Figure 2a:
Estimates of the globally and annually averaged radiative forcing (W
) (see Footnote 4) from subsonic aircraft emissions in 1992 (2a) and in 2050 for scenario Fa1 (2b). The scale in Figure 2b is greater than the scale in 2a by about a factor of 4. The bars indicate the best estimate of forcing while the line associated with each bar is a two-thirds uncertainty range developed using the best knowledge and tools available at the present time. (The two-thirds uncertainty range means that there is a 67% probability that the true value falls within this range.) The available information on cirrus clouds is insufficient to determine either a best estimate or an uncertainty range; the dashed line indicates a range of possible best estimates. The estimate for total forcing does not include the effect of changes in cirrus cloudiness. The uncertainty estimate for the total radiative forcing (without additional cirrus) is calculated as the square root of the sums of the squares of the upper and lower ranges for the individual components. The evaluations below the graph ("good," "fair," "poor," "very poor") are a relative appraisal associated with each component and indicates the level of scientific understanding. It is based on the amount of evidence available to support the best estimate and its uncertainty, the degree of consensus in the scientific literature, and the scope of the analysis. This evaluation is separate from the evaluation of uncertainty range represented by the lines associated with each bar. This method of presentation is different and more meaningful than the confidence level presented in similar graphs from Climate Change 1995: The Science of Climate Change.

Florida beats Baylor, advances to title series
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Florida didn't dominate Baylor in the rematch, but the Gators' performance was good enough.
Hannah Rogers pitched a complete game and helped Florida defeat Baylor 6-3 on Sunday to advance to the Women's College World Series national championship best-of-three series. Florida will play Alabama for the title.
The Gators, who beat Baylor 11-0 on Thursday on the opening day of competition, won Sunday with solid fundamentals. Florida had eight hits and three walks, but no home runs.
"The little things win games here in the College World Series," Florida coach Tim Walton said. "Just proud of our kids for believing in us and believing in themselves and in their abilities and not trying to do too much. Here we are getting a chance and an opportunity to play for a national championship."
Rogers allowed three runs on five hits and threw 96 pitches. She improved to 29-8 this season.
"I just want to continue to do everything and not over think anything, and use my defense like I have all season," she said. "I mean, they've been doing a great job here and all year and I will continue to use them."
Florida (53-12), took a 5-0 lead Sunday in the top of the fifth inning before the Bears scored three runs in the bottom of the fifth to make it a game. The Bears, who came from 7-0 down to beat Kentucky on Saturday night, couldn't quite do it again.
"I'm extremely proud of my team," Baylor coach Glenn Moore said. "We came here to win this thing, and were dealt a big setback on the first day and had to recover from that. I thought we showed incredible fight, pride as we worked our way back to today and won an incredible come back last night, of course. We didn't take the easy road to get here."
Stephanie Tofft walked with the bases loaded in the top of the sixth to score an insurance run. She had two hits and knocked in two runs and Taylor Schwarz knocked in three runs for the Gators.
Kaitlyn Thumann knocked in two runs and Jordan Strickland knocked in the other one for the Bears (49-16).
Whitney Canion fell to 31-12. She allowed six runs on eight hits and threw 151 pitches.
Walton said that rally against Kentucky might have sapped Baylor's energy.
"I can tell you that being on the other side of that coin, winning an emotional game yesterday, in the fashion that they did, I know how draining it can be," he said.

