WASHINGTON, DC – China's government is cracking down hard on Western journalists, threatening not to renew visas for reporters from the New York Times and Bloomberg in retaliation for their reporting on the corruption of senior Chinese officials. Times columnist Thomas Friedman recently penned an open letter to the Chinese government telling them that, because the top "cause of death of Chinese regimes in history is greed and corruption," a free press is more likely to help than hurt.
Anyone who holds freedom of the press and freedom of expression to be universal human rights will agree with Friedman's position. But, in China, politics – including the politics of rights – is always intertwined with economics.
Last month, President Xi Jinping announced a set of sweeping economic reforms at the Central Committee's Third Plenum, setting forth his vision of "the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation." His 60-point plan included reforms of fiscal policy and the financial sector that would set market interest rates on loans and deposits, permit some private-investor participation in state-owned enterprises, increase the role of small and medium-size enterprises, loosen labor restrictions, and introduce property taxes to boost revenue for local authorities.
This renewed embrace of the market, reminiscent of Deng Xiaoping's original turn to capitalism in 1979, will be hard medicine for China's entrenched business and government elites to swallow. If Xi's administration is successful – a big if – its reforms may enable China to negotiate the necessary transition from an economy driven by exports and government investment to a more sustainable growth model based on domestic consumption.

City should reconsider projects, staff cuts
Largo city budget information online addresses upcoming issues and suggests more cuts to staff, along with other cuts. Why, then, are the following items happening?
1. With the budget getting tighter and employees losing their jobs, you now pick this time to borrow money for a community center? We can get the community center when the economy gets better and we have the money to pay for it. Please do not borrow the money for this project. Are Mary Gray Black and Curtis Holmes the only ones on the City Commission with any sense?
2. $90,000 for an art project? Please tell me you are using some kind of grant money for this. I am a big fan of all artists, but it is not the right time to support this project, and especially an out-of-town artist, with local tax dollars.
3. How much money was wasted building, then tearing down, the clock tower?
4. Please make sure no city employee will be working on the Mayor's Golf Tournament set for April 9. If it is staffed by volunteers and the mayor is not using city paid time to play golf, then this event is okay. Otherwise, if you want to have this kind of function, then it should be staffed by volunteers.
I appreciate the hard work the commissioners do, but please step back and rethink some of your decisions. The Largo budget needs to stay balanced, our tax money spent wisely and it's important to keep city employees employed.
Terry Murphy, Largo
The budget battle: to cut $60 million |story, Feb. 24
County spends more than we can afford
It strikes me that Pinellas County government, especially since this last real estate bull market, has become ravenous for revenue, with only the concept of more revenue quenching their thirst, on a very temporary basis.
Most logical citizens are perplexed by the sheriff's statements suggesting that if his department receives anything less than the full bloated budget request that we are likely to somehow be significantly less safe than we are now.
Doubling budgets in 15 years — most people ask themselves if their incomes have doubled in the last 15 years. Most respond no. Then why should county governments?
Most people not blinded by the process ask themselves these logical questions. You would be doing the citizens a valuable service by asking for the answers to these questions and the more intelligent ones your journalists are likely to ask.

Ulmerton-Ridge crossing a nightmare
There is no pedestrian traffic light at the intersection of Ulmerton and Ridge roads. To cross that intersection on foot or with a bike is an absolute nightmare. What was in the planner's mind when it was built?

Imran khan and Avantika Malik, the celebrity couple who are eagerly waiting for their firstborn in June is more than happy. Imran Khan took his wife Avantika for a Babymoon last month is not committed to any movies as of now. The actor is seen only shooting for commercials and reading scripts.
Imran Khan is fully dedicated to his wife and spends his time at home in Pali Hill, Mumbai. He confesses that he loves Avantika a lot. Earlier in an interview when asked about becoming a father, he had said, "Films will come and go, your child, your son or daughter's childhood... that is going to happen only once. At that time screw the film man! Take six months off. Picture agley saal banate hai. What is the rush?"
"As I see it, I would take time off, I would be around and be a part of it, experience fatherhood first-hand rather than be running off to a film set and leaving the kid at home. That is the way I want to do it", said the Delhi Belly actor.
Imran Khan is also busy shopping for his baby like bottles, clothes, games etc.. As he wants to prove himself, he is practicing a lot of things to be a hands-on father.
We wish Imran and Avantika a beautiful journey together in their parenthood.

European - Selling European animation - Drawing the battle lines
Television looms large over European animation. "The biggest problem in selling animation in Europe is that the market is primarily for (TV) series - 30-minute episodes," says Czech-based producer and sales agent John Riley, who has sold the work of Czech master Jan Svankmajer.

