Since I'm allergic to milk, I use this Soy milk. This is the best source of soy protein. I'm so surprise with big jar when I receive my order. Best value for money. it's easily disolved in water, much better than any other brands I have tried. The flavor when mixed with other liquid and food. Like the non-GMO and hypoallergenic!! Recommend to friends ** For new customers of iHerb, please also visit my page formore product reviews **
Great, except for high sodium content

I had been spending $75 /month on a proprietary soy product not carried by iHerb. That product had guaranteed isoflavone content, mixed well, and came in vanilla and chocolate. When I had to cut costs, I looked at all the soy powders on iHerb, evaluating for isoflavone content. Jarrow Iso-rich Soy had the highest level of isoflavones, at an advertised 56 mg isoflavones per serving. I've used it for 6 or 8 months, and like the way it mixes, and its unassuming taste. Unfortunately, in the unthinking way most of us do, I did not check the sodium level. A serving has 370 mg of sodium. Since I typically use 1.5 servings in my morning shake, that's 555 mg of sodium, or more than a third of the recommended 1500 mg/day. From MSNBC.com dateline June 15, 2010, here are the numbers for dietary sodium intake proposed by an FDA appointed panel: That recommendation [of the panel] follows that of the prestigious Institute of Medicine, which said earlier this year that people need just 1,500 mg daily for good health, less if they're over 50. Average consumption is more than 3,400 mg. I will go to the extra expense of adding Genesis Today Protein 100 (TM) to my morning shake, and cutting my Jarrow Iso-rich Soy use in half.
Good taste and well disolved

Jarrow Soy Protein is great because it's an all-vegetable source protein powder with no extra junk in it. It's economically priced, and it does work like any other protein. Soy is a long-term absorption protein, and this works well for that purpose. I trained for 4 months ONLY with this product, and I kept the muscle that I was putting on. Now, I use Jarrow whey as well, because whey is a great short-term (and therefore fast) absorbing protein.

Well, this is the product you can call "best value for money" since it has big amount of protein (50%) per serving, and really low price to get it. But it has 2 flaws. It tastes like fish food. I have been taking it without sweeteners or smoothies, just shaked in plain water, and it tastes really bad. And it has big amount of sodium. But! the price says it all! Suit yourself!

12 April 2000
Five field teams of apiarists led by Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry authorised personnel were out in South Auckland today inspecting beehives for the honey bee mite, Varroa jacobsoni.
A field operations headquarters was made operational. Policies have been developed to ensure that such a large-scale survey proceeds in a coordinated manner, with high priority tasks attended to at the earliest opportunity.
The survey got underway within the proposed controlled area, which was put in place last night by the Ministry, after the Varroa mite's presence was found on three beehives on a South Auckland property on Tuesday. Three other inspected properties also showed signs of infestation.
All the suspected infected premises were non-commercial operations with small numbers of hives, totalling 14, within a 10-km distance from each other. Eight of these hives were dead, with others showing low populations and other typical symptoms of Varroa mite infestation. Two hives on the first property identified were immediately destroyed by the owner.
The pattern on these properties suggests that natural dispersal through bee movements (abandoning and robbing of crashed hives) is the likely means of dissemination. Tracing forwards and backwards from these premises, in particular identifying high-risk movements such as bees, hives and equipment, is taking place.
MAF and the National Beekeepers Association (NBA) are working together to determine how far the mite has spread and options for control. The survey is to be undertaken within the controlled area. High priority has been assigned to visiting and inspecting beehives in the area immediately surrounding the infected premises, in particular commercial premises; the outer perimeter of the controlled area; and high risk traces from infected premises. Reports in response to a MAF request that beekeepers nationally inspect hives looking for signs of Varroa infestation will also be investigated.
