To reduce the country’s dependence on oil and gas, Tunisia’s government has undertaken steps to promote the development and use of renewable energy
A law establishing an “energy conservation system” on energy management in 2005 was immediately followed with the creation of a funding mechanism – the National Fund for Energy Management – to support increased capacity in renewable energy technologies and also improved energy efficiency. The replenishment of this Fund is based on a duty levied on the first registration of private, petrol-powered and diesel powered cars and on import duty or local production duty of air-conditioning equipments with the exclusion of those produced for exports.
In December 2009, the government presented the first national Solar Energy Plan and other complementary plans with the objective of increasing the share of renewable energy sources from just under 1 percent to 4.3 per cent in 2014. The plan includes the use of solar photovoltaic systems, solar water heating systems and solar concentrated power units for electricity generation.
Total financial resources to implement the plan have been estimated at $2.5 billion, including $175 million from the National Fund, $530 million from the public sector, $1,660 million from private sector funds, and $24 million from international cooperation, all to be spent by 2016 on 40 renewable energy projects. Approximately 40% of the resources are devoted to the development of energy export infrastructure.
The energy savings expected to result from the Solar Energy Plan could reach 22 per cent for 2016, with a reduction of 1.3 million tonnes per year of CO2.
Solar water heating systems – the PROSOL programme
The Tunisian Solar Programme (PROSOL) – a joint initiative of the Tunisian National Agency for Energy Conservation (ANME), the state utility Société Tunisienne de l'Electricité et de Gaz (STEG), the United Nations Environment Programme and the Italian Ministry for the Environment, Land and Sea – provides an example of solar thermal market development.
Financial and fiscal support combines a capital grant qualifying for a VAT exemption, customs duty reduction and a bank loan with a reduced interest rate. Repayment of the loan is organized through the regular utility bill of the state electric utility STEG, with local banks receiving support that allows them to finance SWH projects with reduced interest rates.
This arrangement has generated direct financial benefits for the end users, when comparing the size of the monthly instalments for a SWH system to the earlier electricity bills. A complementary interest rate subsidy was available during the first two years (2005-2006) of the programme, reducing the interest rate of the loan to 0 per cent to the final end user. This support was removed in 2007 and annual interest rates for loan repayment have been 6.5 per cent.
The government provides a subsidy of 20 per cent of the system cost or $75 per square meter, while customers are expected to finance a minimum of 10 per cent of the purchase and installation costs.
Over 50,000 Tunisian families now get their hot water from the sun based on loans amounting to more than $5 million in 2005 and $7.8 million in 2006 – a substantial leverage to PROSOL’s initial cost of $2.5 million. With installed surface of the programme reaching 400 000 m2 , the government has now set a more ambitious target of 750,000 m2 for the period 2010-2014, a level comparable to much larger countries such as Spain or Italy. As of 2008, PROSOL helped avoid 214,000 tonnes of cumulative CO2 emissions. Jobs have been created as 42 technology suppliers were officially registered and at least 1000 companies installed the systems.
In conclusion, the experience in Tunisia demonstrates the potential returns on investing in renewable energy, creating new jobs, and reducing dependency on fuel imports.

The Pre-Purchase inspection is highly recommended for many reasons. Knowledge of any issues or faults before committing to a purchase could save major repair or replacement expenses afterwards.
This is an example of a caravan I repaired. The customer bought the caravan from a dealer. After 5 months the owner noticed a wall in the caravan developed signs of water ingress: dampness and rippling of the wallboard. Sadly the dealer was not prepared to undertake the work. I identified the source of the leak, sealed it then repaired the internal wall.
The Pre-Purchase Inspection could take up to 2 hours to complete depending on the condition of the caravan. At the end of the inspection you will receive a report highlighting any issues or faults. The report is then discussed with the customer. If required, a quote for the work to correct faults or carry out repairs will be provided.
Depending on the location where the caravan to be inspected is, there could a mileage charge to cover the cost of travel.
Please note that the Pre-Purchase inspection is NOT a service.
The Pre-Purchase Inspection includes many points but the key ones are:
- Dampness Checks
- Gas Checks
- Electrical Checks
- Operation of gas and space heaters
- Operation of lighting (12v and 230v)
- Check floor for delamination
- Taps and water pump operation
- Waste water pipework checks
- Locks operation
- Corner Steadies
- Road Lights checks

We've Sensed It.
We've Seen The Signs.
Now... It's Happening. behaviour? Is it some kind of new terrorist attack, an experiment gone wrong, a diabolical toxic weapon, an out-of-control virus? Is it being transmitted by air, by water... how?
The latest blockbuster from acclaimed director M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable) is the terrifying psychological thriller The Happening, about an unexplained wave of shocking deaths spreading across America..
Product reviews...
The underlying idea was an interesting one. Plants releasing a toxin that causes people to commit suicide. Quite a dark plot, if I was being honest, and not the sort of film that you would want to watch with certain people. An entire movie, that effectively shows large groups of people committing suicide in gruesome ways, whether it be, walking off of scaffolding, hanging themselves, lying down under a ride-on lawnmower, even climbing into a lion's den and taunting the giant cats into eating them.
The actual physics and visuals of it however, looked absolutely ridiculous. People running away screaming when the grass starts to shake and wave in their direction. But here you have that occurring. A family separated, trying to escape to safety to reunite. Mark Wahlberg again is present using his skills at looking angry and confused as he figures out that the grass doesn't like big groups, and he splits from other survivors, again and again as the plants become less and less tolerant, until even one person sets it off.
This film was only enjoyable if you were after a laugh. Watching Wahlberg running for his life away from the grass is certainly one way of getting a good chuckle in.
The Sixth Sense was a wonderful movie but since then Shyamalan seems to have lost the plot when it comes to his movies resulting in some, well... crap movies and this is one of the worst.
You have the typical couple who are having relationship issues, throw a child into the mix that they end up having to protect and care for and people killing themselves in the hundreds and you have this truly bizarre movie that really should have never been made.
Some of the special effects are ok, greatly needed for all the death scenes but the whole premise of the movie is just pathetic and one of the worst I have ever seen. So many plot holes and bits that just don't make any sense like everyone around you frozen but the one person you need to view all the horror. And then near the end, seriously, it wasn't air-tight!
This was a movie that had me laugh far more than it should have, especially the fleeing scenes.
The premise of this story is quite a good one. Something is causing people to cause themselves harm. Everyone freezes and then does something to commit suicide. On the run, trying to survive are Elliot, his wife Anna and his friends eight year old daughter Jess.
This, well, wasn't that good a movie, too many problems, and not enough things to help it out. The first, is everyone freezes, literally everyone in the close vicinity, and yet one person doesn't so that you have a good reason to pan around?? Then there is the, um, horrifying thing that are fleeing (and I don't mean horrifying in a good way).
This has to be one of the worst horror movies I have seen, yes, the death scenes are far from pleasant, but the end result and what they realise they are running from... Sorry, but I can't take this film seriously.

(KMAland) -- The KMA Sports Hall of Fame is back for a second year.
One year after introducing our first 22 inductees, KMA Sports started the announcements for the 2017-18 class on Monday morning.
The first announcement, which was heard on KMA's Upon Further Review at 11:50, is Glenwood's Taylor Kaufman.
The former Rams standout led Glenwood to their first and only state baseball championship in 2010, posting a 12-0 mark with 126 strikeouts and a 0.90 ERA in 70 innings pitched.
Kaufman would go on to add another 113 strikeouts and a 0.76 ERA in 55 1/3 innings his senior season. He also posted a 0.31 ERA and a 0.29 mark during his freshman and sophomore campaigns.
While the numbers are eye-opening, Kaufman says he will never forget the feeling of pitching his team to a state championship win.
"I can go back right now," he said, "and I can picture everything. The smell in the air. Just that feeling of being in that situation is very special. You don't forget something like that."
Kaufman, who would go on to play for the University of Iowa, remembers his Glenwood years fondly.
"It was a great school to play for," he said. "I had a lot of opportunities at a very young age. I am very grateful for every chance I was given. The coaching staff got me out there and got me some repetitions. What a great school and opportunity."
The 6-foot-2 left-hander was a four-time All-Conference, a three-time All-District and a three-time All-State honoree during his career at Glenwood. While he was known most for his pitching, he set 21 offensive records and 12 pitching bests in school history.
The son of Curt and Lisa Kaufman is a human physiology graduate from Iowa and currently at Kirkwood working towards his respiratory therapy degree.
Kaufman will be inducted into the KMA Sports Hall of Fame at a later date to be determined. The full schedule of announcements is listed below. Each announcement can be heard live on UFR at 11:50 AM each weekday.

