Acquisition accords with BAE strategy to expand cyber, intelligence services business
BAE Systems Inc. has completed its acquisition of L-1 Identity Solutions Inc.'s Intelligence Services Group, which comprises SpecTal LLC, Advanced Concepts Inc. and McClendon LLC. The purchase price was approximately $297 million.
The completed transaction, initially announced in September 2010, will enhance BAE Systems' ability to effectively meet the growing needs of government intelligence, defense and security customers, according to a BAE announcement released Feb. 15.
The purchase of the group coincided with the acquisition of the remainder of L-1 by Safran, a Paris-based technology group whose core businesses are aerospace, defense and security.
ISG's operations and its more than 1,000 employees will now become an integral, complementary part of BAE Systems' growing Intelligence & Security sector.
The ISG acquisition is also consistent with BAE Systems' strategy for growing its services business in cyber and intelligence.
"This acquisition is all about building our capabilities to better meet the dynamic and changing security and intelligence needs of our U.S. government customers," said John Gannon, president of the BAE Systems Intelligence & Security sector, in the announcement.
"Our business focuses on four key customer missions – intelligence and counterintelligence, homeland security, law enforcement, and support to military operations," Gannon said, adding that the ISG employees "represent a tremendous asset."
BAE Systems Inc., of Rockville, Md., ranks No. 15 on Washington Technology's 2010 Top 100 list of the largest federal government contractors.

The fall scholastic sports season is well under way and in every corner of the Valley, in every sport, kids are competing for wins and championships.
But this year most of our area high school teams are learning that sports is not just about winning.
It's also about sharing, giving of yourself and appreciating what you have and what you can offer others.
That, in a nutshell, is what the Angel Warrior program is all about.

Skip to comments.'Obamacare' Boardgame: Everybody Pays, 'Nobody Ever Wins'
Posted on 09/17/2013 1:25:37 PM PDT by inpajamas
Obamacare game
(CNSNews.com) - A Kentucky entrepreneur is seeking funding to produce a new board game called Obamacare. "Everybody has to pay. Nobody ever wins," the news release promises. ("You're either broke or you're dead," the game board says.)
Game creator Jack LeFeber says regardless how you view the health care law, "You'll love the creative insanity that only a government bureaucracy can cobble together. It's fun, educational and a little scary, all at the same time."
Players can choose to be Democrats, Republicans, or members of the Tea Party, Green Party, Occupy Wall Street, or the IRS.
Each player starts out on the "Buy Insurance" square as a small business owner (except for the Occupy Wall Streeters, who begin the game unemployed). Along the way, players are taxed, troubled, hospitalized, or may even fall victim to a death panel as they make their way across the board.
LeFeber says players can enjoy the game, even if they haven't read the 10,000-page Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
"What could possibly happen when you extract $1.7 TRILLION dollars from the private sector?" LeFeber asks. "This game demonstrates in a fun, educational way how the middle class may be affected over the next few years."
In addition to a game board, dice, and player tokens, the game includes health insurance policy cards, owner-industry cards, penalty cards -- and play money called "ObamaBucks."
"We may have added some funny exaggerations in the game," LeFeber said. "But since the original bill was brought to you by the same folks who so efficiently manage the US Postal Service, Social Security Trust Fund, recent Bank Bailouts, and soon-to-be $17,000,000,000,000.00 in government debt--you know the game is rigged against us from the start."
LeFeber has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund production of the board game. He says the game will be made in Louisville, Ky., "So it will be taxed and troubled like any other small business in America."
Kickstarter is a company that gets small donors to fund creative projects via the Internet. - See more at: http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/susan-jones/obamacare-boardgame-everybody-pays-nobody-ever-wins#sthash.f9qvBGZt.dpuf
The headline says it all.
The ONLY way to win the odumbocare game is to defund it completely and then "trash can" it.
I like it. There are times when light humor really helps you get through difficulties (like four to eight years worth of hoops and hurdles). Sometimes all one can do is to laugh or to cry. If this board game catches on, becomes very popular, it's just a matter of time before somebody tries to paint a big scarlet "R" for racism, in order to put a stop to any public satire of The O. More folks are saying, "I don't care" call me what you want. I'm speaking the truth whether or not you can take it!".
"Nobody ever wins." Wrong—AARP, Federal Government, Unions, politicians all win at everybody else's expense.
I've felt from the beginning that Obamacare is a "full employment" bill for lawyers. Especially the 15k special agents hired by the IRS to administer this monstrosity.
So there are some winners.
Only the government could whip something like that up
Awesome! And so true to life (as we'll soon know it).
The first Community Chest card I drew said the following:
"Go directly to your local exchange; do not pass "Go", do not collect $2,500 in health care savings."

