1. Calcium May Be Key To Restoring Acid Rain-Damaged Forests
Science 2.0
A study led by Berkeley forest ecology professor John Battles has found that adding calcium to the soil of forests suffering the effects of acid rain can help reverse decades-long nutrient depletion. The study is based on 15 years of data from an ongoing experiment in the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in New Hampshire, and it found that trees in a calcium-treated watershed produced 21 percent more wood and 11 percent more leaves than their counterparts in an adjacent control site. Other stories on this topic appeared in Treehugger and eNews Park Forest. Full Story

3. University of California Launches Crowdfunding Campaign for Education
Crowdfund Insider
The UC system has announced a crowdfunding campaign to boost financial aid for undergraduates. Called Promise for Education, the six-month campaign's idea is that anyone, including celebrities, students, and alumni, can publicly promise something if their fundraising goals are met. Among the celebrities signed up to participate are actor Jamie Foxx, Mike Love of the Beach Boys, and California Governor Jerry Brown. Jamie Foxx's promise is to "rap a song like Bill Clinton, President Obama and Monique from the movie Precious" if his supporters raise $20,000. According to organizers, roughly $900,000 has been donated or pledged so far, much of it from large donors, but they say they especially seek gifts from young donors who could become lifelong UC supporters. Other stories on this topic appeared in the San Bruno Patch and World Journal (in Chinese). Full Story
4. Jobless recoveries are here to stay, economists say, but its a mystery why
Washington Post
A new report co-authored by doctoral economics student Dmitri Koustas suggests that 1980s-era Europe is the new normal for a pattern of U.S. recessions and jobless recoveries. Although their series of tests were unable to explain the causes, one factor stood out a deterioration of trust. The authors explain: "Social networks are a common way people find jobs, and the social isolation and distrust we observe are likely associated with a decline in these traditional networks." Other stories on this topic appeared in Al Jazeera America and the Washington Post Online. Full Story

New York Times Online (*requires registration)
Business professor Laura D'Andrea Tyson writes about the "agonizingly slow" economic recovery, concluding: "Without significant institutional and policy changes, supported by changes in social norms about wage inequality, the 'new normal labor market' could feel a lot like the 'old normal labor market' in terms of job quality for a large number of American workers."

Chicago Tribune
A new documentary called "Good Virus" includes an interview with psychology professor Dacher Keltner, co-director of Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center, an interdisciplinary research center. According to director David Gaz: "Keltner looks at the roots of evolution and why we are nice to people when it seems we have no advantage to be nice to people. ... He found it was sort of rooted in evolution. Human babies take a long time to mature compared to animals. When they are first born they're pretty darn helpless. He says the reason we are nice to people is we have to form these cooperative groups in order to raise our kids and to pass our genes on to future generations. If you notice, we're a social species like bees and ants ... Working together is what makes us cooperate as a species." Full Story

14. Culture Monster: Q&A: Architect Elizabeth Diller on working with Eli Broad and more
Los Angeles Times
Architect Elizabeth Diller discusses her firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro's current art museum projects around the country, including the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive. About BAM/PFA, she says: "That project has a really fascinating history, going back to the Toyo Ito design that preceded ours [and was abandoned as too expensive] and then the decision to reuse the printing plant on the site. The site is off the main university campus, but allows the museum and the film archive to be integrated a little more with the fabric of the town. And our design has a kind of humble quality. Its a very different time from when the original plans for the building [by Ito] were unveiled. Our goal, in a really strategic way, is adaptive reuse of the printing plant to make really good gallery space and a lot of flexible space. That museum has essentially an encyclopedic collection, which is a really interesting part of this. It has all these incredible holdings in modern art but also in Asian art and other areas, so the criteria for control are very high in the galleries. That has made the adaptive reuse part of the design particularly challenging. We were eventually able to find a lot of gallery space underground. That has a lot to do with what can be exposed to daylight and what cant." Full Story

This is a guest post by Marc Gaffan, Co-Founder of Incapsula, a Rackspace Cloud Tools partner. Incapsula offers state-of-the-art security and performance to any size websites.
Protecting your website can seem like a daunting task to small and medium businesses who, until now, have relied on the old standby's of a firewall and anti-virus software to keep their websites safe.
Hackers have become more sophisticated, penetrating websites with malicious threats: from sophisticated SQL injection attacks to malicious bots suffocating websites with massive amounts of resource-consuming requests, and intruding comment spammers. For hackers small websites are now as big a target as larger sites forced to invest in sophisticated website security measures.
A 2011 survey from the National Cyber Security Alliance found 85-percent of 1000+ small U.S. businesses believed they were safe from hackers, malware, viruses and other breaches. However, only 52-percent reported having a plan for keeping their businesses cyber secure.
… a false sense of security, perhaps?
When it comes to making sites faster, things aren't any less daunting:
Website visitors expect the same speed and performance from their favorite blog and local pizza site as they do from Facebook, Bank of America and CNN.com.
According to Forrester Research, online shoppers expect pages to load in less than two seconds, and 40-percent of shoppers abandon a site if pages take more than three seconds to load.
Today for even small e-commerce sites, high traffic content sites and CRM powered sites, performance and security is no longer a luxury.
So what can SMBs do? This is exactly why we built Incapsula.
Incapsula is a cloud-based service that delivers affordable yet uncompromising speed and security previously only accessible by the website elite. Incapsula can be setup within just five minutes, without any additional hardware and software, and without requiring security expertise to maintain the service. As a cloud service Incapsula also provides on-demand scaling for any size website.
With such cloud solutions being relatively new, migrating mission critical infrastructure from within the datacenter to the cloud, stretch many beyond their comfort zone.
So let's debunk some of the myths around cloud-based security:
Myth: Cloud security services aren't safe and are less effective than host based solutions.
False! Incapsula's cloud provides small-to-medium businesses with the same level security as large companies with on-premise solutions. Furthermore, our collaborative threat technology detects threats across our network benefiting all customers in real-time
Myth: Such solutions are expensive.
False! SMBs can easily afford uncompromising security and speed that returns the investment in spades. Sites under 25Gb/month can use the free version with all the security and performance features they need.
Myth: Using a cloud service will slow my website.
False! Routing traffic through our servers not only keeps hackers out, but speeds websites too. Our CDN capabilities double website speed and halve bandwidth consumption.
Myth: Installation is complicated.
False! It takes a simple DNS switch in under 5 minutes, with no software or hardware.
Bottom line? Now any size website can compete with the giants, with:
• Enterprise- grade website security
• 40% faster page-loading
• 50% bandwidth reduction
• No comment spam or scrapers
Incapsula can be used for any website or web application hosted on the Rackspace cloud. Give it a Try or take the Incapsula Tour.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Hello, welcome to the site! My name is***** and I will try to assist you with your medical question, and any medical information you seek
I'm sorry to hear about this
So the main issue you have right now is drawing blood?
No what do you think is causing these severe chills? my wife says my eyes roll back and my face is blood red, and I just shake and jerk. What can I do during these attacks and what do you thinks is causing them?
The chills may be the result of a systemic infection, the source of the infection could be many areas in your body, the blood draw to determine the source is essential
You need a test called a blood culture
should I just cover up and sweat it out when these attacks happen or do as my wife wants and call 911? I had a very bad one last night lasted about 20 mins.. plus what can I do if anything so they can find a vein to draw blood? i'm kinda in a hard spot with my veins.
If you can't breath during the attacks then you should call 911. To get blood they don't need a vein, they can do a femoral stick to take blood from your femoral vein, or take blood from an artery. Any doctor can do these
They don't need to locate a vein to do them
ok, so it sounds like i'm doing everything possible during these attacks? It just scaring me because they are getting worse and more severe. Thanks for they help.
You're very welcome
If you have questions in the future you may request me
If you have any other questions on this topic please feel free to ask
I think you're doing everything possible during these attacks

