I hope you're all taking advantage of Backstage.com's Working Actor message board. It's a truly valuable tool, connecting actors at various career levels in a format that facilitates sharing not only questions and answers but also advice, opinions, information, interesting stories, and even some philosophy. As the board's moderator I'm there frequently, and I've been surprised again and again by both the variety of topics and the spectrum of responses. And while things occasionally deteriorate into the kind of snipefest that, sadly, seems to breed with troubling frequency in the swamps of online anonymity, it is nevertheless a place where you can also find very worthwhile discussion.
A recent thread titled "When do you decide to let go of the 'dream' of acting?" has really got our posters talking. The originator wanted to know, "Have any of you given yourself a set amount of time to start earning decent money off acting?... I am struggling now, and paying my dues. I do not want to pay my dues for the rest of my life. How about you guys?"
The problem with setting a time limit on the pursuit of acting is that damned, ever-present carrot. No matter how badly things are going, it always seems like something could break at any moment. And that sense—real or imagined—keeps a lot of us chasing a dream we might be better served by abandoning.
There's a traditional piece of advice on the subject, and its frequent repetition does nothing to dull its wisdom. It goes like this: If you can be happy doing something else, do it. We say that because the odds of success in professional acting are so mind-bogglingly low, and the indignities so plentiful, that an actor who doesn't feel an absolute need should never put him- or herself through such an ordeal, especially when there are perfectly pleasant nonprofessional alternatives available.
But the flip side is also true. If this is the only profession for you, it's unlikely you'll feel fulfilled in another. As one message board contributor said (somewhat ominously), "It's part of who you are. If you quit acting, it will haunt you for the rest of your life."
Still, at a certain point, if one has failed to progress, maybe it makes sense to do something else, regardless of the disappointment. We each have but one life, and it seems tragic to squander one's years on the unlikely hope of being among the minuscule number who make a living as actors. My favorite post in this particular thread theorizes that the real answer to this question of when to give up lies in the actor's motives for entering the profession in the first place. The fame-and-fortuners leave. The artists stay.
Giving up can be hard—perhaps even harder than an unsuccessful career. But I think the decision is best made while standing at the crossroads rather than based on a pre-designed schedule.

Living inside a PR world-between ethics and spinning
While PR critics state that public relation ethics is an oxymoron, the purpose of this paper is to provide a comparison between good/bad, ethical/unethical public relation practice especially in managing conflict of interest, and to underline the importance of responsibility and reputation in managing crisis. Many PR people argue the concept of spinning, so the paper emphasizes its devastating effects both on public relation practitioner and companys ethics, credibility, image and reputation. The only conclusion to draw from the contradiction between altruism and self-interest and between the interest of the public and the one of the company is recognizing the ethical judgment that helps make a balanced decision in ethical dilemmas.

Our latest edition significantly updates the Guide to Political and Lobbying Activities to include a new Chapter V highlighting the limits on political and lobbying activity by public charities organized and operating under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Additionally, the guide includes several updates on the evolution of the law on so-called "Super PACs" (page I-31). In the two years since the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United, other federal courts and the Federal Election Commission have decided cases and issued advisory opinions that have refined and, in some ways, expanded on the rights recognized in that decision. Independent Expenditure-only committees, or more commonly known as Super PACs, and hybrid PACs are set to impact the 2012 elections at the presidential, House, and Senate levels in tangible ways that political parties and even candidates themselves cannot. This Guide provides an overview of this evolving dynamic.
We are also closely monitoring the Senate version of the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act of 2012 (the "STOCK Act"), which passed the Senate on February 3, 2012 and would amend the Lobbying Disclosure Act to require so-called "political intelligence" firms and consultants to register and file regular reports similar to federal lobbyists. The House-passed version of this legislation does not contain a similar provision. Upon any changes affecting who must register and report under the LDA, we will update this Guide to Political and Lobbying Activities and provide general guidance on our website, www.klgates.com.
This Guide and other political and lobbying activity guidance are available online.
This updated Guide to Political and Lobbying Activities, prepared by K&L Gates, is intended to provide general guidance by highlighting some of the major restrictions on political and lobbying activities at the federal level. This guide focuses on the limitations and restrictions applicable to individuals, corporations, and corporate PACs, including special limitations applicable to corporations organized as public charities under Section 510(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. There are also some special rules for trade associations, which are not discussed in this guide. Similar but separate rules apply to unincorporated entities such as partnerships and their non-connected PACs, which are also not discussed in this guide.
This Ethics Guide is not intended, and should not be relied upon, as legal advice on any particular situation or set of facts. This Ethics Guide is an overview and is not intended to be an exhaustive or detailed analysis of all the relevant law and issues. Many of the areas – particularly the complicated exceptions – are replete with subtle nuances and unclear interpretations. Accordingly, certain issues may require more thorough and specific examination.
Since violations of the ethical restrictions can lead to strained relations, adverse publicity, and even civil or criminal sanctions, caution is strongly advised. Further guidance should be sought if there is any doubt about the application of these restrictions. If you have questions about this Ethics Guide or need political ethics advice, contact K&L Gates at 202.778.9000, or relevant ethics advisors within the executive branch agencies, FEC, or Congress.

