For the fourth time in the past year and a half, a Penn State professor has filed a federal discrimination case.
The latest case involves Constance Matthews, a former assistant professor in the College of Education who claims she was passed over for promotions and tenure because of her gender, her open homosexuality or advocacy for sexual minorities.
The university recently settled one discrimination suit, but now has three more pending in federal courts. And it just settled a civil suit alleging anti-lesbian bias by women's basketball coach Renee Portland.
In an unusual and unprecedented move, the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission plans to review complaints against Penn State to see if a pattern of discrimination exists.

LAS VEGAS — Miss Utah USA is taking another stab at the pageant question that brought her Internet infamy.
Marissa Powell appeared Tuesday morning on NBC's "The Today Show" (http://on.today.com/11ISG9j ) to talk about her fumble during Sunday's Miss USA pageant in Las Vegas.
She told host Matt Lauer that she was confused by the three-part question, which mentioned that more women are becoming primary breadwinners and that they're earning less than men. It then asked what that said about society.
The 21-year-old's answer included several long pauses and the phrase "create education better."
On her second go-round, she said unequal pay "is not OK," adding that "it needs to be equal pay for equal work. It's hard enough already to earn a living, and it shouldn't be harder just because you're a woman."

The Coshocton County Sheriff's Office is investigating allegations that a Coshocton High School teacher had inappropriate conduct with a male student.
The Coshocton Superintendent, David Hire, says Jennifer West, the health teacher and volleyball coach, allegedly kissed an 18-year-old male student on the cheek at a private residence. She was given a written and verbal reprimand and is still teaching at Coshocton High School. Hire says the male student is still attending Coshocton High School.
Hire says the school is done with the issue and it is now in the hands of the Coshocton County Sheriff. A press release from the Sheriff's office states,"The Coschocton County Sheriff's Office has received information from several community members about allegations of inappropriate conduct between a female Coshocton High School teacher and a male student. A detective has been assigned to look into these allegations, and with the cooperation of the School District has been able to interview several people that may have information relating to these allegations."

With 1st DS I was induced and it was a terrible, long process. They had me check in Wednesday evening and did Cervidil overnight. Thursday morning they started me on pitocin and slowly bumped it up all day long. My cervix didn't make much progress that day even after a day full of horrible contractions. So Thurs night they did cervidil again. Friday morning it was right back on pitocin and I was finally making progress and dilating. My contractions were just terrible for the 2nd day on pitocin and I got an epidural at 3 cm. Then I stopped I dilating but was till on th pitocin all Fri. Fri afternoon they broke my water and I made a little more progress with dilating but I was so worn out and my contractions were still just taking so much out of me because I had a crappy epidural. They tried to redo they epi and my entire body up to my neck went numb at this point. I was freaking out! My OB wanted to schedule me for c section and said it would be done when she got back from dinner. Luckily right after she left I fully dilated to 10 cm and DS head was crowning and I was able to have a vaginal delivery, but this was just a horrible 2 days for me.
With 2nd, DD, I was almost 2 full week overdue! I was walking everyday in the freezing cold January Wisconsin weather and trying everything else I could to help my body. It was a Friday afternoon and I was vacuuming the living room when my water broke. I was SO EXCITED!
I went to the hospital at about 4 pm and was able to walk and use a birth ball and sit in a glider for a while while working through contractions. Finally at about midnight it was time, but my doctor was stuck in the dang blizzard trying to get there! He showed up just minutes after 1 am, I pushed twice and out came my precious little girl. I did it with no drugs, no epi, all natural and it was amazing! Especially in comparison with DS delivery.
I'm hoping this 3rd is as easy as my 2nd and I'm really excited about our water birth!
ETA: I was induced 12 days before my EDD with my 1st due to horrible PUPPS rash that was making me miserable and they were worried DS was going to be "too big" to deliver...he was 9 lb 3 oz.
Thanks, Jaidynsmum, for the beautiful siggy!

