With all of our St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, and Good Friday coming up, I wanted to share one of my favorites – Beer Battered Fish and Chips. Since moving from the ocean, it’s been hard to find fresh, wild caught fish, so when I saw wild cod on sale, I took full advantage and made these Fish and Chips with one of our favorite local beers.
There isn’t anything quite like GOOD fish and chips. Growing up, there was a place on the lake that was known for their fish and chips – Hutches. It was one of my favorite places to go. There was car shows there, the lake and beach, games to play, and of course, the fish and chips! As I grew older, my Grandma and I would go to Hutches and it made everything in life seem so simple, like I was a kid again – at least in that moment.
If you’ve been following Mom’s Bistro for a while, and saw the Beer Passport that I made D.J. for our anniversary, you’ll know how much we enjoy going to some local breweries, and trying new beer. We had some Breckenridge Avalanche beer in our fridge, and decided to use that for the fish and chips – good choice!
Beer Battered Fish and Chips really doesn’t take long to make at all, and you can make as much or as little as you want!
6, 5oz filets cod or other firm white fish
1 cup flour
1/2 tbsp baking powder
1/2 – 1 cup corn starch
1, 12 oz bottle good beer
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
3-4 russet potatoes, washed, skin on and cut into fries
canola oil, for frying
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with a wire rack. Heat deep fryer or a deep pot with oil to 375 degrees.
Soak cut potatoes in a large bowl filled with cold water, and use your fingers to toss the potatoes around. Let potatoes soak in cold water while you prepare the fish.
In a large bowl mix flour, spices and baking soda together. While whisking, pour in beer, and whisk until smooth. Place in fridge for at least 15 minutes. Pour corn starch into a shallow bowl.
Lightly dredge each fish in corn starch filet and set aside.
Drain potatoes, and dry thoroughly on a clean kitchen towel. Turn up heat, and working in batches, cook fries until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and add to baking sheet. Season with a sprinkle of salt and place in oven.
When fries are done, turn up heat to 400 degrees. Dip cod in prepared batter, and carefully drop into hot oil. Make sure not to over crowd the pot, or you’ll have mushy fish. Fry, turing once with tongs or a slotted spoon for 3-4 minutes.
Remove from oil with a large slotted spoon, season with salt and put in the oven with fries. Continue cooking fish one or two filets at a time.
Remove fish and fries from oven, and serve with malt vinegar.

Health Insurance Appeal
Questions and Answers
Do I have to appeal? What if I just don't pay the bill?
If you are billed by your medical provider and you decide not to pay, the medical provider may send you to collections, which may negatively impact your credit rating. Many times we have heard that a patient, in trying to purchase a new home or car, find out at that moment that their bill is in collections and are unable to complete the purchase.
Is appealing a claim difficult?
Appealing a claim denial may sound complex, but Health Symphony takes the complexity out of this process by having readily available appeal letters that have been used by actual medical providers. All that would be required is to fill in the blanks of the appropriate appeal letter and send it to the health plan. Free Appeal Letters
What is the likelihood that my denial will be overturned?
We have found that 60% of all claim denials could be overturned when appealed with a properly worded appeal letter. Many times health plans make mistakes or they just require some additional information or insight into the claim for them to make their decision.
Can' t someone appeal for me?
There are health care attorneys that may assist. But they may take only large dollar cases and are themselves very expensive. You don't need to be a health care and insurance professional to appeal a claim denial, you just need the right tools.
What if my appeal is denied?
Try again. Health plans must continue to review appeals as long as there is new information presented each time. Additionally, it would be helpful to call and follow up on the appeal and try to get a health insurance representative on your side. It just requires one person at the health plan to change their mind and pay the claim. If the health plan continues to deny the claim, you could file a complaint with the State Department of Insurance.
How do I know if my appeal worked?
Health Plans will review the appeal letter and determine if your argument is justified with the information submitted. If the health plan agrees to overturn a denial, they will reprocess the claim and resend an explanation of payments (EOB) and include a payment.
What percentage of appeals are overturned.
Nearly 40% of appeals are paid in the first appeal attempt. This may seem high, but knowing that health plans make mistakes and they may have interpreted the policy incorrectly or agree to waive a policy or restriction will result in more claims getting paid. If your appeal is denied, continue trying. As long as the health plan receives new information, they must continue to review your appeal.
If my claim continues to be denied, do I pay the doctor what they ask?
You should attempt to negotiate with your physician for a reduced amount. Generally a 50% discount would be considered to be a good amount. The reason for the reduced payment is because health plans also don't pay the full amount and consumers without insurance should be given the same benefit. But, make sure your physician has accepted this and that you don't assume that you would only need to pay 50%. Not having an agreement with an open balance could result your balance being sent to Collections and impact your credit rating.

