METRO VANCOUVER - B.C.'s premier has announced plans to replace the aged and gridlocked George Massey tunnel, saying it would help ease one of the worst traffic bottlenecks in the province.
Premier Christy Clark said the project, which would take at least 10 years to plan and design, would help accommodate another 300,000 people in the region by 2040.
"Talk to anyone who drives through the George Massey Tunnel on their daily commute and they'll tell you it's a huge headache," Clark said at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention Friday, adding a new crossing would also relieve an "economic bottleneck" for Port Metro Vancouver.
"We have to make sure we as a provincial government are investing in the necessary infrastructure as part of the Pacific Gateway."
Clark said she plans to work with Delta and Richmond mayors on a replacement crossing, which could be either another tunnel or a bridge. It's still way too early, she added, to say if it would be tolled.
Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said she was delighted with the announcement Friday.
"[The provincial government] certainly heard me and heard what the community has to say," she said in a phone interview from London, England.
Delta has long lobbied for improvements or a replacement for the 53-year-old tunnel, predicting the Deltaport expansion will result in another 1,700 daily truck trips through the tunnel within five years.
Jackson has also warned the situation will be further compounded as the Tsawwassen First Nation pursues plans for a major commercial centre, and more drivers and ferry traffic divert to the tunnel to avoid paying tolls on the Golden Ears and new Port Mann bridges.
About 82,000 drivers use the tunnel daily on their commute to and from downtown Vancouver.
A final draft report on the economic impacts to Delta, conducted by Steer Davies Gleave for the corporation, suggests the tunnel is already operating at capacity during peak periods, and estimates the cost of congestion on the tunnel would rise to between $74 million and $173 million by 2041, from $27 million to $66 million in 2008.
The report also notes the tunnel is one of the worst areas for accidents on Highway 99. With no hard shoulders for stalled or disabled vehicles to move to, collisions or incidents can have a significant effect on tailbacks and congestion, further compounding the unreliability of travel time.
The draft report follows a 400-page Canadian Environmental Assessment Act screening report earlier this year for Port Metro Vancouver's Deltaport Terminal, Road and Rail Improvement Project. That report said the port expansion project could result in an additional 1,300 truck trips per day, for a total of 4,700 trucks into and out of the port, once the terminal reaches capacity in 2017.
A Delta staff report said of those trips, about 35 per cent — or another 450 trucks — would use the tunnel, bringing to 1,700 the daily total of two-way truck trips using the crossing.
Jackson wouldn't say whether she would prefer a bridge or a tunnel as a replacement, but added: "I don't happen to be an engineer but tunnels don't seem to be in vogue right now," she said. "We'll have to see what the engineers say."
Meanwhile, other Metro Vancouver mayors say while they welcome the replacement of the George Massey tunnel, the province should first tackle the root of the gridlock issue: getting people out of their cars and onto transit.
Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said that while he would like to start planning for the new crossing, the province has to work immediately on reducing the number of cars that continue to choke pressure points on the highway and on the tunnel's on and off ramps.
"If the government wants to do something to address the issue now they would be announcing additional sustainable funding for TransLink to provide buses," Brodie said. "What we need is a solution right now and the solution is to get more buses."
Both Brodie and Langley Mayor Peter Fassbender said the province should be looking at road pricing — charging drivers a fee for the distance travelled — to generate money for transit and get people out of their cars. Brodie noted a new tunnel or bridge is going to cost at least as much as the new $3.3-billion Port Mann, and will likely be tolled, considering the province has done so with both the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges.
"It gives you an idea of the magnitude of the issue," he said.
TransLink has had to postpone several transportation projects, arguing it doesn't have the money.
Metro Vancouver mayors have been in negotiations with the province on finding sustainable funding options, but were frustrated after the province rejected two of their proposals: using the carbon tax revenue for transit, and instituting a vehicle levy. Mayors can now use only gas taxes, fares and property taxes to raise money for transit.
NDP MLA Bruce Ralston argued the Liberal announcement is so far in the future that it only amounts to a "declaration of intention."

The engineering team at Geomagic has been hard at work the last few months responding to feedback from our customers and partners, and we are pleased to announce the availability of Service Release 1 for the Geomagic family of products. In addition to numerous bug fixes, we have added some interesting new features which will help make our users more productive.
In response to the boom in use cases for long range data (like that from Faro Focus, Surphaser, Leica et al), we implemented a new transform file format which greatly simplifies the alignment and registration of very large data sets. Our users asked for a better way to load data as a subsample of the original size, manually and globally register the scans, and then apply the transforms to the original unsampled data sets. So we responded with the new Multi-Object Transform File, or .mtfm for short. It is a single file which contains the transformation matrix for each object in the Model Manager. Simply load a small percentage of the data, align your scans, and save the file. Then when you are ready, load the original scans at full resolution and apply the transforms via the .mtfm file in less than a second your scans snap into correct alignment!
View this video for more information!
As part of our ongoing effort to provide robust CAD translation for free, we now support even more CAD formats, including CATIA V5 R21, Siemens NX8, SolidEdge ST4 and SolidWorks 2012, as well as PMI support for STEP and JT files. And did I mention that these and all other CAD formats are included at no charge in Qualify and Qualify Probe??
Other enhancements include a new high-precision option for best fit alignment, more accurate global registration, much faster processing for some point cloud operations, and a change to the methodology of QuickProbe which should make it even easier to use. We also made some minor changes to our platform to enable more scripting capabilities if you haven't already, check out Sandham's Flying Circus to stay current on happenings with our scripting engine.
We hope users will download and apply the patch to upgrade their systems to Service Release 1. Now it's back to work on Geomagic 2013!