NASHVILLE � Republican U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais reached the finish line of his re-election bid Tuesday before potentially damaging trial transcripts from his volatile 2001 divorce were made public.
NASHVILLE � Republican U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais reached the finish line of his re-election bid Tuesday before potentially damaging trial transcripts from his volatile 2001 divorce were made public.
The divorce became a factor in the race when documents revealed that DesJarlais, a physician, had an affair with a patient and urged her to get an abortion.
The congressman�s attorney blocked the release until a transcript was complete, and Democratic Party officials said the court reporter couldn�t finish the work in time for voters to evaluate the records before the polls would close.
DesJarlais, whose campaign platform includes his opposition to abortion, was challenged by Democratic state Sen. Eric Stewart in the only tightly contested race for nine House incumbents seeking re-election in Tennessee this year.
Stewart hoped that conservative voters who back Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney were upset enough by the revelations about DesJarlais� personal life to split their tickets and vote for him. But even some of Stewart�s supporters weren�t convinced.
�I don�t think Stewart had a chance before that popped, but I don�t think he has much chance now,� said early voter Jim Rust, a 67-year-old college psychology professor from Rutherford County who voted for the Democrat last week. �Small, but he�s got a chance. It�s better than he had before.�
DesJarlais has blamed �a disgruntled, defeated ex-congressman, a vindictive ex-wife, and a desperate Democratic candidate� for dredging up details from his past. More than 120,000 ballots were cast during early voting in the district, which stretches from Rutherford County, across southern Middle Tennessee to Bradley County in East Tennessee.
In the Memphis suburb of Collierville, financial adviser Kevin Baltier, 44, said he voted for Romney because he believed the Republican�s his tax plan and economic strategy would spur investment in the United States and help the overall economy. He praised Ryan�s knowledge of budget issues and ability to work with fellow members of Congress.
The married father of two boys also said President Barack Obama�s campaign has failed to reach him.
�This class envy that the president has created to get re-elected, I don�t know whether he believes it or not, but he certainly has used it as a populist message,� he said.
In Knoxville, Micki Fox said she has known who she was voting for four years.
�Barack Obama in 2008, and I have never wavered,� said Fox, administrator of the University of Tennessee College of Law.
Fox said poor economic conditions have affected her family, but said she doesn�t believe that was Obama�s fault.
�I think he�s done the best he can with what he inherited,� Fox said.
In Nashville, Josephine Wright wore her �I Voted� sticker Tuesday at the Napier Community Center.
�I always wear it so the kids will know how important it is to vote on election day,� said Wright, who is African-American. �Once upon a time we, as a people, could not cast a vote.�
Republican U.S. Sen. Bob Corker was expected to cruise to a second six-year term on Tuesday, a far cry from the less than his 3-percentage point win over Democrat Harold Ford in 2006. This time Corker faces part-time floor installer Mark Clayton, whom the Democratic Party disavowed soon after the primary because of his anti-gay platform and dubious Democratic credentials.
Clayton won 48,000 votes in a seven-way Democratic primary in August, and fended off a federal lawsuit brought by another Democratic candidate who sought to remove Clayton from the November ballot. He did not raise enough money to trigger federal campaign finance reporting requirements, while Corker has spent $4.7 million.
The state�s eight congressional incumbents other than DesJarlais have had easy campaigns.
Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen of Memphis is predicting a landslide victory despite Republican opponent George Flinn spending heavily in that race. The state�s other Democratic congressman, Jim Cooper of Nashville, faces political unknown Brad Staats.
Freshman Rep. Diane Black of Gallatin faces no opposition after trouncing Lou Ann Zelenik in the Republican primary in August. Among the remaining Republicans, Rep. Phil Roe of Johnson City faces Democrat Alan Woodruff of Gray; Rep. Jimmy Duncan faces Troy Goodale, both of Knoxville; Rep. Chuck Fleischmann of Chattanooga is opposed by Mary Headrick of Maynardville; Rep. Marsha Blackburn of Brentwood faces Credo Amouzouvik of Clarksville; and Stephen Fincher of Halls is challenged by Timothy Dixon of Germantown.

Fire crews extinguish grass blaze in hills
About 40 firefighters quickly extinguished a two-alarm vegetation fire Tuesday morning that started off a hiking trail in a canyon below Claremont Avenue.
The fire broke out at about 11:30 a.m., and was brought under control at 11:56 a.m., fire officials said.
Battalion Chief Lisa Baker said about 1.5 acres burned in windy, dry conditions that prompted the response from the Oakland Fire Department, Cal Fire and the East Bay Regional Park District fire department.
There were no injuries.
The fire erupted about 200 feet from the road down a steep hillside about a quarter mile from Fish Ranch Road. Baker said at this time the fire is considered accidental.

