Millions spent, no one served: who is to blame for the failure of GMO Golden Rice?
Angelika Hilbeck & Hans Herren
15th August 2016The real reason why 'golden rice' remains uncultivated after a 20 year effort is its poor agronomic performance, write Angelika Hilbeck & Hans Herren. But beyond that, the very idea of golden rice as a 'solution' to Vitamin A deficiency fails to recognise the real causes of malnutrition - poverty, hunger and poor diet. How will golden rice reach poor children in the first place? And will they ever get the rich, oily diet they need to assimilate its fat-soluble nutrients? more...
Brazil's indigenous peoples fight Amazon dams threat
Helle Abelvik-Lawson
1st August 2016Brazil's new neoliberal government is intent on building a massive new dam deep in the Amazon rainforest on the on the Tapajós river, writes Helle Abelvik-Lawson, obliterating the indigenous territory of the Munduruku people in defiance of their constitutional rights. more...
Victory in the campaign against mining South Africa's Wild Coast - but it's not over yet!
Rachel Lees
21st July 2016Campaigners have forced the biggest shareholder in a titanium mining project on south Africa's 'Wild Coast' to withdraw, reports Rachel Lees. But they now fear the project itself will continue under the auspices of local 'front' companies, while the big profits enrich the British and Australian investors that are the real masters of Africa's neo-colonial minerals boom. more...
Guards shoot indigenous boy in India's 'shoot-to-kill' national park
The Ecologist
20th July 2016A 7-year old boy has been shot by park guards in Kaziranga national park, India, visited in April by Prince William and Kate, which operates a strict 'shoot first' policy. The incident highlights the government's wider efforts to evict tribal peoples from their forests in the name of conservation. more...
Controversial dam robs, poisons Canada's indigenous Innu people
Colin Samson, University of Essex
14th July 2016A new dam on indigenous lands at Muskrat Falls will join a network of other hydroelectric projects spanning Innu territories across the Labrador-Quebec peninsula, writes Colin Samson. The continual violation of Innu rights imperils their ability to enjoy healthy and sustainable lifestyles - and follows in a long tradition of indigenous land theft in North America. more...
Radioactive waste and the nuclear war on Australia's Aboriginal people
Jim Green
1st July 2016Australia's nuclear industry has a shameful history of 'radioactive racism' that dates from the British bomb tests in the 1950s, writes Jim Green. The same attitudes persist today with plans to dump over half a million tonnes of high and intermediate level nuclear waste on Aboriginal land, and open new uranium mines. But now Aboriginal peoples and traditional land owners are fighting back! more...
Abundance for everybody - 'conscious food' supports a thriving urban activist community in Bolivia
Sian Cowman
July 2016Rooted in the Andean principles of sharing, resilience and 'Vivir Bien' (Living Well), Bolivian activists in the world's highest capital city are building cooperative, grassroots alternatives to the profit-oriented economy, writes Sian Cowman. Their weekly lunch party is just the most visible way in which they are challenging the injustice of capitalism and the fragmentation it inflicts on communities. more...
Change The System - Not The Climate
Asoka Bandarage
16th June, 2016Those most affected by climate change are those least responsible and the international policy frameworks in place to protect them don't work making it a moral issue. But we must believe that the larger goals of environmental sustainability and social justice can be achieved - if we just work together writes Asoka Bandarage more...
Saving the Salween: Southeast Asia's last major undammed river
Tom Fawthorp
13th June, 2016The free-flowing Salween is the last big undammed river in Southeast Asia, home to a flurry of endangered species including tigers and clouded leopards, writes Tom Fawthrop in Hpa-an, Karen State, Myanmar. And thanks to support from both the indigenous Karen people, and senior officials in China who see the huge ecotourism potential of the river and its dramatic gorge, it could just stay that way. more...
Madagascar's 'sea nomads' are the new ocean defenders
Charlie Gardner
8th June 2016The Vezo, Madagascar's indigenous 'sea nomads', are travelling hundreds of miles to the remote 'Barren Isles', the Indian Ocean's largest locally-managed marine protected area, writes Charlie Gardner. Drawn by valuable shark fins and sea cucumbers, sold into Chinese markets, the Vezo are now joining with local fishers to protect the ecosystem and expel illegal divers. more...
The 'slow genocide' of Brazil's Guarani people must stop
Lewis Evans
3rd June 2016Land theft, agribusiness and violence pose an existential threat to Brazil's Guarani people, writes Lewis Evans. They maintain a powerful resolve to regain their historic lands, and even have the law on their side - but the tribe will need international support to prevail against murderous ranchers and farmers, corrupt politicians and a paralysed legal system. more...
Ecocide in Brazil: new laws threaten Amazon devastation
Jan Rocha
12th May 2016Amidst the turmoil of the presidential impeachment, writes Jan Rocha, right wing members of Brazil's Congress are set to pass new laws that would build new roads across the Amazon, open up indigenous reserves to industrial exploitation, and create a surge in carbon emissions from burning forests. more...

