Squander No. 1: Hurry! Put that nest egg into Bitcoin and triple it in a year!
Yes, it's the exciting new virtual currency (along with Dogecoin) and duly legitimate. Get in now. Huge profits await the tech-savvy. Blah, blah, blah.
Fidelity, one of the biggest holders of retirement assets with some $4.2 trillion in IRAs, just announced that it is no longer allowing Bitcoin investments in IRAs. In other words, it used to. Yikes. Apparently for some time, investors could direct money into SecondMarket's Bitcoin Investment Trust, an open-ended trust launched in September. It attracted $62.6 million of real, tangible currency into a fund based on cryptographic-backed, virtual currency.
Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. It's one thing to invest in Bitcoin with "play" money that you can afford to lose. It's a whole different story when your goals are preservation and growth.

Nexus S – the NEW Google Phone.
The Nexus S is the newest mobile communication device featuring the Android system created by Google.
Nexus S – Unlocked Phone
Being a Geek who appreciates the new smartphones and who is always looking for the coolest gadgets, I have checked this out and have come to realize the "S" stands for Superior.
This Nexus phone has been released with Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" and we're not talking cookies! "Gingerbread" is the fastest version of Android to date and makes copying and pasting text simple with one touch word selection.
It is easier to read and contains an improved on-screen keyboard with multi-touch support for a faster and more accurate typing experience. The Nexus S is equipped with a brilliant 4" Contour Display which was created by Samsung. The brighter screen provides vivid colors, incredibly clear text (at any size) and provides a luminance higher than conventional LCD display has made it one of the best smartphones on the market.
One of the latest technology inventions, is its curved, sleek design that fits perfectly to the contour of the hand or along the side of your face. Since it weighs only 5 oz, it is light and extremely comfortable to use or hold.
The latest Google smartphone features 16 GB iNAND Memory card, Bluetooth technology and WiFi. Add to that, a lithium ion battery which provides up to 6.7 hours of communication and you have one of the best gadgets that will NOT be obsolete tomorrow due to the ever changing mobile phone market.
Being equipped with a 5 megapixel camera capable of taking perfect pictures and HD videos, as well as, a front-facing camera which produces VGA quality images and video, you get one of the coolest gadgets a geek like me is looking to purchase.
The Nexus S has access to the Android Market providing it with over 100,000 apps, games, and widgets. It also features many of the latest Google mobile apps including Google Search, Google Maps with Navigation (Beta), Mobile Instant, Voice Actions, Gmail, Google Earth and the ability to receive upgrades. new apps and all the latest technology as they become available.
It was developed by Google, manufactured by Samsung and was released and sold unlocked in the United States beginning December 16, 2010. All this feature richness makes Nexus S one of the fastest phones yet. Will it be the best Smartphone 2011?

Lassen Canyon Nursery, Inc.
Lassen Canyon Nursery grows strawberry plants for both the commercial grower and the home gardener. We have been in business for over 50 years. Our company is committed to growing the finest quality strawberry plants in the world. But we don't stop there. We strive to go the extra mile for our customers providing not only top notch plants, but also the finest customer service in the industry. We are ready and able to assist both the commercial grower with many acres of strawberries and at the same time we can give advice and moral support to the backyard gardener who just needs a few plants to fill in that bare spot in the yard. We have different growing areas to meet our customers' diverse growing needs. At this time we have over 1000 acres of commercial strawberry plants. We also have a nursery operation in Jalisco, Mexico and cooperate on nursery projects in Asia. The vast majority of our plant varieties are developed by the breeders at the University of California. We also grow and sell plants developed by the University of Florida and the USDA. Additionally, Lassen Canyon Nursery is proud to announce its own breeding program which is focused on producing varieties that will meet and exceed the most exacting growers' standards all over the world. Our stock all starts out in the California State Certification Program, managed by the California Department of Food and Agriculture. Our stock is initially produced from meristem cells via tissue culture. The plants are then grown in insect and disease free screenhouses isolated from the rest of our operation. The progeny of these plants are tested to insure they are free of nematodes, virus, and disease. Then they are planted in foundation beds in Manteca, California. All our material is grown in soil that has either been steam sterilized or fumigated with an approved fumigant. After harvest our plants are trimmed, packed and shipped under the highest quality standards. For information on bulk pricing, technical support or other information, contact our representative in your area. Inquiries about our plants, nursery, or this web page can be sent to