Wendy's shooting suspect arrested
One of the suspects in the shooting of a man outside a Wendy's restaurant earlier this month has been arrested, police said Tuesday.
Concord police detectives arrested a 17-year-old on suspicion of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon, Concord police Lt. David Hughes said.
Police last week issued an arrest warrant for those charges against the 17-year-old as well as Gustavo Mendez, and caught up to the former around 6 p.m. Friday in San Francisco, Hughes said.
Mendez remains on the loose and is considered armed and dangerous, Hughes said.
The 17-year-old, a Concord resident, was taken to Juvenile Hall in Martinez, where he remained in custody Tuesday.
Mendez, a Fairfield resident, is described as 5-foot-10, 170 pounds and has black hair and brown eyes, police said. Anyone who sees him is urged to avoid contact and call 911.
Anyone with information about Mendez's whereabouts may leave a confidential tip at 925-603-5836 or call Detective Adam Hart at 925-671-3040.

Train fatally hits man, injures another person
One man was killed and another rushed into surgery Monday night after they were hit by a fast-moving train at the Santa Clara Caltrain station, transit officials said.
The two victims were apparently on the tracks at the station adjacent to Santa Clara University when they were hit by northbound train No. 375 around 5:30 p.m., Caltrain spokeswoman Jayme Ackemann said.
One of the men was pronounced dead at the scene; the other was taken to a hospital with serious injuries but is expected to survive.
Seventy people were on the train at the time of the incident, which officials deemed a light ridership because of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. Ackemann said the train was an express commuter that does not stop at the Santa Clara station and was traveling between 50 and 70 mph.
The incident is the first Caltrain fatality of the year, Ackemann said. The last fatality was on Oct. 14 in Menlo Park.

Afghan attack kills 16; Taliban claim responsibility
KABUL – An Afghan official says that at least 16 people, including four foreign soldiers, have been killed in a suicide attack near a clinic in eastern Afghanistan.
The international coalition said Tuesday that four of its service members were killed in an attack in eastern Afghanistan but did not disclose any further details, including their nationalities.
Wahid Seddiqi, spokesman for the provincial governor of Parwan province said the soldiers, at least 10 civilians, and two police officers were killed when a suicide bomber attacked Afghan and foreign forces near Charakar, the provincial capital.
It comes one day after five policemen were killed in an insurgent attack in western Afghanistan, as the country grapples with an increase in violence during the presidential election.

'Harry & the Thief' playwright expected at Know Theatre
The Know Theatre opens its new season with Sigrid Gilmer's "Harry & the Thief."
Loosely, the plot is a travel-back-in-time quest to find Harriet Tubman and give her guns.
Producing artistic director Andrew Hungerford shared that he'd never heard so much laughing at the first reading as he did with this show.
The cast includes lots of Cincinnati's top talent, including: Darnell Benjamin, Burgess Byrd, Piper Davis, Ken Early, Rico Reid, Meggy Hai Trang, Sola Thompson, Brent Vimtrup and Torie Wiggins. Los Angeles-based Holly Derr directs.
Gilmer is expected to come to Cincinnati to see the performance and talk with the audience and cast after the show. The date is yet to be confirmed.
"Harry & the Thief" was one of 300 plays nominated for The Kilroys' list of best new plays by women.
The play runs Aug. 8-30. For tickets, call 513-300-5669 or visit www.knowtheatre.com.

Cats were domesticated from African wild cats (Felis silvestris lybica), which are native to North Africa and south-western Asia. It was thought cats were first domesticated in ancient Egypt about 4000 years ago to control mice, but a cat skeleton, recently found in association with a 9500-year-old human burial in Cyprus, suggests taming occurred much earlier in Asia.

Are there any cultures where people don't kiss?
The anthropologists who studied the Simbari and Baruya tribes, belonging to the Anga or Kukukuku culture of Papua New Guinea, report that kissing between adults is unknown. Men and women of these tribes avoid physical contact in public; they do not sit close, nor do they touch or fondle. The idea of mixing saliva with a woman is repugnant to men of these tribes and those who have seen outsiders kiss consider it shocking. However, Baruya mothers, aunts and sisters noisily kiss babies' bodies.
Bob Grieve, Marsfield
Kissing is not a universal practice. Finnish tribes view kissing as indecent; and in many African tribes kissing is not customary. Segments of Chinese culture used to be offended by kissing, even considering it to be a form of cannibalism.
David Buley, Seaforth
What makes thin plastic such as Gladwrap cling?
Gladwrap clings for two reasons: the first is the elasticity of the film; when it is stretched to cover something, it will attempt to contract to its original size. The second is static electricity, which causes it to become attracted to other surfaces - including itself!
Paul Dodd, South Yarra
Attitude. How else could it seek out your arms, face or the fridge door without even hinting at companionship with the salad bowl? When it surrenders and does stick to the bowl, beware. It is just foxing. Next time you'll be left standing like a transparent mummy, while it goes giggling and bouncing along the floor, all remaining 20 metres of it.
Simon Bartholomew, Armidale
When parking in a timed, non-metered spot, what is the minimum action needed to start the time again from scratch?
Having been on the road as a commercial traveller for the past 25 years, the trick here is to be careful and watchful. In most areas the parking officer will mark your car with chalk. I have been advised by the same parking officers, over the years, that once your time has expired you have to wait the equivalent time period featured to park in the same spot again. You just can't go round the block and park in the same spot. You theoretically can't even move up to another spot in front of your original spot. You are supposed to leave that whole area for the time prescribed. So the best remedy is to have some steel wool with you and just erase the chalk mark from your tyre when you see it.
Andrew Edson, Summer Hill
Any answers?
- Why does hair go grey at the temples first?
- Why is it that at the butcher's, chicken is cheaper than beef, but dearer on a pizza or in a kebab?
- Why do Americans drop the "H" when pronouncing "herb" and "herbal"?
- Who decided, and why, that women's coats are buttoned right-over-left and men's left-over-right?

