Robar Unity Tactical Atom Adaptor Aclean sight installation is always eye-catching and Robar’s melding of the Unity Tactical ATOM Adaptor (made exclusively for Robar to a 1911 slide) is simply beautifully done. While adapting red dot micro sights to semi-autos has been around for some time, the sights and mounts are only just now getting to the point it makes solid sense. At least to me. In this case, Robar’s combination of the Trijicon RM06 RMR (Ruggedized Miniature Reflex) sight with the ATOM Adaptor has created a bullet-proof combo that can actually withstand combat conditions. In a police duty holster or a soldier’s gunbelt, this tough-as-nails duo is nearly impervious to anything tossed at it. Robar’s attention to detail and gunsmithing skill means the installation is clean, reliable and trustworthy. As you read this, it’s available on your own slide, with prices corresponding to standard shop set-up labor due to the differences in 1911 slide specs. In the future, they may offer a slide already outfitted with the adaptor, however the slide would need to be fitted to your existing frame. Or hey … you could simply have Robar build you a new gun based on the modified slide! As a die-hard iron sight guy, I always look at this sort of thing with a wary eye. But this combination of “toughest in the class” dot sight with this innovative mounting system, all put together by the industry leaders at Robar caused me to rethink this whole technology upgrade. Maybe you should too. For more info: http://americanhandgunner.com/company/robar-companies-inc (623) 581-2648. By Roy Huntington

Is Dallas a good food town? A debate that has been waged across dinner tables and blog comment sections. No matter which side of the fence you fall on, ask yourself this question: how was the debate framed? Most likely, you discussed restaurants. Is our BBQ as good as the Hill Country? Is our Italian up to snuff? Is our sushi really as good as NYC and LA? All valid questions. But restaurants alone do not a food culture make! Markets are an integral part of any food culture. And guess what – Dallas has fantastic independent markets in every part of the city. This is not meant as an indictment of the “gourmet” grocery stores that have sprung up across the Metroplex. They do offer some combination of convenience and quality. But they can’t replicate a market. Let’s put it this way: My market, TJ’s Fresh Seafood Market, has been in business 22 years, most of it next to Whole Foods. Clearly someone thinks there is a difference between a grocery store and a market! So what is the difference ? Markets are small businesses which can’t deal with turnover like big corporations. Many of Dallas’ markets have had the same core staff working for years. My first job was at Kuby’s 15 years ago. I still see the same faces when I walk in today. You think there is a jagwurst question they haven’t been asked? Market staffs are experienced and knowledgable. It’s “Farm To Table,” not “Farm To Central Distribution Warehouse To Table” Grocery stores tend to order in large quantities. Product often go to a distribution center and then are shipped out to individual stores. Markets tend to order in small quantities right to their location. Produce, meat, dairy…it’s almost always going to be fresher in a market. Where Everybody Knows Your Name It’s damned hard for an independent market today! So you should get fantastic personal service – or the market will be out of business. Become a regular and they’ll probably remember your name. They’ll remember your favorite items, email you when something you like (or they think you’d like) comes in. Walk into Veritas Wine Room a few times and they’ll remember your name – even when you can’t. If You Seek Unique… Try finding Miso Happy Chocolate with red miso, tahini and black sesame anywhere but Dude, Sweet Chocolate. Thumann’s natural casing hot dogs anywhere but Hirsch’s Specialty Meats & Sausages. Pastosa Fresh Pasta (flown in from Brooklyn) anywhere but Jimmy’s Food Store. Pure Ground’s Fresh Chevre anywhere but Scardellos? Support our local markets. It’s fun, its old school, its hip, it’s fresh and chances are you might find a new favorite food…or make a new friend who will feed you really well. Jon Alexis is the owner of TJ’s Fresh Seafood Market and one of the very few fishmongers in Dallas. He is also a regular contributer to craveDFW.

The Baby Birds and Bees A recent article by Associated Press stated that a certain King Middle School in Portland, Maine decided to make birth control pills available for its students. That’s right, Middle School. The Apostolate of Being Words are not enough. In order to live sanctity we need living models. For that reason, God the Father sent us his son, Jesus. He also invites us to mirror Christ. Indeed, the greatest apostolate is to embody Jesus Christ as perfectly as possible. More than I Want to Know If we were to listen to what goes on in the locker room at halftime of a NBA game, either television folks would have to do a lot of bleeping or we would have to develop a new tolerance for profanity. Surely, neither would make the game more enjoyable. Immaculate Conception Young girl of faith from Galilee: so human, so prone to motherhood, craving life, yearning Yahweh to see a world more softened. Marian Strategy Apostolic mission: the role of the Rosary prayer when pursuing holiness. And Now, a Word from Whose Sponsors? “Appropriate” is a word that has fallen out of use – and application. Advertisers and television networks ought to exercise a little judgment about what is proper to show. The Vocation of Mary This is a festival of the mother of God whose skin is brown, red, and yellow as well as white. This is also a day to celebrate the diversity that God, the Creator has gifted us with. A Contemporary Christmas Carol Each one of us has this time of Christmas to discover someone in need, someone who is sad, someone who is looking for Christ. And so often we learn that we really don’t have to look that far.

It’s a standard piece of cynicism that the addition of a qualifier to a field of study means that said study ends up not being in that field at all. “Social justice” is, for example, quite divorced from the usual standards of “justice”, “social sciences” are not known for their adherence to the strictures of “science”. And it appears that we need to add another to our list, “educational” economics seems not to be about economics. The background is that in Australia there’s a debate about what interest rate ought to be charged to students on the loans they take out to go to university. One “educational” economist has insisted that the idea of fixing that interest rate to that on government bonds will lead to poorer earners paying much more over the life of their loans than those with higher incomes. Something that’s entirely true by the way, as higher earners will pay off the loans more swiftly. But to look at such loans purely on the interest to be paid might be an accounting exercise, might even be a useful banking exercise, but it’s not obviously an economic report. The federal government is expected to ditch one of its most controversial budget measures – the plan to apply real interest rate to student debts – following advice from the architect of the HECS repayment scheme that it is unfair to poor graduates. Detailed modelling by leading education economist Bruce Chapman has found poor graduates could pay 30 per cent more for a degree than their high-income counterparts if the government indexes student debts at the government bond rate rather than inflation. In more detail: Professor Chapman’s modelling found low-income graduates (those in the bottom 30 per cent of earners) would amass total repayments of $105,000 from a starting debt of $60,000 under the government’s plan. By contrast, high-income graduates (those in the top 25 per cent of earners) would pay only $75,000 in total repayments on the same debt – $30,000 less than low-income earners. Graduates on a median salary would pay around $82,000 in repayments on the same starting debt. All of that is entirely true: simply because repayments are linked to earnings. The more you earn the more you pay back of the debt each month or year and thus the faster you pay off the outstanding principal. And it’s hardly a surprise that the longer you borrow money for the more interest you pay: no one at all complains that we pay more interest on a 30 year mortgage than we do on a 15 year one. But this is an accounting or possibly even a banking treatment of the question, not an economic one, for it manages to miss two highly relevant economic points. The first being that this idea that we want people to go to university is that they will become more productive as a result of going to university. If people take out a loan to become mining engineers and then go and make $200,000 a year in the mines then we think that’s great. Value is being added in the form of human capital and the whole society becomes richer. But if someone takes out $60,000 in loans to then go and become a diversity adviser earning a very much smaller sum then it’s not at all obvious that this is a good deal for society. Has enough value been added to cover that capital investment? And of course it is exactly this difficulty in the valuation of different degrees which leads to the idea that students should borrow themselves for their education rather than taxpayers paying for it all. Put the decision about whether going to university or not, also the one of what to study, into the hands of the person who both gains the benefits and also has to carry the costs. Which leads to us being quite happy with the idea that the costs to do a course that leads to a low productivity career are higher than the costs of doing something more productive. For recall, the more productive all of our fellows are the richer we all are collectively. That’s actually the argument in favour of having an education system at all. Which is our first economics point: we like a system that encourages people to decide upon high productivity courses and careers rather than low productivity ones. The second economic point is that there’s a great gaping hole in the analysis. That hole being “tax”. The point being that Australia has a progressive income tax system. Someone in the top 25% of the income distribution, that person who pays off that student loan faster and thus pays less interest, is going to be paying income tax at a marginal rate of 37 to 45%. That person who is in that bottom 30% of earners will be paying that same tax at marginal rates of nothing through 19% to 32.5%. So because we’ve already got a progressive income tax system we’ve already dealt with the idea that the rich pay more. We don’t thus need to be adjusting interest rates on loans: we’ve already dealt with that inherent unfairness of some people being able to earn more money than others. All of which is where this distinction between “educational” economics and economics itself seems to come in. As Bastiat told us, the point of economics, even of an economist, is to look at the things that are hidden. And it’s not as if the existence of the income tax system should come as a surprise to anyone. But apparently it does if someone looks at the system of financing university education and manages to entirely overlook this salient point, that the country already has a progressive income tax system.

The time has come to draw a line in the sand on extreme poverty. We have the resources and the will. What we no longer have is any excuse for inaction. On August 15, I signed into law House Bill 4369, which establishes the Commission on the Elimination of Poverty in the state of Illinois. The stated goal of the new body is to create a plan to cut extreme poverty in Illinois in half by the year 2015. By combining achievable goals with a comprehensive approach to poverty, I believe this Commission can move Illinois even further into the forefront in the national movement against poverty, and establish Illinois as the model state for others to emulate. The Commission will focus on those who live in extreme poverty, defined as 50 percent of the federal poverty line, or an income of merely $11,000 per year for a family of four. According to the Heartland Alliance for Human Needs and Human Rights, 700,000 Illinoisans live in extreme poverty, 150,000 of whom are aged 12-24. Confronting extreme poverty demands more than making up for an unacceptable shortfall in the means required to achieve a reasonable standard of living. It also means we need to stand with those children and young adults whose fragile futures we have the power to shape. To provide opportunities for these families to work themselves out of poverty is both to help provide them what they need stay alive today as well as to provide them with the tools and opportunities to thrive tomorrow. Every person has a right to a safe place to live, adequate healthcare, food, and decent educational and employment opportunities. Because a quality life has so many dimensions, we have structured our new Commission to focus on eight key areas: - Affordable housing - Food and nutrition - Affordable and quality health care - Equal access to quality education - Dependable and affordable transportation - Quality and affordable child care - Opportunities to engage in sustainable work that pays a living wage - Availability of adequate income supports We already know that you can’t just give people a hand-out and expect them to succeed. These eight areas acknowledge that we need to cover people’s basic needs and, at the same time, that we can never make serious inroads into poverty until we open up to everyone the tried and tested pathways to success. A deeper look at rising poverty levels in Illinois shows why we need to take a broader approach: in the last 10 years, low-income students have risen from 36.3 percent to 40.9 percent of the total enrollment and this year alone has witnessed a 4 percent increase in the number of households that receive Food Stamps. These are problems we can conquer, but only if take into account – and address – the many factors of poverty. One reason we are creating this Commission is to ensure that the Illinois has a long-term plan. The political will exists to do something about poverty and so it is equally important to develop an approach that can garner support from both sides of the aisle. When everyone can agree that we must act to reduce poverty, there is no time to let politics overwhelm initiative. This bill, which passed unanimously in both the Illinois House and Senate, mandates that the Commission represent all points of view. I will appoint five members, the Lieutenant Governor will appoint one, and then the House Majority and Minority Leaders and the Senate Majority and Minority Leaders will appoint five each for a total of 26. This gives us confidence that when the Commission does develop a plan, it will be one that all of Illinois can get behind. We have allowed extreme poverty to persist for far too long. I am proud to say that the creation of this Commission is an important first step in remedying that inaction. We have now made a firm commitment to identifying and implementing policies that will greatly reduce the number of Illinoisans living in poverty. I hope that we can inspire other states and communities to follow suit, and pledge to dramatically reduce poverty in the coming years. These goals are not always easy, but they are within reach. It will require hard work and determination to halve the number of people living in extreme poverty by 2015. Yet it is a deadline that all Illinoisans can now await with optimism and hope. Viewpoints in this section solely represent the authors’ opinions and not the opinions of "Spotlight on Poverty and Opportunity."

Ultracapacitors: the future of electric cars or the 'cold fusion' of autovation? ZENN Motors says its electric car will cruise for 250 miles on a single five-minute charge. Skeptics cry shenanigans. Ian Clifford wants to start a global revolution by building a practical, everyday car with no gasoline engine, no batteries, and no emissions. While big Detroit automakers ponder a future plug-in car that goes 40 miles on a battery charge before its gas engine kicks in, Mr. Clifford's tiny ZENN Motor, a Toronto maker of low-speed electric cars, announced in March that it will build a new highway-speed (80 m.p.h.) model that goes 250 miles on a charge – and can recharge in just five minutes. Having no batteries, the new "cityZENN" model will use a breakthrough version of a common electrical storage device called an ultracapacitor to store power from a wall socket, the company says. Fuel costs to operate it would be about one-tenth of today's gas-powered vehicle. If that astounding claim is real (and there are many skeptics), it could revolutionize automotive travel by making all-electric cars competitive with gas-powered vehicles and easing the world's dependence on oil. "The big problem has always been the battery and its limits," says Clifford, ZENN's founder and CEO in a phone interview. "This new technology is a 180-degree shift that represents the end of fossil fuel as a transportation fuel." That's because the same ultracapacitor technology could be used across the grid to provide cheap electric storage for wind and solar power, he says. In turn, this process could power millions of ultracapacitor vehicles with no emissions at all. With the cars' fast-charge capability, recharging stations could pop up to help make even longer trips routine. Ultracapacitors – also called supercapacitors – are more powerful cousins of the basic capacitor. With activated carbon at their core to act as a sponge for electrons, ultracapacitors can absorb power – or send a charge – far faster than batteries. They are also far more durable. First used in the 1960s, ultracapacitors today are widely found in electronic devices such as computers. In cameras, they retract and expand zoom lens. Yet the power stored by today's ultracapacitors is still only about 5 percent as much as a modern lithium-ion battery, far too little to power a car by themselves. The reported breakthrough was made by ZENN's business partner EEStor, a Cedar Park, Texas, firm headed by respected computer industry veteran Richard Weir, who's named on the company's patent. The company is now nearing commercial production of its new "electrical energy storage unit" or EESU, Clifford says. But privately held EEStor has had little to say publicly or to the press – and that secretiveness has inspired incredulity among many debating the topic on Internet forums. But in a break with that tradition, Tom Weir, the company's vice president and general manager, responded to e-mailed questions. "EEStor's technology has the opportunity to touch every aspect of daily life from very big to very small devices," Mr. Weir writes. "We also see a whole new generation of products ... based around our technology." Added credibility arrived with the January announcement by Lockheed Martin, the big defense company, of an agreement to use EEStor technology for military and homeland security applications. It refers to the EEStor "ceramic battery" providing "10 times the energy density of lead-acid batteries at 1/10th the weight and volume." In 2005, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers sunk $3 million into EEStor. ZENN also invested $3 million and will get exclusive rights to retrofit vehicles with the system – and produce new mid-size cars using EESUs. According to EEStor's patent application, the breakthrough is based on a technically arduous process of purifying and fabricating units with barium titanate, a material known to retain vast amounts of power. "The main feature of the EESU is the charge and dis-charge at electric speed," Weir writes. "This is a key enabling factor for the advancement of the next generation of vehicles. Another feature is the amount of power the EESU can store. Lastly, the EESU is expected to be considered fully 'green.' " But some bloggers call the purported breakthrough pure hype, today's version of "cold fusion," the still-theoretical energy source announced in 1989. At least some analysts and researchers, though skeptical, seem reluctant to dismiss entirely the possibility that EEStor could be onto something significant. "I'm sure they do have a technology, but skepticism revolves around the fact that nobody knows much about it," says Anu Cherian, an analyst who tracks the $100 million global ultracapacitor market for Frost & Sullivan, a growth consulting company. "The ZENN car looks to be an exciting development. But there's a lot of hype in the market." Other ultracapacitor experts won't dismiss EEStor's claim despite technical challenges. "It would be unfair to make an analogy between what EEStor is doing and cold fusion," says Joel Schindall, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor who is using nanotechnology to improve ultracapacitors. "I don't doubt that they have built a device on a small scale that does store the amounts of energy they are talking about. I just don't know if they can manage the process of scaling it up ... for commercial applications." Dr. Schindall and his colleagues hope soon to demonstrate a fivefold boost in ultracapacitor energy storage to up to 25 percent of the energy storage capacity of a lithium battery – and someday up to 50 percent – using a different approach to the problem. Such significant advances would make ultracapacitors viable in vehicles, though they still fall far short of Clifford's claims about EESU. Making commercial quantities of EESUs could prove challenging since even tiny impurities and defects in manufacturing could result in "a violent discharge," Schindall notes. Safety is a huge issue for energy storage in vehicles whether powered by gasoline, ethanol, hydrogen, batteries – or ultracapacitors. High-capacity lithium-ion battery research for cars, for instance, is focused on ensuring those devices don't burst into flames. EEStor has ensured that its new ultracapacitor will be safe if damaged in a crash by "instantly discharging to ground," Clifford says. Skeptics don't bother him, he says, because "we've seen this product with our own eyes." "We've had a great 100-year run with petroleum," Clifford says. "But the time has come for all of us to come to our senses now and realize that the electric-powered era for cars has finally arrived." Comments from EEStor Much of the rampant skepticism on the Internet over whether or not EEStor has had a breakthrough in automotive propulsion stems from the company's reticence to speak or to demonstrate its product publicly. Only a handful of press releases have been issued since the company was formed, and press reports have rarely included any direct quotes from company managers. Below are comments from a Monitor e-mail interview with Tom Weir, vice president and general manager, EEStor, Inc. Can you offer an idea of what your product could do for automotive transportation and a time horizon for development? "We see our Electrical Energy Storage Unit, 'EESU,' enabling the next generation of electric vehicles. The main feature of the EESU is [its ability to] charge and dis-charge at electric speed. This is a key enabling factor for the advancement of the next generation of vehicles. Another feature is the amount of power the EESU can store. Lastly, the EESU is expected to be considered fully 'green.' " Some have suggested that ultracapacitors will play more of a supporting role – others that it's a "game changer," or even world changing. How would you describe the potential? "EEStor's technology has the opportunity to touch every aspect of daily life from very big to very small devices. We also see a whole new generation of products and services that [are] based around our technology." How would you characterize EEStor's contribution to developing new systems to transmit the energy for automotive propulsion? EEStor has announced passing an evaluation on purity of its production process. Explain why this is important. "To be discussed in the near future." Why has EEStor been so quiet, some say secretive, about what it is doing? "We talk about our achievements through press releases. We talk with our current customers almost daily. We will also talk about more things when the time is right." Do you see any show stoppers, or is it just a matter of ramping up? "With any start-up you have some speed bumps that come up from time to time. We have no show stoppers." Competitors rev their engines At the North American International Auto Show in January, AFS Trinity created a stir by strutting its "extreme hybrid" plug-in concept vehicle that uses ultracapacitors to boost battery life and get 150 miles per gallon. The Bellevue, Wash.-based company sees ultracapacitors as a natural fit with new generation lithium-ion batteries that are vital to plug-in hybrids. Company chairman Edward Furia compares batteries to a long-distance runner (providing the stamina a car needs over the long haul) while ultracapacitors are akin to a weight lifter – giving cars that 0-to-60 oomph while minimizing impact on the delicate battery. As oil prices rise, new ultracapacitor research has emerged. Companies like Maxwell Technologies, Panasonic, Nippon Chemi-Con, and others are working on advanced devices with attributes of both an ultracapacitor and a battery, according to a November report from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). But the recent focus is only a continuation of a long-term fascination with ultracapacitors in automobiles. A small fleet of ultracapacitor-powered buses began running in Moscow in 1995, and some garbage trucks in the US now use ultracapacitors to efficiently absorb energy from braking – and discharge it for acceleration, the IEEE article notes. Honda's Dualnote concept car in 2002 also showed off ultracapacitors' ability to instantly absorb braking energy and then return it in acceleration. German automaker BMW is also said to be evaluating ultracapacitors in their hybrid vehicles.