Check out these gorgeous kosher dessert bars designed by the famous NYC entertaining diva Amy Atlas.
Thank you Amy for sharing your sweet kosher dessert design tips with Jewish Hostesses all over the globe!
A note to all our readers- Amy designs kosher dessert bars for all occasions including brit milahs, bar and bat mitzvahs, bridal showers, weddings, and any other happy occasion that you can dream up!
Amy's tips for designing your own Kosher Dessert bar:
- Take something that inspires you and create your dessert table around it. The design can be inspired from something as personal as a family heirloom to as simple as the pattern on the host's invitation. Let the dessert table tell a story about the event so that the dessert not only becomes functional, but becomes part of the event design.
- Create a beautiful backdrop for your dessert table. Décor elements complete the look of a dessert table and a fabulous backdrop is the perfect way to incorporate artistry to the table.
- Pick beautiful linens and unique vessels to dress up your kosher dessert table. Since your sweets will be the star of your dessert table, the linens and vessels should have a coordinated, tailored look.
- Always sample your dessert vendors before using them for your event. A beautiful cake is not always the best tasting cake! The key is to find the right balance. Pick kosher desserts that not only look good together, but provide a balance for your guests' palate.
- Incorporate some type of signage to dress up the dessert table. This will show your guests how personal your kosher dessert table is. You can have your stationer create personalized tags for you.
- Provide goody bags for your guests as take-home desserts. It is always a treat to give your guests something to take home to remind them of how sweet the day was.
Amy's favorite shops/online destinations for supplies:
"I love Michaels, Kate's Paperie, and Lee's Art Shop for supplies,
Crate and Barrel (www.crateandbarrel.com) is great for platters and vases."
One of Amy's favorite Kosher Dessert Recipes (something easy/fun to make): –
Chocolate chip peanut butter cookies or bars – I'm a huge chocolate peanut butter lover!
- 2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup butter, melted
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
In a medium bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs, confectioners' sugar, peanut butter and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan. Melt chocolate chips over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring occasionally. Spread melted chocolate over the crumb crust. Chill for about 5 minutes, then cut into bars before the chocolate is completely set, then chill until ready to serve.

Racing around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course is nothing new for GRAND-AM veteran and occasional NASCAR driver Boris Said III. He was there the day that four-time Brickyard champion and four-time NASCAR Cup champion Jeff Gordon and then Formula One driver and current NASCAR driver Juan Pablo Montoya switched race cars in June 2003.
Montoya, winner of the 2000 Indianapolis 500, drove Gordon's No. 24 Chevrolet while Gordon got to drive Montoya's Williams-BMW F1 car.
"I drove people around in my BMW race car and that was pretty cool," Said recalled. "And I qualified for my first Brickyard there, and that was a neat experience."
Said started 32nd and finished 31st in his first Brickyard 400 in 2005. The next year he started 43rd and finished 42nd.
Said is back at the Brickyard this year as a GRAND-AM driver for the Kroger Super Weekend at the Brickyard, competing in both sports car races Friday. He will drive in the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge for Turner and will also be in the cockpit of the Whelen Corvette Daytona Prototype in the Rolex Sports Car Series race.
"I've raced there twice in the Cup car in the Brickyard, and it was pretty cool – a big deal," Said remembered. "I think there are three marquee races that GRAND-AM has – the 24 Hours of Daytona, the Detroit Grand Prix because its Motor City and Indianapolis. I think it's neat. It's hard to explain to somebody what it's like sitting on the starting grid at Indianapolis looking down the straightaway. It's a unique thing.
"It's special."
Said has been quite popular in GRAND-AM because of his personality and television work that he has done in motorsports in the past.
"I'm surprised the people that know me at a place like Detroit, from the hotel people that people you wouldn't think are race fans," Said opined. "I'm always surprised by it, but it's flattering. It always has been and always will be. Maybe the appeal is because I'm funny-looking or I always speak what is on my mind, and I don't always say the right thing.
"I have no idea because I don't know if I would be a Boris Said fan."
Perhaps it's the fact that Boris is a unique name. Or maybe it's his unique racing career.
"I've raced so many different things, and that appeals to some people," Said offered.
While many of the drivers in the GRAND-AM field drove on the IMS road course for the first time during a recent test in July, Said got to tool around the race course way back in 2003.
"The Continental Challenge is always exciting," Said said. "For sure, Turn 1 will be really exciting because of the turnoff to the infield is real easy to try to pull out and pass and outbrake somebody, and in GRAND-AM, you will see that. The Cup race is long and it's hard to run two-by-two and harder to race in the Cup car, but in GRAND-AM there should be a few things we can do."
During Said's Cup career, he won the pole at Sonoma in 2003 and another pole at Daytona for the July 2006 race and has achieved a level of success in other divisions of NASCAR. In 44 Cup starts over 14 years, he has two top-five finishes and eight top-10s.
In 23 Nationwide starts in 23 years, he had one win, at Montreal in 2010. In 65 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series starts, Said has one win, at Sonoma in 1998, six top-five and nine top-10 finishes.
Since 1998, Said has 10 wins, 17 podiums and 12 poles in 63 GRAND-AM starts.
"I have multiple poles in all three series, with a Truck win and a Nationwide win and two or three top-fives in Cup, and that is hard," said Said, 49. "I remember the first year I went there to watch the Indy 500 when Arie Luyendyk won in 1990 I remember that year in the Corvette Challenge being around Indy cars all the time. When I went to Indy just to watch, it's a special place.
"A.J. Foyt said it best when he said that place makes stars. Dario Franchitti, no matter all of the things he has won and as good as he is, the first thing you will say about him is he's a three-time Indianapolis 500 winner. That's the first thing that will come out of your mouth.
"It's a big boost to GRAND-AM because there will be a lot more eyes on the series," Said said. "And when you get a lot more eyes, you get a lot more involvement, and that is what we need."