There is a Solution that makes Both Retailers and Publishers Happy.
By Imad Khan
The Problem
Since the dawn of physical media, there has been a struggle between publishers and used retailers. US copyright law has a thing called the First-Sale Doctrine. It stipulates that once a piece of property has been obtained, and legal ownership moves from the seller to the buyer, the buyer then has the ability to do what he or she pleases. The person can give it away, sell it, or burn it; it's their property. The problem arises when publishers lose potential sales to resellers. This poses problematic when a publisher pours money down a project just to see that half of their potential sales yielded no profit.
The Rumors
Rumors have been floating that the new Xbox, codenamed Durango, will disable the ability to play used games. If this is true, then that could be immensely detrimental for the gaming community. The main reason being that game publishers eventually stop printing copies of games. Meaning that if you wanted to play a game that has since ceased printing, you will either have to hunt down a new copy at an exorbitant price, buy it digitally - as long as the game is up for download - or deal with the fact that you will never play that game.
The Solution
I have a copy of Windows 7 I bought from my campus' computer store. The disc came with an activation code that will only work for that disc. On the back of the disc, there is a bar-code which links the activation code to that specific disc. I assume this will be the same way Microsoft will lock a copy of a game to one console. They will include an activation code with every game to link a specific disc to a specific console. This will also entail that for a game to activate, the console must be connected to the internet during activation. Activation codes are nothing new for PC gamers for they have been dealing with them for quite some time.
Once a game has stopped being printed permanently, and there are no plans for future printing, then there is no harm in allowing used sales. Clearly the publisher doesn't intend on profiting of the game any longer, so Microsoft could easily unlock all copies of the game - via a small update - allowing for used sales and lending. Another thing publishers could do to battle used sales is to offer their own used services. A publisher, such as Ubisoft, could have a program in which consumers can sell their old Ubisoft games back to them for credits. The idea is that once a consumer has built up enough Ubisoft credits, they can purchase new games or special memorabilia directly from Ubisoft. A program such as this can not only be successful, but yield pure profit to the publisher.
This is what I think can be done to solve the used sales issue. Do you guys agree or have better ideas? Sound off in the comments section below.

I really Love these posters that speak out against cultural appropriation, stereotyping, and racism during Halloween. The campaign was launched this year by Ohio University's Students Teaching Against Racism in Society (STARS) and has been circulating throughout the blogosphere and social media networks. I'm glad this campaign exists because every Halloween I'm disgusted by the (mostly white) people who choose to dress up as horribly offensive racial stereotypes. "It's no big deal," they say, "it's just for fun, stop being so sensitive!"
As the picture above depicts, racism isn't hard to find during Halloween. You'll be walking through your local Halloween store and see costume packages depicting mostly white men and women dressed up in pathetic, westernized perversions of non-white cultures. At Halloween parties, you might be having a good time with your friends when, suddenly, a group of white people wearing shoe polish on their faces burst into the room and, yeah, *record scratch.*
Even though I know racism is alive and well in society, I was a little surprised by the conversations surrounding this campaign. Instead of listening to the people who are hurt by the way their ethnic and/or religious backgrounds are appropriated, mocked, and stereotyped, critics of this campaign have called anti-racist efforts "censorship," "oversensitive," and "overreacting." Several times, a friend and I were called "racist" or "anti-white" by white people who wanted to derail the conversation about racism by focusing on problematic "reverse racist" arguments. Before we knew it, we were being accused of "denying" white people the "right" to perpetuate racist stereotypes about non-white cultures. Seriously? You feel so "oppressed" because you're being asked to not be racist and make a mockery of another culture? Wow, that must be painful.
Perhaps what is most offensive to me is how concerns about people using other cultures as "costumes" is written off as "oversensitive" and accused of "dividing" people. There's a "blaming-the-victim" tone in that argument, as if people of color offended by others using their cultures as "costumes" should "toughen up" and "stop being so darn sensitive!" Speaking out against racist stereotypes is about understanding people's experiences, which includes making the effort to see realities from their perspective. That brings people together, generates dialogue, and works to establish understanding and respect. Arrogantly judging people's feelings and experiences does not.
Imagine how damaging and injurious the experience would be for a Mexican student to see his/her white peers dressing up as Mexicans on Halloween, imitating Mexican "accents," and acting in ways that mimic media stereotypes about Mexicans. Imagine how offensive and harmful it would be for a Muslim student to see his/her white peers dress up as "Muslim terrorists" and act accordingly to media stereotypes. Imagine how hurtful and terrible it would be for a black student to see his/her white peers shoe polishing their faces to look black, especially considering the loaded racist history blackface has in the US. Think about how traumatizing all of these experiences can be. Furthermore, the white people dressing up as Mexicans, Africans, Arabs, South Asians, East Asians, Native peoples, and so on, don't have to deal with the marginalization, discrimination, stereotyping, demonization and other forms of oppression that those groups face on a daily basis. When white people say people of color are "overreacting" or being "hypersensitive," they are not only asserting their "authority" and "credibility" on what is to be deemed appropriate or offensive, but also defining the realities of people of color. The dismissal of anti-racist concerns is an insult to their intelligence, which also reinforces the racist logic that the dominant group must speak for and define minority groups.
And when people say they're "not racist" and actually "care" for the people they're using as "costumes," they should be informed about the struggles communities of color face. If you say you care about people of color, then fight racism in education, law enforcement, politics, media, and so on. Show solidarity with these communities and speak out against the stereotypes that have been normalized about them. Solidarity in social justice struggles expresses more care for the community than using their culture(s) as "costumes." You say you care about Muslims? Then when Muslims tell you that your "suicide bomber costume" is offensive, you should put your "costume" aside, along with your ego.
There are a lot of amazing posts on this subject and instead quoting from all of them, I will share a few links below. Please take the time to read the posts, especially if, for whatever reason, you still don't understand why cultural appropriation and using race and culture as "costumes" is offensive.
I hope everyone has a safe, anti-racist, anti-sexist, and bigotry-free Halloween!

New Delhi: Companies from the emerging markets are slowly making their presence felt—globally.
Boston Consulting Group's global challengers for 2013 are from 17 countries, seven more than in 2006.
As in previous years, China and India boast the highest number, with 30 and 20 global challengers, respectively. The BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China) as a whole though, once home to 84 challengers, are now home only to 69.
"These (emerging) markets have become highly prized by companies everywhere, not just for their growth but also as sources of talent, capital, and companies," the BCG report said.
Over the past five years, more than 1,000 companies headquartered in the emerging markets have reached at least $1 billion in annual sales.
"Many of these are content to focus on their home market, while the others are expanding abroad. And many of those that are going overseas aspire to be global leaders in their industries. These are the global challengers. They are the companies that will shape the global economy over the next decade," the report said.

