Jimmy Barnes opens up about the night he almost ended it all: 'It's not that easy to die, apparently'
The legendary rocker details his struggles with alcoholism and drug-abuse
Jimmy Barnes' new book has seen him make a shock confession about one of the darkest periods of his life.
In the prologue of his memoir, Working Class Man, the 52-year-old admits to attempting suicide in his hotel room in Auckland in 2012.
The legendary rocker detailed the time he woke up in his large hotel suite, which he was sharing with his wife Jane, with no recollection that he attempted to take his own life.
The Cold Chisel star admitted he drank the entire minibar on the night of his New Zealand performance, and then attempted suicide.
"Tied around the clothes rail is the dressing gown cord, just where I must have left it," Jimmy wrote.
"The rail, the cord and me with the cord around my neck waiting to die. But I didn't. It's not that easy to die, apparently," he recounted.
In a new interview with the Daily Telegraph, he also admitted to telling his wife about the incident, which was the catalyst that made him seek help, and turn his life around for good.
On the night of his attempted suicide, Jimmy reportedly hadn't slept for eight days, and had ingested a cocktail of different substances, including cocaine, ecstasy, ketamine, sleeping pills, alcohol, as well as "uppers and downers."
"I didn't think I thought 'I'm gonna go kill myself,'" he said.
"It was more a curiosity of how the hell do people do that, it can't be that easy"
Jimmy has long been open about his years of battling addiction, alcoholism and the struggles from his childhood.
Immediately following the incident, he found a therapist to help him work through his issues.

"I let go of everything and thought I can either fight like this, and twist and turn trying to hold onto all this stuff in my head, or I can get myself together and have a look at it all," he concluded in the interview.
"If I can pick myself up and I can look at myself in the mirror and I felt I was doing OK, everything else would fall into place."

Is this a contest podium or some far eastern village shame ritual?
Dash Kamp, that name can't be real. Why would you use an alias when you enter a snowboard contest? Then again the event is in Canada. Maybe he is a Vietnam era war draft dodger. He might be good at jibbing the 10-stair, but had he gone to Nam he would have the 1,000 yard stair dialed.
Whistler, B.C. Canada, June 26th, 2010 – The Billabong Ante Up competition, the first 5Star event of the 2010/11 Swatch TTR World Tour season, went off today with an excellent showing from a diverse field of riders. The summertime event was held in the Camp of Champions park on the Blackcomb glacier and featured a massive 75-foot gap jump. The Ante Up hosted 40 riders in a big air format who were all going for a piece of the $50,000 prize purse and 850 TTR ranking points. It ended up as an all-Canadian podium and Sebastien Toutant (CAN) took the top spot making him $20,000 richer. Toutant also secured the World No. 3 spot in the TTR World Rankings and received an automatic invite to the 6Star Billabong Air & Style Innsbruck later in the season.
All the riders were pulling off some impressive tricks all day and it came down to a double cork 1260 podium with the top three riders doing different variations of the trick. Toutant won the first place podium spot with a flawless Cab 1260 double cork and had this to say about his win, "Winning the first 5Star TTR big air contest was just amazing, it was an epic final and it's sick because I'll be in the top of the TTR rankings going down to New Zealand in August."
Coming in second place behind Toutant and winning $15,000 was Matts Kulisek (CAN) who landed a backside 1260 double cork and Mark McMorris (CAN) took third place earning $10,000 for his frontside 1260 double cork. Other notable mentions include Gjermund Braaten (NOR) who also stomped a backside 1260 double cork to take fourth place which, when combined with his 2009/10 season-end bonus points, bumped him up into TTR World No. 1.
With the first 5Star event of the 2010/11 season in the bag, the tour will move down to the Southern Hemisphere in August for the 5Star Burton New Zealand Open which is the next major event on the calendar.

The Appliance Doctor was among more than 350 buildings professionals (vendors) displaying their goods at the BuildingsNY, the leading tradeshow for building owners and managers that took place on April 24-25, 2013.
In all, the 2013 BuildingNY show saw a ten percent increase in attendance, with many owners and resident managers stopping by to check out the benefits of entering into agreements with the Appliance Doctor for building-wide appliance maintenance and service.
Appliance Doctor owner Anthony Attanasio and several of his top technicians were on hand to meet and greet attendees, fielding questions about service contracts, upcoming changes in high-end appliances, and how properly caring for and maintaining an appliance extends its usability over the long haul. They also described in detail the myriad ways in which the Appliance Doctor is providing ready solutions for their residents' appliance repair nyc needs.
Besides describing how the Appliance Doctor is a leader in overall response time, Attanasio explained how recent upgrades in technology have provided his field service technicians with new laptop computers that enable real-time diagnostic testing, sometimes directly interfacing with top manufactures, such as Miele, Bosch, Whirpool, and others.
Within minutes of leaving the customer's home on a service call, all of the information about that call is immediately available. Should a customer call for information, the office staff knows exactly what went wrong with his or her appliance, if a part is in stock, if it has been ordered, when it will arrive, and when it can be installed. It's just one more way the Appliance Doctor is a leader in the field of service providers.
If you were among those who joined us this year, thanks for stopping by to say 'Hello'. If not, we hope to see you at BuildingsNY 2014!

