In a decision that environmentalists are praising and biofuel producers are fuming about, Massachusetts has announced that waste-based biofuels are the only ones guaranteed to meet the state's renewable fuel standards.
The ruling could potentially leave algae-, switchgrass-, and corn-based producers high and dry, although it's not quite the ban that some news outlets have called it, says Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources spokesperson Lisa Capone.
In accordance with the state's Clean Energy Biofuels Act of 2008, petroleum suppliers are required to make 2 or 3 percent of their sales by volume from qualifying biofuels beginning July 2011. (The program officially begins July 2010, but the mandated volume will be waived in the first year.)

Sorry, folks. No multiple birth records are likely to be broken this month. The Tunisian woman who claimed to be carrying six boys and six girls is unlikely to even be pregnant, a British newspaper reported today.
She has refused to undergo a medical examination and has gone into hiding, The Daily Telegraph reports.
A spokesman for the Tunisan health ministry told the paper, "Our staff interviewed her at length, but even her pregnancy appears to be in her imagination." Although she claims to be nine months pregnant, the ministry says, "there's absolute [sic] nothing about her appearance which indicates this."

A woman in Tunisia is said to be pregnant with six boys and six girls, The Sun reported yesterday.
If the woman, a teacher in her 30s who was not named in the newspaper, successfully delivers all 12 infants, as she has vowed to do, she would be going against medical advice and shattering the world record for multiple births.
"In the beginning we thought that my wife would give birth to twins," the father, identified as Marwan, told the paper, "But more fetuses were discovered. Our joy increased with the growing number."
After suffering previous miscarriages, the woman reportedly turned to fertility treatments, which are known to increase the probability of multiple births. However, it is highly unlikely that all the babies will make it to term, experts say.

Serious bummer, dude. California's totally ablaze, and the cops are laying the blame on marijuana growers.
That's right. Investigators with the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Narcotics Unit have confirmed that the camp at the origin of the La Brea fire was an illegal marijuana operation believed to be run by a Mexican drug organization. The suspects are currently on the lam and thought to be hiding out in the San Rafael wilderness, the U.S. Forest Service said in a prepared statement.
The La Brea fire first flared up east of Santa Maria, Calif., on Aug. 8 and has since burned 75,000 acres of chaparral, grass and timber. Last week, 234 houses were evacuated, but the blaze is now 25 percent contained, reports the Los Angeles Times.

After a slow start, the 2009 hurricane season is kicking off in a big way. Currently, three named storms are swirling around the Atlantic, including the season's first hurricane, Bill.
Tropical Depression Ana, which first appeared last week but never became a full-fledged storm, is now causing extremely wet weather in the Caribbean Sea near the Dominican Republic.
Tropical Storm Claudette struck the Florida Panhandle this morning with winds up to 50 miles per hour and about 4 inches of rain, but has already been downgraded to a depression as it moves into Alabama.
Meanwhile, Hurricane Bill is currently passing about 1,080 miles west of the Lesser Antilles and is poised to skirt Cuba and head straight toward Bermuda over the next five days. Bill is a Category 1 hurricane, with winds up to 90 mph, but it is expected to strengthen and become a major hurricane (Category 3 or higher) by Wednesday.

ExxonMobil pled guilty to five violations of the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act stemming from the deaths of 85 protected birds at natural gas facilities in five states, including Texas and Colorado, the Justice Department said today.
Hawks, owls, and other birds were apparently looking for a place to rest when they made an unfortunate stop in the company's oily open pits, where they became coated with or swallowed fatal amounts of contaminants.
With development of oil and gas resources encouraged by the Bush Administration, many new waste ponds have appeared on public lands. Some companies use electronic hazing devices that make noises and flashing lights to scare birds away. Others clean the water before discharging it or cover ponds to keep birds from landing there. Whatever ExxonMobil was doing, it apparently wasn't enough, even though a spokesperson told the Associated Press that the company has "a long-standing water-bird protection program."

Swine flu has been reported for the first time in Amazonian Indians, raising fears that the virus will cause more contagion and potential deaths in tribal groups around the world.
Seven members of the Matsigenka tribe in the Peruvian Amazon have tested positive for H1N1, the first example of the virus in Amazonian peoples, according to the human rights group Survival International.
Indigenous communities have little to no immunity to outside pathogens, which is why many Native Americans succumbed to disease when Europeans first arrived on the continent
Indeed, swine flu deaths are already stacking up in tribes around the world. Last month, H1N1 took its first casualty in Australia, a 26-year-old Aboriginal man in Kiwirrkurra, one of the country's most remote Outback communities, the BBC reported.

As Typhoon Morakot slammed into Taiwan over the weekend triggering massive mudslides and leaving hundreds missing, Americans along the Gulf Coast may have thought they were getting off easy this storm season. That could change.
The National Hurricane Center issued a warning this morning that a tropical depression is forming in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa and has a chance of moving west and turning into the U.S.'s first tropical storm of the season, to be named Ana, in the next day or two.
The 2009 Atlantic hurricane season was never predicted to be a doozy, because of the calming effects of warm El Niño waters, but so far it's been a total sleeper.

Here's a potentially tasty solution to Australia's invasive species: Eat them.
The Australian government plans to fly in marksmen on helicopters to shoot 650,000 camels and turn them into burgers and other meaty treats, reports the Associated Press.
In the 1840s, explorers first brought camels of all sorts to Australia from India and the Middle East. Today, there are more than 1 million one- and two-humped animals in Australia and their population has been doubling every nine years. In a land where vegetation is already scarce, camels are competing with native fauna and livestock. They also, apparently, are fond of breaking water pipes and bathrooms in their quest for hydration.