The competition first started in 1978 was held for the 37th time and had participants climb 1,576 steps from the ground floor to the observatory of the 86th floor. The women's individual race started at 2000 EST (0100 GMT) sharp while the men started four minutes later. Eleven minutes and 57 seconds later, it was defending champion Australian Suzy Walsham who crossed the finish line first. Walsham has won four times in the past --in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2013-- and set a new record for the race by winning it for the fifth time. In the men's competition, 25-year-old Thorbjorn Ludvigsen came in first with a finishing time of 10 minutes and six seconds. In total 430 stair-climbing athletes from 15 different countries participated in the race. © DailyMotion - Thursday, February 6, 2014

GAME has told VideoGamer.com that it is "constantly evolving" its business and will "continue to provide a relevant and leading proposition" for consumers, regardless of whether next-generation consoles restrict the use of second-hand software.
When asked about how the rumoured pre-owned block may affect its business, a representative for the UK's leading games retailer told us that it does "not yet know what the next generation consoles from Sony and Microsoft will deliver," but that it is "very excited to hear more information as soon as it is announced".
"We are constantly evolving our business," the spokesperson continued, "and will continue to provide a relevant and leading proposition for the UK gaming community."
Last month, rumours suggested that Microsoft's next-generation Xbox "will require an Internet connection in order to function, ruling out a second-hand game market for the platform".
If true, the decision to block pre-owned games could have big repercussions for GAME and other businesses built around the sale of second-hand games software.
And it will almost certainly have an impact on the desirability of the console, too.
Earlier this week, US retailer GameStop warned that "approximately 60 per cent" of customers would not buy a new console if it didn't support pre-owned games.
Microsoft has yet to comment on the issue.

Benefits of Biofuels and Electric Vehicles Questionable
March 2, 2011
Cars remain the primary mode of personal transportation for much of America and account for a large proportion of greenhouse gas emissions. However, promoting electric vehicles like the new Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf could actually cause more harm than the perceived good it provides, says Amy Kaleita, a senior fellow at the Pacific Research Institute.
Both biofuels and electric vehicles are highly incentivized by federal actions; yet, the environmental benefits of both remain questionable. Policymakers must look beyond tailpipe emissions and consider economic sustainability, performance and functionality, and overall environmental health.
Dr. Kaleita's research debunks several myths fueling the push for more biofuels and electric vehicles. It shows:
- Many biofuels, namely those sourced from corn and soybeans, can have significant negative environmental impact.
- Electric cars are only beneficial when the electricity is generated on-board or when the car is charged with electricity generated from no- to low-carbon sources.
- Plug-in hybrids are only cost-competitive and more environmentally sound than other options when they are short-range vehicles charged every 20 miles or less.

A while back, DAP sent us a tube of their new EnergySaver Air Leak & Gap Sealant. It's been sitting on the desk for a while because, well, who cares about sealing their house in the middle of July? Not us, we've got mowing to do. But the seasons do change and here we are. So last week we cut open the tube, prepped a few window casings, and checked out the label to see if there are any specific instructions that go along with the product. Which is exactly where problems started...
Our one complaint with this product is that there is no indication as to what the hell it is. The labeling has zero to tell us about what's really in it. It mentions a water clean-up and there's a little insignia indicating low VOC, but beyond that, the rest of the label has a lot of, 'save energy...save money!' sloganeering. Which is fine, but as conscious homeowners, we'd like to know what we're smearing on our house. And we would never even think of putting some mystery product on a client's house.
So in order to get to the bottom of this, we went to the DAP website and found the itty-bitty-teeny-weeny link to the pdf of the product's MSDS sheet. What we discovered after doing some MSDS side-by-side, is that EnergySaver is nearly identical to DAP's ALEX Painter's Caulk (minus the Ammonia and Stoddard Solvent). With this being the case, we'd have been happy if DAP had added the term 'acrylic-latex caulk' somewhere on the product or something similar. That's all we ask for...not much...just a little guidance.
We're probably a bit odd about wanting to know this information. EnergySaver isn't really aimed at the contractor (it's only available at Wal-Mart), because they're going to go with a product that they're familiar with. But the guy who's just looking to stop the breeze running through his kitchen, probably doesn't care so much, and this product will be fine because it behaves, guess what, just like an acrylic-latex caulk.
EnergySaver is available at Wal-Mart.

I believe that it is an affordable alternative to the seven dollar tube of Mastic to seal hvac duct connections. which these last two winters have been brutally cold in the south which is "heat pump" country. This would not be a problem if all HVAC installers really sealed up their connections properly. Thankfully I've serviced my blower/evap before burnout from attic dust. I hear ya though on your review, like cheap white mixed w some construction glue. gonna try it on my ducts with mesh tape & cheap can spray glue for foil blanket repair on trunks etc. After that I only have to encapsulate my 1945 crawlspace to prevent further rot,lol!

