Friday Morning Quick Hits
I am about to start patching some cells this morning. The cells have been a tad obstreperous and ornery these days. I want to warn them though, this crap's gotta stop. So here's your heads up you little buggers:
Figure 1: YOU TELL I'M COMING!!! AND PIPETTES WITH VARIOUS AND SUNDRY INTERNAL CONSTITUENTS ARE COMING WITH ME!!! PVSINCses ARE COMIN WITH ME!!!
In other news, DrugMonkey is highlighting an online comment on a recent Nature paper that point to possible GlamourMagz shenanigans: did a Nature editor string along one group working to refute a recent paper, only to publish a second group's similar work (thus scooping the first group)? And was this Nature editor friends with the 2nd group? Check it out.
Lastly, your Science Soundtrack for the week:
Yes, I just compared science to S&M. Dog upon a leash indeed.

Rihanna becomes the queen of YouTube
Rihanna has overthrown Lady Gaga for the title of Queen of YouTube. She has obtained a total of 2,033,848,822 video views, which is over 2 million more than the former leaders total and growing exponentially. This comes on the heels of Rihannas recent crowning of Queen of Facebook late last year, where coincidentally she also replaced Gaga. Rihanna is also the Queen of Digital Downloads. So what do these titles really mean? Well, Facebook is the most popular social networking site in the world, therefore Rihanna is the most popular female on the most popular social networking site in the world. YouTube has become the primary source people view their music videos from today, therefore, Rihanna is presently the most popular female video artist. /rihannadaily.com

Quick News January 8, 2012
We Found Love extends its reign as Rihannas longest-leading Billboard Pop Songs No. 1, as the song, featuring Calvin Harris, rules for a sixth frame. Thats twice the total of her three previous longest commands: Take a Bow and Disturbia, which led for three weeks apiece in 2008, and Only Girl (In the World) (three, 2010). Rihanna concurrently debuts on Pop Songs at No. 39 as a guest on Coldplays Princess of China. The entrance of Princess Of China queens Rihanna as the sole artist with the most Pop Songs entries since the Nielsen BDS-based list launched the week of Oct. 3, 1992. Now with 30 visits, she passes Island Def Jam labelmate Mariah Carey (29) for first place. Rihanna was one of the first celebrities to congratulate Beyoncé and Jay-Z on their first child, a girl named Blue Ivy Carter. She tweeted: Welcome to the world princess Carter! Love Aunty Rih RiRi got a new Jeep from Roc Nation, click here to see a picture. Hopefully she will have her U.S. driver licence soon. Rihanna is featured on the new GRAMMY Awards promotional video. Dont forget that Rihanna is nominated for 4 awards. Its still unkwon if she will be at the show on February 12. rihannadaily.com

For Thrill-Seekers
December 1st, 2006
Stuart Larman talks to winter sports specialists, Elsewhere, about the phenomenon of backcountry skiing. As experienced skiers seek more thrills, backcountry skiing looks set to stay. But what about the dangers of skiing away from the recognized ski runs? Could you tell us a little about Elsewhere? Whether it's a hardcore weekend away in the …

Seriously, it was a crazy day with MOPS and making jam and trying to catch a nap since I started the day with a migraine. Well Noah is always a bundle of fun and ingenuity, so to speak. I found more things today that made me go "Huh??" and "Seriously!" It began with Noah taking a trip out to the garage and back into the house holding two eggs. He said, "eggs, Mommy." I said, "did you break any?" Noah replied, "yep." I was so mad!!! And sure enough, there were three broken eggs trailing out of the carton up the stairs into the house and the fridge door was wide open! So after scrubbing the garage floor and stairs I came in to start dinner.
Well, it wasn't long when I heard Alexa scream from the toy room, "Mommy, Noah peed in my doll house!" I said, "what? He peed?" "Yes, in my doll house," Alexa replied. Now, Noah is potty trained and knows better than that, so I scolded him and swatted his hinny and he went crying down the stairs. I gathered up the "lil green" machine and headed up to the toy room to clean up the mess. It appeared that he stood in front of the doll house and peed, but actually he peed in the teeny tiny potty that is furniture for the doll house. The doll house toilet was overflowing!!! I was still upset, but had to chuckle at the fact that Noah thought of this all on his OWN!!! So, tomorrow will be a better day, I hope, and Noah is going to the sitter!! Maybe I can actually get some work done in the office. My life is certainly touched in many different aspects as watching a little boy grow up enjoying all of life's offerings...

Bloody Disgusting has a new clip from Mark Harley's Patrick: Evil Awakens (review), checking into limited theaters and on VOD platforms this Friday, March 14 via Phase 4
You're Next's Sharni Vinson is featured in the clip in which she's convinced Patrick can hear her. The doctor on the other hand, says the only thing he registers are "farts". LULZ.
A remake of Richard Franklin's 1978 horror pic, "When a young nurse begins work at an isolated psychiatric ward, she quickly becomes fascinated with Patrick, a brain dead patient who is the subject of a mad scientist's cruel and unusual experiments. What starts as an innocent fascination quickly takes a sinister turn as Patrick begins to use his psychic powers to manipulate her every move, and send her life into a terrifying spiral out of control."
Charles Dance and Rachel Griffiths also star.