HSBC India country head Naina Lal Kidwai has said the Reserve Bank of India needs to desist from hiking interest rates as growth has slumped to below potential.
"I do think that we need a pause in interest rates.
"Growth (situation) is scary," Kidwai said at a CNBC TV18 awards function here last evening.
In the mid-quarter monetary policy review last month, RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan had left the key policy rate unchanged, after raising it 50 bps in two instalments since he took over on September 4, saying he was waiting for more data clarity.
"The message to the industry is quite important to make sure that we can get interest rates to at least plateau if not come down," Kidwai said.
The former president of industry body Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry said she would like to at least see the upward movement of interest rates halted and in time to actually come down.
Kidwai said although inflation has started softening, more efforts are needed to bring structural changes which could keep inflation in comfortable zone.
"I think we need to do a lot more, particularly in terms of food inflation, we need to see a lot of structural change. Some of these announcements around APMC and logistics and food are very important," she said.
Consumer price inflation eased to three-month low of 9.87 per cent in December from 11.24 per cent in November.
Kidwai expressed the hope that 2014 will be a better year. "I am certainly of this school that believes 2014 could not be worst from where we were last year."

It feels good to see it grow after all the hard work and effort you put into it —Braulio Amaya Franco
SALT LAKE CITY — Like the gardens they tend, 10 teenagers taking part in Utahns Against Hunger's inaugural Real Food Rising summer youth program are a work in progress.
They're learning what it takes to make a garden grow, but they're also acquiring important job and life skills. During field trips to community pantries and kitchens, they're being schooled about the issue of hunger. More important, they are discovering how they can make a difference.
The experience has been eye-opening, said Sara Ma, a West High student.
In two weeks' time, the students have learned to use a variety of tools and how to tend plants ranging from delicate herbs to hearty winter squash. They have also served at a food pantry and a dining hall that primarily feeds homeless people.
Ma said the group's visit to the New Roots urban farm in West Valley City was particularly eye-opening.
Refugees farm the parcel to grow food for consumption and sale, as well as to build community with participants from a wide array of ethnic communities.
"At New Roots, I couldn't fathom how many families need that food — that and a lot more," Ma said.
The experience has given Ma a new appreciation of the work required to grow organic food. "We don't respect our food. That's why we waste so much of it," she said.
Like many of the youths in the program, Ma had no experience in gardening. Real Food Rising director Mike Evans and agriculture intern Kate Rogers, an environmental science major at Westminster College, have taught the students how to use gardening tools, proper techniques for planting and weeding along with the finer points of tending plants such as pinching flowers off basil plants to stimulate the growth of the plants' leaves.
The youths also learn important life skills, such as applying and interviewing for a job. "Even the kids who don't get in the program get a job-seeking experience," Evans said.
Once hired, the teens are expected to show up on time ready to work and dressed in their Real Food Rising program T-shirts. They're likewise expected to work hard and treat co-workers and supervisors with respect. Youths who do not meet the program's standards face consequences, which can range from warnings, withholding a portion of their biweekly stipends or terminating them from the program.
However, the youths also have the opportunity to make amends. "It's holding them to tough standards but it gives them a chance to fix their mistakes," Rogers said.
The students, ages 14-17, were selected for the pilot program among applicants from Salt Lake area high schools. They work from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Together they will grow and distribute hundreds of pounds of organic produce, most of which will be given to partnering community organizations that feed people in need.
The students have planted and are tending two gardens in partnerships with Neighborhood House and Wasatch Community Gardens. They also lend a hand at other community gardens.
Another student, Braulio Amaya Franco, said he has enjoyed working outdoors. "My dad is a hard worker. He works in construction. He says if you put your heart into what you're doing, doors are always going to be open to you," he said.
Although the students are just a couple of weeks into the program, which concludes Aug. 9, Amaya said he enjoyed nurturing the tender plants from seeds and starts.
"It feels good to see it grow after all the hard work and effort you put into it," he said.
Evans coordinated The Food Project in Boston, where youths farmed 3 acres in the city and 30 acres in the suburbs growing food for needy people. He also led a youth development farming program in Austin. Evans, who has also worked as a teacher, relocated to Utah when his wife was hired to teach at Westminster College.
Rogers said Evans brings a wealth of experience to the effort both in terms of gardening techniques and helping youth develop their potential. "It's an awesome program. Mike has a lot of experience doing it."
Over the past two weeks, Rogers has watched as the students come together as a team. "It's been interesting to watch this very diverse group of human beings grow together, find common interests and exchange ideas. We're breaking down a lot of boundaries here," she said.
Rogers, who also helps manage Westminster College's organic garden, said she looks forward to the students harvesting the fruits — and vegetables — of their labors.
"The youth have planted these seeds. Ideally, they'll see it all the way through."

