SAC Fund Manager Wants Jury to Hear Kinnucan Discussion
A lawyer for SAC Capital Advisors LP fund manager Michael Steinberg said an excerpt of a secret recording that he says depicts the money manager as wary of inside information should be heard by a jury to demonstrate his innocent mindset.
Software Protection, RPX, Symantec: Intellectual Property
The U.S. Supreme Court will rule for the first time in decades on patent protection for computer software, taking up a case that has divided the industry and may reverberate through the American economy.
The justices agreed Dec. 6 to hear arguments on a patented system for limiting the risk that one party to a derivative trade won't follow through on its obligations. The case splintered a federal appeals court in a ruling that one judge said called hundreds of thousands of patents into question.
Obama's Pollution-Control Agenda Goes to Court Tomorrow
Two of President Barack Obama's top pollution-control measures face courtroom tests tomorrow as coal-dependent utilities, miners and some states challenge what they call overreach by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Efforts to regulate pollutants that cause smog and soot, as well as mercury from coal plants, have moved in fits and starts for more than a decade. If both rules go forward it would cause power producers such as American Electric Power Co. (AEP) and Southern Co. (SO) to shutter old plants or invest billions of dollars in pollution-control technology.
Volcker-Rule Critic Raskin Seen as a Voice for Consumers
When Federal Reserve governors voted in 2011 on the Volcker rule ban on banks' proprietary trading, Sarah Bloom Raskin was alone in opposition. For her, it wasn't tough enough.
Raskin will be among the regulators voting next week on the final version of the rule, which is likely to be stricter than the original proposal. Later this month, the Senate may decide whether to confirm her as the Treasury Department's No. 2 official and its highest-ranking woman ever.
Winston & Strawn Expands in Houston: Business of Law
Two oil and natural-gas partners joined Winston & Strawn LLP's energy practice group in Houston.
The arrival of Denmon Sigler, most recently with Baker Botts LLP, and Craig S. Vogelsang, with Norton Rose Fulbright, follows the firm's hiring in October of four partners from Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP who joined the litigation and bankruptcy practices.
Obama to Propose Curbs on NSA Spying to Safeguard Privacy
U.S. President Barack Obama plans to propose curbs on the National Security Agency to guard against unwarranted snooping in Americans' private affairs.
The president is scheduled to get a report next week from a five-member panel of lawyers and former security officials that's reviewing the spy agency's sweeping collection of communications data worldwide. It was created after the leaks of secret government documents by former government security contractor Edward Snowden.
Congress, Bayer, Orange, Sanrio: Intellectual Property
The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation that technology companies say could reduce the time they spend fighting some patent lawsuits.
The vote yesterday was 325-91, with 27 Republicans and 64 Democrats opposing the measure. The Senate has its own version of the legislation, which it may take up early next year.
Eversheds Expands With African Firms: Business of Law
Eversheds LLP is expanding in Africa by combining with law firms based in South Africa and Tunisia.
Mahons Attorneys in South Africa will rebrand with the Eversheds name in 2014, giving the firm offices in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Port Louis in Mauritius. Mahons has 10 partners who advise on business matters.
Apotex, Fandango, High Times: Intellectual Property
Apotex Inc. defeated Sanofi (SAN), France's biggest drugmaker, in an Australian patent dispute over the rheumatoid arthritis drugs Arava and Arabloc, with the country's highest court ruling for the first time on the patentability of medical treatments for humans.
NCAA Concussion Suits Merger Sought Even With Differences
Ex-football players' head-trauma lawsuits against the National Collegiate Athletic Association, unlike National Football League cases consolidated by federal judges and later settled for $765 million, defy easy grouping.
The former student athletes have filed 10 class-action suits — two of them this week — accusing the NCAA of failing to protect them from concussions and, in the first of the cases, seeking to represent all current and former students who participated in contact sports. At least one case includes two football helmet makers as defendants.
BP, Anadarko Ask Appeals Court to Reverse Spill Decision
Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (APC) and BP Plc (BP/) asked an appeals court to toss out a judge's finding they were both liable under the U.S. Clean Water Act for the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier found BP and Anadarko, partners in the doomed Macondo project, are automatically responsible under the law for polluting the water because they owned the well. The 2012 ruling allowed the federal government to seek fines of as much as $1,100 per barrel of oil spilled — multiplied by as much as 4.2 million — without having to prove the issue of liability at trial.
Australia Gay Marriages May Be Short-Lived Pending Ruling
Australia is set to hold its first legal same-sex marriage ceremonies on Dec. 7. Five days later, those unions may be invalidated by the nation's top court.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott's government wants legislation passed by the Australian Capital Territory allowing same-sex marriages declared unconstitutional, and the High Court has reserved judgment on the matter until Dec. 12. Unless the government seeks an injunction, 47 ceremonies are scheduled in the five-day window, according to Rodney Croome, national director for lobby group Australian Marriage Equality.
HTC, ParkerVision, Disney, Baidu: Intellectual Property
A London judge said HTC Corp. (2498) couldn't sell its One Mini phone in the U.K. starting Dec. 6 after it was found to have infringed patents owned by Nokia Oyj. (NOK1V)
While Judge Richard Arnold also ruled that HTC's One phone contained microchips that breached Nokia's patent, he delayed an injunction against the product so HTC could appeal. Blocking U.K. sales of the One would cause "considerable" damage to HTC, he said in a ruling today.
Google Wins Dismissal of Suit Over Co-Mingling User Data
Google Inc. (GOOG) won dismissal of a lawsuit challenging its privacy policy allowing it to co-mingle user data across different products because the plaintiffs didn't convince a judge they suffered losses as a result.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul Grewal in San Jose, California, yesterday agreed with Google that the plaintiffs failed to claim any injury that could be clearly traced to Google's actions. Grewal wrote in his order that the plaintiffs, who also claimed that Google disclosed the data to application developers and advertisers, can refile their claims.
E-Cigarette, Fracking Rule Changes Seen in 2014 Surge
Over the next 12 months, the Obama administration is due to issue regulations governing everything from e-cigarettes to smoke-stack emissions in what experts predict will be a second-term rush to put rules in place before leaving office.
"In every administration, these things have to be wrapped up in at least the second to last year," Cindy Skrzycki, author of "The Regulators: Anonymous Power Brokers in American Politics," said in an interview. Skrzycki said 2014 will be an important year for agencies to get new rules under way.
Kaye Scholer Loses California Partner: Business of Law
Kaye Scholer LLP lost two partners this week, including G. Thomas Stromberg, co-managing partner of the firm's California offices in Los Angeles and Palo Alto.
Stromberg, a corporate attorney, joined Jenner & Block LLP as a partner in Los Angeles. At least four other partners left Kaye Scholer's Los Angeles office last month. Changes in the office's approach may account for some of the departures, Mike Solow, Kaye Scholer's managing partner, said in an e-mail.
Wisconsin Tries to Follow Texas in Reviving an Abortion Law
One month after Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott won a U.S. appeals court ruling overriding a decision to block abortion restrictions in his state, Wisconsin's top lawyer is aiming for a similar result.
Both states have laws requiring doctors who perform abortions to obtain admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles (48 kilometers) of their clinic. Advocates argue the provision protects women's health. Opponents say it's medically unnecessary and would force facilities to close, burdening a woman's constitutional right to have an abortion.
Linklaters, Shearman, S&C on ThyssenKrupp Deal: Business of Law
Linklaters LLP advised ThyssenKrupp AG (TKA), Germany's largest steelmaker, on its agreement to sell its U.S. plant to ArcelorMittal (MT) and Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corp. (5401) as it seeks to offload operations that are the worst investments in its more than 200-year history.