ALBUQUERQUE—Cellulosic biofuels extracted from native switchgrass could lend a helping hand to imperiled birds that depend on vanishing prairies in the Midwest.
With palm oil plantations overrunning Indonesian rainforests and corn-based ethanol in the U.S. spurring new deforestation abroad, it may seem like biofuels and biodiversity don't mix. That's why ecologist Bruce Robertson at Michigan State University's W. K. Kellogg Biological Station and his colleagues wanted to know how birds and bugs would fare if the U.S. switches from corn-based ethanol production to cellulosic biofuels based on grasses. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is pushing these biofuels to help achieve further reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Switchgrass has been singled out for biofuel production because of its low water requirements and high nutrient efficiency, along with the fact that it is native to the U.S.

MyEclipse: Javascript parser & memory problems
- Mar 29, 2012 - 11:04 PM
Post subject:
Javascript parser & memory problems
We are experiencing some problems with our MyEclipse environment recently and hope someone can shed some light on ways we can diagnose/solve our problem.
We create a new workspace and import our project from Subversion.
Some event will trigger MyEclipse to start consuming very large amounts of memory and processor. The memory will start at about 150meg and grow to about 1 gig (even if no action is done on the keyboard).
A restart of MyEclipse will not fix the problem. After a restart, the memory immediately starts to grow again making the environment unworkable within minutes.
Creating a new workspace will solve the problem for a while. MyEclipse will run fine for some un-determined length of time. Some developers start experiencing the problem after a few hours, and some will not experience for an extended period of time.
We have hooked up a Java Profiler to MyEclipse and our suspicion is with the
. We have turned off all validations but the problem continues to persist.
We have two suspicions:
1 – we have some very abnormal Javascript in one of our files.
2 – we have a JSP that is causing some recursive calls. (includeds that include an included file that links in some javascript – hope that is clear enough)
Is there some debug level that can be turned on to give insight to the problem?
Is there some know problem and work-around
Thanks for any help
We are running MyEclipse professional 8.6. Running with Windows vista (32 bit).

Sorry that you are seeing this issue with MyEclipse.
Can you answer some more questions for us ?
1. Can you please share the installation details from MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details ? Paste them here for us.
2. Did you install any third party plugins? If yes please list them.
3. Can you check if the problem occurs only when you import this particular project or it happens immaterial of the project ?
4. What are the steps leading up the problem and are there associated errors in the .log file (in the .metadata folder of your workspace)?
5. We have fixed lot of memory and performance issues in our latest release. I suggest you install MyEclipse 10.1 to take advantage of it. You need not uninstall MyEclipse 8.6. You can install MyEclipse 10.1 to a different location. The license you hold is valid for 10.1 too as our licenses are time based and not version based.
You can download ME 10.1 from this link :
Alternatively you can use Pulse to install 10.1 version. Here is an FAQ for the same :
Choose "Eclipse 3.7-Indigo" and follow the FAQ.
6. Take a look at this FAQ on memory and performance issues:
Make changes to the myeclipse.ini as recommended. Also change the JS mode as suggested in the FAQ and check if it helps.
Let us know how it works for you.

HOUGHTON -- The Houghton Housing Commission updated fire victims about the current condition of their apartment complex on Monday. The Houghton Housing Commission said there is extensive fire and water damage to the assisted living building, but their main concern is making sure all 41 residents have a place to stay. A structural engineer will look at the building Tuesday afternoon which will determine when residents will be allowed to retrieve their belongings. "Personally, I do not want to take the responsibility of having anybody go through there, falling, slipping, hurting themselves. I would appreciate people being a little patient to give us time to get somewhat organized," said Houghton Housing Commission President James Gentry. Residents were told all of the wiring on the fifth floor has to be checked, and adding a sprinkler system will be addressed. The Houghton Housing Commission says it will take a few months before all residents can move back into their apartments.
During the meeting, residents thanked firefighters, volunteers, and Michigan Tech for their generosity. Residents also thanked the community for sending in donations.
Another meeting will be held at Wadsworth Hall in room G-41 for all Heritage Manor residents, Tuesday at 11 a.m.
If you're interested in donating to the fire victims, items can be dropped off or mailed to the City Center located downtown Houghton. Checks can be made out to the Houghton Housing Commission.

