The most convincing piece of evidence I've seen is the one about Zoroark entering N's castle and then never being found. My mind isn't made up, though, especially after hearing "N's Zoroark," but then again, that could be a character who just doesn't know. It could be that no one really knows but N himself. Zoroark could easily pull off the illusion of being a human for a long time, but actually growing up as one with relatively accurate timing would be difficult, especially if he didn't have anyone to imitate (because there is no "other" N). However, I don't think the developers thought this far ahead, so I'm going to hastily vote "yes."
I don't calculate stat values, I don't breed my way to perfection, and I don't care about natures. I catch my Pokemon the way they are and am generally too lazy to convert them from individuals to brainless drones. If you use this philosophy, copy & paste this into your signature.

The B&B "Acireale Mare" in Santa Tecla welcomes you through the whole year. You can choose among one of our rooms, all wide and provided with air conditioning, TV LCD, Wi-Fi internet connection and private toilet with shower. The rooms are furnished in very good taste, with the right mix of comfort and tradition. The building, of the early '900s, is completely restored and maintains clear elements which recall the local tradition. The liberty style of furniture, the smooth pastel colours, wood, lavic stone and terracotta together create a smart and refined environment, though sober, in line with the soul of Sicilian tradition. All the rooms have independent access to the kitchen/dining room, fully equipped, where breakfast is served. Homemade granite of any taste and the cakes prepared by Graziella, the fresh season fruit grown by Angelo in his own orchards located nearby, will let you start every new day with local tastes and flavours. The B&B is only 50 metres far from the sea, surrounded by the green of lemon orchards and immersed in the calm and simplicity of one of the most beautiful eastern-Sicilian maritime villages.

When it comes to blogging, the visual part is as important as the written words, if not even more. The pictures grab the attention and keep the reader interested, but it all depends on your blog's topic. Some blogs require more pictures than others.
If you, like me, are not very confident using Photoshop, I here have some suggestions that will quickly and easily let you add the Photoshop magic to your photos. Here's a look at where and why I edit pictures.
I recently found Picmonkey.com and have used the site almost daily when editing my photos. It's a great and free photo editing site if you love to take your photos to the next level, put captions in fun fonts onto your pictures, create collages or add an effect to your pictures.
Picture: Food Recipes HQ
I suggest placing fonts on pictures for that modern, graphic touch. It adds the professional magazine feel to your blog in a playful and fun way – and people love to look at stuff like that. From polaroids and traditional museum frames to craft scissors and rounded corners… framing your pictures is a quick and easy feature on Picmonkey, but stick to a theme and don't over-do it.
Picture: Kuhinjske Price
Picmonkey lets you create collages in a matter of second – they offer pre-designed templates, but you are free to move them around however you like it. You can also make a nice Facebook cover picture in a matter of seconds! Here's mine:
Snagit is the second photo editing software that I use on a daily basis. You download it to your computer and it gives you the freedom of saving photos, giving you a chance to get back to editing later, as opposed to Picmonkey, where you don't have your own file of pictures.
Snagit lets you do pretty much the same stuff as Picmokey, however the opportunities when it comes to size is larger with Snagit, making it perfect for making infographics etc.
Pictures from: Tasty Pretty Things
The graphics in these two sets are made on Picmonkey, but the clothes and the fonts are put together in Snagit. This way you get the best of both worlds.
Some tips about pictures
Here are some of my general tips to keep in mind when choosing the pictures for your blog.
- Quality: You don't have to have a professional camera, to shoot quality images (although it helps). Make sure to train your eye and keep a steady hand. Be aware of light and don't rush. Take your time. Learn about photo editing. You can remove the blur, the red eyes, you can sharpen the image and you can even it out.
- Motive: When taking food photos for instance, setting up the plate before you take the picture is essential. Think about the colors of the food, the background and the position. Maybe a red tomato will take the image from plain to extra in a matter of second – plus tomatoes are tasty! The two pictures on top of this blog post are from my Instagram (find me there: MilanaFSA) and the picture with the eggs certainly wouldn't have looked nice without the contrasting background, while the picture of the blueberries becomes more special because of the position and the lighting.
- Picture accessories: When I first started taking food pictures I didn't have fancy plates, or cute spoons. After I noticed how much impact different accessories have on the food and the pictures, I purchased a few accessories here and there, that could enhance the pictures. Cheap stuff – nothing fancy!
- Practice and learn: I use Pinterest on a daily basis. It's fun and it's inspiring. Don't copy others, but take inspiration from them and interpret the different styles that you see online. Soon enough you'll have lots of ideas on your own!