New artificial intelligence-supported “Superteams” will play a central role in the future structure of staffing at federal agencies, according to a new report by Deloitte.
In a study published Thursday, the consultancy firm said challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic during the last year had fast-tracked the use digital technology to streamline workflows and reduce the volume of mundane tasks that staff must undertake.
“During the COVID-19 pandemic, many public sector organizations accelerated incorporating technology into their team structure as a survival strategy to enable adaptability and speed.
“Superteams ensure that the right workforce type (human or technology) gets properly allocated to critical tasks: by using digital technology to unburden the human workforce of dirty, dangerous, and dull tasks, leaders enable the workforce to focus on meaningful, high-impact work that requires human insight to solve problems, think strategically, and build interpersonal relationships,” Deloitte said in the study.
The study comes as government agencies continue to experiment with the use of AI to automate business processes, including at the Pentagon. The Defense Innovation Unit and private sector contractors have worked with the U.S. Army to develop automated systems for flagging erroneous financial transactions.
DataRobot and Summit2Sea are among the private sector contractors that have developed machine learning systems for the DOD.
According to Deloitte, superteams are defined by giving technology the status of a full-on teammate. The consultancy says that although technology systems must still be led by humans, they are growing rapidly in their ability to be applied to complex problems.

umami on the cheap
December 1, 2009 § 4 Comments
just thinking about how i ate vegan/raw vegan for a year with very very little money (living off donations) in a warehouse with no kitchen. and all we had was a camping stove. and a coffeemaker. we could boil water.
part of the reason that i was eating vegan. was because it was less expensive for me. since i didnt have a stove or an oven. plus i dont like meat. and meat and dairy products are really hard for me to digest.
and i love tasty food. it needs to have flavor. onions, garlic, ginger, pepper. im a southern girl. i like it spicy. i love umami.
and there was no grocery store nearby. the nearest ones were a couple of miles away and i didnt have a car. so i had to walk it when i could. that was easier in the warm weather. but in the winter when the snow would blanket the sidewalks, there were plenty of times i just couldnt hike it.
so the closest stores were convenience stores in our working class neighborhood. lots of chips and cookies and sodas.
so anyways, this morning as i was drinking my tea i was thinking about what did i eat back then?
(i am a grazer. and i dont think in terms of ‘meals’ just in terms of ‘im hungry. what is there to eat right now?’ so nuts, fruit, and crackers are a mainstay.
and i dont like soup. cannot get into eating salty water.)
so whenever i could make it out to a grocery store. like when someone would give me a ride, or let me borrow their car, or it was a nice enough day to walk to it. this is what i stocked up on:
rice (i dont like ramen or most store bought pastas. so rice was good for me. you buy it in bulk. it lasts a long time. and if guests stop by you can always just make some more rice. brown rice is super good for you but takes much longer to boil. so often i just went with white rice. )
couscous (coucous can be used to make savory or sweet dishes. in the morning i would make a hot cereal with it-see below- and in the evening i would chop up fresh veggies and mix it with some cooked couscous, olive oil, soy sauce and spices.)
soy sauce or braggs amino acids
dried red beans
dried black beans
vitamin enriched soymilk (this was the splurge. i love vanilla soymilk straight out of the carton)
roasted cashews. (the other splurge. love. love. love. cashews)
oranges (in the middle of a grey winter, oranges taste like a miracle)
olive oil (frankly, this is really expensive. but, i consider it a necessity. there are a lot of other foods that i was willing to give up before before olive oil…)
dried red pepper
at the convenience stores i would buy:
black tea and green tea.
super expensive fruit every once in a while. when the bananas didnt look too sad.
roasted nuts. especially cashews.
100 percent juice concentrate: apple juice, grape, grapefruit, orange juice.
i would always keep my eye out for fresh fruit that was reasonably prices. unfortunately a lot of the fruit would be tasteless, not sweet, in the middle of winter. one of the ways to deal with this is to sprinkle some salt on the fruit. the salt brings out some of the sweetness. works great with watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple, etc.
in the summer, i would buy whatever fruit was in season and cheap. farmers markets are great when i could get to them.
- avocados with salt or soy milk or hot sauce or lemon sprinkled on top.