Raptors (11-24), Hornets (8-27)
It was over when
DeMar DeRozan breezed in for a layup along the right baseline, giving Toronto a 92-81 lead with about 1:30 remaining. The Raptors trailed 69-62 entering the fourth quarter, but completely dominated the final 12 minutes, outscoring the Hornets by a 33-15 margin. New Orleans dropped its second straight game following the All-Star break, losing the momentum it had built prior to the midseason hiatus.
Hornets MVP: Marco Belinelli led the Hornets with 20 points, including 6-for-6 shooting from the foul line. He also grabbed seven rebounds. Other than one layup apiece by Jarrett Jack and Lance Thomas, Belinelli was the only New Orleans player to tally a field goal in the fourth quarter, with a pair of three-pointers.
Hornets Sixth Man of the Game: Jack was given the in-arena distinction, but lets go with Solomon Jones. The backup center, who is in the second of two 10-day contracts, delivered a second straight valuable contribution, this time posting nine points and six rebounds in 24 minutes. The previous night in Chicago, Jones had 10 points and four boards in 20 minutes.
The buzz on
a letdown after a near-miss in Chicago. Coaches and players often say there are no moral victories in the NBA, but even if there were, Monty Williams expressed concern that Tuesdays four-point defeat against the Bulls was fools gold, because it would mean absolutely nothing when the team took the home floor 24 hours later in New Orleans. Williams adamant trepidation proved prophetic, as the Hornets lost by double digits to a struggling Raptors team, the first NOLA defeat by 10 points or more since a Feb. 8 home rout against the Bulls. Its frustrating after the effort we gave in Chicago, Jack said of coming back a day later to lose to Toronto. Youve got to be ready regardless and have the same approach (every game), regardless of who youre playing. Especially when they come into your building. You have to feel like this is a place you really want to protect.

Glucose Transporter Type 1 Deficiency Syndrome
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Glucose Transporter Type 1 Deficiency Syndrome is not the name you expected.
General Discussion
Glucose transporter type 1 (Glut1) deficiency syndrome is a rare genetic metabolic disorder characterized by deficiency of a protein that is required for glucose (a simple sugar) to cross the blood-brain barrier. The most common symptom is seizures (epilepsy), which usually begin within the first few months of life. However, the symptoms and severity of Glut1 deficiency syndrome can vary substantially from one person to another. For example, some affected individuals may not develop epilepsy. Additional symptoms that can occur include movement disorders, developmental delays, and varying degrees of cognitive impairment and speech and language abnormalities. Glut1 deficiency syndrome is caused by mutations in the SLC2A1 gene and is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. Rarely, the condition also may be inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. Glut1 deficiency syndrome does not respond to traditional epilepsy treatments (e.g., anti-seizure medications), but has been successfully treated with the ketogenic diet.
Glut1 deficiency syndrome was first described in the medical literature in 1991 by Dr. De Vivo, et al. The disorder is sometimes known as De Vivo disease. Glut1 deficiency syndrome is classified as an epileptic encephalopathy. Epileptic encephalopathies are a group of disorders in which seizure activity is associated with progressive psychomotor dysfunction. Paroxysmal exercised-induced dyskinesias (PED), also known previously as dystonia 18 and dystonia 9, are now considered part of the Glut1 deficiency syndrome spectrum. Epilepsy commonly presents in infancy whereas PED commonly emerges in late childhood and adolescence.

We no longer need to run fc-cache here as this will be done by Xft. Also,
since XFree86 3.x is no longer supported in this release of pango, remove

Run fc-cache -f after installing pango just to make sure GNOME 2
gets some fonts registered. The real fix for this will be to make sure
each XFree86 font port runs fc-cache after installation. This is being
committed here so to fix the GNOME package install for 4.8-RELEASE.

Here's the Meryl Streep Lifetime Original Movie the World Isn't Ready For
By Katey Rich
With her long-lasting marriage to Don Gummer, well-adjusted children, and wildly successful career, Meryl Streep is no one's ideal candidate for a Lifetime Original Movie tell-all. (Unless there are some behind-the-scenes stories from "Julie & Julia" we're just really not ready for.) So the closest we'll ever probably come is this Funny or Die effort, starring Christina Applegate as Streep in the role she — nor anyone else — was certainly not born to play.
Funny or Die has yet to respond to our requests to borrow some of those wigs for the Meryl Streep-exclusive costume party we've been dreaming of throwing for years.

Arguably the most amazing yacht Sea Ray has ever built. The wow-features are endless, beginning with a fully protected bridge deck with two retractable sunroofs, teak flooring and a 360-degree panoramic view. There is an elegant salon with state-of-the-art entertainment center, two luxurious staterooms and a wealth of gracious amenities throughout.
The helm deck, within the enclosure, is solid in teak. A high gloss, teak table serves the rotational lounge abaft the helm seating. This lounge is in two sections that can each be slid around on circular tracks. A grill and refrigerator are here, as is a wet bar with a sink and trash bin. A flat-screen TV hangs above. Aft, the cockpit lounge, seats 10 in plush, padded style, beneath the hardtop's shade. You'll find a grill and bow and stern thrusters are standard. Moving inside the 55' Sundancer's companionway and down the teak-treaded steps into the maple-soled salon, and the U-shaped galley, with bull-nosed, faux-stone countertop. A big screen TV that rises at the touch of a switch from this counter. Beneath are separate under counter stainless-steel Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer units. Cabinetry and stateroom doors are satin cherry. To starboard is the salon with a plush convertible/ sleeper lounge and table. To aft is the master stateroom. Soft light gleams through opaque panels, and mini blinds striate the sunlight as it pours through the huge, hull side windows. The full beam master features 6'4" of headroom and a queen-size berth. There is space for a pair of upholstered chairs with a booth-style table. The master also boasts a private head with a teak sole and a tiled shower stall. Guests will enjoy an island berth in the forward stateroom, which also features four port holes, mini blinds regulate natural light, walk-in hanging locker, as well as private access to the day head with tiled shower stall.