Mining, money and murder: the deadly struggle to protect South Africa's Wild Coast
Hal Rhoades
12th May 2016The pristine landscape of South Africa's Wild Coast is under threat from mining, writes Hal Rhoades, and the communities standing up to defend the land are facing deadly consequences: harassment, threats, physical assault and murder. Attacks on mine opponents have taken four lives so far and many others have been injured. But the opposition is growing and gaining international support. more...
The 'war on drugs' is a war on culture and human diversity
Benjamin Ramm
28th April 2016The 'war on drugs' is presented as a necessary battle against social evils, writes Benjamin Ramm. But from the Andes to the Caribbean, prohibition has criminalised both religious and cultural expression. And it's a war that is strictly for the global poor: people in Colorado can grow pot - so why not Colombians? more...
Securing communal land rights for Tanzania's Indigenous Peoples
Sophie Morlin-Yron
25th April 2016Commuting between land rights negotiations in the city and herding goats on the plains, Edward Loure is at once a traditional Maasai and a modern urbanite, writes Sophie Morlin-Yron. That ability to straddle the two very different worlds he inhabits has been key to his success at having 200,000 acres of land registered into village and community ownership - and his own 2016 Goldman Prize. more...
India's 'shoot on sight' conservation terrorises indigenous communities
Lewis Evans
20th April 2016The endangered Bengal Tiger and One-horned Rhino desperately need protection, writes Lewis Evans. But in India's Kaziranga National Park, 'fortress conservation' includes a brutal 'shoot on sight' policy that is terrorising local communities, many of them tribal. Indigenous peoples are the natural allies of conservation and need to be engaged in constructive solutions - not shot! more...
European companies line up to bid for Amazon megadam
Zachary Davies Boren / Greenpeace Energydesk
13th April 2016Disregarding revelations of systemic political corruption in Brazil's hydropower sector, President Dilma Rousseff is ploughing ahead with a cascade of giant dams on the mighty Tapajos river. Among the companies touting to win huge construction contracts are France's EDF and Engie, and Germany's Voith and Siemens - in a consortium led by Brazil's Electrobras, which stands accused of high-level corruption over four other dam projects. more...
Starvation in Australia: Utopia's dirty secret
John Pilger
12th April 2016Australian governments have long waged a one-sided war on the continent's Aboriginal peoples, writes John Pilger. And now a new weapon has come into play: the starvation of the most remote, culturally intact communities. It's all part of a multi-faceted program of physical and cultural annihilation. And yet the world is silent. more...
The myth of the 'brutal savage' and the mindset of conquest
Stephen Corry
21st April 2016The 'brutal savage' meme has enjoyed a resurgence in popular culture and establishment narratives, writes Stephen Corry, despite abundant evidence that it's fundamentally wrong. But it suits today's dominant mindset of conquest, conflict and colonialism all too well, and serves to justify the ongoing genocide and expropriation of surviving Indigenous Peoples today. more...
Industrial expansion threatens half of natural World Heritage Sites
The Ecologist
6th April 2016Precious World Heritage Sites that protect vital biodiversity and human cultures are at risk from oil decelopment and other industries. Under threat are not just nature, wildlife, land and water but the 11 million people who depend on the 114 sites' environmental quality for their livelihoods. more...
Ecuador's next Amazon oil battle: Indigenous Peoples on the front line
Kevin Koenig / Amazon Watch
4th April 2016The rights of nature and of indigenous communities are enshrined in Ecuador's constitution, writes Kevin Koenig. But down in the Amazon the government is going full speed ahead with oil extraction on indigenous territories whose owners are committed to keeping their forests and waters pollution-free. A mighty battle is brewing that looks certain to come to a head this year. more...
Buffalo slaughter in Yellowstone and the death of a spirit animal
Louise Willcox
5th April 2016North American buffalo are officially 'vulnerable to global extinction', writes Louise Willcox, yet the US National Parks Service and Montana are intent on their wholesale slaughter. In place of a complete ecosystem with wild-roaming buffalo and grizzly bears, wildlife managers are systematically favoring the over-abundant elk that drive the politically powerful hunting industry. more...
Africa's lions and pastoralists share the benefits of community ecotourism
Grant Hopcraft & Sara Blackburn
5th April 2016The conflict between lions and Africa's cattle herders goes back centuries, write Grant Hopcraft and Sara Blackburn - and lions have been the big losers in recent years. But where local people benefit from ecotourism, that ancient enmity can quickly be set aside. 'Community conservancies' around formal protected areas are helping both lions and indigenous communities to survive and thrive. more...
Ethiopia's vulnerable tropical forests are key to securing the future of coffee
Fiona Hesselden, University of Huddersfield
24th March 2016Coffee may be grown all around the tropics, writes Fiona Hesselden, but it originates in just one place: the 'coffee rainforests' of the Ethiopian highlands. We depend on the wild plants for new genes and varieties, yet the forests are falling fast to the advance of farmers. To preserve the forests and all their biodiversity, the original people of the forest must receive their just rewards. more...
Gustavo Castro Soto and the rigged investigation into Berta Cáceres's assassination
Beverly Bell
23rd March 2016The Government of Honduras is intent on framing the only witness to the murder of Berta Cáceres as the one guilty of the crime, writes Beverly Bell. Gustavo Castro Soto, an eco-defender from Mexico, is now in effective detention in his country's embassy in Tegucigalpa in fear of his life, having himself been injured in the attack and seen the real assassin. The US Government must break its resounding silence. more...

Stefan finds out that his soulmate has been kidnapped and seeks help from his heartless brother even though he has to apologize for a past wrongdoing.
A scene is clipped from the upcoming episode of "The Vampire Diaries", presenting Damon and Stefan discussing about Elena's kidnapping. Stefan pleads to her brother if he knows anything about Anna's plan but Damon answers that he honestly hopes that Elena dies.
"Fool Me Once" airs on Thursday, February 11 as the last chapter of the Tomb story. Executive producer Julie Plec said, "That tomb gets opened and there are vampires in that tomb. And some crazy stuff goes out of that tomb. A lot of big bad things are revealed as a result of that tomb being opened. And there's a very tragic outcome."
Meanwhile, the official synopsis goes as follow: "Stefan helps Elena and Bonnie out of a dangerous situation. Jeremy asks Anna to a party in the woods, unaware that she has her own reasons for wanting to meet him there. When Stefan, Damon and Elena work with Bonnie and Grams to open the tomb, everyone is shocked by what they discover."

