The Future of Food
There is a revolution happening in the farm fields and on the dinner
tables of America - a revolution that is transforming the very nature
of the food we eat.
The Future of Food offers an in-depth investigation into the disturbing
truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly
filled U.S. grocery store shelves for the past decade.
From the prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada to the fields of Oaxaca, Mexico, this film
gives a voice to farmers whose lives and livelihoods have been negatively impacted by
this new technology. The health implications, government policies and push towards
globalization are all part of the reason why many people are alarmed by the introduction
of genetically altered crops into our food supply.
Shot on location in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, THE FUTURE OF FOOD examines the
complex web of market and political forces that are changing what we eat as huge
multinational corporations seek to control the world's food system. The film also
explores alternatives to large-scale industrial agriculture, placing organic and
sustainable agriculture as real solutions to the farm crisis today.
"This stylish film is not just for food faddists and nutritionists. It is a look
at something we might not want to see: Monsanto, Roundup and Roundup-resistant
seeds, collectively wreaking havoc on American farmers and our agricultural
neighbors around the world. In the end, this documentary is a eloquent call
to action." --The Telluride Daily Planet
"If you eat food, you need to see The Future of Food..." -Newstarget.com
"As we move on into this so-called biotech revolution and we start producing more
and more transgenic manipulations, we'll start seeing pieces of DNA interacting
with each other in ways that are totally unpredictable... I think this is probably
the largest biological experiment humanity has ever entered into."
--Ignacio Chapela
"If this video doesn't scare you out of your comfort zone, nothing will"

E. Michigan 48, Army 38
Army brought the nation's best rushing game to Eastern Michigan on Saturday but Tyler Benz and the Eagles topped it with variety.
Benz, in just his fourth start, threw a career-high five touchdown passes and Eastern Michigan won its first game of the season, beating the Black Knights 48-38.
The redshirt sophomore had four scoring passes this season before Saturday and matched that total before intermission. He finished with a career-high 369 yards on 19-for-31 passing.
''Coming in we knew we would get to throw the ball a decent amount,'' said Benz, who found several open receivers against a defense seemingly intent on stopping the Eagles' ground game.
''If we got good opportunities we felt our receivers and tight ends could outrun them.''
Hill, a week removed from a 283-yard effort against Toledo, rushed for 185 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries as the Eagles rolled up nearly 600 yards of offense.
Eastern Michigan (1-6) got its first touchdown on the game's third play when Benz found a wide-open Javonti Greene for a 39-yard strike. Army muffed a punt snap on the ensuing drive and Benz threw his second touchdown to Garrett Hoskins five plays later.
Benz added scoring passes to Hill and Christian Menet in the second quarter to give Eastern Michigan a 28-17 halftime lead. He connected with Ryan Brumfield early in the fourth quarter. Hill put the game out of reach when he scored the Eagles' lone rushing touchdown three minutes into the final period.
Hoskins, one of seven Eastern Michigan players to catch a pass, had seven receptions for a career-high 158 yards.
''It always feels good to get the ball,'' the tight end said. ''Against that defense they run, we were able to get a lot of guys in one-on-one coverage.''
Dylan Mulder added a pair of field goals to help the Eagles stop an eight-game skid. Their last win was Nov. 12 against Buffalo.
Poor tackling on both sides aided long plays but it most hurt Army, which never got closer than four points after surrendering the two early touchdowns.
''At every turn we're finding something to frustrate us,'' coach Rich Ellerson said. ''If it was just the offense, defense or special teams, I could understand, but it's all those things.''
Army (1-6) got a pair of long touchdown runs from quarterback Trent Steelman, including a 75-yard dash late in the third quarter.
His career-high 212-yard day on 16 carries made him the first Black Knights player to rush for 200 yards since 2008 and the first quarterback to do so since Tory Crawford in 1986.
Malcolm Brown and Trenton Turrentine added touchdown runs and Anthony Stevens caught a scoring pass from A.J. Schurr in the closing minutes of the game. Army rushed for 412 yards, 27 more than its FBS-leading average.
The loss was the Black Knights' second straight and their first in five meetings with Eastern Michigan.