Last season, the CCRI baseball team advanced all the way to the NJCAA Division II World Series in Enid, Oklahoma, but a couple of injuries to its pitching staff sent the team packing after just two games.
With a host of talented returners this year, Knights' head coach Ken Hopkins set out in recruiting to make sure that if his team reached the World Series, it would be better prepared on the mound.
He wanted his pitching staff to be deeper. It's obviously still early in the year, but so far it looks like he accomplished the goal.
"If you look at our pitching staff, that's really our focus," Hopkins said. "When we went out to Oklahoma last year, we came up with two arm injuries which depleted our pitching staff. We felt that in order to compete at that level – we were pretty even with our defense, with our offense – but they seemed to have deeper pitching staffs. So we went out purposely and recruited extra pitchers so that if somebody doesn't have it, we're ready to go, or if someone gets hurt we can throw someone else out there."
Loaded with that strong pitching and a dynamic, 20-person freshman class, the Knights are setting their goals high. Last year was their first trip to the World Series since 1996, but they're hoping to make a habit out of it.
They've got the horses to do it.
"It's always our goal over here, to try to get to the World Series," Hopkins said. "We want to be a national program."
CCRI opened the season with a No. 7 national ranking, and has already played nine games. Though it is just 4-5 in those games, they've all been on the road and they've been against upper-echelon competition.
They've already played three games against Mercyhurst North East – the team CCRI beat for the Eastern Championship last year – and went 1-2 in those games. But the Knights lost two one-run games. They've also already played in Erie, Penn. and in Florida, two long trips for a team to open the season.
Hopkins likes what he sees.
"You can already see it coming together the last five games," he said. "We tested them, too. We went up to Erie, Penn. last week. It was a 12-hour bus ride. We're up to play for a 9 o'clock game. It was a little cold. They've been tested. And that's a good sign."
It starts with the pitching. The team's ace is sophomore Conor Gleason, who returns after wining 10 games a year ago. He's already pitched twice and been strong in both outings.
Gleason will pitch next year at Franklin Pierce University, but for now he's CCRI's No. 1 option.
"He's our leader on the mound," Hopkins said. "He's a veteran. He's going to come close to probably setting the school record for wins by the time he's done."
Rounding out the rotation will likely be four freshmen, who are part of what Hopkins thinks is one of the best recruiting classes in the program's history.
Keegan Dellacona, from Hyannis, Mass., is the team's top recruit. Standing at 6-foot-5, he's a presence on the mound.
Then there is Dan Depippo, from Scituate, Mass. and he stands 6-foot-3. Former Warwick Vets standout Shane Johnson is also a big piece, and he threw five shutout innings in a game already this year.
The fourth freshman is Coventry's Matt Laferierre, who stood out during the team's trip to Florida.
"We've got four freshman that we think are as good as we've ever had," Hopkins said. "You take those four guys and throw them with Gleason, we've got a five man rotation that's as good as anybody around."
Other starters are sophomores Max Perry, Rob West and Dylan Pingatore, who are providing a veteran presence for new crop of freshmen.
In the bullpen, Hopkins has turned to North Kingstown's Jason Ferri, who pitched at URI last year but has since transferred in to play with the Knights. He's the team's closer, and has converted his opportunities up to this point.
And while the pitching is undoubtedly the team's biggest asset, there is plenty to be excited about defensively, offensively and on the bases as well.
Sophomore right fielder Mike Sherburne, from North Kingstown, returns as one of the top players in New England. He's already signed a letter of intent to play at URI next season and he'll hit fifth in the lineup.
Next to him is sophomore Dylan Gracia, from Middletown, who will serve as the team's leadoff hitter.
In left field is talented freshman Joe Yankee, a standout at Lincoln in high school. He'll hit third for the Knights.
"Our outfield speed is as good as there is," Hopkins said. "We've got four or five outfielders that are all small, they're athletic, and they're all running 6.5, 6.6 in the 60."
Another important piece for the Knights is shortstop Ryan O'Dell, a URI transfer who will likely hit fourth for the team.
Joining him on the infield are sophomore second baseman Nick Coro, a Central Connecticut commit, freshman first baseman Jonathon Vasquez, who hails from Bridgeport, Conn. and stands 6-foot-5, and a combination of sophomores Andrew Crowley and Tyler Santaniello at third base. Crawley or Santaniello usually serve as the DH as well.
Behind the plate is the duo of Pat O'Keefe, a freshman from East Greenwich, and Ryan Wordell, a freshman from Little Compton.
Also on the roster are freshmen C.J. Angelo, Rob DaCosta, Marc Boutliere, Jake Tillman, Jacob Saley, Gian Abbruzzese, Chris Pistacchio, Pat O'Keefe, Kory Lawrence and Zack Wood, as well as sophomores Chris Girard, Sam Morgan and Kevin Dale.
"I think we're still a work in progress," Hopkins said. "There is some definite talent. There's some ability. It's probably one of the hardest working teams I've ever had, both on and off the field. They've done a great job in the classroom, they've done a great job in the weight room."
CCRI has a big weekend coming up, as it will host Monroe College for a doubleheader on Friday, beginning at 12 p.m., and then play Monroe again on Saturday. On Sunday, the Knights will host Northern Essex for a doubleheader starting at 12 p.m.
"I'm trying to get them ready, trying to get them focused and do things the way we do them over here," Hopkins said. "I think by the time we get towards the end I think we'll be a tough team to beat."
And their goal is to be playing in Oklahoma when it's all said and done.
"I think we've got enough to talent to get back," Hopkins said. "We'll see how it goes."