By DAVID GREEN
If the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans finally gets a grocery store, there will be a Morenci connection to the neighborhood's success.
2004 Morenci graduate Rosanna Green-Ballinger was part of a team competing in this year's JP Morgan Chase Community Development Competition. The team beat competitors from colleges around the country to win first place with its project, "Bringing Fresh Food to the Lower Ninth Ward."
The annual competition calls for students to work with nonprofit organizations to develop a real estate project that is feasible, sustainable and helps to build and strengthen the local community.
Ballinger, a University of New Orleans graduate student studying urban and regional planning, worked with three other members from her school who joined forces with students from Louisiana State University and DePaul University in Chicago. Students from each school focussed on a different portion of the project.
DePaul provided the financial data, LSU came through with the architectural renderings, and Ballinger's team focussed on the community development aspect, along with the market analysis.
Second place was won by a team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Washington University in St. Louis. Third place went to a team from The New School in New York City.
Other finalists included a Massachusetts Institute of Technology/Tulane University team and a University of California, Davis/ University of Oregon team.
The first-place finish brings a prize of $25,000 to the winner's non-profit partner, the Lower Ninth Ward Center for Sustainable Engagement and Development (CSED).
The winning plan calls for the redevelopment of commercial space where businesses failed to reopen following Hurricane Katrina.
The 15-year-old competition moved to New Orleans last year after 13 years in New York City. About half of the proposals to place first, second or third in the competition have become a reality. Lizette Terral, president of the New Orleans region for Chase, said she expects this project to fall in the category of successful ventures.
"I think it's not just the viability of this project," Terral said. "It's the presentation, the research, the analysis that will make it successful."
The competition brought closure to a lengthy effort.
"We started working on the project in the spring semester and all summer we worked on the research and market analysis," Ballinger said.
Eventually her team thought less about the competition and more about doing whatever possible to make the project happen.
Lower Ninth residents—many without vehicles—have to travel several miles to reach a grocery with fresh foods, a fact that impedes efforts to rebuild the flood-ravaged area and also adversely affects the health of residents.
Time spent on the project grew as the filing deadline neared.
"We finally met the DePaul team on the Sunday before the competition," Ballinger said. "They flew in that morning and we spent from noon until 10 p.m. working on the presentation."
Additional fine-tuning came the next day and on the following—right up until the team stood before the panel of judges.
"When our professors sent the e-mail out asking if students were interested in working on a fresh food market project, I looked into it because I knew how badly the Lower Ninth Ward residents wanted a grocery store," Ballinger said.
"I set up a lot of the community meetings and made connections with key people in the community," she said about her role in the project. "I also did research on the health section of the project and the community background, and incorporated some of the hazard mitigation techniques to make sure the store is resilient to storm and flood waters."
Several local agencies and officials have pledged support for the project and funding sources are coming to light. Ballinger thinks there's a good chance the store will be built. She expects the publicity from the competition will bring additional funding.
For those living in the Lower Ninth Ward, the Chase competition offers some hope for the future.
"There's a need. There's a desire. It's so hard to go elsewhere," said Pam Dashiell of the Center for Sustainable Engagement and Development. "But most importantly, if there's a store back here, it gives us something to attract people. If there's a store and a school, that helps to rebuild the community."

I know this is an old post but did you try out mp's L-glutamine, if so what happened???
Evening mes amis!
Some supplements and formulas include glutamine peptides which are typically derived from wheat and thus aren't suitable for coeliacs due to the gluten it contains - can this seemingly insignificant amount pose a problem? I myself am not coeliac but I do avoid wheat, grains, gluten etc etc and it worries me that I may be sabotaging myself and health by using protein powders which use glutamine peptides?
Cheers ^-^
I know this is an old post but did you try out mp's L-glutamine, if so what happened???
Quite the bump lol! I'm not a big believer in glutamine as a supplement, I asked the above in relation to it's role as an addition to protein powders and the like, total protein for instance. I've since read that it only takes tiny tiny minute amounts of gluten to keep the deleterious GI effects going so stopped my supplementation that included peptide bound anything! I try to keep my supplementation of amino acids to a minimum as I've no idea what any of them are derived from but have heard that Glutamine specifically, either peptide bound or free form is derived from wheat, not good for moi if true
thanks, thought id ask as im experimenting with a gluten free diet for a month, theres celiac sufferers that say some types of L-glutamine havent been contaminated by wheat apparently and works well, i cant understand why or how that is but from what i read on a celiac forum there is a brand that doesnt contain gluten.
I read some where that you suffer from crohns disease but i dont understand how supplementing with amino acids can upset the GI tract i thought they were supposed to be even easier to digest or is there another reason if you dont mind me asking?
Yup, I suffer with Crohn's specifically and my being gluten free is a personal choice (I was tested for coeliac which came back negative) but I do feel immensely better for it. Supplementing with aminos doesn't upset my gi tract per se, more a case of I have no idea what/where the aminos are derived from, could they be derived from wheat and/or may be contaminated/contain gluten, I don't know, so am simply being <overly> cautious to make sure I only ingest things I can account for as being totally gluten/wheat free. All to do with traceability of ingredients I have e-mail MP on this but nothing as yet!
Last edited by Supadude; 02-10-2010 at 08:02 PM.
Thought id conclude this thread by letting anyone interested and may have stumbled on here that Glutamine Peptides does contain gluten. L-Glutamine however contains corn so doesnt have gluten in it at all. But does have the same protein structure so could still upset some types of people.
The problem with this is one of cross contamination, L Glutamine should be fine if the processes are in place that stop cross contamination by washing down the lines as well as other procedures. I have also asked MP to put the processes and testing of products to confirm there gluten free status. I found a supplement company that have stringent policies and a full listing of supplements that are tested to the new eu legislation of gluten free of less than 20 parts per million which is great. It's a shame as I like MPs products but I now have to stop using them as they can't confirm new gluten free legislation compliance and testing.

What happens to cars affected by flooding?
Wed, 19 May 2010 00:41:48 GMT —
The rains during Monday's storm caused severe flash flooding, washing out some businesses and cars in Columbia.
One driver got quite a surprise on Pickens Street on the USC Campus.
He drove into, what he thought, was a few inches of water. But as he soon found out, that wasn't the case.
A viewer also sent us pictures of cars with water up to the bumpers.
But what does that mean for the drivers?
According to one local water damage expert, they're no out of luck.
"The water contains many pathogenic things; fertilizer, motor oil, animal feces, you name it and it's in the water," explains Walker Williams of PuroClean Disaster Restoration. "If it gets inside your car, you can't fix that."
Williams adds if the water gets into engines, you pretty much need to call your insurance company.

Israel allows Vanunu out of solitary confinement
A lawyer for the imprisoned Israeli nuclear technician, Mordechai Vanunu, says his client has been moved out of solitary confinement for the first time in twelve years.
The lawyer Avigdor Feldman said Mr Vanunu had told him he had been allowed to leave his cell and talk to other prisoners in the jail.
Israeli agents abducted Mr Vanunu from Europe and he was sentenced to eighteen years in prison for revealing details of the Israeli nuclear weapons programme to a British newspaper The Sunday Times.
The lawyer said the government appeared to have changed its position on Mr Vanunu's solitary confinement in part because of international pressure.
He said several human rights groups and foreign leaders, including the Norwegian prime minister, had taken up Mr Vanunu's case.