2nd annual Judeo-Spanish Conference
Judeo-Spanish has evolved for more than five centuries since the expulsion of the Jews of the Iberian Peninsula. This symposium looks to engage in dialogue to explore the multifaceted aspects of Diaspora through variable changes from the time of the Sephardic expulsion through the 21st century. This year's theme "Survival in the Diaspora" will bring in world
scholars and activists in Judeo-Spanish studies including Marcelo Benveniste (Argentina), Liliana Benveniste (Argentina) and Solly Levy (Canada residence/ Moroccan origin). We will also be offering a series of workshops by Invited Speakers Benni Aguado of New York and Brian Berman of Los Angeles on learning the Rashi and Solitreo handwriting, alphabets used for centuries by the Sephardim in the Diaspora. Graduate student presentations will be held throughout the two day conference as well in order to promote and encourage new scholarship within Judeo-Spanish studies.
Full conference schedule and registration (free) information may be found at:
The Young Research Library will be featuring several unique Judeo-Spanish texts in its glass cases during the week of the Symposium. More information to follow.

In March 2006, then-Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., found the notion of raising the debt ceiling quite distasteful.
The fact that we are here today to debate raising Americas debt limit is a sign of leadership failure, he said. It is a sign that the U.S. Government cant pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Governments reckless fiscal policies. Leadership means that the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase Americas debt limit.
He did. It passed narrowly by a vote of 52-48.
hmmm, he said leadership failure. that's odd, who knew obama was a seer.