Tablet surge stunts Christmas PC sales
By Barry Collins
Posted on 13 Jan 2011 at 07:39
PC sales were hampered over the crucial Christmas quarter because of the success of the Apple iPad and other tablet devices, according to two leading research firms.
Separate reports from both IDC and Gartner reveal the worldwide PC market witnessed modest growth in the fourth quarter of 2010, with both firms blaming the iPad for lower than expected figures. Gartner pinned year-on-year PC sales growth at 3.1%, while IDC plumped for a more modest 2.7%.
Media tablets, such as the iPad, as well as other consumer electronic devices, such as game consoles, all competed against PCs
"Overall, holiday PC sales were weak in many key regions due to the intensifying competition in consumer spending," said Mikako Kitagawa, principal analyst at Gartner. "Media tablets, such as the iPad, as well as other consumer electronic devices, such as game consoles, all competed against PCs."
IDC forecast that tablets could have even more dire consequences for the PC market this year. "Growth steadily slowed throughout 2010 as weakening demand and competition from the Apple iPad constrained PC shipments," said the firm's research director, David Daoud.
"In addition to relatively high market penetration and a 'good-enough' computing experience with existing PCs, consumers are being more cautious with their purchases and competing devices have been vying for consumer dollars. This situation is likely to persist in 2011, if not worsen, as a wave of media tablets could put a dent in the traditional PC market."
Netbook sales have been particularly hard hit by the rise of tablets, IDC claims. "Consumer fatigue is playing an important role in many markets as the mini-notebook surge wanes and consumers watch their spending and evaluate other products," said IDC's research analyst Jay Chou.
Lenovo and Toshiba rise
It was a tough quarter for the world's two biggest PC sellers, HP and Acer, who both saw sales fall year-on-year, according to both analysts. Dell recorded a modest increase, which saw it overtake Acer to reclaim the world number two spot, according to IDC, although Gartner still has Dell pegged in third.
Both analysts agree it was a stellar quarter for Lenovo and Toshiba. Lenovo recorded 21.4% growth according to Gartner and 21.1% in IDC's figures, while fifth-placed Toshiba hit 12.1% growth in both analysts' tables.
What a ridiculous statement
I'd no more buy an iPad INSTEAD of a PC that you'd buy a bicycle instead of a plane ticket.
The headline should read "PC sales fell due to lack of cash, cheaper devices were bought instead".
By cheysuli on 13 Jan 2011
Well, you know, most people already have a pc and/or laptop so... they probably wanted the most shiny device they can find and seeing as Tablets (iPad) are the latest thing out there...
As for desktops, we're not at the point where any core 2 duo is MORE than fast enough for most of us and only people like me, upgrade to things like Core i7/i5/i3 because we can.
As for tablets, it'll soon pass when people go back to standard laptops. (Fingers crossed as the iPad isn't exactly 'cheap')
By rhythm on 13 Jan 2011
Whilst there is an aspect of people buying tablets just because they are new and shiny, I really do think that some people buy one instead of a laptop.
There are plenty of people in the real world (outside of tech circles) who mainly use a laptop for surfing and emailing.
It is these people who will consider getting a tablet instead of replacing their ageing laptop.
The ageing laptop can still be used for music, Word files etc, but the tablet will be used for email, facebook, twitter and general internet usage
By SteveSmith on 13 Jan 2011
@cheysuli - Not as ridiculous as your lack of insight though. Just because you wouldn't buy an iPad instead of a PC doesn't mean nobody else would. PC sales at Christmas will be bulked up by teenagers and students and fashion concious buyers who want to be able to surf the 'net and communicate with their friends. A lot of these will find an iPad / tablet more suitable for them and go with that option.
By ralphuk100 on 13 Jan 2011
I wonder how many people bought tablets though instead of PCs out of either hype or ignorance.
I know of people who were going to buy an ipad thinking they were as good as a PC but was shocked when I told them it was basically a giant ipod touch.
By tech3475 on 13 Jan 2011
iPads sales not included as part of Mac sales stat but Netbooks are counted in 'PC' sales
Given the presumption by both Analyst firms that the iPad is not a computer/Mac replacement, their sales figures have been excluded as seperate from Mac sales.
Now could the same assumption be applied to Netbooks? Would anyone use a netbook as a primary machine anymore than a person would use an iPad as a primary machine?
By ihsan on 13 Jan 2011
It's not as if they were buying puppies rather than computers. It's the same companies who make the computers and the tablets.
Basically, companies release a new product and, shock, people buy that.
By steviesteveo12 on 13 Jan 2011
@tech3475 You've been misleading people. Not anti-Apple by any chance, are you?
By SwissMac on 13 Jan 2011
No your assumption is wrong really @ihsan because the iPad uses a different OS to the Mac whereas the netbook uses the same OS as the PC.
I'm a Windows programmer and I could see myself using an iPad for general home computing. Web surfing, email etc.
By TimoGunt on 13 Jan 2011
View it from a functional perspective because that's what consumers are doing..
"because the iPad uses a different OS to the Mac whereas the netbook uses the same OS as the PC."
My set-top box uses Linux, yet the sales of those aren't being considered as part of PC sales.. You have to view it from a functional perspective. And functionally, you have to ask, can a Netbook really replace a PC?

