I have only just stumbled across Paul Clarke's brilliant blog. Over the next few weeks, I'm aiming to rectify that omission. It's like when, as a kid, you came across a new writer in your local library with a whole shelf of offerings – and whose first book you then read and ended up loving to bits. Do you remember how that was? Well, I certainly do.
Paul has a beautifully fashioned thesis on what we might term Twitter's automated unfollow "feature". In his own words:
You find out one day that you're not following someone you know you used to follow. And you're dead sure you didn't do it yourself. Either you or they have spotted the omission on a list, or they've tried to send a DM and failed. They might let you know about it. They might not. The relationship gets reinstated. Or it doesn't. Life goes on.
So is this cock-up or conspiracy? A bug in the system that lets people slip through the cracks like this?
I don't think it's a bug at all, but a feature. A piece of very clever social design. Here's why.
And thus it is that he goes on to explain. And if you want to find out, then I urge you to read the piece in full.
Now I don't know Paul – in fact, we've only just befriended each other via Twitter itself. But it seems to me that the explanation he gives for exactly why Twitter has this allegedly intentional and "buggy" implementation indicates the presence of a far kindlier soul than you might – for instance – find in myself. My immediate thought – and it's located in a nexus of thoughts which in different ways I've had before in relation to Facebook's own "deficiencies" – is that "buggy" implementations of both social media software as well as search engine algorithms allow for a perfect excuse to break down growing nodes of interaction you might prefer to impede – a kind of virtual censorship, in fact, with no ownership required. No one need know if three or four users, or a dozen or a hundred, who together might do big, useful but traditionally deconstructing things together, never actually get to know of each other's presence. Or if they do, never get to consummate their relationship because the software breaks the relationship down – and the disconnection is interpreted on both sides to be mutually deliberate.
Paul's thesis is certainly seductive – and even convincing; and I suppose the fact that, in start-ups, we still have an environment hidden away from the prying eyes of state-run security organisations would suggest that software engineers in such a context still might have the liberty to play the kind of games he describes. What's more, the reality of such engineering might mean his idea, whilst seductive, is actually unnecessary to explain the circumstance under discussion. As a commenter to his piece pointed out:
As interesting as this is as a theory. The developer in me just can't buy the idea that Twitter are doing this deliberately. I've followed the Twitter API for as long as it's been around – they've got their hands full just keeping it stable and adding important features without introducing something as discreetly clever as this
Meanwhile, even as I continue to love his idea, I'm still inclined to run with my alternative explanation: the ease with which my thesis could be implemented, the reliance people have on the first ten searches which appear on Google and the self-evident probability that these large American companies will do constructive things for large American governments are all things which make me believe my interpretation, whilst clearly compatible with his, in the long run will tend to take over in any network of communication on the scale we are talking about – and eventually become the dominant structure behind what is allowed to happen amongst its users.
Unless, of course, that network were to be technically visible and transparent – that is to say, open-sourced – to anyone who cared to look.
But then that is a matter for a quite separate post.

Ubisoft has firmed up UK pricing for its online pass, the Uplay Passport. It costs Ł7.99 on PS3 and PC while Xbox 360 owners pay 800 Points (Ł6.80).
"Uplay Passport-enhanced" games require gamers to input a code to unlock online modes and other "exclusive features". New retail versions include the code, while second-hand buyers must stump up for access.
Driver: San Francisco will be the first game to incorporate the system when it launches on 2nd September.
Ubisoft is the latest publisher to jump on the online pass bandwagon, following similar schemes by EA, Sony, Codemasters, Warner Bros and THQ.
The Uplay Passport was first confirmed earlier this month. US gamers will be charged roughly the same - $9.99.

LARAMIE, Wyo. -
The University of Wyoming women's golf team completed competition at the rain-shortened BYU Dixie Classic on Tuesday in St. George, Utah. Wyoming finished 14th of 14 teams with a two-round total of 697 strokes (+121).
No. 26 UNLV claimed their third straight BYU Dixie Classic title, extending a first round lead and posting a 14-stroke victory over 16th-ranked Arkansas. UNLV scored 617 (+41). Arkansas finished in second at 631 followed by host BYU and Portland State.
Cowgirl freshman Laura Mengelkamp had Wyoming's best finish with identical rounds of 83, scoring 166 (+22) which tied her for 40th of 77 golfers.
BYU's Rachel Newren took individual medalist honors by one stroke over UNLV's Seema Sadekar. Newren used a final 18 score of one-under par 71 to finish at 149 (+5). UNLV's Hwanhee Lee could not hold her Day One lead and finished third, two strokes back.
An afternoon rainstorm on Monday forced cancellation of the second round, shortening the tournament from 54 to 36 holes.
The 18th annual two-day tournament was played at Entrada at Snow Canyon. Entrada plays to a par of 72 and measures 6,151 yards.
Wyoming now has two weeks to prepare for the Mountain West Conference Tournament which will be played April 21-23 in Sunriver, Ore.
UW Individual Results Scores