Brooklyn Center's Economic Development Authority is considering the acquisition of the former Cars for Courage building and parking lot at 6121 Brooklyn Blvd.
The authority, which includes Mayor Tim Willson and the Brooklyn Center City Council, heard a proposal last week from the owner of the property, presented by Business and Development Director Gary Eitel.
Bob Kagel, of Kagel Acquisition Co., originally acquired the property in January 2009 for $1.5 million. It was first operated as a Cars for Heart dealership and then Cars for Courage until June 1.
Cars for Courage accepts donated vehicles to sell and uses the proceeds to support programs for children and adults with disabilities. The Courage Center, which operates Cars for Courage, recently merged with the Sister Kenny Rehabilitation Institute. As part of the merger, Cars for Courage was moved to the Courage Center's main location in Golden Valley, said Director of In-Kind Giving Kelly Buttler.
The relocation provides the Courage Center with the opportunity to show people who donate vehicles what their contribution helps support, Buttler said.
Now, the city has the opportunity for redevelopment of another area along Brooklyn Boulevard from Interstate 94 to 49th Avenue.
Funds are available for the city to acquire the property through one of its Tax Increment Financing districts, Eitel said.
Tax increment financing (TIF) is available to cities to use property taxes from development or redevelopment to pay for new projects, according to the League of Minnesota Cities.
The value of a property purchased through TIF and redeveloped is the difference between its tax capacity and revenues before and after construction, according to the League of Minnesota Cities. The taxes paid on the value are used to cover the acquisition and demolition costs incurred by the city.
Cars for Courage is within Brooklyn Center's third TIF district, which includes the Brooklyn Boulevard/69th Avenue area and the Willow Lane/Highway 252 area.
The district was established in 1994. State law requires that 15 percent of the revenues from the district be deposited in the Economic Development Authority's housing development account, Eitel said.
Projects funded through that account must provide more housing in Brooklyn Center, he said.
If the city acquires it, Eitel said the Cars for Courage site has potential to be used for senior housing, including independent and assisted living.
"Right now, we're looking at housing opportunities that would be available for future development," Eitel said. "There will be a need to expand or replace senior housing opportunities for independent living and assisted care."
The city has already used the housing development account in the third TIF district to purchase and demolish a single-family home at 6101 Brooklyn Blvd. The home was on a property adjoining the Cars for Courage site.
Brooklyn Boulevard is an ideal location for senior housing because of its proximity to public transportation, retail, churches and medical services, Eitel said. Plans for the Brooklyn Boulevard corridor include adding more pedestrian-friendly amenities, he said
According to Eitel's presentation last week, there is approximately $8.5 million available for projects funded through the third TIF district until 2021.
If the Economic Development Authority approves the property acquisition and purchase agreement, the next step would involve building demolition and parking lot removal, Eitel said.
"It's exciting, it's one more step where the city has the ability to shape it's future," Eitel said.
He is working to have a purchase agreement presented to the authority on Monday, Sept. 9.
Mayor Willson said the proposal for the Cars for Courage acquisition fits in with the model of Brooklyn Boulevard corridor. If it were redeveloped into senior housing, that would be even better, he said.
"We know we have a shortage of that in Brooklyn Center," Willson said.
Residents want to stay in Brooklyn Center as they retire and get older, but the housing options are not available, he said.
"I think it's a great opportunity," Willson said about the Cars for Courage site. "It fits in with everything we've been doing the last seven years in redeveloping and rejuvenating Brooklyn Center," Willson said.

Get UK Law Questions Answered by Verified Experts
Yes, They accepted the evidence against her as correct. But, the judge failed to do the maths correctly. He just concentrated on the UK assets and divided 50%/50%. The gold, 2 flats and the documentary evidence that she deliberately lied to the court not taken into account.
I made clear that I will appeal against the judgement, the court yes you can but you have to pay cost.
Yes, only partially.
His judgment was based on these figures:
My pension £116,000
Matrimonial home in Newcastle £110,000-£120,000
Cairo flat £60,000 awarded to her
Sudan property £60,000 (authenticated estimate from Ministry of Justice) is only £15,000
The judge to cancel out overseas assets
The judge has ignored gold and Jewellery worth £80,000, although she admitted selling every thing during the court procedures.
I and my legal time brought some evidence including she in 2005 changed her marital status to single on her Egyptian ID. The judge accepted the validity of the evidence, but still calculated the pension duration from 2001 to 2009, it should have been 2005 based on the ID card.
Does dishonesty be rewarded in court? I have lost every thing by her deception.
Do you think I have a good chance for my appeal to be accepted by the judge.
If the appeal is successful at this stage, then I am planning to go to Egypt to obtain new evidence about her other assets when situation there is back to normal.
The only said it was unfair and she was able to manipulate the system to her favour for 4 years. But, I have not asked them then about the appeal, as I used their service intermittently and I was self represented most of the time because of lack of funds.
Do you think I should seek legal advice before considering I submit my appeal notice and have the scrutinised by a solicitor?
The Appeal notice should not include any new evidence. At this stage the judge will examine if I think the court made a mistake or there was a procedural problem. In my opinion, the court ignored the documentary evidence. If the judge agrees with my arguments and then the case can proceed further and I am allowed then to bring new evidence that was not used before in court. Therefore, at this stage is for me to prove that the judgement was unjust. That what I have been told by the court staff and the leaflets accompanying the forms.
Is that right?
Sorry for the confusion. I was under the wrong impression that I needed to go to Egypt to obtain new evidence and then I can appeal. But that was not the case. After all I am not too late to appeal as the other side sent me the legal documents only in Mid September after long delays since the hearing in May. Now I have 11 days to appeal using the same evidence available to the court now until the day of the final judgement, My reasons for the appeal are the division is wrong and is based on false calculations and assumptions. The court did not take any notice about the bad conduct and lack of credibility of my ex-wife when making the judgement, even when the court had accepted all my evidence and rejected many of hers.
The court sent me on Friday 3 copies of the form "Appellant's notice". I have 14 days to complete the forms and to pay court fees. I was told the appeal will be decided by a judge.
Please, would you let me know what the forms are for. The court staff told me by telephone that my written request was reviewed and I am allowed to appeal. Therefore, I am now been asking for your advice based on this new information.
Thanks a lot for your help.

