Despite all the negative attributes of Bodog's current game plan, they are starting to do some innovative things which has also given me a spin on one of their ideas. One of which is their new Fight Club for poker.
My Fight Club won't be anything like theirs but it will still deserve the title of Fight Club.
Each week we will all be on at a certain predetermined time and we will play a cash game that is only seated by us. Each player brings one buy in at the predetermined stake. Once you bust, you are out. After you are out, you must continue staying at the table, sat out so no one else can join. We play until all the money at the table is in one person's hands.
As people go out, maybe they can sweat a team member of their choice.
After the entire match is over, we will have a HH history (naturally this can't be done on Bodog) that we can all sit down and review and discuss all plays made. Most importantly, we will have effective stack sizes that will range anywhere from 10 bbs (when one play destroys someone) up to 300bbs (well rake won't allow this) when the match gets HU.
Everyone will care about the money because its winner take all. However, rising blinds will never come into play. We won't have to worry about someone pulling a Cowboy Marco because we will all know each other and if they choose do that we can leave and ban them from the group.
This is a rough draft of the idea and currently I wouldn't even be able to do it (all my money is locked on Bodog for now) however I will have some money on Merge in the near future.
Any interest in a group like this? Obviously this is a rough draft of the idea.

Vineet.jain - sms sending functionality
Though the above method also provides a way to send the sms, but that does NOT seems to be correctly work on MeeGo Harmattan right now, as i have tested on N9 only.The method is:
Qt.openUrlExternally("sms:01234567444" + "?body=" + "bodytext")
I cannot say if the sms sending will work correctly on other platforms like symbian or not as i have not tested on them.
I will also attach a working example project soon for the MeeGo Harmattan target.

Vdharankar - Code Example
Dear Vineet,
It will be nice to club such small article with some other similar kind of code/explanation or a code example demoing the same thingVishal
Vishal Dharankar 21:34, 20 December 2011 (EET)
Hamishwillee - Hi Vishal, what do you mean?This looks like a nice set of three examples on how to use the code. Can you be more specific on what else you'd like it to do?
hamishwillee 08:15, 21 December 2011 (EET)
Vineet.jain - Regarding Article
Hi Vishal,Well i could not found any article depicting the usability of the above method in any sort.Also i used all these methods in my code which i have to search first separately to use them.Thereby i thought it would be good to have all these usability methods at one place. Also though these are very short lines of code, but much usable i suppose.
ThanksVineet

Chanderk - Anything else possible with this function ?
Well, I acknowledge the point raised by Vineet. I wonder is it possible to implement any other functionalists with OpenUrlExternally ? or are these the only possibilities ( SMS, Browser, Phonecall, email )?
I can think of one more Qt.openUrlExternally("geo:55.6124,12.9996") to open maps with the given coordinates.Cheers !
chanderk 19:58, 17 February 2012 (EET)
Vineet.jain - Chanderk - Thanks
hello Chanderk, i have verified the the method you mentioned at my end & added it to the article. Along with that i have also added another method which opens a file located in the device.
Also in future if you feel that you can add/correct any useful info to the article(whether any code, any correction in existing code etc) then feel free to do it.
ThanksVineet

News nacelle first, it collapsed on the ground raising a huge fountain of mud. On the nearby DEWI test site, several wind turbines were standing still, as if wanting to show their sympathy. Taking a closer look, however, they obviously served as a welcome viewing platform for technicians of the wind turbine manufacturers who had been informed of the event. Just before the detonation, the flaps opened and the nacelles were turned into a position for the best view.
The history of the AEOLUS began in autumn 1993, when it was installed in the Jade Windpark in Wilhelmshaven next to the two MONOPTEROS 50 which were later replaced by two Enercon E-66 and one E-112. With a 92 m high tower of prestressed concrete and an installed capacity of 3 MW, the AEOLUS II was one of the largest wind turbines world-wide at that time. The nacelle including rotor had a weight of 162 tons, a single rotor blade of 38.8 m length weighed approximately 9 tons.
The AEOLUS II is a further development of AELUS I, a prototype of which had been installed from 1983 to 1990 on the Swedish island of Gotland.

Manassas, Va., Jan 16, 2013 / 12:03 am (CNA).- The Cardinal Newman Society has named veteran journalist and author Tim Drake as its senior editor and director of news operations to help advance the group's work in following Catholic education.
“I am absolutely delighted to be utilizing my talents and experience on behalf of The Cardinal Newman Society,” Drake said Jan. 14.
“I am fully aware of their critical support for the Church and all that they do to promote and strengthen Catholic identity on college and university campuses. It’s vital work for the future of our campuses, the Church and our country. There's no other organization like it.”
Patrick J. Reilly, president of the Virginia-based Cardinal Newman Society, said the organization has worked to inform Catholic families who have “a right to authentic, faithful Catholic education.”
“I can’t think of a single person who is better qualified and prepared to improve and expand our operations than Tim Drake, Reilly said. “We are thrilled to have him on our team.”
Drake has worked for the National Catholic Register for 13 years as features correspondent, editor, staff writer and senior writer. He authored a series of articles on the implementation of the canon law requirement that Catholic theology professors receive a “mandatum” from their local bishop affirming that they teach authentic Catholic doctrine. The Cardinal Newman Society awarded Drake its 2003 Ex Corde Ecclesiae Award for the series.
In his new position, Drake will edit the Cardinal Newman Society’s online reporting and member communications.
Drake is the author of six books on topics such as the Catholic Church, Catholic saints and the movie “Bella.” He contributed to the Cardinal Newman Society’s “Newman Guide to Choosing a Catholic College.”
He has published articles in Our Sunday Visitor, Catholic World Report, Catholic Digest, Columbia Magazine, Gilbert! Magazine, This Rock Magazine and other publications. He has been a guest on Vatican Radio, Fox News, Relevant Radio, EWTN and The Catholic Channel on Sirius XM Satellite Radio. He co-hosted the EWTN weekly radio program “Register Radio.”
Drake is a former educator who has worked in both Catholic and public secondary schools.
The Cardinal Newman Society was founded in 1993 to promote faithful Catholic education. It is supported by over 20,000 individuals, businesses and foundations.

Fede wrote:Everybody who experiences pain, suffers pain, in the physically sensitive way. I cut myself, it hurts, you cut yourself - it still hurts.
But I don't dwell, lament, complain, bemoan, throw a hissy fit, that I cut myself. I simply think, "That was careless" and move on.
I suffer pain, but I do not suffer the mental lamentation of having suffered physical pain.
Hi Fede,
A cut? Sure, just move on. But let's not trivialize. There is an immense amount of physical suffering/dukkha in the world, that doesn't go away in 10 minutes like a cut-- relentless pain from hunger, disease, bodily deterioration, etc. That's the kind of pain I was referring to in my response.

The demands have gradually increased over the last three (to my knowledge) years and there are constantly opportunities to do more that she has to let pass because her 'spare' time is already over-committed.
Even without such new commitments, the current state of affairs is barely satisfactory. You probably know yourself that someone whose time is chronically a little over-committed (whatever they are doing), is usually a bit stressed and often a bit rushed. When you see someone in that state because of the community work they are willingly accepting, the impulse is to help, isn't it? That's why I'm interested in your (i.e. everyone's, not just kirk5a's) answers.

I need some help getting a clearer understanding of the Canki Sutta:
Thanissaro Bhikku's translation:
Unknown translator:
The particular passage where the meaning is unclear is the following:
Thanissaro Bhikkhu wrote:"Contemplating is most helpful for exertion, Bharadvaja. If one didn't contemplate, one wouldn't make an exertion. Because one contemplates, one makes an exertion. Therefore, contemplating is most helpful for exertion."
"But what quality is most helpful for contemplating?..."
"Being willing... If one weren't willing, one wouldn't contemplate..."
"But what quality is most helpful for being willing?..."
"Desire... If desire didn't arise, one wouldn't be willing..."
"But what quality is most helpful for desire?..."
Unknown translator wrote:‘Good Gotama, for struggling, what thing is of much help?
‘Bharadvaaja, interest, is of much help for struggling. Without that interest, there is no struggle, therefore that interest is of much help for struggling.’
‘Good Gotama, for interest, what thing is of much help?
‘Bharadvaaja, rightful speculation (* 3), is of much help for interest.. Without the rightful speculating mind, there is no interest, therefore the rightful speculative mind is of much help for interest.’
Bhikkhu Bodhi wrote:25. But what, Master Gotama, is most helpful for application of the will? We ask Master Gotama about the thing most helpful for application of the will."
"Desire is most helpful for application of the will, Bharadvaja. If one does not arouse desire, one will not apply one's will; but because one arouses desire, one applies one's will. That is why desire is most helpful for application of the will."
26. "But what, Master Goata, is most helpful for desire? We ask Master Gotama about the thing most helpful for desire."
"Accepting the teachings as a result of pondering them is most helpful for desire, Bharadvaja. If one does not accept the teachings as a result of pondering them, desire will not spring up; but because one accepts the teachings as a result of pondering them, desire springs up."
As I understand it, the Buddha explains a chain of useful tools in the Canki Sutta (where not noted otherwise, the translation of Bhikkhu Bodhi were used.)
For the arrival at truth --> Striving is most helpful
For striving --> Scrutiny (B.B.) / Contemplating (T.B.) is most helpful
For Scrutiny / Contemplating --> Application of one's will is most helpful
For Application of one's will --> Desire (B.B.) (T.B.) / Interest (Unknown) is most helpful. (?)
For Desire / Interest --> "Accepting the teachings as a result of pondering" them is most helpful
For "Accepting the teachings as a result of pondering" --> Examination of the meaning is most helpful
For Examination of the meaning --> Memorizing the teachings is most helpful
For Memorizing the teachings --> Hearing the Dhamma is most helpful
For Hearing the Dhamma --> Giving ear is most helpful
For Giving ear --> Paying respect is most helpful
For Paying respect --> Visiting is most helpful
For Visiting --> Faith in a teacher is most helpful
It seems unusual to me that Thanissaro Bhikkhu and Bhikkhu Bodhi use the term desire here, where interest made more sense to me. Is this to be understood thus, that desiring to arive at the truth, i.e. a certain longing or craving for nibbana is helpful for applying the mind to examining the truth?
Then again, desire is a term that is usually referd to as tanha, which is an obstruction to insight when one sees desire in the context of craving for the kkhandas. And of course craving for mind objects and the whole field of sankhara-kkhanda is something that obstructs knowledge, too.
So that's why it seems very interesting to me that Bhikkhu Bodhi and Thanissaro Bhikkhu use the term desire here.
What's the meaning of desire in the Canki Sutta? Does the Buddha mean that desire is an essential tool for getting drawn to the truth because when we desire the truth, we follow, investigate and pursue it till we "have it" ? It always looked to me like desire is rather not helpful on the path, but this Sutta draws a different picture ie it also matters what we desire. When we desire the freedom from desire, then this is alright at some point ? (taking into account the Buddha spoke to a Brahmin not familiar with his teachings instead of adressing well-instructed monks or Arahants here. So this may be a more coarse level of instruction on how to pursue the path.)
Bhikkhu Bodhi's translation seems the most understandable to me in that respect, as that "aroused desire" precedes applying the will to pursue something. If there would be no interest and no desire for knowing the truth, in wisdom and in understanding, then one wouldn't apply the mind to this and one wouldn't put any effort in contemplating and arriving at the truth.
Do I get that right?
Thanks for the help!

Decorate your own stuffed animals! These adorable already stuffed critters are covered in a white 100% cotton muslin fabric, perfect for markers and paints! Great idea for classes, kid's Craftsafe™ Crystalina. We think using the Cold Batch Method for painting the dye on would work, because it won't soak into the stuffing so much. The above examples were then decorated with our 3-D Jones Tones fabric paint, which does not need heat setting.

On the one hand I am pleased to see that I am not the only one here feeling this way - though to be honest it doesn't make me angry or hurt, it simply makes reading the responses here more tedious than necessary.
On the other hand, I have concerns that others may be put off this forum and walk away, not finding the answers they need.
So, to those of you that have noticed the same trend as I have - hang in there!
There is a lot of valuable information here and many knowledgable people, who can be of great benefit to you (us). We simply need to see through all the ego/superiority and insults - and take from the posts that which is useful to us.

I wrote the original version of this in August 2006. I made some tweaks here and there, but most of the advice still applies today.
Remember that I am not a medical professional and you may receive different advice from your doctor or dietitian. These are tips that worked for me and I recognize they not work for everyone. I am only referring to type 2 diabetes, not type 1 diabetes. However, I think anyone wanting to stay healthy and lose weight, with or without diabetes, could benefit from the first three of these suggestions.
Keep in mind that you don’t have to overhaul your entire lifestyle overnight. If you’re anything like me, making sweeping changes can lead to failure, so I suggest one small step a week.
Beverages. Eliminate all regular soda consumption. NOW. It contains high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), which is nasty stuff when it comes to glucose levels in the blood. It should be no surprise that a similar substance is used to diagnosis gestational diabetes and type 2 diabetes using an oral glucose tolerance test. A decent substitute is diet soda, but iced tea (with or without artificial sweetener) is a better choice for a caffeine fix if you don’t have caffeine-induced hypertension.
Remember that the most important beverage is water. Drinking significant amounts of it (40-80 oz per day) is beneficial to one’s health.
Food. When choosing foods during grocery shopping, remember these simple rules when looking at food labels. No more than 45 grams of carbohydrates in a single serving, no less than 2 grams of dietary fiber, and no more than 6 grams of sugar. Some would say that an even lower threshold on total carbohydrates is needed, but 45 grams is a good start. (Remember, small steps!)
Exercise. Yeah, I know, I said the dirty word. Starting by exercising three times a week for 30 minutes each time can do a body good – not just for blood sugar levels, but for blood pressure, cholesterol, and dare I say it…mood. You’ll want to work up to doing more exercise, of course, but 90 minutes per week is a great beginning. Now that I exercise regularly four or five times a week for approximately 40 minutes each time, I feel like crud (emotionally and physically) if I miss too many days in a row.
Monitoring blood sugar levels. I believe it is helpful to self-monitor your blood sugar levels, even if you are controlling your type 2 diabetes with only diet and exercise. I’m not saying to test after every single meal or even every single day, but often enough to notice trends, both good and bad, and often enough to know how your body reacts to certain foods. I was told by a dietitian that steel-cut oatmeal is a good option for those with diabetes, but it took only one blood sugar reading close to 300 mg/dl to realize that it wasn’t a good option for me. (That’s still the highest I’ve ever seen my meter go!)
You will need to discuss with your doctor what he or she likes to see as far as fasting blood sugar readings in the mornings as well as readings after meals.
Be sure to have your A1C tested at least twice a year, if not three or four times. The test measures the amount of glucose sticking to your red blood cells over the previous 2-3 months. Normal is 4.0 to 6.0%, but the AACE (American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists) considers anything below 6.5% to be good control for those with diabetes.
Everyone is different. For some diagnosed with type 2 or pre-diabetes, there is only a genetic factor for diabetes and for some, there is a genetic factor for both diabetes and obesity. Treatment varies from person to person, as do results. For some, losing weight and maintaining healthy eating and exercise patterns is enough. For others, oral medications and/or insulin must be added to keep blood sugars in control.
Pre-diabetes. If you have been told you have pre-diabetes, do what you can to live like you’ve already received a type 2 diabetes diagnosis. It’s easy to achieve lower blood sugars quickly after a pre-diabetes diagnosis, but then go back to one’s old ways just as quickly when it seems you’re no longer in danger.
Learn about the disease. I believe being highly involved in one’s own medical care helps. It can be empowering to play an active role by asking questions at doctor appointments, rather than sitting back in a passive role while a doctor tells you what to do. Magazines like Diabetes Self-Management and websites such as dLife provide excellent information on disease mechanisms and the latest treatments.
It is not easy dealing with type 2 diabetes. Sometimes the motivation to exercise isn’t there, sometimes there’s an intense craving for Ben and Jerry’s chocolate fudge brownie ice cream, and sometimes monitoring blood sugar and taking medication can be overwhelming. Sometimes the motivation quickly increases, the craving quickly fades, and the desire to take control of one’s health quickly returns. But when it all seems too much to handle, counseling and/or support groups can help. (Hint, hint, the forums here at Diabetes Daily are especially helpful when you’re down and out!)