SOASTA has announced the latest release of CloudTest with a new Java module to enable developers and testers of Java applications to test any Java component as they work to "easily scale" it. Direct-to-database testing here supports Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and PostgreSQL databases — and this is important for end-to-end testing for enterprise developers. Also, additional in-memory processing enhancements make dashboard loading faster for in-test analytics. "As applications are developed, databases are often tested in isolation while being built. In response to a common enterprise customer request, CloudTest can be directed to execute SQL workloads directly to the database for performance testing and insert data into a database before a test or clean up after a test," said Tom Lounibos, SOASTA CEO. New CloudTest capabilities include Direct-to-Database testing. CloudTest users can now directly test the scalability of the most popular enterprise and open source SQL databases from Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and PostgreSQL. With the new custom Java module, anything that can be done in Java can be tested at scale with CloudTest, such as testing streaming video as well as popular protocols like WebSocket and UDP. "Users can now use test creation shortcuts such as recording directly to executable test clips and easily share test assets and components. Leveraging platform enhancements to CloudTest's in-memory analytics engine, users will experience improvements in the seamless visual reporting during tests and how quickly tests load for execution," said the company.

Snuck back into the Village to look around... Posted 31 October 2012 - 08:54 AM Posted 31 October 2012 - 09:43 AM I like bagpipes. My youngest has a CD of a particular psuedo-celtic band that he enjoys. They perform a kind of extreme bagpipe sound. Hell, just give me some AC/DC. Posted 31 October 2012 - 10:54 AM Posted 31 October 2012 - 11:13 AM Posted 31 October 2012 - 01:12 PM Posted 31 October 2012 - 02:12 PM I've been in love with the sounds of bagpipes ever since I was a little boy - I remember that I'd heard them being played off in the distance, and I asked my mother what that sound was. Since then, they always "get me". For example, I still can't listen to "Mull of Kintyre" (by Wings) without getting misty-eyed. Posted 31 October 2012 - 02:33 PM A friend's son used to play the pipes for his high school. On the side he performed at a small town shopping area and at the Renaissance Festival near here. 0 user(s) are reading this topic 0 members, 0 guests, 0 anonymous users

Wrapping Up A Drama-Filled Weekend In a way, I almost enjoy coming to qualifying weekend more than the race…almost. There are so many storylines and subplots that develop throughout the weekend that come to a head in the last thirty minutes on Sunday afternoon. This year was no different. The weather was certainly a factor, as it usually is. As it turned out, it just served to make things more interesting as it created a sense of urgency for several drivers – most notably, Danica Patrick. Say what you will about Ms. Patrick (I know I have), but she showed guts today. When, at one point, it looked like the rain may prevent her from even attempting a run to get into the field today, she was the first out when the track finally dried out. She responded by turning the fastest lap of the entire day and putting her car safely in the field. Paul Tracy turned in the fastest four-lap average of the day and put his WIX Filters Dallara on the inside of Row Nine. Ryan Briscoe also answered the bell by putting his car on the outside of the ninth row. Charlie Kimball also solidly joined his teammate, Graham Rahal, who qualified just before the big storm came earlier in the day. But the main story was brewing near the back of the field. I had an idea that there would be an Andretti Autosport driver to not make this field. What I did not expect was that two wouldn’t make it. I suspected that Mike Conway wouldn’t make the race, since he had been slow all month. What surprised me was that Ryan Hunter-Reay didn’t make it either. Marco Andretti was bumped by Alex Lloyd, but bumped his teammate, Hunter-Reay, to get back in. How does this happen? How does a team like Andretti Autosport allow themselves to have all four of their full-time drivers be shut out on the first day and then most of them hanging around the last row on the second day. This wasn’t as shocking as Marlboro Team Penske’s No-Show in 1995, but it was close. The others that ended the day on the outside looking in were Sebastian Saavedra, James Jakes, Ho-Pin Tung, Scott Speed and Rafa Matos. Most experts agreed that one full-time driver would be going home. I don’t think anyone saw three not making the field. This is certainly an intriguing grid. I think that there is now a good chance that the winning car may actually come from a non-Penske/Ganassi stable. I’m a Penske fan, but that could be good for driving fan interest in the sport. So let all the weeklong speculation begin. It’s going to be a fun week. * – Note: As soon as this post loads up, we are piling in the car and headed back to Nashville. I must be at work by 8:00 Monday morning. There will be no post here on Monday, but I’ll try to have something up here most days this week leading up to the race. Thanks for following us all weekend. – GP.

Barely known to me until I picked up a few of her CDs in NYC's Little Senegal a few weeks ago, Fatou Laobé is a huge star in Senegal, and a welcome addition to the Dakar Divas pantheon. Fatou got her start as a backup singer and dancer with musicians like Baaba Maal and Ousmane Hamady Diop, and has toured the world with Youssou N'dour and Abou Diouba. Striking out on her own in 2000, she released l'An 2000 with her group le Laobé Gui on N'dour's Jololi label. The recordings have followed fast and furious ever since. Her music is deeply rooted in the folklore of the Laobé, a subset of the Pulaar, or Fulani, people who are known for their craftsmanship. The six tunes on offer here are taken from three CDs: Hé Laobé Rewmi (Origines, 2004), Bara Mamadou Lamine (Ekla, 2008), and Keysi Bousso (Ekla, 2008). Enjoy!

View Full Version : A little sloop... 08-09-2011, 05:15 PM So; I have been playing with GIMP a little more and here is a little sloop I drew over the Week-End... It gave me the opportunity to play with shadows and light elements... 11-22-2011, 07:16 PM This looks great, but I have a question. It looks like you put stairs up to the helm, but shouldn't there then be a room for the captain under that area? Or did you intend for it to be a part of the storage area? I'd love this if it had the captain's quarters there. 12-02-2011, 11:24 PM A sloop typically has no raised deck aft. Remove the stair, move the helm forward a little and convert the aft 'deck' to a captain's cabin with a simple roof. As a 17th Century ship type, cannon on the main deck would be appropriate. 02-03-2012, 06:51 AM Thanks for the kind words and advices... Yeah, initially, the idea came from a campaign. I was attending my players to travel between island and just give it "they find a ship and island hop" in my script. Of course, as is typical with players, they spent the better part of two hours looking for exactly the right ship. Small, fast and nimble to escape troubles with a "trustworthy yet discrete captain". Then they went on to argue the price... By the end, the ship and crew had taken a bit of a personality and I decided to re-use it later and make them a plan... One of the reason I didn't put a proper captain's cabin is that I had originally improvised that the captain was sleeping in a tent raised at the aft, but yeah, it's probably a good idea to add a cabin now...

PLAINVIEW -- The U. S. Naval Academy Band will record "Oldest and Finest," a march composed by Dr. Gary Belshaw, Wayland Baptist University Assistant Professor of Piano Pedagogy. The recording of the march will be included in a planned 4 CD set commemorating the 150 th Anniversary of the Academy Band. Lieutenant Commander Donald H. Keller, leader of the U. S. Naval Academy Band, requested permission to use the piece. The march was composed during the summer of 2002. The idea for the march originated during a visit with members of the band after a performance of Belshaw's doctoral dissertation, "Wind Sculptures" for trombone and band. That performance in May 2002 featured Don Lucas, Professor of Trombone at Texas Tech University, and the U. S Naval Academy Band. "Some of the band members and I were dining after the performance, and they told me the band was coming up on its 150 th anniversary. The march is dedicated to the band in honor of its Sesquicentennial Anniversary," Belshaw said. "Writing a march is one of those wonderful challenges every composer must face at one point or another. And it was John Phillip Sousa who set the standard. He said that a march 'must be as free from padding as a marble statue.' That's a pretty tough standard. In literary terms, it means there can be no snow job." The U. S. Naval Academy Band premiered the march during its Gala 150 th Anniversary Concert on May 9, 2003. Belshaw was unable to attend the performance as he and the rest of the Wayland Music Department were preparing for a mission trip to Spain. During the trip, members of the Wayland Pioneer Band, International Choir and Wayland Singers performed three movements from "A España" by Belshaw. The three movements feature scripture verses in Spanish set to music. In addition to "Wind Sculptures" for trombone and band, and "Oldest and Finest," members of the U.S. Naval Academy Band's trombone quartet premiered yet another Belshaw composition, "At A Lake" for solo trombone and trombone quartet. The quartet was premiered at the convention of the Texas Bandmaster's Association in San Antonio during the summer of 2002. "It has been a real honor just to have my music played by such a distinguished group of professionals," Belshaw said. The Academy band provided Belshaw with a recording of the live performance of the march. "The recording of the march sounded amazing," he said. "The band plays with such incredible precision and skill, that I heard the best possible rendition of my music imaginable." Belshaw is in his fourth year at Wayland Baptist University. He received his Ph.D. in Fine Arts from Texas Tech University in August 2000. He teaches private and class piano, orchestration, piano pedagogy, and he accompanies both students and faculty in recital. He also teaches private piano through the University's Academy of Fine Arts.

TMZ has confirmed that Lindsay Lohan has checked herself into rehab. In a statement issued through her rep, Leslie Sloane Zelnik, Lindsay says "I have made a proactive decision to take care of my personal health. I appreciate your well wishes and ask that you please respect my privacy at this time." Lindsay's mom, Dina, revealed last month that Lindsay had been attending AA meetings. It's been a tumultuous few weeks for the "Mean Girls" star. Just two weeks ago, 20-year-old Lindsay underwent an operation to remove her appendix. 1/17/2007 8:26 PM PST BY TMZ STAFF Get TMZ Breaking News alerts to your inbox

The Witwatersrand gold rush of 1886 marked the start not only of a century of gold mining in Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni but also of massive transformations in the landscapes of these South African cities. Once natural grasslands, the Witwatersrand — Afrikaans for “the ridge of white waters” — rapidly became a region of bustling boomtowns. The Witwatersrand Basin was responsible for over 40 percent of total global gold production and continues to be a major producer of gold. Over the past century a range of factors — fluctuating international gold prices, changing demands for mining labor, the construction of infrastructure and the need to dispose of mining waste — has shaped the development of what is now the most urbanized province in South Africa. In particular, the 80-kilometer mining belt between the two cities is riddled by deep-shaft mines, where companies built an extensive network of underground tunnels and moved large amounts of earth to the surface. These operations have weakened geological strata, disrupted natural drainage patterns and altered ecological habitat. The original semi-arid grasslands ecology is now converted to an urban forest, and sediment from mining waste has blocked natural waterways, unexpectedly creating wetlands with rich bird habitat. Massive mine dumps, many upwards of 30 meters tall, have become landmarks of Johannesburg — or eGoli, “the place of gold,” in Zulu. In the 1970s the gold mines moved from Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni to the rural areas of the Witwatersrand, and informal settlements began to occupy the vacant mining lands in the heart of the city. The end of apartheid, in 1994, brought a large influx of rural residents — mostly blacks or foreign Africans — seeking opportunities in Johannesburg and joining family and friends in existing informal settlements along the mining belt. Currently 25 percent of the population in Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni live in informal settlements, and approximately a quarter of them — 400,000 people — are in the mining belt. The settlements range from 100 to 40,000 people, with the largest communities in Ekurhuleni, where the mining companies have expended fewer resources to police the land. Not surprisingly, the settlements face myriad obstacles. Local zoning laws prevent them from receiving municipal services such as water, electricity and sanitation. Having no secure right to the land, the settlers construct homes from scrap metal and found wood; and despite such resourcefulness, they’ve encountered degraded environmental conditions that seriously hampered efforts to improve living standards and achieve formal municipal status. Changing ownership structures and bankruptcies in the mining industries have made it difficult to determine who is responsible for the environmental remediation of the old mining land (despite strict environmental regulations). Shallowly undermined land — caused by underground mines close to the ground surface — makes it technically difficult to construct permanent buildings and basic infrastructure, while the fine dust from neighboring mine dumps poses health risks such as respiratory disease and cancer. To complicate the situation, new extraction technologies and rising gold prices are enabling the recovery of gold from mine dumps. Massive topographical and hydrological operations have been set in motion once again; the old mine dumps are disappearing, gold slurry and water are piped throughout the region and waste has been transferred to new “super dumps” on the periphery. Newly freed land is being redeveloped for light industry and recreation; yet the population of greater Johannesburg is projected to double over the next 20 years, creating a significant housing shortage. This has created tension over land; but it’s also led to unexpected partnerships between the mining companies and informal settlements. In January 2010 we traveled to Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni to study the rapidly changing mining belt. We visited eight informal settlements, numerous mine dumps, the nearly complete FIFA World Cup Stadium, gold processing plants, and even a defunct-mine-turned-theme-park called Gold Reef City. Through our discussions with informal settlers, non-profit organizations, government officials, academics, real estate developers, mining experts and mine operators, we uncovered a complex web of ecologies that will determine the future of the gold mining belt. Our investigation documents the relationships between the current mining operations, the infrastructure that supports them and the informal settlements that inhabit defunct mining sites. In this slideshow, we hope to show that these relationships open up possibilities for the rehabilitation of a post-gold industrial landscape into a socially, economically and environmentally productive urban environment.

Nyko's E3 lineup 7/10/2007 6:52:00 PM I'll be visiting Nyko this Thursday morning and here's what they are showing at this year's E3. The Intercooler is a staple of Nyko's lineup and they are showing one for the Wii. A Power Adapter for the Wii will also be shown but I can't comment on the product until I see it as I don't know what the benefit of this product will be. Zero Wireless comes to the PlayStation 3 with the PS3 Zero providing an alternative to Sony's wireless controller. The most unique product in their announcement though is the Party Station featuring an LCD scoreboard, a fan to cool off hands, slots to hold Wii remotes and SD cards, and even a snack and dip bowl. This I have to see. Look for a lot of these products in the Fall. NYKO ANNOUNCES PRODUCT LINEUP FOR E3 2007 New Products For Wii, 360, PS3, and DS Lite Headed to Retail This Fall Los Angeles, CA - June 10, 2007 - Nyko Technologies(R), a premier peripherals manufacturer, today announced their product lineup for the 2007 E3 Media and Business Summit in Santa Monica, California. The lineup includes new products for the Nintendo Wii(tm) , PlayStation 3(tm), and the Nintendo DS Lite(tm), including a new version of the popular Intercooler for the Wii, as well as all-new products such as the Zero for PS3 and Party Station for Wii. All products are currently slated to ship to retail in Fall of 2007. The Intercooler for Wii is the next installment in Nyko's popular line of console cooling solutions. The unit attaches easily to the back of the Wii, ensuring a perfect fit and cooler ambient temperature levels, thanks to a built-in fan that increases airflow circulation out from the unit's main ventilation slot. For added convenience, the Intercooler also powers on and off with the console itself, as well as features a white finish that matches the original color scheme of the Wii. For the ultimate in Wii party experiences, Nyko's introduces The Party Station. Combining multiplayer conveniences with food and drink storage, the Party Station is one of the most unique Wii products, but also one of the most useful. Multiple LCD scoreboards allows gamers to keep track of multiplayer face-offs, while the Party Station's built-in fan keeps hands cool during the most heated of tournaments. When it's time to eat, the Party Station's built-in snack and dip bowls keep the food coming, while drinks stay upright in four cup holders, including four supplied freezable cup sleeves to keep them chilled. Storage is also made simple with four slots to hold Wii remotes and a drawer to store accessories like SD cards and manuals. The Party Station is designed to maximize the social gaming experience unique to the Wii. The Power Adapter for Wii provides gamers with a simple solution for powering their Wii console. The Power Adapter plugs into any standard wall outlet, and also features a built-in LED to indicate when the unit is connected to AC power as well as a visual modeling that compliments the Wii console. All three new Nyko products for the Wii will ship in the Fall of 2007. For the ultimate solution in PS3 gaming, the Zero Wireless Controller is the final word in wireless and convenient controller options. Continuing the popularity of Nyko's Zero controller line, the PS3 Zero features a unique metal polymer hybrid design putting the most advanced controller into the hands of PS3 gamers. Able to provide up to 25 hours of continuous play with the included removable and rechargeable NiMH battery, the Zero also features a revolutionary wireless chipset that provides a reliable and accurate range of up to 30 feet as well as backlit LED buttons and precision analog sticks, buttons, and triggers for maximum durability. The controller is also equipped with a precise accelerometer that detects six different directions of motion for the most accurate game play experience. The Zero Wireless Controller is available in three distinct color schemes to match the tastes of any gamer. DS Lite gamers needing a convenient carrying and charging solution for their portable handheld need look no further than Nyko's Ultimate Kit Lite. The bundle comes in multiple color designs, and each includes a stylish, protective carrying case, matching car charger and DS styli. A supplied carabineer allows the carrying case to be attached to a backpack or belt, while convenient pockets on the case allow for the storage of up to eight DS game cards. The Zero Wireless Controller, and Ultimate Kit Lite will ship to retailers in August of 2007. "At this year's E3 Media and Business Summit Nyko will unveil a number of new and exciting products, each developed to provide gamers with the most advanced gaming solutions available," said Herschel Naghi, CEO of Nyko Technologies. "From the Party Station and its unique social-focused features to the Zero and its wireless technology, Nyko's E3 lineup promises to be our most exciting yet."

