Back in December, Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone said that he had not spoken to quarterback Kevin Kolb, who was placed on injured reserve in August.
Nearly two months later, Marrone said he is still not sure of Kolb's plans. Kolb, 29, suffered at least his third career concussion in the third game of the preseason, leaving his playing future in doubt.
"He's under contract and I'm not aware of really what exactly is going on right now, whether he's planning to come back, whether he's not going to come back," Marrone told WGR 550 on Friday. "I have not been informed of anything to that nature."
While it's unclear if general manager Doug Whaley has been in contact with Kolb, the Bills have a decision on their veteran quarterback coming soon. According to ProFootballTalk.com, he is due a $1 million roster bonus on the third day of the 2014 league year, which is March 13. If he is on the roster at that time, Kolb will earn that bonus, so the Bills would need to release him before then (or restructure his contract) to avoid that charge.
Kolb currently has the 10th-highest cap number for the Bills, at $3.6 million against their 2014 salary cap. Releasing Kolb before March 13 would result in the savings of his $2 million base salary as well as his $1 million roster bonus. He also has a $100,000 offseason workout bonus, per ProFootballTalk.com, that would not have to be paid if he's released.
Marrone told WGR 550 on Friday that the Bills are keeping their options open at quarterback.
"I think what we did was we set ourselves up, we can go in any direction, meaning coaching staff-wise," Marrone said. "So we brought in a quarterbacks coach [Todd Downing]. We have a senior adviser in Jim Hostler. I basically have three coaches on this staff now that have coached that position and coached that quarterback, two having coordinated here in the NFL. I've set it up so we have the ability to go either way."

When eurozone finance minsters announced their long-delayed deal to overhaul Greece's second bailout early Tuesday morning, there was much they didn't disclose.
The most glaring was how big a highly-touted bond buyback programme would be, a question dodged repeatedly at a post-deal news conference. But there were other things that were left out of a two-page statement summing up the deal, including how much the European Central Bank was making on its Greek bond holdings, profits that will be returned to Athens as part of the agreement.
It turns out, those were not the only – or even the biggest – unanswered questions left after the early-morning deal. As we report in today's dead-tree edition of the FT, ministers failed to find enough debt relief measures to get to the purported Greek debt target of 124 per cent of economic output by 2020, far above the 120 per cent target set in February.
In reporting our story, we relied heavily on a leaked chart that we got our hands on (which we've linked to here) that lays out in great detail the assumptions built into the new programme. A quick review of the chart comes after the jump… Read more

Mail and Guardian
"Tiger Man" John Varty has suggested that breeders should defy the government's trade ban and stage a high-profile global auction of horns.
In an open letter to the world's largest rhino breeder, Mpumalanga-based John Hume, published on his own JV and the Big Cats website, Varty said Hume should ask the environment minister for permission for a one-off auction of all privately owned horns.
"Point out that the precedent was set in the 1980s when South Africa's National Parks had ivory auctions in which Japanese, Taiwanese and Chinese buyers participated in the purchase of ivory from culled elephants in Kruger National Park," he said. "The money from those auctions went back into the protection and conservation of elephants in South Africa."
If the minister did not grant permission for the auction, he wrote, Hume should "create a global event", similar to the way Kenyan conservationist Richard Leakey focused attention on elephant poaching when he persuaded then-president Daniel arap Moi to burn 12 tonnes of ivory in 1989.
"In your case, you go ahead with the auction, informing the South African government of your intentions. If you would like me to stand beside you, I will do so," Varty said.
"You invite 100 private individuals who have rhino horn from dead or dehorned rhino to join you in the auction.
"If you were on your own, the government could arrest you. I doubt if the government could arrest 100 high-profile private individuals trading openly in rhino horn and advertising the auction globally."
Rekindling debate
The missive generated heated response on social media networks, rekindling debate on whether opening the trade in horn will stop rhino poaching. With this year's death toll climbing past 410 rhinos, concerned groups are awaiting a decision on the trade debate promised by the environment department's "rhino conservation issue manager", Mavuso Msimang, by the end of September.
Varty was criticised by anti-trade groups for supporting the argument of many private rhino owners at workshops convened by Msimang in recent months in the run-up to a seminal meeting of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites) early next year. Private ranchers, who own about 25% of the estimated 18000 white rhinos left in South Africa and a large part of the almost 20 tonnes of stockpiled horn, argued that the only way to halt the slaughter was to lift the trade ban imposed in 2009.
Varty courted controversy when he defied conservation dogma in the 1990s by setting up a tiger-breeding project in the Free State because he believed the Indian government was not doing enough to save the big cats from extinction.
He said present interventions to save rhinos were not working. "We have lost 10 rhinos on our family game reserve in Sabi Sand and now have to hire a small army to protect the rest. It's a war."
Hume, who owns hundreds of rhinos and dehorns them regularly, said Varty's open letter supported his view that the only way to stop the poachers was to sell horns to Asian countries, where they are prized as medicinal remedies.
"My answer is that I wish I had the guts to take on the whole world, but at the age of 70 I don't want to buck the system. I toe the line, work with Cites and stick within the law, even if it's bad for rhinos," he said.
Hume's lawyer, Izak du Toit, said although Varty's suggestion was "bold and noble", he was not convinced it could work legally. "But the public lobbying value may be worth it to get the world's attention. Desperate situations call for desperate measures."
Environment department spokesperson Albi Modise stressed the "need to continue working with all stakeholders and our entire South African society if the war on rhino poaching is to be won". M&G

Soviet-era listening stations still operating
The world has been somewhat surprised by recent reports of the National Security Agency's massive electronic spying operations around the globe. But they're not the only ones with their ears to the proverbial ground. Just about every nation is engaged in some sort of electronic espionage. Russia, for example, still has an array of massive listening stations, ready to snoop on whoever's talking.It's a legacy of the Soviet Union, which ran one of the largest of those electronic eavesdropping networks as it tried to gain any intel it could on the U.S. and its allies. Those old Soviet eavesdropping stations still exist. Some are rusting away in former Soviet countries. Others are still operational.Intelligence historian Matthew Aid just got ahold of a recently declassified CIA document listing the locations of 11 KGB strategic radio interception stations throughout Russia and the rest of the old Soviet Union....

Moving New Play on the Rosenbergs and 1950s Atomic Secrets
Bruce Chadwick
Ethel Sings: Espionage in High CWalker Space Theater46 Walker StreetNew York, N.Y.The summer of 2013 is the 60th anniversary of the execution of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, accused of selling American atomic secrets to the Soviet Union from about 1943 to the early 1950s. Even though it was later proved that they were guilty, the pair remains political celebrities today.Ethel Sings, by Joan Beber, is a moving drama about the couple, who died in their mid-30s (Ethel was 38, Julius 35), leaving behind two small children, Michael and Robert. Their case brought on several rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court, several delays of execution and even a last minute plea to President Dwight Eisenhower. Beber paints a fine portrait of the couple, who went from joining the Communist Party to organizing labor and political rallies to espionage. They were, like some other ultra-liberals of the era, convinced that world was in better hands with the Soviets than the Americans. So they decided to do what they could to help the Soviets. That was their downfall.