ookaookaooka asked: Is the uu pronounced as two syllables like aa?
Looks like I'd better update my pronunciation guide. XD I've realized I've left some sounds out.
Uu is pronounced with a slightly longer ooh sound than u is. And eh is pronounced like the e in beck or check. Except with a breathy sound at the end, like Jeih.

Alex asked: Do they do anything symbolic with their slashing claws? Decorate, carve, paint? Do they have any mythologies regarding how they developed their slashing claws or maybe their horns? Are there any gender specific mythologies?
Carving would be considered body modification, which paski are generally against (unless they come from that scarification cult). Also, since nails are highly vascularized, it would hurt. They do sometimes paint their nails, though! To be pretty, but especially for festivals. There are a handful of festivals where paski will paint their secondary slashing claw a different color from the rest of their nails, and each color means something different. For example, for one festival, the priests might paint the secondary claws gold, normal Civilians might paint them red, and Military/Police might paint them black. Or young adults not yet moved into their adult family groups (ie. not married) paint their nails blue. That kind of thing.
The only gender-specific mythology I have at the moment is also the one that involves how the slashing claws supposedly came about. I first introduced it here. This is Raatasira mythology, though historians believe they may have ganked it from the older Takasira mythos.
Darajistreh the Maker was busy making the world and hunting and other lady stuff, so she fashioned a man out of yarn to run her household. Suutastri ("The Yarn-Man") cleans and maintains the house, does chores, changes the seasons, etc. One of his aspects is that he is the male's god. He is the epitome of what it is to be male: docile, subservient, good in the home, and protective of children.
His more famous aspect, and the one most paski nowadays worship him for is that of the Children's Protector. A hideous monster known as the Bukha (literally "Hungry", though more often translated as the more menacing "Devourer") constantly circles the house and tries to get at the children inside. It is Suutastri's job to make sure Bukha cannot accomplish its goal. You can read an urban legend involving a Suutastri doll here.
During one of their fights, the Bukha tears Suutastri to shreds. Darajistreh comes to find her household empty and her yarn-man strewn everywhere. She carefully puts him back together and fashions a pair of curved knives for him to attach to his wrists, so he can protect himself, and the children, from Bukha's long fangs and long claws.
And that is how secondary claws were created.

Lord, we know there is no good order except that which we create…
There is no hope but us. There is no mercy but us. There is no justice. There is just us.
All things that are, are ours. But we must care. For if we do not care, we do not exist. If we do not exist, then there is nothing but blind oblivion.
And even oblivion must end some day. Lord, will you grant me just a little time? For the proper balance of things. To return what was given. For the sake of prisoners and the flight of birds.
Lord, what can the harvest hope for, if not for the care of the Reaper Man?

