text: Corn Yield Projections Down, but Above Expectations September 13, 2012 03:31 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By University News Release Email By Jennifer Stewart, Purdue University Corn and soybean yield projections decreased Wednesday (Sept. 12) as the nation's Corn Belt continues to suffer through the worst drought since at least 1956. According to a U.S. Department of Agriculture Crop Production report, the nation's corn crop could be just 10.7 billion bushels, down less than 1 percent from the Aug. 10 report and 13 percent from 2011. Those numbers represent the smallest corn crop since 2006. While the corn yield projections declined, Purdue Extension agricultural economist Chris Hurt said they didn't drop as much as expected compared with the August report. "The surprise was on the corn market. Corn yields were not dropped very much – about six-tenths of a bushel per acre," Hurt said. "What we saw is that in the primary Midwest, especially Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska, the yields all came down some. But in the southern tier of states, we actually saw an increase in yields, so we kind of had an offset." Soybean production was forecast at 2.63 billion bushels, down 2 percent since August and 14 percent from 2011. The projections are slightly less than what Hurt said markets anticipated. Indiana's corn and soybean yield projections held steady from August to September. The USDA anticipated 605 million bushels of corn, down 28 percent from 2011. Indiana soybeans were projected at 184.6 million bushels, down 22 percent from 2011. Wednesday corn markets were bearish on the heels of the release of the USDA report, but soybean futures prices jumped. Cash corn prices for new crop ranged from $7.75 to $8 per bushel, while new crop-cash soybean prices averaged between $17 and $17.50 in Indiana. Hurt said the report can give corn and soybean growers some insight for marketing the crops. "As we think about marketing, there certainly are some differences between corn and soybeans," he said. "For corn, current bids into the storage season are relatively flat going across the fall and into the spring, without substantial increases or decreases. What that tells us is that storing corn still makes some sense if one believes corn prices can still rally and that there is limited concern about a major drop in prices. "Soybeans are different because of the very large South American production. If they have a reasonable growing season, we're going to start seeing lower soybean prices by maybe January and especially February and March." The strong cash and futures prices will help some grain producers offset drought-induced harvest losses. October grain prices also will influence the amount some insured producers will receive in indemnity payments. But the reduced yields and high prices do little to help the negative profit margins of livestock producers struggling to feed their herds. "The livestock industry gets just a tiny bit of reprieve in the sense that corn isn't as desperately short as I think many people thought going into this report," Hurt said. "On the other hand, corn prices aren't going to fade substantially. It's going to be very difficult for the livestock industry to just hold on as cash flows are probably going to be negative for the most part." …………………………… Coverage, Analysis of the Sept. 12 Reports See all of the data, coverage and analysis of today's World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates and Crop Production reports.

There is no shortage of spirited debate over state education policy, with issues like MCAS, charter schools and merit pay for teachers regularly in the headlines. But the Commonwealth's regional vocational-technical high schools don't spark much controversy, because most everyone agrees they are a Massachusetts success story.
There is no shortage of spirited debate over state education policy, with issues like MCAS, charter schools and merit pay for teachers regularly in the headlines. But the Commonwealth's regional vocational-technical high schools don't spark much controversy, because most everyone agrees they are a Massachusetts success story.
MCAS scores for the 26 voc-techs have jumped 40 percent since 2001. Their graduation and MCAS pass rates both top state averages, and dropouts are less than half as frequent as in other public high schools.
There are a number of reasons for the schools' success. Research shows that the same level of skills is required for entry-level career success as for college entrance. Today, the technical manuals voc-tech students will have to use are written at up to a grade 14 reading level. Math plays a large role in occupations like carpentry and automobile technology, and science expertise is needed for everything from metal fabrication to the agricultural fields.
In response to the research findings, voc-techs upgraded their academic programs. Coincidentally, the upgrades were undertaken soon after passage of the Commonwealth's landmark 1993 Education Reform Act, which put high standards in place for all public school students. Assabet Valley Regional Vocational-Technical School Superintendent Eugene Carlo, who had initially been an opponent, declared in 2006, "MCAS was the best thing that ever happened to us."
Today, all voc-tech teachers hold an academic license in their field of instruction and a number of the schools offer Advanced Placement courses.
Vocational-technical schools also have the autonomy to be responsive to their students. Each school has control over its budget and has its own superintendent and school committee. Within parameters set by state academic and vocational-technical education curriculum frameworks, the schools are able to tailor their program to student needs. Blackstone Valley Regional Vocational-Technical School, for example, has increased the length of its school year by 15 days.
The schools have also forged close relationships with local businesses. Each program of study within a school has an advisory committee of industry professionals who advise teachers on which skills will be most marketable for their students.
One testament to the quality of voc-tech graduates is the investment employers make in the schools. Ford Motor Company donated more than $1 million worth of diagnostic equipment to Assabet Valley. Companies like Intel and local hospitals regularly donate state-of-the-art equipment to the schools.
But perhaps an even better testament to their success is parents' interest in them. Voc-techs are schools of choice, and the numbers indicate that parents and students like what they see. More than 27,000 Massachusetts students attend voc-techs and over 2,800 are on waiting lists. Enrollment is up 15 percent during the last decade, even as the Commonwealth's overall public school enrollment is declining.
Nearly one-quarter of statewide voc-tech students are on individualized education plans, well above the statewide average of 17 percent. Part of the reason voc-techs boast higher MCAS pass rates than other public schools is because of their success educating these special needs students. More than 80 percent of voc-techs' special education students graduate, compared to about 63 percent at other public schools in Massachusetts.
Accountability is always critical in public education. Of the Commonwealth's 26 voc-techs and three regional agricultural schools, 19 were audited by the now-defunct Office of Educational Quality and Accountability. Fourteen were judged to be performing adequately, but five were put on watch. By 2005, all five had been re-audited and removed from the watch list. One former voc-tech superintendent noted that school leaders used the audits to drive improvement.
Voc-techs'use of individualized intervention and remediation could be a model for turning around low-performing schools. The schools' successes educating under-served populations suggest that urban areas might consider opening charter vocational-technical schools. And the same integration of academics and vocational education could be a model for the development of visual and performing arts schools.
Vocational-technical schools' combination of autonomy, choice, close relationships with employers and the successful integration of academic and vocational education is a proven recipe for success. It's also one that should be replicated in schools across Massachusetts.

