Did you get hit by a penguin? Google just released their Penguin 2.0 update and lots of websites are seeing their rankings drop. So, what do you do if your rankings have dropped?
Don't despair. There is hope. You can recover.
First, it would be good to understand what Penguin is. Links are very important in Google's ranking algorithm and they don't like people manipulating link as this leads to search results that may not be very good. Penguin is an algorithm that Google has released which seeks to find and devalue or penalize spammy links and paid links. If you're not sure what is meant by spammy links, I have a previous article that explains What Kind of Spammy Links Is Google Going After with Penguin 2.0 that I'd encourage you to read.
My Rankings Dropped! What do I do?
If you've seen a significant drop in your rankings, you may have been hit by Google's Penguin update. The first thing you should do is investigate to make sure it's Penguin that caused your rankings to drop and not something else. After all, there are lots of things that can cause your site to drop. Go to your Google Webmaster Tools account and look through your link profile to see if you have an unnatural link profile. There are also several software tools that can help with this investigation. (if you're not sure what an unnatural link profile is, see this article)
Recovering from Penguin 2.0:
Ok, let's say you have an unnatural link profile or you just know that you've been doing a bunch of spammy link building. How do you recover? The first step is to try to get any spammy links removed.
- Get rid of any paid links that pass link juice, especially links on private blog networks.
- Get rid of any spammy forum posts, especially forum profile links. You can usually just login and delete your posts/profile.
- Try to have any spammy blog comments removed. Keep in mind, blog commenting itself isn't spamming, but when you have a bunch of "Great post, I love what you do here [insert link with keyword here]" posts, those are spam.
- Look into site-wide links. First, consider whether the links themselves are valuable (are they sending real traffic). If so, just ask the webmaster to make the links no-follow. There's no need to lose real traffic. If the links aren't producing traffic and, perhaps they are on a suspiciously low quality site, then try to have them removed.
For any of the 4 above types of links, if you can't get them removed, then you can use the disavow tool Google provides in their Google Webmaster Tools. Keep in mind, however, that you're dealing with people who have more important things to do than remove your links. So, if you don't receive an immediate response, give it a little time and send a few requests over a couple of weeks. If after a month or so you haven't gotten a response, then you can use the disavow tool.
Submit a Request to Google:
Once you have removed as many spammy links as you could (documenting it as you go) and used the disavow tool for the links you couldn't get removed, then contact Google to have them re-evaluate your site. You can do this in your Google Webmaster Tools account. Be sure to provide them with documentation showing that you've removed links and have been trying to get the other spammy links removed and that you used the disavow tool. Google is going to want to see that you've taken real steps to correct the issue. Then wait. You should get a response, but it may take a while.
It Might Not be a Penalty:
The last thing I'll add is that you do not need to submit a request for Google to review your site unless you've receive a notice of a manual penalty in your Google Webmaster Tools account. This is usually a message from Google telling you they've detected some unnatural links. If you haven't received a message, then you probably don't have a manual penalty and you're just dealing with the algorithm. So, a request to Google won't do you any good. They'll just tell you manual action wasn't taken against your site. In that case, you just need to do your best to guess how many links to remove and, more importantly, start building good, natural links. I've done an algorithm recovery for a client where we didn't remove any links, we just built a bunch of good links until their profile looked natural again and they recovered quite well.

The importance of metabolism in cancer research
Cancer metabolism is fast becoming an area to watch out for in R&D. Last month I tweeted that I was attending a one day meeting at NY Academy of Sciences on Cancer Metabolism with keynote speakers Drs Lou Cantley and Craig Thompson. Jonathan Mandelbaum (@biotechbaumer) responded saying it looked like a dress rehearsal of another related meeting he was attending the following week. That was too good an opportunity to miss, so I invited Jonathan to consider guest posting a summary of the Keystone event he attended here on Pharma Strategy. I'm delighted to say he kindly took me up on the offer and what follows is Jonathan's synopsis, including some references he chose to illustrate the key points, most of which are open access.

Points or Posts
Steve Jones
, 2007/09/27
It's an interesting question that we had come up, and honestly I'm not completely sure what I want. I'll describe it a bit here and then you can send comments to me (sjones at sqlservercentral.com) or
post them in the poll I've set up
Right now we have each forum post equaling 1 point. Each question from the Question of the Day has a point value (which is randomly chosen by me, usually defaulting to 2) and you get the appropriate number of points for each correct answer. So your total is
Points = Posts + (correct questions * points for each correct question)
This has confused people and while it's an interesting idea, a bunch of people, including myself would like to see their post count. We could easily show posts in the forums and points elsewhere, but here's the trick.
Right now member levels are stored in one place. So if we separate things out, you could have one member level in the QOD section and another one in the forums. Changing that is a little tricky, takes some development time, and more, we need to think about how we'd like that to work.
Personally I don't know if it matters if you have different member levels, and while I'm sure some people won't like it, I wonder if they're the majority. Let us know.

News Release
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In a letter to Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt, Chairman Frank H. Murkowski and Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell, Chairman of the Indian Affairs Committee, wrote they were "profoundly disturbed by what appears to be concerted action by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) to actively generate public opposition to one of our legislative proposals now pending before the Committee on Indian affairs."
The letter by the two senators refers to a July 8, 1999, BIA letter to the Tribes of the Great Sioux Nation misrepresenting both the intent and the effect of the Murkowski/Campbell legislation, S. 739. The BIA letter to the President of the Oglala Sioux Tribe from the Superintendent of BIA, Robert D. Ecoffey, states: "This bill is proposing that all of the Tribe's trust funds including the Black Hills Settlement Claims monies be taken out of the U.S. Treasury and be contracted to various other commercial banks. If no action is taken by the Tribe, it would imply that the Tribe accepted the money." They are cautioning this could be interpreted as an acceptance of the settlement and an end to claims to the Black Hills. Several tribes want the Black Hills of South Dakota returned to them and have refused to accept a government financial settlement that exceeds $600 million.
S. 739 does not do anything to that claim. It simply allows the withdrawal of Indian trust funds to earn better interest rates in financial institutions designated by the Tribes. It in no way implies acceptance of a settlement for the Black Hills.
"This (BIA) letter is not only misleading and at times patently false, but runs afoul of the congressional prohibition against using federal appropriations for lobbying activities. Section 303 of the FY 1999 Omnibus Consolidate and Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act contains the prohibition that states that:
(n)o part of any appropriation contained in this Act shall be available for any activity or the publication or distribution of literature that in any way tends to promote public support of opposition to any legislative proposal on which congressional action is not complete," the Senators wrote Babbitt."
Disregard for this prohibition is obvious in a quotation from the BIA Aberdeen area director Cora Jones, who is quoted in Indian Country Today: "It's a valid concern. Start writing to Congress to stop this particular bill and ask specifically to exclude the Black Hills." In addition Superintendent Ecoffey, in his letter states, "Please share this information with the voting population within your respective districts."
Senators Campbell and Murkowski concluded their letter to Babbitt by letting him know copies of the relevant letters would be sent to the Department's Acting Inspector General for his review.