Frazee Football - Hornets whip potent Pine River-Backus
Entering Frazee's Homecoming game, the Hornets' opponent Pine River-Backus was ranked No. 6 in Class 1A, undefeated and boasting of an aerial attack led by quarterback Beau Howard who had double digit passing touchdowns and no interceptions.
All those things changed after a dominating Hornet team put a lid on Howard's passing attack, while maintaining ball control behind the 178 rushing yards of Bruce Lemon, along with his three touchdowns, in a 47-6 victory over the Tigers.
"Our kids really rose to the challenge of the game and played with great intensity," said Frazee head coach Jim Rader. "For the third straight week, (the team) played complete team football, with multiple players making contributions in different areas."
The Hornets out-gained the Tigers by a hefty 270-41 margin in rushing yards, while holding Howard to just 85 yards passing, including no touchdowns and two interceptions.
Frazee sophomore Calvin Streeper led the team in tackles with six, followed by sophomore Garrett Malstrom's five. A host of Hornets registered tackles, as well.
"It is a classic example of how successful a team can be when individual players are working for each other and not concerned about their own stats," Rader said.
Hornet senior quarterback Baxter Bachmann also had success through the air, going 3-8 for 102 yards and a touchdown, which was a 35-yard TD toss to Zach Nelson.
The Hornets (4-1) will go on the road to face Warren-Alvarado-Oslo (3-2) Friday.

"THINNOVATION is a results-driven, but patient centered approach to minimally invasive aesthetics, designed to create the most naturally beautiful Lumineers smiles possible."
The level 1 THINNOVATION course covers key anterior aesthetics concepts such as case analysis, detailed smile design, lab communication, occlusal equilibration, soft-tissue considerations, hands-on enamel contouring, cementation, polishing and finishing. Course attendees will develop the skills to confidently deliver treatment-driven aesthetics with ultra-thin veneers. The course also provides 13 hours of AGD Continuing Education credits to participants who complete the 2-day program.
Advanced programs which include additional tooth preparation techniques, fast orthodontics, and tissue management are being scheduled for late 2013. DenMat also will continue to drive patient demand for anterior aesthetics by introducing new consumer campaigns via television and online, generating hundreds of thousands of patient leads and delivering those leads to its Lumineers Smile Discovery Program dentists.
A complete listing of all THINNOVATION courses scheduled across the United States and Canada is listed on DenMat's website at http://www.denmat.com/education. Seating is limited to ensure participants receive personalized instruction.

Summary: Do you buckle your kids up, every time? A new study that asked parents about what risks they were willing to take when driving found some interesting — and surprising — answers.
A new report, "Buckle Up: Every Ride, Every Time," by Safe Kids Worldwide, found parents took interesting risks when it came to their children and car safety. According to the survey of 1,002 parents and caregivers of children ages 10 and under, 1 in 4 parents admit to driving without their children properly secured by a seat belt in a car seat or booster seat.
The worst offenders: young parents, affluent parents, and parents with higher levels of education were more likely to make exceptions when it comes to clicking the seat belt. Men are also more willing to bend car safety rules.
The survey included 32 questions, and asked parents if it was acceptable for a child to ride unrestrained in a vehicle in certain circumstances, including driving a short distance, if the car or booster seat was missing, during overnight travel, as a reward for the child, or if they chose to hold the child in their lap. According to the press release:
• Twenty-one percent of parents said it was acceptable to drive with their child unrestrained if they are not driving far. However, 60 percent of crashes involving children occur 10 minutes or less from home.
• Sixteen percent of parents also feel it is acceptable to allow children to ride unrestrained on overnight trips. However, this is the time period when children are most likely to be injured in a crash.
• Twenty-three percent of younger parents (ages 18-29) said it would be acceptable to ride with a child unrestrained when traveling overnight compared to 13 percent of older parents (ages 30-49).
• One in 3 affluent parents, with an income of $100,000 or more said it was acceptable to leave their child unrestrained when traveling short distances, compared to 15 percent of parents making less than $35,000.
• Parents with graduate degrees are twice as likely to say it is acceptable to drive without buckling up their children, compared to parents with a high school education — particularly when they are in a rush.
"The number of children dying in car crashes has declined by 58 percent since 1987 but this research shows that the trend toward buckling up kids on every ride could be heading in the wrong direction," said Kate Carr, president and CEO of Safe Kids Worldwide.
One-third of the 679 children (ages 12 and under) who died in motor vehicle accidents in 2011 were riding without a child safety seat or seat belt that could have saved their lives.
And among the 6,074 children ages 12 and under who were injured in motor vehicle accidents, children ages 1 to 7 were more often unrestrained.
The report, funded by the GM Foundation, also highlights that, in addition to being dangerous, making exceptions for seat belt use sends a message to kids that it's not important to buckle up every time. As these kids get older — and get their licenses — they may be less likely to buckle up. In fact, teenagers have the lowest rate of seat belt use of all age groups.
The research, published in recognition of Child Passenger Safety Week, serves as a reminder to buckle up, every time.
Child Passenger Safety Week culminates with National Seat Check Saturday on September 21. Safe Kids will host more than 500 child seat inspections across the country, offering guidance from certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians on proper installation of child safety and booster seats. Parents and caregivers can visit safekids.org to locate an event in their community.
And please remember, for safety's sake, always buckle up.

