I can't stand O'Reilly, but sadly I have to agree with him.There is no question the storm pushed everything else out of the news, and stalled Romney's upward trajectory. And, about the same time, Obama's favorables began to tick upward.After about 5 days, it looked to me as if momentum had begun to swing back to Romney. Too little, too late.Yes it's depressing to believe that "some women in Cleveland" (or however BOR put it) could be swayed by a cheap Obama/Christie photo-op. But it's reality.

Whether or not the hurricane was a factor, Christie deserves blame for sucking up to Obama on the eve of the election.

Date: August 04 2012
THE Coalition's long-awaited policy paper on foreign investment of agricultural land has been rubbished by some Liberals and cautiously welcomed by industry.
The paper proposes that regulators scrutinise foreign acquisition of agricultural land valued at $15 million or more - currently it is $244 million.
More agribusiness deals would also be in the Foreign Investment Review Board spotlight, with scrutiny when a proposed investment represents 15 per cent or more in an agribusiness valued at $244 million or exceeds $53 million.
Former Howard government minister Peter Reith attacked the policy and said on Twitter that ''pandering to populism is contrary to public interest'', while Liberal senator Bill Heffernan said he would be raising his concerns.
Other Liberal MPs welcomed the paper because, they said, it did not effectively change the current regime. One described it as a good win for leader Tony Abbott over the outspoken Nationals, saying Mr Abbott had just ''repainted the house''.
Last Saturday, former prime minister John Howard told a conference in China about the importance of foreign investment in Australia, with current leaders yesterday also careful to say they were not against it.
Victorian Farmers Federation strongly welcomed the proposals, with president Peter Tuohey saying they closely reflected VFF policy.
''They are common sense, it's a more realistic view about what's happening out there and it's addressing some of the concerns of farmers, rural businesses and Australians in general,'' he said.
''I don't know why foreign investment has to be a secret really, to me it's pretty important. And you get a lot of people saying 'well foreign investment is good', and it may be good - but if we don't know what's happening, how do we know whether it's good or bad,'' he said.
Agribusinesses said foreign investment was and continued to be crucial.
Australian Agricultural Company chief executive David Farley said there was no problem with foreign investment, saying the bigger debate should be how to attract Australian capital into agriculture.
''It [foreign investment] hasn't put us at risk in the past. This is a negotiated peace to keep the Coalition together,'' Mr Farley said.
The government seized on the paper as an example of the Nationals irresponsibly driving policy, with Treasurer Wayne Swan calling the paper ''a dog's breakfast''.
Trade Minister Craig Emerson said it would damage relationships with vital Asian markets, warning Australian farmers would be locked out.
He also said the opposition was manufacturing a problem where it didn't exist, as there had been a ''negligible'' 0.1 per cent rise in the level of foreign ownership in Australian agricultural land between 1984 and 2010 - the Coalition disputes this figure.

Chixoy Dam
For more than twenty years, communities affected by the Chixoy Dam have demanded reparations for the damages caused by the project, which was built during Guatemala's most repressive military dictatorship. The project, financed by the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank, was built on the Chixoy River in the early 1980s and forcibly displaced more than 3,500 Maya community members. More than 6,000 families living in the area also suffered loss of land and livelihoods. When community members opposed relocation and sought better compensation, they were massacred, tortured and kidnapped. For years survivors have lived in extreme poverty but never given up their call for justice.
The Chixoy Dam Legacy Issues Study finished in March of 2005 concludes that the construction of the dam signified lost of lives, lands, and people's livelihoods, and that it violated national and international laws. The study recommends the creation of a negotiations process between the government, communities and financial institutions resulting in a binding agreement.
After several attempts to install a negotiations process, on September 2006 communities and the government signed an agreement to begin a formal process to verify the damages and losses, and negotiations to address reparations. A Commission was set up comprised of representatives of the Guatemalan government, the World Bank, and the Inter-American Development Bank, and facilitated by a representative of the Organization of American States.
On April 10, 2010 after a decades-long struggle, the Reparations Plan for Damages Suffered by the Communities Affected by the Construction of the Chixoy Dam was finally signed and agreed by all parties, which involved the participation and approval of communities and the government. This is a huge victory for the communities.
The plan includes the following provisions:
• Compensation for material and non-material damages and losses will be provided to communities affected by Chixoy Dam. The total amount allocated to cover all these damages is US$154.5 million
• 191 homes will be constructed for the community of Pacux, and for orphans that were not taken into account in INDE's resettlement program; 254 homes in other communities will be repaired; there will be improvement of roads, and water and sewage systems, and other infrastructural projects considered urgent and of priority.
• The President of Guatemala will present an apology. The communities will have access to documents in the Historical Archive of the National Police related to the control by the State, and repression used against communities during the construction of the Chixoy Dam.
• There will be a management plan of the Chixoy Basin implemented that is based on integrated watershed management, which includes reforestation with native plants, establishing an ecological flow adequate for the basin, and guarantees of minimum water quantity and quality.
However, the government has refused to sign the legal agreement which would make the reparations plan binding, and ensure its completion. The World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank have also refused to take responsibility for their roles in financing the project and have not committed to financing reparations or to pressuring the Guatemalan government to comply with the reparations plan. We will continue to support COCAHICH's efforts to pressure the government to sign the binding agreement.