CHILDREN at a Bridgwater primary school got a real lift - when Team GB Olympic weightlifting star Michaela Breeze dropped by.
Michaela, 33, competed at the Athens and Beijing Olympics and won gold medals at the Commonwealth Games in 2002 and 2006.
She retired after winning silver at the Delhi Commonwealth Games in 2010.
She visited St Mary's Primary School as part of the Be The Best You Can Be! programme, which aims to ensure the Olympic legacy lives on in schools.
She spoke to children about how she achieved her success and told them how they can achieve their goals.
Mary-Jane Collington, head teacher, said: "I was determined that our school would be one of the schools to undertake the Be The Best You Can Be! programme. "The inspiration offered by high achievers including Olympians and Paralympians who strive to achieve their dreams is incredibly powerful and can really reach out and engage our young people."

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I was wondering how other people package and manage any custom walkers they write? I wrote my first walker last week, and am now trying to figure out the best way to make it available to my team and keep it up to date with new versions of GATK. I do my development on a laptop and analysis on a cluster, so I have to sync the code somehow. I can think of two possibilities, it's unclear to me which is best:
Package a Monolithic jar
Pros: Makes distribution very easy, guarantees that there are never version compatibilities
Cons: Well, I haven't been able to do it yet. I can't quite figure out how to supply a package .xml file that will import my classes into GenomeAnalysisTK.jar (or Queue.jar, for that matter). Also, I think the version number will change when I customize it, and customers/collaborators may get confused about a non-standard version number (if they notice)
Create a "Custom Walker" jar
Pros: I know how to do it. It won't change the GATK version, so the log files won't look different
Cons: I'll have to remember to include my jar on the classpath (or set an environment variable, I suppose). It's possible to encounter version incompatibilities, for instance if I want to test 3.0 but use 2.8 for production
Now that I think it through, maybe the cons of the custom jar aren't as bad as I thought. Does anyone else have any experience with Custom Walker maintenance/deployment? How did you do it?
Hi Phil,
We have been porting GATK over to the Maven build system, which the softengs assure me will make this all much easier (starting in 3.0). We'll make sure to document the new build / distribution process. Eta next week.
You know, I've seen you mention that several times now, and I still spent several hours tracing and learning build.xml. Thanks, Geraldine - I'll table this for a day or so
The larger question stands, though - does anyone feel like they're managing custom walkers well? What kind of problems/solutions have people encountered?

Lupita Nyong'o, Kate Mara, Emilia Clarke's 'Fresh Faces' Cover Marie Claire
They were chosen for the magazine because they all have a refreshingly unique take on the world and Marie Claire is proud to celebrate each of them and all they've accomplished thus far.
Here are some highlights from the interviews:
Lupita Nyong'o on being called gorgeous: "Being called gorgeous is not a bad thing! But at the same time, I don't want to thrive on people's opinions of me."
Lupita on waiting for her category at awards shows: "I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. It's not even about the outcome; it's about the agony of the unknown. It's like waiting for test results in a hospital."
Luptia on this past year: "It was phenomenal. As brilliant as it was, onward ho. I hope that I will get to work soon. In due time, what I should do next and what I want to do next will reveal themselves. I am not in the business of trying to top this year – that's virtually impossible. I'd have to be pronounced the queen of England or something."
Kata Mara on getting rid of her red hair: "I felt relieved getting rid of red – people in my family were saying, 'Red hair is your identity – you'll ruin it!' But I'm an actor. I'd shave my head if the part called for it. I love morphing into someone different; it makes you wear makeup differently."
Elizabeth Olsen on the lifestyle she wants to have: "I definitely know what kind of lifestyle I want to have. Some people recognize you for your work, not for being pictured going to clubs. So, I try and keep that kind of profile that people know you from your work and that's it. There are some jobs that I've said no to, because I know what kind of attention they will bring. I choose not to have that specific kind of attention."
Elizabeth on whether she's the muse for her sisters' [Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen] clothing line, Elizabeth and James: "God, no. I just try and see what they do and copy them like the rest of the world does."
Elle Fanning on how she dresses: "I like to dress my age. You don't want to look too old when you're not, or too young when you're not."
Launch the gallery to see all of the covers. The May 2014 of Marie Claire is on newsstands April 22nd.

Search set Sunday in Glenville missing persons case
State police will search a wooded area behind the Price Chopper supermarket on Route 50 on Sunday in connection with a missing person case from nine years ago.
According to a state police news release, police will search starting at 9 a.m. for clues in the disappearance of Craig A. Frear, a student at Scotia-Glenville High School who went missing at the age of 17. This summer marks the ninth anniversary of his disappearance.
He disappeared after visiting a female friend at Cambridge Manor in Scotia and was last seen walking along a footpath toward the railroad tracks.
The disappearance was immediately reported by his parents, but authorities delayed alerting the media because they suspected he had ran away from home and thought news coverage would drive him farther away.
Sunday's search will be conducted by volunteers from Northeast Mobile Search & Rescue. They have helped state police and forest rangers with other searches in the past. Frear's brother, Matthew Frear, will also be involved.
Police say they have continued to investigate the disappearance in the years that followed, with interviews of family members, co-workers, neighbors and classmates.
In the spring of 2012, more than 60 people scoured along the Mohawk River, a search prompted by the discovery of a jawbone between locks 9 and 10. Even though forensic analysis confirmed the bone was not Frear's, a search was still initiated. Before that, the area had been examined in 2009.
Frear's family has posted a $10,000 reward for information that helps to find him.
Anyone with information about Frear is asked to call state police at 783-3211 or 630-1700.

EA Games: "Buyout Everything."
Extraordinaire 7 years ago#2
If you visit only the systems the story takes you through (i.e. during the idle parts you don't venture out of the system you're in) then the game only takes you to about 25 of the 45 systems. Plus, even the systems you do visit have a lot of hidden bases, wrecks and jump holes for you to find.
You don't have any objective as such but I found that finding everything I could was objective enough for me.
A good pun is its own reword
What? I didn't know there were that many freaking systems. Hmmm, finding some of those may be incentive enough.
EA Games: "Buyout Everything."
Gunbladelad 7 years ago#4
Some of the systems are only accessable by jump holes, and could be tricky to find at first.
There's also tougher ships out there, such as the Sabre and the Titan (the 2 most powerful fighters in the game). You could even revisit Magellan to buy a Dromedary Freighter if you want.
Quite a lot of the wrecks have class 10 weapons, and in 2 systems, you can even fight Nomads to get the best class 10 weapons of all (once you reach a high enough pilot level) that have a high refire rate, and zero energy usage.
Where logic won't work - I will
Assdammit you theening bud. You'll pasy for this. - NAU_Trackrunner
Extraordinaire 7 years ago#5
If you switch your map to Universe Map mode you'll see that there's lots of empty space after the story and that lots of nearby systems aren't linked up. As a rule of thumb, if systems are close together on the Universe Map, you can generally find a jump hole that connects them. Don't quote me on this, but the figure I that comes to mind is 138 jump holes in total for you to find. You only get led through a tiny handful (about 20 or so) during the story.
There are reasonably easy ways to find jump holes in systems, if you're getting frustrated looking. The Patrol Paths function on your map shows areas where ships are likely to be found. If you follow one section of a path to the end, you'll either find a continuation of the path in another direction, or something worth patrolling to and from! Quite aside from feeling good when you add a new Hole to your map, they often provide a faster way to get where you want to go even when there exists a series of Gates for your planned route - just ask any Niobium/Diamond trader.