Metabolic strength training is the basis of this article series – read the href="https://spotmegirl.com/weight-training-over-cardio-for-fat-loss-the-intro/">first installmenthref> of this article series if you haven't yet. In this second installment, I'm quickly going to take you through what the concepts of metabolic strength training are, how they work, and why they may be safer and more effective than exclusively using traditional bodybuilding methods.
Traditional bodybuilding methods are great for maximizing muscle growth because that's what they're designed to do. And, since different types of goals require different types of training, as no one type of training is best for all goals, it also means that bodybuilding methods are not designed to maximize the metabolic impact of each workout. That's where metabolic strength training comes in.
Put simply, the metabolic strength training is designed to help you maximize caloric expenditure, not only during the workout, but also for up to two days after the workout.
In other words, although traditional bodybuilding methods certainly do create a metabolic impact, this isn't what they're primarily designed to do, whereas the metabolic strength training concepts discussed below are.
The Three C's of Metabolic Strength Training
When it comes to using strength training concepts with the primary goal of accelerating metabolism in order to help you lose body fat while building and keeping muscle, there are three training concepts I emphasize, which I call the three Cs of strength training for fat loss:
1. Strength training circuits: A continuous series of exercises using multiple pieces of equipment.
2. Strength training complexes: A continuous series of exercises using the same piece of equipment.
3. Strength training combinations: Multiple strength training movements blended together to make one exercise, using the same piece of equipment.
There are four reasons why the three Cs of metabolic strength training are extremely effective at burning fat.
They're high intensity.
Workouts that utilize the three C's use challenging loads or lighter loads moved fast, both of which force you to work hard each time you move the weight. The higher the intensity, the greater the metabolic impact!
They involve the entire body.
Each of the three Cs of metabolic strength training uses the entire body, involving your upper body, lower body, and core muscles. Put simply, the more calories you burn, the more productive your workouts will be—and the faster you will lose body fat.
They demand extended repetitive effort.
Research consistently reports that a direct relationship exists between the duration of exercise and excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), which is the number of calories expended (above resting values) after an exercise bout (3). Metabolic strength training methods take more time to complete than traditional bodybuilding sets. So, not only do they require you to perform high-intensity, total-body efforts, but you'll be performing them for extended bursts.
You don't have to be an exercise scientist to see how the combination of these three factors will burn a ton of calories and be super effective for losing fat and building metabolic muscle, something that a morning stroll on the treadmill simply can't match.
You're less likely to lose muscle when you're using it.
A 1999 study published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition looked at two groups of obese subjects put on identical very low (800) calorie diets. One group was given an aerobic exercise only protocol (walking, biking, or jogging four times per week), and the other group was given resistance training only three times per week. After 12 weeks, both groups lost weight. The aerobic exercise group lost 37 pounds, 27 of which was fat and 10 of which was muscle. However, the resistance-training group lost 32 pounds, and 32 pounds were fat, 0 was muscle. (4)
In other words, the resistance training group lost significantly more fat and didn't lose any muscle. Not to mention, when resting metabolic rate was calculated after the study, it was found that the aerobic (cardio) group was burning 210 fewer calories daily. In contrast, the resistance-training group had increased their metabolism by 63 calories per day.
Now that you understand what the Three C's of Metabolic Strength Training are, how they differ from traditional strength training methods, and most importantly, why they're a powerful weapon in your strength training for fat loss training arsenal, you're ready to learn how to use them in your workouts. The next installment of this series will begin showing you how to do just that! Stay tuned.

We will ship the ring in your size.
We are proud to announce our new line of branded Diamonds by Lauren diamonds.
It's easy to see why people are drawn to older diamonds. The older cut design draws light from its surroundings differently than a modern cut diamond. I've heard it said that the facet design of diamonds cut before the advent of electric lights was influenced by the lighting environment of the day, and by the methods available to cut diamonds then.
It could be said that the modern brilliant cut is the pinnacle of diamond design. To some people it is. However, it would be very easy to make the case that in gaining something, as we do with the modern brilliant cut diamond, we also lose something.
For example, modern brilliant cut diamonds can have very tiny facets. Older cut diamonds generally have much larger facet areas. This affects the entire look of the diamond. Which is better? I believe that it is in the eye of the beholder.
Since this is a modern cut diamond, this "vintage" facet pattern is laid on using the most modern technology.
The cutter,
Yoram F, is an artisan who is at the vanguard in "re-creating" the classic cuts.
Why are older cut diamonds rare?
You might ask yourself, since diamonds last virtually forever, what happens to all the older diamonds?
It could very well be that the diamond you select, which is" brand-new", is actually a recut of an old diamond.
I hate to admit it, but this is just another case of profit killing art. To make an analogy: imagine a beautiful building. It was constructed in 1925. Artful porticos.
A developer comes along, and rips that sucker down to put up a mini mall.
When it comes to diamonds, if a diamond was a really good diamond from way back when, it makes all the sense in the world to recut that diamond to modern standards, from a financial standpoint.
That's one reason a lot of the older stones which survived intact, few are high white diamonds.
Why don't we see more older stones in fancy colors?
It stands to reason that when they mined diamonds in the old days, they unearthed some fancy colored diamonds as well. We can only speculate as to why we don't really find that many older cut fancy colored diamonds.
In terms of nowadays: in the photo above you can see 1.35 carat diamond on the left. The three diamonds on the right, all have a more modern type of cut. It is generally believed that this type of more modern cut is better for color retention.
In some ways, the photo proves that point. The Fancy Light Yellow radiant cut seems to give off quite a bit more yellow than the Fancy Light Yellow DBL cushion. Once we set this diamond the color will come out a lot more. But it still won't look as yellow as the modern type of cut in the same color.
Of course, that's not the point. The diamond possesses a totally different type of glitter and light play. There's more white light coming back, as compared to the radiant cut diamonds. It's really a matter of preference. The unique thing here, is that the market generally favors the preference of cutting to radiant, or cushion that looks like a radiant.
These diamonds are unique.
We're working in partnership with this remarkable cutter to create a unique diamond design that epitomizes the qualities we love in a DBL signature stone. You won't find these anywhere else. This wonderful cut will be available from time to time in a range of warmer whites from S to T up to Fancy Yellows, and they will all be absolutely beautiful
Beautiful.... artful facet design combined with the precision execution. The stones are gorgeous. All are laser inscribed.
Now that the diamond
is set, it's actually possible to see the logo reflected on one of the facets
on bottom of the diamond.
You need a strong magnifier
to see it, but it's there
The Ring
This is a handmade platinum ring done by jewelers, setters and polishers,
specializing in micro-setting diamonds. They are the very finest in the
you can see the single cuts- they have a lovely glitter well suited to the
personality of the center stone.
Speaking of that remarkable center diamond- it now looks very much like an
intense yellow.
A remarkable ring.
is our trade stamp- micro-laser engraved into the ring.