At this stage it is unknown how the mite arrived in New Zealand. The evidence suggests it may have been present and undetected for up to five years. Spread is commonly by live bees, and there have been no live bee imports permitted into New Zealand for at least 40 years to protect our bee health status. The mite spreads by natural means very slowly, at a rate of 5 km a year. When first affected, hives have low numbers of mites that are not easily seen. Numbers build up over several years until the hive dies.
Exports of live bees out of New Zealand have stopped, even though some of our major markets of bee products (Canada, Korea and Europe) have Varroa present. Because of this, bee exports are not expected to be halted for long. New Zealand has a large live bee export market with 17, 500 packages of 1kg of bees exported to Canada and Europe in 1999. All bee exports usually go through Auckland International Airport and special requirements, which met OIE specifications will be required, for the export certification of the products.
Once MAF is aware of how far the mite has spread within the controlled area, the Ministry will be looking to reopen exports.
MAF is establishing a controlled area under the Biosecurity Act 1993, in order to impose movement controls on things that could cause the spread of the mite.
The things that MAF is controlling the movement of are:
There are two levels of control that will apply.
The highest level of control applies to Rodney District, North Shore City, Waitakere City, Auckland City, Manukau City, Papakura District, Franklin District, Waikato District, Hamilton City, and Hauraki District. The controlled items may not be moved into, within, or from these areas without the permission of an officer under the Biosecurity Act 1993.
The lower level of control applies to the rest of the North Island, and any other parts of New Zealand other than the South Island. The controlled items may not be moved from these areas to the South Island without the permission of an officer under the Biosecurity Act 1993.
Any person who wishes to obtain permission to move one of the controlled items should phone (09) 256-9395.
The controlled area will remain in force until the survey has determined the mite's distribution. There will be further controls on movements of these items from the North to South Islands.
For any concerns telephone the MAF Exotic Disease Hotline at 0800 809 966
Varroa jacobsoni is a small, reddish-brown oval mite 1-2 mm long, which is found on the outside of adult honey bees. It can be seen with the naked eye if bees are examined carefully. It is also visible on honey bee pupae, and appears as a dark reddish-brown dot. It is most commonly found on drone pupae. The mite does not affect humans, and has no known host other than the honey bee.
The mite originated in eastern Asia and spread into Europe via Russia. Since the 1980s it has been carried into most other beekeeping regions of the world, killing thousands of colonies. Until now New Zealand and Australia have been considered the only major beekeeping countries free of the mite.
The mite lives by feeding on bee pupae. Infected pupae fail to survive, or may be born with deformed wings. Eventually, the mite population increases to a point where all the bees in the beehive die. This can take up to three years from the original infestation.
The mite spreads naturally from hive to hive by bee contact. However, the rapid spread of the mite worldwide is due to human activities. Modern beekeepers shift their hives long distances to pollinate crops, or gather honey. This enabled the Varroa mite to spread over the whole North American continent within five years of being introduced. Some European countries, which have strictly controlled the movement of bees, have managed to greatly slow the spread of Varroa. Another means of spread is the international trade in live bees. Queen bees are shipped worldwide, and are believed to be responsible for the spread of the mite from Europe to both North and South America.
New Zealand has prohibited the import of live bees for the last 40 years to protect our bee health status. This has led to New Zealand becoming a major exporter of live bees and queens to the Northern Hemisphere. This annual $1.8 million trade is threatened by the discovery of the Varroa mite.
Information on the Varroa mite can be accessed off the MAF website homepage at www.maf.govt.nz