- fruit salad
- fruit smoothies with soy milk
- pineapples and avocados are filling
i drank a lot. a lot. of tea.
black and green tea
–suppresses the appetite, and has antioxidants. also the caffeine can be a nice gentle pick me up when its hard to get moving.
i would buy the teas loose when possible (its usually cheaper loose and a tea ball is a couple of dollars.)
and i would buy the masala spice mix from india to put in the tea. and then mix some vanilla soy milk with it. (a lot of folks in the states call this ‘chai tea’, but in a lot of the world-including india- chai means tea. )
also, lemon in black tea. would taste great in the evenings.
when i would make it out to the natural food co op. i would stock up on loose spices and loose teas from the bulk bins. the cool think about herbs and teas is that they are relatively inexpensive if you buy them in bulk. if i had guests drop by, i could always offer them tea. and teas in a pretty package (pretty paper or bags tied with ribbon) make a nice quick gift. i often mix red raspberry, mint, and roses in a piece of plastic and tie with a ribbon for pregnant women and new moms. red raspberry leaf is an excellent tonic for the uterus. the dried roses are pretty. and the mint is aromatic.
echinacea–healthy immune system
dandelion–healthy immune system
hibiscus/jamaica/karkade (which makes a beautiful deep purple red color in your mug)
red raspberry–strong uterus
sage–wakes me up and cleans the blood
a yummy warm breakfast.
bring the water boil.
put in the water as it is starting to boil, diced apples, cinnamon, and ginger.
pour in the couscous.
let the couscous cook until it is fluffy and has soaked in some of the water.
eat and enjoy. great for cold morning. warm, spicy, and sweet.
you can replace the apples for oranges. also yummy.
i dont really like lentils. but a lot of people do. and you dont have to soak them for very long before you cook them.
i soak the red and black beans over night with garlic and onions and pepper in a pot. then i would put some fresh water in the pot. and cook it slowly with some diced tomatoes and olive oil. before eating i sprinkle ontop fresh green onions, and other veggies. and season to taste.
eat it with some rice.
also can put a bit of olive oil in a pot. and fry some carrots and potatoes for a few minutes with soy sauce until the veggies have softened. then add garlic, peppers, onions, and a bit of lemon and spices into the pot. fry for a couple of more minutes. and serve ontop of rice or couscous.
i found a blender at the thrift store for ten bucks. made soymilk smoothies. soymilk, diced apples, diced oranges, and diced bananas. add a bit of cinnamon on top.
i grew sprouts. some people dont like the texture of sprouts. i can understand that. sprouts for me are really useful. they are easy to grow. they are really nutritious and help to clean the blood and build the immune system.
i like to sprinkle them on savory veggie dishes. like stir fried veggies. and raw salads.
i sprouted black beans, wheat, alfalfa, buckwheat, sesame. lentils can also sprout. here is a list of seeds to sprout.
chop up some raw okra. mix it with some olive oil and soy sauce. eat. great finger food for the grazer.
twice i have found cheap dehydrators. ten to fifteen bucks. one time at a thrift store. and one time at a garage sale. both times, they were still in their original boxes and came with the instruction booklets. fucking gold. i especially love dehydrated tomatoes. slice the tomatoes and put them in the dehydrator for a day. then put them in a small jar with diced garlic, black pepper, and pour in olive oil until the olive oil covers the tomatoes. set it aside for a couple of days.
umami. pure umami. i will just eat the dried tomatoes whole (great for grazing). also can slice them and put them in any savory dish. they add a hearty almost meaty flavor to anything.
kale. back when i was a kid. my mom used to grow kale in her yard. and sometimes she would pick kale out in the grasses/woods beside grocery stores or wherever she saw it. only the other southern black kids that i knew ate kale. now, i guess it is considered some ‘wonder health food’. well, at least it is still cheap. kale is a thick leafy green. that is chockfull of wonderfulness. i like to eat it raw. chop it up. marinate in olive oil, vinegar, garlic. also it doesnt go bad too quickly.
also when i had a blender. and it was summer. i would blend up some orange slices, apple, a touch of lemon, and whatever other fruits i felt like (fresh strawberries) and then take the blended up fruit sauce and use it as a dressing to put on top of fresh kale and other green leaves (like spinach) and maybe some spring onion.
also i would make green smoothies. in a blender mix. some kale, bananas, orange, and whatever fruits i like. great for breakfast. thick and filling.
also the kale leaf makes a nice substitute for tortillas, when i make veggie wraps. the veggies can be cooked or raw. and the kale leaf is thick and strong enough to hold the veggies inside.
in my bag i normally stashed roasted nuts (cashews!), an apple or orange, or crackers. that way when i get hungry out on the town i always had something to munch on. sometimes i would pack a tea ball with tea or herbas and a camping cup/thermos, so that i could make tea. as long as i could find some hot water.

Is Bill Watterson Staging a Comeback?
This has been a good year for Calvin and Hobbes fans.
First, fans created a film documentary called “Dear Mr. Watterson” last November, which explored creator Bill Watterson’s classic comic strip, and the devotion it has inspired over the years.