Wasteland 2 - Thwacke Interview @ Ars Technica
Ars Techica talked with Sebastian Alverado from Thwacke, the consulting firm which is helping with the development of the game when it comes to the science in it. A quote on why he started his company:
After a year and a half of mulling over the idea, Thwacke's Sebastian Alvarado officially set up shop in April. He was pushed by a frustration with games that tend to use science and technology as a kind of unexplained magic to make things work in a fictional world. Take the "genetic memories" that power the time-spanning animus in the Assassin's Creed games. Alvarado, an expert in evolutionary genetics himself, says there's actually something to the concept of passing down learning through genes. Still, "DNA is such an easy cop-out these days," he told Ars. "It's an easy way to explain all that, and they just expect the player to say, 'Well he said DNA so now I have to buy the story.' It's like a magic gateway.
And apparently, crabs survive a nuclear fallout:
The scientists found the humble hermit crab was a likely candidate for post-nuclear survival, thanks to its ability to absorb radiation in its shell and then discard it during a molting cycle. That's the academically valid, scientific part. But since this is still a video game, they wanted to make sure it was a little "off the wall" as Alvarado put it. "We used radiation as a very simple gaming mechanism to argue that it makes animals super large, because everyone knows radiation makes things super-large... we'll just take that one as a granted," he said, laughing. "So let's let these hermit crabs get [so big] they can't find housing in their conventional shell and they'll actually seek housing in a bus or a telephone booth or something like that."
It also important no to be to realistic, it is a game after all:
Alvarado agrees wholeheartedly. "I know some people are saying, 'Oh, I don't want Wasteland 2 to be scientifically accurate or realistic, because that would ruin such an off the wall game,' we're not doing that at all. ... We know that the game would be pretty boring if it had to be 100 percent realistic. We're trying to add some science facts on to their fiction just to give it a bit more grounding in reality. If you happen to identify with some of the actual science, you enjoy it that much more. If you don't, that's fine, you're still going to enjoy the game."

6.111 home → Labkit home → CC1010 Radio
CC1010 Radioby Denis Daly
The ChipCon 1010 radio is a commercial radio that you can use for your 6.111 project. We can provide you with a ChipCon 1010 development kit. Each development kit contains two radios that can be used to transmit and receive data wirelessly. The kit contains one CC1010EB evaluation board, two CC1010EM Evaluation Modules, two antennas, and a CD containing a free evaluation version of Keil uVision2 ID and SmartRF Studio Software. The evaluation board can be used to program the radios and to allow for easy testing. Once programmed, the two CC1010EM evaluation modules can operate independent from the evaluation board.
CC1010 evaluation module mounted on evaluation board
Radio Specifications
The radio operates in the 900 MHz ISM band and can communicate up to 76.8 kbps. The radio operates off a 2.7V to 3.6V power supply. The power consumption is sufficiently low that it can be powered by batteries.
The CC1010 has an integrated 8051 microcontroller that can be programmed in C. Libraries are available that make it easy to transmit and receive data. The radio can be controlled through an SPI digital serial interface. The CC1010 also includes a 10-bit ADC.
For more information, please refer to the CC1010 documentation on ChipCon's webpage.
Programming the CC1010
To load code onto the CC1010 microcontroller, you must first write and compile C code in Keil uVision. The CD that is included with each kit contains a limited version of Keil uVision that will work for small programs. You should leverage the CC1010 libraries: they include code to easily transmit and receive data. They also allow you to control the radio through the UART as long as the evaluation module is on the evaluation board. We are working to set-up a lab machine with the full version of Keil uVision.
Once the C code has been compiled, you need to program the radio through your computer's parallel port. The necessary parallel cable is included in the CC1010 kit. The ChipCon In-Circuit Flash Programmer program should be used to program your radio. It can be downloaded from ChipCon's website
Operating the CC1010
The CC1010 radio is located on the CC1010EM evaluation module. The evaluation module does not need to be connected to the evaluation board for the radio to function. However, if the evaluation module is not connected to the board, it is more difficult to interface with the radio. You will need to get a connector from us and solder wires to it.
Debugging Tips
The CC1010 radios are very reliable. If they aren't behaving as you expect, try running one of the examples included on the CD. Here are a few other tips:

Amherst MA (SPX) Apr 06, 2013
Geoscientist Michele Cooke and colleagues at the University of Massachusetts Amherst take an uncommon, "Earth is lazy" approach to modeling fault development in the crust that is providing new insights into how faults grow. In particular, they study irregularities along strike-slip faults, the active zones where plates slip past each other such as at the San Andreas Fault of southern California.
Until now there has been a great deal of uncertainty among geologists about the factors that govern how new faults grow in regions where one plate slides past or over another around a bend, says Cooke. In their study published in an early online edition of the Journal of Structural Geology, she and colleagues offer the first systematic exploration of fault evolution around fault bends based on modeling in a clay box.
Testing ideas about how the Earth's crust behaves in real time is impossible because actions unfold over many thousands of years, and success in reconstructing events after the fact is limited. A good analog for laboratory experiments has been a goal for decades. "Geologists don't agree on how the earth's crust handles restraining bends along faults. There's just a lack of evidence. When researchers go out in the field to measure faults, they can't always tell which one came first, for example," Cooke says.
Unlike most geoscience researchers, she takes a mechanical efficiency approach to study dynamic fault systems' effectiveness at transforming input energy into force and movement. For example, a straight fault is more efficient at accommodating strain than a bumpy fault. For this reason Cooke is very interested in how the efficiency of fault bends evolves with increasing deformation.
Her data suggest that at restraining bends, the crust behaves in accord with "work minimization" principles, an idea she dubs the "Lazy Earth" hypothesis. "Our approach offers some of the first system-type evidence of how faults evolve around restraining bends," she says.
Further, Cooke's UMass Amherst lab is one of only a handful worldwide to use a relatively new modeling technique that uses kaolin clay rather than sand to better understand the behavior of Earth's crust.
For these experiments, she and colleagues Mariel Schottenfeld and Steve Buchanan, both undergraduates at the time, used a clay box or tray loaded with kaolin, also known as china clay, prepared very carefully so its viscosity scales to that of the earth's crust. When scaled properly, data from clay experiments conducted over several hours in a table-top device are useful in modeling restraining bend evolution over thousands of years and at the scale of tens of kilometers.
Cooke says sand doesn't remember faults the way kaolin can. In an experiment of a bend in a fault, sand will just keep forming new faults. But clay will remember an old fault until it's so inefficient at accommodating the slip that a new fault will eventually form in a manner much more similar to what geologists see on the ground.
Another innovation Cooke and colleagues use is a laser scan to map the clay's deformation over time and to collect quantitative data about the system's efficiency. "It's a different approach than the conventional one," Cooke acknowledges. "I think about fault evolution in terms of work and efficiency. With this experiment we now have compelling evidence from the clay box experiment that the development of new faults increases the efficiency of the system. There is good evidence to support the belief that faults grow to improve efficiency in the Earth's crust as well. "
"We're moving toward much more precision within laboratory experiments," she adds. "This whole field is revolutionized in past six years. It's an exciting time to be doing this sort of modeling. Our paper demonstrates the mastery we now can have over this method."
The observation that a fault's active zone can shift location significantly over 10,000 years is very revealing, Cooke says, and has important implications for understanding seismic hazards. The more geologists understand fault development, the better they may be able to predict earthquake hazards and understand Earth's evolution, she points out.

