Washington, D.C. PAHO HQ. April 7, 2008.-
"...We need a comprehensive Framework for Action to properly address climate change and its impact on health: addressing Evidence, implementing Adaptation mechanisms in the health sector, and providing Leadership..."
The greatest impacts from climate change will be in the health and well-being of the human species!
World Health Day 2008
Mirta Roses-Periago*, Director
Every year on 7 April, WHO and PAHO, in celebration of World Health Day, identify a topic of global public health interest as a theme. For 2008 the theme is Protecting Health from Climate Change. This year is in fact quite special. We are also celebrating 30 years of the Alma Ata Conference and Declaration and we are also celebrating WHO's 60th anniversary, with the theme: Our Health, Our Future.
Climate Change and Health
Climate change is an intrinsic element of the history of this planet. The scientific alliances allow us to better understand the phenomenon and our role of accelerating its stages and cycles. The evidence of this process has become stronger and clearer over time. Last year the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change submitted its fourth assessment report with more evidence than ever before on what is happening to the global climate. The report has been reviewed, and approved, by hundreds of scientific peer-reviewers and by national Governments.Climate Change and Human Health: Risk and Responses.
Revised Summary 2008.
It is my pleasure to announce that today we are launching the revised summary of the document on "Climate Change and Human Health: Risk and Responses" which was prepared by WHO, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), and which includes the latest data accumulated in the past five years and from the from the fourth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
People have been greatly concerned about the effect that climate change will have on the environment, but data point to one direction: The greatest impacts will be in the health and well-being of the human species!
Climate change impacts health both directly-for example, through heat waves, floods and storms, and other extreme weather events; and indirectly, through effects on infectious disease, on water availability, and on agricultural production.
These are not minor issues. Diseases that are sensitive to climate include some of our biggest killers, such as malaria and diarrhea, and climate change increases risk factors for other conditions such as malnutrition, the single largest contributor to the global burden of disease. These are also diseases of children and of the poor. Indeed, when it comes to climate change, those whose health is most at risk are those who have contributed least to the problem. The poor, whether in rural or urban areas, have always suffered more from the consequences of a degraded environment. Lack of safe food and water has resulted in diarrheal diseases in children and malnutrition in the long term. Climate change now threatens to perpetuate these problems. Our fight for equity is at stake.
Some diseases are highly sensitive to temperature and precipitation. Some years ago, a team of U.S. and Peruvian scientists working in Lima took daily records both of temperature and of the number of children admitted to a pediatric clinic due to acute diarrheal disease. On hot summer days and during the El Niño phenomenon of 1997-1998, more and more patients were admitted. This pattern is seen throughout the developing world. It suggests that even small temperature increases may lead to an important increase in this disease in the poorest of populations.
Dengue is another climate sensitive disease which greatly affects our Region. It is clear that its spread is closely correlated with warm, humid conditions. This known relationship has been used to study incidence of the disease with future climate changes. The conclusions are worrisome. The expected climate change is likely to increase the risks of dengue for millions of people over the coming decades.
PAHO, WHO, United Nations, Health Authorities
We have been working on understanding the health impacts of climate change for a long time. The first WHO assessment came out in 1990. In that report environmental contaminants which cause health problems, such as ozone depletion, were identified as gases which merit special attention. Thus, the process identified as the greatest contributor to climate change today, has already caused extensive damage to Public Health as an unlimited environmental contaminant.
Our work has evolved, from describing the risks to health due to climate change, the training of health practitioners, and guidance on how to do risk assessment and prevention planning, to proposing practical guidance on protecting health from specific climate risks.
In recent months, ministers of health of our Region and from around the world have been raising the issue of climate change at their meetings. They are requesting PAHO and WHO to do more to support them in a more coordinated and strategic approach to protect human health from climate change. We are not only responding but we have anticipated their concerns. In 1995 PAHO raised the issue at the Conference on Human Health and Climate Change, at the National Academy of Sciences here in Washington, alongside many experts and leaders concerned with public health, among them, the then U.S. Vice-President Albert Gore.
In Barbados, in 2002, we held the first International Conference on climate change and the impacts on health of the people in the Caribbean region. This was done in partnership with other UN and national agencies. In 2007 we held the first International Conference on Climate Change and the Effects on Health in the Central American Region, which was closed by Nobel Peace Prize recipient, President Oscar Arias. We have held several other similar events globally, and this week, in Brazil, we are hosting the First Regional Workshop to develop a Regional Plan of Action on Climate Change and Health, which will be presented to the health ministers, during PAHO's Directing Council in September 2008.
The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change calls for "mitigation," that is, measures should be taken by countries to reduce the release of greenhouse gases. But because some aspects of climate change are irreversible, at least in the short to medium term, it also calls for "adaptation," by the different sectors. It is clear in the health sector that "Adapting to Climate Change" and "Protecting Public Health" are in fact the same agenda. The work of the health sector, in controlling infectious disease, in reducing environmental risk factors, and in providing health action in natural disasters, is already protecting populations from the health risks of climate change. But the health sector can and should also contribute to mitigation, by identifying ways to reduce their environmental impact, and in particular the emission of greenhouse gases, in its operations."Green PAHO" initiative
Today, I am also launching the "Green PAHO" initiative, an integral way to convert our working environment "green" and thus continue our goal of building Healthy Environments.
Taking into account that a Healthy and Safe Work Environment has a positive impact on the well-being and health of our staff members, their families, and the community in general, from the moment I became Director of PAHO in 2003, the subject of a Healthy Organization has been an aspect of special interest in our work agenda. In recent years, we have achieved some progress, but from this moment on, with a systematic and integrated approach, we wish to develop a Health and Well-being Program in the Organization, including Representative Offices and Centers.
For this purpose, Committees of Health, Safety, and Well-being will be created, which, in coordination with the Area of Human Resources Management (HRM), will be responsible for the definition of a Plan of Action.
In order to obtain this objective, I invite, not only staff members, but also the Staff Association, the Family Association, and the Association of Former Staff Members to actively participate in this process.To properly address climate change and its impact on health, we need a Comprehensive Framework of Action. This framework should be focused on broad areas, addressing Evidence for action, implementing Adaptation mechanisms in the health sector, and providing Leadership to both protect people from climate change and promote healthier environments for all.
Under EVIDENCE, we need to increase knowledge, information and awareness of the health consequences of climate change. Although evidence accumulates with good research, we clearly understand that we already have enough evidence to know that we need to act. Lack of complete evidence is no justification for inaction. We need to carry out the applied research that tells us how best to intervene - not how much to worry, but how to respond. But we must also disseminate information so that health professionals, in every corner of the Region, can help in protecting people from the threats of climate change. And we need to create the much needed awareness: that we can all fight climate change and we can take this unique opportunity to make a healthier planet.The Communication Initiative Network in the Region of the Americas Today I have the pleasure of launching "The Communication Initiative Network in the Region of the Americas" for 2008. This initiative will include:
- Debates among approximately 1,500 journalists of the Region on the topic of climate change and health, and
- The Latin American Health Journalism Award focusing on climate change and health
Under ADAPTATION we must work harder to strengthen public health systems to address additional threats from climate change and we must improve our response to public health emergencies.
We need to be able to supply the basic health services, including during public health emergencies, such as floods, storms and heat-waves. They are the vanguard for the protection of the people from potential harm of climate change.We need to consider health systems in the broad sense: doctors, nurses and hospitals, but also public health prevention. Our most effective responses to protect health from climate change are basic public health interventions.
Under LEADERSHIP we must promote and lead cross-disciplinary partnerships to ensure effective adaptation and mitigation actions.
Thirty (30) years ago, the Alma Ata declaration provided a vision of primary health care, and PAHO has carried out this vision. Climate change reminds us of the importance of maintaining this vision.
Climate change threatens to increase the disease burdens of the poorest, and to undermine their progress towards the Millennium Development Goals. It is therefore yet another reason to expand our efforts to control high prevalence diseases, many of which are linked of poverty.
We are aware that in today's world, no single agency can solve health threats alone, and this is especially true for climate change. We will create the necessary partnerships to protect people, to enhance public health, to maintain the Primary Health Care spirit alive in front of a changing world.
Colleagues and friends, for this event we have chosen the image of Pachamama, the universal image of Mother Earth, or the protector of life. This is a positive image, a vision that tells us we can all contribute to protect our planet and to protect our health.