It's time to stop gouging constitutionally sound programs that promote the general welfare of the sick, elderly, handicapped and college students.Wealthy Congress has taken away its own and other wealthy citizens' obligation to support the American democracy.They gorge themselves on the seed corn of the great American society, exporting means of production and creating a huge national indebtedness to countries with terrible human rights records, like China.To rebuild the coast, if the administration has its way, decent public radio and TV broadcasting programs will be eliminated entirely this go-round. Uplifting music, unbiased scientific, nature, social and democratic programming, available in a wholesome family format, is once again up for elimination. Please don't let that happen.Crony corporations enjoy immense no-bid reconstruction profits. Meanwhile American workers and their families are being denied the meager benefit of prevailing wages, as 70-year-old wage safeguards of the Bacon Act are suspended by our president.Don't let Congress and lobbyists dump America's tax load solely on low- and middle-income Americans. We're in this together.America has been blessed beyond measure.He to whom much is given, much is expected.We must all share the cost of fully rebuilding the Gulf coast.Please help end the president's economically unsound and selfish tax cuts for the wealthiest.Greed really is a dirty word.Please ask our congressman and senators not to support proposed cuts in Social Security benefits for the poor and elderly, student loans, and funding for public broadcasting.God bless us Americans and God bless our leaders.Eugene J.

Conservatives who've warned for years of President Obama's ideological extremism are often dismissed as melodramatic conspiracy theorists. Obama apologists argue that the president is not an ideologue, but an intellectual whose grasp of America's true needs is so nuanced and sophisticated that the average Joe in flyover country is simply incapable of understanding it.

They say what goes around comes around, or to paraphrase the Good Book, you reap what you sow. Nowhere is this more in evidence than in recent global data on abortion. For years, feminists have maintained that women will not be truly free or equal unless they are free to abort their unborn children. They have sought to elevate abortion to sacramental status. It has been the defining issue of the feminist movement for decades.

The specter of the "slippery slope" is widely considered to be a logical cop-out – an intellectually lazy response employed by the rigid and fearful among us (usually conservatives and the religious, of course).

A MAN has appeared in court in connection with an arson in Redditch.
David Hyett, aged 29, of Adlington Close, appeared before Kidderminster magistrates last week charged with arson with intent to endanger life or being reckless as to whether life would be endangered.
He was remanded in custody to appear at Worcester Crown court on June 2.
The fire happened at a terraced house in Dilwyn Close, Matchborough, on Saturday, February 22.
Neighbours were alerted by a large bang and started to tackle the blaze themselves before the arrival of the fire service.
Although the window was burned out, the flames did not spread and inside there was mainly smoke damage.

I came across a nice tool for keeping your droid anonymous online, excellent work from the folks over at The Guardian Project and i have to say this is without doubt the fastest tor network ive ever used.
Welcome to Orbot, one of the many great features is that you can choose what droid apps will use tor, or you can have everything connect via tor. I spent a good few hours playing with this with both the Orweb Privacy Browser and the Firefox ProxyMob Add-On and i was impressed. They also have an app named Giggerbot (Secure Instant Messaging XMPP) which works for Google talk. I would urge anyone who is concerned about their online privacy to give this a go. Its free and is available from the Google play store.

The craziest offenses are getting the young and not-so-innocent arrested lately.
University of Florida's star linebacker, Antonio Morrison, 19, was arrested on Sunday morning for approaching the window of a police squad car in front of a night club and barking at the K-9 inside. Police were at the night club responding to a non-related incident when Morrison thought he'd bark at the dog because he barked at him, according to the Daily Mail. If this is sounding really dumb, wait, it gets worse.
This is the second offense for the linebacker that has landed him in lock-up in the last five weeks. He's already been suspended for the first two games of the new season and the first arrest was for assaulting a bouncer outside a Gainesville, Florida, bar. They gave him the chance to wipe the slate clean if he simply stayed out of trouble, "attended a drug and alcohol abuse program at UF, attended anger management classes and completed two ride-alongs with campus police," according to a report in the Gainesville Sun.

Someone should ask those screaming about "infringing rights" and "unconstitutional" executive orders
specifically what they object to. Which of these specifically do they have an issue with?
And here are the 23 Executive Actions:
1. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal agencies to make relevant data available to the federal background check system.
2. Address unnecessary legal barriers, particularly relating to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, that may prevent states from making information available to the background check system.
3. Improve incentives for states to share information with the background check system.
4. Direct the Attorney General to review categories of individuals prohibited from having a gun to make sure dangerous people are not slipping through the cracks.
5. Propose rulemaking to give law enforcement the ability to run a full background check on an individual before returning a seized gun.
6. Publish a letter from ATF to federally licensed gun dealers providing guidance on how to run background checks for private sellers.
7. Launch a national safe and responsible gun ownership campaign.
8. Review safety standards for gun locks and gun safes (Consumer Product Safety Commission).
9. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal law enforcement to trace guns recovered in criminal investigations.
10. Release a DOJ report analyzing information on lost and stolen guns and make it widely available to law enforcement.
11. Nominate an ATF director.
12. Provide law enforcement, first responders, and school officials with proper training for active shooter situations.
13. Maximize enforcement efforts to prevent gun violence and prosecute gun crime.
14. Issue a Presidential Memorandum directing the Centers for Disease Control to research the causes and prevention of gun violence.
15. Direct the Attorney General to issue a report on the availability and most effective use of new gun safety technologies and challenge the private sector to develop innovative technologies.
16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.
17. Release a letter to health care providers clarifying that no federal law prohibits them from reporting threats of violence to law enforcement authorities.
18. Provide incentives for schools to hire school resource officers.
19. Develop model emergency response plans for schools, houses of worship and institutions of higher education.
20. Release a letter to state health officials clarifying the scope of mental health services that Medicaid plans must cover.
21. Finalize regulations clarifying essential health benefits and parity requirements within ACA exchanges.
22. Commit to finalizing mental health parity regulations.
23. Launch a national dialogue led by Secretaries Sebelius and Duncan on mental health.

