Nov 20: University Innovation Symposium
UAEM University Innovation Symposium
November 20, 2010 from 8:30 A.M. until 6:30 P.M.
Symposium Location:
American University, Washington College of Law, Room 603
4801 Massachusetts Ave., NW Washington, DC 20016
PIJIP and Universities Allied for Essential Medicines cohosted this symposium for NGO representatives, university professors and administrators, and policy makers focused on strategies to increase research on neglected diseases and innovative policies for universities to contribute most effectively to the medicines innovation system. Topics included intellectual property protection, licensing, and alternate models of funding.
Universities are increasingly integrated into the pharmaceutical innovation system. Institutions such as Yale and the University of British Columbia, for instance, now have their own high through-put screening facilities, traditionally controlled only by industry, which allow them to do rapid tests of thousands of molecules in their compound libraries to screen for potential new drug targets. Yale has taken this a step further by purchasing a facility from pharmaceutical company Bayer in order to quicken the pace and scope of its biomedical research capabilities.
Universities are also engaging increasingly with product development partnerships product development partnerships (PDPs) such as DNDi to aid them in finding cures for diseases of the poor. Combined with the trend toward open access publishing standards for academic papers at many schools, universities are well placed to accelerate the ability of researchers to find life-saving discoveries.
In order to address and further explore these possibilities, UAEM is holding a symposium on the role of universities as non-profit institutions in the medicine innovation system, particularly related to their role in finding cures for neglected diseases as well as open-source research methods.
The meeting will bring together product development partnerships (PDPs), university administrators, researchers, industry actors, technology transfer officials, funding institutions and students to explore the role of universities in the broader innovation system and directions for university policy to best improve both innovation and access to medicines.
We hope you can join us as we gather in Washington, D.C., on November 20, 2010 from 8:30 A.M to 6:30 P.M.
Please continue to check back at this site for the most updated information regarding the conference. We look forward to seeing you in November.

Well cleaned out my CGK and examined it.
Empty ashes each cook but haven't cleaned in 6 months, looked especiallyl at fire grate , porceloin coated inner sleeve , inner wall & gaskets.
Holding up way better than expected
Fire grate good shape, as best I can tell no cracks in sleeve & no rust , gaskets & wall in great shape!
I've replaced 1 gasket ( grease fire ) some of the cheap screws were rusting but a spray of Pam fixed.
I replaced some nuts that were loosening with lock nuts. Otherwise in great shape!
The wood shelves show some wear but should have 2-3 years left.
This years model is $289 @ Kroger , they did improve the air intake with a gasket this year.
I posted a question on the Kamodo guru forum , probably a 1000 CGK owners on it & only positive remarks for how holding up.

One more post from last weekends river trip. We were sitting around Saturday, TX/OU game had just started and I got out all the stuff to make some Turtle Eggs. Well, as I'm making them, Mrs. O said something along the lines of "We should put some chorizo in them!!" Sounded like a good idea to me. Then she said "We could call them Huevos de Tortugas" Spanish for turtle eggs for all you folks that took French instead of Spanish back in school.
We didn't measure it out, but Mrs. O fried up some chorizo (she says San Miguel is the best, so get that one if you can) and we mixed it in with the regular turtle egg stuffing.
Mrs. G made these a little bigger than normal. They went on the Mini at 350 with some cherry wood for smoke
Didn't time them as we were watching the game and partaking of cold beverages, just peaked at them from time to time. Almost done.
Pulled them when they reached 160F
Everybody thought these were really good, better than turtle eggs. The chorizo added an extra kick of flavor, a little more punch. I think the filling turned out orange because of the grease in the chorizo. Man were these tasty. I'm not sure Mrs. G will let me make normal turtle eggs again.
I wonder what some Italian sausage would taste like on the inside.....

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/3/2013 (1623 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My girlfriend and I broke up a year and four months ago. We had lived together and were deeply in love. Unfortunately, she and I also got into steaming fights, really about nothing -- tempers flared, and at some point, she could no longer continue, despite our love. It was a horrible time for me, and I found myself texting her and emailing her just to feel normal. After a year of on-and-off electronic communications, I decided to stop. I didn't want to bother her with my pleas, and thought I would regret forever being a burden to her. By the middle of January this year, I met a girl who I started to hang out with. We got along and had some good laughs, but deep inside I knew I still wanted my ex. On Valentine's Day, my ex texted me a question: "Are you dating someone?" As I had been out with this new girl only four times, I felt, and honestly, that we were not dating. My ex told me she had feelings for me still, and had hoped that things could be the same as before. I immediately told the new girl that I couldn't do it, that my heart was with someone else. My ex is so confused with what's happening, she now believes we can't make it work. The new girl kissed me and the ex knows it. I made a YouTube playlist for the new girl to check out, and the ex knows it, and believes it was a love playlist. I love my former girlfriend, and just don't understand why we can't (her words) work things out. -- Missing My Sweetheart, Winnipeg
Dear Missing: Either your ex is overly jealous, or you tell her so much detail that it becomes painful for her to be around you -- even after dating some other girl for only four dates. Why did she have to know about the song playlist or even know about the kiss? What you should have said to your ex was, "If you are asking me if I would like to forsake all others and begin again with you, the answer is yes." A kiss with someone else, after your ex left you begging, is nothing. She sounds like a very jealous woman. Are you sure you want to now go hat in hand again, begging for another chance? Look at the power dynamic here. She came after you, but quickly turned the tables. When she asked if you were dating, your answer should have been "Nobody serious." Period. Why did you fight so much before? It sounds like both of you are so insecure you need to do some work on yourselves with professional help, so you can change the losing equation which is still Insecure Woman + Insecure man Extreme Jealousy.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I am in love with a fat woman. She is so fat she is going to die young. I try to tell her that but she won't listen. She says this is "hassling" is about the shape of her body. It is not! It's about the condition of her heart and other organs. I'm afraid I will lose her to Death. I have become the cook and only make her healthy meals, but she stashes doughnuts and cookies and candies and just get fatter and fatter. Please help. -- Watching Her Die, Winnipeg
Dear Watching: You might get further with her if you asked her to talk to you about the reason she needs all this junk food. What emptiness is she trying to fill? Obviously YOU love her unconditionally, but that might not make up for the people in her family or past who didn't. Maybe she is still suffering from bullying and name-calling at school. Maybe she feels she doesn't have work that is fulfilling. Get at these issues with her and try and get her to go for help. Offer to go with her. Don't ignore the problem but take a new approach with a gentle voice -- lots of conversations that look at the hurts and fears and memories that make her want to comfort herself with treats.
Questions or comments? Please email email@example.com or send letters c/o Miss Lonelyhearts, 1355 Mountain Ave. Winnipeg R2X 3B6