Teen who had potentially deadly staph infection back home
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- A Green Bay teen who had a potentially deadly staph infection is back home after nearly two months in the hospital.
13-year-old DaVonte King landed at Children's Hospital in metro Milwaukee after he got sick following football practice October 1st.
DaVonte had a bacterial infection known as MRSA and was on life support. In order to save him, surgeons had to amputate his left leg.
His Allouez football team, the Buccaneers, rallied around him.
DaVonte thought his dreams of life in the NFL were over. Then he got a visit from a man who had one of his legs amputated and told DaVonte he could still do whatever he wanted.
DaVonte came home in time for Thanksgiving. And, once his leg heals, he'll have a prosthesis.
He says his dreams for the NFL are still alive, with many options possible, including coaching.

When you live in Los Angeles, the last thing you want to do is spend more time driving. So when Angelinos go on vacation, they fly to get there as fast as they can. The idea of a road trip has become as old school as Route 66, an unfair conclusion, really, because a well-planned road trip is the kind of experience where getting there is the best part.
I rediscovered the joys of road tripping this summer on a scenic highway adventure through the state of Utah. Why Utah? It's only about a six-hour drive from Los Angeles and it has an abundance of state and national parks to explore, each showcasing a unique, soul-healing beauty.
I only had six days for my round trip from Los Angeles, so I focused on the national parks that Utah calls the Mighty Five — Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands and Arches — geological treasures that line up conveniently along a fascinating network of scenic byways, two-lane highways that provide panoramas you won't find when you travel on the interstate.
All five parks provide ample opportunities for intimacy with nature. In fact, Utah is so blessed with natural wonders that not only the parks, but also the views as you drive from one to the other, will leave you gasping in wonder, incredulous that millions of years of wind and water could be solely responsible for creating such a glorious masterpiece.
Sound intriguing? No time to plan your own Utah road trip? No worries. I've got it all mapped out for you. Get your GPS, a paper map (you won't always be able to get a satellite signal), gas up the car, pack up your comfortable clothes, your iPod, your camera, your hiking shoes and go!
First Night – Kanab, Utah
The hardest part of the drive to Utah is the flat, boring four- to five-hour stretch between L.A. and Las Vegas. But good things come to those who wait, so jump on Interstate 15, turn on some tunes, dip into a cooler packed with cold drinks and snacks and resolve to carry on, knowing that by early afternoon you'll have reached St. George, Utah, where you can ditch the interstate and begin your real road trip.
I spent the first night in Kanab, a little town of 4,300 that's about a 90-minute drive from St. George on Highway 389, a road that dips down into Arizona past the infamous polygamous compounds near Colorado City that were home to a fundamentalist sect that broke off from the Mormon Church a hundred years ago. The road then meanders through the Kaibab-Paiute Indian Reservation and back up into Utah to Kanab, about 5 miles from the state border.
The landscape surrounding the town made Kanab County a perfect backdrop for Hollywood Westerns and generated lots of motels because of the influx of film crews over the years. Of the many places still operating, I picked the Quail Park Lodge, a mid-century modern motel that has been lovingly restored by the owners. It's a popular place, evidenced by a full parking lot.
If you follow my schedule you'll arrive with plenty of time to stroll through town to find a restaurant for dinner, visit the Little Hollywood Museum and, for some exercise, take one of the complimentary bicycles that lean—unchained — against the lobby wall at the Quail Park for a sunset ride. The townspeople wave and smile when you pedal by and you'll begin to wonder why you wanted to live in L.A. in the first place.
Best Friends Animal Sanctuary and Zion National Park
My day started with a morning tour of the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, just five miles north of Kanab on Highway 89. The sanctuary provides shelter for 1,700 companion animals — primarily dogs and cats, but not only — awaiting their forever home.
Located on 3,700 acres of green grass meadows framed with red rock cliffs, the sanctuary offers free guided tours, volunteer opportunities and animal-care classes. You can also stay overnight at one of their guest cabins. I completed my tour with lunch at their dining room, where I had the pleasure of dining with Best Friends leadership and other animal lovers while enjoying a stunning view of Angel Canyon.
Then it was time to get back on the road for Zion National Park, 20 minutes east of Best Friends. To get there, take Highway 89 to Highway 9 and enter the park at the East Entrance. The admission fee is $25 per car and is valid for seven days.
Zion was the first of my Mighty Five and mighty indeed it is with sheer vertical rock cliffs in a kaleidoscope of reds, browns and white, dizzying perspectives and a new wonder to behold everywhere you look. Much of the park is accessible only by shuttle bus, so I drove through the park and into the little town of Springdale, which lies on its edge, and checked into the Hampton Inn & Suites before exploring further.
The shuttle bus that takes you deep into the park leaves from the Visitor Center. Hop on and go to the end point at Temple of Sinawava — or get out anywhere along the way to admire the majesty of the view or enjoy one of the many hiking trails like the one I took to the Emerald Pools.
All that hiking sparks an appetite that can be assuaged with fajitas and a mango margarita on the front patio of Casas De Amigos, just outside the park in Springdale where you can marvel at your day's adventures and feel the magic of Zion seep into your city-worn soul.

Microsoft Technology Associate (MTA) CertificationBy Kasia Lorenc
Earlier this month, the Microsoft Learning team announced a new entry level certification, the Microsoft Technology Associate Certification. Designed specifically for students aspiring to become IT professionals and developers, the MTA certifications are based on 80 percent knowledge and 20 percent skills.
The MTA is only available at licensed academic institutions. Schools can purchase an MTA Campus License or MTA vouchers and integrate the MTA into their curricula.
As Microsoft Learning points out, the MTA certifications have two goals. One of them is helping schools "teach and validate fundamental technology knowledge" at the same time allowing students to earn Microsoft certifications in their courses. The other is helping students "gain the confidence they need to succeed in advanced studies" and providing a solid foundation for their careers.
The Microsoft Technology Associate Certification Paths
Although the MTA will not be a requirement for any other certification, it is now the recommended first step in the Microsoft certification program for students.
Here is the current list of the Microsoft Technology Associate Certification exams:
MTA IT Professional Exams:
- Networking Fundamentals Exam 98-366
- Security Fundamentals Exam 98-367
- Windows Server Administration Fundamentals Exam 98-365
MTA Developer Exams
- Software Development Fundamentals Exam 98-361
- Windows Development Fundamentals Exam 98-362
- Web Development Fundamentals Exam 98-363
- Database Administration Fundamentals Exam 98-364
And here is a diagram of how the MTA certifications map to specific certification paths (click on the image to enlarge):
More on the MTA Certifications

What Do You Think About the New MTA Certifications?
We'd like to hear your thoughts on the new MTA certifications.
Do you think that this new certification lineup will fill the gap of the truly entry level Microsoft certification? Or are the MCTS certifications easy and entry level enough?