In recognition of National Minority Health Month, the Diverse Elders Coalition is featuring stories relevant to the health disparities and health issues affecting diverse older adults during April. A new story will be shared every Wednesday with additional posts shared throughout the month. Be sure to visit diverseelders.org regularly during the month of April.
The Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) has a bold vision: to ensure that Alaska Native people are the healthiest people in the world. By working to ensure that all Alaska Native and American Indians in Alaska have health insurance, the ANTHC is helping to eliminate long entrenched health disparities. ANTHC was formed almost 20 years ago as a nonprofit health organization that offers quality health care services for all Alaska Natives and American Indians.
Recently, the National Indian Council on Aging (NICOA) spoke with Monique Martin, a dedicated healthcare navigator for ANTHC. Growing up in Southeast Alaska gave Monique insight on the best ways to communicate with Alaska Native/American Indian elders across the state. She has traveled the land, teaching about the Affordable Care Act, enrolling and sharing what she knows.
Partnerships were formed with other organizations that had a shared vision to help in tackling the task. The United Way of Anchorage, AARP, Alaska Primary Care Association and the Anchorage Neighborhood Health Center all came together to spread the word about the Affordable Care Act.
Monique said that when they started there was a general lack of information and citizens were seeking a source for reliable, unbiased information. ANTHC has become that source with a content-rich website that has an authentic "Alaska feel". To make sure the educational materials had that crucial "Alaska feel" they made everything as Alaska Native specific as possible. They took generic PowerPoint slides and took out anything that did not apply to Alaska. They added pictures that reflected the people they were speaking with. They stuck with plain language. For example, instead of the phrase "shared responsibility"; they used the term "tax penalty". The result was that the message felt like it was coming from your neighbor, someone you know. Personalizing the message makes it more real and more believable. Read More