It is not beneficial to only those on phen, but to anyone - and anyone on a diet trying to lose weight.
* Assists digestion, absorption and assimilation of food. If you don't drink enough water you can't get the full benefit of nutrients in the food you eat.
* Assists excretion of waste from bowel and kidneys. If you don't drink enough water you get constipated and put your kidneys under stress.
* Regulates body temperature. If you don't drink enough water you compromise the evaporation process you skin uses to keep you cool.
* Your blood is 92% water. This is your body's transport system distributing nutrients around the body.
* Body secretions and digestive juices are almost entirely water.
Why should you drink water when you want to lose weight?
Water is a natural appetite suppressant . Do NOT underestimate the power of this statement. Lack of water can lead to over eating. You brain does not differentiate between hunger and thirst. So, when you think you are feeling hungry, your body may in fact be signalling to you that you are thirsty! If you are not consuming enough water each day and you feel hunger pains, chances are, your body really is crying out for water. In many instances people will find what they thought were hunger pangs were in fact, satisfied by water. Try it! You have nothing to lose, except some weight.
How do you know whether you are drinking enough water each day? Well the answer is not difficult. The average person needs around 6-8 large glasses every day.
Well then, how should you drink the 6-8 glasses per day? The aim is to drink water consistently. If you drink too much all at once or too fast, it will simply pass through you, with little or no benefit to your body.
If you are someone who enjoys the 'taste' of water, then perhaps you could fill a 1 litre empty soft drink container with water the drink through it twice during the day. Room temperature or cold water, even warm as some people like - whatever you prefer. Place it on the desk at work in front of you as a constant reminder to sip continuously throughout the day.
Other people find they need a water 'diet' to help them keep on track. So for you, here is a program easily followed to ensure you are well hydrated every single day.
1. When you wake up you will often be thirsty because your body loses water while you are sleeping through breathing and perspiration. Drink a large glass of water with a slice of lemon for zing.
2. Drink another glass of water with breakfast or a cup of herbal tea before setting off the day.
3. Mid morning - snack on a piece of juicy fruit such as orange, rockmelon, watermelon, cantaloupe, honey dew. Have a glass of water and perhaps try a dash of herbal aloe juice which is wonderfully soothing to the digestive system.
4. Lunch - think of soup or have a glass of water before your meal, or perhaps a herbal tea.
5. Mid afternoon - While you are preparing your evening meal, drink a glass of water and snack on some crunchy fresh vegetables.
6. Evening - Sip a glass of water before your meal with a dash of your favourite fruit juice for flavour.
7. After dinner - before bedtime drink your final glass of water and sleep well!
A few changes will happen when you start out with your water program. Obviously you may find that you need to 'spend a penny' more often. Why? Because you body isn't used to being well hydrated.
There is absolutely is no doubt about it. When you start drinking enough water regularly, there are great benefits. You may notice your skin significantly improve and even tired muscles will thank you. Many people find their energy is increased and constipation and headaches are reduced, as well as hunger pains.
Now here's the really exciting part - many people notice a reduction in weight, as their body's water store become redundant and so decrease. If your diet has been one that did not provide you with adequate water, your body will have developed a pattern of storing water. It's part of the body's in-built survival mechanism - to store up the essential nutrients in short supply - just in case they aren't available in the future. So if you don't drink enough water, you are 'conditioning' your body to store water.
It's so simple...drink water! 6-8 large glasses a day.
How do you know if you are not getting enough water each day? This is a really important question because so many of us have deprived ourselves of water for years that we have become accustomed to doing without the full amount of water our body requires and we don't recognise the symptoms of thirst.
* The most common symptom is headaches. A major function of water is to flush toxins from the body. Your brain is 75% water, so even being slightly dehydrated can cause headaches.
* Poor concentration/fatigue. If you body can't get rid of the toxins it will struggle and you will feel less energetic as your body diverts energy to deal with the toxins.
* Constipation. Your body will divert water to more essential functions and as a result your stools will be harder and more difficult to expel.
* Reduced urine output or dark urine. Did you know that up to 200 litres of water is passed through your kidneys daily? Without a fresh supply of water for the kidneys to filter waste products out of the blood, your urine will become darker.
* Furry tongue or bad breath. If you don't have enough water passing through the mouth to wash away food particles, bacteria can proliferate and result in that 'furry' feeling or bad breath.
* Skin. Your skin should feel elastic. When you pinch the skin on the back of your hand it should snap back instantly.

LOL Hey!! It was the only way to get warm!!
Hmm.. I was skinnier then, too! LOL
I'm not going to sit here and pretend to know why water helps, it just DOES. I lose more when I drink water. Actually, I don't think I lose at all without water.
Yes, when I am drinking a lot of water, I notice that the weight seems to come off faster. Also, watch your sodium intake...
As you think, so shall you be...

Gosport Fire Chief Addresses Recent Recommendation By Town Attorney
(Editor's Note: The following was written by former Gosport Volunteer Fire Department Chief Ron Neibel Jr. in response to an article entitled, "Gosport Town Council Demands Fire Chief Turn Over Funds Or Turn Over Badge" published on the front page of the Thursday, July 9, edition of the Spencer Evening World.)
"I would just like to clarify and give some background to Mr. English's recommendation and the Town Board of Gosport's approval of that recommendation. The article written by Amanda York in the Spencer Evening World reports the events of the town board meeting on Tuesday July 7, accurately, 100 percent. Without the full detail of the situation being discussed at the town board meeting and not knowing the entirety of the situation, this incident could mislead in a negative way on my behalf.
"Approximately six weeks ago the Town Board of Gosport called an executive meeting with the fire department administration. At the meeting, the town wanted to discuss their concerns with fire department funds. The funds being discussed is a checking account in the name of the Gosport Volunteer Fire Department. This account is made up of fund-raising money and donations given to the fire Department. This account is separate from the Town of Gosport's General Fund in which tax dollars are kept for fire department operation.
"The Gosport Volunteer Fire Department Fund-Raising Account has been in existence prior to my membership to the Gosport Volunteer Fire Department twelve years ago. I do not have any direct ties to this account other than a vote among the membership to determine how the money is to be spent. My name is not, and has not ever been on this account. I do not have any authority over the account. The Gosport Volunteer Fire Department is dependant upon this fund-raising account and in the past year it has provided more money to the department than the budget given to the fire department by the Town Board of Gosport.
"At the conclusion of the executive meeting it was agreed by both parties, the Town Board of Gosport and the Gosport Volunteer Fire Department, that once the town board opened a new account at the local bank the money would be transferred at that time. The old account was to remain open due to the fact a firefighters assistance grant was written requiring a checking account routing number and the new account routing number would not be available before the grant's closing date.
"At the following town board meeting, the board issued me a draft of the ordinance for the account that they were going to open. The town board would be given control of all fund-raising and donation money. At that meeting there was no mention of transferring the account. The ordinance has not yet, to this date, been published or officially recorded at the Owen County Courthouse.
After reviewing the ordinance and the current contract for fire protection between the Town of Gosport, the Gosport Volunteer Fire Department, the Wayne Township Trustee, the Montgomery Township Trustee, and the Harrison Township Trustee, I found that the town board would be in breach of the contract with this ordinance. Section 8 of the contract reads as follows: 'should the Town of Gosport Volunteer Fire Department conduct any fund-raising activities and raise money under the auspices of the Town of Gosport, said money shall be the property of the Town of Gosport Volunteer Fire Department for its use pursuant to the department's duly enacted bylaws, policies and procedures.'
"This ordinance was taking control of the money away from the Gosport Volunteer Fire Department and giving it to the Gosport Town Board. At this point an executive meeting was requested by the fire department administration to discuss the contract issue. That meeting was denied.
"In approximately the last six or more weeks, I was never contacted about the transfer of the account. I was never given notice of the events of the Tuesday, July 7 meeting until I read the article two days later in the Spencer Evening World. As of July 8, I have submitted my official resignation of the Gosport Volunteer Fire Department. On Friday, July 10, I was given an unofficial written apology from (town attorney Terry English).
"For information to verify this information is correct and accurate, individuals can go to the Gosport Town Hall and request the fire protection contract, ordinance, and minutes from any meetings of the town board. All are public record."