Arms Trade Treaty: Opening Statement by Ambassador Ranau
Statement by Ambassador Ranau, Head of German Delegation, at the Opening Session of the Final Conference on an Arms Trade Treaty
"Mr. President,
My delegation joins others in congratulating you to the election as the President of this conference. Be assured that we will fully support your work to successfully conclude this Conference with a strong and robust Arms Trade Treaty.
Let me briefly outline why we are participating with high hopes in this final conference and why we believe that only a strong and robust Arms Trade Treaty can be an acceptable outcome of our joint efforts.
Firstly, the absence of international standards for trade in conventional arms has negative and far-reaching consequences.
Many countries operate only rudimentary arms export control systems or have no such systems at all. As a result, there is a flourishing market in illicit weapons, especially for small arms and light weapons, which tend to end up wherever conflicts are under way. These arms – and particularly small arms and light weapons – as well as the ammunition that is needed for such arms are used to commit serious human rights violations on a massive scale or violations of International Humanitarian Law. The appalling plight of the civilian population and the huge number of people killed in civil wars send a message that cannot be ignored: the international community must act to bring these weapons under better control.
In this context a treaty to regulate the international arms trade that is universally agreed and also effectively implemented on the ground can help prevent armed conflicts as well as curb transnational organized crime and terrorism. In the long term, moreover, the chances of curbing the illicit market for weapons of all types and limiting irresponsible arms trade will improve as well. Curbing illicit transfers which will eventually flow from a better regulation of legal arms transfers is in our own security interest.
Secondly we have already achieved a substantial degree of convergence during the negotiations last July – some would say a surprisingly high level of convergence. However countries continue to hold differing and sometimes controversial views on the scope of the treaty, the criteria for issuing export licences and the modalities of implementation by the future States Parties. Nevertheless, there appears to be sufficient common ground to find agreement. This is reflected inter alia by the overwhelming majority in the UN General Assembly which supported the resolution that makes the outcome of the last ATT Conference, the 26 July 2012 Draft Treaty, the basis for our negotiations in March 2013.
Therefore we will inter alia focus on the following points:
- Firstly, an Arms Trade Treaty will only deliver added value if it requires countries to examine the potential consequences of arms transfers on the basis of a set of clear and ambitious criteria laying down the highest possible common standards. My delegation will therefore seek substantive improvements to Article 3 paragraph 3 and Article 4 paragraphs 1, 5 and 6.
- Secondly, an Arms Trade Treaty must be as comprehensive as possible, in terms of both the goods and activities covered and the countries that sign up to it. Therefore Germany believes it imperative to include ammunition, parts and components and technology in the scope. An ATT that fails to address the inherent risk of diversion in transfers of conventional arms, including ammunition, is falling short of our ambition. In terms of activities, we believe that all kinds of transfers should be covered by an ATT. In our opinion this fact should be clarified in Article 2.
- Thirdly, only an Arms Trade Treaty, which enjoys broad support, is signed up to by as many States as possible and becomes legally binding and will thus acquire the legitimacy it needs. To be effective, however, the treaty must impose clear obligations without leaving unjustified loopholes. One of these loopholes, the current Article 5 paragraph 2 urgently needs an amendment to give clear priority to sound and systematic export controls as provided for by the treaty. The ATT should not be superseded by existing forms of bilateral agreements, in particular defence cooperation agreements.
- Fourthly, an ATT will only be fully operative if there is a true transparency reporting provision. Therefore, reports about aggregated export licenses granted need to be made available to the public.
- Finally, my delegation believes that more needs to done about end-use assurances, to effectively prevent diversion at all stages of a weapon's life cycle. So far the treaty is mentioning the risk of diversion but remains silent about the well-established practical measures to prevent diversion, including proper end-use controls. There seems to be an agreement from all sides of the spectrum of opinions that this issue needs further elaboration. We will contribute to finding solutions that can effectively address this issue.
With these objectives firmly set, we will work – as set forth by UN-GA-Resolution 67/234 that gives the mandate to this Conference - on the basis of the draft Arms Trade Treaty as of July 26th 2012. This draft, with a number of important amendments, captures the essence of what we believe an ATT could look like. I hope that forthcoming drafts will both preserve this essence and introduce the right and relevant amendments that are needed to secure a strong and robust Arms Trade Treaty.
Mr. President,
We believe that an Arms Trade Treaty can only be a first step in the right direction and needs a careful follow up once it has been agreed upon. We stand ready to assist countries in setting up or improving their respective control systems. Once we have been successful here in New York experts from future States Parties will need to cooperate with each other to implement an ATT at national level in the best and most appropriate way. Germany has already made available funds for these purposes, for example for two seminars in Windhuk and Abuja as well as in Addis Abeba, and will continue to do so.
Mr. President,
Implementing an ATT will also need the experience, resources and collective political will of regional integration organizations. We therefore strongly believe that such organizations need to have a role and be allowed to become parties to this treaty. Despite few objections, we noted that there is broad support for this initiative. Germany is a part of the European Union. This Union has been entrusted with true competences in areas relevant to the trade in arms. Like other regional integration organizations the EU should be able to fully participate in the future life of this treaty. The EU has contributed a lot to this process and to enhancing the effectiveness of arms export controls in general. And it is well placed to do so in the future for the benefit of all future States Parties to the ATT. The EU is a preferred partner of many countries in the enhancement of arms export controls.
Mr. President, In sum, the challenge at this negotiation will be to agree upon a universally valid and binding document that strikes a balance between the general principles of free trade, countries' multifaceted security needs as well as the need for responsibility in the international arms trade. We are confident that with your able leadership and if a spirit of good cooperation and compromise prevails in this Conference we have a realistic chance to strike the right balance and reach the goal that we set out for in the UN-GA of 2006, a strong and robust Arms trade Treaty. The millions of people suffering from the consequences of unregulated trade in conventional arms place their hopes on us. My delegation is willing to continue to show its full engagement for this process. We should work together to seize the historic opportunity and make this Conference a success!"