I have been working at Acronis full-time for less than a year
Pros – I have been with Acronis for 2 months, and I have a good feel for company culture now. Under the new leadership there is an abundance of positive change with the business direction. The new leadership understands what is needed to move forward and expand, while not ignoring the business that has made them successful for the last decade.
Cons – There is still a lot of work to be done, which means long hours, but the work is rewarding and team-oriented.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep the new course, and continue the employee-centric activities that have resulted in the positive work environment.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

A few weeks ago, tickets to Taylor Swift's upcoming show at the Amway Center went on sale to the "general public."
At least that's what you were told.
In reality, members of the public had a very slim shot at scoring one of the coveted tickets that day.
In fact, of the 12,118 seats to Swift's April 12 show, more than 10,300 had already been sold to or held for certain credit-card holders, people with connections to Swift and members of other insider groups.
When the "general public" sale opened, only 1,740 seats were left ... fewer than 15 percent of the total seats available.
The result: About 30 seconds after the sale opened, the best seat you could find was a single seat (no twosomes were left) in the highest level of the arena ... for about $100.
The show had been billed as an affordable family night out at a city-owned venue — with tickets starting at just $29 for the teen and preteen girls who make up the bulk of Swift's fan base.
In reality, these cheap tickets were virtually nonexistent by the time the general public was allowed to type in credit-card numbers.
Instead, regular folks were offered "VIP" packages that included pre-show parties … for $387.
Welcome to the shady world of ticket sales ... in arenas that taxpayers paid to build.
The story of modern-day ticket sales is murky and complicated.
It involves many moving parts — from ticket scalpers to insider privileges.
But all of these parts have a common effect: driving up ticket costs.
Industry insiders largely shrug, saying it's simply the nature of the business these days. Sophisticated ticket-brokers have tainted the process. And artists, who have seen record sales decline thanks to Internet downloads, now want a bigger piece of the touring pie.
But there are those who believe the public deserves better — especially when it comes to venues such as the Amway Center, which was financed with tax dollars.
"These public facilities are party to all this," said Dean Budnick, who wrote "Ticket Masters: The Rise of the Concert Industry and How the Public Got Scalped." "And the public has a right to know how it all works."
So how does it work?
Well, in Swift's case, the hot young country star planned two stops in Orlando — something city officials describe as a coup and proof that building the new, $480 million facility was an investment that paid off.
But 85 percent of the tickets to the April 12 show were gone before the general public ever got a shot.
For the April 11 show, 78 percent of the tickets were gone before the public sale.

Senator Jon Tester discusses his longtime mentor
By Sally Mauk
Senator Jon Tester will become Montana's Senior Senator-- in only his 2nd term—once Senator Max Baucus is, as expected, confirmed as the new U.S. Ambassador to China.
News Director Sally Mauk is in Washington D.C. this week, interviewing both Senators about the transition.
In tonight's feature interview, Sally talks with Senator Tester about his longtime mentor. Tester says he was star struck when he first met Baucus at an economic development meeting in Havre in the late 90s, just before Tester himself entered politics.

7 out of 10 feature Macs :)
Can someone explain the fascination with instagram to me? The filters are cool I guess, but I can't figure out this app's reason for being so popular... especially since you have to sign up to their network to even use it.
Confused about why #8 made this list. Mac computer with speakers against a white wall? I get that Macs are pretty, but that isnt a 'Cool Home Office' it's a computer. on a desk.
I'm confused by 6, that looks like a normal stock standard office to me
#9 - love the desk
If this is what I'm missing with Instagram, then I have to admit to being somewhat underwhelmed upon discovering what I am missing with Instagram: photos of desks with Mac computers. Posting standards slipping, AT?
Love the first pic - the flashy artwork against the white is great. Not to mention the art itself!
Would love to see more offices of people who really work at home -- like freelance writers, graphic designers and other self-employed workers. The offices in the pictures are attractive but they wouldn't meet the needs of most at-home workers.
My back hurts just looking at most of the home office chairs. Especially #2. But do love the desk in number #9.
Pictures have a yellow tint. Reminds me of a Sunset 'How To' Decorating book from the early sixties - except for the microelectronics.
i saw #10 photo..is it Yuna in ur iMac ? hehe
anyone know where the desk from
5. User m_heartyou (paperplanes.ca)
is from?
Does #10 have a crochet computer cover? AWESOME.
#6, where's that poster from (please and thank you)?
I'm so bored with Macs being featured all the time on this website. Does no one use Windows or Linux on a ThinkPad or something? With all of the amazing technology available nowadays, it seems like a lack of creativity to continue to buy into the whole Apple trend.
L-A, #6 artwork is my work. Acrylic and graphite on canvas.

CLAUSE: Keep 'em Away from Us
Hotel will not allow any group that is incompatible with Group to book any function space or suites in Hotel over Group's meeting dates. Hotel acknowledges that "incompatible" groups include companies or organizations whose business concerns ___________ and/or who may attract attendees or exhibitors from the same area of business. Should any "incompatible" group seek to book function space or suites in the Hotel over Group's meeting dates, Hotel will inform Group and grant the first right of refusal on all function space and suites to Group.
EFFECT: Narrow It Down
This clause seeks to have the hotel turn away business, so it is important that the clause be both necessary and narrowly construed. This type of clause might be important for companies that need to protect a competitive advantage or trade secrets. For example, if Group A is holding a corporate meeting to discuss the development of a new annuity product, they do not want Group B's employees or managers around to overhear their corporate strategies or product details. This type of clause might also be important for a group whose core purposes or programming is in direct conflict with another group.
The conflicting-group issue should be negotiated as part of the contract. The parties to the contract need to be very clear about how "incompatible" groups are defined. By putting this language in the contract, the hotel has an affirmative responsibility to understand the nature of other groups requesting meeting space. Likewise, depending on the nature of the contract clause, the group may need to be prepared to pay for additional function space or suites to compensate the hotel for the business it is being asked to turn away.