PREVIEW / Laser League (PC)
This past week, I got a spend an hour playing Laser League in an early access event with some of the developers. The game is published by 505 games and developed by Roll7, makers of pixel based side scrollers OlliOlli and NOT A HERO. Their latest game ditches the pixels and plays from a top-down perspective where you can see the whole arena at all times. Laser League is a competitive futuristic "sport" game where two teams must eliminate each other by lighting up laser nodes to their color and avoiding colors of the enemy team. If a player makes contact with an opposing color, they go down until either the round ends or a teammate revives them. When all players on a team go down, the winning team, as you would expect, scores a point. In the online matches we played, three points wins a team a round, and two round victories win the game.
The gameplay of Laser League is a lot of fun. The longer the round that you are in goes on, the faster and more unpredictable the lasers begin to move. While at first things start out slow and boring, they can quickly get out of hand if you find yourself on the team with fewer lasers. Probably the thing I liked most about the game is that it forces you to think fast, or you are screwed. I had plenty times in my hour of play that I knew right after going down what I should have done differently. You have to be fast-reacting which makes for exhilarating play and crazy moments.
This was an early version of the game that I played, but I will note that there were times I thought the hit boxes between the characters and the lasers were a little off. I would see replays where people went down when they were successfully out running a laser or moved to the side in time. I am sure this is an issue that will be taken care of before the game officially releases, but I noticed it on quite a few different occasions.
The environment of the game is simple. You can tell that they are going for that Tron aesthetic, and they nail it pretty well. If given the money and time, I am sure Roll7 could easily make a fun light cycle mode, but I digress. Like any sport, Laser League takes place in arenas around the world. When talking with the developers, I was told there are multiple arenas, each with multiple laser set ups, but in the hour that I played I only got one arena and two set ups so seeing more of a variety would have been nice.
As the match goes on random power-ups will appear on the floor and these can be complete game changers. There is a power-up that will reverse the way all lasers are moving, swap colors on all lasers, one that will erase all nodes, and quite more. I was told that there are a total of 16 different power-ups. Just grabbing them without thinking is not a smart practice however. There can be instances where you have the upper hand and grabbing a power-up could completely shift things in the other teams favor.
As I mentioned earlier, downed players can be revived by teammates. When a player goes down they leave a marker on the field. When a teammate runs over that marker the player will be revived with probably about a half second or so of invincibility. As an opponent, guarding the revive spots on the field can cause a lot of headaches for the other team and was one thing I had quite a bit of fun with doing when just running for lasers in that area of the map.
One of the best decisions the developers made with the game is that at the end of each round, the loser of the round gets choose a new class. This will allow teams to strategize and make fixes to picks that are not working. One of the more interesting choices of the game is that there are a number of classes you can choose from that are much different than the rest. Blade, Thief, Ghost, Smash, Snipe, and Shock are the available classes to choose from, each having two different modifiers to them.
Blade is the first type I played as. He has a short, quick slash attack that will down enemies he comes into contact with. I never actually got to take anyone down with him, one, because I had not figured out the controls yet, and two, it's not as easy as it would seem to dash through an enemy and avoid lasers on the other side. Overall, he was a simple character and I feel many newcomers will play as him.
Thief was the one I played as the most and the one I had the most fun with. He gives the player the ability to steal enemy lasers and turn them into his own teams. When you press the ability button a ring surrounds him for maybe a second and a half. Any activated nodes of the opposing color that enter that ring will change to yours. This ability got me out of some tricky situations and made for some quick turnarounds on enemies who thought they had me on the ropes. He is a great one for strategizers to use.
This is the only class I believe that I never saw in a game. As you would guess by his name, Ghost turns invisible for a short period of time where he cannot be hit by anything. He is free to walk through lasers and enemies for a brief period of time. A great pick for getting out of sticky situations of reviving teammates.
As you can tell by his name, Smash is the bruiser of the lot. He has a longer dash than Blade that will send enemies flying backwards quite a ways. This can be used for knocking enemies out of position or just knocking them into your own lasers. Just avoid what I did a couple times where I accidentally knocked the enemy into safety.
Snipe is an interesting class that got me killed a few times during my play time. Snipe can drop down a marker and as he walks from it a line will be connected between him and the marker. When he presses the ability button he will warp back to the marker, taking down any enemies in the path. Between dodging lasers and trying to decide where to make my next move I had a very hard time not just avoiding, but looking for Snipe's lines.
Personally, Shock was by far the most irritating class to play against. When the ability button is pressed, an electric shield will surround Shock. Any enemies that make contact with this shield will be stunned for a couple precious seconds. During this time they are sitting ducks for any other enemy attacks or moving lasers.
Probably the thing I heard the developers bragging about the game the most was the customization of the classes. They really wanted me to understand that each hero has their own leveling system and as you level each one you unlock more customization items. Personally, I didn't really care about this detail, but for those who like unique-looking characters, there are supposed to be over 250 customization items in the game.
Overall, I had a blast playing Laser League. This is a highly intense game that had me yelling with excitement by the end of my playtime. I truly believe this little developer has a great game on their hands and I hope to see it do well. Personally, seeing what the finished product will play like excites me, as long as they can get the hit box issue taken care of and add some more variety to the laser patterns. If the game works when it comes out, and it is handled correctly, it could be another Rocket League-like success story.
I asked the developers if there was any plan to bring the game to consoles and they said that it was being talked about and work on the console versions would be beginning once the game hits early access on Steam. Laser League is expected to go into early access sometime this year with no release date announced yet. The open beta starts Friday January 26 at 9:00 AM PST and goes until Sunday, January 28 at 10:00 PM PST. If you have a PC, give this game a try this weekend.
This preview is based on an early access demo provided by the developer.

Leafs being asked about potentially trading UFAs Muzzin, Barrie, Ceci
January 22, 2020, 1:00 PM | Ryan Fancey
God, this season seems weird, doesn't it? Looking at the Leafs sitting outside of a playoff spot going into the all-star break when it feels like they were reeling off win after win just a couple weeks ago really makes it difficult to get a handle on what this team is doing, or more importantly, should do for the next three months.
I made an argument that Toronto was one of the most boring teams going into the trade deadline from a rumours perspective, and I still believe that. But with the way things have been good to bad to worse to good again and finally mediocre, it's understandable that teams are starting to circle and see who might shake loose in the next month.
According to Elliotte Friedman from 31 Thoughts, there have been calls about the Leafs' much-talked-about defence corps specifically.
I also think the Maple Leafs have been asked about their UFA-to-be defenders — Tyson Barrie, Cody Ceci, and Jake Muzzin. I don't see Toronto falling out of the race, so the only way anything happens here is if they are convinced one of the younger defencemen needs a permanent big-minutes spot. (The three all play 20 minutes per night.) No confirmation from either side, but it sounds like there is engagement in contract conversations with Muzzin. There's no debate about his value and unique skillset on this roster. Term is as big as the salary, as Muzzin will be 31 next month.
I'm on board with Friedman's prediction here that the Leafs won't fall off hard enough to become classic "sellers", and further to that I can't see Dubas feeling that way even if things continue to be somewhat up-and-down. Things are tight in the east, and that's just the way it's going to be.
But the second point makes a bit sense as well. We've been all over the Sandin (and to a lesser extent Liljegren) story since the beginning of the season, and if the Leafs feel like he needs room to make a bigger jump, they could unload one of those three named above and roll the dice a little, either moving one of Sandin or Dermott to the right side and/or promoting Liljegren up the lineup. Chances are slim it would be Muzzin moved out given the contract talks at least exist right now, and Barrie's actually been a solid performer recently by the numbers despite the fan outrage over some of his blunders. But Ceci would make a lot of sense to move on from if there really is a suitor out there and Dubas feels that money could be used on another deadline move, whether that's at forward or in goal. I'm not even down on Ceci like most are, but that would still be a tidy piece of business.
Either way, while it's unlikely Dubas makes a substantial move to ship out any of these players, it's nice to see some speculation, if not just to break up the boredom of this part of the schedule. And given where Toronto sits in the standings, it's hard to fully discount anything right now.

Antoine Fuqua's upcoming biopic on Tupac Shakur has now evidently turned to an online opening casting call to help discover an unknown talent to portray the iconic rapper.
"We're looking for someone with the right mix of raw charm and charisma for the role," says producer David Robinson. "At this point, we're more concerned about finding someone with the ability to give their entire heart into the performance more than just looks and personality." Interestingly, it doesn't look like musical abilities are being emphasized with only one minute of the video required for displaying applicant's musical and/or rapping abilities.
While Fuqua has expressed a desire to cast an unknown since early the project's conception, the move is no less intriguing considering the high-profile role could have been a major platform for a number of actors. Many, such as "The Hurt Locker" star Anthony Mackie who has already portrayed the rapper in George Tillman Jr.'s "Notorious," are struggling to score starring vehicles themselves and live up the last generation of Smiths, Foxxs and Washingtons — all of which is seemingly personified, as Samuel L. Jackson points out, by the number of black male presenters at this year's Oscars; the answer is none.