- firstname.lastname@example.com
- 906-487-1886
- Academic Office Building 217
- Associate Professor of Sociology and Demography, Social Sciences
- PhD, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2010
- MS, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2004
- BA, University of South Carolina, 1999
I am a multidisciplinary scholar operating at the intersections of sociology, demography, geography, community development, and applied social science. My research is focused on spatial inequality, including patterns of residential segregation and distributions of social and environmental resources. My primary topic of study has been rural communities and especially relationships between community development, internal migration, and resource distribution. A key professional goal is that my scholarship will help to understand and promote rural community sustainability.
The research projects I engage with tend to be either demographic in nature or to focus on community and environmental sociology or both. For example, my research team created a dataset of net migration by age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin for every county in the U.S. 2000-2010. The data can be downloaded from a public website that allows for interactive mapping and chart-making to show patterns each decade back to the 1950s. See www.netmigration.wisc.edu. Colleagues and I have since analyzed these data to understand how net migration by age and race have contributed to racial segregation over time (see Moving toward Integration?) and to understand how patterns of migration vary across different types of rural communities.
Another set of my scholarship investigates how cohort effects contribute to changing patterns of hunter and angler participation over time and across space. This has critical implications for conservation policy, given that license sales and excise taxes are primary funding mechanisms and hunting and fishing are key ways that people engage with the natural world. This work has been supported by state departments of natural resources and by the Great Lakes Fishery Commission.
I am very interested in community engaged scholarship in collaboration with communities on projects related to social and environmental sustainability. This work has motivated my developing interest in just energy transitions in rural communities- what are the challenges and opportunities for rural communities to transition to more sustainable energy sources and infrastructure that supports inclusive rural community development? I was involved in the creation of the Houghton county Energy Efficiency Team (HEET), and recent academic work combines my demographic expertise with emerging solar technologies to explore the economic feasibility for residents of Michigan's Upper Peninsula to get off the grid with solar-hybrid systems. A new collaborative project is investigating the feasibility of developing a community solar system in L'anse, MI. In another example, I've been working on a long-term partnership with Main Street Calumet to understand topics ranging from how the community's First Friday art tours impact community development to exploring the feasibility of tapping into minewater for geothermal energy. My Communities and Research course (SS 4700) engages in these projects, and collaborative reports written by students and community members are available here for public download.
In my personal life, I love hiking, playing and coaching volleyball, cross country skiing, canoeing, and watching sports (especially Badger basketball).