Anya Schmemann: Life Under the KGB's Watchful Eye in 1980s Russia
Anya Schmemann, is the director of editorial strategy, and the director of the task force program, at the Council on Foreign Relations.Last week, Russia expelled an American diplomat, accusing him of being a spy for the CIA. Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) said that U.S. Embassy Third Secretary Ryan Fogle had been caught red-handed with disguises, spy equipment, and wads of cash, trying to recruit a Russian agent.The episode -- complete with cheap looking wigs, fake glasses, a compass, a street map, and a laughable "Dear Friend" letter -- seemed straight out of the Cold War.For me, it caused a wave of nostalgia and catapulted me back to the 1980s when I was an expat child in Soviet Russia.Our family moved to Moscow in 1980, at the height of the Cold War, when President Ronald Reagan and General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev faced off across a great iron divide. My father was an American reporter, a fluent Russian speaker, the son of a Russian Orthodox priest, and the grandson of White Russian refugees, and he was instantly considered highly suspicious.

Home > National News > Article
A man who bludgeoned his friend to death with a claw hammer kept changing his story as evidence stacked up against him, a Sydney court was told today.
Bradleigh Walsh, 32, has pleaded not guilty in the NSW Supreme Court to murdering David Sutton at Penrith on March 15, 2002.
However, Walsh pleaded guilty to manslaughter, claiming he killed his friend in self-defence after being attacked with a length of wood.
The Crown said he then dismembered the body. Mr Sutton's severed head and arms were later found in the Hawkesbury River.
Walsh's girlfriend, 22-year-old Kathleen Sharp - who allegedly helped dispose of the body - has pleaded not guilty to being an accessory after the fact to murder.
In closing submissions today, Crown Prosecutor Barry Newport, QC, told the jury there was every indication Walsh had killed Mr Sutton in circumstances amounting to murder, rather than in self-defence.
Walsh and Sharp had continually lied about their involvement after the killing in an attempt to deflect blame, Mr Newport said.
He said Walsh told police several different stories about the killing, at first denying any involvement and claiming bikies may have murdered Mr Sutton.
But after police detailed some of the evidence against him, Walsh then suggested Sharp may have killed Mr Sutton with a hammer after Mr Sutton attempted to rape her.
"This attempted rape story is exactly that, a story," Mr Newport said.
During the trial, Walsh told the court that he struck Mr Sutton three times with a claw hammer after he was repeatedly beaten with a piece of wood.
After a forensic pathologist testified that Mr Sutton had suffered as many as seven or eight blows to the head, Mr Newport said Walsh invented a story to account for the additional injuries, claiming he accidentally ran over the body with a slashing machine.
"Mr Walsh is lying about ... how (the killing) occurred and whether he believed it was self-defence or not," Mr Newport said.
The trial before Justice Rod Howie continues.

The cry against cuts in state aid heard at Hilton Head
Back from a conference of the South Carolina Association of Counties, an Oconee County councilman says the hue and cry over reduced state aid to local government was heard during this summer's meeting at Hilton Head Island. Paul Corbeil, the District One county councilman, said from conference sessions he picked up information valuable to the county and to him as an elected representative. Corbeil said he sat in on an informative session led by a leading South Carolina attorney speaking about Home Rule. Another session dealt with the decline of aid to local governments—local tax dollars that go to the state but aren't being returned, he said.

La bohème (Puccini): November 4 & 6, 2016
This upcoming season, we are looking for four male supernumeraries (ages 19-60 years old) to join us for our fall production of Puccini's beloved opera, La bohème. You will have a chance to perform on the stage of the Orpheum Theater and be compensated for your participation.
Supernumeraries (Supers) are those lucky people you see on stage in your favorite operas who do not sing or speak, yet are an important part of the production. They take roles such as servants, soldiers, peasants, priests and priestesses, dancers, bartenders, waiters, Japanese relatives, ragamuffins, pickpockets, and sometimes even animals! It is the equivalent of being an "extra" in a movie or TV show.
Supernumeraries are usually character artists who train under professional direction to create a believable scene. They are an integral part of the stage picture and give a sense of credibility to scenes where crowds, members of the royal court, wait staff, townsfolk, or a variety of characters are needed.
Supers sometimes have varying levels of experience. Some have no previous acting or performing experience, while others are professionals. The most important thing is the ability to take direction well and be prompt and reliable. Casting is generally based on a specific look or size, and often operas require more male supers than female. However, there are opportunities for women and children, including the very young, in certain productions.
Every Super hopes to get important roles with plenty of stage time, but it doesn't always work that way. Some of the super parts are very brief. Waiting is an essential part of preparing a production. You will eventually go on, no matter how long it seems to take in rehearsal. Once the show moves into performance, the waiting time is minimized.
Being a Super is fun! Supers have the opportunity to be in rehearsals, backstage and onstage and experience firsthand the excitement of creating live opera. Supernumeraries do their part out of love for the opera and the stage. They receive a brief mention in the program notes and a small amount of money for their time. Many Supers perform in opera after opera because they enjoy the excitement of being a part of what always becomes a beautiful production. Supers often have lavish costumes and sometimes wigs that are tailored for them. They also enjoy the chance to meet the cast and crew, interact with world-famous singers and directors, and become a part of the opera and supernumerary community.
For Fall 2016, rehearsals will begin on or around October 8th, 2016. Performances will take place on Friday, November 4th, 2016 at 7:30 P.M. and Sunday, November 6th, 2016 at 2:00 P.M.
Schedule varies, depending on the production - a typical rehearsal schedule includes 2-3 rehearsals per week. Rehearsals take place weekday evenings (except Wednesday) and on the weekends. During the week prior to the production, the weekday evening rehearsals may last 4-5 hours. Attendance is mandatory, but exceptions can be made in emergency situations. On occasion, extra rehearsals may be scheduled depending on the needs of the specific production (i.e. sword-fighting, choreography, or working with special effects).
Preliminary rehearsals will be held at Opera Omaha's Rehearsal Room (1850 Farnam Street). Final rehearsals and performances will be held at the Orpheum Theater.

Newton County voters have spoken, and Tommy Davis has been elected as coroner once again. Republican Davis had 21,675 votes to Democrat Robert L. Bradley's 19,589.
"I look forward to serving four more years for the citizens of Newton County," Davis said at the Board of Elections. "It is an honor to serve as their county coroner. The trust and confidence they put in me will increase my dedication and commitment to them and the job I do."
When asked why he believed the citizens chose him over Bradley, Davis said "The community has shown that over 10 years of experience in the coroner's office and four years as the coroner, they know I have both the knowledge and experience and that they can place their confidence in me 100 percent."
Davis has been in the funeral business for nearly 30 years, serving as deputy coroner since 2003 and coroner since 2009. He also owns and operates J.C. Harwell and Son Funeral Home. Davis graduated from Lithonia High School and then went on to DeKalb Community College and Gupton-Jones College of Mortuary Science.