Brahmic harmonization means ensuring that the repertoire and code positions
for scripts derived from the Brahmi script (practically all the scripts in
Southeast Asia) are as close to one another as possible. This has the
advantage (in India where the practice was established) of enabling people
to read data in their preferred script. This is especially useful for
languages which are closely related, such as the Indo-European or Dravidian
languages. Imagine walking into a telephone booth in Trivandrum and
dialling up an electronic telephone directory. It comes up in Tamil, which
you don't read -- but you press a button and the display switches to
Gurmukhi, or Devanagari -- or even Khmer or Burmese. So you find your
friend's name easily. All based on the same data.
Why members of WG2 have believed that Brahmic harmonization was a good idea
is that it means that basic software for all Brahmic scripts would be
pretty much the same, only relatively small script-specific changes need be
made to support other Brahmic scripts, whether they be major scripts like
Khmer or Burmese or Sinhalese, or minor scripts like Manipuri or Lepcha or
Tai Lu. Sorting and word-breaking algorithms would be written specifically
for each script, whether or not harmonization is used, because of
peculiarities in each of the scripts which make it necessary.
Another important reason for harmonization is the importance of Sanskrit
and Pali, both as religious and scientific languages in their own right and
as source languages for modern words used in Khmer, Burmese (etc.). The
corpus of Sanskrit and Pali data is of such an enormous size -- and of such
enormous cultural importance to Asia and to all the world -- that the
notion of making data transfer for common texts more difficult should shock
us. In this sense it is also a shame that Thai and Lao use a very different
set of coding conventions -- but note that they are harmonized with one
another for the same reasons discussed here. You have said: "In my opinion,
the code assignment should be arranged as close as possible to the way each
script are used and taught in school." This makes data transfer (for
instance for _common_ texts like the Buddhist Canon) far more difficult
than it need be, and requires new software to be written for each and every
script, where harmonization allows a common source core to operate for each
script. This is less expensive -- not a small concern for the users of
these scripts. Not to do this -- to base each script's code table on "what
is taught in school" -- can certainly be done, but what is the advantage?
The ordinary user won't see the code table. In the Latin script, just
transferring data from the PC to the Macintosh can be a problem or an
irritation for people, who know nothing about _why_ their vowels come out
wrong. We should not cripple the users of Asian scripts with the same
thing. (It's true folks: much as I love the Macintosh (and gods know I do),
I wish the code table were Latin 1. Hmm... No, I don't. I wish it were
10646/Unicode!)
Brahmic harmonization is a term I use because the scripts are based on the
Brahmi script of King Ashoka. Hugh Ross has used the term Indic
harmonization, and others have referred to ISCII, the Indian national
standard. I don't like to do this because 1) what is in 10646 is not
identical with ISCII and 2) the harmonization is based on structural and
historical similarities and not on anything particularly Indian.
Best regards,
Michael Everson, Everson Gunn Teoranta

Ahem. I would like someone to help me understand the purpose of this
proposal. Apparently many folks want a fuller set of terminal emulator control
pictures. It is not clear to me how these are very useful. If one wishes to
be in the mode of displaying all charaters in a datastream, controls and all,
how are these control pictures used? Is a control code mapped to the control
picture and then mapped to a value in a font? How is this a big advantage? Is
it the hope that if the control pictures are encoded, a fuller and more
standard set of glyphs will be developed?
Thanks in advance,
Lisa

- Cleaned -- my closet looks like it exploded and I have clothes, shoes, various accessories all jumbled together in a big mess on the floor.
- Find a home for the contents of my bag from the Beauty Bash -- at the moment all the contents are still in the totebag sitting in front of my dresser. I use a product but instead of placing it somewhere where it might belong I just toss it back into the bag.
- Clean my ceiling fan -- it was stopped the other day and its incredibly gross, thats why I keep it moving, if its moving I can't see the insane amount of dust thats on top of the blades.
- Wash clothes - I have two full laundry baskets of clothes that need to be washed. Its not hard I know, but yet, I always put off washing clothes until I absolutely HAVE to do it. I am almost there but decided I could wait another day or two.
- Took Sandy to the park on Friday to enjoy the absolutely beautiful gorgeous day. We walked around the lakes, wandered through the gardens, stopping to smell the flowers and chat with other people out enjoying the day. Laid on the hillside in the grass just looking up at the perfect blue sky.
- Did a bit of retracing my steps so to speak. I drove around the campus of the college where I did my undergrad degree, in a few weeks they will become a university. While there won't be that much that changes I wanted to remember what it was like as it was when I was there. I hadn't been on campus in over two years. I also stopped a few other places along the way to reminisce.
- Had brunch and caught up with my best friend. We talked and laughed, then went to my cousins softball game. Once again, Saturday was a beautiful day -- we enjoyed the sunshine, rolling up our sleeves to get a tan. After the game we did some shopping and took in a movie (Hannah Montana and yes, I can say that without shame!).
- Sat on the swing with my mom sharing a bottle of wine, just relaxing and laughing over some recent events. My mom is one of my best friends and I cherish moments like that.
- Caught up with another great friend I hadn't spoken to in several weeks. She has twin daughters now so her time is incredibly limited. Even though we haven't been able to find time in our schedules to get together, just having a phone conversation that lasted a good solid hour was a treat.
- I slept in, baked cookies, watched a few episodes of the Gilmore Girls on DVD, read a few books, and took a nap.
What did you do this weekend?
20 comments:
i had the exact same thought about my closet. it's ridiculous!
OMG. Gilmore Girls on DVD? So effin jealous.
What I should have done : Study for my Math Lab BAC TOMORROW. Yes, it counts for my graduation.
What I did : Shopped and slept. Because I'm good like that.
all of that constitutes a great weekend! the messy closet will still be there when it starts to rain!
It sounds like you did exactly what you needed to do- dreamy! =)
i had a similar weekend in that i did very little that resembles productivity but i had a total blast. the bf was in town, and saturday was the start of derby festival! we watched fireworks, ate fair food, rode our bikes around the nature park, and then spend a rainy lazy sunday at the movies. YAY for unproductive but perfect weekends!!!
p.s. i forgot to mention that i have a 30+ page paper due tomorrow and 3 exams next week. hee hee! :)
Yea! I'm so glad you had such a great weekend. I spent the weekend with my BFF! It was fantastic :)
Your mess will still be there next weeK. So glad you enjoyed a nice weekend!
Sometimes good weather HAS to trump all other plans. Instead of cleaning our house Saturday afternoon, we hung out outside with our neighbors playing bags and letting the dogs run free.
Good weather makes ALL the difference. I wanted to do pretty much everything on your list and did nothing like that.
Instead I went to see Cats, up to the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival and visited local wineries.
WAY more fun.
I prefer the stuff you actually did over the stuff you should've done. I got to spend all Saturday at at track meet, the weather was absolutely wonderful.
Glad you had a good weekend! The laundry can always wait.
Celebrated Irish's sisters birthday with the funfetti cupcakes.
Watched Moonstruck while eating cereal
Beer Festival with good friends
Two naps throughout the whole weekend
Spent Saturday night with myself and loved it
Saw "Sunshine Cleaning"
Did four loads of my laundry and four loads of Irish's laundry (with his help, of course)
Played Scratchers Lottery Tickets
Tried a new Mexican restaurant (wasn't that good)
Finished a book and started a new one
Took Jack on tons of walks!
Your weekend sounds awesome, as
far as I'm concerned. Baking cookies, Gilmore girls, reading in bed, swings, visiting your college, umm...GREAT stuff!
PS...my ceiling fan is terribly
dusty as well. After reading about
your's, I checked mine out and cringed. I think I'll take care of
the mess right now!
I also should have washed my clothes and cleaned my closet! but I was doing other to-do list errands instead, like washing the dishes, going grocery shopping, etc. I say, as long as you do something fun and worthwhile (like it sounds you did) instead of errands, it's ok to slack on the to-do list. not so ok if all you do is watch TV :) which I have been guilty of in the past...
oh, I wish I could have taken my pup, Hazel, to the park but she has a bum foot, so maybe next week! I have been dying to take her to the "duck park" in my town. She would get a kick out of that :)
Could Sandy be any cuter? Seriously?!?
My closet is in major need of a clenaing too...which I should be doing right now but don't feel like it!
Do NOT feel bad about that. Things like cleaning or doing laundry are on the standard weekend to-do list. Your weekend sounds like more fun anyhow :)
Pretty, pretty flowers!
Wow, you actually clean your ceiling fan? Impressive!
I'm glad you and Sandy had fun at the park! Weekends as beautiful as this one was should not be spent indoors!!
Sometimes you really do need to just STOP and smell the roses....literally!!! Glad you had a GREAT weekend.
I went to Kiersten's competition on Saturday, then to the park with Christian. Sunday I was nothing but a vegetable, and I enjoyed every single minute of it!!!