Shoulders are an intensely complicated joint. The shoulder complex is actually made up of 3 different bones forming 4 distinct joints. Over 15 muscles surround the shoulder. There's even a bursa, a fluid filled sac, inside the main shoulder joint to aid in movement.
They are also one of the most flexible joints. From a doctor's perspective, that can be very bad. Flexibility = instability, and instability means its very easy to be injured. Your elbow, which is less flexible than your shoulder, is harder to hurt. A lot less things can go wrong when a joint moves only in a few directions rather than all around.
Shoulder pain is probably the next most common symptom in our office behind spine pain and headaches. And just like that back problem which really started a long time ago before you felt symptoms, your shoulder was starting to wear down long before you felt pain.
If you have shoulder pain, and it was not caused by a trauma, then more than likely it is due to a SICK scapula (shoulder blade). SICK stands for Scapular malposition (the shoulder blade is out of normal alignment), Inferior medial winging (the bottom point of your shoulder blade sticks out), Coracoid pain (if you push on the front part of your shoulder is it painful?), and dysKinesis (the shoulder joint doesn't move properly).
A SICK shoulder is common with individuals that are required to lift their arms above their head often: baseball pitchers, tennis players, painters, electricians, etc. It is caused by muscle imbalance and weakness. Certain muscles, like your rhomboids between your spine and shoulder blade, become weak and let your shoulder blade move when it shouldn't. Your shoulder blade literally rotates up and away from your spine, and when you lift your arm, the joint actually jams together.
While an individual may not actually feel any pain while they have SICK scapula, its still there doing your body harm. When it isn't fixed, these problems can cause rotator cuff tears, degeneration of the spinal joint, numbness and tingling into the arm, and tears of the shoulder itself. These problems are PAINFUL. Certain end results like a tear of the shoulder joint can only be fixed with surgery. So let's stop the majority of shoulder pain before it gets to that point!
It takes the trained chiropractor less than 5 minutes to recognize a SICK scapula. Our unique exercise protocols of a misaligned shoulder can take care of this problem if recognized early enough. Even better, SICK scapula detection is included in all of our exams! We can share with you some exercises to strengthen weak muscles and how to stretch the tight ones. Don't forgot the shoulder is attached the neck and upper back as well.
Call us today at 336-270-3050 and take advantage of this opportunity to get checked out, and we can take care of your SICK scapula before it becomes a real problem!

Evan Williams Ten Rules for Startups came to me yesterday. Wisdom!
- Be Narrow
- Be Different
- Be Casual
- Be Picky
- Be User-Centric
- Be Self-Centered
- Be Greedy
- Be Tiny
- Be Agile
- Be Balanced
- (bonus!): Be Wary
By Evan's scale, iotum is doing pretty well. We're not about casual content creation, so we fail on number 3. We score well on all the others. I'd add one more too:
12. Be Parsimonious (ok, cheap!). Cash is king. We buy office equipment and furniture from bankruptcy sales. We buy from EBay for most other stuff. We ran our company with a single Vonage line for 18 months. We drive to meetings (when possible) rather than fly. Better yet, we use Live Meeting, rather than have the meeting. We make extensive use of hotwire.com to book hotels. We became travel agents ourselves in order to get the agent discount when booking travel. There are a million ways to save money, and every one helps.
We took a seed investment in June 2004, and stretched it to June 2005 when the original budget had it running out in February 2005. That's how cheap we are.

Well, I know it has been a LONG time since I have posted on this blog, and I apologize. But here I am with renewed desire to keep up with a record of our happenings.
First, I will start with the 2 months we spent in Alabama. We picked grapes, went to the doctors, dentists, physical therapy, remodeled bathrooms, worked on Brad and Kate's upstairs, big family reunion....... WOW..... yes, we stayed busy
NOW.... we are back at home in Mexico.... we have now stayed 2 nights in our house.... and we are so blessed to have such great friends and family. Hopefully we will get to get some pictures up soon.
We have started putting the siding on the kitchen today.... YAY....
Please pray for some friends... one is baby Caleb.... and the other is a friend who needs special prayer right now.... we love you.

Banana & Zucchini Muffins with Dark Chocolate Chips
I adapted this recipe from another fellow blogger, her recipe is low fat (and I am sure just wonderful) but I personally don't like using low fat ingredients and I also hate using just the whites of an egg, what the heck do you do with the leftover yolk? I know you can make lots of things with yolk, but lets be realistic, after making muffins who wants to bother with something else, mine end up sitting in the fridge till they go bad. I did include a link if you are wanting a recipe that is lower fat, but these muffins are small so you will most certainly burn the fat off by mid-day, and they are loaded with so many healthy ingredients, the fat is really a non-issue for me. I prefer having a full fat (healthy fat) muffin that satisfies me rather than a lower-fat one that just ends up with me eating something else in 30 minutes, to satisfy cravings...just my opinion.
Makes 12 medium size muffins.
Adapted from Ambitious Kitchen, Skinny Zucchini Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins.
1 Cup unbleached, organic all purpose flour, mine has the germ on so it has more nutrients. Whole wheat flour can be substituted.
1/2 Cup wheat germ
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 Tbsp organic ground cinnamon
3 Small, fair trade, overripe bananas, mashed.
3 Tbsp coconut oil, melted.
1/4 Cup local honey
1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
2 Medium, farm raised eggs, beaten.
1 Cup organic zucchini, shredded, about 1 medium one.
1/4 Cup pasture raised sour cream, yogurt can be used.
1/2 Cup dark chocolate, fair trade mini chips, I like mini because they distribute evenly in small muffins.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Line a muffin tin with liners.
In a clean kitchen towel, squeeze out the excess liquid from the zucchini, and then let hang over a bowl in a fine mesh strainer while you prepare the rest of the muffins, this is a critical step.
In a medium bowl combine the flour, wheat germ, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon. Whisk to combine and break up lumps.
In another bowl combine the bananas, honey, vanilla, eggs and sour cream. Mix well and then add wet to dry and mix just to incorporate, do not over mix. Fold in the zucchini and chocolate chips carefully.
Using an ice cream scoop, scoop the batter into the muffin cups evenly, it might overflow them, this is fine. Bake for 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and spring back to the touch. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving, they will fall apart if you try to remove them while super hot.
Serve with butter or a nice fall pumpkin butter would be wonderful!