- Medicare Part D
Plan Finder
- Become a Registered
Medicare Counselor
- Medicare Resources
- Medigap Plan Information
Our mission is to empower, educate, and assist Medicare-eligible individuals, their families, and caregivers through objective outreach, counseling, and training to make informed Medicare health insurance decisions that optimize access to care and benefits.
In California the Medicare Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program (HICAP), provides beneficiaries with unbiased individual assistance and advocacy related to their Medicare benefits as well as community educational opportunities.
North Bay HICAP serves the 6 counties of Lake, Mendocino, Marin, Napa, Solano, and Sonoma.
Since 1992, the national SHIP and state HICAP network have provided critical information upon which people with Medicare rely to make informed decisions about their coverage options and enrollment decisions. As roughly 10,000 people a day become eligible for Medicare, more and more people with Medicare and their families depend on HICAP.
North Bay HICAP serves as the key source of unbiased, face to face guidance concerning increasingly complicated choices regarding Medicare.
Individual Counseling Services
HICAP registered counselors provide Unbiased and Free 1-On-1 assistance in the following areas:
- Understanding Medicare benefits
- Evaluating options to supplement Medicare
- Review and appeal assistance of claim denials
- Understanding long-term care options
- Rights as a Medicare beneficiary
- Understanding Extra Help for Medication costs and other Medicare Savings Programs
- Assisting with provider communication and coordination of benefits
HICAP counselors will not:
- Charge for any service
- Sell any product
- Make any decisions for the individual
Community Educational Presentations
HICAP offers the following educational presentations at key locations in the communities we serve:
- Medicare Fundamentals – This comprehensive 2 hour seminar is for those who want a solid and detailed understanding of Medicare. It is beneficial for those new to Medicare or beneficiaries who want a detailed refresher. Attendees receive a packet of valuable reference materials and a solid foundational understanding for years to come.
- Understanding Your Medicare – This is structured for beneficiaries who already have Medicare but want to understand some of the more detailed and in depth parts of their healthcare. It's a 1.5 hour presentation with additional time allocated for questions and answers.
- Medicare Annual Changes and Choices – During the Oct.15-Dec.7 Annual Enrollment Period, we hold this presentation in many locations with the topic focused on new changes to Part D and Advantage Plans that take effect in the new year. There is a lot to understand and as a truly unbiased source, beneficiaries will learn about all their options so they can make informed decisions.
- Medicare Fraud Prevention – Trained HICAP staff serve as liaison' for Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP). This presentation provides education on the may ways we can protect our benefits and prevent fraud. When people suspect Medicare fraud, they call our office after which details are forwarded to SMP for investigation and prosecution.
HICAP was established in 1984 under the CA Department of Aging with support through the Older Americans Act and Administration for Community Living in cooperation with the Area Agency on Aging and Senior Advocacy Services.
For additional information contact our administrative office at 800-434-0222.
This project was supported with financial assistance in whole or in part, through a grant from the Administration for Community Living and the California Department of Aging in conjunction with the Area Agency on Aging in partnership with Senior Advocacy Services.

Labor Supply Decisions of Rural Low-Income Mothers
Labor force participation is crucial to the economic well-being of low-income rural families. This study identified the factors that influence two decisions that low-income rural mothers make regarding their employment: labor force entry and number of hours supplied to employment. The sample consisted of 412 rural low-income mothers who participated in a multi-state study. The logistic regression model correctly predicted 80 percent of their work participation decisions. Employed rural mothers appeared to be older, better educated, and less likely to suffer from depression compared to those not working. Additionally, they were more likely to have an employed partner, a driver's license, child care assistance, and Earned Income Tax Credit from the previous year. The estimated labor supply function explained 33 percent of the variation in hours worked by the 208 employed rural mothers. Higher wages, availability of health insurance, and overtime benefits predicted the number of hours that these employed mothers were willing to work.

Cosmetic tourism for plastic surgery is estimated to be about 30% of the Australian breast augmentation market and I find that a little bit disturbing and unfortunate. Many people are lured into the idea of a great holiday overseas and coming home refreshed and vamped up and having their plastic surgery so it's a trivial matter. All plastic surgery is real surgery and carries real risks. All patients should really consider the real importance of seeing a specialist plastic surgeon to discuss their operation, being involved with that plastic surgeon for their operation, and then the long term follow up that's involved. Many plastic surgeons in Sydney see the bad results of cosmetic surgery overseas that's gone wrong, and there's an increasing number of that as we're seeing patients more and more prepared to skimp on cost because they think it's going to be all okay. Make sure you do your research before you see your specialist plastic surgeon. A great place to start is the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons website, and that will give you a good overview of what's involved in our training, and why plastic surgeons in Australia offer really top end product, when compared to the overseas places. Another place to look at is the breast.com.au website, and that will give you a good idea of who's involved, what their services offer, and why you just need to pay more for plastic surgery in Australia than you would overseas. The most important thing for all of us is your safety. Patient safety is what drives us to offer long term follow up. I see all of my patients for a year after their operation. That's not the sort of care that you get when you fly in and fly out for a breast augmentation in Thailand.
Medical Tourism: Advice From Australia
Dr. Gavin Sandercoe discusses overseas plastic surgery and what you need to consider before traveling abroad for any operation.

This might make me seem wimpy, but sometimes my hand can really hurt after holding a book through a marathon reading session. This gadget cures that by spreading the pages open for you with minimal effort. If you love to read paperbacks, this is great to have.
If you're not 13 or illiterate, you probably need some good bookends. You know, I think the way someone stores their books says a lot about the person. I think these two little guys would be great for the job.Added 9 Years Ago from Boystomengifts

Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
As for getting the rom.zip from an ruu I've done it both on windows and linux, personally i think its a tad easier on windows. Anyway, I got it by loading up the ruu while at the same time having a folder opened up to c:\users\%usrename%\appdata\temp\
As you open up the ruu and run it, you will see a new temp folder get created in that directory, open the temp folder up and the rom.zip should/will be inside.
making unrooted nandroids? the only way you can make a nandroid is if you are rooted unless there's been something i've never heard of before haha

Adding some pop to AE with OpenGL
A lot of people I meet that are using After Effects don't necessarily take advantage of all the software that comes with it (Remember your Cycore)
The same holds true for setting up AE to take advantage of your system. Today's quick tip is about turning on OpenGL inside of After Effects.
Go to Preferences>Preview
After you enable it, it should look something like this under OpenGL info…
Finally, towards the bottom of your comp window you should click on the fast previews button and make sure OpenGL is on or set to interactive
There are times when you DON'T want to have this on, but generally, it's better to have it on than not. We'll hopefully discuss that in another post.

