Mad cow disease | dementia | pms

Mad cow disease | The first confirmed case of mad cow disease in the U.S. since 2006 surfaced in California's Central Valley on Tuesday, triggering concerns about food safety. The disease can be passed to humans who eat tainted meat. Cattle ranchers cited Tuesday's confirmation of mad cow disease, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), as proof that a sound screening system is in place.

Until then, rendered cows could become part of cattle feed. "If it turns out this cow is less than 14 years old, it proves my biggest concern: Cattle feed is still not protected from mad cow," he said.

You can't feed cows to cows directly. But you can feed cows to pigs and chickens and then feed them to cows."

Clifford said the cow died of an atypical strain of the disease. The diseased cow died while still on the farm. The USDA tests about 40,000 cows a year.
The first American case of mad cow disease since 2006 was found this week in a dairy cow in California, but the animal had not been slaughtered for food, government officials said.

It was also linked to about 225 cases worldwide of a fatal human brain aliment known as variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

Only three previous cases of BSE have been found in cattle in the United States, and no cases of the human version of the disease have been linked to U.S. beef.
The animal’s age is being investigated. Baker Commodities picked up the cow from the dairy after it died, said Dennis Luckey, the company’s executive vice president. The European BSE epidemic is believed to have started when cattle ate feed containing brain and nerve tissues from animals with BSE. Feed supplemented with meat and bones from specific animals is now banned.

How the California cow got the disease remains unknown. Government officials expressed confidence that contaminated food was not the source, saying the animal had atypical L-type BSE, a rare variant not generally associated with an animal consuming infected feed.

Thomas kinkade | George jung | robert zimmerman

Thomas kinkade | Kinkade was only 54.
I think that Kinkade was pretty talented at painting landscapes, but only had mediocre skills at painting figures. It’s a small clique because landscape painting is out of favor. Prole Christians like landscapes, but they also have bad tastes which Kinkade pandered to.

Thomas kinkade became the most hated artist among the elite because he became wealthy painting for that prole Christian market. Pinto said that Kinkade “died in his sleep, very happy, in the house he built, with the paintings he loved, and the woman he loved.” The man in question was Kinkade, who would die at 54 with a questionable legacy.

On one hand, Thomas kinkade is depicted as "The Painter of Light", an Evangelical Christian artist who brought joy to many Americans through his lithographic reproductions of bucolic nature scenes and quaint homes. "Art is forever," Thomas Kinkade said in a 2007 interview with "60 Minutes". At the time of his death, Thomas kinkade owed about $9 million to at least 165 creditors, Newser reports.

The United States, Britain, Japan and others have called such a launch a violation of U.N. resolutions prohibiting North Korea from nuclear and ballistic missile activity.

South Korean President Lee Myung-bak convened an emergency security meeting, and officials agreed to closely monitor North Korea's next moves, according to Lee's office.

North Korea fired a long-range rocket early Friday, South Korean and U.S. officials said, defying international warnings against moving forward with a launch widely seen as a provocation.

Among this group, Ann Romney is popular and has been the candidate's chief surrogate on how the struggling economy has affected women and families.

Rosen apologized late Thursday, after first lady Michelle Obama tweeted her own support for women and mothers.

Ann Romney fought back on Twitter and television, tweeting: "I made a choice to stay home and raise five boys.

Your job is a forever job that's going to bring forever happiness,'" Ann Romney said. "Mitt respects women that make those different choices."

A party official said the services were provided by former Obama adviser Anita Dunn, another managing director at the firm.

Compare this with the asteroid that triggered the destruction recorded in the history of dinosaur species 65 million years ago. The size is nine miles over the width of the size of the 2011 AG5.

But again this is still preliminary calculations. For NASA scientists themselves are still groping scaling properties of the asteroid AG5. So the new size estimates while. They could only watch half of it.

Exact size of the new note between 2013 and 2016 is a time when astronomers were able to monitor the 2011 AG5 of land. From preliminary calculations it is known that in the year 2023, this object would "get away from the key hole" that protects the earth, before he pierced through the soil, possibly in a very small size.

Rescue scenarios

NASA and space scientists have prepared a precaution, touched each other in order to avoid the possibility, however small the possibility.