Okidoke, got some military uniforms for the Earth Coalition.
A while ago I introduced Lexington and Teej; here is the other half of their unit. I really know very little about the military, and will have to do a bunch of research (thank you, RecklessRamble, for getting me started!), but right now I'm saying this is a four-man marine/commando squad of some sort, and they go hunt down and sabotage Raaja gang operations. This will let me explore stuff from the human's side.
Lieutenant Hunter Bachman was born in Germany in a quiet, somewhat remote village. His identical twin brother Shannon is a pediatrician; Hunter joined the military. Some politics ended with United Europe transferring him to the Americas' military, where he now heads the little commando unit.
Hunter likes cats and tea and math and has a girlfriend and two cats waiting for him back in Germany. Like Lex, he's one of my oldest still-around characters. He also served as a personality inspiration for Kayahan (though the paski is more ruthless by about a factor of five), so I imagine if they met they'd get along fine because they operate on the same wavelength.
Teo Richard, Sr. is the sergeant for the squad, and is Teej's father. Teo was born in Mexico and a not-very-well-thought-out night with his girlfriend led to the two of them becoming parents at the age of sixteen. Teej went to live in California with his mother's family, and Teo stayed in Mexico, eventually joining the army and making it into the marines.
Teo is gruff and solid and dependable and a pessimist. He and Hunter are close bros. Teo and Teej are also the muscle of the squad.
The Earth Coalition's little symbol thing is the Earth being orbited by the sun. It's supposed to represent the way all humans are united by their heart's center, Earth, no matter where in the galaxy they are, but that doesn't stop people from making quips about geocentrism and flat-earth theory coming back into style.

I received a suggestion a while back from someone asking for a folder for NPCs that everyone could use. Not just the monsters like Peanut Butter, but random townspeople or minor thugs and whatnot. NPCs that everyone could use and incorporate into their stories.

To help you guys sound things out. My vowel pronunciations were inspired by my years taking Spanish and Japanese. This works for all four languages, not just Raatasingh, though the "aa" sound is unique to that language.
a = ah (as in father)
aa = ah-ah (emphasis may be on first or second syllable, depending on word)
e = ay (as in cake or bay)
i = ee (as in meet)
ee = longer ee (the "e" sound in Banjaree is held longer than the "e" sound in Duniyaa)
o = oh (as in… oh… or toe)
u = oo (as in too)
Because there have been multiple translators working on converting the paski languages into English, there have been a few spelling discrepancies that have unfortunately made it into general usage and will thus be difficult to eradicate.
The most glaring example would be the use of the hard "c" in Caandisingh. To remain consistent with the spelling used in the other languages, a "k" should have been used instead of the hard "c". So you wouldn't get wacky spellings like "Cuneyt" and "suikastci*". There have been some arguments that the words where "c" is used are pronounced with a softer "k" that is discernible to sensitive ears; whether or not this is true has been fiercely argued by linguists almost since First Contact.
*Whoever first proposed the spelling for this word should be shot. That "c" there is pronounced like an "s".

Found it! My very favorite picture is of Bear and I going on one of our last trail rides before he was retired from riding for good. The vet thought he wouldn't last more than a few months with his health problems, but he lived for another five years, and was very happy.
Also, a good reference for just how tall a 17.3 hand horse is. Had to jump from the mounting stump onto his back.
Photo with 9 notes
It's been one year ago today since Bear died. I still miss him.
I'm trying to find my very favorite picture of us, but I can't find the CD it's on. I'll keep looking. This one's okay, though. It was taken back in 2005, when I was showing him a lot. I always had the tallest horse on the grounds.
Still love ya, Handsome Man.

ookaookaooka said: Is it DU-ni-YA-a or du-ni-YA-a?
hah-MAH-ree doo-NEE-yah-ah
The full name is Hamari Duniyaa, which translates roughly to "Our World." So anyone who calls the homeworld Hamari is laughed at, since that is grammatically incorrect. ("Our"? Our what?)