Empress Chung - new Korean animation
I've heard about this Korean anime film that will be playing at the Annecy animation festival in June. It looks like its done the rounds at other animation festivals, but will premiere in general in December. The official movie website is even in English! I know Wonderful Days got a lot of hype, so just wondering if anyone has heard of/seen Empress Chung.
From the website, it looks like a beautiful fairy tale, reminiscent of the really early Disney films yet with a look of its own. For once, a Korean film that does not resemble Japanese anime.
Also, this film is apparently a North and South Korean co-production. I wonder how much the North Koreans actually did, considering the lack of creative freedom and extreme isolation and poverty...

Yeah I wonder what's up with those animal characters too. Comic releif cutesy mascot attempts? I like the character design for the King of the Underwater World. (Er, but his kingdom doesn't sound all that cool...)
I'm hoping for a DVD release with subtitles, like Wonderful Days and Oseam had. Or who knows, if it turns out to actually be good maybe someone will license it R1.

Hmm, I'd be interested in seeing this. Do you think anyone will fansub it?
In general it seems like Korean animation and comics are largely ignored by the anime community. Everyone assumes that because it's Korean it's inferior. I had to force my friend to watch "Wonderful Days," but afterwards he loved it. I think many of the Korean comics are better than Japanese ones also, but they are also ignored. I've only found one scanlations group that does Korean comics, and their work is somewhat... erm... poor quality =P . I won't mention any names though because I'm grateful to them for doing Korean comics at all.
Well, how do you all feel about this? Do you think it's true that many anime fans are ignoring Korean animation simply because it's not Japanese? There is definitely a tendency towards Japanese elitism amongst anime fans.

Korean animation, from what I've seen so far, does partly deserve its "copycat" status however. The first titles available in English were Armageddon and Red Hawk, and they are absolutely horrible. Even in Korea, animation is not really seen as an "adult" medium right now and the only stuff you will find are kiddy shows or independent arthouse animation shorts. There are very few examples of mature Korean animation for an older audience. Blue Seagull was the first "mature" Korean animation feature (and it looks like City Hunter!). Genres that are established in Japanese animation, like shoujo, are all but non-existent in Korea. Even hentai is not that big, though there are a few Korean titles. However, Japanese anime is doing well in Korea, so its only a matter of time till Koreans start making more good stuff.
When My Beautiful Girl Mari is released, the view of Korean animation as lacking storytelling power and maturity should change. Companies like ADV have already recognized Korean animation's up and coming status, and almost all the major manga companies release manwha now. (I also suspect that Korean titles are a lot cheaper than Japanese ones, and that's one of the real reasons its "up and coming".) Add Doggy Poo to the list of Korean animation available in English. Doggy Poo is a claymation feature. Its an incredibly cute story based on a Korean children's book. I recommend it!
Anyway, I don't think its just that fans deride Korean animation. Many just don't know about it. I don't know many manwha titles, but its not that I avoid them I just never hear about them. I bet there are great titles from studios elsewhere in Asia, Latin America, and Africa, but I NEVER hear about them.
I've heard the Koreans do not like their animation to be called anime, but prefer "Korean animation". What's the Korean word for animation?
EDIT- I really doubt anyone will fansub Empress Chung. Anyway, I'd rather buy a Region 3 DVD with subtitles, if it gets good reveiws. Korean DVDs are dirt cheap. Annecy is next week. I hope someone posts reviews!