Sierra Club Jumps Into Silicon Valley Congressional Race
Second Richest Member Of Congress Laments Obamacare Premiums
GOP Senator Advocates Calling Obamacare By Its Full 'Orwellian' Name
Thus far in the current expansion that began in 2009Q3, financial markets and corporate profitability have far outpaced the rest of the economy. I'm not saying we're in another financial bubble, but I'm decidedly saying that unless we enact and enforce tough financial market regulation, that's where we're headed.
It has been one year since I saw my sweet little Emilie. I will be honest, I hate when the media comes into town. I don't like seeing their vans with large satellite dishes parked on every corner. I don't like seeing my daughter's picture on the news associated with her violent death.
Dan is a gay man from Michigan who called my radio program on Oct. 23. He sounded frantic. He'd received one of the infamous cancellation letters from his insurance company, he said.
My daughter's killer previously had raped at least four other women, but police failed to realize they had a serial rapist on their hands because detectives had classified two of the cases as "non-criminal offenses."
At a time when the food stamp program is keeping millions out of poverty and easing the struggles of those who are already poor, our Congress is mulling over how best to cut the program. Perhaps three ghosts need to pay our "leaders" a visit and awaken their Scrooge-ish consciences.
The anti-apartheid divestment protest at Occidental was one of the most formative moments of his life. It was the beginning of a trajectory that led him from student, to community organizer, to law professor, to politician and eventually to the White House.
Today, nearly 4.4 million people in America have families, own homes and have even started their own businesses. They are pursuing the American Dream with one exception -- they cannot vote.
Our nation and our science have come a long way since HIV/AIDS began mysteriously claiming lives in the United States. Unfortunately, many of our laws haven't kept up.
There needs to be more certainty for policymakers and the public if they are going to go along with such a deal. Americans deserve a bigger say in their future.
It is time fulfill the social contract, realize Mandela's dream, and advance a society that is economically just and fair for all. We cannot succeed in this country or anywhere else in the world when a shrinking few do very well and a growing majority can barely make it.
A woman going bare-breasted will draw more stares than a man doing the same, but why? Why is a woman's nipple so controversial?
For at least a decade, Americans have been living in the shadow of war and yet, except in pop fiction of the Tom Clancy variety (where, in the end, we always win), there's remarkably little evidence of it.
The revelations that have come out about the National Security Agency's PRISM program are disturbing. The scale and scope of the collection of information about electronic communications and telephone calls that originate and pass through the United States is truly astounding.
On this Human Rights Day, stand in solidarity with victims of violence against women around the world. Encourage your member of Congress to support I-VAWA without reservation.
We need to switch from the dominant "great man" view of Mandela as a singular savior of South Africa to an understanding of his citizen-empowering politics if we are to do justice to his legacy and its potential for contribution to a world in turmoil and crisis.
Each and every one of these women is included because she is noteworthy -- a cutting-edge artist or writer, a revolutionary who is upending her community's and the world's limited notions of what a Muslim woman is capable of doing, a pioneer fighting for women's and girls' rights.
One year ago, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper signed an executive order ratifying the overwhelming victory Amendment 64, the nation's first statewide vote to end marijuana prohibition.
Rand is the guy who accused the president of being too tough on BP during the largest oil spill in American history. His feelings about corporations resemble how pre-Reformation Catholics felt about the Pope -- absolute infallibility.

I agree with Memphis Sue and UofMark. The details as I have heard don't seem that bad. There was no Penn State/Fla A&M type incident. Both White Station and Ridgeway Marching Bands, cheer squads, flag teams and majorettes have been practicing for most of the summer. None of them were in any way involved, yet will not be able to perform. Ridgeway will lose a great non-district matchup, which means their first game of the year will be on the road vs. Louisville, MS in the TN/MS Showcase Game at Noxubee County. Ridgeway will be at a disadvantage having no real game on-field preparation. Ridgeway will also lose its share of the gate in what would be a highly attended game. In a situation like this, sit those involved and allow the rest to carry on. I guarantee you if a band member or cheerleader had been the one hazed there would be no game cancellation.

Sussex in control as County struggle
5:40pm Sunday 20th May 2012 in WCCC
THE weather halted a Sussex charge against Worcestershire in LV= County Championship Division One at New Road.
Chris Nash and Ed Joyce turned the clock back 12 months with an unbroken opening stand of 143.
Their first century partnership in a year stretched Sussex's lead to a commanding 199 but bad light and light rain wiped out the final session and put declaration plans on hold until the last day.
For Worcestershire, the third day, albeit cut short by 44 overs, became increasingly uncomfortable.
In 2011 they stayed in Division One despite losing their first six matches. This year there has been an improvement, with three draws so far, but finding a way to win games will be key to their survival battle.
Any hopes they had of matching Sussex's first-innings total of 315 evaporated on the third morning with their dismissal for 259 after losing their last three wickets for the addition of 28 runs.
Jack Shantry managed to hold out with 22 not out in his first championship knock of the season but there was nothing substantial from his partners.
Ben Scott was out lbw to Jimmy Anyon, David Lucas was run out by Nash's quick reactions at short leg and Richard Jones scooped up a catch to mid-on as Monty Panesar completed a return of 3-65 in 23 overs.
Former Worcestershire player Steve Magoffin had the best figures after an immaculate performance in bowling 30 overs for his 2-35.
In response, Sussex's opening batsmen produced a timely resurgence after losing some of their momentum.
They began last season with five three-figure stands before putting on 201 in a successful run chase against Somerset at Hove on May 19.
Nash has not scored a century since reaching 120 in that match but the trip to Worcester – for his 100th appearance in first-class cricket – has been highly profitable so far with scores of 84 and 69 not out.
Apart from a couple of sketchy shots, notably a top-edged cut parried by Michael Klinger at third slip, Nash played himself into a good rhythm. His driving was particularly impressive with 11 fours before the umpires took the players off at 3pm.
In cruising to 70 from 118 balls, Joyce was a different player from the one who laboured for more than an hour over six runs in the first innings.
His timing was spot-on from the outset, with nothing better than an effortless pull for six off Lucas, and he also notched eight other boundaries.

The goal was $54,500, "and rough numbers look like we raised more than $57,000," Catherine Heindselman, executive director, says about the 21st annual March of Dimes Signature Chefs Auction, which was staged Oct. 7 and drew about 275 people to the Richard M. Wiggins Convention Center at Embassy Suites. "The event surpassed our goal for the evening, thanks to the wonderful chefs, sponsors, committee members and volunteers who participated and the generosity of the guests."
"It was an enchanted night of fun to benefit child victims of abuse and the prevention programs," Robert Humphries, executive director of the Child Advocacy Center, says about the sixth annual Blue Jean Chair-ity Ball, which drew about 260 people Oct. 6 at Highland County Club. Humphries estimates net proceeds at about $30,000.

More than 300 people attended a party for Reveille VII.
The retired Aggie Mascot celebrated with a personal cake, close friends, and a lot of attention. In attendance was Reveille's successor, and A&M's current Mascot, Reveille VIII.
Reveille may have retired back in 2008, but she hasn't lost her Aggie Spirit. Her owner, Tina Gardner, had nothing but good news to report. "She's lost some weight and she's got a spring in her step, and she's still going strong, so we're really excited about that."
Reveille celebrated her eleventh birthday.