Smoking is like increasing the cost of reasonable care by a considerable amount. It wasn’t until I quit and found that the hypoglycemic reactions plagued me for three days without any further changes to my regimen. I went from 40u NPH to 30 and am now on 21 of Lantus since its release a few years ago. The cessation put 40% of my cost back in my pocket. I can’t help but smile about the long-running effects. It’s good advice for anyone. It’s a must for diabetics.Posted by PatientDiligence | Aug 26, 2007 at 12:44 am

i will appreciate if u help me by replying me back withe correct measures…
Very interesting article. Personally, I have noticed when I smoke cigarettes, if my numbers are stable at the moment (between 100-150), I do not have any issues. Although, if my numbers are higher or lower, they tend to stay in that glucose range, or sometimes even go more high or low due to the smoking.Posted by Jake | Apr 02, 2013 at 10:02 pm | http://www.diabetesselfmanagement.com/blog/tara-dairman/new_risk_of_smoking_found_for_type_1/ | 2013-05-18T10:21:57 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Graffiti for Gals
Anonymous artist Streetcolor talks about "yarn bombing" a new kind of street art.
Streetcolor
Recently, a vibrant, whimsical piece of street art appeared near the Orinda Public Library. Someone had painstakingly knitted a multi-colored covering for the bicycle rack.
That someone calls herself “Streetcolor,” and this piece is one of the many “yarn bombs” the Berkeley resident has created around the Bay Area. Yarn bombing, stealth knitting, yarn storming—call it what you will, this graffitilike movement with a cozy, domestic twist has taken off worldwide.
Streetcolor, who likes to remain anonymous, says she began yarn bombing for fun. “I liked the strong visual attraction to how the knitting looked outside. I didn’t know much about graffiti or street art.” With each new installation she did, the details of which she chronicles online (streetcolor.wordpress.com), the artist became more intrigued by the reactions her work provoked, which were largely positive compared to the usual response to graffiti, which is often seen as adding to the urban blight.
“Traditional graffiti is mostly done by men and can be very aggressive—sometimes beautiful but often intimidating,” says Streetcolor. “I realized that yarn bombing was the inverse of that: It’s soothing, pleasing, and luxurious.”
Not all yarn bombing is greeted with enthusiasm. A striped piece of knitting (not by Streetcolor) on a lamp pole outside Walnut Creek Yacht Club in February was swiftly removed by the city, with the admonition that decorating public property without permission was a no-no. | http://www.diablomag.com/Diablo-Magazine/August-2011/Graffiti-for-Gals/ | 2013-05-18T11:02:09 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Netanyahu Controls Obama’s Fate
If Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to seal President Obama’s fate, all he has to do is to attack Iran. It is clear from Obama’s AIPAC speech that the president will continue to talk about diplomacy and sanctions for the remainder of his term and will take no military action against Iran. If Israel attacks Iran, she will achieve three things:
a. Israel will buy time by delaying the Iranian nuclear program by one to three years.
b. Those extra years will give the effective sanctions, only now being imposed, time to work.
c. derail permanently the Iranian nuclear program.
Obama could never recover from the run-up of oil prices that would follow an Israeli attack. His refusal to approve the Keystone Pipeline, to drill in the ANWR reserve, and to issue permits for deep sea drilling, all make him ultra-vulnerable on the gas price issue. He has no good answers on the subject.
A huge increase in gas prices at the pump will also send the world into the same kind of oil shock.

What You Should Know
View Our Top Choice Today!
The New Day, Your Way program is funded by Kmart. The company invites dieters to join a weight loss contest in January of each year. Contestants are asked to weigh in several times during the 16-week program. There is no specific diet that must be followed, but dieters must lose a minimum of two pounds every two weeks to stay in the game. Weigh ins are also used to ensure dieters are not losing too quickly, though we have no idea how the company reacts to people losing lots of weight. Some diets, like the Atkins diet, can cause more than average weight loss for the first month or two. Each weigh-in, leaders win cash and prizes. At the end of the New Day, Your Way contest winners are given makeovers, photo shoots and a long list of other prizes.
List of Ingredients
Weight loss contest by Kmart.
Product Features
The official website for the New Day, Your Way program is still live, but it has not been updated since 2008. The program may no longer be signing up new contestants each January. The weight loss and dieting tips and information are still available, however, for free. Dieters can read through the articles to learn more about healthy weight loss and the New Day, Your Way program. The program is clearly designed for women as no men are pictured on the official website. There is no mention of the program being for women only, however, so we assume men can join the contest as well.
Under the “Eat Well” tab, dieters are given advice on how to determine real hunger and mental factors that cause weight gain. Dieters can also learn about keeping fit, metabolic rate and flexibility. Sections on motivation and beauty are also available.
Tools and trackers are available free for contestants. These include a BMI Calculator, Special Event Calculator and Slim-Fast Plan Guide. The contestant must log in to gain access to the Slim-Fast information.
The link provided to register for the program in 2008 is no longer active. We did not find links for the program beyond 2008. Chances are, the Kmart company no longer holds the contest, but the company leaves the information online for general weight loss support for previous contestants and dieters seeking such information.
Advantages
- There is no cost to red through weight loss and general health articles.
- Supports healthy eating and exercise.
- Contestants win prizes for losing weight.
Disadvantages
- No longer an active program by Kmart.
- Aimed primarily at women.
Conclusion
New Day, Your Way was a unique way to lose weight and gain cash and prizes for doing so. The program, sponsored by Kmart, is no longer active, but dieters can read through the health and weight loss information available on the official website, free. | http://www.dietspotlight.com/new-day-your-way-review/ | 2013-05-18T10:52:17 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
It’s always good to take a peak inside agencies to get a feel for the place, especially if you might work there one day.
One way to scout out potential future employers is today’s WalkaboutNYC’s agency tour event. Walkabout NYC is an event put on every year for the past three years by Harvest, a time-tracking and invoicing app startup. WalkaboutNYC is meant to be a behind-the-scenes look at the people and places fueling creative, technological and entrepreneurial culture in New York City. It is a day when companies open up their offices to the public so that people can come and visit and see where and how the work is done. In the past, the focus has been on the tech community, but this year the organizers decided to add a second event that highlights the creative agencies. Today starting at noon, creative agencies like Huge, Big Spaceship, Campfire and others will be open for you to go in and take a peak at their workspaces. Naama Bloom, marketing lead at Harvest, took time to talk about Harvest’s WalkaboutNYC agency edition event.
See the event schedule here.
How did you guys get the idea for it?
Danny Wen and Shawn Liu, Harvest’s co-founders have always been interested in design, the spaces where people work, and how work gets done. They have visited many work spaces around the city and thought that other people might also like this opportunity. So we built this event as a way to give back to the community.
Why start an agency edition? Why is it important for agencies to open themselves up to the public?
Harvest, the time-tracking software that we make, is used primarily by agencies and consultancies. Because they are our customers, we often get to visit them. Each time we do customer visits, we leave excited and inspired by what we’ve found. We realized that many of the best creative agencies in New York are our customers, and so we were in a position where we could enable this type of event. These agencies are really at the cutting edge of the creative and digital world, and they have so much to offer. There is a really vibrant creative community in New York City. We hope that they will be inspired when they get behind the scenes. As well, we’d think the agencies will benefit from all of the great energy of the day.
Who do you expect to attend and want to see inside agencies?
It will be a mix. A lot of freelancers, students and other agency folks. We have also seen that these events have a lot of crossover appeal. I expect that many of the technologists who went on our tech WalkaboutNYC will be visiting the agencies.
Agencies are all about their cool office culture. What is it about agency culture that is so attractive?
Well, these agencies in particular are doing incredible work and redefining how work gets done. Yes, the offices are beautiful, but these agencies are reinventing how people actually create. They use all the newest tools, they often have flat structures, and they are very transparent with their employees.
Outside of the office, what is the role of the agency in the community, if any?
New York is known as a creative and design center in large part because agencies like this exist. Our city is more diverse and interesting because they are all here. | http://www.digiday.com/agencies/walkaboutnyc-event-opens-up-agency-offices/ | 2013-05-18T10:40:44 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
I was re-reading George R.R. Martin's "Clash of Kings" at the time and a blood-red comet figures prominently in the story. The cyclical, returning, nature of the comet really inspired me.
The comet was created and rendered in Apophysis and composed in Lightwave into a sky-spanning "planet" plate for Vue d'Esprit.
Updated 6/22/11: I've added a blood-red version of this image (for Ice and Fire fans) in the Pickle Jar!
"we are the music-makers and we are the dreamers of dreams" -- O'Shaughnessy | http://www.digitalblasphemy.com/preview.shtml?i=harbinger2k91&m=z | 2013-05-18T10:40:53 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Remember all the things you promised people you'd do “when pigs fly”? Well, its time to start delivering on those promises because Roger is here and he's airborne! Admittedly, he does make a speedy return to terra firma but let that not detract from the fact that he does fly at least for a limited time. How far he travels is up to you though, as you send him on his way with a few taps of your fingers. This arcade style “ski-jump” game is entertaining, quite challenging and allows for simple pass-and-play rivalry as well as measuring your achievements on a worldwide scale.
You may be tempted to get straight into the game but it might be worth questioning WHY a pig is flying. Turns out that our mate Roger was in fact raised by ducks. Probably not a common scenario, but if you were a lost young piglet you could do worse than being adopted by a family of ducks. Unfortunately for Roger, his abandonment issues are further compounded by the fact that ducks migrate, leaving him behind as they fly off into the sunset. But Roger is a determined little porker who makes his way to the top of a ski ramp in the hope that launching himself skyward will grant him the ability to stay in the air.
Its up to you to make this happen for our pink piggy hero. Start by tapping “Jump” to get him on his way and as he slides down the ramp he'll gather speed. To help Roger in his quest for the skies you will see some foodstuffs hovering over the ramp attached to balloons. Pop the balloons at the right time and they'll drop into Roger's path where he'll gobble them up. Burgers give him a speed boost while cupcakes will give him the ability to bounce further and both are vital for improving your distance. As you near the end of the ramp simply tap “Jump” again for one final burst of speed then watch all your hard work come to fruition as Roger soars through the air and bounces along as far as he can.
The developer, MagiCode Games (who is, incredibly, just one person!) have provided us with two game modes: Arcade and Challenge. In Arcade mode you will attempt to get the furthest distances on your jumps and as you progress you will be awarded with better speed and bounce abilities to help you out. In Challenge mode you have three sub-categories: Distance, Apples and Signs. Distance is pretty straightforward; try to get as close to the distance marker as you can by varying the amount of speed you start off with on your descent. Apples is probably the most difficult of the Challenge modes because you need to collect apples as you hurtle along. Some apples hover in mid-air and some are along the ground so working out the prefect trajectory for your jump is the key to success here. Finally, Signs mode is all about the bounce; try to keep Roger from hitting any of the signs on the course by keeping him high up in the air for longer periods of time. Earning stars on the Challenge mode will unlock new costumes for Roger to wear.
An important feature for a game like this is the ability to compare your achievements with others and Roger the Flying Pig does not disappoint. Sporting full Game Center and OpenFeint integration, players can compare scores with their friends and other players from around the world. Graphically, the game is appropriately cartoonish for its content and the music and sound effects are equally congruent and even though the game design isn't the best, it does nothing to detract from the gameplay or the overall vibe of the game.
A well executed game, Roger the Flying Pig is a fun little app that is both challenging and rewarding. A nice variation on the “ski-jump” idea, players will have their hands full trying to perfect their jumps and earn bragging rights across the world. Though limited in content, Roger the Flying Pig has the potential keep bringing players back for “just one more go”.

Ridley Scott will debut the new trailer for his science fiction blockbuster Prometheus at WonderCon later this month.