Relief pitcher Reed Scott, himself a hero for his majestic performance in one of South Carolina's most far-fetched victories in recent memory, revealed perhaps the most astounding detail about Max Schrock's unforgettable game-tying homer with two outs and two strikes in the bottom of the ninth on Saturday in the first game of a doubleheader at Carolina Stadium.
Schrock's ankle was so painful after his 4-for-5 outing in Friday night's loss to Ole Miss that he didn't even bother taking batting practice before the first pitch of USC's third home twinbill this season.
Didn't matter.
"I've never witnessed something like that," Scott marveled after USC completed a remarkable sweep of the Rebels. "To see somebody not take BP and step up and be able to do that is pretty impressive."
Schrock was told by USC Associate Trainer Brainard Cooper at some point he arrived at the ballpark early for treatment that he would likely be held out of action on Saturday unless a pinch-hitting opportunity arose in the late innings.
Schrock continued to get treatment on his ankle throughout the first game of Saturday's doubleheader and was taped up in the eighth inning when he was told, 'Be ready to go. You're going in there in the ninth,' according to Schrock.
"So I went (to the dugout) and told Coach (Chad) Holbrook I was ready to go," Schrock said. "He called my name and I went up there. I didn't feel very loose."
Holbrook rattled off the determining factors in electing to use Schrock as a pinch-hitter for Elliott Caldwell.
"The wind was blowing out to right. We were down two runs. We needed a pop fly and Max can hit a fly ball to right field," Holbrook said. "It just worked out. People say it was a great decision. But the kid made the play. He is capable of doing that.
"Honestly, it was a no-brainer. They had a right-handed pitcher in there and we had the best hitter on our team sitting in the dugout and he could only do one thing - swing a bat. Well, I'm not the sharpest pencil in the box, but anybody would have put Max Schrock up in that situation. He got a pitch to hit and it worked out for us. He had all the intangibles to hit in that spot."
Most gut-wrenching step in the process? Informing Caldwell he was being lifted for a pinch-hitter. Caldwell was 2-for-4 with a double entering the ninth.
"He was not a happy camper," Holbrook said. "He wanted to fight me. But I want kids that want to fight me. I want kids that want to be up there. He said, 'You kidding me?' I said, 'No. I'm not kidding.' That's what I want. No coach wants a kid to say 'thank you' when you take him out of the game.' He had a good day for us. He put some good swings on it."
Schrock fell behind 1-2 in the count, saw a fastball up in the strike zone and took a mighty swing.
Tie game. Crowd goes wild.
"I saw a pitch up and put a pretty good swing on it," Schrock said. "I definitely wasn't thinking home run. The guy on the mound was good. I had two strikes on me, so was I was just trying to stay up the middle and put it in play and keep the inning alive."
Schrock, who said his ankle was 'a little sore and still a little swollen' in post-doubleheader interviews, hobbled around the bases in a scene reminiscent of Kirk Gibson's iconic game-winning homer off Dennis Eckersley of the Oakland A's in the 1988 World Series.
"Anybody growing up as a baseball player, you've seen that video hundreds of times," Schrock said. "When I was rounding second base, it was kind of hard not to have that image in my mind."
Once the series victory over Ole Miss was secured following a remarkable day of baseball, attention of Gamecock supporters turned to Monday's major polls. Was winning two out of three games over a nationally ranked program sufficient for USC to keep its No. 1 ranking?
USC stayed atop the Baseball America poll, widely regarded as the most reliable and trustworthy ranking in the industry, and the Collegiate Baseball poll. The Gamecocks rose one spot to No 2 in the Perfect Game USA poll.
Scott emerged from the shadow of Cody Mincey and Joel Seddon in Saturday's thrilling doubleheader lidlifter, hurling six scoreless innings in relief of ineffective starter Jack Wynkoop. Scott, a freshman from Roswell, Ga., dazzled the Ole Miss hitters with an assortment of pitches by allowing just three hits and walking none while striking out six Rebel batters.
"When I came in, I just wanted to make sure I kept it close because I knew our hitters were going to start scoring some runs," Scott said. "I wanted to throw strikes and keep them off-balance because they're an aggressive team."
Scott set down the first 12 Ole Miss batters he faced before allowing a leadoff single in the top of the eighth. By the time that inning ended, Ole Miss had seen a runner tagged out trying to score on a grounder and another runner gunned down at the plate by leftfielder Caldwell.
Overall, three Rebels were tagged out by USC catcher Grayson Greiner trying to score during the game, two on bullets to home plate by Caldwell.
Frustrations for Ole Miss climaxed in the top of the 10th when they put runners at first and third with one out, but failed to score as Seddon fanned the final two Rebel batters by throwing slider after slider.
Minutes later, pinch-hitter Brison Celek delivered the game-winning hit by singling into the right-field corner to score Greiner with the improbable game-winning run.
"I'm proud of Brison too because he could have tucked his head and been a little bit discouraged that he wasn't in the starting lineup," Holbrook said. "Lo and behold, he helped us win the game there against a really good pitcher. It was a group effort."
Compared to the theatrics of Game 1, the nightcap was tame by comparison as USC starter Wil Crowe (5.1 IP) and bullpen stalwarts Mincey and Sedddon shut down the Ole Miss offense on seven hits. The Rebels scored just one run over the final 16 innings in the series.
With USC clinging to a 2-1 lead, Mincey took over from USC starter Wil Crowe with the bases loaded and one out in the top of the sixth and immediately induced an inning-ending double play grounder to freshman second baseman Jordan Gore.
"Coach (Jerry) Meyers just told me to pitch like I have been pitching, keep the ball low and try to get a slider outside or a fastball away," Mincey said. "Just try to make a pitch to get a ball to Gore or try to get a strikeout."
Tanner English was a starting freshman outfielder in 2012 when USC advanced as far as the national championship series in Omaha, so he has witnessed his share of amazing wins by the Gamecocks over the past three seasons.
His personal experiences augment his significant knowledge about the recent history of USC, the lone team in the country with 200 or more wins from 2010-2013.
"That has been Carolina baseball's M.O. for a while now," English said. "We're not going to give up. We're going to keep fighting. As you've seen, we've been down in some games and we've come back. You can never let your guard down and give up. Baseball is a funny game.
"Coach Holbrook always talks about the baseball gods. The baseball gods are going to help you out if you're playing hard and giving it your all for all nine innings. We're going to do that every time we're out on the field."
English said Schrock's memorable heroics energized USC in the second game.
"It definitely propelled us," English said. "That was crazy. You don't see that a lot. Max is a very special hitter. I know he is hurting and I know he wants to be on that field. He definitely helped us out this weekend with some really good swings."
The last time the exceptional USC bullpen allowed a run? Opening series against Bucknell. Five different Gamecock relievers blanked Ole Miss over 13.2 innings during the three-game series.
With one of the most heart-pounding series wins in recent memory now in the books, USC embarks on the first extended road trip of the season with games at The Citadel and Kentucky on the calendar this week.
One out away from a series-clinching victory in the second game of a doubleheader Saturday at Alabama, the Wildcats surrendered a game-tying two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth and then a walk-off blast one inning later as the Tide pulled out an improbable win.