(CNSNews.com) – Rep. Jane Harman (D.-Calif.), the former ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, says that Central Intelligence Agency briefings of that committee were like "playing 20 questions."
"If you don't ask precisely the right question, then you don't get the information," said Harman.
Harman also said that she believes the Bush administration "cherry-picked" the intelligence information that it presented to the public "to make the case look worse" in certain instances.
Speaking Tuesday at a conference on intelligence reform, Harman said her view that CIA briefings were like playing "20 questions" was shared by Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.), the current ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, who formerly served as the committee chairman.
"Pete Hoekstra has said, and I think would still say if he were here, and that is that we play--those of us on the Intelligence Committee--play 20 questions," said Harman. "If you don't ask precisely the right question, then you don't get the information."
Harman said that both the House and Senate intelligence committees should be given "full information" by the administration rather than the limited briefings they currently receive. Congress, she said, is an independent branch of government and is responsible for overseeing the operations of the intelligence community, a function she said it could not fulfill unless it is given all the facts.
"My version of this--and I'm just speaking for myself--is that the intelligence committees, which are leadership-appointed committees, should be given full information," said Harman. "We're an independent branch of government."
Harman, who serves on the Homeland Security Committee and is the chairman of its Subcommittee on Intelligence, Information Sharing and Terrorism Risk Assessment, told CNSNews.com that while the intelligence provided in briefings had never been false or misleading, it was limited in its scope.
"I remember many briefings where the briefers were low-level, and every time you asked a question or I asked a question they [would] say, 'Gee, that's not in my lane, sorry, I can't answer that,' and it was colossally frustrating," said Harman.
She said that the seniority of briefers sent by the administration to Congress is improving, as is the depth of the information provided. But she was careful to note that while intelligence had not been politicized when it was presented to Congress, getting administration officials to disclose the totality of what they knew had been a difficult process.
"I'm not alleging politicization, I'm making a point that it was like playing 20 questions," she said. "If you didn't ask precisely the right question of the right person, you couldn't get the information."
Harman went on to say that intelligence officials, cautious about disclosing sensitive national security information to too many people, should understand that Congress serves as a check on the administration, and added that liberty and security are not "a zero-sum game."
"Congress is an independent branch of government," said Harman. "It is responsible to oversee and fund our intelligence function and we have the obligation to keep America safe, but also to protect our Constitution. And I said that liberty and security are not a zero-sum game. We have to do both, and Congress is the place where I think that gets integrated."
Harman said that while the Bush administration "cherry-picked" the intelligence it provided to the public, it did not do so in its briefings to the intelligence committee. She said, however, that the information that Congress received was "inadequate."
"I did believe in the last administration that some of the intelligence--and I've said this publicly--was cherry-picked to make the case look worse, but I'm not saying that happened in the briefings of our [House Intelligence] committee," said Harman. "It happened in the public square where policies were explained by the last administration."
"I believe that we did not get the information we needed in the committee," she said. "We did not get the legal documents we requested. Many of our briefings and transcripts have been declassified pursuant to a FOIA request--I think by the ACLU--and you can read them. And you can see efforts by me and others to push back and ask for more information, which we never received."
"We had inadequate information," said Harman. "I was frustrated in my efforts to get the full committee briefed about a number of programs that I did not believe met the strict covert action restriction in the National Security Act, and those things didn't happen. I no longer serve on the [House Intelligence] Committee. I know the committee is still pushing to get more information made available, and I hope they're successful."
Still, she said the briefing process was "a work in progress" in the Obama administration, noting that Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair has briefed members of Congress at times.
"It's a work in progress," said Harman. "I believe that higher level briefers are coming, I know that DNI Blair comes, and I think that our coordinating mechanism is working, but more is more. And Congress intends to get the full picture and should get the full picture and should help make our intelligence community the best it can be."
"Otherwise, we're not going to learn the plans and intentions of bad guys before they attack," she said.
Both the House and Senate included provisions in the 2010 Intelligence Authorization Act, which funds covert operations, to mandate that the administration brief the full House and Senate Intelligence Committees about covert programs, and that it provide the full committees with its full legal justifications for such programs.
President Obama has twice vowed to veto the bill if those provisions, among others, are included, saying that it maintains the view of the Bush administration that while briefing Congress is required by law, what information is disclosed and how it is presented to Congress is a matter of executive privilege.