The delusional hypocrisy at the Times knows no bounds! This is the same newspaper that publishes real estate pieces about how it's normal to earn 300K+ and pushes the lifestyles such people lead. Then on the complete opposite end of the spectrum as you posted, they are now bizarrely railing against skyscrapers only the ultra rich can afford.
I don't understand the Times's problem on this. I will never be able to afford an apartment in these supertalls but do I want them built? HELL YES. The taller the better and the more the better. That's what NYC is all about - progress. Property taxes are huge on these places, we all benefit

In Germany, an American Jewish hockey player chooses the future: "A hockey jersey hung in each player's locker. It bore Germany's national colors, black trimmed in red and gold. The front was emblazoned with an eagle above the word Deutschland. This would be Evan Kaufmann's first time wearing the jersey. He removed it from the hanger and turned it around to see his family name spelled in capital letters. He would recall feeling a tingle of excitement. He felt something else, too, emotions that crisscrossed like the laces of his skates. He was proud to wear the jersey but also solemn about what history had done to the name on the back. His great-grandfather starved to death by the Nazis. His great-grandmother herded to extermination on a train to Auschwitz. His grandfather shuttled between ghettos and concentration camps, surviving somehow, finding a displaced sister after the war, pushing her from a hospital in a wheelbarrow after her lower left leg was amputated because of frostbite. On Feb. 10, Kaufmann finished dressing and skated onto the ice at a tournament in Belarus. With his initial shift, he became one of the few Jews to represent Germany in elite international sports since World War II, the first in ice hockey since the 1930s and perhaps the most visible to have had family members murdered in the Holocaust, according to sports historians and Jewish officials."

Jeremy Lin beat Michael Jordan, wearin' the 4-5 (in MSG ratings): "Jeremy Lin's drawing power—even in losses —is helping the MSG Network set ratings records. The loss to the New Orleans Hornets last Friday generated a 7.32 rating (which equals 540,788 local households). Then, Monday night's game against the Nets led to an even higher rating, 7.34. Those are the highest regular-season ratings for Knicks games since the 1988-89 season, when MSG began measuring its audience. Friday's game peaked at a 10.02 rating (740,259 households) between 10:15 and 10:30 p.m., while Monday's broadcast had its highest rating of a 9.02 from 9:45 to 10:45 p.m. Both games exceeded the previous Knicks regular-season record of a 6.78 rating, for the 1995 game when Michael Jordan scored 55 points in his first game back at Madison Square Garden after he came out of retirement." [New York Times]
Linsanity takes its talents to South Beach: "How much are you willing to pay to see Jeremy Lin and the New York Knicks take on the league's hottest team in Miami? Apparently, a lot. It's the hottest ticket on the planet right now. A long-time Heat official told me last night that the Knicks-Heat game on Thursday is the most requested game for tickets he can remember. More than last season's Finals." [ESPN]
Your Teddy Roosevelt on a Segway Interlude:
ESPNW's Amanda Rykoff, "mascot stalker," audtitioned to be one of the Nats' Racing Presidents: "I confess: I am somewhat obsessed with mascots. From T.C. Bear in Minnesota to Lou Seal in San Francisco, meeting team mascots on road trips has become as much a part of my ballpark experience as hot dogs and beer. I watch mascots during pregame introductions and festivities and always seek them out for photos. It has become a tradition I affectionately refer to as 'mascot stalking.' When I made my first visit to Nationals Park in 2011, I made sure I was in my seat in the middle of the fourth inning. I didn't want to miss the team's famous Racing Presidents — George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt — as they sprinted from center field, along the warning track, and down the first-base line to the finish line near the dugout.And on Saturday of Presidents' Day weekend (naturally), the Nationals hosted their sixth year of auditions for presidential hopefuls. When a friend familiar with my mascot obsession forwarded me the press release, I knew I had to be there. The opportunity to actually wear one of those hallowed six-foot-high heads and show off my craziest dance moves seemed too good to pass up. After a few emails and phone calls, the team extended an invitation for an audition, and potential humiliation. Yes, I was running for president." [ESPNW]
Roberto Hernandez is seeking a pardon for pretending to be "Fausto Carmona": "The pitcher Roberto Hernandez, formerly known as Fausto Carmona, told The Associated Press he hopes to obtain a judicial pardon and return to the Cleveland Indians this season. Hernandez was placed on baseball's restricted list after he was arrested in the Dominican Republic on false identity charges last month. Authorities have said he is 31, three years older than the pitcher claimed. 'I'm doing all that is necessary so that when the pardon is granted, I won't have to wait long to play again,' he said Wednesday. Hernandez also said he keeps in touch with Indians manager Manny Acta. 'He has provided support,' he said. 'We don't talk a lot about the issue, but he is keeping an eye on me.' Hernandez's agent, Jorge Brito, said he is confident Hernandez will soon rejoin the team. 'We are working to resolve this situation, and we believe that Roberto will be able to pitch in the major leagues this year,' Brito said. Hernandez said he is meeting with young baseball players to warn them about the problems of using a false identity." [Detroit News]

When a pandemic breaks out, disease circles the globe, often leaping from species to species. Now scientists think they can forecast where deadly viruses will strike next, using a new tool that predicts genetic mutation.