Question: Whatever happened to the One Stop Shop?
Answer: It's open and operating well, said store owner and manager Moe Saleh.
Westside residents and people from around the city marched and held meetings to bring attention to the need for a grocery store in the Westside.
Then in October 2012, nearly two years after the first communitywide march for a grocery was scheduled in December 2010, the One Stop Shop opened.
It is the only grocery store in the community of nearly 3,000 residents.
Dollar General, the store that provided groceries for the Westside for more than a decade, closed in fall 2010.
"Our community needs this. We need a lot more than just a store in this area," said Joyce Hardwick, president of the Westside Community Association who volunteers at the One Stop Shop.
Without the grocery, the only option several elderly and disabled residents had was to ride in wheelchairs while others walked near the interstate to Buehler's Food Market about 1.5 miles away. It's not easy maneuvering through traffic in a wheelchair while holding bags of groceries, residents said.
Since opening, the One Stop Shop has started accepting food stamps. It also added a hair supply area. It's still working on getting a butcher and a produce area, Hardwick said.
The problem is finding a grocery supplier that will service a small area at affordable prices, Saleh said.

text: Miss. Offen,these insights on the status of women's history in the 20th century are quite interesting and helpful.As we ( Students from Miss Pernelle's Women in History class) have learnt from our discussions and texts, is that the question of womens history has been been there prior to the 20th century but its affects and challenges have been quite diverse and complexed. Having studied brief texts from the 18th to 20th century we also see that not all women shared the same experiences, that is they all did not struggle. We often keep referring to Gisela Bock's text "Women's history and gender history" for our basic understanding on how history in general has always been male specific, and that one has to recognize that womens history should become part of this general history. We cannot possibly study women's and men history without the other because they are all linked in social, cultural, political realities. In order to have a better understanding of these relations we need to consider how different times required different measures to achieve womens rights as mentioned by you through the earlier quotes.

Staffs Police face data protection probe over 'drink drivers named' Twitter campaign
Re: drink driver nonsense
The local bird cage liner in Napa Valley publishes the list of CONVICTED drunk drivers, after their trial... they don't publish the list of people stopped for DUI, although some who were arrested after an accident caused by their DUI may have their names in the paper as "arrested" along with a list of the various charges. Nowadays, those charges will include "child endangerment" if there were any children in the car, so the local plod are going for maximum punishment/embarassment.
The bird cage liner publishes their list the first Monday of every month... and the list usually has 80-100 names, including their city/country of residence. Because Napa Valley is well known for wines, generally a quarter of the ones named are from outside the area. Hispanic males make up 40-50% of the list every month.
Tesla is on fire! Model S car sales are red hot – just like their chargers (yow)
Re: More rushed to market nightmares
The three Tesla fires were caused by metal debris on the road punching through the bottom of battery case.
But then fuel tanks have been known to explode, too... the one that comes immediately to mind is the early model Ford Pintos...
I'm not sure if there are any in other parts of the country, but several limousine companies in the SF Bay Area are using Tesla Model S in daily limousine service, mostly for airport transfers and wine tours. If they're good for 260 miles, that would be two round trips from Napa to SFO without recharging, although the tail end of the second run could be a problem.
El Reg's contraptions confessional no.5: The Sinclair Sovereign
Don't know if this really falls in the same category, but I had the dubious pleasure of working with a bunch of Canon TX-10 Programmable Calculators... These beasts were large, contained two cartridges, one for the program, and one for the data. The window clerks had the same machines with a different program cartridge, for daily activity on the USPS retail window; mine was the consolidation program which transferred the data from the window clerk data cartridges and consolidated it to an office total for the business day. They were prone to crashing, so I had to have at least three program cartridges for each machine, and a half dozen data cartridges for each machine. I could reset the data cartridges, but the program cartridges had to be "repaired" (reprogrammed) by Canon, and had to be mailed to San Diego by Express Mail and returned by EXM as well... Major headaches, but when we got them, they were state of the art for USPS... Now USPS is using computers that are 15 years out of date, 386, running Windows NT4.0.... and apparently no plans to replace them... Can't get the Postal Inspection Service to approve new hardware and programs. I helped set up those black boxes when we installed them in the office, and had to keep them running until I retired... Just about any problems except swapping printers, I could only call the help desk because they were locked down like Fort Knox... Just waiting for the day those old 386 boxes start crashing and they can't get parts for them.
'Don't hate on me for my job!' Googlers caught up in SF rent protest ruckus
Re: A couple of root issues
@Tom Maddox... "Unfortunately, San Francisco is so awash in NIMBYs that actually getting new housing or infrastructure put in to offset the growth in demand is a nightmarish process of permitting and hearings which usually takes several years to resolve and which can easily be blocked by anyone who cares to raise a ruckus."
It's not that San Francisco is so awash in NIMBYs as it is that there is almost no place to build a house or apartment building without tearing another one down. The number of vacant lots in San Francisco is on the order of 1/10 of 1%... In many neighborhoods, houses are literally cheek by jowl, with not even enough space between the houses to lay a coat of paint, IF there was room to get the paintbrush in between the houses... Many have no front yards, small back yards, and 3-4 stories. Of course, if you can afford a house in Pacific Heights, houses all have nice yards, with side yards, but price tags upwards of $1,000,000 for many of them.
Even so, it can still take 6-24 months to get the required permits and then finding a contractor who won't put you in the poorhouse just to give you an estimate... and take your two first born children as a down payment.