STILLWATER, Okla. —
The Saville Center will host its second-annual Be the One awards ceremony and auction April 28 at 6:30 p.m. in the Conoco Phillips Oklahoma State University Alumni Center.
Executive Director Brandi White said the night is set aside to not only raise funds, but honor community members.
"The Be the One Awards is just where we honor people in our community that we feel like, through a nomination process, have chosen to be the one for kids," she said. "We know that in the life of a child there is a lot of different influences from within their family, the community and things like that. We're looking to really highlight and honor those who make those positive influences."
There will be three different award categories. The direct service award goes to someone who impacts a child or a child's safety such as law enforcement, social work or a teacher. The community volunteer award goes to those who work with a group to better a child's life. Finally, the donor award is given to a person associated with the Saville Center, whether a donor or volunteer, who helps the agency.
Last year's honorees included Stillwater Police Sgt. Jeff Watts, Bob McCracken, Karen Gallagher and Patti Ahrberg.
A silent and live auction will feature items including several OSU football experience packages, a one-hour hitting session with OSU baseball coach Josh Holliday and All-Star MLB player Matt Holliday, a dinner party hosted by Tracy and Ann Caine and more.
White said part of the funds will be used toward the center's newest program, the Counseling Cottage — a new building on site that will provide trauma-focused mental health services for abuse victims. The other part of the raised funds will be incorporated into the Saville Center's annual budget for services.
White said the fundraiser accounts for a quarter to a third of the its yearly budget.
Mike and Kristen Gundy will serve as the event's honorary co-chairs again this year.
"They attend every year and do a welcome and help us in the planning of the event," she said.
Tickets are $75 and are still available for purchase. Admission includes dinner, free beer and wine and entertainment from a live DJ.
For more information, call 377-5670.

University of Cambridge > Talks.cam > Machine Learning Reading Group @ CUED > Sparsity: Beyond L1
Add to your list(s) Download to your calendar using vCal
If you have a question about this talk, please contact Colorado Reed.
The L1 norm is a popular choice of regularizer when learning a mapping from inputs to outputs under a frequentist framework. This norm has the useful property of being convex and promoting sparsity. Sparse solutions are desirable when you believe that only a subset of the input features are required to generate an output e.g. when the input dimension is much larger than the number of data points. A significant body of research is dedicated to studying when such regularizers work and where they do not. These ideas can be extended to group or structured sparsity, which can be used to sparse multi kernel learning and non-linear variable selection. Finally we shall discuss sparse matrices developed by generalizing the L1 norm in particular ways, including sparse PCA and dictionary learning.
This talk is part of the Machine Learning Reading Group @ CUED series.

First Aid & Emergencies
Heimlich Maneuver for an Infant (Younger Than 1 Year)
If the baby can cough or make sounds, let him or her cough to try to get the object out. If you are worried about the baby's breathing, call911.
WARNING: Do not begin the choking rescue procedure unless you are certain that the baby is choking.
If a baby can't breathe, cough, or make sounds, then:
- Put the baby facedown on your forearm so the baby's head is lower than his or her chest.
- Support the baby's head in your palm, against your thigh. Don't cover the baby's mouth or twist his or her neck.
- Use the heel of one hand to give up to 5 back slaps between the baby's shoulder blades. See picture A.
- If the object does not pop out, support the baby's head and turn him or her faceup on your thigh. Keep the baby's head lower than his or her body.
- Place 2 or 3 fingers just below the nipple line on the baby's breastbone and give 5 quick chest thrusts (same position as chest compressions in CPR for a baby). See picture B.
- Keep giving 5 back slaps and 5 chest thrusts until the object comes out or the baby faints.
If the baby faints, call911 (if you haven't called
already). Then:
- Do not do any more back slaps or chest thrusts.
- Start CPR. If you do rescue breaths, look for an object in the mouth or throat each time the airway is opened during CPR. If you see the object, take it out. But if you can't see the object, don't stick your finger down the baby's throat to feel for it.
- Keep doing CPR until the baby is breathing on his or her own or until help arrives.