Two-time Grammy-nominated R&B musician, Luke James, has a creative spirit as dynamic as his voice. When he sings, one unknowingly enters into a trance-like state; only to snap wide awake when his performance manifests into a sharp turn with his endless vocal range. Like a magician pulling scarves out of their mouth one after another, Luke can reach into the innermost depths of his soul and pull out genuine emotions with power-packed performances seemingly out of nowhere at a moment's notice- making him a musical magician in his own right. Luke took some time out of his schedule to speak with us about the sound of R&B, how music naturally comes to him, and gives his insight on the evolution of music.
James wears a leather moto jacket, Balenciaga, black pants, Gucci, shirt, Venia.
In the midst of a crazy world, I found great solace in the cool, calm, and collected demeanor of the dynamic, soulful, and sultry Luke James. Donning underwear as his quarantine outfit of choice while jamming Miles Davis throughout his home sets the mood for what I envisioned was the vibe on the other side of the phone line during our pandemic style interview. For nearly an hour I was able to pick his Gemini brain about a number of topics from the state of the world, new music, points of inspiration, and, of course, love. Not many artists remain as open and humble, but Luke is definitely one to express what it is he is feeling no holds barred.
Many people were first introduced to the soulful sound of Luke James during a time when he was one-half of the duo "Luke and Q". Luke and Quinton remain friends to this day, giving us a glimpse of the loyalty the star maintains on his journey to success in the cutthroat music business. "We're family. That's my brother. We went to high school and all that, we're family. The business shit is just the business shit, and that's that. At the core, we are family."
Since his days in Luke and Q, Luke has encountered some awesome success from topping the charts to opening up for Beyoncé! It's safe to say the "I Want You" singer is making the dreams of his childhood a reality. It seems that he is finally manifesting his visions back in New Orleans as a child growing up. Black Boy Joy at it's finest! Such success makes him a part of the R&B landscape at some of the highest levels, which comes with a certain expectation. R&B has a sound that has been typically uniformed for the past few decades, but the sound of the genre today seems to integrate many elements of Hip Hop.

Le Reichstag  (de l'allemand    « Diète d'Empire ») était l'assemblée parlementaire représentant le peuple allemand dans son ensemble pendant la république de Weimar et le Troisième Reich.

Établie en 1919 par la constitution de Weimar et constituée en , cette assemblée siégeait au palais du Reichstag, à Berlin.

Histoire

Ses compétences incluaient le pouvoir législatif, l'adoption du budget, la déclaration de la guerre et la ratification des traités. Le régime étant parlementaire, le Gouvernement du Reich était responsable devant lui, ce qui lui donnait un rôle nettement plus important que le Reichstag de l'Empire allemand. Sa position était équilibrée par les pouvoirs étendus accordés au président du Reich, qui pouvait le dissoudre ou renvoyer le Gouvernement, et par des procédures de démocratie directe.

Ses membres étaient élus pour quatre ans au scrutin proportionnel plurinominal et au suffrage universel, secret, égal et direct, le corps électoral comprenant tous les hommes et femmes majeures de plus de vingt ans.

À partir de 1933, le Reichstag, sans être formellement aboli, fut rapidement privé de tout pouvoir par l'établissement de la domination nazie, en particulier en application de la loi du  qui attribua le pouvoir législatif au Gouvernement.

Le Reichstag, dont le siège avait été incendié fin février, ne fonctionna plus que comme un corps d'acclamation périodique pour les actions d'Adolf Hitler ; sa dernière séance eut lieu le  à partir de . Après l'incendie, les parlementaires siègent à l'opéra Kroll, situé à proximité du bâtiment endommagé : à cette occasion, Hitler, chancelier du Reich, prononce un discours dans lequel, il fixe un cadre historique au conflit, la lutte pour la suprématie mondiale, désigne de nouveau son principal adversaire : le Juif, lié à l'alliance qui menace l'Allemagne dans ses fondements, selon Hitler. À l'issue de cette réunion de la chambre, un texte proposant l'extension des compétences judiciaires du chancelier et président du Reich, est adopté à l'unanimité.

En 1949, la Loi fondamentale de la République fédérale d'Allemagne institua le « Bundestag » comme successeur du Reichstag.

Féminisation du Reichstag

Les Allemandes obtiennent le droit de vote après la Première Guerre mondiale. Lors de l'Assemblée nationale de Weimar, on compte entre 8 et 9 % de députées mais lors des autres législatures, leur nombre tourne autour de 6 %. Après la prise de pouvoir du NSDAP, leur nombre chute à 4 % avant de disparaître sous les quatre législatures du Troisième Reich.

Marie Juchacz est la première femme à prendre la parole devant l'hémicycle le , et la première de toute l'histoire parlementaire allemande. Elle est également la seule femme à être membre du Conseil consultatif de l'Assemblée, chargé d'élaborer une Constitution pour le Reich allemand (Ausschuß zur Vorberatung des Entwurfs einer Verfassung des Deutschen Reichs ; l'Allemagne était encore officiellement le Reich, même après l'abdication de l'empereur  et l'instauration de la république).

Prise du Reichstag

Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la prise du Reichstag constitue un des évènements symboliques de la bataille de Berlin et de la défaite du Troisième Reich. À l'extérieur du palais du Reichstag se trouvaient également 4 canons de 88 et deux chars Tigre II. La défense du bâtiment était assurée par un groupe d'hommes sous les ordres du SS-Brigadeführer Wilhelm Mohnke.

L'assaut des Soviétiques sur l'édifice débute le , au soir. Pendant les combats à l'extérieur et à l'intérieur du palais, les Soviétiques hissent le drapeau de l'URSS sur le toit du Reichstag. C'est le soldat kazakh  qui sera le premier à placer le drapeau rouge, drapeau qui est cependant abattu peu de temps après par des snipers allemands. C'est au matin du  mai que le drapeau est définitivement hissé pour de bon, alors que les Soviétiques prennent totalement contrôle du Reichstag. Staline avait demandé au photographe ukrainien Yevgeny Khaldei d'immortaliser cet événement mais il n'était pas présent le jour même. La propagande soviétique recrée la scène le . Le soldat d'origine géorgienne Meliton Kantaria hisse le drapeau à la manière des soldats américains à Iwo Jima le . Aucun des soldats ayant participé à la première mise en place du drapeau rouge ne participeront à la mise en scène. La célèbre photographie fut retouchée pour effacer une des deux montres, celle au poignet droit de l'officier soutenant le soldat portant le drapeau, montre surnuméraire laissant apparaître qu'elle avait été volée, acte pourtant courant au sein des armées d'invasion.