Extraordinaire 7 years ago#6
Oh, I should mention that hunting for wrecks is a whole different kettle of fish. They're rarely found on recognised patrol routes (why did they end up wrecks?) but are well worth tracking down. The top-tier energy weapons in the game (except Nomads), as well as the most powerful mine dropper, are all (and only) found on wrecks around the Sirius sector. Good places to start are radioactive clouds and minefields - but make sure not to end up like they did!
A good pun is its own reword
To be frank.. The game takes a nose dive after you finish the story mode.. Inless you use some mods, there is little incentive to explore.. The systems are interesting at first, but they get repetitive.. Not to mention the side missions boil down to 3 extremely boring varients that never change in the least.. This game had alot of potential on the open sand box area after the game, but clearly they cut it short and made it more of a great big tease of what it should have been.. If your looking for a open sandbox like game in space, you may want to look at X3 Terran Conflict.. It has the kind of sand box stuff you can do, that I could only wish Freespace could do.. Like controling/owning hundreds of ships, including piloting capital ships.. Starting a trade empire, committing entire wars on nations with a fleet of yoru own....

i explored for a while, visited all those systems, the nomad system was intersting.
then on to mods... which adds even more stuff.
Yeah.. I haven't played the game since I asked this question. I will still go on and see what is there to explore but I really wish they had more in depth missions or options after the end. I might have to check out that X3 game.
Do yourself a favor and check out the most entertaining test of man to be filmed on television. Solitary. http://www.hulu.com/solitary#show_expander

DISGRACED, THE REVISIONIST, ALL THE WAY & More Set Sights on Broadway!
According to the New York Times, a slew of new plays are setting their sights on Broadway for the upcoming 2013-14 season. Ayad Akhtar's Pulitzer Prize-winning Disgraced might move to Broadway, starring Aasif Mandvi, who also led the LCT3 production. Additional casting is currently underway.
Another show with Broadway potential is Robert Schenkkan's All the Way, which will soon run at the American Repertory Theater starring Bryan Cranston. Bruce Norris' Domesticated will open off Broadway at Lincoln Center Theatre and could also potentially make a Broadway transfer.
Additionally, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, which recenty played in the West End, will likely make a Broadway transfer in Spring 2014. Jesse Eisenberg's The Revisionist, which starred Eisenberg and Vanessa Redgrave, is also in talks for a Broadway transfer.
Click here to read the full article.
In The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Christopher, fifteen years old, stands beside Mrs Shears' dead dog. It has been speared with a garden fork, it is seven minutes after midnight and Christopher is under suspicion. He records each fact in a book he is writing to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington. He has an extraordinary brain, exceptional at maths while ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. He has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road, he detests being touched and he distrusts strangers. But his detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a frightening journey that upturns his world.
Disgraced is the story of Amir Kapoor (Aasif Mandvi), a successful Pakistani-American lawyer who is rapidly moving up the corporate ladder while distancing himself from his cultural roots. When Amir and his wife Emily (Heidi Armbruster), a white artist influenced by Islamic paintings, host a dinner party, what starts out as a friendly conversation escalates into something far more damaging.
In All the Way, an assassin's bullet catapults Lyndon B. Johnson into the presidency. A Shakespearean figure of towering ambition and appetite, the charismatic, conflicted Texan hurls himself into Civil Rights legislation, throwing the country into turmoil. Alternately bullying and beguiling, he enacts major social programs, faces down opponents and wins the 1964 election in a landslide. But in faraway Vietnam, a troublesome conflict looms. In the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright's vivid dramatization of LBJ's first year in office, means versus ends plays out on a broad stage canvas as politicians and civil rights leaders plot strategy and wage war.
In The Revisionist David (Eisenberg) arrives in Poland with a crippling case of writer's block and a desire to be left alone. His 75-year-old second cousin Maria (Redgrave) welcomes him with a fervent need to connect with her distant American family. As their tenuous relationship develops, she reveals details about her complicated post-war past that tests their ideas of what it means to be a family.

Public health data released in Los Angeles on Thursday indicated that sixteen additional adult industry performers may have been infected with HIV since the 2004 outbreak- a number much higher than the previous count of eight.
Reports are currently conflicting, and public health officials are insisting that the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation is not complying with requests for information. The Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation, or AIM, insists anti-porn bias and media flame-fanning is behind sudden interest in the infections. From their website:
We are finding that many clients, patients, and companies are tempted to discuss this delicate matter with the world for whatever personal or professional gain. Fact is, that we are still awaiting final confirmation on the patient Zero, who was given a positive result on Saturday 6/6/09…
…as to the rumor that a negative result was given by error to an HIV positive patient who then worked and exposed others, this too, is not possible, as there was no result available either positive or negative until 6/6/09.
The LA Times is reporting the updated number of infections since the 2004 outbreak as 22- three times the number originally reported all along. Further fueling porn-industry panic are reports that for reasons not currently understood, the actress most recently reported as infected was allowed to work the day after receiving her positive result.
In a press release, the AIDS Healthcare Foundation is renewing calls for tighter adult industry regulation and reports that at the time of the 2004 outbreaks, only two out of two hundred adult film production companies required performers to use condoms. California's Occupational Safety and Health Administration is said to be "mounting a probe" regarding the recent HIV scare.

High Blood Pressure: When Is It Erectile Dysfunction?
WebMD Medical Reference
If you have high blood pressure, you may experience erectile dysfunction (ED).
For a healthy young man, erectile dysfunction is typically not a problem. As you age, however, you may notice some changes. Maybe it takes more coaxing to get erect than it used to. Sometimes it may take more direct stimulation of the penis, whereas merely a daydream or the suggestion of sex was once enough. Or perhaps your erection isn't quite as firm as it once was, but it's still good enough. These are normal changes.
So, when is it erectile dysfunction and when should you seek help? Let's consider a few scenarios:
1. You come home one evening after a long and stressful day at work. Your partner wants to have sex. You think you'd like to also, but you have a problem getting an erection. The next time you try, everything is fine.
In this case, your problem probably doesn't need medical treatment, as long as it happens rarely. If it starts to happen more often, you may want to talk to your doctor about it.
2. Sometimes when you try to have sex, you get only partially erect. Your erection isn't rigid enough to enter your partner.
In the most severe cases of erectile dysfunction, a man isn't able to get even slightly erect. But there are degrees of this condition. Even mild erectile dysfunction is worth discussing with your doctor.