So, this post is going to be about three things. All related in one way or another.
- Groupon's Plan to Destroy My Life, one major discount at a time
- Pictures of me in my underwear
Feel free to skip unimportant sections at your leisure.
1. What the fuck I've been doing
Or, as I like to call it, "The Elephant in the Room." So, Beej, what the fuck HAVE you been doing?
- Well. I HAVE NOT been blogging, that's for sure. In fact, I really haven't been writing at all, unless you count boring work stuff and a lot of lame shit on Facebook (which reminds me — FUCK YOU, all you people who didn't comment on my list of random 15 iPod "shuffle songs" results. My list was BAD ASS and I totally commented on everyone else's lists, even YOU, Dumbass Who
Apparently Listens to Nothing but Toby Keith. Fuck you ESPECIALLY) and snarky emails to the BFF about the schmos I work with and their total lack of appreciation for my adorable daily outfit selections.
- I HAVE been having a life. I've been to Disneyland and the grocery store and my 20-year high school reunion (which comes as a huge shock to you because you had NO IDEA I was that old – right? Right? FUCKINGRIGHT?!?!? Come ON, dudes, throw me a bone) and my great-grandparents' house and I've had dinners and lunches and gone shopping with my friends and I've read actual books, with actual pages, and I've chased my son around the park and through department stores and I've lost my keys and searched for them all panicky-like and then found them hanging in the front door (again), and I've trick-or-treated with the cutest zookeeper you have EVER seen and I've been really depressed and then not so depressed and then happy and then really happy, and I've given time-outs and gotten hugs and kisses and slaps and kicks and I've accidentally brushed my teeth with hair gel (again) and I've been working full-time and done approximately 12,543,652 loads of laundry and I've cried because my kid has stopped calling me "Mommy." All of that and more. Just, Life. And none of it has included this blog.
- I HAVE NOT been Twittering. I was all into it there for a while but then everyone started about Vajazzling themselves and I was out.
- I HAVE been fucking around a lot on Polyvore.com. Way, way more than I should. It's my latest obsession. Because it's like paper dolls but without the paper! Good for the environment! And — BONUS — I don't have to leave my house anymore to sit in judgment of other people's fashion sense! All I have to do is click around for a little while on Polyvore and — le voila! –
Somebody, somewhere, paid almost 500 bucks for those… um… huh. Shorts? Pants? Whatever the hell they are, someone paid $488 for them. Probably Victoria Beckham.
Polyvore. It's comedy. It's tragedy. It's like Shakespeare's As You Like It and Macbeth, all rolled into one.
- I HAVE NOT been figuring out how to align bulleted text or images in WordPress. Obviously.
- I HAVE been working hard to implement my latest decision to omit closing punctuation in short text bursts
You know, like Facebook status updates and text messages and comments and stuff
I like the ambiguity
I want to keep people guessing
Maybe I mean this in a nice way, maybe I don't
You'll never know
I could make this list much longer. I've actually been doing a lot of other stuff. But I don't want to and one of the things I've been doing is trying not to do stuff I don't want to do. So I'll stop now and go on to the next point
2. Groupon's Plan to Destroy My Life, one major discount at a time
Now when I say Groupon, I don't mean just Groupon.com. I also mean LivingSocial.com and Localiter.com and BuyWithMe.com and aDealio.com and 365ThingstoDoInAustin.com and god-knows-what-else.com. Every email feels like an opportunity. An opportunity to add some new, amazing thing to my list of Shit I Don't Need At All But It Was Like 75% Off The Regular Price So What The Fuck Was I Supposed to Do? list. It's like a compulsion, I can't stop myself. And because of this, my inbox is littered with order confirmations for trapeze lessons, eyelash extensions, hip-hop classes, laser hair removal, acupuncture treatments, gourmet cupcakes, a flying lesson, chicken and waffles, house cleaning, microdermabrasion and a zip line canopy tour.
I don't even know what some of this stuff IS
But it was 50 to 75 percent off
Which all brings me to my last point
3. Pictures of me in my underwear
Boudoir! Photography! Deep, HUGE discount! Buy me! Buy me! Buy me!
Guess what I did?
I went right to my old boyfriend Dick and looked up "boudoir."
And then I bought it.
I shopped for pretty underwear. I had my hair and makeup done. And then I posed for a bunch of pictures.
Pictures of me
In my underwear
I actually really LIKE the pictures of me in my underwear. But the thing is, I'm not exactly sure what to DO with the pictures of me in my underwear. I can't put them on Facebook. I can't bring them to work. I don't want to frame them.
You HAVE to know what's coming next. Right?
Stay tunedStumble it!
Tags: I am old, I can't stop buying weird shit I don't need, Somebody stop me before I put pictures of myself in my underwear on the Internet, Toby Keith sucks ass

Industry leader ikan has announced two new LED studio lights, expanding its already impressive inventory of fixtures and lighting kits. The unique aspect of both lights is the inclusion of an LCD touch screen control panel, which replaces the knobs and switches located on the back of the older units. We will discuss the details of the control panel after reviewing some of the other important features of these exceptional studio lights.
The ID500-v2 LED Studio Light with Touch Screen Dimming replaces the ID500 and offers the same durable package. The lightweight metal unit mounts vertically or horizontally and provides the equivalent of 300W Tungsten at 5600K, while drawing only 36 watts of power. It offers a brightness of 2550 lux at 3 feet. Using ID500-v2 LED lights will lower your electrical bill while keeping you up and running—without tripping circuit breakers.
The attached barn doors and optional Anton Bauer or Sony V-mount battery plates give you versatility and ease of mounting, with a completely outfitted unit weighing an easy-to-manage 5.8 lb. The unique shape of these new lights makes them ideal for studios or spaces with low ceilings. In addition, once you've mounted a unit in the grid, the included wireless remote will come in handy. With the remote, you have control over the light's power and dimming capabilities. The lamps last thousands of hours, which translates to minimal maintenance.
What sets the ID500-v2 apart from many of the LED lights in the marketplace is the well integrated touch screen control panel mentioned earlier. Located on the back of the unit, the touch screen offers 0-100 % dimming in 100 steps. The dimming of the light, from the panel or with the remote control, is smooth and seamless. New LED bulb technology developed by ikan is another positive and unique aspect of these lights. The overall accuracy and consistency of the color temperature creates a more pleasing quality, especially noticeable with skin tones.
The full kit, ID500-v2 3-Point Light Kit, is an excellent choice for a small studio or shooting interviews on location. In addition to the three LED lights, the kit contains three lightweight (3.6 lb each) but sturdy stands, light bags, power cords and wireless remote controls, in addition to a light-stand bag. Again, one of the big advantages of LED lighting is the small size and light weight, a definite plus if you are doing multiple setups.
The more powerful of ikan's two new arrivals, ID1000-v2 1X1' LED Studio Light with Touch Screen Dimming, is a near replica of the ID500-v2, the exceptions being its Tungsten equivalent 750W output and 3200 lux brightness at 3 feet. With the added strength comes an extra three pounds, bringing this unit in at 8.8 lb, still easy enough to maneuver using the conveniently integrated handle. Both lights come with a multi-voltage power supply for worldwide use.
If you are lighting larger areas, the ID1000-v2 1X1' LED 3-Point Light Kit, will serve you well. Along with the heads, stands, carrying cases and multi-voltage power supply, there is a remote control for each light.
By designing these two new LED lights with touch screen control panels, ikan has taken another step to solidify its position as an innovator in the field of studio lighting. To take the next step toward buying or finding out more about these products, please contact a lighting sales professional on the phone at 1-800-606-6969, stop by the B&H SuperStore in New York or engage in a Live Chat online.

