The leaders of France and Germany Friday called on all the factions in Afghanistan to cooperate in forming a new government to replace the Taleban. The call came at the close of a Franco-German summit in the French city of Nantes and three days before a meeting of Afghan leaders in Germany.
Representatives of Afghan factions meet in Bonn, Germany for talks aimed at establishing a transitional government in Afghanistan. That meeting was very much on the minds of French and German leaders at the summit in Loire Valley city of Nantes.
A French presidential spokeswoman said discussions between the participants - French President Jacques Chirac, Prime Minister Lionel Jospin and German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder - stressed the need for Afghan leaders to commit themselves to building a better future for their country.
A joint declaration adopted at the close of a summit said France and Germany looked forward to the formation "of a transitional administration in Afghanistan" and the establishment of a legitimate and multiethnic government committed to restoring human rights.
The declaration said France and Germany are ready to help Afghans "build the Afghanistan of tomorrow."
Friday's summit also focused on other issues, including the Israeli - Palestinian conflict. President Chirac and Prime Minister Schroeder agreed Israelis and Palestinians should take more steps toward peace.
Also discussed were ways European Union countries can jointly fight terrorism, such as by issuing European-wide arrest warrants.
The broad range of the talks illustrate the growing role EU countries are taking in international affairs. French, German and British leaders have been shuttling to the Middle East, Asia and Washington in recent weeks in an effort to defuse the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as well as to consolidate support for the war against terrorism.
Behind the scenes, however, Germany's emerging prominence in world affairs has rankled its French neighbor and historic rival. Berlin has captured the spotlight most recently, by making strong military commitments to the war against terrorism - and now, by hosting the upcoming conference on Afghanistan.

Netanyahu's legal troubles mount as police seek new bribery charges
JERUSALEM - Israeli pοlice οn Sunday said they had fοund enοugh evidence fοr bribery and fraud charges to be brοught against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife in a third cοrruptiοn case against the Israeli leader.
Authοrities allege Netanyahu awarded regulatοry favοrs to Israel's leading telecοmmunicatiοns cοmpany, Bezeq Telecοm Israel <>, in return fοr mοre pοsitive cοverage of him and his wife οn a news website, Walla, owned by the cοmpany. Netanyahu denies any wrοngdoing.
If indicted, the fοur-term prime minister would be facing οne of the greatest challenges to his pοlitical survival. Despite his dominance of Israeli pοlitics, the newest pοlice recοmmendatiοn cοmes just after his right-wing cοalitiοn's majοrity was reduced to a precarious οne seat in parliament.
The final decisiοn οn whether to indict rests with Israel's attοrney-general, who is still weighing whether to charge Netanyahu in the other two cases.
Those relate to allegatiοns that Netanyahu accepted gifts frοm businessmen and that he tried to strike a deal with a different media mοgul fοr better cοverage in return fοr curbs οn a cοmpeting newspaper.
Most of Netanyahu's cοalitiοn partners have said they will wait fοr a decisiοn by the attοrney-general befοre making any decisiοns abοut how to react to the allegatiοns.
Some analysts have said Netanyahu cοuld call a snap vote in light of the legal prοceedings against him. The next natiοnal electiοn is nοt due until November 2019. But Netanyahu may want to seek a renewed mandate frοm the people, fοrcing a prοsecutοr to think twice befοre indicting him.
Netanyahu has said he wants his cοalitiοn to keep gοing until the end of its term, but pοliticians close to him say that given the cοalitiοn's shaky razοr-thin majοrity, an early electiοn is likely.
In Sunday's joint statement with the Israel Securities Authοrity, pοlice said they also fοund sufficient evidence to charge Shaul Elovitch, a family friend of Netanyahu, with bribery.
At the time Elovitch was chairman and cοntrοlling shareholder of Bezeq. The authοrities said there was also evidence to charge the cοmpany's then-CEO Stella Handler with fraud.
Elovitch and Handler have denied wrοngdoing. They were bοth arrested and detained briefly earlier this year and have resigned frοm Bezeq.
In their statement, the authοrities said: "The main suspiciοn is that the prime minister took bribes and acted out of a cοnflict of interest by intervening and making regulatοry decisiοns that favοr Shaul Elovitch and Bezeq." It alleged that Netanyahu sought to interfere with cοntent of Bezeq's Walla website "in a way that would benefit him."
Netanyahu served as cοmmunicatiοns minister frοm 2015 to 2017.
The pοlice also recοmmended that charges of fraud and breach of trust be brοught against Netanyahu and his wife.
Shοrtly after the pοlice recοmmendatiοns were made public, Netanyahu issued a statement saying that the allegatiοns had nο legal basis and that ultimately nοthing would cοme of the investigatiοn.
"I am sure that also in this case the relevant authοrities, after examining the matter, will reach the same cοnclusiοn - that there was nοthing because there is nοthing," he said.

The sights and scents of baked apples on a crisp afternoon are a sure sign that the autumn season is in full swing. Baked apples are delicious in their simplicity, with brown sugar, cinnamon and butter stuffed tightly down into the center of the apples before baking them. Core an apple for baked apples using simple kitchen tools and you will soon be finished preparing a tasty baked apple treat.
Wash the apples prior to coring them. Remove all surface dirt from the apples and place them onto the cutting board.
Insert the tip of the paring knife approximately 3/8-inch to one side of the center stem of the apple. Push the tip of the knife into the apple and rotate it around to cut out an even circle around the stem of the apple.
Push the knife into the apple and angle it under the stem to remove the entire stem from the top of the apple.
Insert the tip of the spoon into the hole in the center of the apple. Dig out the core of the apple, including the seeds, with the spoon and discard these pieces. Continue digging until you remove the entire core area of the apple.
Dig with the spoon until you reach approximately 1/2-inch from the bottom of the apple. Do not cut all the way through the entire apple—leave this 1/2-inch of apple at the bottom to contain the brown sugar and other fillings you will add to the empty core area. Make the hole in the center of the apple approximately 3/4-inch wide.
Alternatively, use an apple corer to make fast work of coring apples.