Visiting Professor, Department of Pathology
Visiting Professor, Dominick P. Purpura Department of Neuroscience
The research in my laboratory is aimed at identifying mechanisms that establish stereotyped patterns of connectivity in the developing vertebrate and invertebrate central nervous system (CNS). Our vertebrate studies are aimed at understanding how growing axons navigate through intermediate targets/choice points and ultimately connect with their appropriate targets, and how those axons, which leave the CNS, choose the appropriate exit point. The invertebrate studies are directed toward identifying molecular mechanisms that control dendrite branching. To achieve these goals, we work with both well-studied and understudied classes of vertebrate spinal interneurons and motor neurons and a unique C. elegans neuron that extends highly branched dendrites. Our main focus is on understanding the mechanisms that control the pathfinding of spinal commissural axons, a major class of midline-crossing axons in the developing CNS. In these studies, we use novel in vitro assay systems, chick in ovo electroporation and a large array of transgenic reporter, as well as, mutant mice to identify guidance cues and their corresponding receptors, which regulate the pathfinding of genetically distinct populations of spinal commissural axons. By manipulating guidance receptor expression in mouse and chick embryos, we are also investigating how dynamic changes in the spatial distribution of these receptors influence various aspects of commissural axon pathfinding within the spinal cord. In addition, we are identifying synaptic targets for genetically distinct commissural axons and elucidating the molecular mechanisms that guide specific subsets of commissural axons from the spinal cord to the brain. A parallel effort is aimed at identifying the molecular logic that regulates the development of spinal accessory motor neurons, a unique class of spinal motor neurons that projects axons to and through discrete and readily identifiable lateral exit points. These studies make use of cell surface markers and reporter mice that selectively label spinal accessory motor neurons and their axons, as well as our previous observation that a particular transcription factor is required for the exit of spinal accessory motor axons from the CNS. In ongoing studies, we are attempting to determine the mechanisms through which particular cell surface receptors facilitate the exit of these axons. In our C. elegans studies, we have carried large scale RNAi screens to identify molecules that regulate the branching of dendrites associated with the PVD neuron. Thus far, our results implicate a key role for dynein microtubule motors and associated proteins, as well as a protein that interacts with the Fragile-X Mental Retardation Protein, and basement membrane components, in regulating the proper formation of dendritic arbors in the C. elegans nervous system.

Re: SONM Awards 2016
Not to sound like someone looking to stir-up controversy, but I think the awards should be postponed until the topic of saving SONM can be resolved.
At least then we can either have awards to commemorate the rebirth of the forums, or as a final hoorah.

Aug. 25, 2006
Stanford, Calif. - The 18th ranked Santa Clara men's soccer team (1-0-0) opened its season with an impressive 1-0 win on the road against the Stanford Cardinal (0-1-0). Peter Lowry scored the game's lone goal on a penalty kick early in the second half and the Broncos experienced defense clamped down on the Cardinal to earn the shutout. SCU has now beaten Stanford three straight times and is unbeaten in their past four matches against them.
Despite some early nerves with some new faces in the line-up, the Broncos started the match strong, keeping the Cardinal off balance and limiting their possession. They also created a number of opportunities, but could not convert in the final third.
One of the team's best chances in the first half came off the foot of sophomore transfer Brian Martin at the 25 minute mark. Freshman Amaechi Igwe set the play up with some nifty work in midfield before sending a perfectly weighted ball into the box. The ball came down to Martin 15 yards from goal, but his left-footed volley sailed high keeping the match scoreless.
Besides Igwe, four other freshmen got their first taste of college soccer in the first half with Stephen McCarthy starting and playing well in the midfield. Sean Danzeiser and Jeff Cosgriff also saw time with Cosgriff receiving a strong ovation from some hometown fans. Cosgriff is from nearby San Bruno and played his high school soccer at St. Ignatius.
Just before halftime, two of those freshmen nearly connected for the game's first goal. Captain Peter Lowry started the play with a great ball down the left wing to Igwe, who faked to his left before slotting a pass across to McCarthy. McCarthy side-footed a low shot to the near post, but it was just off target.
At halftime, the Broncos had dominated possession and held the Cardinal to just two shots one of which found the frame. Bronco goalkeeper Joseph Buttita was steady in his first game, coming off his line to punch some balls clear and making the one save to preserve the clean sheet.
Coming out of halftime, head coach Cameron Rast inserted freshmen forward Ryan Brown and he made an immediate impact. After saving an errant pass on the sideline he battled through two tackles to break free on the left wing. The Montclair, NJ native then knocked a pass into the box for Martin, who turned his defender and broke to goal. Just as Martin attempted to shoot, he was brought down and referee Yader Reyes pointed to the spot.
Lowry calmly stepped up and slotted home the penalty kick past a diving Brent Stewart in the 49th minute to give the Broncos the only goal they would need.
With the SCU backline of Jamil Roberts, Matt Marquess, Brian Curry and Matt Hatzke playing well, the Cardinal could not find any gaps in the Bronco defense and Rast's squad earned their first shutout of the season.
Next up for the Broncos is California, who comes to Buck Shaw Stadium on Sunday, Aug. 27 for a 7:00 p.m. PT game.

Let's stop business closures caused by late payments
Every year across Europe thousands of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) go bankrupt waiting for their invoices to be paid. Yet late payment of bills is often seen by many as a perfectly acceptable practice. It is time to end this damaging culture of late payment in Europe.
Why do we need a late payment campaign?
Businesses are at risk of failing due to liquidity problems. A recent survey reveals that the written off debt suffered by Europe's businesses has grown to 2.8% of total receivables, to reach the unprecedented level of €340billion, a figure equalling the total debt of Greece, representing one third of total annual healthcare spending across the EU's 27 countries and amounting to more than double the EU's total 2102 budget of €147 billion1. And there is also a divide between the north and the south which is severely hampering the integration of the EU's single market: it takes an average of 91 days for B2B transactions to be paid in the southern region, as compared to an average of 31 days in the north2.
How does the EU help stop late payments?
The Late Payment Directive 2011/7/EU is crucial for the completion of the single market and for restoring normal lending to the economy. The Directive must be transposed into national law in all Member States by March 16 2013. However, the economic crisis and its detrimental effects on European enterprises, in particular SMEs, prompted the European Commission to ask Member States to consider early implementation of the directive.
The Directive corresponds to a real need to switch to a culture of prompt payment in commercial transactions between businesses, and between businesses and public authorities. Its main provisions include the setting of a maximum period for the receipt of payment for goods and services in commercial transactions with public authorities, conferring more rights to enterprises facing late payment, increasing transparency and awareness raising and increasing the statutory interest rate.
What is the late payment campaign and how will it be run?
The European Commission's Late Payment Information Campaign aims to highlight the issue of late payments amongst public authorities, businesses, members of the judiciary and other interested parties. Its objective is to change the attitudes of public authorities and business to paying bills on time, and provide businesses with information on the new measures being introduced to support prompt payment. It consists of a series of national seminars in Member States of the European Union that will highlight the harm being done to businesses as a result of late payments, and explain the new measures being introduced to combat the issue.
Summary of new law under the EU's Late Payment Directive
What's new in commercial transactions between public authorities and businesses?
If you are a public authority you need to know that:
If you are a business involved in a commercial transaction with a public authority, you need to know that:
1. When signing the contract:
2. When facing late payments from a public authority:
You are not obliged to, but you have the right to take these actions against your debtor.
What's new in commercial transactions between businesses?
If you are a business involved in a commercial transaction with another business, you need to note that:
If you are a creditor:
In cases of late payment, you are entitled to claim interest for the late payment without a reminder. You can also request reimbursement of the recovery costs for the late payment. To stop any abuse of negotiation power, you have further opportunities under the Directive to challenge grossly unfair contractual terms and practices.
You are not obliged to, but you have the right to take these actions against your debtor.
As a European business dealing with commercial transactions in another Member State, this Directive should make your life easier. From now on your Member State will make public all relevant information on late payment including the interest rate that applies to the corresponding period. The Commission, with the assistance of the Member States, will publish online the interest rate for late payments.
Attend a national seminar
As part of the pan-European information campaign to raise awareness of the issue of late payment and support early implementation by Member States of the Late Payments Directive, the Commission is hosting national seminars in each Member State. These information seminars are an opportunity for relevant parties to better understand the problem of late payments in their country, and receive useful information, training and advice about the combative measures provided by the Late Payment Directive, and other statutory instruments.
The agenda for each national seminar includes an introduction to the issue of late payments, an overview of the Late Payment Directive 2011/7/EU, training Session 1: Business to Business (B2B) and Public Authorities to Business (PA2B),Transparency Rules, Unfair Contractual Terms and Practices, and Recovery Costs, and training Session 2: Steps and Instruments to Overcome Late Payments in Commercial Transactions. There will also be an opportunity to network over coffee and a buffet lunch.