Discussion Question: The Milgram Experiment Revisited
Some students have asked in the past, "Does the fact that no shocks were actually administered make a difference?
DIGGING DEEPER: The Milgram Experiment Revisited
Take a look at this interesting article, in which the author re-visited the Milgram experiment. (See attachment)
As stated in NOW THAT YOU KNOW, HOW DO YOU FEEL?, "Milgram filmed the experiment and used this candid footage to edit a 45 minute film called Obedience (Milgram, 1965). By far the longest fragment in the film features a man called Fred Pozi and also in Milgram's book of 1974 the session with Pozi gets much attention….Milgram: But who was actually pushing the switch? The fragment furthermore shows that Milgram refuses any explanation of the subject blaming the situation. Milgram individualizes the scene: who was actually pushing the switch?"

Steve Sarkisian says the goals for the Washington Huskies are more black-and-white in 2010 than a year ago, if likely much more difficult to achieve.
"We're here to win championships," the UW football coach said Thursday at a news conference to kick off the season. "Last year was (to) be competitive, fight, scratch, claw. This year, (it's) 'let's go play well and win a championship.' "
The Huskies unquestionably accomplished their 2009 goal, morphing from an 0-12 team that was routinely blown out to a 5-7 squad that finished with two strong wins and lost three other games in the final minutes.
Now, as UW gets set to begin practice Monday and prepare for the season opener Sept. 4 at BYU, Sarkisian believes the team is ready to take the next step.
"What I cared about last year was being competitive," he said. "I was not worried about winning or losing. It feels better to win, but I wanted to make sure we battled because I think that was something that wasn't quite there, that was something not quite in the hearts of these players. I think we achieved that."
Sarkisian, though, stopped short of making predictions other than that he thinks UW will be better this year, saying that whether improved play "equates into wins or not, I don't know."
Most observers think it will. While UW was picked sixth in the Pac-10 media poll, many others had the Huskies higher, and the general consensus is for a winning season and bowl game.
The optimism is based on UW's 16 starters returning (eight on each side of the ball), led by a Heisman Trophy candidate in quarterback Jake Locker. That's from a team that won its last two games, against WSU and Cal, by a combined 72-10.
Then came a recruiting class generally considered in the top 20 in the nation, and what Sarkisian said was another strong offseason conditioning program that he thinks has transformed the Huskies.
"We look like a really good football team now," he said. "I don't know if I could say that a year ago. But today, as I visit with our players, we are a better looking football team than we were a year ago at this time."
Sarkisian said the conditioning emphasis was on being strong enough to pull out games in the fourth quarter. UW let games get away last year against Arizona State, UCLA and Notre Dame.
"What I think fans will see is a better conditioned football team," he said. "We made it a real point this summer to condition ourselves to play in the fourth quarter on the road so that we are mentally and physically sharp on the road in the fourth quarter, and BYU is that first one to get ready for that."

Relations between Palau and Taiwan were strengthened in 2000. Taiwan opened an embassy in Palau on March 5, and Taiwan Foreign Minister Chen Chien-jen and Palau State Minister Sabias Anastacio together presided over the opening ceremony. Chen led a delegation of 60 government officials and business leaders who spent four days in Palau planning entrepreneurial enterprises. After the embassy opening Pres. Kuniwo Nakamura accepted an offer to visit Taiwan, and he subsequently held talks with Taiwanese investors in May.
Relations with Japan were also fostered. As part of the Common Agenda (a joint U.S.-Japan project addressing global issues), the Japan International Cooperation Agency spent ¥800 million (about $7.2 million) on a Palau International Coral Reef Center. The facility was expected to carry out ecological observations and to work to preserve coral reefs by examining ways to manage marine resources. In addition, Aoyama Planning Arts, Inc., obtained the support of President Nakamura for a project to link all households on the more than 200 islands constituting Palau with a communications system via a fibre-optic network.

1St Annual Pink Ribbon Challenge 5k was a hit!!
I would like to personally thank everyone who participated in my first 5 k Walk. I hosted it at Nokomis High School on the track. Kit was a success and plan on hosting another 5k Walk in mid September. This one is going to be a little different.
It's going to be a RELAY. Pink Ribbon Challenge Relay. With Teams of 4. I'm going to use thirst from the 1st Walk and use toilet paper rolls as the batons painted pink. My goal is to sign up at least 20 teams. (4 x 20). 80 people to get walking. I hope that Teams will make up names for themselves and will get a pic. The team with the best name will win a prize, the funniest named team will also get a prize, the wackiest dressed team with get a prize.
My goal is to have 4, 5 k walks a year. 2 in the Spring, summer, fall. None in the winter.
So who's with me? I have 4 really good helpers and they are part of my community walk project. Erica, Tracey and Michelle. And my daughter Abby who passed out the beads for the walk just recently.
Thank you all

giving duplicate links
I've been trying to problem solve this for days now and am now turning for help here.
Basically, I used "Post Duplicator" plugin in the midst of putting a lot of posts/resources on my website. But after putting them all up I went to validate my different feeds and the hurdle in the way of validating is url's within <guid isPermaLink="false"></guid> that are from when I duplicated posts.
For instance, I might have duplicated the post http://www.danieltrainingnetwork.org/flee/ and the duplicate immediately gives it the url name http://www.danieltrainingnetwork.org/flee-2/. However, every time I duplicated I would obviously change the duplicate url link to what I wanted it to be and then published it. However, in the feed the duplicate url still remains within the <guid isPermaLink="false"></guid> tag. So within the <link> tag it will be the right url to the post but within the <guid> tag it is the url I duplicated off of.
So, within my different feeds there are times where two items have the same duplicate link within the <guid isPermaLink="false"></guid> tag. For instance, <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.danieltrainingnetwork.org/flee-2</guid> might be with two different items within my feed thus causing the feed to not validate.
Now I have went into the cache file within my cache folder on the server side and made the duplicate guid tags different. It then validates the feed until I do any editing on any of the posts within that feed and walaa, the feed goes back to the way it was before.
My question is: How do I PERMANENTLY change the duplicate links in the guid tags. I know how to temporarily change them in the cache folder of my Host Gator account in order to validate but then it quickly reverts to it's old self.
- The topic 'giving duplicate links' is closed to new replies.