The ANC in Limpopo and the Western Cape will hold their nomination conferences on Wednesday after being given the go-ahead by the national executive committee (NEC).
"We are more than ready to proceed," Limpopo spokesman Makonde Mathivha said on Tuesday.
Delegates would start registering at about 9am at the Marco Hall in Polokwane and the conference would be held at the same venue as Friday.
The province had to cancel its conference on Friday night when a group of "violent hooligans" disrupted proceedings, forcing delegates to flee the venue, Mathivha said at the time.
He claimed the event was disrupted by a group wearing T-shirts with President Jacob Zuma's face printed on them.
Mathivha said security had been beefed up for Wednesday's conference.
"Anyone who doesn't qualify (for the conference) must not even think of coming near the conference."
Limpopo, along with Gauteng, has been one of the provinces calling for change of leadership in the African National Congress.
The provincial executive committee (PEC) wanted Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe to take over from Zuma.
ANC Western Cape secretary Songezo Mjongile confirmed that the province would hold its provincial general council (PGC) in Cape Town on Wednesday.
Delegates would start registering at 1pm and the conference was expected to start by 4pm.
"We have put necessary measures in place to make sure the meeting is not disrupted," Mjongile said.
Any issues would be dealt with outside the conference by NEC deployees so that nominations could go ahead.
Among the province's NEC deployees was Minister in the Presidency Trevor Manuel, who was the convenor.
Six NEC members would be sent to the Western Cape and six to Limpopo to facilitate the conference reruns.
ANC Secretary General Gwede Mantashe said the NEC decided during its special meeting on Monday to allow the two provinces to reconvene their PGCs.
"Failure to hold these conference successfully will mean that the provinces will forfeit their right to nominate and will therefore only be able to exercise their nominating right from the floor of the conference (in Mangaung)," he said.
A nomination from the floor has to be supported by 25 percent of the conference members. - Sapa

Alot of females have small boobs and have a desire to have larger boobs but don't have thousands of dollars to have breast enlargement surgery
The need to make boobs grow larger stem from our inner need to look attractive. It is a known fact a woman's self confidence is often tied to breast size. Our appearance makes a huge difference in our lives. This may sound shallow but it's a truth. It makes a difference in how we feel about ourselves, how we appeal to the opposite sex and a female's natural instinct is to want to look attractive. If we didn't have that desire, we wouldn't spend the money we do on clothes, makeup, purses, etc. It's perfectly natural to want to make our boobs grow. It's nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about.
What can really make our boobs grow naturally? Foods, exercise and massage!
Some foods that make boobs grow are rice and pasta in moderation. Anchovies and raw eggs- I know, I know, that sounds grose. Foods that contain high amounts of estrogens such as soy products. Some examples of that type of food are tofu, dried beans, apples, carrots, cinnamon and oats. Healthy eating- not overeating foods that produce estrogen. A diet that is rich in calcium, protein, phosphorous and iron that come from eating fruits, vegetables and nuts can help your boobs grow naturally but will also keep you from gaining excess weight in other areas. Results wont happen overnight. Food, exercise and massage techniques done consistently for 6 to 8 weeks will show results.
Aside from eating the right foods to produce estrogen, there are some great exercises to help your boobs grow and keep you from gaining that excess weight that we mentioned.
* The chest press has been proven to have a direct effect on increasing breast size. The chest press is done by lying on the floor while holding a dubmbell in each hand. The dumbbells should be positioned at the shoulder with your upper arm at a 45 degree angle to the body and your elbows facing forward. Lift the dumbbells forward and upward in a small arc. This is designed to tone and firm the pectoral muscles that are located right beneath the breast. When you firm your pectoral muscles, it lifts and supports the weight of the breast and this makes boobs look and feel larger.
View more exercises here
We talked about food and exercise that need to be done but there is also a third factor - Massage
Massaging the breasts does two things that make boobs grow. It increases circulation- Phyloestrogens travel within the blood stream, the more blood flowing to your breasts; the easier it is for them to grow. Massage also produces prolactin. This breast enlarging hormone is triggered by regular stimulation of the nipple and the breast. The best way to massage your breast is by rubbing your hands together fast to generate energy and heat. Place your warm hands (oils help) on your breast. Rub inwards with your hands and continue around your boobs in a circle. Your right hand should circle in a clockwise direction and your left hand will circle counter clockwise. Do between 150 and 250 rubs in the morning and again before bed. This should only take you about 10 minutes each session

Hey there, time traveller!

In Sunlight and in Shadow
By Mark Helprin
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 720 pages, $33
It's a challenge for a writer to return to the setting of his or her masterpiece. Shakespeare, after all, wisely refrained from setting any other plays in Denmark.
In his sixth novel, Mark Helprin returns to New York City, and not just any New York City, but a variation on the larger-than-life city of villains and visionaries that he rendered so beautifully in his 1983 novel Winter's Tale.
And while In Sunlight and in Shadow approaches the rapturous lyricism of that novel, it lacks the both the earlier work's humour and inclusive embrace of humanity.
In Sunlight and in Shadow is the story of a Jewish veteran of the 82nd Airborne, freshly back from the Second World War, who discovers simultaneously the love of his life and the depths of corruption in New York.
As he is falling for an actress and heiress named Catherine Hale (using a stage name to obscure her aristocratic origins), his family business is being brutally shaken down by the Mafia, which is given free rein by a corrupt police force.
Helprin takes his time following Harry and Catherine's romance and showing Harry's growing resolution to fight the mob -- using skills we see him honing in flashback chapters set in the war.
One of the reasons it takes 700 pages to tell the story is that Harry and Catherine are two of the wordiest fictional people you'll ever meet.
Here's Harry, for example, just after meeting Catherine and talking about the beauty of the New York skyline: "It is [beautiful], when seen as a whole from certain angles at certain times of day or night. When it snows, or when you consider the souls that inhabit it. Beautiful not on account of itself, of its design, but in the way nature showers it with unexpected gifts. And the bridges, with the double catenaries, running parallel, high above the rivers ..."
It's a passage that's pure Helprin, packed with a number of his favourite tropes -- bridges, souls, the interplay of nature and the built environment. (Bridge-building was an important theme in Winter's Tale, and in the speeches that Helprin, an old-style Edmund Burke conservative, wrote for Bob Dole's Republican presidential campaign in 1996. Other thematic holdovers from his earlier work include good-hearted craftsman-capitalists, evil manipulator-capitalists, sailing, and the dignity of labour.)
There are plenty of passages like the skyline speech. Sunlight is constantly burnishing buildings and the ocean is forever changing colour to fit the mood. Harry, Catherine and Catherine's parents never hesitate to talk about death, the immortality of the soul, or courage.
As a result, it's a novel that deliberately goes against the literary tide. Helprin makes no effort to reproduce naturalistic dialogue, nor to simulate messy consciousness, nor to show his protagonists as unknowable or unreliable.
Most literary novelists would consider "sentimental" just about the worst insult that could be launched at a book, but Helprin, who takes his title from the most sentimental song in the world ("I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow," from Danny Boy) is not afraid to dedicate 700 pages to the triumph of love over fear, pain and death.
Bob Armstrong is a Winnipeg novelist and playwright.