Supramap doesn't just track the spread of viruses - it tracks how the viruses are mutating as they jump into new hosts and encounter new medicines. Using Supramap, scientists might be able to stay ahead of the virus mutation curve and figure out when to switch medicines as the microbes adapt and develop resistance.
The American Museum of Natural History" reports on Supramap:
"This tool has a lot of predictive power," says Ward Wheeler, curator in the Division of Invertebrate Zoology at the Museum. "If the movement of a pathogen is related to bird flyways, for example, and those routes are shifting because of something like climate change, we can predict where the disease might logically emerge next."
Operating on parallel programming on high-performance computing systems at Ohio State University and the Ohio Supercomputer Center, Supramap allows any user to input raw genetic sequences of a pathogen's strains and build an evolutionary tree based on mutations. The branches are projected onto the globe with pop-up windows to show how strains mutate over space and time and infect new hosts.
During an earlier phase in Supramap's development, one of the researchers working on it explained how it works:
This week, a paper about Supramap was published in Cladistics. The ability to predict how a virus will mutate over time could be the first step in coming up with a method to stop pandemics in their tracks - or at least, to mitigate the harm they cause by distributing medicines as effectively as possible.
Learn more about Supramap here, and start using it!

The Jeffersonian Grounds Initiative
Restoring the Jeffersonian Grounds
The Academical Village at the University of Virginia is one of the most iconic architectural sites in America, but time, constant use and the elements have left the Grounds in need of a full renovation and repair. The University plans to restore the Grounds and ensure that the Jeffersonian Grounds remains true to the University's original, central purpose to engage, connect, and inspire students and faculty, learners and scholars.
The priorities for the Jeffersonian Grounds Initiative include:
Renovating the Rotunda - Visit the Rotunda page to learn more about the renovation.
Renovating the Pavilions - The Pavilions house University faculty who live side by side with our Lawn students, preserving Jefferson's original intention to create an "Academical Village". Read about the Pavilion X renovation.
Conserving our Historic Gardens and Landscapes - The historic Pavilion gardens, Lawn, alleys and associated landscapes of the Jeffersonian Grounds serve as parks and contemplative space for all U.Va. students, faculty and staff as well as to visitors the Grounds.
Restoring the Lawn and Range - One distinction of the University of Virginia remains the Jeffersonian community of students on the Lawn and Range. Daily life is hard on 200 year old buildings. Read about current work on the West Range roofs.
Restoring the Hotels - The Hotels of the Range once housed merchants who served the early University communities and served as their dining halls. Today they house important U.Va. student services, classrooms and even residents. Check the Hotel A Historic Structure Report.
Repairing the Colonnades - Years of accumulated paint have trapped moisture and threaten the integrity of the supporting columns, which still house original Jeffersonian brick. The West Colonnade from Pavilion IX to V is next to be restored.
Building the Endowment - Changes in funding and priorities over time have led to a backlog of repairs to our most treasured buildings. By building our endowment, we protect our current investment and ensure that we can steward these historic structures in the future. Learn more.
Other important priorities for the Jeffersonian Grounds include conducting archaeological studies, conserving architectural artifacts, and increasing students' daily use of the Rotunda.