Along with it being a fashion hotspot, New York City is a nightlife capital with bustling neighbourhoods in abundance. The Big Apple offers an eclectic mix of cocktail bars from the edgy and urban to the super stylish and luxe. We've compiled a list of the best New York cocktail bars across this vast city, from hot new destinations to tried-and-true staples.
One thing you will never have trouble doing is discovering a great New York Cocktail bar, and it doesn't matter whether you favour a simple classic that doesn't leave a hole in the pocket (meaning you can save more to wander fifth avenue the next day!) or a rare beverage which may perhaps cost you more than dinner.
The East Village is home to a vast array of cocktail lounges; it's a fabulous dense playground of innovators, tastemakers, and ambitious newcomers. Within a few minutes' walk, you can go from inspired classics to precisely engineered spirits with an ultra-modern edge. It's a constantly evolving, truly exciting place for a cocktail crawl and represents the true ethos behind the cities renowned nightlife.
Death and Company
This is where you'll find Death and Company; a sophisticated cocktail den with an extensive menu. Choose your spirit, decide if you'd like your poison shaken or stirred and then relax and enjoy the bustling ambience.
Angel's Share
Alternatively, if sipping cocktails away from the hustle and bustle is more your thing, heat to Angel's Share; a secret hideaway inside the Japanese restaurant Village Yokocho. It's the perfect place to sip expertly made versions of classic cocktails. Grab a window seat and watch the world go by.
The East Village is also where you'll find Elsa, a dimly lit hideaway which provides an intimate setting with a cocktail menu that features some creatively named drinks, from Death Of A Ladies Man (rye, maple, Laphroaig Scotch, lemon and tobacco bitters) to Invitation To A Beheading (gin, jasmine and green tea infusion, lemon, bitters). Tables are adorned in tea-light candles, which create a serene glow over its white-washed walls and antique furniture.
Above 60
But, if sipping cocktails head-and-shoulders above the rest on New York's rooftops if more your thing, then do it in style at the chic 60 Thompson luxury boutique hotel in New York's most stylish district – Soho. Above 60 is an intimate roof top bar at the hotel. Since it's a members and guests only venue it might be slightly out of reach for some, but it may be worth checking in for the night to sip cocktails with the cool crowd overlooking one of New York's most trendy destinations.
Salon de Ning
If a contemporary vibe with a taste of the Oriental takes your fancy then Salon De Ning at the Peninsula hotel is the cocktail bar for you. With fabulous views over the famous Fifth Avenue and the city's superb skyline, which you can take in from your Chinese-style day-bed, this Asian inspired lounge offers signature cocktails in a luxurious atmosphere.
There are only a few places in the world as exciting and atmospheric as NYC, the city is never still, there is always a new hot spot and fashion is ever changing. And with its dazzling array of cutting-edge cocktails, you will be spoilt for choice. Now I think it's time to grab a Cosmopolitan (Sex and the City style – of course!)
If you're lucky enough to be jet setting off to NYC soon be sure to tweet us @fashionsonvacay to tell us your favourite stylish places to while away an evening in the Big Apple.

Here is a picture of my wife's 1988 Indy Sport. The only thing she hasn't let me change yet is the engine. The rest of it goes like this: Hood from a '94 sport, (bought for $25.00, repaired and painted by myself). Seat from a 97 Indy 500, (bought from a local dealer for $150.00). I rebuilt the engine in '96 when my wife blew it up (hee hee). Also, I raised the front of the rear suspension by one bolt hole to remedy the "nose heavy" feeling it had in powder, now it'll go just about anywhere, with no adverse affect on the overall handling of the sled! I should mention that she loves this machine as it is, but some night, I will sneak out to the garage, and replace that anemic 340, with a fresh 488fan.... Thats all for now...

The American dream is owning your own home, and for more than half a century the government has encouraged home ownership through low-interest loans and tax breaks. Today, about two-thirds of American households own their homes. Or I should say, partly own them. Banks and other mortgage lenders own the other part. And here's the potential problem.
You see, homes are about the only assets whose value has increased during these bleak economic times. That's at least partly due to the fact that interest rates are at rock-bottom lows, meaning that a lot of people can now afford a mortgage to buy a home, thereby boosting the housing market.
With the holidays and the congressional interregnum, Washington has been a quiet place in recent weeks. But that quiet belies feverish behind-the-scenes planning as political partisans and advocacy groups get set for a particularly contentious legislative session.

AUSTIN — Fozzy Whittaker, perhaps the biggest enigma on the Texas roster during his three years with the Longhorns, might make his return to the starting lineup this week due to the same reason he's been out of it for so long. Once again, it comes down to injuries. This time, though, it's Whittaker who's [...]

Tailback picture still fuzzy for Longhorns
AUSTIN — After four games, at least that many depth-chart adjustments and an off-week, the Texas Longhorns still aren't any closer to settling on a No. 1 tailback than they were in the preseason.

Features: FDA to Create New Multidisciplinary Outbreak Team
In an effort to shift its approach to foodborne illness from a fragmented process to a coordinated, prevention-oriented safety program, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced that it will create a 40-person multidisciplinary team dedicated to foodborne disease outbreaks.
Features: The Father of Food Preservation
Just after the new year began, President Obama signed legislation for the most sweeping overhaul of America's food safety system in more than 70 years, allowing the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to impose new rules to prevent contamination. It's a concern that dates back to Roman times, but food microbiology saw major advances starting in the late 1700s, spearheaded by no less than Napoleon.
Features: Budget Cuts Could Gut New Food Safety Law
The Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010 was signed into law in January after months of wrangling– but now the law and other food safety enforcement efforts face new challenges. House Republicans aim to slash the federal budget, and two of their targets for spending cuts are the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Current proposals would cut $88 million from USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) and $241 million overall from the...