#16 ---> If you object to a doctor asking, just refuse to answer. If you MUST answer, just lie and say "no".
#17 ---> Don't make threats of violence and you won't get reported for making threats of violence.

6. Yeah, the ACA is clear that a doctor can't be *forced* to ask that
but they also can't be forced not to ask it.
Call me crazy, but as a non-doctor I think the amount of input non-doctors should have into what doctors can and can't ask should be something around the level of 0.

11. # 16
# 16 is no biggie. I've seen the actual bit about whether or not doctors can ask about guns. According to the ACA they can ask about guns, but they can not record or report what the answers are. They can only report to law enforcement if a person threatens to harm themselves or another... just like #17 says... but that's already in place, has been for years, and I thought it was common knowledge. Here they are required to report any threats of violence or harm to law enforcement.

9. Forgetting Something?
Aren't we forgetting something in all of these executive orders? What's going to be done about people who illegally own guns? Actual criminals who don't purchase their guns legally? Or whats going to be done about the black market for guns in general? You know, those guys that sell guns out of the trunk of their cars? That are known criminals, selling to other known criminals? I really see nothing in all these executive orders that will put any kind of stop to the black market trade? Also just curious about #2... What are these "unnecessary" legal barriers in HIPAA that are preventing the states from making information available? That's what HIPAA is there for, to protect the privacy of the patient. I think in the end all that removing "unnecessary" legal barriers because of HIPPA will do is stop people who own guns that have (or suspect they may have) a mental health disorder from seeing doctors to get help. And also, about #16 the ACA doesn't in anyway prevent doctors from asking patients about guns in their homes, but it DOES prevent them from recording/reporting the information their patient gives them regarding guns in their home. I thought #17 was already common knowledge. In my state doctors are required to report to law enforcement if any patient threatens to harm themselves or others. Im kind of shocked that #12 isn't already being done. I dont know. I don't think any of these will really help anything. And weren't most people upset about rights being infringed BEFORE he announced what the executive orders were? Now that his orders have been released Im sure no ones screaming about it now, I don't think any of these infringe on anyone's rights to own a firearm anymore then the background checks already in place do.

10. Just WTF does Arne Duncan know about mental health?
I think a national dialogue about mental health is probably useful.
Especially a dialogue that engages what citizenship responsibilities look like around mental health of family and associated.
His original degree is in sociology. Before deforming schools in Chicago, his claim to fame was developing a school based on financial literacy.

First Look: House Of Dereon Bedroom Collections
Beyonce and mom Tina Knowles are bringing their luxe style to a department store near you. Their home decor lines, House of Dereon and Dereon, feature bedding influenced by Europe, bohemian chic, and dressmaking. Both lines will offer sheet sets, coverlets, comforters, pillow shams, and decorative pillows, but the embroidery-oriented House of Dereon caters to the more adult and sophisticated consumer, whereas the more print-oriented Dereon collection is for the 15 to 30 year olds. Think of it this way: House of Dereon is for the master bedroom and Dereon is for student or recent grad's bedroom.
The prices may or may not be affordable, depending on your situation. A sheet set from House of Dereon will run about $70, which would be a steal if it were made of high-quality natural fabrics, but these pics suggest there's a lot of polyester going on. Expect to pay upwards of $150 for the rest of the collection. Dereon is priced a little lower, from $49.99 to $99.99. And don't think Tina's going to stop once she builds a bedding empire; she has plans to redecorate bathrooms, too. Will you look for these collections when they hit stores? [BeyonceWorld.net]

|Assigned Interventions
|Active Comparator: motivational interviewing
Behavioral: motivational interviewing
An individual intervention building on the "Motivational Interviewing" by Miller and Rollnick. Several studies has proved effectiveness of this therapy form in improving drug compliance. Patients will be offered individual motivational therapy
Other Name: compliance therapy
|Experimental: The System Orientated Intervention
Other: The System-Orientated Intervention
Principles in this intervention come from "Clinical Risk Managing" and quality assurance. It focuses on daily problems in drug handling, including dropping out of drug therapy, by looking at the system as a whole.Some cases, where patients dropped out of drug therapy will be carefully analysed in order to identify week points in the system, and subsequently alter the instructions for drug therapy, information, reminders and so on.
Other Name: Clinical Risk Managing in Handling Compliance Problems
Detailed Description:
50% of people with schizophrenia do not take the prescribed medication leading to repeating relapses with loss of social and cognitive skills.
The individual intervention is based on "Motivational Interviewing" by Miller and "Concordance Strategies" by R. Gray.It is a cognitive behavioral therapy.
The system orientated intervention is building on principles from quality assurance and clinical risk managing. It seeks to improve the quality in the medical treatment by use of standards, monitoring, audit and root cause analysis,and thereby trying to find weak points in the system and subsequently improve the common practice.