Symbolic computing is critical for solving complex technical problems since it allows engineers and scientists to find general solutions to their problems that can quickly be evaluated for a wide range of conditions. Having a solution displayed symbolically not only ensures that your solution is exact, but it also gives you insight into the underlying mathematical structure of your problem. Symbolic math can be applied to a wide range of applications, including:
• Developing mathematical models of mechanical or electrical systems (e.g. hydraulic pump, electrical circuit, crankshaft)
• Applying econometric models to predict inflation and unemployment levels
• Modeling biological systems and solving differential equations to study the effectiveness of potential drug compounds
Symbolic computing is also used extensively by educators and students throughout engineering, science, and mathematics departments.
This webinar shows how the new capabilities in Symbolic Math Toolbox make it easy to perform symbolic computations from MATLAB. It will show how you can leverage the extensive functionality available in the toolbox and conveniently manage and document your symbolic computations. You will also see how you can extend the built in functionality available in the toolbox by developing your own custom symbolic functions and libraries.
Previous knowledge of MATLAB is not required for this webinar.

Huskers Soar Past Golden Eagles
Lincoln - No. 22 Nebraska's Blackshirt defense hauled in four interceptions and returned two of them for touchdowns, while Taylor Martinez threw three touchdown passes to lead a balanced offense in a 56-13 win over Southern Miss Saturday.
Playing in front of the NCAA-record 327th consecutive sellout at Memorial Stadium and a Big Ten Network audience, the Huskers improved to 2-0 and stretched their home non-conference winning streak to 14 games and 10 straight home wins overall.
Nebraska finished the night with 479 total yards, including 285 rushing and 194 passing. Junior I-back Ameer Abdullah led NU's ground game with 17 carries for 114 yards and his first two touchdown runs of the season.
Martinez went 15-for-23 through the air for 170 yards and three scores, while adding 34 yards on six carries, seeing his last action of the night early in the third quarter before giving way to Ron Kellogg III and Tommy Armstrong Jr.
Freshman I-back Terrell Newby added 60 yards rushing, while Armstrong added 23 yards on four carries. King Frazier also boosted the running attack with four carries for 21 yards on NU's final drive of the game, while Imani Cross added the Huskers' final touchdown of the game early in the fourth quarter.
While the offense enjoyed substituting freely and spreading the ball around with the lopsided win, the Blackshirts celebrated a strong effort. Nebraska's defense intercepted four passes, including a pair by senior Ciante Evans, who returned his first pick for a touchdown in the opening quarter. It was NU's second pick-six of the first quarter, after senior corner Stanley Jean-Baptiste put the Huskers on the board with his 43-yard interception return for a score less than two minutes into the game.
The Blackshirts held Southern Miss to 284 total yards, including 62 on the ground. In fact, USM had just four rushing yards until midway through the fourth quarter. In addition to the three combined interceptions by Evans (2) and Jean-Baptiste, Corey Cooper grabbed the first interception of his career for Nebraska.
The Blackshirts also notched nine tackles for loss on the day. Harvey Jackson led the Huskers with seven tackles, including a tackle for loss that helped thrwart a late USM scoring threat.
In a strong first-half performance, the Blackshirts not only kept a pass-happy Southern Miss offense out of the end zone, they scored a pair of defensive touchdowns of their own.
Jean-Baptiste got the Huskers on the board quickly by jumping a short route on the third play from scrimmage by Southern Miss, intercepting an Allan Bridgford pass and sprinting 43 yards untouched into the end zone for NU's first defensive score of the season. Jean-Baptiste's second interception of the season gave the Big Red a 7-0 lead just 1:13 into the game. It was Jean-Baptiste's second career interception return for a touchdown and his third interception in his last six games.
The Southern Miss offense rebounded to drive into scoring position midway through the first quarter, but the Blackshirts stiffened and the Golden Eagles had to settle for a 32-yard field goal by Corey Acosta. Nebraska led 7-3 until Martinez connected with Quincy Enunwa from 16 yards out for their third touchdown connection of the young season. Enunwa finished with five catches for 58 yards to lead the Huskers on the night.
The touchdown catch came with 1:24 left in the opening quarter, and Evans was celebrating in the end zone less than 10 seconds later. Evans, a Husker captain, grabbed his second interception of the year and sprinted 22 yards to paydirt for NU's second defensive touchdown of the quarter. It marked the first time since the Huskers' win over Idaho in 2010 that the Blackshirts scored a pair of defensive touchdowns in the same game.
The Huskers extended their lead in the second quarter with Abdullah's first touchdown run of the season, a one-yard plunge with 7:01 left in the half to put NU up 28-3. The Golden Eagles managed a 45-yard Acosta field with 3:11 left, before Kenny Bell put an exclamation point on Nebraska's half with a highlight reel, juggling touchdown grab in the middle of the end zone. Bell's first touchdown catch of the year sent the Huskers to the locker room with a 35-6 lead. Bell finished the night with three catches for 45 yards.
Bell made another big play for the Big Red early in the second half. Following a quick touchdown march by USM that trimmed the NU margin to 35-13 with 11:43, Bell flew down the right sideline for a 63-yard kickoff return. Bell's return set up Abdullah's 37-yard scoring jaunt on the Huskers' opening play of the drive to put NU up 42-13 with 11:25 left in the third.
The Blackshirts struck again on USM's ensuing offensive possession, when Evans hauled in his second interception of the game and third of the season on the Golden Eagles' second play of the drive.
The Huskers took advantage on the next play, as Martinez hit Sam Burtch on a 26-yard scoring strike to give NU a 49-13 lead with 10:32. It was Burtch's first career catch and gave Martinez his second straight three-touchdown passing performance to open the season.
It was also Martinez's last play of the game, as he gave way to Kellogg on NU's fourth drive of the third quarter.
Nebraska continues its five-game season-opening home stand next Saturday when the Huskers play host to UCLA. Kickoff between NU and the Bruins is set for 11 a.m. with a live national telecast on ABC.