Late in 2006 several events moved the U.S. and other countries closer to serious global negotiations to control greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It is therefore timely to ask what a meaningful global agreement would entail. A solid starting point is the 1992 U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, the international treaty that binds countries to act on the problem and under which specific measures, such as the Kyoto Protocol, are adopted. The signatories to the Framework Convention, including the U.S. and almost all other countries, declared the objective to be the "stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level which would prevent dangerous anthropogenic [man-made] interference with the climate system." The Kyoto Protocol, adopted in 1997, did not implement this idea very well: it took a short-term view of a long-term objective and as a result lost clarity, credibility and support along the way. The key now is to move beyond it.
The Kyoto Protocol calls on the high-income countries and the postcommunist nations of eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union to reduce their GHG emissions as of 2012 by around 6 percent compared with the 1990 level. This commitment is far better than nothing (a fair description of the Bush administration's nonpolicy), but it has two major flaws. First, it leaves out the developing countries, which soon will emit more than half of the world's GHGs. Without the active participation of China, India and other developing countries, stabilization of emissions is simply impossible. Second, the Kyoto Protocol takes the long-term objective of stabilization of GHG concentrations and transforms it into a short-term target on emissions reductions, with no clear link between the two. The main actions for stabilization will have to be long-term changes in technology, which exceed the 2012 horizon of the Kyoto Protocol.
The costs of emissions control will be far lower than the costs of inaction.
This time around, it is better to start with a long-term view. "Dangerous anthropogenic interference" will most likely kick in when carbon concentrations in the atmosphere are at 450 to 550 parts per million (ppm). The world's current trajectory of energy use, deforestation and industrial growth could easily take us to twice that range by the end of the century. The Stern Review, an excellent new report by the U.K. Treasury, makes clear that the consequences could be catastrophic: melting of ice sheets, with a huge rise of ocean levels; massive crop failures; increased transmission of diseases; and potentially calamitous effects on ecosystem services.
The world should therefore agree to stabilize GHG concentrations in the 450 to 550 range (my esteemed colleague Jim Hansen urges the lower end of the range, others the higher end). A midcentury goal, perhaps 50 ppm lower, would provide a 40-year target consistent with the end-century target. As new scientific evidence arises, the goals would be periodically adjusted. With the two long-term anchors set, the world's governments could then agree on strategies for reaching them. These strategies would include market incentives to reduce emissions; greatly expanded research on sustainable energy use, land use and industrial development; and technology transfers from rich to poor countries.
The Stern Review makes clear that the costs of such control will be far lower than the costs of inaction. Low-cost, high-benefit efforts look promising in at least three major areas: improved energy efficiency, energy technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and sustainable land use. Smart technologies can probably keep the long-term annual costs of GHG stabilization at below 1 percent of global GDP. Rich countries can help poor countries to adopt the needed technologies.
It is time, therefore, to aim for a sensible long-term framework in which all countries will participate. The economics are right. The U.S. Congress is set to back such a course. The White House will as well, soon after 2008 and, with some luck, even before.

When Chloe Lacy decided earlier this year to transition from male to female in order to become who she really was inside, she feared what her peers would do. Chloe, née Justin Lacy, told her family that she had nightmares about what people at Buchanan High School in her hometown Clovis, California would do to her when they learned about her transgender identity, according to KMJN Radio News. Her mother, Allison Murphy, told reporters, "Who wants to see a young man walking down the street with a dress on? In his eyes, that was the worst fear of all time, for someone to throw rocks at him, beat him up. It's just the overall society judgment is what did this." Reflecting on the recent suicides of Tyler Clementi in New Jersey and Seth Walsh in California, Chloe's stepfather said, "That's what we're creating as a society. We're creating this incredible cloud of fear for these individuals and they feel they have nowhere to go."
Chloe's mother said that as far back as kindergarten, her child was expressing a different gender presentation than her biological gender. During high school, Mrs. Murphy says that she forbade Chloe from coming out as transgender, for fear of harm. Chloe struggled with what the steps of transition would mean to her, seeking therapy and support, but mostly living a lonely existence at home except for a group of girls at Buchanan High in Clovis where she found a sense of peace and acceptance. After graduating from high school this past year, Mrs. Murphy says that Chloe moved away north to Eureka to begin a post-secondary education. There, she started to wear women's clothing more often, and shyly becoming the person she always knew she was. Fear killed Chloe, fear of misunderstanding and bullying, according to her family. Just a few days before her 19th birthday, on September 24 Chloe shot and killed herself inside her Eureka home where she was living for school. Her mother and stepfather say Chloe's death reflects the deaths of other teens who have recently committed suicide due to bullying,
Seven youths have committed suicide in recent weeks due to anti-gay and anti-trans bullying. Chloe makes the seventh. Both in Eureka and in Clovis, moves are afoot to remember Chloe in vigils and school assemblies. The Murphys intend to be at all of these commemorative events they can, speaking out against intolerance and bullying against youth like their Chloe.