A £1 MILLION restoration project to save a Victorian conservatory at a historic Ryedale hall has begun.
The work at Scampston Hall will protect its glasshouses, built in 1894, as well as the Gardeners' Bothies. The glasshouses are a major feature of the hall's walled garden. The work is being carried out by local contractor William Birch & Sons.
Once restored, the conservatory and bothies will be used by local schools and groups for heritage and education activities, with a community room and lecture theatre set up. Funding has come from the Heritage Lottery Fund and other organisations.
Paul Goyea, William Birch & Sons' managing director, said: "We have been working with the client's project team over the last few months on this interesting and important scheme - we have a long history of restoring heritage buildings in North Yorkshire and our team will enjoy once again working in this sensitive environment."
Caroline Legard, Scampston Conservatory Preservation Company's project leader, said: "Our vision is not only to restore this wonderful building, but to enable a wide range of people to become involved with gardening and the wider estate at Scampston."

IT's been billed as a sexy, witty and inventive take on a classic Gilbert and Sullivan's work.
People in Winchester had a taste of the latest show to hit the Theatre Royal's stage, HMS Pinafore, which has taken the west end by storm with its choreography, libretto and set staged below the deck on a World War Two ship.
The entire cast took to the streets to perform snippets of the master playwrights' work, all in a bid to promote the show which is currently running until May 10.
The story explores the age old conundrum of love between social classes.

Netflix is eyeing a January 2012 target date for its debut in a country in which illegal downloads outstrip movie ticket sales by 4-to-1. There was no announcement from the streaming and DVD rental giant, but Pedro Perez, president of the local producers association, confirmed that Netflix had contacted various Spanish producers ahead of its launch. Spain is on the International Intellectual Property Alliance's Watchlist of offenders for piracy with 400 million illegal downloads per year, compared with 100 million tickets sold in the theaters. Several attempts by local producers and distributors to provide legal downloading sites in Spain have struggled so far. Among them, Apple's iTunes store, which opened in Spain in November, has gotten off to a slow sales start.
Netflix Moving Into Piracy-Wracked Spain
7 Comments
Here in Spain EVERYBODY downloads and share films, and nobody wants to pay for watching them. It's a corrupt country in many ways, and It will be difficult for Netflix to survive.
That's true, but the Netflix offering is unmatched in the Spanish market, where legal streaming sites are much more expensive than in USA.
Don't worry, Jon, in Spain Netflix will be very expensive. As I told you, in this country the only things people knows is stealing to the clients, stealing to the service suppliers, and try to obtain everything free from the state because they deserve it.
Exact, every is more expensive in Spain. I can to buy "The Beauty and the beast" combo Blu-ray-DVD per €11 in U.K. (free shipping). In a spanish shop costs €21. Is that normal? The people buy videogames and movies in online shops of other countries.
I´am spanish, for the first (angry) poster, Do you know why people download content here in Spain?, it´s not because we are criminals or pirates, in here all music CD, DVDs, books have serious overprice, look, i never buy nothing of this in spain, i shop online in UK, even with the shipping still much cheaper than go to Fnac, withot mention the contents offer, to spain only arrives blockbusters and mainstream content, if you look for obscure movie from the 80s, dont look at spanish shops, wont find it.
About digital offer, there is not. So i think if Netflix offer in Spain is 8$ equivalent per month it will be great success.
About the article. You say that several legal downloading sites have struggled, name it, please. There's only one I can remember and almost all its movies are form outside the commercial market.
About i-tunes; I don't know in others countries, but in Spain, from 20 films I'd like to view, only 2 are listed, and none in rental. About the prices in I-Tunes: 3.99€ for SD and 4.99€ for HD, that is, $5.71 and $ 7.14. In my local dvd store, I can rent a bluray for €2. You think is strange that I-Tunes has got a slow sales start?
Finally, about Daniel. For their words you can say that has political issues. How can anyone says that EVERYBODY in a country is a thieve? That people only cares about steal from others? This country only exists in his troubled mind. There always will be people who don't want to pay for other's work, but also, there's people who want to consume culture with reasonable prices.
Does anyone know where Netflix will be based in Spain? Madrid, Barcelona?

Today's undercard pits everyone's favorite Cy Young candidate mop up reliever against everyone's second favorite diminutive starter.
Behind six shutout innings from Edinson Volquez, the Royals quieted the powerful Blue Jays lineup and took the ALCS opener by a 5-0 final. Toronto will try to salvage a split in Kansas City before heading home for the next three games.
October 15, 2015 7:31 am
And sometimes when you're on, you're really f***ing on, and your friends they sing along and they love you.
If there were any doubts as to which Johnny Cueto would show up Wednesday night in Kansas City, he started to put them to bed with his eighth pitch. He had one out in hand, but the way Jose Altuve unraveled under the spotlight of a playoff series, that had come easily. George Springer was due up next, and Cueto fell behind him 3-1. Surely, there were plenty of nervous Royals fans watching, wondering whether the problematic Cueto, who had scuffled since Kansas City acquired him in July was back—and whether that was what the end of a season looked like.

BP makes its annual stop at the K
Baseball Prospectus and the Kansas City Royals invite you to join us for a great day of baseball on Saturday, June 28 at Kauffman Stadium. Thanks to the fine folks in the Royals front office, we are proud to be able to offer our guests the following:
July 1, 2013 11:00 am
Ben and Sam discuss their technical difficulties, Alex Rios' trade value, and the origins of the surprisingly successful Pirates.
June 26, 2013 1:47 pm
Ned Yost, Alcides Escobar, and the Royals retrace their steps.
Earlier this month, I wrote an article about Ned Yost's decision to ask his front office for help in constructing a more productive lineup. That request had a happy result: a lineup that looked a lot more sensible than the one the Royals had been running out before.
June 21, 2013 5:00 am
Ben and Sam talk about a pair of All-Star candidates, then discuss Royals GM Dayton Moore's comments about Kauffman Stadium suppressing walks.
June 7, 2013 9:25 am
With the Royals struggling to score, Ned Yost looks to the stats for assistance.
"Innovation in baseball almost never accompanies talent. Innovations in baseball usually arise from those 75- to 85-win teams that are desperately trying to find a way to scratch out two more wins. We all know what wins baseball games is good baseball players. When you have the players, you're going to stick to proven strategies because you're more afraid of screwing it up than you are anxious to gain a small advantage."—Bill James, The Bill James Gold Mine 2008
On Wednesday, Sam Miller wrote about how lineup construction in baseball tends to change very slowly, if at all. Managers mostly fill out their lineup cards according to the same principles that governed their predecessors' decisions decades ago, with little regard for more recent research that's revealed some of those decisions to be suboptimal. For example, although Sam found some circumstantial evidence that this might be beginning to change, the no. 2 hitter still tend to be a team's best bat-control guy, not its best, well, batter.