As the country continues to be tested by a weak economic recovery, award–winning broadcast journalist Judy Woodruff highlighted the challenges graduates face as they head out into the world.
“The prosperity that my and your parents’ generation enjoyed for the past several decades – indeed, that you enjoyed when you arrived here at Union - has stalled in the aftermath of the financial collapse and the worst recession since the Great Depression,” Woodruff told the 520 students in the Class of 2011 who received their degrees under overcast skies during Commencement on Hull Plaza Sunday.
“Our economy is now recovering, but it’s a long, slow recovery, still painful for those unemployed or underemployed. It will probably take another three or four.”
Woodruff has covered news and politics on a national level for more than three decades, including CNN, NBC and PBS, where she is senior correspondent and co-anchor of “The PBS NewsHour.”
She encouraged the graduates to be resourceful. Recounting how she was once removed as an anchor early in her career, she also told the graduates to be prepared to fail along the way.
“What matters is not that you fail, but how you respond,” said Woodruff, who received an honorary doctor of humane letters. “Hate failure, and then pick yourself up, dust yourself off and go on your journey to making a difference.”
Woodruff’s appearance at Union capped an academic year that featured programs focusing on women and their unique contributions to society during the College’s celebration of its 40th anniversary of co-education.
She cited the recent accomplishments of a number of women in a variety of fields. Still, Woodruff cautioned that “only 16 percent of the U.S. Congress, 15 percent of corporate America’s senior office holders and 24 percent of full professors” are women.
For the full text of Woodruff’s remarks, click here.
The College also awarded an honorary doctor of letters to poet Marvin Bell. He was nominated by Jordan Smith, professor of English. Bell was Smith’s thesis adviser at the University of Iowa’s Writers’ Workshop, where Bell was the Flannery O’Connor Professor of Letters until his retirement in 2005.
In his charge to the graduates, President Stephen C. Ainlay enumerated an impressive list of academic, athletic and service accomplishments achieved by members of the class. He cited winners of Fulbright Fellowships and other prestigious awards, as well as students who traveled to Ghana to build libraries and to Ethiopia to bring clean water. He also celebrated the senior members of the men’s hockey and lacrosse teams who qualified for the NCAA tournament for the first time in the school’s history.
“Because of all this, in you I have great faith; in you I have great hope,” Ainlay told the class.
For the full text of Ainlay’s remarks, click here.
Student speaker Andrew N.T. Churchill reminded his classmates of how they graced the campus with “our energy and enthusiasm, that we have awakened it with our dreams.”
Now that their journey at Union is complete, Churchill, a political science and French major from Oceanside, N.Y, wondered what’s next in store for the Class of 2011.

Great street traction, does ok on groomed dirtThese are the only tires i run on the pavement - the traction/life ratio is exceptional and they are very strong against merciless urban freeride.
Great dealI got this tire to use on the front of a dirt jumper. It works great on wooden jumps/features like at The Lumberyard. Works well on dirt pump tracks too. A good all purpose tire.
Good street tireI have these on a commuter bike and they perform well in both wet and dry conditions. No sliding on slick sidewalks or roads with very good cornering performance. I have ridden these on dirt paths as well and they perform well.
Kenda TireThis was a great replacement for the tires on my vintage Trek. Work great on the pavement and they are ok on dirt roads.
Street/DJPerfect for street/DJ riding conditions. It works well in wet conditions, good surface and smooth compound, it will provide you a nice traction on many surfaces. I suggest 2.3" size for DJ, they will work very good. 2.1" are great for street riding. Are cheap and light in comparission with other brands.
Good all around tireGreat tire for running around town with some dirt and grass trails mixed in. Decent price.
sweet tirs for the streetThese tires are great for the street. Not so much on the dirt. Seem super tough and ready for urban assult
awesome tiresgot these buddies for my urban bike.
3 out of my 4 bike are K RADsome think this is a BMX tire, but I bought the 2.3 and 2.5 for my mountain bikes. I am soon ordering the 1.95 for my xc bike. Why? Because they grip on hard pack and roll easily on asphalt. Its a win win situation. The easy roll on dirt helps you climb faster and the traction on the way down is good too.
Ridden to the threadI rode these to the ground, couldn't get enough of them. Going from nobbies to these is like slipping on ice. Fast rolling, yet still grabs metal, rocks, etc.
k rads are radits rad man like its totally rad, its sick man, like its so sick. i like it.
Simple performanceGot these for commuting since I wanted something I can use on the dirt also. They work great for the road since the knobs are too raised and fine on dirt if you're into dirt jumping or smooth fire road riding without too much of an inline. Basically a great versatile putz around kind of tire.

Well, My Del Toro x Moda Operandi sure took their sweet time to arrive but were worth the wait nonthelesss..
I went for the black velvet ones, Prince Albert slippers featuring Angels wing & a Pitchfork..
They were a bit hard for the first wear but I guess that means they won't go all destressed and worn out in a short time, so I suggest wearing sheer socks or ankle socks the first few wears to avoid un pleasant blisters..
Red ribbon detail at the back to give it a bit more character, the thing is I was surprised that a lot of people came to stop and ask about where I got them.. Worth investing in another pair I'm guessin..

Clinical Studies
Our investigator-initiated clinical trials span many clinical settings, including surgery or chemoradiotherapy as primary treatment, as well as recurrent or metastatic disease. Clinical trials are led by head and neck surgeons, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists, demonstrating the depth of multidisciplinary collaborations and the balanced development of the HNCP.
Selected Publications
- A phase I clinical study was conducted combining inhibition of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) with an anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody and Src family kinases (SFK) with dasatinib in solid malignancies. Dasatinib 150 mg once daily plus weekly cetuximab is recommended for phase II studies. Early-onset headache was ameliorated by starting dasatinib after cetuximab (Argiris et.al., Invest New Drugs. 2011 Sep 1).
- In a phase II clinical trial, HNCP investigators studied the effect of bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), to potentiate the activity of pemetrexed, a multitargeted antifolate, in patients with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). Results show promising efficacy outcomes (Argiris et.al., J Clin Oncol. 2011 Mar 20;29(9):1140-5).