Challenges and rewards abound in super-sized parishes.
Flip, flip, flip, flip!
Some 25 years later Maureen Regele laughs and says she'll always remember the sound of 200 theater seats popping up and down during Mass. Back then her parish, St. Matthew in Charlotte, North Carolina, held weekly worship services in a small, dimly lit movie theater, which is all that was needed to serve the small group of Catholics living in the area at the time.
"There were very few Catholics when we moved here 25 years ago," recalls Regele, a 52-year-old real estate broker who was among the first parishioners when St. Matthew was established in 1986. "We were kind of the oddity."
The city's population has exploded since then, growing from about 395,000 in 1990 to more than 705,000 today, and many of the area's new inhabitants are Catholic. That's led to an even more staggering rate of growth for St. Matthew. The community first moved to a newly constructed parish center in 1989, with parishioners setting up and taking down metal folding chairs for Masses held in a gymnasium. By 1996 the parish had a sprawling church building with amphitheater-style seating for up to 2,000 people, a choir pit, and a chapel.
Today the parish is home to more than 8,700 families—or nearly 30,000 individual parishioners—and holds eight weekend Masses, including one in the parish gym and one in a nearby Episcopal church to accommodate the massive crowds.
Regele realizes her beloved parish has come a long way from the movie theater that first housed its worship services. But because she has been there from the beginning, she says the expansion has always felt natural. "It's still happening," she says of the parish's growth. "I don't think we've had a non-growth month or decline since we began. Last year we averaged 62 new families a month."
Super-size us
While its growth is extraordinary, St. Matthew is not the only parish in the United States that is bursting at the seams. Migration from the Northeast and Midwest to the Sun Belt, an influx of Catholic immigrants in the South and Southwest, and the closing or merging of smaller parishes have all contributed to the "super-sizing" of some parishes, according to "The Changing Face of U.S. Catholic Parishes," a study conducted by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) at Georgetown University. Released last July, the study is part of the Emerging Models of Pastoral Leadership project.
CARA reported that there had been a boom in creating new parishes in the Northeast and Midwest in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to meet the needs of the growing Catholic population in those areas, but those are not the regions with the largest Catholic populations today. The result has been parish closures or consolidations in those traditional Catholic strongholds, but there has yet to be a corresponding wave of new parish openings in other parts of the country.
"There are not a lot of dioceses building new parishes in areas where the Catholic population moved and is growing strongly," wrote CARA researcher Mark Gray at the time of the study's release. "I understand there are challenges to building a new parish including capital campaigns, planning commissions, architects, and construction companies to deal with. But a parish building boom will likely be needed in the U.S. Sun Belt in the 21st century."
Without new parishes being created, the total number of U.S. parishes decreased from more than 19,000 in 2000 to fewer than 17,800 in 2010, about the same number of parishes that existed in 1965, the report notes. As a result, the average parish in 2010 contained 3,277 registered members, up 45 percent from the average of 2,260 parishioners in 2000.
As parishes continue to expand, pastors and staff are faced with new challenges in meeting the needs of their growing base of parishioners.
"It's overwhelming at times," says Father John Tizio, pastor of St. Mary Parish in Annapolis, Maryland. The parish is home to nearly 5,000 families, significantly more than the number of parishioners Tizio served in his previous parish assignment.
"At times I'm not sure what my focus needs to be on," he says. "So many things come at me from so many directions."
With more than 100 ministries in the parish, Tizio says that just finding the space for everyone to hold their meetings is a challenge. "A whole program is set up just to reserve space when they need to meet," he says. "When you do something you have to think big. You don't have that small country church thing when you just want to get together. Everything has to be scheduled. It's kind of a drawback because you can't do things spur of the moment. We also have people who want to try out different new ministries but we don't have the space."
Tizio also must allocate another scarce resource—his time. He credits the parish's nine priests for doing what they can to help, be it presiding at a liturgy or taking his spot in the on-call chaplain rotation at the nearby Anne Arundel Medical Center, which lets him sleep uninterrupted through the night. That helps to take some of the pressure off being pastor to so many people.
"I love the community I'm living with. Sometimes the position, I don't always love," he says. "It's a big responsibility. There are times I don't sleep well at night because there are so many issues twirling around in my head. But it seems to be working out."
Cast of thousands
With about 5,500 families to lead, Father John Dolan shares that experience as pastor at St. Rose Parish in Chula Vista, California, just south of San Diego. "We're constantly on the go," Dolan says. "There's rarely a time when we have down time."
Dolan says the help of his lay ministers, staff, and volunteers is critical to making St. Rose seem smaller. "It's not a new secret," he says. "It's an age-old secret. Moses had to have multiple assistants to deal with the issues he had to deal with. I reach out to our groups and ministries and organizations and invite them to be evangelizers within the parish. I try to put it on the people of the parish who are involved already to get more people into their groups."
One advantage of having such a large community is that there are more people available to become involved, and with larger budgets, bigger parishes can hire more paid staff members. "Sometimes the smaller the parish, the harder you work because your staff is smaller," Dolan says. "I know pastors at small churches, and they work very hard. They're out there cutting the weeds."
Msgr. John McSweeney, the pastor of St. Matthew Parish in Charlotte, says that larger parishes also present the opportunity for new people with fresh ideas to take the lead. In the early 1980s McSweeney was pastor at a small parish of about 300 families, which he says was more difficult to administer from a pastor's perspective.
"It's a very small group of people who lead the activities," he says of small parishes. But now he has a staff of 59 paid employees and 4,500 volunteers. "Here it's super diverse. We try very hard not to have cliques who run the church."
All are welcome
But having more people doesn't automatically lead to increased involvement. The CARA report finds that as parishes grow, rates of attendance and financial giving per registered household tends to decrease. "There appears to be a size limit at which the parish community begins to become less active and less giving," says Gray.
There may be a simple explanation for this phenomenon: In a larger parish, people are less likely to notice someone's absence, and parishioners may feel like their individual contributions won't be missed.
"It's well known that attendance at the very large parishes declines because of a sense of anonymity," says Franciscan Sister Katarina Schuth, who teaches social scientific study of religion at St. Paul Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota. "At the rural parishes where I grew up, people knew if you didn't show up for Mass—not because they were checking up on you, but because they were concerned about you."
McSweeney says the secret to getting parishioners to overcome that feeling of anonymity is to put the parish's resources into welcoming new members. "There were 25,000 people here at Christmas. That can scare some people," he says. "The size can be intimidating to people when they first come here, but because of our ongoing sense of welcoming and reaching out to each other, it breaks down the barriers real fast."
Longtime St. Matthew parishioner Regele is a member of the parish newcomers ministry, which runs a program designed to get new parishioners involved in parish life. More than 350 people have completed the program, which is modeled after the Susan Miller book After the Boxes Are Unpacked: Moving On After Moving In (Tyndale House).