Migration, Household Composition, and Child Welfare in Rural Northeast Thailand
In many developing countries the composition of rural households is influenced by the migration of adult household members to urban locations in search of employment. Children may be left in the care of their mother alone, or in the care of grandparents when both parents have migrated. Using representative data from a household survey conducted in rural Northeast Thailand in 2003, this paper investigates whether household composition has any effect on the welfare of children, as measured by anthropometric measurements including height-for-age, weight-for-age, and weight-for-height. Our findings suggest that household types other than nuclear families result in some significantly worse child nutritional outcomes. The implication is that governments should protect the welfare of the children of migrants, either through targeted programs or through increased opportunities for employment in rural areas.

Shaun White is getting pretty good at this acting thing.
Since the last time he competed in the X Games, he has filmed commercials for BF Goodrich tires, Oakley sunglasses and Stride gum. Most notably, he went totally against his nice-guy image in a wild cameo appearance as Justin Timberlake's nemesis in the recently released movie "Friends with Benefits."
His Target clothes line is bigger than ever, and it seems like he has more projects in the pipeline than the king of action sports marketing, Tony Hawk.
It all spells out a fabulous life for the red-headed 24-year-old from Carlsbad, who earlier this month won his fourth straight ESPY award for Best Male Action Sports Athlete.
But it does produce this question: Does he have time to actually get on a skateboard anymore?
White laughed at the idea earlier this week as he prepared for Saturday's X Games 17 skateboard Vert competition in the Nokia Theatre at L.A. Live.
He understands why his legion of fans might think his competitive edge has been softened by his other pursuits. But he insists he is as motivated as ever.
"Doing different sports and different things, it's awesome for me," White said. "The more time I'm taken away from skateboarding and snowboarding, the more excited I am to do them. I'm refreshed, and I'm thankful of the whole position I'm in."
A year ago going into the X Games, White was still floating on the buzz of winning his second halfpipe gold medal in the Vancouver Winter Olympics. He was nursing a sore ankle, too. It's safe to say neither his head nor body were completely ready for the X Games, and he finished second in Vert to Carlsbad's Pierre-Luc Gagnon, who won his third straight gold in the discipline.
"The transition (from snowboarding to skateboarding) is a pain," White said. "It's terrible having to re-learn every single trick you've ever done. When I first come back, I try to do my training in private because I'm so embarrassed."
White, laughing, added, "I'll get these 8-year-olds at the skatepark yelling, 'Stick to the snowboard!' It's insane. It's a big challenge every year I come back. Every year I wonder if this is going to be the year that I can't do any tricks."
White is serious enough about being a contender that he added a portable halfpipe ramp to his yard in Carlsbad. But he's rusty. He finished third in the first Dew Tour event of the summer behind Carlsbad's Bucky Lasek and Gagnon. Last summer, White got back at Gagnon for the X Games loss by winning the last three Dew Tour events.
Gagnon, a French-Canadian, and White have become strong rivals and even better friends.
"The relationship I have with Pierre, I don't have that in the snowboarding world," White said. "We hang out, we shoot each other texts. I understand his mindset. He's just as upset to not do well in an event as I am."
Said Gagnon, nodding toward White, "This guy is so good. He excels every year."
White has the most gold medals (11) in Winter X Games history compared to the single gold medal he won in the 2007 Vert in Los Angeles. In some ways, he has always been playing catch-up after starting his action sports career in the snow.
The sport's best wonder how good he could be if he wasn't so popular and in demand elsewhere.
"If he could spend a little more time skating," Hawk said, "he'd be unstoppable."

Jessica Biel on Justin Timberlake: 'He Has Better Taste Than I Do'
Jessica Biel is stunning in her own right but she recently admitted to falling short in comparison to husband-to-be Justin Timberlake in one area: fashion.
"I'll be honest: he has better taste than I do!" she told InStyle, adding that Timberlake picked out her engagement ring on his own, without her input. "He is fearless in his choices and has a real eye for design."
The actress, who stars in August's Total Recall and September's The Tall Man, added that she's learned from her past relationship mistake. "In my earlier experiences with relationships, I really was vulnerable to somebody else's personality, hobbies, and way of life," Biel, 30, said. "But as I've gotten older, I've become proud of the traits that make me who I am."
Her biggest cue on how to have a healthy marriage came from watching her mom and dad. "The best thing I learned from [my parents] is that you have to put your relationship first," she added. "It is really easy to let that go by the wayside. It's easy to say, 'Hey. I'll see you later. I love you.' And you can't do that."

"Portable state-of-the-art medical equipment, sophisticated planes and modern computer links have made this medical mission possible," says TIME senior writer Jeffrey Kluger, "but it is only the intrepidness of the jet crew and the woman that will make it work." The woman, in particular, faces huge challenges. If a biopsy is called for, says Kluger, "she may have to do things herself that would make anyone skittish." These could include inserting a needle into her own breast tissue, staining the cells and interpreting the results. "These are things that would be hard enough to go through at the hands of someone else," says Kluger. Having to do it on oneself would have to be an unimaginable ordeal that we may never truly appreciate.
Better Than 'E.R.': High Drama at the South Pole
Whoever said that modern technology has taken the human spirit out of adventure? The plight of a woman at the South Pole's Amundsen-Scott research station who has discovered a lump in her breast shows that boldness and bravery are alive and well. Trapped in the hellish cold and ice of the region, which averages 80 degrees below zero during the current Antarctic winter, the woman, who is the doctor of the station, according to the New York Times, has had to deal with the possibility that she may have breast cancer. The Air Force jet crew, which over the weekend dropped essential medical equipment and supplies for the woman, had to fly through extreme cold, blustery and dark conditions few would ever dare to challenge. And the woman, who has requested anonymity, may now face the awesome possibility of having to perform medical procedures on herself.