Voters In Spartanburg, S.C., Say They Favor Cain
One of the earliest primary states is South Carolina, which holds its primary on Jan. 21. South Carolina is a Republican stronghold — with a strongly conservative voting base.
In Spartanburg, S.C., a handful of Republican voters share what's on their minds — and many are leaning toward Herman Cain.
Perry Aims To Win Voters
Texas Gov. Rick Perry is trying to win hearts and minds in the Palmetto State right where it counts — with food.
At a luncheon in Spartanburg Thursday, his wife Anita, a former nurse, says she loves South Carolina: "Ham and grits, I'm that kinda girl. I think I could live here, too."
And she took some jabs at President Obama's record.
"Our debt is more than $14 trillion and climbing," she says. "I had to look up what a trillion was."
If you think Rick Perry is looking over his shoulder, wondering how Herman Cain stole his thunder, you get that sense from his wife, too.
"As health care professional, when I hear 9-9-9, I wanna call 911 — because it will raise the taxes," she says, referring to Cain's economic plan.
'We're Bankrupt'
On Tuesday night, the Spartanburg County Republican Women held their monthly meeting over dinner and member Mary Anne Riley urged her friends to join in prayer sessions for the country.
"Look, we really need help here — and sometimes it's nice to get together maybe a breakfast. You can sit there, you can say prayers and maybe have a cup of coffee or something like that," Riley says.
The group's treasurer Jane Johnson says she thinks the country is in "big trouble."
"We're bankrupt, economically, morally, ethically," she says. "I mean just turn the TV on and see what has happened to our civilization. And just as God protected the Israelites — I think he can either protect this country or he can destroy this country."
As for the Republican candidates, Johnson says she knows and likes Newt Gingrich. She says she thinks he's intelligent and doesn't put up with nonsense. Her second favorite is Herman Cain — she thinks Washington needs a good business person.
"Perry bothers me, just a gut-level feeling I guess," Johnson says. "Romney is maybe not as conservative as I'd like for him to be."
At a gathering of the Spartanburg Chamber of Commerce, Donna Simpson says she admires Herman Cain's plainspokenness, practicality and business experience.
Simpson does marketing and PR for an assisted living center. She's deeply disturbed by the health care overhaul and what it means for business.
"I've attended some seminars where supposed experts from maybe Medicare and different organization have come to speak," she says. "And they've just thrown their hands up and said, 'Who knows? We can't give you any direction probably more-so than you already know right now because we really don't know what's coming down pike.' So it's just left everyone in bad state."
A Faith-Based Decision
At a rehearsal of the Palmetto Statesmen Barbershop Chorus, Robert E. Lee, who sings lead, says religion and politics go hand-in-hand.
"You're in the South down here, where you're in the Bible Belt. They say don't get religion into politics," he says. "That's like sayin' don't get our lives into it, because that's who we are and what we are."
Lee and some of the other singers sit down to chat. All of them are engineers and all but one is retired. They all vote Republican. Jon Bane says he thinks his party has a problem with electability.
"Any party that would nominate John McCain to run for the president has got a problem," Bane says. "We don't pick our best candidates. Let's face it, we do not."
Martin Hill says there isn't one candidate that he favors.
"There is at this point really no candidate that just stands out for me — Herman Cain probably comes the closest," he says.
He does say he has trouble with Mitt Romney.
"The issue of him being a Mormon is not so much to me as it is just knowing what he's done as governor of Massachusetts," he says. "Health care is one in particular."
Hill goes on to say he'd prefer to see a Christian in the White House. And Lee jumps in to follow up on that.
"I think you hear down here talking about a Christian, you're talking about those that follow the Nicene Creed," he says. "And the Mormons do not follow the Nicene Creed."
Lee says he's a big fan of Michele Bachmann.
"I hate to say this — it's a shame that Bachmann is not a man. It'd be completely different," he says. "Because I think that the politics would respect her more than that. And that's just the natural thing, the way it is, and I hate to see it."
So Lee is focusing on Herman Cain.
"I believe he's a faith-based person," Lee says. "And I especially like his 9-9-9. I do. I like it clean cut. You pay nine. You pay nine. You pay your nine."
These men agree that the Republicans in power have lost their way. They've been fiscally irresponsible — not conservative enough.
"Look, there are plenty of Republicans in Congress that could have long since stood up and done something about the circumstances we find ourselves in now," Hill says. "So I don't think it's fair to blame the Democrats necessarily for the situation."
Says Lee: "As we say down South, 'Amen brother.'"