Choosing The Furniture During the Victorian era, many much earlier varieties of chair were also revived and mass production was able to make many pastiches, such as Jacobethan and Victorian Gothic which are essentially copied from different aspects of period detail. However, there have been many very fine faithful reproductions of 18th century originals made in those times that later pieces usually hold their value well. Antique buyers are not born with skills in identifying antiques but instead develop it overtime. Just such as any other form of business, a person totally new on the arena of antiquities may encounter various kinds of discouragement that could can be found in several numerous dollars of losses. Thus it can be vital for a whole new collector to build up skills or personal guidelines to ensure that losses could be prevented.

We want home to become beautiful and also to reflect who we have been. The kitchen is often the center of the home. It is the room by which among life's great pleasures is prepared, food. Special attention emerged while decorating this sacred space. We fill it with electrical appliances, utensils, and groceries. Most from the time when these everything has been devote there's no space left for actually preparing the foodstuff. The design solution because of this problem could be the 'Kitchen Island'. In this article we will find out what it really is, what include the different kinds and cover a couple of tips on selecting the correct one to your kitchen.
Diego Badon - Sunday-October-13-2019
The best looking kitchens within the world can't constitute for poor planning. If the guiding principle from the "work triangle"--meaning the closeness from the refrigerator, sink, and range--is broken, then your kitchen will always feel and look awkward. Functionality has to guide the master plan, plus a connection towards the outdoors and nature usually leads a fantastic design. While a tiny window over your home sink used to be your kitchen highlight, now large windows and glass doors leading onto the deck and patio will be the norm.

PHILADELPHIA — In a study of more than 18,000 patients having surgery for hip fracture, researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania found that the use of regional anesthesia, instead of in making rates of morbidity and mortality increasing rapidly after age 80. A hip fracture almost always requires surgical treatment, followed by weeks to months of rehabilitation.
Dr. Neuman and his co-authors examined a retrospective cohort of patients undergoing surgery for hip fracture in 126 hospitals in New York in 2007 and 2008, which included a total of 18,158 patients. They compared rates of inpatient mortality, major pulmonary complications, and major cardiovascular complications among patients receiving regional anesthesia--including epidural, spinal or nerve block procedures--versus general anesthesia.."
The study was funded, in part, by the Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research (FAER). For more information, visit the Anesthesiology.
Question: After having surgery for hip fracture, patients can expect to be discharged the same day as

Altered Activity in Tandem Receptors
Points to Further Complexity
in Schizophrenia Pathology
(Philadelphia, PA) - Researchers at the University
of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, in collaboration with scientists
at the City University of New York, have identified a striking dysregulation
in neuronal receptor activity in the postmortem brain tissue from patients
with schizophrenia. By stimulating receptors in the prefrontal cortex,
the research team tracked heightened levels of erbB4 receptor activity,
as well as decreased NMDA receptor activity in the tissue from patients
with schizophrenia. Additionally, they were able to identify a relationship
between these two receptor groups, suggesting a mechanism for decreased
NMDA receptor function that has long been suspected in schizophrenia.
The researchers report their findings in this week's advanced online issue
of Nature Medicine.
Schizophrenia, a mental disorder afflicting approximately one percent
of the world population, is characterized by a variety of symptoms such
as: hallucinations, paranoia, disorganized behavior, and the inability
to experience pleasure. Previous studies of the brains of patients with
schizophrenia suggest altered function in the prefrontal cortex, the brain's
organizational center for cognitive function, personality expression,
and behavioral control. International, large-scale genetic studies of
patients with schizophrenia have pointed researchers to a gene called
neuregulin 1 (NRG1), which appears to play a role in determining
one's susceptibility to the disease.
Chang-Gyu Hahn, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry,
Steven Arnold, MD, Associate Professor of Psychiatry
and Neurology, and Raquel Gur, MD, PhD, Professor of
Psychiatry, and colleagues at Penn, in collaboration with Hoau-Yan Wang,
PhD, at The City University of New York, took an approach to use NRG1
protein to activate its neuronal receptor, erbB4, to measure the molecular
response in postmortem brain tissue.
The binding of NRG1 to erbB4 stimulates neuronal receptor activity by
adding phosphate molecules to the site of the receptor. The activation
of erbB4, in turn, kicks off a cascade of molecular events within the
neuron. When comparing the initial steps of neurochemical activity in
postmortem brain tissue of mentally healthy patients to those with schizophrenia,
the researchers discovered that NRG1-erbB4 activity was significantly
greater in the brains of patients with schizophrenia.
Hahn and colleagues also studied a second neuron receptor called NMDA,
which receives input from the neurotransmitter glutamate. Previous studies
at other labs have demonstrated the relationship between erbB4 and NMDA
receptor activity and have led researchers to believe that enhanced activity
of erbB4 receptors results in a decrease in NMDA receptor activity.
Low levels of NMDA receptor activity are believed to contribute to symptoms
of schizophrenia. By stimulating NMDA receptors with glutamate, and measuring
the subsequent changes in phosphorylation at the receptor, Penn scientists
were able to track an impairment in NMDA receptor activation in the postmortem
brain tissue from patients with schizophrenia.
"The fact that our studies of the brains of patients with schizophrenia
demonstrate both erbB4 receptor overactivity as well as NMDA underactivity
suggests the existence of a relationship between these two receptor groups,"
explains Hahn. "Altered NRG1-erbB4 signaling may contribute to NMDA
receptor hypofunction in schizophrenia." This finding is the first
to display NMDA receptor hypofunction in the brains of patients with schizophrenia.
ErbB4 and NMDA receptors are located at the post-synaptic junction, or
the chemical receiving end of the neuron. Both, erbB4 and NMDA receptors,
are bound to scaffolding proteins called post-synaptic density (PSD),
which can bridge receptor groups together and enhance their interactions.
"PSD proteins can act like a raft in the ocean," explains Hahn.
"Just as holding onto a raft increases one's chance of survival,
by binding onto PSD proteins, NMDA and erbB4 receptors can enhance their
activity.”
Hahn hypothesizes that schizophrenia may be, in part, caused by the convergence
of multiple factors (both genetic and epigenetic) at the PSD, which, in
turn, alters the interaction of the molecules in the cellular environment,
resulting in the symptoms of schizophrenia. In a continued attempt to
understand the differences between the brains of mentally healthy patients
and those with schizophrenia, future studies by the research team at Penn
will focus on identifying differences in interactive dynamics of proteins
in the PSD.
The postmortem brain stimulation method, established in this study, breaks
out of the boundaries of previous research using postmortem brain tissue.
Postmortem studies have historically focused on snapshot analyses of the
brain at the time of death. This new method allows investigation of functional
responses of brain tissue to stimulation. "Our hope is that this
study will shift our postmortem methodologies from limited comparative
studies to a more experimental approach,” explains Arnold. “This
will allow us to tease apart the molecular complexities that contribute
to mental illnesses such as schizophrenia.”
Study co-authors are Dan-Sung Cho, Konrad Talbot, Wade H. Berrettini,
Joshua Kamins, Karin E. Borgmann-Winter, and Steven J. Siegel, all from
Penn, as well as Kalindi Bakshi, from The City University of New York
Medical School and Robert J. Gallop, from West Chester University. This
research was funded in part by the National Institutes of Health and the

Checking something off our fall bucket list, we took the girls apple picking over the weekend! It seemed to be the shortest apple picking excursion ever for some reason, our bag filled up so quickly! Regardless, Ellie said she had fun and the weather was pretty much perfect for the occasion.
I'm going to keep on holding my babies as long as possible, these days of little babies go by way too quickly. :)
We grabbed apple cider donuts on our way out (possibly my favorite kind of donuts on the planet), and went home to bake an apple pie - in case the donuts weren't enough! ;) It was mostly a flour-all-over-the-floor kind of chaos, and it's some kind of a miracle that this thing even slightly resembles a pie, but Ellie loves (loves might be an understatement) helping us in the kitchen and it tastes pretty delicious!
Oh, and P.S. I always use Pillsbury pie crusts + follow the super simple recipe on the box, it makes (mostly) homemade pie so easy to make! ;)

NEW YORK, Dec. 19 (UPI) -- U.S. stock indexes were flat Wednesday after the Commerce Department said housing starts dropped 3 percent October to November.
The report was issued a day after the National Association of Home Builders said Tuesday 8.24 percent to $27.59 in early afternoon trading.
The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 17.31 points or 0.13 percent to 13,333.65. The Standard and Poor's 500 was off 3.59 points or 0.25 percent to 1,443.20. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite was flat, up 0.23 points or 0.1 percent to 3,054.76. 8/32 to yield 1.796 percent.