Winter in August in Airdrie, unbelievable hail storm. Get in doors quick. http://t.co/YUJ8Ld4gol
Peter Brown (@MayorPeterBrown) August 07, 2014
Hail damaged homes and cars near Airdrie, Alta., while something called a "gustnado" appears to have touched down on the outskirts of Calgary.
The nasty storm hit Thursday afternoon and evening, bringing with it hail as big as golf balls and a fair bit of rain.
Airdrie Mayor Peter Brown has never seen anything like it. In a Twitter post, he warned his constituents about the "unbelievable hail storm" that made it seem like "winter in August."
"It came out of nowhere," he said, adding that he counted about 16 dings in his car's windshield from the hail.
Golf-ball sized hail rained down on the city for about 15 minutes, damaging cars, gardens and siding just before 5 p.m.
The amount of rain also overwhelmed the city's storm sewers.

Pictures posted to Twitter showed streets covered in so much hail it looked like a winter scene.
In Calgary, a police officer reported seeing what he thought was a tornado touching down but quickly dissipating.
However, Environment Canada says it was in actuality a spiral of high wind, or "gustnado."
No damage was reported from the phenomenon.
Environment Canada meteorologist Chris Wielki said storms stretched from Rocky Mountain House down toward Airdrie on Thursday afternoon.
He said there were reports of golf-ball sized hail in Red Deer and southwest of Rocky Mountain House.
Airdrie resident Jolene Valencia said the storm came on quickly and lasted much longer than normal.
"Our typical storms are sudden but very short-lived," she said. "Nothing like today."