Whisenhunt: 'No question' Daryl Washington's a Pro Bowler
While the Cardinals' eight-game losing streak has likely detracted national attention away from the team's star linebacker, head coach Ken Whisenhunt wasn't afraid to do his own grandstanding for Washington this week.
"I think so," Whisenhunt said when asked if Washington should be headed to Hawaii at season's end. "I don't think there's any question about that. I think about how lucky we were to get his contract extended with the way he's played."
With one sack over his final four games, Washington would become the first player in franchise history to record 10 sacks and 100 tackles in a single season. Washington would become just the fourth inside linebacker since 1985 to achieve the feat.
"Hopefully he gets that," said Whisenhunt in reference to the rare accomplishment. "We've seen signs of it, him building up to it, and he's developed into an outstanding football player. There is no question about it."
Whisenhunt said the organization was impressed with his speed when they selected him out of TCU in the second round of the 2010 draft. However with maturity, the Cardinals coach said he's using that speed to be a weapon all over the field.
"I think his understanding of the defense [is better]," said Whisenhunt. "He now understands his speed and it makes him tough."
It should be noted that Whisenhunt wasn't the only one stamping Washington's ticket to Honolulu. In their Pro Bowl Cheat Sheet released earlier this week, ProFootballFocus.com lobbied for Washington to start alongside Willis for the NFC.
In addition to his high sack and tackle totals, Washington has one interception, one fumble recovered and two fumbles forced in 2012.
Pro Bowl voting concludes on December 17, with an announcement of the two teams set to come nine days later on December 26 at 5:00 p.m. Arizona time.

The program's interface is clean and useful but a bit disorienting from the start because of an embarrassment of riches: Multi Project Planner offers so many details that its commands are difficult to memorize.

Crab Cakes
It seems like recipes for crab cakes have been everywhere lately. So when I grabbed an issue of Cooking Light at the store and saw crab cakes on the cover, I knew I wanted to make them. Neither Shane nor I could remember ever having crab cakes before so we were looking forward to trying them.
We basically stuck to the recipe as it was printed except we skipped the final dredge in the panko. These were really easy to make and we both ended up really liking them! The crab meat was a little expensive so we probably won't make them regularly, but it's nice to have something else to add to the dinner rotation occasionally!
Crab Cakes
from Cooking Light
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
3/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
1 pound lump crabmeat, drained and shell pieces removed
1 1/2 cups panko, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
Combine onion, parsley, mayonnaise, mustard, Old Bay seasoning, worcestershire sauce and egg whites in a medium bowl. Gently fold in the crabmeat. Gently stir in 3/4 cup panko. Cover and chill 30 minutes.
Divide crabmeat mixture into 8 equal portions (about 1/2 cup each); shape each into a 3/4-inch-thick patty. Place remaining 3/4 cup panko in a shallow dish. Working with 1 patty at a time, dredge in panko. Repeat procedure with the remaining patties and panko.
Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat both sides of crab cakes with cooking spray. Add 4 crab cakes to the pan; cook 7 minutes. Carefully turn cakes over; cook 7 minutes or until golden. Repeat procedure with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil, cooking spray and 4 remaining crab cakes.

The crab meat was a little expensive so we probably won't make them regularly
If you want to have them more often, you can just used canned white crab meat. It's less expensive than the lump crab meat. They're not AS good that way, but still pretty darn good nonetheless. That's what we use when we have parties and such to make mini-crab cakes as appetizers. - May 4, 2008 at 11:24 PM

Thanks! I think we bought the canned lump crab meat, but I did see a cheaper alternative right next to that on the shelf. Thanks for the tip :-)

Republican is the new N-Word.
RG3 reminds me of Steve Young a bit- similar quarterback style anyway.He is solid people too.I´m no Redskins fan (Go Niners) but I could definitely become a fan of this guy (like I have with Newton and Tebow).Hey racebaiters and identity politicos: Eat. Your. Hearts. Out!
The analyst´s comment is inexcusable....and racist!
How does this "analyst" feel about Barack?
Typical racist rant from a typical black racist.If a black person holds conservative values, that black person is NOT black; he or she is an Uncle Tom or some other trash name and has turned his/her back against blacks - a traitor to the black cause.Garbage. You just get fed up and tired of all this crap from blacks.I personally think RGIII is an outstanding man and person. I wish him a very successful career and a happy and wonderful life, and I thank him for the person that he is.
RG III isn´t one of ´us´ because he doesn´t get high or drunk, run around on the woman that carried his baby and then go and kill her and himself. Guess he is just a bad role model for up and coming NFL players.
I don´t like the Redskins much but my opinion of RGIII just skyrocketed! If this idiot is putting him down, he must be a good guy.
Can you imagine if Rush said this!???Oh, my......it would be all over the LSM.
Fire the ESPN analyst, a no name better gone. Throw Costas out as well. Sports is an entertainment and escape, not a game between democrats and republicans. Next, Costas will be going over insurance coverages and tax laws at halftime.
Is Parker black or green with envy ´cause RG is getting attention....
the worldwide leader in bovine fecal matter
ESPN just gave Rush a gold plated invitation to "SPANK US, PLEASE, SPANK US HARD." And he will. Can´t wait for tomorrows show.
Keepin´ it real, haterz gonna hate.
He´s an "uncle Tom" because he doesn´t live on the hate-whitey, liberal Dem plantation.
Why have we had all of this racist, racial ill will, disrespect, people mean to people stuff since Barry Obama has been president. Am I connecting the dots incorrectly or does the tone at the top matter??
Obama should get a trophy for being #1 RACIST in the country. He is set on earning street creds as such. He has set race relations back 50 years.
It´s not racism if you´re black.
#5 & 14, you are correct. That is why they had to murder Martin Luther King. He wanted everyone to get along and he was a Republican. He would never have gone along with the race baiters and leftist manipulators so they killed him. They knew that there would be no way they could get away with calling MLK an "Uncle Tom". It is obvious to me.
Report of a runaway slave must have put all the slaveholders like this ESPN thug on high alert. My favorite quarterback for the this week: RGIII. sorry Payton.
White ESPN reporter would have been fired immediately. But this racist Parker will get a raise.
God bless and keep RGIII, one of the most talented and exciting players in the NFL. Please don´t succumb to the psychological abuse and racial taunting from those determined to keep all black men on the Democrat Plantation.Rob Parker, kindly go to hell, you sorry sack of excrement.
Inane ESPN fare like "First Take" and the bloviating hosts of these shows have two purposes: generate ratings and create controversy. Add to that the progressive obsession of viewing everything through a racial prism. We should celebrate RGIII for his work ethic and commitment to excellence; his skin color, politcal views and personal life choices should be of zero interest to real sports fans. This Rob Parker character is the lowest kind of racial agitator. I´d bet RGIII views him like he´s view dog do-do on his shoe.
RGIII should sue the hell out of ESPN.
The right thing would be for ESPN to fire him, but then again it is ESPN.
When we watch on ESPN, the mute button takes over.
It´s obviously time to put this republican, white woman loving, product of a two parent home who made something of himself on his own merits Uncle Tom in his place. How dare he try to be a role model for our children, who does he think he is, a Supreme Court justice?! Anita, we have another one for you!