Après la mort d'Adolf Hitler, les avis au sein des derniers hauts dignitaires nazis divergent concernant la demande de négociations pour un armistice ; les jusqu'au-boutistes comme Joseph Goebbels s'y opposent formellement.

Peu de temps avant que Hitler ne se suicide et que le palais du Reichstag ne soit pris, la radio berlinoise réussit à diffuser, pour la dernière fois, une œuvre de Richard Wagner : La Marche funèbre de Siegfried, afin de donner du courage aux troupes. Celle-ci annonçait la fin du Troisième Reich.

Following intense criticism of Justice Committee testimony in the House of Commons that was widely seen as unduly partisan for Canada's top government administrator, Michael Wernick is likely to depart his position as Clerk of the Privy Council in the next several days, sources close to Cabinet tell The Chronicle.
Wernick admitted during hearings on Thursday to pressuring — and to conspiring with others in the Trudeau government to pressure — former Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould to offer a 'Deferred Prosecution Agreement' to one of the Liberal Party's largest contributors. Despite demands from opposition party members, Wernick did not offer his testimony under oath.
The Ottawa-based political operative inside the Trudeau government tells The Chronicle that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has reached out to Wernick to schedule questioning in the SNC-Lavalin matter. The agency is actively investigating the matter and the PMO is 'profoundly' worried that former Treasury Board President Scott Brison may be questioned by the RCMP next week.
An open investigation has been ongoing since SNC-Lavalin's indictment by Swiss prosecutors in 2012. In recent days those investigators have been increasingly willing to assert the agency's 'independent and proper' role, though the federal police do report to the PMO.
Jody Wilson-Raybould is the heir apparent Leader of the Liberal Party in the increasingly likely event that Justin Trudeau will be forced to resign or face charges of public corruption in his dealings with SNC Lavalin.
Despite the Justice Ministry's conclusion that SNC Lavalin did not qualify for a 'Deferred Prosecution Agreement' in early September, Wernick played a key role in coordinating 'vigorous' months-long lobbying of the Attorney General. His objective was clear and readily admitted under oath: he wanted Wilson-Raybould to ignore the requirements of that law, and to direct career prosecutors to halt the criminal trial of a firm with a long history of public corruption and bribery.
Wernick also admitted under oath that his motives, and the motives of his co-conspirators, were economic and political in nature. The deferred prosecution law specifically rejects economic and political reasoning from being considered in determining eligibility.
Wernick reports directly to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and conspired to exert pressure on Wilson-Raybould with Trudeau's top political operatives — including former Principle Secretary Gerald Butts, Chief of Staff Katie Telford, and Finance Minister Bill Morneau.
But repeated meetings and phone calls were only part of the pressure campaign.
Last December Wernick is said to have 'threatened' Wilson-Raybould's senior staffer, Jessica Prince, with ominous warnings regarding the Cabinet's displeasure with the Attorney General's decision, less than a month before she was removed as Justice Minister.
The position of Clerk of the Privy Council is a historic one in the evolution of the British constitutional process, its origins dating back to the Magna Carta. The position requires a non-partisan occupant who is expected to avoid politics and the appearance of bias in political matters.
Wernick's emotive and, at times, accusatorial testimony seemed to violate every norm and sensibility surrounding his position and its place in the Parliamentary system. Trudeau's public references to the testimony only compounded concerns of partisanship.
In recent days, Wernick has been described as deeply regretful for the testimony, looking 'visibly defeated' and worried. Wernick holds a bachelors degree in economics from the University of Toronto.

The author of article should check the facts before putting them to print. Wernick was not sworn in , was not under oath , the Conservatives requested he be sworn in but the Liberal majority turned down the motion , the Liberal chairman stated they have never done in past and they won't do it now.

Very accurate, non-partisan and neutrally written article.


The recent Pepsi ad where Kendall Jenner wins over police officers at a Black Lives Matter-type protest with a can of Pepsi was widely lambasted for being completely tone-deaf (Stephen Colbert called it "Attractive Lives Matter"). Still, surely we can all agree with its intended message of fostering peace and harmony, even if Pepsi's approach so wildly missed the mark. A new ad from Heineken called "Worlds Apart" takes another stab at it, and very simply and succinctly accomplishes what Jenner and all those hundreds of Pepsi street-activist extras could not.
The ad presents three pairs of people (not actors) offering opposing views―a misogynist and a feminist; a climate-change denier and an environmentalist; someone who's for transgender rights and someone who's not―and puts them in a real, not staged social experiment, where neither person knows anything about the other. The pairs are tasked with building some barstools, then a bar. They're then asked to reveal some traits about themselves, as well as some things they think they have in common. When everyone's original opinions are revealed, the results are extraordinary.
As HuffPost notes, "The ad's message of finding common ground through conversation is more than just a nice idea―it's backed up by a well-researched concept called contact theory, which posits that contact with groups from different backgrounds can increase tolerance." The world is fairly divided right now, and this quietly effective ad argues that, instead of fighting those whose opinions differ from our own, a better solution would be to sit down with them and engage—preferably over a Heineken.


CompuCom, a Dallas, TX-based prominent technology infrastructure services provider, has named Don Doctor, currently executive chairman of its board of directors, to replace Jim Dixon, who's retiring as the company's chief executive.
Dixon will resume his prior role as board chairman while the solutions provider will look to Doctor to provide global leadership and operational expertise to deliver on its mission and strategy. Doctor's background includes stints as chief executive and executive chairman at Systems Maintenance Services (SMS), chairman and chief executive at Encoda Systems and co-founder of Premier Systems Integrators.
CompuCom also named Dan Stone, a former Lenovo chief strategy officer (CSO) and Lenovo Latin America president and general manager, to head its End-User Enablement business unit, and tapped Pam Baxter as its new chief information officer (CIO).
Stone is tasked with growing CompuCom's End-User Enablement (EUE), which the company identifies as one of its core strengths. The EUE unit aims to help IT executives manage the convergence of social interaction, mobility, analytics/Big Data and cloud.
At Lenovo, Stone's Latin America unit generated some $3 billion in sales and included 7,000 employees in 15 countries, while operating six manufacturing sites. In his prior role as Lenovo's CSO, Stone helped craft the vendor's global corporate strategy partnerships/alliances, and merger management activities.
In her new CIO role, Baxter, a 20-year IT industry veteran who joined CompCom in 2009 as Information Technology vice president, is responsible for the strategy and operations of all services built and supported by CompuCom's Information Technology team.
In November, word surfaced that Microsoft (MSFT) was considering delisting CompuCom, formerly its state and local government channel partner of the year, from its Licensing Solutions Partners ranks. And, in mid-January, more chatter emerged that the solution provider had been dropped from the coveted Microsoft LSP program.
No doubt it's an issue Doctor will have to deal with as Dixon's replacement.

Sochi Winter Olympics TV schedule: What to watch Thursday
The high-flying men's ski slopestyle, ice hockey, figure skating, and luge are events you don't want to miss today.