Off the Charts
The market finished in positive territory as the indices posted narrow gains. The Nasdaq led the way higher, gaining 0.30%. It was another lethargic day in the S&P 500 today, but the index continues to hold up well since the Nov. 16 reversal. The question now is, can the S&P see a push above 1421 in this slow tape?
We are seeing some unusual divergences in the market right now. While market leader Apple (AAPL) remains heavy, we are seeing some laggard type stocks perk up. We also saw the market hold up as the dollar rallied last Thursday. The homebuilders, which have been a leading sector most of this year, are lagging on the short term.

A ROAD was closed after a lorry sank into the ground and exposed power lines at West Moors.
The drama started shortly before 4pm when the ground collapsed under a lorry entering a demolition site on Moorlands Road.
A tow vehicle then became stuck around some live electric wires. Police closed the road at both ends and Scottish and Southern Electric made the cables safe.
The electricity company said at 5.10pm that its staff would be on the scene for the next one or two hours.

By Linda Emley
History was made in Richmond Saturday night, July 28, 2012. History doesn't have to be some big event that happened 100 years ago because it's any moment in time that has already happened.
The great historian Carl Becker once said, "History is the memory of things said and done." Some days are more memorable that others, but history is made every day of our lives.
So what happened July 28? People of all ages gathered together and enjoyed a night of jamming to live country music. The Thomas F. Eagleton Center was rocking and this girl actually listened to seven hours of country music and liked it.
I grew up in the days of rock 'n' roll and never listened to country music, but it does grow on you when you hear it live and feel the emotions that make it so popular. People of all ages were dancing in the aisles.
We heard a great version of Johnny Cash's song, "Ring of Fire," and many other songs that pleased the crowd. It was fun when a song started and the crowd cheered because it was one of their favorites.
As you may know, there's a popular music jam the fourth Saturday of every month at the Eagleton Center.
On July 28, the Ray County Historical Society was the guest sponsor of the concession stand so we got to be a part of the jam session. David Blythe, our president, and his wife DaVona have attended many such musical events in Ray County, but they were on kitchen duty for this one.
They were assisted in the kitchen by fellow board member Steve Rouch and his wife Donna. Jan Jackson, also a historical board member, was our concession-stand cashier. I got to do the shopping and fill in as needed for our tour of duty. Bonnie Fields, Florence Williams, Kathy Wilson, Pat Mills, director of the Ray County Senior Center, Ray County Recorder Shirley O'Dell and Ray County Commissioner Allen Dale helped keep things rolling. Allen and board member Bruce Taylor grilled the brisket and polish sausage like they do for many Ray County events.
After this adventure, I decided I needed to learn a little more about what makes country music so popular. The County Music Hall of Fame is in Nashville, Tenn. Since 1961, there have been 115 people or groups inducted. Only 15 have been women.
Jimmy Rodgers was the first performer inducted into the hall. He's known as the Father of Country Music, "the man who started it all." I was pleased to see that Elvis, one of my all-time favorite singers, made the list in 1998. I was a little confused why he was there until I read what they had to say about the King.
"The consensus around Nashville in the mid-to-late 1950s was that Elvis was bad for country music, that he had in fact almost killed it; in truth, he was very good for a younger generation of country musicians, giving them potential access to broader media exposure than their predecessors had enjoyed." Since I like Elivs and Johnny Cash, I guess I've always been a country fan and didn't know it.
The next music jam is scheduled this Saturday. You won't be disappointed if you join in and share the fun with this group of musicians. There's no charge to attend or perform, but they do pass the hat for free-will donations that help support the Ray County Senior Center.
Abraham Lincoln once said: " History is not history unless it is the truth." The truth is you will be surprised how much fun you can have at the Ray County Senior Center's music jam. Come on down and see for yourself. You can call Florence Williams at 816-776-2998 for additional details.
This Saturday at 2 p.m., the Eagleton Center will host another concert. Levee Town, a very popular Kansas City blues-rock band will perform a benefit concert for the new Ray County Women's Resource Center (see the Richmond News article elsewhere in this issue). Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the Eagleton or Ray County Museum. If you have questions, call 776-7223 or contact me at the museum, 776-2305.
I'm helping promote this event because I feel there is a need in Ray County for a Women's Resource Center. I'm working with Connie Taylor on a story about the center that she and some others are forming. Please come hear this wonderful band perform blues music unlike any that we have ever heard in Ray County.
A few days ago I was talking about this event and called it a jazz concert. I was quickly corrected by a friend who said Levee Town is a blues band, not a jazz group. I made the mistake of asking,"Is there a difference?" I was told that blues music has soul. I went to the Internet and after reading several pages, I decided it's the way you feel when you hear a song. April is Jazz Appreciation Month, but it will be the blues when Levee Town comes to Richmond.
One guy was getting tired of trying to define the difference and he finally said, "The Jazz play basketball in Utah and the Blues play hockey in St. Louis." That sounds good enough to me. I hope everyone comes to the hill April 20 and joins all the fun as we make a little more Ray County history.