Pixel Bender audio processing sample code
I've been doing some playing around with processing audio using Pixel Bender in Flash and I realized that it was hard to find some working code to get started with. So i wrote up this sample. I tried to do a minimal app that actually did something interesting and would be a start for someone else. To that end, this AIR app sample loads an MP3 file and then the embedded Pixel Bender kernel lets you change the level of the individual channels separately.
The MXML code is below:
All the action is in the ProcessAudio function, that pulls samples from the input file and executes a ShaderJob across them. There is something important to reference here:
effectShader.data["source"].width = BUFFER_SIZE / 1024; effectShader.data["source"].height = 512; effectShader.data["source"].input = shaderBuffer; effectShader.data["volume"].value = [ leftSlider.value, righttSlider.value ]; var effectJob:ShaderJob = new ShaderJob( effectShader, event.data, BUFFER_SIZE / 1024, 512 ); effectJob.start(true);
I pass the buffer into the shader job as a 2D buffer instead of a buffer with a height of one. This may make less sense logically, but the Flash player breaks the data up by rows for multi-threading, so this should make that perform faster.
Here is the kernel:
One thing to notice here is that rather than using an image2 as input and a pixel2 as output (which may make more sense logically again), I instead just use the buffer layout and process 2 stereo samples at the same time. This should also give you better performance for filters that can do this.
Here are the files:
For more info, the following references might be helpful

- Flash Magazine wrote up a great tutorial on using Pixel Bender for number crunching which got me thinking about doing this sample

A COMMEMORATIVE memorial dedicated to those from the town who gave their lives in both world wars is coming to life.
The Watchet Remembrance Project Group visited Wells Cathedral Stonemasons last week to see how the memorial is getting along. They were given an insight into the processes taking place to let the group bring the memorial home to Watchet.
Sara Summers, WRPG archivist said: "They are doing a fantastic job and the stonemasons are so talented, the detail they are adding is truly amazing.
"We owe them a debt of gratitude for the quality of work they are producing and for bringing our visions alive.
"This unique memorial will be one off."
The initial drawing of the memorial, by Roxy Towells is now being transformed into the sculpture.
Sara added: "The whole group could not contain our excitement when we saw the magnificent works the Stonemasons are doing.
"We are sure that all of the people who have donated to the WRPG will be pleased with the memorial when they see the finished article.
"We will be issuing updates for everyone to keep the community in touch with the memorial's progress."
The Memorial will be unveiled at a special Unveiling and Dedication Day on June 28 this year.
The 56 names of the fallen will feature on the stone, and will, be commemorated together for the first time.
Local youth groups and children who helped towards the design will present some of their poems and songs.
Family members of the fallen will be able to lay wreaths after a special ceremony taking place on the day.
Anyone who is interested in the unveiling day or who would like to help is invited to attend the update meeting at the Methodist Schoolroom in Watchet on March 4 at 7.30pm.

20 Games Like Valis II(TBA)
Sonic Mania
"It's the ultimate Sonic celebration! Sonic returns in a new 2D platforming high speed adventure, and he's not alone!
Developed in collaboration between SEGA, Christian Whitehead, Headcannon, and PagodaWest Games, experience new zones and remixed classic levels with Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles!"
Super Mario World
Super Mario World (known in Japan as Super Mario World: Super Mario Bros. 4) is a side-scrolling platformer developed by Nintendo EAD and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System on November 21, 1990 (in Japan), August 31, 1991 (in North America), and April 11, 1992 (in Europe).
One of the launch titles of the SNES (and bundled with early systems in North America), Super Mario World is the fifth main game in the Super Mario series. (starring Nintendo's mascot, Mario, and his brother, Luigi). The game follows both Mario brothers as they explore Dinosaur Land (known for its large amount of dinosaurs) to find and defeat the evil Koopa king Bowser (and his seven underlings, the Koopalings) while rescuing Princess Toadstool.
Along with new abilities (such as the "Spin Jump"), a new power-up (the "Cape Feather") and more obstacles, the game introduces dinosaur companions (known as Yoshi) that Mario and Luigi can ride. Yoshi, known for using their long tongues to snare and eat enemies, have become a fan-favorite among the series (giving them their own games and spin-offs, most notably this game's prequel).
Special bundles of the SNES in 1994 included a compilation cartridge mixing Super Mario World with Super Mario All-Stars. The only difference in this version is a new sprite set for Luigi. The original game was later ported to the Game Boy Advance on February 11, 2002 as Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2. Along with a special version of the original Mario Bros., the port includes a variety of differences, including Luigi as a selectable character (who now has unique features, such as his floating jump from Super Mario Bros. 2), new voice acting, and the ability to save anywhere. The original game was also digitally re-released in Nintendo's Virtual Console platform for the Wii (on February 5, 2007) and Wii U (on April 26, 2013).