Features: Chinese Poultry Rule Stirs Controversy
As signs point toward a move by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to permit importation of Chinese processed poultry products to the U.S., some question whether this would be a good idea.

it has been by far the hardest semester of my college career. God has brought me in and through so many trials and temptations. and He has been faithful. but through it all i lost sight of myself. i didn't believe in myself. i felt unworthy, not good enough, alone. i hurt people deeply. people hurt me deeply. i pulled away from God. i overcomplicated things. i had too high expectations of myself and others. i believed the lie of the enemy. i didn't believe in myself. i didn't like or even love myself.
so, fight after fight with friends, with God, with myself, i couldn't handle it. i wasn't going to be a good enough friend if i didn't believe i was a good friend. i wasn't going to love my boyfriend well if i didn't believe i loved well. i wasn't going to draw closer to God if i kept choosing to pull away from Him. this had to stop. this season of hurt, shame, frustration, and anger needed to stop.
one of the hardest things to do is to forgive yourself. to forgive myself for hurting people. to forgive myself for not spending enough time with the Lord. to forgive myself when i was selfish. it was like all my hurt was because of my own self. it felt like it was all my fault that i was feeling this way. but in reality it was really the devil taking my flaws, my mistakes and convincing me that this is where my identity lied. i was beginning to believe the enemy more than the truths God had spoken over my life time and time again this semester. this isn't my fault.
i am a human. a human who makes mistakes. to expect myself to have it all together and understand everything all the time is dumb. i will fail. not because i choose to, but because that is the nature of being a human being. and just because i fail doesn't mean i'm not good enough or unworthy. it means i made a mistake. and all those around me have forgiven me for it, why can't i forgive myself? it's because i forgot that Jesus loves me. because i hadn't believed in who i truly am in such a long time. i didn't choose to love who God created me to be.
i am a wonderful friend. i am good enough. i am worthy to be loved by those around me. i am patient and kind. i care well. i'm honest and true. i'm a servant. and in knowing these things i forgive myself for this past semester. i forgive myself for past mistakes, for hurting others, for not spending enough time with the Lord. and i take these truths about myself and believe in them. i believe in who I am and who God has called and created me to be. my mistakes do not define who i am. i am a child of God saved by grace.
believe in who God has created you to be. forgive yourself. love yourself again. you're worthy. from first hand experience i know that is hard to believe sometimes, but it is true. and the moment you start believing it that is the moment you will truly feel it as well.

St. Louis juvenile judge to be honored in Washington, DC
Tuesday, 06 August 2013 03:17 Published in Local NewsA St. Louis judge will be honored by the U.S. Supreme Court for his work in juvenile justice.