Then, in June, comic strip creator Stephan Pastis revealed that Watterson had helped him create a series of threecomicstrips, completely unbeknownst to the public. Bill Watterson emailed Pastis and pitched the comic strip idea: “he thought it would be funny to have me get hit on the head or something and suddenly be able to draw. Then he’d step in and draw my comic strip for a few days.”
Pastis wrote back, “Dear Bill, I will do whatever you want, including setting my hair on fire.”
The process revealed to Pastis (and us) more details on Watterson’s aversion to technology and attention:
Technology is not [Watterson’s] friend. I found that out when it came to the logistics of the artwork. I drew my part first and then shipped him the strips. I wanted him to fill in the panels I left blank, and simply scan and email me back the finished strips.
I asked him to do this because I did not want to be responsible for handling his finished artwork. Partly because I knew it would be worth thousands of dollars. Partly because I knew he wanted to auction it off for charity. And partly because my UPS driver has a tendency to leave my packages in the dirt at the end of our driveway. (I could just imagine the email I’d have to write the next day: “Dear Mr. Watterson – The first comic strip you’ve drawn in 20 years was ravaged by a squirrel.”)
So this left doing it my way. Digitally. And this is when I found out that Bill Watterson is not comfortable with scanners or Photoshop or large email attachments. In fact, by the end of the process, I was left with the distinct impression that he works in a log cabin lit by whale oil and hands his finished artwork to a man on a pony.
Now, as the culmination of this year’s Watterson appearances, we have his first exclusive comic strip drawn for the public in ages—a piece he created for France’s Angoulême International Comics Festival. It’s a comic without words, a comic that transcends language and tells a story purely through pictures. And, as several other commentators have pointed out, it’s pure Watterson.
— Fokke & Sukke (@fokkesukke) November 5, 2014
These new pieces of artwork have delighted fans, people who have sorely missed Watterson’s presence in the comic strip world. It makes one wonder—will he disappear into solitude again? Or is Watterson staging a slow but steady reappearance into the world of comics?
Here’s the thing. If Watterson had never disappeared from the public eye, it seems likely Calvin and Hobbes would’ve eventually been commercialized. The clamor of various greedy companies would have been incessant. As he himself told graduates in a 1990 Kenyon College commencement speech,
“The so-called ‘opportunity’ I faced would have meant giving up my individual voice for that of a money-grubbing corporation. It would have meant my purpose in writing was to sell things, not say things. My pride in craft would be sacrificed to the efficiency of mass production and the work of assistants. Authorship would become committee decision. Creativity would become work for pay. Art would turn into commerce.”
But Watterson has been out of the public eye long enough, and Calvin and Hobbes have been consigned to classic status. People revere the strip. They appreciate its set-apartness from the commercialization of other classics. Most fans wouldn’t even want a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon or stuffed animal line, if it became available. Through their love of Calvin and Hobbes, they have come to love Watterson and his vision for the strip, as well. They appreciate and respect his protection of Calvin and Hobbes.
Which means that now, after all this time, Watterson is free to create again—to create something new. Something unique, artistic, and fresh. No one is really demanding that he add to the Calvin and Hobbes canon. It’s perfect as it is. His recent concoctions—for Pearls Before Swine and the Angoulême International Comics Festival—are completely new, and incredibly fun. Just as we’d expect Watterson’s work to be.
So, to answer the question, “Is Bill Watterson staging a comeback?”, I’d guess probably not… but if he did, he now has the perfect opportunity to launch a new comic strip, or to just add occasional bits of fresh artwork to the comic strip world. He has won the status and respect necessary to create new artwork without the pressure to commercialize.

RICHMOND, Va. (BP)–The International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, in a statement issued June 18, applauded the resolution on “the sexual integrity of ministers” adopted at the June 11-12 SBC annual meeting in St. Louis while acknowledging an instance when the problem had occurred in its ranks.
“Sadly, our record in this area is not without blemish and we are not immune from such problems, though our policies and current stance on sexual misconduct are very strong,” IMB President Jerry Rankin said. Internal policies of the IMB were strengthened in the area of sexual misconduct a decade ago and reflect a zero tolerance on sexual offenses.
The Richmond-based IMB funds more than 5,200 missionaries serving around the world and Rankin acknowledged there have been isolated cases of sexual abuse in the past, noting the case of William McElrath who served as a missionary with the IMB in Indonesia from 1967 to 1995.
On June 17, McElrath sent an open letter to family and friends “confessing” to “sinful acts” involving “touching, tickling, cuddling, fondling that went too far.”
In 1973 a complaint was made against McElrath, accusing him of fondling two children of missionaries in Indonesia. The accusation was reviewed by field administrators, parents of the children involved, McElrath, and his wife. The matter was resolved among the parties.
In January 1995, additional incidents of sexual abuse between the years of 1967 and 1973 were brought to the attention of IMB officials. After the investigation, McElrath admitted the charges and he was terminated immediately.