Happy New Year from Outdoor Industry Association!
To the new members of Congress and to the many on Capitol Hill who are already familiar with the outdoor recreation industry and support our vibrant economy, we welcome you to the 112th Congress.
I hope many of you were able to get outside to ski, hike, paddle, fish or hunt and enjoy America's great outdoors following the November elections and the busy final weeks of 2010.
During the holidays, many of us return home to spend time in the places where we grew up and with family and friends who helped us create many youthful memories. It's an opportunity to hike and ski on lands that have been preserved across generations or to bike on a trail that runs through town. These places support an active outdoor recreation economy that contributes $730 billion annually to the U.S. gross domestic product and supports 6.5 million jobs. The vast majority of this powerful economic activity takes place on public lands managed by the federal and state governments, making the voice for recreation in the public policy process essential for our customers and our industry.
Our industry makes the footwear, apparel and gear that make it possible and comfortable for people to get outside and recreate. Cold, wind, sun, snow, rain, breathtaking landscapes and hard-earned summits are part of our customers' experiences and as a result, the outdoor industry produces some of the most innovative products in the world. OIA seeks to lower costs for outdoor businesses and their customers, to support American jobs and to ensure continued product innovations that are critical to the outdoor industry's viability, while reflecting the industry values of social and environmental responsibility.
We look forward to working with you in 2011 to support efforts such as the America's Great Outdoors Initiative, strong funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund and manufacturing innovation through the US OUTDOOR Act. In addition, our industry is leading a private sector initiative called the Eco Index to ensure we do our part as private businesses to manufacture products with sustainability top of mind.
We look forward to working with you. Best wishes as Congress gets underway.
The Outdoor Industry Association Government Affairs Team
Amy Roberts, Alex Boian, Craig Mackey, David Weinstein and Beth Jensen

This should probably be moved to radioisotope and become a generic article about all sorts of radioisotopes. Some articles link to that page already. Also, there might be some overlap between this current article and Delta radiation, where the "delta-series radioisotope" lemma links to at least once. -- Cid Highwind 21:57, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

(After reading my review, be sure to enter the Rafflecopter for a chance to win your own PDF copy of this fascinating study!)
For the past several weeks, the kids and I have been using this unit study book about the constellations and Bible prophecy in our homeschool classroom. (And by "classroom" I mean anywhere we decide to do school.)
Star Chronicles: A Bible-Based Study of the Stars is like nothing I have ever seen before. The author, Dawnita Fogleman, has done a great job at making this study fun and informative which makes it perfect for my young and older students alike.
What it is:
One of the first things we did was to make a "circle star finder". I didn't have any transparency sheets for my laser printer, so I actually rolled out a sheet from my laminator and cut it to fit my printer. In order for the toner not to rub off, I covered the printed side with clear packing tape before cutting it out and putting it together (easy peasy!). We have actually not had a chance to use it yet, because we've had so many rainy nights and bed ridden sickies. Looking forward to clearer skies and healthy children so we can try it out!
The study of Bible prophecy has never been something we have really delved into before, so this study has taken us awhile to ease into. For now, we have mainly focused on the scripture related to this constellation, looking at the placement of the stars on the star charts, and researching with sources other than the book.
Some of the things I love most about this study:
- Unless otherwise stated, all verses are from the KJV Bible
- Can be used with all ages
- Can be used in a scrapbooking, notebooking, or lapbooking format. The possibilities are endless!
- Dawnita gives a heads-up about anything inappropriate that might come up when googling.
- She has included references and suggestions for continued study (online, print, and DVD).
The references alone are priceless! Just out of curiosity, I did several different searches, and only ran across one Bible-based viewpoint website. The time and heart that Dawnita has put into this book is obvious. I look forward to continuing our studies and learning more about God's beautiful masterpiece!
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
Psalm 19:1 KJV
April is an awesome month for star gazers!
- North & South America can be on the lookout for a Lunar Eclipse on 4/15
- The Lyrids Meteor Shower is expected to peak on 4/23
- The Annular Solar Eclipse will occur 4/29
The print version of Star Chronicles is now available in paperback from Amazon for $22.12
If you would rather purchase the book as a PDF to use on your computer, or to print out yourself, visit http://foglemanforerunner.com/shop/. This version is $12 but for a limited time only, until 4/20/14 if you use the promo code STARMOMS, you can receive 25% off (of this version ONLY, purchased from Dawnita's website).

If you're looking for a sweet, mellow, easy going little dog to add to your life, please read on. I've been waiting since October 2014 for someone to adopt me.

Or donate something from Fluffies Amazon wishlist to help with her daily care: http://a.co/flTXgDZ
My name is Fluffernutter. I am a sweet, gentle ~10 year old 20 lb Maltese / Westie / Shih Tzu / Mini Poodle mystery mix. I am diabetic, and I get shots twice a day before breakfast and dinner, I don't mind one bit. The expense for my prescriptions is about $25 per month, which is probably less than you'll spend on cute t-shirts for me. I also have mild hypothyroid which I take pills for with breakfast and dinner, and am almost completely blind. My sight doesn't really slow me down though, I bump into stuff once in awhile, but since I usually walk around slow anyway I never "crash" into anything. And once I get comfortable in a house I can find my way around (even in / out the dog door) all by myself. I am a very quiet dog, I've been known to go weeks without barking one single time. I am always happy to meet new people. Especially if they come bearing snacks. I'm very mellow and don't require much in the way of exercise. I'm super easy-going and easy to take care of. I'm not demanding and though I often choose to nap near people, I am fairly independent and don't require constant attention. You do your thing, I don't really want to help you update that database anyway.
I don't need the companionship of another dog, but if you have other dogs I do get along perfectly with other mellow dogs whose priorities in life are similar to mine. Walk around patrolling for dropped crumbs, take a nap, go outside and roll around in the sun a little bit, take a nap, patrol for crumbs again (still nothing?), drink some water, see what's over there, sit on my pillow...take another nap...
I would be a great fit for someone retired, or for anyone who wants a mellow easygoing companion. My foster parents work full time and I am totally fine staying at home alone all day. I don't have any separation anxiety whatsoever (not even a teeny, tiny, bit) and have no destructive tendencies. I can be trusted alone in the house without supervision.
You may be wondering what in this great wide world really pushes my buttons. Well I'll tell you. FOOD. I love food. I mean I really LOOOVE food. You thought that you loved food, but you don't. Not compared to me. I don't eat stuff like shoes or socks (gross) but if it's food, I'm putting it in my mouth. Dropped a piece of cereal? Mine. Dropped a piece of lettuce from your salad? Mine. Dropped an entire chicken leg? KISS THAT THING GOODBYE. Because of my diabetes I'm really only supposed to eat certain things, and at certain times of the day. But do I let that stop me from inhaling dropped food? Not on your life. Food that makes its way to the floor is clearly fair game. I've learned that the people in my foster home can be pretty clumsy so just to cover all the bases, any time I hear anyone going into the kitchen for any reason, I accompany them, just in case they happen to drop something. I want to be close so I can help clean up any messes, you understand.
My foster mom gives me a bath once a week because she says if she doesn't my hair gets greasy. Puh-lease! I'm a lady. A fluffy white lady dog with a reputation to maintain. I don't believe I NEED a bath once a week. I take baths because I like smelling like a fresh spring flower afterward, but I don't think I really NEED a bath. My foster mom also says I have the worst flatulence ever. I don't think that's true. While I'm sleeping? What a tale. Nobody's going to believe that. Look at my adorable face. Next she'll be telling you I snore like a freight train. Which would also be a Complete. And. Total. Falsehood.
My foster mom gives me haircuts about once a month and trims my nails and I'm very patient while being groomed and don't mind people handling my ears / feet / etc. Check me out!
I'm always nice to the vet! It's true.
And I love cats! Well, I ignore cats. Which - as far as the cat in my foster home is concerned - is the best way to show true love.
I need a home with a doggy door so I can let myself in and out on my own schedule. And a single level home with zero or minimal stairs would be great. I can handle some stairs, but if there are too many I'll get tired of climbing. I'm not very athletic.
I just got all my bloodwork re-run in February 2017 and the vet said all my levels look great!
Fluffernutter is being fostered in Gilroy. Her adoption fee will be waived for approved applicants. She is spayed and up to date on vaccinations.