In the May issue of The Brooklyn Rail I take a look at Louise Fishman's recent show at Cheim & Read. When I saw the show, I had the same feeling I had at Susan Rothenberg's recent show and had to write about it. Here's an excerpt from the review.
"In stark counterpoint to the New Museum's wryly titled 'Younger Than Jesus' show featuring artists under 33 years old, Cheim & Read is exhibiting the Abstract Expressionist paintings of seventy-year-old Louise Fishman, an artist who has been dedicated exclusively to painting for over fifty years. Critics usually address the materiality, the densely layered paint, and the overall toughness of her canvases, noting how Fishman's non-mimetic imagery emerges through the physical act of painting. Her tenacious approach to art practice (paint, scrape down, paint, scrape down, paint…) is certainly labor-intensive in an old-fashioned way that evokes admiration for her determined endeavor. She has ignored aesthetic wanderlust, postmodern doubt, and post-postmodern theory in favor of a singularly rigorous studio practice. Unlike the work of many younger artists, Fishman's paintings don't hinge on clever ideas or strategic theoretical constructs. Rather, she finds meaning in the physical process of making the art itself—a disposition that lends itself to exhaustive depth rather than expansive breadth.
"The Fishman exhibition comprises three big rooms full of large-scale paintings. They feature dark, clotty passages of dull, textured paint pulled across the expanses, some with a final topcoat of twisty, truncated strokes combed and swept across the pocky surfaces. In Fishman's work, Gerhard Richter's 1980s squeegeed abstractions meet Willem de Kooning's 1950s action paintings. Fishman's show at Cheim & Read three years ago also featured broad horizontal and vertical brush strokes, but they were more clearly aligned with a loose, grid-like structure; the colors were lighter and less abrasive. In the new work, the lattice-like openings of the notional grid seem to have been filled in like potholes on a badly worn, weather-beaten highway. The contrast is obvious and jarring. The denser, more caustic, and ostensibly unlikable nature of her new paintings suggests that Fishman, like most sentient beings, may have developed a darker view of the world over the past few years.
"Yet it is only the emotional and vaguely political aspects of her work that have varied appreciably over the course of a career. Except for a brief exploration of different approaches in the 60s and early 70s, when Fishman and her feminist cohort brazenly undertook to define a new grammar of feminine artistic expression, she has mined the same Abstract Expressionist vein for upwards of forty years. Fishman's narrow-gauged though prodigious output demonstrates that she, like many other artists of her generation (Brice Marden, Robert Mangold, Bill Jensen, Pat Steir, Robert Ryman), is uninterested in extravagant experimentation with concept, approach, or materiality. Indeed, when Fishman started painting, lifelong concentration on a single medium and prolificacy were hallmarks of the great artist. Her commitment to, and mastery of, one medium is still undeniably admirable, her replete exploration of technique fascinating in its resolute intensity…" Read more.

text: Policy & Politics California: Complementary Health Agency Set to Receive HelpSeptember 18, 2008 The Immune Enhancement Project (IEP), a nonprofit that provides services including acupuncture and therapeutic massage to people with AIDS and other conditions, announced on Sept. 12 that it would close by the end of the month. Now, city officials say they are evaluating ways to help the agency. IEP's budget for this fiscal year is about $500,000, said Shane Convery, its co-executive director. IEP was "already operating on a bare bones budget" as a result of previous cuts, Convery said; then the city sliced its allocation to the agency by about 50 percent, to $126,000, for the fiscal year that began in July. "The current budget cut threatens our ability to cover the basic costs of providing services," he said. City Supervisor Bevan Dufty said he had discussed the agency's plight with the Board of Supervisors. Dufty said he asked the city controller to have the audit management team review the situation to calculate IEP's financial gap this year; asked the health department to expedite the board's grant request for IEP; and asked IEP to determine if there are in-kind contributions people or businesses could make to help. "We are currently working with the agency to make sure they get all the funding available to them as soon as possible," Long said. "We'll be working with them to identify alternative sources of funding and determine strategies for supporting their clients." In addition to its 700 clients, IEP provides 2,000 no- or low-cost treatments to clinics in underserved neighborhoods, Convery said. For more information, visit www.iepclinic.com.

You can do either - but if you can play it close to the same you can get a very nice thick sound with real double tracking as opposed to just copying tracks and adjusting their sound.

what would be the best audio interface that i should buy for $200? i just want to have a smooth and good quality recorded guitar tracks, and idk why my buddy uses line 6 ux2 but he still get some noise in his recording, im a newbie so i want to buy what can help me. i just have a basic computer setup amd athlon dual core, 3GB RAM. win 7 64 bit. any advice, im planning to buy an audio interface this coming monday, and i want to get a good audio interface for $200 or cheaper
damn, i really love this place, learn something new every time i come in the door:)
This should really be a sticky. It's a well presented, well thought out and very helpful start point that answers, at least in part, probably 80% of the questions that turn up in the newbies forum.
Great article, very well explained, simple and to the point. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Personally I love the LINE 6 POD UX1 [URL="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001EKECAY/ref=s9_simh_gw_p267_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_r=0N7JYCVDF93QTXT17VV4&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938811&pf_rd_i=507846"] as it comes with great effects for your guitar. So I have it at my office as from time to time, I just get my guitar, connected to my POD and then to the MAC and rehearse some cool riffs...
PD I work for myself so that has some small advantages.

Pro Gainer is a high-protein formula delivering calories that count during recovery. Each shake provides ample amounts of supplemental protein, carbs, vitamins and minerals to build on the amount you're getting through a balanced diet of food. Use Pro Gainer as your post-workout recovery shake and/or a high-protein meal between meals.
Pro Gainer:
Pro Gainer:
- 60 grams of quality proteins per scoop
- 85 grams of carbohydrates to help restore energy levels
- 24 vitamins and minerals
- 5 grams of dietary fiber per serving
- Ideal for stacking with other size-supporting ingredients
Spoon Stirred: Just add one heaping scoop of Pro Complex Gainer to a glass filled with 16 oz. of water, nonfat milk or your favorite beverage. Then mix it up with a spoon. Stir for about 20 seconds or until powder is completely dissolved. Shaker: Just add one heaping scoop of Pro Complex Gainer to your shaker cup and then pour in 16 oz. of your preferred beverage. Cover and shake for 2030 seconds. Tip: Mixing one scoop with 68 fl. oz. of nonfat milk instead of water will give you a thicker, creamier shake. Blender: Add one heaping scoop of Pro Complex Gainer to a blender filled with 16 oz. of water, nonfat milk, or your favorite beverage. Blend for 3040 seconds. Then add a few ice cubes and blend for an additional 30 seconds. Pro Complex Gainer is a superior supplement that can be used to support high-calorie needs in a variety of ways. Between Meals: Drink 12 servings of Pro Complex Gainer between meals to maintain positive nitrogen balance and support a high-calorie diet. Post-Workout: Begin drinking one serving of Pro Complex Gainer 3060 minutes following exercise to support maximum recovery. Before Bed: Drink one serving of Pro Complex Gainer about 4560 minutes before bed to provide nutrients to recovering muscle throughout the night. Note: For best results use Pro Complex Gainer combined with intense weight training (35 times per week) and a sensible diet. Also, keep in mind that sufficient recovery between workouts impacts your ability to gain lean mass. Allowing at least 48 hours between workouts involving the same body parts is recommended.