Judge Edward has been the driving force behind the Innovative Concept Academy. The five year old school is credited with turning troubled youths into academic successes and productive members of the community.
Edwards has been on the St. Louis Circuit Court bench since 1992, serving as Chief Juvenile Court Judge for five years.
Triple shooting drives home crime summit message of cooperation
Tuesday, 06 August 2013 02:49 Published in Local NewsA triple shooting just blocks away from a neighborhood crime summit Monday night is reinforcing the message that residents and police have to work together to combat violence in the City of St. Louis.
Police Chief Sam Dotson was on his way to the summit hosted by Better Family Life when he was called to the 4500 block of Evans where two men and a woman were shot.
Chief Dotson says there were several people outside in the area when a lone gunman approached the porch of a home and opened fire, but some of the witnesses aren't cooperating. "So it makes it very hard when we come to a scene, when we have information that we're looking for, and even family members aren't cooperating," Dotson said.
Cooperation was the message at the crime summit attended by the Chief, Mayor Francis Slay and about 200 residents. Better Family Life founder Malik Ahmed was cheered when he told the crowd that regular citizens need to get involved in order to bring peace to the streets. "Our community cannot afford to have a negative relationship with the police," Ahmed said.
Rodriguez booed, singles in 1st AB since drug ban
Tuesday, 06 August 2013 01:44 Published in National NewsCHICAGO (AP) — Alex Rodriguez stepped up to the plate greeted by a standing boo-vation and blooped a single in his first at-bat of the season.
Hours after Major League Baseball suspended the New York Yankees star through the 2014 season in the Biogenesis drug case, Chicago White Sox fans got their say Monday night.
And, boy, did they let him hear it.
They jeered him during pregame warmups and introductions, and they really tore into him when he walked to the batter's box leading off the second inning.
On the third pitch, Rodriguez dunked a hit into shallow left field. He made it to third base with no outs, but was stranded.
Rodriguez flied out in his next two at-bats and then took a called third strike in the eighth inning while fans chanted "Steroids! Steroids!" He also handled a few grounders at third base as Chicago snapped a 10-game losing streak with an 8-1 win over the struggling Yankees.
At 38 and coming back from hip surgery, Rodriguez said he's fighting for his career.
He did not deny using performance-enhancing drugs in a news conference at U.S. Cellular Field after the punishment came down, and he said he will talk about whether he used PEDs at another time when he is more free to speak.
He did, however, dig in for a battle, saying no one else will defend him unless he stands up for himself. Then, he took to the field, batting fourth against the White Sox.
"There's nothing about it that's been easy," Rodriguez said. "All of it has been challenging. I'm sure there's been mistakes made along the way. We're here now. I'm a human being. I've had two hip surgeries. I've had two knee surgeries. I'm fighting for my life. I have to defend myself. If I don't defend myself, no one else will. There's a process. I'm happy with the process. In due time, hopefully whatever happens, happens."
The Yankees are hoping something good happens with him on the field. They're out of playoff position and desperate for power, especially their third basemen — the players they've had playing that spot this season had a combined 32 RBIs, fewest in the majors according to STATS, and were hitting .215 with four homers.
Rodriguez, with 647 career home runs, arrived at the ballpark in a dark gray Cadillac around 3:10 p.m. CT and waved when a fan shouted "A-Rod!" on his way into the stadium.
In the clubhouse, his locker was jammed with the usual clothing and equipment, and there was a scouting report on his chair.
It all looked so ordinary, yet there was nothing ordinary about this day.
The three-time MVP was one of 13 players disciplined on Monday, one of the biggest mass suspensions in the history of the game.
All-Stars Nelson Cruz, Jhonny Peralta and Everth Cabrera were banned 50 games each. Rodriguez, however, got 211 games, due to start Thursday.
He will appeal his suspension, and that means he will likely be able to play the rest of this season while his case winds through arbitration.
Prior to his first game since last Oct. 18, Rodriguez signed autographs and drew a crowd — of both fans and photographers.
Rodriguez said "a lot" went into his decision to appeal his case but added "I'm not going to get into any of that today."
"What we've always fought for was for the process, and I think we have that and at some point we'll sit in front of an arbiter and give our case," he said. "And that's as much as I feel comfortable telling you right now."
Asked if he denies using PEDs, Rodriguez said, "Like I said, we'll have a forum to discuss all of that and we'll talk about it then."
If he hasn't used PEDs since then, why not say it?
"There's a lot of things that have been thrown to the wall, and I think when the time is right, there will be an opportunity to do all of that," he said. "I don't think that time is right now. And I don't want to interfere or get in the way of anything that — with the process."
On Friday, Rodriguez hinted that the Yankees did not want him back and were trying to avoid paying him the $94.5 million they still owe him through 2017.
Union executive director Michael Weiner said those comments were probably out of frustration and that Rodriguez would probably agree they were "counterproductive."
Weiner also said he and Rodriguez have talked since then — but not about those comments.
"But I would guess that all things considered, and having thought about it a little bit, he's probably not very happy with those comments," Weiner added.
Rodriguez, meanwhile, brushed off a question about his comment on Friday, saying "Today is another day, and I'm focused on what my job is and my responsibilities to the New York Yankees and to the fan base of New York."
He thanked the fans, media, people from the Dominican Republic and Hispanics "all over the world" for the support.
Whether he has the Yankees' support is another issue.
"If I'm productive, I think they want me back," Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez batted .120 (3 for 25) with no RBIs last postseason, including 0 for 18 with 12 strikeouts against right-handers.
"It's been a long time for me, and the last time I was on the field it wasn't pretty," he said. "I was horrific."