Shelter Description
Tailchaser Rescue is a 501(c)3 non-profit, no-kill, animal rescue organization based out of the Bay Area, CA, dedicated to rescuing cats and dogs (and sometimes more) from shelters where they are in danger.

Did you know?
All nuclear power in the United States is used to generate electricity.
Nuclear energy is energy in the core of an atom
Atoms are the tiny particles in the molecules that make up gases, liquids, and solids. Atoms themselves are made up of three particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons. An atom has a nucleus (or core) containing protons and neutrons, which is surrounded by electrons. Protons carry a positive electrical charge and electrons carry a negative electrical charge. Neutrons do not have an electrical charge. There is enormous energy present in the bonds that hold the nucleus together. This nuclear energy can be released when those bonds are broken. The bonds can be broken through nuclear fission, and this energy can be used to produce electricity.
In nuclear fission, atoms are split apart, which releases energy. All nuclear power plants use nuclear fission, and most nuclear power plants use uranium atoms. During nuclear fission, a neutron hits a uranium atom and splits it, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. More neutrons are also released when a uranium atom splits. These neutrons go on to hit other uranium atoms, and the process repeats itself over and over again. This is called a nuclear chain reaction. This reaction is controlled in nuclear power plant reactors to produce a desired amount of heat.
Nuclear energy can also be released in nuclear fusion, in which atoms are combined or fused together to form a larger atom. This is the source of energy in the sun and stars. Nuclear fusion is the subject of ongoing research as a source of energy for heat and electricity generation, but it is not yet clear whether or not it will be a commercially viable technology because of the difficulty of controlling a fusion reaction.
Nuclear fuel—uranium
Uranium is the fuel most widely used by nuclear plants for nuclear fission. Uranium is considered to be a nonrenewable energy source, even though it is a common metal found in rocks worldwide. Nuclear power plants use a certain kind of uranium, referred to as U-235, for fuel because its atoms are easily split apart. Although uranium is about 100 times more common than silver, U-235 is relatively rare.
Most U.S. uranium ore is mined in the western United States. Once uranium is mined, the U-235 must be extracted and processed before it can be used as a fuel.

After discussing the Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) with people involved in many different aspects of aviation, NASA has come to believe there are several misconceptions concerning the filing of reports. For example, a number of people thought that direct involvement was necessary to report an incident, and many expressed a belief that a person can submit only one ASRS report within a five-year period.
"You do not need to be directly involved in an incident to submit a report," said NASA. "Everyone is encouraged to submit reports to the ASRS when they are involved in, or observe, an incident or situation in which aviation safety was a concern or in which safety was actually compromised."
Regarding the second misconception, NASA explained, "There is no limit to the number of ASRS reports you may file in any given time period, nor is there any minimum time restriction between submissions. You may file as many reports as you think necessary, as often as you think necessary."
The only restriction that applies to ASRS reports is the number of times that a person can exercise "transactional immunity" in a given period of time. There are actually two immunities that apply to ASRS report submissions, specifically, use immunity and transactional immunity.
Simply stated, use immunity means that "your report, or information contained in your report, may not be used against you. The restriction to use immunity is that the event must not have been an accident or a criminal act. Transactional immunity means that penalties assigned by an administrative law judge as the result of a violation will be waived." A person can exercise transactional immunity only once in a five-year period.
If a person has not been found guilty of an infraction in an administrative hearing, in front of a judge, then he has not used his transactional immunity, so the five-year restriction does not apply. Even if a person is found in violation in a hearing, he can still submit as many reports to ASRS as he wants, but he would not be able to exercise his transactional immunity privileges to waive a penalty for five years. One final requirement for transactional immunity is that the ASRS report must be submitted "within 10 days of becoming aware of the event."
Pilots making submissions to ASRS should also be aware that two people cannot receive immunity from a single submission. ASRS officials said they have received several reports that include a sentence such as: "I am submitting this report on behalf of myself and the first officer, with his permission."
According to the officials, only the person whose name appears on the report identification strip is eligible for immunity against FAA certificate actions. There is another reason for each person involved in an incident to submit his or her own report, said NASA: "Multiple reports of the same incident provide a richer, fuller picture of what happened."
Additional information regarding ASRS immunities can be found in FAA Advisory Circular 00-46D (online at http://asrs.arc.nasa.gov/immunity_nf.htm).