I wonder what they mean.
I assume they aren't talking about a model in the way an economist would think of it: a simplified representation of the operations of the economy. Probably they mean "we need to run the economy in a different way". This is how businesses use the word "model" when they talk about choosing a business model, or a revenue model. So maybe he just wants to use a different set of rules for taxes, employment or general economic incentives. This speech gives some clues - it's tricky to read through the rhetoric to find any common underlying model, but what he seems to want is to set three "priorities" for government economic policy.
But taking him literally reveals a more interesting way to think about the question. What if he really does want to change the descriptive model that we use to think about the economy?
In principle, a model should be a neutral description of a complex system, and the fact that different models exist shouldn't affect the behaviour of the system itself. Choosing a new model is usually an attempt to incrementally improve the fit of your model with the real world - not the stuff of political revolution.
But interesting things happen when a model turns out to be accurate - or if people think it's accurate. People start to use it. People making decisions about the economy use the model to decide what to do. And the more accurate it seems to be, the more likely they are to use it.
So by developing the original General Theory model of economic activity, savings and unemployment, Keynes had a vast impact on the decisions made by governments and, in turn, by individuals responding to governments.
Successive monetary models have influenced how central banks controlled interest rates (exchange rate models, money supply models, NAIRU and the Taylor rule).
And models of the finance markets have influenced how banks and regulators have interacted with each other within the finance markets.
What if these models are wrong? Are people making vast, sub-optimal decisions and hurting billions of people because of a broken model? Probably. The choice of model does matter.
All of the models I've just mentioned have something in common: they influence the actions of a small number of big players. You could argue that at the lowest level, models don't matter so much - people act according to their local incentives and if they behave according to an inaccurate model, their mistakes will cancel each other out through the forces of competition or evolution. The model's aim is to describe microbehaviour, not influence it.
But actually, people do still follow a mental model in their decision-making, and many of these models are pervasive enough to have a macroeconomic impact. Some examples of models which (I'd suggest) most economic actors are following:
- Money mostly has an objective value
- Savings are good, debt bad
- Investment is good too. That's just the same as savings, right?
- We don't need to save too much, because our risks are cushioned by spreading them across the population
- Financial institutions are safe
- If my job was there this month, it will probably be there next month
So at high and low level, the "economic models" that we follow do have real consequences. If we could change some of those models, the economy would probably be transformed. Therefore perhaps George Osborne does intend to change them. If so, to what?
I hear he likes behavioural economics - so perhaps he has a behavioural or cognitive economic model in mind. His speeches suggest he wants to cut public borrowing and spending - so perhaps he believes in a model in which high borrowing slows economic growth or damages incentives. He says he favours lower personal debt and higher investment - so perhaps his model says that high debt and low investment have negative outcomes.
Whatever his new economic model is, I'm sure he will tell us in more detail at some point.
But change is hard, especially changing other people's minds. Do you think he will be able to change the economic models used by public policymakers? By civil servants? By private companies? By the general public? It would certainly be an interesting project to try. But I'm not sure that a politician is the one to do it - and if anything, Osborne's speeches seem designed to be consistent with the public's existing mental models, not to alter them.
Look instead for academic economists whose ideas Osborne will promote; this is a much likelier route to changing opinion. Here are some of his key advisers. None is an academic - they mostly worked for think tanks and banks. One who has worked at a university is Alan Budd, tipped as head of the Tories' Office for Budgetary Responsibility - who seems fairly mainstream in his economic views. But apart from Budd, it's hard to tell what model someone is likely to believe in if they don't have a record of published work.
So Osborne's new economic model - for all that it might genuinely change the path of the UK economy - remains a bit of a mystery. I look forward to finding out - before the election - what it will be.
p.s. having drafted most of this post, I typed "George Osborne" into the address bar of Google Chrome. The first [and only] autocomplete link it showed me: http://www.conservatives.com/News/Speeches/2009/06/George_Osborne_A_New_British_Economic_Model.aspx. Google owns Blogger, and my draft was in the adjacent tab of Chrome. Is this extreme cleverness, supreme coincidence or just rather spooky?
p.p.s. it was none of the above. Turns out I bookmarked the speech nine months ago intending to write about it, and forgot!

Tata Communications becomes anchor tenant on first direct Brazil-to-US submarine cable
Read more: Tata Brazil Seaborn cable submarine Seabras-1 São Paulo
Indian operator Tata Communications is planning to buy capacity on Seaborn Networks' cable system called Seabras-1, which is expected to be ready to offer service in the fourth quarter of 2014. Seaborn is the developer and operator of the first direct undersea cable between the US and São Paulo, Brazil. Larry Schwartz, CEO of Seaborn Networks, said: "Tata Communications' intended acquisition of capacity on Seabras-1 is indicative of the pent-up demand in the market for an express submarine cable route between the US and Sao Paulo." By becoming an anchor tenant customer on Seabras-1, the Indian operator will be able to offer network services from customers in Brazil to its networks in Europe, US, Africa, Asia and India. Vinod Kumar, Tata Communications' managing director and CEO, said: "This expansion would further extend the global reach of the Tata Global Network (TGN) and forms part of our strategic global connectivity plans."