Unless you have been living under a rock, you know that the above image is Robert Pattinson from Twillight. Every where I turn since the build up to New Moon, I've seen images of him. He is always referred to as a hottie or a hunk. Normally, when men are given this label it usually comes along with a gratuitous ass shot. North Americans censors shy away from male frontal nudity and so we never really get to see the goodies. At any rate, I was starting to wonder why Pattinson did not have a gratuitous ass shot that goes along with his teenage fandom.
Then I saw this picture and now I understand why. The great teen heart throb is ass challenged. Now, you can roll your eyes and tell me I'm wrong for pointing it out but I must admit it made me laugh like a school girl. Even if I could get past the larger than life hair (ya know Don King is jealous), I would still need a little booty.

The 'serial vs open class' debate has been raging for well over a decade within the paragliding world. While the full impact of the change may not be discernible for some time yet, it is useful to review the history of the debate.
The 2012 CIVL Plenary determined that the year's FAI Category 1 paragliding cross country competitions will be limited to certified gliders, a decision that is unlikely to be reversed for 2013 championships. However, we need to retrace our steps back to the 1999 CIVL Plenary in Copenhagen to find the early discussions at international level on 'serial' vs 'open' class paragliders in competitions. In those days 'serial' class was DHV 2-3 or Afnor Performance.
The debate was instigated by Robbie Whittall, a past world paragliding and hang gliding champion, world record holder and test pilot (Ref: XC Magazine article). The proposal did not succeed, largely because the PWC had already decided to trial the introduction of serial class that year. And although the trial had the full support of the CIVL Paragliding Subcommittee, Delegates chose to wait and see. Ironically, CIVL Secretary back in 1999 was Robbie's father, Noel Whittall, who was himself reported to be frustrated by the indecisiveness of CIVL delegates.
Unfortunately, the PWC experiment was inconclusive. It was not popular with many pilots and consequently only lasted a year. On at least one site, it was reported, there were task setting concerns as the less performant gliders were low after they crossed the valleys. Barely 30% of pilots opted to fly serial class and were reported to be involved in more than half the incidents.
However, dating from around that period, several nations, including Britain, Germany, Italy, Japan and Spain, have at various times been successfully running serial class only or simultaneous serial/open class events.
At the 2000 CIVL Plenary, a proposal to run FAI Category 1 championships (Worlds and Continentals) as serial class only events was defeated. The subject has been raised at the CIVL Plenary virtually every year since, usually by the Nordic countries and Germany. In recent years, the EHPU (European Hang Gliding and Paragliding Union) has also recommended a move to serial class. Each year, the serial class proposals have failed, but often only just.
Safety and fairness are the primary reasons put forward by the pro-serial class lobby. Open class supporters argue that there are no statistics to prove that open class gliders are any less safe than serial class; that without an open class, manufacturers will push serial class design to the limits; and paraglider design and development will be restricted. In addition, they argued, it would be extremely difficult for competition organisers to determine whether a serial class had been modified, taking it out of certification, and creating an unfair advantage.
Its interesting to note that some European nations have taken a somewhat schizophrenic stance to the serial class debate. CIVL delegates (primarily concerned with competition issues) have voted against adopting serial class only events, while their counterparts in the EHPU (a broader based lobbying organisation) have been swayed by arguments concerning insurance and legal liability, and have supported the recommendation to CIVL to restrict Category 1 events to serial class only wings.
By the end of 2009, paraglider design was evolving radically and rapidly at the high performance end of the market. Reinforcements had started appearing in the leading edge a few years prior, but now they were becoming more substantial, initiatiating the so-called 'carbon debate' on what might constitute a 'rigid structure' thereby contravening the definition of a class 3 paraglider. Today, these inserts are a nylon composite rather than carbon and are designed into not only the highest performing paragliders. This development has allowed a reduction of the number of lines, eventually to just two spans – the 2-liner. Drag has been reduced and top speeds have increased dramatically.
The number of incidents at the 2009 Worlds in Mexico (including one fatality) ensured that safety remained high on the CIVL agenda. At the 2010 Plenary, a move to serial class was still the preferred option for some. But the PG Subcommittee, which built on the Swiss proposal to set up a working group to establish homologation criteria for a competition class paraglider, won the day. Thus the Open Class Technical Working Group, chaired by Martin Scheel, was born. The first interim stage, required manufacturers to meet certain construction limitations and minimum test requirements for 'open class' gliders. Eventually, a new EN standard and certification system for 'competition class' gliders was to be developed.
At the weather-jinxed Europeans in Abtenau in 2010, it came to light that many open class gliders were not undergoing all the basic EN 926-1 structural strength tests required by Section 7b rules, in part because the new designs had become increasingly difficult to test. With this in mind, the OCTWG began the long task of developing the interim proposal. Many further discussions and some considerable work resulted in the definition and adoption in 2011 of CIVL's 'competition class' paragliders. The rules included a revision of the tests that these gliders must undergo including the 23G line specification, the load test requirement, the basic flight tests on video, as well as written test reports outlining why this model would not pass EN-D. A primary aim was that new designs would be fully completed and tested in good time prior to a Category 1 competition, and in the hands of the pilots early enough to gain some air time before the Worlds. The systems to implement these rules were in place 'just in time' for the World Paragliding Championships in Piedrahita.