Westinghouse provides safety systems for Slovenian nuclear plant
Westinghouse Electric Co. said on Thursday that it won two contracts from a Slovenian nuclear plant operator to provide safety systems.
Cranberry-based Westinghouse said Nuklearna Elektrarna Krško purchased a venting system and a hydrogen-control system for its Krško Nuclear Power Plant. It did not disclose the costs.
The systems increase safety and help contain radioactive material during severe accidents, Westinghouse said. They would "help to mitigate events like that which occurred at Japan's Fukushimi Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant," the company said.
A tsunami in 2011 damaged the Japanese plant and leaked radiation.
Crews will install the systems at the Slovenian plant by April 2015.
Westinghouse, which designed the Krško reactor, began providing the plant with products and services when it started operating in 1983. In 2002 the companies signed a long-term nuclear fuel contract and in 2007 agreed to a service and equipment contract.

Shelby County assumed the No. 1 position in the 8th Region according to The Courier-Journal Litkenhous Ratings with its 74-53 pounding of South Oldham on Friday.
0 0 0
Shelby County suffered a 74-32 defeat to Bryan Station (10-3) Tuesday night at home.
The Lady Rockets' poor shooting slump extended another game, as they made just eight of 58 shots from the field.
Bryan Station led 24-9 at halftime. Forward Alesha Prince stretched that lead, making 16 of her game-high 24 points in the third quarter. Teammate Serena Sandusky had 12 points and Nealy Williams grabbed 12 rebounds.
Senior Taylor Shaw led the Lady Rockets (5-10) with 11 points. Leeara Cardwell had six points.
Shelby County senior Taylor Shaw signed a letter of intent in a ceremony at the high school Monday afternoon Monday to play softball for Georgetown College.
Sally Zimmerman, SCHS's athletic director and Shaw's former coach, praised her hard work on and off the field.
"She's just the ultimate student athlete," Zimmerman said. "It's the reason she's going to play at the next level -- what she's done in the classroom."
The SCHS boys' basketball team held off an pesky Russell County squad, 45-35, Wednesday for the American Founders Bank Rocket Invitational title.
Shelby County (9-3) used a 15-0 run at the end of the first half to take a 22-17 lead, and then held on for the victory. The loss was Russell County's (10-1) first this year.
The Rockets can now turn their attention to rival and defending 30th District and 8th Region champs Anderson County. The Bearcats (8-2) will visit Shelby County Saturday with the JV game at 6:30 p.m. and the varsity at 8 p.m.

20th century seasonal moisture balance in Southeast Asian montane forests from tree cellulose δ 18 O
The seasonally varying moisture balance in a montane forest of Southeast Asia is reconstructed for the 20th century from the oxygen isotopic composition (δ 18 O) of subannual tree cellulose samples of Pinus kesiya growing at 1,500 m elevation on Doi Chiang Dao in northern Thailand. The cellulose δ 18 O values exhibit a distinctive annual cycle with amplitude of up to 12 ‰, which we interpret to represent primarily the seasonal cycle of precipitation δ 18 O. The annual mean δ 18 O values correlate significantly with the amount of summer monsoon precipitation, and suggest a temporal weakening relationship between the South Asian monsoon and El Niño-Southern Oscillation over the late 20th century. The cellulose δ 18 O annual maxima values, which reflect the dry season moisture status, have declined progressively over the 20th century by about 3.5 ‰. We interpret this to indicate a change in the contribution of the isotopically distinct fog water to the dry season soil moisture in response to rising temperature as well as deforestation.

But it was Wales, without a win in their previous eight tests, who dominated, blowing Scotland away in the first twenty minutes.
Lamont was introduced in the unfamiliar position of full back when he replaced Hugo Southwell who injured himself in a nasty collision with Lee Byrne.
And the Scarlets man will be confident of a recall for the visit of Italy in a fortnight after being one of the few Scots to impress.
However that is little comfort to Lamont whose side never looked like scoring despite Wales being temporarily reduced to 13 men in the first half.
"We have to question how much we want this and I think a few boys need to be worried and start looking over their shoulders," said Lamont.
"We were poor and that is being polite.
"We need to sit down and have some serious alone time, pointing fingers. It is time to shut doors, perhaps not even have the coaches there.
"It was criminal that we did not convert when they were down to 13 men and we should not have lost like we did. We were not good enough."

'Human' insulin made via recombinant DNA technology was the first biopharmaceutical substance approved for therapeutic use. Humulin (trade name sometimes referred to as rHI), was developed by Genentech, but licensed to Eli Lilly and Company, who manufactured and marketed the product starting in 1982.
But the way from discovery of new biopharmaceutical, through passing approval processes, finally to registration of new Biosimilar is very long and complicated. The development process of biopharmaceuticals is risky, lengthy, complex and expensive. Registration is hindered by the natural diversity of biopharmaceuticals. Moreover, biopharmaceuticals usually are effective in a subgroup of the patient population, and there is a need to select the most flexible target population and to identify biomarkers. The development process also needs to collect comparative data to calculate the incremental cost effectiveness and budget impact of biopharmaceuticals. There is a role for innovative mechanisms such as risk-sharing arrangements to reimburse biopharmaceuticals.
These and other issues will be discussed during the session, "Biosimilars and new biotech products – Market and Development Opportunities in Central Europe" as part of this year's CE BioForum (23-24th May, Brno, Czech Republic). During this discuss panel Martin Votava, Director of Regulatory Affairs at European Pharminvent Services, Ltd., a former Member of the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, Scientific Committee at the European Medicines Agency, an expert in pharmacology and regulatory science in the EU will be speaker in his lecture "Regulatory Requirements and European Approval Process of Biosimilar Products". Companies very often underestimate the need of detailed and clear interpretation of clinical study results which may subsequently cause narrowing indication of biosimilar product compared to originator. This will be particularly an issue for biosimilar monoclonal antibodies where the discussion about extrapolation of study results is still open- says Martin Votava,.
This year, BioForum – Central European Forum of Biotechnology and Innovative BioEconomy, will be in its 11th annual edition. The event focuses on following issues: business models in personalised medicine, biosimilars and new biotech products, and clinical and preclinical research opportunities in Central Europe. The organizer of Bio-Forum is Bio-Tech Consulting from Lodz, Poland (www.biotechconsulting.pl).
BioForum - Central European Forum of Biotechnology & Innovative BioEconomy
together with accompanying events will be held on
23-24th of May 2012 in the Conference Centre BVV Trade Fairs in Brno (Czech Republic).