Risk assessment
Consumption as driver of growth
The country held up well in 2012 against the contraction of activity in the eurozone, posting the highest growth rate in the region thanks to dynamic household consumption and investment which in 2013, will continue to drive growth. The government's steps to support activity and boost employment in 2011 have proved effective: while unemployment hit 20% of the economically active population in 2010, at the end of 2012 it amounted to less than 10%. In 2013, this marked improvement will generate a renewed rise in household consumption facilitated by a real rise in salaries of 1.2%, of pensions of 1.8% and a revival in credit begun in 2012. Meanwhile, low interest rates will allow investment to remain dynamic. The revival in credit is, however, likely to be modest due to the extent of non-performing loans in the banks' portfolios (mortgages) and the very bad experiences engendered by the bursting of the property bubble in 2008-2009. GDP growth will not reach its potential (4%) due to another year of recession in Europe. Nonetheless, Estonia's neighbours and main trading partners have posted the highest growth in the region, which will allow Estonian exports to hold steady. Exports, therefore, especially capital goods, wood, textiles and chemical products will benefit from the relative good health of regional economies, namely Finland, Sweden, Russia and the Baltic countries which tap 65% of exports. Inflation stood at 4% in 2012 due to high food prices. It is expected to fall to around 3.5% in 2013 following a fall in food and oil prices. However, the total liberalisation of the electricity sector on 1 January 2013 could generate some inflationary pressure.
Sound macro-economic policy
Estonia has the lowest public debt in the eurozone (8.2% of GDP) and benefits from fiscal reserves accumulated during the boom years. In 2012, while all European Union mMember sStates were implementing austerity measures, Estonia had room to conduct an expansionary policy. The fiscal deficit remained very limited. The 2012 budget operated with a deficit above 2% of GDP in order to invest in energy saving, which will allow Estonia, in the future, to benefit from fiscal revenues based on the sale of CO2 emission rights. The government has accordingly planned to increase pensions by 5% and civil service salaries by 4.4% in 2013. These rises will result in a very low public deficit of 0.5%. Local elections in October 2013 could widen the deficit. Furthermore, the current account deficit will remain limited, as dynamic domestic demand will push imports higher than exports despite a more positive export trend than most European countries. However, foreign direct investment flows (mainly from eastern Europe) will, as in 2012, be very hard hit by European contraction and will only cover a very small portion of the current account deficit. Estonia's external debt has fallen substantially since 2009, but has been stabilizing at around 90% of GDP since 2011. The level of debt at the end of 2013 is unlikely to change. Estonian banks have capitalisation ratios above Basel III levels and also benefit from the support of their Scandinavian parent companies, which have not been affected by the eurozone crisis. Nevertheless, the extent of the mortgage portfolios and, despite falling, the high level of non-performing loans, are weakening the banking system.
A centre-right coalition under social pressure
A centre-right coalition composed of the Reform Party (ER) and the Pro-patria Union (IRL) was re-elected in March 2011. However, growing distrust of the political class has arisen since the 2009 crisis due to the government's austerity measures and the large-scale privatisations in many sectors (energy, aviation, and telecommunications). The former Prime Minister, Juhan Parts, current Minister of the Economy, had to face a vote of confidence in parliament in October 2012. With regard to international policy, the government aims to ease tensions with Russia over a territorial dispute dating back to the Second World War. Estonia counts on being able to rely on its integration within the European Union in order to influence its bilateral relations, especially with Russia.

TV Review: Tiny Planets
Pre-school programming is quite wonderful these days. Rolie Polie Olie, Blues Clues and Oswald are but a few of the superior edu-tainment shows aimed at the younger ones, ages three through six. Now joining their ranks is the delightful Tiny Planets, a co-production of the U.S.'s Sesame Workshop and the U.K.'s Pepper's Ghost Productions.
This is a series of 65 five minute episodes designed to encourage children to be explorers. The basic premise has two space creatures, Bing and Bong, sent on a simple mission which requires them, and the viewer, to think. And each episode has a small message which invites children to solve problems on their own, stimulates a sense of self-discovery and encourages greater self-confidence.
The episodes themselves are charming. Pepper's Ghost has the opportunity to create new creatures and different worlds for each situation. The visuals are simple, alien, yet totally familiar to a child's view of the world. Bing and Bong travel to each planet via a fluffy white couch -- attached by a bungee cord to their home base.
Bing is the larger, older 'Abominable snowman' character who puts much thought into every situation. The younger and smaller Bong, who looks like a snowball with pipe cleaner legs, is an impulsive ball of energy. Both communicate through actions, in pantomime, without dialogue.
The only voice we hear is from Halley, an all-knowing young female who is always on the lookout for ways Bing and Bong can help the inhabitants of the Tiny Planet Universe. That universe is made up of seven unique worlds, each created with great imagination: The Planet of Nature, Planet of Technology, Planet of Self, Planet of Light & Color, Planet of Sound, Planet of Stuff and the Home Planet.
The simple educational premises give the animators plenty to work with. In "Patterns On Parade," Bing and Bong identify color patterns and shapes -- which leads to a pageant of space creatures (called "Flockers" on this show), who go into a delightful Busby Berkeley musical number. In "Night Light Sleep Tight," Bing & Bong go camping on a small asteroid. Afraid of the dark, Bong uses the glowing locals as a natural night light -- and encourages the kids at home to brave nighttime darkness.