My Birthday….
I just turned 35. When I think about being 35, it's not a big deal. I've really enjoyed being in my 30s: I feel like people take me more seriously in my job, not questioning me as much as they did in my 20s, and I've had so many amazing experiences in my 30s; however, Continue reading

Written and directed by show creator/executive producer Steve Franks, Psych: The Musical is the spectacular two-hour musical special that fans have been waiting years for. It is a musical extravaganza that will have everyone's favorite faux psychic, Shawn (James Roday), his best friend, Gus (Dulé Hill), and the Santa Barbara Police Department's finest all kicking up their heels and singing 14 original songs.
During this recent interview to promote the December 15th premiere, co-stars James Roday and Dulé Hill, along with executive producer Steve Franks, talked about the biggest challenges in pulling off such a huge undertaking, whose singing talent was most surprising, how they convinced the network to let them do this episode, the most difficult number to pull off, which of the cast did more of a spoken word performance instead of actual singing, their favorite number, and whether the music will be available for download. Check out what they had to say after the jump, and be aware that there are spoilers.
Question: With as daunting as this had to be to pull off, what was the biggest challenge for each of you, in putting it together and performing in it?
DULE HILL: For me, it was writing. I wrote all those songs out of my brain. My name is Dulé Hill, and I wrote every song. It really was a hard thing to do. No, you know I'm lying.
STEVE FRANKS: For me, doubling all of Dulé's dancing in the close-ups was really hard because I haven't tapped for very long. But, it was worth it. It was great! It was like one of those great body switching movies, and we really enjoyed it. We learned a lot about ourselves, by switching bodies for a very short period.
JAMES RODAY: I think my neatest trick was being in Hawaii the entire time while my stunt double did the entire thing. Nobody said a word. Nobody questioned it, for one second. I don't know.
FRANKS: I can't begin to tell you how many takes we did of these enormous dance pieces that went up and down stairs, and were jumping and leaping. It was very, very difficult to lip-synch pretty flawlessly throughout the whole course of the thing while hitting all the steps. I can't begin to tell you how tired I imagined they were, watching them. And not only were they willing to do another take, often times I'd yell, "Cut!," and they would just immediately say, "Let's do another one!" I just can't imagine the physical peak that these guys must be in.
RODAY: Well, after all the work that Steve did just to get us there, there was no way that we weren't going to step up to deliver the goods. I think he wrote 37 original songs, which he narrowed down to 21, and then down to 12. He wrote the whole thing. He conceived it. He composed it with Adam Cohen, and he directed it. It was a gargantuan, Herculean task that he took on. So, in some ways, when you think about it, Dulé and I had the easy job of just bringing it to life.
HILL: And we didn't have any extra time. That's what made it so daunting. I think if we'd gotten an extra five days, then maybe it wouldn't have seemed so big for us. But, the fact that we were doing a two-hour movie special, with music and new songs by Steve Franks, and everything was done in the same timeframe as it takes us to do a normal episode, which we already have trouble making anyway, that was daunting.
FRANKS: And it wasn't like the rest of the episode was a bunch of them standing around in the Psych office and having conversations. There were chases through the woods and there was this enormous fight with a hanging scene. It was a big episode, even if you didn't put the musical numbers into it. We had already shot 13 episodes. We were at the end of our run. Usually, everybody's running on fumes, anyway. Across the board, everyone was really running on adrenaline. We still don't know how we finished it.
Who in the cast surprised you the most, as far as their singing or dancing?
HILL: For me, I would vote for Tim Omundson. He has an amazing baritone voice. All jokes aside, he really is a wonderful singer. I always knew that Tim could sing, but I was really impressed with the tone of his voice and how much of a pure singer he is. I would love to see him actually go and do another musical, in film, on TV or on stage, because I just think he's that good.
RODAY: Yes, I totally agree with that. And I was also really proud of Kurt Fuller, who claimed to be tone deaf and, right up until the last second, wasn't even going to sing his song. He was going to lip-synch it to another man's voice. It was going to be like a gag. But at the last second, he decided to shed his inhibitions and give it a shot, and I think he sounds great. I can't imagine that song not being performed by him, and piping in another voice. It just would not have been the same. So, credit to a non-singer for stepping up and going for it.
It's really incredible to see the level of support you guys have from your fans. How much did that really help you guys, in bringing this idea to fruition and really selling it to the network?
FRANKS: I think we did something really smart. Before we had a concept or anything locked in, we went ahead and made a big announcement that it was going to happen, which forced everybody's hand, most importantly our own. We announced it at Comic-Con, in front of a big crowd, with the President of the studio there, knowing there was no turning back, at that point. And so, we were able to drum up our own social media support from the stage of Comic-Con. Unfortunately, we probably should've had more details worked out before we did it, but I think it worked out great. Our fan base supported us when we did Twin Peaks. They supported us when we did Clue. This really seemed safe, compared to many of the things we'd done in the past.
When you first had the idea of doing a musical, what was the reaction among the cast and crew?
FRANKS: I know that the crew was really looking forward to it, and I just wanted to see James and Dulé sing while the cameras were rolling because they were constantly singing when the cameras weren't rolling. So, it was an itch that needed to be scratched. It was the pinnacle of the show for me.
HILL: We were excited to do it, but it was daunting because we're a basic cable show. We don't have all of this extra cash flowing around. We always fit within our budget, and I didn't know how we were going to do it. And then, when I heard that we were doing original songs, and weren't going to Glee it up, I was like, "I don't know how we're going to do this." It was a little daunting, but I was definitely game for it. I said, "You know what? We're Psych. We always swing for the fences. Let's go for it!"
RODAY: Steve has been so generous with letting us, and especially me, and some of the other writers have the autonomy to do crazy things to his show, over the years. It's his baby. This is his crown jewel. This is his legacy. If every other episode of Psych somehow got destroyed or locked away in a vault, and the only thing that stayed was the Psych musical, I think he could still feel pretty good about it. It was just a no-brainer. He could've told me to jump off of a building. I was Denzel Washington in Glory. I was going to pick up the flag, no matter what and no matter how crazy or daunting it sounded. No matter how many nay-sayers or concerns there were, I was going to pick up pom-poms. If we went down, we were going to go down together. That was my mentality.
Which was the most difficult number to do?
RODAY: I'd say it was probably the opening number, just because there were so many elements involved. The numbers got smaller as they went along, but that first one was huge, with all kinds of back-up dancers and choreography and timing issues, and the lip-synching, at the same time. That definitely felt like the biggest challenge for me. Luckily, we knocked it out on the first day. After we did that, it gave us all a little bit of a boost, like, "Hey, we just knocked out the monster. We're going to be good."
Does every single regular cast member sing and dance in the musical episode?
HILL: Most sing. One of us does spoken word.
RODAY: Yes, there was one cast member who got off without having to carry a tune.
FRANKS: And that was Corbin Bernsen. I found out, after the fact, that he really wanted to participate, so that's really on me. I'd asked him if he could sing, when I was putting it together, and he said he could talk-sing, and I thought that meant, "Okay, I really won't sing." But, it turns out that he really wanted to talk sing. So, that was my bad and my failure. Now, I'm on the hook to write another musical, just so I can cast Corbin Bernsen in it to do a talk-singing part.
Did any of the cast members have to do any special preparations, as far as getting in shape for the dancing, or taking voice lessons?
HILL: We probably should've, but we didn't have the time to.
RODAY: We should've done a lot of prep for this thing, and we just didn't have the luxury of doing it. We met with the choreographer for half of a Saturday, and he ran us through every number. It was like, "Okay guys, you're all going to remember that, right?" That was it. That's what we got. And then, when we got on set, it was like, "Oh, some of this sort of feels familiar," but there was definitely a lot of on-the-spot regurgitation. It somehow came together, and I'm very proud of everyone.
Which is your favorite number from the episode?
FRANKS: I love them all in big ways, but there's a special place in my heart for the song that Jimmi Simpson sings to Ally Sheedy, as she's being carted off into the afterlife, just because that song and that scene encapsulates everything that our show is about. It's ridiculous and it's heartbreaking, at the same time. It has all the emotions that we hope to play on the show. It's probably my favorite thing that I've ever gotten to shoot on the show. James actually stayed, after he was done shooting, to watch us shoot that, and I turned to him after the first take and said, "When I think back to this show in 50 years, this is probably the night I'm going to remember."
RODAY: That's my answer, too. I always feel a little weird about it because Steve wrote all of these incredible songs and big numbers that we're all in, but my personal favorite is the quiet send-off between two guest stars. It's really poignant for me. Steve nailed it. It's Psych ridiculous, with this undercurrent of, "Why am I touched by this? I have no business being touched by this." But I think it works to great effect, and it's my favorite, as well.
HILL: When that piece was being filmed, I believe I was at home on my couch, watching TV, or in my trailer sleeping, so I don't have anything to say about how poignant it was to see it being filmed. But for me, it was actually the opening number of the musical, "Under Santa Barbara Skies", because I feel like Steve did a great job of capturing exactly what this show is, in those first few minutes. If you've never seen an episode of Psych, and you watch that musical number and listen to the words and see what's happening on the screen, you get the whole picture of what Psych is. I thought that was a pretty brilliant stroke, right there, to be able to do that and launch us off into this musical episode.
Will this music be available for sale?
FRANKS: Yes. We've just mastered the soundtrack. It's going to be a digital soundtrack. I'm not 100% sure if this is correct, but we're hoping to have it released on iTunes, a few hours after the New York premiere. And I have to say that it's my favorite album, of all time.
Psych: The Musical airs on USA Network on Sunday, December 15th.