"Republicans Held Disaster Relief Hostage Several Times In 2011" Tropical Storm Issac continues to bear down on the Gulf Coast on Monday, with the National Hurricane Center predicting that it will become a Category 1 hurricane before it makes landfall. There’s a chance that the storm will hit New Orleans nearly seven years to the day that Hurricane Katrina decimated the city. Republicans have largely canceled the first day of the Republican National Convention in Tampa Bay, Florida, due to the storm, which swiped southern Florida yesterday. But in 2011, House Republicans displayed far less concern for the victims of natural disasters, attempting to slash funds for disaster preparedness and response, as Slate’s Dave Weigel noted at the time: According to the House Appropriation Committee’s summary of the bill, the [GOP’s 2011 continuing resolution] funds Operations, Research and Facilities for the National Oceanic Atmospheric Association with $454.3 million less than it got in FY2010; this represents a $450.3 million cut from what the president’s never-passed FY2011 budget was requesting. The National Weather Service, of course, is part of NOAA — its funding drops by $126 million. The CR also reduces funding for FEMA management by $24.3 million off of the FY2010 budget, and reduces that appropriation by $783.3 million for FEMA state and local programs. House Republicans several times that year held disaster relief hostage, demanding that the funding be offset with spending cuts elsewhere in the budget. The GOP pulled the same trick when Missouri was hit by a deadly tornado in May, when Virginia was affected by an earthquake, and when Hurricane Irene struck America’s east coast. Republicans eventually struck a deal with Democrats as part of last August’s Budget Control Act that should make it easier to fund disaster relief. However, the House Republican budget reneged on that agreement, setting the stage for more disaster relief shenanigans when the country can least afford political games.

Tuscaloosa man faces sexual assault charges for second time this year Published: Friday, November 1, 2013 at 8:00 p.m. Last Modified: Friday, November 1, 2013 at 1:35 p.m. A Tuscaloosa man has been accused of sexually assaulting a teenager in Tuscaloosa last week. It is his second arrest on identical charges this year. Khiyron Montel Amerson, 21, was charged Thursday with second- degree rape and second-degree sodomy against a 15-year-old female victim. He was charged with second- degree rape and second-degree sodomy against a 14-year-old female victim on March 21. That case is still pending in Tuscaloosa County District Court. Amerson remained in the Tuscaloosa County Jail Friday with bail set at $60,000.

This is an article I found interesting on the Gizmodo website, by Andrew Tarantola. Head on over to their website, for a daily read! Six Ways Autodesk Reshaped The World Andrew Tarantola Yesterday 7:30 AM After three decades on the market, Autodesk’s software has radically transformed modern architecture, science, and art. In downtown San Francisco, Autodesk exhibits a rotating 20-item gallery showing 20 of its most impressive design feats. On a recent tour, Gizmodo saw the stunning range of the program’s capabilities. Engineers use it to plan the most the world’s major buildings, and scientists use it to make scale models of molecules. For an artist, it’s a way to finally design a giant dinosaur made of Lego. Here’s a look at a few highlights of the Autodesk Gallery at One Market Street, where tours start every Wednesday at 12:30pm. There isn’t an instruction booklet big enough to explain how to turn a pile of 62,500 LEGO blocks into an 2.6m tall dinosaur sculpture. Instead, Lego combined its Digital Designer software with AutoCAD to develop and test 3D models of the lambeosaurus. The company ensured its structural stability, then starting popping together the pieces. When it’s completed in 2014, the Shanghai Tower will be the largest building in all of China — a towering 128 stories tall. But at that height, the structure is subject to Shanghai’s famously tremendous winds that, if unchecked, could cause the tower to sway and potentially buckle. So, rather than build numerous small-scale models of the three potential designs and subject them to wind tunnel testing — a labour, cost, and time-intensive exercise — the team erected each in AutoCAD and virtually tested their wind resistance in a computational fluid dynamics model. This allowed the architects to reduce wind resistance in the tower’s final design by 24 per cent, before a physical model was ever made. The 1:85 scale model entered a wind tunnel test, validating the virtual results of the renderings. This 3D-printed 10,000,000:1 rendering of DNA-RNA transcription. They were created using accurate data, fed into AutoCAD, by scientific animation firm Xvivo. The new headquarters for the Masdar corporation, an energy company located in Abu Dhabi, is being heralded as a breakthrough in energy efficiency. To optimise the building’s design, the Masdar designers used AutoCAD software to configure everything — its orientation on the lot, the roof design, the shape of the solar panel array, and the shape of the cooling inlets located at the base of the main support columns. As a result, the Masdar building will consume 70 per cent less water than a similarly sized structure, and it will actually produce three per cent more energy than it consumes — making it the first positive energy building in the Middle East. When the new eastern span of the San Francisco Bay Bridge was in its design phase, sceptics worried that the world’s largest self-anchored suspension bridge, couldn’t handle the strain of morning commute traffic. To prove that the project could be accomplished, the California DoT created and disseminated realistic models of the proposed span and construction process. The idea was to gain public support and to plan how to minimize delays during lane closures. This technique was so successful that the DoT did the same for the recent Doyle Drive renovation. 3D Camera Booth Sure, you can scan physical objects into the virtual realm using laser range finders and such, but where is the fun in that? And what else are you going to use those three dozen spare cameras for? This device, designed and built by AutoDesk CEO Carl Bass, takes a series of photos of the subject, overlapping them slightly. This data is then fed into AutoCAD 123 Make where it is stitched together into a 3D model. Users can then export the model to a 3D printer or a CNC machine to cut the shapes from cardboard. Then it’s just a matter of assembly. The finished result: a bust of Carl’s kid complete with sound-activated light-up eyes.

The existing atmosphere surrounding the earth contains a little less than one percent of the inert gas Argon, an approximate total of 6.59 x 1019 grams. The isotope Argon-40 (40AR) is 99.6 percent of the total Argon. The only know source of 40Ar is the radioactive decay of Potassium-40 (40K), of which 11.2 percent decays into 40AR and the remainder into Calcium-40 (40CA). The lithosphere (outer layers) of the earth has been estimated to be 2.59 percent Potassium, of which about 0.01167 percent is 40K. An approximately total of 5 x 1021 grams of 40K in the earth of which 11.2 percent could eventually decay into 40Ar. 40K has a half life of 1.26 billion years (1.26 x 109). To generate the amount of 40Ar in the atmosphere would require in round numbers 250 million years. However the model of an 4.5 billion year old earth would estimate that around 90 percent of the 40K had decayed, so originally there could have been around 50 x 1021 grams which would decrease the generation time to about 25 million years. But 40Ar within the earth is only a small part of the story! Just because you have generated the required amount of 40AR due to decay within the earth does not mean that it will all appear in the atmosphere in a short time. Instead the majority will be trapped within the rocks of the earth until it can some how be released to the atmosphere by some type of volcanic event. When the rocks containing the 40Ar are heated to the molten state the gas will escape to the atmosphere except when it as at considerable depth and then the pressure will allow less of the gas to escape. Since there is at present relatively little volcanic action on the earth, in main that at the mid-ocean ridges and a few other isolated volcanic areas, 40Ar gas is released to the atmosphere at a very slow rate of approximately 2.2 x 109 grams per year. The figure below represents a plot of the rate of Argon release to the atmosphere, called outgassing, that has been proposed by one scientific study. from ref. http://www.geo.cornell.edu/geology/classes/ Geo656/00notes/656_00Lecture25.pdf These theories provide for a much faster outgassing rate and of course allows the present atmospheric Argon levels to be developed in 4.5 billion years since that is the age of the earth that many scientists propose. The plot of the 129Xe is of interest to us only because the study used the known decay rate of 129Iodine to 129Xe and the present atmospheric content of 129Xe to derive the proposed degassing rate. This is possible because 129Iodine has a short half life of 17 million years and today for all practical purposes no longer exists in the earth. Then using this information along with the known decay rate of 40Ar they were able to arrive at a proposed degassing rate with an initial "burp" of degassing with the early earth in a molten state. As the earth solidified the degassing rate then entered a second slower phase. The question is are their any other possibilities that would allow for the atmospheric Argon to be developed in a very short time, less than 10,000 years? a) Could the early earth have had a much higher level of 40K? To generate the required amount of 40AR in less than 10,000 years would require levels of 40K at over 10,000 times the present levels. And then the short time allowed for decay would result in better than 99.8 percent of these high levels remaining at present. Therefore this option can be ruled out! b) Possibly during the early stages of creation the decay mode was different and most all, or a very high percentage, of the 40K became 40AR. This could possibly provide up to about an eight fold acceleration in generation of Argon, but well short of the required 10,000 fold increase. c) Could the early earth being in a molten state allowed a very rapid outgassing rate, fast enough to allow the majority of the Argon to be generated on the first day? As mentioned there is an indication of an early "burp", but the time required for a considerable amount of 40Ar to be generated in the earth limits the magnitude of this initial outgassing phase. And also "And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." of Genesis 1:2 indicates a earth during day one that had a surface cool enough for liquid water to be present. So if the earth was initially in a molten state it could only be for part of day one. Thus requiring a very long day one or ruling out this proposal. d) Some have proposed that the impacts of gaseous comets provided the main source for the early earth atmosphere. The interpretation of the early Genesis record to require creation within 6 literal days would not allow time for these proposed turbulent conditions on the earth to settle down to a reasonable steady state following such catastrophic collisions. For this to have been the source of much of the early atmosphere would again require a long day one. e) Some have proposed a very rapid burst of radioactive decay at the beginning of creation, a condition that does not fit the laws of physics as we presently know them. Such a burst could only be present during day one and day two of the creation or it would seem to subject all of the early life forms to a greater than "Chernobyl" radioactive condition which would seem to be incompatible with the development of life. "That variations in the ratio of 129Xe to other Xe isotopes as observed suggests (1) the Earth formed shortly (within 170 Ma) after a nucleosynthetic event (probably a supernova), and (2) a substantial fractionation of I from Xe must have occurred early in Earth's history. So 129Xe variations provide clues to the early degassing history of the Earth." These conclusions are contrary to this proposal and is the best science available today. Scientists have experimented and theorized about some means of increasing the isotope decay rate, for to do so might be advantageous say in energy generation, but to date no such method or possible theory has been discovered. Conclusion: The total amount of 40Ar in the atmosphere today and the results of studying the concentrations of the other noble gas levels in the atmosphere and in the earth is another strong indicator of a old age earth.

Hi-Rez ‘Exploring’ Map Editor, Tools as Tribes: Ascend Updates Slow Official content updates for Hi-Rez Studios’ Tribes: Ascend might be all but ended, but it’s possible players will soon be able to take up the task of building new maps and other features where developers are leaving off. Hi-Rez co-founder Tod Harris said in an interview with Game Front that the developer is potentially exploring some elements community members have been clamoring for since Tribes: Ascend was first announced: a map editor and mod tools that would allow players to create their own content. “Really, the main community request we’re hearing, which was always a part of Tribes, is for some way for the community to create their own maps,” Harris said. “So, over the next six months, as far as what’s next for Tribes, that’s really the area we’re going to be exploring. We don’t really have any details on that, but that’s what we’re hearing mainly from the community. They’d like a way, independent of our own map schedule, which is obviously slowing down, to be able to update their own maps. We’re going to be exploring that.” “We’re looking to give users more flexibility rather than less. We’re just in the scoping process now. I don’t have any other specifics I can give other than the intent we’re going to support it.” Hi-Rez announced on Reddit earlier this week that its focus had shifted away from Tribes: Ascend, instead falling primarily on its upcoming MOBA, SMITE. It also said that game updates had been effectively suspended indefinitely: “There are no major dev updates planned for Tribes: Ascend in the next six months.” “For the next six months our primary development focus is SMITE. Beyond that it is GA2. And beyond that a TA2 would be more likely than a major update to TA; but to be clear no devs are currently working toward TA2.” “Per the development blog on our forums, the recent TA work has been Kate developing some additional maps. If time allows then these new TA maps (along with some bug-fixes) would be finalized and deployed but no committed date yet.” “We continue to support TA servers, online community events, tournaments with prizing, bringing Tribes to offline events like recent RTX and upcoming QuakeCon, and live-streaming.” Tribes: Ascend — which Game Front named one of our top games of 2012 — has only been officially released since April of that year. A free-to-play title, its business model relies on regular updates and players purchasing small bits of content in order to keep the game going. The focus away from development on Tribes: Ascend has raised questions about the title’s financial success. Mod tools and a map editor could potentially fill the gap regular content updates leave off, but Harris’ comments are by no means a guarantee, despite how excited players may be to have them. But it does seem there’s hope going forward for new Tribes: Ascend content, even if Hi-Rez isn’t producing it.

09.03.2012 03:27 PM Grass Valley—Graham Sharp, Senior Vice President, Corporate Development Q. What broad technology trends do you think will be front-and-center at IBC2012? I think a huge focus will be on multiplatform distribution. With the explosion in connected devices Broadcasters everywhere are trying to figure out how to serve and make additional revenues from these platforms without adding complexity, at a time when they are seeing reducing incomes as advertising revenues get spread across more channels and media outlets. At Grass Valley we believe that the technology is finally advanced enough to enable post production, production and distribution to merge into a single collaborative platform, providing multiple format outputs and increasing efficiency. We call it “Non-linear Content Production.” “Non-linear content production” will enable producers to create content once and distribute it across multiple platforms faster and more efficiently than ever before. Q. Any thoughts on how the current economic climate will affect the show? I think it will be a good show. As I mentioned earlier, the current economic climate is forcing broadcasters to look for solutions that create efficiencies and reduce costs, while at the same time offering the potential to serve new platforms and create new revenue streams. It is an exciting time; nonlinear production helps broadcasters solve these issues and with Grass Valleys’ years of experience in storage and IT infrastructure we believe we can help lead the industry into the Internet era. Q. What's new that you will show at IBC2012 and that broadcasters should look for there? We will be showcasing end-to-end workflows within the three segments we focus on: News, Live and Distribution, featuring a host of new products from cameras through to playout. In addition, we will be showing several new production tools including new versions of the K2 Dyno slow-motion controller and EDIUS, the industry’s fastest and most versatile editing platform. Grass Valley STRATUS, our media workflow application framework is a key component in each of these solutions and we will be showing a host of new features and tools as we continue the transition to end-to-end nonlinear file-based workflows. Q. How is your new product offering different from what's available on the market? Grass Valley is the only supplier that can offer complete workflow solutions from camera to playout, along with the services required to successfully install and maintain them. Besides our best-in-class switchers, servers and cameras, Grass Valley STRATUS is really setting the bar in terms of workflow management; and the K2 Dyno S replay controller is faster, more agile and has a smaller footprint than anything else currently on the market. And, did you know — EDIUS is the most-used broadcast news editor in the world? Q. Where are you based, and how many employees do you have? Anything else we should know about your company? Grass Valley is headquartered in San Francisco, Calif., and employs approximately 1,200 staff. For more than half a century Grass Valley has been the leader in broadcasting solutions, offering our customers the latest innovations and the best performance. Unmatched in the industry, our range of services and solutions leverage the economies of scale of the IT industry with our proprietary core knowledge of media processing and storage. Q. Last year I asked whether 3D was Hope, Hype or In Between. This year I want to know similar thoughts on ‘social media and broadcasters’. A key differentiator for broadcasters is going to be how they utilize the opportunities provided by social media. Using nonlinear production workflows provides broadcasters with the opportunity to easily insert the metadata that enables content to seamlessly integrate with social media. We are already seeing people posting comments about their favorite TV shows on Facebook and Twitter. The ability to create links to shows and additional content on social networking sites will eventually create lucrative, new advertising streams for broadcasters. Q. How many years have you been going to the IBC show and what's your fondest memory? What's your favourite restaurant or pub? Grass Valley has been exhibiting at IBC since the beginning and I personally have never missed a year, although with a couple of different companies. My fondest personal memory is from my years in a startup, where we had no money and a bunch of us stayed in an apartment and travelled around on cycles. It seemed less stressful than life in the big corporations! My favourite pub in the past was probably the Jolly Sailor. Now, it is De Wildeman, in the alley behind the Crown Plaza. It’s also across the road from rather a good Indian Restaurant.

The IRS wants to tax your illegal income As ridiculous as it sounds, the federal government requires that money acquired through illegal means be reported and taxed just like legitimate income. It’s right there on the official IRS tax instructions: “Income from illegal activities, such as money from dealing illegal drugs, must be included in your income on Form 1040, line 21, or on Schedule C or Schedule C-EZ (Form 1040) if from your self-employment activity.” Not surprisingly, tax experts say few criminals declare their loot. But some do, often when they’ve either been caught during that tax year or think they are about to be caught, says San Francisco tax attorney Stephen Moskowitz, who has helped several clients document their illegal gains. Their goal is to avoid getting charged twice: once for their initial crime, and again for evading the taxes on their windfall. After all, it was tax charges that ultimately put away Al Capone. Many of today’s criminals who choose to declare their illegal income are facing embezzlement charges, according to Moskowitz. Like Tom Hughes, a New England accountant who was caught — multiple times — stealing money from his clients. “I knew the money was taxable, there was no doubt about that,” says Hughes, who now runs an anti-fraud consultancy called Hire-a-thief. “I had already been caught, and I didn’t want to face federal tax charges.” He paid taxes on his illegal gains in 1999 and 2001, and again in 2004, after he stole from another client. After a nine-month prison stint, Hughes swears he’s now reformed. So how many self-confessed crooks does the Internal Revenue Service deal with each year? The agency isn’t saying. A spokesman declined to discuss the issue, saying only that declaring illegal income “is what the law requires.” Documenting illegal income is tricky, Moskowitz says. The IRS doesn’t require any details on the return beyond an approximation of how much you made. The hard part comes if you get audited. There’s usually no paper trail, so IRS agents will typically ask for the names and contact information for people that may have been part of the illegal transaction, Moskowitz says. The agency will then try to verify your numbers with them. If you tell the IRS you made $1 million from stealing money or dealing drugs, does the agency tip off the cops? Legally, it can’t, unless a law-enforcement agency gets a court order granting it access to a specific taxpayer’s return. The IRS isn’t supposed to proactively alert other agencies about misdeeds unless terrorism is involved. In that case, it still needs a court order to disclose anything, but the IRS can initiate the legal process on its own. The rules are all spelled out in an IRS guide to “section 6103,” the law that covers tax-return confidentiality. Like many legal statutes, it’s complex and filled with loopholes. For example, the IRS might not be allowed to share the contents of actual tax returns on its own initiative, but it can divulge supplemental information obtained from outside sources — like witnesses interviewed in an audit investigation — “to apprise federal criminal law enforcement agencies of possible crimes,” according to the agency’s guide. In practice, Moskowitz says he thinks information about illegal activities gets shared. “Do they report you to other agencies?” he asks. “Absolutely.” Other experts agree. “The IRS would most certainly immediately report it to law enforcement,” says Joseph Henchman, vice president of legal and state projects at the Tax Foundation, a think tank. The IRS’ spokesman declined to comment on the issue. Here’s one upshot to declaring ill-gotten gains: If taxes are paid on it initially, and restitution is part of any settlement or judgment, that restitution is then tax-deductible, says Moskowitz. If you decide to disclose your illegal loot, make sure to do it with the assistance of a tax attorney, not any old accountant. “If there’s anything we suspect is criminal, the first thing we do is tell people to get legal advice,” says Gil Charney, principal tax researcher at H&R Block’s Tax Institute. “We don’t have attorney-client privilege. If The IRS or any law enforcement agency contacts us, we have to provide that information.”