Nissan promises to sell self-driving cars by 2020
Re: @ Paul J Turner (was: The sanity test will begin-)
Doesn't matter if the car swerves itself or the blockhead behind the wheel swerves it... the end result will still be the same. At least when there's a driver, IF he remembers what he's been told about having a deer in front of him, he WON'T swerve, and just run down Bambi... Swerving hard WILL cause the car to roll... hitting the deer, even at speed, might not, just destroy the front end of the car. When I hit that little whitetail deer at 60 MPH, I didn't have time to swerve, and just hit it square, and did $7,000 damage to the car... but my wife and I walked away with no injuries. One of the pick 'em up trucks that refused to stop to help us managed to load up his freezer out of season.

The Electoral College only "chooses" the President and Vice President, not any of the Congressional (NON)representatives in either the House or the Senate. And the Electoral College doesn't necessarily represent the "will of the people" casting votes for President. Each state sets their own rules for their Electoral College representatives, and those representatives don't necessarily have to cast their EC vote according to the voters who chose them... all the more reason to eliminate the EC.
The EC and politics in general are a failure in the USofA.

Hunt: I'll barcode sick Brits and rip up NHS's paper prescriptions
I belong to the largest HMO in the US, Kaiser Permanente, that has, with its various branches, about nine million members. A couple of years ago, Kaiser developed an integrated record keeping, prescription ordering, etc., etc. system that has been working well for some time. When I see my doctor, he updates my record on line, places an order for any prescriptions, orders any tests or lab work needed, all while I'm in the examining room. By the time I walk over to the pharmacy, my prescription is ready. I can go to the lab without carrying any paperwork for the ordered tests, and the info is in the computer. I haven't heard any of the staff complaining about problems with the computer system, and the only complain I have is when I need to renew a prescription, and do it on line, it takes up to ten days for the prescription to be mailed from a central mega-pharmacy. But that was the case before they had the computer system for everything...

Virgin Media: SO SORRY we fined your dead dad £10 for unpaid bill
Re: Way over the top
California has a similar law, and I would guess that most states have something along that line. When my MIL passed, she had very few bills, and we had enough cash from her accounts to pay them off. The only bill we got as a result of the legal notice was a bill from Medi-Cal, for care my FIL had received some years previously. It had been "suspended" until Mom passed, then we got hit for $11,000 from Medi-Cal... Got a far bigger bill from our attorney fighting my wife's neices, who were determined to break Mom's wills (two of them) to get half the estate. The two wills left everything to my wife, and didn't mention the neices at all... Trouble was, Mom didn't have a lawyer write either of the wills (one was on the State Bar statutory will form, the other was handwritten, which is legal in California). Cost us over $20,000 in legal fees, which we got back later from the estate, and we're no longer talking to the b**ch neices...
Re: When my mother died
However, if the estate has no assets, the bills have to be written off because, at least in California, creditors cannot go after the heirs to collect... They're simply SOL...

Of course, they may not upgrade it for 3-5 years, until the next rollout of computer systems which will be even more locked down than the current ones.
Civilization peaks: BEER-dispensing arcade game created
@Rampant Spaniel...
You just have to know where to look to find decent wine in the US... Start you tour in little ol' Napa Valley. Napa Valley has over 400 wineries, some very small to some VERY LARGE... Small ones tend to be the better wines, but even the big boys have some decent fermented grape juice. And do they love to experiment... whether with grapes or specific vineyards, or blending a wine with some small doses of different varietals to produce some fantastic wines. Some are available ONLY at the winery, some are available ONLY by mail order. Some, like Silver Oak Cellars, sell out at the release party, and they only have enough left to sample and sell at the winery, and if you're lucky, you can find their releases at a few high-end purveyors, or maybe your favorite restaurant, like The French Laundry. One of the hardest to get is Screaming Eagle... They offer no tours or tastings at the winery (it's not even listed in the phone book, and only a few lucky limousine drivers know where the winery is located)... the only way you can get Screaming Eagle is by mail order, IF you're on the mailing list, and there's a LONG waiting list to get on the mailing list... of course they also sell out every year, and I have never been able to get a bottle, even a $800 (or more) each.
Paris, 'cause if I had her money, I could afford to get a bottle of Screaming Eagle, or maybe Michael Mondavi's Spellbound, at about $40 a bottle.

Most US producers of the wine formerly called Champagne now abide by the EU regulations, and call their version of bubbly Sparkling Wine or California Champagne (less common) There are still a few who were producing bubbly before the agreement was adopted by the US and who still use Champagne. Of course, if the company producing bubbly in the US is owned by a French Champagne producer, they do not use the term Champagne on their product, per orders from HQ.