June 7, 2013 5:00 am
Ben and Sam discuss the mystery of mock drafts, how Joey Votto might age, the kinds of information scouts can trust, and the Royals' lineup evolution.

Lindsay Lohan Hates Her Mom Now
In what has to be the first legitimate sign that Lindsay Lohan is getting the help she needs, she's finally tired of her mom's bullshit. TMZ reports:
Sources connected with Lindsay tell TMZ Lindsay told her mom not to go on "Today" last week. When Dina defied her and yakked with Matt Lauer, Lindsay was "furious."
Our sources say ever since the interview Lindsay has been wary of her mom and is beginning to understand her antics are part of the reason she has so many problems. The flip side, sources say, is that Lindsay is beginning to realize Dina's demonization of Michael is not a true picture — that both parents share the blame.
Of course, the easy – and admittedly valid – argument here is that Lindsay is still blaming others for her problems, but, c'mon, have you actually seen these people? They'd photograph Ali peeing if Harvey Levin promised to silently mouth their names somewhere in the TMZ building. "So, what you're saying, Harv, is a television camera might be nearby when you do it? — I'll go get the Polaroid."

This is one of the videos we've shown at BlackHat Barcelona. It shows how well the new Named Entity Recognition (NER) transforms perform.
We start with a phrase ('uranium enrichment'), then look at PDF documents containing the phrase, run the OpenCalias and Alchemy API for NER on it, ending up with a graph that shows person's names, locations and companies - all in a Edge Weighted View (EWV) graph with referring URLs. Finally we compare the top locations found with what's listed on Wikipedia. The video is rather large (150 MB) but shows Maltego v3 in HD and should be worth watching.
The NER transforms are currently available on both the commercial and community Transform Application Servers (TAS) - you just need to follow the transform discovery wizard to get them.
Have fun and if you have a lot of fun - take photos...;)
PS: yes - some parts of the video have been sped up to avoid boredom and a larger file.

Goetz: More dialogue needed on Fighting Sioux nickname
MAYVILLE - A direction on how to proceed with the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux nickname should be more clear when a new president assumes office in July.
North Dakota University System Chancellor Bill Goetz said the issue should not be placed on the shoulders of incoming president Robert Kelley.
Goetz gave a report to the state Board of Higher Education Thursday after meeting with Standing Rock Chairman Ron His Horse Is Thunder and having extensive phone conversations with Spirit Lake Chairwoman Myra Pearson.
A settlement with the NCAA gives the state three years to gain approval from the two tribes for the Fighting Sioux nickname or begin retiring it.
Goetz said he will continue to be the liaison between the board and the tribes on the issue.
He said opening the doors of communication with tribal leaders was the first step toward reaching a resolution.
Goetz plans to continue the dialogue and wants to involve a small group of people from other constituencies, including UND and the Ralph Engelstad Arena.
Although some tribal leaders have said attempts to gain approval of the nickname would be a waste of time, Goetz said it would be irresponsible to retire the nickname without dialogue.
Tribal leaders told Goetz they have felt pressure on the nickname issue, which he said he will not tolerate.
"We have to let the tribes make their own decisions," Goetz said.
The nickname issue is becoming increasingly emotional and divisive for American Indians and non-Indians, Goetz said.
Board President John Q. Paulsen said Goetz should continue his work and report back to the board.
In other business:
*Board members unanimously approved requests from development foundations at North Dakota State University and UND to issue 30-year bonds for presidents' homes. William Marcil and his wife, Jane, have pledged $1 million to each campus through their charitable foundation to fund the projects. The financing of the projects also will leave each university with significant scholarship endowments. The recommendation will now go before the Legislature's Budget Section.
*Board members set the salary range for the next Lake Region State College president at $130,000 to $165,000. The board is meeting Wednesday to interview two finalists and name a president.

There's only one word to describe this couple: hilarious. Angela loves to nag and Marcus has no choice but to cooperate. All of the baby mama drama in the world can't keep two of Tyler Perry's most memorable creations apart.

Artists working with Ninuku Arts come from Kalka and
Pipalyatjara communities in the western part of the "APY
Lands" in the far north of South Australia. The descriptions
below of the communities follow closely the text from the
APY Lands Website.
These two communities, fourteen kilometres apart, are surrounded by the Tomkinson Ranges and are part of the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands, to which freehold title was granted in 1981.
Kalka and Pipalyatjara each have populations of around 100-150 Anangu ('people' in Pitjantjatjara) and are serviced by a school, TAFE, clinic and the Ninuku Arts. The language of this part of the Lands is Pitjantjatjara. 'Ninu' is the bilby, an important part of the area's Tjukurpa (dreaming).
Kalka Community is located in the far Northwest
of South Australia, just a few kilometres from where Western
Australia, South Australia and Northern Territory meet. It
is approximately 490 kms from Alice Springs and is the largest
community west of Amata in the APY Lands.
Kalka is the administrative and residential centre for Pitjantjatjara
Homelands Council (PHC), an incorporated Aboriginal organisation.
PHC grew out of the Aboriginal homelands movement of the 1970s
when Anangu left the missions and government settlements to
the east and west and returned to their traditional country.
Many Anangu had been brought into or were attracted into these
settlements during the 1950s and 1960s when the Australian
Government ran atomic bomb and rocket tests at Woomera and
Kalka was originally planned as a resource centre for surrounding
homelands but by the early 1990s it had developed into a small
Aboriginal community with the full range of housing, infrastructure
and service needs.
The population of Kalka is around 150 Anangu fluctuating
up to 200 depending on season and circumstances. The homeland
areas, covering approximately 4,000 square kilometres, continue
to be of central importance culturally as well as being a
resource for tourism, mining and other development.
On the road between Kalka and Amata
Pipalyatjara is a small Anangu community
located 15 kms south of Kalka. A local store provides for
Pipalyatjara and Kalka communities. Pipalyatjara was formerly known as Mount Davies after the highest local peak. The semi-precious stone Chrysoprase was mined at Pipalyatjara until recently. The town's population is approximately 140-150 people.
In 1971 a small group of people moved 190kms west of Amata (a large established settlement) to a place called Puta Puta, 24kms to the east of what was to become Pipalyatjara. The group was made up of a number of old men who had traditional ties to the area and responsibilities for various totemic sites. By 1975 there were 33 people at the Pipalyatjara Camp. This movement of the Anangu west, into their homelands, was one of the first movements of people out of the church and government settlements back into the country of their grandparents.