This is the Stapelia variegata (more correctly Orbea variegata) I got from Cactus Jungle earlier this summer. I'd said at the time that I didn't necessarily expect flowers ever, but I'd given it an outdoor spot, and we'd see what happened. Then at the beginning of September, I saw a couple buds: And then there was an agonizing couple weeks while I waited for them to develop enough to open and hoped that they wouldn't fall off. At some point during this wait, I noticed the plant had grown a lot in the three months it's been here. I hadn't realized how small it was to begin with. It also lost the red color it had when it arrived, as you can see. That was never very likely to last, considering how little light I can offer indoors, though I'm surprised that it couldn't keep the color on the west side of a house, outdoors, in a summer when it almost never rained. In any case, the flower finally opened on 18 September, and it was worth the wait: It's only about 2.5 in / 7 cm in diameter, much smaller than the S. gigantea flower. The smell was similar to S. gigantea: unpleasant, but not strong enough to be detectable outside a fairly small radius of the plant, though flies seemed to find it just fine. (In the ten minutes or so that I had it out in front of the house to get pictures, there were at least five flies buzzing around it. None ever actually landed on the flower while I was taking pictures, which is just as well for my purposes but makes me wonder whether the flower was perhaps not fully charged yet, or something. They may also have just been confused about the location: it was a windy morning.) As is customary with Stapelia blooms, I let Sheba sniff it for a while. She was very interested, and sniffed pretty long and hard, then pronounced it plodding and pedestrian, without the playful, impish notes of squirrel carrion or the complexity and layering of feces. She'd been more enthusiastic about the S. gigantea smell. This will probably be the last time I ask her for a stapeliad review. The back of the flower reminds me a bit of a hellebore: The plant has a good six or seven more buds on it. This is a little worrisome. One flower's smell isn't intolerable, but I don't know what two, or four, might be like. The most compelling reasons to allow multiple buds to open simultaneously would be for 1) pictures and 2) the opportunity to get some seed pods. As for the latter: a quick skim of this page, which goes into considerable botanical detail about how stapeliads are pollinated, only revealed that it's too complicated to figure out from a quick skim. We have a lot of houseflies that have been trying to take shelter in the house, as the days have gotten colder; I may just leave the matter in their capable

This would be a huge plotline for Keeping Up With The Kardashians for sweeps week if (1) the show's cameras were actually rolling during Kimye's wedding prep and (2) it weren't arguably too sad/dramatic for the show, for real. Rob Kardashian arrived at LAX airport this afternoon, having flown back from Europe, and missed his sister's wedding. TMZ says Rob booked his flight last night following some "major family drama," though it's unclear if this happened before or after Kimye's big party at the Palace of Versailles. (For what it's worth, there have yet to be any photos of Rob either at the event or going to/returning from it, despite a group shot of all his siblings with Lana Del Rey popping up.) TMZ also says Rob "was in tears while desperately trying to secure a seat," presumably not just because crying helps secure you a seat upgrade. (It doesn't; airlines are stone-cold.) So it's hard to believe that whatever unpleasantness went down wasn't bad enough that it could/would have cast at least a bit of a shadow over the day's happy proceedings for all involved, which is a real shame, however you feel about the family. But that didn't stop TMZ's people from badgering Rob once he arrived at LAX, and their post includes sad video footage of him trying to avoid the paparazzi's questions and, in particular, one photographer butchering the pronunciation of opera singer Andrea Bocelli's name.

The combination of watching TPM lately and rearranging my prequel trilogy display cabinet helped me to realize how we could really use new versions of the main characters from both TPM and AOTC. Maybe "vintage" isn't the right area for it, but if we can't get them in the basic line I hope that we see the Evolutions concept resurrected. Its been discussed before, but there are several figures that really could use new incarnations. The TPM figures seem pretty dated compared to the ROTS/TSC offerings, and many of the AOTC era figures are in the statue/non articulated style. Some I'd like to see re-done now, whatever line we can get them in: The Phantom Menace Qui-Gon Jinn - one of my favorite PT characters, and his figures really aren't too stellar. Give us one in the style of ROTS Pilot/TSC Obi-Wan Kenobi. Obi-Wan Kenobi - Again, his figures just look basic compared to what has been done in recent years. Ditto on the ROTS Pilot version, heck just sculpt a new head and they'd be pretty close. Padme Amidala - We can always use more Padmes, so basically take your pick here. A new, well articulated one would be welcome. Jar Jar Binks - This is one we probably won't see, and not that I'm a big fan of Binks either, but his figure(s) either look dated or really static. A new SA one wouldn't be so bad. Anakin Skywalker - Not sure if we need a new one or not, the first version really isn't too bad - just under articulated. We'd probably be surprised at how much better they could make one now though. Attack of the Clones Obi-Wan Kenobi - The Outlander Club one isn't too bad, but again, they could do one (maybe just a new head) in the style of the ROTS/TSC version and we'd be set. Mace Windu - Either movie really, but we still really haven't gotten a decent version of Mace. Padme - Again, tons of version to choose from. I wouldn't mind having a new SA version of the Arena Padme. The "Factory Chase" one isn't too bad, aside from the screaming face sculpt. Maybe a new head on that figure would go a ways. Jango Fett - One that's been mentioned a lot, but the versions we've gotten in the past aren't the greatest. My favorite is probably the "Kamino Escape" version, but it could really be improved on. Base it off the VOTC Boba Fett sculpt, and maybe retool/repaint a few things - or maybe an all new sculpt is needed. I'm pretty satisfied overall with the ROTS offerings. We've got a good Obi-Wan, the Evolutions Anakin is pretty nice (although it could have been in the basic line too), the Padme we got isn't bad (but we could always use more), and within the basic line and Evolutions sets we got nice versions of Dooku, Palpatine, clones, Jedi, etc. If anything, we could maybe use different versions of Palps that we haven't seen (or that could be improved on), more Padmes, and as always, more clones. As far as the other movies, Anakin might be decently covered through the Evolutions sets (aside from kiddo Anakin), and the Obi-Wans might be able to be done with just new heads on the ROTS/TSC figure. Anyways, this just came to mind again after re-arranging some of those prequel figures recently. I really hope we see all new sculpts for Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan (TPM/AOTC), Mace Windu, and Jango Fett if nothing else.

Hello! My name's Luise and I've been permaculturing for over two years now. I'm a PDC graduate, currently working on my diploma and turning my little garden into a permaculture paradise. I've been living in Germany and happily beekeeping there, using Warré's methods. Now I'm moving to VT and I'd love to get to know some natural beekeepers in VT or neighbouring states. Anyone out there? Have a great day! Luise Please move this topic if this part of the forum is not ideal for it - maybe beekeepers tend to mingle more in the critter care section? Joined: May 26, 2010 I'm not sure where in VT you'll be- but I keep bees in top bar hives here. Joined: Apr 19, 2011 Location: Wetern Central Vermont Totally check out Kirk Webster. Hes a bee keeping legend and is one of the chillest guys I have ever talked to about the subject (he came and gave a lecture to one of my classes at Green Mountain College). Also check out the Honey Gardens in Ferrisburgh. That guy applies his products in a therapeutic kind of way ( Im looking at a jar right now that says "apitherapy". Good luck and welcome to Vermont! Joined: Apr 07, 2011 Thank you so much, foundsailor! I just looked at Kirk Webster's webpage was immensely pleased and surprised to find that he is a treatment-free beekeeper. I don't treat my bees here and they are doing fine, but from what I read on the VT agriculture site it seemed like that would not be an option in VT. Now I'm inspired and looking forward to getting in touch with Kirk Webster!

View Full Version : Sox/Fans Article at muvillemagazine.com 10-01-2004, 08:21 PM Not to toot my own horn (okay, I'm tooting...), but there is a pretty good article about Sox fans by Peter Schilling, Jr. at mudvillemagazine.com: I'm quoted extensively both from a phone interview and through my "Natural Law" columns here. Also quoted are Scott Reifert of the Sox, Peter Elliot of Park Life fame, and Dr. David Fletcher of "Reinstate Buck Weaver" fame. Unfortunately, Schilling still doesn't quite get it. I think he'd rather have us be more "colorful" and believe in curses and fate and all of that utter BS. I guess that's easier to write about. Still, I think what he did quote should pretty much get the essence of what it means to be a Sox fan to those who might "get it." 10-01-2004, 08:56 PM One of the best articles I've seen about the subject of White Sox fans. It really got to the core of White Sox fans and you could take his description, compare it against the average Cubs fan and see a stark contrast which leads to the animosity. The article was probably aided by the fact its author was coming from a non-Chicago midwest prospective (Let's be honest with ourselves, most of Chicago stands in contrast to the midwest and in comparison with the more cosmopolitan New York, Boston, San Francisco, etc.). I highly recommend this article. 10-01-2004, 09:11 PM I know I'm in the minority here, but I do believe we are cursed. Okay, a long time ago our team was a juggernaut and destined to win it all. But fed up with their cheap boss, they conspired to lose on purpose for cash because they would make more money that way. They were caught and brought to trial in the single ugliest moment in baseball's history, and in the process nearly destroyed the game's integrity completely. All the players involved were banned for life and we haven't won a world series since. It's just a coinky-dink, right? I don't think so. The popular reason for our lack of winning is bad management, which we've had in spades. Sure, it all starts at the top. If you have an owner who won't spend money to improve the team or a stupid owner who tries and fails, you have no chance either way. But did you ever consider that having bad owners is part of the curse? Fate brought Reinsdorf and company to own this team. He was never a Sox fan...if he had his druthers, he'd probably be sipping piña coladas from a skybox at Chavez Ravine. But the Sox were up for the taking, so him and his boys took over. If you think about it WE are the only ones in baseball who've done anything truly worthy of an eternal curse. The cubs wouldn't let some hick bring his freakin' goat into the park. If I were a cub fan and could go back, I'd do it again...get that mangy, stinkin' thing off my property! And the Red Sox traded someone to another team. Wow, what evil b#$#@rds they are. Us, on the other hand, well, we nearly destroyed the game by trading the ultimate prize for extra pocket money. Hey, if anyone is cursed, it's us. It does make me feel a little better thinking that something divine and out of our hands is responisble for our failures. But I don't embrace it. I just acknowledge it. 10-01-2004, 09:13 PM One of the best articles I've seen about the subject of White Sox fans. It really got to the core of White Sox fans and you could take his description, compare it against the average Cubs fan and see a stark contrast which leads to the animosity. The article was probably aided by the fact its author was coming from a non-Chicago midwest prospective (Let's be honest with ourselves, most of Chicago stands in contrast to the midwest and in comparison with the more cosmopolitan New York, Boston, San Francisco, etc.). I highly recommend this article.I think I had the biggest problem with this: I'm a romantic at heart, and maybe that is why I had to leave Michigan, with its soul crushing blue collar pessimism. Suggesting natural law, or fate, cuffs the spirit. You can't beat natural law, you can't beat fate, but you can fight a curse. You can wear the same t-shirt to every playoff game and not eat in the fifth through seventh innings to bring good luck to your pitcher. You can pray to your god, kiss a rosary or hold séances in center field to appease ghosts. Curses are meant to be endured... and broken. Baseball, merely a game, is about hope and promise and even silly things like good luck and bad. But the White Sox faithful feel that rally caps and appeasing a dead ballplayer won't beat a mediocre stadium, won't defeat the drawback of trying to attract quality players to the Sox, won't erase injuries, plain or bizarre. Sox fans suffer from the same sort of blue collar angst that keeps places like Chicago's South Side, Detroit, Michigan, and Gary, Indiana in the doldrums, seemingly forever. Good luck won't bring jobs and rebuild a downtown. It won't rebuild old Comiskey. This is life, and that's nothing you can do about it. And that's pretty sad. I prefer to think that my view of the Sox has more to do with 50 years of putting up with the same crap year after year after year than it does with the kind of blue collar angst blah blah blah. However, that's about the only real problem I have with the article...well that and the fact that he seemed to miss the fact that H. Vickery's law is strictly tongue in cheek, my way of satirizing the curses attributed to the Flubs while pointing out that there really is no such thing as luck or curses or anything of the sort. What happens happens. And a lot of what happens to us comes from unfortuitous happenstance orn most often from bad ownership. 10-02-2004, 11:15 AM I thought it was a very good article, except for being over done a bit with the curses I thought it was good at capturing the way we all feel. The roots of Sox fans and just their general nature was captured very well in this article. I thought an excellent job overall. vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.

Time flies! Last year around now, I was moving to a completely new city, meeting strangers I would not have otherwise met, and doing lele homework until the wee hours of the morning. No matter how much the 2nd years tried to drill into our heads that jobs are more important, we just refused to buy it. Last night, I was sitting with my buddy Eric in the case rooms applying to jobs. It was dejavu to its max. As I passed by the stuffy hallways, I noticed all the “trees” drawn on the whiteboard. Of course, decision trees! In the spirit of decision trees, I just want to share some 2nd year wisdom with the 1st years. All the things that the 2nd years are telling you right now are for you to not go down that dead node in your decision tree. I understand you all are overwhelmed with information, but take a minute and chew on them. Your ultimate goal for getting an MBA degree is to get that dream job you’ve been longing for. Don’t put off the networking, career coaching until later! When you realize that you have to get back on the job wagon, it’s already too late. I will end with the title of Incubus’s newest album: “If not now, when?”. Oh man, tonight is the biggest event of the AMBAA. We have a great line-up of student performers and professional performers, each of them bringing a piece of their culture and heritage. On top of that, this entire event is MC’ed by yours truly. I haven’t really done anything like this before, so I’m extremely nervous. Nevertheless I think this is what being an MBA student is about, stepping out of your comfort zone. I see this as a great opportunity to promote the AMBAA’s presence at Smith, and also hone my public speaking skills. Practice makes perfect, I am looking forward to tonight! This event was hosted by yours truly and Karan Arora (also a 1st Year MBA). Karan put together an amazing video recollecting the two Asia trips that took place this winter. We interviewed the participants of the China Business Competition in Beijing, also the Study Abroad Trip to India and put together a short film describing their experiences. We also had a panel with Julie Mullins, Ken Chen, Eric Choi and Pradeep Suthram, they answered many questions regarding business etiquette in Asia and shared interesting tidbits of their trip. Overall the event was a success, it was both informative and entertaining. Btw, the Vietnamese sandwiches were really delicious! In every spring semester at Smith, we dedicate an entire week to celebrate the diversity of the school. We started the week with a Chinese New Year Party at Mandarin Delight. The main color theme of the night was red, which represents good luck in the Chinese culture. We taught everyone how to sing the Chinese New Years song, everyone was really into it and sang along. It was an honor to have Professor Lele and Professor Bailey each heading a team to participate in the dumpling making contest! Professor Lele’s team prevailed, but I am not sure how many dumplings can survive in the boiling water to be eaten afterwards. What a week! Two internship interviews, internship search, case write-ups, team project meetings, Graduate Assistant meeting, new markets growth fund applications…Luckily, thursday classes were canceled due to the snow. The most difficult part was adjusting my sleeping schedule from 1.5 months time off. The classes for this semester are really interesting, a lot of case based class discussions. I’m looking forward to the exciting opportunities and challenges ahead! After a much anticipated and lengthy winter break, I am finally back to school. The pre-class jitters have occupied my mind for the better part of week. With all the school work ahead and preparations for interviews, I am very overwhelmed to say the least. But I am looking forward to see my friends from MBA, I want to hear about their winter experiences, whether it’s traveling around the world or internship search etc. I am excited and nervous about my own internship interviews as well, I am trying to prepare for two on-campus interviews that are coming up this week. Wish me luck! Growing up in New Jersey, I have always been curious about what goes on in the skyscrapers in NYC. The concrete jungles were merely blocks with lights that made up the NYC skyline. My goal is to explore what’s inside of those buildings. Luckily, the Finance Association organized a Career Trek for the finance-focuses MBA students to visit some of the biggest players in the financial industry. The Bank of America Tower at One Bryant Park is a 1,200 ft (366 m) skyscraper in the Midtown Manhattan district of New York City, in the United States. It is located on Sixth Avenue, between 42nd and 43rd Street, opposite Bryant Park. The US$1 billion project has been designed by Cook+Fox Architects to be one of the most efficient and ecologically friendly buildings in the world. It is the second tallest building in New York City, after the Empire State Building, and the fourth tallest building in the United States. Construction was completed in 2009. JPMorgan Chase Tower at 270 Park Avenue, New York One Beacon Court (also called the Bloomberg Tower), is a skyscraper on the East Side of Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It houses the headquarters of Bloomberg L.P. in the lower floors and luxury condominiums in the higher floors. It is located at 731 Lexington Avenue between East 58th and 59th streets. It is currently the 15th tallest building in New York and the 46th tallest in the United States. The building’s zip code is 10022. It was such an eye-opening experience to walk into these buildings and talk with our alumni that work at these perspective companies. Discussing current issues with Senior Bankers and Managing Directors of these big firms seemed surreal, at the same time informative. NY Trek definitely bridged the gap between my goals and reality. I look forward to the challenges that I will face during my internship search in NYC, because dreams are made in these concrete jungles. I came to business school for many reasons: advance my education and build a new network of friends to name a couple. However, there has been one benefit that I had not counted on. It never factored into the equation when I was comparing business schools. It never made it into the schedule of major events and classes that I made before attending Smith. It never even entered my mind until orientation. I can only be talking about one thing: flag football. Unless I get a scholarship from Maryland to be their punter, it’s the closest any of us will get to a meaningful sporting event for a long, long, long time. Taking the ride over to the fields, Rick Spadaro (WR, 5’9’’, 165lbs, Drexel University, Strength: Speed, Needs to work on: Humility, Most like: Wes Welker), Anthony Moniello (WR/FS, 6’0’’, 185lbs, George Washington University, Strength: Coverage, Needs to work on: Capturing the Sleeve Monster, Most like: Troy Polamalu), and I (TE, 6’5’’, 250lbs, Washington and Lee University, Strength: Soft Hands, Needs to work on: not making fun of his friends in blog posts, Most like: Antonio Gates) get pumped up for the game by blasting “All I Do Is Win” (that’s right, we haven’t lost a game yet). Once the game starts, we’re like our school: all business (only corny joke I swear). Something happens when you play under those Monday Night Lights. The air feels crisper and the turf causes more raspberries. Our defense is stalwart; our offense, relentless. As the pressure builds, we keep our composure, but still continue to joke about how we’re adding or dropping each other from our fantasy teams. After the victory, we hold our own informal team dinner, whether it is at Cal Tort, Chick-fil-a, or the case rooms doing finance homework. And after our Monday night games, what is there to look forward to the rest of the week? Oh ya, our coed games on Tuesday nights. This week has been one of my busiest weeks here at Smith. The 7-week long core courses had come to an end. We had a final exam in Managerial Economics on Monday and a final exam in Financial Accounting on Wednesday. Our Human Capital & Leadership professor also had “strategically” sandwiched a quiz in between those finals on Tuesday (Professor Chen, I still like your class!). Needless to say my sleep to study ratio was disproportionally magnified during those days. After getting over the post-exam jitters, I had some time to reflect on my first MBA class experience on my drive back to New Jersey. I was astonished on how many topics we covered in those classes. From write-offs, allowance to impairment loss and accumulated other cumulative income (AOCI), Professor Hann has covered the universal language of business. The Swahili-looking balance sheets and cash-flow statements had been translated to meaningful business transactions in my eyes. The asymmetric curves and lines that professor Sampson had drawn in economics class are now tools to describe the market’s supply and demand. Although I sighed with the feeling of relief after those exams, my curiosity has never been so heightened about the more advanced classes that Smith has to offer. Next week, spring registration is set to start. After looking at the elective schedules, I am faced with another dilemma: there are so many classes that I want to take, but there aren’t enough time in the day to take all of them! How best to relax? It was the question I kept asking myself during study breaks the weekend before our Financial Management and Data Models and Decisions tests. I wanted to do something different, and not just celebrate with the cracking of a beer. After brainstorming with a classmate, we decided to go to a Terps soccer game. Initially, I believed this would be a small event, but more and more people kept expressing interest in attending as well, and soon we had about 20 people confirmed. After the tests, we met in a case room to eat some dinner and collectively exhale after a tough day. We deserved a break and a reason to act unlike MBA students. With our brains fried from all the studying, we were in the perfect mood to cheer like hooligans at the World Cup. And to us, it might as well have been. I’m sure the other people around did not enjoy our excessive enthusiasm, but we didn’t care. It was a bunch of people who still didn’t really know each other coming together to root, yell, and (for some) go shirtless in supporting our new favorite soccer team (please don’t tell anyone I still have some allegiances to the opponent that day). As much fun as the soccer game was, I enjoyed the dinner in the case room more – twenty people in a small case room makes for a lot of intimacy. I just can’t wait for the next round of tests to come, because I know we’ll do something similar, yet completely different from the norm to collectively relax. Adam is a fellow 1st Year MBA student at the Smith School. He is in the same track as me, therefore we have every core class together. It is great to have Adam in the classroom, his witty and intelligent comments definitely lightens up the classroom. I look forward to more posts from Adam, I hope you are too.