By day, he is a mild-mannered medical insurance broker, making calls from his home office behind his house or visiting area doctors.
But by night, Danielsville resident Jacob Wienges can be found sawing, chiseling and sanding chunks of scrap wood into whimsical wooden toys. He creates gnomes and forest folk, boats with cotton sails and even large castles, treehouses and barns.
While the toymaking is a recent endeavor, woodworking is not; Wienges has been crafting wooden flutes for years and even toured up and down the West Coast of the United States and Canada playing them. After meeting his wife in Canada, starting a family and moving back to the Athens area, he realized his passion for working with wood was calling again.
This time, though, instead of crafting professional-quality flutes, he looked to his family for inspiration and realized his three boys could have a lot of fun playing with wooden toys. But there was one problem.
"All my tools stayed behind," Wienges said of the move he and his family made from British Columbia, Canada, to their farm in Danielsville. So, he began the process of collecting the tools he would need for a proper wood shop.
Because he found the tools individually, rather than buying them all at once at a store, each one came with its own story. He pointed to a wood-framed bandsaw he purchased for $100.
"It belonged to a fireman who had the only barn in Queens (New York)," Wienges said. "It was a kit; he made it."
The firefighter had passed the saw on to his grandson, who had such fond memories of working on it with his grandfather that he couldn't bear to part with it - and held on to it for 25 years.
When he decided to sell it, he asked Wienges what he planned to use it for.
"I said, 'I'm making toys,' " he said. "He got all choked up, because that's what his grandfather made. Even the tools have their stories."
After more than two years of planning and stocking the shop, Wienges began making his unique style of toys in August. He's sold his creations mainly by word of mouth and at an occasional artist market during the holidays, and soon plans to have a website up for online sales, too (www.farmandforest toys.com).
All of his wood is locally sourced - his neighbor, a retired woodworker for Athens-Clarke County, lives next door and cuts his own timber from his backyard. Wienges happily takes his scraps.
Other toys, though, require wood that doesn't grow locally. Wienges' boats, for example, are made from western red cedar. A pile of salvaged wood sits near the woodshed, found at a construction site on the West Coast and shipped to Wienges rather than get scrapped.
Otherwise, Wienges said he makes every effort to keep his materials local and free of dyes or artificial colorants. Even the sealants he uses are food-grade oil.
"If something is going to come from the West Coast, it would have to be surplus," he said.
Even the scrap pieces turn into little creations, he said. Some become pebbles for gnome paths, others become odd-shaped blocks. Bins below Wienges' work bench hold the pieces waiting to be carved, again, into something new.
And if it's too small to beamed into a pathway or a block? "The final use - it goes in our wood stove," he said.
Sandy Cederbaum, an Athens resident who owns the web-based business A Small Green Footprint (www.asmall greenfootprint.com), said that's one of the reasons she decided to sell Wienges' toys in her shop.
"My goal is to find something as local as possible to reduce the carbon footprint of shopping," Cederbaum said. "He made those sailboats, and I asked him about (the source of) the sails. ... The next thing I knew, he said 'OK, I can make the organic sails for you.'
"He custom-tailors it to what you feel is important."
Wienges' toys manage to be whimsical and functional at the same time. What makes them unique is that they have just enough detail to give a child a sense of what they are - but not too much. This is partly inspired by his own children, Wienges said, because he noticed they enjoyed playing with toys that weren't perfect plastic creations.
"We've always been attracted to beautiful wood toys," he said. "We home-school and do a Waldorf-based curriculum, which is based on playing and tactile, natural detail and is more open-ended."
The toys he creates, he said, try to follow through on that idea. the result is soft lines that follow the grain of the wood, little figures that can be either a princess or a knight, or a treehouse that can be a castle as much as it can be a house in the clouds.
"They are very figurative - that speaks to me artistically," he said. "I'm drawn to the toys as art - that's what I see."
That's a sentiment shared by longtime friend and recent customer, Melissa Dowd. She remembers when Wienges made flutes, and now that they all have children, she said, she's similarly enchanted by his toys.
"I have a nativity scene he made for Christmas for us this year, and a treehouse and some gnomes and forest people," Dowd said. "The nativity was wonderful because I've never had something my daughter could play with. I really liked the idea of having something handmade, something local."
Wienges' nativity sets follow the same style as his toys, with simple lines and soft wood.
And there's another element in Wienges' toys that makes them special, Dowd said: A sense of magic.
"They are very magical," she said. "He has a way of weaving the magic into the work. And that's kind of how they are - they have this farm, he and his wife are very magical thinkers; they bring that into their family life, teach their children to look at things in different ways. And when he's building things, they go into his work."
Wienges said he is planning some new characters to join his gnomes, cars and wooden houses, including knights and other characters from myths and history. These are all part of the storylines that run through childhood, he said.
Although now that his toymaking business is off the ground, his next hurdle is dividing time between his home-based job and his passion - and both are nestled in the tidy wooden workshop behind the farmhouse.
"I'd love for this to be a cottage livelihood," he said. "I had been moving toward the toys for years, and being able to pry myself away from the paper shuffling."
Until he can make the switch from insurance broker to full-time wood crafter, Wienges said the saws and chisels will continue to serve as a creative hobby. And it's OK that he's not mass-producing any toys, but rather carving them out one by one.
"Because it's nearly as much art as craft, I'll always have a healthy dose of discovery," he said. "So yeah, I'll only be 50 percent efficient - the rest is where the magic lies."