In Plato's perfect Republic, children would be "taken to a pen or fold and raised by nurses…the process of suckling shall not be protracted too long; and the mothers will have no getting up at night or other trouble." Plato's Republic had parents without parenthood.
Israeli Zionists in the early Twentieth Century thought the burden of childrearing and homemaking was the cause of gender inequality. They emulated Plato's Utopian form of childrearing in their communes and tried to eliminate parenthood. Similarly, royalty and the wealthy usually have hired others to care for their children.
The motif of delegating parenting now permeates the United States, although it is encountering resistance from those who prize close relationships with their children. This resistance by parents and grandparents led ultimately to abolishing the separation of parents and children in kibbutzim. Today kibbutzim support parenthood with long parental leaves and accommodation of the work place to family living. The society that once attempted to abolish parenthood became a strong advocate of parenthood because after decades it saw that the lack of attachment bonding during early life produced adults who lacked empathy for, and the ability to sustain committed relationships with, others.
Parenthood generally is not accorded a high value in the United States. Having a baby is a status symbol…caring for one is not. Having a parent in itself means nothing to babies, children and adolescents. Competent parents who can handle the responsibilities of parenthood mean everything to them.
Unlike other Western nations, the United States does not recognize the economic value of parenthood. Many parents are diverted from childrearing to paid employment either by choice or by necessity in welfare-to-work programs. In fact, competent parents contribute $1.4 million to our economy for each of their children who becomes a productive worker. Incompetent parents cost our economy $2.8 million for each child they damage by neglect and/or abuse.
The disparagement of parenthood is felt particularly strongly by adults who place parenthood above employment away from home during their children's early lives. The term "working women and men" refers to people who are employed away from home and implies that homemaking is not work or is less important than paid work.
In the United States, childcare is regarded as a marketable educational function rather than as a fulfilling developmental experience for adults and children as it is in other Western nations that support parenthood through paid family leaves and other benefits. Hiring non-parents to care for children creates jobs.
Our society also is imbued with materialistic beliefs that encourage parents to seek alternatives to caring for their children. One widely held belief is that both parents should be employed away from home on a full-time basis in order to generate enough income to pay for high quality childcare along with luxury goods and services.
Most importantly, our society doesn't recognize parenthood as a career. It doesn't formally acknowledge that childrearing is skilled, hands-on work in which parents and children bond and grow together. It automatically awards full parental rights to any genetic parent regardless of age or ability until the child is damaged by the parent's neglect or abuse and parental rights are terminated by a court.
Nonetheless, parenthood is a lifelong career. For most parents, parenthood is just as important as a paid career if not more so. This is especially evident during a parent's later years. Louis Terman's Stanford study of eminent women and men found that, as they looked back on their lives, they valued family relationships over their professional careers.
Our society doesn't formally articulate parenthood standards except for adoptive and foster parents and for the adoption of pets. However, our culture does hold expectations for people who give birth to a child. The vast majority of children are raised by parents who fulfill these cultural expectations by building and maintaining parent-child bonds, but an increasing number are not.
Adults who didn't have caring, intimate relationships with their parents find sustaining committed relationships difficult, including with spouses and offspring. Because committed relationships and teamwork are vital to our society's integrity and prosperity, we must articulate our cultural expectations of parenthood, the source of committed relationships. Our implicit cultural expectations codified in child abuse and neglect statutes include a child's right to competent parents.
Plato's idea of raising children away from their parents was not realized in ancient Greece. It failed in all subsequent childrearing experiments from the Israeli kibbutzim to the People's Republic of China. Even the wealthy who delegated childrearing often do not have rewarding family relationships. Still, Plato's ideal is taking hold in the United States.
In the long run, parenthood is more important to our society than paid vocations. Competent parents produce our citizens and workers. Parenthood is the career that benefits everyone.
Parents need an effective political voice to ensure that parenthood is valued in the United States. An "American Association of Parents" could be that voice.
Dr. Jack Westman develops public policies to give every child the chance to become a productive citizen. During decades as a psychiatrist and professor, he has maintained a focus on strengthening families. Currently, he is a family lobbyist and author of Parent Power: The Key to America's Prosperity. www.jackwestman.com and www.americasparentpower.com.

Acrobat XI: One Louder
The weather has changed, the leaves are falling, it must be that time of the year; yes, another version of Acrobat! This is an awesome version, the best version of Acrobat yet. Why? This one goes to 11. We were on 10. We asked ourselves: where can you go from there? Where?
This is truly a solid release. I got to hand to the folks in the Acrobat group. If you don't believe me, check out this great review on PC Mag.
With every Acrobat release I frequently get asked the same question: Acrobat __ just came out, is it going to be added to Creative Suite __? Good question, but always the same lame answer: nope. It is similar to if you bought a 2012 model car with the crusty old iPhone/iPod 30-pin adapter built-in and then you asked the dealer: "Hey Car Sales Dude, why are you killing my buzz? Get with the now! I've got an iPhone 5 now and need a Lightning connector stat!"
This is at least, how I talk to car salesmen. I pay full sticker price.
Anyway, the reason why we don't add the latest version to the Creative Suite media is that, well, it is media. It would costs gobs of money to press new physical discs with the newly included Acrobat and tons of hours of Quality Engineering hours to test out the new build of the media in every single dang language for every configuration of the Suite. Yes, gobs and tons. Or to put it another way: tons and gobs.
Worth noting that if you have a multi-year license agreement with us that includes separate copies of Acrobat, it is likely that you have access to Acrobat XI. Speak with you Adobe Account Rep or take a visit to the Adobe Licensing Web Site aka LWS.
Now a big thing to get out of the way is that AAMEE 3.1 does not, I repeat, does not support Acrobat XI. Lame. Majorly. We really wanted to, seriously, but our schedules were simply not aligned. More like tragically misaligned. Per usual, right? Shrug. But on a good note, the Acrobat team has configuration tools for both platforms now. That is right, both Windows and Mac! Someone get the thermometer out. Hell may not have frozen over, but it certainly cold enough down there to start drinking cocoa and wearing mittens. Ah, such nice imagery.
With Acrobat they have given you, the IT admin: 1) native package installers 2) cumulative updates 3) SCUP catalog support & now 4) a Customization tool for both platforms. Can I get a shout out to the Acrobat crew?
Oh, wait, there's more: the Mac version of Acrobat's Adobe Customization Wizard gives you the ability to add a configured plist file. Awesome.
If you are supporting Acrobat XI head over to the Acrobat Toolkit For Acrobat Products page:
My buddy Steve Cordero has also created two IT Tips & Tricks videos on Adobe TV that cover the two new Customization Wizards. Yes, that is two wizards. There is a joke somewhere. So two wizards walk into a bar…

JAMF's "Administering Adobe Acrobat XI Pro with the Casper Suite" doc is now live! Thanks to the JAMF crew for putting this doc together.
thanks for the videos. Now I know, what's written on the buttons….
It would be useful, if one could switch off the auto-upgrade for clients in Acrobat, just like I can do with AAMEE. Is this possible?
Can you clarify your inquiry? If it's about Acrobat Updates then this can be addressed either pre-deployment with the Adobe Customization Wizard ( http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5515 ) or with the ETK's Preference Reference registry entries ( http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/PrefRef/Windows/Updater-Win.html?zoom_highlight=Update )
If you really do mean Upgrades then please clarify specifically what interface you are referring.