BARCLAYS ATP WORLD TOUR FINALS 2012 Del Potro Intent On Being Part Of The Club In 2013 by ATP Staff| After coming up one set shy of reaching the title match at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, World No. 7 Juan Martin del Potro shared his goal of competing alongside the ATP’s top trio of Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray in the 2013 season. “Being in the semi-finals in this tournament is so big for me,” said the 24-year-old Argentine. “It’s still Federer, Djokovic, Murray and me. It was the same four players in the Olympics, and in the US Open - the last Grand Slam - was Murray and Djokovic in the final. So those big names are in every big tournament. Sometimes I can be part of them. It’s going to be my big challenge for the next year.” The 2009 US Open champion once again proved his ability to defeat the world’s best this season. He beat Djokovic in the bronze medal match at the London 2012 Olympics, and posted consecutive wins over Federer two weeks ago in the Swiss Indoors Basel final and on Saturday at The O2. (He has not played Murray since 2009.) “These kind of matches give me illusions for the next season,” he shared. “I beat Roger yesterday. I was close to beating Nole today. In the end, they are too good for me, but I’m getting closer every day. “Maybe it could be my big challenge for next year, my big goal, trying to fight at all Grand Slams with this group. They win all the Grand Slams: Novak, Federer, Rafa and now Murray. I would like to be part of those names in the Grand Slams.” Del Potro reached the quarter-finals at three of the four majors and won a career-high 65 matches in 2012. In addition to his bronze medal, he captured four ATP World Tour titles, including back-to-back triumphs at the Erste Bank Open in Vienna and in Basel over the final weeks of the season to clinch his first trip to The O2 since his runner-up finish to Nikolay Davydenko in 2009. “It was so nice for me,” he said of his experience this week. “All the crowd was full for every singles match and doubles matches. The players love that. We enjoy when many people come to see our games and enjoy the games. I have big fans from Argentina who came to watch me here. It’s amazing. I think this tournament is so good to enjoy, and the crowd was fantastic with all the players. “Now I close the year at a very good level. I have been among the four last persons in this tournament, so that means a lot for me. I’m glad with my year.”

I wonder what Victor Hugo would think of the musical based on his book, “Les Misérables.” The Broadway show has certainly surpassed the book in terms of popularity, to the point that there may be a significant number of fans who have no idea it was ever anything else. The novel is more ponderous, more focused on the plight of the poor and destitute in France at the time, whereas the musical is bombastic and full of elaborate set pieces. This is just as true in the new Academy Award-nominated film. There isn’t much about the film that hasn’t already been covered. It’s certainly good—one of the film best musicals I’ve seen in recent years. But there hasn’t been a lot of recent competition. And while there are several incredible performances in the movie, it is by no means equal to the stage show. What the film has is a wider canvass on which to paint the setting—it has visual effects that are stunning and vast. It feels like France, despite all the English. I might have enjoyed it more in French, but this is America after all. My only complaint is that the film is a musical and music should take precedence. The settings and costumes should all take a backseat to the songs. There isn’t room for movie stars with mediocre voices. For the uninitiated, the story follows convict Jean Val Jean, who was imprisoned for 20 years after stealing a loaf of bread. He finds that 19th century France is unforgiving of men with a past and flees his parole to start a new life. He is pursued by the unrelenting Javert, an officer who believes that all criminals are doomed to repeat their crimes. Over the course of the film, Valjean takes in the daughter of a dying prostitute and moves from city to city, hoping for peace. However, peace in France is hard to achieve when the masses are starving. The narrative structure of the film is told entirely through song—there is no dialogue. This is an especially difficult form of musical, one that requires absolute professionals. When the film succeeds, it soars. Anne Hathaway is absolutely stunning as Fantine. Her accolades are well deserved. Hugh Jackman, despite his resume as a Broadway performer, is not quite up to the task of Jean Valjean. Valjean is a very difficult part and Jackman is singing at the top of his range, which at times can be grating. Russell Crowe is miscast as Javert—he is a fine actor and a competent singer, but his voice just isn’t right for the part. Luckily, there are other Broadway actors who fill out the company well. Samantha Barks has some especially powerful scenes. However, for a film like this to work, everyone needs to be at the same level and the weak parts of the cast are noticeable. I’ll admit that “Les Miz” isn’t my favorite musical. There are only three or four good songs in the entire show, strung together with recitative that doesn’t move or inspire. This is mostly personal preference, however, and doesn’t make the film any less impressive. The staging and scope of the visuals are likely to please fans to no end. The opening scene alone is worth the price of admission. I simply prefer a different style of musical —“Guys and Dolls” for instance, or “Singing in the Rain.” Both of those musicals have wonderful film interpretations and I hope that Hollywood knows to leave well enough alone. If the success of “Les Misérables” is any indication, there may soon be an influx of big-budget Hollywood musicals. The film has exploded in terms of both box office draw and critical acclaim. It isn’t that there is a larger for fan base for the musical —“Rent” likely has more fans—but “Les Misérables” has struck a chord with audiences, as well as the Academy. If this is the beginning of a trend, I hope Hollywood understands that most actors aren’t Broadway quality singers and Anne Hathaway isn’t always available. A bit of caution goes a long way. Unfortunately, Hollywood isn’t known for proportionate responses.

Discipline won Test, says Pollock PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, March 21 (AFP) - South Africa beat the West Indies by 69 runs in the second Test at Queens Park Oval Wednesday in what South African captain Shaun Pollock described as "the most intense Test match I have played in." Pollock said his team had won because "we stuck to our disciplines and our game plan." Starting the last day needing another 200 runs to win with nine wickets standing, the West Indies quickly lost four wickets for 19 runs to crash to 51 for five. Such a good start to the day was a bonus, admitted Pollock, but he said his players showed their worth during a 92-run stand between Ramnaresh Sarwan and West Indian captain Carl Hooper. "It was a waiting game and a patience game," said Pollock. "We discussed the fact that every now and then partnerships would develop and that when it happened we had to hang in. We knew that when a break came we could go through." So effectively did South Africa hang in that Sarwan and Hooper could add only 57 runs during the afternoon session before Sarwan succumbed to the pressure and was caught at square leg trying to hook. That started another collapse in which the last five wickets fell for 19 runs. Pollock said the slow pitch and slow scoring rate added to the intensity of a match in which he said fortunes shifted throughout. West Indian captain Carl Hooper said he was disappointed with the collapse Wednesday morning. "We had four days of good cricket and then fell away today," he said. Hooper said more application was needed by the batsmen. "We need to turn 40s into hundreds," he said. But Hooper said he was heartened that the West Indies had shown they were competitive during the first two Tests of a five-match series. The first match in Georgetown, Guyana, Sarwan fell to a spectacular catch shortly before tea. Just when it seemed his stand with Hooper had swung the game back to the West Indies, Sarwan hooked Jacques Kallis and Nicky Boje, fielding about 45m from the bat, turned and leaped to hold a fine catch. Ridley Jacobs, who made 93 not out in the first innings, was the last major batsman and he started aggressively before being run out. Called for a leg bye by Hooper, Jacobs was beaten by the speed and accurate throw of Herschelle Gibbs who raced in from backward point to pick up the ball near the batsmans wicket and throw down the stumps at the bowlers end. Hooper finished with 54 not out after batting for 230 minutes. He faced 172 balls and hit five fours. Kallis finished with four for 40. Allan Donald took the first two wickets of the morning after the West Indies resumed at 32 for one. South African captain Shaun Pollock had Chris Gayle caught behind and Makhaya Ntini claimed the prize wicket of Brian Lara with his first delivery of the innings. The West Indies slide started in the fourth over of the day when nightwatchman Dinanath Ramnarine edged a hard catch to Kallis at second slip off Donald without adding to the 11 runs he scored Tuesday. Marlon Samuels hit two impressive boundaries but had made only nine when he went on the back foot to Donald and edged another catch to Kallis at second slip. With several deliveries keeping low, going back was becoming increasingly hazardous but Gayle, after making a solid 23, went back to Pollock and edged a low catch to wicketkeeper Mark Boucher. Donald was rested after a spell of 7-3-8-2 and his replacement, Ntini, struck a crucial blow with his first delivery, dismissing star batsman Lara for the third time in successive innings. Lara went back on his stumps and was struck low on the pad. West Indian umpire Billy Doctrove gave him out but replays showed the ball had pitched well outside leg stump.

All but one of the infant seats tested by Consumer Reports passed a 30 mile-per-hour impact, but the results changed drastically at higher speeds of 35 miles per hour for front-end crashes and 38 miles per hour for side impact crashes. The same speeds most cars and SUVs are tested. Consumer Reports released a disturbing video of one of the 12 car seats tested, twisting off the base and flying off to the side after impact. Katy Urban, a Tallahassee mother of one with another on the way saw the video Friday morning and said, "It was a little shocking and alarming." The tests found that 10 of 12 seats "failed disastrously" and two of them received an unacceptable rating. One is Evenflo's Discovery, which did not meet federal standards. Evenflo is disputing the finding. Eddie Bauer's Comfort also performed with an unacceptable rating because it could not be installed securely. Consumer Reports says Eddie Bauer will give the customer an improved base to those who complain. Christina Rook said, "You try to buy top of the line and you hope their going to be safe." Spending top dollar for an infant seat may not mean you're bringing home the safest seat out there. Most of the seats failing the safety tests turned out to be more expensive than the two getting the Consumer Report's recommendation. The two recommended seats are Baby Trend's Flex-Loc and Graco's Snugride with EPS are both priced at about $90, but Tallahassee Police and Safe Kids Worldwide reassure parents that most car seats are effective when properly used. Tallahassee Police Traffic INV Joe Giangrosso said, "The biggest mistake is the car seat is not installed tight enough. You've got to get in and put some weight in there and pull that seat belt tight, you don't want it to move more than an inch." Safety experts say as long as you follow the car seat and vehicle recommendations, you shouldn't have a problem. However, the Consumer Reports safety test seems to say that could depend on the type of seat you use. For a breakdown of the ratings, go to the "As Seen on WCTV" link on this website.