So Annecy 2004 has come and gone, and Oseam has won Le Cristal for best feature! So glad I bought this Limited Edition. I think the film has its flaws, but was very moving. Another prize for Korean animation.
Last year's winner of Le Cristal was My Life as McDull, an animation from Hong Kong which I've also wanted to see. (My Beautiful Girl Mari won the Grand Prix at Annecy in 2002.)
Hmm, can't find any Empress Chung reviews yet! The suspense is killing me. Do the critics say yay or nay?

Anyway, as a Korean myself, I think that Korean comics/animation are often misunderstood. Most are endorsed in Korean pop culture, folkery, or just stereotypes in Korean society today. For instance, a spoiled rotten young Korean boy who'd rather eat Spam than kimchi is a huge laughing matter in Korea - In America, we'd just say "Huh?"
As for Empress Chung reviews; I've failed to find one myself.

I wonder how many that posted here are Korean...
Can someone tell me how the term "manhwa" got coined? I don't think it's right, but it'll have to do.
My mom calls all my anime "manhwa." I believe it is used like the word "anime" in Japanese - as a term used to describe any time of animation.

Empress Chung
Hi there,
Every year, I organize a small asian movies festival. And this year, I'm interested in screening a north-south korea movie this year.
I've been curious about an animated movie since a few months but information about it are scarce. It is Empress Chung, a korean animation movie by Nelson Shin. I'm not here to debate if it is "anime" or not, but to see if this movie found it's way among the fansubber community. When you try to find it, even a raw version, it's almost impossible. In an other hand, this movie surely found it's way in a translated version in western countries since it was screen in a few more or less obscure festivals in 2008.
If anybody has any infos, places where to get it, whatever you know!

Friday, April 05, 2013 - Wank Party 2013 #02, Part 2 - WANK PARTY
Wank Party 2013 #2 continues with our five handsome hunks, Viktor Baco, Roman Koroza, Adam Rupert, Ivo Kerk and Vasek Konik. As we join them again we see that Adam, who is rimming Ivo has Roman's hot tongue on his hole. When those holes are nice and wet Viktor moves round and slips his throbbing cock into Ivo's ass. Roman gets up and does the same to Adam's hole as Vasek stands over them wanking his big cock. Vasek needs to fuck some ass too and takes over from Roman, his big cock really stretching Adam's tight hole. The guys then move, with Ivo on the training bench and Vasek fucking his ass. Adam is on the floor with his cock being ridden by Roman. He slides up and down on that big dick. Ivo needs to use some ass too and they all move again. This time Roman is on his back with Ivo pounding his ass. Vasek fucks Adam who wanks his cock hard and fast as his all takes that dick. His cock is throbbing and he soon blows a huge load all over himself. Roman is wanking too and dumps his cum as well. That sets Vasek off and he stands over Adam and shoot his load over his cock and balls. Ivo is next to shoot, pulling out of Roman's ass and shooting his load. Then Viktor let's go of his cum as well, all over Adam's face.
... more about Wank Party 2013 #02, Part 2 further in this newsletter
Our Coming Soon Set Preview
We brought Ivo Kerk and Adam in for a wrestling match. Adam was the viktor in that and as we join them again Ivo, recognizing his defeat, drops to his knees and starts to suck on Adam's dick. Their sweaty, oiled bodies glisten as Ivo works Adam's cock until it is rock hard. He is also wanking himself and his own dick is throbbing too. With both those cocks rock hard Ivo stands and places Adam's on top on his. Adam takes hold of both and wanks on them. They kiss each other and drop to the mats, with Adam on his back and Ivo straddling him. Adam continues to wank both cocks together before Ivo moves up and slides his dick into that hot mouth. With their bodies covered in oil they really look great. Ivo turns around and moves into a 69, so both are sucking nice and hard. Ivo then takes more oil and squirts it onto Adam's ass. He then starts to finger his tight hole. With his finger deep in that hole Ivo sucks on Adam's big hard cock some more then moves him into doggy position and shoves his dick deep into that eager hole. He pounds away at that ass, as hard as he can, going balls deep. Then Ivo pulls out and lays on the mats, with Adam sitting his ass right down on that throbbing cock. He rides that cock, sliding up and down on the thick shaft, as his own hard cock flap back and forth. Then they move again, so Ivo can fuck Adam missionary style. As his ass is pounded Adam wanks himself hard and fast and soon blows a massive load of creamy cum. Ivo is ready too and pulls out and dumps his cum all over Adam as well. Then he leans down to kiss his wrestling buddy, ending a fabulous scene.