text: A must-see on Mardi Gras, Rex, the King of Carnival, leads this organization's all-male membership through the streets, in a parade reminiscent of the classic Carnival. The original floats, designed by Henri Schindler and the team at Kern studios, are rolling works of art. This year's theme is All Creatures Great and Small, honoring everything from the mosquito to the Sphinx. Last year, the krewe's first new signature float in many years, the Butterfly King, debuted to great acclaim, for its fanciful design and animated features. Founded in 1872, Rex (Latin for "King") is credited with many Mardi Gras innovations, including the doubloon (which celebrates its 50th anniversary), Carnival's colors (purple, green and gold), and anthem ("If Ever I Cease to Love"). In addition to the Captain and lieutenants on horseback, before the king's float, look for signature floats like the Boeuf Gras, Jester float and His Majesty's Bandwagon. The bandwagon is this year's choice for iconic float, to be featured on special cups and plush pillows. Also, riding lieutenants will hand out special Rex riding crops, a unique throw this year. The Rex web site features beautiful historic images and links to the krewe's Rex in the Classroom project, which aims to educate local students and parade goers about the parade theme. Rex toasts his Queen at the Hotel Inter-Continental and then the monarchs and their court greet their subjects at the Sheraton Hotel for their ball on Mardi Gras evening, followed by the historic Meeting of the Courts of Rex and Comus, a tradition which dates back to 1882.

Our first night in Bacolod was spent at the Grand Regal Hotel not because we planned to stay there but more to the fact that we were left without a choice after the vans at the airport going to the city have all vanished by the time we went out of the building.
We were told that the next batch wouldn't be back 'til the next scheduled flight from Manila arrived. So it was with good fortune that we saw Grand Regal's service van parked outside waiting for a passenger. We asked if we can hitch a ride and inquired about their hotel too. Their rates looked good (discounted at Php999.00 for the standard rooms), so were their rooms. We were sold; free transfer to Bacolod city plus good and affordable accommodations.
We entered their posh lobby less than an hour after leaving the airport. We filled out the necessary paperwork and proceeded to their rooms. Everything looked exactly as advertised on their pamphlets, which was excellent.
The room was sizeable, well furnished and clean. TV was with cable and working well. The lights were perfect too, complete with onboard controls near the bed. Service was very efficient, prompt and courteous.
It was almost perfect except for the view outside the window, which connected directly to a roof deck that any utility man can peep through (which of course nobody did, I was just paranoid) and the existence of a door adjacent to the bed that connects to the next room (the next guest room that is, so if you're planning any sort of hanky panky, better tone your noise down a little).
The hotel was located at Araneta Avenue, in front of the huge Gaisano mall [See Map] and some blocks away from Lacson Street. The location was okay but it was always two rides away from where the action was in Bacolod. If not for this, we would have completely stayed here instead of transferring to the easier location of Business Inn along Lacson.

A feast for the eyes and senses. Thanks Holly.
those who teach shall also learn and those who learn shall also teach - Peter Laslett
feel free to make constructive c/c...no digital alterations please
This is a water colour of the Celebration of the Queen's Jubilee. I painted it from my bedroom window. Unexpectedly when I looked at it later there was a dove, top right hand corner!
Hello and WELCOME to our challenges, Alessandra! We are a fun group to play with and I am so glad you have come out to play with us. We look forward to seeing your work.
Sarah - What a fantastically grand celebration - it's sort of a 2 for1 since the dove just "appeared". Love the colors in this and the way you've created the flow of all the primaries to dance into their own secondaries. This piece has very pleasing movement, too. Celebration, indeed!.
Holly you outdid yourself great pictures. Not only is it the 3rd Anniversay for All Media Photo Challenge here at Artist Daily but it is also my 3rd year learning from you. "Thank you all". Now which picture should I choose? Holly I would bet you working on the bird picture? Nice pictures again lots to choose from.
All C & C's always welcome
Joyce - You know me too well - - actually, I have already done the woodpecker once - but I don't like it and I think I will just do him again rather than try to rework the other one.
Sarah, you have certainly captured the essence of the celebration with all the colours of the band uniforms, and flags along with the movement of the parade. How wonderful to also capture a dove.
Sarah I can see the fireworks and all the love for the Queen including the dove.... beautiful