Vanderkitten-Focus Women’s Cycling Team has been ripping it up stateside this Summer. After top ten finishes by Jazzy Hurikino and Kate Chilcott at UCI Gatineau GP in Canada, and podiums from ruth Winder in the UK, Emily Collins went on a rampage scoring a dozen podium finishes and winning Pleasanton Fast and Furious. Vanderkitten-Focus has continued its winning season, with two squads racing simultaneously on the East and West coasts of the USA this past Memorial Day weekend- and WINNING both races. In California, Maura Kinsella was supported by teammates Starla Teddergreen, Courtney Dimpel and Vanessa Drigo in a hotly contested Memorial Day Criterium presented by San Jose Bicycle Club. After a race filled with ferocious attacking by the Vanderkitten-Focus gals, Maura put in a massive attempt in the closing laps of the race. Despite a concerted chase from the entire peloton led by the Red Racing Team, Maura managed to hold off her opponents and claim the victory. For a full report in classic MKULTR4 style, read her blog here While this was going on, Bridie O’donnell, Kathleen Billington, Jazzy Hurikino, Emily Collins and Kate Chilcott were tearing up the east coast at the USA’s longest running race, Tour of Somerville, New Jersey. Against a stacked field of 65 top shelf crit riders, Vanderkitten-Focus launched multiple attacks to soften up the opposition. In the finale, a stellar, full force lead out by all 5 VK teammies led Ruth to her biggest win to date, edging out Laura Van Gilder in the throw to the line. Emily Collins, who ran 5th, explained “Ruth has got a huge kick! Van Gilder jumped after the great leadout by Kathleen, but when Ruth went as well only 100metres out, she really surprised with her speed”. A fantastic win for Ruth as she heads to USACrits Palm Bluffs and Glencoe GP this weekend with Van Dimpel and Teddergreen, while Collins, Hurikino, Chilcott, O’Donnell and Bilington race UCI 1.1 Liberty Classic in Philadelphia on Sunday. jennifer Reither led the Vanderkitten-Focus to their 11th win of the season by taking out the final leg of the Tour de Grove MOPRO Series in Missouri. Here is Jenn’s Race report: A weekend at MoPro St. Louis MO. The kittens were in St. Louis this past weekend racing hard and successfully bringing home a WIN! LOOP de LOOP The Kittens opened up with a warm reception at Friday night’s Loop de Loop, making their presence known by launching attacks, contesting primes and ripping the legs off the field. The crowd went crazy cheering and screaming GO Vanderkitten! The litter attacks included a purrrrfect launch and time off the front from Ruth Widner. Jasmine “Jazzy” Hurikino, hit awesome counter attacks after Captain Kitten JennX was reeled back in by the pack on a few occasions. The fan’s passion and support paid off as the team delivered kitten Kate “Chilly” Chicott to a 3rd place finish. 1st Sam Schneider – Tibco 2nd Sarah Feder – Pepper Palace 3rd Kate Chilcott Saturday’s race in The Grove was another day of attacking and chasing. The pack was a bit more aggressive as this race was part of the National Criterium Calendar and the heavy hitters were out for sprint points and a prestigious win. Vanderkitten raced the windy 1.5 mile course as tactically as possible sending girls off the front and having other team’s reel them back in. The wind took a toll on team VK. Efforts being put in were taking the kick and zap out of each kitten’s legs. We did have the extra kitty power with Maura “MK Ultra” Kinsella joining us with Fresh legs, who chased down attacks and stayed close to sprinter Emily “Mooney” Collins along with her teammate Jazzy. On the last lap, Jazzy strung out the pack for the last 2 while Jr. Kitten, Ruth “1K” Widner took a nice flying and spent a few laps off the front. took teammate Emily “Mooney” Collins through the last corner for the 200 meter sprint, Emily took a chance to sprint the open lane to the right but it was Erica Allar who won from the left lane. Emily held on for 4th. 1st Erica Allar – Ride Clean 2nd Sam Schneider – Tibco 3rd Laura van Gilder – Mellow Mushroom 4th Emily Collins – Vanderkitten Without a win on the books for the weekend, Sunday’s race in Dutchtown was the last opportunity for VK to bring it home for the team. The plan stays the same… RACE the hell out of your bike. Whoever wins this race will have to put in a lot of work to do so. From the gun “MK Ultra” launches an attack, using her mad TT skill stays away for 10 minutes. Once reeled in “Chilly” hurts that pack on the climb, and then Jazzy launches with another rider on her wheel and stays away till 4 to go. When Jazzy is reeled in I launch a vicious attack getting a 11 second gap quickly, all the while, “1K Widner” and the rest of the kittens are protecting “Mooney” near the front of the pack. Quick side note, while Jazzy was off the front, Ruth railed a corner, flatted, skipped her bike across the pack and STAYED UPRIGHT!!! Mad skills, glad I saw it; no one would have believed her. From here on out the details get a bit vague as I was lacking oxygen, seeing stars and bottles Michelob Ultra (Title sponsor banners). I think people were telling me I had a gap of 20 seconds at 2 to go, but all I could hear was my mind saying, “Frack!! 2 more laps, Mooney better be ready when I get caught”. I think to myself to push just a bit harder to make them chase me and wear out the other sprinters legs. So put it to them I do and never look back. I then had the finish line in sight, thinking that the pack was on my heels I gave it every effort I could to get across the line, and I did, so exhausted that I couldn’t even fist pump my victory. I did finally looked back and wondered where the rest of the pack was, a spectator told me I had a 27 second gap, I was shocked. The plan came together and the Vanderkittens did it as a team. This win meant so much to me, because it meant so much to all of us, Emily, Jazzy, Kate, Maura, Ruth, Bridie, Courtney, Starla, Vanessa, Jono, Dave and the Fans to celebrate another victory for Vanderkitten. 1st Jennifer Reither – Vanderkitten 2nd Sarah Feder – Pepper Palace 3rd Laura Van Gilder – Mellow Mushroom Enjoy the photos, Enjoy the Ride Captain JennX Fairy Princess For more pics and story, click JennBonics Blog Yesterday, Aussie powerhouse Bridie O’Donnell rode a fast race at the Amgen Tour of California Womens Invitational TT. The 2009 Australian TT Champion clocked a 44:34 over the windswept 29km course that the Pro men contested directly afterwards. Report and more pics to come! 3 Time Oceania Champion and 2009 Australian Open Pro Time Trial Champ Bridie O’Donnell has been announced as one of the ten elite women to contest the 2nd annual Amgen Tour of California Women’s TT presented by SRAM. The event, run in conjunction with the Mens Stage 5 of the Amgen Tour of California in Bakersfield, is set to once again showcase the very top female Time Triallists in the world, with 2008 Olympic Gold Medal Winner Kristin Armstrong (USA) recieving top billing against esteemed company including Sweden’s Emilia Fahlin (Specialized Lululemon) and USA’s Alison Powers (Now and Novartis for MS). For Vanderkitten-Focus, the invite represents an important milestone in the development of the squad as a top tier team. According to Vaderkitten-Focus Sports Director Jono Coulter: “Vanderkitten has always strived to empower women through athletics, and we are thrilled that AEG and Medallist have once again created an event in which the worlds best female cyclists are showcased alongside the best male riders in the world at their event. Vanderkitten owner Dave Verrecchia has consistently built upon the success of the program every year, and we were thrilled to be a part of the inaugural Amgen Tour of California Women’s Criterium in 2008, where the kitties were among the crowd favourites! Over successive years we have built an International squad capable of competing on the world stage and now, with the inclusion of Bridie, have one of the worlds top Time Triallists on our team. To have Bridie rocking the Vanderkitten-Focus kit in one of the most prestigious specialty women’s events in the USA. We could not be more happy”. Bridie will race a 2012 Focus Izalco Chrono 1.0 at the event, with Kask K.31 Chrono Helmet giving her an aero advantage over the 29km slightly rolling course. Vanderkitten-Focus has enjoyed a #kickass first quarter of the year, with Jazzy hurikino scoring the 10th win of the season this weekend at the 39th annual Mikes Bikes Classic in Los Gatos California. Jazzy was one of the favourites heading into the prestigous event, having won the 2010 edition of the famed hilly criterium as a 19 year old. With Katheryn Curi Mattis Directing and on form Vanderkitten-Focus team behind her, however, Jazzy was unstoppable. From lap two Hurikino and Kiwi teammie Emily Collins broke away from the pack over the famed 19% power climb, and when a Stevens Pactimo rider, Marley Smith bridged on the downhill, VK’s Kate Chilcott also came across. This made it 3 VK riders in a 4 rider break! The bunch would not give in easily however, and over multiple ascents of the brutal climb, the peloton slowly reeled the breakaway to within launching distance. With 5 to go it was gruppo compatto so without hesitation VK team captain Jenn Reither launched a solid attack and cleared the field, gaining 12 seconds immediately with only 4 laps to go. The chase behind was furious and with 2 to go Jenn X was brought back into the field. no sooner had she come back that it was 3 time Oceania champion Bridie O’Donnell that made a bid for the line. The proven 2009 Time Trial Champion of Australia established a huge gap and the field was reduced to a selection of only the best as they worked to contain the damage. With half a lap to go, the last time up the climb Bridie was caught and this time Jazzy made her move. Within 300 metres she had formed a 100 metre gap to the field and put her head down with only half a mile of downhill to the finish line. To the joy of the assembled crowd and sponsors, as well as Jazzy’s parents who had stepped off an international flight from Australia and made their way straight to the race, crossed the line and threw her hands in the air with exhausted jubilation. Only 2 seconds later her friend and teammate Emily Collins crossed the line punching her fists, with another Aussie, SportVelo’s Bec Werner in 3rd. A momentous day for the Vanderkitten-Focus program and all is looking good for the next 2 months of competition that will see racing across the USA and UCI events in Canada and Philadelphia. Earlier in the month Vanderkitten-Focus had notched some top performances at the Sea Otter Classic in Monterey, with Emily Collins 3rd on Stage 1 and Emily and Kate recording top ten finishes in the final Circuit Race. The 2012 Redlands Cycling Classic lived up to its hype as a spectacular kickoff to the Women’s NRC season. Vanderkitten-Focus sent a strong squad of 8 athletes, and although bad luck hit the team early on in the tour, our resilient kitties carried on in brave fashion representing VK in style!

This doesn't really fit in with the thread topic, but it does have to do with food I know it's not okay to consume meat if it's been frozen, defrosted, frozen again, and then defrosted again. But I was wondering if this applies to vegetables? Reason I'm asking is because one of my caregivers defrosted a bag of my homemade salsa, then another caregiver put it back in the freezer, and I've defrosted it again, presuming that it is okay to eat tonight with some chips. Does anyone know if this is okay?

Logan Miller, a student at Boyertown Junior High West and former student at Pine Forge Elementary, is one day looking to serve his county—and right now he’s trying to help his community. In preparation for applying to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, Logan is looking to showcase his interest in community service by bringing the Greater Berks Food Bank Weekender Backpack program to the Boyertown Area School District. The program provides backpacks filled with nutritional foods to needy children every Friday during the school year to help get the child through the weekend. “It’s enough food to feed a child for the weekend,” Julie explained. “Nutritious and easy [items] that a child can make themselves if necessary.” Crackers, instant oatmeal and yogurt were among some of the options listed. “Some students have parents that are less than involved; this food doesn’t require a lot of preparation. It’s meant to be easily done with little supervision.” Five out of 7 of the district’s elementary schools qualify for the program according to the food bank. To quality, a school must have 25 percent or higher of the student population which qualifies for free or reduced price school meals. The five schools include: Pine Forge Elementary, Colebrookdale Elementary, Boyertown Elementary, Washington Elementary and Earl Elementary. According to Logan’s mother, Julie Miller, the family has reached out to Boyertown Superintendent Dr. Richard Faidley for support and they received just that. According to Julie, Faidley stated that while there is no money in this district’s budget—he fully supports the effort and will help in any way he can. More than a dozen Berks County schools currently participate in the Weekender Backpack program, according to the Greater Berks Food Bank website. It takes approximately $9,500 to fill all the backpacks for one school weekly for an entire school year. Logan’s ultimate goal is to raise $50,000 in order to feed all of the qualifying students at all 5 qualifying elementary schools for the entire school year. According to Julie, they plan to fundraise for as long as it takes and will bring it to one school at a time if need be. She added that schools can decline the program, but she’s happy to have the district’s support. The family’s goal right now is to get the word out about the program. There are still things that need to be worked out, such a place to store food and available volunteers to fill the backpacks. The bags would be filled each Thursday to be taken on Friday; students would return them each Monday. “We’ve never done fund-raising before; hopefully we can start it and bring to a handful of kids.” Logan did all of the research regarding the program and gathered information from the food bank about Boyertown’s qualifications. Following his lead, his family became involved in the effort. They have set up a donation site to try and raise enough money to bring the program to as many students in the district as possible. Donations can be made at http://www.gofundme.com/9zdjiw. Julie also made mention of the fact that there is no program during the summer months and was curious whether families took advantage of the various programs and pantries. Looking ahead, she would like to address the hunger that many students likely experience when school is out on summer break. “Go big or go home,” she said, in reference to the goals ahead.

I was asked to speak to the Quinte Field Naturalists recently about personal steps towards sustainability. I knew this group had a great many “birders” in it, so I was a bit apprehensive. Birders in my area have been very outspoken against big wind. So let me state three things here first. - I love wind power. Big, small, local, at my house, in the ocean, in fields, I love wind power. This is my bias. - Wind turbines kill birds. Not many, but some. How many is what is relevant. - Big wind turbines take some getting used to. Even though I love the look of big wind turbines, I am the first to admit that when 90 of them went up on Wolfe Island, they changed the look of the landscape. I don’t think it’s in a bad way, but many in my province do. Ontario is blessed with lots of wind power. Big open areas, especially near large bodies of water, are windy. Ontario includes shoreline on Lake Superior, Lake Huron, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. They are great lakes indeed. Not only is it a mind-boggling amount of fresh water, it’s a huge potential clean energy resource because the wind sweeps across these large bodies of water. Our province enacted “The Green Energy Act” which is one of the most progressive clean power programs in the world. We now have lots of wind turbines and solar panels in service or being planned. The Green Energy Act shifts all the risk for the power generation from the government to individuals and corporations. If you put up a wind turbine, you pay for it, you pay to get the power lines to it, you pay to insure it and all that the province does is commit to purchase the electricity you generate at a fixed price. In a province that is saddled with 10 of billions of dollars worth of debt from our nuclear plants, and 10 of billions of dollars worth of obligations to decommission those plants and dispose of their waste and insure them while they operate, it’s a great deal for taxpayer and ratepayers. But enough of my proselytizing. People in this province don’t seem to like green energy. Or they claim to be supportive of “wind power” or “hydro power” or “solar power,” just not anywhere near where they live. Europe hasn’t had the kind of push back we have in this province and I don’t understand why it’s so strong here. But the opposition is very vocal. We hear a lot about wind turbines killing birds. So when I spoke to this group I was expecting pushback on the topic. I decided that I’d better do some research to share with this group. I found a website for the “Fatal Light Awareness Program” or “FLAP” (http://www.flap.org/) They are a group of birders who are concerned by how many birds get killed by large buildings. Their report states that 14,000 migratory birds die every day in Toronto. There’s photo of just some of the dead birds that they have collected. It’s heart breaking. Under their “Birds and Buildings” menu they have this “Hierarchy of Threats” chart. It is backed up by this report from the NRC. (Go to http://www.wind-watch.org/docviewer.php and scroll down to find it on the right-hand side NRC_Wind_Report_050307.pdf) According to this report, collisions with buildings kill 976 million birds a year, high tension wire collisions kill at least 130 million, and on and on. Wind turbines are about .003% of the total. These numbers are likely to grow as the number of turbines increase and wind turbines do kill birds, but apparently much less than other hazards. I’ve never heard anyone in this province suggesting that we take down power lines, buildings, communication towers or that we ban hunting, house cats or vehicles. And yet these obstructions and hazards are a far greater threat to birds than wind turbines. This website; http://www.abcbirds.org/abcprograms/policy/collisions/index.html, has some American stats. Another important point is that climate change is wreaking havoc on all creatures, especially birds. We had two weeks of summer last March, then the worst heat and drought on record around here. How can that not have a major impact on such a vulnerable creative? Climate change is a far greater risk to birds and wind turbines represent a solution, albeit not the perfect one. I don’t think many people will deny that any more. An article from the November 2, 2012 Toronto Star entitled “Birders swoop in for diverted flights” talked about the many birders who went to Fort Erie for the opportunity to see birds that they’ve never seen before. Hurricane Sandy had blown these birds to the Great Lakes. Some birds will die because they need food that is only available in salt water. Ron Rideout, a biologist for Bird Studies Canada, is quoted as saying “The Atlantic birds don’t get back home because they generally don’t fly over land and may become confused. They fly around in circles and die of starvation or exhaustion.” It is important for wind turbines to be located and built properly to limit their risk to migratory birds as much as possible. Afterwards I spoke individually to a number of people and everyone seemed to have stories about birds at risk. One person told me about his friend whose job involves going out early in the morning, before commuters have arrived, to clean up the dead birds from the night before around tall office buildings. Another person had spent two weeks at an East Coast bird rockery this past summer. He noticed that many of the newly hatched chicks died. He mentioned his observation to a government research scientist and the scientist had observed this as well. The scientist suggested that the warming of the ocean water was causing fish to move further offshore which made it difficult for the parents to find food to feed their young. I believe those opposed to wind turbines and those in favor of wind turbines share the same desire for a stable climate that birds (and all life on the planet) can thrive in. I sit at my computer and watch birds successfully dodge the guy wires of my wind tower every day. I have never, ever, seen a bird make contact with one of them or a blade on the turbine. I have never found a dead bird or bat at the base of my wind turbine. As I sit at my computer I often hear the “thud” of a bird that has hit one of my windows. Most of the time they fly off but about once a month I find a dead bird below a window that wasn’t so lucky. My window killed it. And don’t get me started on “Lizzie the Terminator Cat.” If I was a bird and my option was extinction because of lack of food or other climate-related fate like getting blown hundreds of miles from home in a super storm, versus having to navigate the blades of a wind turbine, I’d take my odds with the turbine every time.

LG has just released a report that takes a look at how, when and where Americans use their smartphones. And to make the dry stats more interesting to read, LG has produced an infographic that reveals the results of its survey. We all know how revered smartphones are in the states. 48% of Americans said that they would have no problem using their handset in a house of worship. Believe it or not, 77% would use their smartphone while in bed with another person. Ironically, while more than 3 out of 4 would use their smartphone while in bed, only 28% would use it while out on a date. Before smartphones, people used to bring a newspaper or a book into the bathroom when nature called. LG's survey found that 75% of Americans would have no problem using their smartphone while on the potty. LG also found that 58% of smartphone owners use their device while out with family and 62% use their device while out with friends. The survey was answered by 1152 Americans age 18 or older. 20% of those who answered it said that they would not try to hide that they were using their phone no matter what the situation was. 48% have used the camera on their device to snap "shocking pictures" and 36% admit to taking "selfies". LG didn't ask how many photographed "shocking selfies". Want to see what your stateside friends, family and neighbors are doing with their smartphone? Check out LG's infographic below. LG's survey responses are revealed in this infographic source: LG via IntoMobile

Former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley remains in hospital CHICAGO — Former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley likely will remain hospitalized in an intensive care unit for several days as doctors conduct tests to determine why he was feeling ill and disoriented during a conference in Arizona, a spokeswoman for the city’s longest serving mayor said Sunday. Jackie Heard, Daley’s longtime spokeswoman when he was mayor who now serves as his spokeswoman at the downtown Chicago law firm where he works, said that the 71-year-old Daley was resting comfortably at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.Continue Reading Daley was attending a conference in Scottsdale, Ariz., with other members of the law firm, Latten Muchin Rosehman, when he started complaining Friday that he did not feel well. She said Daley flew back to Chicago on Friday evening, and that his family had arranged for an ambulance to be at the airport to take him directly to the hospital. She said he was able to walk to the ambulance. Heard said Daley has been alert while in the hospital, and has been visited by members of his family. She said has not been told by doctors, even preliminarily, what might have caused Daley to fall ill. Daley has been hospitalized at least twice since 2000, when he was examined by doctor after experiencing minor chest pains. Two years later, he and his wife were hospitalized because they were suffering from severe stomach flu. Daley was the city’s mayor for 22 years, the most by anyone in city history and a year longer than his father, the legendary Richard J. Daley, who was 74 when he died in 1976 of a heart attack while still in office. In 2010, Richard M. Daley surprised the city when he announced that he would not seek a seventh term. He was succeeded by Rahm Emanuel, the former White House chief of staff who returned to the city to make his successful run for mayor. About six months after Daley left office, his wife, Maggie, died Thanksgiving Day after a long battle with breast cancer.