Roasted Grape, Blue Cheese & Rosemary Focaccia
This homemade focaccia is crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside and topped with a combination of flavors that is to die for! Roasted grapes provide a sweet burst to contrast creamy, pungent blue cheese and then a sprinkling of sea salt and rosemary rounds it all out. I ate it hot right out of the oven and burned my mouth, moaning with every single bite...not caring one bit! It was seriously the best, best, best bread I have ever made. The recipe is essentially a pizza dough that you allow to rise twice so that it makes a thick, fluffy bread. The outside is baked in lots of extra virgin, heart healthy olive oil for a sweet, crispy texture that, I liken to "french fry" bread. This bread is so perfect for anything: soup, salad, dipping in egg yolk or even giving it away as a gift...its a super special treat that every single person will love! The hardest part is waiting the 2 hours for it to rise, but I assure you it is so worth it.
Adapted from Anne Burrell's focaccia recipe.
1 3/4 Cups warm tap water
1 Package active dry yeast, I used one specifically for pizza crust.
1 Tbsp fair trade, organic raw cane sugar
4 Cups unbleached, organic all purpose flour, more for kneading.
1 Cup wheat germ
1 Tbsp fine sea salt
1 Tbsp coarse finishing sea salt
1 Cup extra virgin olive oil
1 Cup organic green grapes
1 Tbsp fair trade, organic raw cane sugar
2 Tbsp fresh, organic rosemary, leaves only, chopped finely.
1/4 Cup blue cheese crumbles, I used Ewe's Blue from Old Chatham Sheepherding Company, a sheep's milk blue cheese.
Combine the warm water, yeast and 1 tbsp of sugar in a small bowl and set in a warm place for 15 minutes, it will be bubbly and aromatic when it is ready.
In a large bowl combine the flour, wheat germ and fine sea salt, whisk to combine well. Add in the water, yeast mixture and 1/2 cup of olive oil. Mix it with your hands for about 5 to 6 minutes making it into a dough ball. The mixture will probably be sticky, just add a little flour if it becomes unmanageable.
Flour a work surface and knead the dough on the floured surface for 4 minutes, adding flour as needed to get a soft, non-sticky dough.
Place the dough back in the large bowl, with a bit of olive oil, just to keep it from sticking, about 1 tbsp. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and set in a warm place to rise, for 1 hour.
While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Lay out the grapes in one layer on a baking sheet and sprinkle with 1 Tbsp of sugar. Roast for 10 minutes or until they are browned and slightly charred. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Coat a large baking sheet, like one you use for jelly rolls with 1/4 cup of olive oil, place your dough onto the sheet and spread out with your fingers to make it fit the sheet, dimpling it with your fingers to make the signature "focaccia crags."
Top with the roasted grapes, blue cheese, rosemary and finishing salt, evenly. Drizzle with the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil and allow to rise for another hour, in the same warm place, I didn't cover mine but you can, if you do it very carefully.
Bake in a 425 degree oven for 20-25 minutes, or until it is golden brown and springs back to your touch.
Remove and allow to cool for 10 minutes before cutting, I say this, but I ate mine right away and I don't regret it one bit!