One of the rescue scenario is to send the plane of the earth to the asteroid. The aircraft was designed to give the effect of gravity, which is capable of directing the asteroid away from earth, over millions of light years.

Another option, just like the story in the movie "Armageddon". A satellite was prepared to crash it into the asteroid.

In addition to the two ways, the use of nuclear technology has also been discussed. But, fear not resolve the nuclear issue, and helping to create hail that leads to the earth.

Open standards

When acquired by Microsoft in May, Skype itself has 650 million customers around the world. It is feared, this acquisition will make Microsoft's own video telecommunications technology that make it difficult for competitors to compete.

Cisco itself has a similar video conferencing service Skype which WebEx. And open standards for video telecommunication services enables video calls made ​​between WebEx and Skype, as well as other services such as Google Video.

"Being a Muslim in the U.S. It's Not Easy"

"Being a Muslim in the U.S. It's Not Easy" - For some people, hip-hop songs of today are more identical to the theme of love, sex, and violence. Trying to change that paradigm by Tariq Snare, hip-hop musicians from the United States.

For Snare, hiphop music does not just spoil the listener with pounding rhythms and powerful lyrical themes easily sold. Hiphop can be a means of propaganda as well as expression of the hearts of Muslims. That Snare lived with his group, Native Deen, known as the American Muslim hip-hop group.

Through a number of songs composed by them, one of them "Not Afraid To Stand Alone," Native Deen has raised the motivation of Muslims in the land of Uncle Sam. Various positive comments as they appear in the song arouse social media website, YouTube."Being a Muslim in the U.S. It's Not Easy"

For some people, hip-hop songs of today are more identical to the theme of love, sex, and violence. Trying to change that paradigm by Tariq Snare, hip-hop musicians from the United States.

"There is a write, 'I am a Muslim and before seeing this video I do not know how lucky I am for this, and now I am diligent in prayer five times a day," said Snare, who plays as a drummer in Native Deen.

This time he came alone to Indonesia, after last year fellow come together with one Grop. Snare was performed with skill performance with nine local hip-hop musicians in Jakarta on February 15, 2012.

Before the show, Snare chat with "VIVAnews" about his views on the development of hip-hop, preaching in music, and the blessings and challenges that he experienced since becoming a Muslim in America.

What made ​​you pursue the hip hop?

The music was special to me because growing up in New York while I was also a native of New York. Hiphop itself emerged in the late 70s or early 80s, when I was in junior high school.

My own high school is a school of music, the Laguardia High School of Music and Art. If you've seen the movie 'Fame', about the depiction of a learning atmosphere that's there.

In college, I was studying jazz because I love jazz music. Not only that, I also studied education and music performance in college.

Which I think is also interesting is that hiphop could provide more energy for the young. They can express what they think, what appeals to them with hip-hop, because hip-hop give them a voice.

What makes hip hop drum is different from other music?

I think, the role of drums in a genre other than hip hop is not too dominant. Hip hop lives on drums. In the era of 70s to 80s, the DJ played songs mostly have a pause in the middle.

The gap was filled with drum beats, and that's where hip hop and rap beats to accompany emerging. So, the drum is a key element in hip hop.

However, that does not mean the other music genres drum is not important. In rock n roll for example, the drum may occupy the second position of the most important elements for the life of rock n roll on the guitar.

Hip hop with rap, there is life on the drum. Elements also exist in the real drum jazz, though not an overly dominant element in jazz is more difficult to tap, and jazz are very time conscious.

What makes you unique compared to other hip hop musician?

I actually do not think, if I am a unique hip hop musicians. It is possible to distinguish me from other hip hop musicians is my background is a teacher. I formerly a teacher before deciding on a career in music. After graduating from college, I had taught English and history at a junior high school in New York.

Is there a Muslim hip hop musician in addition to you? How the U.S. public acceptance of them?

There, and they are all successful musicians and known throughout the world. Mos Def example, he is a legend of hip hop. There is also Lupe Fiasco, he's a Muslim musician his songs became a worldwide hit.

There is also a rapper who from African that also well know in worldwide, but I forgot his name. They all operate globally, and fans are not limited to Muslims only.