Because the incidents took place outside the United States and more than 20 years earlier, the North Carolina Department of Social Services informed the IMB that no legal recourse was possible. However, five of his victims have met with IMB officials recently and the IMB is taking initiatives to provide additional counseling to these men and women.
Rankin noted that the IMB has strict written policies addressing sexual misconduct and outlining procedures for handling violations. For example, a written IMB policy states that, “If personnel suspect sexual misconduct, they should report it immediately to the regional leader without first attempting to effect a local solution.” Grounds for termination include “sexual assault or harassment, pedophilia, or sexual misconduct by personnel involving a minor.”
“Even though wrong behavior took place nearly 30 years ago, the scars and repercussions are very real and painful,” Rankin said. “We are firmly committed to reaching out to victims and dealing decisively with violators.
“We are engaged in an ongoing review of our policies regarding sexual misconduct, ” Rankin added, “and we are committed to continuous training of our personnel in awareness and prevention of sexual misconduct.”
The SBC resolution acknowledges “our own fallenness and the need to prevent such appalling sins from happening within our own ranks.”
The resolution also acknowledges “sexual infidelity and other violations of ministerial integrity have tragic consequences for those who are victimized….” It calls on “our churches to discipline those guilty of any sexual abuse” and to “cooperate with civil authorities in the prosecution of those cases.”
The document encourages “those religious bodies dealing with the tragedy of clergy abuse in their efforts to rid their ranks of predatory ministers,” something Rankin acknowledged was not always done expediently within the ranks of the organization.
An Associated Press report June 18 quoted Bill Merrell, a vice president with the SBC Executive Committee, as stating that sexual abuse cases remain rare in Baptist churches. “the best way to deal with the issue,” Merrell said, “is to be forthright, direct, positive and aggressive.”
The IMB was formed in 1845 and has commissioned more than 15,000 missionaries since then, with a third of them still serving today in more than 100 countries. The IMB also sends more than 30,000 volunteers worldwide each year and administers a multi-million dollar world hunger/disaster relief fund.

I treated people of different age ranges (children, teenagers, adults) with psychological pathologies such as depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. I treated patients who had been harassed at work, and patients victims of gender-based violence. I work with gifted and talented youths, and special talents in the artistic, athletic or academic field.

Fans have been eagerly expecting the new season of Dancing With the Stars as a teaser was released earlier this month. As per the latest report, the new season of the ABC’s show will soon hit the screens.
A clip shared on social media made the revelation about the show. However, Good Morning America unveiled who the pros will be dancing in the upcoming season. According to the announcement made on Tuesday morning, season 29 of America’s beloved reality dance competition series will premiere September 14.
Earlier reports suggested that The Bachelorette’s Kaitlyn Bristowe will be participating in the show. Dancing With The Stars will retain some of the fan-favourites including Sharna Burgess, Peta Murgatroyd, Val Chmerkovskiy, Cheryl Burke, Keo Motsepe, Jenna Johnson, Alan Bersten, Brandon Armstrong, Sasha Farber, Pasha Pashkov, Emma Slater and Gleb Savchenko. Britt Stewart and Daniella Karagach are joining the cast as first-time pros.
Emma Slater even joked on ‘GMA’ when asked about the new mandate. She said, “It’s going to be bliss — I mean it’s going to be terrible. It’s (Dancing With The Stars) going to be so different because we can’t actually interact and even prep with each other, which is something completely different, but we’re doing everything we can to keep safe. There’s going to be a lot of FaceTiming.”
— Good Morning America (@GMA) August 17, 2020
As the Coronavirus pandemic had taken over the world, it’s was unclear just how Dancing With The Stars will look when it premieres in September. However, ET was the first to break the news that ABC is planning to return with dance reality show next month.

Susanna Johnston, sister of our much-missed late editor, Alexander Chancellor, is publishing her memoir, Rescuing My Father, on December 10th.
Alexander would have turned 80 on January 4th next year. Susanne recalls his early days in the Chancellor home in Hertfordshire.
The house was close enough to London that it was threatened by the Blitz, and baby Alexander took to sleeping in a giant gas mask.
‘Many of our windows were fragmented,’ writes Susanna, ‘but never the one that was sited immediately above Alexander as he slept in his gas mask.’
Susanna Johnston also recalls the time the 16-year-old Crown Prince Akihito of Japan (later the Emperor, who abdicated earlier this year), came to stay with the Chancellors in 1949.
The Crown Prince proceeded to thrash Susanne at ping-pong.
Nearly 50 years later, in 1998, during the controversial state visit of Emperor Akihito revived this humiliating event in print.