Dear International Women's Day – It's Time for a Makeover
Guest blog from Barb Stegemann
Barbara Stegemann's entrepreneurial vision was formed after her best friend was severely wounded in Afghanistan. Understanding that supporting Afghanistan's economy was a key way to help build stability for its people, Barbara created The 7 Virtues Beauty Inc., a company that sources organic oils from Afghanistan, Haiti, and other countries experiencing turmoil, to encourage change and reverse issues of war and poverty. Although Barbara addresses complex global issues, she uses humour to explain in simple terms how individuals can effect change both at home and worlds away. Barbara was a nominee for Chatelaine's Women of the Year 2011 entrepreneur award and recently received the"Women Innovators" Award from the US State Department.
Sandwiched plainly between Oscar tweets on red carpet glamour and Toronto's Fashion week, there is this day that deserves thunderous applause and mass twitter love by Canadian Women – It's International Women's Day. When you are competing with the glitz and glamour of Hollywood and the runway, this day that celebrates our political, economic and social triumphs is way overdue for a makeover. March 8th it's time to express your true beauty.
Less than one hundred years ago women were not allowed to vote and weren't considered citizens….(insert record scratch here). Many girls of today say they can't connect with this day because they were born with these rights in North America.
The girls of today have new and very real concerns that are domestic and international in scope and they want to express it their way. This is a message Canada's Minister responsible for the Status of Women shared with me at the first ever APEC Women and the Economy summit last fall and she listened to those young women far and wide and together they took action to make possible the very first International Day of the Girl Child which will be held on October 11, 2012. (Insert applause!)
Minister Ambrose has been a huge champion of women and girls across Canada. She has been steadfast in the Government of Canada's commitment to end violence committed in the "name of honour" against women and girls. This is the same Minister who, this Fall, launched a call for proposals for projects to address violence against women and girls on university and college campuses. This week, during International Women's week, she announced the results of a call for proposals that addressed issues of violence and economic security affecting women and girls living in rural and remote communities across Canada. Fitting for the theme of international women's week which is "Strong Women, Strong Canada – Women in Rural, Remote and Northern Communities – Key to Canada's Economic Prosperity".
And yes, she is a beautiful, smart and successful women who is also cool to boot!
So back to March 8th. I choose Michelangelo to give our day a makeover. One of the world's greatest artists and philosophers could teach Karl Lagerfield a lesson or two. Michelangelo taught of a beauty message that could end wife battery, a problem that costs us over $6 billion a year. He would share a mighty message that would ensure we did not lose our young women to eating disorders, bullying or prostitution. His power message for our makeover is, "Beauty is expression over form". And "expression" is your power and your dignity. Never hand it over and never take it from another, and that is your true beauty. While "form" is dated by eras, and is not our true beauty. If we believed our beauty was simply form, then if you were born in the twiggy era, you would have to be skinny to be considered beautiful. However, if you were born during the renaissance, you would need to be voluptuous to be considered the beauty of the day.
Michelangelo said beauty is expression over form. Expression is timeless, classic and never changes. If Michelangelo were here today he would love Adele's voice for the power of expression in it. Her form would not even be on his radar. Expression is your power and your dignity. If we taught our girls and ourselves as women and came to believe through the daily practice of living this philosophy that your power and your dignity is your true beauty, never hand it over and never strip another of theirs, even if you don't agree, then we would all get to a good place.
Today Canada has three female premiers and the world has 19 female presidents and Prime Ministers. We live in a world that is seeing women in leadership breaking records. It's a world of firsts for women. In 2009, Icelandic Voters chose Jóhanna Sigurdardóttir as their Prime Minister after the economic crisis of 2008. Her government passed same sex legislation and she became the World's first lesbian world leader. And Mary McAleese was the first female president to directly succeed another female president. And Meryl Streep won a best actress Oscar for Iron Lady!
Alas, it remains an illogical world we live in. Women own the voting power at 52%. If we held hands and voted in the same direction, entire governments would rise and fall at our collective voting power. Yet we still only have 20% representation in government by women. We own the buying power. By the year 2020 two thirds of the world's buying power will be in the hands of women. Yet we still have issues of war and poverty in the world. This International Women's Day, let's encourage women to create new ways to harness our untapped voting and buying power to leave a more beautiful world than we found. Beauty is your power and your dignity March 8th.

In a perfect world, no one would eat eggs. But until then, every step toward a more humane life for egg-laying hens is a step in the right direction. The Humane Society of the United States is leading the way, and by taking part in its Cage-Free Campus campaign, you can help.
HSUS persuades companies and schools to stop buying eggs that have been produced in battery cages, and it has seen great success with corporate giants like Google, AOL, Whole Foods, and Wild Oats. (Trader Joe's has at least gone cage-free for the eggs it sells under its store label, while Ben & Jerry's hasn't budged an inch with regard to its U.S. ice cream.) As far as colleges go, Yale, Tufts, Vassar, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Dartmouth, among others, have made the switch to cage-free in their dining halls. But a lot of schools still haven't, and yours might be one of them.
Getting your school to go cage-free might seem like a daunting task, but Josh Balk, the outreach coordinator of HSUS's Factory Farming Campaign, can help you make it happen. Contact him for articles on going cage-free, the most effective arguments to use when lobbying cafeteria management, tips on how to hold successful meetings, and contact information for nearby providers of cage-free eggs.
So help the hens by getting your university to go cage-free. Josh Balk can be reached at 301-721-6419 and email@example.com.

Battery cages are the worst confinement devices in factory farming today. Congratulations to all of the students who worked with HSUS to have their schools end their use of battery eggs. I hope there's more to come!

If in a perfect world, no one would eat eggs, then let's create that world. Imagine the good that would come (to all animals) from helping colleges to develop vegan cuisine. Instead, this campaign simply asks college students to spend their dining dollars on higher-priced, niche-market eggs.
How does one distinguish between HSUS's campaign and that of farmers who wish to profit from a "value-added" product: "You are also getting into a market which has assured growth; it is forecast to take 40-50% of the market by 2012."
This issue is addressed in detail in Capers in the Churchyard (reviewed here yesterday), which reminds us that there are no standards defining "cage-free" and even if there were, more space for domesticated animals trade-off with habitat for free-living animals. "From both an animal-rights and an environmental perspective, it makes no sense to ask for bigger ranges for animals no one should eat."