Coronation Street star Alan Halsall is planning to pop the question to his girlfriend Lucy-Jo Hudson.
The actor, who plays Tyrone Dobbs on the ITV1 soap, has just returned from a trip to South Africa, where Hudson spends six months each year filming for Sunday night drama Wild At Heart. Pals have revealed that he is flying back out to see her in October - and will be taking an engagement ring with him.
A source told the Daily Star Sunday: "He hates to be so far apart from her and would fly out to see her every day if he could. They have talked about marriage in the past but nothing has happened until now. But Alan's got something up his sleeve and I think Lucy-Jo will like it!"
Halsall met Hudson on the set of Coronation Street and reports revealed that the pair had started dating in February 2005. Lucy-Jo's final scenes on the soap aired in April of the same year. | http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s3/coronation-street/news/a69759/weatherfield-actor-planning-to-propose.html?rss | 2013-05-18T10:32:20 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Guess who's back... back again. Celebrity Big Brother returns in the New Year, and there's a bagful of reasons for us to rub our hands gleefully at the latest run of the daddy of reality shows.
© Channel 5
With probably the show's coolest ever promo campaign, a whole heap of exciting rumoured housemates (Cocozza! Giggs! Lohan!) and the promise of a more "evil" Big Brother second time around on Channel 5, there's should be no excuse for not tuning in on January 5.
To get you in the mood for the show's return, Reality Bites gave Brian Dowling a call to find out the latest Big Brother gossip.
It feels like Big Brother only just ended and it's back again?
"That's because it only just f**king has, Alex! It only just has."
What's the recipe for a great Celebrity Big Brother?
"A recipe for a great Celebrity Big Brother would be a spoonful of glamour, a teaspoon of aggression and a big helping of fun."
When do you find out the lineup?
"Because we've got Christmas and New Year, I'll probably find out on January 3, the day of our first proper rehearsal. They'll take me in a locked room with no phone line or internet, tell me the lineup and then leave me there until the launch."
I know people who work on the show already know the lineup. Do you not ask for some details?
"All the time. I've offered sex and alcohol for details, but nobody has accepted. But do you know what? I'd rather wait and find out as late as possible. I enjoy the build-up and excitement. Even letting me [know on] the day of the launch is a bit of a risk because I will just tell everybody."
Who is on your Celebrity Big Brother wishlist?
"There are a lot of people on my wishlist. Barbara Windsor, Jane McDonald, Britney Spears."
Why Babs Winsdor and Jane McDonald?
"I think someone like Barbara Windsor, everyone loves her and it would be great to see her on a normal everyday basis. Jane McDonald has lived a great life, she worked on a cruise ship, she's very funny and would be amazing."
Who are your favourites ever celebrity contestants?
"I quite liked George Galloway when he pretended to be the cat with Rula Lenska. 'Ohh you're a naughty cat... purrr'. That was amazing. I thought Pete Burns was a brilliant housemate. I thought Jade Goody was a great housemate with her family. I thought that was a great year. It was a very controversial year, but putting her family in was something that hadn't been done before. Obviously the first one with Claire Sweeney and Vanessa Feltz was great as well. We had a proper meltdown with Vanessa in the house."
Why do you think the celeb version is still such a ratings draw?
"I think it is fascinating. It's getting to see celebrities in the parts of the day we never get to see. From the moment they get up to the moment they go to bed. When we see that part of them in Big Brother, we see what they are really like. I think if you attach the word celebrity to anything people are just interested."
Do you keep an eye on rival reality shows like I'm a Celebrity?
"I watch I'm a Celebrity. I think a lot of people thought the names weren't that good this year. But I think that's a quite good thing from the casting team. We then watch the show and we see different sides of people and we see their characteristics. I don't think you need A-list celebrities to have a hit celebrity reality show. I think it's about the characters, the situations and the trials that they have to do."
It's usually the people you've never heard of that are the most interesting?
"I like that. If you already know everything about people and have views on them already it's less interesting. I think that's what was great about Paddy Doherty in the last series. He won the series, but at the start nobody knew anything about him. People warmed to him through the show, he showed a vulnerable side and people loved him and voted for him because he showed himself to be a lovely, gentle man."
Do you think Big Brother is still relevant in the era of scripted reality shows?
"I think the thing about Big Brother is that it's an original reality show. It's a proper reality. What you see happens. With these new scripted shows, a lot of it is false, a lot of it is fake. It's been edited together. In Big Brother, you see the start of something, the middle and the end. It's not scripted. And it is, and always will be, the original reality show.
"There are a lot of scripted reality shows out there doing well, but I think Channel 5 have responded to that by making Big Brother much slicker. I think the packages are better, the music's better, it's more American - I like that. That was something about different Big Brother this year. It targeted a a younger audience and I think the number of 15-35 year-olds trebled from what it was before. We're now making a show for younger people."
Watch the trailer for Celebrity Big Brother 2012:
Do you think Channel 5's changes were a response to TOWIE and Made In Chelsea?
"I think it's partly that. I also think the show has run very successfully for 10 years on a different channel. By moving to Channel 5 it could suddenly change lots of things. If they'd made big changes on Channel 4, people would have said, 'Why change a hit?' The move to Channel 5 was a fresh start and it meant the producers could make the show that they want to make. They could make the show sexier.
"I think the changes were proved right when the ratings came in and we had over 5 million viewers on the launch. I wasn't expecting that. It was the best figures Channel 5 have ever got, and they held throughout the celebrity series and normal series.
"On Friday night evictions even at the end with the normal series, we were beating BBC Two and Channel 4 in the slot. Sometimes all the channels. When we beat things like Million Pound Drop on Channel 4, that was an 'oh my God!' moment. To beat shows like that in the ratings was a real achievement."
What themes would you like Big Brother to have in 2012?
"I think for the celebrity one it needs to be much darker. I think the first time around last year they got a very easy ride. But for the normal one, well, it's the 13th series. 13 is traditionally unlucky. So maybe it will be a bit more evil. We don't want it to be too easy in there do we, Digital Spy?"
Have you had a wedding invite from Big Brother 12 lovebirds Jay McKray and Louise Cliffe?
"I've not got the invite yet, but I'm hoping to get one very, very soon. I can't believe I might have my own Big Brother wedding. I feel like Cilla Black. I need to find myself a hat! I don't hang around with the contestants though outside of the house. I'm probably way too old for them these days."
Were you shocked by some of the things that they said in their exit interviews? There was a lot of poo talk from the pair of them.
"I wasn't shocked, because I'd seen them unravel across the series. But I think what was shocking through the weeks was the fact that the more shocking he was, the more she seemed to fall for him. Louise was never shocked or appalled by anything that he did and she seemed to like the fact Jay was so down to earth. I think that is a good basis for a long, steady relationship."
Right, some Celebrity Big Brother rumours. Would you like Natasha Giggs in the house?
"Oh my God. I think that was such a huge story. The alleged affair, the gagging order in court... I think if she is going and she is willing to talk about it, and legally can talk about it, that will be amazing.
"I think it's the greatest real life soap story. It involves a family, it involves two brothers, it involves an alleged injunction, it involves a footballer, it involves a reality TV star... it's like a Jackie Collins novel. I think people can't get enough of that story. But I won't know until January sadly if it's true."
And Frankie Cocozza...?
"I just hope it's something that Frankie is able to do. Not just physically and logistically, but mentally.
"Obviously he's had a tough time with the X Factor thing, but I think Frankie only ever really wanted to be famous. I don't think he ever really cared about being a singer. So from that perspective, I could imagine him doing it.
"I think he'd be a great name to get in there. It just depends whether it is something he wants to do. He'll be going from one great show to another and it will be fascinating to see him in the house... if it's true. If it's true."

Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark will return to Broadway this June with new songs and an altered storyline.

U2's Bono and The Edge have written new songs for the musical, which shut down earlier this year.
The relaunched production will also feature new choreography and a revamped story, reports Rolling Stone. Producers have confirmed that the show will return to the stage on June 14.
Broadway veteran Phil McKinley replaced original director Julie Taymor in March.
Taymor, who resigned from the production, previously expressed frustration over the negative reviews that the musical received during her time as director.
It was previously reported that changes to the musical could include a strengthening of the love story between Peter Parker and Mary Jane, a clarifying of the Green Goblin's role in the play, and a reduction in the appearances of the villain Arachne, created by Taymor. | http://www.digitalspy.com/celebrity/news/a315475/bono-the-edge-pen-new-spider-man-songs.html | 2013-05-18T10:26:35 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Cinar replaces ongoing artist Nicola Scott, who was previously solicited for issue #7. It is unclear whether or not she will return after his issues.
The artist was formerly working on The Fury of Firestorm, with Dan Jurgens replacing him and Joe Harris as both penciller and writer on the title.
The news comes as part of the most recent artistic shakeup of DC's line, with Alberto Ponticelli replacing Mateus Santoluocco as ongoing artist for Dial H and Ivan Reis and Joe Prado taking over from Jim Lee Justice League while Ardian Syaf steps into the pair's shoes on Aquaman. | http://www.digitalspy.com/comics/news/a408596/earth-2-gets-yildiray-cinar-fill-in.html | 2013-05-18T11:02:55 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Next week's results show will also mark the first appearance of Tommy Hilfiger on the show. The fashion designer joined the program this week as an image advisor for the finalists, to help them work on defining their stage performances and cultivating their style.
This week's American Idol results show saw Jeremy Rosado become the first of the Top 13 singers to exit the competition.
Rosado was revealed to have polled the fewest number of public votes of all the males, while Elise Testone ranked bottom among the female singers.
© Fox / Michael Becker
In a twist to mark the show's 400th episode, judges Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson then had to choose which contestant to send home, ultimately opting for Rosado, who had entered the Top 13 as a judges' wildcard pick.
The male contestants had performed tracks by Stevie Wonder the previous night, while the females had taken on songs by the late Whitney Houston.
Last season's runner-up Lauren Alaina and Mary J. Blige, who served as a mentor this week, both performed.
American Idol airs Wednesdays and Thursdays on Fox.

I'm not sure if there's a Mari forum, but I figured this post was more suited to this general forum anyway...
So I've been watching several Mari videos, and while the DT guys do their usual teaching excellence, I can't help but feel that Mari seems to be rather burdened down with options and settings, not to mention what appears to be a really unusual and time-consuming design.
Not like I have a problems with options though! What I mean is it seems that every three seconds you have to change something else that takes your attention away from the actual job-at-hand of texture painting: Continuous selecting/deselecting, edge mask on/off/on/off/on/off..., rotate, bake, rotate, zoom, clear buffer...
I could go on and on, but what I'm saying is I don't see how Mari could be in any way efficient and aside from the ability to use 30K textures, I don't see any advantage it may have over, say, Mudbox, Zbrush, Body Paint or even Photoshop.
On the other hand, I consider a strictly projection-based approach to be almost 'counter-3D', or at least counter-intuitive, and it seems to create more problems than solutions.
No, I don't have Mari. I was thinking about giving the trial a whirl, but I'm not so sure I see the point of that after watching some of the videos.
So what am I missing here? Obviously there are those who consider it to be a powerful program, possibly even some new industry standard, but it seems like it could suck the creativity right out of you with all the messing about in the interface that seems to need to be constantly done.
On the other hand, while Mudbox may not be quite as capable as Mari (and I'm not so sure if that's even a fair statement), I can load a model into Mudbox and just get at it without half an hour of project setup, and never-ending changing of options - I can just paint and sculpt and be creative and have fun AND get my project done quickly.
Mari, in a nutshell (IMO), just looks like entirely too much work for not much additional benefit, but on top of that it just doesn't look very 'fun' - like using an abacus instead of a calculator, just so you can say "I can use an abacus".
Again, this isn't in any way any kind of criticism against Justin, Kyle, or Eddie - they do their unwavering and professional best as always. | http://www.digitaltutors.com/forum/showthread.php?31440-Missing-the-point-of-Mari&s=207fee44b943434dddc273c9ff028218&p=121201 | 2013-05-18T10:52:54 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Oxygen is an American cable television specialty channel owned by NBCUniversal.). The company's cable network Oxygen launched on February 2, 2000.
TV studios were initially located at Battery Park City near the World Trade Center. It was knocked off the air on September 11, 2001; the Time Warner all-news cable television channel NY1 was broadcast to all Oxygen subscribers across the country until the studio reopened within a week after the attack.[1]
The network's studios have subsequently consolidated in the Chelsea Market, a former Nabisco factory at 15th Street and Ninth Avenue in New York.
The channel originally began as an interactive service focusing on original programming with some reruns (such as Kate & Allie), and featured a black bar at the bottom of the screen (referred to as "the stripe" it occupied the bottom 12% of the screen) which would show various information (the interactive part involved the channel's website); the technique was cloned by Spike's precursor The New TNN. Today, the stripe has long been dropped, and the channel focuses chiefly on reality shows, reruns, and movies, and airs week-after repeats of The Tyra Banks Show and is directed towards women. The yoga/meditation/exercise program "Inhale" was the last inaugural Oxygen program on air into the channel's NBC Universal era, albeit in repeats. It was canceled in 2010.
Campus Ladies, Bliss, Oprah After the Show, Talk Sex with Sue Johanson, The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, Snapped, Girls Behaving Badly and The Bad Girls Club, a reality series, are some of the signature shows on the channel. Geraldine Laybourne was the service's founder, chairman, and CEO, staying with the channel until the NBCU sale. Competitors to the channel include Lifetime (incidentally, its parent company is 15% owned by Oxygen's parent company) and WE tv. Oxygen has been available on DirecTV for many years, and arrived on Dish Network in early 2006 during that provider's carriage conflict with Lifetime.
On October 9, 2007, NBCUniversal announced it would be purchasing Oxygen for $925 million.[2] The sale was completed on November 20, 2007. NBC Universal's cable division announced at an industry upfront presentation on April 23, 2008 that the channel would see a rebranding and new logo on June 17, 2008,[3][4] and in the months since the sale the Oh! heading was dropped from the channel's visual branding. The logo premiered a week early on June 8, 2008.
For the 2008 Summer Olympics, Oxygen aired events and programming weeknights relating to gymnastics, equestrian, and synchronized swimming. This was merely the second time Oxygen had carried sports, as before 2005, the channel carried a limited schedule of regular season WNBA games produced by NBA TV.
As of late 2008, the channel is available in 74 million American households.
On June 29, 2009, Oxygen premiered Dance Your Ass Off, which is a dancing show that lets people dance while they lose weight.
On April 5, 2010, Oxygen launched its second night of original programming with the fifth season premiere of Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood.
On January 28, 2011, Oxygen became part of Comcast as part of the buyout agreement by Comcast of NBC Universal from GE.[5]
Oxygen HD is a high definition simulcast of Oxygen that launched in March 2011. It is currently available on Verizon Fios, AT&T U-verse and on Time Warner Cable systems in New York, New Jersey, Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Wisconsin.[13] channels, and excludes non-ad supported channels (e.g., pay cable, Disney), sports, news channels and channels.

Billy Unger talked with PopCandies TV as he was leaving the NYLON Magazine party last night (April 10, 2012). The "Lab Rats" actor talked about how he would love to play Spider-Man. He says that he loved playing Spider-Man when he was little. He went on to say, "If I had the powers of Spider-Man, I'd be set!"
PS: That was Billy's sister, Erin Unger, who stepped out of the filming.