Texas Game Wardens Stayed Busy over Labor Day Weekend
AUSTIN, September 5, 2013 - Labor Day weekend proved to be very busy for Texas Game Wardens who filed a wide variety of hunting, water safety, fishing, and penal code violations.
A total of 2,655 hunting-related citations and warnings were issued. Hunting citations included hunting doves over bait, possession of over the limit of doves, hunting migratory birds with unplugged shotguns, hunting deer in closed season, and no hunter education certificate.
Fishing violations included several gill netting cases as well as commercial fishing violations.
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Game Wardens also filed 268 water safety cases, 36 penal code cases, and made multiple arrests.
State-wide arrests included boating while intoxicated, driving while intoxicated, possession of narcotics, and active warrants.
A Game Warden assigned to Bosque County who was patrolling Lake Whitney looking for water safety violations arrested a man with an active warrant for sexual abuse of a child.
In Liberty County, Game Wardens assisted the Liberty County Sheriff's Office with a water recovery of a homicide victim.
Game Wardens also investigated several hunting accidents, boating accidents, and drownings as well as searches and boater assists.
"I'm proud of the work our Game Wardens are doing to protect our natural resources while also providing public safety to the people of Texas," said TPWD Law Enforcement Division Director Col. Craig Hunter. "The number of compliments and lack of complaints given the number of contacts made is a testament to their professionalism."

I've been thinking for some time about buying a small downtown Madison garage, as a combination of a personal real estate investment (presuming it's a buyer's market right now) and the desire to establish a community of bike enthusiasts that, like me, don't have a garage and could really use a place to work on bikes and hang out. There are a lot of bikes on the street in my downtown neighborhood, owned by students and other apartment dwellers, and these folks could use a place with a lift, special tools, manuals, shared expertise and storage. The scope would be worked out by the initial co-op membership, but those are pretty clear concepts. It remains to be seen whether such a co-op would succeed as a community, but I'd like to give it a shot. I know several guys both in the Madison BMW Club and Wisconsin SportBikes that live in apartments and don't really have a decent place to work on their bikes or store them in the winter. And a lot of others just like to hang out around bikes and work on them with friends. A well-stocked fridge will be essential for the co-op, of course, and it'd be good to have events (like movies, parties, workshops, etc.) to draw folks in.
I've thought a bit about the membership profile. I don't care what kind of bike folks ride, but I do feel there is a MAJOR divide between folks that ride safely and those that don't. I don't respect folks that ride motorcycles without helmets. I understand their (in my opinion, deeply misguided) desire for "personal freedom", but I don't agree with it. So, I'd want the co-op to emphasize safe riding, whether it be Beemers, Harleys, or sportbikes, as a core principle.
I've registered a domain and put up a web page just to sort of lay out the concept: http://madisonmotorcyclecoop.org
I'm currently looking at properties with a commercial real estate agent. The nice thing about the project is that it doesn't require that the co-op be "profitable" or even "break even." The core idea is a personal real estate investment. The great thing would be if the co-op can generate some rent through membership dues, but I'm more interested in it becoming an active community of bike enthusiasts. If things went really well, maybe it would add some service and retail activities, like the old Yellow Jersey Bicycle Co-op did in the Seventies. I could imagine some wrenches plying their trade on the premises. Maybe if it did really, really well, and the membership wanted to, it would eventually buy the property.
I know bike co-ops exist in other cities, and I'm hoping to get in touch with some of those folks to hear about their experiences, things that worked and didn't. Please let me know of your experiences and of similar co-ops I can contact.

PRETORIA, South Africa -- The death of a former Rwandan spy chief in South Africa has renewed opposition claims that Rwanda's president,
Patrick Karegeya, the 53-year-old former head of Rwanda's foreign intelligence service, was found dead on New Year's Day on the bed in his room at the upscale Michelangelo Towers hotel in Johannesburg, according to South African police, who have launched a murder investigation.
"A towel with blood and a rope were found in the hotel room safe," said police spokeswoman Katlego Mogale in a statement Thursday. "There is a possibility that he might have been strangled."
The Rwanda National
"By killing its opponents, the criminal regime in Kigali seeks to intimidate and silence the Rwandan people into submission," the statement said.
Kayumba Nyamwasa, the former chief of staff of the Rwandan army, who like Karegeya was granted political asylum in South Africa, said he survived two assassination attempts while in exile.
"It is not new. It is not the first time, and it is not the last," he said of Karegeya's death, according to a report in the Guardian newspaper. "Most of President Kagame's political opposition are in exile or in prison or are dead."
The Rwandan government, as it has in the past, forcefully denied the allegations that it was behind the death. The Rwandan high commissioner in South Africa, Vincent Karega, told local broadcaster eNCA that talk of an assassination was an "emotional reaction and opportunistic way of playing politics."
Rene Mugenzi, a Rwandan human rights activist living in London, said he was frustrated by the international response to such killings – or rather the lack of it.
"This is a very sad day, but it's not new for Rwandans," said Mugenzi, adding that he was informed by British authorities in 2011 that he too could be a target. "What is very frustrating, what is making me angry, is that the international community, the
Martin Rupiya, executive director of the Pretoria-based African Public Policy and Research Institute, said he wasn't surprised.
"Both the international community and African countries continue to feel that not enough was done in support of Rwandans during the genocide," Rupiya said. "So explicit condemnation has been tempered because of that context."
Still, he said, "If the evidence proves to be correct, then a very firm stand must be taken."
Karegeya, a bespectacled man with a slight frame, reportedly fled to South Africa in 2007 after being jailed for insubordination and desertion, stripped of his rank as colonel and accused of plotting a coup with Nyamwasa.
Both men fought with Kagame in Rwanda's 1994 war, which brought a stop to the genocide by ethnic Hutu extremists that killed more than 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus.
In exile, Karegeya and Nyamwasa formed the Rwanda National Congress. The Rwandan government issued international arrest warrants for the men in 2011. A military court convicted them in absentia on charges of promoting tribal divisions and threatening state security.