Orange Coast College: Suspension of Professor Without a Hearing for Political Science Lecture
At Orange Coast College, days after the September 11th 2001 terrorist attacks Professor Kenneth W. Hearlson, a professor of contemporary politics, invited all students to join him in a discussion of the recent terrorist attacks. During the event Hearlson argued that silence on crimes against Jews in the Middle East was consent to terrorism. Several Muslim students complained that Professor Hearlson had called them terrorists, but that accusation was belied by the existence of a full audiotape recording of the class. Nevertheless, without even a formal charge or a hearing, OCC President Margaret A. Gratton promptly ordered Professor Hearlson off the campus. Faced with the sunlight of media coverage and the scrutiny of public opinion after FIRE launched a media campaign for the school's blatant violation of the First Amendment, OCC begrudgingly announced Professor Hearlson's reinstatement to his classroom in December—three months after his punishment and suspension began.
- "The Bell Tolls for Orange Coast College's Margaret Gratton: Not the Liberty Bell!," March 15, 2002: Orange Coast College announced recently that Margaret Gratton would retire from her post as president this coming summer. During her tenure, President Gratton displayed a reckless disregard for her moral and legal obligations to academic freedom and to due process.
- "Orange Coast College President Margaret Gratton Retires," March 4, 2002: Margaret A. Gratton, Orange Coast College's president for the past six years, announced Monday (March 4) her intention to retire at the end of the 2001-02 academic year.

Answer by Joshua 1 87 · Jul 10 '11 at 02:29 PM
Even though my level of understanding is fairly preschool comparatively, I've always felt epigenetics comes into play for the following reasons:
Skinny people are born skinny, pretty much regardless of what they eat. Many people who eat appropriate quantities of the healthiest "SAD" food seem to be sick and fat.
I've tried, after a year of paleo, to reintroduce carbohydrate and it resulted in meteoric weight gain, 15lbs in two months time! The reintroduction of carbs also brought back my severe leaky gut symptoms (that I had previously associated solely with my gluten intolerances).
I don't need to have someone tell me "yr doin it wrong" because they have no clue about my genetic predispositions, the fact that my paternal grandmother was morbidly obese, my maternal grandmother despite hard farm living for most of her life and a fairly healthy WAPF-type diet, struggled with her weight (although she was blessed with some longevity).
I've always felt that people who are "born thin" and try to lecture the overweight on how to be thin is ridiculous. When I meet someone who was once morbidly obese and lost a few hundred pounds, then kept it off through diligence and maintenance - that's the person I want to listen to.
Answer by Patrik 12210 · Jul 10 '11 at 08:47 AM
Epigenetics are a BIG deal. Transgenerational epigenetics + eating Paleo = an even BIGGER deal.
Kudos to Dr. K for following this line of thought.
The Shanahans of Deep Nutrition have also advocated for a similar position on diet and health.
PS my pet theory is that transgenerational_epigenetics might go a looooong way in explaining the obesity epidemic -- as in, the travesty of formula-fed infants who grow up to have children.
Answer by Aravindan Balasubramanian 27 · Jul 10 '11 at 01:29 PM
First of all, I think it was thoughtful of Quilty to write the post. Irrespective of whether you are a Quilt fan, to the extent he was motivated to write the post to address concerns that Jack raised, props where props are due!
Secondly, I think Epigenetics could be big deal as the science unfolds. Stephan Guyenet wrote an article discussing epigenetics over 1 year ago (cannot find it at the moment) and it definitely left me with a "holy sh*t, that would be a HUGE deal if the acceleration of DOCs are being fueled by this concept".
Having said that, the science behind this is still quite nascent from what little I've read (and yes it's little so maybe I'm grossly wrong). Here is what I fear short term until the science evolves - it would be very easy for people to adopt the mentality of "I'm screwed because of what my grandmother did so screw it, pass me another twinkle, coke, and slice of pizza".
So I have to ask myself, what is actionable and would materially impact the choices I would make as a result? There is nothing about epigenetics theory right now that materially changes my view of diet and lifestyle
Everything else - tweaking macronutrients, debating the minutia of biochemistry, and other orthorexic tendencies will continue evolve, but at the end of the day I do not see epigenetics materially changing the 80-90% of what I already do or at least should be doing. Maybe that will change once I understand this concept more and the scientific details behind it.
Answer by cliff 1 13612 · Jul 10 '11 at 12:00 PM
He makes so many assumptions based on jack kronk, he blames his weird lipid panel on his very moderate carb intake of 150-200g based on nothing. We have no idea what jack kronk does everyday. Its a joke.
I definitely agree with the epigentics part somewhat though.
"it safe to say we should just agree to disagree on everything one another says here and anywhere else and we should be fine"
lol it doesn't have to be so absolute, I agree with people on stuff and disagree on other stuff, no biggie, I wasn't trying to discredit you, I;m sure you help out a lot of people, I just don't agree with this specific issueAnswer by Shari Bambino 22733 · Jul 10 '11 at 03:32 PM
This is all very fascinating but also very complicated. I look forward to more discussions on the subject. I feel like we are talking a bit of apples and oranges here though. Epigenetics and transgenerational epigenetics are not the same thing yet we seem to be communicating as though they were.
Here's a great primer on epigenetics for those interested. I think it's a very easy to understand presentation.
Transgenerational epigenetics seems to be, for lack of a better description, a more complicated subset and I think something we know less about. I think this is a good article that makes it a bit easier to understand and also highlights some of the complexities involved in trying to understand how this all works.
Answer by luckybastard 12543 · Jul 10 '11 at 02:03 PM
i don't buy the epigenetics explanation to the extent that i think some people are trying to take this. if this theory concerning epigenetics and obesity and DOC's is to hold up, then why do second generation immigrants in this country- and even the immigrants themselves- succumb to the same same maladies that people on the standard American diet suffer from when they start to consume our diet? i helped my boss lose a lot of weight for her daughter's wedding. she is a filipino immigrant who's been here 30 years. she was one of the easiest people to deal with because all i had to tell her was to go back eating like she did as a child in the phillipines with some advice about oils and such. the weight fell off of her.
i also don't buy it because of my own experiences. i was obese basically from birth: formula fed and the whole bit. all of my mom's kids popped out the womb well over 8 lbs with my youngest brother weight 9lbs 6oz. now being that my mom gave me some pretty sucky genes to start with, according to jack kruse, i would have to stay low carb the rest of my life to keep a decent weight, which i've only recently attained in the last couple years. how is then that i can eat copious amounts of starch and fruit while adjusting my fat intake depending on how much carbs i'm taking in, and keep a stable weight?
from my perspective- again i'm not a dr and don't even play one on tv- the simplest and probably most correct way to look at the obesity and DOC's situation in this country is not to look backwards but to look around you. tweak your diet to see what degree you can heal your metabolism and from there see what you can tolerate. i do think low-carb paleo is a good place to start to heal metabolic syndrome but after that, i think people definitely need to start messing around with cycling carbs to break the physiological insulin resistance that sets in with going low carb for too long.
btw, that momma who gave me the bad genes has dropped 50lbs this year so far with low carb paleo and has been easing into a moderate carb version and still doing well. happy birthday, ma :-)
Edit: Thinking more on the subject, wouldn't the argument from a cursory observation standpoint that the parent's or grandparents diets are the cause of some maladies be confounded by the fact that as a child, in most cases, you are reared on nearly the identical diet of your parents? considering many times that the quality of diet is based on things such as location and socioeconomic status, i think there are too many confounders to start laying it at the door of epigenetics- a study that is very new and not thoroughly understood. i've been reading and listening to chris kresser regarding prenatal and childhood care and i totally agree with what he's saying. i guess what is messing with me, unless i am reading it wrong, is that kruse insinuated that the macronutrient ratio you should eat is determined by epigenetics- outside of your hypothalamus leptin signaling being destroyed by fructose and excessive o6- just seems not to jive with what i've observed and experience.
" That is why people like JK have always believed that high carbs are not a problem for their entire life. Their experience made them believe that. The converse is also true for someone like me. I knew carbs had to be kept low because of what I knew about my own grandmother and mother and what I did to myself the ten years before I became a morbidly obese surgeon"
my question is to other people well-versed in it. is this where the science is taking us on epigenetics?
Answer by Arlokk 1020 · Jul 10 '11 at 04:53 PM
Epigenetics is nice and all, but there is no way for us to rely on it unless we are a direct descendent of the Okinawans on both sides of our family. Our world is too fractured genetically for these types of conversations to be useful. What Quilt is getting at, basically, is N-1 self experimentation is good. I agree.
However, what should have been an answer in Jack Kronk's VAP thread is NOT what I would refer to as Paleo 3.0.
Answer by Josh M 11040 · Jul 10 '11 at 05:39 PM
I have always thought that epigenetics influences evolution. When I took some evolutionary biology courses in University (20 years back) we talked about the punctuate equilibrium theory of evolution (long periods of constant life followed by a short period of rapid change). Perhaps this is Nature's way of throwing anything against the wall and see what sticks. We are still evolving, it never stops. The way I look at it perhaps epigenetics is one of many causative factors that leads to the rapid mutation and change organisms can undergo.