Written By: Ernst Schneidereit
After the World Cup, there should be no question worldwide that soccer is Germany's number one sport. In the Rhineland town of Mainz, however, a dedicated group of disc golfers are trying to at least encourage Germans to consider a second sport. They have created a short public course at the Mainz Volkspark and a longer challenge on the Mainz Greenbelt near the historic Citadel. Both offered the opportunity to test the new Aerobie Sharpshooter #1, the Innova Wraith Pro Line and the Lightning Upshot #2.
The Volkspark course (map here) favors a sidearm thrower or understable discs on most of its six official holes. It follows a square pattern around the southeastern side of the park. Watch out for the pathways surrounding this area, as the course designers consider them OB for baskets inside the square. An OB fence also threatens on holes 2, 3, 5 and 6. That and large trees make for the only complications on an otherwise easy layout.
For this course the Wraith worked just fine. Offered as an Extra Long Range Driver, it follows a straight path rather easily, with a medium amount of fade. Sidearm throws work fine, but you must start it really low on the release to keep it from climbing too much.
The Greenbelt (Grüner Gürtel) course is only about two kilometers from the Volkspark and works its way around the forested moat and high walls of the Mainz Citadel (Zitadelle). Number seven is the “signature” hole, as it features a narrow fairway and a hole guarded its entire length by the deep and inaccessible moat on the left side. Losing the Wraith here on our second-time through was a definite downer, literally and metaphorically. (Word to the cheap or the wise: Don't try to cut the corner to the target. In addition, climbing the two locked gates that lead to this section of the moat will not necessarily lead to finding your disc.)
While the Greenbelt is only 12 holes and an object course at this time, it's a fine complement to the six-hole Volkspark, featuring better routing and scenery. The map - (look for two links at the bottom of this page), is not yet in the PDGA Directory, but is very exact and a little time will allow you to easily discover most object trees and teeing areas. Baskets are a future goal for the Mainz disc golfers.
With the Wraith gone, I was pushed to put the Aerobie Sharpshooter #1 Precision Long Range Driver into use. “Precision” describes the unforgiving nature of this disc on release. Without a practiced and precise anhyzer throw, you will get nothing out of this disc. A quick and heavily overstable turn will be the result of a flat release and forget it if you occasionally release hyzer. (For the a great discussion of the differences between these types of throws, see Disc Golf Review Angles). Sidearm throwing works, but without real results. Distance is as described-not extra long. If you prefer and consistently use a anhyzer release, however, you will enjoy the s-curve flight path you get from the #1. Others who like the Aerobie brand will probably want to stick with the previous driver release, the unusual Epic (reviewed at Disc Fly).
Strangely enough, both of Aerobie's driver releases are expert level discs. Their approach disc (Sharpshooter #2, reviewed in our last article) and putters, however, are worthwhile additions to the beginner to professional arsenal. The Upshot #2 likewise falls into this category.
The Upshot #2 was my putter and approach disc for this European trip. The first time I needed to make a hard throw, its seriously understable flight path surprised me. Did I make a mistake on the release? No. I found it to be understable and very accurate as an approach disc. This is now my third approach disc, complementing the straight Discraft Wasp Elite Z and the stable Elite X Discraft MRV. While I tagged a 100 ft. birdie with this disc, I found it mediocre when used for short putting and in windy conditions, you might prefer a disc with a leaner profile, like the Innova Wolf.
Another note for visiting German disc golf courses: 1) most park users have no idea what those baskets or teeing areas are for, and 2) parks are incredibly full on the weekends and evenings, making disc golfing practically impossible. This makes early morning or weekday use an absolute necessity. Otherwise, you'll find baskets holding barbecue and picnic supplies, being used for soccer practice or generally worthless for their intended application.
There is hope, however, for the Mainz disc golf group. When we were playing, a nearby P.E. class of some thirty teenagers was seen receiving instruction on playing the course. So the future may find Deutschland adopting disc golf. | http://www.discfly.com/category~categoryid~746~startpage~1.html | 2013-05-18T10:12:50 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Founded
by self-identified “revolutionary socialists” in 1986 to combat
“the ascendancy
of Reaganism,” Solidarity today seeks,
by means of “activist
work,” to “build a revolutionary socialist movement in the
working class and allied sectors of the oppressed.” Foremost among the oppressed, in Solidarity's estimation, are nonwhites who
suffer the sting of the ubiquitous racism
that creates “poverty and misery for millions” of Americans. To counteract such
institutionalized bigotry, Solidarity supports “the struggle for
affirmative action” and other compensatory measures designed to help “people
of color” to “figh[t] for dignity and power and self
determination.”
Solidarity
identifies women
as a second “oppressed” demographic who, as a result of conservative misogyny, not only are paid
inordinately low wages for their labor, but also must ward off constant attempts to deprive them of their “reproductive
rights.” To address these alleged problems, Solidarity fights
for what it terms “women's liberation” and “women's equality.”
Beginning in the early 1990s, Solidarity was part of the “clinic
defense” movement that “pushed back violent attacks against
women and healthcare workers, and mobilized with others against the
physical blockades of reproductive health clinics.” Today the organization supports
"equal-pay" legislation giving female plaintiffs greater latitude to
seek legal restitution for alleged workplace discrimination.
Solidarity
also supports
“lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) liberation,”
on behalf of this third broad category of the “oppressed.”
Specifically, the organization condemns “the
existing heterosexual family system” that “forces children into
a rigid, heterosexual mold, and oppressive, limited definitions of
masculinity, femininity and sexuality.” Further, says Solidarity,
homosexual partnerships should be granted “equal recognition and
support with married and unmarried heterosexual couples”; lesbians
and gay men should have “full rights to custody of their
children”; and “the unjustified bias in adoption and foster
placement toward 'traditional' or 'normal' households must be
eliminated.”
By
Solidarity's reckoning,
the aforementioned demographic groups are among the many inevitable victims of capitalism,
“an outmoded social system now deep in crisis.” "Humanity will only be freed from the barbarism of
war, environmental devastation, poverty, unemployment and declining
living standards for millions," Solidarity says, "when capitalism has been displaced by a
rational, planned, democratic, and participatory economic system:
socialism."
Solidarity
rejects both
the Republican and Democratic parties as “capitalist” entities that are “fundamentally anti-working
class, racist and sexist”—i.e., insufficiently radical. Consequently, the organization opposes
“any form of participation in, or support for, these parties.”
Rather, “we call for the working class and its allies to form a
new, independent political party that fights for their needs.”
Not
restricting itself solely to issues of domestic politics within the United
States, Solidarity describes itself as an organization of
“internationalists” who “support movements for
self-determination and national liberation throughout the world and
the struggles of workers for better living standards and social and
political power everywhere.” Specifically, it “fight[s] against
U.S. aggression and imperialism” in such far-flung places as
Central and South America, Indonesia, Iraq, the Balkans, and
“Palestine,” among others. In a related endeavor, Solidarity likewise opposes “the buildup of the U.S. war
machine”—calling
for
“unilateral disarmament in the U.S.” while supporting
“the independent peace movements of Eastern
Europe.”
To promote its values and agendas, Solidarity encourages
all of its members to: (a) contribute to the online discussion bulletins
on the organization's website, and (b) attend Solidarity's retreats,
workshops, and “Summer Schools” that focus on strategy, theoretical
development, and “big picture” political and
economic analysis. Some Solidarity members are organized in a caucus
supporting the Fourth International,
which has sections in numerous countries.
Solidarity also produces
Against
the Current,
a bimonthly magazine featuring articles by members as well as
revolutionary activists and intellectuals from social movements around the world. The publication's most notable
advisory
editor
is Noam Chomsky.
Solidarity
has at least 22 local and regional branches
in the United States, based in such major cities as
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington DC, Atlanta, Miami, Chicago,
Baltimore, Boston, Ann Arbor, Detroit, New York, Cincinnati, Houston,
Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Portland (Oregon), Philadelphia, and
Providence.
The Solidarity website provides links to a number
of ideologically aligned organizations, including Iraq
Veterans Against the War, Veterans For Peace, Military Families Speak
Out, United for Peace & Justice,
American
Jews for a Just Peace, Electronic Intifada, Jewish Voice for Peace,
U.S. Campaign to End the Occupation, the Green Party of the United
States,
AFL-CIO,
Change to Win, the National Organization for Women, MEChA, the Black
Commentator, and the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement.

For previous installments in this Disney trip report, visit its index.
Unlike Part 4, which was heavy on text and light on photos, this installment of our “One More Disney Day” Disneyland trip report will be heavier on photos and lighter on words (I can almost hear the collective sighs of relief!).
The caffeine (or the shock from how disgusting it tasted) from the Nescafe gave me exactly the jolt I needed to make it through the rest of the day. Our next stop was Star Tours; the wait there had finally subsided after being one of the longest waits only a few hours prior. We still had a bit of a wait, but it was well worth it when we saw Shaun White and his entourage in line for the Starspeeder next to us. He was a lot shorter than I expected, and seemed very down to earth as we creepily watched him interact with his friends. Unlike Leonardo DiCaprio, he did not have an escort (at least that we saw–maybe the Cast Member waited outside the attraction?) and was truly just goofing around with friends. Sarah, once again, was very excited to see a celebrity!
After we exited Star Tours we noticed that the end was near! At was around 4:30 am at this point, and the crowds had really started to break up. Given that, we all decided that it was time to start focusing on photos again!
We each headed our own ways at this point, and Sarah and I encountered Henry–unsurprisingly, he had made it to the park! We hadn’t seen him since the previous November, so it was nice to catch up briefly.
Henry had a shot idea for me that he just couldn’t wait to share. Sarah felt that I should ignore him, but I knew the best course of action was to humor him. Sort of like you do with your kid when they offer career or wardrobe advice. “Oh really, you think I should do that? Well, that’s a VERY good idea, thank you for your suggestion!” Here is what his idea yielded:
Not too bad, actually, but a tough shot to get. Definitely would have been better with a longer lens. I guess I can’t give Henry too much grief. Unlike his previous Pirates of the Caribbean queue shot ideas, this one was actually pretty good in concept. I failed a bit on the execution.
We made our way over to “it’s a small world,” which apparently was a meeting ground for every other photographer in Disneyland. A casual passerby probably wondered why the paparazzi were so keen on two dolphin topiaries. Little did they realize that these were celebrity dolphin topiaries!
We moved from dolphins to whale. I prefer manatees, but Disneyland is surprisingly lacking in that department!
From there it was on to the rest of Fantasyland. Sarah did some attractions here while Henry supervised me in photographing the facades of all of the Fantasyland dark rides. After about an hour of doing this, we joined her for our last attraction of the day, Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride. Fitting, as “One More Disney Day” had been one (toad-filled?) wild ride!
From there it was to the hub to wait for the 6 am announcement. Every hour, on the hour, there had been a countdown announcement that had drawn cheers from the crowd. We expected some real excitement for the 6 am one, so we wanted to be on Main Street for it. This worried me as I thought I might not be able to get to New Orleans Square (where I wanted to photograph the sunrise) afterward, but I was willing to risk it to hear that 6 am closing announcement.
The crowd, unsurprisingly, went nuts at 6 am. It was really cool–and odd–to hear people get so excited when told it was time for them to leave the park. It was certainly unprecedented, as the end of the day is usually not something that guests anticipate with excitement.
As soon as that announcement ended, I darted over to New Orleans Square and the Rivers of America. Luckily, Disneyland didn’t sweep the park right at 6 am. I guess they really couldn’t, as there were still lines of people at Peter Pan’s Flight, Space Mountain, and a few other popular attractions. Plus, some restaurants were still serving right up to close, and they had to cycle those people out.
This area of the park was a veritable ghost town. It was clear that no zombies had actually been here, as this part of the park was basically in pristine condition (how?!) and no longer littered with bodies. After I snapped a few shots here, I decided to head back towards the hub to see if I could do any shooting in Tomorrowland. People were still lingering there, too, so I snapped a few shots.
Then, it was back to the hub to close out my “One More Disney Day.” It was such a beautiful and peaceful morning waiting for that second sunrise.
There are two pages in this post. Check out the conclusion of “One More Disney Day” by clicking Page 2 below!
It looks like you had an amazing day. I can scarcely imagine the sense of connection and elation you and Sarah must have felt with the other guests experiencing such a monumental day. I hope you’ll be reporting on the rest of this visit as well! I look forward to reading (and seeing) more.
Yep, the rest of the trip will be reported on. I’ll have a lot more photos for those days, too, since those photos aren’t in the eBook!
This was a great trip report and sounds like the day was pretty incredible from start to finish. Curious, did you go back to the parks after this or sleep the whole day?
We were in Disney California Adventure 3 hours later.
That’s amazing. TRUE Disney fans! lol
This might sound a little cheesy, but your trip report has actually made me want to visit Disneyland during the next Leap Year celebration! I always thought big events were overcrowded and rather stressful, but now I really wanna go and just enjoy the ambience. Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm!
Thanks for the great trip report (and the e-book, which is full of amazing pictures)! I completely agree with your assessment of the event–it was fantastic. It was really Disney at its best, and it was a day I’ll never forget.
Glad to see that you both had a great trip, it looks like it was a fantastic day! Even the one friend that I had out there (who isn’t into Disney like myself) had an awesome day/night during One More Disney Day.
Glad that you mentioned the “vocal minority!” It’s annoying that it’s always, always complaining by them and never anything positive. It may be that I don’t love everything Disney does, but it’s still the most magical of places and I’ll love all the trips I can take there (DL, WDW, hopefully elsewhere)!
I just bought and read the eBook and it was amazing! I haven’t been to Disneyland since I was little and this definitely made me want to make the trip out there and see it again! I would love for you to make a Disney World one, as I’m in full Disney trip mode for my Honeymoon in August! Can’t wait! Thanks again Tom for the eBook and this amazing blog!
Glad you enjoy the eBook. I put a LOT of work into it, as it definitely was a labor of love! I may be a bit biased, but I think it turned out really, really well, too!
Really enjoying the trip report! Every DLR trip report I read strengthens my resolve to make a trip out there happen in the near future (maybe 2013 will be our year!).
I absolutely LOVE the pink flowering trees around the hub! They added so much to every shot they were in.
I would love to hear Sarah’s point of view or commentary too.
Disneyland is awesome–you’ll love it.
I keep trying to get Sarah to post more; perhaps she’ll respond to your comment!
I agree–I’d love to hear Sarah’s point of view too! (though I do find your commentary quite entertaining Tom)
Great photos and trip report. I really wish I’d stayed all the way until the “kicked me out”, but I left about 6:20 a.m.
Do you know of anyone who recorded those hourly announcements & songs? I missed a couple and didn’t think to record any.
I loved reading this!!! I can’t wait till May 24th!! What do you think the crowds will be like at WDW?