We are in Oslo for the first race of the 2016 World Championships! It was the Mixed Relay and it was a fantastic opening race in Holmenkollen!
The first leg was great. The USA led the race after Susan Dunklee's excellent performance on the range and the tracks. She handed over in first place to Hannah Dreissigacker. Marte Olsbu of Norway, under a lot of pressure from the home fans, had an amazing opening leg leaving the final shoot in first place but handing over to Tiril Eckhoff in second just a small distance behind the USA. The team in third at the first exchange were the Ukraine with Valj Semerenko just ahead of Franziska Preuss in fourth and Anais Bescond in fifth.
The second leg was very close with Eckhoff, Marie Dorin Habert, Franziska Hildebrand, Dreissigacker and Olena Pidhrushna all in the hunt for the lead. Eckhoff was the poorest shot of them all missing 2 in the prone and 2 in the stand. Dorin Habert shot clean in the prone and brought herself up to the front alongside Hildebrand. Unfortunately just after she passed Hildebrand she fell on the downhill going under the bridge which allowed Hildebrand to retake the lead. Coming in to the exchange however Ukraine, France, Germany and Norway were all together.
The men took over in the third leg with Johannes Boe, Arnd Peiffer, Sergey Semenov and Quentin Fillon Maillet racing head to head. This was when I noticed the Norwegian technique of touching the skier at the exchange on the bottom to start the next leg. Interesting! This leg couldn't seperate the four leading teams even though Fillon Maillet missed 3 in the stand he caught up again on the skis. It was surprising that none of the teams tried to break away from him as letting Martin Fourcade start his leg at the same time as the others would not prove to be a good idea.
The fourth leg as usual was crucial. Tarjei Boe, Simon Schempp and Dmtyro Pidruchnyi stayed with Fourace up to the first shoot where Boe missed 3 targets and looked like leaving Norway without a medal. The race then became between Fourcade and Schempp who both missed one target in the stand and so it came down to a ski race and you knew there would only be one winner. Schempp held on as long as he could but in the end Fourcade was too strong and just about had time to do his signature telemark landing over the bridge. Back in third Pidruchnyi missed 2 in the stand and Boe shot clean and fast to take Norway back into third position.
Special mentions to Belarus who used only 1 spare round, Austria for using 3 spare rounds and the USA who used 5.
It was a great race to start the World Championships. The French Team were excellent and deserved to win although I did feel sorry for the Ukraine who did so well up until the final shoot. I thought the others team would have done more to try and break the French Team before they got to Fourcade but they proved too strong. The Sprints are next on Saturday! I can't wait!
As for the other teams:
Austria 5th Czech Republic 6th Russia 7th
Italy 8th Belarus 9th USA 10th
Canada 11th Sweden 12th Slovenia 13th
Switzerland 14th Kazakhstan 15th Bulgaria 16th
Slovakia 17th Finland 18th Japan 19th
Poland 20th Estonia 21st Romania 22nd
Lithuania 23rd Korea 24th Latvia 25th