Monster Hunter: World
Monster Hunter: World sees players take on the role of a hunter that completes various quests to hunt and slay monsters within a lively living and breathing eco-system full of predators…. and prey. In the video you can see some of the creatures you can expect to come across within the New World, the newly discovered continent where Monster Hunter: World is set, including the Great Jagras which has the ability to swallow its prey whole and one of the Monster Hunter series favourites, Rathalos.
Players are able to utilise survival tools such as the slinger and Scoutfly to aid them in their hunt. By using these skills to their advantage hunters can lure monsters into traps and even pit them against each other in an epic fierce battle. Can our hunter successfully survive the fight and slay the Anjanath? He'll need to select his weapon choice carefully from 14 different weapon classes and think strategically about how to take the giant foe down. Don't forget to pack the camouflaging ghillie suit!
The Darwin Project
The Darwin Project takes place in a dystopian post-apocalyptic landscape in the Northern Canadian Rockies. As preparation for an impending Ice Age, a new project, half science experiment half live-entertainment, is launched. It's called "The Darwin Project" and it challenges participants to survive the cold and fight to the death in a treacherous arena. The Darwin Project offers a competitive multiplayer third person survival experience featuring at its core a new gameplay innovation: the manhunt. In his or her path to victory, a player must survive extreme environmental conditions, track opponents, and set traps in order to win.
Super Mario Odyssey
The game has Mario leaving the Mushroom Kingdom to reach an unknown open world-like setting, like Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine.
Mega Man & Bass
The story of Mega Man & Bass varies slightly depending on which player character is chosen. It begins when a robot villain named King breaks into Dr. Wily's laboratory and then the Robot Museum to collect the data blueprints for the creations of Dr. Light. Dr. Light alerts the hero Mega Man that he must go at once to the Robot Museum to confront this new enemy. Meanwhile, Bass (Mega Man's rival and Wily's greatest creation) hears of the new criminal's appearance and decides to prove himself the stronger robot by defeating King. Proto Man is the first to arrive at the scene. King divulges his plan to him; he desires to create a utopia in which robots rule the world over humans. To accomplish this, King seeks to create an unstoppable army using the data and invites Proto Man to join him. Proto Man refuses and attempts to attack, but King counters and slices his body in half. Proto Man then teleports back to the lab for repairs while King escapes with the data. With their own motivations, Mega Man and Bass set out to put a stop to King's plans.
After vanquishing eight powerful robots under allegiance to King, the duo infiltrates his castle and engages him in combat. Proto Man interrupts the fight and again attempts to defeat their new nemesis. Putting all of his remaining energy into a blast, Proto Man manages to destroy King's shield and loses consciousness, allowing Mega Man and Bass to best King in battle afterwards. King questions why they fight so hard for humans when robots are the superior species. The pair explains that humans are the ones who created robots in the first place, which confuses King. The villain reveals that his creator is Dr. Wily, who then appears on a video monitor. When King asks the evil inventor why robots fight each other for the sake of humans, Wily strengthens his "brainwashing level" and restores his power. Mega Man and Bass engage King in another battle and defeat him. The castle begins a self-destruct sequence and the protagonists escape without King.
Mega and Bass begin a final confrontation with Dr. Wily in his newly-regained laboratory. When Wily is beaten, Bass demands to know why he deceived him. Wily explains that he created King simply to test Bass' abilities because of his past failures in challenging Mega Man. Wily shows him written plans for making a newer version of King to join with Bass in this venture, promising that the two would be invincible together. Proto Man appears and immediately destroys these plans. Proto Man tells Bass that although he is a strong robot of free will, he can never defeat his rival because he has nothing for which to fight. Mega Man returns home where his sister Roll presents him a letter from King. King wishes to atone for his own crimes against humans and hopes for them to be friends if they were meet in the future.