‘My sister is not completely ready to normalise relations with Japan,’ he wrote, ‘since she is still hoping for an apology from the Emperor for having cruelly defeated her at ping-pong some 40 years ago.’

The tempo of diplomatic and military action paving the way to a possible ceasefire in Libya's bloody civil war was gathering pace yesterday with reports that a son of Muammar Gaddafi was attempting to broker a deal.
Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, who has appeared as a public and belligerent face of the regime during the weeks of violent strife, is said to be proposing an agreement which would limit the role of his father and include opposition figures in an interim government. Elections would be held in the near future and a "reconciliation process" put in place.
The details of the plan cannot be independently verified. However, according to diplomatic sources, senior officials in the West view Saif al-Islam, who supposedly wants to remain to play a "constructive role" in a post-war Libya, as a credible figure.
There is, however, deep hatred of the dictator and his family among the supporters of the revolution and the demands for retribution against the Gaddafis have ranged from trial on charges of human rights abuse, to forced exile.
Meanwhile, a key Libyan official said yesterday that Tripoli was attempting to hold talks with the US, Britain and France to find a mutual end to the crisis.
Abdul-Ati al-Obeidi, a former Libyan prime minister, said Gaddafi's government was reaching out to those leading the international military campaign in an attempt to halt air strikes against regime targets which began on 19 March.
Yesterday, the opposition's provisional government in Benghazi announced it was ready to accept a cessation of hostilities in return for the regime ending its offensive against the rebels throughout the country. Mustafa Abdul Jalil, the head of the Transitional National Council, said: "We agree on a ceasefire on the condition our brothers in the Western cities have freedom of expression and also that the forces besieging the cities withdraw. At that point we shall see how all Libyan people want freedom."
Mr Jalil later added: "Our main demand is the departure of Gaddafi and his two sons from Libya. This is a demand we will not go back on." But officials of the provisional government said afterwards that there were differing stipulations for the ceasefire and a permanent peace deal, with the removal of the Gaddafis applying to the latter. Late last night, the Gaddafi regime spokesman, Mussa Ibrahim, initially dismissed the terms offered by the rebels.
Mr Ibrahim also said six civilians had been killed and dozens wounded in a coalition attack on a village near the eastern city of Brega on Thursday, which were also reported by the BBC, making this the first credible report of civilian deaths resulting from Nato bombing. Mr Ibrahim descried the air strikes as a "crime against humanity".
Despite almost two weeks of Western air strikes, the revolutionary forces have abjectly failed to make headway against the loyalists and yesterday's declaration was seen as an admission a military victory is now beyond them. A ceasefire would allow the time to train and arm its fighters with international help. But opposition officials have also privately confided they are desperate to retake Brega and Ras Lanuf, two oil ports of huge financial and strategic interest, before there is a halt to the fighting.
This aim was reflected in the field with former armed forces personnel who had defected to the revolution taking over the running of the campaign from the Shabaab, volunteer fighters, who for the last few weeks had been in charge of its chaotic course.
General Bashir Abu-Gadr, who has gained a reputation as one of the few able commanders in the rebel ranks, left his hospital bed, where he was receiving treatment for battlefield injuries, to take charge of the operation to capture Brega. Also, for the first time since the conflict began, the two most senior officers in the revolutionary forces, General Abdel-Fattah Younis and General Khalifa Haftar, visited the front line.
Gen Abu-Gadr, who is believed to have liaised with Western diplomats, told The Independent at the rebels' most advanced position, 35 kilometres from Brega: "Ideally, I would like more heavy weapons before going ahead. But I have been told by the military council that it is necessary we drive the Gaddafi group out of Brega as soon as possible. After that, we shall go on to Ras Lanuf and then Bin Jawad to secure the approach routes.
"The military is in charge from today, we have told the Shabaab that from now on, they must follow instructions."
Regime forces, too, were attempting to secure military advantage ahead of any possible ceasefire with a renewed assault on Misrata, which has remained an opposition centre of resistance.
Even if a temporary ceasefire is arranged, a permanent peace deal involving Saif al-Islam is likely to prove highly problematic. Col Gaddafi's son has presented himself as a moderniser and someone who had attempted to breach divisions within Libyan society. Among his achievements, he and his supporters have stressed, was his role in persuading the fundamentalist Libyan Islamic Fighting Group to turn away from armed struggle and subsequently freeing their members from prison.
But Selim Ibrahimi, a political scientist in Benghazi, said: "Saif al-Islam has appeared on television and boasted that the revolution will be crushed. They now know they cannot win so they are coming forward with these plans.
"But the revolutionary forces can use a ceasefire to get the right weapons from the international powers. Most of all, it can stop the violence which is taking so many lives."
The Gaddafi clan: Where are they now?