Assessing the production levels of oil crops in Botswana
- To assess the production level of groundnuts in farming regions of Botswana.
- To compare the production levels of traditional and commercial farming systems of Botswana.
The groundnut (Arachis hypogeae L.) originated in South Bolivia and North Western Argentina is grown as an annual crop in warmer regions of the world including Botswana, principally for its edible oil and protein rich seeds (42-51 % oil and 40-50% protein) (Protabase 2009). In most tropical and subtropical areas where groundnut is grown, the climate is seasonally arid and the staple crop is a cereal usually maize. To ensure survival farmers plant the cereal as soon as they can when the rains start and only plant groundnuts when cereals have established (Summerfields and Roberts 1985). Groundnuts are usually grown by poor smallholder farmers and are considered a women's crop thus it is given lesser priority for when it comes to inputs such as certified seed fertilisers and irrigation (Okumu 1999).
- Chief source of edible oils and plant protein in human diet.
- Low input-high value crop.
- Cost of production drawn from purchasing seed but farmers can preserve seed from previous crop unlike most crops.
- Most costs in groundnut production are labour and can be supplied by family in scarcity of cash (Finn and Kenny 2004).
- Groundnut is an income substitute or supplement for maize.
- Unlike vegetables and fruits which are highly perishable items, groundnuts can be stored for a long period of time and sold when prices are high.
- Farmers can also double its price by roasting it hence earning even higher income.
- Since groundnut takes a shorter time to mature, the land can be used for another possible cropping thus utilising the second rains. This increases gross margins per unit area of land per year.
- Groundnuts are nitrogen fixers and so improve soil fertility ( Okumu, 1999).
Groundnut requires warm tropical and subtropical environments and is well adapted to sandy and sandy loam soils. The optimum mean daily temperature for Botswana is 27-30˚c, optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 25-30˚c and temperatures lower than 20˚c slows development and those higher than 35˚c adversely affect development. A rainfall range of 500- 1000mm is ideal for groundnut production but a crop can produce on as little as 300-400mm thus it has some degree of drought tolerance. A dry period is required for ripening and harvesting and a soil pH of 5,8-6,2 is ideal for production (Tsuaneng and Maphanyane 2000).
Groundnuts should be sown in a seedbed with a fine tilth since large clods may hamper emergence. Due to its pod forming habit, deep ploughing should be avoided since it encourages development of pods in deeper layers of the soil making harvesting difficult (Bass, 2000).
Quality seeds are of utmost importance for establishing the optimum plant stand. Pods for seed purposes should be stored unshelled in a cool dry and ventilated place and pods should be shelled by hand one week before sowing as hand shelling ensures little damage to the seeds. Seeds shelled before sowing times are liable to suffer from loss of viability and storage damages. Shrivelled and diseased seeds should be discarded and only bold large seeds should be used for sowing (Bass 2000). Seeds should be treated with thiram or captan before sowing to check various seed and soil borne diseases. Seeds should also be inoculated with a proper strain of rhizobium culture particularly in those places where groundnut is grown for the first time ( Tsuaneng and Maphanyane 2000).
In Botswana groundnuts should be sown from late November to mid December and soil moisture reserves are often adequate at this time to sustain good vegetative development and produce strong plants. Planting later than the end of December often exposes the crop to good moisture reserves but mid season drought usually experienced in January can affect pod formation and filling. The season also becomes too short to allow enough time for maturity. Planting in November exposes the crop to risks of early season drought. Low temperatures at this time also adversely affect germination resulting in poor or delayed emergence. Groundnuts in Botswana are planted 4-6cm deep at a rate of 30kg/ha for row planting (Tsuaneng and Maphanyane 2000) but in other places it is planted 4-7 cm deep in moist soil at a rate of 60-80kg/ha (Protabase 2009).
The recommended plant population in Botswana is 50-100 000 plants/ha depending on moisture availability and 133 000 plants/ha under irrigation. An inter row spacing of 0.75m is recommended with variation of 0.1-0.2m within row depending on plant population required (Tsuaneng and Maphanyane 2000). In other places optimum plant populations are 133 000 to 167 000 and Spanish types are spaced at 60-75cm between rows and 10cm within rows while large seeded Virginia types are spaced at 75cm between rows and 15cm within rows giving a plant population of 89 000 plants/ha (Summerfield and Roberts 1985).
The recommended groundnut varieties in Botswana are given in the table below
Cultivar | Growth habit | Maturiy (Days) | Yield (t/ha) | Seed | Pod | ||||
colour | size | Size (mm) | Beak | Constriction | Reticulation | ||||
Sellie | Upright | 120-130 | 1-2 | Tan | Medium | 26 | Slight | Moderate | Prominent |
GC8-13 | Upright | 115 | 1-2 | Tan | Small | 25 | Moderate | Slight | Prominent |
S46 | Prostate | 120-130 | 1-2.5 | Tan | Small | 30 | Slight | Deep | Slight |
ICGS-31 | upright | 120-130 | 1-2.5 | Tan | Small | 25 | Absent | Slight | Moderate |
(Tsuaneng and Maphanyane 2000).
Groundnuts meet major part of its Nitrogen requirement through nitrogen fixation. However an application of 20-40kg/ha as a starter dose is given to meet the nitrogen requirement of the crop in the initial stage in poor fertility soils. About 50-60kg P2O5 and about 30-40kg K2O/ha should also be added (Wyne and Rowe 1998). In Botswana a basal application of N, P and K at 23; 10.5; and 12.5 kg/ha respectively, benefits the crop by improving plant establishment and pod production. Calcium is an important element for pod development and filling and should be applied as gypsum at 500kg/ha at flowering. Farmyard manure/compost can also be added at 10-15t/ha before sowing (Tsuaneng and Maphanyane 2000).
Weeding should be done thoroughly at the early vegetative stage and 1 or 2 hoeings should be done depending on soil type and extend of weed infestation. Earthing up (hilling) should also be done to promote easy penetration of pegs in soil and also provide more area to spread. To control diseases, plant debris should be buried or burnt and infected plants should be rouged as soon as they appear in the field. Tolerant cultivars should be grown and insecticides should be used to control high incidence of pests. Groundnut can also be intercropped with maize, millets, sorghum, and sunflower (Finn and Kenny 2004).
Groundnut is attacked by various pests and diseases and some of the pests include thrips, aphids, groundnut leafminer, termites, and maize rootworm. Diseases include early leaf spot, rust while viruses include groundnut rosette virus which is transmitted by aphids. Aspergillus fungi also attack pods and seeds producing alfatoxin (Summerfields and Roberts 1985).
Groundnuts should be harvested when mature because premature harvesting lowers yield and kernel quality. The plants should not be allowed to dry before harvesting as this tends leads to pod losses at harvesting. To determine maturity, scratching the groundnut pod from outside will show a dark brown colour for a mature pod while a cream white colour is indicative of immaturity. Mature pods also show brown to dark marks on the inside while immature pods are white and pulpy or fibrous (Tsuaneng and Maphanyane 2000). Groundnuts should be harvested in dry weather to avoid rotting and development of mould due to wet weather. Harvesting is done by hand or by machines using a digger shaker inverter. The plants should then be stoked to dry before threshing. Threshing is done by hand or machine when plants are dry and pods should be stored in stacked bags until required (Bass, 2000).
- The seed is eaten raw, boiled or roasted and is made into peanut butter and oil is also extracted from the seed.
- After oil extraction the press cake which is high in protein is used as animal feed, makes flour, glue, starches and wool.
- Shells are used to make building blocks and are a source of reducing sugars, organic chemicals, combustable gas, activated carbon and are also used for livestock feed.
- Plants may be used to feed animals as fodder or silage.
- Young pods and leaves are consumed as vegetables in some parts of West Africa and pod extracts are used for medicinal purposes like as eyedrops to treat conjuctivis and also have aphrodisiac properties. Macerations of seed coats treat syphyllis and ophthalmia and leaf infusions treat female infertility and eye injuries and cataracts.
- The groundnut plant fixes nitrogen and so improves soil fertility and the haulms are applied as green manure and shells are used as fertiliser or mulch (Protabase 2009)