Show biz sanctuary: $150 million restoration of 83-year-old synagogue
Photo by Robert Garcia via Flickr Creative Commons
Non-Westside worshippers at the iconic Wilshire Boulevard Temple are working together to finance a Hollywood-heavy project of biblical proportions -- a $150 million restoration of their crumbling sanctuary.
The synagogue was opened in 1929 in the area now known as Koreatown, with funding from gantseh k'nackers Irving Thalberg, Carl Laemmle, Louis B. Mayer and brothers Jack and Harry Warner, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
The first since its founding, rehab work is set to wrap in time for the 2013 High Holidays. The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion will serve as stand-in for this fall's services.
Backed by gifts from its long-standing, silver screeners (the congregation dates back to 1862), the $150 million makeover ($90 million has been raised, so far) will include renovation of the historic domed sanctuary, construction of a new K-6 school, parking structure with rooftop play area, administration building, and a separate event space for community services, like food-pantry assistance.

Re: the lead toilet bend: looking "OK" means nothing, those things corrode from the inside out. On several occasions, I've started leaks on fine-looking
lead bends just by lightly running my fingers over them, which evidently broke through the tissue-thin spots. If the bend was installed in 1956, it's long
overdue for replacement.
The lead in the space between hub and fitting is what's drilled out. Use caution: it's easy to jam the bit in there, perhaps snapping it off.

Public Information Office
The U.S. Census Bureau reported today that in 2011, 22 percent of households experienced one or more possible "hardships" in fulfilling their basic needs in the previous 12 months. These hardships included difficulty meeting essential expenses, not paying rent or mortgage, getting evicted, not paying utilities, having utilities or phone service cut off, not seeing a doctor or dentist when needed or not always having enough food. Among all households, 9 percent experienced exactly one of them, 7 percent experienced two of the hardships and 6 percent endured three or more.
These statistics come from Extended Measures of Well-Being: Living Conditions in the United States: 2011, a report based on the Survey of Income and Program Participation. The report measures well-being based on housing conditions, neighborhood conditions, community services, possession of specific types of appliances and electronic goods, the ability to meet basic needs and the expectation of help in meeting these needs — if necessary — from friends, family and the community. These measures are compared both across demographic groups and over time.
This Census Bureau report covers the period from 2005, before the recent recession, to 2011, or about two years after the recession ended. During this period, several measures of financial difficulty showed signs of worsening. The number of households with unmet essential expenses increased from 16.4 million to 20.0 million (from 14 percent to 16 percent of all households), and the number of households experiencing food shortages rose from 2.7 million to 3.4 million (2 percent to 3 percent). The number of households with unpaid rent or mortgage payments increased 2.7 million to 9.6 million (6 percent to 8 percent).
Most households (86 percent) expected to obtain help from friends, family or community agencies if they were to have trouble fulfilling any of their basic needs. However, when such needs did arise, few actually received such help. For instance, when a householder had trouble making rent or mortgage payments, only 5 percent received assistance from friends, 17 percent from family members and 10 percent from other sources.
One measure of well-being is the possession of electronic goods. For example, the report shows that in 2011, 28 percent of households had only a cellular phone (no landline), up from less than 1 percent in 1998, when these data were first collected. Among householders younger than 30, the rate was 65 percent. In contrast, one in 10 of all households had a landline phone only, down from six in 10 in 1998. Overall, cell phone ownership grew sharply, with only 36 percent of households owning one in 1998, but 89 percent doing so in 2011.

This is by far my favorite series right now...

This is by far my favorite series right now...
I love me some Walking Dead, but Saga is what I look forward to most..
Okay, I found the first issue for free in Comixology and decided to give it a whirl. Why not after all? And you know what?
Just meh. Not seeing anything too impressive about it. Feels like I read this story plenty of times in the past with all of the themes, ideas, and characters in it that feel very familiar; but doing nothing of particular interest to truly pull me in. I've read plenty of stories before in the past that has a familiar feeling to them (when you read enough Shonen manga, you get the feeling of deja vu after awhile), but there was nothing here that excited me. Characters really didnt do anything to get my attention and dialogue was average(Someone mentioned to me that the dialogue was great, but I didn't find anything noteworthy about it). The pacing was good though, introducing everything quickly and well without dragging its feet. However, the part in the forest felt crammed in, like it sort of belonged in issue 2.
Art was meh. Nothing really stands out about it and doesnt really capture my eye. Alien design is alright. Ive seen variations of creatures like these before in the past, so Im not impressed really. The series is quite violent and brutal to a point where it sort of turns me off, like Hack/Slash or Parastye did in the past. Theres also a weird and pointless sex scene of humanoid creatures with TVs on their heads. Nothing says mature and sexy like something someone would have drawn on the Internet as a joke.
So in general, this comic really does nothing for me. It worked enough as a first issue, so Ill grant it that. Otherwise there is just nothing here to appeal to me. Its just doesnt interest me enough to want to continue. Its probably the weakest comic Ive read from Brain K. Vaughn so far (though I have yet to read his Ultimate X-Men material, so perhaps this statement could change). Oh well, at least I also tried Mind the Gap as well.
i hope with the news that Vaughan's adaptation of 'Under the Dome' being picked up it doesn't hinder his Saga work.
Is it just me, or does anyone else think we might see "the stalk" again?