Hahahahahaha ... very curiously, what does "Africa" have to do with this though?
@叮噹叔叔 (妇协杂工) ...hahaha...go thruogh that link above to see if Africa is not involved.
Hahahahahaha,I promise to check this later,and for the moment,hope this makes life easier。。。
it sounds interesting and its fresh,"underway".....
Hahahahaha ... a promise, is a promise, even if I had to read it at 6:30 am in the morning ...
I am not into economics, not in touch with the news, and not even have a sense of how much is "billion" (yes, I am really that uneducated), however, having been covering and editing much of the news clippings for the last 9 months or so, I dont really see 6bn or even 42bn (?) as a big number, since this wont happen within less than a year but over a few (even many more) years... and needless to say, other than some Chinese companies are making money out of it, I dont see it as a a factor to the boom of China economy, and how Africa, as a continent, had contributed to this ... and the news is only about Congo ...
Could anyone correct what I had said please?
China's booming economy has almost nothing to do with Africa RIGHT NOW, considering that...eg. the GDP of the entire Afica continent is only about one fifth of that of China. However, I think Africa is important to China in the future, and one significant reason is that it would take decades for China to raise its domestic consumption level to the level of its output, which means that China would still be a major exporter. However, China knows that it cannot just rely on the US market for that basically the US produces almost no stuffs that the US wanna sell while China wanna buy, which causes big trade surplus -- basically just a number that keeps on depreciating. Africa gets what China want: raw materials like lumber and crude oil, so that if China want, a trading balance can be always achieved.
I believe that labor outsourcing is another reason for China's moves in Africa, however, I don't think it's the first concern right now, coz it would also take China decades to complete the industry upgrading, or you can consider it the human resource upgrading. Before that, China dare not to give up the "made in China" industry, even tho the profit margin is quite low, because the very very first concern of the Chinese government is not even the economic growth, but the unemployment rate: tens of millions of umemployed farmers would be a disaster for the social stability.

Congressman Steve King questioned Attorney General Eric Holder today in the Judiciary Committee regarding the Fast and the Furious scandal. King released the following statement after the hearing:
"I hope they have caught the murderer of Brian Terry, that'd go a long ways towards solving this," King said. "But meanwhile we have a government that was dysfunctional. We have some, at least 150 maybe as many as 300 Mexicans that have been killed by the guns that were run out of the southern part of the United States with the blessing of the Justice Department and the people that they regulate. And so we have Brian Terry who is dead in a tragic death and shooting."
King added, "The last time that Holder testified before us was May 3 of this year and when he was asked when he learned about Fast and Furious, he said "I'm not sure of the exact date, but I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks." He has since had to retract his statement because the facts prove him wrong. Today when asked by Congressman Issa if he had provided all of the information requested, he said yes, but later in the hearing Congressman Franks was able to ask the question in a different way and found that Eric Holder had not produced the information requested by the Oversight Committee."

This isn't your cheapest option, but you definitely get a lot more nutrition with the added natural ingredients that ketones alone cannot offer.
What are raspberry ketones?
Raspberry ketones are primarily found in raspberries, but other fruits contain ketones as well.
Aside from being found in weight loss products, raspberry ketones can also be found in food as a flavoring and fragrance agent and even used in cosmetics.
In addition to this, raspberry ketones contain a substance similar to synephrine (1) which is often marketed as a powerful weight loss supplement.
They also promote increased metabolic rates, support normal and healthy appetites and support enhancement of energy.
When you take raspberry ketone supplements, it's common that you eat less and burn more calories with regular exercise and a healthy diet. That's because ketones are natural and will help you lose weight without having to experience the harsh side effects of synthetic diet compounds.
How do raspberry ketone supplements work?
Raspberry ketone supplements increase the nonadrenaline-induced fat loss. It works through lipase (2), an enzyme that is responsible for freeing fatty acids from the fat cell during the process of fat utilization.
Once you have taken raspberry ketones, a level of lipase are increased in the body and therefore increases the rate of fatty acid release.
In addition, raspberry ketones are similar in structure to capsaicin (3) which can be found in chili peppers and cayenne peppers and helps boost metabolism. Raspberry ketone supplements can help enhance the fat burning process and can reduce the fatty tissue in the body.
The compound found in this particular supplement helps produce a hormone which helps break down fat cells faster, especially in the liver.
This results to users losing weight faster. They work by eliminating fat storage in your body and enhancing your metabolism. It prevents obesity by altering the metabolism of fat.
The compound in this supplement helps enhance the adiponectin protection of the body which then regulates metabolism and breaks down fats.
Most raspberry ketone supplements can deliver visible results in as little as two weeks. To get the maximum effectiveness of this supplement, it is important that proper dosage is understood and followed.
This supplement is recommended to be taken once or twice a day with meals and dosage is between 100mg and 200mg daily. Ideally, you can take raspberry ketones once a day, preferably after breakfast but you can increase this to 200mg daily, taken at breakfast and lunch depending on your weight loss goal.
What are the possible side effects of raspberry ketones?
There has never been a scientific study performed on humans to determine the side effects of this supplement, however some users have reported some side effects that they have experienced.
Raspberry ketones supplements are generally safe but some users could experience increased blood pressure, jitteriness, palpitations, and increased heartbeat.
It is also believed that raspberry ketone supplements can be harmful to patients that have chronic conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, high blood pressure and asthma.
The compound in this supplement could boost norepinephrine production (4) which can cause high blood pressure and may be harmful to the nervous system.
Raspberry ketones are made with synephrine which has been reported as cause of jitteriness which can also lead to insomnia.
If you have diabetes, make sure to consult your doctor first before taking this supplement as it may lower your blood sugar levels and decrease the risk of bleeding.
Expectant and breastfeeding mothers, people suffering from chronic conditions and high blood pressure are not advised to take this supplement.
Stay away from dangerous weight loss chemicals and feel safe about losing weight with raspberries.
If you are trying to lose weight in a healthy manner, raspberry ketones are the way to go.
They're powerful, fast-acting, and natural.