CREW TV brings you closer to the industry's
most influential leaders and thinkers. Click on the videos below to watch the interviews:
The booms days of the real estate market made the Smith Manoeuvre a darling of savvy advisors and clients, but has risk aversion sidelined this Canuck strategy? Or can it still better the returns you now get on real estate? Watch and learn from this WealthProfessional.ca news report.
Video transcript below:
WP: Remember the Smith Manoeuvre. It was a popular move during the real estate boom. But with Central Bank warnings over consumer debt and a precarious outlook for Canadian housing. Is it still useful? Advisors weigh in on WP.
Ed Rempel is one of Canada's Smith Manoeuvre experts. He is a strong advocate for the tactic.
Ed Rempel, Ed Rempel & Associates and Armstrong & Quaile Associates
Ed Rempel: It's one of the best long term wealth building strategies that you could do in Canada. So we have a kind of building up for retirement and we find from experience that many Canadians are not able to save enough to have the retirement that they want. What the Smith Manoeuvre does is allows you to use the equity in your home instead of your cash flow to invest for your retirement.
WP: Other advisers are less keen, suggesting that the move has had its day and that it is overly risky, puts the client's biggest asset in jeopardy.
Sudhir Bhalla, G.N. Financial Group
Sudhir Bhalla: See when you're borrowing money against your house you are basically disturbing your safety net. The whole purpose for you to do a Smith Manoeuvre is a tax deductibility. So tax deductibility you can go to any other financial institution, borrow money from them, invest it wherever you want to invest and then you make the interest as a tax deduction. If something goes wrong and you are not in a position, you have some financial difficulties, at least your home equity or your paid up mortgage, paid up house is still available. I would say that is more important than going to borrow money against your house.
WP: As with any advice, whether it's good for a client will depend on their specific needs, financial goals and risk appetite.
Chris Karram, Safebridge Financial Group & Investment Planning Council
Chris Karram: So the strategy itself is a great strategy, but what we do believe as a company at Safebridge is the simple fact that it is not a one size fits all and by no means is it for every single client. And what we have seen over the last 10 to 12 years is the extremely strong real estate marketing with the recent fears that have come along, you know side of the media and obviously just the reality of this tax that we have been doing over the last year in change, you know it's definitely changed the perspective of borrowing to invest. You know everyone does that to buy their home. Yet to you know use that to grow your net worth specifically from an investment perspective changes the game a little bit.

community of people who share a common language, culture, ethnicity, descent, or history
(Redirected from Nationality)
A nation is a stable community of people, formed on the basis of a common language, territory, history, ethnicity, or psychological make-up manifested in a common culture.
- The introduction of the Christian religion into the world has produced an incalculable change in history. There had previously been only a history of nations — there is now a history of mankind; and the idea of an education of human nature as a whole, — an education the work of Jesus Christ Himself — is become like a compass for the historian, the key of history, and the hope of nations.
- Jean-Henri Merle d'Aubigné, reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 141.
- Nations, like men, have their infancy.
- Henry Bolingbroke, Letters on Study and Use of History (1752).
- Happy are all free peoples, too strong to be dispossessed. But blessed are those among nations who dare to be strong for the rest!
- Elizabeth Barrett Browning, "A Court Lady", stanza 20, The Poetical Works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1974), p. 418.
- If we're an arrogant nation, they'll resent us. If we're a humble nation, but strong, they'll welcome us.
- George W. Bush, presidential debate (11 October 2000).
- The coming of a new life always excites our interest. Although we know in the case of the individual that it has been an infinite repetition reaching back beyond our vision, that only makes it the more wonderful. But how our interest and wonder increase when we behold the miracle of the birth of a new nation.
- Nations do not now stand in the same relation to each other that they did ages ago. No nation can now shut itself up from the surrounding world, and trot round in the same old path of its fathers without interference. The time was when such could be done. Long established customs of hurtful character could formerly fence themselves in, and do their evil work with social impunity. Knowledge was then confined and enjoyed by the privileged few, and the multitude walked on in mental darkness. But a change has now come over the affairs of mankind. Walled cities and empires have become unfashionable. The arm of commerce has borne away the gates of the strong city. Intelligence is penetrating the darkest corners of the globe. It makes its pathway over and under the sea, as well as on the earth. Wind, steam, and lightning are its chartered agents. Oceans no longer divide, but link nations together.
- The honor of a nation is an important thing. It is said in the Scriptures, "What doth it profit a man if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" It may be said, also, What doth it profit a nation if it gain the whole world, but lose its honor?
- When the architect intends a grand structure, he makes the foundation broad and strong. We should imitate this prudence in laying the foundations of the future republic. There is a law of harmony in all departments of nature. The oak is in the acorn. The career and destiny of individual men are enfolded in the elements of which they are composed. The same is true of a nation. It will be something or it will be nothing. It will be great, or it will be small, according to its own essential qualities. As these are rich and varied, or pure and simple, slender and feeble, broad and strong, so will be the life and destiny of the nation itself. The stream cannot rise higher than its source. The ship cannot sail faster than the wind. The flight of the arrow depends upon the strength and elasticity of the bow, and as with these, so with a nation.
- Frederick Douglass, Our Composite Nationality (7 December 1869), Boston, Massachusetts
- As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, And you will be the father of a multitude of nations. "No longer shall your name be called Abram, But your name shall be Abraham; For I will make you the father of a multitude of nations. "I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and kings will come forth from you.…
- Genesis 17:5.
- And I will shake all the nations, and the precious things of all the nations will come in; and I will fill this house with glory,' says Jehovah of armies.
- Honesty, decency, faithfulness, and comradeship, ... must be shown when dealing with those of like blood but to no one else. What happens to a Russian, to a Czech, does not interest me in the slightest. . . . Whether nations live in prosperity or starve to death like cattle interests me only insofar as we need them as slaves for our culture. . . . Whether 10,000 Russian females collapse from exhaustion while digging an antitank ditch interests me only insofar as the antitank ditch for Germany is finished.
- Heinrich Himmler, cited in Awake! magazine 1987, 3/22, article: The World Since 1914, Part 2; 1929-1934 Worldwide Depression and On to War Again
- A nation is a society united by a delusion about its ancestory and by a common hatred of its neighbors.
- William Ralph Inge, The Perpetual Pessimist.
- Look! The nations are like a drop from a bucket,
And as the film of dust on the scales they are regarded.
Look! He lifts up the islands like fine dust.
- Nations will certainly go to your light, and kings to the brightness of your shining forth.
- The little one will become a thousand, and the small one a mighty nation. I myself, Jehovah, will speed it up in its own time.
- She gave birth to a son, a male, who is to shepherd all the nations with an iron rod. And her child was snatched away to God and to his throne.
- [T]hough affluence is a good thing, and the spirit of compassionate reform is a good thing, in the end a nation survives only to the extent that the spirit of self-discipline and self-sacrifice is strong and vital.
- The great nations have always acted like gangsters, and the small nations like prostitutes.
- Stanley Kubrick, The Guardian (1963)
- There are various ways to protect the nation, but nothing more is patriotic than giving one's life for the nation. This is the best patriotism.
- Myung-bak Lee, as quoted in "'Northern Limit Line' about more than past inter-Korean clash" (29 June 2015), by Ha-young Choi, NK News
- The law of nations knows of no distinction of color, and if an enemy of the United States should enslave and sell any captured persons of their army, it would be a case for the severest retaliation, if not redressed upon complaint.