Nicholas Goepper of the United States makes a jump during a run in the men's ski slopestyle final at the 2014 Winter Olympics.
By Chelsea Sheasley Staff writer
@csheasley
Kick back your heels and tune in to watch the world's top athletes sprint, flip, and slide today in pursuit of victory at the Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.
Highlights of the day include freestyle ski slopestyle, speed skating, cross-country skiing, luge, ice hockey, and figure skating.
NBC will air a tape-delayed afternoon broadcast from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. EST and a prime-time broadcast at 8 p.m. EST. Its affiliate networks, including NBC Sports, MSNBC, and CNBC, will broadcast events throughout the day, and all events can be live-streamed by cable subscribers at nbcolympics.com.
You don't want to miss:
Men's ski slopestyle
The men's freestyle ski slopestyle competition was "thrilling," writes the Monitor's correspondent in Sochi. "To put it plainly: that was wicked fun. Can I tell you to watch NBC tonight? Is that journalistically ethical? Who cares. Miss it at your peril," he writes. (Find results here.)
The event is new to Sochi, and features skiers flipping and twisting on the same slopestyle course that snowboarders competed on earlier this week.
The event streamed live at 4:30 a.m. EST and will be replayed on NBC prime time.
About video ads
The women speed skaters take to the ice in the 1,000-meter race a day after American Shani Davis came up short in his bid to win three gold medals in the event in three consecutive Winter Games. Korean skater Lee Sang-hwa, the winner of the 500-meter race earlier this week, and her teammate Seung Ju Park are major contenders for gold. Heather Richardson, Kelly Gunther, Sugar Todd, and Brittany Bowe will compete for the US.
The event will stream live at 9 a.m. and will be replayed on NBC prime time.
The final luge competition of the Sochi Games takes place today, with the first-ever team relay. Teams from 12 nations will compete in an event that combines a woman's single luge, a man's single luge, and two men from the doubles luge. The times are combined and the lowest score wins.
Erin Hamlin, who won the first American medal in an individual luge event on Tuesday (a bronze), will be on the US team, as will Chris Mazdzer, Christian Niccum, and Jayson Terdiman. German lugers have swept the gold medals in all the luge events so far and are the favorites to take home the gold tonight.
Luge is described by Sochi organizers as "one of the most dangerous Olympic winter sports. It involves sliding at high speeds on single or two-person sleds on a special track of artificially frozen ice. The athlete or athletes starts in a seating position and after pushing off lie down on their back on the sled with their feet stretched out in front of them. The rider steers the sled by moving his or her center of gravity. The winner of the competition is the rider with the fastest time. During a run, the sled can reach speeds of over 140 km/h."
The event will stream live at 11:15 a.m. EST and replay on the NBC afternoon broadcast.
Men's ice hockey
Men's hockey takes to the ice for the first time in Sochi today. The Russian team is under enormous pressure to bring home the gold in the first Winter Olympics held on Russian soil. Preliminary group play kicks off today with Russia vs. Slovenia, USA vs. Slovakia, and Canada vs. Norway.
The Russia and US games will stream at 7:30 a.m. EST, and Canada at 12 p.m. EST. NBC Sports Network will replay the US vs. Slovakia at 5 p.m. EST and Canada vs. Norway at 3 p.m. EST.
Men's figure skating
The individual men's figure skating event gets started today with the short program. Evgeni Plushenko of Russia will look to wow the home crowd again after a rousing performance in the team competition. Three-time world champion Patrick Chan of Canada looks to break the so-called "Canadian curse": No Canadian male world champion has ever won figure-skating gold at the Olympics.
Jeremy Abbott and Jason Brown, whose performance at the national championships in Boston went viral last month, will compete for the US.
The even will stream live at 10 a.m. EST and replay on NBC prime time.
What else is on:
NBC 3 p.m. – 5 p.m. EST: Biathlon (men's 20km individual), luge (team relay)
NBC 8 p.m. EST: Freestyle skiing (men's slopestyle), speed skating (women's 1,000m), figure skating (men's short program), skeleton (women's)
NBC 12:30 a.m. EST: Short track (women's 500m, men's relay), cross country (women's 10km classic)

Student Spotlight: Droid Names, Faraway Galaxies or Automation?
/Student Spotlight: Droid Names, Faraway Galaxies or Automation Components?
VFDs, RS485, PLCs — these terms may seem like names of droids or faraway galaxies and planets in a "Star Wars" movie. However, they really refer to earthly based components that Vermont Technical College engineering student Dan Rapoza learned about when he set out to help a dairy farmer save time and money by automating a routine process critical to milking cows.
Rapoza's main project challenge was to figure out how to automate the opening and closing of four heavy vinyl curtains. These curtains serve as a barrier to keep heat in a farm's milking parlor during the winter and also to keep bacteria out, therefore ensuring compliance with the milk inspector. Before automation, the curtains were being operated manually 30 – 40 times a day, 365 days of the year, to let 80 cows enter and exit a milking parlor six at a time. In addition, Rapoza wanted to address how the curtains were suspended to reduce maintenance needs and increase energy efficiency.
Dan Rapoza and the AutomationDirect parts used in his project!
From his research, Rapoza opted to use an AC motor and VFD to push and pull a timing belt for the linear motion needed to open and close the curtains. To create the curtain sliding system, he built a new header to move the curtain suspension cable away from the wall, installed a new cable to suspend the curtains, and designed custom pulleys to minimize friction. For the control system, he used a CLICK PLC equipped with Ethernet, RS-485, and RS-232 communication ports. The RS-485 was used to communicate to the VFDs and SOLO temperature controllers. Finally, he used diffuse photoelectric sensors with limit switches to sense the position of the curtains, polarized photoelectric sensors to detect the location of the cows, and inductive proximity gate sensors which ultimately determine when the curtains should open or close.
See above for Dan's finished project.
Rapoza's education about strange-sounding components and how they can work together, paid off. He recently graduated from college and now works for Freeport McMoRan Copper and Gold in the Process Control and Automation group. In the future, he looks forward to continuing to automate processes in the field of agriculture.