Overall fantastic, intuitive, good value for money and wished I'd been put onto earlier before my airline airpoints account was hacked (probably via public wifi which I have to use a lot). Only issue was that a Netflix trailer wouldn't run. Said that I had a proxy issue. Turned off PIA and it streamed just fine. Turned it back on again. Not ideal but not a big deal either.
easy to use. easy to setup thank you pia
Private Internet Access so far has been good value and reliable access with no unexpected issues. It hasn't reduced the bandwidth significantly. I have been able to access all the sites I need without any problems. Slight minor issues installing the TAP driver. Would recommend temporarily turning off your antivirus just for the first time you run it then turning it back on.
Private Internet Access is a really anonymous VPN service, which does not take logs and offers good bandwidth. Ideal for protecting your online privacy.
Customer service is eager to help and the my internet speeds are the same as if I weren't using a VPN. Definitely one of the best VPNs I've used.
Had some difficulties getting the VPN service running and, after checking FAQs, submitted a support ticket. Very impressed with the response. Resolved the problem I had and provided some additional information to assist ongoing use of the service. I haven't used other VPN services but PIA's solution works well for me and I like the monthly payment option.
Highly recommend PIA to anyone wanting anonymity, speed and plenty of IPC addresses and countries. Works well and best value for the money out there
Great VPN Easy installation... just click ! Don't need to be expert to be protected! 5 star custumer services; I did get my answer within minutes. No speed issue; can't see any difference and SPEEDTEST is telling me I have a 5% drop. Great price !
I am new to the service. So far I have had no problems and am hoping that renewing my service will be easy once my month trial runs out.
Though the price is higher than other VPNs, it has been easy to set-up and use and effective. Speeds are high, connectivity is perfect, and I have not run into problems with torrenting yet.
Plenty of servers and great service overall.
Wonderful app!
PIA offers wonderful service and the best bang for your buck. You not only get encrypted VPN service but the price also includes proxy as well. The setup is very simple and easy to use yet has all the features you would want in a vpn like killswitch, multiple locations/countries to vpn to and even malware/ad blocking. I've had no issues with lag or bandwidth speeds which other vpn services can struggle with. PIA is a US based company and they do not keep logs on your traffic. They also offer 24/7 technical service. They give you many choices of payment from Paypal to Amazon and even gift cards. I feel very comfortable doing business with them.
This was recommended to me for my first VPN. Well-reviewed by tech sites who know what they're talking about, cheap for the service received. There were initially some problems getting the connection to stick, but changing a few settings at random fixed that (I'd also received some automated emails inviting me to contact their helpdesk if I needed to, but I can't say how good that is as I didn't need to). Overall I'd recommend it for anyone looking for a decent, simple VPN that does what it says on the tin.
Flawless connection and speed. A few minor problems with captcha and logins to various sites. Part of the game though, I guess.
I used PIA for a few months a year ago and had financial difficulties keeping me from continuing their service. Once i was able to afford them again i bought a year's worth of time right off the bat. I dont know many other VPN's that offer as much as PIA does at their price you cant beat them! They also have a very quick customer service helpdesk. There is probably only one or two other VPN services that even come close to PIA. If you are thinking about a paid VPN service PIA is easily the way to go!! Very safe, very efficient, very fast speeds!
I've been using PIA for a couple of weeks, it works great. I haven't used the desktop clients yet, but I use the Android app when I'm connected to WiFi at work or in public places. It's simple to connect to VPNs in different countries, and it shows you the upload and download speeds of your connection.
Always a great experience< prompt customer service also.
Well, the vpn service works well and reliable. Annoying is the automaticly created recurring payment, the impossibility on the website to just extend your subscription for a year or just buy a new subscription within the same account. The confusion with different email addresses used for PayPal and the subscription itself gives irritation too.
The VPNs seem to work well, although support for chrome OS could be more user friendly.

A new 12-sided one pound coin based on the threepenny bit is being unveiled - and is said to be the hardest in the world to fake.
Described as a "giant leap into the future" the new coin will replace the old one, after the Treasury announced that 3% in circulation are fake - a total of over 45 million.
The coin is based on the historic three pence piece, also known as the 'Threepenny bit', which was the first coin to feature a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
But unlike its predecessor, the new coin - which will be roughly the same size as the existing one when introduced in 2017 - will contain an array of technological advances making it difficult to forge.
As well as a 'bi-metallic' construction similar to the existing £2 coin, the new £1 will also feature new banknote-strength security pioneered at the Royal Mint's headquarters in Llantrisant, South Wales.
A Treasury spokesman said: "After 30 years loyal service, the time is right to retire the current £1 coin, and replace it with the most secure coin in the world.
"With advances in technology making high value coins like the £1 ever more vulnerable to counterfeiters, it's vital that we keep several paces ahead of the criminals to maintain the integrity of our currency.
"We are particularly pleased that the coin will take a giant leap into the future, using cutting edge British technology while at the same time, paying a fitting tribute to past in the 12-sided design of the iconic Threepenny bit".
Royal Mint chief executive Adam Lawrence hailed the "exciting project", adding: "The current £1 coin design is now more than 30 years old and it has become increasingly vulnerable to counterfeiting over time.
"It is our aim to identify and produce a pioneering new coin which helps to reduce the opportunities for counterfeiting, helping to boost public confidence in the UK's currency in the process.
"We're extremely proud that the proposal includes the Royal Mint's Integrated Secure Identification System (iSIS) technology, offering greater currency security at a lower cost."
As with all coins, the Queen's effigy will be on the "heads" side, but the Treasury has said there will be a public competition to decide the design for the 'tails' side.
A Bank of England spokesman added: "Coins are the responsibility of the Royal Mint and together with the Bank's decision to produce polymer banknotes, this change will enhance the security and integrity of the currency."
National Crime Agency counterfeiting expert John Sheridan said: "The issuing of a new coin with enhanced security features will make it more difficult for criminals to copy as well as presenting increased opportunities for law enforcement to investigate and disrupt the producers and distributors of counterfeit currency."

This message is from a Virgin Mobile user. Enjoy.
As much as i appreciate the idea of a promenade with trees, dirt, sandboxes etc, crossing through the entire island of Manhattan, i think it might be a bit of an exaggeration for the city as we know it, to do it in the present. One should think, how is this really a significant work for the development of the city and the development of more jobs.i don't think it would. What it would do is create more frustration within the city, more congestion in the city's avenues, and a lot less space for fire-trucks and the police in case of an emergency. It would also take away from another grand investment that the city had made a century and a half ago, the Central Park. Finally, it would compete with plans for green promenades that are going on as we speak, one on the east river, one on the west side, and of course the now infamous Highline. I am not so sure whether it makes sense. I am not sure it does not either. I guess i just wanted to bring it up.