Splatoon 2
Splatoon 2 is a multiplayer third-person shooter in which players control characters known as Inklings and use colored ink to attack opponents and clear goals. Inklings can alternate between humanoid form, during which they can fire ink with their weapons, and squid form, which allows them to swim through ink of their own color in order to move quickly and replenish ink supplies.
Spongebob Squarepants: Battle For Bikini Bottom
Players control SpongeBob, Patrick and Sandy (except in the GBA and PC version, where in the GBA version, players controls SpongeBob only. In the PC version you can play as SpongeBob in various parts of Bikini Bottom.) Players also battle robot bosses such as Sandy, Plankton, Squidward, Patrick, and SpongeBob (Though you can only battle Robot Squidward in the GBA version). Players can also switch between characters at bus stops throughout the game. Core gameplay involves collecting items and defeating the robots which have attacked Bikini Bottom, whilst crossing platforms and avoiding environmental hazards like spikes and flames. A number of mini-games are also accessible throughout the game, like Whack-A-Tiki, The Rolling Ball, Ske-Ball, The Funnel Machines, or Cruise Bubble Challenge.
The core gameplay resembles other 3D platformers like Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie, requiring players to collect three main types of items. Shiny objects are the game's currency, and can be used to pay tolls within game areas or to buy golden spatulas from Mr. Krabs. Golden spatulas are used to grant access to new areas, they are hidden throughout the game and can also be earned by completing tasks set by Squidward and several other characters from the cartoon. Patrick's socks are spread throughout the game and are traded with him for golden spatulas (only if you bring 10 of his socks).
Props are also included in the game. Trampolines help the player bounce to farther ledges or platforms. Buttons activate special appearances. Pressure Pads are like buttons, but they are big metal squares with feet. Sandy can swing from Texas hooks. SpongeBob can dive downward on a bungee hook. Patrick can pick up and throw a watermelon, freeze fruit, or fire fruit at any object. Fire Fruits are not that common in the game. They debuted a cameo when the big balls shot out of the volcanoes in Jellyfish Caves.
Though some areas can be navigated by any character, several sections can only be completed with a specific character, due to each one having unique abilities. SpongeBob can create a bubble helmet for head-butting enemies. Patrick can throw objects at buttons, robots, and freeze liquids. Sandy can glide over large gaps with her lasso.

Watermelon is kind of a fruit that provides the increasing water and glucose requirement of the body during the summer months. From its homeland, the tropical regions of Africa, it spread throughout the Mediterranean countries by commercial ships. Today, almost 500 kinds of watermelons are grown all around the world. They are classified according to the form of their peels, seeds, color and weights.
Watermelon contains plenty amount of vitamin C and beta carotene. The high potassium content helps to regulate heart functions and blood pressure. At the same time, with its fibrous structure, it helps to regulate the intestinal activities and plays an important role preventing the intestinal cancer. The material in the watermelon seeds called cucurbocitrin helps to decrease the blood pressure and regulate the kidney functions. It has a special and an important place in summer diets because it does not contain any cholesterol and has low calorie. A sweat and juicy watermelon is the most delicious refresher of the hot summer months. It plays an important role in our nutrition with its water and vitamin content.
The apple tree from the rose family is a fruitful and a durable tree. Apple that grows in warm climates has almost 25 different kinds. You save your heart and circulatory system by eating one or two apples a day. Apple removes cholesterol and prevents constipation. It facilitates digestion by means of protein, vitamins and natural chemicals and decreases the blood pressure. At the same time, its scent has a comforting characteristic. Apple, known as useful against the arthritis, rheumatism and gout disorders is considered as the aspirin of the fruits. It has a quite high food value as well as its nice scent and refreshing characteristic.
Give the good news to those who believe and do right actions that they will have Gardens with rivers flowing under them. When they are given fruit there as provision, they will say, 'This is what we were given before.' But they were only given a simulation of it. They will have there spouses of perfect purity and will remain there timelessly, for ever. (2:25)

Hannity Teases His "Very Heavy" Role In 2012 Election
Blog ››› ››› KEVIN ZIEBER
Discussing the 2012 presidential election, Sean Hannity is promising that his "involvement is going to be very heavy next year." If past programming is any indication, it will be a boon for the GOP.
While Hannity refused to go into detail about his plans, he has allowed his show to be used as a free and open forum for Republican candidates in the past. In 2010, Hannity allowed Republican Sharron Angle to appeal directly to his Fox News audience for campaign contributions while running for a Senate seat in Nevada. Hannity's role in using his forums to help Republicans running for office has become so transparent that Republican Christine O'Donnell reportedly told a group of GOP strategists, "I've got Sean Hannity in my back pocket, and I can go on his show and raise money by attacking you guys."
Hannity's programming "involvement" in the 2008 presidential election consisted of leading what he called the "Stop Hillary Express." The "Stop Hillary Express" later became the "Stop Obama Express," when Barack Obama became the Democratic nominee.
Hannity's involvement in the 2012 election to date has already included a segment on his Fox News show brazenly dubbed the "Hannity Primary."
One can only imagine what 2012 has in store for the GOP's man inside Fox.