Alexon #
Noah, I sympathize with your view. It's the perennial debate over whether half-measures are better or worse than no measures at all. But I think that, realistically, most of this country will eat eggs for a very long time into the future. So we might as well lessen the harm that will be done (while still pushing to reduce egg consumption overall).
Further, I think the more we can get people to think about the origin of their food, the better off the animals are in the long run.
I agree that we need to be careful to ensure that the eggs bought are from truly pastured hens, clucking around outside, not just pseudo-cage-free hens. But that's an accountability issue that can be overcome be knowing the source, not an inherent flaw in the idea.
Comment by
Roseann Marullion #
I understand your frustration, Noah. I'd love for animals not to be used for food or food production either. But the world just isn't going to go vegan overnight, so why should hundreds of millions of birds continue to suffer the horrors that accompany battery cages? I think we should alleviate any suffering that we can.
By the way, many schools, like NYU, offer daily vegan options and even feature completely vegan feasts each month (www.campusdish.com/en-US/eCampus1/NYU/VegetarianVegan). It's not everything, but it's a start.
Comment by
Toddon #
It's completely unrealistic to believe that colleges are going to completely end their use of eggs. The only question is whether it's better that the eggs come from hens confined in battery cages, or they come from hens who were able to walk around.
Of course cage-free farms aren?t ideal (which is why I?m vegan), however at least the hens can walk on solid ground, flap their wings, and lay their eggs in a nest – actions all prohibited by battery cages. There are 300 million egg-laying hens confined in battery cages in this country. Before everyone goes vegan, isn?t better that those hens endure less suffering?
I believe that promoting veganism is extremely important and I do it regularly. However, so is waging campaigns to ban the very worst factory farming abuses. I think the following essay by Vegan Outreach is perfect in explaining why vegans should support these types of campaigns:

It's the perennial debate over whether half-measures are better or worse than no measures at all.
If you believe that is the debate, then I can understand your confusion. Thankfully the choice is not between doing nothing or pushing for specialty eggs. The choice is really between creating a vegan world or facilitating the exploitation of animals.
I agree that the world isn't going to go vegan overnight. But, if the animal rights movement is to succeed, the world will, in fact, have to go vegan. If we in the movement believe that this is "unrealistic," then what hope does the animal rights movement have?
We must start building a vegan world now. That is what veganism and promoting it is about. Veganism is not about "lessening harm" or "reducing suffering." It is the revolutionary enactment of animal rights in the world today.
We don't have to sit around and wait for the world to change. We ourselves are the powerful people responsible for changing the world. That change is an incremental process. There will not come a day when all of the cage doors fly open magically. We have to build that world step by step.
The Vegan Outreach article tries to misappropriate the struggle for the abolition of slavery, but they miss the point. When the abolitionists asked for the end of slavery, they did not try to reform it. They did not push for better conditions of the slaves. That was what the slave owners did in an attempt to pacify the public. But here in the animal rights movement, we take on the role of exploiter and do it ourselves. We can do better.

I think this campaign for cage-free eggs will do good things for chickens fast, so I'm in favor of it. The problem I have as a vegan activist/ educator is that the consumption of cage-free eggs makes people become self-righteous bourgeois jerks.
It's really annoying to be doing vegan outreach and have some selfish rich person (who could afford to eat anything he wanted) smugly tell me it's okay that he eats eggs because the eggs he eats are cage-free. I always remind them that cage-free eggs are still a product of animal exploitation, inevitable cruelty, and that those hens are still being sent to slaughterhouses once they're spent. Still, it's annoying to have to unteach folks half-truths that have learned from animal welfare campaigns.
Of course, the HSUS and other welfarist groups never told these people that eating cage-free eggs is morally neutral territory. In fact, the HSUS has been actively advocating a vegan diet for at least a year now. It's just that people put that filter up and only hear what they wanna hear or what's easy to hear. I just wonder if the cage-free campaign makes it harder for them to hear that the real issue is that they need to choose veganism.
I think the only solution is to publicly and loudly shame people who eat cage-free eggs. The new slogan for cage-free eggs should be "Cage-Free: The breakfast of self-deluded, half-assed punks everywhere!" Shame is generally the state of mind you want people to be in because it's so motivating. Eventually they'll take a bold step and do the right thing. No?
Okay, I'm kidding and then I'm not. Cage-free eggs are for losers, but in some cases they are the choice of compassionate losers who either don't have enough info to know that going vegan is the thing to do or they just aren't there yet. It's our job as advocates to sort of swallow our bile and help them go vegan. Try making a compliment sandwich: Applaude their good intentions of helping animals, let them know that cage-free eggs aren't all they're cracked up to be, and finally tell them they can help animals even more by dropping eggs and adding hen-friendly foods like tofu scramble and vegan cupcakes to their diet. Of course, this only works if they're not self-righeous bbourgeois jerks who were eating cage-free eggs just to throw money at a problem they had no intention of really working to alleviate. But hey, it's worth a shot.

Witness the Ben & Jerry's campaign. I'm still trying to wrap my head around that one. If HSUS mounts a campaign against one ingredient in ice cream what message does that send about the rest of the product? Our silence is complicity.
HSUS doesn't advocate veganism (veganism is more than a diet). They advocate "vegetarian eating" in the context of "reducing, refining, and replacing" eating animals. This waters down revolutionary veganism (as described above) into a welfarist tactic.
An organization with the kind of resources that it has — if it were to put veganism front and center — could do a lot of good, both in the immediate short term by reducing animal consumption, and in the long run in terms of building a vegan world. But if they were to do that, they fear they would alienate their cat and dog donor base, and then they wouldn't have so many resources. So they choose welfarism. They get modest reforms that they (and industry) can claim as victories, and the donations keep rolling in. But fundamental change? That's not even on the agenda. That pattern is typical of the non-profit industrial complex.

Anyone promoting a vegan agenda can also alienate people quickly and thoroughly. People I go out to restaurants with smirk and remark to me that I follow veganism like a "religion." And I'll even agree that scrambled tofu is obviously different from scrambled eggs; most "vegan equivalent" foods are equivalent but not the same as the foods they're supposed to replace. People can feel cheated if they get carob expecting chocolate, only to find that it's not chocolate.
I find it unfortunate and painful that we have to win people over gradually, but if you live in the world, you always have people making smug asides about how things are; last week at the Candle Cafe, my (73-year-old omnivore) mother saw the sign "Friends don't let friends eat meat" and said, "That's not right; if you're really a friend, you'll let them do what they want."
Most people feel that animal products are necessary; I was at Kiehl's Pharmacy last week and tried to explain to a saleswoman there that I don't use lanolin because it comes from wool, and she said, "Don't the sheep need a haircut sometimes?" This is the mentality that we're up against, and we're moving at a glacial pace: three steps forward, two steps back.

There is no reason why one can't support the concept of improving conditions, while simultaneously working toward abolition. I am a vegan and an abolitionist, but I am also a realist. Having worked as a nurse for over 25 years, and being an animal activist since the early 80's, I have learned quite a bit about human nature. Human defense mechanisms are extraordinarily strong. People have the ability to remain willfully ignorant regardless of the facts they are presented with. The more extreme the concepts are and the more further away from their current practices (which often involves eating meat 3 times a day), the more likely (and quickly) they are to reject them. Once you have lost someone, it's very hard, if not impossible, to recapture their attention/consideration. With every success (no matter how seemingly small), the public is exposed to the issues. This gradually erodes pre-conceived notions and provides us the opportunity to nurture compassion in a way that we will not alienate, and therefore LOSE the public.
There is no reason we cannot promote veganism as the ultimate goal while pushing for improvements for the animals suffering in the system currently.
Additionally, we don't all have to be concentrating on the same thing or coming from the same angle to be effective. Since people differ so greatly, we should be using any and all approaches that we find effective.
Even if we chose to take different routes to our ultimate goal of abolition, we should be respecting and supporting each other, and working together whenever possible.