Slumping Plouffe gets chance to rest vs. KC
KANSAS CITY -- Third baseman Trevor Plouffe, who went over the railing to make a catch in foul ground in Monday's 13-0 loss, was held out of the Twins' lineup on Tuesday night against the Royals.
Jamey Carroll, who threw a scoreless inning in his first career appearance as a pitcher on Monday, started at third base in Plouffe's absence.
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said Plouffe just needed a breather, as he's also mired in a 6-for-54 slump.
"He took that tumble right near the end of the dugout right by us and it was a pretty hard fall, but mentally he's fighting it right now," Gardenhire said. "He's frustrated. You can see it in his swing. I think he was frustrated he was on first base and got picked off. So he just needs a break."
Plouffe said he's fine physically, and was helped by a fan as he went over the railing to make the catch.
"Everything feels good -- to be honest with you, I don't even have a scratch on me," Plouffe said. "I landed on somebody and it kind of stopped me. He was just sitting there. I took a look at the replay on the computer and it looked a lot worse than it actually was."
Shortstop Pedro Florimon was also out of the lineup for a fourth straight day with inflammation in his left wrist, but could return as soon as Wednesday. He took batting practice from both sides of the plate before Tuesday's game in anticipation of his return.
"Hopefully, he'll be in there in the next day or two," assistant general manager Rob Antony said. "He's continuing to improve."

Derby rookie Alvarez starts slow, hits six out
Pirates slugger just misses the cut in native New York, eliminated after first round
NEW YORK -- They first made their introductions down in South Florida back in 2004. Pedro Alvarez, then a junior in high school, had, along with dad, Pedro Sr., just made the 22-hour drive from their New York City home to the site of a Perfect Game showcase.
Rudy Pena, a journeyman Minor Leaguer, was nearing the end of his mostly anonymous professional career. He would throw batting practice upon request during his offseason, and after meeting the Alvarez family, he agreed to throw a round to Pedro.
More than nine years later, the impression remains vivid.
"That day I threw to Pedro, I thought he had a chance to be in the big leagues," Pena recalled. "And he made it. He's there."
Pena and Alvarez remained in touch after that meeting -- through Alvarez's standout career at Vanderbilt University and his selection as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2008 First-Year Player Draft and his arrival in Pittsburgh.
The two were reunited on the baseball field Monday, with Pena throwing to Alvarez, a first-time Chevrolet Home Run Derby participant, in front of a sellout crowd and a national audience. And 15 miles away from the high school field on which Alvarez used to shine, the Pirates third baseman turned heads again.
Alvarez tallied six home runs -- the longest a 461-foot blast to the right-field upper deck -- at New York's Citi Field before recording 10 first-round outs. The total was not enough to advance to the Derby semifinals, though it did equal the number of home runs hit by the Pirates' four previous Derby hitters: Jason Bay, Barry Bonds, Bobby Bonilla and Andrew McCutchen.
"I don't think it's hit me yet, to be honest with you," Alvarez said shortly after Oakland's Yoenis Cespedes took the Derby crown. "It was a surreal experience. Obviously, I've never experienced something like that. I was glad to be a part of something like that. It was a blast."
A product of the Horace Mann School in New York City, Alvarez said it was an "easy decision" to select Pena, now the third-base coach with the Pirates' Class A Bradenton (Fla.) affiliate, to pitch to him.
Pena didn't hesitate in accepting the invitation.
"It's an honor for me," Pena said. "There were a lot of people he could have invited, too, [from] the Major Leagues. When he gave me the call the other day, it surprised me. This was one of my dreams to pitch in the Home Run Derby. It's the first, not the last, I think, for us."
Before taking his turn, Alvarez elicited suggestions from teammate and 2012 Derby participant McCutchen, who advised him to "take as many balls as you need. Get yourself where you feel like you're ready to swing. Don't go up there just trying to swing at the first pitch."
Alvarez complied, taking several pitches before he took his first cut. The first four balls Alvarez put in play were outs. The fifth -- a 376-foot shot to the right field -- got him on the home-run scoreboard. The left-handed-hitting Alvarez hit five of his six home runs to right. Four of those landed in the second deck.
His other blast traveled 456 feet to center. Alvarez's six dingers averaged a distance of 402 feet. His 461-foot homer was the third-longest hit in the first round.
"You have some jitters, obviously," Alvarez said. "But after it is all said and done, it was just a whole lot of fun. I was fortunate to be a part of it."
Joining the Pirates' four other All-Stars to root on Alvarez from field-side seats and in official orange All-Star jerseys was Alvarez's father. It was Pedro Sr. who moved his family from the Dominican Republic to New York when Alvarez was an infant and later took a job as a cab driver so that he could support his family financially while still having time to help his son pursue his baseball dream.
"It's very special for me, because Pedro grew up here and a lot of people still like him around here," Alvarez Sr. said afterward, with Pena translating. "He did this in front of the fans he grew up in front of."
Advancing to the Derby semifinals were Cespedes (17 home runs), Baltimore's Chris Davis (eight), Washington's Bryce Harper (eight) and Colorado's Michael Cuddyer (seven). Alvarez, Prince Fielder (five), David Wright (five) and Robinson Cano (four) were eliminated.
With the highest combined totals from two rounds, Cespedes and Harper moved on to the finals, which Cespedes won with nine blasts. In all, the A's outfielder hit 32 home runs.