Answer by Harry 1060 · Jul 10 '11 at 06:10 PM
One advantage to being an old geezer (68) is that my mother and I were born before the perfect storm of agribusiness, junk food and misguided nutritional theories. My grandmother was born in the country in the 19th century. Her mother was no doubt eating too many grains but otherwise well. From my understanding, my grandmother came to stay with my mother when she was pregnant with me. (My father was in England with the Air Corps.)
Answer by Kirill 902 · Jul 10 '11 at 07:21 PM
Not practical. There's not a damn thing the average person can do with epigenetics. Beyond general paleo guidelines of QUALITY food(max nutrients/min antinutrients), things like carb/fat/protein ratios and specific foods and supplements are all case sensitive and should be determined experimentally and by genetic analysis. It's not high protein or high fat, it's just food quality.
So if you want to become some intermediate in a developing familial line of people "adapted" to bread and Snickers bars, be my guest. But without genetic testing and experience most people are probably sh!t out of luck on knowing whether their ancestors consistently ate the same things. What if great grandma drifted into drastically different dietary habits then her lineage? What if it happened with each subsequent generation? What if the two parents are from completely different backgrounds?
There's no doubt that epigenetics is an occurring phenomenon. But on a practical level it's a wash. Show me a person who's gut can disable WGA, isolate the gene or bacterium, and then we can talk about epigenetics being useful. For now, it's just an area under the "needs more research" umbrella. Nothing more, nothing less.