Washington State Not Alone in Feral Dog Pack Problems
Admit it or not, feral dogs, or feral packs, are not that unusual, nor are their pack instincts and actions. Any dog can go feral under the right set of circumstances. Humans often don't understand what those circumstances are and actually, unintentionally, push dogs into behaviors and actions that only strengthen skills needed to survive in feral situations.

LaTanya Clemmons, whose convictions for helping her cop-killer brother's getaway driver were overturned by an appeals court, won't be retried.
Clemmons' brother, Maurice, gunned down Lakewood police Sgt. Mark Renninger and officers Tina Griswold, Gregory Richards and Ronald Owens on Nov. 29, 2009, at a Parkland coffee shop. He later was killed by a Seattle police officer during a manhunt.
Pierce County prosecutors late last month dismissed with prejudice the two counts of rendering criminal assistance they originally filed against LaTanya Clemmons in December 2009. Dismissing the counts with prejudice means prosecutors cannot refile them.
The move came after the Washington State Supreme Court refused to accept an appeal filed by prosecutors after a state appellate court threw out Clemmons' convictions last year.
The state's high court issued its decision Dec. 5. Prosecutors filed the dismissal, which was signed by trial Judge Stephanie Arend, on Dec. 31.
"LaTanya is presently out of state, but she will be trying to get her life back after this sad and tragic case," attorney Helen Whitener, who represented Clemmons at trial, said this week. "It is sad that she lost everything for the actions of her mentally ill brother and other family members.
"She is still trying to get her life back and is presently unemployed when prior to this case she held three jobs."
Prosecutor Mark Lindquist expressed disappointment Wednesday in the outcome of the case.
"We believed we had a good argument and a good case to take up to the Supreme Court," Lindquist said.
In 2010, a Pierce County jury found LaTanya Clemmons guilty of helping her brother's getaway driver after the killing of the police officers. She was sentenced to five years in prison but was released in July after having served two years.
Prosecutors alleged she provided aid to Dorcus Allen, who later was convicted of driving Maurice Clemmons to and from the scene. They alleged she knew he was wanted for murder when she drove him to a Federal Way motel and gave him money to buy a bus ticket that would have taken him out of state.
Whitener argued at trial her client did not know Allen was involved in the killings at the time she helped him.
LaTanya Clemmons appealed her convictions, and, on a 2-1 vote, the Court of Appeals for Division II in June threw them out. Justices David Armstrong and Joel Penoyar ruled prosecutors hadn't proven that Clemmons specifically knew Allen was being sought as an accomplice to murder when she aided him.
"The evidence does not show that Allen ever told LaTanya or her relatives that he knew Maurice intended to kill the police officers and helped or offered help in committing the murders," the opinion stated.
Justice Christine Quinn-Brintnall dissented, saying LaTanya Clemmons did not need to know legal specifics to be guilty of rendering assistance to Allen. It was enough that she knew Allen had been with her brother the morning of the killings and that police were looking for Maurice Clemmons and anyone who might have aided him, Quinn-Brintnall said.