Also, to say HSUS is not promoting veganism is not true.
Here is their site promoting "vegetarianism":
They are actually advocating veganism, just calling it vegetarianism so as not to scare away/turn off the public.
To most average Americans the concept of veganism is alien, so HSUS uses a softer term they are more likely to respond to.
Other groups use this tactic (which I think is brilliant). The Peaceful Prairie Sanctuary advertises a "Vegetarian Starter Kit" http://www.peacefulprairie.org/veg_guide.html

Hi all,
I appreciate the work that all people who are protecting animals are doing. My comments are not meant to disparage at all anyone personally, but to be critical of certain tactics and to a much lesser extent, be critical of a well intentioned thinking that may just be unaware of some serious and real concerns or a bit clouded by frustration or anxiety that changes are not progressing as fast as one would like.
The dangers with animal rights activists changing to supporting welfare campaigns are several, I'll touch on a few here for starters; 1) the a) moral premise and b) question is turned from a) animals are deserving of respect and compassion and b) shouldn't animals not be treated like property? to a) the concern for animals' fundamental interests isn't so important as long as animals are treated somewhat better, and b) now that chickens are confined in enclosures instead of cages, why don't you just carry on eating eggs?.
2) the animal rights movement begins to not have a cohesive message of the very foundation of what our movement is supposed to stand for — the protection of animals' interests today and tomorrow. By name, ethical principles, and goals alike — if we have no consistency, then we have lost a huge part of our foundation already. 3) people who are ostensibly being told that it's okay to eat animals and their by-products as long as the animals are treated somewhat better (all the while these same animals are being quikly fattened for the kill) by the very people who are supposed to fight exclusively for their interests and for the future generations of animals' interests, are apt to feel exceptionally comfortable eating these products because of this. 4) there's no evidence that welfare campaigns by themselves will consistently lead to rights' goals and being that activists and organizations' time and resources are so pressing, short, and precious….well, this danger seems so obvious. 5) I'm convinced that welfare killing will be codified into law and once this occurs then it will be that much more difficult for the AR community to demand the liberation of such animals because the industry is already 'the good guy' because they capitulated to the demands of animal rights people and besides, we'd be seen by many perhaps as being disingenuous because if welfare modifications wasn't our intent in the first place, then what's 'up our sleaves' next.
p.s. please don't miss the September 2006 issue of Satya….it is very important for a further understanding of some of the concerns raised above

HSUS are total hypocrites they ask to abolish ALL ANIMAL AGRICULTURE yet they buy stocks in companies that sell meat.The HSUS, which is not affiliated with local humane societies or animal shelters, was instrumental in passing California?s Proposition 2 in the 2008 elections, which added new regulations to the treatment of egg-laying hens, gestating sows and veal calves.
The HSUS says it has stock in 38 food-related companies:
Bob EvansBrinker InternationalBurger King Holdings Inc.Career Education Corp. (Le Cordon Bleu)Carnival CorporationCal-Maine Foods IncCampbell SoupThe Cheesecake FactoryConAgra Foods Inc.Costco Wholesale CorpCracker Barrel Old Country StoreDenny?s Corp.DineEquity Inc.Domino?s Pizza Inc.Einstein Noah Restaurant GroupGeneral Mills, Inc.Hain Celestial Group (Plainville Turkey Farm)Jack in the BoxKellogg?sKraft Foods, Inc.Krispy KremeKroger Co.McDonald?s Corp.P.F.

Tasty Baking CompanyTim Horton?s, Inc.Tyson Foods Inc. Wal-Mart Stores Inc.Wendy?s/Arby?s Group Inc.Winn-Dixie
Look at the fine generous job that the HSUS does through their wonderful donations to help animals they take in $86,000,000.00 That is 86 million dollars of that they spent a grand total of _____________ on direct animal care. Not sure how much they spent check their income tax form says it very clearly.
I will not tell you how much see for your self.
As far as eating eggs go no matter how eggs are produced they are an animal product so are all you vegans hypocrites .

Parathyroid Glands
Parathyroid Glands
Parathyroid glands are small peas sized glands of the endocrine system which are located behind the thyroid. Occasionally the parathyroid glands are located in unusual places (ectopic locations) such as inside the thyroid gland, in the chest, in the thymus gland or near the jaw. Most people have four parathyroid glands but occasionally a person is born with three or five of them.
Functions of the Parathyroid Glands
The parathyroid glands are separate from the thyroid gland and produce parathyroid (PTH) hormone, parathyroid hormone that regulates the level of calcium and phosphorous in the blood. Calcium is important to good bone health as well as for the function of most cells in the body including nerve and muscle cells. Phosphorous is a mineral important to all the body's tissues. Parathyroid hormone regulates release of calcium from the bone, the excretion of calcium and phosphorous in the urine and the absorption of calcium from the intestines.
When the blood calcium falls, the parathyroid gland increases the amount of parathyroid hormone released in turn increasing the calcium to maintain a very fine balance. The single major disease of parathyroid glands is over activity of one or more of the parathyroids which make too much parathyroid hormone causing hypercalcemia, a potentially serious calcium imbalance. This disease is called hyperparathyroidism.
The only role of the parathyroid in the human body is to regulate the levels of calcium in the bloodstream. Indirectly, therefore, the parathyroid glands, working in unison in a normal situation, determine the strength and integrity of the bones. Overactive parathyroid glands can cause a number of symptoms most common of which are Osteoporosis or Osteopenia. This occurs when too much calcium is leached from the bones.

Rachel G. Kleit
Seattle Campus
Examines the values of social justice that motivate action in the public arena; thinks about how those values create concerns and solutions; and explores issues of equity and liberty, of balancing the rights of the individual, the common good, and redistribution.
Class description
This class delves into the values of social justice that motivate action (or reaction or protest) in the public arena. Together, we will think through what we mean by social justice and how values around social justice motivate concerns about problems and solutions in the public arena. Specifically we are concerned about issues of equity and liberty, of balancing the rights of the individual, the common good, and redistribution.
We will begin by reading foundational thinkers about social justice and action, and move to considering cases where ideas about social justices are fundamental bases for action. Each class session focuses on a specific historic or current policy situation, using both domestic and international examples across a breadth of policy areas. This class meets the Evans Schools values restricted elective requirement.
Student learning goals
discuss the major values at stake in varied policy areas, especially when there are conflicts about courses of action;
assess how the major theories of social justice lend insight into contemporary policy problems;
trace the commonalities and conflicts between political philosophy and social movement perspectives on social justice;
analyze diverse policy domains to unearth the varied social justice problems and values that arise;
evaluate our own perspectives and values with regard to social justice, with the goal of integrating moral issues into our own policy and management decision making.

GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA - Advances in genetics and traits promise to accelerate yield increases in U.S. corn and soybeans. Some even say yields will double by 2030. But what's often missing from the conversation is the critical role of soils.
Soil scientists remind us that even the most elite crop varieties need well-managed soils to provide the nutrients and water essential for high yields.
"U.S. corn and soybean farmers already are feeding whole nations," says Jennifer Shaw, head of sustainability with Syngenta. "As we coax even more yield from every acre, soil health will become just as important as crop health in our drive to double food, feed and fiber production."
Soils in the Corn Belt are among the world's most productive, but they are degrading at a rate that will affect productivity unless we reverse the trend, points out Kendall Lamkey, agronomy chair with Iowa State University. Despite major gains in soil conservation, Iowa leads the nation in soil loss by water. Illinois is a close second.
"It's hard to really appreciate just how good our ground is until you've seen farmers in developing countries trying to grow a crop in soil that has been severely eroded and depleted of organic matter," says Lamkey. "What we have is a very precious natural resource that needs to be maintained and nurtured so that it can keep producing at the levels we expect."
Raising the bar
Saving soil, toil and oil was a popular rallying cry of the 1980s conservation tillage movement. Syngenta legacy companies played a major role, helping to replace tillage with weed control technologies like Gramoxone Inteon(R) herbicide and supporting creation of the Conservation Technology Information Center (CTIC).
"The goal of programs like T by 2000 was to reduce soil erosion to a level where the rate of soil loss would be equal to or less than the rate of soil replacement," says Syngenta's Shaw. "Now the focus has expanded from saving soil to improving soil. We need the foundation of a healthy soil to bring plant potential to life."
To help raise awareness of soil's role in feeding the world, Syngenta recently co-sponsored "Dig It! The Secrets of Soil," an exhibit at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. In the field, Syngenta continues to champion conservation tillage through advances in genetics, traits and crop protection, as well as stewardship of glyphosate-tolerant technology.
"Glyphosate gives us a very cost-efficient way to meet the challenge of weed control with low or no tillage, but the emergence of glyphosate-resistant weeds threatens to take this very valuable tool away from us," says Chuck Foresman, manager of weed resistance strategies with Syngenta. Some farmers in the South are reverting back to tillage as the only available alternative for controlling glyphosate-resistant horseweed and Palmer amaranth.
"This is the worst-case scenario and it's exactly what we're trying to avoid with our Resistance Fighter(TM) program," says Foresman. "The goal is to keep glyphosate-tolerant technology viable through the use of Resistance Fighter brands that incorporate multiple modes of action." These include Gramoxone Inteon across all row crops at burndown and Halex(R) GT, Lumax(R) and Lexar(R) herbicides for corn; Prefix(R) , Boundary(R) and Flexstar(R) GT herbicides for soybeans; and Reflex(R) and Sequence(R) herbicides for cotton.
Without management changes, Foresman says around 39 million row crop acres could be infested with glyphosate resistant weeds by 2013, leading to increased tillage and soil loss. (See www.resistancefighter.com for more information.)
Building organic matter
"Anytime soil moves, I call it dirt because we lose the organic matter and micro-organisms that make soil a living, breathing, and very productive natural resource," says Lamkey.
Tillage also takes a toll on organic matter in flat ground, points out Jerry Hatfield, director of the National Laboratory for Agriculture and the Environment.
Every time we till the soil, we release carbon and lose organic matter, he explains. To support the yield potential of advanced traits and genetics, soil advocates recommend reducing or eliminating tillage to maximize carbon storage.
"Carbon may be bad for the atmosphere, but it's very good for our soils," explains Hatfield. "It's the major ingredient in organic matter and the glue that holds soil together and makes it work better."
Organic matter absorbs up to six times its weight in water and holds up to five times more nitrogen than clay. It improves water infiltration and holding capacity, encourages root growth, and minimizes yield reductions from short-term weather extremes, like heat, drought or driving rain.
"Improving water infiltration is especially important in the Midwest because weather patterns here are trending to less frequent, but more intensive, rainfall events," notes Hatfield. Through a combination of carbon management practices, including conservation tillage, he says growers can improve crop productivity within three to five years.

Exclusive: CodeAssure 2.0 seeks out security holes in your software
Code-combing suite finds problems easily but lacks support for multiple languages
The regular release of software patches to protect applications from hackers suggests that safety from malicious attacks remains a difficult and elusive goal. Part of the problem is that security is not wired into software developers' thinking the same way quality and usability are. Application security only emerged as a key issue once internal applications were exposed via the Web to all passers-by, including crackers and miscreants.
As a result, developers are playing catch up. Fortunately, an emerging class of tools helps them comb through old code and monitor new projects for programming constructs that allow a cracker to take control of the software.
Three startups provide enterprise-class tools of this kind: Secure Software, Fortify Software, and Ounce Labs, which declined to participate in a review. Other point products, such as Compuware's DevPartner Security Checker, also specialize in subsets of this functionality.
I took a look at Secure Software's CodeAssure Suite 2.0. The Suite consists of a Workbench, which performs the analysis; a Management Center, which tracks a project's security strength; and the Integrator module, which ties CodeAssure to QA and test products. The suite analyzes large code bases, finds security issues, and generates detailed reports of its findings with user-selectable filters.
CodeAssure is designed to run frequently so developers can catch all infelicities right away. The management console makes it easy for project leads and senior managers to verify that this resolution is in fact occurring.
I found CodeAssure 2.0 top-notch at discovering problems, but not as fully featured as the Fortify Source Code Analysis suite. An aggressive schedule of releases, however, should close some of that gap
during the next six to nine months.
The heart of CodeAssure 2.0 is the Workbench, which takes the form of an Eclipse plug-in. If you don't have Eclipse, the installer will load a copy of the IDE onto your disk and then set up the plug-in.
To analyze a code base, you simply create a new project, import the code, and click the menu tab for analysis. The Workbench uses a compiler front end to step through the source code, generates an internal representation of the program, and then scours that data for security holes.
CodeAssure did an outstanding job of finding possible sources of security problems — better than any package I've seen. When it finds a questionable construct, it categorizes it by severity, records its location, and places this information in a tabular format in an Eclipse window. From here a developer clicks on the error and goes directly to the offending line. A panel in the IDE's upper right corner explains the problem and suggests a remedy.
You can configure this process to remove "false positives," items known to be safe but that appear to the Workbench as security problems. Multiple runs of CodeAssure are stored and accessed individually, and a PDF report is generated with a single mouse click. The reports are elegant and clean and the Workbench is simple to use, although it doesn't provide the means to compare results from two separate runs.
Part of the value of using packages such as CodeAssure is the education they provide developers. To this end, the product provides a detailed explanation of problems it catches and suggestions on how best to correct them.
I found CodeAssure's suggestions less than completely helpful, however. Sometimes they were out of sync with the actual error; at other times, they used terminology likely to be unfamiliar to a programmer unschooled in security issues. For example, is the suggestion to use "canary style bounds checking" meaningful without specific training?
Otherwise, the Workbench was intuitive and provided excellent analysis of security holes, but it had limitations. The most conspicuous of these is its lack of language support. The prerelease of version 2.0 I examined had support only for Java and C -- despite documents contending that the product also supports C++. (Secure Software expects to support C++ in a release later this year.)
Another limitation is Workbench's format: It's available only as a plug-in to Eclipse. This environment is fine for Java developers, but it will be unfamiliar to users of Microsoft Visual Studio .Net.
Management Center
The CodeAssure Management Center is a dashboard that tracks the status and progress of projects. Its attractive display shows where programs stand in terms of the number and severity of issues and the remediation trends.
The dashboard also allows a manager to categorize projects, error types, and the nature of an application so reports correctly highlight the urgency and the sensitivity of a specific security issue. Metrics providing data on security policy compliance are also available.
The Management Console is accessed via a Web browser. Installation requires a DBMS (Oracle, IBM DB2, or Microsoft SQL Server) and an Apache Tomcat container. It's a step that can be thorny, and it generally requires that Secure Software provide a technician to perform the installation and configuration.
This design (and the expense it entails) seems needless: The console is a defining example of an application that should use an embedded database because it is the only consumer of the data it generates.
Money matters
CodeAssure Suite 2.0 is superb at finding security problems, and it found many "minor" problems missed by other programs. These problems might appear minor at first, but they represent potential security or reliability issues. I was impressed.
Nevertheless, I must complain about the pricing, which starts at no less than $48,000 per year. That's a hefty sum for covering 10 developers, the minimum number of seats that can be ordered.
CodeAssure needs to catch up with competitors that support C/C++, Java, SQL, and JSPs so it can track data that moves across software modules that use these languages. It also needs to provide plug-ins for Visual Studio .Net and Borland IDEs, and the documentation for both the Management Center and Workbench should be improved. With those pieces in place, CodeAssure will be a more well-rounded development tool.