Soccer: Crew doesn’t protect Mendoza.
Designated player Andres Mendoza, the Crew’s leading scorer and highest-paid player, is among 19 players left unprotected for this year’s expansion draft.
“Nobody really knows him as a person, and his salary is up there, so they probably won’t take a risk on him,” technical director Brian Bliss said of the expansion Montreal Impact.
Mendoza finished fourth in Major League Soccer with 13 goals this season. He was paid $595,000, according to the players’ union.
Montreal will have 10 selections in the draft on Wednesday and can select one player from each team. Although teams have until the end of the month to exercise options on roster players, Bliss is hoping that no Crew names are called. The team has lost players in each of the past five expansion drafts.
“You never really know how other teams view your own players,” Bliss said. “It’s always a calculated risk, and you try to mitigate it as much as you can. Not everybody is coming back, but there’s a handful for sure that are unprotected that we certainly want back.”
The 11 players protected are Rich Balchan, Dilaver Duka, Eddie Gaven, William Hesmer, Julius James, Chad Marshall, Sebastian Miranda, Emilio Renteria, Robbie Rogers, Tony Tchani and Bernardo Anor. Homegrown player Aaron Horton is automatically protected.
Rogers is one of three players without a contract for next season. The other two — Emmanuel Ekpo and Kevin Burns — were not protected. With Rogers exploring opportunities overseas, the Crew included him on the protected list to protect its interests.
“You can’t take the chance that somebody says, ‘I don’t like anybody else in the draft,’ and just takes Robbie,” Bliss said. “It could end up being for naught if he signs in Europe, but you could still retain his rights for the foreseeable future. If he would sign in Europe and then come back, we’d still have his rights.” | http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/sports/2011/11/21/1121-crew-doesnt-protect-mendoza.html | 2013-05-18T11:04:23 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Courtesy of The Southeastern Regional Association Introduction The purpose of this document is to provide organizations in SERA a helpful guide to Vendor’s Row. Much of the content of this guide comes from vendors’ questionnaires, the experiences of previous Cave Carnival organizers such as Lee Trowbridge, recent event observations, online event resources, and the input of the 2003 SERA supporting staff, Lynn Roebuck, Brian Roebuck and Jim Wilbanks as well as many regional cavers. The Region thanks everyone who contributed to this guide. It is hoped that this guide will be useful to the hosting organization and will aid them to organize Vendors’ Row in the best possible way for the host organization, the attendees’ and the Vendors’ who choose to attend The SERA Cave Carnival. While there is no requirement that vendors come to sell their merchandise at The SERA Cave Carnival many event attendee’s have come to appreciate this service. The Vendor Committee, based on the cost of providing Vendor space (utilities, booth area with sufficient camping, set up trailer’s, vehicles and access) should establish vendor fees. Vendors’ Row is an area for cave vendors’ to show and sell merchandise as well as a social area where many cavers enjoy evaluating gear, enjoy fellowship and plan cave trips far into the night. Therefore careful consideration should be given to the lay out and planning of the Vendors’ Row area. A water supply and port-a-johns or flush toilet in close proximity to the vendors is greatly appreciated. In the event of a disagreement over vendor charges, the decision of the Vendor Committee Chairperson is final. The hosting organization has to go through extra effort and expense for each vendor and will have to charge appropriate registration fees to cover the costs to the organization. Take great care to not to cut into the vendors’ profit or your organizations’ profits. As a courtesy, Vendor Row should be centrally located in the heart of cave carnival activities where foot and car traffic is maximized so cavers can hear the latest about new gear and shop the Vendors’ merchandise as well as enjoy the fellowship of other cavers. Vendors are responsible for their own security, however the committee should try to provide temporary security if the vendor is in need of a break and has no helper. An added option in Vendor’s Row is to add hay bales or other seating in the vicinity for social time. 2 Vendors’ Row Committee During the SERA Cave Carnival the Vendor’s Committee Chairperson is responsible for the smooth operation of the Vendor’s Row process. The Chairperson must be able to work well with people as well as coordinate the Vendor’s site selection, the registration process, etc. Responsibilities: Vendor Chairperson is main point of contact for vendors before and during the event. An appointed committee person should be at Vendors’ Row when Vendors arrive to insure that Vendors set up in the proper area and that they begin their front line space at the correct line. Compile a listing of information for Vendor contacts (update the attached sample list) Vendor’s Row Site location/selection and layout Contacting vendors with registration fee information, location, event date, etc Conducting Vendor Preregistration Conducting Vendor On-site Registration Collecting all Vendor Registration Fees (coordinate with Registration Committee) Maintaining complete and accurate vendor registration records (Finance Committee) The Committee should establish a refund policy Check Vendors’ Row periodically for safety hazards or concerns that may develop Vendors Fees Anyone who sells cave or any other merchandise at the event should be considered a Vendor. If a person or group is selling merchandise at the event, demonstrating products/taking orders for delivery of merchandise they should be treated as a vendor and Vendors Registration Fees should be collected by the hosting organization. Vending Fees should be based on size of Front Line Footage sites (50 feet, 30 feet or 15 feet). The depth of each site should be 50 feet plus with and additional 15-25 feet allowance for vendor camping, set up vehicles, parking, etc. Many events use the fee of $2.00-$4.00 dollars per Front Line Foot to buy their door prizes. Vendors and helper(s) should register and wear name tags. Vendors’ Fee-Option 1: Fee covers booth space with camping area, door prize donation, two vendor registration packets and entry of the Vendor and one helper. But does not include guidebooks or T-shirts. (These Vendors pay a higher registration fee to cover a door prize donation so they can deduct registration fee as a business expense) (Preferred by most vendors) Vendors’ Fee-Option 2: Fee covers booth space with camping area, two vendor registration packets and entry of the Vendor and one helper. Does not include guidebooks, door prize donation, T-shirts or door prize entry. (These vendors pay a lower registration fee but choose to donate a door prize from their stock or give a credit for purchases of a door prize) Decide on appropriate additional fees if the Vendor requires the assistance of more than one helper. 3 Vendor Row Layout Vendor’s Row should be centrally located in a high traffic area and be highly visible to all event attendee’s as well as include fair visibility for all vendors. Arrange Vendor’s in two rows facing each other, whenever possible. If two rows are not possible then one straight row is the next best arrangement. Vendor’s Row - Front line should be the same along the front with no stakes jutting out of line that may be a trip hazard and cause needless injury. A clear straight front line is suggested for the safety of the event attendee’s. Sometimes vendor neighbors may have conflicts - be sure to check for preferences. Assure Adequate Utilities (coordinate with Facility Committee) Basic Electrical (Minimum of 15 Amps Maximum 30+Amps) If facilities are not in the area, locate a cluster or two of port-a-johns close to Vendors’ Row (They should be easily accessible for cleaning and pumping) Provide Ample Water Provide Trash cans in the area Seating in vendors row (appreciated but optional) Site Sizes and Details: Offer Vendor’s Front Line Footage sites of 50 feet, 30 feet, or 15 feet. Booth Space Depth – Minimum 50 feet (with an additional personal space of 15-25 feet in rear of booth). This extra footage is for vendor camping, set up trailers, vehicles and access. Whenever possible an existing fence or other suitable blockade should be on the backside of the Vendor’s area. Site Specification Suggestions: The ideal site should be level non-sloping and on grass when possible to enable vendor’s to stake their booth. Concrete, pavement and gravel is not suitable and does not allow for stakes. If possible, the ground area in Vendors’ Row should not pond or have streams flowing through it during or after a rain due to safety and electrical concerns. It is good to have straw (not hay) on hand in case of rain. Establish a clear "front line" for vendor booths’ (mark the front line with chalk, paint, string, signs or any other appropriate method so that vendors know where they need to start their space). The Band should be located far enough away to enable Vendor’s and Attendee’s to hear one another speak. The Bonfire should be located far enough away from Vendors’ Row to not cause spark damage or a fire hazard to the Vendors’ booths but if possible may be close enough to still allow visibility. Whenever possible the Door Prize Drawing may be held in the general vicinity of Vendors’ Row. 4 Miscellaneous: If possible, take registration packets/material to vendors when they arrive and are setting up their space. Keep records of which Vendor Paid and Registration Fees Method For Vendor’s who wish to donate from their merchandise. Coordinate with who ever solicits the donations and make sure the vendor is given proper credit during the door prize drawing. Charitable Organizations Possibly a few non-profit organizations will want to set up a site in Vendors’ Row. During the event non-profits organizations solicit donations and publicize their individual organization. It is the decision of the hosting organization whether to charge, not to charge, or reduce the Vendor Registration Fees for the Vendors of non-profit organizations. Charitable Organizations Vendors and helper should register for the event and wear nametags at the event. Charitable Organizations who pay no registration fee or a reduced registration fee will use the same space, facilities and electricity, etc as paying Vendor’s. The host organization should set a limit for the total number of Charitable Organization helpers who are allowed in the event at no charge or at a reduced fee so as to not cut into the host organizations profits. Charitable Organization who do not pay a registration fee or receives a reduced registration fee should not have problems with receiving a less desirable location on Vendor’s Row than a vendor who pays full registration fee. Suggestions: Weather a Vendor chooses to attend the event or not, treat the Vendor’s kindly as they provide a great service to the caving community.

Thermal Considerations in a Pipe Flow (PowerPoint)
Document Sample
Thermal Considerations in a Pipe Flow • Thermal conditions Laminar or turbulent entrance flow and fully developed thermal condition Thermal entrance region, xfd,t For laminar flows the thermal entrance length is a function of the Reynolds number and the Prandtle number: xfd,t/D 0.05ReDPr, where the Prandtl number is defined as Pr = / and is the thermal diffusitivity. For turbulent flow, xfd,t 10D. Thermal Conditions • For a fully developed pipe flow, the convection coefficient is a constant and is not varied along the pipe length. (as long as all thermal and flow properties are constant also.) h(x) constant x xfd,t • Newton’s law of cooling: q”S = hA(TS-Tm) Question: since the temperature inside a pipe flow is not constant, what temperature we should use. A mean temperature Tm is defined. Energy Transfer Consider the total thermal energy carried by the fluid as VC TdA (mass flux) (internal energy) v A Now image this same amount of energy is carried by a body of fluid with the same mass flow rate but at a uniform mean temperature Tm. Therefore Tm can be defined as Tm VC TdA v A mCv Consider Tm as the reference temperature of the fluid so that the total heat transfer between the pipe and the fluid is governed by the Newton’s cooling law as: qs”=h(Ts-Tm), where h is the local convection coefficient, and Ts is the local surface temperature. Note: usually Tm is not a constant and it varies along the pipe depending on the condition of the heat transfer. Energy Balance Example: We would like to design a solar water heater that can heat up the water temperature from 20° C to 50° C at a water flow rate of 0.15 kg/s. The water is flowing through a 5 cm diameter pipe and is receiving a net solar radiation flux of 200 W per unit length (meter). Determine the total pipe length required to achieve the goal. Example (cont.) Questions: (1) How do we determine the heat transfer coefficient, h? There are a total of six parameters involving in this problem: h, V, D, , kf, cp. The last two variables are thermal conductivity and the specific heat of the water. The temperature dependence is implicit and is only through the variation of thermal properties. Density is included in the kinematic viscosity, m/. According to the Buckingham theorem, it is possible for us to reduce the number of parameters by three. Therefore, the convection coefficient relationship can be reduced to a function of only three variables: Nu=hD/kf, Nusselt number, Re=VD/, Reynolds number, and Pr=/, Prandtle number. This conclusion is consistent with empirical observation, that is Nu=f(Re, Pr). If we can determine the Reynolds and the Prandtle numbers, we can find the Nusselt number, hence, the heat transfer coefficient, h. Convection Correlations Laminar, fully developed circular pipe flow: hD Nu D 4.36, when q s " constant, (page 543, ch. 10-6, ITHT) kf Nu D 3.66, when Ts constant, (page 543, ch. 10-6, ITHT) Note: the therma conductivity should be calculated at Tm . Fully developed, turbulent pipe flow: Nu f(Re, Pr), Nu can be related to Re & Pr experimentally, as shown. ln(Nu) Fixed Pr ln(Nu) Fixed Re slope m slope n ln(Re) ln(Pr) Empirical Correlations Dittus-Boelter equation: Nu D 0.023 Re 4 / 5 Pr n , (eq 10-76, p 546, ITHT) where n 0.4 for heating (T s Tm ), n 0.3 for cooling (Ts Tm ). The range of validity: 0.7 Pr 160, Re D 10, 000, L / D 10. Note: This equation can be used only for moderate temperature difference with all the properties evaluated at Tm. Other more accurate correlation equations can be found in other references. Caution: The ranges of application for these correlations can be quite different. For example, the Gnielinski correlation is the most accurate among all these equations: ( f / 8)(Re D 1000) Pr Nu D (from other reference) 1/ 2 2/3 1 12.7( f / 8) (Pr 1) It is valid for 0.5 Pr 2000 and 3000 Re D 5 106 . All properties are calculated at Tm . Example (cont.) In our example, we need to first calculate the Reynolds number: water at 35°C, Cp=4.18(kJ/kg.K), m=7x10-4 (N.s/m2), kf=0.626 (W/m.K), Pr=4.8. m D 4(0.15) A 4m 5460 4 m D m (0.05)(7 10 ) Re 4000, it is turbulent pipe flow. VD Re m Use the Gnielinski correlation, from the Moody chart, f 0.036, Pr 4.8 ( f / 8)(Re D 1000) Pr (0.036 / 8)(5460 1000)(4.8) Nu D 37.4 1/ 2 2/3 1/ 2 2/3 1 12.7( f / 8) (Pr 1) 1 12.7(0.036 / 8) (4.8 1) kf 0.626 h NuD (37.4) 469(W / m 2 .K ) D 0.05 Energy Balance Question (2): How can we determine the required pipe length? Use energy balance concept: (energy storage) = (energy in) minus (energy out). energy in = energy received during a steady state operation (assume no loss) q '( L) mCP (Tout Tin ), L mCP (Tin Tout ) (0.15)(4180)(50 20) 94( m ) q' 200 q’=q/L Tin Tout Temperature Distribution Question (3): Can we determine the water temperature variation along the pipe? Recognize the fact that the energy balance equation is valid for any pipe length x: q '( x ) mCP (T ( x ) Tin ) q' 200 T ( x ) Tin x 20 x 20 0.319 x mCP (0.15)(4180) It is a linear distribution along the pipe Question (4): How about the surface temperature distribution? From local Newton's cooling law: q hA(Ts Tm ) q ' x h( Dx )(Ts ( x ) Tm ( x )) Ts ( x ) q' 200 Tm ( x ) 20 0.319 x 22.7 0.319 x (C ) Dh (0.05)(469) At the end of the pipe, Ts ( x 94) 52.7(C ) Temperature variation for constant heat flux 60 50 Constant temperature difference due to the constant heat flux.