Saif al-Islam Gaddafi
Once considered a sign of a more liberal Libyan future, Colonel Gaddafi's second son, pictured, appeared to have dashed these hopes when he vowed to crush rebel unrest during the early stages of the February 17 Revolution.
Believed to be the most powerful of Gaddafi's sons, 34-year-old Mutassim spent years in exile after allegedly plotting a coup against his father. Eventually allowed to return, he holds the powerful post of National Security Adviser.
After stints as a professional footballer, 35-year-old Saadi is thought to have played a major role in curbing the uprisings as head of Libya's special forces.
The regime has denied rumours that 27-year-old Khamis, head of the fierce Khamis Brigade of elite fighters, was killed on 19 March in a suicide mission by a Libyan pilot.
Colonel Gaddafi's brother-in-law and military intelligence chief is often described as his brutal "right-hand man". His whereabouts were unknown yesterday, leading to speculation that he had defected.
What does the defector want?
With his supposed whereabouts ranging from a wedding venue in Hampshire to a secure flat inside MI5's HQ, one of the few statements made with any certainty yesterday about Moussa Koussa was that he is the subject of one of the most detailed and searching debriefings carried out by MI6 in recent years.
But while the former Libyan foreign minister's knowledge on issues from the current state of mind of Colonel Gaddafi to the planning of the Lockerbie bombing will be priceless to his interlocutors, another unknown persists: what does the man who spent decades at the heart of a murderous regime get out of revealing its secrets? From David Cameron down, the Government was at pains to emphasise that when Mr Koussa's private jet touched down at Farnborough on Wednesday night, it did so on the clear understanding that he would receive no immunity from prosecution either in Britain or elsewhere.
However, the fact that this highly urbane member of Gaddafi's inner circle spent some 48 hours in Tunisia negotiating his defection before boarding a flight to the UK indicates that, at least, an understanding was reached between Mr Koussa and his British hosts.
The Independent understands basic undertakings were given that the 62-year-old's security would be assured in the face of a potential revenge attack by the Gaddafi regime. Mr Koussa is also thought to have arranged his financial affairs, boosted by Libya's oil wealth, before his departure, so funds could be accessed once he was in Europe.
But it is the more long-term future and whether Mr Koussa can expect to face criminal investigation that is the key question hanging over him.
Libya-watchers yesterday pointed out that any attempt to formally arrest or question the one-time close confidante of Gaddafi would have a chilling effect on the enthusiasm of other prominent figures in the regime to join the trickle of defectors and thus imperil efforts to drive the dictator from power.
Despite the fact Mr Koussa spent 17 years heading Libyan foreign intelligence, Whitehall sources have been careful to play down any claims, understood to be shared by US intelligence, that he co-ordinated the Lockerbie bombing in 1988.
According to friends, Mr Koussa is under no illusions that he may well end up facing British justice. Noman Benotman, a senior analyst for the Quilliam Foundation, who helped co-ordinate Mr Koussa's exit, said: "He is aware of what is going to happen to him here. He knows that there is justice here in the UK. He's very positive to co-operate."

Has anyone had an issue with Vcenter consistently loosing connection to their hosts? Here is my setup
Vcenter server on physical machine monitoring the following
3 Vsphere ESX 4.1 servers locally (on same subnet)
1 Vmware ESX 3.5 server at a remote location (different subnet)
1 Vmware ESX 4.1 server in a datacenter (public ip, also different subnet)
The 3 servers that are local and the one 3.5 server work just fine, the problem is the server in the datacenter... for some reason I can connect vcenter to that host and it will only stay connected for 30-45 seconds... 60 seconds tops! I had it connected one time long enough to get it added to the cluster and upload the license and 10 seconds later it dropped.
From the same Vcenter server I can connect to the host in the datacenter with the standard VIX client directly and it will stay connected until I disconnect it (days at a time)
Just for testing I created a VM on the host in the datacenter and installed Vcenter on that VM. It stays connected as it should so that leads me to believe there is some kind of issue with Vcenter not wanting to stay connected to a host over the internet? (doesn't make sense because the esx 3.5 host works just fine over the internet and it has not lost connection since the beginning) Maybe a firewall issue? But if it were a firewall issue wouldn't the Vcenter never be able to connect at all?
This is not just a host issue or problem with 4.1 because I had 3.0 esx installed in the datacenter until last weekend when we upgraded and the 3.0 host had the same exact issue for over a year.
Any assistance anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
I'm rather convinced this is a firewall issue.
There are a lot of ports required to be open in both directions for full connectivity. It could be that the management ports 902 and 903 are open TO the ESX box, but not from the ESX box back to vCenter. I had similar issues that you describe and it turned out to be inadequete networking communication, namely the correct ports were not open and therefore the heartbeat was not working. So the box could be added to vCenter, but soon after it would disconnect.
