said:
the government deserves credit for listening to the farm sector and modifying its proposals to ensure that genuine abatement opportunities under the CFI are not unnecessarily overlooked.
The government's carbon farming initiative is based on the science of climate change but developed with a key focus on practicality. The department is releasing over the next few weeks a number of the first detailed methodologies showing in practical terms how particular landholders can put projects together. We have been consulting extensively on the regulations to establish the positive and negative lists. We will be providing details of those lists shortly. The regulations deal with technical matters required to be based on independent advice from the Domestic Offset Integrity Committee. It is essential to the credibility and value of the offsets credit that are created by the initiative. The coalition's amendment is for a scheme in which the activities added and credited are based on politics rather than science. That approach has not credibility in carbon markets and no credibility in the community. The government calls on the coalition to stop playing politics and to support the government's efforts to reward farmers who are taking action on climate change.
In closing, I observe the sad fact that, as scientists often note, climate change can be dominated by tipping points—sudden moments like the melting of polar icecaps, at which point the progress of climate change, the warming, becomes more rapid. Perhaps the best example of a tipping point was the Leader of the Opposition's one-vote ousting of the member for Wentworth as the Leader of the Liberal Party in 2009. That tipping point moved us from a path on which the coalition were, as they had been in the 2007 federal election, advocating market based mechanisms supported by sensible conservatives around the globe. That moved us into a bizarro world in which the current Leader of the Opposition advocates command and control policies, policies unsupported by serious scientists or serious economists. That tipping point has left the Australian debate over carbon pricing well adrift from what you see in mainstream debates all around the globe. Even when I go into schools in my electorate I find young children in Australia deeply concerned by the lack of willingness to act on climate change and deeply concerned at the fact that at the moment carbon pollution is free and that the opposition is attempting to block the government's sensible and practical move to put a price on carbon pollution.

Texture analysis (TA) is a branch of image processing which seeks to reduce image information by extracting texture descriptors from the image. White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are frequently observed in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), however the etiology is still unknown. Ischemic and demyelination have been proposed as possible etiologies. Support vector machines (SVM) are a group of supervised learning methods that can be applied to classification or regression. SVM performs classification by constructing a set of hyperplanes in a high dimensional space that optimally separates the data into different categories. A classification task usually involves separating data into training and testing sets. The goal of SVM is to produce a model based on the training data which predicts the target values of the test data given only the test data attributes. Objective: To produce a training model that accurately differentiates WMH of multiple sclerosis (MS) and stroke from normal white matter. To determine attributes that best characterizes WMH in SLE and to analyze clinical and laboratory features that may differentiate SLE patients with demyelination from ischemic WMH.
TA was applied to axial T2-weighted magnetic resonance images (MRI) of 30 SLE, 30 MS, and 10 stroke patients and 30 normal controls, all age and sex-matched. The TA approach used was based on the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrices (GLCM). The WMH were manually segmented for each subject, classified in periventricular and subcortical WMH and 256 texture parameters were computed for each lesion. A SVM classifier was developed based on texture features of normal white matter and WMH in MS and stroke patients. The classifier was then used to classify WMH in SLE patients. Nature of the classified WMH, demographic, clinical and laboratory features were included in a regression model to determine which variables could help to predict the nature of WMH in clinical practice.
We achieve a accuracy rate of 0.9 on a database of 97 ROIs to training procedure, and 41 ROIs to testing procedure. Of the 24 periventricular WMH, 18 (75%) were classified as ischemic and 6 (25%) as demyelination. Of 44 subcortical lesions, 26 (59%) were classified as ischemic and 18 (41%) as demyelination. Age (odds ratio [OR] 1.7, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.586.72), hypertension (OR=2.6; 95%CI 1.95.3) and positive antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) (OR=1.9; 95%CI 1.27.3) were variables associated with stroke, whereas shorter disease duration (OR=3.1; 95%CI 2.27.5) and new onset of neurologic symptoms (OR=1.8; 95%CI 1.23.5) were associated with demyelination.
Although 75% of WMH were classified as ischemic in nature, we identified approximately 25% of demyelinating WMH in SLE. SMV of TA is a useful method to help to determine etiology of WMH in SLE. Age, hypertension and aPL were variables associated with ischemic; shorter disease duration and new onset neurologic symptoms were associated with demyelinating lesions in this cohort.

Urinary (or bladder) incontinence happens when you are not able to keep urine from leaking out of your urethra. The urethra is the tube that carries urine out of your body from your bladder. You may leak urine from time to time. Or, you may not be able to hold any urine.
The three main types of urinary incontinence are:
Mixed incontinence occurs when you have more than one type of urinary incontinence.
Bowel incontinence is when you are unable to control the passage of stool. It is not covered in this article.
Loss of bladder control; Uncontrollable urination; Urination - uncontrollable; Incontinence - urinary
Causes of urinary incontinence include:
Incontinence may be sudden and go away after a short period of time. Or, it may continue long-term. Causes of sudden or temporary incontinence include:
Causes that may be more long-term:
If you have symptoms of incontinence, see your health care provider for tests and a treatment plan. Which treatment you get depends on what caused your incontinence and what type you have.
There are four main treatment approaches for urinary incontinence:
Lifestyle changes. These changes may help improve incontinence. You may need to make these changes along with other treatments.
For urine leaks, wear absorbent pads or undergarments. There are many well-designed products no one else will notice.
Bladder training and pelvic floor exercises. Bladder retraining helps you gain better control over your bladder. Kegel exercises can help strengthen the muscles of your pelvic floor. Your provider can show you how to do them. Many women do not do these exercises correctly, even if they believe they are doing them correctly. Often, people benefit from formal bladder strengthening and retraining with a pelvic floor specialist.
Medicines. Depending on the type of incontinence you have, your health care provider may prescribe one or more medicines. These drugs help prevent muscle spasms, relax the bladder, and improve bladder function. Your provider can help you learn how to take these medicines and manage their side effects.
Surgery. If other treatments do not work, or you have severe incontinence, your provider may recommend surgery. The type of surgery you have will depend on:
If you have overflow incontinence or you cannot fully empty your bladder, you may need to use a catheter. You may use a catheter that stays in long term, or one that you are taught to put in and take out yourself.
Talk to your health care provider about incontinence. Health care providers who treat incontinence are called gynecologists and urologists. They can find the cause and recommend treatments.
Call your local emergency number (such as 911) or go to an emergency room if you suddenly lose control over urine and you have:
Call your health care provider if you have:

Update, 1:25 p.m.: The King "remains on his throne tonight in Buffalo":http://weblogs.newsday.com/sports/hockey/rangers/blog/. And a a banged-up Marek Malik is a possible scratch in favor of Jason Strudwick.
Update, 12:05 p.m.: My colleague Peter Abraham, despite being a good friend, "has a different opinion":http://yankees.lhblogs.com/. This doesn't necessarily make him a bad person. Or at least not completely.
There's also a report from John Dellapina at the News saying the Rangers are close to a deal "to play a game at Yankee Stadium next winter":http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/2008/03/09/2008-03-09_yankee_stadium_game_likely_for_rangers.html.
Bring it on, I say! Peanuts, Cracker Jacks, and HGH for everyone!
Seriously, I'm all for anything that puts hockey on a grander stage, and given my well-documented affection for all things involving outdoor hockey, this would be even better.
The question is who should the opponent be. Does it need to be another New York team? If not, does it have to be an Original Six franchise? I say yes to the latter. Given the rivalry between the Yankees and the Red Sox, Rangers-Bruins at the Stadium would be a welcome new twist.