... and how prevalent is corn in Chinese cuisine?
But first question first. I've always understood that corn was first introduced to mainland China during the Columbian Exchange in or around 1492. But this paper I stumbled across seems to pour cold water on that theory.
A more interesting question to Chowhounds, I suppose, may be how the Chinese originally used corn in their cooking.
Nowadays, I suppose there are obvious things like creamed corn chowder or corn soup, or corn maybe mixed into fried rice or some sort of moo-shu filling, but those are really sort of bastardized versions of European dishes, or Americanized foodstuffs.
I can't think of any truly authentic recipes that either use corn as a main ingredient, or corn flour or cornmeal as a base.
Any thoughts?

Miranda Kerr may have been given the honor of wearing a two and a half million dollar bra at this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, but that doesn't mean she always thought she belonged. The Australian beauty, a model since she was thirteen, was floored when she was first offered a contract with the company, especially after she met the other models.
In a revealing interview with New York Magazine, Kerr told the publication she was at first confused why Victoria's Secret wanted her. She was introduced to Heidi Klum and Adriana Lima and thought, "What am I doing here?" Time, however, has lessened her feelings of insecurity and altered her ideas about beauty. Ideally, she'd like to see that same confidence she now feels resonate with all women.
"All flowers are beautiful in their own way, and that's like women too. I want to encourage women to embrace their own uniqueness."
The dynamic of a knockout model telling other women to be comfortable in their own skin is always a bit strange, but I have no doubts about Kerr's sincerity. She's always come off as a likeable and down to Earth woman, and the above quote illustrates that.
Curious souls can check out her incredibly expensive bra tonight on CBS during the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Maroon 5, Kanye West and Nicki Minaj will be performing; so, there should be something there for everyone.

text: I recently acquired a Rapid Omega 200 and having owned a Koni Omegaflex M (giant TLR) previously, am fairly comfortable with many aspects of the system. However I find myself with some questions specific to the Rapid/Koni RFs: How fiddly should lens mounting be? With the 'flex, the lens board mounting was pretty straightforward. Not so much with the Rapid, especially with the 180 (the long pins.) Am I just inept, is this normal or should I be worried about my example? Will practice help? On my example, the shutter cocking lever return spring on the body does not work. This did not manifest itself until I got the 58 which does not return the cocking stud on the lens to its original position. All sorts of jamming mischief results. Might this be a reasonable DIY fix? From looking on the web, it would seem to be not rocket science but aside from bending one of the coils tangent to create an attaching loop I will not have access to a replacement spring. Is this a viable strategy? The light seal between the body and magazine is failing (about a quarter of it fell out.) Again, not rocket science but a potential PITA. If I can't talk Jon Goodman (oh please, oh please) in to cutting one for me, what materials and techniques would you use? Just out of curiosity, what (if anything) is under the "hood" on the tops of the long lenses back at the mount? Thanks, j

You can include ghc in that list, but I haven't been able to test to see if it changes the way cabal decides on installable packages. I doubt it.

Diego Forlan ignored the pain for as long as he could, carrying Uruguay on his shoulders and giving the little nation hope of a most improbable World Cup final berth.
That made the disappointment all the more bitter.
The score was 1-1 in the second half and the South American nation was making it a tight game against the Netherlands. Forlan was leading by example as the stand-in captain, tying the match with a 25-yard shot, spreading passes from deep and threatening in the box.
Then, the Dutch scored twice late and Forlan's thigh became so unbearable he couldn't continue. Despite a fantastic tournament for himself and his country, Forlan was disappointed.

A pause in the recent break?
Grain prices dropped sharply until finding support from $5.70-$5.80 in Dec corn, and relative support areas in other grains (wheat and soybeans). Corn now has formed what looks like a triple bottom, a technical formation that typically is just a pause in an otherwise bearish technical formation. The first test of such a support level normally amounts to a bounce in prices, and so far this week that is what we have. But after the bounce, we might be right back to challenging these support levels in early December.
Soybeans, of course, have a much more negative technical formation, with new recent lows made in the past week that mean support levels now are at price areas considerably lower than recent trade. Wheat also dropped to new recent lows the past week, but quickly bounced up from those levels this week thus far. While corn hasn't broken through the summer lows, both wheat and soybeans have already accomplished this task, and unfortunately these two commodities are not likely to drop much further without dragging corn with it.
Wheat has an interesting situation fundamentally as well, with the last crop condition rating of the year showing another increase in conditions to 52% G/E, up 2% from last week and still RISING as we entered freeze up (rather than the declines which typically take place this time of year). The crop has been improving due to recent rains, especially in the eastern HRW wheat belt where rains have been frequent since late October. That has resulted in improving crop conditions as we entered freeze up.
The western HRW wheat country is still struggling, though, and is in drastic need of additional moisture. However, the next 7 day forecast continues to call for more rain for HRW wheat country - including the parched western HRW wheat country. That could result in further improvement in crop conditions. The central and eastern corn belt has had frequent rains as well, and that is leading to good conditions in the SRW wheat region as well.
Of great interest to soybean growers has been South American (SAM) weather conditions, and so far they have been nothing but outstanding. That is leading to increased production forecasts for the SAM crop, and of course that isn't helping matters for the world's soybean growers. Anticipated hikes in production numbers are leading to lower soybean prices.
Overall, this doesn't make for a positive outlook price wise, but then again when everyone turns bearish, that's when prices can be surprised by a spike higher, too. Recently, the outside markets are showing some improvement, with the stock market so far this week showing strong improvement in prices. Typically that means support for commodity levels of all kinds, and grains can certainly be supported from this equity price strength as well.
So while the downtrend has been well established in the recent weeks, we are taking a little pause now from recent price weakness, and its nice to see some gains in grains again after the recent price weakness. But can they keep up the recent price strength? That's a question that will only be answered with time.