Despite a 27-26 comeback victory for the New York Giants this past weekend over the Indianapolis Colts that has the Giants at 3-0 this preseason, the starting offense has come under heavy fire, especially after this past Saturday.
Eli Manning himself, went 1-for-7, was nearly intercepted twice and was sacked once and because the offense couldn't generate anything early on, the Colts were able to take a 26-0 lead over the Giants (that was of course, before the Giants scored 27 unanswered points.) But the comeback isn't what is being talked about, it's the Giants struggles on offense and the inability to pick up the new offense under new coordinator Ben McAdoo.
Manning talked about the struggles of the offense on Saturday night and what exactly went wrong, which according to the two-time Super Bowl MVP, was quite a bit.
"Well, it just wasn't good enough. We didn't do a very good job on third down," Manning said in an on-field interview. "I felt like we had a couple of opportunities to hit some big plays, we just didn't complete them. The go-route to Victor (Cruz), and then had another chance I thought on a go-route to (Jerrel) Jernigan. But besides that, we just had some mistakes. We weren't efficient enough running the ball or throwing the ball tonight. So overall, not very good by the starting group."
The talks about the offense have gotten so bad, it's started discussions all over Giants fan boards about Ryan Nassib being the guy who should take over as the starting quarterback as opposed to Manning (yes, as ridiculous as that statement sounds, it's being uttered all over the place.) Yet despite all of the struggles from the offense, the 33-year-old isn't worried heading into the season.
"No, I'm not concerned right now, but we know we've got to get better," he said. "We've got to play better. We've got to start executing better and start making some plays."
Manning and his offense will look to show improvement this coming Saturday when they take on the New York Jets; a game that could feature the debut of the team's first round draft pick in Odell Beckham Jr., who could certainly help breathe some life into a struggling offense.

By Kevin Kelleher, contributor
FORTUNE -- Microsoft's obituary has been written plenty of times. There was no place for the software mammoth in a tech world designed -- and dominated -- by Apple. CEO Steve Ballmer was unable to steer the company to a position of growth, leaving Microsoft selling PC software in a post-PC world. So often has Microsoft been written off as irrelevant that investors have largely stopped believing in the stock, which has spent the bulk of the past ten years in a tight range between $25 a share and $30 a share. On Monday, the stock closed around $27, which is where it traded around this time of the year in 2008, in 2006, in 2004, in 2001 … you get the idea.
In the past five days, however, Microsoft's (msft) shares have risen by 5%, following the presentation of its latest operating software, Windows 8, to developers. Designed as a fresh start for Windows, it attempts to bridge mobile devices, tablets and traditional PCs. That modest uptick is a sign that investors that have so long written off Redmond's stock may be doing so at their own peril.
In early reviews, Windows 8 received perhaps the strongest praise ever for a version of its operating system and opened up the possibility that Microsoft could in fact become relevant in the so-called post-PC world. Jean-Louis Gassée, a former Apple (aapl) executive, wrote that the touch-based Metro user interface added to Windows 8 "is a step along the 'Windows Everywhere' road that leads to a single, elegant UI for all Microsoft-powered devices, whether they're PCs, smartphones, or tablets." TechCrunch called it "actually quite cool and quite intuitive." Even John Gruber, an influential Apple blogger, conceded "it could utterly fail as an iPad competitor, but still be a successful OS."
Okay, much of that may be damning with faint praise, but consider that, only a year and a half after Apple released the iPad, Microsoft has built from scratch an operating system that is winning comparisons to iOS. As Steve Jobs pointed out in a 1996 interview unearthed by Philip Elmer-DeWitt, it took Microsoft 10 years to catch up to the operating system that Apple created in the 1980s.
Microsoft will never become the driving force of innovation that Apple is today. But it can excel again at the thing it was good at in its glory days: copying the innovators and selling it at large-scale to a vast customer base. That is what Microsoft has been pushing for with Windows Phone 7. Aside from an innovative user interface of its own, the mobile OS doesn't break a lot of new ground. But throw in access to Nokia's global customers and, suddenly, some analysts see Windows Phone 7 taking a 21% market share in 2015, surpassing Apple's 15% share.
[cnnmoney-video vid=/video/technology/2011/09/14/t_windows_8_microsoft.cnnmoney/]
Windows 8 isn't likely to raise any innovative bars either, but it could keep Microsoft in the race as tablets vie with netbooks in a tech world moving further into the cloud. Most securities analysts following Microsoft were impressed, with a few predicting Microsoft will rise as high as $34 or $35 a share. In other words, Windows 8 and Windows Phone 7 could push Microsoft 30% higher.
Investors weren't so enthralled. Microsoft staged its developers conference to coincide with an annual meeting with analysts and investors. There, investors seemed most interested in getting a bigger piece of Microsoft's $53 billion worth of cash to be paid into dividends. Such demands are usually made to companies expected to see little, if any growth. Microsoft's revenue is growing around 6% a year compared with a 50% growth rate for Apple. It's the same old story: Microsoft isn't Apple, so it must pay a dividend.
In the near term, a fatter dividend may be the only thing to make investors happy, but Ballmer -- who keeps facing calls for his replacement as CEO -- is finally starting to do a decent job of laying the foundation for Microsoft's long-term growth -- growth that could return to the double-digits.
Windows 8 has a long way to go before it can start adding to Microsoft's revenue. It's unlikely to launch before the end of Microsoft's fiscal year, which ends in June 2012. Sales could disappoint if Microsoft fails to work out any potential kinks or if users are uncomfortable with the new interface. But Windows 8, like Windows Phone 7 before it, offers Microsoft something the company hasn't had in a while: a core product that could keep the company relevant for years. If Microsoft succeeds in making that happen, investors may one day regret this chance to have gotten its shares for cheap.