Top Five Reasons to Stop Animal Testing
Poisoning, shocking, burning, and killing animals is all in a day's work for vivisectors. If these atrocious acts were committed outside laboratories, they would be felonies. But animals suffer and die every day in laboratories with little or no protection from cruelty. Here are the top five reasons why it needs to stop:
- It's unethical to sentence 100 million thinking, feeling animals to life in a laboratory cage and intentionally cause them pain, loneliness, and fear.
- It's bad science. The Food and Drug Administration reports that 92 out of every 100 drugs that pass animal tests fail in humans.
- It's wasteful. Animal experiments prolong the suffering of people waiting for effective cures by misleading experimenters and squandering precious money, time, and resources that could have been spent on human-relevant research.
- It's archaic. Forward-thinking scientists have developed humane, modern, and effective non-animal research methods, including human-based microdosing, in vitro technology, human-patient simulators, and sophisticated computer modeling, that are cheaper, faster, and more accurate than animal tests.
- The world doesn't need another eyeliner, hand soap, food ingredient, drug for erectile dysfunction, or pesticide so badly that it should come at the expense of animals' lives.
For everyday ways to keep animals out of cruel experiments, see PETA's list of surprising ways to help animals in laboratories.

I'm writing an argument paper for why they shouldn't be doing animal testing. I'm hoping that people will be able to see Wht we can't do this. Only two people in my class are saying that animals should be tested on, but at least it's only two and not more. I'm also going to attempt to be a vegetarian. It's not gonna be easy. I love my chicken….
Its like killing ur own pet just for eyeliner or lipstick, we need to stop immediately
~anonymous =( stop the killing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I dont Think thats good because the Animal That they Are Testing is in Pain
I am writing a research paper on alternatives to animal tests and I am hoping that it will open people's eyes to the horrors that happen in this practice everyday. It is inhumane when there are so many options that are available and are far more accurate, as well as more cost efficient.
im writing an essay on animal testing and i completely agree with stoping it more than 100 million animals die EVERY YEAR because of this… The poor animals never asked for this!!!
I'm writing an essay on why animal testing is worng and this website has opened my eyes to reasons and points I havent even thought were relevent. I wish I could stop this horrible, murderous process but it takes more than one. Opening your eyes to all this abuse is only the first step. I hope we can all become more aware of this cruel abuse and try and stop it. *peace&love*
Loui94 – It would be extremely high hopes to assume that animal experimentation would every be completely banned anytime in the near future. However, we should strive to LIMIT and actively regulate the testing in a more humaine way. Or atleast stop testing for ourselves, because its not working, and leave it to people who actually care about animals.
I am doing animal testing as my 4th year assignment to get my national. I picked this topic because I am so deeply interested in it and so very against it. It is sickening and inhumane. Thank you, your site helped! I am sure everyone that hears your arguments in my assignment will be as against animal testing as you and I are.
I want to comment on What Loui94 said. Yes I agree with you completely, because we do still need things to be tested on. But with this new technological age, we can create something that can test products and stuff. I mean, we are advancing in technology for a reason. But that's a good point.
I've got a question. I'm doing a debate on the topic: We should ban Animal testing but, while doing some thinking I came across this: We have human trials for new drugs, animals like dogs also use need medicine and obviously this needs to be tested, so eventually it will end up been tests on animals. So if you ban every form of animal testing, how do you test you drugs for animals? Don't get me wrong I'm all for stopping animal testing but if you can't have animals trials for animal drugs what do we do? Just give these drugs to our pets and hope for the best? It would really help if someone could reply to this, I've got my debate in four days and I cant find any form of rebuttal for this argument.
No more torture animals!
I think that animal testing is disgusting and that no animal should be put through the pain and suffering of animal testing. I am doing animal testing as a persuasive essay for school as part of my 4th year and i found that your information and website has greatly helped, thank you:)
I love all animals and i think this is really cruel and i am really upset now.
Animals dont need to be torture only people who like animal testing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:O
i hate people like this they can all die i know that rats arent peoples fav animals but they still deserve to live and rats arent the only thing is cats and dogs to gosh mans best friend shure turned around i wish i could bust all those animals out and show them love not murder
WOAH. This is horrifying and sick. Imagine if you just wanted a family and instead you were sent here, socially isolated in barren cages. They DO take you out, but not to pet you. To torture you. Stimulating artificial disceases, severing legs, and burning you are just some of the things theses people do. What did the animals ever do? They didn't know what the hell they did wrong to deserve this. Save them!!!!!!!! WE are their VOICE. ~Em~
true that it's inhumane, but is there another way? It's not like we have a choice or something… instead of disagreeing, why don't we try to find another way to do this?