Total | 232 | 233 | 79 | 853 | 240 | 193 | 11 | 72 | 100 | 72 |
The average yield (kg/ha) of groundnuts was very low from 1989 to 1993 and this may have been because of poor rains which are usually received in Botswana. The yield then increased from 1993 to 95 especially in Maun, Central and Gaborone regions with Maun reaching its peak in 1993 and Central and Gaborone regions reaching theirs in 1995. This maybe because there was a lot of rain in the 1995 season. There was however a deterioration in yield after reaching the peak up to 1999 but it started increasing again in 2001 up to 2002 though at a slower rate. This may be because the conditions of poor rains had started prevailing again.
The average total yield of groundnut was constant in 1989 and 90 and increased to reach a peak of just above 800kg/ha in 1995 coinciding with the year in which there was an increase in yield in Gaborone and Central regions. The total yield started declining in the subsequent years to levels below 300kg/ha.
Commercial yield showed constant yield in the first 2 years and declined to 200kg/ha and below only to increase sharply and reaching a maximum of above 600kg/ha in 2002. Traditional yield was more or less constant averaging around 100kg/ha from 1989 to 93 and sharply increased to a maximum of above 800kg/ha in 1995 before declining in the subsequent years to levels below 200kg/ha. The decrease may have been due to drought conditions prevailing again since there may have been more rain in 1995 which had caused a sharp increase. However the commercial farming system generally has higher yields than traditional and this maybe mainly because of use of improved hybrids, fertiliser, more weed and pest control and maybe supplementary irrigation.
Yields of oil crops are consistently low in all farming regions as they are below the expected Botswana yields and this is probably due to poor rains and substandard management. The subsistence farmers are getting lesser yields as compared to the commercial farmers and most of these small scale farmers who are growing oil seed crops have limited access to resources and markets. Most of them cannot at present afford expensive capital developments or purchased inputs. The physical, financial, technical, commercial and administrative support which farmers in the industrialised countries are getting is not mostly available to them. However significant improvements are already technically possible as new cultivars with durable and stable resistances, tolerances and adaptations to biological and environmental constraints have been and are being developed. Establishment of local industries that use oil crops as raw materials can also help to provide market for the oil crops produce and thus gives farmers an incentive for spending more on inputs and thus produce more.
The market demand should be sustained so that an efficient and reliable seed industry can deliver improved seeds to farmers. Farmers should also purchase seed from reputable seed companies or dealers with a good technical service record if production problems do occur and assistance or consultation is required. The cultivars which the seed companies must offer should provide a measure of insurance against pests, diseases and drought and this would encourage both small scale farmers and large scale farmers who are entering agriculture to use more productive methods including timely sowing and control of weeds to ensure higher productivity. The farmers should always seek for assistance from the nearest offices of the Department of Agriculture.

Free Speech and Funding Fears
Political self-defense seems to be the most savory of theories behind why the City University of New York Law School's dean nixed a student bid to honor criminal defense attorney Lynne Stewart with the Public Interest Lawyer Award at graduation next month. Stewart, the first attorney targeted by the U. S. war on terror, is under a federal indictment on charges of aiding a terrorist organization resulting from her representation of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, the cleric jailed for the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Stewart is accused of helping to pass along information from the sheikh to his followers and could face a 40-year sentence.
By selecting her for the honor, CUNY Law students joined dozens of attorney associations in expressing outrage at the government's taping of Stewart's conversations with her client and other infringements on constitutional rights involved in the indictment. Despite its tradition of cultivating left-leaning, public interest attorneys, CUNY Law is joining an apparent nationwide trend in academia of backing down on freedom-of-speech issues when it comes to so-called un-American viewpoints.
In a closed meeting last week, CUNY School of Law dean Kristin Booth Glen told a tiny group of invited students that she would not accept their petition of 73 namesmore than half the graduating classto honor Stewart with the traditionally student-chosen award at graduation.
In a later e-mail to students, Glen implied Stewart's presence would bring heat from political higher-ups who control the purse strings of the law school. "In my judgment the presentation of this award at graduation . . . could lead to consequences that could be damaging," the e-mail reads. "As a public institution that is part of a public university, the Law School is accountable to many constituencies and is dependent on the university and state officials for its existence. This is particularly true during these extraordinarily difficult financial times." But Glen also noted a "substantial minority of students" who would find honoring Stewart "hurtful."