Fedora Bug Life Cycle
This bug state flow came as a result of the bug triage relaunch that started in January 2008. This work flow was approved at the meeting on January 24, 2008 . As a work flow these are not hard and fast rules to impose on people. Instead it is intended to bring more uniformity and predictability to the life of a bug. If you have a good reason to break them, feel free. This is the process the triage team will follow.
Updated 17 March 2009 to reflect changes to the NEEDINFO representation.
Source: File:BugZappers BugStatusWorkFlow fedora-bug-lifecycle.odg
When a reporter files a bug, the report automatically starts out in a NEW state. The triage team will be primarily looking at bugs in this state. From this state, the triage team will change the status to:
- ASSIGNED: The bug is well defined and triaged
- CLOSED: Duplicate, not a bug, not part of Fedora, etc.
- NEW but with needinfo flag: More information needed from reporter before being ASSIGNED.
The needinfo flag is added by bug triagers or maintainers when adequate information is missing to move the bug towards resolution. If adequate information is provided, the triager will clear the flag, and set the bug to ASSIGNED. If not, needinfo bugs are eligible for closure (changed to CLOSED INSUFFICIENT_DATA) by the triage team after all of the following have been met:
- Bug was originally placed in NEEDINFO by a triager or package maintainer
- Requested information requested has not been provided
- Bug has been flagged NEEDINFO for thirty (30) continuous days.
A stock message will be used by all triagers for bugs meeting the closure criteria. Stock bug triaging messages are found at BugZappers/StockBugzillaResponses.
Because needinfo is a flag and not an exclusive state, these bugs can also simultaneously be marked as NEW, ASSIGNED, etc.
The triage team believes that this is a complete actionable bug. It contains:
- the correct component
- the correct product
- enough information for the package maintainer to investigate the issue
- enough information to research with upstream or fix the bug
- applicable release blocker or tracker bugs
The reporter has has also included one or more of the following (as applicable):
- clear steps describing how the bug occurred
- clear steps describing how to reproduce the problem
- stack trace for a crasher
- various log files
- AVC message for SELinux
See BugsAndFeatureRequests for more details.
This optional state is used to show that someone is working on fixing this bug. This is especially useful if there exists a team of maintainers for a package.
- This state is primarily used by developers working on virtualization and the kernel.
- A bug is moved to the POST state (from ASSIGNED) when a patch has been attached to the bugzilla entry and the gate keeper is waiting for the patch to receive three ACKS. Therefore, POST means "a patch is ready, but not yet applied".
- After the patch is applied to the package the bug state changes to MODIFIED.
When a maintainer has a fix for a bug checked into CVS the bug should be placed in the MODIFIED state. This is an indication that the fix is checked into CVS and has potentially been submitted to be built in a new package. Adding a link to package in koji is very helpful for adventuresome testers and the original bug reporter to verify the fix.
The use of MODIFIED for Rawhide bugs is optional; a maintainer may choose to use it to ask the reporters to test the fixed package to make sure the fix works before closing the bug, but can also go direct to CLOSED RAWHIDE on committing a fix, or change a MODIFIED bug to CLOSED RAWHIDE if no reporter appears willing or able to confirm the fix.
A bug automatically transitions to this state when an updated package is submitted to bodhi for a particular bug and the package is in the testing repo. This tells the bug reporter that a fix for the bug is available and that they should test the package. After testing the package the bug tester or original reporter should put feedback in bodhi and add a comment to the Bugzilla.
Once a bug has been fixed and included in a new package in rawhide or the updates repo it should be closed. For a stable release, the resolution ERRATA should be used. For Rawhide, the resolution RAWHIDE should be used.
The CURRENTRELEASE, DEFERRED and NEXTRELEASE resolutions are not intended for use by Fedora.
For Rawhide, maintainers can choose to move to CLOSED RAWHIDE as soon as they commit a fix to CVS, if outside a freeze period; the MODIFIED process is optional.
Bugs can be closed as DUPLICATE by a triager or maintainer at any point when they are identified as a duplicate of another bug. Bugs can be closed as INSUFFICIENT_DATA by a triager or maintainer if it seems impossible or very unlikely that the reporter will be willing or able to provide sufficient information. The resolutions CANTFIX, WONTFIX, WORKSFORME and NOTABUG are for use by maintainers only, and are self-explanatory. The resolution UPSTREAM can be used by maintainers to denote a bug that they expect to be fixed by upstream development and naturally rolled back into Fedora as part of the update process. Ideally, a comment should be added with a link to the upstream bug report.
If so designated by the maintainer, Bodhi can automatically close a bug when the package moves from the updates-testing repo to the updates repo.
The VERIFIED bug state is not used by Fedora.

I actually saw the tipsy pots set up in my local home improvement store. They were selling a kit with a plastic rod and stand for $15.
I just choose to go a different route.
Here are the supplies that I used-
Pots (I used a 14" pot for the base and (4) 8" pots for the rest)
Potting soil (I bought a 2 cubic foot bag and used just over half of it)
Flowers (or herbs...whatever your little heart desires)
1/2" piece of steel conduit (you can use rebar too) This needs to be at least 6 feet tall)
Gotta love flowers!
I think the bag of potting soil cost me about 10 bucks at WallyMart.
Now here is the deal with the pots...
Not all pots are created equal.
If you are using the 1/2" conduit then you will need pots with a drainage hole of 1".
The ones that I bought from Walmart had drainage holes that were much smaller then the ones that I bought elsewhere.
You can fix this either by using a smaller rod, like rebar OR use a grinder tool to enlarge the drainage holes.
If your drainage holes are not big enough in proportion to your metal rod, then the pots will not be able to tip enough to give you the whole "tipsy" look.
I chose the 1/2" steel conduit in a 10 foot length.
The conduit didn't even cost $2 for the entire piece.
Choose the spot for your pots (Ha! That almost rhymes).
You won't be able to move them once they are assembled.
Even up the ground so your bottom pot has a flat surface to sit on.
Take your metal rod and start pounding it into the ground.
Just be sure that there isn't any pesky pipes or natural gas lines where you are planning on putting your metal rod. Just sayin...
If you have purchased the same size pots as I did then you will need 44" left above ground on which to assemble your pots.
If you are using the conduit then it may squish down on the top when you are hammering it down into the ground.
See the little squishy part of the conduit?
We had to take a hacksaw and cut it off.
Otherwise it wouldn't have fit through the drainage holes on the pots.
Here is my conduit, hammered way down into the ground.
We have cut off the little squished down part on the top.
From the ground to the top of my rod measures 44".
Thread the rod through the bottom of your biggest pot and place it on the ground.
Fill it most of the way up with potting soil.
Be sure and put enough soil so that when you put the next pot in, it doesn't sink way down in the big pot.
Take one of your smaller pots and thread it through the metal rod.
Tip it to the side and set it down on top of the potting soil that you just placed in the big pot.
As you can see in the picture, this smaller pot will not be resting on the side of the bottom pot. The metal rod will prevent it from tipping that far.
That is totally okie dookie.
Place potting soil in the pot, leaving room for your plants.
Take your next pot and thread it through the metal rod.
The bottom of this pot will sit on the edge of the pot just underneath it.
Put potting soil in that pot too.
Then repeat the last step with your next pot.
Your tipsy pots should now look like this.
See how the top of the rod is just the right height?
Plant your flowers...
And enjoy!
Use your imagination!
You can use other items besides pots...
Other plants besides flowers...
Ahhhh...the possibilities!
Linking to these great parties.