London (Dec. 20)
(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
Israel Zangwill's will, published on Saturday, indicated that the novelist and playwright, who died several months ago, was under the impression that his estate would be larger than it proved to be.
The estate amounted to £3,267, gross, but he left bequests totalling more than £12,000. His will was written on a single sheet of paper torn from an exercise book, and provided £4,000 each for three children, £250 for a memorial and various gifts to relatives and friends.
All of his literary and dramatic properties and household effects went to his wife. Any surplus up to £1,000 he directed should be left "to the Zionist Organization if, in my wife's opinion, it is building up a Jewish national home."

Acrobat and PDF Central Conference Is Almost Here
In case you had not heard yet, the Acrobat and PDF Central Conference 2009 in Minneapolis, MN is less than a month away. It will be one of those unique opportunities to learn much more – at one time and place – about what you can do with PDF and Acrobat to help you in your work.
If you are planning on being there, please do introduce yourself to me and the real PDF wizards who will be speaking, including Ted Padova, Duff Johnson, Lisa Croft, Thom Parker, Angie Okamoto, Bob Connolly, Keith Gilbert and others.
I will be leading sessions on Extending Features in Adobe Reader, Acrobat.com, Digital Signatures and Commenting and Reviewing Best Practices. But of course, there are lots of other topics to choose from
This is the third time I will be a speaker at the conference. Many of those who attended in the past have commented to me "I had no idea Acrobat could do so much" or "I needed to solve that problem recently, and did not realize Acrobat could have helped me". It's pretty cool to hear that from the perspective of someone who has been using and involved with Acrobat since 1996.
If you have not made a decision yet, or have not heard about the conference, and would like to attend, here's a little secret: become a member of the Acrobat User Community (it's free and easy, unless you are a member already) and you can get a USD100 discount of the regular 2-day conference pass price. Just go to this page on the Acrobat User Community site for the details.
I look forward to seeing you there!

Hungarian Goulash with Sauerkraut
Recipe by Bergy
There is Goulash and there is Goulash and there is this Goulash, they are mostly all good but I find this one distinctive. The saurerkraut gives great flavor. Do ahead and reheat the flavor is even better. I use wine cured kraut.
Top Review by carol
This recipe appears to not have been tested. I made it exactly as stated and found it is far too dry to serve over noodles. I used pork tenderloin and beef sirloin and found the meat rather dry and could have been tastier and more tnnder if simmered before adding sauerkraut. After an hour of cooking the sauerkarut is a little overdone and soft. The flavor was quite nice, however dry the dish.

|Re: Login link missing in 1.5 with Window IE 8
|Tue, 18 Feb 2014 20:11:37 GMT
Jens, Thanks for the speedy response. I certainly appreciate the low-bandwidth situation of the folks who generously contribute their time. Nonetheless, IE is the browser used by government and many corporations. This is not a matter of what browser is better than another. It's just a fact of life. I as a contractor, don't get to dictate the tools used in those environments. IT staff, like database administrators are absolutely not going to use curl (assuming it's even allowed to be installed on machines) to manage a database. CouchDB has to have browser admin UI that is compatible with IE, Chrome and Firefox. IE being the most important even if is not the choice of developers. I'm presented with such frustrating realities every day in my work for big companies and government. I'm sure there are plenty of folks on the user and developer list who deal with that. I'm curious as to what the QA process is for posting official releases. What is the test regression process? I got hung up by a serious bug (which I didn't know was a bug) last week in the Mac OS 1.5 build that I got off the web site. I found that modest size attachments (e.g. 3MB) took 20-25 seconds to upload, regardless of the technique. I ran the same test on Windows and found no problems, under a second, barely measurable. One the contributors, who respond to my post on the user forum, said the bug been identified and fixed in a branch, but not yet posted as a 1.5 patch build. The Mac is not my production platform, but I develop all my code on it. Do you know when/how the bug fix (by the way, what is the bug) will be posted to an official build?