“People who aren’t from Boston or don’t have family members affected, people’s day-to-day life resumes and people move on,” Cooper tells TheWrap. “So we really wanted to keep going back to Boston and focus on Adrianne [Haslet-Davis] and her family and the impact of this event and just remind people of really what happened to […] A year later, the aftermath of the Boston bombing is still being felt by the hundreds of people who were caught in the terrorist attack, but Adrianne Haslet-Davis, who lost her leg in the blast, has defied expectations of doctors with her recovery, as seen in a new CNN special, “The Survivor Diaries,” hosted by Anderson Cooper, airing Tuesday at 10 p.m. Haslet-Davis has been dancing eight to ten hours a day for years, teaching and participating in competitive ballroom dancing before the bombing disrupted her life. A week after the bombing, Cooper met with her and introduced viewers to her inspirational story. “We got in touch with her mom initially,” Cooper told TheWrap. “Her mom had flown into Boston and we had talked to her and asked if Adrianne wanted to talk and that’s how we wound up in her hospital room in those early days and I don’t think she had talked to anybody yet but she was very optimistic. She was very determined to not let this define her and move on with her life.” “He came in and sat by my bedside and we really bonded and he wanted to do anything he could to help, I made a promise to him that I would teach him to dance, it was wonderful to do that,” Haslet-Davis said. She says her injury was a very alien experience, and had a very difficult time coming to grips with it. “I hope the special will help other people and be able to encourage others to follow their dreams,” she adds. “I hope that it inspires people. It’s a very honest look at what it’s like to go through something like this.” “When I was sitting in her hospital room for the first time, I was amazed at her optimism and her determination to be able to continue her life and continue the things that she loves,” Cooper said. “She still wasn’t sure about how she’d recover in those early days, she was still learning about prosthetics, it all happened very fast obviously, and she was stabilized, she was doing OK, she knew she would need a prosthetic… but when you lose part of a limb it’s obviously better to have some part of the leg below the knee,” Cooper explained. “In that way she was fortunate,” he said. “It makes a huge difference in terms of what kind of prosthetic you end up getting, so she knew that it was going to be a long process of rehabilitation, she knew it would be a long process of learning to walk again, but I don’t think she fully understood how tough it would be to dance again. It was a desire of her to dance again.” Cooper stressed to TheWrap how important it was for him to handle Haslet-Davis’ interview with sensitivity: “It’s something you certainly learn from experience, when I first started at age 22, I started in wars, you just try to be yourself and be very clear about why you’re there and be very attuned to the other person and you listen a lot. I’m very aware in a situation like this of listening to the person and try to understand why they want to speak and what message they want to get out and I want to help them do that. I’m very cautious and careful in any questions I ask people, even how I phrase questions, I put a lot of thought in it, it’s just being a decent human being and relating to the person as a person and not a reporter asking questions.” “I actually talked to people all the time who had been survivors of bombings, who’ve survived combat, who’ve survived natural disasters and earthquakes, in fact, my first job as a reporter ever I snuck into Burma and I met up with some students who were fighting the Burmese government, and they weren’t trained fighters, they had been students the year before and they now found themselves in the jungle. So from my earliest days, I really did end up focusing most of my time on just regular people who have found themselves in situations not of their making or beyond their control and in some ways it’s different than talking to a soldier who has gone into combat, but in the end everybody is a human being and reacts as a human being even if you’re a trained professional or a solider, you’re still a person who has a family and has hopes and dreams for what you’re life is going to be and something like this changes all of that.” Cooper said that it was an incredible experience getting to follow Haslet-Davis for her recovery. “I think when you see something like the bombings in Boston, people pay attention but then people who aren’t from Boston or don’t have family members affected, people’s day-to-day life resumes and people move on and yet for people who have experienced the trauma, it’s not so easy to just move on and this past year has been a completely different year for them than it has been for most other people. It’s rare that you have the opportunity to follow somebody — you’re there for the immediate event and the media moves on as well — so we really wanted to keep going back to Boston and focus on Adrianne and her family and the impact of this event and just remind people of really what happen to somebody that survives. Once everybody else moves on, they’re left with the reality of their situation and they’re left with the difficult moments, and the triumphs and the heartbreaks and we wanted to document all of them show people the reality of what this year has been like for one survivor.” Just as he had promised, Cooper got the opportunity to get a dance lesson with Haslet-Davis. “I wouldn’t even call what I did ballroom dancing,” he confessed. “But I was sort of shuffling on my feet and trying to not make a complete fool of myself. The first time that I met her, we were in the hospital room and I sort of said in passing, I’d love to take a lesson from you, I was trying to be positive and we were having a fun time together and it just seemed like a nice thing to say and then I realized as she agreed to let us follow her for the year, I suddenly realized, oh my goodness, this means I’m going to have to dance with her but she’s going to hold me to this promise and it’s probably going to be on camera.” “I’m not about to audition for Dancing With the Stars anytime soon!” Cooper exclaims. Anderson Cooper speaks with Boston bombing survivor Adrianne Haslet-Davis on his new special “The Survivor Diaries,” airing Tuesday at 10 p.m. Watch a clip:

ICT SATELLITE ACCOUNT Information and communication technologies (ICT) play an important role in the way in which we live and do business. There is considerable interest in the role of ICT as a significant driver of socioeconomic development, for example, in the way that ICT has allowed businesses to increase productivity. For official statisticians, the measurement of these technologies provides significant conceptual and measurement challenges. A key part of the ABS response to these challenges has been the development of an ICT satellite account for Australia for 2002-03. This was preceded by the release in 2003 of a 'pilot' ICT satellite account in respect of 1998-99. The notion of a satellite account was conceived in the System of National Accounts 1993 to expand the core national accounts for selected areas of interest, while using relevant concepts and structures from the core national accounts. An ICT satellite account involves the identification of ICT products and activities within the national accounting framework so that a comprehensive and coherent set of economic data on ICT supply and use can be produced. There are few international examples of ICT satellite accounts, and the concepts and methods used here are largely based on existing international statistical standards for national accounts. Nevertheless, developments from a number of international fora are also incorporated, in particular, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Working Party on Indicators for the Information Society and the OECD Task Force on Software Measurement in the National Accounts. This publication represents the first official satellite account on ICT and its direct contribution to the Australian economy. In particular, it contains data on the contribution of ICT to key macro-economic variables such as gross domestic product (GDP), investment, imports and exports. As this satellite account constitutes an integrated set of statistics on ICT products and services within the internationally recognised Australian System of National Accounts, it represents a valuable policy and research tool with a wide range of applications. This satellite account is the product of development work requiring a number of assumptions and synthetic estimates for some components, and therefore at this stage the estimates should be considered experimental. The Australian Bureau of Statistics welcomes user comments. Comments should be directed to: National Accounts Research Australian Bureau of Statistics Locked Bag 10 Belconnen, ACT, 2616. For further information about these and related statistics, contact the National Information and Referral Service on 1300 135 070 or Peter Comisari on Canberra (02) 6252 5381. BACKGROUND TO THE ICT SATELLITE ACCOUNT There has been substantial interest in recent years, both in Australia and internationally, in those products and services known as information and communication technology (ICT) products and services (hereafter referred to as ICT products), in the industries that import, produce or distribute those products and in who uses these products. ICT products are closely associated with the phenomenon of the 'new economy' and with other events such as the 'dotcom' boom and the privatisation of telecommunication service providers seen in a number of countries over the past two decades. Much of the demand for economic data on ICT products has been driven by the interest of economists and policy advisors in the uptake of new technologies and in the role ICT may have played in the productivity surge of the 1990s. Satellite accounts, as articulated in the international System of National Accounts 1993 (SNA93), allow for an expansion of the national accounts for selected areas of interest while maintaining links to the basic concepts and structures of the core national accounts. The ICT satellite account developed by the ABS uses the national accounts framework to present a picture of the value of transactions in ICT products within the Australian economy. The link with the national accounts enhances the usefulness of the data in analysis because it ensures comparability to, and consistency with, key economic aggregates such as GDP. However, the satellite account does not provide an analysis of the contribution of ICT to productivity growth, nor is it a compendium of all available ICT-related information collected by the ABS or available through other sources. The ABS provides a variety of ICT-related information from its extensive suite of ICT surveys. These surveys include the Information and Communication Technology Industries Survey (ICTIS), the Business Use of Information Technology Survey (BUIT), the Household Use of Information Technology Survey (HUIT) and the Government Technology Survey (GTS). Appendix 1 describes the framework used by the ICT satellite account in which these and other data are brought together and integrated for the whole economy. Broadly, ICT products include computer hardware and their peripherals, parts, components and consumables, computer software, telecommunication assets, computer services, telecommunication services and wholesale and retail margins on ICT products. ICT products do not include those ICT goods and services produced and consumed in-house in the process of producing other goods and services. In turn, the 'ICT Industry' is defined with reference to those same products, and includes wholesaling and retailing. Appendix 2 provides a detailed discussion of issues relating to the scope of the ICT satellite account and the classifications used. ICT products in this publication are defined within the ABS Classification of ICT Products and are presented in Appendix 3. The economic value of ICT products is already included in the Australian System of National Accounts (ASNA) in key economic aggregates such as GDP, industry gross value added, gross fixed capital formation (investment) and household final consumption expenditure (HFCE). However, the classifications and data sources used in the national accounts are generally not designed to systematically isolate ICT products, or the industries producing or distributing those products. Similarly, the national accounts do not systematically isolate the use of ICT products by businesses, government and households, although some important aggregates such as business investment in computer software are already separately available. The basic compilation framework for the ICT satellite account is the national accounts 'supply and use' system. It has been adapted to focus on ICT products and the industries producing or distributing those products. Fundamentally, the system consists of a supply table that tracks the supply of ICT products from imports and from Australian producers, and a use table that tracks the use of those products by industries, government, households and for export. It aims to be comprehensive in its coverage. Many different sources of data of varying quality are used to populate the supply and use tables. Appendix 4 provides a description of the various ABS data sources used. In order to satisfy the identity that the supply and use of products must be equal, discrepancies due to deficiencies in the source data have been identified and resolved. A great strength of the framework is that it facilitates this data confrontation and provides a basis for optimising the quality of the overall estimates in the face of deficiencies and gaps in data coverage. One role of the satellite account has been to review and, where necessary, make improvements to ICT data series used in the ASNA itself. These improvements were substantially reflected in the 'historical revision' of the national accounts published in Australian System of National Accounts 2004-05 (cat. no. 5204.0) in November 2005. Some satellite accounts use a set of recommended classifications and frameworks developed from international research and discussion over a number of years, with international agencies usually taking the lead. For example, when the ABS developed its satellite accounts for tourism and non-profit institutions there were international guidelines available to guide the work. There are no such guidelines available for an ICT satellite account, although there have been international initiatives on some aspects important to this work. International experience shows that the measurement of ICT transactions is not easy, particularly given the intangible nature of software, the licencing and leasing arrangements involved and the bundling of ICT products. It was therefore inevitable that a range of significant data and other issues required close attention in producing this publication. Appendix 5 provides detail on the substantial number of methodological issues encountered. Inevitably, a number of judgement calls were necessary to integrate the data and to take a stance on issues for which there is as yet no clear international standard. Consequently, the results contained in this publication should be considered experimental. Appendix 6 provides further comment on the quality of the estimates produced and Appendix 7 describes the relationship between these estimates and certain other ICT-related ABS data series. Because of the large developmental aspect to the ICT satellite account, this publication gives considerable attention to describing the ABS response to the various challenges encountered in producing the published tables. The ABS hopes this will encourage constructive commentary on the issues described and contribute to the development of best practice in statistical measurement internationally. This publication was preceded by a pilot ICT satellite account in respect of 1998-99, the results of which were published as a feature article 'An Information and Communication Technology Satellite Account' in the December quarter 2002 issue of Australian National Accounts: National Income, Expenditure and Product (cat. no. 5206.0). On the basis of knowledge gained from the pilot ICT satellite account, the ABS undertook to collect a range of additional data from businesses and government to compile the accounts contained in this publication. ANALYSIS OF RESULTS The scope of this satellite account was determined by the range of goods and services considered to be 'ICT'. Essentially, ICT products include computer hardware, computer software, telecommunication assets, computer services and telecommunication services. An ICT satellite account details the supply and use of these products and also measures the direct value that ICT products add to the economy through the key aggregates ICT GDP and ICT gross value added. ICT GDP represents the total market value of ICT products produced in Australia after deducting the cost of goods and services used up in the process of production. ICT accounted for $36.2 billion or 4.6% of total GDP in 2002-03. Industry gross value added is free of the effects of changes in taxes and subsidies on products that can vary between industries and over time and is therefore the preferred national accounts measure of industry contribution to value of production. ICT gross value added was $34.8 billion (4.9% of total gross value added) in 2002-03. The ICT share of gross value added exceeds the ICT share of GDP. Since GDP is equivalent to gross value added plus taxes less subsidies on products, this result simply reflects ICT's relative share of taxes less subsidies on products. ICT share of the Australian economy, 2002-03 ICT GROSS VALUE ADDED There is no 'ICT industry' in the Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC). Instead, producers of ICT products operate in a number of ANZSIC industries. Of the ICT contribution to total gross value added of 4.9%, Telecommunication services contributed 2.2 percentage points, Computer services 1.4 percentage points, ICT wholesale 0.7 percentage points, ICT manufacturing 0.1 percentage points and all other industries 0.5 percentage points. Viewed differently, the most significant industry contributors to ICT gross value added were Telecommunication services (44.3%), Computer services (28.0%) and ICT wholesale (14.8%). INDUSTRY CONTRIBUTION TO ICT GROSS VALUE ADDED - 2002-03 ICT gross value added Share of ICT gross value added |ICT specialist industries | |Telecommunication services | |Computer services | |Total ICT specialist industries | |Other industries | COMPARISON WITH 'NON-ICT' INDUSTRIES When compared with the seventeen conventional ANZSIC industry divisions the ICT contribution to total gross value added of 4.9% in 2002-03 ranked ninth. ICT gross value added exceeded that of Agriculture, forestry and fishing (3.3%), Government administration and defence (4.4%), Education (4.8%), and Personal and other services (2.0%). Among the industries with a contribution to total gross value added exceeding that of ICT were Mining (5.0%), Construction (6.4%) and Finance and insurance (7.4%). INCOME COMPONENTS OF ICT GROSS VALUE ADDED Gross value added corresponds to the income items compensation of employees, gross operating surplus, gross mixed income and other net taxes on production. In the ICT specialist industries, compensation of employees ($17.1 billion) and gross operating surplus and gross mixed income ($13.1 billion) combined comprised 97.5% of gross value added. Among the ICT specialist industries, Computer services contributed most to compensation of employees, and Telecommunication services had the highest gross operating surplus / gross mixed income. INCOME COMPONENTS OF ICT GROSS VALUED ADDED - 2002-03 Compensation of employees Gross operating surplus/Gross mixed income Other net taxes on production ICT gross value added |ICT specialist industries | |Wholesale trade | |Telecommunication services | |Computer services | |Total ICT specialist industries | |Other industries | |na not available | AUSTRALIAN PRODUCTION OF ICT PRODUCTS The value of Australian production of ICT products was $65.1 billion in 2002-03. Over 90% of this production took place within ICT specialist industries. The largest single contributor to total Australian production of ICT products was Telecommunication services ($32.7 billion) followed by Computer services ($15.5 billion). Retail trade ($3.6 billion) was the largest contributor among the 'Other industries'. INVESTMENT IN ICT Business and government invested $26.7 billion in ICT products in 2002-03. Computer hardware made up 40.2% ($10.7 billion) of this investment and packaged and customised software 30.8% ($8.2 billion). The Communication services industry ($5.1 billion) contributed 19.3% to total ICT investment - the largest share of any industry. Other major industry contributors to ICT Investment were Property and business services (14.1%), Finance and insurance (12.1%), Government administration and defence (11.4%) and Manufacturing (8.6%). Industry share of ICT investment, 2002-03 Private businesses and public corporations contributed 83.4% ($22.3 billion) of total investment in ICT products in 2002-03 while general government contributed 16.6% ($4.5 billion). The Commonwealth Government accounted for 59.5% of general government sector ICT investment. The largest ICT product investment by any sector was private sector investment in software ($9.2 billion), followed closely by private sector investment in computer hardware ($8.8 billion). General government invested $2.1 billion in software, $2.0 billion in computer hardware and $0.4 billion in telecommunication equipment. ICT investment, By sector and product - 2002-03 Investment in ICT accounted for 13.8% of total investment in Australia in 2002-03. Some industries invest more intensively in ICT, which is reflected in the marked industry-to-industry variation in the proportion of ICT investment to total investment. The Communication services industry had the largest proportion of ICT investment to total investment at 80.7%. This was followed by Government administration and defence (58.2%), Finance and insurance (48.2%), Wholesale trade (30.3%), and Property and business services (27.1%). ICT investment to total investment, By selected industries - 2002-03 ICT investment as a proportion of total investment |Wholesale trade | |Communication services | |Finance and Insurance | |Property and business services | |Government admisnistration and defence | |All other industries(a) | |(a) Excluding ownership of dwellings and ownership transfer costs. | Annual growth in investment for computer hardware and software fluctuated between 1997-98 and 2004-05, though it remained positive throughout this period. The 18.3% peak in growth in software investment between 1998-99 and 1999-2000 reflected Y2K related software spending. Investment in computers, Annual growth - 1997-98 to 2004-05 BUSINESS USE OF SELECTED ICT TECHNOLOGIES The following table shows recent trends in business use of computers and the Internet, and web presence in businesses. Over the last five years, business use of these technologies has increased substantially, particularly business presence on the web and use of the Internet. In 2002-03, 83% of businesses indicated use of a computer, while 71% used the Internet and 23% had a web presence. BUSINESS USE OF SELECTED TECHNOLOGIES |Businesses using a computer | |Businesses using the Internet | |Businesses with a web presence | |Business Use of Information Technology, 2002-03 (cat. no. 8129.0). | Intermediate consumption is the value of goods and services used up as inputs in the process of production. In business accounting terms, intermediate consumption corresponds to 'business expenses' (as opposed to investment spending). Business and government intermediate consumption of ICT products was valued at $33.5 billion in 2002-03. The largest item of intermediate consumption of ICT products was telecommunication services valued at $18.9 billion, followed by other computer services ($11.0 billion). Following national accounts conventions, all household spending on ICT products is treated as consumption spending. Households spent $16.0 billion on ICT products in 2002-03. The largest single component was phone carrier services, which accounted for $10.8 billion (or 67.0%) of household expenditure on ICT. Households also spent $1.8 billion (11.4%) on computer hardware, $1.2 billion (7.5%) on telecommunication equipment and $1.1 billion (6.8%) on Internet services. Household spending on ICT products accounted for 3.5% of total household final consumption expenditure (HFCE) in 2002-03. This was similar to the level of household spending on education services, clothing and footwear and alcoholic beverages and tobacco. HFCE, Selected components - Relative to total HFCE: 2002-03 INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN ICT Australia experienced a deficit of $9.7 billion in net trade in ICT products in 2002-03. That is, the level of ICT product imports ($14.0 billion) was $9.7 billion greater than ICT product exports ($4.2 billion). ICT imports accounted for 8.4% of all imports while ICT exports accounted for 2.8% of exports. Re-exports made up $1.2 billion of total ICT imports and exports. Re-exports are imports which are exported in the same condition or after undergoing only minor transformation which leaves them essentially unchanged. Computer hardware and telecommunication equipment together made up 73.5% of ICT imports. The largest ICT export items were computer hardware at $1.3 billion and telecommunication services at $1.1 billion. In combination, these two items comprised 55.2% of total ICT exports in 2002-03. For analytical purposes ICT employment is defined to include 'computing professionals and technicians' working in both ICT and non-ICT related industries. ICT employment excludes persons employed in ICT related industries in such activities as data entry, call centre and general management and administration. Computing professionals and technicians accounted for 2.5% (or 234,700 persons) of total employed persons in 2002-03. Computing professionals dominated this category, accounting for 74% or 174,800 persons.

Last year in Texas, a scared little white pup named Diamond arrived at the City of Abilene’s municipal shelter. She was dirty, painfully matted and very scared. No one knew it at the time, but she was also deaf. If Diamond had arrived at the shelter a year earlier, she may never have found her happy ending. But the folks who work at the City of Abilene shelter are especially dedicated and strongly committed to saving animals’ lives. Naturally, they jumped at the chance to take part in the ASPCA’s Carroll Petrie Foundation Dog Rescue Project, unveiled in September. Part of the ASPCA Animal Relocation Initiative, the Carroll Petrie Foundation Dog Rescue Project helps cash-strapped municipal shelters like Abilene’s relocate dogs to off-site adoption programs, rescues or private shelters by providing municipal shelters $50 per dog placed. That money can be spent on vet care for an animal, transportation of the pet, or on anything else that will help move the animal out of the shelter. For Diamond, this program was a godsend. Abilene was able to use the Petrie subsidy to move her to The Pawed Squad rescue. After a desperately needed grooming, Diamond revealed herself to be an adorable little Bichon Frise! She also came out of her shell and showed she would make a wonderful companion. Soon after rescuing Diamond, the Pawed Squad was able to place her in a loving home that cherishes her every day. Her deafness was never an issue for these awesome adopters. Congratulations to Abilene, The Pawed Squad rescue and Diamond’s happy family. We’re so glad the Carroll Petrie Foundation Dog Rescue Project is changing lives like hers and thousands of others. Want to help support our efforts to find homes for thousands of homeless pets like Diamond? Please consider becoming an ASPCA Guardian today.