Some pilots expected that manufacturers would register their current range of 'open' class gliders under the new 'competition' class rules. Many of these designs were barely a year old and many pilots had invested in these models the previous season. But only two manufacturers, Ozone and Gin, registered their previous models (Mantra R10.2 and Boomerang 7). In general, manufacturers, (plus Ozone and Gin) decided to concentrate on launching new models prior to the Worlds in Piedrahita.
As expected, some manufacturers were working right up to (and beyond) the deadlines set by CIVL. Some pilots were late receiving their wings, and many did not have enough opportunity to fly them extensively before arriving at Piedrahita. But this was already an improvement on past events, when some pilots typically received newly designed wings on the eve of the championship and were 'tuning' them during the competition.
Nevertheless, with the shortened glider manufacturing cycle, it was clear that some pilots would be moving up to the new generation of '2-liners' sooner than they might otherwise have done. This was further compounded by the fact that the performance of the new generation of gliders exceeded the previous 3-liners, and far outstripped the best of the EN-D certified gliders, which had the performance roughly equivalent to the 2009 competition models.
Following the double fatality on Task 2 at Piedrahita, compounded by the high number of additional incidents, the CIVL Bureau made its decision to stop the competition by temporarily suspending the certification of 'competition class' gliders in FAI Category 1 events. This factor, combined with the recommendation that NACs consider the situation for competitions held in their own territories, led many NACs to immediately follow suit, banning all uncertified gliders in Cat 2 and other events in their countries. Some quoted legal liability and insurance reasons. Some merely stated that their decision was on safety grounds, pending the outcome of further investigations.
It is noteworthy that NACs did not react when CIVL's introduction of 'competition' class at the February 2011 Plenary, effectively banned 'open' class gliders from Cat 1 championships. There were no reports after the Plenary that NACs had followed suit for Cat 2s. Open class (uncertified) gliders were still being flown in Cat 2s in most nations worldwide at least up until the Worlds at Piedrahita.
The PWCA, debated the issue at length and made an early announcement just one month after Piedrahita, that the 2011 Superfinal, scheduled for January 2013 in Valle de Brava in Mexico, and the entire 2012 PWC tour (all Cat 2 events) would be restricted to certified gliders.
It was not the specific intention of the CIVL Bureau that uncertified gliders be banned for all Cat 2 events. But it felt it would be negligent if it did not point out the safety concerns to FAI members. The cause(s) of the accidents still had to be determined, and would be investigated by the Paragliding Competition Safety Task Force.
Yet even before the Task Force reported, manufacturers had started to react by trying to push their 'competition' class gliders into the EN-D certification class. Testing was extremely difficult, and this too, resulted in urgent discussions within the PMA.
Meanwhile, some manufacturers have stated that these new gliders are not to be considered as appropriate for pilots who normally fly 'serial class' gliders in the EN-D class. Thus, the fear, first voiced 13 years previously, that serial class glider design would be pushed to the limit, has been realised.
The reaction by recreational and serial-class competition pilots to this unintended (but expected) consequence has been almost as loud and negative as that of the top level competition pilots following the CIVL Bureau decision to suspend certification of 'competition' class gliders.
This brings us up to the preparations for the 2012 CIVL Plenary. This time there was no need for a specific proposal to move to Serial class, as that was (and is) the de facto position. However, the consequences seem to have made all parties realise that some sort of 'competition' class paraglider is necessary to avoid EN-D becoming the 'competition' class. Unfortunately, many believe that the EN-D class will not fully recover, and pilots must be made better aware of the performance characteristics of the gliders they choose to fly.
Moreover, one of the overriding themes from the detailed report of the CIVL Competition Safety Task Force, was that some sort of 'competition' class should be reinstated as soon as possible. The Task Force gave considerable attention to the possibility of splitting the EN-D class to differentiate these new gliders. The same discussion has been taken up by the PMA, and there appears to be no easy way to classify the wings.
By the time of the Plenary, the PMA had issued a statement that it intended to work towards creating a new 'competition' class paraglider. The CIVL Paragliding Subcommittee, encouraged by the PMA's intentions, recommended that CIVL review this work once it is completed. The PWCA backs the decision to stay with serial class only in the meantime, and had already announced that its 2012 tour would be serial-class only up to and including the Superfinal in early 2013.
Meanwhile, much needs to be done to ensure all pilots are fully aware of the skills required to fly the new generation of EN-D gliders. The PMA, following the recommendation of the CIVL Task Force, is working on developing an SIV-like training programme for competition pilots. Some NACs favour the introduction of making such courses mandatory for competitors (already the case in Switzerland). This is certainly going to be on the agenda of the next CIVL Plenary.

PAKISTAN: The 'democracy' of boots, bullets, and brutality
How does one 'spread democracy' by supporting military juntas?
For generations, we heard the same claims used to support death squads which ravaged Latin America. Men trained at the place called Las escuelas de golpas, (or coup school) led to brutal wars against workers, trade unionists, nuns, priests, and indigenous people, all in the name of 'protecting democracy,' (Those schools are here in the US!)