Connecting to the server has been temporarily disabled with Admin Mode Off
Technote (troubleshooting)
Received BMXAA3851E even though admin mode is NOT on
Cannot log into Maximo
Another thing that can cause this issue other then Admin Mode being on, is the database server running out of space. This causes the insert into logintracking to fail on the initial attempt and prompts you with the following message.
BMXAA3851E: Connecting to the server has been temporarily disabled
Diagnosing the problem
To see if database server space is an issue review your WebSphere system out logs for the following message after trying to log in.
"0000003c SystemOut O 09 Jul 2012 15:55:50:032 [ERROR] BMXAA4211E - Database error number 1105 has occurred when operating on LOGINTRACKING LOGINTRACKINGID=631,598.
[MAXIMO]Could not allocate space for object 'dbo.logintracking'.'logintracking_ndx' in database 'MAXIMO' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full. Create disk space by deleting unneeded files, dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup."
Resolving the problem
To resolve this issue follow the steps in the error message.
1. Check your Database Server's disk space, if it is full clear up enough space to allow for growth of the database.
2. If there enough disk space on the server you will want to check your PRIMARY file group and ensure the data and log files are set for auto growth

Ashton Kutcher isn't fooling magazine editors
Ashton Kutcher's new show Pop Fiction has "celebrities" pulling pranks on the media. Paris Hilton pretended to be spiritual with a monk and Avril Lavigne wore a fake belly. However tabloid editors aren't buying it and see right through the shenanigans of this assclownius supremus. Here's some quotes from NY Daily News:
"There's nothing these people do that we don't know about before they get there. We know everything. Ninety percent of their lives are put together by other people. It's almost like these celebs have LoJack. It's easy to track them. "
Star mag ran a picture of Paris and her "guru," but reported that it was a stunt. "We never took it seriously," Star editor in chief Candace Trunzo tells us. "After a while, you learn what smells." Kutcher's crusade for truth won't affect Star's coverage of Kutcher and his wife, Demi Moore, Trunzo says. "He's only semi-interesting," she says. "He doesn't sell a lot of mags."
"It's a typical conceited celebrity," says a mag insider. "Live a life, man. Grow up. Go act. If a celeb has a full week, then they have way too much time on their hands."
"Go act." Ashton Kutcher – acting! LMFAO! That's goddamn hilarious. Seriously, how do you follow that? My hat's off to you, sir. *dead rabbit falls out* Captain Wigglenose?

Help for anger at mom for hiding feelings?
- Question from Simone: I know it's irrational and unfair, but I can't help feeling a little angry with my mom, who's dealing with breast cancer. I so want to help her, but she just keeps saying everything's okay, when sometimes I can see she's been crying, or is in pain or really tired. What can I do?
Answers -
Rosalind Kleban, L.C.S.W.
The only thing that you can do is to assure your Mom that you're there to help her, and that you love and care for her. And maybe this is a time when she doesn't have to feel that she has to protect you, and that all energy is going to be devoted to taking care of her.
On the other hand, what your mother is doing is very strong and protective. As your mother, she has always taken care of you. She wants to continue in her caregiver role, and by telling you that she's just fine, she's also talking to herself and trying to give herself a boost. You need to let her do what she's most comfortable doing.
The Ask-the-Expert Online Conference called Family and Loved Ones featured Rosalind Kleban, L.C.S.W., author Marc Silver, and moderator Marisa Weiss, M.D. answering your questions about the issues surrounding family members and caregivers living with and caring for women affected by breast cancer.

I found this discussion of RG III's race revolting.
ESPN's Rob Parker is a foolish man. A man of color and of foolish statements.
The LA Times reported Rob Parker as saying on TV:
"Is he a brother, or is he a cornball brother?" Parker asked.
His inquiry continued.
"He's black, he kind of does his thing, but he's not really down with the cause; he's not one of us," Parker said. "He's kind of black, but he's not really the kind of guy you want to hang out with 'cause he's off to something else."
Parker apparently questioned Griffin's race because the Washington Redskins' star is engaged to a white woman and is rumored to be a Republican."
What a foolish, unacceptable, downright mean and base thing for Rob Parker to say about RG III - or anyopne else for that matter.
What? it's OK for a loudmouth commentator to be a bigot simply because he or she is a person of color? To judge people by the color of their skin rather than the content of their character?
No, not in this country.
Embedded within the LA Times article is the actual video.
RG III is a great example to many young kids, black and white. Not black OR white. For individuals and couples of any color.
And that's the way it should be.

Last weekend, we were reaching for the sun block. This weekend, we'll be reaching for sweaters. Maybe even an umbrella.
A coastal eddy formed, sending cool, moist air ashore, causing the marine layer to become thick. The clouds have since burned off, in most areas. But the National Weather Service says there's a 30-50 percent chance that light rain will fall on Sunday night, as a low pressure system moves through Southern California. Sunday's temperatures will be about 5 degrees below normal, more so in some areas. Forecasters also have issued a high wind warning for the local mountains and passes. The winds could blow 25-35 mph, with gusts to 65 mph, the weather service says.
A weather service advisory says, "The drizzle may turn to light rain showers west of the mountains Sunday night through Tuesday morning, before the system moves east. High wind conditions are possible through the passes and into the deserts Sunday afternoon through Monday."

Day 51.
Brunch time again! Yay! This is a CSA box-inspired brunch. Rutabagas!
Rutabaga Puffs
2 C cooked, mashed rutabaga
1 C soft bread crumbs
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 C milk
1 egg
1 Tbsp. butter or margarine
The Results
Yum. Most recipes have spices included like ginger, cinnamon, etc., but I went for the blank slate and figured everyone could add what they want. So yummy and it's sort of like a mild sweet potato. I've not had rutabagas before and I really like them.
What are you having for Sunday Brunch, Breakfast or Lunch?

Thanks to eveyone that would like to help.
My husband and I recenlty sold our house and bought a parcel of land. We're currently renting a place while are building a very, small cabin to live in for now and eventually (hopefully) will build a larger house. It's not really finished yet, but we're moving in next week anyway.
We'll be living in the cabin for at least a couple of years. My sewing area will probably be up in the loft in a long, narrow space, that's about 15' X 6, which runs along the side of the 1/2 wall, loft railing. I have a portable 403A Singer and a couple of treadles, one which can be put into a new table. Of course I have a ton of supplies and a need for table space. I'd love any kind of suggestions on how to organize my small space.