Subject: HUDDLESTON Family
Date: Sun, 3 Jul 2005 16:50:18 +0100
I have just joined this list in the hope that I may get clues as to the
descendants of my gg-grandfather's brother James HUDDLESTON.
I have been working with Bernie Clarke on this and below is what we
know/surmise now.
Any clues would be welcome - even better if there is a descendant who
can fill in gaps.
I am in UK (English Lake District) but will be visiting Ontario in
September and hope to see areas of family interest - and relations if
any are found by then.
The Family of James HUDDLESTON (in Canada)
James HUDDLESTON (born 6 Nov 1814 in Winchester, England and died [per
will] before 21 May 1851) married, in 1838 at Grace Anglican Church
Brantford, Emma COE. James was living in Willoughby Twp
(It is possible that she was daughter of John COE. Emma died after 1847
[birth of child] and before Jamess will 24th January 1851 but her
mother was alive at that time)
James had arrived in Upper Canada in 1834 (on Hannibal from
Portsmouth, England departed 21st Sep arrived New York 23rd Oct) and
settled near his brother Frederick (who had a farm at Chippewa, but left
Canada in 1842). Fred bought Elliotts Farm for James at 425 guineas
possibly in 1835
They had six children (see later for details)
Emma Coe HUDDLESTON
Fanny Louisa Denman HUDDLESTON
Elizabeth Ursula HUDDLESTON
Caroline Eleanor Gauntlett HUDDLESTON
John Croft HUDDLESTON
Rose Brabigan HUDDLESTON
WILL & CODICIL of James HUDDLESTON
James will (24 Jan 1851) and codicil (25 Jan 1851) were made at
Saltfleet Township in Wentworth County in the Province of Canada with
other bequests he left guardianship of his children to Lousia LEWIS. He
also mentions Eleanor COE (it is not clear whether this is his mother in
law or another COE). His wife is not mentioned so we must assume that
she had died earlier.
From website Ancestors of Clarence Lewis we know that Louisa Lewis was
the second wife 1849 of Daniel LEWIS (b 17 Jan 1790 at Grimsby Twp,
Lincoln Co and d 18 Feb 1864 at Wentworth). Louisa was born 1815 in
In the 1851 Census (taken January 1852) at Saltfleet Twp, Wentworth Co were:
Daniel 61, Lousia 34, and Lewis children 18, 16, 14, 10, 8, a Mrs
BRABIGAN 28 widow born Ontario, the six HUDDLESTON children 13, 12, 10,
8, 4, 6 (except Elizabeth Ursula appears to have become Clarissa) plus
Ann EDISON 18, John BOLAND 28 & Eardley NORTON 30 (1 male and 1 female
were absent at census time)
The next household contained:
John COE 70 widower
David LESLIE 50
Ellen COE 30
John BRADFORD 20
In the 1861 Census at Saltfleet Twp, Wentworth Co were:
Daniel LEWIS 71
Louisa LEWIS 44
John HUDDLESTON 15
Caraline HUDDLESTON 16
Rose HUDDLESTON 12
Clarissa LEWIS 16
And next door
Howard HALES 34
Emma HALES 21 (?Emma HUDDLESTON)
Emma HALES 4
John JOBAT?? 5
Ira LEWIS 16
William GENNINGS? 14
1871 St Andrews Ward Toronto West
Louisa LEWIS 54 widow born England occ- boarding house
Fanny NIBLOE 27 widow
Caroline MILNE 35 widow occ- boarding house
Rose HUDDLESTONE 20
Emma HEALES 13
George MILNE 2
John McCANE 25 born Ireland occ-clerk
James ROBERTSON 25 born Scotland occ-clerk
1881 St Patricks Ward, Toronto, York
Louisa LEWIS wid 69 b England
Emma LEWIS 20 b Ontario Music Teacher
Were Louisa LEWIS & Mrs BRABIGAN sisters of Emma COE Jamess wife?
This could account for the use of their names in the HUDDLESTON family
and the guardianship.
At the time of his death James HUDDLESTON had no one of his own family
in Canada, other than his children.
We either know or can surmise these details of James & Emma HUDDLESTONs
(order per will and later births per 1851/1861 Censuses)
Emma Coe HUDDLESTON
born Saltfleet 15 Jul1839, bap 20 Sep 1839 Holy Trinity Anglican Church,
possibly married Howard HALES or Heales before 1861 census or before
1857 if Emma HALES 4 in 1871 is her daughter
Fanny Louisa Denman HUDDLESTON
born Saltfleet 19 Oct1840, ? bap 16 Jul 1842,
possibly married in 1861 [per Brantford*] to Andrew or Ancker NIBLOE.
She was a widow by 1871 and remarried 17 June 1871, in Toronto, Hugh B A
WILLOUGHBY aged 23. He was born Canada occ-gentleman, son of George
Edmund & Mary WILLOUGHBY (who may have married in 1845 in York Co; in
1871 Mary may have been a widow in York Twp). The witnesses were James
ROBERTSON and Rose Brabigan HUDDLESTON
Elizabeth Ursula HUDDLESTON
born Saltfleet 16 Jul 1842, bap 14 Aug 1842 Holy Trinity Anglican Church,
married 1859 William ARMSTRONG of Toronto son of John ARMSTRONG (per
Wentworth Co marriage index 1858-1869)
Caroline Eleanor Gauntlett HUDDLESTON
born Saltfleet 1844/1845
possibly married 1868 per Brantford*
possibly to Mr MILNE who died between 1868 & 1871 leaving her with a son
George born 1869
John Croft HUDDLESTON
born Saltfleet 1848/1846
possibly married 1867 per Brantford*
Rose Brabigan HUDDLESTON
born Saltfleet 1846/1849
Not married by 1871 Census but then living in St Andrews Ward, Toronto West
* per Brantford means that there is a reference in A History of
Brantford 1867-1967 by Goerge Oliver that could be this event. BUT see

ROME Corn on your table or in your tank?
The merits of increasing biofuel production in the middle of a crisis over skyrocketing food prices was hotly debated at a United Nations summit ending Thursday, but the top U.S. delegate and U.N. officials say a consensus had been reached.
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Ed Schafer said that "biofuel language has been agreed upon" as delegates worked on a final declaration at the gathering of world leaders, U.N. food agencies, development banks and business representatives.
Speaking on the sidelines of the three-day summit at the Rome-based U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, Schafer said that the language used in the document was "acceptable."
A draft of the declaration circulated ahead of the final discussions appeared to seek a balance on biofuels after much of the discussion at the summit was driven by the debate over the role of the energy source in raising food prices.
The draft said it was "essential" to address the "challenges and opportunities" posed by biofuels, adding that "in-depth studies are necessary to ensure that production and use of biofuels is sustainable."
FAO spokesman Nick Parsons indicated on Thursday that the compromise on the biofuel language was holding.
Experts at the U.N. agency said countries need to move on from the lengthy debate on how much impact biofuels have on food prices because wide differences in methods and time frames make it nearly impossible to reach a shared conclusion.
"There are huge discrepancies," said Andreas von Brandt, a bioenergy official at FAO. "There may be no real answers."
What's important is for the international community to develop standards that limit the impact of biofuels on scarce land and water resources, so that they don't compete with food crops," von Brandt said.
Von Brandt added that each country should choose the biofuel crops that are most suited to its needs and climate.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon at a summit news conference called for guidelines on biofuel production.
The United States and Brazil, two growing biofuel-makers, differ over which food makes for better fuel -- corn, sugar, seed oil, plant matter are among the possibilities -- and few agreed on how the biofuel craze impacts growing world hunger.
Discussion of whether to scale back or push ahead with the introduction of biofuels -- used to reduce the use of petroleum-based products and believed to be less polluting -- and which crops are better suited to produce the fuel weighs on attempts to come up with a global strategy to solve the crisis.
Most countries and international organizations meeting at the FAO cite a combination of causes for the price hikes: rising energy costs, more demand for meat and dairy products from some booming developing countries, trade restrictions, speculation as well as the increased demand for biofuels.
Early in the summit, Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva praised his own country's long-standing approach of making ethanol from sugar cane and criticized corn-based ethanol, which is being subsidized in the United States.
The United States insist biofuels have a small, 2-3 percent impact on this year's price hikes, but other nations believe the effect is more serious when looking at single crops.
While biofuels have little or no impact on the price increases of rice and wheat, they contribute strongly to the hikes of maize and seed oil, which is used in Europe to make biodiesel, said Jonathan Lingham, an agriculture expert with the British delegation.
"If you are poor and you eat maize, then you have a problem," he said. "We need a more cautious approach. Biofuels are not the silver bullet we were hoping for."
Despite the debate on the extent of the impact of biofuel on food security, participants in the summit agree that it is a factor and measures must be taken, said Hafez Ghanem, FAO assistant director general.
"If you put three economists in a room you'll get four different theories on the role of biofuels, but we all agree that they have an effect," Ghanem said at a briefing for reporters.
"The world has enough resources and the right technology to produce enough crops to meet the demand for food and biofuel," he said.
Another big grain producer is Canada, which said Wednesday it is aiming to achieve a biofuel use goal that is the environmental equivalent of "taking 1 million cars off the road while 95 percent of Canadian cropland will continue to produce safe, healthy food."