"Mobile broadband is going to be one of those things we come to expect, so the opportunity is indeed enormous, and Cisco will no doubt become a major player."
"It's a very good question. The whole process has definitely gotten more political over the years. The technology used in this standard is the future of wireless (local area networks). It's very important for companies involved to get their market positioning up-front and establish themselves as players as soon as possible."
"location [services] are hot, and I expect you'll see more deals like this in the future. This is location-specific advertising."
"Clearly Microsoft needs to add this piece - mobile access is a huge part of their new .Net initiative."
"There are three reasons to deploy wireless. You can't install wire, for whatever reason. Wireless is cheaper over a given time. Or you need mobility."


text: Hi All, I am attempting to send email to an SMTP server that uses plain text authentication. So far I have tried both the SMTPClient ( http://hackage.haskell.org/package/SMTPClient-1.0.4) and HaskellNet ( http://hackage.haskell.org/package/HaskellNet). The SMTPClient library works fine for connecting to a non-restricted local SMTP server, but doesn't seem to have any ability to authenticate, so unless it gets updated I believe it's out of the picture (unless I'm wrong about it not being able to authenticate). The HaskellNet SMTP bindings are having problems connecting to my local postfix server even without authentication involved. I get a "connect: does not exist (Connection refused)" error. This seems odd to me since the SMTPClient code connects to my local server just fine, so I don't believe this is a postfix configuration issue (I could be wrong here of course). Here is the code I am currently using: http://hpaste.org/53764 Any help is appreciated. Thanks, -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

text: I did a taste-off amongst two Milk Oolongs today and this one was the slight winner as I think the oolong base is of a slightly higher quality in this one. I am of the school of thought that some milk oolong are treated or flavored in some way to give that in-your-face sweetened condensed milk flavor and think this might be one of them. However, it is so delicious that I do not care. This is sweet, creamy, milky and downright delicious. It tastes like the oolong was soaked in sweetened condensed milk in terms of flavor and mouthfeel. It also gives up some nice floral and vegetal notes. The Ti Kwan Yin used is not as syrupy as some and a bit more vegetal than many of its cousins. A dowright delicious cup and dessert oolong.

Friends & Neighbors - 'Standing with the Students'
Upon meeting Valentine Eben, one's first impression is that he is a man who smiles a lot.
His eyes seek out those of the person he is talking to, drawing them into the conversation.
As one listens to him tell his story, however, it becomes apparent that this is a man who has seen and lived through some pretty harrowing experiences in his 35 years on the planet.
A native of Ambazonia, a region located in the southern part of Camaroon, Africa that is seeking independence, he has been in exile from his homeland since 1997.
Though he has spent most of the intervening years in Europe -- eight of them in Germany -- Eben has been a resident of Detroit Lakes since August of this year, as a student in the computer network security program at Minnesota State Community & Technical College.
"I live right across the street (from the college)," he said in an interview earlier this week.
The reason for his political exile is that Eben is a social justice activist who barely escaped Camaroon with his life 10 years ago.
In 2005, Eben secretly returned to Camaroon to train activists there in formal consensus, a method of facilitating non-violent social change. While he was there, he was invited to take part in a student demonstration at the University of Buea.
Secretly carrying a cell phone-sized camera that he had smuggled across the border from Nigeria, Valentine filmed the events that occurred at the university over the next three days -- three days that would leave five students dead and dozens more injured.
The students were protesting in order to gain certain basic rights, such as working toilets and up-to-date textbooks. They were also protesting an inordinately large hike in tuition.
Though the students were protesting peacefully, police were called in to disburse the crowd. The students resisted.
What followed formed the basis of Eben's documentary, "Standing With the Students," which he completed after smuggling the footage he had taken with his hidden camera back into Nigeria, then to Germany, and eventually, to the U.S.
Eben's escape from Camaroon in 2005 was harrowing enough to warrant a documentary in itself: in a small wooden boat, he and 15 others traveled by ocean to a safe port far from the Camaroon border. He had fled the country in the middle of the night, with only his computer equipment and the clothes on his back.
"I had to leave the rest of my things there (in the hotel)," he said.
His documentary, which graphically depicts the brutality used by government forces in subduing the students' protest -- brutality which included the use of tear gas, ruthless beatings, and the firing of live ammunition -- has formed the basis of a campaign to get justice on behalf of the murdered students.
"There has been no prosecution for the soldiers (who shot and beat the students to death)," Eben said.
The documentary was screened at MSCTC on Wednesday, by an audience of about 50 students and faculty.
Eben's aim in spearheading this campaign in the U.S. is to bring pressure to bear on the federal government, in the form of public opinion, to stop the flow of aid into Camaroon until such time as that government agrees to prosecute the soldiers.
"I would like to appeal to the governments of donor countries (who supply aid to Camaroon) to cut funding until they prosecute the officers that killed the students," he said.
"It hurts to sit back and think about these kids being killed simply for asking for basics," he added.
And the injustice continues: Eben said he learned late last month of two other students in Camaroon who had been shot and killed in another peaceful protest, on the same campus where the original shootings had occurred.
The news was deeply distressing to Eben, who continues to hope that one day, his native country can enjoy the same kind of freedoms he has enjoyed since coming to the U.S.
"For us, the U.S. is not only a physical country, it's an ideal... an example we can copy from," he said, adding that he finds it exciting to live in a country where "citizens' opinions matter."
He has also been overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of the people he has met in Detroit Lakes.
"I've made so many friends here," he said. "There are people here who really care about your well being.
"I really appreciate my experiences here."
At the same time, the humanity and kindness that he has encountered in his travels has been one more driving force to effect change in his homeland.
"I think... it could be like this at home if the political structure would just allow people to be human," he said.