Kate Moss is the Face of New Kerastase Paris Campaign
Posted on June 6, 2014
Kate Moss is the face of the new Kerastase Paris campaign. Kate's hair was styled by Kerastase Artistic Director and hairdresser Luigi Murenu. She channels Brigitte Bardot with one of her looks. The campaign was photographed by Solve Sundbo in Paris. A behind the scenes image is pictured below.
Murenu says in a statement, "The Brigitte Bardot 'mussed-up' 60's look is both quintessentially French and completely universal. Kate Moss is the Brigitte Bardot of today."
Kate says, "Just with hairstyles I can change my personality, I don't really need to change the color anymore."
Kate was also the face of a 2013 Kerastase Paris campaign, see here.

Cape Town - An injured baby pygmy sperm whale beached at Surfers Corner in Muizenberg, Cape Town, on Saturday, the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) said.
"It has severe lacerations on its stomach caused from bashing against the rocks," spokesman Craig Lambinon said.
Earlier, Lambinon said it was a dolphin that had beached.
The oceans and coasts branch of the department of environmental affairs was holding the whale where it was found until the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) arrives.
The SPCA's vets would decide what further action to take.
The NSRI from Strandfontein and Simonstown were on the scene assisting. - Sapa

It's a shame companies are spending more money on patents than they are R&D. I mean, when the biggest patent troll of all says "It's a waste; it's a time suck." It's time to stop. It's affecting the consumers, this needs to end.

dont blame "companies", blame just rotten Apple...

I have to agree here. The eco-system was perfectly fine because apple decided to go "thermonuclear" on android. Apparently Tim Cook doesn't understand the definition of irony. If he really felt this way, then he should stop all the stupid lawsuits....Just a thought.

In a way....it depends on what you bought patents for.
You can buy patents for innovation or just to use em, or you can buy them to help against lawsuits. You can buy them just to sue others.
For defending lawsuits, we can lay some of the blame on Apple. I wonder where does Oracle fit in all this.
31. whysoserious (Posts: 318; Member since: 20 Jul 2012)
All these are courtesy of the great Steve Jobs who started the "thermonuclear war" bullsh*t. He knew that the system for patent is broken and grabbed the chance to abuse it. And now the creator of this chaos is gone, they need to cease firing and make like a peace treaty.

Well maybe the courts should throw all these patents out the window, and that would leave the door open for new competition to startup.
17. No_Nonsense (unregistered)
Depends on what the patents are. Not all patents need to be thrown out.

This I agree with. Throw out the overly generic, broad ones.

True. They just take what other companies have done and put it together, much like a Chinese KIRF or an electronics Erector set. Nothing new, just using the preexisting things and putting a different label on them

Oh wow, Apple might patent patenting soon so Apple can sue other companies who patent.
14. eisenbricher (Posts: 973; Member since: 09 Aug 2012)
lmao this all Apple conspiracy has changed me to Apple hater! Before this I was neutral.
Also I never liked Sammy because of their designs but I'm starting to like the company due to its positive attitude. Also starting to like android :D
Go Sammy and Google!!
15. Naitto (Posts: 50; Member since: 15 Sep 2012)
Half of these patents are just stupid anyway, there is probably a dozen or more useless little common thing that have been done in other products before throughout history one way or another. Round corners, you should see my Toaster, Are they being sued?
18. No_Nonsense (unregistered)
Toasters aren't threatening Apple's iPhone or are they?
22. JC557 (Posts: 1794; Member since: 07 Dec 2011)
Was it made by Braun?
16. timtimity (Posts: 196; Member since: 13 Aug 2012)
Patent rules should be a lot stricter. Patenting round corners is pathetic. Now we've got a culture where companies are patenting absolutely everything they think of just in case someone else patents it in the future and sues them. It's more about protection rather than wanting to keep their ideas to themselves.
Patents regarding the physical features of a phone should just be allowed so a company cannot copy the overall look of the phone but individual features such as round corners, the shape and placement of physical buttons, etc should be patent free and accessible to all.
Think of what phones we could see if companies are not restricted by ridiculous patents and could spend more money on r&d rather than having to spend money on patents to protect themselves in the future.
20. eisenbricher (Posts: 973; Member since: 09 Aug 2012)
Totally agree with you.. ultimately all of this just slows down the innovation and burdens the user wih additional consts incurred.

This is a wonderful Lo-Carb addition to my cookbook collection. We try to follow Lo Carb all the time & w/ my new slow cooker, this is really wonderful. I have already made recipes from it & the price is great as well. Free Shipping clinched the deal!! How can u go wrong? Being handicapped, I always look for free or very low shipping, so I feel like I went to the store & shopped. Overstock has been a Godsend to me. THANKX AGAIN!!Read More
I gave this a low rating only because of the high fat content in the recipes. They are very low carb - so it does deliver what it says - but I just thought that the recipes would be a little healthier. The cookbook makes no claim that it's low fat - and it isn't. A lot of the recipes call for tapioca in them - to replace the normal higher carb fare. I found a couple of recipes that I am willing to try - so I'll just see how it goes. Happy cooking.Read More