Hello all - thanks to the admins for this valuable resource. I hope I can trouble this lymphedema hive mind with a question or two.
Briefly - I am 43, and morbidly obese. I was over 500lbs as of a year ago but have lost about 100lbs through diet and exercise and am 400 or so now. I have what Google tells me is called a "Massive Localized Lymphedema" on my left thigh. It more than doubles the girth of my thigh and weighs at least 30lbs, like having a big bag of wet sand strapped to the inside of my leg.
It became really noticeable about 2 years ago, and I've tried conventional approaches to lymphedema - compression bandages, massage for drainage, etc. with temporary and minor relief at best. My internist referred me to Dr. Charles Chandler of UCLA Hospital to consider surgical removal of the lobule, and he and his colleague Dr. Charles Tseng (a plastic surgeon by specialty) both feel that surgery is warranted and likely to have good results. The physical therapist I work with, Mary Rosenberg, has expressed reservations regarding the amount of anatomy beyond the skin and fat I would be losing, and whether I would be setting myself up for a worse recurrence given the loss of lymph drainage from the lower leg into the body.
I was hoping to tap into your experience in these matters, as neither Dr. Chandler or Dr. Tseng have done this specific thing before. They are undoubtedly competent and certainly confident, but my confidence would be dramatically improved if I had a chance to talk to someone who had actually performed or been through such a surgery before anyone attempts it on me. The people here at UCLA in the Bariatrics and General Surgery depts can't seem to offer me that.
I'd love to hear any comments you might have, and whether any of you have had similar surgeries and what the outcomes have been. If you have any wisdom here, I would be genuinely grateful for anything you might be able to offer - even if it's just the name of someone here in Los Angeles or elsewhere with more direct experience of the surgical resolution of MLL.
Best regards and many thanks for reading this far,
---- Andrew

facilitated by Elizabeth Buie from UserWorks, Inc., the firm that conducted the usability assessment of ALA's Web site in Sept./Oct. 2006

Revision as of 17:04, 3 January 2007
The usability assessment of the ALA website that we undertook this fall has been completed and is available as a PDF document. At this point, we want to build on the results of this report to develop a vision and an outline of a plan for moving forward on important changes to the website.
To that end, a planning retreat was held in Chicago on Monday, December 18, 2006. The basic purposes of the retreat were to answer the question, "What would we do if we were starting with a clean slate?" and to develop a vision statement and an outline of a plan for the ideal website to serve our diverse needs. Retreat participants will consist of members and staff, many of whom also participated in stakeholder interviews. In addition, we will also have some "fresh eyes" among the participants.
While we know we will not be able to implement all the recommendations from the group immediately, we do plan on moving forward with as many as possible within the next 3 to 6 months.
The retreat was facilitated by Elizabeth Buie, Principal Usability Specialist and Director of Interaction Design at UserWorks, the company that conducted the usability assessment. In order to make sure that the planning process and the development of future directions for the ALA website will be as transparent as possible, we have established a blog for discussion and this wiki for gathering background material and outcomes. The notes from the Web Planning Retreat are archived on this site, with comments invited from outside the group.

An X-ray marked the spot for southwest Florida police who say a teenager swallowed a $16 pair of earrings after taking them from a JCPenney store at a mall.
Authorities say William Colburn faces charges that include retail theft and tampering with evidence.
Naples Police say the 18-year-old was in the store on Saturday when security saw him remove the earrings from a box, drop them into a bottle of water and leave without paying.
When a security officer approached him outside the store, authorities say the teenager drank the water, swallowing the earrings.
Police said Monday the X-ray confirmed the earrings were inside him. A police spokesman didn't know whether the suspect required medical treatment for having swallowed the earrings.
Police do not know if he has an attorney. A phone listing for Colburn couldn't be found.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – In his final days as Duval County Clerk of Courts, Jim Fuller gave 30 employees big raises and went on a $140,000 spending spree, according to new Clerk Ronnie Fussell.
Fussell said that in addition to the $200,000 in raises and buying iPads and other equipment outside of normal city purchasing procedures, Fuller also authorized $46,000 of taxpayer money to pay attorney fees from his legal fight to seek a fourth term as clerk -- a battle he lost.
Fussell made the revelations Friday after a 30-day review of the office that administers Duval County's criminal and civil courts.
"Whether it was illegal, I doubt it. Inappropriate? Yes. Unethical? Yes, especially without making me aware of it," Fussell said.
The city's General Counsel's office is looking into the use of clerk of court funds to pay Fuller's legal bills after they told him he could not pay those fees out of his budget.
Fuller (pictured, right) responded to Fussell's revelations by saying he did nothing wrong.
"I was the Clerk of the Court. I felt it was appropriate to do what I did," Fuller told Channel 4's Jim Piggott. "I did not misappropriate any money."
In addition to leaving office after a very public battle over term-limit restrictions, Fuller also got into a dispute with City Council in his final months over paying $173,928 in bonuses to 35 of his appointed employees.
Council passed an amendment to the city budget for the coming year reducing the Clerk of Courts' budget by an amount equal to the bonuses given.
Fuller maintained at the time it was state money and had nothing to do with city of Jacksonville funds, and he was entitled to spend it any way he wanted.
The now-retired Fuller continues to defend his actions, including giving more than two-dozen appointed employees raises of between $4,000 and $20,000 in his final weeks in office -- many to the same employees he had given bonuses to last fall.
Fussell rescinded the raises as soon as he learned of them. Two of the 30 employees affected opted to leave the clerk's office rather than work at the salary they earned last year.
"Ronnie has his own opinion on how he wants to run the clerks' office. I could say, 'Why didn't he call me about these issues and ask me about that?'" Fuller said of Fussell. "Ronnie's never called me."
John Crescimbeni, who was Fuller's harshest critic on City Council, called this last-minute spending spree "egregious."
"To do that at the last opportunity where it would not show up on his watch but show up on the incoming clerk's watch is reprehensible," Crescimbeni said.