Office of Evaluation (OED)
Evaluation of FAO's support to the implementation of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries
The Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) was unanimously adopted by FAO Member States on 31 October 1995. The Code and its related International Plans of Action (IPOA) are voluntary instruments widely recognised by governments and NGOs as the global standard for the sustainable development and management of fisheries and aquaculture, and as a basis for reviewing and adopting national fisheries legislation. In adopting the CCRF, FAO members also requested an inter-regional programme of external assistance to upgrade capabilities of developing countries to facilitate compliance with their obligations under the Code. One of FAO's Impact Focus Areas for 2010-2014 supports the promotion of responsible fisheries and aquaculture sector management at the global, regional and national levels. The work includes mostly capacity development activities in support of the implementation of the CCRF, Compliance Agreement and associated International Plans of Actions. FAO's Global Partnership for Responsible Fisheries (FishCode) has also received substantial financial support from donors in recent years, which has not been independently evaluated. In this context, FAO Programme Committee in April 2010 selected FAO's support to the implementation of the CCRF as one of the priority areas for evaluation in 2011. This evaluation will assess the work by FAO in the period 2004-2011, funded through Regular Budget and Voluntary resources, in support of its Member Countries' efforts to implement and comply with the broad range of guidance contained in the Code. The Evaluation is expected to be finalized by May 2012 and discussed at the Programme Committee at its session in October 2012.

Which game console should you buy?
A lot has changed since the Xbox 360 debuted in November 2005. After what has seemed like dozens of upgrades, improvements, omissions, price drops, motion controllers, and bundles, the dust has settled (once again) and we're left with three competitively priced consoles.
Editors' note: This console buying guide was updated on November 23, 2011, for the holiday season.
Such an evenly matched trio of hardware brings up the ultimate question for prospective video game console buyers: which home console should you buy?
This question doesn't necessarily have a definitive answer. Quite frankly, the answer could be any of the three depending on what you're looking for. In other words, there is no default "best console." It's about finding the one that's right for you--and what will be the deciding factor in your case will ultimately depend on what you plan to use the console for. That said, in lieu of detailing every last bit of functionality that each console offers, let's discuss the type of person we think would benefit most from each console. … Read more

I have the same eyes like your´s!!!!!! LOVE IT
beautiful eyes,I love you BIllie Joe!♥♥
You my Guardian Angel! I LOVE YOU BILLIE JOE!
Finally I SEE YOU! I missed you, but I hope you are having an awesome holidays! (My eyes are very similar to yours!!) ;)
I knew it ! I felt that somebody observing me ... haha... Well so that means I must think twice before doing something ? no way I can't. I'm too reckless. Did you know that at the concerts in Los Angeles, Vienna and Nîmes your eyes weren't green but blue ? But blue, green or almost gold like this, they are always beautiful. Did I forget to say something ? oh yes, you're crazy ! but I love your craziness. You look like a hunter.
" One night of the hunter. One day I will get revenge. One night to remember. One day it'll all just end. ... 'Un, deux, trois, cinq' . Blessed by a bitch from a bastard seed. Pleasure to meet you but better to bleed. Rise, I'll rise, I'll rise. Skinned her alive, ripped her apart. Scattered her ashes, burried her heart. Rise up above it, high up above it and see. Pray to your God, open your heart. Whatever you do, don't be afraid of the dark. Cover your eyes, the devil's inside... Honest to God I will *laughs* break your heart. Tear you to pieces and rip you apart" (30STM) I think he's crazy too. Or maybe even more. Maybe. Who knows ? I can't tell I don't know him nor you.
P.S. : if you didn't notice it, they were and still are in touring this year. They started this summer. They were in Werchter too, the day after you, but I didn't want to see them. They were also in a small small city near my village in Alsace were I live on the 10th of July but I prefered to go to Nîmes...
Uh.....EYE see..... hehe, creepy looking pupil..... (Its a cool line btw, what u have written)
My darling Billie, truly expressive eye... :-*
Why do you always take pictures of your right eye? What's wrong with the left? -.-
I knew you was the Big Brother! Always watching us xDD