RMIT University will be collaborating with Sleeptite to deliver new Australian-made products for the aged care and assisted living sectors.
According to the report released by RMIT University, Assistant Minister for Science, Jobs and Innovation Senator Zed Seselja announced the A$ 1.7 million Cooperative Research Centre Projects (CRC-P) grant to be awarded to Sleeptite, at the Micro Nano Research Facility of RMIT..
Sleeptite is a Melbourne-based research and advanced manufacturing company leading the development of non-invasive health care monitoring program.
RMIT researchers led by Associate Professor Madhu Bhaskaran will work to integrate their flexible, unbreakable electronics into bedding products to enable the real-time monitoring of health and sleep.
The collaboration with Sleeptite will bring together a multi-disciplinary team in sensing, micro-technology, health data analytics and bedding manufacturing.
Prof Bhaskaran said that while some technologies existed to improve monitoring, they were either too expensive for wide implementation or unreliable.
She explained that their team is developing a cost-effective way to improve the supervision and monitoring of people living in aged care and assisted living facilities, especially at night.
The new technology is designed to give nurses, carers and aged care facility managers greater insight into the health and wellbeing of patients within their care.
The technology aims to minimise night time disruption and deliver better quality of life for residents by alerting health care workers to movements or potential areas for concern.
Prof Bhaskaran is an Australian Research Council DECRA Fellow and co-leader of the Functional Materials and Microsystems Research Group at RMIT. She was thrilled that an Australian company was leading the drive to take her team's work from the lab out into the real world.
She said that it was very special to have an Australian partner that truly understands research and is passionate about getting their home-grown technology out to the public, where it can benefit society.
The RMIT researchers will work closely with other project partners such as Hexoskin, for biometric data analytics, and Sleepeeze, for advanced manufacturing, with the aim of delivering a product that is approved for medical use within three years.
Sleeptite CEO Cameron van den Dungen said the aged care industry was entering a new era, with greater than ever demand for excellence in functionality, design and care.
He explained that Australia has the chance to become a world leader when it comes to increasing the quality of health care provided to its elderly through technology.
Technology not only supports the valuable care workers but enables them to provide greater care than they believe is possible, and at a cost that is more affordable than the assistance currently on offer, this is why Sleeptite exists.
RMIT Acting Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research and Innovation Professor Denise Cuthbert said that the funding announcement was a testament to the strong collaborative relationships between RMIT researchers and industry.
She added that at RMIT, they are strongly focused on working with industry partners to ensure that their research continues to shape the world for the better.
She considers this collaboration an exciting opportunity for their leading research in sensor technology to make a real and positive difference to the communities.

Memorial Day – Remembering Harvey Milk
Posted on May 22, 2014 by Sheila Morris
Today, May 22nd., would have been Harvey Milk's 84th. birthday. Instead, his life was tragically shortened by five bullets to his head in his office at San Francisco's City Hall in 1978. Harvey was one of the first openly gay elected LGBT officials in the entire USA when, on his third try, he was elected to the Board of Supervisors of San Francisco in 1977. Eleven months later he was murdered by a former board colleague who believed the growing gay movement threatened traditional values.
His life and death have served as an ongoing inspiration to the LGBTQ community in America and around the world.
Harvey Milk Postage Stamp Issue
You've got to give them hope. If a bullet should enter my brain,
let that bullet destroy every closet door.
On this day in 2014 Harvey Milk was honored by his country with the issuance of a forever postage stamp with his image and the colors that symbolize the movement. Thirty-six years after his death the bullets to his brain destroyed many closet doors.
When I bought 100 stamps this afternoon at the Post Office, the young woman said to me, You are the first person to buy these Harvey Milk stamps. And I said, You don't know how thrilled I am to have them.
How appropriate on this coming Memorial Day to remember an American hero who died for his hopes for equality and justice.
Closet doors have opened at warp speed since Harvey's time. He would be amazed, as I am continually, that nineteen states and Washington, D.C. have legalized same-sex marriage. The number of LGBTQ elected officials has grown exponentially at local, state and federal levels with the support of many organizations including The Victory Fund which has as its mission the appointment and election of members of our own community in order to take a seat at the tables of political power.
Harvey Milk and others like him made possible an event that kicked closet doors open for hundreds of thousands of LGBTQ persons and underscored the perseverance of a community determined to make its mark on the country. We would not go away.
Flag for March on Washington

(Memorabilia courtesy of Dick Hubbard and the late Freddie Mullis)
On April 25, 1993 the largest march in the movement's history was held in Washington, D.C., and the gays and lesbians came running out of their closets to participate. You just had to be there to take it all in. Wow. We were inspired and empowered. For many of us the closet doors would never be shut again – except from the outside.
If you are a regular with me, you know my heroes have always been cowboys like Roy Rogers, the Lone Ranger, the Cisco Kid, Wyatt Earp. These were my guys in white hats and they always righted some wrong or rescued a damsel in distress. I have a long list of heroes I will remember this Memorial Day weekend, but today I salute Harvey Milk – an ordinary man who committed outrageous acts of courage in his everyday rebellions.
I owe you.

Anne Boring says:
Well said, Sheila. Did I ever tell you I am very proud of you and what you have accomplished in your life?
Good morning, Anne.
C.H. told me how proud he was of me from the time I won my first spelling bee in Grimes County in 1956 until the last email I received from him not too long before he died. I saved his letters to that little girl in Richards as I have saved his emails.
So by virtue of your marriage to him, you've told me countless times, and not one time went unappreciated.
This morning you have made my day by reminding me of the steadfast love and support that my mother's first cousin and his wife have always given me.
Have I told you how proud I am of who you are and of your sweet spirit of love and acceptance?
I appreciate you, Anne.
Hope you and your family have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend – my heroes I'll remember include Daddy, Charlie, C.H., and Gene's daddy Ray.
Wayside Artist says:
On that day in 1978 I was not quite 17 years old and not at all in possession of a developed sense of self or an awareness of a larger life outside my little world in suburban PA. But I was shocked by the news because my older siblings had gay friends. To view them as instruments in destroying traditional values never crossed my mind, and it certainly wasn't something my parents preached. As I look back, I realize more and more how well the four of us were raised.
But back to Harvey Milk and others who lived out loud a life that could bring threats, physical harm, job loss, loss of security… countless losses really, but who continued bravely living out loud. Your tribute to Milk is written from an understanding of just what all those risks were. He was an American hero, but so are you. Beautifully said, Sheila!
Frodo: I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.
Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Q: Compiler time versus programmer time I want to briefly discuss managed or interpreted languages. It's said that they're worth developing in, because the CPU time is worth less than the programmer time required to develop in a faster language. I'm curious if the same thing could be said for the compiler. If I had some mythical compiler that took four times as long to compile as, say, C#, but took half the time to program with, would that be an advantage or a disadvantage? Is programmer time worth more than compiler time?

A: First off, compile time IS developer time--developers building and testing a system have o wait for the  code to compile between each change in the code and their ability to unit test it.
That said, if the language makes it so that the developers can code things correctly with a time savings that offsets the time they sit waiting for it to compile, they probably won't mind all that much.
Also, the Moore's Law factor will decrease compile times over the long run, anyway.

A:
I want to briefly discuss managed or interpreted languages.

You realize (I hope) that "managed" and "interpreted" are orthogonal concepts.

*

*A managed language is one where the runtime system takes care of dynamic space management.

*An interpreted language is one where the program is executed by an interpreter rather than by compiling to native code.
Also, interpreted versus non-interpreted is generally a language implementation issue.

Is programmer time worth more than compiler time?

In fact, compiler time IS programmer time.  It is time that the programmer has to wait between making a change and testing the change.  Indeed, this is one of the advantages of interpreted languages - the change / test cycle time is reduced compared with compiled languages.
The real trade-off is between programmer time and speed of the end product; e.g. the time that the end-user has to wait while the program executes.  And that depends on both the chosen language (or more accurately, language implementation) AND on the application.