"They really become a close-knit family," Regele says of parishioners who complete the program. "We really try to get them involved in trying a small faith-sharing group of some kind because that's where we've seen, over the years, that people really start feeling spiritually connected. People who come, and I hear from their comments, they speak of our church as very welcoming, and they're energized."
More than 60 volunteers at St. Matthew also take turns as official "greeters," standing at the doors of the church to welcome people before each Mass. Volunteer Janet Garbison, who coordinates the greeters, says she thinks they "make a huge difference" in helping churchgoers feel welcome. She usually just quickly greets people, but some like to stop and chat. "You really start to connect with people," Garbison says. "Not in a real intimate way, but you get to know them."
She helped launch the program four years ago because she was hearing so many people talk about the parish's large size. "In a parish this big, you can feel anonymous. People like to be recognized. I, for one, am thrilled that everyone is there, and I want them to know it."
Garbison recalls how many St. Matthew parishioners noticed her absence during a recent vacation. "It just gives us an opening to connect with each other and learn more about each other. You feel like people care that you're there when someone meets you at the door."
Karen Wieman feels the large size of her parish, St. Ann in Coppell, Texas, makes for a vibrant, active community. The parish serves 8,900 registered households and offers a broad range of ministries that cater to the diverse needs and interests of the community. That was important to Wieman after her divorce six years ago.
"Even though it's very large, we have so many ministries there, and if you get involved in them, it doesn't seem so large," says Wieman. "There are a lot of things going on, so no matter what floats your boat, you should be able to get involved in something."
Because she works out of her home, her contact with others can be limited. So upon registering as a new member of St. Ann, she welcomed the chance to sign up for multiple ministries. She volunteered as a money counter and participated in several mission trips. She was asked to coordinate games at a carnival the parish organizes each September.
Wieman also caught on with the parish's singles ministry, and is now president. The group of about 60 meets for dinner at restaurants and dances at St. Ann or other churches. They take on community service projects and sometimes attend Mass as a group. "I just feel like I'm a part of the parish family," Wieman says.
Culture shifts
St. Ann is also among the parishes bolstered by a large Hispanic community, with two of its weekend Masses celebrated in Spanish and many ministries offered for Spanish-speaking parishioners. According to CARA, 29 percent of U.S. parishes now celebrate Mass in a language other than English, a 7 percent increase since 2000, and 37 percent of parishes host ethnic or cultural celebrations that parishioners have carried over from their native countries.
St. Raphael Parish in Springdale, Arkansas is among those to see a dramatic increase in parishioners due to immigration, as many have been drawn to the area by job opportunities at two large food processing plants and a wheel factory. The parish has grown from about 1,000 parishioners in 1983 to nearly 30,000 today.
When parishioner Lewis Germany moved to Springdale in 1993, there was one Saturday evening Mass and two on Sunday morning. Today those three services remain in English, but there are also two Spanish Masses on Saturday and a third on Sunday. Over the past five years, the parish has expanded its parking lot, added classroom space for more religious education classes, and renovated the parish hall. There is now talk of adding on to the church building.
"A lot of people haven't adjusted to the change," Germany says of the parish's rapid growth. "It really has kind of taken a toll on the church with such large numbers."
Mardonio Hernandez, a 62-year-old married father of three grown children, says it seems like St. Raphael's congregation has doubled in size since he moved to Springdale from California in 1997. "I'm OK with it," says Hernandez, a native of Mexico who has worked at a Tyson food processing plant for 16 years. "It's getting [larger and larger], so we need to make the building bigger. When I go to church I see so many people standing on the side with no seats."
But Germany, a member of the parish Knights of Columbus council, says St. Raphael is essentially two parishes—divided by those who speak English and those who speak Spanish, with the Spanish-speakers representing about 83 percent of the total congregation. Germany says his pastor, Father John O'Connell, has worked hard the past two years to bring the Hispanics and non-Hispanics together for parish events, such as an annual fundraiser to benefit a church building fund.
St. Raphael's Knights of Columbus council recognizes the need to reach out to more Hispanics, Germany says, but thus far only about 10 of its 123 members are drawn from the Spanish-speaking community. The council is launching a new Spanish roundtable aimed at recruiting more members, though things have been progressing slowly thus far. "A lot of them don't really know a whole lot about the Knights of Columbus and they're kind of leery, but we're trying to break through that barrier," Germany says.
Germany says the recruiting drive seems to have more promise than past attempts because several bilingual members plan to begin making presentations after Spanish Masses.
Hernandez calls the recruitment effort "a good idea." But if the effort fails, Hernandez says, it will simply be due to the fact that many Hispanic parishioners are not confident enough in their knowledge of English to join English-speaking parish groups.
"I think they feel better when they go to a Spanish Mass because they feel more comfortable," Hernandez says. "We try to keep our culture from long ago of our fathers and grandparents. We try to learn more [English] but not as much as we need."
Growth curve
For better or worse, the super-sized parish appears to be here to stay, says Jesuit Father Tom Sweetser, founder and director of the Parish Evaluation Project in Milwaukee. Dioceses are reluctant to form new parishes in rapidly growing areas because so few new priests are being ordained relative to the large numbers retiring.
And things are only going to get worse in the coming years, with the trend toward large parishes likely to continue, he says. That means that all parishes need to be prepared to serve larger populations and to meet the needs of diverse groups of parishioners.
Parishes "better be pretty savvy on how they organize themselves in a way that people feel they are part of the parish," says Sweetser, whose program helps parishes with strategic planning for the future. For example, Sweetser recalls a recent visit he made to a large parish outside Milwaukee that was sending a group to a mission in Peru. Before the mission group left, someone shot video of churchgoers bidding them farewell at the end of a Mass.
"We have to be creative. There are ways to get people involved, even though you have large congregations, and make them feel like they're part of the celebration," Sweetser says. "You're dealing with a large congregation that isn't homogenous anymore."
The alternative, Sweetser says, is not a pleasant one. If people are not being fed in their parish, they are likely to go elsewhere—and may drift away from the Catholic Church entirely.
"If they don't get along, people are going to leave [or] withdraw because they feel like there's nothing there for them," he says. "They'll flock to places that meet their needs. If not Catholic [churches], they'll go someplace else."
Seminary expert Schuth agrees that the U.S. priest shortage and how it is addressed will be critical to addressing the large parish issue. At the rate priests are retiring, the nation would need about 800 to 900 new ordinations a year to keep pace but has only seen about 480 in each of the past two years, Schuth says.
She says tomorrow's priests and lay leaders must be prepared to deal with the new reality of parish life in the United States.
"When we're educating lay ministers, deacons, and seminarians, we have to prepare people for two extremes," she says. "One is the large parish with the great big staff, where the priest becomes a manager and sole liturgical minister, and the other is that he is the manager of two or three small parishes."
That's going to require a new approach to formation for parish ministry, Schuth says. "The skill set is so different. The activities the priest manages at each of these is just night and day. It depends a lot on the leadership of the priest and the staff they gather around them whether they'll succeed."