Bank of America is setting its sights on China. After adding both staff and profit in its initial efforts there, it sees more opportunity in the huge Chinese economy than it does in other areas, where it is slashing staff and shuttering branches.
Bloomberg reported Thursday that Bank of America is not the only one. JPMorgan Chase & Co., HSBC, and Citigroup are among the institutions boosting their presence in China, which has become the third largest banking market in the world.
Citigroup has recently won approval from Beijing to become the second foreign bank permitted to issue its credit cards there. HSBC intends to expand its branch network nearly eight times to 800, or else to take a bigger stake in its partner Bank of Communications Co. as soon as loosened regulations allow it to do so. And profit racked up by foreign banks in China over the past 10 years, according to the China Banking Regulatory Commission, has amounted to a significant average of 26%.
Bank of America has booked considerably more than 26%. Its profit doubled in 2011, and it has recruited bankers from its competition to further build on existing business–a strong contrast with the 30,000 job cuts it plans elsewhere in the world. According to Huang Xiaoguang, president of Bank of America NA China, the bank plans to add additional branches as well as possibly entering into a securities venture with a local partner.
"We want to become a top player among China's foreign wholesale banks in terms of all metrics," Huang was quoted saying. "We need to grow faster than our competitors to grab market share and stay ahead of them. What we achieved last year was significant, but we want to take it up a notch."
In fact, according to Huang, the country could become the bank's biggest factor in revenue and profits in the Asia Pacific region within two years. He did not specify where the country currently ranks in those areas.

Hurricane Sandy became a monster storm long feared on the East Coast, crippling transportation, destroying some communities and killing an estimated 100 people. It also became the biggest national news story of the week, bringing up serious issues regarding the climate, politics and preparedness and response. What do you think?
This year's election has been a dizzying assault on the intelligence of the voting public. One of the many fantastic things we have been asked to believe is that fossil fuels are the engine of future prosperity and national security. The candidates are falling over themselves to advocate for more drilling, more mining and more hydraulic fracturing. We are supposed to rally around resource extraction anywhere and everywhere in the name of jobs, jobs, and jobs.
The devastation of Hurricane Sandy might just create those jobs. Rebuilding homes, businesses, transportation systems, water and power utilities and more, will take a massive effort. Jobs designing and building new infrastructure to protect our coastal cities from future weather events may also be created. Is this what the fossil fuel enthusiasts had in mind?
During this campaign season our country experienced massive droughts, two hurricanes and raging fires that burned thousands of acres of forests and hundreds of homes. The environment and climate change never became part of the campaign rhetoric.
Of course, no one can say that Hurricane Sandy is a direct result of global warming. Doesn't that sound like the cigarette industry's assertions that there is no causal relationship between smoking and lung cancer? Maybe all the severe weather events in the last several years are just a coincidence. If you believe that, there is some nice oceanfront property in New Jersey I'd like to sell you.
Judy Amabile
Mother Nature's perfect storm collided with Human Nature's imperfect fallibility. Still, there's hope for Homo sapiens. By using our evolving brains, we can take steps to lesson the impact of future storms.
First, let's examine the causes of Sandy's strength, three of which are related to global warming: a warmer Gulf Stream, diminishing Arctic ice, rising sea levels, and a colluding high tide. According to Tim Spangler, local meteorologist extraordinaire, the Gulf Stream's warmer than normal temperatures allowed Sandy to gather more energy and moisture from a farther north position than usually occurs this time of year. Moreover, the lack of Arctic ice may have strengthened the high over the North Atlantic, preventing Sandy from swinging easterly and dissipating farther out in the Atlantic. Sandy's more westerly position allowed her to cozy up to hulking, western, cold fronts, producing high winds and heavy precipitation. Add these factors to a 100-year rise in sea levels and the coincidence of high tide, and we realize that Sandy behaved just as scientists predicted.
We can't blame Sandy's destruction on bad luck. Instead, blame falls on our tendencies to believe "it can't happen to me," to build in fun places rather than safer locations, to ignore warnings from party-pooper authorities, and to prioritize taxes for vote-getting, glamorous projects rather than boring infrastructure. Until we take preventative action, Mother Nature will continue to slam us. Just remember it's not all her fault.