I just feel like she was playing dead?

Because harsh reality is clearly a handicap.
Currently collecting: Aphrodite IX, Elephantmen, The Flash, Godzilla, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Guardians of the Galaxy, Saga, & Usagi Yojimbo.
Could be for sure, who knows with this series being so young...
I just felt like she was playing dead for some reason...
I am all for more Stalk, even if only in flashback. I am interested in how it worked, you know...between her and The Will.
Jk, though its likely we will find out. I now know how robots do it thanks to BkV and Fiona. What a great design though, The Stalk. So cool.
The series is awesome so far. I do hope Stalk comes back. The ghost theory is interesting...
What do you all think about the sword? I have a feeling it is more important that is even hinted so far.
Just bought and read Volume One today. Wow, color me impressed. Might be my new favorite series.
I just found Saga today, read all 7 issues.. Mind=Blown
Yeah I'm new to comics, Yeah the basic concept of the comic isn't new but the world building is great, the narrative from the child is great, art is exactly what it needs to be and the writing is fantastic.

Skipper Stuart calls time on Sutton United
10:44am Friday 20th December 2013 in Sport By Tim Ashton, Sports Editor
Former Sutton United skipper Jamie Stuart paid homage to Paul Doswell after quitting the club to be reunited with his old AFC Wimbledon boss.
Stuart joined Margate of the Ryman Premier League as a player/coach earlier this week after being approached by Terry Brown, who took the manager's job last week.
While the 37-year-old admitted it was a no-brainer move, he also admitted it was tough to leave Gander Green Lane after more than 50 appearances in the yellow of United.
"I owe Paul [Doswell] a lot, he has been fantastic for me and we've had a great run," he said.
"He is such a hard-working manager, which is why I think we got on so well.
"It was a tough decision to go, but having talked a lot with Dos, my wife and Terry, it was the right decision and a good decision.
"I have a family with two young children to think about, it just made sense.
"I cannot deny I will miss the people at Sutton, they are terrific – from Clive the kit man to the chairman Bruce and his wife, it is a great club.
"But I am not getting any younger, I want to move into coaching – I already coach the kids at Welling United – and Margate train not 15 minutes from home in Kidbrooke."
He added: "I also want to go into management and working under Terry will be a terrific learning curve – they don't call him the Alex Ferguson of non-League football for nothing.
"I know him well from my time at Wimbledon, I like how he wants his teams to play."

Established in 1881 as stop on the Texas and Pacific Railroad, Pecos gained early fame as a hangout for rowdy cowboys and fast-draw lawmen. Touted as the "Home of Worlds First Rodeo," Pecos was the scene of a cowboy contest in 1883 that was the forerunner of todays popular sport. The West of the Pecos Rodeo is still held annually the last weekend of June. Today, it is a hub of travel and a commercial center for ranching, irrigated farming, produce processing, and oil production. Area hunting includes mule deer, javelina and upland game birds.
Pecos also is known for cantaloupes. Originally grown only in area irrigated fields, this luscious melon's seeds known as "Sweet Pecos Cantaloupe," is the delight of gourmets and is grown in several places in West Texas and the Southwest. Harvested late July through September with a festival held in late summer. For festival schedule, call 432/445-2406.

We love fresh, local, organic food, but are we starving the food enterprises that make it possible? Wall Street and mega-banks are uninterested in funding small food enterprises, so it is up to us to provide the capital they need.
That's why we created the Soil Trust, a philanthropic fund that can do what Wall Street can't: invest in small and mid-size organic farms, seed companies, creameries, grain mills, distribution businesses, community markets and more, in rural America and in the inner city.
Donate to the Soil Trust and help fund the transition to a food economy that increases access to fresh, local, organic food for all.

Top Notch
Really love the Kodak Essential USB Power Pack KP1000 charger. I was worried that is might be a bit big, but it isn't as big as I thought it was going to be. Be careful where you put it when charging, I had it in my bag and it got quite hot. Just make sure you take it with you if you haven't had a chance to charge your phone as it's an annoying thing to have at home when you're out with no battery. If this happens though, switch the data off on your phone and it's amazing how much longer your battery lasts.
Cheap price, cheap product
The Kodak Essential USB Power Pack KP1000 is a cheap device which is why you should not expect too much from it. The power pack produces a high frequency noise when connected to an iPhone, I got a headache from it. Additionally, I missed some kind of indication for the power level in it, but it does not show any indication except for charging. When the battery pack is empty you only notice it because the charged device is not charging any more. I was disappointed of the overall quality.