A:
I'm a Java developer. The Eclipse IDE continuously compiles my code as I write it, so compiling does not take any noticeable time at all while I'm developing it.

A: I spend virtually zero time compiling compared to thinking or programming.
I use mainly Clojure, so when I am developing I usually have a running REPL that compiles individual expressions as I type them. Compile time is effectively instantaneous (at least, I've never noticed it.... you get the response pretty much instantaneously after you press enter)
So four times as much compile time in exchange for doubled development productivity would clearly be a win in my case. However, I'm not convinced such a programming language proposition exists. So it's a somewhat hypothetical argument....

A: Cutting development effort in half across the board? What you propose is nothing less than the mythical silver bullet! So, yes, it would be a spectacularly worthwhile trade-off. Build time can always be gotten under control with faster machines, parallelisation, Moore's law etc. At the moment, developer effort per feature and quality is pretty much irreducible - even the best software methodologies have a hard time proving that they reduce it even by a small amount - and developer salaries are the bottleneck in software production.

A: If you had such a mythical compiler, I would put foward a business case to my boss to buy each developer a computer that was 4 times faster than we currently have. He would jump at the prospect of doubling the output of 30 developers by spending around $100K.
I am guessing you compiler really is mythical.....

A: Well, developping in C++ I guess that I qualify for long compile-time :)
The truth is, although compile-time can indeed get important, there is much to be done to parallelize it (I work off a 24-core server, and we use distcc to pool them), therefore compiling the whole application is about 5/6 minutes despite its quite impressive size. Incremental builds are about 20/30 seconds (there is some load time for automated dependency checks).
On the other hand, the program takes about 1m/1m30 to load because of a whole lot of configuration happening during (and right after) DLL load.
As such, while I do feel crippled by a slow turn around (annoying when you want to test a quick fix), compile time is not even half the story.
If I used an interpreted language (say Python), I would probably lose more time because it would need to compile anyway (even though implicitly) and the load time would be much slower... (Well, and of course Python is not really multi-threaded so it would not be a good fit :/)

A: Poor implementation aside, there are three things that make compilers slow:

*

*optimization - many good compilers take a lot of time to actually optimize the crap out of what looks like obvious imperative code. The advantage of this is, that you don't have to spend a lot of time performing trivial micro-optimization based on assumptions that might just as well be wrong, when the compiler often has far better heuristics and knowledge of the targeted platform than you do. Thus you can concentrate on writing clear code. That saves a lot of time while writing and even more while debugging.

*language features - there are many expensive language features. Overloading for example is one. Before you can call an overloaded method you need to perform a static type analysis at the call site. A problem a C compiler will not encounter for example. Static type systems in general are not without cost, but provide obvious benefits. Also generic programming can be quite expensive (especially something as expressive as C++ templates), as well as other kinds of meta-programming. So while it might take the compiler some time to understand what you mean to express and translate it to an executable form, you have the advantage of being able to express things a lot closer to your thoughts. You can write programs, that are significantly shorter and therefore easier to maintain.

*safety - many compilers (or build tools) perform static analysis beyond what is necessary to compile a program. Through all kinds of flow analysis and other techniques, they are able to pinpoint code sections that probably are mistakes and warn you accordingly. This allows to greatly diminish the potential of bugs and saves you long debugging time, that mostly consists on trying to reproduce some bug that happens quite rarely.

I think all of these are of great benefit. Personally, I dislike the idea of doing something, that a machine cannot only do for me, but probably do it even faster and better. I see no value in performing dull and repetitive tasks myself. This consumes a lot of time, introduces new sources of error and puts an unnecessary strain on me, keeping me from concentrating on more important aspects of programming.

A: Performance doesn't matter in computing -- until it does, that is. And when performance does matter it can be the driving factor.
Performance is not a factor if this hypothetical language changes a 2 or 3 second compile time into ten seconds. As a programmer, you haven't lost mental context in that ten seconds. Performance is a huge factor if this hypothetical language changes an already unacceptable two hour build into a day-long build. This kind of "improvement" will drastically change how the team designs, programs, and tests. A from-scratch nightly build and test may no longer run over night. Programmers will lose mental context and suffer a productivity loss rather than a productivity gain.
Example: This might well happen when a product switches from a custom input file language to a scheme that uses python. SWIG is nice but it can add a huge build burden, easily making that hypothetical factor of four a reality.

A: No right answer here.
Faster compilation tends to build a tendancy, in some programmers not all, of "lets just try this". Because trying is "cheap", ie fast, and so tinkering happens instead of thinking.
Slower compilation . turn around tends to lead to being very careful before compiling so that you don't waste time down the track. But it also tends to be frustrating because of the slow turn around, the lack of quick gratification, and the percetion that time is a-wasting.
In both cases there are perceptions (wasted time vs quick feedback) and different thought processes.
In both cases, the really good programmers don't really care - they plan their work, think before compiling anyhow, and generally know what they are doing and so avoid tinkering.
The less than really grand programmers can have their inadequacies masked by the faster compile / run cycle... they get caught out in the end by a lack on understanding anyhow - but it can take longer to uncover their weaknesses.
The whole thing about "cpu cycles are cheap" first materialised back when I was at Uni in the late 1980's - spouted off by some lecturer. EVERY SINGLE JOB I've had since then put that to the test and found it to be a lie.
CPU cycles almost always count for something somewhere: on embedded systems, poor or slow code means that the rocket won't fly straight or the washing machine over-fills. Web systems run out of steam and need more expensive hardware when there are too many connections. Business systems run for too long to to queries. And on and on it goes. As demands go up, software size and complexity goes up, processing performance goes up, demands go up... and on and on the cycle repeats.
In all these things there is a trade off, and it's usually not very obvious where it lies until you dig deep to look at things.

Study shows rise in U.S. vehicle ownership per person, household
Anisa Jibrell
Ownership rates for cars and light trucks have touched their highest levels since 2008 and 2009, according to a report from the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute.
The report, led by university researcher Michael Sivak, is part of an ongoing study that has zeroed in on changes in ownership and miles driven in the U.S. since 1984.
Now in its tenth iteration, the report shows car ownership rose to 0.766 per person in 2016 from 0.756 in 2015, while the rate per household has increased to 1.968 from 1.95 in 2015. Per-person rates have been on the rise for four consecutive years while household rates have increased three years in a row.
Both rates were at their peak in 2006, when there were 2.05 cars per household and 0.79 cars per American on average. Since then, per person rates are down 2.5 percent while household rates have slipped 4 percent.
In addition, the report looked at annual distances driven per person and per household. Since 2004, when both rates peaked, miles driven on a per-person basis dropped 5.3 percent in 2016 from 9,314, and miles driven per household slipped 7 percent from 24,349.
Miles driven grew 1.9 percent to 8,819 miles in 2016 from 2015 on a per person basis, while miles driven per household rose 1.5 percent to 22,649 miles. The rate per person for 2016 is at about the same as it was in 2003, while the rate per household is about the same as it was in 1994.