Cinda Kochen
On a larger scale, Hurricane Sandy reminded me of the Colorado blizzard of 2003, which dumped up to seven feet of heavy snow throughout the Rocky Mountains. In Boulder, the storm buried cars, cut electricity for a day, shut down businesses and schools, and left people stranded–short-term prisoners in their own homes. Some roofs collapsed and property damage totaled in the millions. But once the flakes stopped falling, the city went to work plowing streets and restoring power, and Boulderites were soon able to resume their normal lives.
The Northeast communities hit by Sandy, however, will take much longer to recover. Repairs are already estimated at $20 billion, power will not return for weeks in some parts, businesses will forfeit significant revenues, and residents will spend months putting their lives back together. Tragically, the death toll has climbed to over 80–lost lives that can't be replaced. Even though readiness and response time are being touted and the destruction could have been much worse, Sandy's havoc is depressing and long lasting, no matter how optimistically you frame it.
To be candid, I've been a skeptic of global warming. Lately, though, I've been questioning if the preponderance of 100-year catastrophes in the past decade is merely a blip in the weather patterns of the past 5,000 years — or symptomatic of true climate change. After witnessing one weather-related disaster after another, I'm increasingly persuaded that ominous environmental transformation is afoot.
Jimmy Calano
Did god create FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency? You might think so, given flack Mitt Romney has received for suggesting that state governments and private organizations are better suited for disaster relief than a federal agency. But FEMA's creation is secular: executive orders by Jimmy Carter in 1978.
Unfortunately, Romney has since retreated from his position. He could have reminded voters of the president's actual constitutional responsibilities. As Gene Healy summarizes in "The Cult of the Presidency," they are to "execute the laws, defend the Constitution, protect the country from foreign attack and domestic insurrection–and little else." Instead, Romney's capitulation reinforces the common infantile view that the president is, in Healy's words, a "father-protector and national nursemaid."
Hence it's no surprise that presidents use FEMA for political advantage. "States politically important to the president in his reelection bid have a significantly higher rate of disaster declaration," explains a Cato Institute policy analysis, "Flirting with Disaster: The Inherent Problems with FEMA."
Romney should have cited hurricane Katrina. As the Washington Post reported, "While state and federal officials have come under harsh criticism for their handling of the storm's aftermath, Wal-Mart is being held up as a model for logistical efficiency and nimble disaster planning, which have allowed it to quickly deliver staples such as water, fuel and toilet paper to thousands of evacuees."
Alas, despite a government program's waste and ineffectiveness, many voters soon consider it indispensable.
Brian T. Schwartz
Tuesday's Daily Camera cartoon, in which "Frankenstorm" welcomed the candidates to "our presidential debate on science and global warming," nailed the haunting lack of any mention of climate change during the three other debates. New York's Governor Cuomo noted with irony that the new normal includes 100-year storms every two years. Nobody's laughing.
The vast majority of America's major cities lie on our coastline, but even Chicago had surfers on Lake Michigan enjoying 25-foot waves. Who cares whether the climate is changing due to human activity? The only question that matters is what humans can do to slow it down or quickly adapt.
The precautionary principle warns that we should do both. Profligate squandering of liquid carbon fuels and thoughtless burning of polluting coal presents much more risk of harm to our children and our children's children than annual budget deficits and government debt. A recovering economy will address budgetary selfishness, but there is no Plan B for our planet.
Yes, we should harden our coastline cities to protect human settlements there — that harm is already upon us. $5B for tidal flood gates are a bargain when compared to the estimated $60 billion in damages inflicted by Hurricane Sandy. Infrastructural investments are a wise use of public funds and they create good jobs. Boulder's CAP tax (2B) is an excellent example of taxes well spent. Making our homes and businesses more energy efficient is a no-brainer. Let's git 'er done!