Concerning his books, Mortenson continues to insist they are truthful accounts, despite ample evidence to the contrary.
He did not answer immediately, for he had to be judicious and not truthful.
There may be much of what is fallible and human with what is truthful and divine.
The extreme care they took that their statements should be truthful is shown by the manner in which they compiled their books.

Scientists hunting for genetic links to attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder say a mutation on an immune system gene may be tied to the behavior problem.
But some medical and mental health professionals warn parents about jumping to any conclusions.
"This is a really interesting academic discussion at this point but it is far too premature for families to have real excitement about any immediate impact for their own child," says Dr. Tanya R. Anderson, chief of the clinical service system with the Illinois Department of Human Services Division of Mental Health.
According to the research, published in the January issue of the journal, Molecular Psychology, the identified gene can be found in about 1 out of every 4 people and is disproportionately common in kids with ADHD. Researchers have found that while children diagnosed with ADHD are hyperactive, they don't necessarily have attention deficit disorder and may be prescribed medication inappropriately.
Much more study is needed, Anderson says.
"Remember this is all still very theoretical. There is no blood test or genetic examination that anyone can do to identify who has or will get ADHD," Anderson warns.

Worst Dressed of the Day
Mariah was on TRL to premiere her latest video for Say Something. I don't care if she is showing off her new skinny body, she should not be wearing this crap. The skirt is so short and the jean jacket/top is just plain ridiculous. Does she think anyone is even looking at her midriff when her boobs are practically on display. Can someone please hire this woman a stylist and tell her she is not a teenager? Even when she is looking her best she manages to screw it up. Such a shame.
Lots more so

1. Flexible case designs. Retail PCs come with desktop cases that are more alluring than ever, thanks to sculpted lines, shorter heights, and built-in conveniences like memory card readers and HDMI ports. Few PC users need eight drive bays and six PCI slots today anyway, except for niche applications. But these cases have precious little room to fit an extra video card; you can skip those 10.5-inch-long, dual-height GPUs. That's to say nothing of poor airflow, andin a few casesno free drive bays at all. Go with a proper Antec, Cooler Master, or other respected vendor, and you'll never have a problem.
2. Stronger power supplies. Forget overclocking; some of the 250- and 300-watt PSUs that come with box store PCs can't even power a regular video card, unless it's a super low-end model like AMD's ATI Radeon HD 5570. Even if the wattage is there, an extra six-pin PCIe connector might not be. A low-end card would certainly help, but with the prices of 23-inch LCD monitors now below $200, you'll want to play games in higher resolutionswhich you'll have no problem doing with an aftermarket power supply and the right video card.
3. Proper versions of retail motherboards. It's usually tough to figure out what motherboard is inside a retail PC before you buy it. But even if the board is from a respected vendor like MSI or Asus, there's a good chance it's a special, low-end version made specifically for the box-store PC vendor. That makes it a royal pain to find additional drivers and support for it down the roadand makes you dependent on the PC vendor. Go with a retail motherboard that's designed to stand alone, and you'll avoid these problems entirely.
4. Quality parts you choose yourself. A retail PC may carry a storied brand logo on the front panel. And if you bought an Intel or AMD PC, you can probably count on that actual CPU being inside. But who makes the parts in the rest of the machine? Often, the vendor's support team won't know, either. That's because from week to week, a manufacturer may switch OEM suppliers for the memory chips, hard drive, optical drive, and other componentsall to get the best deal for that batch of machines. Choose your own partswith our help, of courseand you'll always know what you're getting.

Victorian thoroughbred and Ciaron Maher-trained gelding, Moudre, chases $100,000 stakes if he can win Zipping Classic on Saturday at Sportingbet Park in Sandown Hill. This is after Melbourne Racing Club attached the bonus for any horse that ran in the Caulfield Cup and the won the Zipping Classic race, according to a report from Racing Network.
Moudre is number 25 in the order of entry into the Melbourne cup when it kicked off last week and it finished 14th in the Caulfield Cup. He also finished 8th in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes on Saturday behind Puissance De Lune. While it hasn't won a race since the start of this year's Melbourne Cup, the $100,000 stakes may just be awarded to him.
There are only two horses that meet the criteria among 14 nominations. The other one is My Quest For Peace, which finished fifth behind Dunaden in Caulfield Cup. While it is eligible to receive the bonus tied to the Zipping Classic, he might just miss the race as he is preparing for next month's Hong Kong Vase at Sha Tin.
Nominations for Zipping Classic with stakes of $350,000 ended on Tuesday, November 13th.