. Summary N°3 - December 2008 Sec-tool, from a project to its implementation 7 municipalities from new members States involved in the sustainable energy process Chepelare - BG Utska - PL Iecava - LV Kaisiadorys - LT Karlovo - BG Doderlug-Kirchhain - DE Milevsko - CZ Good practices from Denmark Middelfart- DK Covenant of Mayors International Conference - "Tools for Sustainable Energy Communities" in Prague Intelligent Energy - Europe Download the PDF version Sec-tool, from a project to its implementation The SEC-Tools project will end by ultimo December 2008 and thus in its final stage of implementation. The project has comprised developing a Toolbox for sustainable energy practice in Communities and a range of pilot actions in Bulgaria, Brandenburg (Germany), Czech Republic, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia. In this final Newsletter we will inform about the project’s achievements and the Final Conference held in Prague, 13 November 2008. Also we invite all to visit the project website and learn more about the SEC-Tools: Kaj L. Petersen and Nils Daugaard on behalf of the SEC-Tools Team, nda@ecnetwork.dk 7 municipalities from new members States involved in the sustainable energy process Chepelare – BG The community of Chepelare, located is the southern mountainous part of Bulgaria, has rich forestry resources and a long tradition of wood processing activities. The municipality wants to benefit from its assets (75% of its area is covered by forests, 4 500 ha of which are municipal property, 265 days per year are sunny days) for its sustainable development. In the present situation, oil and primary wood are the main fuels used for heating in public buildings and family hotels in city of Chepelare. Analyses of the municipal budget showed high expenditures for heating of public buildings using oil. Replacing the oil by wood chips will reduce by two thirds the heating expenditures for public buildings and family hotels. In case of residential buildings and houses the installation of an effective boiler (more then 80% efficiency) would result in a reduction in primary wood usage. . The priorities established by the municipal Energy Plan were to use biomass and solar energy for heating and hot water supply in public buildings. The Municipality of Chepelare started building partnerships with the timber and the wood processing sector and contracted timber production from its own forests with different wood processing companies. In 5 contracts for 2007 the delivery of wood chips was one of the services stipulated. Wood chips will be used for heating municipal buildings during 2008 – 2009. The next steps will be building partnerships with hotel owners by presenting them the pilot actions implemented in public buildings and their benefits from fuel conversion. To reduce its expenditures, the municipality plans to replace gradually the existing 8 boilers using oil (3 in municipal kindergartens, the common oil boiler in the town hall building and the medical centre, 2 oil boilers in the 2 buildings of Vasil Dechev High School and the boiler in the municipal dormitory) with boilers using wood chips. The first step of this process was the replacement of the boilers in the kindergartens; the second one will be the installation of solar energy panels for hot water for the municipal dormitory and the swimming pool. Finally, switching from oil to wood chips, the annual expenditures will decrease from 330,000 € to 75,000 €, and the CO2 emission will be reduced by 1,100 t. For example now the oil energy consumption of Elhitsa Kindergarten is 26 tons per year, corresponding to approximately 24,500 €. After changing the fuel for heating with wood chips, the annual heating expenditures will decrease to 6,000 €. Read more. Iecava – LV Iecava Municipality, located in an agricultural area in the central part of Latvia, initiated the elaboration of a district heating development plan and a long term investment program in order to reduce the heating costs and the fuel consumption. Even though the environmental consciousness is high since the nineties, the priority given to that project was the economical effectiveness. For this project, Iecava Municipality was using long term state loan and during implementation of further steps it gained also state grants (30-50% of construction costs) and reinvested savings of previous steps. No EC grants were used in this project. Due to financial and technical reasons ( municipality was not able to cover all costs and construction companies were not able to implement such a big project within one season), the reconstruction of the district heating system was divided into 4 steps: 1) 35 automated individual heat substations for heating and hot water and replacing 5 km of heating networks by a two pipes system (costs 230,000 €); 2) reconstruction of 2.5 km of network in central system and reconstruction of central boiler house (water pre-treatment equipment, furnaces in existing boilers and two new gas fuelled boilers; costs 390,000 €; 3) replacement of 1.5 km of heating networks (costs 320,000 €); 4) replacement of 1.1 km of networks in village boiler plant system and 17 automated individual heat substations for heating were installed at customer side (costs 215,000 €). The most important result of the implementation of the heating system development plan was reduction of the heat looses in networks six fold, which consequently led to a better quality of heating service and reduced gas consumption of the boiler plant. Compared to previous heating season, the natural gas consumption for 2006- 2007 was about 20% less. Iecava is also planning to invest in energy efficiency and energy management for public buildings, which currently represent about 10% of total energy consumption. Read more. . Karlovo – BG The Municipality of Karlovo is located in a semi-mountainous area in the Rose Valley, in the centre of Bulgaria. The priorities decided by the municipality was to refurbish public buildings which have not been renovated for more than 25 years and to undertake awareness-raising campaigns for a sustainable energy behaviour. These measures are necessary due an increase of the energy prices (the municipality manages with difficulty its energy expenditures) and due to an unacceptable level of the indoor comfort. The main purpose of renovating municipality's public buildings was to decrease the energy consumption and to increase indoor comfort, improving the quality of life and diminishing health risks. The project started with renovation of several kindergartens and schools. Following a long negotiation period, the Municipal Council of Karlovo took the decision to implement energy efficiency measures in 5 kindergartens – total area 8,700 m². Energy audits were prepared by an ESCO company. Once the implemented measures – improving the efficiency of the heating system and thermo- modernization of walls and roofs– the energy consumption of the buildings would decrease tremendously from 388 to 119 KWh/m2/year. The annual energy consumption for the five buildings, after the energy efficiency measures were implemented, was projected at 900 MWh (per year) – 36% lower than before. Consequently the CO2 emission reduction is estimated at 650 t annually. Read more. Milevsko – CZ Milevsko is located in an agricultural area of the southern part of the Czech Republic. The main priorities of the City Energy Plan were to switch the energy source from lignite to gas/biomass, to rebuild the distribution system and to rebuild and modernize the municipal heating system. The energy audit suggested the following energy efficiency measures: distribution system modifications, gas boiler constructions, biomass boiler constructions, individual solutions for special cases (electricity and heat supply solutions for a number of selected buildings). The suggested set of measures were organised into three variations: V1 – heat supply from ZVVZ Milevsko; V2 – compound source – gas and biomass boiler (gas boiler 2 x 3MW, biomass boiler 5MW); V3 – construction of 2 hot-water gas boilers (2 x 5MW, 2 x 0,8MW and 2 x 0,6 MW in condensation heat exchanger). According to the evaluation table below (based on adjusted input prices of fuels), the savings are substantial. Read more. . Utska – PL Utska Municipality, located on the Baltic cost of Poland, based its development on health resort, tourist industry and the sea harbour. The City Council adopted its spatial policy in accordance to the principle of sustainable development with major objectives to minimize the resources use, to rationalize energy management and to switch from coal to gas/biomass. In order to acquire new clients, the district heating company (EMPEC Ustka Ltd), which is owned by Utska municipality and E.ON Sverige company, decides the modernization of the district heating system : installation of a wood chips boiler for the production of hot sanitary water, installation of combined district heating units with the installation of the biomass boiler and the natural gas or biogas peak-load boilers. This altogether will cover about 75% of heat demand. The municipality also supports the thermal retrofitting and revitalization of buildings. Most of the multi-family buildings have been already thermo-modernized. The completion of thermal retrofitting of multi-family residential buildings and the revitalization of old fisherman’s houses are ongoing. Once the buildings refurbished, Ustka Public Building Society are being sold on the free market and the revenues obtained are used to finance social housing. This solution has proved to be successful. The first results of the implementation of the Energy Plan already show the improvement of the air quality and globally enhance Utska's image. In the following table, you can see a considerable greenhouse gas emissions reduction generated by modernisation of the heating system: Read more. Kaisiadorys – LT The Kaisiadorys district is located in the centre of Lithuania and has several wood processing companies. Kaisiadorys district heating plant supplies heating by using a natural gas fired boilers of 44.1 MW total capacity. Heavy fuel oil serves as a reserve fuel. Due to a sharply rising of the natural gas prices, the municipally identified two priorities: 1) replacing gas with biofuels (wood chips); 2) reducing energy consumption for heating buildings by modernisation of the buildings. The measures taken were the installation of a biofuel-fired, heat-only boiler of 5 MW capacity in 2007-2008. And locally produced wood chips will be used as a base fuel. The boiler should be used at 100% capacity in winter time working in a base load and covering 60% of total heat demand. In summer period, only 20% of boiler capacity will be used to satisfy hot tap water demand. Investments included installation of the biofuel boiler, the construction of a wood chip storage, fuel transportation system and a new chimney. Total investment cost amounted to 3.9 million Lt. Construction of the biomass boiler and replacement of 3.3 million m3 of gas with 14.3 thousands tons of wood chips is a highly profitable investment in the context of sharp rising natural gas prices. Heat production costs go down by 43.9% and annual cost savings amount to 2.13 million Lt/year. Also this reduces CO2 emissions into atmosphere by 6,368 t annually. Read more. . Doderlug-Kirchhain – DE Doberlug-Kirchhain is a rural community structured in small towns and villages in the South-West of the Brandenburg Region. Once the Energy Plan adopted, the City Council designed three first priorities as follows: 1) the improvement of district heating system by the reconstruction of networks (conversion to 2 pipes networks followed by a full renovation); 2) the modernization of end user side (installation of individual heat substations); 3) the improvement of heat production (reconstruction of existing boiler plants). After a long negotiation, but thanks to a strong political will, the state forest administration and the local foresters from Doberlug, decided to switch to bioenergy, as the most important local renewable energy source by replacing the oil fired boiler by a wood chips heated boiler. The use the new boiler supplied by locally produced wood chips enables the local administration to reduce its energy bill from 28.000 €/ year to 8.000 €/ year. Read more. Good practices from Denmark Middelfart- DK The municipality council has a vision and a strategy of "Green Growth". This means an enhanced focus on development that provides welfare and growth in the municipality – in a sustainable way. Sustainable development has been addressed for some decades, but "green growth" tries to develop and extend use of technologies and methods where energy consumption is reduced – in general by improving the professional level of conducting energy services in the municipality’s public and private sectors. The municipality of Middelfart started, in September 2008, the implementation of a pilot project which focuses on public and private buildings. The public buildings component of the project will focus on the following aspects: 1) Gathering of energy information for all buildings one place and systematic monitoring of consumption; 2) Ventilation systems, 3) Heating supply; 4) Lightning; 5) Implementation of CTS system; 6) Thermal building modernisation; 7) Water consumption; 8) Education of municipality staff; 9) Quality benchmarking on buildings. Most of technical aspects mentioned above will also be addressed for the private buildings component of the project. For the public project the payback period is 7 years, and the investment level is around 6 millions €. The financing is by bank loan, but guarantied by ESCO (TAC company). If annual savings do not correspond with the contract, TAC company must compensate the municipality. All the houses for the private project are all from 1970 or before and the majority of them are heated by natural gas. The saving potential in these houses is between 30–70% (corresponding to energy costs of 7 billions €/ year). The financing is insured by the private households. This project will enable energy savings of 21% per year (for its public buildings component )which corresponds to a reduction of 1,000 tones of CO2 emissions. Read more. Invitation to join the Covenant of Mayors The Covenant of Mayors is an ambitious initiative of the European Commission that will bring together the mayors of Europe's most pioneering cities in a permanent network to exchange and apply good practices across these cities and beyond to improve energy efficiency significantly in the urban environment. The Covenant consists of the formal commitment of the adhering cities to go beyond the objectives of the EU in terms of reducing their CO2 emissions through energy efficiency and renewable energy actions. If you wish to join the Covenant of Mayors, you will find all useful information on the website of the European Commission (such as text of the Covenant in all EU languages and the Adhesion form to the Covenant). Finally, the European Commission will create soon the Secretariat of the Covenant which will establish and operate a Covenant Helpdesk and will secure personalized support for the Covenant signatories. .

Web 2.0 – The essence of what it means to me as a web designers In my effort to clearly define exactly what in essence Web 2.0 is, I have come across several interpretations, definitions, characteristics and overviews to describe what Web 2.0 is all about. But in order to provide a definitive response as to what Web 2.0 is, we must first look at how the internet has developed from its inception. Initially, the web encompassed the creation of static pages of information written by a select few authors. Over time, more content was added; as more individuals began adding more and more information to these existing static pages at very low bandwidths, more questions and needs began to surface. Many experts chose to label this simplistic form of internet expression as Web 1.0. Only after Tim O’Reilly, of O’Reilly Media at a FOO camp conference in 2004, coined the phrase ‘Web 2.0’ did a label get attached to what the internet has indeed morphed into today and continues to grow as: a complex, application driven platform that encourages information harvesting, actualization, creativity and revenue generation. The trend gradually shifted from an authoring of the few to the many. Web developers saw a need to make the internet more important and dynamic than originally intended. More dynamic applications and functions were introduced implemented and adhered to by a growing community and on much larger bandwidths. The developers and end-users ultimately came out as the clear cut winners to which the Web 2.0 platform has grown into today, with the emphasis on emerging technologies leading the way. Content has become a vital component; the emergence of presentation, openness, freedom, protocol and standardization has made the internet the largest most continually evolving entity in the world. With the advent and incorporation of blogs, RSS feeds and similar forms of many-to-many publishing applications as well as application programming interfaces, the internet has allowed many sites the opportunity to show they are more than just read only sites: they can provide the use of dynamic applications which can help them generate large sums of revenue in any field or industry. The internet is considered the most advanced medium on earth. Its been hailed and embraced as a multi-faceted platform for which data and information can be distributed and harvested. In addition, through Web 2.0, the internet has empowered many individuals: it gives each and everyone one of us the chance to become journalists, musicians, and broadcasters via different platforms. By incorporating technology and combining that with a creative flare, anyone can self realize themselves in a way that previously would only be limited to other forms of media and a very large budget. As a web designer, the impact of Web 2.0 will only be realized by the limitations I place upon myself. If I choose to learn and ultimately only apply what I have learned today and not what tomorrow offers, I will have only limited my ability to generate future revenue streams. Therefore, it is essential to my own personal growth within this industry to stay abreast of any and all Web 2.0 developments, upgrades and pioneering introductions that will emerge down the road. I would re-iterate to my real world client that by taking their one-dimensional, non- compliant webpage and turning it into a dynamic, content and information driven entity customized by relevant applications that would increase sales, they can enjoy a healthy return on their investment. They can also add value to their business which emphasizes commitment to growth, and being cutting edge in their chosen industry.