Conexant to use Philsar unit as Bluetooth springboard
Post a comment
NEWPORT, Calif. -- Following its recent purchase of Bluetooth supplier Philsar Semiconductor Inc., Conexant Systems Inc. here said it will announce its foray into the market at this week's Bluetooth Congress 2000 in Monte Carlo.
Conexant said it plans to deliver its first Bluetooth product line in the fourth quarter based on Philsar's radio-frequency (RF) technology and its communications portfolio and systems design expertise. Its Bluetooth offering will include a line of radio components, a variety of single- and two-chip system solutions and a software protocol stack including application profiles. Conexant said it hopes the products will offer manufacturers a consistent development environment, low bill-of-materials and manufacturing costs, and provide the autonomy and affordability which consumers need in personal wireless connectivity applications.
Conexant said it also plans to incorporate Bluetooth technology into products from multiple divisions and develop Bluetooth-enabled semiconductors for additional communications applications, including cable modems, home networking products, digital imaging devices and advanced mobile terminals supporting voice and data services.
"Bluetooth technology is poised to become a key standard for personal area networks of the future, and we plan to take a unique approach to the Bluetooth market," said Moiz Beguwala, senior vice president and general manager of Conexant Systems Inc.'s wireless communications division. "In addition to providing Bluetooth components, we will deliver system solutions integrated with other communications products using Conexant devices.
"Conexant's synergistic portfolio of communications solutions will enable such applications as transmitting digital photos directly to your mobile PC using a Bluetooth-equipped camera or downloading email from your cell phone to your laptop on the go."
According to market reseachers at In-Stat Group in Scottsdale, Ariz., Bluetooth-enabled equipment sales will grow to 126 million units in 2002, at which time semiconductor sales for Bluetooth products will be worth more than $1.3 billion.

From his structural films of the 1960s and '70s through his architectural painting installations begun in the '90s, Santa Monica-based artist Morgan Fisher has continuously probed the nature of perception and representation. His explorations often take place through the process of closely examining and often upending established systems or codes, such as the visual formulas of Hollywood films or the properties of the color spectrum. For his latest show, Fisher mines the structural schema of an artifact from his family history, producing a body of paintings that draw from a 1935 booklet produced by General Houses, Inc., a prefabricated home manufacturer founded by his father, Howard T. Fisher. The booklet, Exterior and Interior Color Beauty, contains examples of three-color combinations selected for each room of the home. The booklet's text promises that its "color-flow" system will "simplify" and "facilitate immediate selection" of paint colors for the home.
Fisher's paintings, each realized in acrylic house paint on three abutting wood panels (measuring about 24 by 30 inches overall), represent enlarged replicas of the paint chips printed in the booklet. A large rectangle corresponds to wall color, with narrow rectangles on the top for ceiling hue and on the right side for trim. In their translation from the printed page to the painted panel, however, the chips undergo a distinct materialization. The raw wooden edges of the panels underscore their objecthood. Moreover, the flatly painted surfaces echo the planes of the gallery's white walls, upon which they are mounted.
In the exhibition, as in the booklet (a facsimile was available for perusal at the gallery's front desk), the paint selections for different types of rooms were divided into distinct spaces. Moving from the front gallery to the back gallery, colors progressed from the dusky, soft hues suggested for the living room and dining room into the slightly more cheerful combinations recommended for the bedrooms and kitchen.
Each painting was hung at eye level in a landscape orientation, momentarily evoking a 19th-century landscape painting adorning the walls of a well-appointed living room. But what type of "landscape" do these pictures represent? While the works are formally similar, perhaps, to Josef Albers's series "Homage to the Square," the point of reference is not the abstract realm of pure color interaction, but rather decor and General Houses, Inc.'s conventions for a pleasurable home. In this aspect, these paintings represent a distinct moment in the 20th century, when anxiety around shifting conceptions of the family unit was allayed by design's ability to create a soothing domestic space in the face of the stimulation of modern life. The moment precedes Albers's postwar color experiments. Just as Fisher's film work questions the construction of the film environment in both avant-garde and Hollywood productions, these paintings slyly point toward the connections between design, industry and the avant-garde.

How can I help my child deal with a death in the family?
How can I help my child deal with a death in the family?
By John Mayer
How can I help my child deal with a death in the family? Losing a loved one is difficult on everyone in the family, but it can be especially confusing for kids who are trying to understand death for the first time. If your family has specific religious beliefs, look to its teachings to talk to your child about the loss — such as explaining that Grandma is in "a better place." Sharing your belief system will help your child learn and cope.
If your family isn't religious, then tell your child that while death is difficult, it's part of the cycle of life — just like birth. Recall with him happy memories of your loved one, and tell him that even though Grandma is no longer with us, those memories will always live on. Assure him that it's okay to talk about the family member, and encourage him to come to you with any questions he has. You should also let your child know how you are coping with the loss. This modeling is extremely helpful for children, especially when they are unsure how to process and respond to the loss.
With an open dialogue and time to adjust and heal, your child will likely come to a healthy understanding about these difficult subjects. If, however, you notice lasting changes to his "baseline behavior" after a few weeks (loss of interest in friends or activities, listlessness or a drop in grades), then consider getting an evaluation from a trained professional.