Moon and Company
- ‹ Previous program
- 306 of 2171
- Next program ›
The three brightest objects in the night sky put on a gaudy display in the southwest after sunset the next few evenings. All you need to enjoy the show are a clear sky and a clear horizon.
The most prominent member of the group is the Moon. It's a thin crescent right now. That means that sunlight illuminates only a tiny sliver of the lunar hemisphere that faces our way -- the crescent.
It's nighttime across the rest of the lunar disk. But the night is quite brilliant, because there's an almost full Earth in the sky. Earth is much bigger than the Moon, and it reflects more sunlight back into space. The combination makes a full Earth more than 40 times brighter than a full Moon.
It's easy to see the effect. As twilight fades, you'll see that the dark portion of the lunar disk is bathed in a ghostly light -- the light of a brilliant Earth.
And speaking of brilliant, look to the right of the Moon for the planet Venus -- the brilliant "evening star" -- and to the upper left of the Moon for the not-quite-as brilliant planet Jupiter. They far outshine all the true stars in the night sky, so there's just no missing them.
Venus and the Moon are pretty low in the sky as darkness begins to fall, so you need a clear horizon to spot them. They drop from sight a couple of hours after sunset. Jupiter follows them a couple of hours later. The Moon will move closer to Jupiter the next couple of nights; we'll have more about that tomorrow.

Just saw that, too. Pretty cool stuff.
With Traviss continuing the Legacy series and doing a book to follow up Triple Zero the language may evolve even more and hey who knows maybe enough to make a mini language book kind of like the Travel Guide which has quite a few languages in it.
I just read the Mando'a glossary. Kandosii! I didn't know there were so many words !!
Yes, and she adds more every 3 months or so, very nice stuff.
Great info--thanks for the linkage!

New! RidersRasp Trail™
The new RidersRasp Trail™ offers all the same great features as the Original RidersRasp™ but with permanent, Medium Coarse files at an economical price.
RidersRasp™ Video Gallery
Photo Gallery - See RidersRasp Trail™ in Action Click thumbnails to enlarge
RidersRasp™ is the first tool of its kind designed specifically for horse owners to sustain and support hoof balance and soundness. RidersRasp™ allows users to safely and effectively round their horse's hooves to retain and prolong balance between professional trims and improve the overall condition of a horse's hooves.
Rounding-An Important Part of Balanced Hoof Care
"Rounding the hoof wall is a fundamental step in all trimming and is crucial for maintaining hoof form and soundness," explains W.J. Tomlinson, the American Farriers Association Certified Journeyman Farrier who developed the unique RidersRasp™. Rounding encourages symmetrical growth and maintains the hoof capsule's correct balance by eliminating flares and dishes. Rounding also removes sharp edges to prevent chipping and splitting. Excessive hoof growth and uneven wear causes stress on horse's hooves and legs. Typically, rounding is done by a hoof care professional, but now you can supplement your horse's hoof care regiment with RidersRasp™ between trims for healthier hooves!
An Innovative Solution - Improve Hoof Condition
RidersRasp™ - Safe for the Horse and Horse Owner
A conventional farrier's rasp is difficult to use and best left to a professional. It needs two hands to operate, requiring the user to stand with the horse's foot between their legs, often bearing the weight of a leaning horse. Standing under the horse is not only difficult, but can be dangerous. When used by a non-professional, a conventional rasp can also remove too much hoof wall which can cause soreness, lameness and compromise the hoof's balance.
RidersRasp™ is easy to use with one hand, allowing the user to stand beside the horse without bearing the horse's weight. It also protects the user's hands from the sharp teeth of the rasp and allows them to confidently round the hoof wall, without the worry of removing the hoof wall. RidersRasp's™ ergonomic design fits all hands with a soft grip and no-slip sides.
Save Money Without Compromising Care
In the time it takes to pick up your horse's feet, you can save money. Rounding with RidersRasp™ every 2-3 weeks lengthens trimming intervals, requiring a professional trim every 7-8 weeks, rather than every 5-6 weeks, without compromising the balance and quality of the horse's foot. Fewer trimmings each year means large cost savings!
Directions for Use
1. Begin by cleaning the hoof using a hoof pick and/or brush. We recommend that the hoof be clean and dry.
2. Similar to how you hold the hoof when using a hoof pick, hold the hoof in your hand and add further support by stabilizing the horse's leg with your knee.
3. To remove flares and maintain proper hoof wall thickness, lay the bottom of the rasp flush on the outer hoof wall and push the RidersRasp™ forward. Remove less than half the hoof wall thickness.
4. To round the hoof, maintain the same position and lower the top side of the RidersRasp™. Push forward while lowering the top side to easily round the hoof.
Note: The RidersRasp™ may be used with either the large or small grip end in your palm, depending on the size of your hand.