Navy Medicine Moves Forward In 2012
- Categorized in: Navy, This Year in Federal Medicine - Outlook 2012
Vice Adm. Matthew L. Nathan, U.S. Navy Surgeon General |
I am pleased to report that the state of Navy Medicine is strong. I am proud and humbled to be at the helm of this 63,000-person organization and though numerous challenges abound this year, I sleep better at night given the leadership team I recently inherited and where I know we are going to go together.
I wanted to provide a brief snapshot of where we are with regards to numbers.
Navy Medicine By the Numbers:
Medical Corps
Active Duty: 3,800 (of which 1,026 are in
formalized specialty/subspecialty training)
Reservists: 580
Nurse Corps Nurses: 4,073 Active Duty: 2,911 Reservists 1,162 Dental Corps Dentists: 1,275 Active Duty: 1,015 Reservists 260 |
Medical Service Corps Active Duty: 2,526 Reservists 349 Hospital Corps Active Duty: 25,481 Reserve Full-Time Support: 638 Manning: 97% |
Nearly 700 hospital corpsmen are supporting Health Service Augmentation Program (HSAP) and Individual Augmentee (IA) missions, close to 6,500 supporting Fleet Marine Force, and more than 5,000 in serving on ships, submarines, SEABEES and other sea-duty platforms. At any given time, approximately 2,700 are in training.
Navy Medicine personnel are serving all across the globe in various missions, and often it seems many people don't recognize the very real and direct impact our people have in the ongoing conflicts abroad, and even fewer recognize the sacrifices of the brave men and women of Navy Medicine. More than half of Navy personnel wounded in action and nearly one-third of those killed in action during these conflicts have been Navy Medicine, whether corpsmen or other medical personnel. These are staggering numbers and ones that I want to highlight and honor, as these sailors represent the very best of what we do — service and sacrifice.
Comments (2)
I am proud to see that the copsmen and other naval, marine, and military personnel are finally getting the respect that they so rightly deserve.
Very few people know the great danger the combat corpsman is in.
To all my fellow Corpsmen. Job well done. Come home safe.
My son is one of those wonderful Corpsmen serving at present. I am so proud of him and all the Health Corps. They give so much of themselves and many do not realize their service and sacrifice. Thank you to all of them.

Mbwana and his best friend Juma are two young men with big dreams. These dreams become reality when they photograph a gigantic fish leaping out of the sea and their small town blossoms into a tourist hot-spot as a result. But for Mbwana, the reality isn't what he dreamed – and when he meets the fish again, both of them forgotten, ruined and old, he decides only one of them can survive. Jonah is a big fish story about the old and the new, and the links and the distances between them. A visual feast, shot though with humour and warmth, it tells an old story in a completely new way.

In a post-nuclear future, when the earth is riddled with radiation, a new urban developer proposes to regenerate the cities back into civilisation. GAMMA sets out to stabilise the atomic mistakes of yesteryear for the re-inhabitation of future generations. Using its patented 'Nuke-Root' technology; part fungi, part mollusc, GAMMA intends to soak up the radiation and remove it from the irradiated cities, rebuilding them in the process.
Setting out from Baikonur, Kazakhstan, GAMMA launches its RIG_01 BETA and heads east to the iconic disaster sites of 1980's USSR. The film follows a group of researchers investigating GAMMA's practice from launch to deployment. Moving through a trail of unsuccessful ships across the desert, we follow the researchers from Aralsk's littered sea bed east to the Ukraine.
GAMMA begins its quest of nuclear stability in the Ukraine; Pripyat is used as a test bed for the deployment of GAMMA's patented 'Nuke-root' organisms. Intended to soak up the radiation, the roots infiltrate the ground and built structures to absorb the 'nuclear nasty's'. As with many urban developers, GAMMA's execution is cheap and ineffective. The city is in turn rendered more radioactive, broken and uninhabitable than before, only now with an outbreak of growing 'Nuke-roots'. The film follows the researchers through the ruins of the 70's utopia, moving across a whole city that consists solely of desolation and total abandon, the researchers witness the aftermath of GAMMA's almighty cock-up.
GAMMA was filmed in the Ukraine and Kazakhstan in association with the Unknown Fields Division. 2012 Film, Animation -
Brixton has degenerated into a disregarded area inhabited by London's new robot workforce - robots built and designed to carry out all of the tasks which humans are no longer inclined to do. The mechanical population of Brixton has rocketed, resulting in unplanned, cheap and quick additions to the skyline.
The film follows the trials and tribulations of young robots surviving at the sharp end of inner city life, living the predictable existence of a populous hemmed in by poverty, disillusionment and mass unemployment. When the Police invade the one space which the robots can call their own, the fierce and strained relationship between the two sides explodes into an outbreak of violence echoing that of 1981. 2011 Film, Animation, Character Design -
Within 'Somewhere' We are transported to a time where the boundaries between what is real and what is simulated are blurred. We live online and download places to relax, parks and shopping malls. We can even interact with our friends as if they were in the same room with simulated tele-presence. Everyone is connected and immersed in nanorobotic replications of any kind of object or furnishings, downlodable on credit based systems. Distance and time become as alien as the 'offline' The local becomes the global and the global becomes the local. Consumer based capitalism has changed forever. A truly 'glocolised' world. The singularity is near.
The film places us into this vision, observing an average inhabitant within the ever changing environment of the latest SimuHouse. From a painting to a park and from a telephone call to a shopping mall. That is until there is a leek in the system and everything malfunctions. The film concludes with the house being forced to reset, giving the character and viewer a stark reminder that nothing is 'real' even her dog, which re-materialises in front of her.