BOGOTA: Women's Link Worldwide, Monica Roa, (57) 1346 4179, (57) 310 850 8752 , email@example.com; Center for Human Trafficking, Angela Ospina (57) 1287 8611, (57) 1 310 249 5386
U.S. and Colombian NGOs bring attention to the imminent increase in sex tourism and sex trafficking in Cartagena and pattern of commercial sexual exploitation by security sector personnel
New York, NY - Today, women's rights groups Equality Now and Women's Link Worldwide, as well as the Center for Human Trafficking, wrote to President Barack Obama, President Juan Manuel Santos of Columbia and Secretary General José Miguel Insulza of the Organization of American States (OAS), calling for an investigation into the possible pattern of commercial sexual exploitation, including sex trafficking of women, that has come to light following the recent U.S. Secret Service and military personnel scandal in Cartagena, Colombia. The letters also call for an immediate response to the exacerbation of sex tourism in the region that has been spurred by the scandal and for the strengthening of regional commitments to combat the issue.
As highlighted in the 2011 U.S. government Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report, "Colombia is a major source country for women and girls subjected to sex trafficking in Latin America, the Caribbean, Western Europe, Asia and North America." It further states that many of the women and girls "trafficked within Colombia end up in coastal cities, such as Cartagena and Barranquilla, which have become popular destinations for foreign sex tourists from the United States and Europe." To date, 12 U.S. Secret Service agents and 12 U.S. military service members have been implicated in the possible commercial sexual exploitation of more than 20 women in Cartagena ahead of President Obama's visit to the Summit of the Americas on April 14-15.
Despite strides taken by the U.S. government to address sex trafficking – including the passage of 2000 Trafficking in Victims Act and the Department of Defense's zero-tolerance policy - the actions of the Secret Service and military personnel reveal the persistence of a culture within the security and military sectors that allows for the commercial sexual exploitation and trafficking of women and girls. Colombia's Caracol Radio station broadcasted a report on April 17 about a travel agency in the United States that claims that U.S. Secret Service agents and military personnel had contacted them to explore the availability of sex tours to Cartagena.1 It therefore appears that Secret Service agents and military personnel were allegedly aware of and may have partaken in sex tourism and sex trafficking, which is prohibited under U.S. federal law.
"The U.S. government investigation must go beyond symbolic demotions or dismissals of the men involved and address the possible broader sex tourism and sex trafficking crimes. It must dismantle and prevent networks that profit from the abuse of women and girls. And, it must allocate sufficient resources to make real its commitment to end human trafficking and uphold gender equality in Colombia, around the world and at home," stated Tzili Mor, New York Office Director of Equality Now."
The current focus on the personal misconduct of a few during the Summit ignores the broader issue of an alleged pattern of involvement in sex tourism, sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation by U.S. security personnel and U.S. nationals. Monica Roa, Program Director at Women's Link in Colombia, laments, "It is regrettable that neither the authorities nor the media of both countries have asked questions like 'does the secret service know the possible existence of international networks that profit from sexual exploitation of women in Cartagena?' or 'are these women victims of internal trafficking or some type of sexual exploitation?"
The Secret Service, which operates under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, is not governed by an explicit policy prohibiting commercial sexual exploitation. This scandal clearly demonstrates the need for a consistent, uniform, and enforceable legal standard around commercial sexual exploitation and sex trafficking that covers the conduct of all government employees and contractors, military and civilian. The current patchwork of policy and laws that governs some, but not all, government agencies and defense contractors sends a mixed signal about U.S. commitment to ending the scourge of sex trafficking and its violations of women's and girls' rights to non-discrimination, health, dignity, and freedom from violence and degrading treatment.

Dieting for Disposition
- Jul 1, 2011
- Topics:
Q: Is it possible to feed a horse with the goal of improving his behavior?
Shannon, via e-mail
A: The answer to this question obviously depends on the horse's current diet and work, as well as what behavior you want to improve. But, for sure, the short and general answer is yes. Diet and feeding schedule, exercise, and style of human handling are likely the three most important factors in horses' behavioral health. When evaluating a specific behavior problem or when advising clients on maintaining their horses' behavioral and physical health, equine behavior specialists put a lot of thought into diet--not only what owners are feeding, but also the feeding schedule. Diet and feeding schedule are particularly important when it comes the most common vices: cribbing and other stereotypies, wood chewing, hyperactivity, or other problems associated with a "hot temperament" or tendency for anxious "meltdowns."
Some of the current recommendations concerning effects of diet and feeding schedule on behavior are based on research, but most are based on experience and anecdotal evidence. This is one topic that could certainly benefit from more research, using well-designed studies in which the behavior evaluations are done by a researcher who is blinded to each horse's diet and feeding schedule.
Providing your horse free access to forage (grass or hay) is important for both behavior and health. The horse's digestive system has evolved to accommodate near-continuous ingestion of calorie-sparse roughage. In natural settings, which are in my opinion the gold standard of health and normal behavior, the stomach is probably never empty nor full. Gastric ulcers and their associated problematic behavior changes in these scenarios are probably quite rare.
In general, horses that can be maintained in reasonably good condition on mostly grass and grass hay seem to have the fewest behavior problems and also seem to have the most relaxed and easiest dispositions. This type of diet is closest to that for which the equine digestive system evolved to handle. Grazing species foraging under natural environmental conditions move as they forage continuously. In contrast, horses in stalls or paddocks with hay bunks are likely stationary while feeding. For horses fed in stalls, divide hay into small amounts placed at multiple locations around a stall. Most horses when eating will move from pile to pile in a style of "take a couple bites, take a couple steps," that resembles natural movement during grazing. It may take a few days for this "stall grazing" behavior to emerge, but for most horses it does. It is my impression from watching 24/7 videos of horses in stalls fed in one place versus being fed so that they "stall graze" that their behavior pattern appears more normal and relaxed. They take considerably more footsteps per 24 hours when "stall grazing," and they do so in a normally relaxed manner similar to horses grazing naturally.
For horses in heavy training or work that require more energy than can be provided with forage alone, feeding calories from oils (fat) rather than carbohydrates has been shown to result in fewer undesirable behavioral and physical health effects. Many of the currently marketed feed formulations have higher percentages of fat than the traditional sweet feeds. These higher fat formulations are recommended for preventing and alleviating behavior problems such as hyperactivity, stereotypies, "hot" or "anxious" temperament, and so forth.
Food urgency and food-related aggression are particular behavior problems that result from feeding infrequent highly palatable, calorie-dense grain meals. A fair percentage of horses will become food urgent to the point of becoming anxious, hyperactive, and/or aggressive at grain feeding time or whenever they anticipate a grain meal. They may develop a stereotypy such as weaving, tongue lollying, or pawing associated with feeding times. They may guard their feed tub or that area of the stall and paddock, or even the person who feeds them. Food-urgent horses in turnout can be dangerously aggressive toward pasturemates. When in a stall they can be aggressive toward caretakers at feeding time, sometimes lunging toward the feed tub or feed scoop, or even turning butt and double barrel kicking to knock the feed bucket out of your hands. For such horses, an all-forage diet usually eliminates the problem.
Finally, nutritional supplements, often marketed specifically for behavioral health, are a very interesting yet frustrating topic for horse owners and managers as well as for equine nutrition and behavior specialists. As is the case for nutritional supplements for humans, so many are available, but for most there is little to none, or widely conflicting, research evidence of their efficacy. In many instances, while it is assumed that feed supplements are safe, there often is no research addressing their safety.