- Asked by Kelly J from Dallas
- 11-Mar-2012
- Flag as inappropriate
AnswerThe answer listed is not correct. The aircraft voltage depends upon the aircraft. Typical are 6v, 12v and 24v. My aircraft is 12v and I will be using an adapter and giving it a test on a trip next week. You need to watch the amps, however, to ensure that you don't overload the aircraft circuit. I expect it to draw about a half amp and provide 2.1 charging amps to the iPad.

ResNet provides a wired high speed Internet connection and the DragonFly wireless network for each student living in the Residence Halls and Greek Houses.
To ensure that computers are and remain safe, computers using ResNet wired Internet connections need to be registered and scanned once per quarter. This registration process will begin automatically the first time you connect your computer to a wired Internet connection each quarter. Thankfully, the process takes less than ten minutes and most of that time is waiting for a good health report from the security scanner.
To connect your computer to the wired network, connect your Ethernet cable into the jack which is typically located in the lower left (or just the lower) position of the wire station in your bedroom or common room. Please note, not all jacks in a wire station have active service. Check the list of active network jacks to see where service is enabled.
Wireless network access exists throughout the Residence Halls and Greek Houses. See the DragonFly web site to learn how to enable wireless access for your computer.
If you need help, connecting to ResNet, please call an IRT HelpDesk consultant from your student room on 215-895-2020 select option 5, then option 1, or email email@example.com.

Bindows is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) software framework for development of rich AJAX and Web 2.0 web applications. It can generate the exact look-and-feel of a Windows GUI (Windows) on web pages.
The Bindows framework is based on Dynamic HTML and the programming language used is Application Description Files (ADF), executed at the client's end as JavaScript. When the web application is run, the scripts are downloaded from the server as XML|XML files and executed at the client's end.
The framework follows the Swing programming and JavaScript object models. Class names start with 'Bi', e.g., BiObject, BiRadioButton, etc. The name Bindows comes from a combination of Business Intelligence (BI) and windows, BI being one of the interests of the company MB Technologies, responsible in creating the framework.
Bindows applications are agnostic to:
- Server - any server (Java, .NET, PHP, etc. can be used with Bindows)
- Backend platform - Any backend hardware and backend software
- Operating system - Any operating system can be used on the client (as long as it includes a supported browser)
- Language - All languages supported. Bindows supports Unicode
- Browser - most browsers are supported (i.e., Internet Explorer 5.5 and higher, Mozilla 1.4 and higher, Netscape 7.1 and higher, Firefox, K-Meleon, and Camino)
Bindows supports the following widgets: labels, buttons, check boxes, radio buttons, text areas, menus, toolbars, statusbars, tool tips, grids, trees, sliders, spinners, progress bars, gauges, image maps and live vector graphics. Commercial ( You have to pay in order to use this software! )
Charting & Vector Graphics

- Line charts
- Columns and bars
- Pie charts
- Stacked columns and bars
- Percentage stacked columns and bars
- Gauges
- Grids
Vector Graphics
The Bindows Graphical-Links API - BiLink API enables drawing of graphical links (lines and arrows) that join elements. The properties of the links, including color, width and style, can be customized. The basic task of the API is to manage the anchoring of the link to the elements. Live sample
Complete Animation Library
Bindows animation library enables adding animations to Bindows components - thus creating visual effects like pulsating buttons, fade-ins, fade-outs, animated movement and resizes.
Section-508 Accessibility
Bindows 2.0 is now the first Ajax framework with enhanced support for section 508 accessibility compliance. Bindows 2.0 enables developers to reach all audiences effectively and efficiently by building Ajax and Web 2.0 applications that meet Government and international standards for accessibility.