Jakarta Gov. Joko Widodo leading Indonesian presidential election, but rival is not conceding
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) -- Jakarta Gov. Joko Widodo held a narrow but steady lead Wednesday in Indonesia's presidential election, according to quick-count results, but his Suharto-era opponent said he had poll data showing him ahead, setting up the prospect of a contested outcome in the still-fragile democracy.
The more reputable quick counts showed Widodo ahead with about 52 percent of the vote, while Prabowo Subianto had around 48 percent, with 80 percent of the votes tallied. The quick counts tally a representative sample of votes cast around the country and have accurately forecast the results of Indonesian national elections since 2004. It will be around two weeks before votes are officially tallied and the results announced in the country of 240 million people.
"At the time being, the quick counts show that Jokowi-Kalla is the winner," Widodo, known by his nickname Jokowi, told a news conference, referring to his vice-presidential running mate, Jusuf Kalla.
As supporters of Jokowi claimed victory, Subianto's campaign chief, Mohammad Mahfud, said that three internal quick-count results showed Subianto was ahead. He called on supporters to remain calm as the votes continued to be counted.
"Thank God, all the data from the quick counts shows that we, Prabowo-Hatta, gained the people's trust," Subianto told a news conference, referring to his running mate, Hatta Rajasa.
Tensions over conflicts in Syria, Iraq push Arab soccer fans to watch World Cup on Israeli TV
BEIRUT (AP) -- With the World Cup in faraway Brazil coming at a time of unprecedented sectarian violence and soaring tension in the Middle East, some Arab football fans have been reduced to watching matches in secret or even -- and this is where it gets complicated -- on a TV channel owned by Israel.
Since the World Cup kicked off three weeks ago, Sunni Muslim extremists have seized territory in Iraq and Syria and declared an Islamic state. Lebanon has been hit by a spate of suicide bombings. Israelis and Palestinians were pushed to full conflict after the murders of four teenagers. Egypt's political divide grew wider as hundreds of people charged with supporting the ousted Muslim Brotherhood group were convicted of terrorism-related crimes -- including three journalists for Qatar-owned Al-Jazeera network.
Many accuse the Doha-based network of editorial bias in favor of the now banned Islamic group in Egypt and of Sunni insurgents fighting Shiite-dominated governments in Syria and Iraq.
Qatar's media conglomerate owns broadcasting rights to the World Cup in the Middle East, charging viewers from $110 to $320 for a three-month subscription that includes the 64 World Cup matches -- a tournament that should have been a welcome escape for millions of football fans.
Most fans can't afford to pay for the satellite broadcasts of the World Cup, which was previously shown around the region on state free-to-air channels. Some Egyptians refuse to subscribe to Qatar's channel for political reasons.
Obama to address immigration crisis in Texas, but won't visit US-Mexico border
For President Barack Obama, the humanitarian crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border is increasingly becoming a political liability, giving Republicans a fresh opportunity to question his administration's competence and complicating the debate over the nation's fractured immigration laws.
Still, Obama is resisting calls to visit the border during his two-day fundraising trip to Texas, where he arrives late Wednesday afternoon. Instead, Obama will hold a meeting hundreds of miles away in Dallas to discuss the crisis with faith leaders and Texas officials, including Republican Gov. Rick Perry.
Obama's trip comes one day after he asked Congress for $3.7 billion in emergency spending to get more resources to the border.
The roundtable discussion in Dallas is seen by the White House as a way to address the immigration issue while avoiding awkward optics at the border. Tens of thousands of unaccompanied children have arrived there in recent months, many fleeing violence in Central America, but also drawn by rumors that they can stay in the U.S. White House officials say most are unlikely to qualify for humanitarian relief and will be sent back to their home countries.
Obama's decision to skip a border visit is likely to provide more fodder for the Republicans and the handful of Democrats who say the president hasn't responded quickly and forcefully enough to the mounting crisis.
Answers to key questions about UN push to get US to treat young immigrants as refugees
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- Pressure continues to mount on the federal government to treat as refugees the thousands of children traveling alone from Central America and crossing the border into the U.S.
Officials from the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees told The Associated Press this week that they hoped the U.S. and Mexico will consider the children refugees displaced by armed conflict, meaning they would not automatically be sent back to their home countries but receive international protection.
Many of the 50,000 young people who have arrived unaccompanied since last fall fled violence in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.
Would-be refugees and asylum seekers must navigate a complex system. Here are some answers to key questions about the process:
Hundreds line up at Washington pot shops as state begins legal marijuana sales
SEATTLE (AP) -- Surrounded by thousands of packages of marijuana, Seattle's top prosecutor sought some advice: Which one should he buy?
A new day, indeed.
Twenty months after voters legalized recreational cannabis for adults over 21, Washington state's first few licensed pot shops opened for business Tuesday, catering to hundreds of customers who lined up outside, thrilled to be part of the historic moment.
The pot being sold at four stores in Seattle, Bellingham, Prosser and Spokane was regulated, tested for impurities, heavily taxed and in short supply -- such short supply that several other shops couldn't open because they had nothing to sell.
Pete Holmes, Seattle's elected city attorney and a main backer of the state's recreational marijuana law, said he wanted to be one of the first customers to demonstrate there are alternatives to the nation's failed drug war.
For young nuke warriors, responsibility for fearsome Minuteman missiles 'weighs on your mind'
BERTHOLD, N.D. (AP) -- 1st Lt. Andy Parthum spends his workday 60 feet below ground awaiting the order he hopes never arrives: to launch the most powerful weapon ever devised by man. He is a nuclear "missileer" -- an airman who does his duty not in the air but in a hole in the ground.
On both counts -- the possibility of firing weapons that could kill millions, and the subterranean confinement -- a missileer lives with pressures few others know. It's not active combat, although the Air Force calls them combat crew members. Yet no one can exclude the possibility, remote as it may be, that one day a president will deliver the gut-wrenching order that would compel a missileer to unleash nuclear hell.
"Absolutely, it weighs on your mind," Parthum, 25, said on a recent afternoon at Juliet-01, a Minuteman 3 missile launch site on a small patch of prairie 9 miles from the village of Berthold and about 25 miles west of Minot Air Force Base, whose 91st Missile Wing controls 150 of the nation's 450 Minuteman missiles.
It may come as a surprise to some that the Air Force still operates intercontinental ballistic missiles, or ICBMs. And therein lies part of the problem for missileers, who feel underappreciated in a military that has long since shifted its main focus to fighting small wars, striking with unmanned drones and countering terrorism and cyberattacks.
Parthum, however, says he takes pride in his role.
VA official on retaliation claims: 'I apologize to everyone whose voice has been stifled'
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A top official at the Veterans Affairs Department says he is sorry that VA employees have suffered retaliation after making complaints about poor patient care, long wait times and other problems.
James Tuchschmidt, the No. 2 official at the Veterans Health Administration, the VA's health care arm, apologized on behalf of the department at a congressional hearing Tuesday night.
"I apologize to everyone whose voice has been stifled," Tuchschmidt said after listening to four VA employees testify for nearly three hours about VA actions to limit criticism and strike back against whistleblowers. "That's not what I stand for. I'm very disillusioned and sickened by all of this."
A federal investigative agency said Tuesday it was examining 67 claims of retaliation by VA supervisors against employees who filed whistleblower complaints -- including 25 complaints filed since June 1, after a growing health care scandal involving long patient waits and falsified records at VA hospitals and clinics became public.
The independent Office of Special Counsel said 30 of the complaints about retaliation have passed the initial review stage and were being investigated further for corrective action and possible discipline against VA supervisors and other executives. The complaints were filed in 28 states at 45 separate facilities, Special Counsel Carolyn Lerner said.
Government says it made $100 billion in improper payments last year -- half by Medicare
WASHINGTON (AP) -- By its own estimate, the government made about $100 billion in payments last year to people who may not have been entitled to receive them -- tax credits to families that didn't qualify, unemployment benefits to people who had jobs and medical payments for treatments that might not have been necessary.
Congressional investigators say the figure could be even higher.
The Obama administration has reduced the amount of improper payments since they peaked in 2010. Still, estimates from federal agencies show that some are wasting big money at a time when Congress is squeezing agency budgets and looking to save more.
"Nobody knows exactly how much taxpayer money is wasted through improper payments, but the federal government's own astounding estimate is more than half a trillion dollars over the past five years," said Rep. John Mica, R-Fla. "The fact is, improper payments are staggeringly high in programs designed to help those most in need -- children, seniors and low-income families."
Mica chairs the House Oversight subcommittee on government operations. The subcommittee is holding a hearing on improper payments Wednesday afternoon.
Israel hits key Hamas targets in Gaza Strip in second day of offensive
JERUSALEM (AP) -- The Israeli army on Wednesday intensified its offensive on the Hamas-run Gaza Strip, striking Hamas sites and killing at least 8 people on the second day of a military operation it says is aimed at quenching rocket fire against Israel.
The offensive has set off the heaviest fighting between Israel and the Islamic militant group Hamas since an eight-day battle in November 2012. Militants unleashed rocket salvos deep into Israeli territory, and Israel mobilized thousands of forces along the Gaza border for a possible ground invasion into the Palestinian territory.
Since the offensive began Tuesday, Israel has attacked more than 400 sites in Gaza, killing at least 32 people. The strikes from air and sea came after militants fired more than 160 rockets at Israel, including one that reached the northern Israeli city of Hadera for the first time. The city is about 100 kilometers (60 miles) from Gaza.
The army said it attacked more than 160 sites in Gaza early Wednesday, including 118 concealed rockets launching sites, six Hamas compounds -- including naval police and national security compounds -- 10 militant command centers, weapons storage facilities and 10 tunnels used for militant activity and to ferry supplies in from Egypt. The border between Gaza and Egypt has effectively been closed for months.
Gaza health official Ashraf Al-Kedra said Wednesday's airstrikes killed one militant in south Gaza, as well as an Islamic Jihad operative, his mother, and four siblings in northern Gaza. Another man was killed on a motorcycle, but his identity was not immediately known.
Drought in southwest drops water levels at Nevada's Lake Mead reservoir to historic lows
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Drought in the southwestern U.S. will deplete the vast Lake Mead this week to levels not seen since Hoover Dam was completed and the reservoir on the Colorado River was filled in the 1930s, federal water managers said Tuesday.
The projected lake level of about 1,080 feet above sea level will be below the level of about 1,082 feet recorded in November 2010 and the 1,083-foot mark measured in April 1956 during another sustained drought.
But U.S. Bureau of Reclamation regional chief Terry Fulp said water obligations will be met at least through next year without a key shortage declaration. The result will be full deliveries to cities, states, farms and Indian tribes in an area that's home to some 40 million people and the cities of Las Vegas, Phoenix and Los Angeles.
"We continue to closely monitor the projections of declining lake levels and are working with stakeholders throughout the Lower Basin to keep as much water in Lake Mead as we can through various storage and conservation efforts," Fulp said in a statement.
The lake on Tuesday was just under 1,082 feet above sea level, and the reservoir was about 39 percent full, said Rose Davis, a bureau spokeswoman in Boulder City, Nevada.