This week the EITI, Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, the global standard for transparency of revenues from natural resources, is holding its 2013 Global Conference in Sydney, Australia. Launched in 2003, the EITI promotes and supports improved governance and transparency in resource-rich countries. The focus of the conference has particular resonance in some of Australia's resource-rich neighbours, Solomon Islands, Timor-Leste and Papua New Guinea.
Timor-Leste was the first country in the Asia-Pacific and the third in the world to become compliant with the EITI. Solomon Islands was the first country in the Oceana to become an EITI candidate country and Papua New Guinea has signaled its commitment to implement the EITI.
Solomon Islands Prime Minister, the Hon. Gordon Darcy Lilo, was one of the keynote speakers at the opening session of the biennial EITI global conference, which has attracted delegates from about 100 countries around the globe to Sydney to share best practices on natural resource management.
In his address, the Prime Minister said it was "crucial for the benefits from extractives to be managed in the best possible way" and to let "revenues be a positive force for the people."
He also stressed that establishing the consultative, consensus building and transparency mechanisms associated with EITI would also help reduce the risk of conflict and repeated the "unfortunate legacies of the past."
"The road ahead is challenging, but not impossible," he told the conference delegates. The Prime Minister also noted the support of the World Bank. Signing onto the EITI runs in parallel to initiatives taken to modernize the mining sector, in collaboration with the World Bank. The government is currently in talks with the Bank to provide ongoing support to update its mining law and regulatory framework to promote the development of an industry that is environmentally and socially responsible.
"The key challenge for all countries to is help turn natural resources like oil, gas and minerals, into a powerful force for inclusive and sustainable growth, " said Franz Drees-Gross, the World Bank's Country Director for the Pacific. " Greater transparency can not only help reduce the risk of conflict over resources, but also help create better deals, which are managed better for more development impact. "
Chair of the EITI, Clare Short, told the conference 39 countries will be now implementing the EITI standard, which requires full disclosure of taxes, royalties and other fees from the country's oil, gas and mining sectors.
The two day conference is expected to hear a report from the board by Alfredo Pires, Minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources, Timor-Leste, as well as a pledge from Don Pomb Poyle, Treasurer, Papua New Guinea on how the country plans to implement EITI.
What's it all about?
The EITI is made up of governments, companies and civil society groups that endorse and promote the transparent management of a country's extractive industries, such as oil, gas and mining. At the conference, a strengthened EITI standard has been adopted.
Natural resources are a large source of revenue for many countries around the world, however, without good management the local community may not feel the benefits and sustainable practices may not happen, leaving the country without a large source of income. Moreover, conflict and corruption can, and often does, arise. In the Solomon Islands, for example, resource related problems were found to be a contributor towards the country's tensions between 1998 and 2003.
The World Bank promotes the EITI as part of its response to the Extractive Industries Review as well as through broader programs aimed at improvements in natural resource management, good governance and anti-corruption.
"By signing onto EITI, countries are sending a clear message that they want to increase transparency and accountability when it comes to their natural resources," said Paulo de Sa, manager of the World Bank's Oil, Gas and Mining Unit. "This transparency is fundamental to helping ensure that the benefits of a country's natural resources can help developing nations in their quest to reduce poverty and boost shared prosperity."
The World Bank's oil, gas, and mining unit provides countries with technical assistance and grants to implement the EITI principles of revenue transparency and accountability, and to support capacity building for civil society. Funds for this purpose have been contributed to a multi-donor trust fund (MDTF) managed by the Bank and supported by 15 donor countries including Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, the European Commission, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, the UK and the US.
Just a beginning
In Papua New Guinea, mining and petroleum alone make up for one-third of its tax revenue, 80 percent of the total national export income and 24 percent of the GDP. The World Bank is supporting Papua New Guinea's moves to commit to EITI, as Jerry Bagita, Operations Manager for Transparency International (TI) PNG noted "in many respects the World Bank has been very supportive of TIPNG efforts to drive the EITI agenda on behalf of the wider society in PNG and for this we are very grateful."
A staunch supporter of the EITI standard, The World Bank continues to work alongside many other activities across the Pacific to improve compliance such as a US$230,000 grant from the EITI multi-donor trust fund to support Timor-Leste's admission to the EITI in 2010.
It may just be the beginning but these are important steps as Timor-Leste, Solomon Islands, and PNG look to ensure their oil, mining and gas industries are transparent, sustainable and beneficial for their communities.

This is an expanded version of an op-ed piece I had in the Deseret News earlier this week.
On December 14, The New Yorker posted an article by Elizabeth Kolbert titled "Our Automated Future: How Long Will It Be before You Lose Your Job to a Robot?" She begins with the perhaps apocryphal story about how IBM's Watson came to be. As the story goes, "an IBM executive named Charles Lickel was having dinner [at a restaurant] when he noticed that the tables around him had suddenly emptied out. Instead of finishing their sirloins, his fellow-diners had rushed to the bar to watch 'Jeopardy!' This was deep into Ken Jennings's seventy-four-game winning streak, and the crowd around the TV was rapt. Not long afterward, Lickel attended a brainstorming session in which participants were asked to come up with I.B.M.'s next 'grand challenge.' The firm, he suggested, should take on Jennings."
This, it turns out, was a much greater challenge than creating the computer that beat Gary Kasparov at chess. Of course Watson defeated both Jennings and his human nemesis, Brad Rutter. And the rest is history.
Except it is not. Watson was not the beginning, nor will "he" be the end of technology that can replace humans. Kolbert surveys several books that address the subtitle of her article, books such as The Industries of the Future, The Future of the Professions, Inventing the Future, and, especially, Martin Ford's Rise of the Robots: Technology and the Threat of a Jobless Future. Ford cites a 2013 Oxford University study, which concludes that nearly half of the jobs in the United States are "potentially automatable," perhaps within "a decade or two." Yes, half.
Jobs, according to some MIT researchers, can be divided according to two different sets of criteria. They are either manual or cognitive. And they are either routine or nonroutine. The highest paying jobs are coginitive-nonroutine (think hedge fund managers and lawyers). The lowest paying jobs are manual-nonroutine (think emptying bedpans and cleaning hotel rooms). The jobs in the middle are the ones that are easiest to replace with technology.
This, of course, was a major issue in the recent presidential campaign, with Donald Trump promising to bring back blue-collar jobs (mostly manual-routine). The problem is that even if he were able to bring those jobs back (which is doubtful), they would soon be replaced by technology. In fact, they are being replaced by technology in China almost as fast as they are in the U.S.
In order to understand the ramifications of this phenomenon, you must first understand something about productivity. Businesses have long viewed productivity improvement as a panacea for almost all ills. But increasing productivity, as we define it, means that a company can produce either more product with the same number of workers or the same amount of product with fewer workers. Either way, though, the gains from increased productivity do not go to the workers. They go to the stockholders and executives. Generally, increased productivity leads to workers losing their jobs. It takes moral and humane managers (like the oft-cited James Lincoln of Lincoln Electric fame) to devise programs under which increased productivity benefits the workers.
This fact about productivity represents a good part of why we are seeing so much wealth inequality in our economy. The other part is that we have dropped the top marginal tax rate from above 90 percent to below 40 percent. And Trump's economic proposals, if enacted, will drastically increase the inequality.
So, what do we do? Trump can't turn the calendar back to 1965 (which is what he is really promising). Regardless of what he does, we are heading for a future in which more and more American workers will be either be replaced by technology or stuck in low-paying superfluous service jobs while most of the wealth continues to accumulate at the top. This is not a sustainable economy.
I don't think any of us will be surprised to see truck drivers, waiters, cashiers, and even computer programmers replaced in the near future by automated "employees." What is it that drives owners and executives to supplant human employees with technology? The simple answer is the bottom line. Short-term gains for stockholders (which generally include upper management) outweigh any other considerations, such as the duty corporations owe to their human employees or concern over the long-term health of the economy. (An economy in which there is insufficient demand, because of shrinking wages in the middle and lower classes, is an economy bound for collapse.) But as long as owners and executives view employees as a resource, a commodity, or a cost to be minimized, rather than as human beings who deserve to be treated as partners, nothing will change, and our future will be compromised.
One possible solution to this dilemma is to drastically increase worker ownership. This would slow the takeover of jobs by technology, since worker-owners would be less eager to replace themselves with machines. It would also spread the wealth more evenly. Eventually, if productivity keeps increasing, an accommodation might be reached in which the workday is shortened but the workers still receive full pay.
There are other options, but none of them work in an economy structured like the one Trump and most business leaders imagine for our future. For some reason, they cannot see the writing on the wall. They imagine that if they keep replacing human employees with technology, those displaced workers will somehow find high-paying jobs so that they can afford to buy all the stuff corporations are producing.
But we have already seen three shifts in the economy to accommodate the shrinking pay of the middle and lower classes. First, women entered the workforce, giving most families two wage earners to cover expenses. Second, workers started taking on second and third jobs to pay the bills. Third, they maxed out their credit cards and took out home equity loans. This all ended with the crash in 2008. There is no other shift that can be made. Unless businesses start hiring more people in decent-paying jobs, demand won't be sufficient to keep the engine running. And tax cuts for billionaires is not the answer. Supply won't magically increase just because the wealthy get even more money. They are sitting on massive amounts of cash right now, rather than investing it in new production (new jobs), because there is insufficient demand.
Of course, this raises the question I posed long ago toward the beginning of this blog adventure, namely, is it possible for an economy with limited resources operating on a finite planet to keep growing endlessly. The answer, I submit, is no. But no politician is willing to deal with this idea. And Trump wants not only to grow the economy at an unrealistic 4 percent, but do it by destroying the planet at the same time. Now there's a recipe for long-term success.
What is obvious is that we need to start thinking outside the box, and we need to do it now. The recent presidential election was a major step in the wrong direction. But if we aren't smart enough to recognize where we are going, we will not be ready for it when we get there, and that could be disastrous.