Javeline PlatForm
Javeline PlatForm is a unique software development kit for building next-generation applications. With Javeline PlatForm developers can deliver applications to modern browsers on all platforms, in shorter development cycles and with more functionality. Javeline PlatForm outperforms other toolkits in two key aspects – development time and user functionality.
For coupling data to the interface, Javeline PlatForm embodies a revolutionary technology called SmartBindings. SmartBindings define how data is transformed to the user interface, including standard operations for manipulating data, but also more advanced features such as Undo and Drag & Drop. SmartBindings are defined in XML-based property sheets, greatly reducing the amount of code to be written – thus minimizing the chance of errors and speeding up the development cycle. Through SmartBindings, developers can quickly create the basic structure of their application without writing a single line of code. This means developers can economically explore multiple variations of a prototype or quick-build a complete concept application for winning a pitch. Since SmartBindings are an abstract layer between data and interface, it makes changing the data-structure or the interface a trivial affair, even at the final stages of the project. It also means developers and designers can truly work in parallel, further speeding up overall development.
Data is delivered to the application via the Open Source Javeline TelePort layer, making Javeline PlatForm applications agnostic of back-end technology. Javeline TelePort takes care of the communication between the client and the server. It automatically handles errors, time-outs and retry. TelePort features an advanced polling interface for controlling reconnecting and polling frequency. Javeline TelePort supports all major protocols for web services and the Javeline-specific protocols HTTP-Socket and Javeline PHP Protocol. Since Javeline has released TelePort under the Open Source GPL license, adding support for other protocols is easy.
Javeline PlatForm can be extended with various components available from Javeline, such as DeskRun™ and MediaFlow™. DeskRun delivers a FrameWork application to the Windows desktop from the exact same code base. MediaFlow allows extensive manipulation of media, for instance the realtime subtitling of video-streams.
Javeline® PlatForm Suite includes the following tools and libraries:
- Javeline PlatForm Libraries:
- Javeline Core Library
- Javeline Component Library
- Javeline TelePort Library
- Manual and reference guide
- Documented and Commented Example Code and Demos
- Windows 2000 and Perspex Skin set

qooxdoo (LGPL/EPL open-source, since 2005)
qooxdoo is one of the most comprehensive and innovative Open Source (EPL/LGPL) multipurpose AJAX frameworks. It includes support for professional JavaScript development, a state-of-the-art GUI toolkit and high-level client-server communication.
GUI Toolkit
Despite being a pure JavaScript framework, qooxdoo is quite on par with GUI toolkits like Qt or SWT when it comes to advanced yet easy to implement user interfaces. It offers a full-blown set of widgets that are hardly distinguishable from elements of native desktop applications. Full built-in support for keyboard navigation, focus and tab handling and drag & drop is provided. Dimensions can be specified as static, auto-sizing, stretching, percentage, weighted flex or min/max or even as combinations of those. All widgets are based on powerful and flexible layout managers which are a key to many of the advanced layout capabilities. Interface description is done programmatically in JavaScript for maximum performance.
No HTML has to be used and augmented to define the interface. The qooxdoo user does not even have to know CSS to style the interface. Clean and easy-to-configure themes for appearance, colors or icons allow for a full-fledged styling that even supports runtime switching.
While being a client-side and server-agnostic solution, the qooxdoo project does include complete implementations of RPC servers (currently Java, PHP, Perl) to demonstrate some of its advanced client-server communcation. An abstract transport layer supports queues, timeouts and implementations via XMLHttpRequest, Iframes and Scripts. Like the rest of qooxdoo it fully supports event-based programming which greatly simplifies asynchronous communication.