Bontrager's Flat Pack is one stop shopping for flat tire repair. You get a Bontrager Air Support mini pump, two exceptional Bontrager tire levers, a patch kit and Bontrager's PRO 75 seat pack to store all your gear. There's even a free tube coupon so you can get the right size for your bike.

Best Uses
Ignore the negative reviews about this kit. To switch the adapter, you must remove the cap on the head of the pump, pull out the rubber seal, let the plastic "pusher" to fall out, reverse the plastic piece and reinstall, then replace the rubber seal in the reverse orientation, finishing by replacing the cap to hold the assembly in place. I had to look at it carefully to figure it out, but it's pretty simple once you figure it out.
Best Uses
Easy to switch from Schrader to Presta. You can't go wrong with the Flat Pack.
Good combination with tools, pump, and patches. This kit works with both schrader and presto valves. You have to pull out the valve and reverse it for it to work on presto valves. Had to figure it out on my own but it does work as designed.
Best Uses
You'd think Bontrager would have made a pump that has Presta in mind, being what's newer and on most bikes... it's not the case. I'd get the Flat Pack with compressed air cans. This seems to be the newer Bontrager Flat Pack.
Best Uses
I bought this pack because I wanted to have a convenient set of tire-repair tools on my bicycle. The pump and tire levers are lightweight and appear to be of decent quality. However, the promised coupon for a spare tube was nowhere to be found in the package. When I contacted Bontrager's customer service department, they refused to accept responsibility for this, and actually had the audacity to blame the shop that sold me the product. This would be a four-star product, but two stars have been deducted for Bontrager's false advertising and/or poor customer service.

2012 was a record year for U.S. heat. The world will likely face severe food shortages this year.
As debates about gun control continue to rage in response to the recent tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary, a new United Nations report warns that 2013 could be a year of worldwide food shortages as a result of widespread droughts.
Southern Michigan was no exception to the rule.
Heat waves and lack of precipitation caused a 40 to 60 percent crop yield drop in Lenawee county last summer—just two hours from Sturgis—according to a Daily Telegram report in the Sturgis Journal.
That's a trend that may continue due to rising temperatures worldwide.
The Guardian reports: "Failing harvests in the US, Ukraine and other countries this year have eroded reserves to their lowest level since 1974.
"The US, which has experienced record heatwaves and droughts in 2012, now holds in reserve a historically low 6.5% of the maize that it expects to consume in the next year, says the UN."
2012 was the hottest year ever recorded; at least in the U.S.
And as the mercury inside of our thermostats climbed, our soil dried and cracked.
The New York Times reported on Tuesday that natural changes in weather patterns could have played a role, but the sweltering heat wave would not have been possible if not for human influenced climate change.