IMPOSSIBLE Will Return To London's West End
"That's Impossible!"– A phrase often uttered by those witnessing the newest magical productions currently touring Europe following it's London premiere last year. On the heels of the it's critical acclaim and a growing marketing for magic, the show is slated to return to the place where it all began last year as it's continued success grows making just about nothing impossible to this show with that very title. Today, Luner on Theatre brings you the exciting news that IMPOSSIBLE will return to London's West End in Summer 2016!
Following it's highly-acclaimed run last season in the West End, IMPOSSIBLE will return to London this summer for a limited engagement. Set to take up residence at the Noël Coward Theatre (Pictured Right), the show will begin performances July 8th with an official opening July 13th. The show will run at the venue through August 27th only. The show features some of the world's greatest illusionists and will feature new cast members since its last production. The production, dubbed "the greatest magic show on earth", features death-defying stunts, technological trickery, grand stage illusions and close-up magic as well.
The company of IMPOSSIBLE includes Magical Bones, Chris Cox, Sabine Van Dieman, Jonathan Goodwin, Ben Hart and Josephine Lee. Each performer and illusionist has their own skill set that is high-lighted throughout the performance. Magical Bones (Pictured Left) is a South London street conjurer and break-dancing master considered the world's best hip-hop magician. Chris Cox is an award-winning mind reading specialist and able to control minds. Sabine Van Dieman is considered the Diva of Magic performing not only magic but illusions as well. Jonathan Goodwin is a daredevil and escapologist pushing the limits of his stunts to the most extreme. Ben Hart is a magician and illusionist who pushes the boundaries and limits of illusion using decapitation, vanishing and levitation to complete his tricks. Josephine Lee, considered the grand illusionist, is a world record holder for the most illusions performed in 5 minutes and one of the fastest in the business.
IMPOSSIBLE is directed by Lloyd Wood and features music by Ryan Martin. The creative team includes Andrew D. Edwards as scenic designer, Howard Harrison as lighting designer, Gareth Owens as sound designer with 59 productions providing a video design. Jamie Hendry Productions and Gavin Kalin Productions are producing the engagement.
Producer Jamie Henry spoke of his delight London would welcome back IMPOSSIBLE yet again this season following last year's critically acclaimed run saying;
"We were overwhelmed by the welcome that London audiences showed IMPOSSIBLE last year and are delighted to be returning to the Noël Coward Theatre with a bigger show than ever before. I'm proud to welcome two of the world's leading female magicians, Josephine Lee and Sabine van Diemen to the company, and am excited about seeing audiences' reactions to their stunning performances".
Luner Lowdown: I'm thrilled to see IMPOSSIBLE returning to London's West End this summer! When this new production first debuted last season, it made headlines not only for its grand illusion and magic acts but for also being something completely different. The show follows in the footsteps of The Illusionists which premiered not only on Broadway last season but returned this season as well with a record-breaking West End run at the Shaftesbury Theatre. Magic and illusion, in its highest theatrical form, is something I've loved to see more not only in the West End but on Broadway as well. It bends the theatre offerings but also brings a totally new audience into the experience of theatre as well. I look forward to hearing about IMPOSSIBLE's London return this summer! (Thanks to Helen Maybanks for the production photos used!)
Luner on Theatre will keep you updated as IMPOSSIBLE returns to London's West End once again and prepares to dazzle audiences through magic and grand illusion!