It's not that students don't recognize Glen's struggle to maintain the life of the schooleven at the cost of silence. Threats to funding are not new to CUNY Law, which is only a tiny part of a Republican-run CUNY system. CUNY Law came under direct criticism for spending more time on social justice issues than on preparing students to pass the barit has consistently had only a 50 percent passage rate.
But to many, "rolling over" is paramount to a death sentenceand a win for those, like Attorney General John Ashcroft, targeting constitutional rights in the war on terror. In 1998, long before the USA Patriot Act, the Justice Department got permission to use a legal loophole to spy on Stewart and her client. Since then, the Bush administration's USA Patriot Act has eased use of this tactic.
Stewart was chosen as the recipient of the award as much to show solidarity with her cause as to honor her 25-year career of defending everyone from liberation movement activists to mobster Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano. The award is a statement against government efforts to silence attorneys who choose to defend those with an unpopular cause in times that are beginning to make the McCarthy era look like training camp.
"There is an irrational fear being used to suppress civil liberties. We [CUNY Law] are supposed to be challenging that, and this decision is throwing all of that out the window," says Kavita Pawria, a graduating student.
There is also a nagging question: "What's going to happen to the rest of us?" asks Kris Kraus, the student vice president of the Criminal Law Society. "If this can happen to Stewart, what's going to happen to me when I am in the Bronx defending some guy charged with marijuana possession?" More pressing is concern for the attorneys now involved in defending other high-profile terrorism cases, including six African Americans held in Portland charged with having links to Al Qaeda.
Stewart has been quite free with her speech since her arrest April 9, 2002, but spokespeople for the Lynne Stewart Legal Defense Committee said she would not comment on CUNY's decision. "People like the left going after the left; she doesn't feel that's appropriate," said Pat Levasseur of the defense committee. Levasseur said that Stewart is "honored and touched" that she was selected as a nominee and "shocked and saddened that we live in such a climate of fear" that she can't receive the award. She noted that CUNY is known for offering a legal education "to those who wouldn't otherwise receive one" and that the school has sent a number of students to work with Stewart on cases, including her own.
But last week wasn't the first time a university didn't see fit to support Stewart. Last November, Stewart was spurned by Stanford University after flying across the country to act as a student mentor in the law school's public-interest practice. Upon arriving at the hotel, Stewart found a fax from Stanford Law dean Kathleen M. Sullivan, canceling the mentoring appointment. Sullivan later released a statement saying she couldn't support Stewart's "endorsement of the use of directed violence."
At the time, Stewart called Sullivan's move "outrageous" and a "further chilling of the atmosphere for civil rights in this country." Asked why her reaction was different to CUNY's decision, Levasseur noted the "very real" threats and "precarious ground"on which CUNY Law stands as a public university. "Obviously the same climate of fear exists" for both schools. "In that case it was Stanford elitism."
But fearor at least the reflex to toe the lineseems to be a running theme in how academia, once on the forefront of radical thought, is dealing with free speech these days. In September, 2001, tenured University of South Florida professor Sami Al-Arian was suspended after his history of anti-Israel statements was aired on The O'Reilly Factor. He was recently arrested on charges of facilitating terrorism for his alleged connections with a Palestinian jihadist group. At Columbia University, fellow professors marooned anthropologist Nicholas De Genova for his remark at a campus anti-war teach-in that he "wished a thousand Mogadishus" on the U.S. military.
CUNY Law's administration recently bowed out of taking a stand on affirmative action despite the majority of faculty and students maintaining strong support of the policy. While the school sponsored a busload of students to Washington, D.C., on the day the Supreme Court would hear arguments in the University of Michigan case, spokespeople for the school insisted that CUNY Law spent no public funds on the trip and had "no official position on affirmative action."
Certainly CUNY Law's faculty has limited protest in the Stewart scenario. "The dean wanted to know the faculty was behind her," said CUNY law professor Frank Deale. "I don't think anyone could deny her fears. It's pretty clear the state is in a budget crisis, we are having difficulty with bar passage and we are being constantly attacked in the New York Post." Still, Deale said most faculty members support Stewart and the fight to protect an attorney's right to defend all clients.
The effort to appease both sides became apparent in Glen's final decision on Stewart. In an attempt to respect the rights of the student body and show solidarity with the cause, Glen said students could present an award to Stewart, however not during the graduation ceremony.
Stewart will not likely receive the Public Interest Lawyer Award, but will receive an honor from the Criminal Law Society during a private ceremony on campus this week.

AD Setup fails (bug?)

10 Nov 2014 19:35 #2248 by BillK
I'm finally getting around to installing the product, and the very first step, AD prep script, is failing. When I look at the resultant PS1 file, it appears the GUI is not picking up the changes I made. Specifically, the Launcher account name still says Launcher-V4 in the part of the script where the ADuser is created. So I decided to leave the name as Launcher-V4 and it worked. I'd say this is a bug.

Antique Bakery has a calm pace, some pretty decent comedy and a nice dose of light drama. Full of bishies and mellow colours, the show was really easy on the eyes. The story started out reasonably light-hearted, and slowly tilted a bit more towards drama, all leading to a satisfying conclusion. An excellent show for a surprisingly wide audience: the bishie-fans, fans of light-drama and those looking for something soothing.
There are no comments - leave one to be the first!

Silvio Berlusconi seems to be making the hard choices for Carlo Ancelotti. And he seems keen on embarrassing him at forums which have little to do with soccer.
Criticizing him for playing Ronaldinho off the bench. Castigating him for Milan's inability to stop late goals. Belittling his managerial skills by saying that the team has the players to easily outstrip Inter.
Now he seems to leading Ancelotti into making personnel decisions. Inviting Adebayor to join the club. But all this pales in comparison with what he said yesterday:
"This time I may have to sell Kaka for real," he revealed.
He dropped the bombshell at a dinner for candidates standing for EU parliament elections.