And you've hit on the very reason I don't feel compelled to buy an ebook ... If I have to pay as much, or more, for a digital book, I'll just stick with the dead tree version. At least with a dead tree version, I can read while the airplane is taking off or landing without being told to shut down my paper device.

Anonymous hacks Westboro Baptists over Sandy Hook protests
Re: What I wish would happen to WBC
There was an incident a couple of years ago where all four tires on a WBC van were slashed while they were spewing their hate (in Oklahoma, I think)... When they were ready to leave, they couldn't because of the slashed tires, and every independent tire shop in the town refused to sell them even one tire. They finally had to have the van towed to a nearby city where they bought the tires at a chain store tire center... They had to wait for a break in the line of cars wanting service before they could get their tires... several more hours. The chain store tire center manager said he would have refused them service too, but the store manager gave him a direct order.

Associated Press
ISLAMABAD (AP) -- Suspected Islamic militants killed at least 160 people during the new Pakistani government's first month in office, fueling concern that the country's leaders lack a coherent strategy to fight the pervasive problem of violent extremism.
The ruling Pakistan Muslim League-N party scored a resounding victory in national elections in May with a platform that promoted peace talks as the best way to quell a domestic Taliban insurgency that has killed thousands of people. The plan quickly fell apart after the Taliban withdrew their offer to talk in response to a U.S. drone strike that killed the group's deputy leader at the end of May.
The government has yet to articulate an alternate strategy, and in the meantime, the attacks keep coming.
"The government is completely confused over the terrorism problem," said Zahid Hussain, whose books plot the rise of militancy in Pakistan. "The government's indecisiveness and dithering has emboldened the militants."
At least 160 people were killed in suspected militant attacks in June, according to an Associated Press count. It was the second most deaths in a month this year, following April, when there were many attacks related to the election, said Mohammed Amir Rana, head of the Islamabad-based Pakistan Institute for Peace Studies.
Hussain and other analysts said the government failed to respond aggressively enough to the attacks over the last month. The government mostly relied on routine press releases that criticized the violence and expressed sorrow for the dead, but made no mention of who carried them out or how they would respond.
The government has taken a few public steps to show it is dealing with the attacks, which included the killing of international tourists at a scenic mountain, a suicide bombing of women university students and an attack on a funeral that killed a lawmaker.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif flew to Quetta, the capital of southwest Baluchistan province, an area where minority Shiite Muslims have been repeatedly killed by radical Sunni extremists. He brought senior security officials with him, including the head of the powerful Inter-Services Intelligence agency.
"We will give full our attention to bring an end to the lawlessness, whether it is in Quetta and Baluchistan or other parts of the country," Sharif told reporters during his trip.
Last month, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan also traveled to Quetta following an attack there that left 24 people dead. Khan reiterated the country's support for talks with militants, although he did say that those who refuse to renounce violence will be dealt with "through other means."
Sharif has announced that he plans to hold a high-level meeting with political party leaders on July 12 to discuss a national strategy to curb militancy.
Analysts said Sharif's trip to Quetta was a good step, but it's the follow-through that matters. They warned that the government's attempts to form a consensus will likely founder. Islamist parties will likely blame the problem of militancy on CIA drone strikes and the U.S.-led war in neighboring Afghanistan, and no action will be taken, said Talat Masood, a retired Pakistani army general and defense analyst.
"There's no point in them repeating the same thing that has been said that 'We will get everyone together and then formulate a policy.' The people have voted," he said. "That's fine if you want to take along as many political parties, but essentially the responsibility is yours."
Interior Ministry spokesman Omar Hameed Khan defended the government, saying officials were committed to coming up with a national security strategy within three or four months in consultation with all stakeholders, including the military.
To be fair, the government has had its hands full dealing with an issue that is arguably more important than militancy for most Pakistanis -- fixing the country's crippling electricity shortages. That was the issue that propelled the new government to victory, even more so than its promise to negotiate an end to militant attacks, and failure to quickly turn the lights back on could translate into a short term for the new government.
The government has also negotiated a bailout from the International Monetary Fund and presented a new budget to parliament.
Critics say even with those other concerns, the government should take a stronger line on militancy.
"Even if they are devoted to other issues, terrorism is still the most serious issue because it undermines the credibility of the state and shatters the confidence of ordinary people in the capacity of the state to protect them," said Hasan Askari Rizvi, a Pakistani political analyst.