The Great Sand Sea
The Great Sand Sea
Between the Gilf Kebir and Siwa Oasis lies the awesome immensity of dune fields that the explorer Gerhard Rohlfs named the Great Sand Sea (Bahr er-Raml in Arabic). Covering 72,000 square kilometres (roughly the size of Ireland), the Sand Sea extends for an average of 650km from north to south and 300km from east to west.
Roughly two-thirds of this consist of parallel seif dunes, sometimes over 100m high and as much as 150km long, separated by flat "corridors" one or two kilometres wide, whose northwest-southeast alignment is determined by the prevailing wind.
While these seif dunes are ever-moving, satellite imaging has shown that they sit atop stable whale-backed dunes. Elsewhere in the Sand Sea, where seif dunes have descended escarpments, they have reformed as crescent-shaped barchans. Though shifting sands seem the only "life" in the Sand Sea, a little vegetation exists, lying dormant for years until a brief shower of rain revives it.
This spectacularly alien terrain has long fascinated explorers and scientists; now tourists are venturing into marvel at its wonders. A brief excursion from Siwa Oasis to Bir Wahed will let you experience its colossal dunes without spending a fortune, while the following sites can be visited on deep-desert safaris.

|Another 20% of NYNO women chose their legs
as their "best" body part
Other parts women rail against included upper arms, and saggy skin, but a good 15% chose "none," that is, NO disliked part, also a cause for celebration, in my mind. Additional "best" or favourite body parts included legs, hair, breasts, and skin.
Overall, NYNO women here in BC seem to be pretty darn content with their changing body image, and I think that's both reaffirming and healthy. Btw, talking to someone in the surgical field in New York, I was told that, after years of observation, she found that the plastic surgery with the biggest "happiness ever after" rate was breast reduction, which, literally, takes such a load off some women's shoulders (and backs). A plastic surgeon in Victoria told me it was abdominoplasty (that is, surgically removing excess skin, usually after big weight loss) that gave him as a surgeon the greatest satisfaction.
He also told me (which was eye opening to me) that he refuses to do 20-25% of the cosmetic procedures people ask him to perform, basically because he feels the result may not look right or it's not appropriate. That sort of honesty is what we should look for if and when any of us consider cosmetic surgery, in my book. In the meantime,
here's to the confident NYNO woman enjoying her active lifestyle in BC...and smiling all the way!