Sleep Disorders and Children with Special NeedsSleeping is an important part of a child's life, from early infancy through adolescence. Babies born early or with a childhood disability are more likely to have sleep disorders related to breathing problems and physical challenges that can be quite serious. There are resources to explore online if your child has symptoms of a sleep disorder like apnea, sleep-disordered breathing, nightmares; or other problems, including reflux, that change the quality or length of time of their sleep. Babies and toddlers with Down syndrome, as well as older children and teens, have a high incidence of both problems, and parents often report sleep disturbances and unexpected sleep habits. There is a great deal of recent research into sleep disorders like snoring, sleep apnea, and other breathing problems during sleep in children that can affect health, development, and growth, as well as complicate existing conditions that already challenge children with special needs. Experts at SleepEducation.com suggest that "children with frequent loud snoring, learning problems, or excessive daytime sleepiness are more likely to have sleep-disordered breathing." The American Academy of Sleep Medicine reports studies that show "breathing problems during sleep may affect mental development in infants and young children." Research has also shown links between insulin resistance and sleep disorders, sleep apnea and incidence of diabetes. Many children, who do not otherwise have special needs, may experience sleep disturbances or develop sleep problems temporarily while adapting to unexpected changes or after traumatic events. Some may be related to developmental stages, allergies, reactions to medications, or even something as simple as the timing of their vitamin supplements.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (May 9, 2013) - The Generals (13-18) dropped their second straight to the Stars (13-20) on Thursday night in Huntsville, 6-2. The Stars lead the current series, two games to one.
RHP Taijuan Walker (L, 3-3 - 5.1,7,4,4,2,7) made his seventh Jackson start Thursday and suffered his first loss since April 20. He had allowed just two earned runs in his last five starts, but surrendered four in 5.1 innings Thursday.
The Stars jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning on a 2-run double off the bat of Jason Rogers.
The Generals trimmed the lead in half after a single from Leury Bonilla (2x4, RBI) plated Vinnie Catricala (0x3, R). On the play, Julio Morban (1x4) was thrown out at the plate trying to score the tying run. That was as close as Jackson got Thursday night.
The Stars added four more runs including a solo home run from Rene Tosoni in the bottom of the fourth inning and solo shots from Brock Kjeldgarrd and Rogers in the eighth.
Jackson pushed across their second run in the game in the top of the seventh inning on an RBI groundout from Brandon Bantz (0x3, RBI).
The third place Generals now trail the Birmingham Barons by nine games in the North Division standings.
Jackson and Huntsville will play game four of the five game series Friday night at Joe Davis Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 6:43p.m CT. The Generals will send RHP Brett Shankin (1-1, 3.43) to the mound against RHP Andy Moye (1-3, 4.76). The game can be heard on 96.5 ESPN, jacksongeneralsbaseball.com and the TuneIn Radio app.

Spinach Dip
Posted by: Maggie
Happy Monday!
Please pardon my attitude...it is hot as sin here in DC today, which makes me unreasonably grumpy. In honor of this miserable weather, I present to you a recipe that requires no stove, no oven, and no microwave.
Those of you who have been reading A Bitchin' Kitchen for awhile may remember that I shared a recipe for Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip back around Christmas. Hot spinach dip will always be my personal favorite, but this cold version of spinach dip is so simple and delicious that it deserves a place on the blog as well. It uses a packet of salad dressing mix, so any readers who are strictly against packaged stuff like that may want to avert their eyes now, and come back for Wednesday's very homemade recipe! (Hint: It is in celebration of National Ice Cream Month!)
Here's what you'll need for about 2 cups of dip:
2 packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed, and thoroughly wrung out (I used my potato ricer to wring out the spinach and it worked like a charm!)
1 cup mayonnaise
1 packet ranch salad dressing mix
Pinch of nutmeg
2 scallions, green parts chopped
In a medium bowl, combine the wrung out spinach and scallions. In a small bowl, thoroughly mix together the mayonnaise, salad dressing mix, and nutmeg. Add the dressing mix to the spinach mix, stir together, and chill until you're ready to serve. Tastes best when served with crackers, tortilla chips, or a spoon!

Gasoline Weakens as Crude Retreats on Iran Diplomacy, Euro Drop
Barbara PowellGasoline slipped after crude retreated when U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry indicated a diplomatic solution on Iran's use of nuclear power was possible and as the euro declined.
March futures settled 0.6 percent lower after rising 2.1 percent. The April crack spread, or premium of gasoline over West Texas Intermediate crude on Nymex, declined 7 cents to $43.96 a barrel after touching a record $45.19. The spread versus Brent crude on the ICE Futures Europe exchange in London shrank 43 cents to $22.63 a barrel.
"We're 7 cents from the highs and it's all crude-related, based on some dovish comments from Secretary of State Kerry that a solution with Iran is possible," said Andrew Lebow, a senior vice president at Jefferies Bache LLC in New York. "There's a hard correlation to the euro."
March-delivery gasoline fell 1.85 cents to settle at $3.0611 a gallon on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Crude oil for April delivery on the Nymex dropped 2 cents to $93.11 a barrel, after touching $94.46.
Prices extended their decline after the settlement, sinking 1.4 percent to $3.0355 a gallon. The euro lost 0.9 percent against the dollar at 4:29 p.m. in New York, making commodities priced in the U.S. currency less attractive to investors.
The March gasoline contract, which expires Feb. 28 and is for winter-grade fuel, widened its discount to April futures by 1.63 cents to 20.25 cents. The April contract represents summer-grade gasoline, which is more expensive to refine.
Top Performer
Gasoline has gained 8.9 percent this year and is the top performer this year on the Standard & Poor's GSCI index of 24 commodities. Prices have risen on concern refinery shutdowns will tighten supply as demand picks up in April.
"The main driver is worries about all the offline refinery production as we get near the usual seasonal step-up in demand," said Gene McGillian, an analyst and broker at Tradition Energy in Stamford, Connecticut.
Seasonal plant maintenance typically peaks in March and April. Refineries used 82.9 percent of capacity in the week ended Feb. 5, the lowest level in 11 months, according to data from the Energy Information Administration.
Gasoline imports slipped to a four-week low. Hess Corp. is scheduled to permanently close its Port Reading, New Jersey, plant this week, increasing the East Coast's reliance on imports. The refinery represents 7.7 percent of East Coast gasoline-making capacity, estimated Andy Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates LLC in Houston.
"The big question for the Northeast will be if they can get enough summer-grade gasoline from Europe and other import locations," Lipow said.
Retail gasoline, averaged nationwide, was unchanged at $3.777 a gallon, AAA said today on its website. The fuel has jumped 15 percent this year to within 15.9 cents of last year's high of $3.936, according to AAA data.
Heating oil for March delivery fell 0.53 cent to $3.0989 a gallon on the exchange.

Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc (NYSE:FCX) is a miner, smelter, and refiner of copper, gold, and molybdenum. Copper production represents over 80% of 2007 revenues, with FCX owning mining and smelting operations in North and South America, Indonesia, and Europe.[1] The company's total proven reserves in its three primary outputs range from 17 to 28 times 2007 output, with over a billion dollars already invested in developing what are estimated to be the largest undeveloped copper and molybdenum reserves in the world.[2]Prices for all three key outputs in the commodities markets have been at historically high levels since approximately 2004, leading to increased revenues for the company. Further increases in spot prices would lead to more positive financial effects, while any kind of downward corrections would lead to fairly elastic decreases in operating income. The no value-added products the company sells leaves it intimately vulnerable to commodity price fluctuations.
In March 2007, FCX acquired former American rival Phelps-Dodge, greatly expanding its copper output and reserves and entering the molybdenum market. Combined with existing mining holdings in Indonesia, Freeport-McMoRan is one of the world's largest mining companies.[3]
Freeport-McMoRan itself is a holding company, operating through three main subsidiaries: Phelps-Dodge, PT-Freeport Indonesia, and Atlantic Copper. Its operating segments are involved with mining, smelting, and refining copper, gold, and molybdenum.[4] Each subsidiary is either fully or majority-owned by FCX.
Over 3/4s of FCX's revenues come from the sale of refined copper, of which over 75% is bought by third-parties for use in construction or the manufacture of electrical appliances and industrial machinery.[12] Worldwide copper consumption has been growing at an annualized rate of approximately 3.1% since 1990, representing a strong increase in demand for FCX's core product over the past two decades.[13] As of the end of fiscal year 2007, Freeport-McMoRan's total proven reserves of copper amounted to over 24 times 2007's output.[14]
Molybdenum, with useful applications in steel alloy production, is almost wholly mined by FCX's American operations.[15] As of the end of fiscal year 2007, Freeport-McMoRan's total proven reserves of molybdenum came to over 28 times 2007 output.[16]
Gold, which is used in jewelry and certain sensitive electronics, is mined primarily in Indonesia by PT-Freeport.[17] As of the end of fiscal year 2007, Freeport-McMoRan's total proven reserves of gold added up to over 17 times 2007's output.[18]
Metric | 2005 | 2006 | 2007 |
Total Revenue | 4,179 | 5,791 | 16,939 |
Operating Income (Loss) | 2,177 | 2,869 | 6,555 |
Net Income (Loss) | 995 | 1,457 | 2,977 |
Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share ($) | 4.67 | 6.63 | 7.50 |
Long-Term Debt | 1,188 | 661 | 7,180 |
Total Shareholders' Equity | 1,842 | 2,445 | 18,234 |
Operating Margin (%) | 52.1 | 49.5 | 38.7 |
Net Profit Margin (%) | 22.4 | 24.1 | 16.3 |
The March 2007 acquisition of rival North American miner Phelps-Dodge was the key factor driving the noticeable jumps in FCX's revenue, shareholders' equity, and long-term debt between fiscal years 2006 and 2007.

About the Book
Documentary photography of San Francisco
--- with foreword by Chris Carlsson
San Francisco is a photographer's paradise. Countless millions of photos are taken every year by tens of thousands of tourists, while professional photographers flock to capture the charismatic city's familiar but always breathtaking views. With an eye for its natural beauty, a photographer can spend years trying to get the angle, the light, the juxtaposition that brings this city's magic to a single frame.
But amidst this endless and prolific quest, most photographers overlook the prosaic scenes of daily life, and easily miss the remarkable textures that span class, ethnicity, neighborhood, architecture, signage, and so much more. Enter Jason Winshell's eye-opening collection "Street," wherein he has spent the first decade of the 21st century taking pictures in one of the most photographed places on earth. But he has avoided repeating the clichés and easy tropes that dominate San Francisco's common portrayal. Instead Winshell has stopped on unlikely corners to see the actual people who live here.
The people in Winshell's photos might have arrived in the last generation from Central America or Southeast Asia, refugees from the endless wars prosecuted by our industrialized military state. Others may have landed here quite recently in hot pursuit of the fast money that puts San Francisco in this era among the ultimate in shape-shifting urban spaces. As we gaze at his photos we can wonder who these people are, what the stories might be that led them to appear suddenly in his arresting images.

Muʿtazilah (Arabic: المعتزلة) is an Islamic school of speculative theology that flourished in the cities of Basra and Baghdad, both in present-day Iraq, during the Abbasid Age (800-1050 CE). Though Mu'tazilis later relied on logic and different aspects of early Islamic philosophy, Greek philosophy, and Hellenistic philosophy, the truths of Islam were their starting point and ultimate reference. Table Of Contents Introduction - a tale of two texts; the rise and fall of the Mu'tazila in premodern Islam; the life and works of Qadi' abd Al-Jabbar; a thick description of the five Usul; Kiab Al-Usul Al-Khamsa (book of the five fundamentals) - a translation; the persistance of traditionalism and rationalism; the significance of Mu'tazilism in Indonesia; Harun Naustion's defense of Mu'tazilism; Kaum Mu'tazilah dan Pandangan Rasionalanya (the Mu'Tazila and rational philosophy) - a translation; modern and postmodern glosses of Mu'tazilism; the implication of modernity - deconstructing the argument. p. 232, `aql, reason; rationalism in Islam thought. p. 233, islamiyun, Islamists, contemporary traditionalist Muslims, sometime referred to as fundamentalists, who seek to make the Shari`a the highest and most pervasive authority in Islamic states. no reviews | add a review