Dietary protein quality evaluation in human nutrition
Report of an FAO Expert Consultation, FAO Food and Nutrition Paper n.92
As the global population increases, it is more important than ever to define the amount and quality of protein required to meet human nutrition requirements and to describe the protein supplied by foods and mixed diets.
Proteins vary according to their origin (animal or plant), their amino acid composition (particularly their relative content of the essential amino acids) and their digestibility. High quality proteins are those that are readily digestible and contain the dietary essential (indispensable) amino acids in quantities that correspond to human requirements. For many years, bioassays, mainly in rats, was the method of choice to assess the nutritional value of proteins. This value was expressed in parameters such as protein efficiency ratio, net protein utilisation and biological value. In 1991, the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) and World Health Organisation (WHO) adopted the method known as Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS). However, on the 15th February 2013, a report from a FAO Expert Consultation held in New Zealand in March 2011 recommended that the Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score (DIAAS) should replace the PDCAAS as the preferred method of measuring protein quality and describing the protein contribution of foods. This decision reflects advances in the analytical methods available to measure the quality and digestibility (bioavailability) of dietary proteins.
The report - Dietary protein quality evaluation in human nutrition, FAO Food and Nutrition Paper n.92 (published on 15 February 2013) - recommends that the method be adopted in Codex food labelling and claims guidelines. The FAO report also recommends future research to determine protein and amino acid needs that may be above the minimum requirements in certain circumstances.
The report describes how the new method, known as DIAAS (Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score), will overcome some of the short comings of the current PDCAAS method. PDCAAS estimates protein digestibility over the total gut (referred to as 'faecal' protein), i.e. it measures the disappearance of protein between the mouth and the end of the digestive tract and from this uses a single value of crude protein digestibility to correct the digestibility of individual indispensable amino acids. In contrast, the DIAAS method determines amino acid digestibility at the end of the small intestine (mouth to terminal ileum), which more accurately reflects the extent of amino acids absorption. Another key difference is that DIAAS considers the digestibility of individual amino acids in the protein, as opposed to the protein as a whole.
The FAO report highlights the benefit of treating dietary amino acids as individual nutrients when assessing protein quality. In the new methodology, ratios are derived for the digestibility of each dietary indispensable amino acid in the food, compared to a specified reference amino acid pattern (three patterns have been identified – one for infants up to 6 months, one for 6 months to 3 years, a third for all other age groups); the lowest ratio (expressed as a percentage) is taken as the DIAAS value. An example is provided in the FAO report on page 24. The FAO advises that DIAAS values above 100 should no longer be truncated (as currently happens with the PDCAAS method), except for single food sources and when determining the protein value of a mixed diet, as this penalises proteins with high concentrations of the indispensable amino acids, which are of particular interest from a food security perspective. A DIAAS over 100 for an individual food indicates the potential for the food to complement the protein contribution of a food with a lower DIAAS value (i.e. a food with a 'limiting' amino acid). Other characteristics of the PDCAAS method noted by the FAO are: it over-estimates the protein quality of products containing anti-nutritional factors; it does not adequately take into consideration the bioavailability of amino acids; and it overestimates the quality of proteins that are limiting in more than one amino acid.
One of the indispensable amino acids, lysine, can be modified as a result of the Maillard reaction that occurs during food processing, affecting its bioavailability. Because it measures the digestibility of individual amino acids, the DIAAS method provides a means of determining bioavailable lysine, excluding the transformed portion of the amino acid, thus providing an assessment of the true protein quality of the food as consumed.
As is often the case with new methodology, there is currently insufficient data on the ileal digestibility of amino acids to support an immediate move to the DIAAS method. The FAO calls for more data on the ileal digestibility of the protein in foods consumed by humans, determined in human and animal models, and more interspecies digestibility comparisons. This will enable identification of the preferred animal model for human digestion of proteins. A robust and validated DIAAS dataset for a wide range of foods will then be required before the method can be fully adopted.

You guys know how Jacob and the pack are technically shape-shifters, and not werewolves? It seems to be a fact that a lot of people forget, even Bella. But then, in Breaking Dawn, it is mentioned how there actually are werewolves (separate from shape-shifters) and one of the Volturi fought one once (I forget who, exactly, but there was someone). I always wonder what SM would've made her werewolves like if they somehow came into the story. Any ideas or theories?
I think (think, not sure) there was mention of them going extinct, but just if there were-what do you think they would've been like?