PAKISTAN: The 'democracy' of boots, bullets and brutality
{col. writ. 9/15/07}
(c) '07 Mumia Abu-Jamal
America's 'allies' in the so-called 'war on terror', are often at war with their own societies -- and more often than not, they are at war with democracy.
It is an odd thing to hear the Bush regime and its media puppets echo the claim that the wars in the Middle East are to 'spread democracy', when the very countries that have signed up for this dubious project are -- well, let's not beat around the bush -- dictatorships.
In Pakistan, a country carved out of the northwest of India, as the British Imperial Raj was on the wane, is a huge country of roughly 150 million people, and roughly twice the size of California (or, from another perspective, 1/2 the size of Alaska).
It may be an ally, but it's hardly a democracy.
Pakistan has been ruled, since a 1999 coup, by a military dictatorship, headed by Gen. Pervez
Musharraf. Musharraf came to power after a row between the military and the elected leadership over Pakistan's intentions on Kashmir ( a majority Muslim region that is part of India).
When the former Pakistani prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, tried to discipline the army by firing Gen. Musharraf from his post, the military struck back.
From then till now, Pakistan has been under the thumb of its military.
The military runs vast swathes of Pakistan's economy, from construction companies to bottled water industries.
It runs the nations's media, and sits at the highest levels of the nation's universities.
As the demonstrations that erupted hen Gen. Musharraf attempted to remove a sitting Supreme Court justice has shown, there is considerable social discontent with the heavy had of the military over almost all sectors of Pakistani life.
When Nawaz Sharif boarded a plane in London several days ago, to try to return to his homeland, he described his efforts as "a final battle" between "dictatorship and democracy."
The former prime minister said his return signified it was "time that we put an end to this menace of dictatorship." *
But if this was a battle between dictatorship and democracy, dictatorship won. For police and military officials cordoned off the airport, and stopped traffic to it for miles around.
Sharif was arrested shortly after his arrival, and hundreds of his supporters were beaten in Rawalpindi.
According to an account in the New York Times (9/11/07) almost the "entire leadership" of Sharif's opposition party were arrested.
A Pakistani Supreme Court ruling recently held that Sharif was free to return to Pakistan, and to run for office.
According to Sharif, "Mr. Musharraf does not believe in the rule of law."
Before 4 hours had passed, Sharif was back on a plane, but bound, once again, for Saudi Arabia, exiled by his military opponents.
Sharif questioned how an American president could support Musharraf.
"President Bush is somehow supporting an individual who today has become a symbol of hatred in Pakistan, a man whom everybody in Pakistan ants to get rid of."*
How does one 'spread democracy' by supporting military juntas?
For generations, we heard the same claims used to support death squads which ravaged Latin America. Men trained at the place called Las escuelas de golpas, (or coup school) led to brutal wars against workers, trade unionists, nuns, priests, and indigenous people, all in the name of 'protecting democracy,' (Those schools are here in the US!)
And what is an ally, which must be threatened with extermination, in order to secure it's alliance?
Published reports have already assured us that high level US officials, in the aftermath of 9-11, threatened to 'nuke Pakistan' unless it joined this so-called 'war on terror.'
Why not the use of terror in this so-called 'war on terror?'
Why not the use of military dictatorships in this claimed war 'to spread democracy?'

It's Our Turn: It's never been easier to take poor photos
Everyone is a photographer nowadays.
For someone who has been into photography for a long time, I think modern cameras, including some cell phone cameras, are almost miraculous in their ability to produce high-quality photos.
When I first started seriously taking pictures, about 35 years ago, photography was a lot harder, with more controls to master and decisions to make. First you had to decide what kind of film to use. Next you had to set exposure manually. Then, while shooting, you had to constantly focus the lens. Of course, you never really knew if you got it all right until the film was developed.
Over the years, photography has been getting technically easier. Cameras now automatically focus, adjust to varying light levels, set overall color cast, and even stabilize themselves. The camera will make many of the decisions for you if you let it.
However, there is one important thing that even the newest camera can't do. It can't think for you.
That's where many people run into trouble with photography. They assume that because their cameras often do such a good job, they shouldn't have to think or do anything but push a button and have a photo appear.
I'm the same way, sometimes. I tend to get lazy and just do what's easy. I've made my share of silly mistakes as a photographer. Back in the old days when we used film, I made the classic mistake at least once of shooting without any film in the camera.
I still make mistakes all the time when taking photos. Most are simply the result of not thinking. After all, that's the real challenge. Photography is about knowing when to override those automatic settings to get the effect you want. It's about figuring out how you can best communicate in an interesting and unique way. It's about taking enough photos and sticking with it long enough to get what you originally pictured in your mind.
Here at the Echo Press, it is my job not only to take photos but also to process most of the photos that come in. Sometimes I'm amazed at the high quality of the photos we get. However, more often I am dismayed at how poor the photos are.
One of the biggest problems with contributed photos is that they are often way too small. I don't know if the computers and e-mail are sizing down the photos, or if the photographers are deliberately doing it, but the result is that the pictures have to be enlarged and aren't nearly as sharp and clear as they could be.
Another obvious problem is the use of date stamps. Unless you are in the FBI or are a private investigator, there is no reason to ever have the date stamp on. There is no quicker way to ruin a perfectly good photo than to have a line of big, ugly, orange numbers running across it. If you really need to know when a digital photo was taken, it's easy to tell by looking at the photo information on your computer. Or, better yet, use software that catalogs your photos for you.
One of the easiest ways to dramatically improve your photos is to get closer to your subject. When you think you are close enough, move in a little closer. There are times when you want to include some space around your subject, but in general, if you get close and fill the frame, your photos will be much stronger.
One final thing to learn is how to turn off the flash. Most flashes aren't made to reach farther than about 10 to 15 feet. If your subject is farther away than that, the flash won't help and may even ruin your photo. If this is the only control you learn how to operate on your camera, you'll be way ahead of everyone else.
If you follow these four rules you won't immediately become a professional photographer, but your photos will look a lot better and will certainly reproduce better in the newspaper.