Matt Mitrione Thinks Bout with 'Rampage' Jackson Would Break Bellator Ratings Records
Matt Mitrione will make his Bellator MMA debut at Scottrade Center in St. Louis on June 24, the same night Quinton Jackson returns to the California-based promotion.
Jackson will headline Bellator 157 "Dynamite 2" against Satoshi Ishii in a 215-pound catch-weight bout, while Mitrione will square off against Carl Seumanutafa in a featured heavyweight contest. If all goes as planned, Mitrione believes a future showdown against "Rampage" could be big business -- provided the former UFC light heavyweight champ doesn't return to 205 pounds.
"If Rampage really thinks that he wants to fight me and have the last fight of his career, I would happily try to punch a hole in his face," Mitrione told Sherdog.com. "But I don't know, for as far as I'm concerned, Rampage is a 205er. I don't know what he wants to do and how he wants to do it, but if [he's down, I'm down]. I'm just trying to get paid."
The late Kimbo Slice was Bellator's biggest attraction, as his bout with Ken Shamrock in June 2015 drew 2.1 million viewers to Spike TV during their headlining tilt, while his grudge match with Dhafir Harris this past February peaked at an audience of 2.5 million. Those are difficult figures to surpass, but Mitrione thinks it's doable given the right matchup.
"I believe that a fight between Rampage and myself could break the Kimbo record of viewers, ratings," he said. "I'm not afraid of lofty goals."
Mitrione, Jackson and Slice all were part of "The Ultimate Fighter" Season 10, which was one of the reality show's highest rated seasons in large part because of the presence of Slice, as well as the coaching rivalry between Jackson and Rashad Evans. Mitrione, who later defeated the YouTube brawler via second-round TKO at UFC 113, remembers the Florida native as someone who might have been unfairly labeled because of his image.
"Kimbo was a really good dude. I had a good relationship with him. Family man. He was a father. He got branded as a thug because [of his appearance], but he was a really good dude, man," Mitrione said. "It's sad that all this happened, that he got branded as a thug when he really wasn't, but Kimbo the person was a good man, and I'm glad I could call him a friend."
Mitrione will have plenty of opportunity to make an impact in the Bellator heavyweight division, especially with the promotion's recent decision to strip Vitaly Minakov of the title due to inactivity. Whether its Seumanutafa, Jackson or someone else, "Meathead" doesn't have much of a preference as long as the fights are fun.
"There's all kinds of names in the heavyweight division that interest me," he said. "To be honest with you, the game plan is simple: I want to fight somebody that doesn't try to A. get me pregnant, or B. run away. It doesn't matter who it is. I'm down for the cause."

In the very first time in China, I faced many difficulties in communication because of my poor in Chinese language. Even though the teachers in language classes are young, they are very clever and patient in learning Chinese to understand easily for the foreign students. Gradually, I am very familiar with the people and their language; that I can release my pressures in living foreign economy. Moreover, I can study and practice two languages in here, Chinese in language classes and English in major classes. The teachers in all the lectures in major class are very precious for me, so that I can build up more knowledge in Forestry. Above all, I would like to say my thanks to BFU and all of my Chinese teachers and friends.
--Ei Sandi Sett(Myanmar)
I have gained knowledge about temperate forest management and the forest tenure system that has been applied in China and other forestry systems. My supervisor and also my Chinese friends are really helpful.
--Digambar Singh Dahal(Nepal)
When I took Forest Policy class Prof. KeShui Fa 1 year ago, I do not understand about the Chinese community forests. After the field trips I was able to understand, both advantages and disadvantages. I hope be useful for community forest management in Indonesia. APFNet hopefully be successful in their projects and useful for many people. Hopefully we can also be invited again to another province. Thank you, APFNet!
--ArifSulfiantono (Indonisa)
During the excursion, I had chance of close to nature plantation management system of Forest Farm, community co-management system and also can learn a lot of ideal and technical measures of forest management system in China. We have visited 1965 larch plantation (farm forest) in HouAoBao Forest in InnerMongolia. Total area is 40.0 ha. Plantations are managing only for timber and seed production. Undergrowth is very healthy but rabbit and jackal are found. Hopefully, in future students will come to learn more knowledge.
--AZM Hasanur Rahman (Bangladesh)
After two years studying and researching in Beijing Forestry University, I have completed my dissertation under the guidance and the support of many people. I would like to express my wholeheartedly acknowledge to BFU, School of Forestry as well as APFNet for providing full financial support during the two years.
--Nguyen Trong Minh(Vietnam)
All the time I confronted with difficulties while living and studying in Beijing. I think it was a really useful and valuable experience in studying abroad. Finally I was able to overcome the obstacle. Definitely, there were not only difficulties, but there are so many bright and pleasant moments which are happened with me. I got acquainted with a lot of interesting people from all over the world, learned different facts about China and its culture and history.