UBS to pay $1.5B to settle Libor charges
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19 (UPI) -- Swiss bank UBS said Wednesday it would pay $1.5 billion to settle charges it attempted to manipulate critical benchmark interest rates.
The settlement involves U.S. and British authorities and is meant to cover malfeasance that spanned from 2005-10, The New York Times reported.
Authorities contend throughout that period, the bank falsified reports that were used to set the Libor or London interbank offered rate, which is the average rate banks charge when they loan money to other banks.
The settlement approaches the record $1.9 billion fine announced last week against HSBC for money laundering.
Last summer, British bank Barclays announced it would pay $450 million to settle charges it had attempted to manipulate the Libor. Several other major banks are also under investigation for manipulating rates.
The Libor is used as a benchmark that determines the interest rate on trillions of dollars in commercial and consumer loans.
Authorities said supervisors at a UBS unit in Japan "inappropriately gave guidance to those employees charged with submitting interest rates, the purpose being to positively influence the perception of UBS' creditworthiness."
Authorities said the interest rates were changed in an attempt to squeeze more profits from loans, but also to make the bank appear healthier than it was, as low interest rates are a sign of strength.
With that reasoning, if a bank's borrowing costs are low, then it would be assumed the bank is strong, an image the bank tried to project during the financial crisis.
"The findings we have set out in our notice today do not make for pretty reading. The integrity of benchmarks are of fundamental importance to both U.K. and international financial markets. UBS traders and managers ignored this," said Tracey McDermott, the enforcement director for the Financial Services Authority, the bank regulator in Britain.
In a statement, UBS said it had cooperated with the investigation, which reportedly involves more than a dozen major banks.
"We discovered behavior of certain employees that is unacceptable. We deeply regret this inappropriate and unethical behavior. No amount of profit is more important than the reputation of this firm, and we are committed to doing business with integrity," UBS Chief Executive Officer Sergio Ermotti said in a statement.

This Neptune dominated sign is free of greed, they have little interest in tomorrow, mild acceptance of today and may not remember the past. The fish was born with the desire to see the world through rose colored petals spectacles. He knows the seamy side of the world but prefers to live in his own watery, gentle world where everyone is beautiful and the world is good. When they face problems they tend to go in to a hide out. The women in this is sign are happy left alone with fixed income; they will sun bathe, chill out and wonder why people have to make so much noise out there. Just like the fish swims in both directions, she is very adaptable. She has her own moods, very sentimental and suspicious by nature. She needs to be more firm and not shy away from life. She has the most beautiful eyes!

Speaking before Parliament Wednesday, Osborne said development of shale gas resources in Britain is one of the chief energy aims of the coalition government's budget, despite opposition from critics who says the hydraulic fracturing procedure used to produce it is unsafe.
The government aims to "make (shale gas) happen," Osborne told lawmakers.
"I ... want Britain to tap into new sources of low cost energy like shale gas," the chancellor said. ."
Osborne's promise to cut host areas in on the economic benefits of shale gas development is being seen as a key to counter persistent grassroots opposition to widespread exploration from environmentalists and local activists.
The budget speech came in conjunction with an announcement of the establishment of a new Office of Unconventional Gas and Oil within the Department of Energy and Climate Change, whose charge is to "look at community benefits for shale gas projects."
British Energy Minister John Hayes said the new office would develop proposals by summer "to ensure people benefit from shale gas production if there are future developments in their area."
"Shale gas is an exciting opportunity and has the potential to create jobs and support U.K. energy security," he said. "Local communities must be able to benefit from any shale gas development in their area and the new office will look into how this can be properly achieved."
But Osborne also announced the government would "keep under review" whether the largest shale gas projects should have the option to bypass local planning procedures and apply for approvals directly to the central government.
The proposed tax breaks for shale gas development brought protests from British environmental groups.
"The chancellor is slashing public services with one hand while gifting tax breaks to the fossil fuel industry with the other," Greenpeace energy campaigner, Lawrence Carter said in a statement to The Guardian.
"This is unfair on struggling households, especially when everyone from the energy regulator Ofgem to BP to the energy secretary say U.K. fracking won't bring down bills."
Other low-carbon energy efforts were praised by Osborne in his budget address, citing this week's granting of planning permission for a new nuclear plant at Hinkley Point in Somerset and the announcement to take two carbon capture and storage projects to the next stage of development.
The decision to proceed with the nuclear power plant was made Tuesday after long negotiations between the government and the French energy giant EDF, following a missed December deadline. Still to be decided is a "strike price" to be paid for power generated at the plant, The Telegraph reported.
Meanwhile, Westminster this week selected the Peterhead project in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and the White Rose project in Yorkshire, England, as the two preferred bidders in its carbon capture and storage commercialization program competition.

He said that he will definitely wear a helmet if he ever rides a motorcycle again, the Pittsburgh Gazette reported.
"I recognize that I have a responsibility to safeguard my health in the off-season so I can continue to lead our team effectively," Roethlisberger said. "I never meant any harm to others nor to break any laws. I was confident in my ability to ride a motorcycle and simply believed such an accident would not happen to me."
Roethlisberger spent seven hours in surgery at Mercy Hospital after he hit the side of a car Monday. He was released from the hospital late Wednesday.
He was believed to be recuperating at his home with family members.
In his statement, Roethlisberger said he plans to be at training camp and fully able to play when the new season starts.

A justice of the peace found Wednesday there was not enough evidence to show the guards feared for their lives from threats by Mayweather, the Las Vegas Sun reported.
The charges stemmed from an altercation in October 2010 when Mayweather left some cars parked on the street outside his home in violation of association rules. In their court testimony, the guards, who were armed and sitting in their truck, said after they wrote tickets for the cars Mayweather cursed at them and threatened them, in addition to slamming a ticket down on the truck.
The guards did not file charges until a week after the incident. Mayweather's lawyers suggested they had been pressured to pursue the case.
The Southern Highlands homeowners association filed a civil action in January seeking $10,000 in damages.
Mayweather has also been charged with coercion, grand robbery and larceny, all felonies, and misdemeanor harassment and domestic assault for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend in September 2010.

"Greg Abbot's spokesperson said he would veto equal pay legislation, just like Rick Perry did. And given what's going on at his office I am not surprised.This is the very legislation that would help his employees address the fact that they are getting paid less than their co-workers for doing the same work." said Davis in a speech in Austin, "So I have a message for Greg Abbot today: Stop hiding behind your staff members. Stop hiding behind your surrogates. This Texas gal is calling you out. Act like a Texan."
This is not the first punch the Abbot campaign has taken on the issue of equal pay for women. Two of his staff members have also been heard last week saying women are too "busy" to be concerned with these issues and another said women are paid less because, "men are better negotiators."
Abbot has said he supports the concept of equal pay for women but the current anti-discrimination laws are enough to prevent that type of inequality. A report from the San Antonio Express-News doesn't give much support to his claim as it says that women in his office earn on average $6,000 less than men in the same position.