The second season of Broadchurch is almost upon us (Wednesday March 4, at 10/9c on BBC AMERICA), and without revealing too much about what happens, there will be scenes that take place inside a British court room. So it seems like decent moment to explain a few key differences between the criminal courts in the U.K. (in particular England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own idiosyncrasies) and those in the U.S.
There is no constitution
The fundamentals are broadly similar: laws are set using the common or case law system, in which past court judgments are the interpreters for what is and is not legal. However, the British legal system is not built around a constitution, it's driven by precedent and various acts of parliament, and some of these go all the way back to Magna Carta in 1215. Scottish law is slightly different, in that their laws are set both by common law and civil law (in which past precedents are abandoned in favor of fresh legislation). But in neither case is there a sole central document from which the law is derived.
Judges decide what goes to criminal court
Once someone has been arrested in the U.K., the Crown Prosecution Service (C.P.S.) takes their case before the Magistrate's Court (in which three judges decide whether there is enough evidence to pursue the case through the courts, so there's no grand jury). If there is enough evidence, a formal indictment is served, assuming the case is to be subjected to trial by jury (some minor cases remain a matter for the Magistrate's Court). Speaking of which…
Random juries
American juries are selected and agreed upon by counsellors for the defense and prosecution, and this can become a part of the drama of court (particularly in TV courtroom dramas), whereas in the English and Welsh system, the selection is random. Juries are selected from a list of eligible candidates—British residents who are aged between 18 and 70, basically—on the electoral roll. Jury duty can arrive at any time, and is expected to be honored where possible, although it can be deferred in extreme circumstances.
Solicitors and barristers
Then there's the terminology: while technically everyone in a courtroom counts as a lawyer, there are two distinct disciplines at work in the English legal system and these have their own job titles: solicitors and barristers.
Solicitors work with clients on a broad spectrum of legal matters, offering advice, and drafting legal documents. They can represent their clients in court—albeit for minor cases—but are far more likely to be doing everything that happens outside of the court proceedings, because that's their main area of responsibility. They're the equivalent of special law practitioners, real estate attorneys, health care attorneys and so on.
Barristers are the courtroom experts, the litigators. They're the people in the short wigs and robes who do the verbal fencing and cross-examinations in front of the jury. The solicitor will take their client to a barrister and ask them for courtroom representation, which allows the solicitor space to administrate the necessary documents and files needed for the trial.
The wigs
The person in the long wig and more ornate red robes is the judge, and the purpose of all of these items of costumery—which are graduated subtly to denote status—is to create a respect for the court, and for the positions each person holds within the court. While civil court cases can be heard without the finery, a bewigged judge (or a Queen's Counsel, senior barristers with shorter wigs) is not just a person making a decision, he or she is also a representative of the whole British legal system, and for criminal justice, the wigs (while clearly based on archaic modes of dress) do underline this point very well.
After that, the whole guilty as charged/not guilty thing is exactly the same, so everything else should be fairly easy to follow.

An attempt in Las Vegas to break the record for the world's biggest orgy has fallen short of its record-breaking 500+ person target. Instead, the Sin City event attracted a relatively limp crowd of just 375.
Despite organizers having changed to a larger venue to accommodate the more than 1,000 registrants, more than half of the expected number pulled out before getting to the Green Door sex club on June 2, according to Las Vegas Weekly. Participants had been hoping to beat the record of 500, set by a group in Tokyo, Japan, in 2006.
READ MORE: Sin City sex drive: Las Vegas to attempt world record orgy
"We didn't beat the world record, but we were still able to host an amazing event, considering the circumstances our team had to overcome," organizers Menage Life said in a statement, cited by the website.
Menage Life officials were not without their issues getting it up and running. After TV host Stephen Colbert poked fun at the record attempt on his late-night talk show, the Hilton group forced them to bag-up and move to the nearby Erotic Heritage Museum. Angry local officials then became involved and demanded it be moved again to the Green Door – all just hours before the bump and grind was meant to begin.
Undeterred, the lubed-up lotharios behind the project claim they will be back again next year for another attempt at breaking the record.

The first years of teaching are a whirlwind and will certainly be a challenge, however you should not do it alone. From now by means of Friday, Could 31, 2013, you possibly can be part of the Education Cubes Members Solely Website for a one-time charge of SOLELY $eight (commonly $12. While I have never been politically inclined, I'm enthusiastic about teachers, college students, and our nice system of education, and I feel it is my civic duty to use for this position in order to stop a potential de-development of some laborious work that has been occurring for a long time in our nice education system. The contributions can address the entire education continuum from faculties to increased education.
The try and impose a corporate sponsored customary assessment on pre-service lecturers is one more example of the corporatization of public education and the surveillance, silencing and calls for for obedience that accompany it. Following our report of March 24, Mike Winerip ran an article that brought the students' resistance to readers of the New York Times.
We especially support the modern financing mechanisms that make choices obtainable to all kids: education financial savings accounts (ESAs), vouchers, and tuition tax credits. Producing an assessment or analysis now consists of simply inputting information right into a software program program about educational objectives and objectives, and having the correct sort and elegance of evaluation or evaluation outputted ready for use. When one obtains an education, he/she would( I hope-perhaps I am from a special planet) want a relationship with a person of similar educational background.
OECD nations that have managed to realize high performance in science along with fairness when it comes to educational outcomes embrace Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Japan, Korea, Norway and the United Kingdom according to PISA 2015. This year's program is country-analysis-rich, with a full 3-day track on German analysis, and extended Polish, Russian, and Austro-Hungarian analysis tracks.
For example, a current examine using two national databases discovered that families who earn more cash or begin earning more cash spend extra on physical items like books and toys in addition to enrichment actions like sports and art courses 12. Extra not directly, economists and psychologists argue that an absence of assets diverts consideration away from other tasks.

The objective of the current study was to establish an efficient and reproducible in vitro plant regeneration protocol using cotyledonary explant for Citrullus lanatus cv. Round Dragon. To achieve optimal conditions for adventitious shoot induction, cotyledon explants of 5-day-old seedlings, 7-day-old seedlings and 9-day-old seedlings were tested for regeneration potential on Murashige and Skoog (MS) media supplemented with 2.3 mg L-1 BAP. Results showed that high frequency of in vitro adventitious shoot regeneration was induced from the proximal region of 5-day-old seedlings (93%) with 19.80±0.99 shoots per responding explant after 6 weeks. Adventitious shoots induced from 5-day-old seedlings after 6 weeks were transferred to MS shoot regeneration medium without plant growth regulator for shoot elongation for 4 weeks. The influence of various concentrations of IBA, IAA and NAA on root initiation was examined on half-strength and full-strength of MS rooting medium. The best response for root initiation was obtained from the microshoots grown in full-strength MS rooting medium compared to the half-strength MS rooting medium. Furthermore, IBA was more efficient in promoting root induction than IAA and NAA, resulting in a higher rate of root initiation (100%) at the concentration of 0.1 mg L-1 IBA. Therefore, elongated shoots were rooted in MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg L-1 IBA for 3 weeks. Rooted plantlets were acclimatized successfully under ex vitro conditions.