CranstonArc has changed its name to AccessPoint RI to better reflect the growing breadth of it's services.
This nonprofit organization has long specialized in services supporting children and adults with cognitive, physical and medical needs to live to their fullest potential. In recent years, this expertise has expanded beyond the area of disabilities to include vocational training for a variety of adults through the agency's People In Partnerships division.
AccessPoint RI, though based in Cranston, has several programs that serve people throughout the state. The name change will also help people who need the agency's services to recognize that the agency's geographic scope is statewide.
The name, AccessPoint RI, was chosen to capture the nature of the agency's work with people. The agency's staff creates partnerships with the children, families and adults who participate in services, supporting them to achieve their goals. Whether it's a family that is seeking assistance to optimize their child's development, an adult who may need support to live independently, or an individual who wants job training to find suitable employment, AccessPoint RI provides services to help people live fuller lives.

So 99,9% of USA are not fifth, fourth, third, second or first generation born there? Everyone are just immigrants? Also, the AK is branded for USA, so all the terrorists, guerrilas and foreign soldiers using those weapons are actually USA people in disguises?
I mean, Hot Dogs are pretty USA, even so they were made by a German guy, but in USA. So yeah, you have one thing right there.
Yeah. Us Yanks aint nuthin' but pure d mutts.
@ Jubeh: Try this trick. Just turn one of your meals (like breakfast or lunch) into a piece of fruit & some real fruit juice or some real tea (fuck that bagged shit) & eat whatever you'd like for the other two within reason. STOP SNACKING SO DAMN MUCH YO! Do whatever workout you do & you'll find that your metabolism has quickened & your stomach gets full really quick.
At least that worked for me. I started doing this about...half a year ago & I'd say it took about 2...maybe 3 months before the pounds starting coming off but when they did they came off quick. I've lost 20 in the past 2 months. I don't watch it, I might go past my target of 200.
Really not sure if it works for everyone. I work out daily what with the Tai Chi and all and I walk around Nashville like an aborigine so...that might be part of it.
Oh & for the record, there's not too much that the US didn't jack from other countries. We are a notion of pirates & robber barons after all, what did you expect.

The XM8 is being used by US marines, though.
Personally i think the OICW is the most bad-ass looking, only bad thing is the extremely high production costs.
which is not suprising since it's basicly half gun, half computer
I think it looks ugly as hell tbh, in any configuration xD. Also the XM8 may still be used, but I'm talking about being a standard weapon.
Though I love how my favorite weapon in terms of design- the ACR - came from my home state. But apparently it's most used in Poland.

When building a composite book with FrameMaker documents, and have the Auto Load XREF checked, resolves the cross references to the dita topics, instead of the fm documents. As a fm book with fm documents is built, the cross references are expected to point to fm documents, not dita/xml files.
Is this a bug, or is there a way to have the cross references point to the generated fm files?Failing to point to the fm location causes cross reference problems when publishing to PDF as all links will be broken.
The Save Ditamap as book will generate a book with dita topics and is therefore references are assumed to point to xml/dita files.
When using "File->Save Ditamap As - Book With fm components", the xrefs in the generated book refer to the corresponding fm document and not the original xml/dita file. Hence, the links in PDF also get generated properly.
In case, it is not happening this way at your end, then there seems to be some specific reason.
I will suggest you to try the following steps:
1) Create new Map.
2) Create two new topics - 1.dita & 2.dita - and add to map.
3) Add an xref in 2.dita pointing to an element in 1.dita.
4) Save as Book with fm components
5) Open 2.fm book component.
6) "Double click" on the xref. The DITA xref dialog shall display 1.fm as the source file name.
Also, what version of FM are you using ? (to check this use "Help->About FrameMaker")
Tarun Garg
Adobe FrameMaker Engineering
I tested it as per your instructions in the Default structapps setting (so used DITA-Topic-FM and DITA-MAP-FM) within FM9.0p250.
Ferry van der Vorst
It appears the installation of FrameMaker 9 was corrupted. On other machines it worked OK.
I have the same thing happening on several machines. It can't be a corrupted FM installation. There must be a setting somewhere
creating this problem. I need this to work. Our DITA implementation hangs in the balance.
After some testing, I have found out that patch p250 (latest patch; upgrade from patch p237) in FrameMaker 9 introduced this bug in the DITA implementation.
Prior to this patch, when saving the ditamap as a Book with fm components, the cross references are correctly resolved to the FrameMaker documents created during this process. Once this patch is installed, the cross references are no longer resolved to the fm documents, but to the source dita topics.
A temporary solution would be to uninstall patch 250 via the control panel.