The Memovox Polaris, of which 1714 were made between 1965 and 1970, remains Jaeger-LeCoultre’s best known diving watch. The project took shape in the wake of the 1959 Memovox Deep Sea. The Manufacture’s new creation had an unusually large case for the time: 42 mm! One year after the launch of the first models, the Memovox Polaris was fitted with a new system to increase the volume of the alarm under water. A triple case back prevented the sound from being damped by the diver’s rubber suit. It consisted of an inner case in bronze for the resonance of the alarm, a waterproof back and an outer back with 16 round openings. Manufactured in 1967, the Memovox Polaris watch to be sold by Artcurial, model E859, is among the first models fitted with the patented Compressor triple back. It also offers an inner bidirectional rotating flange, luminescent hour-markers and hands and a date aperture. Composed of 241 parts, the self-winding Jaeger-LeCoultre 825 calibre is equipped with a hammer rotor. Although perfected over the years, today’s Jaeger-LeCoultre alarm watches still use a similar alarm system.

An FQHC (Federally Qualified Health Center) is part of the dental safety net — these centers serve locations or populations with limited access to care. They may be located in urban or rural areas. An FQHC is often an integrated medical facility, where a patient has a single chart encompassing all care, including medical, dental and behavioral health. Some dentists work full-time at a FQHC, while others devote part of their schedules to working for one of these centers. Loan repayment is available for a combined commitment that includes both a minimum number of 20 hours per week, and a minimum number of years of service. Have you worked at an FQHC?

Family, friends and members of the Illawarra business community are mourning the death of former Illawarra Mercury general manager Ian Fell who died yesterday at the age of 83. Mr Fell - who worked at the Mercury from 1967 to 1984 - died peacefully in his sleep at Chesalon Care Woonona. His wife of 57 years, Val, and four children - Catriona, Alex, Rowan and Gordon - came together yesterday to mourn the devoted husband and father who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease six years ago. Despite the diagnosis he never forgot an old friend, according to former Mercury editor Peter Newell, who is now ClubsNSW and Illawarra Steelers chairman. "We had a Mercury reunion a couple of years back and the minute he saw me he said 'G'day Pete'," Mr Newell said. "He was a good man, a gentleman and one of the old-style newspapermen. He was a member of the then Wollongong Club, a businessmen's club, and he was well respected by many in the community." Mr Fell worked his way up the ranks, starting as a copy boy at the former Sydney Sun newspaper and moving to the then Newcastle Sun before coming to the Mercury. "Ian started the weekend that Australia's former Prime Minister Harold Holt disappeared on the Sunday while swimming on a Victorian beach," Mr Newell said. "That was in the days of hot metal newspaper production and Ian put together three pages on Holt's disappearance that Sunday night. "... And that was how he greeted Wollongong." That same work ethic was evident during many historic events, including the Appin mine disaster of 1979, when the Mercury brought out morning and afternoon editions, and throughout a number of industrial upheavals. "There was a long journalists' strike in 1982, and the reporters went out for four to six weeks," Mr Newell said. "Ian put a couple of papers out a week virtually single-handed." Mrs Fell yesterday said after his family and friends, newspapers were her husband's great passion. "He spent 40 years in newspapers," she said. "In the early days he covered big court stories such as the Royal Commission into the Petrov affair in 1954, 55." "When he retired he decided he wanted to do something different and he taught himself carpentry, leatherwork and stained glass work. "But he still wanted his daily newspaper, and loved doing the word games up 'til the end." Daughter Catriona shared a close bond with her father and also worked for many years at the Mercury. "My father was always described to me by everyone who met him as a true gentleman. One who, in his role as the general manager of Illawarra Newspapers, was a fair and just leader. "But to me, he was my dad, my mentor, the reason I went into newspapers and the person who loved me unconditionally. "The biggest compliment I have ever received is from a former Mercury long-timer, who told me often that 'You are just like your father'," she said. Illawarra businesswoman and journalist Janine Cullen met Mr Fell in the early '70s when she started her career as a cadet journalist at the Mercury and said he would be greatly missed. "Ian was always a thorough gentleman and as general manager he provided great common sense to many situations as well as providing a balance for the flamboyant and brilliant editor, the late John Richardson," she said. The funeral notice will be in tomorrow's Mercury.

WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. John Cornyn asked congressional colleagues this week to investigate whether the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) ran a gun-walking program in Texas, the latest in his months-long effort to put the heat on the Obama administration over the controversial Fast and Furious operation. His request came the week after he sponsored a measure in the U.S. Senate that received rare bipartisan support: an oversight requirement that would help bar any future operations like the Arizona-based Fast and Furious. And it got some traction on Wednesday as two lawmakers investigating the program issued another round of questions for the U.S. Department of Justice. The ATF operated Fast and Furious from late 2009 to earlier this year, allowing weapons to cross the Arizona border into Mexico in an effort to trace them to drug cartels. Guns tied to the operation were found near where Border Patrol agent Brian Terry was killed in 2010. In August, Cornyn raised concerns that ATF may have run a similar operation in Texas, something bureau officials have denied. His letter this week to the two Republican lawmakers leading a congressional probe of Fast and Furious — Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Rep. Darrell Issa of California, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee — outlined his concerns. The second-term GOP senator and former Texas attorney general has been one of the most outspoken critics of the now-defunct program and is likely to stay that way as Republicans ratchet up pressure on the Obama administration, particularly U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, whose testimony before lawmakers Cornyn has criticized. “We need to do everything we can to make sure that such a reckless operation like this one is not repeated,” Cornyn told reporters last week. “If we get the answers and we find out who was responsible and held accountable,” he added in a television interview, “then I think that will be worth the effort.” First, he asked the lawmakers to investigate whether the ATF ran a similar gun-walking program in Texas, as allegations by an attorney for a federally licensed gun dealer in Houston may have suggested. Cornyn, who serves on the Judiciary Committee, said the Justice Department had not responded to his request this summer to tell him about any Texas-based programs. Cornyn also asked for an investigation of whether a Texas program “may have been responsible for the murder of” a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, Jaime Zapata, in Mexico in February. Investigators for Grassley and Issa “are anxious to hear the Justice Department’s explanation" for allegation of a Texas program, a spokeswoman for the Judiciary Committee, Beth Levine, told The Tribune in an e-mail. She said the lawmakers would continue to look into the concerns Cornyn raised in the letter. The Justice Department did not respond to The Tribune’s request for comment. On Wednesday, Grassley and Issa picked up Cornyn's inquiry and ran with it, citing the letter as they asked for answers to a long list of new questions about Zapata's death. They also cited an Oct. 11 response from an assistant attorney general who said "ongoing criminal investigations" limit what the Justice Department can say about the issue. Beyond the letters, Cornyn's focus on the program has also included his amendment, which the Senate approved last week 99-0, as well as making Fast and Furious a consistent topic in his weekly conference call with reporters, in his public remarks and, of course, in his Twitter stream. A Justice Department official told The Associated Press the amendment "essentially reflects DOJ policy." Some Democrats have said the ire of Cornyn and other Republicans is misguided. Southern California Rep. Adam Schiff, for example, condemned what he called “politically motivated attacks” on Holder. “The evidence is clear and the Attorney General has been forthright throughout — he was not briefed on the details of Operation Fast and Furious until after the serious problems became public,” Schiff said in a statement. “ … If the House majority is truly concerned about violence in Mexico and not just scoring political points, I suggest they support stronger penalties on firearm traffickers who supply vicious Mexican drug cartels with thousands of weapons.” Texas Democrats' views on the issue vary. El Paso Rep. Silvestre Reyes told the Tribune this summer that the public shouldn’t yet jump to conclusions about Fast and Furious, while Laredo Rep. Henry Cuellar called for the ATF to “come clean.” Cornyn's position is bolstered by some ill will toward the ATF in Texas. A San Antonio gun seller sued the head of the bureau over new reporting rules that came in the wake of Fast and Furious. In any case, Cornyn seems poised to keep pushing. In his letter to Grassley and Issa, he said his constituents deserve answers. “Though their failure to respond is not direct evidence of malfeasance, the Department’s reluctance to address allegations of additional ‘gun-walking’ schemes in my state raises serious questions,” Cornyn wrote, “and Texans deserve a full accounting of the Department’s role in this matter.” Keeping the pressure on the Obama administration accountable also makes Fast and Furious an appealing cudgel for Republicans, including National Republican Senatorial Committee chairman Cornyn, to wield against the administration. “Part of it is just to keep the heat on and frankly the bright light of publicity on this so we can get Eric Holder and the Department of Justice to come clean with the facts,” Cornyn told Greta Van Susteren last week after the passage of his amendment. But ultimately, Cornyn told The Tribune in a statement, it’s about the circumstances of two suspect deaths. “I think we could all agree that the families of Brian Terry and Jaime Zapata deserve nothing less than a full accounting of what happened from this administration,” he said.

A TOWN councillor who says democracy is dead is planning to march with a coffin through Malvern in protest at the policies of district and county councils. Cllr Martin Lawrence is inviting 150 people to help him finance the march and carry the coffin to mark their disgust. Among the policies he objects to are what he calls "the housing free-for-all planning fiasco" and the wheelie bin policy of Malvern Hills District Council, and Worcestershire County Council's decision to spend £8 million on revamping the Ketch roundabout outside Worcester and £165 million on the Hartlebury incinerator. New parking restrictions which he says are killing off local businesses and restrictions on trailers using the tip in Malvern Link have also drawn his wrath. He said: "In recognition that democracy has died, I invite residents and traders to join me in a funeral procession, with a full-size cardboard coffin; starting at Belle Vue Terrace in Malvern,walking to Barnards Green, then on to the dump in Malvern Link. "A cardboard coffin can be purchased from Ebay for just £150 including delivery; if 150 residents wish to chip in £1 each. "they can register their intention to join me, taking turns as pallbearers, by emailing me at firstname.lastname@example.org. If anyone knows of a brass band that can join us that would be great."

Bret Michaels Brings New Guitar, Salad To Station Square Hard Rock Cafe BUTLER (KDKA) – A career music man is now cooking up something special at the Hard Rock Café – and on Bret Michaels Day, no less. In addition to playing a concert in his hometown at the Big Butler Fair, he’s in town to dedicate a custom Gibson guitar to the Hard Rock Café at Station Square. “My dad would bring me down to tailgate parties,” he said. “We would got down and see the Pirates play, the Steelers, the Penguins, Steelers, Pitt. It was just an awesome day to be able to donate this knowing that we live here and I think people will love to be able to come in here and see how intricate the custom work is on this guitar and there’s really one other one like it in the world.” That guitar is in the Steelers locker room. “I’m a barbequer, right?” Michaels said. “So I was working on the Pitts-burger, right? And I was like this is going to be good and all the sudden we segued into a more international flair — so in all my days I never knew that it would happen but the dream has finally come true — the Bret Michaels salad at the Hard Rock.” “It was a perfect fit because it’s high in fiber and high in protein and low in carbs so for what we are trying to accomplish it, it was a perfect salad to put together,” he added. Welcome home Bret – and bon appetit.

26 April 2012 New Lutheran Quote of the Day We do not worship alone in this time and this place and this language. We worship with every generation of the church in one unified liturgy where Jesus Christ and heaven itself are present in word and sacrament. For liturgy to become associated with a particular place in a particular time would seriously hinder the church's expression of the eschatological character of its worship. In every age, liturgy bespeaks a story that is transcultural and trans-temporal. The faithful tell a story in the liturgy which they did not invent but which they have made their own. - Arthur Just, The Devotional Life of the Pastor, in Teach Me Thy Way, O Lord, p. 95.

Nuclear Technology / Volume 168 / Number 3 / December 2009 / Pages 721-727 Proton Therapy / Special Issue on the 11th International Conference on Radiation Shielding and the 15th Topical Meeting of the Radiation Protection and Shielding Division (PART 3) / Radiation Protection A Monte Carlo modeling tool was applied at the Institut-Curie Centre de Protonthérapie d'Orsay, France, to simulate the passively scattered beam line used for treatment of ocular melanoma. The primary aim of this study is to validate the model for subsequent calculation of patient doses due to secondary neutrons. The Monte Carlo code MCNPX is used here to model the geometry of the beam line. The beam parameters at the entrance of the ophthalmologic beam line are not well known (beam emittance, lateral distribution, and energy spread). Hence, to accurately implement the beam source in the model, we need to calculate and measure these parameters in the first step of this study. Then, we perform comparisons between calculated and measured proton absorbed dose profiles under various scattering conditions. Comparisons between calculated and measured depth versus dose profiles show discrepancies <0.6 mm (range) and <1.1 mm (beam size and penumbra) for the lateral dose profiles. Hence, calculated relative dose profiles are considered to be correctly described by the Monte Carlo model. Some improvements are still needed to reproduce absolute dose profiles. This study should lead to the use of the numerical model for radiation protection applications.

| ||Format||Pages||Price|| | |8||$43.00||  ADD TO CART| |Hardcopy (shipping and handling)||8||$43.00||  ADD TO CART| Significance and Use 5.1 Gamma-ray spectrometry is of use in identifying radionuclides and in making quantitative measurements. Use of a semiconductor detector is necessary for high-resolution measurements. 5.2 Variation of the physical geometry of the sample and its relationship with the detector will produce both qualitative and quantitative variations in the gamma-ray spectrum. To adequately account for these geometry effects, calibrations are designed to duplicate all conditions including source-to-detector distance, sample shape and size, and sample matrix encountered when samples are measured. 5.3 Since some spectrometry systems are calibrated at many discrete distances from the detector, a wide range of activity levels can be measured on the same detector. For high-level samples, extremely low-efficiency geometries may be used. Quantitative measurements can be made accurately and precisely when high activity level samples are placed at distances of 10 cm or more from the detector. 5.4 Electronic problems, such as erroneous deadtime correction, loss of resolution, and random summing, may be avoided by keeping the gross count rate below 2000 counts per second (s–1) and also keeping the deadtime of the analyzer below 5 %. Total counting time is governed by the radioactivity of the sample, the detector to source distance and the acceptable Poisson counting uncertainty. 1.1 This practice covers the measurement of gamma-ray emitting radionuclides in water by means of gamma-ray spectrometry. It is applicable to nuclides emitting gamma-rays with energies greater than 45 keV. For typical counting systems and sample types, activity levels of about 40 Bq are easily measured and sensitivities as low as 0.4 Bq are found for many nuclides. Count rates in excess of 2000 counts per second should be avoided because of electronic limitations. High count rate samples can be accommodated by dilution, by increasing the sample to detector distance, or by using digital signal processors. 1.2 This practice can be used for either quantitative or relative determinations. In relative counting work, the results may be expressed by comparison with an initial concentration of a given nuclide which is taken as 100 %. For quantitative measurements, the results may be expressed in terms of known nuclidic standards for the radionuclides known to be present. This practice can also be used just for the identification of gamma-ray emitting radionuclides in a sample without quantifying them. General information on radioactivity and the measurement of radiation has been published (. , ) Information on specific application of gamma spectrometry is also available in the literature (. See also the referenced ASTM Standards in ) and the related material section at the end of this standard. 1.3 This standard does not purport to address the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitation prior to use. 2.

Review: Nokia N97 I'm not quite as frustrated with some of the things that Eric is. For example, I have no problem with the touchscreen being resistive because it might be the best resistive touchscreen I've ever used. I'm also a little bit surprised with his complaints about the body. It's disappointing that the N-Series development team has not found a way to equal the products created by its E-Series counterparts but I can't go as far as to say that I think the N97 feels cheap (other than maybe the battery cover). Ultimately, I agree that the phone is not worth the listed $700 price tag. I ordered mine when Nokia accidentally had them listed for $250 off, and I think that is right around a reasonable price for this. But I also remember that the N95 was $750 when it first launched and, initially, it was also somewhat panned. But after a few FW upgrades and price drops, it eventually became one of the most popular Nokia phones ever. I can see the same thing happening with the N97. But Nokia really needs to learn to stop releasing phones with what is essentially the beta version of the firmware. It's becoming increasingly crucial to hit home runs right out of the door.

30-06-2005 Article, International Review of the Red Cross, No. 858, by Elizabeth Ferris Faith-based organizations share many characteristics with their secular counterparts and this article identifies some of these similarities as well as some of the differences. It also highlights some of the differences within the faith-based community, particularly between Christian organizations involved in humanitarian assistance. This article examines the role of faith-based organizations, particularly Christian organizations, in humanitarian assistance within the broader context of the NGO world. Following an overview of the historical development of these organizations, the article examines the current context in which faith-based and secular humanitarian organizations operate. The different roles played by these organizations are explored as are some of the difficulties they encounter. The article suggests that much more work is needed in the area of capacity-building of local humanitarian organizations and in the coordination of NGO programmatic work.

Last week I visited a nearby park to get some photos of the budding Cherry Trees: Some not-so Spring-like lighting on these; but isn't that Spring after all? This is a really delicious concoction: Lemon gelatin made with one cup hot water (and the zest and juice of one lemon) and after it cools to room temp you mix in another cup plus a few tablespoons extra of plain yogurt. I used half lowfat (1.5%) and half whole (3.5%) This is divine!~ And perfect for spring/summer. I had TWO FINISHES THIS WEEK! They were even on the same day! The Bunny Biscornu is now a rectangular pillow, and Sweet Bird's stitching is done! Yes, the Pomander balls are still there. I do love them, but they may need a trip to storage at least until the Summer. ;) I love the pearlised glass shank button I used for the cinch on this side. :) I also thought the Clove Bits were fine at the time I took the photo, but... The back is some seersucker I got in NYC. And the button from W***-M***. :D I used a blanket stitch to secure the seams before I whip-stitched the two sides together. I intended to take it out, and still could, but left it because I felt it gave a sweetly whimsical prim touch. Here is Sweet Bird, a spring freebie from The Sampler Girl, posted to her blog Spring 2010. I had a bit of a time picking fibers for it, but in the end I'm satisfied. Now I'm stitching on my November Prairie schooler! I am longing for a lighter stitch, BUT I ALSO want PS and don't want to add another WiP, so~ I'm also working a bit on the Halloween freebie! I'm so nervous about it that I have to take it easy so I don't get overwhelmed. :P Thanks for stopping by, everyone!