BUENOS AIRES – Ever since World War II, the countries of Latin America have served as something of a currency laboratory. Across the region, countless exchange-rate regimes have been tried – some succeeding, others failing abysmally.
In all cases, however, exchange-rate policies have played a central role in determining these countries' overall macroeconomic results. And today, after two turbulent decades, they seem to be converging toward a more unified and sustainable framework.
The 1980's was a harrowing decade for most Latin American countries. The second oil shock and high international interest rates, coupled with a lack of foreign investment, led to significant internal and external imbalances and high levels of foreign debt. In all the major countries, this resulted in defaults, significant and continuous exchange-rate adjustments, and, by the end of the decade, a severe inflation/devaluation spiral, bordering, in some cases, on hyperinflation.
These traumatic events set the stage for Latin America's two-decade-long currency roller coaster. That experience was marked by the attempt to use a fixed exchange-rate regime as the main policy instrument to control inflation; that attempt's colossal failure; and the shift, over the last decade, to more flexible regimes, freeing the exchange rate from playing a central role in controlling inflation, but not necessarily allowing a pure float in world currency markets.

The Muppets and OK Go Take Fans Behind the Scenes of Upcoming Video
In celebration of the upcoming 'Muppets: The Green Album' collaborative LP, OK Go and the Muppets filmed a video for the record's title track, the 'Muppet Show Theme Song.' Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Pepe the King Prawn and many more are joining the foursome for a colorful, fun-filled video that travels through time.
The guys from OK Go get some backstage assistance from various characters from the Jim Henson series as they explain the video concept. Along with Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem member Floyd Pepper, OK Go member Andy Ross says, "OK Go the band is gonna start to play a crazy instrument and think something goes wrong," as the rocker puppet interjects, "Something goes awry!" The video then consists of a montage of OK Go's dazzling previous videos with the Muppets joining them for the ride.
'Muppets: The Green Album' will hit retailers tomorrow, Aug. 23, and also features Amy Lee of Evanescence, Paramore, and the Fray. With Jason Segel's new Muppets movie 'Green With Envy' impacting theaters Nov. 23, it's no wonder there is so much Muppet buzz occurring. We fully welcome this Muppets craze — we cannot get enough of those wacky, loveable creatures.