I posted here recently looking to improve a template in hopes to increase engagement with the page and decrease bounce rate.
Here is an example of a page how it used to look before:
Here is what it looks like now thanks to the advice on people here:
Here is what I changed:
1) problem text has white background
2) Social bookmarks and voting moved to the right so it doesn't distract from main content
3) I aligned the grid lines to be more consistent throughout the page. (does it show?)
Which one looks better the problem_dev.php link? Or the problem.php ?
Also, what other improvements should I make? I am sure many things are still not perfect with the page. Any suggestions what to improve next?
Also, one question: on the right side divs, the headings for them, should they be centered or left-adjusted?

Project oriented widgets
To enable this system at forge level, the configuration flag use_docman must be set to yes. Per project, the system can be enable/disable through the Project admin tab.
Relying on RBAC, document management permissions are:
- No Access: forbid any access to document management elements
- Read only: user can browse, download, search files.
- Submit documents: can add new files to existing public directories.
- Approve documents: full permissions on any directory and files.
- Doc manager administration: access to administrative tasks and settings.
Main Page
The main page is organized into 2 panes (directory tree, listing part). These panes provide the following subareas:
- the dynamic submenu (1)
- the directory tree (2)
- the directory full path (3)
- the paging preference (4)
- action buttons on the directory (5)
- file listing (6)
- mass actions on selected files (7)
- pending file listing (8)
- vertical handle bar (9)
The vertical handle bar can set the user preference on the size of the 2 major panes: directory tree & the listing part.
The submenu is dynamic depending on the data available and user permissions. The submenu contains the following elements:
- View Documents: point to the Main page.
- Add new items: Direct access to the multitab add element part. This multitab is also available through the direct access directory action buttons. Requires Submit documents permission.
- Search: Point to the search engine page.
- Trash: only available if a directory or a file has deleted status. Point to the main page with a view of the trash can. Requires Approve documents permission.
- Reporting: Requires Doc manager administration permission.
- Administration: Requires Doc manager administration permission.
Directory tree
The tree provides the ability to drill into the hierarchy of directories. The directory is identified by:
- a triangle or a dot. Triangle means the directory has at least one subdirectory. Dot means the directory has no subdirectory.
- the name of the directory
- between parentheses, number of documents per status in the directory.
Permission applies. Private directory requires Approve Documents permission.
Directory full path
The full path of the directory provides direct link access to each parent directory.
Paging preference
Only available if user is logged.
The paging preference can be modify on this page to select the number of artifacts displayed. This preference is unique per user across the forge. Default value is 25. Modifying here the paging preference will modify it to all pages using the paging system such as tracker browse page.

Trash page
FusionForge provides a trash mechanism. Both document and directory have a delete status. This delete status is used to identify which documents and/or directories can deleted. Each element can then be found in the trash.
The trash mechanism is implemented using a hardcoded, reserved and immutable directory name .trash. This .trash directory has as parent directory /.
Setting the status to delete for a single document move the parent directory of this document to .trash.
Setting the status to delete for a directory move the parent directory of this directory to .trash and set recursively all the content of this directory to delete status. In that case, the initial directory tree is keeped as it is.
The trash page is organized as the file listing view.
Delete a document
Deleting a document, set the status of the document to delete. There are several ways to achieve this:
- option 1:

Orbis Lux Eros - Nebulizing Aromatherapy Diffuser
Orbis Lux Eros - Nebulizing Aromatherapy Diffuser
The Orbis Lux Eros diffuser comes with a natural, light beechwood, spherical base and a hand-blown glass bottle. Unlike most other diffusers, the Orbis Lux Eros contains no plastic parts that would corrode when in contact with the oils. With proper care, your diffuser can last for many, many years. ArOmis diffusers use no heat or water to function, keeping the essential oil in its natural state as it becomes a mist.
There are several options for the built-in timer function. We can set the timer to cycle the Orbis Lux Eros on and off every ten minutes before turning it off. This can set at 1 hour, 4 hours or 8 hours before the unit turns itself off. This timer setting is ideal for users who want to turn the unit on and just forget about it. Alternatively, we can set the unit to continuous operation with a 12 hour auto-halt function. Please select your preferred timer setting when ordering.
These units make amazing and memorable gifts as they are stunningly beautiful, hand blown pieces of functional art. They are also perfect for spas, message studios, yoga studios or for anyone who wants their 30' x 30' space filled with essential oil aroma.
We support our diffusers with the same care that was put into making them. As you can tell from our reviews, we take extra special care that our customers are happy with their diffusers for years to come.
· Q: What is the difference between all the different units?
· A: Functionally, all the units act the same. The differences are in the aesthetics of both the unit and the bottle.