Hi all.
I've had this idea - a conjecture in the field of Number Theory - for a few years now. The conjecture is rather simple, as were the logical steps that I made in order to infer it, so I would have assumed that it had already been suggested in the past. Nevertheless, I have not been able to find any piece of evidence that it had (possibly due to the difficulty of "phrasing" it into Google's search engine).
I would appreciate your opinion of the following:
- Are you familiar with this theorem in any way?
- Is it eligible to be stated as an open conjecture in Number Theory?
My conjecture can be stated in any of the following ways:
- No set S ⊂ { (3n+2)/(2n+1) │ n∈N } exists such that ∏Si is a power of 2
- No set S ⊂ { (3n+2)/(2n+1) │ n∈N } exists such that ∏Si is integer
- No multi-set S ⊂ { (3n+2)/(2n+1) │ n∈N } exists such that ∏Si is integer
- In a set, no element can appear more than once
- In a multi-set, any element may appear more than once
In simple words: Take any group of numbers from the series {5/3, 8/5, 11/7, 14/9, 17/11, 20/13, ...}. Calculate the product (multiplication) of these numbers - the result will never be an integer number.
In its weakest form (#1), my conjecture is sufficient for proving that there are no cyclic sequences in the '3n+1' conjecture (the proof for that is pretty simple, but I am not including it here because it is not the main purpose of my question). I believe that my conjecture also holds in its strongest form (#3).
Thank you very much for your time.

3/4 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons (1¼ sticks) chilled unsalted margarine cut into ½-inch cubes
5 tablespoons (about) chilled orange juice, divided
1 large egg, white, beaten to blend
1½ cups (packed) golden brown sugar
¾ cup (1½ sticks) unsalted margarine, diced
3 Albemarle Pippin apples or Fuji apples (1½ to 1¾ pounds), peeled, quartered cored
¾ cup sugar
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
4 large eggs
¼ cup light corn syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1½ cups coarsely chopped pecans, toasted
Blend flour, sugar, and salt in processor 5 seconds. Add margarine. Using on/off turns, blend until margarine is reduced to small pea-size pieces. Add 4 tablespoons orange juice. Blend, using on/off turns, until moist clumps form, adding more juice by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball, flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and chill at least 1 hour.
Roll out dough on floured surface to 14-inch round. Transfer to 10-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Cut off all but ½ inch of dough overhang. Fold dough edge under and crimp decoratively, forming high-standing rim. Freeze 10 minutes. Brush inside of crust with enough beaten egg white to coat.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk brown sugar and margarine in large ovenproof skillet over medium heat until margarine melts, sugar dissolves and mixture comes to boil. Boil 1 minute, whisking constantly. Remove from heat. Arrange apples, rounded side down, in syrup. Bake 15 minutes, turn over. Bake until just tender, about 20 minutes longer. Transfer apples to paper towels to cool slightly. Whisk syrup in skillet, until smooth. Cool slightly and reserve. Maintain oven temperature.
Mix sugar, flour, and salt in small bowl. Place eggs in medium bowl. Gradually whisk in reserved syrup from apples. Add corn syrup, vanilla, and sugar mixture, whisk until smooth. Stir in pecans. Pour filling into crust, arrange apples, rounded side up, atop filling.

Spring is finally here! You're not about to start over with your fitness at square one like last year. You've set yourself up for success by training all winter long on your Vision Fitness treadmill. Today is the day you are going to go outside and test your winter training. Fast forward one hour later – you may not have done as well as you thought. And your legs ache? You've run more miles on than this on the treadmill, so what is wrong?
First of all, do not be discouraged. The smooth cushioned surface of the running deck on a Vision treadmill is actually easier on your joints than running on outside terrain. Although we strive for optimal comfort, we understand you may not be doing all of your running indoors, so with our treadmills, we try and keep realistic design and functionality in mind.
Our deck itself is a firm piece of wood, offering you support, while our deck cushioning where the deck attaches to the frame gives you a softer cushioning that transitions with you with each stride. The deck cushioning on our treadmills is designed to absorb the impact of your foot planting at the front of the deck, and increases in firmness as your stride carries through to push off into the next stride. If you think of how running shoes are designed, it is a similar concept, simulated to give you a comfortable, natural feel.
Some other companies use a flexible deck, which is like a springboard. Running on a trampoline does not compare to running outside, so why do it? Keep it realistic with our Vision Fitness treadmills and our variable cushioning. An active and healthy lifestyle is something you will never regret! Let us help you set yourself up for success and year round fitness with our comfortably realistic treadmills.

Companies, Activists Declare Truce in Boardroom Battles
Corporate Executives, Directors Find It Cheaper to Negotiate Than Fight
Activist investors are increasingly encountering an unusual reception when approaching corporate targets: an open door.
Instead of pulling up the drawbridge as activists approach, corporate executives and directors more often are engaging, concluding that it is easier and cheaper to negotiate rather than resist and risk a public fight, advisers and executives said.