I don't know how I feel about this. I'm trying to imagine her playing that role, but I can't. Although I'm sure the casting directors know what they are doing.
Omg, how cute! I didn't know she has a boyfriend, and they seem like the perfect hipster pair!
Oh No! Our mornings will never be the same! Best of luck, Sam. We'll miss you!
Say what you want about AI, but in his prime, he did amazing things for the Sixers. Remember we were in the NBA Finals!? (Damn that Kobe)! Allen definitely hasn't been the BEST person, but he's a great player, so this only makes sense.
The Sixers announced they'll retire Iverson's number March 1, during a game against the Washington Wizards.

When Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain was published in 1997, it gained immediate critical and popular success, lasting sixty-one weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and gaining the National Book Award along with other accolades that year. Readers responded to the stirring tale of a Confederate soldier named Inman, his long journey home from the horrors of the Civil War, and his bittersweet reunion with the woman who waited for him. The novel cuts back and forth between Inman's difficult journey that tests his physical as well as his emotional strength and Ada's tale of her own struggles to survive in a harsh landscape and violent time.
Stories of Frazier's ancestors along with those of the North Carolina mountaineers who were caught up in the frenzy of the war years became the inspiration for the novel. Frazier explains in an interview with Salon, "The story seemed like an American odyssey and it also seemed to offer itself as a form of elegy for that lost world I had been thinking about." Serving as a model for the fictional Inman was Frazier's great-great-uncle W. P. Inman, who also turned his back on the war and met a similar fate. Cold Mountain is a moving tribute to those who were lost in the war and those who survived it, as well as a celebration of an indomitable sense of hopeful readiness in confronting the possibilities life holds.

This month I started a new project, the OutdoorPodcast. I wanted to try out to publish an audio podcast on iTunes. I also planed to release the audio content on a website using HTML5 media tags for modern browsers and classic flash integration for older plattforms. This way the content of the website is fully accessable through popular Apple devices such as the iPhone or the iPad. I realised the website using the latest Wordpress and the Podpress extension. If you want to take a look at the website, you can find it over at:
A second project ii started is about short wave listening and ham radio. It is also basend on Wordpress and equipped with JW Player. The design is completely responsive and the whole website works well on all devices. You can find it over here:
Mamboportal.com isn't maintained anymore. Although many articles are outdated, I decided to keep the website online as a resource for those, who still use older versions of Mambo and Joomla. Personally I have moved on and started some other websites. It would be nice to see one or the other of you at my new websites:
Odoo.tv My actual main project. It is a very sucessfull german internet tv station for outdoor products. Actually it is visited by more than 100.000 viewers every month. You can find hundreds of movies about outdoor gear, knives, technical devices such as gps or outdoor watches and about survival.
Odoo.tv Forum This is where you can find me online most of the time. It's the forum for Odoo.tv and it has a very active community. There are a lot of discussions about outdoor gear, knives and survival. Furthermore we have an own Teamspeak Server for live talks, we create podcasts, blogs and a lot image gallerys.
Konze Webdesign My company website. Some informations about me and what I do. Don't bother visiting, hasn't been updated in ages. :-)
Knifemovies.com My new project. From time to time I create some knife movies in english and publish them on this website. I took my first steps in wordpress with this site.
As I completely retreat from the Mambo & Joomla community, I decided to sell all my remaining projects and domains. The following domains will be for sale. The Mamboportal.com and the Mambers.com project can be bought as complete project, with the database.
Project 1----------------------joombers.com (PR6)mambers.com (PR6)Project 2----------------------joomlaportal.com (PR7)mamboportal.com (PR7)Joomla Domains----------------------joombers.dejoomble.comjoomlaforen.dejoomlastore.comMambo Domains----------------------mamble.com (PR4)mamboday.com (PR4)mamboshop.com (PR5)

The module is highly configureable through the parameter system. You can choose the amount of tags, the sorting, the size for the smallest and the largest tag and many more. The opzimize results AkoCloud checks the result against the most common words of a language. I included english, german, french and dutch in this release. Further optimization is possible through a buildin black- and whitelist.