The 2013 legislative session began with a unanimous vote in the House and the Senate to appropriate emergency funding for additional Child Protective Services staff. With that vote, lawmakers affirmed child safety as a top priority and recognized that the dramatic growth in the number of reports of child abuse and neglect and the number of children living in foster care demand increased capacity to respond.
But the need for action doesn't end there. Lawmakers hold the safety of thousands of children in their hands as the budget negotiations heat up for fiscal year 2014.
The CPS system is so overwhelmed that basic steps for child safety take far too long or don't happen at all. Caseloads for the CPS staff are double what they should be. Children wait in foster care while their parents wait for substance abuse treatment. Even with a special SWAT team in continuous operation, thousands of investigations stay open for months on end and cases stall while children wait. Foster parents struggle to get attention from CPS caseworkers and have to fight for basic help for the children they care for. Children sleep in CPS offices because there aren't enough foster families to take them home.
The facts make it clear that the $77 million proposed by Governor Brewer for the CPS budget for next year is the bare minimum needed for child safety. This funding pays for additional CPS staff, child care for abused and neglected children, substance abuse treatment so parents can become safe and responsible, foster care and adoption for more children, and legal costs to move children into permanent homes.
Taxpayers clearly expect accountability and scrutiny for state spending to improve children's safety. The Department of Economic Security has already streamlined procedures, improved staff recruitment, and integrated business models into their operations to make the work of CPS more efficient. But those strategies are simply and clearly not enough to deal with a 33 percent rise in the number of reports of abuse and neglect and a 34 percent rise in the number of children living in foster care. There are now more than 14,000 children living in foster care — enough to fill the seats in Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum. The resources have to increase to protect more children.
The goal of Child Protective Services is to link each child with a safe and permanent family. Governor Brewer's budget recognizes that CPS staffing levels are only one part of the system capacity. Adding funding for additional CPS staff without corresponding funding for parent support and foster care and adoption is like adding more police officers without adding more patrol cars and radios. The new officers — like the new CPS staff — might be able to answer the phone, but they can't do their jobs to protect safety without the necessary tools.
Each year, the state budget reflects our common commitments to Arizona. For 2014, lawmakers should pass a state budget that closes glaring gaps in our child safety system. There is no commitment more important than that.
— Dana Wolfe Naimark is president and CEO of the Children's Action Alliance

ESPN Benches Bob Griese for 'Taco' Crack
Can anyone at ESPN keep a job? The network suspended Bob Griese today for a racist remark he made about NASCAR driver Juan Pablo Montoya.
While he was calling Saturday's Minnesota-Ohio State game, Griese made a crack about Montoya saying he was "out having a taco." Montoya is Colombian.
ESPN is yanking Griese off the air for one week, and a rep for the network says Griese "understands the comment was inappropriate."
Yesterday ESPN fired baseball analyst Steve Phillips after news broke of his sex scandal with a production assistant.

Richard Griffiths, Harry Potter Actor, Dies at 65
"I was proud to know him," Daniel Radcliffe said about the actor who played Vernon Dursley
Richard Griffiths, the well-spoken, rotund presence perhaps best known for playing Muggle guardian Vernon Dursley in the Harry Potter series – and who costarred again with Daniel Radcliffe in the stage drama Equus – died Thursday from complications after heart surgery at University Hospital in Coventry, central England, his agent announced Friday. He was 65.
"Richard was by my side during two of the most important moments of my career. I was proud to know him," Radcliffe said in a statement to the BBC.
Griffiths also won a Tony in 2006 for playing slightly wayward teacher Douglas Hector in Alan Bennett's The History Boys and was the outlandish Uncle Monty in the 1987 cult movie Withnail and I.
Born in North Yorkshire to two deaf parents – he learned sign language to communicate with them – Griffiths quit school at 15 before returning to study drama, which led to his joining the Royal Shakespeare Company. In 1973, during a production of Oscar Wilde's Lady Windermere's Fan, he met actress Heather Gibson.
They married in 1980, and she survives him.
Offstage he was every bit as colorful as he was on. "His anecdotes were legendary," said Sir Nicholas Hytner, director of the National Theatre, "They were, literally, endless. They would go on for hours, apparently without destination, constantly side-splitting."
Hytner added, according to the BBC, that Griffiths's sudden death would devastate his "army of friends."

Build it better. That's the American ingenuity behind many of today's successes in the automotive aftermarket industry and the story behind AIRAID® Filter Company.
The company was founded in 1997 when it began developing and manufacturing air intake systems for light trucks and SUVs, utilizing the cotton-gauze filter technology that was available at the time. The original AIRAID Intake System combined an open-element filter with an intake tube to make an easy-to install air intake kit that dramatically increased air flow, improved performance and generated more horsepower and torque.
It didn't take long to realize, that as the sales of intake systems nearly tripled in the first year of production, another source of filters was needed. At the time, AIRAID's founders believed they could produce a better-quality filter utilizing new technology and state-of-the-art materials. By November 2002, the AIRAID Filter Company was formed.
AIRAID Premium Filters consist of multiple layers of cotton-gauze plus one layer of synthetic fiber material sandwiched between either stainless steel or aluminum mesh, depending upon the application. The casing of the filter is hand-poured urethane, which offers superior performance and durability, and won't shrink or crack from prolonged heat exposure under the hood.
Over the years, AIRAID Filter Company has become the recognized leader in air management for both gasoline and diesel power plants. Extensive research and development has allowed AIRAID to come to market first with high-quality products that improve drivability and performance. It has also allowed us to further expand our product line to offer a complete line of AIRAID Intake Systems and PowerAid® Throttle Body Spacers.