Following the collapse of a minaret in the World Heritage city of Meknes, Director-General Irina Bokova expressed profound sympathy Sunday and said UNESCO's expertise was available to the Moroccan authorities in their restoration efforts.
"I am deeply saddened by the tragic loss of life of people who had gathered to worship at the mosque. I extend to the families of the victims my deepest sympathy and that of the entire Organization," she said.
"As immediately indicated by His Majesty the King, this fatality will be responded to with a review of the condition of Morocco's ancient mosques. UNESCO supports the prompt measures taken by the Kingdom of Morocco to restore the damage and to prevent further risks in this and other sites, and offers its collaboration in the inventory and analysis of sites that have been planned," she added.
UNESCO is ready to mobilize international experts to help speed up the diagnostic process and is already in contact with the Moroccan Authorities to jointly define the initial and most urgent steps. The ancient city of Meknes, founded in the 11th century, was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1996.

Don't miss a single recipe or gorgeous table setting idea!
Subscribe Now!
If you're in need of new dinner menu idea, look no further than a classic quesadilla! Perfect for entertaining or a weeknight kid- friendly dinnner!
I used corn tortillas, replaced the typical ground beef with fat free refried beans, and featured creamy avocados instead of cheese and sour cream, so this party pleaser is healthy, light (less than 80 calories per quarter!), kosher parve, vegan, and gluten free. Not to mention, the triangle shape makes for easy snacking, as well as a festive touch for any get together.
What you'll need for a dozen quesadilla wedges:
* If you're vegan, be sure to check your refried beans. Some have added sugar.
– 6 organic corn tortillas
– 3/4 cups fat free refried beans
– 1 tablespoon hot sauce or ground chiles
– 1/2 fresh avocado, diced
– 1/2 large tomato, seeds removed, diced
– 1/4 white onion, diced finely
– 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
In a small bowl, combine beans and hot sauce or chiles.
On half the corn tortillas, spread 1/4 cup refried beans on each. Place a second tortilla on top of each and press down slightly. You can always use more if 1/4 cup is too scant for your taste. There's no such thing as too much deliciousness.
You'll have three whole quesadillas now. In a large skillet, panfry each quesadilla over medium-high heat. You don't need to use oil, but a bit of nonstick spray will help to make the edges nice and crisp.
When the quesadillas are golden and crispy, cut each into quarters and set aside. You'll have 12 wedges.
In a medium bowl, toss together your tomato, avocado, onion, and lime juice. Spoon over the top of your warm quesadilla wedges and serve immediately!
You can always add shredded purple cabbage for more color, or a bit of greek yogurt if you don't mind dairy, or plain soy yogurt to keep them parve.
Enjoy, and happy eating!

Anritsu Co. introduces the VectorStar™ Broadband ME7828A vector network analyzer system that produces industry-best dynamic range, measurement speed, and calibration and measurement stability over the broadest frequency range of 70 kHz to 110 GHz. The performance and frequency coverage provide designers and manufacturers of microwave/millimeter-wave components and devices with a single system to accurately and quickly measure devices from DC to daylight.
Engineers performing device modeling and characterization must measure across the widest frequency range possible for optimum model accuracy. During the design phase, they must constantly re-verify their device models through measurement verification. Confirming DC performance at higher frequencies is equally important. Traditionally, users have been constrained by the poor performance of microwave VNAs below 500 MHz, as signal-to-noise ratio diminishes below 500 MHz due to microwave coupler roll-off. The result has been a significant weakness in device models at the low end.
Previously, the only solution was to re-measure the device on a separate low-frequency system that has resulted in large concatenation errors. Due to VectorStar's 70 kHz low-end frequency, it is possible to accurately measure devices starting at 70 kHz for DC information and up to 110 GHz for capturing all the performance of the device at multiple fundamental harmonics.
The incorporation of VectorStar produces other performance advantages, including dynamic range improvements of up to 30 dB compared to previous systems. The ME7828A also incorporates the fast switching speed of Anritsu's MG37022A sources to produce a sweep speed of 120 ms for 201 points, and up to four times faster than leading competitive instruments. Combining the broadest frequency range with 100,000 points in a single channel, the ME7828A provides the most complete time domain analysis capability presently on the market.
On-wafer environments require measurement stability because the process of re-calibration is very time consuming and expensive. The ME7828A delivers industry-best calibration and measurement stability, typically 0.1 dB over a 24-hour period.
Two configurations are available. The standard ME7828A provides basic measurement capabilities for active device testing. The ME7828A-012 delivers additional optimal performance for active device testing, time domain analysis and device characterization. Both configurations are compatible with existing SUSS and Cascade probe stations and appropriate positioners.
The ME7828A system can be configured with a full range of banded millimeter-wave modules that extend the frequency range to 500 GHz. A variable attenuator in the millimeter band modules for both configurations allows matching power of the two bands for a smooth transition when measuring active devices in the forward and reverse directions.
Kelvin bias tees are designed into the multiplexing combiner modules in both configurations. The Kelvin bias tees provide sense and force capabilities, and are positioned close to the device under test (DUT) for optimum performance and sensitivity. The result is a significant reduction in IR losses compared to bias sourcing from inside the test set. In addition, the sensing circuit continuously monitors the bias conditions at the DUT and provides feedback corrections to the Source Monitor Unit (SMU) bias supply equipment, as needed.
Anritsu developed the ME7828A for designers and manufacturers of microwave/millimeter-wave components and devices, especially where broadband measurements are needed for accurate device modeling and circuit simulation. Broadband devices are integral to designs used in emerging 60 GHz Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN), optical networks operating at 40 Gbps and faster, 77 GHz automobile radar, digital radio links, and 94 GHz used for imaging millimeter-wave radar in astronomy, defense and Homeland Security applications.
US pricing is $393,470 for the ME7828A and $431,550 for the ME7828-012. Delivery is 12 weeks ARO.