There a couple of interesting pieces today that are a bit separate from the normal topics, and also some that add to previous posts. We'll start with the most relevant ones first.
No Summer Doldrums – Jim Sinclair Interviewed by King World News – Jim Sinclair is one of the most respected voices when it comes to precious metals and the financial markets. His view is that that the normal seasonal slow-down in precious metals over the summer will not materialize as most expect. He expects a possible correction of sorts, but mentions that precious metals will continue higher with or without the next QE. If QE continues, gold will continue higher due to inflation. If QE stops, the stock and treasury markets are both toast, which also powers gold higher. If there is a correction, don't expect to find too much physical at low prices. Physical metal is scarce enough at current prices let alone if there is another correction.
No Greek Restructuring Agreement Yet – Bank Run Begins – European debt problems continue. The Greeks are starting to move large amounts of money before the banks are closed with a bank holiday. Bank holidays and stock market holidays, read closures instead of holidays, usually follow major disruptions in the currency or the stock market. Have a look at the 1930s depression and other hyperinflations for some examples. Some Greeks see the writing on the wall and are moving their money now, before it's too late.
New Privacy Software for Android Phones – Red Phone encrypts cell phone calls and text messages. Supposedly the code is closed so the back-end isn't open to third-parties, which is what Skype and Google Voice suffer from. This would make Android phones even more secure than land-lines. Talk about a major piece of good news when it comes to communication privacy.
Bitcoin - An Open-source Currency – I haven't talked much about alternatives to the USD besides gold and silver. One that is really hot right now is Bitcoin. It is an open-source currency that is being used for online transactions. It seems like Bitcoin is receiving a lot of attention, and the chart in the opening article also indicates that Bitcoin looks like it might be entering bubble territory. It is in this state because some investors are confusing Bitcoin's function. Bitcoin was designed to be a currency for online transactions, a medium of exchange. This means Bitcoin should mainly be used for transactions. Because it is a virtual currency (not tangible), it is merely a form of credit, albeit open-source credit. Therefore, when it comes to online transactions, Bitcoin is a very solid alternative to other currencies that are being inflated. Because it is a type of credit, it is not suitable as a store of value. What might be happening to Bitcoin now, is that many people are hoarding them, thinking they will rise in value, which they might if demand keeps increasing. However, this is all merely speculation. Bitcoin is a form of credit and was designed only as a transactional currency. Those who are using Bitcoin as store of value may or may not be in for a surprise. Ideally, gold and silver should be your store of value while you use Bitcoin for online transaction. Anything else is speculation, which is great as long as you understand the subject matter.

BORDEAUX: France edged Ireland in a World Cup warm-up at the weekend, but both sides were left with plenty to ponder ahead of the showpiece event.
France scored the only try of the match through Vincent Clerc with Dimitri Yachvili and Ronan O'Gara kicking the rest of their teams' points.
''We wanted to win our last match in France before the World Cup and we wanted the game to give us an idea as to the work which we still need to do,'' said France coach Marc Lievremont. ''In the first part of the match I saw a lot of things that I liked - the intensity, the quality of the rugby we produced, in the fundamentals and the defence.''
Ireland coach Declan Kidney was disappointed that his team only came alive after the break when they briefly closed the gap to 13-12.
''We have a lot of work to do ahead of the next match [against France in Dublin this weekend],'' he said. ''We have to understand that we cannot play for just half the match; we have to play the full 80 minutes.''
FRANCE 19 (Vincent Clerc try, Dimitri Yachvili con, (4) pens) bt IRELAND 12 (Ronan O'Gara (4) pens). Referee: Steve Walsh (Australia)

LG Optimus LTE2 to have a spiffy camera with voice photo taking, HDR photography and "Time Machine" mode
0. phoneArena posted on 08 May 2012, 12:56
Just like HTC with the One series and their ImageChip, and Samsung with the Galaxy S III, the Optimus LTE2 is taking good advantage of the Ice Cream Sandwich camera API, and will undoubtedly offer things like sub-second photo capture,simultaneous pics and video taking, and Best Photo mode, which here will be called "Time Machine" shot, judging from some more leaked specs...

LG is been doing a good job in terms of tech & innovation but they are unable to get the success. i think there is a problem with their execution.

wow, korea just topped its own creation, the SGS3, with this monster...
3. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
the only thing it tops the SGS3 in is RAM. If LG doesnt have proper implementations to use it, its not going to mean anything.
Looks like "best shot" and "time machine are going to be the camera buzz words for a while. HTC, samsung, RIM, and LG now have all announced the same feature. Whos next!? lol

remix the lg has a rgb ips lcd while the sgs3 is kicking a pentile display.
lte2 also has bigger battery
also this article is incorrect. the source lists the display as 4.7" and also list a 1.5ghz dual core processor, most likely the s4.
so lg lte 2 has better ram, better screen, better battery; please try your best to tell me that this is not a better phone.
9. ZEUS.the.thunder.god (unregistered)
i dont think LG or anyone else will be able to top SAMMY atleast not in 2012.
S3 is gonna be a beast, both in terms of performance and sales.
4. XiphiasGladius (Posts: 813; Member since: 21 Aug 2011)
WTF? I'm actually drooling like a sick puppy right now. Now thats one very interesting device minus the all hype.
6. shadowcell (Posts: 300; Member since: 28 Mar 2012)
I came to this article thinking LG actually had a time machine. To say the very least, I was severely disappointed.

Ugly a$$ phone! About time that 2GB's of RAM is installed in a phone. I think that should've been before making a quad-core processor.
12. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
spec look awesome but design looks to boxy and looks like the edges would dig into your hands and make it uncomfortable..also is it me or does it look like a more boxy version of the s2 international version and also more glossy...in some shots it looks really nice though.
16. XiphiasGladius (Posts: 813; Member since: 21 Aug 2011)
I believe it has a sharper edges and a narrower profile (screen) compared to the Int. SGSII version.
13. rg987 (Posts: 130; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
a f**ked up phone.....................except ram, all other features and some more too can be found in the s3
15. Jericho (unregistered)
awesome probably my next phone. LOVE LG. I don't care about the sales if lg is not selling well that doesn't mean i shouldn't buy it. Cause if we start thinking that way then all the top selling brands will sell more and others will eventually be out of buissness.