We have a 1985 Dodge Ram van for sale in Panama or Costa Rica for $1500 ono.
It has been converted with the entire back of the car now a double bed, reading lights in the roof, fully carpeted, driver and passenger captain seats, 8 cup holders.
It was purchased in California 6 months ago with 76000 original miles, now has 88000 after driving it down. We purchased the carfax before we bought it and it hasn't clocked over. Has been very well taken care of by ourselves and only 2 previous owners, no accidents and nothing has gone wrong with the engine.
It is american plated but we have an understanding that we would just need to arrange for a notorized letter which states the new owner has been gifted the car by us and this along with the title and registration papers can be used to put the vehicle into your name at the next border crossing.
We are currently in Bocas Del Toro, Panama, with our van waiting in Almirante. We are willing to drive back over to Costa Rica as far as Puerto Viejo (using the border crossing in the north) to sell it or sell it anywhere in Panama.
If your interested please email [email protected] for photos or questions.

시중 유통 중인 곡류, 콩류, 견과류, 종실류 등 134건에 대하여 8종의 곰팡이독소를 LC-MS/MS를 이용하여 동시 분석하였다. 전체 시료 중 22건에서 fumonisin B1, B2, zearalenone, ochratoxin A 등 4종이 검출되어 16.4%가 곰팡이독소에 오염된 것으로 나타났으며 독성이 강한 aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, G2는 검출되지 않았다. 검출된 곰팡이독소 중 fumonisin (B1+B2)은 0.48~560.2 μg/kg, zearalenone은 0.22~ 28.6 μg/kg 수준으로 검출되었고 평균 검출량은 fumonisin 이 곡류 49.3 μg/kg, 유지종실류 10.1 μg/kg, zearalenone이 곡류 1.9 μg/kg, 콩류 1.5 μg/kg이었으며, ochratoxin A는 곡류에서 0.08 μg/kg 수준으로 검출되었다. 기장에서 검출 된 ochratoxin A는 4.8 μg/kg으로 기준치인 5.0 μg/kg에 근 접하여 검출되었는데 생산년도가 2016년인 것을 감안하면 상당히 높은 수준으로 지속적인 관심이 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 곰팡이독소가 검출된 나머지 품목은 2015년에 생산되었는데 특히 곡류 중 율무와 수수는 대부분의 시료에서 곰팡이독소가 검출됐으며 땅콩 및 견과류에서는 검출 되지 않았다. 곰팡이독소가 검출된 품목의 검출빈도를 살펴보면 율무 66.7%, 수수 87.5%, 조 20%, 기장 20%로 곡류 중 약 27%가 독소에 오염된 것으로 나타났고, 콩류는 팥에서 60%가 검출되어 콩류 전체로는 12.5%가 오염됐으며 유지종실류는 깨에서 33.3%가 검출되어 유지종실류 전체로는 11.8%가 독소에 노출된 것으로 나타났다. 한편 곰팡이독소 중 fumonisin과 zearalenone이 동시에 검출된 품목은 율무 2건, 수수 3건이었으며 fumonisin이 검출된 경우 대부분의 시료에서 fumonisin B1, B2 가 동시에 검출 되었으나 율무, 조, 참깨 각 1건에서 fumonisin B1만 검출 되었다. 본 연구결과를 기초로 하여 산출한 1인 1일 노출 량은 곡류의 경우 fumonisin 1.4 × 10−2 μg/kg b.w./day, zearalenone 5.6 × 10−4 μg/kg b.w./day, ochratoxin A 2.2 × 10−5 ng/kg b.w./day 이었으며 콩류에서는 zearalenone 5.4 × 10−5 μg/kg b.w./day, 종실류는 7.4 × 10−5 μg/kg b.w./day으로 이를 바탕으로 WHO/JECFA에서 제시한 자료를 바탕으로 PMTDI 대비 인체 노출량을 산출한 결과 fumonisin은 곡류 0.72% 종실류 0.004% zearalenone 곡류 0.11%, 콩류 0.01%에 해당하는 양이었으며 ochratoxin A는 PTWI 대비 0.14%, EC의 TDI 대비 0.45%로 검출된 곰팡이독소가 인체에 대한 유해할 가능성은 낮은 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구결과 곰팡이독소는 기준치 이내의 아주 적은 양 검출되 었지만 기후 온난화로 인해 독성이 강한 곰팡이독소가 생성되기 쉬운 환경으로 변해가고 있어 농산물의 생산, 저장, 포장 과정에 이르기까지 보다 폭 넓은 연구가 이루어져 곰팡이독소로 인한 안전성 논란에 대비해야 할 것으로 판단된다.
The purpose of this study was to investigate and evaluate the safety of the grains, nut products, beans and oilseeds being sold in Gyeonggi province by analyzing mycotoxins. A multi-mycotoxins analysis method based on LC-MS/MS was validated and applied for the determination of eight mycotoxins, including aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1 and G2), fumonisins (B1, B2), zearalenone and ochratoxcin A in 134 samples. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) for the eight mycotoxins ranged from 0.14 to 8.25 μg/kg and from 1.08 to 7.21 μg/kg, respectively. Recovery rates of mycotoxins were determined in the range of 61.1 to 97.5% with RSD of 1.0~14.5% (n=3). Fumonisin B1, B2, zearalenone, and ochratoxin A were detected in 22 samples, indicating that 27% of grains, 12.5% of beans and 11.8% of oilseeds were contaminated. Fumonisin and zearalenone were detected simultaneously in 2 adlays and 3 sorghums. Fumonisin B1 and B2 were detected simultaneously in most samples whereas fumonisin B1 was detected in 1 adlay, 1 millet and 1 sesame sample. The average detected amount of fumonisin was 49.3 μg/kg and 10.1 μg/kg for grains and oilseeds, respectively. The average detected amount of zearalenone was 1.9 μg/kg and 1.5 μg/kg for grains and beans, respectively. In addition, the average amount of ochratoxin A was 0.08 μg/kg for grains. The calculated exposure amounts of fumonisin, zeralenone and ochratoxin A for grains, beans and oilseeds were below the PMTDI/PTWI.

Statement of WisDems Chair Mike Tate on Scott Walker's Re-Election Announcement
The following is a statement from Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chairman Mike Tate on Scott Walker's re-election announcement:
"Today, Scott Walker kicked off his campaign of absolute failure. By any measure, his trickle down, top down approach of tax cuts for the rich has failed. During his first term, we plummeted from the 11th best state in the country at creating jobs to 35th in the nation today.
"Since Walker has taken office, our state has ranked second to last among our Midwestern neighbors in job creation; we currently lag behind the rest of the country in job creation, creating jobs at nearly half the pace of the national average. Wisconsin is one of the five worst states for new business start-ups, and our rate of entrepreneurial activity declined in the past year.
"During his 2010 campaign, Scott Walker promised voters he would create 250,000 new jobs, and asked the people of Wisconsin to hold him accountable to that promise.
"Plain and simple, Walker has failed to create jobs and he's failed as a Governor."