This is the first in an occasional series of stories I'm writing on how medical practices – particularly smaller groups – are handling their health IT challenges. If you have suggestions for future columns please feel free to write to me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
It only took six months for Clem Surak to realize that his current EMR system wasn't going to cut it. Surak, who bought Wilmington, NC-based primary care practice Health Partners in 2011 with his wife, didn't originally come from the healthcare business, but he quickly saw that his IT platforms weren't cost-effective.
The systems he inherited to run the practice, an Allscripts EHR sprawling across three servers and a companion practice management platform called Tiger, were "very proprietary" and tech support wasn't easy to access. And they cost $20K per year to support two doctors.
Worse, the product wasn't very current. "Meaningful Use had to be downloaded as a separate module," said Surak.
Not surprisingly, Surak began looking for other options. After consulting with his local Regional Extension Center, he went with a new system from Amazing Charts (full disclosure: a former client of your editor). The new system, which went live in June 2012, offered some important benefits, including:
* Savings: It cost Health Partners $5,400/year to license the integrated Amazing Charts EHR, a $14,600 savings over the Allscripts systems.
* Maintenance: Because the new solution is cloud-based, the practice doesn't need to maintain the software or cope with technical breakdowns directly.
* Rollout: Implemented over the course of three months, with no slowdown or reduction in physician hours needed. "We kept our normal pace," Surak says.
* Data transfer: To bring patient demographic data over from Allscripts to the new system, all the practice had to do was export Allscripts data into an Excel spreadsheet, then run an Amazing Charts wizard which imported it.
Of course, the practice faced some challenges as well, largely around adjusting workflow and phasing out the old system:
* Running in parallel: For the first few years after the transition to Amazing Charts, Health Partners had to keep the Allscripts system running alongside the new system.
* Practice management lag: Amazing Charts didn't offer a practice management module at the time Health Partners acquired the EMR. Until mid-2015, when a practice management module became available, it had to keep doing patient scheduling and accounting in the Allscripts system.
Ultimately, despite some transitional hassles, Surak is glad he made the shift to a set of systems that work effectively in tandem. Putting a new EMR and practice management system in place hasn't just saved money, it's helped Surak keep efficiency high, running the practice with just a couple of support staffers.
"Most offices this size would have five to seven support staffers, but we don't have to," he says. "And keeping overhead down is the key to remaining independent."

Telstra has launched what it claims is the world's fastest mobile broadband service, with peak download speeds of 21Mbps and with the intention of increasing it to 42Mbps later this year.
A new modem jointly developed by Telstra, Ericsson, Qualcomm and Sierra Wireless – the Telstra Turbo 21 – is required to access the service which is delivered over the company's NextG HSPA+ mobile network.
Speaking at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Telstra CEO Sol Trujillo said the new mobile broadband rate would provide benefits for a range of industries and boost business productivity.
"In just over two years, we have taken our world leading network from peak network speeds of 3.6Mbps to 21Mbps and today we are launching the world's first commercial 21Mbps peak-rated modem," Trujillo said, adding such speeds is more than three times faster than existing devices.
The 21Mbps rated modems will be available to some business customers now, with a consumer offering to arrive in April. However, customers with these devices will see typical download speeds of up to 8Mbps, according to Telstra.
"With 21Mbps rated network and devices, we expect to see business productivity increase even further at a time when business and governments need to find practical ways to lift economies out of recession and do more with less," Trujillo said.
Sierra Wireless CEO Jason Cohenour, said Telstra took an early leadership role in HSPA+, approaching Sierra Wireless "long before any other carrier" to ensure devices would be ready for the first HSPA+ network roll-out in the world.
"We accelerated development of HSPA+ products to support Telstra's network roll-out and introduced not only an HSPA+ USB modem, but also an embedded module to support original equipment manufacturers in developing new products and solutions that can leverage the faster speeds that Telstra 21 delivers," Cohenour said.
Speed doesn't come cheap
Preliminary pricing for the new 21Mbps data service has been released with the Telstra Turbo 21 USB Modem selling for $499 if purchased outright, or for $299 with a 24 month $39 data pack. You will also pay $299 for the USM modem with a $59 data pack over 24 months.
The BigPond 21 USB Mobile card is available for $399 with a 12 month plan or purchased outright by existing BigPond customers upgrading their device.