By Andria Cheng, MarketWatch
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Retail sales declining for a third straight month in June may signal a tough second half ahead for the industry and raise the stakes for the already crucial back-to-school season, analysts said.
On Monday, retail stocks dropped after the Commerce Department reported June sales unexpectedly declined. The data showed slowing demand at stores selling things including building materials, sporting goods, home furnishings, electronics and appliances.
Sales of online retailers, led by Amazon.com Inc. /quotes/zigman/63011/delayed/quotes/nls/amzn AMZN +0.75% , were among the few bright spots, suggesting continued share gains.
The government also revised April sales to a lower level. See related retail sales story.
"Consumer spending and confidence will not show meaningful gains until job prospects show more promise," said IHS Global Insight economist Chris Christopher in an interview, adding an accumulation of inventory will likely lead to increased promotions heading into the back-to-school season. "The back-to-school shopping season is not looking very bright."
He forecast consumer spending adjusted for inflation at a rate of an 1.1% increase in the second quarter, down from a 2.5% rate in the first quarter.
In another sign of the heightened stakes of things for retailers, the 19-store Daffy's, which counts competition from T.J. Maxx parent TJX Cos. /quotes/zigman/243683/delayed/quotes/nls/tjx TJX +0.19% and Ross Stores Inc. /quotes/zigman/77604/delayed/quotes/nls/rost ROST -0.57% , said it's decided to liquidate its stores over the next several months. See related story on Daffy's.
The government report added more evidence consumers are exercising spending caution. Earlier this month, chain stores posted their smallest June retail sales gain in three years, with shortfalls seen at retailers from Costco Wholesale Corp. /quotes/zigman/67728/delayed/quotes/nls/cost COST -1.33% and Target to Macy's and Kohl's. See retailers posting worst June sales in three years.
"The consumer is reverting back to the pattern seen since 2007: showing up to shop only when they need to," said J.P. Morgan analyst Christopher Horvers. Consumer pause in spending "should persist until the need to shop arises again in mid-August for back to school."
The S&P Retail Index fell 0.8% to 608.44. Home-improvement retailers Home Depot Inc. /quotes/zigman/229488/delayed/quotes/nls/hd HD -1.24% and Lowe's Cos. /quotes/zigman/232508/delayed/quotes/nls/low LOW -0.84% were down 1.2% and 3.4% respectively. Teen retailer Abercrombie & Fitch Co. /quotes/zigman/167627/delayed/quotes/nls/anf ANF -1.47% was down 3.2%. Electronics retailer Best Buy Co. /quotes/zigman/219712/delayed/quotes/nls/bby BBY +0.44% dipped 0.5%.
Midprice department store operator J.C. Penney Co. /quotes/zigman/237947/delayed/quotes/nls/jcp JCP +3.56% fell 2.2%, even though its drop also reflected a judge's preliminary injunction against Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, which was planning a line of home and kitchen products for Penney despite Martha Stewart's exclusive agreement with Penney's rival Macy's Inc. /quotes/zigman/467976/delayed/quotes/nls/m M -0.79%
Discounters Wal-Mart Stores Inc. /quotes/zigman/245476/delayed/quotes/nls/wmt WMT -1.09% and Target Corp. /quotes/zigman/253872/delayed/quotes/nls/tgt TGT -0.13% dipped 0.3% and 0.7% respectively.
Sluggish jobs growth, stock market volatility and European crisis dented consumer sentiment in June. Shoppers tightened their purse strings even despite a decline in gasoline prices, analysts said.
While luxury and discount retailers have fared better than midtier chains such as Penney and Kohl's Corp. /quotes/zigman/231595/delayed/quotes/nls/kss KSS -0.04% , there are also concerns that high-end consumer may be cutting back after brands from Tiffany & Co. /quotes/zigman/243577/delayed/quotes/nls/tif TIF -0.27% to Burberry Group have also reported disappointing sales. See related story on luxury spending slowing may hit Saks.
Meanwhile at the lower end, consumers showed their keen focus on price. Supermarket chain Supervalu's /quotes/zigman/242335/delayed/quotes/nls/svu SVU -1.58% stock slumped last week as its failure to cut prices more aggressively has led shoppers defecting to the likes of Wal-Mart. See story on Supervalu.
Illustrating the U.S. data on lower electronics sales, HHGregg Inc. /quotes/zigman/462162/delayed/quotes/nls/hgg HGG -1.84% lost almost two-fifths of its stock value last Wednesday after the company forecast a wider loss on an unexpected drop in sales. See related story on HHGregg.
Its larger rival Best Buy Co. /quotes/zigman/219712/delayed/quotes/nls/bby BBY +0.44% also didn't fare much better. It said earlier this month it was cutting another 2,400 jobs to lower costs. See related story on Best Buy.
Back-to-school sales are the second-biggest period of the year for the industry, so many retailers have begun promotions in earnest. Office Depot Inc. /quotes/zigman/236952/delayed/quotes/nls/odp ODP +0.19% started on Sunday its penny saver deals, including 10-cent pencil sharpeners.
Clothing chains including American Eagle Outfitters Inc. /quotes/zigman/183513/delayed/quotes/nls/aeo AEO -3.03% have also shipped some of the early back-to-school merchandise to stores.
Still, beyond planned promotions, so far retailers don't appear desperate, analysts said.
While Wal-Mart, Target and Macy's already started to feature a back-to-school section on their websites, a lot of the items in the featured section are still selling at full price, according to deal comparison site BradsDeals.
Over the weekend, American Eagle was even less promotional with shorts on sale for $24.99 and up this year, for instance, versus all shorts under $25 last year, said Lazard Capital Markets analyst Jennifer Davis.
"Retailers will increase promotional activity for" back to school, Davis told MarketWatch. "We will start to see promotional activity increase in the next week or two."

Katie Melua - Secret Symphony (HQCD)
Katie Melua's brand new album Secret Symphony CD will be released in March 2012. The Georgian-born British singer/songwriter's fifth album, Secret Symphony, is an exquisite collection of songs that perfectly showcases the unique, instantly recognizable voice. Incredibly delivered by Katie, songs in the album feature her interpretations of some of the greatest hits from different greatest songwriters including `All Over The World' (Francoise Hardy), `Gold In Them Hills' (by the great writer Ron Sexsmith), `Nobody Knows You' (Jimmie Cox) and `Moonshine' (Fran Healy).

We have a spunky cute girl with some amazing skills just waiting to please. She was all smiles with a great attitude and nice curves. She was extra sensual with her massage and went straight to the towel area on her client. She was under that towel running her hands over his cock getting him nice and hard. Then she let him know about an extra tip if he wanted the full treatment. He was all for it and took advantage of her awesome skills. You dont want to miss this hottie riding him like a true pro.