One way to test this before making changes to your networking abd firewall rules would be to modify your heartbeat value and see if this impacts the environment. Also if you have a firewall enabled on the vCenter server, disable it for testing purposes.
What you are saying makes sense but just to test I added an any/any rule to my subnet here at the office from any ip in the block at the colo and it doesnt appear that anything even tried to connect let alone got blocked. So I am not sure that the firewall issue makes sense unless I can see some kind of traffic trying to at least hit my side...
Any other ideas?
This may help:
When you say this hosts is in a datacenter, what do you actually mean? Is this an offsite hosted solution?
Is this host in a cluster or standalone configuration?
If the virtual machines are working just fine, but you can't manage the box then that points to an issue with networking at the management layer, which can be in the form of;
1) DNS issues.
2) Loopback incorrectly set, for example; the hostname is host2.domain.com but in some of the config files on the console it is set to something else like host3.domain.com
3) Firewalls; Turn off the firewall on the vCenter server and allow an any/any rule for host to vCenter communications. If your box is at a hosting facility, then chances are you will need to ask your hosting facility to add 80, 443, 902 and 903 to your allowed communications.

The fluorogenic sulfhydryl probe 7-diethylamino-3-(4′-maleimidylphenyl)-4-methylcoumarin (CPM) (1-50 nM) is used to characterize the functional role and location of highly reactive thiol groups on the ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ release channel complex [i.e., ryanodine receptors (RyRs)] of skeletal and cardiac junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). The kinetics of forming fluorescent CPM adducts with junctional but not longitudinal SR membrane proteins (0.02-1 pmol of CPM/μg of SR protein) are found to be markedly dependent on the presence of physiological and pharmacological modulators of the RyR Ca2+ channel. RyR agonists, micromolar Ca2+, and nanomolar ryanodine promote a slow SR thiol-CPM reaction, with an apparent rate constant k of 0.0021 ± 0.0002 sec-1, and >89% of the fluorescence is associated with the 110-kDa Ca2+ pump, which constitutes 68% of the protein in the SR preparations. However, in the presence of Ca2+ channel antagonists (millimolar Mg2+, millimolar Ca2+, or micromolar ryanodine), CPM rapidly forms adducts with a single class of highly reactive (hyperreactive) SR thiols (k = 0.025 ± 0.002 sec-1). Nonreducing sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of CPM-labeled SR protein and Western blot analyses with antiryanodine or antitriadin antibodies reveal that the hyperreactive thiols labeled by CPM under conditions favoring channel closure are localized principally to the RyR protomer and triadin, which constitute <6% of the protein in the SR preparation, Immunoprecipitation experiments with antiryanodine and antitriadin monoclonal antibodies confirm the location of CPM-labeled thiol groups on RyR and triadin, respectively. The results indicate that the RyR and triadin contain a small number of highly reactive cysteine residues that selectively conjugate with CPM only when channel closure is favored. It is shown that either 1) the redox state (sulfhydryl/disulfide status) or 2) the accessibility of the hyperreactive thiols on the RyR and triadin is determined by the conformational state of the channel. Covalent modification of hyperreactive thiols with nanomolar CPM inhibits both Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release and the gating activity of single channels reconstituted in bilayers, revealing the essential functional importance of hyperreactive thiols on channel-associated proteins. 1,4-Naphthoquinone (0.4-40 pmol/μg of protein) selectively oxidizes hyperreactive thiols on RyR and triadin and releases Ca2+ from SR vesicles, without inhibiting Ca2+-ATPase activity. The results provide direct evidence of the existence and functional role of hyperreactive cysteine residues on the RyR and triadin in regulating the gating of ryanodinesensitive intracellular Ca2+ channels and strongly suggest that these important Ca2+ regulatory channels may be an important target for oxidative cell damage mediated by quinones.

text: The mechanism by which photoreceptor cells in the eyes of higher animals absorb light, giving rise to receptor potentials that initiate the visual process, is a subject of active research in biophysics today. The pace of this research and its multidisciplinary nature have made it difficult for the nonexpert to keep abreast of new discoveries. This book aims to provide a more coherent, compact summary of our knowledge about the field that has been available, serving as an up-to-date introduction to the role of photoreceptors in vision. The book is a self-contained, concise handbook for the reader who has at least a college level knowledge if cell biology, biochemistry, physical chemistry, neurobiology and physics. The authors describe the physical parameters of light and proceed to describe the mechanisms by which photoreceptors extract information about each parameter. The discussion of mechanisms is organized by discipline, following the general sequence of cellular morphology, visual pigment chemistery, and receptor physiology. Photoreceptors: their role in vision is an integrated sourcebook which will serve the novice as a 'stepping stone' to the vast and exciting scientific literature of the field.