We wear suits. We strive to be "politically correct". We stop at red lights and go when they turn green. We work 40 hour work weeks. We have systems for everything. A legal system, an education system, a healthcare system, and so on. We shake hands when we meet, we say things like "nice to meet you" or "have a nice day". We groom ourselves, wear clothes that are acceptable, we teach our children mainline ideas and views so they'll be accepted by the rest of society. I'm not pointing these things out specifically to demonize one aspect in particular, but rather to make a contrast. It seems we have most of the surface level things down (even though much of this conditioning is abstract and like everything else in the universe…is subjective). (more…)

Suppression Of Female Energy In This WorldPosted: October 5, 2012 in gets you thinking doesn't it, human spirit, inspiration, life, life experiences, love through experience, mind power, sex and relationships, Stuff
Tags: 2012, end times, female energy, feminism, illuminati, love, mayan calandar, new world order
I know it's been a while since I've posted anything here on my personal blog, and for that I make no excuses. Lately I've felt that I'm being pulled towards an objective greater than my own life can substantiate. Every glance at the news, every conversation, every comment, I seem to be sensitive to underlying issues as to the "why". Why do we as a species act like we do? Why go to war? Why prey on our fellow human beings? When you take a step back you see all this false bravado and angst for what it really is . . . FEAR. Or better yet FEAR OF SELF? So then I dig deeper.
I start to notice parallels and symbolic representations in everything and the dots connect. I research history and the cycles of life before I was around and I see even more parallels. Yesterday's young from one side of an ocean was sent over to kill yesterday's young from the other side. And what did they have in common? They all came from a woman.
Now in this post I'm not going to go into all the duality based themes that reoccur throughout the universe but for the sake of making my point I'll name a few. Light/dark, inhalation/exhalation, positive/negative, good/evil (perceived evil), man/woman . . . and the one duality which connects all . . . order/chaos. Now language limits the interpretation of ideas, feelings, and beliefs so I'll try to explain as eloquently as possible. Hopefully I'll be able to convey my understanding in such a way that you can grasp it beyond reading these words, because this simple understanding is what's going to either end us as a species or make us realize the error we've made so we may correct it.
Man, male energy, the creative force, the thrust of intent if you will, ORDER . . . these are all one. They connect, they are of the same essence. Left brain, facts and figures, filters, charged with organizing the great "out there". Many call this the "rational mind". Being able to make decisions to create predictable outcomes. These characteristics are what make men what they are in this society. Being able to organize chaos. "We don't know what's going to happen tomorrow but with Johnny on the job we know he'll come through and make the outcome predictable"
Ambition, if you break down the meaning to it's basic components, is a term for making the unknown . . . known. Then we have woman. Female energy, infinite possibility of life regeneration. Women give life, bear our young, are receptive, nurturing, emotional, more intuitive than man with his rational thinking left brain-ran mind. Female energy is the force of CHAOS. Now before you women get upset let me make you aware that regardless of your conditioning by society, chaos is NECESSARY and a good thing. Chaos represents the great unknown, the world of our wild feelings and emotions. Our IRRATIONAL mind, our right brain, our creative faculties.
Chaos is part of the Infinite All. Chaos is not to be understood in the traditional sense for I believe everything is synced to happen as it should. Here's a strong metaphor, would you want to wake up every morning for the rest of your life knowing EXACTLY what was going to happen that day? Sure it sounds appealing at first but this would define what most of us think of as "hell" when you really break it down. If life is to be an adventure and the human race are meant to be wanderers as I believe we are then who are we to NOT embrace chaos.
Now going deeper into my point. We see wars, men pointing rockets and bombs at each other threatening to destroy one another and for what? For security, for predictability, to know that we won't be attacked and killed by our fellow man. It somehow helps the elitists deal with their fear of being obliterated. Which is a losing battle because simply put . . . WE ALL DIE ONE DAY. So what is security? What is rational thinking? What is focusing energy on desired outcomes with extreme attachment if we only get a few years to experience life anyways? We all know the mantra of the secret cabal who runs everything, "order out of chaos". Ever wonder why all missiles are shaped like dicks? Ever wonder why there's so much rhetoric between nations' male leaders before they send their young to die? FEAR . . . fear of the unknown . . . fear of CHAOS.
What we have here are a bunch of insecure, fearful, representatives of male energy obsessed with control and power. Quests for power are rooted in fear of the unknown, fear of undesired outcomes, fear of other possibilities, fear of CHAOS . . . which is as stated before, female energy embodied. Back in the days when indigenous peoples were in communities and close to nature they had systems of matriarchy. The elders were women. And who is better to make a decision to have her young go fight and die for a cause than the woman who bore them?
Women called the shots back then because communities who were close to nature had an understanding that the female energy (chaos) is the giver of life. Look at the way we treat women in this world culture to culture. Islam suppresses women to the point of having to cover up and oftentimes go through procedures to cut off their parts that would make sex pleasurable to a woman. Look at China where it's looked at as disgraceful to have a daughter. Look at how women are treated in the western world, objectified, and made to believe they are to be nothing but pieces of ass to be won by the most ambitious and power seeking of men.
And women who have been socially engineered into thinking this is so cosign this tragic story go right along with it. Look at what man is doing to the earth, which I believe is female in it's characteristics being that it gives and sustains life just as a woman does. The earth has storms (mood swings), earthquakes, and other natural disasters which suggests it's own unpredictability and chaos. But it still gives and sustains life. And man in his over-ambitious ways drills into her, rapes her, cuts down her rainforests, and concocts toxic chemicals from her elements to kill one another. This goes everything that is the female energy, the giver of life. I've always believe that a man treats life how he treats women, and life acts accordingly.
Those who don't appreciate women, chaos, the unknown, to me are closer to the grave than they know. Lenin is a prime example of the over-dominance of male energy. He wrote poetry as a man obsessed with order of out chaos that instead of not knowing the outcome of the earth and the human species he suggested that mankind should blow themselves and the world up as a testament to his power. WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF LOGIC IS THAT? That is the summed up version of what man has become, order out of chaos. Ladies and gentlemen LIFE itself is a dance of order and chaos. But we must keep in mind that the female energy is nurturing so no matter the unpredictability it behaves a mother. Always looking after us even though we don't know what may happen.
The next stage in the evolution of man I believe will be to embrace chaos and the unknown . Man's job is to create and move forward with intent but never to suppress chaos in order to conquer his own fears of it. This equates to a bully starting a fight knowing he will win. The next evolution of man will be the man who shows up for a fight not knowing if he will win or lose. And with society imploding as it is we know that the male species will be faced with this confrontation. The confrontation of his own dance with chaos.
I'll be posting more on this because even as long as this post turned out to be I feel there are those of you who don't fully grasp the truths I'm trying to state and that I haven't even started to scratch the surface of this profound duality and symbolism. And as a representative of the new evolution of the male species I just want to apologize to all women. I'm sorry for the suppression. I'm sorry that men still are insecure and scared to the point of sending your young to die. I'm sorry you've been made to feel second place and you're really FIRST. I'm sorry men are so scared of chaos they do the heinous things they do to each other and to you on a grand scale. I'm not one of them. I'm not afraid of the unknown. I'm not afraid of the dance . . . with chaos. More to come.