Product ID: C1-D90-EEO2-01-US1
Subject Content: The 1990 Census Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Supplemental Tabulations File, Part 2 is based on data from the 1990 decennial census. This file was originally done for a consortium of four Federal agencies. This file contains four data tables. These tables are identified as F1 - F4. Part 1 was prepared earlier for a group of private sector users.
Tables F1 - F4 are listed below. This tables present EEO data similar to those on the 1990 census/EEO file, but are expanded to include occupation data by age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, and education.
The data in each file will be presented in a collapsed fashion. This is, table cells with no data are not shown. The universe for this file is civilian workers. Employment Status Recode 1 (Employed, at work).
F1. Occupation (Detailed Census) by Age, Sex, Race, Hispanic origin.
Universe: Civilian workers (ESR 1*)
F2. Occupation (OPM*) by Education, Sex, Race, and Hispanic origin.
Universe: Civilian workers (ESR 1)
F3. Occupation (EEO-1*) by Sex, Race, and Hispanic origin.
Universe: Civilian workers (ESR 1)
F4. Occupation (EEO-4*) by Sex, Race, and Hispanic origin.
Universe: Civilian workers (ESR 1)
Notes: ESR 1 = Employment Status Recode 1 = Employed, at work OPM = Office of Personnel Management EEO-1 is an employer information report for private company data provided to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). EEO-4 is a State and local government information report, also provided to the EEOC.
Geography: Tables F1 - F4 are provided for counties, places of 50,000 or more, and in nine States for Minor Civil Division (MCD's) of 50,000 or more. The data are tallied by place of work. For each place of work, counts are given for up to nine counties of residence.

Big Brother is a combination of monitoring methods. Unlike SNMP where information is just collected and devices polled, Big Brother is designed in such a way that each local system broadcasts its own information to a central location. Simultaneously, Big Brother also polls all networked systems from a central location. This creates a highly efficient and redundant method for proactive network monitoring.
C-Kermit is a combined serial and network communication software package offering a consistent, medium-independent, cross-platform approach to connection establishment, terminal sessions, file transfer, character-set translation, numeric and alphanumeric paging, and automation of communication tasks. Recent versions include FTP and HTTP clients as well as an SSH interface, all of which can be scripted and aware of character-sets. It supports built-in security methods, including Kerberos IV, Kerberos V, SSL/TLS, and SRP, FTP protocol features such as MLSD, and source-code parity with Kermit 95 2.1 for Windows and OS/2.
DansGuardian is a Web content filtering proxy that uses Squid to do all the fetching. It filters using multiple methods including, but not limited to, phrase matching, file extension matching, MIME type matching, PICS filtering, and URL/domain blocking. It has the ability to switch off filtering by certain criteria including username, domain name, source IP, etc. The configurable logging produces a log in an easy to read format. It has the option to only log text-based pages, thus significantly reducing redundant information (such as every image on a page).
DeleGate is a multi-purpose application level gateway or proxy server that mediates communication of various protocols, applying cache and conversion for mediated data, controlling access from clients, and routing toward servers. It translates protocols between clients and servers, converting between IPv4 and IPv6, applying SSL (TLS) to arbitrary protocols, merging several servers into a single server view with aliasing and filtering. It can be used as a simple origin server for some protocols (HTTP, FTP, and NNTP).
distributed.net is a loosely knit group of computer users from all of the world that is taking up challenges requiring lots of computing power (most notably the RC5, DES, and OGR cracking contests). It is simple to participate in the challenges by downloading and running their client software (which uses idle CPU time to complete its tasks).
Ettercap is a network sniffer/interceptor/logger for ethernet LANs. It supports active and passive dissection of many protocols (even ciphered ones, like SSH and HTTPS). Data injection in an established connection and filtering on the fly is also possible, keeping the connection synchronized. Many sniffing modes were implemented to give you a powerful and complete sniffing suite. Plugins are supported. It has the ability to check whether you are in a switched LAN or not, and to use OS fingerprints (active or passive) to let you know the geometry of the LAN.
John the Ripper is a fast password cracker, currently available for many flavors of Unix, Windows, DOS, BeOS, and OpenVMS. Its primary purpose is to detect weak Unix passwords. It supports several crypt(3) password hash types commonly found on Unix systems, as well as Windows LM hashes. On top of this, lots of other hashes and ciphers are added in the community-enhanced version (-jumbo), and some are added in John the Ripper Pro.
Nmap ("Network Mapper") is a utility for network exploration, administration, and security auditing. It uses IP packets in novel ways to determine which hosts are available online (host discovery), which TCP/UDP ports are open (port scanning), and what applications and services are listening on each port (version detection). It can also identify remote host OS and device types via TCP/IP fingerprinting. Nmap offers flexible target and port specifications, decoy/stealth scanning for firewall and IDS evasion, and highly optimized timing algorithms for fast scanning.
A multi-platform Zenity clone.
A Web service to edit an XML configuration file.

Bismarck's Fire Protection Rating has gone from Class 3 to Class 2, according to the Insurance Services Office.
Only 1.7% of cities in the United States are Class 2 or better.
The scale ranges from 1 to 10, 1 being "Superior" and 10 "does not meet standards."
The rank is based on training, emergency response and prevention.
Bismarck is the first city in North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota to reach Class 2.
"The leadership here in Bismarck through the City Commission set a priority on their strategic plan and their investment in public safety and we're very proud to be a part of that and to deliver the service that we can to Bismarck," Fire Chief Joel Boespflug said.
The ISO uses fire protection ratings to set fair premiums for fire insurance.
Boespflug says most cities rank between Classes 5 and 7.