The "Ring of Fire" eclipse is so named because it occurs when the moon appears about 5 percent smaller than the sun in the sky. When the moon crosses the sun, a ring of light will be visible around the outline of the moon.
Of course, the sun is much larger than the moon, but because it is further away, they can often have the same apparent size when observed from Earth.
The full effect will be visible to very few people, in parts of Australia and the Pacific region. A partial eclipse will be visible to the Hawaiian Islands, the southern Philippines, eastern Indonesia, parts of Australia, parts of Papua New Guinea and a bit of New Zealand.
For skywatchers everywhere else, the online Slooh Space Camera will begin live streaming the eclipse at 5:30 p.m. EDT, as seen by an observatory in Australia. You can watch it live on SPACE.com, courtesy of Slooh.
The space camera will also host a live feed from the Prescott Solar Observatory to show viewers shots of the sun from Arizona. Expert commentators will include Patrick Paolucci, Bob Berman, Matt Francis and Paul Cox.

Data, primarily from the Framingham Heart Study, have identified electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) as a blood pressure-independent risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD) [1,2], acute myocardial infarction [3], and other cardiovascular morbidity and mortality [4]. (See "Clinical implications and treatment of left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertension" and "Electrocardiographic diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy".)
These relationships can be illustrated by the following findings in patients with a definite electrocardiographic pattern of LVH:
Echocardiographic studies, which more reliably document the presence of LVH, have confirmed and expanded the above observations [5-7]. For each 50 g/m2 increase in left ventricular mass, the relative risk of death from cardiovascular disease is 1.73 in men and 2.12 in women. The echocardiogram has also established other important features of LVH, particularly an eccentric or concentric pattern [7].
This topic will review the evidence linking hypertension and LVH to ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. The pathogenesis of LVH in hypertension is discussed separately. (See "Definition and pathogenesis of left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertension".)

During President Obama’s commencement address at Notre Dame University, he said he and the Catholic Church were at an impasse. He claims that a woman should have the right to have an innocent and defenseless human being killed — a right no other member of a civilized society has.
The Catholic Church, on the other hand, recognizes the sanctity of human life and maintains that this defenseless baby’s right to life is an absolute right that should not be compromised.
How could anyone in their right mind say that President Obama is right and the Church wrong?

I always thought this one was pretty cool. I still prefer the Tri Magnum
It looks like a fun, interesting, first build that may not break the bank.
With that said, it also looks dated.
It may just be me though, I never liked the look of the angualr Lambos, and the rear taper is... off?
I'm a little apprehensive about it being made of wood, but with some work (a tube frame) and body restyle it my be a fun little project.
It reminds me of a project my grandfather and I did when I was younger, it was a wood electric buggy made from plans in a popular mechanic (or similar book, I can't remember) complimation printed in the '70's. If I see it the next time I'm at their place I'll try to make scans of the pages. It also had a full sized kit-car in it, a three wheeled gass engine car with an electric motor for reverse..<br />- Ed Parker, 1957

The crust of a St. Louis pizza is somewhat crisp and cannot be folded easily and is typically cut into three- or four-inch squares instead of the pie-like wedges typical of many pizza styles. Some local restaurants make their pizzas rectangular rather than round. It is often salty and seasoned with more oregano than other pizza types.

I commited to reading To Walk or Stay by Lara Williams because of signing up for a blog tour; it’s not necessarily the kind of book I would choose to read. However, I found myself hooked from the very first words of the Introduction and struggled to put it down. I forced myself to read it in two or three sittings, but I could have devoured it in one go. Lara has such a readable writing style – you really do feel as if you’re sitting cosily with her, mug of tea in hand, chatting confidentially about stuff. She has a real gift for drawing in her reader and keeping you turning the pages.
Although To Walk or Stay is about marriage, the lessons Lara shares from her story and experience are much broader than that. In fact, I found I could relate well to much of what she wrote from the illness I had in 2010. I liked the way the book is set out with each chapter covering an issue that Lara has had to face in her marriage: her husband’s betrayal, her need to control, her right to be loved, to leave or not to leave, choosing forgiveness, prayer. She discusses sensitively the choice between divorce and staying in a marriage, carefully considering what the Bible has to say. I couldn’t detect any judgement or condemnation on her part, just a raw honesty of the way she chose to deal with these difficult, heart-breaking issues. What did God want for her? What was His best for her and her family?
At the end of each chapter is a short section of relevant questions along with some suggested Bible passages for use in small group discussion. This is followed by a section called ‘Digging Deeper’ in which Lara unpacks some general spiritual and biblical truths that she learned through this rocky period of her marriage.
For wives or husbands struggling with the heartbreak of adultery and betrayal, I would strongly urge them to read this book. God is able to do impossible things beyond anything we can imagine in the most unlikely of circumstances. To Walk or Stay is a book that every Christian counsellor and church pastor/elder should read, especially when giving marriage advice and ministering to hurting couples. There is much hope and strength to be drawn from someone’s personal experience coupled with biblical truths, as Lara demonstrates in her book..
My thanks to Christian Focus for providing me with a complimentary copy of this book for the purpose of writing a review. If you’d like to hear an interview with the author, click here.

Activity Goal
Collect and disseminate national and regional population and health data to support national governments, civil society, researchers, and donor organizations develop and monitor programs and policies
Activity Major Focus Areas
Conduct a national survey; disseminate survey findings; strengthen local capacity in data interpretation and use
Activity Expected Impact and Accomplishments 2012 Kyrgyz Republic Demographic and Health Survey (2012 KgDHS), was carried by the National Statistical Commit-tee of the Kyrgyz Republic in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and with technical assistance from the USAID-funded DHS Program. Funded by USAID with additional support from UNFPA for printing, the 2012 KgDHS collected data from a na-tionally representative sample of more than 8,000 households. In addition to gathering information on health and population, the KgDHS assessed height, weight, and anemia among women and children under five and blood pressure among women and men.
To ensure that these data will be widely used to improve national and local programs, The DHS Program and UNFPA printed and distributed about 2000 survey reports, fact sheets, and an Atlas in English, Russian, and Kyrgyz. The DHS Program also helped launch a national seminar in Bishkek in January 2014 and a second regional seminar in Osh in June 2014. The US Ambassador, Pamela Spratlen attended the Osh workshop along with the Mayor of Osh, the Deputy Minister of Health, and the Director of the Statistical Agency.
In April 2014 a workshop on data processing for using CSPro software to analyze large datasets was held for 14 participants. A second workshop in June 2014 focused on increasing skills among print and electronic media journalists to report on public health issues and DHS results. A third workshop included public health professionals from the National Statistical Committee, the Ministry of Health, and the Medical Information Center and focused on writing national policy briefs based on the Kg DHS results. In September 2014 policy briefs on domestic violence, child nutrition, adult nutrition, and blood pressure will be pub-lished in English, Russian, and Kyrgyz languages.