People In 49 States Saw Significant Decline In Health Care Access During Last Decade
During the previous decade, millions of Americans, regardless of whether they have insurance or not, found it increasingly more difficult to find — or afford — seeing the doctor or dentist, according to a new study from the folks at the Urban Institute.
The study looked at changes in three areas between 2000 and 2010: People who has unmet medical needs because of financial reasons; people who had gone to the dentist; and people who had made a routine checkup with their doctor.
Only one state, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia did not see a significant negative change in any of the three areas. However, that result isn't necessarily reason for West Virginia to celebrate, as that state already had the highest rate (20.9%) of people whose medical needs went unmet for financial reasons in 2000.
A handful of states, including Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Virginia, each only saw significant negative changes in one category, while all remaining states had at least two. Those states in dark blue on the above map experienced negative changes in all three categories.
Overall, the number of people in America with unmet needs for financial reasons went up by 6% to 18.7% of the total adult population between the ages of 19-64. Meanwhile, 5.1% fewer people in this age group were getting routine check-ups and 3.9% fewer had seen the dentist for any reason.
One of the more startling results of the study is the number of people with private insurance who still mentioned being unable to see a doctor or get their health care needs met due to financial reasons. According to the study, that number doubled from 5% to 10% in the last decade. Meanwhile, the number of privately insured individuals who delayed seeing the doctor jumped from 4% to 7%.

Italy's Nicolai and Lupo grab first FIVB World Tour title
Fuzhou, China, April 26, 2014 - Italy's Paolo Nicolai and Daniele Lupo claimed their first ever FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour event title when they beat Olympic silver medalist Alison Cerutti and new partner Bruno Oscar Schmidt of Brazil 2-1 (21-17, 16-21, 15-13) in the final of the Fuzhou Open in China on Saturday.
Nicolai and Lupo, whose previous best World Tour result was the runner-up at the Beijing Grand Slam in 2012 and the Fuzhou Open in 2013, secured the gold after surviving an evenly balanced encounter against Alison and Bruno in rainy conditions.
The first set was a see-saw affair until 13-13. The Italian tandem nosed ahead following a string of excellent spikes and then took the initative on their first set point.
It was a similar situation at the start of the second set but Alison and Bruno took control after 5-5 before drawing level 1-1 in sets.
Brazil jumped to a 3-1 lead in the deciding set before Nicolai and Lupo reeled off five points to go ahead 6-3. After the scores were tied at 8-8, the Italians managed to regain a tiny lead and kept it throughout.
"(We won) One silver and one gold here, Fuzhou is really a lucky place for us," Nicolai said after the final. "For sure, next year we will come back."
Nicolai and Lupo will move to Shanghai next week for the first Grand Slam event on this season's FIVB World Tour.
"We are out to win every match, but I know it will be very difficult," said Nicolai, who was named the FIVB Most Improved Player in 2012.
"We are very focused on the Shanghai Grand Slam. No doubt today's victory is a huge boost to our confidence. I hope we can continue our good play," said Lupo.
In the morning, Nicolai and Lupo made light work of the semifinal against Jon Stiekema and Christiaan Varenhorst from the Netherlands, winning 2-0 (21-19, 21-15) in just 35 minutes.
Alison and Bruno's semifinal was against Latvia's Aleksandrs Smoilovs and Janis Smedins. After dropping the first set by a large margin, the Brazilian new pair upped their game in the second set and fought hard to book their spot in the final 2-1 (13-21, 23-21, 15-7).
"They (Smoilovs/Smedins) won the World Tour title last year, and they deserve all the credit for that. We knew the match gonna be very hard, so we're pretty happy for the victory," said Bruno.
Alison, who claimed silver at the London Olympics in 2012 with Emanuel Rego, and Bruno are the playing their first tournament together.
The bronze medal went to 12th seeds Stiekema and Varenhorst, who came from one set behind to defeat Smoilovs and Smedins 2-1 (17-21, 26-24, 16-14). It was Stiekema and Varenhorst's first podium finish in the FIVB World Tour series.
"We worked so hard and won the bronze, the first medal on the World Tour, so we'are really happy," said Stiekema.
The last day of the Fuzhou Open will decide the Women's Main Draw medallists on Sunday.
Fuzhou, capital of the Fujian province lies on the southeast coast of Chinese mainland and hosts the Open event for the second straight year.
In addition to the Fuzhou Open, two other stops are scheduled in China in 2014 on the FIVB international schedule: the FIVB Shanghai Grand Slam (April 29 to May 4) and the FIVB Xiamen Open (October 7 to 12). All three are double-gender events.

Marble Mountain Wilderness
IntroductionThe United States Congress designated the Marble Mountain Wilderness (map) in 1964 and it now has a total of 225,114 acres. All of this wilderness is located in California and is managed by the Forest Service.
DescriptionCraggy peaks, abundant meadows, large streams, and a whopping 89 lakes highlight this wild and pleasant area. Adding to the visual interest are many fascinating geological features, including Marble Mountain itself, a stark, red-and-gray marbled peak. Most of the lakes are gems set in rocky settings, and at least one-third of the Wilderness is cloaked in a great variety of trees, dominated by tanbark oak, madrone, and Douglas fir lower down, and whitebark pine, foxtail pine, and mountain hemlock higher up. You will find alpine meadows and bare rock in the highest elevations. Bear, deer, and many other species of wildlife are plentiful. Most of the peaks exceed 6,000 feet in height, with Boulder Peak being the highest at 8299 feet. Long recognized for its wild value, this region became a Primitive area in 1931, a Wilderness in 1953, and a part of the NWPS in 1964. Numerous trails provide excellent and extensive access to the Wilderness, and human use is rated as moderate. The Pacific Crest Trail crosses the entire Wilderness for 32 miles north-south, and accesses many other trails. Most of the trails offer relatively easy travel for humans and horses, and excellent campsites are to be had along the way.

Snails and socks
I met another such fellow/lady last night as I was dividing a clump of Echinacea donated to my cause from my mom's back garden. I set him/her down in one of the mint patches for safe keeping. He/she can eat all the mint he/she likes, if he/she so chooses.
Plant-acquisition around here has been at an all-time high as we're finally working on landscaping the front garden. I've spent the past few days coated in a fine grime comprised mainly of dirt, sweat, sunscreen and bug spray (the latter two help the dirt stick better,) but the result is totally worth it.
Needless to say, all this gardening has cut into my knitting time. Still, I am dangerously close to finishing the (tentatively-titled) Balearique Gentlemen's Socks (which can be converted to Ladies' socks by going down a needle size. Or not, as you prefer.)When that occurs (oh, happy day!) they will depart to go live with their recipient, just in time for the summer months (my timing is impeccable.)
The pattern will be ready sooner than you think, should you be interested in acquiring a copy. I think I may actually have a wee contest with pattern giveaways to celebrate the release of this one. I'll keep you posted.
In other news, anticipation is high in these parts for the First Fall + Holiday Headstart 2010 issue of Knitty, (even more so than usual,) mainly because I have a pattern in it. You're going to want to check that one out. Don't forget!