Google, owner of the world's largest search engine, reported higher profit as advertisers boosted spending to reach consumers during the holiday shopping season.
Fourth-quarter profit, excluding certain items, rose to $US10.65 a share, Google said in a statement.
Google gained from growing demand for its advertising as retailers poured money into online advertising and extended the season for buying gifts. Total spending in the US e-commerce industry jumped 14 per cent during the last two months of 2012 as retailers began promoting Web-only deals earlier, according to ComScore Inc.
"The holiday shopping season was longer and stronger than most expected," said Scott Kessler, analyst at S&P Capital IQ, said in an interview. "Google benefited because retailers frequently make use of online advertising as a way to communicate with existing and would-be customers."
Shares of Mountain View, California-based Google rose in late trading, after earlier slipping less than 1 per cent to $US702.87 at the close in New York.
The average amount advertisers paid each time a user clicks on a promotion decreased 6 per cent, following a 15 per cent decline in the previous period. The number of overall clicks advanced 24 per cent, after a 33 per cent decline in the third quarter.
Google acquired the unit as part of its $US12.4 billion purchase of smartphone-maker Motorola Mobility Holdings last year. In August, Google said it would cut 4,000 Motorola jobs and close about a third of its 90 facilities. Arris Group Inc. agreed to buy the Motorola Home unit for $US2.35 billion in December.
Handset Focus
With the cutbacks, Motorola now can focus on its handset business, which uses Google's Android operating system to run the smartphones. Android, which is provided for free to manufacturers, has become a key part of the company's push into mobile, giving Google access to user data around the world. Android snared 72 per cent of the global smartphone market in the third quarter, according to Gartner Inc.
The company also has built a large leadership position in search, its core business. Google grabbed 67 per cent of the market in the US in December, according to ComScore Inc. That compares to 16 per cent for Microsoft Corp. and 12 per cent for Yahoo! Inc.
Despite its huge lead, Google could come under pressure from Facebook Inc., owner of the world's largest social- networking service. Last week, Facebook announced a new search tool that lets users discover people, photos, places and interests on the service.
When fully rolled out, the feature could give Web users an incentive to use Google less. Facebook also has a partnership with Microsoft's Bing search engine, which will deliver additional results from the Web when Graph Search doesn't deliver clear answers to queries.

CONVICTED criminal Tony Ramsden has resigned the chairmanship of his local Federation of Small Businesses after a Daily Echo report.
His appointment – months after he had been sent to jail and described as a "liability in business" – had provoked outrage.
Several members had told the Echo they could not remain with the federation as long as Mr Ramsden remained chairman of its Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch branch.
In an email to a Federation of Small Busines ses (FSB) member, honorary national secretary Dave Stallon said: "I would confirm that Anthony Ramsden has resigned as the Bournemouth branch chairman."
Mr Ramsden was jailed for 10 months last September for obtaining credit as an undisclosed bankrupt and five breaches of the Insolvency Act. Jailing him, Judge John Harrow said he was a "liability in business".
Award-winning entrepreneur Sam Acton, who runs Domestic Angels in Southbourne, had cancelled her membership of the FSB on Friday.
She said at the weekend that the episode had "undermined the credibility" of the FSB.
She added: "If somebody's going to represent small businesses, such as the FSB, then they've got to be people of the right moral standing and with the right business background."
She had quit despite having received a "fantastic service" from the FSB in the past, she said.
Harry Seccombe, owner of Chaplins and the Cellar Bar and vice-chairman of Boscombe Forum, had also been seeking to quit.
He said yesterday: "It's good that he's resigned, which is the proper thing to do, but it should never have happened in the first place.
"I'll still be asking questions about how they ended up in this position."
Former Poole councillor Don Collier, who has been a member of the FSB for many years, said he was among many members who had not paid enough attention to the election.
"I'd really like FSB members to do what I'm going to do and pay more attention.
"It's a good organisation and we shouldn't allow this piece of silliness to detract from that," he added.
"We the members are responsible.
"We are the people who let this happen.
"We can't blame anyone but ourselves and if there is an officer who dropped the ball, I feel absolutely sure the FSB nationally will deal with them in the appropriate manner."
Southbourne care home owner Geoff Rhodes, a member for many years, had said the appointment was "unbelievable" and he would not be renewing his membership while Mr Ramsden was in the post.
Mr Ramsden – whose father David is the branch secretary – was not available for comment.