LEMON GROVE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY Item No. __4 ___ __ Mtg. Date __January 6, 2009__ Dept. __City Manager’s Office__ Item Title: Termination of a Lease Agreement with the San Diego East County Chamber of Commerce and Discussion of Alternative Uses of the Lemon Grove Depot/Trolley Station Staff Contact: Graham Mitchell, City Manager Recommendation: Adopt resolution (Attachment B) terminating the lease agreement for the use of the Lemon Grove Depot/Trolley Station. Item Summary: The City and the Lemon Grove Chamber of Commerce entered into a lease agreement for the use of the Lemon Grove Depot/Trolley Station in August 1986. The building has been used as an office for the Chamber of Commerce. On October 29, 2008, the Lemon Grove Chamber of Commerce merged with the San Diego East County Chamber of Commerce. This action resulted in the East County Chamber taking on the lease agreement. Because the Lemon Grove Depot/Trolley Station is no longer being used by the East County Chamber of Commerce and it is staff’s opinion that the building space is not suitable for a chamber office, staff has prepared a resolution terminating the lease agreement with the East County Chamber of Commerce for City Council consideration. Fiscal Impact: None. Environmental Review: Not subject to review Negative Declaration Categorical Exemption, Section Mitigated Negative Declaration Public Information: None Newsletter article Notice to property owners within 300 ft. Notice published in local newspaper Neighborhood meeting Attachments: A. Staff Report B. Resolution -1- Attachment A LEMON GROVE CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Item No. 4 ____ Mtg. Date January 6, 2009 Item Title: Termination of a Lease Agreement with the San Diego East County Chamber of Commerce and Discussion of Alternative Uses of the Lemon Grove Depot/Trolley Station Staff Contact: Graham Mitchell, City Manager Discussion: On August 4, 1986, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 901 approving a lease agreement between the City and the ―Chamber of Commerce of Lemon Grove.‖ The lease is for the use of the City-owned 570 square foot building referred to as the Lemon Grove Depot/Trolley Station (the ―Depot‖) located at the Broadway and Main Street trolley platform. Since entering into the lease agreement, the Lemon Grove Chamber of Commerce has used the Depot as its offices and meeting space. During periods of greater activity, the Chamber staffed a person at the Depot. However, in recent years, the Depot has primarily been used to store Chamber supplies, marketing material, and equipment, and has been used as its board meeting room. In the past year, the Depot has rarely been used by the Chamber—even board meetings were being held at the community center. On October 29, 2008, the Lemon Grove Chamber’s membership voted to merge with the San Diego East County Chamber of Commerce (ECCC). The merging of the two organizations resulted in the transfer of the lease agreement from the Lemon Grove Chamber of Commerce to the ECCC. Staff has met with ECCC’s President/CEO, Mike Cully, to express interest in terminating the lease and to have an understanding of how this would impact their service to businesses in Lemon Grove. The ECCC desires to have a storefront in Lemon Grove but does not find the Depot a satisfactory location for its office. The ECCC is currently exploring several office locations in the downtown area. It is staff’s opinion that the Depot is not a suitable location for a chamber of commerce office, as it lacks visibility and ease of access. It is staff’s recommendation that the Council consider adopting a resolution (Attachment B) terminating the lease agreement with ECCC. If the lease agreement is terminated, staff will provide the 90-day written notice required by the lease. If no longer occupied by a chamber of commerce, the City has an opportunity to utilize the Depot in a manner that either creates revenue for the City or provides the community with an amenity it currently does not offer. The report will provide several options for consideration and further exploration. Staff anticipates that the three ideas identified in this staff report will prompt other ideas for discussion. Option 1 – do not use the building for any purpose, except to store supplies needed to maintain the building. This option results in no cost and no revenue. Option 2 – lease the building to a commercial vendor. Staff has explored this option in the past. In fact, on September 7, 2004, the City Council authorized the release of a request for proposals (RFP) for the use the Depot. On December 7, 2004, the Council reviewed an analysis of four proposed uses of the Depot. Three of the respondents to the RFP were convenience store-type -3- Attachment A operations; the other respondent was real estate office. The rents offered by the respondents varied from $525 per month to $1,000 per month. The request for City-initiated tenant improvements ranged from $2,000 to $12,000. Staff’s December 2004 analysis also addressed issues related to MTS. Even though the City owns the Depot, MTS owns the platform on which the building sits. As such, if the City leased its building, the City would need to negotiate an agreement with MTS. One of the negotiation points will be an expectation that MTS will receive a portion of the revenue generated from the lease. Based on conversations staff had with MTS in 2004, the expected share MTS would require is between 25 and 50 percent of the revenue. Given City-initiated tenant improvements, on-going City operation costs, and sharing revenue with MTS, according to the 2004 analysis, the City anticipated netting between $5,000 and $9,000 annually from a lease. If the City leased the building, one of the lease terms could be that the restroom located in the Depot would be open for public use during hours of operation. This benefit to trolley riders may help with negotiating a lower MTS share of revenue (given that the City is providing MTS riders a service at its trolley station that is not offered at any of its other stations). Option 3 – use the Depot for community promotion and for fund raising activities by local organizations. The City does not have staff that could regularly occupy the Depot. However, periodically, the City could open the Depot for special promotions of storm water education, recycling education, redevelopment surveys, etc. One shortfall of this idea is that staff does not know the percentage of users at the trolley station who are Lemon Grove residents. On most day in which the Depot is not occupied by the City, the Depot could be used by local non-profit and community groups to use the facility to promote their services to the community and to operate fund-raising activities. If the City were to explore this option, very specific guidelines would need to be established, insurance liability policies would need to be obtained, and short- term lease agreements would need to be entered into. Conclusion: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution terminating the lease agreement with the ECCC and discuss other possible uses of the Depot building for further research. -4- Attachment B RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION OF THE LEMON GROVE CITY COUNCIL TERMINATING A LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF LEMON GROVE AND THE SAN DIEGO EAST COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOR USE OF THE LEMON GROVE DEPOT/TROLLEY STATION WHEREAS, on August 4, 1986, the City Council adopted Resolution 901, approving a lease agreement between the Chamber of Commerce of Lemon Grove and the City for the use of the Lemon Grove Depot/Trolley Station (the ―Depot‖); and WHEREAS, since that time, the Depot has been used by the Lemon Grove Chamber of Commerce as an office and conference room; and WHEREAS, on October 29, 2008, the Lemon Grove Chamber of Commerce merged with the San Diego East County Chamber of Commerce (ECCC); and WHEREAS, the merger of the two organizations resulted in a transfer of the lease from the Lemon Grove Chamber of Commerce to the ECCC; and WHEREAS, the City finds that the Depot is not a preferable site for a chamber of commerce office; and WHEREAS, the City wishes to terminate the lease agreement with the ECCC; and WHEREAS, the lease agreement includes a 90-day termination provision; and WHEREAS, in that the lease agreement was entered into by authority of a resolution, it is necessary to terminate the lease agreement by authority of a resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Lemon Grove, California hereby directs the City Manager to send a notice to the ECCC terminating the lease agreement between it and the City of Lemon Grove for use of the Depot and take any further action necessary pursuant to the lease agreement for its termination. ///// ///// -5-

As obesity impacts the health and wellness of children and teens, regular exercise becomes more important than ever. Exercise helps get kids in shape and keeps them strong, and organized sports for young kids can be great tools for teaching discipline, hard work and fitness. But throughout adolesence, the human body remains vulnerable to breaks, tears and injuries to growth plates. That’s why parents should set limits when helping their kids exercise.
First, know the difference between strength training and weightlifting. Weightlifting and bodybuilding both concentrate on gaining muscle mass and progressively increasing the amount of weight being lifted. This is harmful for kids and preteens. Because children’s skeletons are still developing, they cannot handle the stress of lifting heavy weights, and may be easily injured.
Instead, focus on involving your child in strength-training exercises that utilize resistance and your child’s own body weight. Routines including push-ups, sit-ups and light calisthenics are completely safe for children not yet of middle school age. Consider adding in a 10-15 minute warm-up period with low-intensity aerobic exercises and stretching. Resistance bands offer an easy and convenient way for children to exercise without stressing their growing bodies. The resistance takes very little time to adjust and can be practiced anywhere.
By utilizing light resistance with bands and bodyweight exercises, children will be able to increase strength without the dangers of pumping iron. For strength training to be both effective and safe, it should be practiced no more than three times a week. Furthermore, all major muscle groups should receive at least 48 hours of rest between workouts.
Young children can also run for short stretches, but parents should exercise discretion at just how much they allow them to run. Children’s joints are particularly sensitive to repetitive stress, and too much running can easily cause injury and inhibit proper growth. Your child may want to participate in more formal running exercises, either out of curiosity or to join you in your workout. This is okay as long as you limit the total number of miles they run. A good indication is when the children reach their voluntary exhaustion. Always make sure they are drinking plenty of fluids and stop them from running if they complain of pain, dizziness or fatigue -- or if you suspect they are dehydrated.
Children of middle school age can safely run anywhere from 6-10 miles, especially for team sports such as track or cross country. Kids interested in running a marathon should be dissuaded from doing so until they are older. Until kids reach 18, they remain at risk for cartilage, tendon and bone platelet damage. Encourage kids to wait a little longer, until age 21, to take on a marathon. By then, the body has finished with the most critical phases of development and can properly sustain the stress of long-distance running.
Likewise, weight lifting is okay once your children reach high school. Even then, however, guidelines should be in place to avoid injury. Lower weights at higher repetitions are safest -- normally around 10 to 15 reps per set. Always ensure your child is using proper form and that he can reach the last repetition easily. Even when your child is older, he or she should exercise each muscle group only once per week with a minimum of 48 hours of rest in between individual workouts.
Teaching your children the value of physical fitness now will pay off in an abundance of health, stamina, mental development and psychological well-being later on. But too much too soon will set children back instead of forward. Follow the above steps to put your child on the path to safety and an active lifestyle with a limited injuries. | http://www.doctoroz.com/blog/michael-neely-do/exercise-kids-what-safe-what-not | 2013-05-18T10:12:15 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Mother and child work in the field in Shamwana, where MSF recently returned after fighting forced suspension of operations.
On March 3, 2012, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) returned to continue providing medical care in Shamwana, Katanga Province, in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), after fighting forced the organization to suspend its operations and displaced the town’s entire population two days earlier.
“There hasn’t been fighting in Shamwana in nearly six years,” says Katrien Coppens, MSF operational manager for DRC. “When we heard that there were battles between the Mai Mai militia and the government forces [that] drove the population to flee, we were surprised that this was happening in Shamwana, a village that has been secure. In fear, our sick patients got up and left quickly, which made us doubly concerned for their fate."
The team returned to find that the village is still empty of people. Though its medical activities have resumed, MSF remains concerned about the deterioration of security in the area, which continues to hamper the continuous provision of medical assistance to the population.
MSF has been working in Shamwana since May 2006, providing health care to people living in the Kiambi, Mitwaba, and Kilwa health zones. MSF teams provide free primary and secondary health care, treating malaria, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and malnutrition; and providing reproductive health services, mental health care, and emergency surgery. For five consecutive years MSF has also run two fistula camps in Shamwana, where skilled MSF surgeons have repaired obstetric fistulas for hundreds of women.
In 2011, in Katanga province, MSF provided more than 67,000 medical consultations, assisted in 1,223 deliveries, treated close to 25,000 patients with malaria, vaccinated nearly 600,000 children for measles and treated 13,746 measles cases in children less than five years of age.
MSF has been present in DRC since 1981 and delivers primary and specialized hospital care in health facilities and through mobile medical clinics throughout the | http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/news/article.cfm?id=5808&cat=field-news | 2013-05-18T10:31:11 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

A Critical Situation for Sudanese Refugees in Yida
All articles on Sudan »
There was a sharp rise in medical emergencies in several parts of Sudan in 2009. In addition to the continuing crisis in Darfur, people in southern Sudan faced escalating violence and outbreaks of disease. They have little or no access to healthcare.
Escalating violence and disease outbreaks led MSF to launch several emergency interventions in southern Sudan in 2009. Medical needs, which were already at emergency levels in many parts of the country, increased dramatically during the course of the year as clashes between different communities left hundreds dead and thousands displaced. MSF led emergency interventions in Akobo, Torkej, Lekwongole, Panyangor, Duk Padiet and Terekeka. In the areas where MSF responded staff recorded that three times more people were killed than were wounded, and high numbers of women and children were affected. Surgical teams in Nasir and Leer performed more than 1,000 surgeries in 2009, more than half of which were for injuries caused by violence.
Throughout the year the Ugandan rebel group, the Lord’s Resistance Army, launched frequent attacks on villages near the borders of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Central African Republic, and in DRC itself. These caused thousands of Sudanese people to flee their homes and Congolese refugees to cross the border to seek refuge in Western Equatoria State. MSF has been in this area since the end of 2008, and adapted its activities to meet the changing needs. Medical staff started to work in Ezo, Naandi, Yambio and Makpundu, providing assistance to around 45,000 people living in camps or integrated within host communities. In 2009 teams carried out 14,000 consultations and provided psychological support to more than 800 people in Western Equatoria. Materials such as plastic sheeting, jerry cans, blankets, pans and mosquito nets were distributed to nearly 1,000 families, and latrines and water points were installed in refugee camps in the area. In February MSF also launched an emergency response in Lasu, Central Equatoria State, providing medical care to more than 6,000 people.
In October, there was a new outbreak of the deadly disease kala azar in Jonglei and Unity States. Teams had screened and treated more than 450 patients by end of the year.
These emergency interventions were in addition to medical care that MSF provides in its longer-term projects in southern Sudan. Throughout the year, 1,400 staff provided treatment and medical care to hundreds of thousands of people in seven states in southern Sudan and in the transitional area of Abyei. Nearly 435,000 people received care and more than 10,300 were admitted to MSF’s clinics. More than 62,400 women had antenatal consultations and 8,000 children were treated for malnutrition. More than 50,000 people suffering from malaria were treated and 130,600 people were vaccinated.
Access to healthcare for people in the Darfur region of western Sudan was difficult in 2009, especially following the expulsion by Sudanese authorities of 13 international aid agencies – including two sections of MSF. Shortly after the expulsions, four MSF staff were kidnapped in Serif Umra, North Darfur. They were released unharmed after a few days, but these kidnappings, the first of their kind in Darfur, marked the start of a spate of kidnappings in the region: 14 people had been abducted by the end of the year. This increased risk forced many of the remaining aid agencies to scale back their activities in parts of Darfur.
More than half of MSF’s programs were forced to close as a result of the expulsions. Two more projects in Serif Umra and Kebkabiya in North Darfur, and activities in Tawila, also in North Darfur, were suspended. MSF nonetheless provided nearly 129,000 consultations, more than 24,000 antenatal consultations, admitted nearly 2,000 people to hospital and treated some 4,000 people for malaria throughout the year. Teams handed over projects in Golo and Killin to the Ministry of Health in October, and in the same month were able to restart activities in Tawila. At the end of the year, MSF started working in a remote area of North Darfur, Um Baru, providing medical support to five rural health centers that care for very isolated communities.
In the city of Port Sudan, in the northeast of the country, MSF continued to provide reproductive healthcare in Tagadom Hospital. More than 13,500 women received antenatal consultations and 1,000 women received help giving birth. MSF operates a zero-tolerance policy on any type of female circumcision. It is estimated that more than 97 per cent of women in the state are circumcised. This procedure causes serious medical complications for many women throughout their lives. MSF does not re-stitch or re-infibulate women following delivery or at any other time.
Kala azar patient, MSF clinic in Pibor, Jonglei State
‘I have been sick for months ... I waited two months before coming to the clinic. I was shivering and sweating, I had fever and was weak. Before I found out it was kala azar, I just felt like I was crazy. I didn’t recognize people, and I just wanted to be alone. But now I feel better. I recognize my family, I recognize everybody. I am able to walk again.’
Woman from Burmath, Jonglei State, May 2009
‘There were so many people who came to attack – all with guns. They burned the area and took the young girls, but not the boys: they killed them. Normally, they only deal with the men, but this time they killed the women and children. I am crying because we are not protected and our children are abducted or wounded. That wasn’t the first time we were attacked but it was the first time it was like that.’

From a distance, the new structure at Monterey County’s Laurel Yard Complex in Salinas, California, looks like an ordinary parking lot canopy. But a closer inspection shows it is actually an impressive array of solar panels that is expected to save the county thousands of dollars a year in energy costs.
Monterey County’s new 141 kilowatt solar photovoltaic (PV) energy system has the capacity to convert sunlight into 192,000 kilowatt hours of energy per year -- an energy output equivalent of more than 15,000 gallons of gas or 1,150 60-watt light bulbs. The system generates enough energy to power all eight public works facilities and offices at the county-owned Laurel Yard Complex for six months out of the year, effectively cutting annual power bills in half.
The new solar array is expected to save the county an estimated $222,000 in energy costs during its first five years of operation and at least $18,800 per year starting during year six of operation. Additionally, the system is expected to decrease carbon dioxide emissions by at least 270,000 pounds each year.
The county completed the project with assistance from the Energy Department’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program. Last month, Monterey County workers celebrated the completion of the project with a ribbon-cutting event at the Laurel Yard Complex, showcasing the county’s first county-managed PV system. Monterey County has future plans to install PV systems at additional county-owned sites. | http://www.doe.gov/articles/solar-power-generates-big-savings-salinas-california | 2013-05-18T10:53:29 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Taste the Rainbow Trooper at a LARGE bag of Skittles and a LARGE bag of Starburst candy, then he threw up a rainbow on Mom’s dining room carpet. He’s too ashamed to even look at the camera.