Gilead Sciences has released the drug Solvadi to treat hepatitis C patients. The 12-week treatment costs $84,000. Letters to the editor:
Your editorial correctly described the way billion-dollar drug companies overcharge the sick to increase profit margins ("Why $1,000 a pill? Our view").
This immoral situation could be remedied by allowing the government to bargain with drug companies to lower prices. This idea has been floated by Democrats in Congress on several occasions, including during the debate of the Affordable Care Act.
Unfortunately, politicians who are in the back pockets of big corporations — especially Republicans — consistently crush any such initiative in order to ensure profits remain high. It is a national embarrassment.
Only when we adopt a single-payer health care system, as many other developed countries have, will this type of travesty be stopped.
Jeff Clauser; Charlotte
I was disgusted by the commentary about why Gilead Sciences charges $1,000 a pill for hepatitis C treatment ("Hepatitis C drug worth the price: Opposing view").
Gilead charges these high prices because it can, and the concept of cost is vastly disconnected from the concept of price (or "value" as opposing view writer Sammy Saab, a paid consultant for the drug maker, put it). Pieces such as this one, intended to bolster support for the drug Sovaldi and Gilead, only help to undermine the pharmaceutical industry's position that high price tags for prescriptions are there to recoup research and development costs.
Thomas Fitzgerald; North Richland Hills, Texas
Your editorial on pricey drugs forgets to mention two major reasons for high pharmaceutical costs: government regulations and litigation. The government cannot keep its hands out of anything, and ambulance chasers see dollar signs.
Gary McMurtrey; Grand Junction, Colo.
If a company risks capital to develop a drug, it deserves the right to charge whatever it wants for it.
Americans risking capital and resources in their own self-interest has helped make America an innovative nation.
— Michael Appiah
No one is opposing the drug, simply the insanity of the prices. Gilead made over $2 billion in the first full quarter of this drug being on the market. This is robbery. Many patients have no choice, and if an individual can't afford it, he or she might die. In order to charge such rates, the company should be required to prove the development costs.
In addition, just like we make it illegal to price gouge during disasters, it should be illegal to do so with life-saving drugs.
— Andrew Peeler
As the government cuts back on publicly funded research, we are stuck with privately funded research, which is about profits. Either we fund public research more, and supplement drug costs, or we live with gouging by private companies.
While the hepatitis C drug seems outrageous at $84,000 for a 12-week treatment, a liver transplant and other treatment would cost more. Moreover, the drug offers a cure.
The price sounds insane, but from a cost calculation, it is justifiable from the manufacturer's perspective.
— Christopher R Weiss

A sweet deal…
Although I’ve been harping on about how I’ve not had time for affiliate marketing over the last few months, due to university commitments, I simply couldn’t help myself with this one.
Recently, I found myself (as I quite often do) having an afternoon chat with experienced affiliate, Frank Paul, about our sites and what we’ve got going on at the moment. Next thing I know I’m striking a deal to buy a Lay Betting website. However, I wasn’t offering cash. Those of you who know Frank, know he doesn’t need the money, so a monetary offer was off the table. However, Frank does have a strange facination with Coca Cola. So we sealed the deal. 240 cans of Cola for the domain name LayBetting.org.uk and the site which was on it at the time. The site was receiving a nice amount of traffic from people looking for lay betting strategies and tips, so it was a no brainer for me. The Cola cost me around £55 from Tescos, including delivery direct to Frank’s door. I would need just 2 or 3 signups to the likes of Betfair or BetDaq in order to make my money back. Unfortunately for Frank (but fortunately for his kids, as he only allows them to drink Diet Coke), Tescos thought it would be ok to delivery 9 creates instead of 10, and only 4 crates of full fat coke, rather than 10!
Anyway, since taking control of the site, I’ve added a new wordpress theme, but as you can see I’m yet to add the content. Once the site has content, and a little bit of TLC I am confident I can make the site earn mid to high £xxx per month. However, as is the site’s made a whopping £20 commission, with one sign up to Betdaq, which I’m actually quite happy with considering the lack of content. I won’t retire just yet though!
A strange and interesting way to pay for a domain.
I’d sell some for chocolate I think…
Question: How much was the domain name? Answer: 240
Question: How much was the coca cola? Answer: 55
Question: How many cans of coke were delivered? Answer: 9

Here's another paragraph.
Does compensate here mean adding some more points to that youngster's test result as compensation for his underpriviledged background?
Sometimes they identify students whose high potential has not been previously recognized, but there are many things they do not do. For example, they do not compensate for gross social inequality, and thus do not tell how able an underprivileged youngster might have been had he grown up under more favorable circumstances.
Thx!
Question: What does the author mean?
Options:
- Some students are able to overcome their disadvantaged backgrounds.
- Students from underprivileged families usually do less well in tests.
- Many talented students are lost because of their underprivileged background.
- Compensation for students' underpriviledged backgrounds is long overdue. Answer: Compensation for students' underpriviledged backgrounds is long overdue.

In response to an FT article by Gillian Tett on 28th August 2014, entitled 'Regulatory revenge risks scaring investors away'
Another reader wrote: Why is paying officials to bypass a criminal prosecution not bribery?
MarkGB:
It is bribery. What was it that Nixon said to Frost when he finally got under his skin?.."because when the President does it it's not illegal"
When banks fund political campaigns, put ex-CEOs in the Treasury Department, 'loan' their lawyers to the justice department, fund the universities which teach the crap they want them to, and effectively groom young regulators so they'll pay nicely, bribery isn't called bribery…it's called 'the system'.
I'm surprised that so many people regard this kind of thing as 'conspiracy theory', when a millennium of recorded history has demonstrated quite clearly, that the crimes of the poor and unconnected are treated in a very different way to those with the power and influence that enables them to:
a) do the crimes in secret so the plebs don't get uppity
b) call it something else when they get caught
c) employ legal teams that can keep regulators up to their necks in metres of paper for years
I think that the reason that these guys are largely still in their jobs is because they have way too much on the politicians: 'we know, that you know, that we know where all the dead bodies are buried"…metaphorically speaking of course!
You're right, it is bribery. And the only way to clean it up, is when one of the big ones goes down. That will probably need an investigative journalist with passion and courage. Our politicians don't have either.
Question: What does the author think of the regulators?
Options:
- They are independent of the politicians.
- They are corrupted by bribery.
- They work for the poor and unconnected.
- They are incompetent. Answer: They are corrupted by bribery.

Major League Soccer Round-Up
Wednesday, March 6, 2013
For the opening half-hour against the Philadelphia Union, Sporting Kansas City didn’t look like the side that finished first in Major League Soccer’s Eastern Conference and won the U.S. Open Cup a season ago. Fortunately for Peter Vermes’ side, it was then that Graham Zusi asserted his quality, leading his side to a 3-1 victory to open the 2013 MLS season, earning a place on the MLS Team of the Week announced on Tuesday.
The former Central Florida Kraze standout, who played a pair of season in the PDL in 2005-06, first tied the game in the 41st minute, rifling home the rebound after Zac MacMath could only parry Benny Feilhaber’s initial effort.
Zusi then provided the assist on what proved to be the game-winner, floating a free kick into the penalty area for Uri Rosell to head home. He also picked up a second assist as his cross found former Ventura County Fusion defender Chance Myers deep in the Philadelphia penalty area, who cut his cross back to Claudio Bieler for a third.
Zusi’s standout performance overshadowed Sebastian Le Toux’s return to the Union, with the former USL First Division MVP scoring the opening goal of the MLS season as he gave Philadelphia the lead in the 17th minute. The contest also saw the MLS debut of former Orlando City standout Mechack Jerome, who came on as a late substitute for Sporting Kansas City after his acquisition last week from the Lions.
Three other former PDL standouts joined Zusi on the MLS Team of the Week, with former Cleveland Internationals standout Darlington Nagbe earning a berth after helping the Portland Timbers rally to earn a 3-3 draw against the New York Red Bulls. FC Dallas’ Matt Hedges, an All-League selection for reading United in 2010, also earned as berth, as did 2012 All-League selection DeAndre Yedlin of the Sounders FC U23 as he made his debut for the club’s senior side.
Yedlin wasn’t the only former PDL standout to make his debut, with the Austin Aztex’s Kekuta Manneh and Dillon Powers both earning starting roles for the Vancouver Whitecaps and Colorado Rapids, respectively. Powers was joined in the Rapids’ starting lineup by Deshorn Brown, who had a solid debut for the Rapids after leading the PDL with 13 goals in 2012 for Reading United.
Former Portland Timbers U-23s standouts Erik Hurtado and Emery Welshman also shared the same field, with both coming on as second-half substitutes for Vancouver and Toronto respectively as the Whitecaps took a 1-0 victory at B.C. Place. Former Washington Crossfire midfielder Adam Jahn also made his debut, coming on as a substitute for the San Jose Earthquakes on Sunday night.
Elsewhere, former Cleveland International standout Josh Williams found the back of the net as the Columbus Crew took a 3-0 victory against Chivas USA, as did former Richmond Kickers Futures forward Dominic Oduro.
Question: Who scored the opening goal of the MLS season? Answer: Sebastian Le Toux
Question: Who earned a place on the MLS Team of the Week? Answer: Graham Zusi
Question: Who did Sporting Kansas City defeat? Answer: Philadelphia Union