For once, looking bad was good.
The Diabetes Association of St. Joseph County hosted the "Bad Pants Open" at South Bend Country Club today. Nearly $40,000 was raised. All the money will stay in St. Joseph County to help those with diabetes.
The theme of the day was to wear the worst-looking pants possible. Many golfers came up with some great "outfits." Some searched for pants for weeks, others borrowed a pair.
"It felt a little weird at first," says Ryan Massengill, who borrowed his pants from his brother-in-law. "But once I saw some of the other pants, mine actually looked alright compared to those."
23-year-old Steven Jarrett started the day off wearing some hideous looking pants. But by hole number 4, his "pants" turned into "shorts." The heat got to Jarrett so much that he took a pair of scissors and cut down the pants. It certainly made them look worse...or better, depending on how you look at it.
One man even wore his wife's pajamas. He said they were pretty comfortable and improved his golf game.
"I have to thank my wife Courtney for them," Shannon Hyduk said. "She said 'these will go well for tomorrow'. I took them and its flying and we're excited about it."
"It's a great opportunity to support [diabetes]," Hyduk continued. "I know people with diabetes. It's good to try and find a cure for it and get the money out there to help them."

Almost 40% of audience who watched the premiere of "Anger Management" apparently did not return for its second week. The new sitcom starring Charlie Sheen saw a significant drop in ratings on Thursday, July 5 with 3.4 million total viewers, after it posted the record-breaking 5.7 million viewers last week.
In the coveted 18-49 demographic, the latest outing drew 1.7 million viewers. It's down 35% from the series premiere which lured in 2.89 million adults. Still, the ratings are considerably solid for an FX comedy series.
If the show reaches a certain ratings threshold by the end of its 10-episode run, the cable channel will automatically order 90 more episodes. However, the ratings of last week's premiere are not counted for this consideration.

Men's Soccer Announces 2012 Schedule
Thursday, July 26, 2012
Full Schedule
Arlington, Va. – Marymount University's men's soccer team released its 2012 schedule, as announced by head coach Keith Moser on Thursday. The Saints begin play at their new home field at Long Bridge Park during the upcoming campaign.
Marymount kicks off the season with its traditional road tournaments to face a slew of in-state foes in back-to-back weekends. The Saints open against Eastern Mennonite and Hampden-Sydney at the Mary Washington Classic in Fredericksburg, Va., before taking on Virginia Wesleyan and Shenandoah a week later at the Marlin Classic in Virginia Beach.
In its first contest at Long Bridge Park, the Saints open Capital Athletic Conference play against St. Mary's on September 15. The Saints also host a pair of rivals in Catholic and Mary Washington to Long Bridge to close out September, the latter as part of a Homecoming doubleheader with the women's team.
Key non-conference matches include a four game road trek that pits the Blue and White against Southern Virginia, Methodist and Chowan. The Saints wrap up non-conference play against Gettysburg at home on October 17.
Marymount went 4-10-3 overall in 2011 and returns 12 letterwinners from last season.

We want to first start out by saying... we missed you guys SO much!! It's been a long time we know, but we do have an excuse!! We both just moved into new homes and you know how that can be... moving ugh!!!! Well, we just wanted to say sorry for the lack there of recipes but, we are SO excited to be BACK!! Get ready because we have a bunch of yummy summer go-to's that we will be sharing with you soon and to start out here are our Green Machine Meatballs!
So, as you know we always mix a TON of veggies in everything, but our new thing is to go half and half! Why not? Especially if you can't tell a difference in taste ;) We have a few delish combos of this recipe including half blended spinach, however the recipe we're sharing today involves peas (organic, of course)...
Can we just say these balls were absolutely delicious!!! Honestly, the hubs didn't have any idea that they were half meat and half veggies. Not only were these amazing, but involved only 5 ingredients... Perfecto!
We started off by blending up a bag of defrosted frozen peas in the all mighty food processor with a little water to lighten it up. We then mixed the peas with organic ground turkey, parmesan cheese, red onion, garlic, wheat panko and freshly ground pepper. PRESTO, that's it!
We baked these to perfection and served them over spaghetti squash topped with a light blend of garlic and olive oil. These are definitely worth trying and remember you can substitute any veggie of your choice!! Enjoy our green machine balls all!!