text: The Ultimate Guide to a Fun Summer Birthday Party 0 comment(s) Summertime is undoubtedly the most fun and exciting time to be a child. Summertime is free of school obligations, it brings warm weather and long hours of sunshine, and it gives us all a chance to relax and spend time together as a family.And any child born in the summer months may tell you that this is the best season to invite friends together for a birthday celebration. So if your little one has a summer birthday coming up, and you want to throw them a bash they will love, follow these few tips to have an unforgettable summer celebration.Throw a Summer Birthday Party OutsideThe summer months provide you with the perfect setting for an outdoor kids birthday party – so why not use that to your advantage? Consider throwing your kid's birthday party at a local park, a carnival, a miniature golf course, or any other area that has outdoor attractions for kids. Being outside and in nature will certainly help the little ones enjoy the celebration.Try Out a ThemeSome of the best birthday parties for kids are those that have a theme behind the entire event. This summer then, for your kid's birthday party, pick a theme that centers around something that they love. If you pick a baseball theme, you can head to a local park and play catch, or even go to the batting cages. Or, if you pick an animal theme, you can go to the zoo to look at the animals, and send home each kid with a stuffed animal party favor. A theme for a birthday party for kids can help you plan the itinerary.Early Morning or Late AfternoonAlthough the weather during the summer months may allow you to be outside without worrying about chilly temperatures, it is also important that you make sure to keep the kids safe during the hottest periods throughout the day. If you do decide to throw an outdoor birthday party, make sure to host it during the early morning, or instead at the late afternoon or evening, providing the children relief from scorching temperatures and the unrelenting rays of the sun.Cook Food OutdoorsTry to again take advantage of the beautiful outdoor weather by cooking outdoors with the children. Local parks often provide grill pits that you can use, or you can even fire up the grill in your own backyard. Bring some hamburgers, hot dogs, or any other grillable foods (with all of the fixings, of course), and spend time making food for the little ones while they run around together.Make Sure There is Enough SupervisionAbove all, to ensure the kids stay safe this year at an outdoor kids party, make sure there is plenty of supervision from you and other parents. Because there is a greater chance of children wandering off outdoors, have enough parents onsite that can monitor the kids at all times.Throw a Birthday Bash This SummerIf your child has a birthday coming up this summer, there is no better time than now to start planning. If you want to throw an excellent kids party, make sure to follow these few guidelines to throw the bash of the year!

(AMERICAN THINKER) — Proclaiming himself a conciliator and a moderate with a vision of Americans "stand[ing] with each other" and "paying their fair share," President Barack Obama is in fact one of the most partisan presidents ever to occupy the White House. Fine-sounding words notwithstanding, he is a leftist ideologue and no-holds-barred political fighter whose practice has consistently been to demonize the American equivalents of the hated kulaks (farmers) and petit-bourgeoisie (small business owners) persecuted in the Soviet Union. Obama's enemies include those "bitter" people who "cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them" as well as the presumably benighted bigots who fail to realize that "the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam." With his anti-American, neo-Marxist outlook shaped by mentors and heroes such as Frank Marshall Davis, Bill Ayers, Saul Alinsky, and Jeremiah Wright, Obama is naturally inclined to be suspicious of freedom and to feel sympathy for groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood.
Reflex affinities such as Obama's have a long, bloody history, and anyone wishing to understand the threat posed by the Obama administration to the fabric of America is well advised to place its policies and rhetoric in a comprehensive historical perspective. How is it that an educated person can be attracted to totalitarian ideologies and predisposed to reject the freedoms of the western world? This was, arguably, the central question of the twentieth century, and it has assumed a renewed urgency since 9/11, a time when leftists have applauded terror attacks on the United States and claimed that America's enemies are in fact righteous victims. What is one to make of their seemingly sophisticated arguments justifying atrocity? Can such people really believe, to cite only a few examples, that the 9/11 hijackers were motivated by a longing for social justice? That the Palestinian leadership is committed to peace with Israel? That people are better off in Cuba, with the highest per capita imprisonment rate in the world, than in the United States?
Jamie Glazov responds to such questions in "United in Hate: The Left's Romance with Tyranny and Terror," a brilliant investigation that not only extensively documents leftists' support for brutal regimes, but also diagnoses their worldview as a psycho-social syndrome of pathological dimensions. Leftist hatred, Glazov demonstrates, has less to do with specific political programs or economic systems than with a deep-rooted disenchantment with democratic freedoms and a corresponding "negative identification" with violence.