Ohio State University Urges Compassion for Muslim Terrorist Who Attacked Students
Sympathy for a supremacist slaughterer, but no sympathy for police officers, Jews, victims of jihad, slaves owned by Muslim overlords in Muslim countries (i.e. Mauritania), etc.
Unless your child needs a specific education (legal, medical, science, etc.), do not send him or her to college. It is not what it was. The university has morphed into an incubator for leftist fascism.
OSU Diversity Officer Urges Compassion for Somali Terrorist Who Attacked Students
By Information Liberation, November 30, 2016:
From PJ Media:
The Ohio State University assistant director of residence life allegedly expressed sympathy for Somali stabber Abdul Razak Ali Artan in a bizarre Facebook post Monday that has since gone viral.
Stephanie Clemons Thompson urged her followers to have compassion for Artan after he expressed a desire "to kill a billion infidels" and then tried to kill as many as he could at OSU. She also urged people to "think of the pain he must have been in," and used the hashtags #BlackLivesMatter and #SayHisName (which BLM uses to denote victims of police brutality).
Here's her hilarious post:
His name was Abdul Razak Ali Artan. He and his family had their entire lives paid for by US taxpayers. He repaid us by trying to kill as many random "infidels" at Ohio State University as he could while hailing terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki as a "hero."
The rant he posted on Facebook attempting to justify his terror attack was incoherent garbage.
His big grief was a complaint about "Muslims being tortured, raped and killed in Burma."
The US government has explicitly condemned the Burmese government for persecuting Muslims in Burma, they passed a resolution on it in 2014.
There's literally zero reason to show this man an ounce of sympathy, yet Stephanie Clemons Thompson seems to feel this was some Black Lives Matter shooting by a racist white cop.

PrivateCore Secures $2.25M
Menlo Park-based PrivateCore, a new startup headed by VMware and Google veterans, said Wednesday that it has raised $2.25M in a seed funding round. The round was led by Foundation Capital. PrivateCore is developing a secure, hypervisor which enables companies to have a "private" virtual machine, where only the owner of that virtual machine has access to the data -- as opposed to the current case, where service providers also have access to that data, another potential security exposure. PrivateCore is headed by Oded Horovitz and Dr. Stephen Weis. Horovitz worked on VMware's VShield and VMsafe security products, and Weis worke don Google's two-step verification systems.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/1/2010 (2762 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Let's set aside, for the moment, all the debate over whether marijuana is a gateway drug whose users may be propelled toward harder, more dangerous drugs.
There's a new, more sinister concern about cannabis. According to some scientists, it may be directly linked to mental illness, including schizophrenia, in young pot smokers.
CBC's The Nature of Things takes an unsettling look at the new evidence tonight in The Downside of High (8 p.m., CBC), an hour-long documentary written and directed by Bruce Mohun and narrated by series host David Suzuki.
The Downside of High is a particularly effective examination of its subject because it straddles the line between cold, hard scientific information and up-close human experience. As an entry point to the discussion, the film's makers introduce us to three young British Columbians whose lives were sent careening sideways after they started experimenting with pot.
Each first tried smoking marijuana in the usual peer-group environment; each quickly got hooked on getting high; each soon developed deeply delusional behaviour -- hearing voices, extreme paranoia, fear and panic -- that ultimately landed them in hospital psychiatric wards for extended stays.
And each, along with the doctors who have helped them in the slow effort to rebuild their lives, is convinced that their mental illnesses were triggered by marijuana use.
That's where the scientists come in.
The Downside of High examines the work of several researchers who have studied the link between pot and schizophrenia, beginning with a groundbreaking 1987 Swedish study that followed 50,000 young army recruits for more than 15 years and concluded that those who used marijuana during their teen years were six times more likely to be diagnosed with schizophrenia during the next decade and a half of their lives.
Dutch researcher Dr. Jim Van Os included this study as he prepared a comprehensive overview of all the available data on the topic; his admittedly more conservative conclusion is still cause for concern.
"We found that cannabis use nearly doubles the risk of developing future psychotic states," he explains, "be it isolated psychotic symptoms or clinical psychotic disorders, like schizophrenia."
Van Os's research also concluded that teens who begin using marijuana before the age of 15 may be four times as likely to develop schizophrenia.
Part of the problem, according to The Downside of High, is the fact pot growers -- including the "B.C. Bud" purveyors who call Canada's West Coast home -- continue to develop new breeds of weed that are exponentially more potent than the "harmless" pot that fuelled 1960s and '70s counterculture.
In addition to containing much higher levels of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), marijuana's active (and sometimes psychosis-producing) agent, new strains of pot also contain much less CBD (cannabidiol), which is thought to protect pot users against the drug's psychosis-inducing properties.
Van Os and other scientists have also found evidence that there's a genetic link that makes some people much more likely to suffer marijuana-induced mental illness; some of the most current research is aimed at developing an accurate test that might allow parents to learn whether their teenagers are part of the high-risk group when it comes to pot and mental-health problems.
As one might expect in a film focused on scientific research, nothing here is completely conclusive. Not all scientists agree on the cause-effect relationship; not all pot users are at risk of encountering mental illness. But there certainly is much to consider in The Downside of High, especially for parents and teens who find themselves standing at a much different gateway than they ever thought the issue of recreational drug use might create.