Question: Dear Luise: My daughter has moved out once again, and has told me once again that I was the worst mother on planet earth and it's my fault she turned out the way she did. She is 22, this is going to be the 5th guy she has shacked up with since she graduated high school, worst of all she has a baby girl that is 7 months old. I let her move back once again because of the baby. Next time I will have to tell her no, she can't come back. Is that harsh? My family agrees with me, she has used and abused them as well. They tell me when her life falls apart again, and it will, I should not take her in again. They feel I need to let her go so she will realize what hard is. I wasn't a perfect mom, but I was the best mom I knew how to be. She always had everything she needed and more. I think I just need confirmation from a non-related party. If you could help, I would appreciate it. K.
Answer: Dear K.: You are right on the money and I think you will need support to stick to your guns. As long as we come to the rescue of adult children who are refusing to grow up and become responsible for the consequences of their own choices and actions, we are underwriting their failure to do so. Please consider coming over to my Web-forum where you will meet and be welcomed into a community of understanding women to whom this is not new. You will need support to get back to your own life and let her get on with hers. We are at: www.WiseWomwnUnitel.com Blessings, Luise

Game of Thrones spent a good chunk of six seasons sending characters off in different directions. Now, Season 7 is bringing many of those characters to the same places in Westeros. Jon Snow met Daenerys Targaryen for the very first time in the latest episode, and it won't be the only big encounter he'll have in Season 7. A new photo from the next episode of Game of Thrones reveals that a certain somebody who Jon has not seen in many years will visit Dragonstone. Take a look!
Yes, Theon Greyjoy himself will arrive on Dragonstone in the next episode. The photo shows Theon leading a group of men onto the beach of Dragonstone. He evidently won over some of the folks who pulled him out of the sea after he abandoned Yara, as the kraken on the shield being carried by one of the men clearly shows a kraken of House Greyjoy. Theon has come to Dragonstone, where he'll almost certainly encounter Jon Snow for the first time since Season 1.
Admittedly, the photo doesn't show any of the characters who could confirm that Theon is indeed on Dragonstone, but the beach and terrain don't look like anywhere else we've seen in Season 7, and it makes sense that Theon would try to regroup with Dany after the destruction of Yara's fleet. He tends to attach himself to strong leaders, and he no longer has his sister. That said, Theon might be surprised to find that Dany isn't the only strong leader waiting at Dragonstone.
Jon Snow will probably have a few things to say to Theon. The two didn't seem especially close back when they were still living at Winterfell, and Theon has done a lot to deserve Jon's anger in the years since. If Theon hadn't betrayed Robb and sided with Balon, Rickon never would have been driven away from Winterfell to be murdered by Ramsay Bolton at the beginning of the Battle of the Bastards. Even Robb might not have been killed if Theon hadn't abandoned him. The whole North would likely be in a better state if Theon hadn't taken Winterfell.
Of course, if Sansa told Jon about how Theon helped her escape from Ramsay's clutches, Jon might be more inclined to give him a break. Additionally, if Theon is as broken when he arrives on Dragonstone as he was when he bailed on Yara, Jon might not even have it in him to hate him. That said, I'd be on board if Jon snapped at least a little bit and went for a choke on Theon. It was immensely satisfying to see him channel his inner Ned and strangle Littlefinger for a few moments, and Jon seemed to get some catharsis out of it.
All things considered, Theon can at least count himself lucky that he's meeting Jon instead of Arya. He may not be on her kill list, but I could see her making an exception in this case. If Melisandre, Thoros, and Beric Dondarrion are still on her list for the Gendry transaction back in Season 3, Theon deserves a spot as well. We'll have to wait and see.

What are the possible Birth-Defects of Symbyax?
Symbyax is a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor, and the taking of these types of drugs during pregnancy has been linked to children being born with serious and debilitating birth defects. Symbyax, like the other SSRI drugs Paxil, Zoloft, and Lexapro is known to cause birth defects. Here are some of the birth defects associated with Symbyax:
- Club Foot
- Atrial Septal Defects (ASD) (hole in the heart)
- Hypoplastic Right Heart Syndrome
- Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome
- Craniosynostosis (cranial skull defect)
- Omphalocele (abdominal wall defect)
- Gastroschisis (abdominal wall defect)
- Anal Atresia
- Spina Bifida
- Ventricular Septal Defects (VSD) (hole in the heart wall)
If you were prescribed Symbyax while pregnant, and your child was born with one of these serious birth defects, or another birth defect that may be linked to Symbyax, our Birth Defects Lawsuit Lawyers will fight on your behalf to ensure that you and your child get the medical care and restitution that you deserve.
What should I do if my child has developed Negative Side effects after I've taken Symbyax?
If your doctor prescribed Symbyax to you while you were pregnant, and didn't make you aware of the serious birth defects associated with taking Symbyax, you may be able to pursue a legal case against your doctor. The makers of Symbyax also failed to properly document the dangers associated with taking Symbyax while pregnant, and legal action against them may also be possible. Speak with our Symbyax Lawsuit Lawyers today to see how we can help you.
How can a Lawyer help my Symbyax Lawsuit Case?
Drug Companies are massive and powerful corporations that can lobby members of Congress on their behalf to get medicines like Symbyax approved by the FDA. Taking on these companies by yourself can be a daunting endeavor, but when you have a Symbyax lawsuit attorney on your team, the fight is winnable. The Laws surrounding how drugs are made, the clinical trials that must be used to prove they are effective and safe, and how the drugs are marketed can be confusing because they are often purposely made so. When pharmaceutical companies and health insurance companies write the laws that are supposed to govern drugs like Symbyax, they write the laws so that they are protected from most types of lawsuits, and so that they can reap as much profit as possible. The average St. Louis and Missouri citizens will not know these laws and won't be able to effectively use them to fight a Symbyax lawsuit case of this level. This is why hiring a lawyer with experience in trying Symbyax cases is so important.
The Symbyax Lawsuit Attorneys of Dixon Law are prepared to take on the massive drug corporations and ensure that you get the justice you deserve. Our Symbyax Lawsuit Attorneys can help you win your case because we know the St. Louis and Missouri Laws and Statutes surrounding drug use, federal approval needed for drugs, and the Tort laws regarding defective and dangerous medicine. With these weapons, we can bring the makers of Symbyax to heel and hold them responsible for the side effects and other medical issues you now suffer from after taking Symbyax.
Why should I choose the Symbyax Lawsuit Lawyers of Dixon Law to represent my Symbyax Claim?
The Symbyax Lawsuit Attorneys of Dixon Law have years of experience litigating defective drug cases, and we can use the knowledge we've built from these cases to successfully combat the major drug and pharmaceutical companies.