Texas Launches Mandatory Boater Education, Additional Safety Measures
AUSTIN – A new state law from the recent legislative session will require mandatory boater education for more people in Texas, a move supporters say will save lives and make crowded waters safer.
According to a legislative report by the state's Advisory Panel on Boating Safety, the primary cause of boating deaths nationally is drowning, with 543 in 2009, of which 385 were not wearing lifejackets, usually in rough weather or on hazardous water.
Changes to Texas laws targeting boating safety include: mandatory boating safety education certification for anyone born on or after Sept. 1, 1993 to operate a vessel with a motor of more than 15 horsepower or a wind-blown vessel measuring more than 14 feet in length. While all boaters are encouraged to take boating safety education, those born before Sept. 1, 1993, are exempt from required certification.
Previously, only 13- to 17-year olds were required to complete a boating safety course to operate a vessel without adult supervision.
Texas' state-approved boater education course is available as a one-day, classroom training, as a home-study course or as an online course at www.boat-ed.com . The course takes about six hours to complete. Costs range from $13 for classroom course to about $25 for the home-study course. Information about boater education, including schedules of upcoming classroom courses, is available at http://tpwd.texas.gov/learning/boater_education/ .
Boaters falling under the boater education requirement will be required to carry a valid ID and documentation of having taken and passed a boater education course. Failure to meet the requirements is a Class C misdemeanor, and violators have 90 days to complete a boater education course to have the charges dismissed.
The 82nd Texas Legislature during its regular session clarified the definition of a vessel to encompass such craft as standup paddle craft, kayaks and canoes. In Texas public waters everyone onboard a vessel that measures less than 26-feet in length must have a life jacket available and kids under 13 must wear one.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/12/2012 (1722 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It's hardly a laughing matter — Ron James will not be visiting the Winnipeg Free Press News Cafe on Friday afternoon as previously reported.
The popular Canadian comedian, who is currently on tour across Western Canada, was scheduled to sit down with Free Press entertainment writer Brad Oswald at 2:30 p.m. Friday to talk about comedy, touring and life in Canadian showbiz, but a mixup in travel schedules has forced him to cancel his cafe chat.
James will perform at the Pantages Playhouse Theatre on Saturday night.

AUSTIN - A Texas appeals court tossed the criminal conviction of former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay on Thursday, saying there was insufficient evidence for a jury in 2010 to have found him guilty of illegally funneling money to Republican candidates.
The Texas 3rd Court of Appeals said prosecutors failed to prove that the money being laundered was illegally obtained, which the court said was required for a money laundering conviction. Prosecutors alleged that DeLay illegally channel $190,000 in corporate donations though his political action committee and into Texas legislative races, where corporate money is barred.
"The fundamental problem with the State's case was its failure to prove proceeds of criminal activity," the court wrote in a 2-1 decision.
Justices on the appeals court suggested that even jurors appeared confused during deliberations, based on questions they asked about whether the charge required that the money be illegally obtained in the first place.
DeLay was meeting with religious conservatives in Washington when he learned of the court's ruling.
"We were all basically on our knees praying and my lawyer calls and says, `You're a free man,"' the former Texas congressman said. "It's a really happy day for me and I just thank the Lord for carrying me through all of this."
State prosecutors said they would appeal to Texas' highest criminal court.
"Regardless of what you think about Tom and his political back story, at the end of the day, the court of appeals concluded that he did not violate the law," Brian Wice, DeLay's attorney and KPRC legal analyst, told Local 2. "Of all of the wins that I've had in a 30-year career, this was the most satisfying on a personal and professional level. For the people who somehow believe that what happened today was a legal technicality, that is stereotypical thinking at its absolute worst. And the beauty of stereotypes is that it's easier than thinking."
"We are concerned and disappointed that two judges substituted their assessment of the facts for that of 12 jurors who personally heard the testimony of over 40 witnesses over the course of several weeks and found that the evidence was sufficient and proved DeLay's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt," the Travis County District Attorney's office said in a statement.
DeLay was found guilty by a jury in Austin of money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering. Prosecutors said the money he funneled to local candidates helped Republicans take control of the Texas House, enabling them to push through a DeLay-engineered congressional redistricting plan that sent more Republicans to Congress in 2004, strengthening his political power.
Delay, whose heavy-handed style while holding the No. 2 job in the U.S. House earned him the nickname "the Hammer," was sentenced to three years in prison. His sentence had been on hold during the appeals process.
Prosecutors alleged that DeLay accepted $190,000 in corporate donations to his Texas-based political action committee, then sent that money to an arm of the Washington-based Republican National Committee. The RNC then sent the same amount of money to seven Texas House candidates in 2002. Under state law, corporate money cannot be given directly to political campaigns.
Prosecutors said Delay conspired with two associates to pull off the scheme during a three-week trial. After 19 hours of deliberations, jurors agreed.
But in a 22-page opinion, the appeals court said prosecutors "failed in its burden to prove that the funds that were delivered to the seven candidates were ever tainted." The court called the evidence "legally insufficient" to support a money laundering charge.
The lone dissent was Chief Justice Woodie Jones, the only Democrat on the six-member appeals court.
Writing for the majority opinion, Justice Melissa Goodwin wrote that the deficiency of the state's case was made clear by the confusion revealed by jurors during deliberations.
Before convicting DeLay, the jury asked whether a crime could be considered money laundering if the money wasn't illegally obtained in the first place. Goodwin said the answer is no, but rather than jurors being told that, the trial judge simply referred them back to the wording of the charges.
"The jury's questions to the trial judge ... point to the lack of evidence showing that the funds involved in the transaction were the proceeds of criminal activity," Goodwin wrote.
DeLay did not shy from the spotlight during his legal fight. He was a contestant on ABC's hit television show "Dancing with the Stars" in 2009, and he runs a consulting firm in suburban Houston.
On Thursday, Delay said the case and conviction hadn't been a burden.
"I'm not saying it was easy to go through," DeLay said. "On the other hand, if you read the ruling (it says) this is an outrageous criminalization of politics ... in the ruling they say I should have never even been charged, much less indicted."
Wice said he was confident DeLay would win again if prosecutors pursue an appeal.