Soy for Health
Soy for Health
June 14, 2012
Should you stock up on soy? Soy foods are often the center of nutrition controversy, but it seems in moderation, for those who can tolerate soy, soy foods can contribute to an overall healthy diet pattern, and healthy diet patterns are linked with general well being.
Here are some various health benefits that have been linked to eating soy:
Antioxidants: Soy foods contain antioxidants - compounds that protect cells from damage caused by unstable oxygen molecules called free radicals.
Cholesterol: In 38 studies involving 730 people, the connection between soy consumption and low cholesterol levels was strong. Those with diets where half the protein was soy had 10 percent lower cholesterol than those not eating soy. Saponins and phytosterols in soy are thought to bind cholesterol in the gut, and help it pass through our GI tract.
Colon cancer: People who made soy foods a regular part of their diet had significantly lower rates of colon cancer that those who did not eat soy. Lignans and protease inhibitors in soy are thought to be the reason for the anit-cancer effect.
Hot flashes: Menopause symptoms are almost immediately responsive to isoflavones. Often, within weeks of beginning soy protein consumption, women experience a 25 percent drop in hot flashes. Isoflavones are also thought to be antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory and more!
Immunity: Soybean peptides (chains of amino acids) can boost the immune system, helping the body fight disease.
Breast cancer: There are some hesitations regarding soy and breast cancers (as well as other hormone related cancers); a study presented at the American Association for Cancer Research demonstrated that soy food intake among breast cancer survivors is safe and may even reduce the risk of recurrence. The research suggests that worries appear unfounded. It's important to note that the study's authors stress that the study reviewed soy foods, not supplements.
So how much soy is considered protective? Just a cup of soymilk or just two ounces (or half a serving) of tofu per day. There are many different soy foods out there and in fact many processed packaged foods, take out meals and restaurant foods contain soy; so those avoiding soy for allergy or other reasons, or those wanting to consume a controlled amount should be vigilant about reading labels and choosing take out foods and restaurants carefully. Call ahead or ask waiters to check if soy products are used in their foods.
Where are soy products most common?
They can be found in baked goods, canned tuna, cereals, meal replacement bars and drinks, crackers, chips, infant formulas, sauces, and soups. And at least one brand of peanut butter lists soy on the label. Studies demonstrate that most soy-allergic individuals can safely eat soybean oil; this does not include cold pressed, expeller pressed, or extruded soy oil, but this is something that should definitely be discussed with your physician or allergist. Because of this, the FDA exempts highly refined soybean oil from being labeled as an allergen.
Using whole ingredients, and foods in their natural state is a great way to control the amount of soy (and of course other "nutrition bandits") in your diet. As always, consult your physician before making changes to your diet.
As mentioned, an adequate serving to reap the benefits of soy, is just a cup of soymilk or just two ounces (or half a serving) of tofu per day - that's not a lot! When consumed in larger amounts soy's consumption becomes controversial in its health benefits; soy falls into a category of foods known as goitrogens - vegetables, grains and foods that interfere with thyroid function. Speak with you physician or nutritionist to determine if soy foods in moderation are right for you.

By now you've seen the bizarre footage of Patrick Roy's son "fighting" an opponent over the weekend. Jonathan Roy has been suspended seven games for his actions during the brawl, which saw him charge the length of the ice to decimate opposing goaltender Bobby Nadeau, who clearly wanted no part of the scrap.
Now clearly there is a time and place for walking away from a fight. In fact, it's generally a very good idea, especially if you have reason to believe you're going to lose. But even from a pacifist's point of view, Nadeau's performance was pathetic -- he made virtually no effort to defend himself, and wound up curled on the ice like a wounded puppy.
What's a self-respecting man supposed to do in this situation? It's hard to say. So as a public service, I've gone over various scenarios to come up with a list of possible responses. In order, from best-case to worst, here's a list of nine options to consider if you ever find yourself in Nadeau's position .
Best case scenario: Clearly communicate that you are a pacifist and would prefer a non-violent solution. If forced to fight, beat opponent to bloody pulp. Calmly leave like it was no big deal.
Examples: Felix Potvin vs. Ron Hextall. Youngblood vs. Racki. Nolan Ryan vs. Robin Ventura. Mr. Miyagi vs. the guys dressed up as skeletons
If you can't do that, then: Accept invitation to fight despite overwhelming odds. Fight valiantly, eventually losing but sending the clear message that you won't be intimidated, thus winning a moral victory.
Examples: Spartans vs. Persians. Martin Biron vs. Ray Emery. Craig Coxe vs. Bob Probert. Zack Morris vs. A.C. Slater.
If you can't do that, then: Throw early sucker punch. Assume fighting stance a few feet from opponent. If opponent attempts to advance, slowly back away. Wave away anyone who tries to intervene. Continue backing away while looking like you really want to fight. Hope opponent will die of old age and/or Dave Manson will eventually save you.
Examples: Denis Savard vs. Gary Leeman. Every NBA fight ever.
If you can't do that, then: Try to look as tough as possible immediately before the fight. Once fight begins, throw a few punches early. Realize you are going to die. Make peace with your god.
Examples: Pretty much everyone who ever tried to fight Wendel Clark.
If you can't do that, then: Stand frozen like a deer caught in headlights. Once touched, immediately curl up into a ball on the floor. Make no attempt to fight back. Whimper girlishly. Watch highlights of self on youtube for rest of eternity.
Example: Bobby Nadeau vs. Jonathan Roy. Chris Neil vs. Chris Dingman. Me, if anyone I make fun of on this blog ever confronts me about it.
If you can't do that, then: Relax all muscles. Go completely limp. Cling to larger opponent. Cry loudly. Poop a little bit.
Examples: Roy vs. Montecore. Bryan McCabe vs. Zdeno Chara. My one-year-old daughter vs. the word "no".
If you can't do that, then: Run screaming to nearest exit. If no exit found, just flee in circles in hopes opponent will lose interest. Flail hands above head (optional).
Examples: The Owen Sound Platters vs. Jeff Kugel. Kazuhiko Daimon vs. Rod Allen.
If you can't do that, then: Defecate on ice. Fling poo at enemies to keep them away from you.
Examples: The monkey from Most Valuable Primate (director's cut edition only). Most Sean Avery fights.
If you can't do that, then: Stand still. Slump shoulders. Begin to cry.
Example: Oliver McCall vs. Lennox Lewis. Me vs. realization I am a Leafs fan.
I think that covers it. Did I miss any?'ll probably do a longer post on the Potvin/Hextall fight some day. But when it happened, some friends and I were working late in a college computer lab. This was the early days of the Internet, when you could get boxscores but before video highlights were easy to find.
My friend is seeing who won the Leaf game and suddenly looks up and says "Oh my god, Hextall fought Potvin tonight". And the discussion immediately turned to our organizational goaltending depth because we just all assumed that Potvin was dead. The idea that quiet little Felix could survive, let alone speedbag, Ron Hextall just never occurred to us..
Trust me, people: BOBBY NADEAU (J.Roy's "victim") will NEVER play beyond the Quebec junior league after this*. Who in the NHL would draft such a WUSS, who curls up in foetal position while being punched? He's already a "punchline" or "posterboy" in Quebec for his NON-reply to Roy's beatdown of him. And think of Nadeau's girlfriend (if he has one) for a second... She would HAVE to be hesitant (or straight up FLEE) if ever he "pops the big question". You wanna have KIDS and start a FAMILY with that guy? :/

A drama has been playing out in the eastern portion of the United States at a time when the nation has been primarily focused on the dramatic rise in national gasoline prices and the political hunt for oil speculators. This regional drama portends higher and more volatile petroleum prices ahead for the populous and prosperous residents of the Eastern seaboard states, especially those in the mid-Atlantic and New England regions.
The drama arose from decisions by ConocoPhillips (COP-NYSE) and Sunoco Inc. (SUN-NYSE) to close and/or sell their refineries located in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area. Those two companies own three refineries in the region, two of which were shut down last fall.
The three refineries accounted for roughly 40% of the U.S. East Coast refining capacity as of last summer. The single refinery still operating is Sunoco's Philadelphia plant with 335,000 barrels of capacity per day, representing roughly 24% of the region's 2011 total capacity. The industry also had previously shut down two small refineries in Virginia and New Jersey during 2010 so capacity was already tight.
The Northeast refineries have supplied about 40% of the gasoline, 60% of the ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) and 45% of the home heating oil consumed in the region in recent years with the balance of supply coming from the Gulf Coast.
The Energy Information Administration (EIA) prepared a study of the impact of the closure of these refineries on the supply situation for these petroleum products in the region. The EIA has continually updated the study as events have transpired, probably because there is the potential that these refinery shutdowns will impact Washington, D.C., the site of our politicians, government workers and importantly EIA employees.
The refinery shutdowns are highlighting various challenges the energy industry confronts and will continue to have to deal with as it faces shrinking oil processing capacity in the region.
The first challenge is how to deal with the shifting product mix that will occur as the various states in the Northeast implement their mandated shifts to ULSD for heating oil use. This will add meaningful demand to a market that is already supply-challenged. The issue is further compounded by the seasonal nature of heating oil demand, which exaggerates the level of demand and as a result will strain the petroleum storage and distribution system throughout the region.
A second challenge will be how to get additional supply either from domestic or international sources into the region. The Jones Act transportation restrictions involved in moving additional domestic oil and/or refined petroleum product from the Gulf Coast to the Northeast by sea will complicate and add costs to the supply effort. Importing more international oil will create transportation challenges and add more expensive foreign oil to the supply mix boosting consumer prices.
In order to manage limited refined petroleum supplies during World War II, the federal government grouped states together and created the Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts (PADD) for ease of regulation and control. All the states along the Atlantic Seaboard, with the addition of Pennsylvania and West Virginia, were grouped into PADD 1. In turn, that region was subdivided into three geographic regions -- New England, Central Atlantic and Lower Atlantic. Each of these sub-regions have their own unique supply and demand dynamics.
As of July 2011, the estimated population of the states comprising PADD 1 is 116.1 million, which represents over 37% of America's total residents. The refining capacity in PADD 1 is 1.4 million barrels per day, which includes the two refineries that have already been shut, but falls short of meeting the region's consumption. The closed refineries had a total capacity of 363,000 barrels per day, or about 26% of the region's total capacity.
The EIA publishes data on the operating capacity of refineries by PADD, their gross inputs and their utilization. As shown in Exhibit 15, PADD 1 is the only region in the country that has lost refinery capacity over the six-year span 2005 to 2011. Last year, PADD 1 had the lowest utilization of any region in the country and had experienced the largest utilization decline during the six-years. These statistics demonstrate that the Northeast refineries are experiencing challenging economics despite being situated in the midst of over a third of the nation's population.
Most people are focused on the impact the possible shutdowns of these refineries will have on the supply and price of gasoline. To understand the outlook for this fuel, we turn to the historical data for gasoline supply and demand in the region and the forecast the EIA has prepared. The forecast is derived from the short-term outlook report prepared quarterly by the EIA.
The closure of the refineries will result in a deficit of gasoline supply for 2012 and an even larger deficit in 2013. The challenge will be how the industry can eliminate this shortfall. Getting more supply into the region is the primary goal, but if additional supply is not available, or cannot be secured in a timely manner, the gap between supply and consumption will be closed through sharply higher retail gasoline prices.
In order to assess the capability of the current regional petroleum distribution system to bring in additional supplies, it helps to understand what resources are available and what hurdles they face. Exhibit 17 shows a graphic from the EIA's website that locates the ports, pipelines, product terminals, refineries and ethanol facilities located east of the Mississippi River, which is a larger area than PADD 1.
The EIA's PADD 1 gasoline supply and demand forecast calls for consumption to decline by about 120,000 barrels per day (b/d) while refinery output is projected to decline by 170,000 b/d. The shortage has been offset by increased movement of supplies into the region from other areas of the country.
The question is whether, given the sharply reduced refinery output due to the planned closure of the three local refineries, additional gasoline supplies can be moved from other areas of the country, notably the Gulf Coast, to offset the output cut. Or will the industry need to ramp up imports?
As Exhibit 18 shows, gasoline imports into PADD 1 have declined since 2007 with the major reduction being Western European imports. A meaningful amount of imports come from Canada and from refineries in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The complicating factor at the present time is that a major refinery in the Virgin Islands has recently been closed.
Securing increased gasoline supplies, along with other petroleum products, from the Gulf Coast will require that these supplies be moved in tankers or barges that meet Jones Act requirements. The Jones Act regulates maritime commerce in U.S. waters and between U.S. ports. The Jones Act mandates that vessels operating in U.S. trade be built in U.S. shipyards, be owned by U.S. companies (they cannot have more than 25% ownership by non-Americans) and be operated by U.S. crews.
According to MARAD, there are only 56 Jones Act tankers representing four million deadweight tons available. These tankers and their capacity represent less than 1% of the world's tanker fleet. In response to this situation, the coastal barge industry has stepped up with claims that it can help meet the transportation needs for this region. Of course, vessels that operate under the Jones Act are more expensive, which will boost the cost of petroleum products that move into PADD 1.
In the case of ULSD, demand in the region will be boosted by the mandated use of this fuel for home-heating oil in various states. Beginning this year, New York State is the first of five Northeastern states to require ULSD be used for space heating replacing higher-sulfur distillate fuels. This phase-out of higher-sulfur distillate in favor of ULSD will expand in 2014 to Massachusetts, New Jersey and Vermont and to Maine in 2016. The EIA estimates that this switch will increase ULSD consumption in the Northeast by 20%.
The complicating factor of the switch to ULSD is the seasonal nature of heating oil demand. The peaks and valleys of heating oil demand mean that supply volumes need to be brought in during the low demand period and stored in order to meet the peaks of winter consumption. This seasonality will tax the existing terminal facilities in the region. The volatility of demand is shown in Exhibit 20.
The final petroleum fuel market is regular heating oil. As shown in the supply/demand analysis prepared by the EIA along with its forecast (Exhibit 21), the in-region supply decline will be offset by the elimination of heating oil exports.
When we focus on the petroleum infrastructure in PADD 1A and 1B, it becomes clearer that significant changes will be necessary to deal with the permanent closure of the three Philadelphia refineries. Those refineries have been the primary source of supply for the region, especially for areas such as Pittsburgh and central Pennsylvania as well as western New York State. It is possible that those product pipelines that serve those areas now may eventually need to be reversed in order to haul refined product from Canada and the Midwest to the demand centers in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast states.
The recent news reports suggest that the ConocoPhillips Trainer, Pennsylvania refinery, currently shut down, may be sold to a group headed by Delta Air Lines Inc. (DAL-NYSE) and restarted. The news reports also suggest there is a local buyer for the Sunoco Philadelphia refinery. If both of these transactions occur, then the crisis scenario outlined by the EIA's report may be avoided. While that would be good news for PADD 1, it does not eliminate the structural challenges the domestic petroleum industry is facing and will continue to face in the future as demand trends and supply sources shift.
We suggest readers of the Musings should go to the EIA web site and read the series of reports dealing with this Northeast refining capacity issue. The reports are instructive in educating people about the challenges the public and the petroleum industry will confront in the future, and what the options are to overcome them. The challenges and obstacles for resolving the issues are many and often subtle. An educated public, however, will greatly assist the debate about what changes society is willing to accept, since each choice will carry a cost. | http://www.downstreamtoday.com/(S(bjwitm55arwswf45ternebr3))/news/article.aspx?a_id=36086&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 | 2013-05-18T10:52:58 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