When school employees are permitted to use their work computers for personal purposes, they are entitled to a reasonable expectation of privacy. While the exact scope of that privacy right is not entirely clear, the adoption by schools of an acceptable use of technology policy applicable to staff members is one factor that courts will consider in determining the extent to which employees' privacy rights should be protected.
Many schools provide teachers with laptops or computers owned by the school for work-related uses, and permit them to use the laptops or computers for incidental personal uses. The legal issue that arises is whether a staff member has an expectation of privacy with respect to personal information he or she uses or accesses on the school's computer and, if so, what steps a school can take to monitor and inspect a staff member's personal use of the computer.
In the 2012 Supreme Court of Canada decision R. v. Cole1, the Supreme Court found that a high school teacher could reasonably expect a measure of privacy in his personal information stored on a work-issued laptop. The use of the laptop was governed by the school board's Policy and Procedures Manual, which allowed for incidental personal use of the school board's information technology, and provided that email correspondence was private, but did not address other types of files. Use of the laptop was also governed by the school's Acceptable Use Policy, which warned users not to expect privacy in their files. At issue was the seizure of a folder on the teacher's laptop containing nude pictures of an underage student. The Supreme Court found that even taking into account the relevant workplace policies, the employee expected a measure of privacy in his personal information on the laptop, but that it was a diminished expectation of privacy.
The Supreme Court considered the school board policy governing employee use of technology in assessing the "totality of the circumstances" to determine whether privacy is a reasonable expectation in the particular situation. Ironically, the Court found that the school's policies weighed both for and against the reasonable expectation of privacy: for, because the policy permitted use of the laptop for personal use, and against, because the policy deprived the teacher of exclusive control and access to the personal information recorded on the computer.
The findings in the case suggest that acceptable use policies may not be determinative, but they will still be important in determining the scope of the employee's privacy rights. It does not appear that the policies in question were as robust as might have been expected (not addressing the privacy of data other than email, for example). Accordingly, schools should develop comprehensive acceptable use policies that are specifically applicable to teachers and other staff members, and not just to students.
The acceptable use policy should specifically provide that staff members do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy in their use of the school's computer, and in any data or messages stored on the computer or accessed or sent by the computer. It should also provide that the school may inspect the computer at any time with or without notice to the employee, including inspecting the content of any messages sent by the staff member. It is also advisable to include a statement that staff members should use their own personal devices not connected to the school's computer systems if they wish to access data or communicate privately.
In addition to addressing the staff members' rights of privacy, an acceptable use of technology policy applicable to staff members should generally address:
- Obligations on staff members to use the technology in a lawful manner;
- Examples of conduct that violates the policy;
- Whether the staff member is permitted to install software on the school computer;
- Prohibition on copyright infringement;
- Prohibition on disclosure of passwords;
- Responsibility of staff members for content of messages sent;
- Limitations on the rights of staff members to use the computer (this may include a prohibition on using the computer for spamming or business activities unrelated to the school);
- Rights of the school to revoke the staff member's access to the school information services network;
- Consequences for violation of the policy, which should include termination of employment and notification of law enforcement officials.
Schools should also have acceptable use policies governing the use of technology by students. While there will be overlap in the content of the policies, schools should adopt two separate policies: one for students and one for staff. There are sufficient differences in the relationship between a school and its students and a school and its employees that two separate policies are advisable.

What's a Rat?
Rats are long-tailed rodents.
An adult rat can squeeze through a quarter size hole.
NORWAY Rat
The Norway rat is also known as the brown rat, gray rat, common rat, house rat, wharf rat, sewer rat, barn rat and water rat. They are not from Norway but were first identified there. They are found along building foundations, under rubbish or woodpiles, in gardens and fields.
Norway rats are often completely black. They can also be grayish-brown, but the color may vary from a pure gray to a blackish- or reddish-brown. The underside is usually gray to yellow-white. The body is heavy and thick, from 7 to 10 inches long. They weigh between 12 to 24 ounces. Their tail is shorter than the head and body usually about 6 to 8 1/2 inches long. The tail is dark on top with a lighter underside.
Norway rats are able to gnaw through wood, lead, aluminum, copper, even cinder block and uncured concrete. They burrow extensively in soil and are excellent swimmers and good climbers. They usually nest in the basements and lower portions of buildings. Norway rats are nocturnal with most of their activity and feeding takes place between a half-hour after sunset and a half-hour before sunrise. They are omnivores that eat just about anything, but they prefer meats, fish, flour, cereal grains, fruits and vegetables. They consume 3/4 to 1 ounce of food each day and require water daily to survive, from 1/2 to 1 ounce of water every day.
Life Cycle – Norway rats will become sexually mature in 3-5 months of age. The females create a nest in secluded places when inside a building, or in burrows or tunnels when outside. There can be from four to seven litters each year, with up to a dozen young in each litter, so the population can grow quite rapidly. Adults only live from 9-12 months.
Roof Rats are also known as Alexandrian rats, black rats, fruit rats and ship rats. The Roof rat is distinguished by its larger ears, pointed nose, a tail that is longer than the body, and an average body weight of 6-12 ounces. Their color varies from black to brownish-gray, with their underside being gray to white. The tail is hairless and longer than the head and body usually from 7 1/2 to 10 inches long.
Roof rats nest in trees (especially palms), ivy, and ground cover, and also in upper portions of buildings. Most of their activity is at night when they typically explore covering 100 to 300 feet. They are omnivores. Their food sources consist of snails, fruits, grains, vegetables, nuts and seeds, pet food and items from unsealed garbage containers, and just about anything left over from humans. Rats usually consume 1/2 to 1 ounce of food daily, and drink up to 1 ounce of water daily. Roof rats also have an acute sense of smell are best suited for tropical and semitropical zones.
Life Cycle – The female roof rat reaches sexual maturity at three months of age. They are in heat approximately every 4-5 days. The gestation period is 21 to 23 days, with each litter being 5-8 pups. After giving birth the female is capable of being in heat again in 24 to 48 hours, so many generations can be produced each year.
Many rodents inhabit our yards.
There are many kinds of rodents you may find on your property. Some common rodents are rats, mice, voles, gophers, squirrels and skunks. We can help you identify what has invaded your space.
Rats are much larger than the common house mouse or meadow vole. An adolescent rat can be mistaken for a mouse. In general, young rats have large heads and feet in proportion to their bodies, whereas those of adult mice are proportionately much smaller. While both rats and mice gnaw on wood, rats leave much larger tooth marks than mice do.

Sound card problem
I have a computer that I had to reinstall the operating system on because it was so full of viruses and adaware that that was my only recourse. I loaded Windows XP Professional on it but now.... the sound card won't work. It is an integrated one - not a PCI one. When I got to the Control Panel, Sounds and Devices - the Volume tab says No Audio device and everything is grayed out. Same with the Audio tab - everything is grayed out. It lists Legacy Audio Drivers for the sound but doesn't report any problems. There is a Multimedia Audio controller that has an asterisk beside it in Device Manager but how do I determine what kind it is to load the driver? When I test the sounds like Windows Asterisk - it won't let me but ... if I do something wrong and a message comes up it will beep once through the speakers. Now that everyone is as confused as I am... can someone help?