BOULDER -- Boulder County's moratorium on processing new applications for oil and gas drilling in unincorporated areas will end, as scheduled, on June 10, county commissioners decided Tuesday.
The Board of County Commissioners also decided, however, to try to limit the numbers and locations of new well sites that will be allowed under the county's land-use regulations over the next year or two -- and to inspect and monitor those wells closely to ensure they're complying with Boulder County's new Land Use Code regulations governing such oil and gas development.
The idea, said Commissioner Deb Gardner, is that once the county has its own inspectors and technical experts doing that oversight, if any of initial wells are found to not be meeting the county's regulatory standards, "we shut them down."
Commissioner Elise Jones at one point said she'd support extending the moratorium for another two years, in order to collect more data from studies about the public health impacts of hydraulic fracturing when it's combined with horizontal well drilling.
But Gardner and Commissioner Cindy Domenico didn't support such a long-term extension. Jones advised the more than 50 people attending the meeting that even if many of those there would like to see the commissioners impose an indefinite-length moratorium, "that's not an option."
The commissioners' eventual decision not to extend Boulder County's current temporary moratorium for another year or two openly angered many of the anti-hydraulic fracking activists who crowded into the commissioners' hearing room.
But Domenico said that the controversy over the public health and environmental impacts of "fracking" is one thing, "our ability to regulate it is another thing."
Domenico noted that state laws and court rulings have given the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission the predominant authority to regulate oil and gas development and have limited local governments' ability to adopt rules stricter than the state's regulations.
Several people in the audience interrupted Domenico, in particular, several times when she was detailing her reasons for endorsing Gardner's intensive-oversight approach rather than extending the moratorium beyond June 10.
"It's our lives!" one man shouted. Said another: "You don't know what you're doing!" Demanded a third: "Extend it!"
Boulder County's current moratorium on accepting and processing new oil and gas drilling applications initially took effect in February 2012. Commissioners have twice lengthened it since then, most recently this past January, when they extended it to June 10.
The "go-it-slow" process the commissioners endorsed on Tuesday is to be translated by the county staff into further Land Use Code provisions that the commissioners are tentatively scheduled to consider June 5.
Immediately after Tuesday's meeting, a coalition of anti-fracking organizations that had argued for extending the moratorium issued a written statement -- already prepared before the start of the meeting -- saying that "we ... condemn the actions of Boulder County Commissioners Cindy Domenico, Deb Gardner and Elise Jones and call for a new movement to now be born to defend our health, the overall well being of our community, and our right to local self determination."
The statement said the commissioners have "failed in their duty to protect public health, our way of life, Boulder County open spaces, farms, residences and the natural environment."
Contacts listed on that prepared statement included representatives of such groups as East Boulder County United, Fractivist, The Mother's Project, and Erie Rising.
The commissioners' staff said Boulder County got about 500 emails and more than 100 telephone calls on Monday and Tuesday urging that the county board extend the moratorium.
On Tuesday afternoon, Courtney Loper, the Mountain States field director for Energy in Depth, an organization launched by the Independent Petroleum Association of America, said in a statement that the anti-fracking activists' objections to the commissioners' decision amounted to "over-the-top rhetoric ... and a refusal to accept the fact that scientists, engineers, state regulators and senior officials in the Obama administration have repeatedly stated hydraulic fracturing is fundamentally safe.
"The debate in Boulder County should focus on the facts, and the robust and responsible regulations that are already enforced by the state of Colorado, not reckless claims by ideologically motivated activist groups," Loper said.

"A person's religious freedom doesn't end when he opens the door to his business," states Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life. "Michigan's representatives have taken an important step toward guaranteeing freedom of conscience for those providing health insurance in that state."
Fr. Pavone's statement follows the passage by the Michigan House of Representatives of measures that would allow a health maintenance organization or health insurer to refuse to cover abortion or other procedures.
"It is ironic that for some supporters of abortion, there are certain arenas where 'freedom of choice' definitely does not belong," notes Fr. Pavone. "I'm glad that Michigan legislators are wiser."
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

Secrets of Fast Detection and Recovery from Database Corruptions - Paul Randal (Microsoft)
Grant Paisley
Date Posted:
How can you tell whether your data is corrupt?
If you have corruption, how do you work out what's wrong with the database?
How do you ensure you have a valid backup?
If you don't have a valid backup, how and what do you repair?
If you do have a backup, how do you work out whether you should restore or repair? And at what granularity?
How do you go about determining what went wrong in the first place?
It's all about limiting downtime and data-loss when a corruption occurs - from knowing the tools to understanding the choices to planning a successful strategy. Some of the features discussed: torn-page detection and page checksums, IO read-retry, backup checksums, consistency checks (DBCC CHECKDB and related commands), and database repairs. Facing database corruption is almost inevitable in every DBAs career - make sure you're prepared when it happens to you.
Meet the Presenter
Paul started in the industry in 1994 working for DEC on the VMS file system and check/repair tools. In 1999 he moved to Microsoft to work on SQL Server, specifically on DBCC. For SQL Server 2000, he concentrated on index fragmentation (writing DBCC INDEXDEFRAG, DBCC SHOWCONTIG) and various algorithms in DBCC CHECKDB. During SQL Server 2005 development was the lead developer/manager of one the core dev teams in the Storage Engine, responsible for data access and storage (DBCC, allocation, indexes & heaps, pages/records, text/LOB storage, snapshot isolation, etc). He also spent several years rewriting DBCC CHECKDB/repair. Since SQL Server 2005 shipped, Paul has managed the Program Management team for the core Storage Engine to become more focused on customer/partner engagement and feature set definition. Paul regularly presents at conferences around the world on high-availability, disaster recovery and Storage Engine internals. His popular blog is at http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlserverstorageengine

Pixar Animation Studios has laid off an undisclosed number of people at its Emeryville, Calif., headquarters due to the delay of its forthcoming film "The Good Dinosaur."
The layoffs affect less than 5% of the company's 1,200-person workforce, according to a source close to the studio.
In September, "The Good Dinosaur" was pushed back from its original release date of May 30, 2014, to Nov. 25, 2015.
About a month before the project was delayed, the studio, a unit of Walt Disney Studios, removed director Bob Peterson from the...

How to create a terrorist?
Get a normal human being, make him live in a Baathi controlled government, raise him on violence and murder, do not let him learn or study, starve him, bombard him with jets, kill his children in front of his eyes, push him out of his land to Europe, Canada or the US.
And finally when he commit a massacre or a crime, accuse the Saudis and the wahabees...
Very simple...bravo Kanaan...and by the way according to you Kanaan the Kataeb, Ahrar, and the Lebanese Forces are also terrorists because they defended themselves against a terrorist barbaric regime.

Schistosomiasis is infection with a type of Schistosoma parasite.
Alternative Names
Bilharzia; Katayama fever; Swimmers itch; Blood fluke
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
You get a schistosoma infection through contact with contaminated water. The parasite in its infective stages is called a cercaria. It swims freely in open bodies of water.
On contact with humans, the parasite burrows into the skin, matures into another stage (schistosomula), then migrates to the lungs and liver, where it matures into the adult form.
The adult worm then migrates to its preferred body part, depending on its species. These areas include the bladder, rectum, intestines, liver, portal venous system (the veins that carry blood from the intestines to liver), spleen, and lungs.
Schistosomiasis is not usually seen in the United States. It is common in many tropical and subtropical areas worldwide.
Symptoms vary with the species of worm and the phase of infection.
- Heavy infestation (many parasites) may cause fever, chills, lymph node enlargement, and liver and spleen enlargement.
- Initial invasion of the skin may cause itching and a rash (swimmers itch). In this condition, the schistosome is destroyed within the skin.
- Intestinal symptoms include abdominal pain and diarrhea (which may be bloody).
- Urinary symptoms may include frequent urination, painful urination (dysuria), and blood in the urine (hematuria).
Signs and testsThe doctor or nurse will examine you. Tests that may be done include:
- Antibody test to check for signs of infection
- Biopsy of tissue
- Complete blood count (CBC) to check for signs of anemia
- Eosinophil count to measure the number of certain white blood cells
- Kidney function tests
- Liver function tests
- Stool examination to look for parasite eggs
Urinalysisto look for parasite eggs
This infection is usually treated with the drug praziquantel. If the infection is severe or involves the brain, corticosteroids may be given.
Expectations (prognosis)
Treatment before significant damage or severe complications occur usually produces good results.
- Bladder cancer
Chronic kidney failure
- Chronic liver damage and an enlarged spleen
- Colon (large intestine) inflammation with bloody diarrhea
- Kidney and bladder obstruction
Pulmonary hypertension
- Repeated blood infections can occur, because bacteria can enter the bloodstream through an irritated colon
- Right-sided heart failure
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of schistosomiasis, especially if you have traveled to a tropical or sub-tropical area where the disease is known to exist or if you have been exposed to contaminated or suspect bodies of water.
- Avoid swimming or bathing in contaminated or potentially contaminated water
- Avoid bodies of water of unknown safety
Snails are an intermediate host for the parasite. Getting rid of snails in bodies of water used by humans would help prevent infection.

oh ok. stupid breeder. at least you saved him..
puppies need to go out every 15-20minutes.. i would also put the crate in your bedroom on your side of the bed, this way the puppy will sleep better at night,andyou can hear him wimpering if he has to go.
regular water should be available at all times.. you can also leave a rabbit water bottle in the crate if you want while you are gone duringthe day too,this way he can get some water, but not too much .
a 4 month old pup can only hold its potty for maybe 3-4 hours max.. depending on the dog..
feed the little guy 4 times a day.. he needs that to grow good and strong. give him a cup of food each time, and you can soak it like you are doing, and add some canned in too if you want...
once the pup is around 3 months old, it will get easier.