Music Review: The Black Keys - "The Big Come Up"
Published 10:00 pm, Sunday, June 9, 2013
After the huge success of Brothers and El Camino, it's hard to believe that The Black Keys' debut album was recorded in the drummer's basement.
On The Big Come Up (2002), Dan Auerbach's vocals are as raw as those of Little Richard and Bo Diddley. His lyrics are heavier than Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti," mourning over the loss of a girl in eight of the 13 songs. They're typical blues rock lyrics ("Well, my heart goes out to you in your time of need/But you cause me pain most every time you breathe"), but they're certainly welcome in a time where blues rock isn't the most popular genre. Like Auerbach's vocals, his guitar work is gritty with few impressive flourishes. He doesn't hammer out power chords or spend 10 seconds proving his skill. Instead, he uses his guitar as a supplement to his vocals, sort of as the overdubbed harmony that the mediocre recording devices can't maintain.
Patrick Carney doesn't match his partner's choice of genre, but he does complement it with another historically black style. Rather than settling for the simple beats and heavy toms of '50s rock and roll, Carney throws in the tang-te-tang cymbals characteristic of jazz. Sometimes he even tosses in a snare to mimic a '90s New York hip hop feel, especially in "Breaks" and "240 Years Before Your Time," which include spoken samples that further contribute to the hip hop feel. Carney's balance of cool snare and popping hi-hat maintains through the next six albums, as the rhythm in "Do The Rump" reappears in Brothers' "Tighten Up."
The Big Come Up is Jimi Hendrix in the 21st century. It's "Twist and Shout" before it was a Beatles favorite, "Hound Dog" before Elvis wiggled his butt to it. It's rock with a heavy soul, without the motivation of money or the desire for accessibility. That's a characteristic of the pop industry that, unfortunately, wound its way into the Black Keys' most recent album.

A blog reader brought up the suggestion of bringing a fire extinguisher, which prompted me to bring up the topic of safety equipment and what of that variety we will be bringing. I doubt the 1910 expedition had much in the way of safety equipment, but my health and safety training and policies at work have guided me as to what to bring, etc. Patty and I have been just recertified in Standard First Aid and we are there the entire trip. We bought a $130.00 large and fully stocked first aid kit so are good there. May bring a stretcher just in case, but I do know how to make one out of a single length of rope if need be. We will have a cell phone in case we have to call for help. Patty may also be setting up a Skype account. Also will have a "turbo stick" which will click into my laptop so we can be in touch with you, the reader through this blog, and emergency services if need be. Fire extinguisher?- you bet, we got a 20 pound ABC one, shiny and red- cost $140.00. The expedition rowboat and scow all have bailing devices, floating life rings, floating rope, whistles, etc as required by nautical law. We have life jackets for everyone and will use them when we are floating down the river or rowing across. Patty and I also recently took a boating operators/safety course and are certified. We will have lots of pails and all the river water we need if we have to fight a fire, or putting out campfires on shore. I did have a concern about chopping lots of wood for the stove (and the enhanced risk doing that), but we now know it does not need that much and sticks the diameter of your forearm are all that are required and these are easily procured and can be broken carefully underfoot (I will have steel-soled and toed workboots) into the required lengths, or cut with a hand saw. We are also bringing some basic medicines such as Aspirin, Tylenol, Immodium, etc. Also bringing bug spray, sun block, etc. Now we have to deal with West Nile Virus (not an issue in 1910), so all our tents, though designed to look 1910-15 style, will all have mosquito netting doors and windows. Hantavirus is another possibility, but we will have a few mousetraps on board and will regularly monitor the scow for White-Footed Deer Mice and respond accordingly (I also have training in Hantavirus exposure/response). Do the blog followers have any other thoughts or ideas regarding health and safety for the trip? I think I have everything covered, but any other ideas are welcome.
A June 17th postscript: We will also have a radio with continuously updated weather broadcasts. It also has a setting which will automatically turn the radio on if a weather alert bulletin is issued by Environment Canada. This radio was tested recently in the field and was very useful for fieldwork planning and, in one case, receiving a detailed weather alert in advance of a storm front we would otherwise have known nothing about.

Something for rattlesnake bites?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 16, 2010 at 1:23 PM
I shall look into this, though rattlesnakes would be on the last week of our trip and within Dinosaur Provincial Park (DPP) boundaries and their emergency infrastructure. I have worked in DPP nearly every summer since 1979 and we have yet to have had a rattlesnake bite emergency. The snakes are always pretty good at letting you know they are there and to avoid them. There has only been one rattlesnake bite on a paleotological fieldworker and that was in the Milk River badlands in 1976. Darren Tanke.ReplyDelete