text: The Dumb, The Misled, and Sarah Seltzer by Lawrence Meyers 18 Nov 2010 post a comment Share This: Meet Sarah Seltzer. She's one of the great untold stories of the internet -- that invention that allows everyone to have a voice whether they make good use of it or not. And, regrettably, she does not. To wit, her essay on Alternet.org ("16 of the Dumbest Things Americans Believe - And the Right-Wing Lies Behind Them") where she writes: "Americans are often misinformed, occasionally downright dumb, and easily misled by juicy-sounding rumors." Of course, it is only the "right wing…that takes full advantage of this reality." Setting aside that Ms. Seltzer is just your garden variety rude, insulting self-perceived elitist (Americans are neither dumb nor easily misled), the evidence she provides readers to support her case would not pass muster in a 7th grade debate class. "Polling data during and after last week's midterm elections suggested that many Americans genuinely believe President Obama has raised their taxes -- even though the reality is that our president actually lowered them for most of us." Here are the facts. Technically, the "Making Work Pay Tax Credit" passed by President Obama could be considered a "tax cut." Then again, it was only $800 for married couples and $400 for singles. During the worst economic crisis in modern history, that $800 sure went far, I bet! It's also only good for two years. Then again, it's a convenient omission that the Bush tax cuts have saved all Americans far more money since they were instituted. In 2000, a family earning $40,000 paid $6,000 in federal income tax. Between 2001 and 2008, under the Bush Tax Cuts, that same family saved $800 each and every year. Folks in the middle and higher brackets saved even more -- each and every year -- amounting to thousands of dollars. It's interesting that Ms. Seltzer chides dumb Americans for not giving Obama credit for his meager rebate and yet, she seems like one of the folks (the Left) who perpetrated the lie that those tax cuts were "only for the rich." She must believe that she can take those dumb and easily misled Americans for granted by glossing over that inconvenient truth. "This means that people trust pundits like Rush Limbaugh, a major force behind spreading that lie, over the numbers on their own tax returns." Rush was a "major force behind spreading that lie!" This statement is made -- without any evidence at all. Oh, right, we're dumb and easily misled Americans, who are supposed to take her word for it! After all, she's….uh…wait….who is she, again? The EIB Ombudsman? "Half of new Congressmen don't believe in the reality of global warming." Okay, this claim has to be right! After all, it comes from that bastion of Left wing impartiality - ThinkProgress.org! That terrific organization is so kind as to provide links to back up their claim. Except when one actually looks behind those links, ones find that Ms. Seltzer is being a bit - what's that word? Oh, yes. Misleading. A random click on ThinkProgress's link for Ruth McClung's page does not provide a question asking if global warming is a reality. The actual question asked is, "To what extent, if any, does global warming pose a threat to lives, property and the economy?" Ms. McClung provides a comprehensive answer to that question. Moving on, Ms. Seltzer makes several allegations that she simply insists are true, and of course we should absolutely, positively, take her at her word. Because she is…uh…who is she again? "Nearly one-fifth of Americans think Obama is a Muslim. Thanks, Fox news, for acting like this was a matter of opinion, not fact." You know, it seems odd that Fox News' influence would be so great so as to trick 20% of Americans, especially since the Pew Poll she cites says 45% of Democrats believe he's a Muslim. I had no idea so many Democrats watched Fox News, and believed those nasty commentators who claimed Obama was a Muslim. Who on Fox News actually pretended this was a fact, by the way? No evidence cited. Surprise! I guess Ms. Seltzer just assumes us dumb Americans will be easily misled by what she says ... again. "Two out of five Americans, despite the whole separation of church and state being a foundation of our democracy thing, think teachers should be able to lead prayer in classrooms." Ms. Seltzer - a member of the "tolerant" Left - deliberately mischaracterizes the desires of having classroom prayer as being a lack of awareness of the separation of church and state. Somehow wanting prayer in school makes people dumb. I don't really care for the idea myself, but I wonder if wanting universal healthcare that we can't pay for makes anybody else dumb? "Many Americans still believe in witchcraft, ESP and other supernatural phenomena." Of course, such things do not exist. However, exactly how many does "many" refer to? Just enough to maintain an elitist tone, make an emotional appeal to her audience, and toe that 7th grade debate team line, is my guess. I could go on and on, but I want to address one last statement Ms. Seltzer makes in her essay. It really says volumes about who she is. "25 percent of Americans don't believe in Darwin's theory of evolution while less than 40 percent do. Consider the fact that several of our newly elected officials, specifically newly elected Kansas Governor Sam Brownback, share that belief." For all of Ms. Seltzer crowing about how dumb Americans are so easily misled, it would really help her case if she did not willingly distort Gov. Brownback's own words - words printed in the New York Times on May 31, 2007. Read his essay in its entirety. Then-Senator Brownback provides a very eloquent and rational statement of his beliefs. His presentation acknowledges the profound mysteries that face human beings, and how a balance between faith and reason can exist, without one excluding the other. Ms. Seltzer mocks how Americans are uneducated about religion. In doing so, she not only exposes her own ignorance concerning the multiple and varied ways in how people conceive of God, but she demonstrates a provincial conception of the Divine. Indeed, she projects her own feeble-minded crayon drawing of the Old Man With A Beard On A Heavenly Throne onto Gov. Brownback, and then proclaims the Governor is a dolt for believing that this cartoon image created the Universe. If there is any better way to expose the woeful shallowness of her metaphysical perspective, I am at a loss to find one. We are fortunate that, to date, Ms. Seltzer's writings have been relatively confined. With any luck, she will be further pushed to the fringe, where she belongs. Finally, I have to wonder - if Ms. Seltzer believes that Americans are as dumb and easily misled as she believes - does that include the millions who voted for Barack Obama?