I would like to say I really appreciate and value all the time of study in China and never forget it.

Being an international student from Vietnam, I have some feeling about the good conditions of studying at BFU after 2 years when I have been here. I have studied and worked at some other universities so I had impressions about the atmosphere of studying in BFU. Firstly, teachers are so kind and friendly. They work very enthusiasm and create the best conditions for students, especially for the international students. Moreover, with their attitude being nice and friendly, BFU makes good inspirations for studying so learning processing is very quality. Secondly, the studying environment is very good and accommodated. BFU has a wide and clean campus which is so comfortable and favorable for studying and living. As a result of preparing activities for students such as sports and arts, students who study in BFU have opportunities to improve their knowledge and health.

I would like to express my greatest thankfulness to the committee of my master program. Especially, the Asia-Pacific Network for Sustainable Forest Management and Rehabilitation (APFNet), which granted me the scholarship program to pursue my Master's degree at Beijing Forest University (BFU).
--Khambay KHAMPHILAVONG (Laos)
I would like to thank APFNet for this great opportunity and for help us during these two years of study. It is a really good chance for us to learn Chinese culture, language and the knowledge of forestry. Now I am much better confident than before.

Press Release
The new SilverCreek SNMP counter tests generate normal and malformed (IPv4 and IPv6) packets via Scapy and then verify a correct count in the counters of the receiving network device, all in one seamless operation.
SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif. (August 29, 2012) - InterWorking Labs, the developer of SilverCreek, the authoritative SNMP Test Suite, announced new SNMP Counter Tests for assuring correct billing and network monitoring of equipment used by service providers.
The new SilverCreek SNMP Counters Test Suite provides comprehensive conformance and compliance testing in one integrated package. The tests utilize the new standards for IPv6 - aware counters. Through integration with the Scapy software packet generator, both normal and malformed packets are generated and checked to verify correct operation. SilverCreek tells Scapy to send certain kinds of packets to the networked device under test; the device must appropriately increment its counters and report the correct count to SilverCreek, all in one seamless operation. The result is an easy method to verify that networked devices, such as switches, routers, servers, etc. are correctly counting incoming packets, and operating properly, so that management information as well as customer bills are correct.
"If you have ever received a wildly incorrect bill from your cell phone provider or your ISP, you have probably been the victim of an improperly implemented SNMP counter," said Chris Wellens, President & CEO, InterWorking Labs. "Very often, service providers depend on SNMP counters in routers and switches to compute traffic consumption and utilization by their customers. An incorrect counter means an incorrect bill. With the new SilverCreek SNMP Counters Test Suite, service providers can verify that they are properly invoicing their customers based on actual utilization."
New Support for "IPv6 – aware" Counters
Over the last twelve months, service providers, as well as most global 2000 organizations, have accelerated their adoption rate of IPv6.
The IPv6 MIBs (management information base) define and organize the information required to manage, troubleshoot and diagnose IPv6 network operation:
- RFC 4293 Management Information Base for the Internet Protocol (IP)
- RFC 4022 Management Information Base for the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
- RFC 4113 Management Information Base for the User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
New network devices incorporating the IPv6 MIBs require test and verification of their counters.
The new version of SilverCreek has more than 140 new tests to verify if an IPv6 - aware counter is correctly counting valid packets as well as invalid packets, and incrementing the counter appropriately.
Integrated Software Packet Generator
Scapy is a freely available Python packet manipulation program, available for Windows and Linux. Scapy provides SilverCreek users with a software-based packet generator, able to forge normal and malformed SNMP packets, and send them on the wire to the device under test.
InterWorking Labs has integrated Scapy with SilverCreek, so that engineers can use a complete solution, for immediate test results. No time consuming integration of the two products is required.
With the Scapy integration, InterWorking Labs has created "the universal remote" of SNMP counter testing; clients can avoid the headaches of learning the ins and outs of multiple products and just concentrate on making sure that the IPv6 - aware counters are working properly. Service providers will have more confidence that the traffic consumption and utilization statistics are accurate.