Nanofader PT01 Install Guide
Open the PT-01
Remove all of the screws from the bottom of the PT-01, and lift the top section off. Unplug the black ribbon cable linking the top and bottom sections.
Board placement
Probably the best place for the nanofader board is next to the power supply board :
Don't secure the board to the pt-01 case until you have connected and tested everything.
Unscrew the main board
The main board is located in the top section, and looks like this :
Unscrew the four screws holding it to the case, and flip it over so you can access the underside. You'll probably have to remove a lot of hot glue to get enough slack on the cables.
Replace C8 and C18 with wires
Locate capacitors C8 and C18, which are towards the top left of the board (in the above picture). Desolder and remove them, like so :
The capacitors need to be replaced with wires that connect to the nanofader board. The connections should be made as follows :
Use one short cable for the AUDIO IN L/R connections, and another short cable for the AUDIO OUT L/R connections, like so :
The cable's shield should only be connected at the nanofader end.
You can now screw the main board back in.
Power Connection
The power PCB is found in the lower section of the pt-01. We are going to disable the (pointless) USB board and steal its power connection :
Cut the USB power cable down to about 10cm or so and strip the ends :
AUX IN connection
We can also hijack the USB board's AUX IN connector. The pinout of the connector is as follows :
Solder a longer length of audio cable to the underside of the USB board like so :
Nanofader connections
Now it's time to connect everything to the nanofader board!
All of the connections are made using green screw-in terminal blocks. To connect a wire, first strip the end (if necessary), make sure the terminal is completely unscrewed, then insert it into the terminal and turn the screw clockwise until it tightens.
The power cable (originally from the USB board) connects to the POWERIN connector on the nanofader. The red wire connects to the "+" terminal, and the white connects to the "G" terminal.
AUDIOIN and AUDIOOUT
The wires that replaced C8 and C18 are connected to the AUDIOIN and AUDIOOUT connectors. The shield of the cables should be connected to the "G" connector, and the left and right wires go to "L" and "R" respectively.
The AUX cable coming from the USB board should be connected just like the AUDIOIN and AUDIOOUT cables.
If you got your fader from me, I'll have labelled the wires. Connect "WWWWW" or "WIPER" to the "W" terminal of the FADER connector, and "GND" to the "G" terminal.
Click here for a full guide on how to connect various different fader types to the nanofader, including mounting suggestions.
Reconnect the black ribbon cable, power on the PT-01, start a record playing and check nothing blows up. Make sure the fader cuts the sound in and out (check both sides), and that the AUX IN works.
If the cut-in distance is too large, or the fader doesn't cut the sound, go to the next section.
Adjust Lag (optional)
With the fader closed, adjust the LAG pot with a small flathead screwdriver, until it JUST cuts the sound out and no more. Doing this with a record playing might be fiddly, maybe find something to stand the top section of the PT-01 on while you adjust the pot.
Fix board to PCB
Use blu-tak or something like that (adhesive pads? chewing gum?) to hold the board in place. For an even nicer solution drill some holes in the case and use stand-offs to hold the board in place.
You can probably figure this part out. Remember to put the screws back in the main board.

Broadway, famous thoroughfare in New York City. It extends from Bowling Green near the foot of Manhattan island N to 262d St. in the Bronx. Throughout its length Broadway is chiefly a commercial street. In lower Manhattan it runs through the financial center of the country; N of Union Square (14th St.) it passes a merchandising section; further N around Herald Square there are large department stores; finally around Times Square (42d St.), which has undergone significant redevelopment, it enters the theater district, or the
Great White Way,the most storied portion of Broadway. Points of interest along Broadway include Trinity Church (Wall St.); St. Paul's Chapel, built 1766 (near City Hall); the Woolworth Building (at Barclay St.); the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts (64th–66th streets); Columbia Univ. (113th–121st streets); the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center (168th St.); and Van Cortlandt Park (at the north end of the city). Broadway was laid out by the Dutch and was the principal street of New Amsterdam ; its northern stretches in Manhattan were formerly called Bloomingdale Road.

EDMONTON - Greg Marshall and Doug Sams have returned to the Edmonton Eskimos' coaching staff.
Marshall was hired Friday as the team's defensive co-ordinator, while Sams will serve as offensive co-ordinator.
Marshall spent five years as a defensive coach with the Eskimos, from 2000 to 2004. He has 22 years experience as a defensive coach and helped guide Edmonton to a Grey Cup win in 2003.
"Greg is a veteran coach with a wealth of experience that will enable our young and talented defensive players to continue to grow," coach Kavis Reed said in a release.
Marshall, who played 10 seasons in the CFL as a defensive lineman, was head coach of the Saskatchewan Roughriders for the early part of the 2011 season, but was fired eight games in.
Sams is entering his 16th season as an offensive coach. He was the quarterbacks coach last season for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
His first stint in Edmonton was with the 1987 Grey Cup championship team as its special teams co-ordinator and defensive line coach.
"Doug has tremendous experience developing young quarterbacks," Reed said. "He is a proven signal caller with vast experience in the CFL and NCAA."

Youtube user chubbybots recently posted a stellar tutorial for a small mech frame.
In honour of that, I bashed together a quick mech out of table scraps using his frame and thought I would post something that I've been tinkering with for literal years. It's one of those pet projects that seems to never be done, but might actually be complete.this time.
Table scraps mech:
My endless WIP was heavily inspired by the Sarran faction from Nova Refuge. Which is to say it's absurdy anime and impractically designed:
I would seriously appreciate any constructive criticism or feedback. Hope you enjoyed!