Tag: flash mob
Fantasy basketball mock draft: evening of Thursday, Aug. 26 (EDT)
by Jason on Aug.17, 2010, under Mock drafts
From the looks of it, there's enough interest to organize the fantasy basketball version of a flash mob, otherwise known as a mock draft. Mark your calendars:
Who: You
What: A fantasy basketball mock draft (H2H, nine categories, 12 teams, 14 rounds)
When: The evening of Thursday, Aug. 26 (around 7 p.m. EDT — exact time to be announced closer to the day when I know what time slots are available)
Where: Mock Draft Central (sign up for a free account; no, I do not get paid for this referral, but yes, I should)
Why: To get our fantasy basketball juices flowing during the suffocating desert that is the offseason
If you can't make this one, don't worry — we'll organize at least one more before the season tips off. Ask any questions you might have in the comments section below, or reach me on Twitter: @fbasketballblog

A new documentary about a heart-stopping subject--gendercide, or the systematic killing of newborn girls in countries like India and China simply because they are girls--has inspired one super-cool man to help raise awareness through music.
After seeing just the trailer to the new film, It's a Girl, rapper Omékongo Dibinga was moved to compose a powerful hip-hop song of the same name. Upon hearing it, the film's director Evan Grae Davis joined forces with Dibinga to film a music video, which they shot together in New York City with the musician's daughters and niece.
In it, Omékongo, a hip-hop artist, poet and organizer of the motivational 1,000,000 Youth Campaign, raps: How have we forgotten that the woman is key / to open the future's door for our children to see? / The phrase 'It's a girl' should bring cause to rejoice, / but we kill innocent victims who have no choice.
"I wrote this song because hip-hop is a global force, yet too many hip-hop artists do not use their powerful skills and influence to speak on issues like these," Omékongo said in a press release. "I want to use my talent to make a positive change in this world."
"I'm sure having two daughters of his own makes it personal," Davis added. "His words reflect a deep passion against the injustice of gendercide in a way we wanted to share."
The film It's a Girl, shot on location in China and India, explores the not-oft-discussed issue of girls being killed, aborted and abandoned. The United Nations estimates it's the reason that as many as 200 million girls around the world are missing today.

Monfils tells chair umpire at Qatar Open, 'I'm black, so I sweat a lot'
"I'm black, so I sweat a lot," Gael Monfils' said in defense of a time violation in Doha.
Last fall, the ATP announced a rule change that eased the penalty for a a player receiving a time violation for taking more than 25 seconds between points. The rule change allows umpires to give a time-violation warning at the first infraction, and then the equivalent of a service "fault" — as opposed to a full point penalty under the prior rule — for each subsequent infraction. The rule change was all fine and good, but the question was whether the umpires would have the courage to actually enforce it. Turns out the answer is yes. Kind of. And the players aren't too happy about it.
Monfils is one of those players. He received a time violation in the second set of his second round match against Phillip Kolhschreiber in Doha, and instead of shaking it off Monfils grew petulant. He complained to the umpire about the ball kids slowing down his ability to serve in a timely fashion and he blamed the humid conditions. "I'm black so I sweat a lot," he said.
Asked about the incident after the match, Monfils continued with some rather odd logic.
"I think I let down my concentration (after the time violation)," said Monfils after the win. "Because I think I was up 1-0, and as I told the umpire 'I'm fit. I'm not (breathing heavy) at all. And if I'm taking time, it's because I'm just trying to dry my hands. So actually, it's not a violation."
So according to Monfils, if you're fit as a fiddle but just need a few extra seconds to towel off between points you should be forgiven for exceeding the allotted time. The penalties should be reserved for those left huffing and puffing due to their lack of fitness.
"So I think the umpire has to judge if the guy is really taking time because he's tired or whatever or he's taking maybe two or three seconds more because of ball kids or whatever."
Monfils wasn't the only victim this week. Feliciano Lopez received a warning when he was serving at 4-5, 0-40 in the first set against Lukas Kubot on Tuesday. Lopez clearly went over the allotted 25 seconds, but in years past an umpire probably would have let it go, especially given the scoreline, with Lopez facing three set points on his own serve. Not this time. The umpire issued the penalty, and Lopez was docked his first serve. The Spaniard let his displeasure be known.
You can seen the incident at the 46-minute mark:
While it's easy to come down on the players for complaining when they're clearly breaking the rule — a rule they've been told will be enforced in earnest this year — I can understand their frustration. This practice of giving the players upwards of 30-40 seconds between points has gone on for years. The rule has become completely illusory in light of marquee players like Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Juan Martin del Potro, all of whom are not shy about taking their time when they want to. Umpires refused to enforce the rule, players abused it, and now no one knows what exactly the rule is.
Now the ATP wants to enforce the 25-second rule, which I fully applaud. But again, it's about actual enforcement and consistency. You can't just call a time violation when you happen to look at your watch and see it's clicked past the 25-second mark. Enforcement has to be objective, unforgiving and automatic. It doesn't matter the scoreline, the players or whether the players just played a 45-shot rally and need extra time to recover. You go over 25 seconds, you get dinged. It's the only way to keep things fair for the players. Show them clear boundaries, and they will adjust.
It will be interesting to see how this rule change plays out. It's one thing for this to happen to journeymen players at an ATP 250 that no one is watching. It's quite another if or when you call it on the men who basically bankroll your tour.