Blue House (2017) was a collaborative project with Francis Dosoo, born from a shared interest in the aesthetics and cultural convenience of murder mysteries.
The project was commissioned as part of Wrap - Around, a showcase of artist books at the Scottish Poetry Library, Edinburgh. The project consisted of an artist book (loose leaf pages contained in a 15cm x 15cm four flap enclosure, fully screen printed throughout), an accompanying soundtrack and a performative artist's talk.
We took as our starting point radio and film adaptations of Agatha Christie novels and the "point-and-click" computer game Broken Sword. We find the space that these media occupy interesting, often placing violent acts of murder and bleak portrayals of human nature in the midst of richly rendered locations populated with idiosyncratic character studies and marked by a voyeuristic attention to minutiae. We chose to explore this enclave by shifting the focus of our 'camera' - moving the physical environments and incidental dialogue to the foreground whilst pushing the narrative content back - abstracting and repurposing it as a relatively inconsequential scenic component. Our camera repeatedly chooses to drift away from the moments of critical narrative importance, gazing distractedly out of windows and lingering in empty hallways - all the while catching only isolated fragments of conversation, mixed evenly with sounds of birdsong from the garden and the contented lapping of water in the pool.

The Next Frontier of Space Lawyering
In Kamio system, a mysterious traveler sought out an angry miner.
Before the New Order, most miners (assuming they weren't AFK) tended to be a trusting lot. They welcomed newcomers. Now, the rebels are bitter and xenophobic.
New Order Agent ZZEZ 'Murika recognized the troublemaker instantly.
Babatunde B Babatunde, attorney at law, space lawyer extraordinaire and scourge of the New Order! How many Code violators have been able to escape justice because they lawyered up and abused some technicality?
Christofear Parlato was shocked, but this is only the tip of the iceberg. Space lawyers have been out in force, ever since the dawn of the New Order.
Babatunde is far more enterprising than most. The typical space lawyer defends himself, or defends others in the system for free. Something tells me Babatunde never does anything without getting paid.
Turning space lawyering into a proper business is the best new emergent gameplay since Space Therapist. The New Order always supports local business.

Damn this dude is a genius, how do I sign up to be his paralegal?
My, activity seems to have dropped since James pussied out of running for CSM.
How do you figure? You're still posting here. I'm still posting here. He's still posting here. We're all named anonymous, but then again, so are you.
I'm still here too. I was here before the CSM run, so why wouldn't I be here after?
Yeah, if anything, no CSM to worry about will mean more time for the real awesomeness of minerbumping.com.
I'm glad the New Order will keep on focusing on playing the game instead of politics
I was here before minerbumping.com was ever thought of. So suck that up you filthy little tarts.
You were here before here was here? Sounds like someone ate a whole box of lying pills. Go back to your room, the adults are talking.
I admire this space lawyer's entrepreneurial spirit.
I endorse this product and / or service.
If they didn't pay up 10 million isk, sutely they would pay up 100 million Isk to get their losses back right?
EVE never ceases to amaze me.
*jaw drops*
*head explodes*
Jesus wept.
Now...now I have seen EVERYTHING.
And dude, I have been to Bangkok, Amsterdam, AND Juarez.
---- Mike Adoulin
Every person of worth should have a lawyer on retainer at all times. Don't these rebels know this? Are they not people of worth?
It's like paying 150 euros to a lawyer only because you don't want to pay 10 euros of taxes...and you pay those 150 just to get a hope, knowing that probably you will have to pay the 10 euros tax anyway if you want to live like a free citizen in your country. This is beyond absurd.
If the day ever comes that the New Order nuts up and stakes a shot at me I plan on calling on the expertise of Babatunde B Babatunde to get me compensation.

This is the bracelet that I wear for my father-in-law Dave. I wrote about Dave awhile back when we found out that he had Lymphoma. Luckily, after Dave put up a huge fight and with the help of fabulous doctors and treatment, we were able to celebrate his remission.
I know how lucky we are. I know that the chances that he would respond positively to treatment, based on the severity of his case, were basically 50/50 towards survival over five years. (You'd be amazed how small those chances seem when it involves one you love.) I thank God often that He spared Dave so that he could stay here with us. I see my son's eyes light up when he sees his Papa and I just want to cry because I'm so grateful.
I also know that there is a chance that it might come back and that we might not be so fortunate next time. (Not trying to be negative but have to be realistic.) I know that there are approximately 75,000 people in the United States that will be diagnosed with Lymphoma this year and that around 20,000 of them will not be as lucky as Dave and will NOT survive it*.
I'm not trying to be a pessimist. I know that no matter what happens, Dave will continue to fight this disease. If he's fortunate, it won't come back. I'm confident that based on sheer stubbornness, no matter what happens, we'll have Dave with us for a long time.
We know that there is more than one way to fight because we are (as a family) participating in the 2010 Light The Night Walk to "bring help and hope to people battling blood cancers"**. We are doing it for Dave and for all of those like him who have fought and are fighting this disease.
So...here's where you come in. (I know you were waiting for the pitch...lol.) Our family has committed to participating in the 2010 Light The Night Walk that is taking place at Target Field in Minneapolis on Sunday, September 26, 2010. Our family has pledged to raise $5000 towards research and education for a cure to this monster disease. We need your help.
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation (even $1 would be fantastic). You can do so by visiting to donate online quickly & securely.
I know that you are asked to donate to various causes often and it's easy to just click the little "x" in the window and pretend you didn't see the request. If you really can't afford it then please don't feel you have to donate. Just send a kind thought or prayer to the ones who are still suffering and I'll be happy as can be. But if you can afford it, please consider making a donation. It could make all the difference in the world to someone fighting this disease.
Oh, and before I forget, I've made a couple of promises for various ways to show my gratitude via Twitter. I will honor each and every one of those promises, especially the one I said I'd do if I reached my personal goal of $1000 in donations. If you want to know what those promises were...well...I guess you're gonna just have to follow me to find out. ;)

You are so amazing. Everytime I stop by here you are thinking up new ways to give back!! So, so proud of you!!

Reveal Original is a Minneapolis, MN furniture, lighting, home accessories and sculpture design and manufacturing studio with an industrial style mixing hardwoods, metal and reclaimed materials. We are a husband and wife team, David & Linda Baer.

We also believe our pieces need to be functional, durable and versatile.
We create pieces for both residential and commercial spaces working with homeowners, interior designers and architects.
Our journey started in 2015 when David took the leap from working as a creative director/graphic designer for large corporations and dabbling for years building his own sculpture and furniture on the side to finally listening to his heart to become a "maker" full time. Linda loves the product design aspect pulling from her interior design background. All pieces are handcrafted right in our Northrup King studio treating each piece as if it's a work of art, paying attention to even the smallest of details to create something fresh and exciting every time. Depending on the design, he taps into his welding, woodworking, CNC, laser cutting and all fabrication skills.

“He didn’t buy privacy. It speaks well of the city and the community that nobody was heckling him. His neighbors put up gay pride flags, but nobody went by and put toilet paper on his house or anything. I give La Jolla a few points. I give his church and his family more points.”
Popkin repeatedly emphasized this point as we talked: that Romney’s Mormon faith and immediate family, both of which have large footprints in San Diego County, helped him get back on his feet this fast.
Indeed, Romney does look like a guy who’s turning the corner, any corner, whether that’s entering convenience stores and bike lanes and gas stations or exiting the unimaginable depression of missing out on being the world’s most powerful person.
That basically makes him “the biggest loser in the world,” Popkin said.
Not long after earning the title on Nov. 6, Romney surely returned to La Jolla hoping to relax, not read about his whereabouts being shouted about by the modern equivalent of a newsie: The online news aggregator.