LG seems to finally be taking the smartphone game seriously. now let's see if they have sorted out their updating issues
22. yt6nin (Posts: 100; Member since: 16 Nov 2011)
The rumored specs on this rumored smartphone just seemed unlikely when SGSIII didn't even come with 2GB of RAM... Then LG (rumored) plans on releasing a smartphone that may have the 2GB of RAM, wh/ I think is more important than a quad-core... Asia is being the leading innovators and producers of smartphones the past 2yrs... Samsung, HTC, LG, now Huawei, and Sony making a comeback after cutting off ties with Ericson... There is just too much competition in Asia, but I love that it results in so many different "high-end" Android's to choose from. It may be difficult to choose one over another, but certainly is enjoyable and fun to know that each phone gives you what another Android may not, unlike everyone with an iPhone... It's not that I dislike iPhones, I think they're pretty damn neat and great to have, but just doesn't satisfy my needs and wants... It's almost there... But for me Android is where its at unless, obivously, I can get the newest iPhone at the upgrade for free =P

the phone is not rumored! it has already been announced u blithering idiot

Possible to slow down hair loss?
- Question from WW: I just had my first chemo treatment, and my hair is starting to fall out. Is there anything that can slow down the loss? I don't think I can cope with total hair loss AND treatment.
Answers -
Julie Gralow, M.D.
Hair loss is a common side effect of many chemotherapy agents, and many of them cause complete hair loss. However, the hair always grows back again at the end of chemotherapy. My patients have tried all kinds of shampoos and conditioners that purport to help with it, but I don't think I've ever seen one that's made much of a difference.
Some people have tried using ice caps on the scalp, and this might slow down hair loss. But, in general, significant hair loss still occurs. There's also some concern about shutting down blood flow to the scalp, which is what you're doing with the ice. If you happened to have a tumor cell in the scalp area, you could be isolating it from the effects of the chemotherapy. Because of this, some oncologists don't encourage ice caps. And, as I said before, while the caps may slow down hair loss, hair loss still occurs.
Again, remember that this is only a temporary side effect. Lots of times hair comes back thicker and curlier. In general, you'll start seeing some hair growth within a couple of months after the last chemotherapy treatment. Hair follicles are deep inside the scalp, so re-growth isn't visible right away.
Marisa Weiss, M.D.
There have been studies showing that women fear hair loss even more than loss of a breast. Being prepared for this unpleasant side effect of treatment can make a huge difference. This means knowing when your hair is likely to come out. It means getting a wig that you like, as well as alternatives like turbans, a scarf, a baseball cap, or a snuggly hat to wear during the time that you are without hair.
Many women can do very well with a synthetic wig that costs less than $100. I even have patients who have a full assortment of wigs: long, short, black, blonde, etc. They have just decided that they're going to try to have some fun with it. A support group is a good place to find out what the best solutions are, and it's a good place to get support through this tough problem. Hair loss is terrible, but at least it's only temporary.
The Ask-the-Expert Online Conference called Managing Treatment Side Effects featured Julie Gralow, M.D. and Marisa Weiss, M.D. answering your questions about many of the short-term and long-term side effects of breast cancer treatment, and ways of minimizing them, so you can get on with your life and enjoy your day-to-day activities.
Editor's Note: This conference took place in January 2003.

Mixed-breed dogs make loyal, fun and loving pets
Dogs are man's best friends who are loyal, fun and loving. Whether you adopt or you decide to go to a breeder, dogs immediately become an important part of your family. Celebrities, athletes and other stars support either adopting or breeding.
While getting a purebred is usually a first choice, there is a better option. Mutts (mixed breeds) are adopted by many stars such as freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy. While competing in the Olympics, one of Kenworthy's friends sent a picture of a small litter of puppies and their mother in Sochi.
He immediately fell in love with the family and decided to be proactive about the large problem of homeless dogs by one small step.
Kenworthy decided to adopt four puppies and their mother from Sochi. He did all that he could in his ability to bring home as many dogs as he could from the Russian city. Kenworthy grew up with dogs and inspired people such as animal activists to pick up dogs from the streets and place them in homes or in temporary shelters before finding an owner elsewhere. Although he couldn't help all, Kenworthy has sparked an interest of the adoption process and we can all learn a great deal from his act of kindness.
Finding a perfect purebred for your lifestyle can be exhausting. Looking for a reliable and responsible breeder is a tough process. With mutts, you can go to your local shelter and see what dog catches your attention rather than going to a breeder.
A purebred could also cost a small fortune. Many shelters offer dogs of all ages, shapes and sizes — dogs that need homes and people to love them. Mixed breeds are also believed to have better temperaments than purebreds.
Shelters tend to have purebreds, not just mutts. Sometimes people cannot take their pets to a new location. Therefore, they could bring their dogs to shelters where they can be adopted by a new loving family.
Many strays are lost pets that were not kept properly indoors or provided with identification. Wouldn't you want to help an adopted dog have a second chance?
The next time you are in PetSmart thinking about adopting a dog, look into the eyes of a dog that needs your help for a second shot in life.

Black Sabbath's Woes with Bill Ward Spoofed by Twitter User
All the drama surrounding the recent Black Sabbath reunion and the exclusion of drummer Bill Ward has left a lot of classic rock fans disappointed (or disgusted). But one Twitter user has found humor in the situation and created a spoof account to bring a little levity to the chaos.
In case you've somehow missed the story, it goes something like this … contract disputes allegedly kept Ward from rejoining the Sabbath lineup, but there's been a lot of back and forth and "he said/he said."
Apparently, none of the guys in the band talked to each other during the contract battle, instead leaving it to their lawyers to work things out, so Ward felt he wasn't given a say in things and ended up with what he said was an "un-signable contract."
What we do know is Ward ultimately asked to have any pictures with him in them removed from the Sabbath website, and that the only ones who seem to be benefiting from the whole debacle are the band members' respective legal teams.
With all that in mind, the cleverly-named Twitter account @Back_Stabbath seems to have been the brainchild of a rock fan who took the description of the mess being a "soap opera" to heart.
Take a look at some of the tweets below:
