Actress Zooey Deschanel has moved on from her broken marriage and has reportedly started dating "Dear John" screenwriter Jamie Linden.
The "New Girl" star split from Death Cab For Cutie front man Ben Gibbard in October, and she filed for divorce in December, citing "irreconcilable differences" for ending her two-year marriage.
But Deschanel's love life is now looking up. She stepped out with Linden for the first time on Sunday as they attended a Hollywood after party for Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey's new movie, "Magic Mike," according to UsMagazine.com.
A source tells the publication, "Jamie's a really nice guy. He's funny, and a little geeky … He's into her!"
The actress previously admitted she wasn't ready to step back into the dating game, telling Marie Claire magazine
earlier this year, "Honestly, I'm just going through a divorce, so I don't really think (dating) is something I want to get into now. … I don't have time to date. I literally don't have time."

choweAnyone used Network Solutions for a Web hosting provider? Would you recommend them?
Never would I recommend them... the customer service was dreadful and they were hacked and took DAYS to take our website down and solve the problem.
I've had good experience with MacHighway, though there are two possible downsides:
a) If you are not a techie, their customer service might not be cushy enough for you. and
b) A friend who also used them said their email service to the iphone is not working. I, on the other hand, have had no problems with it (imap).
The same friend strongly recommends Rackspace as well.
Snap Web Solutions is really a good web hosting provider. It is a full-service professional web outsourcing firm that caters to the online business needs of small business owners and entrepreneurs.

I have had tremendous success using www.1and1.com. Their prices are decent, and you get tons of reporting services with your hosting and your domain name, etc.
I agree...Network Solutions is not user friendly and very expensive.
I use hostexcellence.com for several web sites that I manage. Their cost is $3.95 per month, and best of all, they have live tech support.
Actually I'm wondering if anyone has a need for pci compliant hosting? The company I work for has been using We Do Hosting and they seem to be pretty good so far they're working out pretty well. Just a heads up if that's what you're looking for.
Just had a nightmare experience with Network Solutions. Deleted 3 years of emails during a server upgrade, can't restore them. Yes, this is also a lesson learned about backup but still, such a large company to be so negligent is really distressing. Tech support has been horrible. Every time I call I'm on hold for 20 minutes and two out of five times this week after holding for 20 minutes I was disconnected. Inadequate backup/recovery and horrific "customer support." I am looking for a new host.
Clarification: THEY deleted the emails, I didn't. What a lousy deal!

On 3rd October this year a boat caught fire and capsized. On board were more than 500 Eritrean men, women and children. 155 people survived. While this disaster has grabbed media attention across the world, it is only one of many such stories over recent years. Lampedusa has become the landing point for thousands of migrants seeking to enter Europe. The Italians islanders stand out as compassionate and caring towards the boatloads of new arrivals. They seem to understand that these people arrive on the shores seeking a better life than the ones they left behind. That approach stands in stark contrast with the rhetoric across much of the Global North.
The issue of migrants, particularly irregular migrants, increasingly dominates our newspapers and politics. No one knows whether irregular migration is increasing or decreasing. Unsurprisingly, we have no statistics on the actual numbers of people who cross borders in irregular ways. Yet the prominence of the topic in daily life might make one think that a tidal wave of irregular migrants has arrived in Europe. And that rhetoric increasingly dehumanises irregular migrants. This increased and increasingly-negative attention might be owing to financial pressures – history shows us that with recessions and depressions comes the rise of nationalism and xenophobia. It may be based on security concerns and the global threat of terrorism. Regardless of its basis, the result is a general failure to acknowledge let alone uphold the human rights of migrants.
Human rights, like Ronseal, are exactly what they say on the tin. The rights are held by all individuals by virtue of them being human. A person does not lose his status as a human simply because s/he is an irregular migrant. Crossing a border in contravention of a law does not dehumanise an individual. Yet the total disregard that Global North countries have for the rights of irregular migrants undermines the central notion of human rights.
If we examine the resources devoted to securitising the issue of migration, we can see that significant time and money is used for activities that abuse the human rights of migrants. Detention without charge; lack of access to justice; failure to ensure adequate housing, food and healthcare; failure to ensure that children receive education are just some of the systematic violations that occur across Europe, Australia, and North America. Headline news is made where a migrant dies during deportation, as occurred with Mr Jimmy Mubenga in 2010. Occasionally investigative journalism focuses on Yarls Wood, or other similar detention centres abroad. But the daily systematic violations are swept under the carpet.
Efforts are being made at the international level to protect and promote the human rights of migrants.
In 1990, the General Assembly adopted the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families. The central feature of the Convention on Human Rights of Migrants is to protect all migrant workers and their families irrespective of their legal status. 46 countries have ratified the Convention. This falls far below the 120 states 'for which migration is an important feature, either as origin, transit or destination countries'. None of the states from the West or from the rising global power of BRIC – Brazil, Russia, India and China – have signed or ratified the Convention. Without those heavyweights, politically and economically, the treaty largely has failed to get off the ground. Over 20 years after its creation, the Convention is spluttering along. The countries that most need to be bound to protect the rights of migrants are the ones that are studiously avoiding signing up to its provisions.
States from the Global North are the leaders in the human rights game. They control the money and resources, and therefore hold the power. Typically, they have been at the fore of developing, promoting and protecting human rights. It seems strange, to say the least, that those same countries refuse to ratify the Convention on human rights of migrants. But remember that those countries are the most affected by migration, not just in terms of the numbers of people seeking to enter their territories but also by the political implications of being seen to be 'soft' on that issue.
There is a structural deficit of electoral democracies where it comes to migration. Irregular migrants do not have a vote. Politicians in electoral democracies require votes to be re-elected. Focusing efforts on a vulnerable group that do not have the right to vote, and who cannot mobilise to form pressure groups or to place pressure on the government, is political suicide. Politicians know that by speaking out on behalf of migrants, let alone seeking to change the laws on migration, they will place their own careers on the line.
But it is not all doom and gloom. At least these issues are now being discussed. Great efforts have been made by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights of Migrants. Mr Francois Crepeau has sought to focus global attention on Europe and migrants' rights. He reported on that region last year, with a particular focus on Italy and Greece as the first port of call for many migrants entering Europe from North Africa. Crepeau's recommendations have been discussed widely at the highest levels. Media attention on Lampedusa and other horrific tragedies helps increase the pressure on Global North countries. It is only when those states start seeing irregular migrants as humans rather than security concerns, protecting their rights will always be the lowest priority and tragedies will continue to occur.

The newly merged Office Depot-OfficeMax corporation has decided that the OfficeMax store on East Eisenhower Boulevard isn't necessary. The store will close May 31.
"Closing Sale — Nothing Held Back" signs went up at the 15-year-old office-supply store March 24, with everything in the store marked down.
Julianne Carelli, a spokeswoman at Office Depot headquarters in Boca Raton, Fla., said after the closure at the end of the day May 31, the company will serve its customers at the Loveland Office Depot store at 277 E. 29th St. or online at officedepot.com.
Office-supply stores across the country have been struggling with recession-induced spending cutbacks by business consumers and increased competition from online sellers.
In response, the two chains merged in November 2013 and have been tightening their belts. The new company, under the Office Depot name, has started closing both Office Depot and OfficeMax stores and reportedly plans to close the OfficeMax headquarters in the Chicago area next year.
Carelli didn't provide specific reasons for the Loveland store's closing.
"We continually evaluate our retail real estate options and opportunities," she wrote in an email. "With three-quarters of Office Dept retail store leases due to expire over the next five years, we are conducting a holistic market re-evaluation process of our stores throughout the chain."
She didn't say how many workers would be out of a job at the Loveland site but said the company will provide severance packages and outplacement services to eligible employees.
"Also, we work with our associates to identify open opportunities in our neighboring stores or in other areas within the company," she wrote.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infection. TB may be either active or latent. Latent forms can stay in your body and not make you sick. Latent TB may become active if you are ill, have a weakened immune system, or for no known reason.
TB infection most is most common in the lungs, but it can occur in other places in the body.
TB is a highly contagious disease caused by a specific bacteria. It is transmitted by air from one person to another. This can happen during coughing, sneezing, or talking. Once airborne, the bacteria can be breathed in by other people causing exposure or active infection. You can only pass the infection to other people if you have active TB.
is inhaled through the mouth and nose and travels down into the lungs causing TB.

Infants, young children, and older adults are more susceptible to TB.
Factors that may increase your chance of TB exposure include:
Factors that increase your chance of getting active TB after exposure:
Latent TB does not cause symptoms. When symptoms appear, the disease becomes active. Active TB may cause:
Active or latent TB may be found during a routine check-up.You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history, including if you think you were exposed to TB. A physical exam will be done. Tests that can detect the disease include:
If you have symptoms that indicate active TB, your doctor may do the following tests:
Medication can keep TB from becoming active. It can also help cure active TB. It is important that you take all the medication exactly as prescribed. Take all the medication, even if the symptoms go away. If you do not finish your medication, you may relapse or develop drug-resistant TB. This form is very difficult to cure.
Inactive (latent) TB will have a positive skin test but you will have no symptoms. You will need to take medication to prevent active TB. You may need to take this medication for a 3-9 month period. Again, it is important to take all the medication as recommended to prevent drug-resistant TB.
You will be given a combination of drugs. Continue with medication until your doctor tells you to stop. Treatment for active TB typically lasts 6 months or longer.
You will need to take special steps to prevent spreading TB to others. You may be asked to stay home or stay away from crowded public places. Make sure to cover your mouth whenever you cough. You can resume your normal activities after your doctor says that you are no longer infectious.
To help reduce your chance of TB exposure, take these steps:
If you have been exposed to TB, take these steps to prevent it from becoming active:
If you have active TB, take these steps to protect others from infection:

Islam Needs to Be Challenged by True Democracy
By Lee Jay Walker
Tokyo Correspondent – THE SEOUL TIMES
|Islamists pray at a mosque in Seoul.
In the distant past major democratic nations could blame the Cold War for supporting despots like Suharto in Indonesia and authoritarian nations like Saudi Arabia and a host of other nations. However, after the demise of the Cold War many people had genuine hope that a New World Order would arise from the ashes of political and ideological divisions. Therefore, democracy "in your own backyard" is no longer good enough because it leads to mass hypocrisy.
After all, is it right to lambast North Korea but remain quiet about Saudi Arabia? Let us be frank, when the President of America, Obama, visited Saudi Arabia then all his human rights credentials "were thrown out of the window." For females and non-Muslims suffer greatly in Saudi Arabia and the same applies to the minority Shia Muslim community which suffers so greatly.
So how can Obama lambast North Korea but remain silent about Saudi Arabia? From a female point of view, then women in North Korea have much more rights than they do in Saudi Arabia. Also, the vast majority of people who were responsible for September 11th were Saudi nationals, and of course not one single North Korean was involved. Yet sadly "oil politics" does get in the way and this is the problem, either you have a consistent policy or you should remain quiet.
For North Korea, unlike Saudi Arabia, is a victim of outside nations because "old" Korea was a victim of Japanese imperialism and brutality, and then global power politics helped to divide the Korean peninsula. More recently, America remains firmly entrenched in South Korea and sadly both Korea's have been victims of past outside history. However, can Saudi Arabia claim the same divisions of society on outside powers to the same extent? Obviously not, but despite this Saudi Arabia can get away with anything, including not building one single Christian church or Hindu temple to serve the migrant population.
More recently, we had President Obama making an emotional plea towards the so-called Muslim world but look at the two nations he decided to launch this fresh agenda. Yes, he went to Saudi Arabia, the land that kills all converts from Islam to Christianity and where Saudi women face severe restrictions. Then he gave his lecture in Egypt, a land where Coptic Christians suffer persecution and where the same leader governs with an "iron fist" year after year. So once more, democracy, religious liberty, equality, and so forth, is "thrown out of the window" and "democracy is on a backburner."
The "New World Order" was meant to usher in a new period whereby communism was defeated and "the march of democracy" was going to flourish. However, the "New World Order" never got started because capitalist nations still desire to trade with important nations like China and Saudi Arabia, and a host of others, which are undemocratic.
However, in China it is clear that greater freedom is happening and this nation is opening-up because commerce and trade is deemed to be more important than a rigid ideology. So the China of Mao Zedong is long gone and the current leaders of the Chinese Communist Party are very mild when compared with past leaders in the 1950s and 1960s.
Yet when we focus on mainly Muslim nations, the picture is very different because unlike China, opening up is not on the agenda when it comes to greater freedom. Yes, you have some mainly Muslim nations which are democratic, for example Indonesia, Malaysia, Senegal, and Turkey. However, in Turkey you have the Kurdish issue and marginalization of religious minorities and in Indonesia you have Christian-Muslim tensions in parts of this nation and West Papua suffers greatly.
Despite this, you have many positives within the above mentioned nations yet sadly, when we look at the "bigger picture" then it is clear that religious minorities see little in the way of "true democracy." After all, if a Muslim converts to Christianity, Buddhism, or any other faith, in Afghanistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, and some other nations, then this crime is punishable by death.
Meanwhile, in nations like Bangladesh the mainly Buddhist tribals (some are Hindu or Christian) suffer enormous persecution and the same applies to Hindus within Bangladesh. In Pakistan, all minorities suffer at the hands of radical Sunni Muslim zealots and in so-called moderate nations like Egypt, it is clear that you have many anti-Christian laws when it comes to equality.
Also, thousands of women, and the numbers could be in the tens of thousands, are killed in the name of so-called honour every year. These so-called honour-killings mainly go unpunished or very light sentences are given. Therefore, it is clear that women suffer at the hands of conservative Islam and honour killings have now began to happen in Western nations by migrants who have maintained this barbaric tradition. Other non-Muslim societies are also blighted by this terrible crime against humanity, however, it is clear that in parts of the Middle East and other areas like Pakistan, that this problem is severe and for the majority of Islamic clerics they appear to be silent about this real and tragic issue.
So today we have a new leader in America who "is bending over backwards" to accommodate mainly Muslim nations. However, what about the rights of Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, women, Muslim minorities, secularists, socialists, and others, who suffer in so many mainly Muslim nations? How can change happen when no constraints are put on trade or via major international institutions?
Democracy in your own nation is fine, providing you do not try to lecture other nations about the virtue of democracy and providing you state clearly that the human rights of others do not count. Yet nations like America and the United Kingdom use "democracy" to bash North Korea but remain quiet when it comes to Saudi Arabia. This dual policy is sickening and based on "power politics" and self-interests.
Given this, democracy, religious freedom, gender equality and universal rights, are being hindered so conservative Islam can keep on persecuting their respective dhimmi communities. Therefore, the House of Islam is free to spread radical Islam while at the same time Islam can persecute and kill non-Muslims or Muslim minorities in Afghanistan, Algeria, Bangladesh, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, and other nations.
Therefore, I am ashamed by democratic nations which do not give two hoots about the rights of others in distant lands. Yet, the same democratic nations will use the "democratic card" to lambast weak nations like North Korea. So clearly America, the United Kingdom, and many other democracies, only use the democratic issue when it suits them but just like radical Islam, you can not switch democracy on or off.
So why is it correct to have democratic freedoms in Western societies and gender equality in Western law, when this criterion is not applied to other nations? Is this really what democracy means in America, the United Kingdom, and other nations?
The answer at the moment to this is clearly "yes." And I am ashamed of such blatant "double standards" and surely human rights must be a universal right. What makes the situation even worse is that Western trade in nations like Saudi Arabia is vital for their economy and Western nations do have economic and political leverages at their disposal.
For example nations who welcome democracy, gender equality, religious freedom, and so on, should be brought into economic blocs and trade should be focused on these nations. In time both economic and political incentives will encourage greater democratization and this will help internal democratic movements or mere demands for greater human rights.
Of course I am not stating that this policy will work in every nation, or that it will eradicate all global problems in the world. Yet a "first step" needs to be taken and it is clear that this "step" must focus on the Islamic world in the main and other mainly non-Muslim nations like Myanmar which use persecution.
This may seem idealistic, and of course much research must be done to implement global policies with regards to economic blocs like the European Union and the North American Free Trade Agreement, and other important institutions, like the International Monetary Fund. Yet a policy of greater democratization needs to be implemented and a "New World Order" needs to begin.
Look at the consequences if this is not implemented. This applies to massive poverty, gender persecution, religious persecution, migration, civil wars, regional conflicts, terrorism, and countless other negative problems. Also, this upheaval does not only apply to far away lands, but to all nations, for September 11 proves that world problems are indeed great.
More important, isn't democracy hollow if it only applies to internal democracy? For why should children, women, religious minorities, and so on, continue to suffer due to Western nations "turning a blind eye?" Surely democracy and universal human rights are more important than trade? So let us hope that political leaders will understand the need to change direction.
If not, then it is essential for voices which are"crying to be heard" in nations like Saudi Arabia to be met with genuine concerns in the West and not based on an economic agenda. If this means that lay people have to call for these demands, then get writing or demonstrating. For "silence" kills and allows persecution to continue.
The world now needs a "New World Order" based on democracy, liberty, freedom, religious freedom, gender equality, and so on. For don't our fellow humans deserve equality in nations Saudi Arabia and any undemocratic nation, irrespective if they are mainly Muslim, mainly Buddhist, mainly Christian, or whatever? And isn't democracy tainted when democratic nations openly trade with Saudi Arabia and countless other despotic nations?
Therefore, it is essential that the Obama way, the way of pandering and appeasement, is challenged because the global reality in many mainly Muslim nations is one of persecution or alienation, or both. Senegal, and a few others, are rare democratic nations within the Muslim dominated bloc, therefore, true democracy needs to challenge nations like Saudi Arabia but will this ever happen?

Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children is one of the only pediatric hospitals in the country to offer a MAP Program. It's staffed by expert specialists who treat the complex needs of children with genetic syndromes associated with an important process in the body called the "Ras/MAPK signaling pathway" (short for "mitogen activated protein kinases").
The body is made up of cells, which carry instructions, of sorts, that tell them how to grow and act. These instructions are called "genes." The genetic syndromes associated with Ras/MAPK can affect the way a child's organs were formed, the way kids look, the way they grow, and the way they learn.
The following genetic syndromes are all caused by changes in genes that affect the Ras/MAPK signaling pathway. And they're all part of our comprehensive MAP Program care:
- Cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (CFC)
- Costello syndrome

NEWTON, Mass. (10/29/13) – (taken from the Lasell presse release) The Lasell College women's volleyball team fell to visiting Brandeis University 3-1 on Tuesday evening by scores of 25-23, 25-17, 22-25 and 25-18. The Lasers dropped to 16-12 on the season with the loss, while Brandeis earned their 10th win of the campaign to snap a losing streak and improve to 10-20.
The back-and-forth opening set was tied for at 21-21 before junior Liz Hood (Albuquerque, N.M./Albuquerque Acad.) notched four kills in the final six points to deliver the first set victory for Brandeis. Lasell ran out to a 7-2 lead early in the second set but Brandeis ground their way back into set at 12-12 and then scored 10 of the next 12 points to build a 22-14 lead, closing out the set with a 25-17 victory.
Lasell built another lead in the third set going in front 19-10 and this time holding off a late Brandeis charge to grab the set at 25-22 and make it a 2-1 match heading into the fourth set. Brandeis opened up a 13-8 lead in the third set and never let Lasell closer than five points the rest of the way to capture the fourth set 25-18 and close out the match.
Hood led the way for Brandeis with a match-high 13 kills. Senior Si-Si Hensley (Fullerton, Calif./Troy) added nine kills, while rookie Rachel Dye (Broomfield, Colo./Broomfield) and junior Carly Gunter-Davis (Del Mar, Calif./Canyon Crest Acad.) chipped in with seven kills apiece. Sophomore Amaris Brown (Brooklyn, N.Y./Brooklyn Friends) finished with a match-high 25 digs and senior Yael Einhorn (Cherry Hill, N.J./Cherry Hill East) directed the Judges attack collecting with 34 assists.
Sharisse Scott-Rawlins (Brockton, Mass.) paced the Lasers with 11 kills, while Abigail Rollins (N. Caldwell, N.J.) and Kathy Cameron (Boston, Mass.) each finished with nine kills in the match. Rollins added 18 digs on the night while Scott-Rawlins contributed 17 digs. Jordan Seid (Rowland Hts., Calif.) posted a team-high 19 digs while Alyssa Nahigian (Coventry, R.I.) tallied a team-best 30 assists.
The Judges will host a non-conference tri-match on Saturday with Endicott College and Connecticut College, playing at 12:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. The Judges will honor graduating seniors Einhorn and Hensley with a ceremony prior to the 4:00 p.m. match.

It is coming to fists again over the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. This time, however, it isn't the people of the gulf against big oil, it is the oil companies against each other. BP is accusing Halliburton of knowingly destroying the results from a test on cement slurry at the site and seemingly losing computer modeling of the cement at the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Both are considered pieces of evidence that could prove Halliburton installed faulty cement at the site of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, causing the well to rupture and spill 4.9 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
Quoting from court documents that were obtained in New Orleans, CNN reports, "Halliburton's refusal has been unwavering, despite repeated BP discovery requests and a specific order from this Court." The documents go on to report the missing slurry testing and computer modeling, adding, "more egregious still, Halliburton intentionally destroyed the evidence related to its non-privileged cement testing, in part because it wanted to eliminate any risk that this evidence would be used against it at trial."
Neither BP nor Halliburton spokespeople are discussing the issue in depth with reporters but a Halliburton spokesperson told CNN that the allegations were "without merit." At the time of the oil spill BP was leasing the rig from Transocean and therefore was responsible for operating the rig and anything that went wrong during that process. BP has spent an estimated $40.7 billion on the clean up of the spill. After the catastrophe the US government cited Halliburton, Transocean and BP an action that should eventually lead to huge fines for all three companies. If it is proven in court that Halliburton's poor cement installation was the cause of the spill, the other companies could possibly see their fines reduced and Halliburton's expanded.

Just as the Department of Health and Human Services hit a rough patch this week with a court ruling that could unravel Obamacare, HHS officials released a barrage of statistics early Thursday that it hopes will paint the massive health-insurance program in a more complimentary light.
One of the more compelling claims made was HHS Secretary Sylvia Burwell's contention that consumers have saved $9 billion on health-insurance premiums since 2011 because of the Affordable Care Act, with $3.8 billion in savings up front on premiums last year. That's partly due to a requirement that insurance companies spend at least 80% of premium dollars on patient care and quality improvements.
That requirement was the center of the other bit of news HHS officials had. The agency said 6.8 million consumers nationwide will receive a total of $332.2 million in refunds due to over-billing by insurers whose expenditures on health care did not rise above the 80% level. The total amounts to roughly $80 on average.
HHS also released a list of the insurance companies and how much they will have to pay in excessive premium charges, due to the so-called 80-20 rule. At first glance, it appears the bigger players will pay out more, with Blue Cross/Blue Shield of South Carolina setting the apparent record, giving back $6.5 million in all to individual and small group plans. UnitedHealth Group Inc.'s apparently will shell out $5.5 million for small-group and large-group plans in Oklahoma.
One surprising stat is that the state where the largest chunk of refunds will be made isn't New York or California. It's Florida, by far. Insurers in the Sunshine State are giving back $41.7 million, more than double that of second-place Maryland's $17.3 million.
Finally, the department is pointing to a study released late Wednesday by the New England Journal of Medicine that says the percentage of adults that were uninsured declined by roughly a fifth when Obamacare enrollment closed at the end of March. The percentage of uninsured ages 18-64 dropped to 16.3% from 21% in September 2013, just before implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
The medical journal estimates that corresponds to roughly 10.3 million adults gaining coverage either through purchasing Obamacare plans or being added to Medicaid rolls, although that number could range anywhere from 7.3 million to 17.2 million adults.
An appeals court ruling in the District of Columbia Tuesday put a chilling effect on Obamacare. Two Republican-appointed judges determined that wording in the ACA precludes the 34 states that operate under the federal government's HealthCare.gov exchange from offering subsidies. If the ruling stands, it could unravel much of the program as unaffordability will relieve insurance mandates for many of those in the program.

i18n_emails 0.1.0
I18nEmails makes it easy to create and maintain I18n emails in Rails apps. Using I18n in large Rails apps often results in large and incomprehensible translation files. The idea of splitting up concerns should also apply to translations files and emails in particular and that is why this gem was created. I18nEmails allows you to create separate translation files for each email (.email) and store them in a nested folder structure mirroring a translation file, for example: config/locales/en/notifier/forgotten_password.email. The email body content in a .email file is also more readable for both developer and non-technical people then a YAML file.

Deep Earth Research Shows Earthquake Zone Extends Farther Inland, Aug. 13, 2008
by Thomas Guengerich
SOCORRO, N.M., Aug. 14, 2008 – New Mexico Tech geophysics professor Dr. Glenn Spinelli has discovered that the area where earthquakes may occur off the coast of Washington and Oregon probably extends further inland than previously believed.
Right: New Mexico Tech professor Glenn Spinelli attaches temperature loggers to a sediment corer on a research cruise off the western coast of Coast Rica. Spinelli gathered temperature measurements that will help determine the extent of earthquake-prone areas in coastal regions.
His research could impact estimates of the hazard due to ground shaking, and therefore earthquake preparedness plans for the cities of Seattle and Portland – and similar locations around the Pacific, where one tectonic plate moves under another.
Spinelli is combining marine geology research off the coasts of Japan and Costa Rica to estimate the extent of the area capable of producing earthquakes in subduction zones. His studies off the coast of Costa Rica will soon be published in the prestigious journal Nature Geoscience. Another paper by Spinelli – based on his research off the coast of Japan – will be published in an upcoming edition of the journal Geology. The Tech professor has also been invited to be guest lecturer by the Consortium for Ocean Leadership for its Integrated Ocean Drilling Program.
Spinelli is studying deep earth temperatures to estimate the potential rupture area of future earthquakes. Seismologists widely believe that earthquakes in subduction zones occur in the region where temperatures are between 150° and 350°C (300° to 650° F). Spinelli's research shows that water rapidly circulating in an aquifer in seafloor rocks moves a tremendous amount of heat in subduction zones and affects where those key temperatures for earthquake generation occur – they are much further landward than previously thought.
His studies focus on water flowing through large areas of rock below the ocean floor. Much of that rock is basalt – lava that erupted on the seafloor at mid-ocean ridges, cooled fast and cracked. The numerous cracks in the basalt are pathways for water to rapidly flow through the rock. Water flowing through the basalt formations moves heat out of subduction zones.
"The important implication relates to seismic hazards," he said. "The 350 degree boundary is shifted landward. Based on our research in Japan, we believe the 350 degree boundary moves from 50 to 100 kilometers further inland than previously thought."
In the subduction zone off Japan, that heat transfer cools the underground rock, thus shifting the area where earthquakes can be generated more than 50 kilometers (30 miles) farther landward, and closer to coastal cities, than previously believed.
"We're trying to understand the plumbing of the largest aquifer on Earth," Spinelli said. "Water is redistributing the heat from deep in the subduction zone."
In Spinelli's marine geology research, he and his fellow researchers sank specialized thermometers into the sediment at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. There, they systematically gathered temperature readings from sediment at varying distances from basaltic seamounts where seawater enters or leaves the aquifer below the seafloor.
Sea water that is about 2 degrees C enters the basaltic formation at one mound, travels underground to another mound. While flowing through the basalt, the water is heated up to 40 °C, thus transferring heat from the Earth to the water.
"We know the Earth is cooling," Spinelli said. "However, it's happening differently than you might expect. Water moving through the basaltic formations is a really efficient and effective heat transfer mechanism."
Spinelli's the next phase of research is to examine heat-transfer offshore the Pacific Northwest to determine the eastern boundary of the seismic zone, which may result in a re-evaluation of the seismic hazard for the greater Seattle metropolitan area.
New Mexico Tech is a state-funded four-year research university in Socorro that is a leading educator of scientists and engineers.

My 3rd great grandfather, Charles Francois Xavier Voiland, emigrated to the United States from Essert, France. He, his wife Adelaide (Perrin), and 5 of their children arrived at Castle Garden, on board the William Tell, on December 3rd, 1857. Charles' name has also appeared in family records as Jean Baptiste Voiland. It seams that he used both names.
I'm trying to find out where Charles and his family eventually settled. I believe they initially made their way to Buffalo, NY. Daughters Celia, Philomene, Adel and Magdalena are listed in the 1860 Census as living in Buffalo. Another daughter, Julia, is listed in the 1879 Buffalo Census. I can't find Charles in the Buffalo census.
I do believe that Charles (Jean Baptiste) and Adelaide came to, and lived in, Wisconsin. There is a John and Adiel Welling in the 1870 US Census for Royalton, Waupaca Co., WI. I believe that this may be Charles and Adelaide. They are living next door to Magdalena (Voiland) Roman, who would be their daughter. The name "John" is the English spelling of "Jean". The ages listed also make sense with the birth dates I have for them.
Most of the Voiland family changed their names to "Weller". Charles' son Joseph went by the names of Joseph Voiland and Joseph Weller. I can imagine a census taker trying to decipher a Frenchman pronouncing Voiland or Weller.
So, if John and Adiel Weller are indeed Charles (Jean) and Adelaide Voiland, what happened to them? I wonder when they died and where they are buried. Magdalena, and her brother, Joseph, who also lived in the area, are both buried in nearby Manawa. I haven't found a record of Charles and Adelaide there or anywhere else in the area.

How to Accept a Sports Anesthetic Doctor
There are lot of humans who do not accede visiting a sports anesthetic doctor and if they wish to appointment it is actual important to acquisition and accept the best doctor. If you accept a doctor who is accessible it is not actual harder to find, and this will aswell assure you that you will get the able treatments and remedies for your problems.

Dispensary staffs should aswell be friendly, affable and able and that they should aswell accomplish you feel accustomed whether you are artlessly calling for analysis or accomplish a appointment at the clinic. Whether you are in a bad affection afore advancing to the clinic, but if the agents are actual affable and all-around this changes your affection entirely, so consistently accomplish a astute choice.
Consistently analysis the area There is no charge for you to drive continued hours just to acquisition a sports anesthetic doctor as there are aswell acceptable doctors that you will acquisition aural abutting adjacency to your home, appointment or academy and this is the acumen why you consistently accept to analysis the area of the clinic. After a continued day at plan or academy and you bare to appointment your sports anesthetic doctor, again area is actual important.
There are time if sports injuries requires added advice than that of a approved sports anesthetic doctor will be able to provide, this is the acumen why it is aswell important that you accept what they are alms as able-bodied as area you charge to biking for you to get the appropriate account for you.
If you do not accept insurance, you again accept to accede the costs. Even if you accept insurance, it is still important that you accept the appropriate doctor. If you do not accept the appropriate doctor, you ability be active on some big-ticket bills. It is important for you to accept that not all doctors who are big-ticket are actual acceptable at what they do.

Title: Chinas Space Program: An Overview
CRS report number: RS21641
Author(s): Marcia S. Smith, Resources, Science, and Industry Division
Date: January 31, 2006
- Abstract
- The People's Republic of China successfully completed its second human spaceflight mission on October 17, 2005. China is only the third country, after Russia and the United States, able to launch people into space. Its first human spaceflight was in 2003 when a single astronaut, or "taikonaut," made a flight lasting slightly less than a day. The 2005 flight lasted five days, and involved two taikonauts. As the United States embarks upon President Bush's "Vision for Space Exploration" to return astronauts to the Moon by 2020 and someday send them to Mars, some may view China's entrance into the human exploration of space as a competitive threat, while others may view China as a potential partner.

At at time when plenty of teams seem to be unable or unwilling to spot concussions until the game in which the injury was sustained is over, the Giants are in the small minority of teams that take extra steps to identify whether a player needs to be evaluated after taking a blow to the head.
"[T]he athletic trainers are spread out over the field, the doctors are spread out on the field, and so we're now communicating through earpieces and radios," Giants head trainer and senior V.P. of medical services Ronnie Barnes told Steve Serby of the New York Post. "We're being — I'd like to say more vigilant — in looking at the field, and making sure we're not missing anything. We alert each other that we've seen something, and I think that's been very helpful."
Barnes said that perhaps four or five teams use that many people to spot possible concussions.
"[I]t's been really helpful to me because I'm not running back and forth, because I can be down working with a player, and another player could go down," Barnes said.
And when the Giants think someone may have suffered a concussion, the Giants don't mess around with a cursory sideline exam performed in the elements and the noise and the confusion of the sidelines.
"Generally speaking, if we decide that a player has been concussed or has concussion symptoms, we take them inside," Barnes said. "And inside, we have an iPad, with a sideline assessment tool, which then documents all of the symptoms within minutes after they were removed from the field, and it also includes a balance test, which then we can look at during the week, to say, 'This is where he was during the game, and this is where he is on Thursday, on Friday, on Saturday.'"
It's a great approach. It's the right approach. So the question now becomes why aren't the other 27 or 28 teams doing the same thing?
While we completely agree with the NFLPA's repeated requests for the use of independent neurologists during games, the biggest challenge for the NFL when it comes to concussions is striking the balance between removing from play those who has suffered concussions while also not removing from action during a key stretch of a game a player who ultimately is deemed to be fine.
"I'm a caretaker of the game with respect to sports medicine, because of Wellington Mara, and because we're a flagship team in this league," Barnes said, "and I think it's our responsibility to continue to be flagship, not only on the field, but in medicine."
It's not the product of a recent epiphany. Barnes explained that the Giants always have been ahead of the curve when it comes to concussions.
"I'd like to think that we've always had here at the Giants a high level of suspicion for concussion, and that we were conservative," Barnes said. "Lawrence Taylor, we actually used to hide his helmet when he got concussed. And he'd be looking for his helmet. Anybody who had a concussion, we would take their helmet so they couldn't return to the game."
If the current approach is good enough for the team that has won two of the last five Super Bowls, it should be good enough for everyone else. The NFL should study the Giants' approach, and the NFL should make it mandatory for every other team.

Apache Pig Wiki
Note: Pig is switching to use new wiki system. We will keep the old wiki running, but new material should go to new wiki!!!
Apache Pig is a platform for analyzing large data sets. Pig's language, Pig Latin, lets you specify a sequence of data transformations such as merging data sets, filtering them, and applying functions to records or groups of records. Pig comes with many built-in functions but you can also create your own user-defined functions to do special-purpose processing.
Pig Latin programs run in a distributed fashion on a cluster (programs are complied into Map/Reduce jobs and executed using Hadoop). For quick prototyping, Pig Latin programs can also run in "local mode" without a cluster (all processing takes place in a single local JVM).
Do you Pig? At Yahoo! 40% of all Hadoop jobs are run with Pig. Come join us!

St. Louis County Makes $2 Million Tax Error
CLAYTON, Mo. (AP) - St. Louis County's Department of Revenue neglected to add a surcharge on tax bills for about 200,000 property owners, leading to a loss of about $2 million that will be recouped.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/RnKQSX ) that the oversight meant a $2 million loss in 2012 revenue for the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District.
County Revenue Director Eugene Leung said the assessment mistake slipped through the cracks because of replacement staff unfamiliar with the details of the formula that sets water and sewer tax obligations in multiple county jurisdictions.
The county also intends to recoup the fees in a surcharge attached to 2013 property tax bills.
MSD spokesman Lance LeComb says the oversight will likely have a minimum impact as long as the money's recouped.

"I don't have a family history of heart disease but it still happened to me.
Before heart surgery, I ran and rode my bike regularly. I weighed 180 pounds, and my cholesterol was low.
I've never smoked and ate fish three times a week. Overall, I was healthy with no signs of heart disease.
In fact, I aced a recent stress test.
Now, at age 57, I'm part of the "zipper club," having had six-way cardiac bypass surgery. Fortunately, I was in good physical condition otherwise, which I guess is why I've done so well after surgery."
My diagnosis
"They told me the survival rate is 99 percent; those are pretty good odds."
That day, I felt numbness in my left arm, and I broke out in a heavy sweat. I felt nauseated and my chest hurt. When they got me into the ambulance at my friend's house, they asked me how I felt on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the worst – I told them 10. At Riverside Regional Medical Center, they did some kind of procedure that released the pressure in my chest. Then, they told me I needed bypass surgery.
My experience with Riverside
"Everything was excellent, which is why I think I got out in such short time."
I don't remember much. The EMT's rushed me to Riverside and the tell me that within 22 minutes, cardiologists were doing a heart catheterization. When that didn't completely open arteries, I was taken into open heart surgery right away.
Following surgery, I was in Riverside Regional Medical Center for only three days. They told me if I could get up and go to the bathroom and walk down the hall, I could go home, so I did.
Everyone at Riverside was wonderful. Dr. Steven Scott with Riverside did the surgery and everything went just fine.
Thriving right after heart surgery
"I'm trying to like more fruits and vegetables."
I'm single and live alone but a friend stayed with me that first night I got home from the hospital. On the second day, I took care of myself and even walked to my shop next door. My second week after surgery, I was on my treadmill and bike, doing four miles. I've had a couple bad days when I couldn't sleep. We really take sleep for granted. Overall, I feel good and was back to work in four weeks. Six weeks after surgery, I went hunting and shot a big buck.
I've been going to cardiac rehab, learning a lot about a heart-healthy diet and making sure I get plenty of lean protein in my diet. I'm not a vegetable person, liking mostly tomatoes, cucumbers and spinach. I'm into juicing now, and got apples to make my own apple juice.
After surgery, my weight was 167 to 170 pounds. I'm five foot, eight inches, and my goal is to maintain my weight at 170 pounds now.
My advice to my sons
"Now we have a family with a history of heart disease."
I have four sons, ages 19-30, who are excellent athletes. I've told them to get checkups, to get their cholesterol checked. They ate the same foods I did up to seven or eight years ago, and they need to make sure they are OK.
In Newport News, Dr. Charles Vaughan first saw Ron in the cardiac cath lab at Riverside Regional Medical Center ...
"Ronald was having a heart attack due to a clot totally occluding (clogging) one of his heart arteries. As a result, there was no blood flow to that wall of the heart leading to progressive muscle cell injury and death. I did an angiogram to take x-ray pictures of the arteries. This revealed that all of his heart arteries had severe blockage. I did a balloon angioplasty to restore flow to the heart muscle beyond the blockage causing the heart attack to save his heart muscle from ongoing damage. His blockages in the other arteries were so extensive that he had bypass to be sure the areas of his heart unaffected by the heart attack would receive good blood flow." – Dr. Vaughan
Then, Dr. Steven Scott, a specialist in adult cardiac and thoracic surgery, took over to do bypass surgery …
"Ronald told us that he had an occasional 'pins and needles' sensation across his chest for one to two months. A few days before his heart attack, he experienced chest discomfort while jogging. He had severe pain on the day of the admission and was brought by EMS to the Walter Reed ER, where an ECG identified a "STEMI", or ST-elevation myocardial infarction. He was airlifted to Riverside Regional Medical Center in Newport News. A "STEMI code" was called, which is a protocol to get patients who are having that type of MI (myocardial infarction) to the cardiac catheterization lab as quickly as possible.
In the cardiac cath lab, Dr. Vaughan performed a diagnostic catheterization which demonstrated an occluded (clogged) right coronary artery. Dr. Vaughan opened the vessel utilizing a balloon angioplasty technique. This restored the blood flow in that vessel, relieving the chest discomfort. If that had been the only lesion (blockage), Dr. Vaughan would have placed a stent in the area as definitive treatment, but injection of the left coronary artery showed significant disease there as well. This meant that coronary bypass surgery was the best treatment.
Ronald went to the operating room, and a six-vessel coronary bypass operation was performed. His recovery in the hospital was uneventful, and by postoperative day three he had met all the discharge criteria (walking in the hall, tolerating a diet, off oxygen, heart rhythm and vital signs stable, etc.). He wanted to go home on that day, so he was discharged. We typically target postoperative day four for going home, and some take longer to recover. Some people, especially if they are younger and otherwise healthy, are ready to go on the third day after surgery.
I was impressed that everything fell into place so well for him. It was like a perfect play in football, with the line keeping their blocking assignments, the receiver being at the right place, and the quarterback making a perfect throw. The team consisted of the ground EMS, the Walter Reed ED staff, the air transport, the RRMC cath lab and the operating room.
Getting back to life. Our goal with each operation is to allow people to return at least to their previous level of activity, or often a higher level of activity and function,if their angina or valve disease was limiting them before, for example. I tell people that it takes about eight weeks for them to feel that they have fully recovered, although some are walking up to a mile per day at four weeks after surgery. The things they have to deal with are usually incisional soreness (probably less than they expect), fatigue (probably more than they expect) and difficulty sleeping. Dr. Scott, a partner in Riverside Tidewater Thoracic and Cardiovascular

Rangers Agree to Terms With Forward Danny Kristoby New York Rangers @NYRangers / NYRangers.com
New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the team has agreed to terms with restricted free agent forward Danny Kristo.
Kristo, 24, skated in 65 games with the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League (AHL) this past season, registering 25 goals and 18 assists for 43 points, along with 18 penalty minutes. He led the team - and tied for seventh among AHL rookies - in goals, tied for second on the team in power play goals (seven), ranked third in points, and finished fifth in shots on goal (146). Kristo tallied his first career AHL goal in Hartford's season opener on October 5 vs. Norfolk. He registered a point in eight of the first 10 games of the season (seven goals, five assists over the span), and tallied the first of two three-game goal streaks during the year from October 18 vs. Manchester to October 23 vs. Portland. Kristo also posted the first multi-goal effort of his AHL career on January 29 vs. Adirondack.
The 6-0, 195-pounder has skated in 74 career AHL games, registering 25 goals and 21 assists for 46 points, along with 20 penalty minutes. Kristo tallied his first career AHL point with an assist while making his AHL debut with the Hamilton Bulldogs on April 5, 2013 at San Antonio.
Prior to joining the professional ranks, Kristo played four seasons at the collegiate level with the University of North Dakota, where he tallied 68 goals and 93 assists for 161 points, and posted a plus-48 rating in 157 games. In 2012-13, he tied for second in the NCAA in goals (26) and points (52), and established collegiate career-highs in goals, points, game-winning goals (six), and shorthanded goals (two). Kristo finished his collegiate career ranked 18th on North Dakota's all-time points list and tied for sixth in school history with 13 career game-winning goals.
Internationally, the Edina, Minnesota native has represented Team USA in numerous tournaments, including most recently at the 2013 IIHF World Championship, where he tallied three points (one goal, two assists) in 10 games to help the United States capture a bronze medal. Kristo also won a gold medal at the 2010 IIHF World Junior Championship, where he registered eight points (five goals, three assists) and posted a plus-five rating in seven games. Kristo tied for third on the team - and tied for ninth among all skaters in the tournament - in goals and tied for fourth on the team in points.
Kristo was acquired from Montreal in exchange for Christian Thomas on July 2, 2013. He was originally selected by the Canadiens in the second round, 56th overall, of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft.

The quiet liberal plan for entitlements
Ask liberals about GOP demands to rein in Social Security and Medicare spending, and many say this: no way.
But the truth is, there are a number of ideas to do just that already sitting on the shelves of influential liberal think tanks around Washington.
Story Continued Below
They wouldn't add up to a massive overhaul of the system, and Democrats are trying to push the biggest Medicare savings off the table — and they don't want to touch Medicaid at all.
( Also on POLITICO: Poll: 58% oppose Medicare cuts)
Even so, the ideas that already have been blessed by groups on the left could allow President Barack Obama to get the discussion on entitlements going without infuriating his base.
Here are the highlights of the Democratic entitlement reform menu:
Social Security: 'Chained CPI'
Savings: $112 billion
The idea is to change the way the government figures out how much more seniors should get in Social Security benefits each year to account for changes in their cost of living.
This new formula — a tweak to the consumer price index — would assume that people switch their buying habits when prices rise, rather than just buying the same things over and over. So, for example, if the price of ground beef goes up, someone might buy chicken or fish instead.
The result: Social Security benefits will rise more slowly.
Obama has offered the change before — he supported it during his fiscal cliff talks with Republicans in December. And two think tanks that supply ideas to the Democrats — the liberal Center for American Progress and the more centrist Third Way — have included it in their Social Security plans, giving Obama plenty of cover in case he decides to go that way again.
But a lot of Democrats and liberals aren't on board. They say seniors are already having a hard enough time with the current cost-of-living increases without dialing them back.
That's why liberals want any chained CPI agreement to be balanced out with measures to ease the burden on the seniors with the lowest incomes. For example, Paul Van de Water, a senior fellow at the liberal Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, suggests exempting people on Supplemental Security Income — which pays benefits to the lowest-income seniors — and making a special payment to seniors who have been on Social Security for 20 years because they get poorer as they get older.

Had a good trip; even lost a few pounds walking around.
We went first to Moab, Utah, one of my favorite areas.
Spent a day there, then went to Durango, Colorado.
Next day we went to Santa Fe, also visited a couple of smaller towns in the surrounding area.
Stayed in Santa Fe until Sunday, drove to Moab that day.
Around noon Monday we started on the road home.
Some pictures of each leg of the trip below. Click to enlarge.
In a few days I will also be uploading a lot of photos to my Flickr page, if anyone is interested.
Mainly took some pictures; also stopped by the two wineries there and got some stuff to take home.
1. Some ocotillo near a lodge by the Colorado River.
2. A canoe on the Colorado River.
3. A shot of the river at sundown, with my back to the sun.
4. Someone's dwelling on the Kane Creek Road alongside the east side of the Colorado River. There were several of these; some had houses built against the mountain and had hollowed out into the rock. I wonder if they are part of a survivalist group?
5 through 10, Some petroglyphs along the river, probably done by Fremont Indians.
No shots at Durango, we weren't there long enough to do more than eat dinner (some fairly decent barbecue), sleep, and go on our way.
Santa Fe
Did a lot of walking around Santa Fe, and hit a few museums. Many of them don't allow pictures, so we only have a few.
Went to a few good restaurants; we managed to get to some that Labrat put on a list for us. Los Potrillos had some excellent Mexican food, and The Pink Adobe served me a good steak with a bit of green chiles on top. The Anasazi Restaurant served me an excellent duck breast, with plantain purée, sautéed onions, and a tomatillo and orange gastrique. For breakfasts, we favored the Tecolote Cafe, as we have in the past.
Most of our photos were around the large church there, the St. Francis Cathedral Basilica.
Though I am not religious, I find old churches interesting. The church was built in the 1800's, around a chapel that was built by the Spanish in 1625. They have a statue of Mary in there that was brought over from Spain in the same year, and is still in the old chapel part of the church.
I did get some photos at an art gallery of cultures that allowed photos, but no flash. One of the pictures is below.
We saw some interesting old stuff in the Madrid area, south of Santa Fe. There were old mines out there, and a lot of interesting stuff left.
1. Old dentist chair and equipment.
2. Train used at the mine.
3. Some old equipment.
Back in Moab, we caught sight of this odd vehicle. At first it looks like a three-wheel motorcycle, but when you get close and see the engine, it is an eight cylinder car engine. The lighting was odd, so it didn't turn out very clear.
A trip to Moab wouldn't be the same without a short drive down the Potash Road right outside of Moab. It goes along the west side of the Colorado and will lead you into the back country if you take it far enough after it changes from paved to dirt road. These two shots are from a section that gets a lot of mountain climbers who are first learning. On the bottom picture you can see a light colored vehicle with a couple of climbers getting ready to set out. The dark vehicle is mine, with my wife standing next to it.
The third picture is from a couple of years ago, to show you what it is like.
Went by Ken's Lake just south of Moab, saw this big raven looking over his domain (the area is full of them).

Verizon Wireless Expands Network Capacity, Enhances Service with New Cell Sites in Finksburg, MD and Parkton, MD
LAUREL, MD — Verizon Wireless has placed a new cell site in Finksburg, Md. to add capacity to the company's network. The new site will enhance the company's digital wireless network to deliver advanced wireless voice and data services to its customers.
In Parkton, Md., Verizon Wireless has also added a new cell site. The company has also completed work that more than doubles the number of calls its extensive wireless network can handle for customers in Parkton by deploying the latest code division multiple access (CDMA) digital call handling equipment.
For customers, the addition of the new cell sites translates into fewer busy signals and fewer dropped calls. "With this significant addition to our wireless network, we're providing our local business and consumer customers with the technology and capabilities they've been asking for," said Patrick Devlin, president of Verizon Wireless' Washington-Baltimore-Virginia Region.
Customer growth, greater usage due to high value pricing like SingleRateSM national and regional calling plans, and the popularity of its Mobile Web wireless Internet services are driving the local demand for the company's wireless services. Staying ahead of the wireless growth curve requires continuing network expansion and enhancements.
Verizon Wireless is investing more than $200 million in its network in the Washington-Baltimore-Virginia region as part of the company's nationwide $4 billion network improvement program in 2001 to offer customers service on the most extensive wireless network in the U.S.
About Verizon Wireless

The coast-to-coast wireless provider was formed by the combination of the U.S. wireless businesses of Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) and Vodafone (NYSE and LSE: VOD), including Bell Atlantic Mobile, AirTouch Cellular, GTE Wireless and PrimeCo Personal Communications. Verizon Wireless has a footprint covering more than 90 percent of the U.S. population, 49 of the top 50 and 97 of the top 100 U.S. markets. The company, headquartered in Bedminster, NJ, is 40,000 employees strong. Reporters and editors can find more information about the company on the Web at http://www.verizonwireless.com.

Over the years to come more and more Chinese will move to major cities. That means an increased need for wastewater solutions, but also less space to install them in. Grundfos takes care of that.
Until 2020 it is expected that 150 million Chinese will change their lives as country people to new ones as city people. Especially the largest cities, like for instance Shanghai and Beijing are expected to grow significantly.
This means an increased demand for water and it gives an enhanced need for removal of wastewater in the most efficient way possible. What it does not mean, on the other hand, is more room for installing the wastewater solutions. Grundfos has an answer to this – prefabricated pumping stations.
- It was a bit of a headache, Grundfos helped us shake off, as they presented us with the prefabricated pumping stations. It is a great solution for residential areas with huge water consumption and with little room, a representative for Heiqning Town Government in Shanghai says about the Grundfos-solution, which is going to help the 48.000 residents in the area getting rid of their waste water.
Perfect in a tight situation
The new part of town is situated right at the mouth of the Yangtze River and the location by the water is a concurrent factor since the space for construction is limited. For instance, by one of the pumping stations, only about one square meter was free to build on.
At the time of construction, the project was the first of its kind in China.
But in a country where the space in the big cities needs to be utilized to its fullest, the perspectives are great.
- This project turned out to be a door-opener for us, in which we have been able to present a solution with great potential for the Chinese market. This was just the beginning. At the moment we are working on extending the sewer network in the same part of the city and some of its neighbouring districts in Shanghai, Terry Zhang, a Grundfos Sales Engineer, explains.
Grundfos delivered three different pumping stations in total, complete with wastewater pumps and control systems.

Artist Jason DeMarte's photography juxtaposes sublime, remote landscapes and commercially produced and processed products such as Cheetos, Donuts or chips. The odd pairing can go two ways, for one, his work may spark an intriguing dialog between what's man-made and what runs wild, second, the compositions might be alluding to our new-found pleasure in consuming these products. What once gave us so much life and inspiration (breathtaking landscapes, natural phenomena) is now second to last in our list of pleasurable things to experience.
DeMarte, however, presents this pairing in beautiful ways- ultimately making them coexist in a way that we never thought possible.
"I represent the natural world through completely unnatural elements to speak metaphorically and symbolically of our mental separation from what is 'real'."