A BROMSGROVE pet store is joining a national animal charity in urging local animal rescues and welfare organisations to nominate themselves to receive financial support.
Since being established in 2006, Support Adoption For Pets has helped over 920 rehoming centres and animal welfare organisations across the UK by awarding grants and running fundraising campaigns with Pets at Home.
The charity, along with store colleagues at the Bromsgrove Pets at Home store, is calling on local animal charities, rescue centres and welfare organisations to nominate themselves to join the charity partnership scheme.
The scheme offers support from both Support Adoption For Pets and local Pets at Home stores through a range of activities, including the chance to increase awareness and funds via in-store 'meet and greet' events and also eligibility to be nominated and take part in the national fundraising drives run by Support Adoption For Pets during the year.
Amy Wilson, charity manager at Support Adoption For Pets, said: "Over the last eight years the financial support we provide to local rehoming centres has grown significantly. In 2013 alone we raised more than £2.1 million, which went on to help an amazing number of animal welfare causes.
"Now we're looking to help even more local deserving causes across the country through our charity partnership scheme. Not only does it give causes the chance to participate in our fundraising drives throughout the year, it also provides the organisation with advice and support from the knowledgable colleagues in our team. "
To become part of the charity partnerships scheme email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Lovely framed poster
from Glasgow
This is a rather stunning print in a nice frame. However, I specifically ordered the same framed print but minus the lettering at the top. This has meant I have a slightly larger piece for the same price, so in that sense I shouldn't complain, and it wasn't worth the hassle of returning the picture. Indeed the one I ordered no longer seems to be available anyway (at least not in the silver frame option), but I'd taken time to choose the cropped version of the print and it would have been nice to have been notified of the substitution before despatch. That way, I could have opted for one of the many other variations of this particular poster instead. Not receiving what I ordered, after much deliberation on exactly what to buy, has spoiled my enjoyment to some extent but the fact remains it's a framed lovely poster.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- President Barack Obama was clinging to a narrow lead over Republican Mitt Romney on Tuesday in Ohio, a pivotal battleground state in their nail-bitingly close president race.
With about two-thirds of the vote reported, Obama led by some 87,000 votes in unofficial results. There were many precinct totals still to come from some key areas of the state, including Democrat-rich Cuyahoga and Lucas counties in northern Ohio and Republican stronghold counties in southwest Ohio and a major swing area in and around Cincinnati.
Obama was trying to carry Ohio a second time, creating a firewall against Romney's effort to unseat him. Both sides poured major time and money into the state, adding campaign visits in the final days and even hours before the polls closed Tuesday evening.
Voters sampled in exit polls said the economy was the leading issue, but they split on which candidate would be better to improve it.
Voters voiced support for the Obama-backed auto industry bailout, while Romney showed support among those saying they wanted a strong leader who shared their values. Obama appeared to be dominating the college-age vote, as he did across the state in 2008. Romney led among 65-and-older voters surveyed, and appeared to be doing better with those nearing retirement than John McCain had in '08.
Turning out their base supporters and running up the score in their strongest areas loomed as crucial for both candidates.
Obama looked to Democratic strongholds in northeast Ohio and the state's biggest cities. His Republican challenger hoped for blowout results in southwest Ohio and the state's suburbs and rural areas.
No Republican has won the White House without Ohio. The last president elected despite losing Ohio was Democrat John F. Kennedy in 1960, and the last sitting president to lose Ohio was George H.W. Bush in 1992 to Democrat Bill Clinton.
Throughout the year, Ohio was site of much of the advertising spending by the campaigns and outside supporters and was among the most-visited states by the campaigns. Obama officially kicked off his re-election campaign with a May 5 rally at Ohio State University, and Romney campaigned in nearly every corner of the state.
Obama touted the auto bailout and said his policies were helping Ohio recover. Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, pointed to more Ohioans on food stamps and jobs lost to China in saying he would help strengthen Ohio's economy. His appeal was complicated by the state's recent progress, including an unemployment rate that was lower than the nation's.
Both sides touted major ground games to reach voters, with the Romney campaign way ahead of the 2008 John McCain campaign in making voter contacts. The Obama campaign increased its sizable 2008 presence in Ohio with more field offices.
Late summer polls showed Obama starting to open a gap in Ohio, but his lackluster performance in the first debate helped revitalize the Romney effort.
While Romney passed over native son Sen. Rob Portman as his vice presidential choice, Portman chaired the Romney campaign in Ohio and was active as a surrogate. Ryan highlighted his own Ohio ties as a Miami University alumnus.
Obama's campaign got help from former Gov. Ted Strickland and surrogates including space hero and former Ohio Sen. John Glenn and Clinton, who twice carried Ohio.
The two sides had tried to lure undecided voters with late campaign rallies featuring music stars: Bruce Springsteen, Jay-Z and Stevie Wonder for Obama; Kid Rock, the Marshall Tucker Band and Rodney Atkins for Romney.

Remember Greg Schiano's message after last week's Buccaneers-Giants kneel-down controversy that got him an earful from Tom Coughlin?
Schiano basically told all of us who thought it was bush league to go (bleep) ourselves.
"I don't know if that's not something that's done in the National Football League," Schiano said after that game. "What I do with our football team is we fight until they tell us game over. And there's nothing dirty about it. There's nothing illegal about it. If people watched Rutgers, they would know that's what we do at the end of a game."
We thought Schiano might change his mind on this. We were wrong.
Turns out Schiano was completely serious the first time, because the situation presented itself again during Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Cowboys. When Tony Romo lined up the Cowboys offense in victory formation for a kneel-down, the Buccaneers again fired out of their stances -- twice.
Unlike last week in New York, there was no squabbling this time. Dallas must have been expecting it and took everything in stride.
But, seriously, what is Schiano's deal? This is taking the old adage of playing hard until the whistle blows a little too literally. While we fully endorse one marching to the beat of his own drum mostly, we draw the line at meaningless contact. And since we anticipate Tampa Bay being in this situation quite a few times this year, hopefully Schiano reconsiders his approach.
(Side note: Jerry Jones, we thought you hated kneel-downs?)