1. The Russians are coming? At first glance, it was kind of a head-scratcher.
Members of the national press gallery awoke this morning to find a "read-out" from Dimitri Soudas, the Prime Minister's director of communications, in their e-mail in-boxes that described what seemed to have been an aerial defence against the Russians.
"On 24 August, two CF-18 Hornet fighter aircraft were launched and visually identified 2 Russian aircraft, the TU-95 Bear, approximately 120 nautical miles north of Inuvik, Northwest Territories. At their closest point, the Russian aircraft were 30 nautical miles from Canadian soil. The CF-18s shadowed the Bear aircraft until they turned around. The two CF-18s came from 4 Wing Cold Lake, Alberta," Mr. Soudas wrote.
OK, but you don't have to go very far north of Inuvik to find yourself over polar ice cap. Which is why, as Mr. Soudas went on to explain: "Thanks to the rapid response of the Canadian Forces, at no time did the Russian aircraft enter sovereign Canadian airspace."
And we all learned earlier this summer when a similar incident occurred and the Sun Media chain broke the news to suggest that a Russian attack had narrowly been averted that, in fact, these types of sorties occur 12 to 18 times a year without incident.
Why would Mr. Soudas be sending out this kind of missive in the wee hours of the morning?
Well, the government did just buy 65 Lockheed-Martin F-35s stealth fighters through an untendered contract worth $9-billion plus maintenance that will the total cost up to $16-billion.
And, as Daniel Leblanc reports in Wednesday's Globe and Mail, not everyone is happy about it. Critics want the government to explain why it chose the F-35s and why the purchase has to be made without going to tenders.
A new report from analyst Kenneth Epps of Project Ploughshares said the Harper government has yet to state exactly which types of missions the F-35s would handle, and why other types of aircraft couldn't do the same things. So Mr. Soudas is getting out ahead of those like Mr. Epps who would challenge the government's purchase.
"The CF-18 is an incredible aircraft that enables our Forces to meet Russian challenges in our North," he explained. "That proud tradition will continue after the retirement of the CF-18 fleet as the new, highly capable and technologically-advanced F-35 comes into service. It is the best plane our Government could provide our Forces, and when you are a pilot staring down Russian long range bombers, that's an important fact to remember."
2. Ready, aim, fire. Expect to hear much chatter about the long-gun registry in the coming weeks.
On Sept. 22, the Commons will vote on motion to scrap a Conservative private-member's bill that would kill the registry, which has emphasized Canada's urban-rural divide since it was brought in by the Liberals 15 years ago.
Because Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff has whipped his caucus to vote in favour of the motion, it will be up to a handful of New Democrats who have previously opposed the registry to decide whether the bill lives or dies.
Many of them won their seats by campaigning against the registry, which costs about $4 million a year to run, and a couple of them seemed to be squirming when asked Tuesday how they would vote.
Meanwhile, both Liberal MP Mark Holland and NDP Leader Jack Layton have demanded the release of an internal evaluation of the Canadian Firearms Program which was to have been completed in February of this year but has spent an unusual amount of time in translation.
The report is said to be favourable toward the gun registry, which has the support of Canada's police chiefs, and the opposition want it to be publicly available before the September vote. The Conservative government, however, says Canadians don't need the report to know that the registry is a waste of money.

text: Editorial: A real living wage for Stanford workers May 6, 2010 3 Comments Share tweet Editorial Board By: Editorial Board As students and members of the Stanford community, it is our responsibility to help ensure that all members of this community are treated with respect. Those who work to provide us with daily basic and essential services–the custodial, dining and maintenance workers of Stanford University–deserve our respect and appreciation for what they contribute to our lives on campus. As students and members of the community, we must remain aware of and receptive to the wage and cost-of-living issues that impact the livelihoods of these individuals. Since 2002, students and workers alike have been campaigning and negotiating to provide a living wage for all Stanford employees. Much progress has since been made as a result of student and worker efforts. However, the current living wage policy does not cover an overwhelming majority of campus workers. In 2007, the Living Wage Policy covered less than 150 of the thousands of Stanford workers. Currently, unionized workers remain excluded from the policy, along with employees of tenant businesses like the CoHo or Arbuckle Café, as well as those who work at SLAC and Stanford Hospital. In 2003 and again in 2007, groups of students chose to fast in order to pressure the administration to administer a broader living wage policy. After the demonstrations in 2003, President Hennessy convened the Presidential Committee on Labor Policies, which recommended unanimously that "if Stanford says that it operates a 'living wage' policy, it should do just that and not surround it with conditions and qualifications that result in only a few workers being covered by the policy." Students and workers organized and fasted in 2007 only after the committee's recommendations were denied. The current student-worker movement, which organized a large rally at Hennessy's office last Friday, is gaining momentum, along with an informational town hall series that has engaged students from across campus on University labor issues. A display in White Plaza and a circulating petition are also helping to inform more Stanford community members of the Living Wage campaign and the issues at hand. We, the Editorial Board, believe that there are changes to the current Living Wage Policy which must be considered if the University is serious about fulfilling the promises made to the workers of Stanford. We believe a living wage should be granted to all University workers for whom a living wage was promised. As the campus has witnessed independent contractors continuing to pay University employees less than living wages, it has become necessary to create an enforcement mechanism which will correct any violations of Stanford's Living Wage Policy. As changes arise, students and members of the Stanford community should also be privy to any labor policy and analysis put forth by the University. In 2007, the Stanford Report noted that the less than 150 workers who were covered by the Living Wage Policy earned $12.59 an hour with no benefits. It is hard to fathom supporting a family in Santa Clara or San Mateo on roughly $25,000 a year with no health insurance or other benefits. The Living Wage campaign is not asking for an increase in worker wages across the board, merely for the implementation of a policy that would provide decent wages for a majority of University workers. The Editorial Board believes that a dialogue regarding a more fair and inclusive Living Wage policy must be forged. Furthermore, the dialogue must progress more rapidly and achieve greater successes than previous negotiations, which after several years yielded few improvements for the majority of Stanford workers. 2010-05-06 Editorial Board May 6, 2010 3 Comments Share tweet Subscribe Click here to subscribe to our daily newsletter of top headlines.
